You have just entered room "vesselsofsouls."
CGNakibe has entered the room.
CGNakibe: SOULS!
Lithaladhwen: I'm lurking while I go make my ancestors proud.
Arch mage144: Just starting the room up. It'll actually be a bit longer than expected before we start since we're not done with dinner yet.
T3chn0Namagomi: (I still want to know what's going to piss me off so badly)
Lithaladhwen: Scusate, i miei amici.
Lithaladhwen: *lurks*
PapatymisonN has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: (Greetings, fellow RPers.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *You can't prove anything!*
PapatymisonN: (Can you prove you can't prove anything?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I just did.*
PapatymisonN: (So you just PROVED that PROVING anything is impossible.)
PapatymisonN: (Are you getting why there could be a problem with that statement?)
Lithaladhwen: (*ahem*)
Arch mage144: (First off, everyone thank Ashley for cooking so the GM could do some last-minute prep.)
Lithaladhwen: (Shini: *vanishes in a puff of logic*)
Arch mage144: (It was wholly necessary.)
PapatymisonN: (*does so* You are an excellent cook, wife, and mother.)
Lithaladhwen: (Mother? When did that happen?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Don't ask.)
PapatymisonN: (Xenomorph facehuggers are far more stealthy these days.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Would you guys mind if Xaq watched?)
PapatymisonN: (Believe that's up to the GM.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (He kinda wants to watch mecha RP. o.o;-)
Arch mage144: (Not really, no, invite him.)
Will Rennar has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Xaq.)
Will Rennar: (*sits back to watch* j0.)
Arch mage144: (Worst coffee ever. OK, anyway. Everyone ready?)
Lithaladhwen: (Also, because I love me and love the wiki...)
Lithaladhwen: (Wiki link! )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yay text color!)
CGNakibe: (What is this Text Color? of which you speak?)
PapatymisonN: (Hey, I can do that too!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ( http://www.mysidia.org/rpgww/Tareen You all think you're so fancy.)
Arch mage144: <GM, NPCs, Cecil, Whoever Else>
Lithaladhwen: (Tareen's friends don't dance, unfortunately.)
PapatymisonN: (*wears a monocle and top hat*)
T3chn0Namagomi: <Zeiren Aslan, Mid-Boss>
PapatymisonN: (She has friends?)
T3chn0Namagomi: <Yes, I just admitted that he is a mid-boss>
Lithaladhwen: <Helena "Death without Blood" Mazuo>
CGNakibe: <Serran "Yeah, still here" Dien>
TheWaiChibiAngel: <Awesome>
T3chn0Namagomi: (What did Xin'ng call Zeiren again? XP)
PapatymisonN: <Oxblood G., probably Gnashrak>
PapatymisonN: (Oh. Right.)
Arch mage144: *Alright...after successful completion of the last mission, the members of Delta Unit have reconvened in the briefing room to discuss the next move...*
Besyanteo has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: <Oxblood "Stinky" Gnashrak>
Besyanteo: (AHHHHG WHAT?)
Lithaladhwen: (Speak of the devil.)
Arch mage144: *Tareen, who did not participate in the stealth mission, is presently being caught up on the recent turn of events...*
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
Arch mage144: (Wrong die.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *sitting in the room, hand on his chin while listening to the stuff right now, or whatnot*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (See IM, honkeypants.)
Arch mage144: (3d6, this is GURPS. You're not in the WoW RP.)
PapatymisonN: *is ALWAYS bored at briefings...*
Arch mage144: (Less than skill = success)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 3 6
Arch mage144: (Less than or equal, rather)
Lithaladhwen: *Sits with one leg up on her knee, feeling great because she blesses herself in the mornings now.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (10! Success.)
PapatymisonN: (Is that what the thousand-year-old reapers are calling it now?)
pd Rydia has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Dia.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Note. I will disappear from the chat temporarily to deal with groceries in a few minutes)
Arch mage144: Officer Giles: Okay. Well.
Lithaladhwen: (Charles: Nearly two thousand, but who's counting?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Is presumably there, but who can say?*
PapatymisonN: (Resh.)
Arch mage144: G: This confirms our prior suspicions, I suppose. These images are kind of difficult to argue with. SentanCorp is likely to denounce them as an elaborate HoloShop job, but I digress.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Aww, man! How come the hot chick has to be working against us?
Lithaladhwen: (Then he knows she's exactly 1770 years old.)
PapatymisonN: (Resh: And 234 days, 48 minutes, 23 seconds.)
Lithaladhwen: (Yes, well. Stupid deities and their perfect sense of time.)
CGNakibe: Meh. I've seen better 'shops. I mean, just look at those pixels. -.-
Arch mage144: G: Thanks to your hard work, we have the evidence we need...but I haven't gotten word from the brass regarding what we're planning to do.
PapatymisonN: (He's just meticulous, is all.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: O! Oh ho!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Raises a hand! And waves it.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Gotta love that wave.*
T3chn0Namagomi: If they plan to do anything.
PapatymisonN: *minor yawn...*
Arch mage144: G: Personally, if I were in charge, it would involve a full-scale assault on SentanCorp as a terrorist organization, but...yes, Investigational Engineer Tareen?
T3chn0Namagomi: Personally, I'll say I'm a slight bit disappointed that Makura's hot sister is involved heavily in this.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What's Holoshop?
Arch mage144: Cecil: *suppresses a laugh*
CGNakibe: *face + palm*
Arch mage144: G: It's a computer program designed to create complex holographic images or manipulate digital holography.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Oh oh!
Arch mage144: G: Very expensive software. Probably overpriced. I hear it gets copied illegally a lot. *laughs a little*
TheWaiChibiAngel: What's Holography?
Lithaladhwen: *mutters* I'm glad she's asking...
Arch mage144: G: ...you're the strangest engineer ever...it's the capture of a three-dimensional image that can be viewed later and stored on electronic media, like a computer disc.
CGNakibe: IM: These are the days when its better just to hope things get back on topic sometime this year. -.-;;;
Arch mage144: G: Like old-fashioned photographs, only more detailed.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Disappearing now. :-( Assume Zeiren daydreams or somesuch for the time being)
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's what they tell me! *Proud nod*
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Arch mage144: G: Right. Anyway.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Okay, photographs I know.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I've used those before.
Arch mage144: (Yeah, he can daydream, that works. He's thinking about girls. I rule this. What else does he think about?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Mechs.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Girls in mechs.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Mech girls.)
Arch mage144: G: I heard you encountered Makura in the compound.
Besyanteo: (How to lead an orc to a bath tub,)
Arch mage144: (Entering mech girls from the rear.)
Besyanteo: (and maybe for it to get in.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Gently.)
Lithaladhwen: We did.
Arch mage144: G: And I am to understand that you don't think he's on the side of the enemy.
CGNakibe: (You can lead Zeiren to hot girls. Anything else is out of my range of thought)
Lithaladhwen: That's correct.
PapatymisonN: (It'll never happen.)
CGNakibe: Doesn't seem to be.
Lithaladhwen: He claims he's going to see what he can figure out with his own resources before he comes back.
CGNakibe: We'll see what happens later, though. *shrugs*
Arch mage144: G: He may be telling the truth. He has not yet returned, whatever that means.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I could have found out, but nooo, nobody told me you were going anywhere...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Just because I have great ideas involving boxes.
PapatymisonN: ... He's not on their side.
Arch mage144: G: Yes, well. Apologies, Investigational Engineer, but the higher-ups wanted to send Private Redford instead. While some of your unique abilities may have been useful...
Arch mage144: G: ...Private Redford's more...uh...tactical mindset was necessary for this mission.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Boxes!
Lithaladhwen: ...Yes, well. How nice.
Arch mage144: C: In all fairness, you can use a box to sneak past people in this game I played once. *nods at Tareen* It works pretty well. Then again, none of us are Adamant Serpent.
Lithaladhwen: ....What?
Lithaladhwen: (Brian, I hate you.)
PapatymisonN: ...
Besyanteo: (It had to be said though. ^^)
CGNakibe: Heh. Don't think that would've worked.
CGNakibe: We're not cool enough for boxes.
Arch mage144: G: *sighs* Field Medic Elmine, I don't think that is particularly likely to work on a real mission.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I could be if I wanted to be.
PapatymisonN: Depends on how many boxes there are...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'll prove it, too.
PapatymisonN: IM: Sliver Unit is a better game, though...
Arch mage144: G: Not now.
Lithaladhwen: What the hell are you people talking about?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..I dunno.
Arch mage144: G: Absolutely nothing. Now. Back to business.
PapatymisonN: *nod*
Arch mage144: G: A direct assault on SentanCorp by the military, as I said, seems like the most reasonable course of action, but the collateral damage aspect is being...discussed.
