McMillan Tech Industries Lake Point Branch, Marketing and Accounting floor, waiting area near the meeting room
The Transformation Gun that Teresa Talton and Martin Stragey (in the form of a female Asian nurse) struggled over was the Cheerleader Gun. And, in that struggle, the Cheerleader Gun went off and zapped Richard McMillan.
Richard McMillan was already in the form of a young woman dressed in a cheerleader's outfit. The outfit, however, changed from a Forestville High cheerleader's uniform to a McMillan Tech Industries cheerleader uniform.
Almost instantly, McMillan leaped off the couch, and did a somersault. The cheerleader then began to chant.
"MTI, it's the best! So much better than the rest!
All our tech is peachy keen! Best that you have ever seen!
Best thing since the tangerine! Take it from me, cause I'm their queen!
I'm Ricki! Yay Ricki!"
At once, everyone else in the room stared in shocked silence. Denise Brewster, Susan McMillan, and Gloria Galinsky stopped their shouting, and Rachel, Samantha, Sarah, and others stopped their attempts to stop the shouting.
Teresa Talton took advantage of the distraction to knock the Cheerleader Gun out of Stragey's hands and tackle the former Marketing executive to the ground. One of the security guards rushed over and placed handcuffs on Stragey.
"What the fuck just happened?!?" Sarah exclaimed, staring in shock at the cheerleader who had previously been Richard McMillan.
Everyone was now turning to where Stragey was struggling against the handcuffs. "Stragey happened." Teresa Talton said. She then turned to Stragey. "Just what were you trying to accomplish?"
"I wanted to get McMillan to change his mind about firing me." Stragey said.
"And you thought that would help?" Teresa asked.
"You haven't learned anything, have you?" Rachel said. "All night, you've had these crazy ideas without thinking them through. You kidnap me, you try to change everyone in the meeting room with the Random Gun, and now THIS."
The cheerleader was now practicing dance moves, almost oblivious to everything else.
"Dad!" Sarah shouted.
The cheerleader turned in Sarah's direction and stopped for a bit. She laughed a gentle, giggling sort of laugh. "Sarah, why are you so upset? Come on and join in the cheers!"
"You're not yourself!" Sarah exclaimed. "You're not a cheerleader!"
"Of course I am!" the cheerleader replied. "I'm Ricki, and I cheer for McMillan Tech Industries!"
Sarah turned to the others. "Someone, please use a Restoration Gun!"
Susan McMillan was also shocked. "Restoration Gun? Is there such a thing? If there is, USE IT! My husband may have cheated on me, but I'm not going to leave him stuck like this!"
Ryanne then turned to Sarah and Susan. "I'm not sure that's a good idea." Ryanne said gently.
"Why do you say that?" Sarah said. As gentle as Ryanne's tone was, there was also the clear implication that Ryanne knew what she was talking about.
"The last time we tried a Restoration Gun on someone who'd been transformed multiple times, it didn't end well for them." Ryanne said. "We need to wait and see before we try something."
At this point, Dr. Anissa Fairlane, the psychiatrist, arrived. "I seem to have missed the latest commotion." she said dryly.
Samantha Duncan nodded. "It seems like we missed a lot of things while we were upstairs."
Ryanne nodded. "Okay, we've got a lot of new people here." she said, indicating everyone who was not there for the previous recap of the Roman Coakley incident. Sarah McMillan, Susan McMillan, and Denise Brewster also needed to be told the whole story about what happened in the meeting room before then as well. "I think we'd better fill everyone in."