Arch mage144: G: I realize that a lot more people are going to be put at risk if those symbiote-piloted mecha continue wreaking havoc, but...it's hard to just air-strike a civilian facility without raising a lot of eyebrows.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
Arch mage144: G: SentanCorp is in the middle of Enchufa. It isn't a place you can just bomb in broad daylight.
CGNakibe: Hn.
Arch mage144: G: That doesn't mean we aren't going to do something.
Arch mage144: G: We are obligated to, at this point.
Lithaladhwen: Personally nothing would make me happier than seeing everything in a two-mile radius reduced to a smoking crater. But I don't make the plans for a reason, I guess.
PapatymisonN: IM: We should scoop it off the face of Gaera, like the Cyb do in Star Travel...
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
Arch mage144: G: You do not, Special Ops Mage Mazuo, and that may be for the best.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Recap?)
Lithaladhwen: (I can do it.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Thanks)
Arch mage144: G: If we declare SentanCorp a terrorist organization and provide proof, it will give time for civilians to figure out where they stand...and potentially get to safety.
Arch mage144: G: But if we give them a timeframe, it gives them an opportunity to prepare a counter-attack.
Lithaladhwen: (One moment for backlogging action...)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Um..Huh...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I know what to do.
Lithaladhwen: ....Oh, Gods. What?
Arch mage144: C: What's your idea, Tareen?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Blow them up now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Then go back in time and warn people.
PapatymisonN: ... I like how she thinks.
PapatymisonN: IM: Today.
Arch mage144: G: ...your plan is genius, but...I doubt its...feasibility.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
CGNakibe: *snickers*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Look, we have toasters and time magic, I don't see the problem!
CGNakibe: We'd need something more subtle. Or at least to get SentanCorp to play their hand wrong.
Lithaladhwen: (Toasters!)
CGNakibe: (I will not be pleased until I have toasterDOGS)
Arch mage144: G: Private Dien is correct.
Lithaladhwen: Subtlety is for people who lack the conviction to do things now. I'm voting for a crater.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...assuming the Ghost Armors attacked the wrong place, that would give clear leverage.
Arch mage144: G: Your opinion is summarily noted, Mazuo.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...of course, I doubt they'd set them to attack Enchufa
Lithaladhwen: Thank you, sir.
CGNakibe: Don't get me wrong, Helena. I'm all for bombing the place too. But there's no way we could get that one to work.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is rediculous. Why am I shackled to these mealy-mouthed cowards? Just go GET IT DONE.
Lithaladhwen: You ride in a giant animated suit of armor.
Lithaladhwen: There was a day when no one thought they could get that to work.
PapatymisonN: ... she's got a point.
Arch mage144: G: Unfortunately, my hands are a bit tied right now until the higher-ups discuss things.
CGNakibe: Yes. Presumably to prevent wars involving giant animated suits of armor from breaking out, by the by. >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Leans around*...
T3chn0Namagomi: Bloody bureaucracy.
PapatymisonN: We could just ask forgiveness instead of begging permission.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Invisable rope! I knew it.
CGNakibe: Sure, Oxblood. That'll work. You go say you're sorry for bombing their highly populated civillian area while I go find a new place for myself and my family to live. ^^
TheWaiChibiAngel: FORCEFIELD!
PapatymisonN: Issue a pollution warning or something first.
PapatymisonN: Evacuate the area.
Besyanteo: (I'm shit at dividing my attention. Later folks. :-\ )
Besyanteo has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...they'll still suspect it.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
T3chn0Namagomi: Pollution has NOTHING to do with places suddenly vanishing.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Forcefield?
PapatymisonN: Who said anything about vanishing?
Lithaladhwen: No. We kill people. We're the military. They kill people. They're in the military, too. You want to know the difference?
PapatymisonN: Still blow the place to hell, just... say WHY afterwards.
Lithaladhwen: When they kill people they enslave their souls in mechanical armor.
Lithaladhwen: It's better if we do the killing if killing is to be done.
PapatymisonN: The alternative's... yeah. That.
Lithaladhwen: And I think that killing will be done.
Lithaladhwen: Either way.
Arch mage144: G: *listening to all this wordlessly*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: FORCE FIELD >_<
PapatymisonN: ... around the building so that no one gets hurt past them?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Whatever. I don't want to get caught up in the talk of three old men and a cat up top.
PapatymisonN: o.o
Arch mage144: G: Nueva, what's all this about a forcefield?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...It's a fun word.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Oh!
CGNakibe: Its a fun word, yes.
Arch mage144: C: So is pudding, as I recall.
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
CGNakibe: ... Hm.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yes...I made the reference)
TheWaiChibiAngel: And if you put up a barrier, like, zwow! PUDDING! Then you can stop other stuff from getting exploded, too.
Lithaladhwen: (You did.)
Arch mage144: C: The problem as far as I can see is that the "bad stuff" is underground.
PapatymisonN: Bunker busters.
PapatymisonN: Or something like... mole missiles...
Arch mage144: C: It's hard to blow up something underground without accidentally blowing up the office building on top of it, and civilians work there. We saw them. People who don't know anything about this project.
PapatymisonN: They dig, THEN explode...
T3chn0Namagomi: Structural damage
Arch mage144: G: ...wait.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Damn these people. I can't imagine they're ignorant of the stakes here. Why are they hesitating? Because of a few unplanned casualties?
T3chn0Namagomi: The place will still be likely to collapse.
Arch mage144: G: How deep underground was it?
T3chn0Namagomi: Couldn't tell.
Arch mage144: G: It's one thing to blow it up with explosive charges, but...
PapatymisonN: But deep.
CGNakibe: So... Huh.
T3chn0Namagomi: Long-ass fast elevator was the only way in.
CGNakibe: Drop it. o.o
Lithaladhwen: *taps her fingers on the sole of her shoe impatiently*
Arch mage144: G: Oxblood, you may have just hit upon a brilliant idea.
PapatymisonN: Don't be THAT surprised.
T3chn0Namagomi: Be moreso.
PapatymisonN: *minor glare, but too proud of himself to care too much*
Will Rennar: (Thank you for making me wipe Cherry Coke of my monitor, Doug.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I bet I can find another way!
T3chn0Namagomi: *ignore*
CGNakibe: You know.
Arch mage144: G: Enchufa is close enough to sharp coastline that it might be possible to set up a temporary underwater base of operations, then dig through the ground deep enough that it won't upset the surface.
CGNakibe: Tareen's idea is good too. But do we even have a field rig that strong?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...our Armors aren't properly equipped for aquatic combat.
Arch mage144: G: We can fix that.
PapatymisonN: Yeah... I'd sink like a stone...
A Rockin SN has entered the room.
Arch mage144: G: But I wasn't thinking about underwater combat.
Lithaladhwen: Neither am I. Can we fix that, too? I evidently need air to live.
Arch mage144: G: The point is just to create a tunnel that leads to the underground bunker that's large enough to support mecha...or an army.
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, I'm just saying. The base will need defending.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Underwater is a cool place.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Except for the fish.
Arch mage144: G: It's just an idea. We'll see what the brass thinks.
Arch mage144: C: What's wrong with fish?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Me and fish have history. *Grimly*
Arch mage144: C: Huh? o_O
Lithaladhwen: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...-.-;
Lithaladhwen: You're an odd woman. One of the oddest I've met, and I've met a lot of people.
TheWaiChibiAngel: You'd have history with fish, too, if they ate you.
T3chn0Namagomi: Regardless, that doesn't cover what we would need to do until then.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I like the sealab idea.
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Arch mage144: C: Must've been a big fish.
AngryMechaFan has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Doug.)
Arch mage144: C: I wouldn't worry too much, though. There's always a bigger fish. Something probably ate that one.
Will Rennar: (AIM issues?)
AngryMechaFan: (Stupid Internet)
Lithaladhwen: (AGH Damn the references in this RP!)
CGNakibe: As long as WE'RE the bigger fish.
Arch mage144: G: While this discussion of marine life is fascinating...
AngryMechaFan: ...Commader, I'd like to request something.
CGNakibe: Something not fishsticks, I hope.
AngryMechaFan: If it would be possible, the specifications on the Mephisto. I noticed that Elsa's was a similar model.
AngryMechaFan: With her sided with the enemy, it would not be too surprising if we had to fight her.
AngryMechaFan: As such, getting the specifications would be helpful in regards to getting an idea of the capabilities it might have were we to have to directly come up against it.
Arch mage144: G: I don't have them, but I can retrieve them.
AngryMechaFan: Please do so.
AngryMechaFan: If viable
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH.
Arch mage144: G: I'll try to get them by tomorrow morning at the latest.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hit them in the knees!
Arch mage144: G: Excuse me?
CGNakibe: *shakes his head*
AngryMechaFan: *shakes his head*
TheWaiChibiAngel: The knees.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Oh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: The one we caught, I looked at it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: The knee is funky and if you smack them hard enough, it'll break so it can't move.
AngryMechaFan: -<Yaaaai. She's totally nuts...>-
CGNakibe: Well. o.o That's.... that's good to know. o.o
AngryMechaFan: (That was demonic, for the count)
AngryMechaFan: Different model, Tareen.
CGNakibe: IM: GO FOR THE EYES!
PapatymisonN: So how long's this Aquabase take to make?
Lithaladhwen: *glances at Zeiren*
Lithaladhwen: -<Yes. She is.>-
Arch mage144: C: Yeah, but if she's talking about the modified Shadowstorms, we have no reason not to be interested in her data.
AngryMechaFan: -< ...You know it too?>-
Arch mage144: C: I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of those.
Lithaladhwen: -<I grew up in the Netherworld back when I... was younger.>-
Lithaladhwen: -<Anyway. Briefing?>-
Arch mage144: G: I don't know. I have to talk with engineering about the viability of the plan. It might be an incredibly stupid idea after all, but it seems brilliant right now.
PapatymisonN: Let's hope...
Lithaladhwen: *refocuses*
PapatymisonN: IM: I have a score to settle with the ones who destroyed my Jarga...
Arch mage144: G: With force-field technology it's relatively easy to set up a barrier, and keeping it oxygenated is equally easy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: My idea was good?
Arch mage144: G: All we really need down there is rudimentary construction equipment.
CGNakibe: So. Oxblood and Tareen came up with our new plan.
TheWaiChibiAngel: My idea was good!
AngryMechaFan: Right. Though I noted that hitting the generator causes a powerful enough explosion to destroy multiple ones...
CGNakibe: IM: I'm suddenly a tad scared. >.>;;
TheWaiChibiAngel: Woo!
Will Rennar: (Any other signs of the Apocalypse we should be aware of?)
AngryMechaFan: >_> The end is near, Ser.
CGNakibe: At least I've got my towel for it.
AngryMechaFan: You too?
PapatymisonN: Abandon all hope. ^_^
AngryMechaFan: (XD)
AngryMechaFan: (Reference-tastic!)
Lithaladhwen: (Wil: Horseman of death?)
Lithaladhwen: (Because we have one of those.)
Arch mage144: G: Yeah, alright. Meeting adjourned.
AngryMechaFan: -<So...you're actually partially demonic?>-
Lithaladhwen: *waves Zeiren off*
PapatymisonN: *exit!*
Arch mage144: G: And quit speaking in tongues in my ready room!
AngryMechaFan: Not my fault my mother wanted me to be cultured, Commander.
Will Rennar: (Oh gods..)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uh...
Lithaladhwen: Demonic crap. It's not important.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Should we speak in ears, then?
Arch mage144: G: ......
Arch mage144: G: My head hurts.
Arch mage144: C: I have something that can fix that!
TheWaiChibiAngel: My head feels fine!
Arch mage144: G: ...not now.
Lithaladhwen: .....
AngryMechaFan: *gets up, and leaves*
Lithaladhwen: *follows Zeiren*
Arch mage144: G: It would! All of you, get out of my sight and go goof off or something. *facepalms*
PapatymisonN: *heads to the music room to get his other axe*
Lithaladhwen: Part succubus by origin.
Lithaladhwen: The rest was human.
AngryMechaFan: Interesting. o.o
AngryMechaFan: Honestly, not sure what kind my mother was.
CGNakibe: *walks out, yes*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Stands, mumbling about how gross that is.(*
AngryMechaFan: ...she did lead me to a lot of embarassment in high school, though...
CGNakibe: Well, that's... interesting to know.
Lithaladhwen: I... don't remember my schooling. But my mother died a long time ago.
Lithaladhwen: My father was Valthi.
Lithaladhwen: I think we've been over that.
AngryMechaFan: ...Let's put it this way. It's not fun being the "Milf's kid."
Arch mage144: (OH GOD.)
Arch mage144: (You said that.)
AngryMechaFan: (I did.)
Will Rennar: (**FACEPLANT**)
Lithaladhwen: I... well. I guess that would... what the hell does that mean?
PapatymisonN: (Zeiren's mom has got it goin' on...)
CGNakibe: (Hahaha)
Lithaladhwen: (Nama: Once upon a time, Helena would have been quite sympathetic.)
Lithaladhwen: (Because, y'know. Quinn.)
PapatymisonN: (She's all I want, and I've waited for SO long...)
Will Rennar: (**AND AGAIN**)
AngryMechaFan: <_< Let's just say that others did, and still would find her attractive today.
Lithaladhwen: Oh. Okay.
A Rockin SN: (Haha)
AngryMechaFan: Particularly not fun in high school.
Lithaladhwen: Where did the term "milf" come from?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And, due to lack of anything else to do...She's going to go find something to do.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Milfius Tyranicus.
Arch mage144: C: That's not what it means!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Leader of the Milf forces several hundred years ago.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sage nod, still walking*
Arch mage144: C: No, Tareen, it's an acronym. >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'm going straight to hell for that.)
Lithaladhwen: For what?
AngryMechaFan: (We ALL are)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Membranes Illegal Lightning Fences.
TheWaiChibiAngel: If it ain't MILF, it ain't worth jack!
Lithaladhwen: Tareen. That does not make sense.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Still walking! She's gotta be out of earshot soon.*
Arch mage144: *a blonde woman in an engineer's jumpsuit approaches Tareen* Engineer Tareen! I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation!
Lithaladhwen: That isn't helpful.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Tell that to Membrane.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Huh?
AngryMechaFan: Oookay. I'm going to check on Scelestus. I requested a couple of modifications.
Lithaladhwen: Wait. Tell me what the acronym is.
Arch mage144: E: *headscratch* Er...
AngryMechaFan: *whispers in Helena's ear*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Blink*
Will Rennar: (...Again, thank you guys for making me wipe Cherry Coke off my monitor.)
CGNakibe: Time for me to do some checks on Pan.
Arch mage144: E: I heard you were responsible for finding the structural weakness in the modified enemy armors, weren't you?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Yeah. The kneejoint is funky in the funkadelic gland.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Grand funk kneejoint.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Oh god the references.)
CGNakibe: (Did someone cast ReferenceAga tonight?)
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Mom I'd like to fuck? Oh, okay. Duly noted.
Lithaladhwen: I probably won't need that phrase.
PapatymisonN: *is playing bass guitar in the lounge*
AngryMechaFan: Doubt you would.
Lithaladhwen: Good to know, though.
Arch mage144: E: My brother's a pilot...his wingman saved his life yesterday by shooting out the actuator on an enemy mecha when his flare discharger jammed. The enemy mech's missile launched straignt into the ground.
Arch mage144: *straight
Arch mage144: E: Blew out the enemy cockpit. If you hadn't isolated that weakness...I don't know what would've happened...
Arch mage144: E: ...can I get your autograph?
Lithaladhwen: ...
AngryMechaFan: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Kay.
AngryMechaFan: I'm going now.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Three gil says she just signs with an X.
Arch mage144: E: *produces pen and paper*
AngryMechaFan: *walks toward the hangar*
Arch mage144: C: *looks amazed/dumbfounded*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Takes it, and scribbles! ..Scribble scribble*
PapatymisonN: (I'll see that.)
PapatymisonN: (Knew it.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *..It's like a T with a squiggly line. And a little doodle next to it.*
Lithaladhwen: (Helena doubted her literacy.)
Arch mage144: E: *looks at the signature curiously and then nods enthusiastically*
TheWaiChibiAngel: There you go! Anything for a fan!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Be it ceiling or ocelating, I love them all.
Will Rennar: (*FACEPLANT* Gaagh!)
Arch mage144: E: Thanks! I hope I can do as good a job as you do!
Arch mage144: E: *runs off*
Arch mage144: C: ...that was interesting.
Lithaladhwen: That was bizarre.
TheWaiChibiAngel: That was awesome!
Lithaladhwen: But, uh... good for you, Tareen.
AngryMechaFan: IM: The world is going to hell. Stinky's ideas are actually being liked, and Captain Insano is famous. o.o;
TheWaiChibiAngel: I wonder when the Tareen fanclub's gonna start?
Arch mage144: C: Potentially tomorrow, I'd wager.
CGNakibe: (Zeiren's mom: HIIII~!)
CGNakibe: (And now, a message from the Queen of the Underworld)
AngryMechaFan: (Zeiren: ...oh no...)
Arch mage144: *Serran's cell-phone blips at him*
CGNakibe: (Quinn: *Hugs Helena* >:D)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Frickin' sweet!
CGNakibe: *picks up the phone* Hello?
AngryMechaFan: (Brian, do feel free to humiliate Zeiren through means of Keetais. XP)
Arch mage144: Cellphone: You have one missed call. Press 1 to listen to saved messages.
CGNakibe: *press* Huh. Don't remember her saying she'd call now...
Lithaladhwen: *goes to curl up in a chair or something*
PapatymisonN: *There are chairs in the lounge...*
Arch mage144: Phone: Serran. This is Makura. Your cell phone was the only one I could recall the number to reach.
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, sure. She's in there.*
CGNakibe: IM: Crap.
PapatymisonN: *doesn't notice her enter*
CGNakibe: IM: Nothing like missing really, really REALLY important calls. >.<
Lithaladhwen: *doesn't say anything!*
Arch mage144: Phone: I have dire news. This line is not secure. I need to speak with you this evening at 2100 hours. Be at a computer terminal and logged into ChatNet.
CGNakibe: *checks the date and time*
Arch mage144: *Date and time--less than ten minutes ago.*
PapatymisonN: (*rolls for playing competency!*)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 5 6
PapatymisonN: (Damn, 12. Failure.)
PapatymisonN: *SOUR note* Ooh... have to practice... >.<
CGNakibe: IM: Well, lets see what we can get out of this.
PapatymisonN: o.o Oh. Hey, Hel.
Arch mage144: (Oxblood fails his "get laid with music" check)
CGNakibe: *Hurries back to his room.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: He sounds like a Valthi metal record being eaten by sharks.
Lithaladhwen: Hey. *lifts a hand in a wave*
Arch mage144: *Current time is just after 1400. It'll be a while yet before Makura's scheduled "meeting."*
Arch mage144: (BRB.)
AngryMechaFan: *in the hangar, looking over at the Scelestus* ...err, what did you do to it? The forearms look huge now.
AngryMechaFan: Those hand-guards especially. o.o;
CGNakibe: IM: Well, got some time, at least.
PapatymisonN: ... I need work. ^^; *puts his axe down...*
PapatymisonN: *which is a straight up black affair with white fingerboard...*
CGNakibe: *picks up a notepad, pen and paper*
Lithaladhwen: (Welcome to your Megadeus.)
Lithaladhwen: (Enjoy, Zeiren.)
CGNakibe: Time to plan...
AngryMechaFan: (...Ew. No.)
AngryMechaFan: (I was thinking more OR-Weltall)
CGNakibe: And.... time to get some snacks.
Will Rennar: (*lurks to play Zelda* Sorry guys.)
PapatymisonN: By the way, you and I were the only ones talking sense in there...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Presumably off! Looking for her fanclub.*
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I couldn't care less about civilian casualties. I just want to get things done.
Lithaladhwen: Citizens of this country and its neighbors are not my concern. Not their safety, at least.
PapatymisonN: Blow 'em all to hell, and let Reshtaha sort 'em out?
Lithaladhwen: *hard little grin*
Lithaladhwen: It's his job, not mine.
Lithaladhwen: *grins wider*
PapatymisonN: Exactly.
Arch mage144: (Back.)
PapatymisonN: Even IF I don't see us not getting in trouble for mass murder...
Lithaladhwen: Murder is a scary word for an everyday event.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
CGNakibe: *Ends up somehow back in the cafeteria*
Lithaladhwen: The real issue is that we have a problem and we have people who aren't willing to solve it.
Arch mage144: Cecil: *is in the cafeteria, eating a sandwich*
CGNakibe: Hey Cecil!
Lithaladhwen: *Hel and Oxblood are in the lounge!*
Arch mage144: *at another table is Gamma Unit, talking about...something*
Lithaladhwen: (In the lounge, with an axe.)
Arch mage144: C: Huh? What's up, Serran?
PapatymisonN: It's not the orcish way to wait to solve something...
CGNakibe: IM: Lets see... Tracker 1? Naah. Too obvious. Don't wanna make this any worse than it already is...
CGNakibe: Not lots. What're they serving today, huh?
AngryMechaFan: So what exactly did you add? I doubt that those have something to do with the FCS upgrade I asked about...
Lithaladhwen: There's an Orcish way to solve problems?
CGNakibe: (Sure, it involves an axe)
AngryMechaFan: (It's called being so stinky everyone dies from suffocation!)
PapatymisonN: Directly.
PapatymisonN: Usually with bloody violence.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Will eventually burst into the cafeteria. What better place for a fanclub?*
PapatymisonN: "Hey, you stole my pot."
PapatymisonN: *SLAPS his hand to his fist*
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. Well, I'm a necromancer. Everything I do involves dead bodies. Can't say I really find them a daunting prospect.
PapatymisonN: Axe to the skull.
AngryMechaFan: *is talking to a techie, of course*
Arch mage144: C: The usual stuff, really, though someone mentioned that the stir fry was good today.
PapatymisonN: Just empty husks, that's all.
PapatymisonN: Humans find them too gross.
PapatymisonN: Wimps.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Where's my fan club?
Arch mage144: Technician: Errr...all you wanted us to do was adjust the dischargers, wasn't it?
AngryMechaFan: Dischargers?
CGNakibe: Stir fry, eh? That's good stuff.
Arch mage144: Tech: Yeah, the flare launcher.
Arch mage144: C: I heard so. But I honestly don't like it much. I can't say I'm fond of broccoli, for starters.
AngryMechaFan: Yeah...but what the hell happened with the forearms and feet?
Lithaladhwen: Humans are disturbed by putting themselves in other people's shoes too often.
Arch mage144: Tech: Don't look at me, I didn't do it.
Lithaladhwen: They wouldn't like to be killed for someone else's cause, so they assume it's preventable.
Arch mage144: Tech: Ask someone else.
CGNakibe: Heh.
AngryMechaFan: Right.
pd Rydia has left the room.
CGNakibe: Don't mind the stuff myself.
PapatymisonN: Yeah. We all die.
PapatymisonN: Some of us messily.
AngryMechaFan: *looks around, and to another techie* ...I hope you could explain the alterations?
Arch mage144: T2: *headshaking*
CGNakibe: *after getting a tray, starts writing down stuff*
Arch mage144: C: Working on something?
PapatymisonN: Might as well not be afraid of something that will happen sooner or later...
CGNakibe: Might say that, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* Most people don't realize that until it's too late.
AngryMechaFan: Right...maybe the HUD will tell me something *goes to turn on the mecha!*
PapatymisonN: That being said, I want to die on a bed of my enemies skulls, my beard touching my toes.
Arch mage144: *Scelestus' HUD comes up...*
PapatymisonN: +grey
Lithaladhwen: ...Great. Well, I can't predict that kind of thing.
AngryMechaFan: A-RF, check. N-SC, check...wait...
AngryMechaFan: ...what the hell is this P-SH deal?
Arch mage144: C: Care to tell me what it is?
Lithaladhwen: A reaper could tell, but she'd never say anything to you if she knew.
CGNakibe: *looks like gibberish to some! Unless you read code* Just a few lines of code I'm gonna need later.
CGNakibe: That and some ideas. Gonna need em.
Arch mage144: *According to the HUD, the last login of the mecha was by Zeiren, yesterday*
PapatymisonN: You must know one. I mean, you're a big Reaper fangirl, right?
Arch mage144: *Thumbprint ID confirms it*
AngryMechaFan: *Yesterday being the fight?*
Lithaladhwen: I... uh. What?
Arch mage144: *Zeiren may note that at the time listed he was at SentanCorp*
AngryMechaFan: ...
Lithaladhwen: Reapers have fangirls?
PapatymisonN: I mean, you have the scythe, and you're a necromancer and everything...
PapatymisonN: I just figured.
AngryMechaFan: ...What...the...hell.
Lithaladhwen: I'm familiar with... the trade. But I don't do that kind of thing at this point. All evidence suggests I'm mortal just like you are.
AngryMechaFan: I was OUT at that time.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Because those sick bastards in technology development just had to make me identical to a human.
Arch mage144: C: Yeah, okay.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Damned body.
PapatymisonN: ("Why did they make this gigai with the same abilities as a human? >.<")
AngryMechaFan: *is it possible to access info from last login?*
CGNakibe: (Poor Rukia... err... Helena...)
Arch mage144: C: *eats* What the hell are we going to do about this, seriously? If we wait around too long, they're just going to destroy more stuff.
Arch mage144: *Yes.*
CGNakibe: (Charles? OUT.)
AngryMechaFan: *Does so!*
Lithaladhwen: (Yes. Shaun and Charles know the joke.)
PapatymisonN: (I win, for I used a quote.)
Arch mage144: *What info is he looking for?*
CGNakibe: I think we're going to be getting some new motivation soon.
Lithaladhwen: (Helena hates her gigai. She feels stuck in it, and she doesn't like that.)
CGNakibe: *nod nod*
AngryMechaFan: *enters password* You shall be as gods...
Arch mage144: C: Huh?
CGNakibe: ^_____^
Lithaladhwen: (But at least it isn't leeching her reiatsu.)
Arch mage144: C: I don't get it. o_o
CGNakibe: Don't worry 'bout it.
AngryMechaFan: *Anything related to modifications, additions, removals, cyberplane dives, or otherwise*
PapatymisonN: Well, yeah... just saying... you look like you want to go take souls to the afterlife.
Lithaladhwen: They belong there.
Lithaladhwen: Eventually, that is the ideal place for them. Not inside machines.
Arch mage144: *Last system login: Zeiren, primary pilot, at [specified time/date]. Synchronized with new armor plating and adjusted body frame specifications.*
PapatymisonN: Unless they're inside a body, and piloting it.
Arch mage144: *Method of access: Thumbprint ID recognition.*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. After that, certain procedures need to be followed.
Arch mage144: C: .....
CGNakibe: Sorry. I'll tell you later.
AngryMechaFan: *accessing updates on adjusted body frame specifications*
Arch mage144: C: How can I not worry about this? It's a mess! People are dying, and worse, the souls of the dead are being abused...*shakes his head* Okay, tell me later.
CGNakibe: Right now, I have to plan. And think.
PapatymisonN: Of course.
Arch mage144: C: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: I take issue when they're circumvented or hindered in any way, you see. It's my main problem with this situation.
CGNakibe: You're right.
CGNakibe: And to be honest?
Lithaladhwen: I don't really care who Sentancorp kills. I care what happens after that.
CGNakibe: I think Helena's probably right too.
Arch mage144: *Information regarding the adjustments noticed by Zeiren is provided. According to records, they were made by him.*
CGNakibe: The place should be bombed.
AngryMechaFan: "Field Ignition System"?
Arch mage144: C: She might be...
AngryMechaFan: ...
PapatymisonN: Which means they need to get blown to hell, so that "after that" isn't forced servitude, right?
AngryMechaFan: How come I get the feeling that Ayr's got something to do with this...
Arch mage144: C: Whatever. I guess I'm going to my room to unwind. The alternative is to sit here and be strung out.
CGNakibe: But eh. I know why we shouldn't do it. Even if I don't LIKE it.
Lithaladhwen: Precisely.
AngryMechaFan: *exits*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I really wish I knew where my fanclub was meeting. ._.
Lithaladhwen: (In Gendou's basement. With Makura's sister. She's the treasurer.)
AngryMechaFan: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (They have huge fishtanks full of empty Tareens.)
CGNakibe: (hahaha)
AngryMechaFan: (Hah!)
Arch mage144: (Whenever you guys want, we can fast-forward to 2100; if Serran wants to do something in the interim you should say so.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel will do nothing important today until then.)
CGNakibe: (Not really thinking of much else for Serran to do right now other than plot and scheme.)
PapatymisonN: (Other than talk to a slightly suspicious Oxblood.)
CGNakibe: Oh, and Cecil?
AngryMechaFan: (Zeiren is likely going to be hitting on girls with his newfound bishounen-ness)
Lithaladhwen: (Suspicious about what? She's the only one who agrees with him!)
AngryMechaFan: (Err, extra rank of Sex Appeal)
Arch mage144: (Roll Sex Appeal.)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 1 3
Lithaladhwen: (Nice.)
Arch mage144: (What's your rank?)
AngryMechaFan: (7! Out of 11!)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 1
PapatymisonN: (He's wondering what she is. Cuz he remembers her mysterious entrance.)
Arch mage144: *Zeiren gets 1x make-out session*
Lithaladhwen: (Well, she hasn't lied to him about anything so far. So hurrah!)
Lithaladhwen: (YAY ZEIREN)
Lithaladhwen: (REJOICE)
AngryMechaFan: *No sex, but...heh. XP*
Arch mage144: *Meanwhile, other members of Delta Unit are up to something a bit more pressing...*
CGNakibe: Do me a favor and tell the commander that I'll have to get back to him later. Got an important call.
Arch mage144: *It's nearly 2100.*
PapatymisonN: Oh. Time to go.
Lithaladhwen: ...'kay.
Arch mage144: (Go where?)
Lithaladhwen: (Do other people know about this turbosecret chat meeting?)
CGNakibe: *looks at watch* Time to go it is.
PapatymisonN: (Oh. I was WONDERING... I thought I just missed a mission briefing time...)
Arch mage144: (Unless Serran has the world's loudest cellphone, I don't think he told anyone else about the message, unless you decided he did in interim.)
CGNakibe: *walks calmly towards his room.* IM: At best this should be informative...
CGNakibe: IM: Don't wanna think about "worst"
TheWaiChibiAngel: (And if he does, coincidentally, have the world's loudest cellphone?)
Arch mage144: (Then someone else might've heard, but I don't think he does.)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 5 2
CGNakibe: (If he did no doubt it'd be playing something annoying)
CGNakibe: (The Thong Song, maybe?)
Arch mage144: (Serran fails his "have the world's loudest cellphone" check)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (that's an awesome check)
Lithaladhwen: (Baby when the beat go.... baby make your booty goooooooo...)
Arch mage144: *When Serran gets to his desk, the holo-screen is beeping quietly at him*
CGNakibe: *logs in... Password "Ye Not Guilty"*
Arch mage144: *Login successful. One ChatNet connect request pending. Connect?*
CGNakibe: Ah, Good. *connects*
Arch mage144: *A holographic avatar of Makura pops up on the screen*
Arch mage144: You're two minutes late.
CGNakibe: Hey. They were serving stir fry, and I just had to get some.
CGNakibe: So what's up?
Arch mage144: *letters on the display bubble into existence* I'm switching to text-only mode.
Lithaladhwen: (I sprayed my screen.)
Lithaladhwen: (Why can't we just use sound-only mode, though?)
Lithaladhwen: (Isn't that just as secure?)
AngryMechaFan: (SOME GUY--SOUND ONLY: OLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOOOOOOOO!!!)
CGNakibe: *taptaptap* So, enjoying your vacation with the folks? Any sandy beaches? Warm sun?
Lithaladhwen: (Stop it! Who is that?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Not if you don't want someone to hear what you're saying.)
Arch mage144: This isn't my computer. I'm using a terminal at SentanCorp. I have relatively little time.
CGNakibe: So what's the business.
Arch mage144: My father is clearly insane.
Arch mage144: He has lost sight of the ideals of our ancestors. *avatar shakes head disapprovingly*
CGNakibe: Saw him downstairs talking to your sis.
Arch mage144: More importantly as far as you happen to be concerned, I managed to find out where the next attack is going to be.
PapatymisonN: (*looks at Kage Sentan* If he's insane, he REGAINED his ancestor's ideals. <.&lt;-)
Arch mage144: (Kage was a freedom fighter, man.)
A Rockin SN: (>_>-)
Arch mage144: (Just ruthless about it.)
CGNakibe: Where?
PapatymisonN: (Right. My bad.)
Arch mage144: Northern forest. *geographic coordinates* Too far north for a quick response from MAC Igala D. But if you go now, preemptively, you might be able to do something.
Arch mage144: It's a CFIN supply outpost.
CGNakibe: Any other info? You alright otherwise?
Arch mage144: Nothing. And for now.
Arch mage144: I can handle myself.
CGNakibe: IM: Knowing that I'd probably not care if he was sitting on a bed of spikes otherwise...
CGNakibe: I'd hope so.
CGNakibe: Well, if there's nothign else, I've gotta disturb people's sleep.
Arch mage144: *avatar headshake again* Now is not the time to worry about me. Get to the outpost. According to what I overheard, they plan to attack several hours before sunrise.
CGNakibe: On it. Call again soon.
Arch mage144: I intend to try. I believe my older brother Benten is...still trustworthy.
Arch mage144: Anything I can find out, I intend to relay.
Arch mage144: Private Kuragari out. *avatar winks out of existence*
PapatymisonN: (... Makura doesn't have a cousin named Gwenten and an uncle named Maxten, does he?)
Arch mage144: (No.)
CGNakibe: *picks up the phone, and dials the Commander*
Arch mage144: (I have no idea where that came from.)
PapatymisonN: (*gives Benten the Omnitrix*)
CGNakibe: (Its a lame joke, Charles. >:{)
PapatymisonN: (Not THAT lame...)
CGNakibe: (LAME)
Arch mage144: *ring...ring...pickup*
Arch mage144: G: Officer Herzog.
CGNakibe: Sorry to disturb you, sir. This is Cadet Serran Dien.
Arch mage144: G: Understood. What is it?
AngryMechaFan: (*Izumi holds up a sign saying "0.5"*)
Lithaladhwen: (The Sorrow holds up a sign saying: "28:6:12:48")
CGNakibe: I've just gotten contact from our man on the inside... Apparently he thinks that there's going to be an attack coming from the supply outpost at *insert coordinates here*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Fucking Sorrow)
AngryMechaFan: (...when Izumi disses your joke, you KNOW you suck)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That fight was crazy.)
Arch mage144: G: Really, now. Interesting.
Arch mage144: (I wouldn't call it a Fight so much...)
Lithaladhwen: (I love the Sorrow. He's my favorite freak in the whole brotherhood of evil mutants.)
A Rockin SN: (Yeah, you don't exactly fight the Sorrow)
CGNakibe: According to him, they should be attacking sometime near sunrise.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (The worst is if you shoot someone with the machine gun after they're dead.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (They're like a leaky piece of meat in that scene.)
A Rockin SN: (Never seen it)
Arch mage144: G: Alright. If you think his information is good, I'll notify the higher-ups. Right now I want Delta Unit deployed to those coordinates. I have no intent to wait for permission to deploy my own men.
A Rockin SN: (As in, never done it)
Arch mage144: (My first playthrough I got a lot of "MY NECK" screaming for reasons that should be obvious)
CGNakibe: It should be good, sir.
Arch mage144: (Second time there were all of four ghosts, plus the bosses =P )
CGNakibe: (What game am I missing? ;_; )
Arch mage144: (MGS3. Anyway.)
CGNakibe: (AH)
AngryMechaFan: (T_T I want plot or guessing powers. :-( )
Lithaladhwen: (Polly want yer momma's sweet ass.)
Arch mage144: G: Right. In any case...
CGNakibe: (Serran: *turns into a ninja. SCREWS WITH YOUR CONTROLLER*)
Arch mage144: b
Arch mage144: (Ignore that)
Arch mage144: Base intercom: ATTENTION DELTA UNIT. ALL PERSONNEL REPORT TO THE HANGAR FOR IMMEDIATE DEPLOYMENT.
AngryMechaFan: O_o;
CGNakibe: Ah, music to my ears.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh SNAP!
CGNakibe: *gets up his flight suit and gear*
PapatymisonN: *wake!*
AngryMechaFan: *likewise, suited up, in hangar!*
PapatymisonN: Urrrgh...
Lithaladhwen: *wasn't asleep at nine pm...*
CGNakibe: *Is at the hangar*
Lithaladhwen: *so, yeah... is not bothered in the least*
PapatymisonN: (OH. Woops.)
PapatymisonN: (Damn military time...)
Arch mage144: (Oxblood was getting his futile beauty sleep)
CGNakibe: (Geese: Its USELESS)
Lithaladhwen: (My clocks are on military time, so it's kind of automatic.)
PapatymisonN: (scratch!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Headed for the hanger, getting herself ready*
PapatymisonN: *can it be said she and Oxy were still talking?*
Arch mage144: Cecil: *is in the hangar, armored and equipped--aside from his medical supplies, he's carrying a huge blaster rifle*
AngryMechaFan: *would have his hair rather messed-up looking if he weren't wearing his helmet*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah, sure.*
PapatymisonN: Oh. Time to go, I guess...
Lithaladhwen: *She was suitably deceptive, inveigling, and obfuscating.*
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* Yeah, finally. *uncurls from the comfy chair she could have spent an eternity in...*
CGNakibe: *yaaaaawn*
PapatymisonN: I'm so hitting the weapons locker for this one... no tiny-ass pistols for ME...
CGNakibe: What took you guys so long? *smug? NOPE :D!*
CGNakibe: Well... more like you, Cecil.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I just need my staff and the armor that apparently serves to keep me alive.
Arch mage144: In-suit radio: *image of CO Herzog* Delta Unit, there're no ready dropships for this deployment. You're just going to have to go on foot. The specified location is only a few hours away.
CGNakibe: Surprised you're here already.
Lithaladhwen: *grabs her staff/scythe form her room and totally is happy to go to the ready room*
Arch mage144: (Oxblood might note that there is not room in the cockpit for heavy personal weaponry.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh. In that case.
PapatymisonN: (Dang. What's the biggest thing that can fit in there semi-comfortably?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey! SOMEONE CARRY ME.
Lithaladhwen: You have that jet stuff, Tareen.
Arch mage144: (There's a reason pilots in mecha tend to travel with a pistol or less.)
Lithaladhwen: I can probably take an extra person on my bike, but... I can't transport everyone.
Arch mage144: (Hand weapons are about it.)
AngryMechaFan: Roger, commander.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Yeah, but I don't wanna waste it.
PapatymisonN: (Twin uzi-equivalents?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: And see? Those things are huge.
Arch mage144: (Sure.)
Lithaladhwen: All right. You can ride with me, then.
Lithaladhwen: (Zeiren should be proud. Two chicks on a bike!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: You probably shouldn't waste yours either, though.
Arch mage144: C: She has a motorcycle. o_o
Lithaladhwen: It's a motorcycle. What the hell else am I going to use it for?
PapatymisonN: (Thankee. I know it won't affect gameplay, but it's his pride, dangit.)
Lithaladhwen: If I can't ride it for my own convenience, it's a useless invention.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Cycling motors.
Arch mage144: C: Alternately, I can get a hoverjeep.
PapatymisonN: *climbing his mech!*
Arch mage144: C: Though you should probably take your motorcycle, Helena, if you want it. I can transport Tareen and myself.
AngryMechaFan: *mecha startup!*
CGNakibe: (Oxblood = OCFS? >.>)
Lithaladhwen: Sure. Whatever works.
AngryMechaFan: Initializing Cyberplane Dive
Arch mage144: C: *runs off to go bug some engineer about borrowing a car*
AngryMechaFan: N: ...it's about TIME you got here. Some bastard decided to fuck with me yesterday, you know!
Arch mage144: C: *comes back in about five minutes...in a flashy silver hoverjeep*
PapatymisonN: *hops in the cockpit, starts flipping switches* OK, you energy-laced walking box of crazy, don't let me down...
Arch mage144: C: *honks the horn at Tareen*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Woo!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Runs over*
CGNakibe has left the room.
Arch mage144: *the passenger side hatch flies open...the vehicle looks a lot like the DeLorean from back to the future, only bigger, and with a gun turret mounted on the top, and it seats six*
Lithaladhwen: Cecil, I'm just going to follow you, all right?
AngryMechaFan: Z: ...Yeah, I know. They used some sort of thumbprint replication. I'm going to tighten up security on this ASAP.
PapatymisonN: (So... the DeLorean they used for the BTTF Ride... cool...)
AngryMechaFan: N: Whatever. Just KEEP THEM FROM FUCKING WITH ME LIKE THAT
Arch mage144: C: Works for me. I should be able to get there no problem. This thing has a great navigation system, so just follow me.
AngryMechaFan: Z: ...If you were a real girl, I'd ask if it was that time of the month...o.o;
AngryMechaFan: N: FUCK YOU.
PapatymisonN: *starts heading for the coordinates in question...*
AngryMechaFan: *Obviously heading there*
Arch mage144: *Jeep speaker: OnGaera navigation system activated! Where do you want to go today?
Arch mage144: *
AngryMechaFan: *While boost-jumping when possible, even!*
Arch mage144: (Also, Shaun needs to get back into chat before I continue)
Arch mage144: (Must've gotten DC'd)
PapatymisonN: IM: Dammit. No dropship? This is going to take FOREVER...
CGNakibe has entered the room.
A Rockin SN: (Zeiren's mech is clearly leaking oil)
PapatymisonN: *goin' at a whoppin' 37 MPH*
CGNakibe: (That was... odd...)
Lithaladhwen: (What was it?)
AngryMechaFan: (Hey, Cha. He using the Sturmpanzer-II?)
CGNakibe: (Connection just cut out.)
Arch mage144: (I figured)
CGNakibe: (Network's fine.)
AngryMechaFan: (Out of curiosity)
PapatymisonN: (My sheet says SturmpanzerO.)
Arch mage144: (Is that its blood type or something?)
AngryMechaFan: (Eh. That's just to designate the owner. Sturmpanzer's a sort of generic-type)
AngryMechaFan: (Low-cost heavy of sorts)
Arch mage144: (OK, anyway)
Arch mage144: *Cecil tunes the radio to a "classic rock" station--current track is Escalator to Celestia by Titanium Dirigible*
Lithaladhwen: (AAAAH)
PapatymisonN: (ROCK!)
CGNakibe: (Hahaha)
Lithaladhwen: (The references have got to bloody stop.)
Lithaladhwen: (This is too much for me.)
Arch mage144: (This is MAC, it will NEVER HAPPEN)
PapatymisonN: (This just makes me want to lay it on thicker.)
Arch mage144: (BRB beverage requirement, you can talk to each other now.)
AngryMechaFan: N: Jeez... I have to WALK all the way? Superior transportation everywhere and I'm left to WALK
PapatymisonN: *turns on the radio, and it's 88 Issues, by Aye-Y*
A Rockin SN: (My favorite band is Pistols and Margheritas.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hate to tell her, but she is superior transportation.)
AngryMechaFan: Z: Red-alert mission, Nanashii, not really any time for a dropship...
Lithaladhwen: *Hel flips on some kind of violin concerto so that Tareen won't talk to her*
CGNakibe: *Puts on something by The Children called "The Kids Aren't Okay."*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: This song sucks~!
Arch mage144: *looks over at Tareen* It does not! It's a classic!
AngryMechaFan: *No music here! The original designer did not include a standard car radio or CD player*
Arch mage144: Don't you know the rules? The driver picks the radio station.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Maybe this way I won't get messages over the com about pudding.
PapatymisonN: Man... how this guy got Advanc'e is beyond me...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm older than the driver!
Arch mage144: You aren't driving!
TheWaiChibiAngel: BUt I'm older!
Arch mage144: That's not the rule!
PapatymisonN: ("If you don't shut the hell up, I'll turn this future-Jeep RIGHT around!")
AngryMechaFan: (Is Zeiren entitled a Tactics roll at any time?)
Arch mage144: (Uh, sure, if you tell me what he's doing it for)
AngryMechaFan: (Examples of what you can use it for, out of stupid curiosity?)
AngryMechaFan: (I know it's for small-scale stuff, but...)
Arch mage144: (This is the ability to outguess the enemy when the fight is man-to-man or in small groups.)
Arch mage144: (It is usually taught only by the military. A successful tactics roll during a battle wil sometimes (GM's discretion) allow you information about immediate enemy plans.)
Arch mage144: (You are not fighting anyone at the moment, nor do you know the layout of the battleground...yet.)
Arch mage144: (Presently you are charging at relatively top speed through a forest. It is quite likely that any combat around here will involve trees as obstacles.)
AngryMechaFan: C: Listen up. From what I've gathered, the things we've encountered last time seem to prefer using their beam guns first.
AngryMechaFan: They switch to missiles if they seem to find something too difficult to hurt with the guns.
Arch mage144: (Too close for missiles...I'm switching to guns.)
Arch mage144: C: I'm listening.
Arch mage144: C: And don't forget what Tareen said earlier, the knee actuators are a weak point.
Lithaladhwen: C: So they'll go after you with beam guns, and me with missiles?
CGNakibe: C: Roger that.
Arch mage144: C: At least we have some idea of what the typical enemy fighting method is like now.
AngryMechaFan: C: They started using missiles after I found Scelestus too hard to damage with their beam guns. This is how I determined that.
AngryMechaFan: C: I'd advise to stay in close range with those.
Arch mage144: C: I'm probably going to stay out of the way. I have a feeling the medical unit is going to need me.
Arch mage144: C: I would use the hoverjeep, but I'm not quite that skilled a driver. *laughs*
AngryMechaFan: The particle cannons hurt, but they're not as hard to miss with as the missiles.
AngryMechaFan: (Assume that's C)
AngryMechaFan: N: Fuck them AND their missiles!
Arch mage144: (I assumed he wouldn't be talking to himself in the cockpit.)
CGNakibe: C: Hopefully got some luck today.. e.e
AngryMechaFan: (Eh. Just make it plain for comm, I guess)
AngryMechaFan: *does he remember anything about their melee capabilities?*
Arch mage144: *the group can see the supply installation now...*
Arch mage144: (The enemy mecha? They've got big vibroclaws. Beyond that, no.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh! And remember not to beat them up too bad.
AngryMechaFan: *What's the area look like as of the moment?*
Arch mage144: (Cripes, BRB again--then I'll tell you)
AngryMechaFan: ...We already captured one, Tareen
CGNakibe: C: Thanks to Tareen.
AngryMechaFan: Unless you decided to make a blender out of it or something, I don't think we need another
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Charles. Hold on.)
AngryMechaFan: Find any new models, I'd advise to treat them with extreme prejudice, and try to eliminate them as fast as possible.
AngryMechaFan: And try to keep one intact
CGNakibe: C: Nuke first, don't ask questions. Yeah, I think I can handle that.
Lithaladhwen: (Charles isn't in the room, whatever the list says. So I request we hold on.)
Lithaladhwen: (By which I mean pause.)
AngryMechaFan: (Right. Urination break)
UltimateKoD has entered the room.
Lithaladhwen: (I am a damn genius.)
UltimateKoD: (Nice! Alternate aliases invite now!)
Lithaladhwen: (Behold! My amazing brain!)
CGNakibe: (*Stabs Cha in re-greeting*)
Lithaladhwen: (Mind the size of a planet and this is what I'm doing with it.)
UltimateKoD: (*makes sandwiches for an entire planet*)
AngryMechaFan: (Back)
Arch mage144: *Okay, so the layout*
AngryMechaFan: These things dodge like A2s, so treat them as such. Focus as much firepower on a single one at a time as you can.
Arch mage144: *According to both visual and radar, the base is just a bit farther north--aside from what's absolutely necessary for construction, the trees have not been cleared*
Arch mage144: *to the east, the elevation rises gradually until it forms a large mesa surrounded by the forest*
AngryMechaFan: Switching to thermographics.
AngryMechaFan: *Activates yon deceptive jammer, or somesuch*
Arch mage144: *You can't see shit, unless we want to discuss all the little animals moving around in the forest--they're giving off a lot of very entertaining heat signatures*
AngryMechaFan: *switches back to nightvision*
Arch mage144: *The base, which is maybe 15 minutes away at this point, has some kind of forcefield around it*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Z: Oh god what are those rabbits doing?!)
UltimateKoD: C: They stole your idea, Tareen.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost your font, Charles.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Those BASTARDS!
Arch mage144: (Deceptive jammer? You're jamming radio and sensors?)
Arch mage144: (Er, radar)
AngryMechaFan: (Yeah)
PapatymisonN has left the room.
Arch mage144: (Gotcha.)
UltimateKoD: (Thanks.)
Arch mage144: (Oh. OK. That was your other SN timing out. Right.)
UltimateKoD: (And FINALLY.)
CGNakibe: *activates his Dual Stealth mods, yaes*
Lithaladhwen: Ordinarily I'd be more worried about keeping a low profile, but even if I hide myself, you're all in big robots.
Arch mage144: *the group pulls into just outside the base...it's just after midnight.*
Lithaladhwen: So I don't know how much good it'll do me to be low-profile.
AngryMechaFan: Right...looks like we've got a sort of high ground to the east. Stinky, Sneaky, either of you have suitable long-range weapons?
Arch mage144: *The trees here are pretty big and actually provide cover--only the tallest mecha poke out above the tops*
AngryMechaFan: Just in case they drop anything off there to try and snipe us with, or to snipe in turn.
UltimateKoD: Pair of particle cannons. Max range 7500.
Arch mage144: *The base itself has not attempted to communicate with you yet.*
Arch mage144: C: Field Medic Cecil Elmine, requesting IFF identification at your leisure, communications. Open a channel. We've been sent from Main MAC Igala D. Please respond.
AngryMechaFan: Right. You stay down here.
Arch mage144: *radio squawking noises, followed by the appearance of a rough-looking man with a moustache and military beret*
CGNakibe: Are the lights even on? *NOT over the comm*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Man, look at that stache.
CGNakibe: (Creepy Stache!)
Arch mage144: Man: What? What do you guys want? It's not even daytime yet. Why were you sent here?
AngryMechaFan: (IT'S NOSEHAIR!)
CGNakibe: (At least he isn't one of those guys with the weird eyebrows)
Lithaladhwen: (Could be worse. Could be EYEBROW).
Lithaladhwen: (Damn it!)
AngryMechaFan: (Dude. Shaun. Read the Disgaea manga? XP)
Lithaladhwen: (Fuck you, Shaun. Fuck you and FLCL.)
CGNakibe: (VICTOLY~!)
Arch mage144: (Helena: ...you've got weird eyebrows, lieutenant.)
CGNakibe: (FLCL, Doug.)
AngryMechaFan: (Right)
CGNakibe: (Which were, so you know, actually photocopied Kelp!)
Lithaladhwen: (Brian: I love you. ^_^ )
Arch mage144: Man: I asked you a question. I want to know what you're doing here at this hour. And on foot?
Arch mage144: C: Didn't you get anything from the base regarding our arrival?
Arch mage144: M: That's a negative. No incoming transmissions since about 1800.
AngryMechaFan: C: There are Ghost Armors approaching this location.
Lithaladhwen: We have information that you're at risk of attack. So we're here to keep you from getting plowed into and destroyed. That a problem?
CGNakibe: Comm: You should've gotten something from our commander. I mean, all we know is that we were supposed to come over this way for night excersizes. Gotta keep the skills in shape.
CGNakibe: (Scratch~!)
CGNakibe: (My poor poor BS ;_; )
Lithaladhwen: (Poor BS.)
Arch mage144: M: What? Enemy armor attacking here?
CGNakibe: IM: D'OH. >.<
AngryMechaFan: Affirmative. More of those Ghost Armors.
CGNakibe: IM: Ah, well. Not the worst thing ever.
Arch mage144: M: This location is practically top-secret. How would they know to strike this depot?
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. But they are. So be aware that we're here and, uh... don't panic.
AngryMechaFan: If we had more information, we'd tell you.
CGNakibe: C: Panic would be very bad at this point.
UltimateKoD: (In big, comforting yellow letters.)
AngryMechaFan: (Damn. Beat me to it)
Arch mage144: M: Alright, well. You ID friendly. Dropping the force shield to allow entry to the compound.
AngryMechaFan: C: All pilots, remain in your Armors.
Arch mage144: C: That's my cue. Tareen, you should get out here so you can be with the others. I'm going to go park in the hangar and join the med team.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Okie dokie!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Jumps out*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: I'm so confused.
Arch mage144: C: *drives off, honking the horn enthusiastically*
Arch mage144: M: If you're anticipating an ambush, I'll have someone send out a few friendly armors so you can form a perimeter.
AngryMechaFan: C: Good idea.
Arch mage144: M: Give us 30 minutes and you'll have all the backup you need, unless they've sent the whole damned legion at us.
CGNakibe: C: With luck we won't have to go through that.
CGNakibe: IM: As long as our asshole on the inside doesn't go and get himself stabbed or anything.
Arch mage144: *as promised, the depot deploys some allies, half a dozen standard mecha units*
Arch mage144: *the static defenses spring to life as turrets are manned in preparation for a potential attack*
AngryMechaFan: *Zeiren gives the new pilots the same general briefing!*
UltimateKoD: Ooh.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This just feels wrong. Too easy or something.
UltimateKoD: Fun.
Lithaladhwen: IM: "Oh, hey. There'll be an ambush. Go be ready and kick their asses when they come."
Arch mage144: M: What the hell is going on here? We can't get ahold of Igala D.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: I'm really really confused.
CGNakibe: C: ... Crap.
AngryMechaFan: C: They're here!
Arch mage144: M: Is someone operating long-range jamming?
AngryMechaFan: C: The Ghost Armors have jamming
Arch mage144: (Aren't you running your jammer?)
CGNakibe: C: None of us are operating jamming, are we? o.o
AngryMechaFan: (It's not transmission)
Arch mage144: (Ah, that's right, it's sensor/radar.)
Arch mage144: M: If they're here, where are they?
Arch mage144: M: Wait, what?
CGNakibe: C: Had to ask.
Arch mage144: M: What the hell? *clearly arguing with someone in the background* What do you mean, it won't turn on?
AngryMechaFan: C: ...Nevermind. o.o;
CGNakibe: (Main Screen Turn on!)
Lithaladhwen: (We get signal.)
AngryMechaFan: N: ...you've GOT to be kidding me!
Lithaladhwen: (Makura's sister: How are you gentlemen?)
Lithaladhwen: (All your soul are belong to us.)
UltimateKoD: (Oxblood: What you say?)
Arch mage144: M: Shit! Our sheld generator is malfunctioning! We can't get the force field back up!?
AngryMechaFan: ...
CGNakibe: ... Fucking. Hell.
AngryMechaFan: *checks his own shield status*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
Arch mage144: M: And you can't get a fix on the location of the jamming field!? What the bloody hell is going on here!?
CGNakibe: C: We have visitors!
Lithaladhwen: Well, this is cute.
AngryMechaFan: C: Visitors, indeed
CGNakibe: C: Someone please prepare for our lovely guests.
UltimateKoD: ...
UltimateKoD: C: This won't end well.
CGNakibe: C: So make it. e.e
AngryMechaFan: *are the friendlies armed with anything notable?*
Arch mage144: *suddenly, a barrage of energy lights up the sky to the north, and some long-range particle blasts impact one of the compound's sentry towers, blasting it to slag*
Arch mage144: (Yeah, mecha.)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Too easy. Knew it. Why can't it be the old days when we all just stabbed each other in the face?
Arch mage144: Female voice: So, we meet again, Delta Unit.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Right in the face.
AngryMechaFan: *Recognizable?*
UltimateKoD: C: Hey there, Makura's sister.
UltimateKoD: (Who else?)
CGNakibe: C: Um, can we help you?
Lithaladhwen: C: Hey there, kid. Haven't seen you in...oh, days.
AngryMechaFan: C: Why, hello there. Aren't you looking pretty today?
Arch mage144: Elsa Kuragari: *appears visually* Thank you, I'm flattered.
AngryMechaFan: ^.^
AngryMechaFan: *seems to have gotten into evasive position, regardless*
Arch mage144: EK: But I don't fraternize with the enemy. Not unless I'm getting more out of it than I believe you can provide.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Oh, hi!
UltimateKoD: *weapons are at the ready*
AngryMechaFan: *Shield status on the Scelestus, for the count?*
CGNakibe: *Time to search for targets!*
Lithaladhwen: C: *sighs* This is patently retarded.
AngryMechaFan: *And, yeah. searching for targets*
UltimateKoD: C: I know. Pre-fight banter is way too comic book-y.
AngryMechaFan: What a pity. You were quite beautiful, to boot. Were we on the same side, maybe it would've been different between us, no?
UltimateKoD: *scaaaaaaaaaaanning...*
AngryMechaFan: (XD)
Arch mage144: EK: No, I don't think so.
AngryMechaFan: Ah, so sad, so sad.
Arch mage144: (Shaun, make an electronics (sensors) roll.)
Lithaladhwen: C: Zeiren. Stop flirting with Makura's treacherous sister.
Lithaladhwen: C: She'll just break your heart.
AngryMechaFan: C: She already has, anyway.
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 2
Arch mage144: C: You underestimate me. You think that's all?
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 4 2
AngryMechaFan: C: Right now? no.
CGNakibe: (Gah. Can I default that to Computer Operation? o.o;; )
AngryMechaFan: (Hey. Am I allowed to make rolls too? o.o)
Arch mage144: (No, but you can default to another electronics operation skill...)
Arch mage144: (At -3.)
Arch mage144: (Yes, Nama. Roll sensors.)
Arch mage144: (In fact, anyone who wants to use AESA to try to figure out where Elsa is, roll sensors.)
CGNakibe: (Apparently I either don't have or forgot to get that skill. ;_; )
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 5 3
Arch mage144: (You can default at IQ-5 or to another electronics operation skill at -3.)
CGNakibe: (Well then. 10 vs 10.)
AngryMechaFan: (9 vs 12+(1 HUD bonus))
Arch mage144: (If you suceed, tell me how much by.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Is this the "witty banter' part?
Lithaladhwen: C: It's trying to be, Tareen.
CGNakibe: (Oh, yes, HUD bonus. So 10 < 11)
AngryMechaFan: (Helena: Unfortunately, it's more like Zeiren trying to get in her pants. e.e)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Oh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: *Idea!*
Lithaladhwen: (A valiant effort.)
Arch mage144: *Zeiren locates Elsa...she's up on top of the mesa, approximately a mile away*
Arch mage144: *there's another mecha up there, too...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Next time Elsa's on screen, she's going to try and get a real good look at her face*
AngryMechaFan: (Closed comm possible?)
AngryMechaFan: (I mean, what with advanced comsuite and all)
Arch mage144: (Yeah.)
Arch mage144: *Elsa's still onscreen--look away*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: She's got a funny nose.
Lithaladhwen: (The more you know. *rainbow*)
AngryMechaFan: C-Allies: Right then. Stinky, Sneaky, get up close to her and disable her and that other Armor there...
Lithaladhwen: C-allies: I may be able to make it close if I go through the undergrowth. Should I go with?
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Yes.
UltimateKoD: C-A: Fuck you, but alright...
Lithaladhwen: C-allies: 'kay.
Lithaladhwen: *Helena casts a spell on herself before going on ahead*
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 6 5
CGNakibe: (OW.)
UltimateKoD: *advances towards the twinmechs....*
Lithaladhwen: (Ouch. That's no good.)
UltimateKoD: *and will target the OTHER mech. On a hunch.*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: I'll try to cover from long-range. The rest of you, strengthen the perimeter! Be on the lookout!
Lithaladhwen: (16>15. Failure by one. Suxxors.)
Arch mage144: *You can't see either one of them visually at the time.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Looks like she didn't cast a spell; but ate a taco instead.)
Lithaladhwen: *curses quietly to herself* Been too long since I used this.
Arch mage144: *They've got altitude on you and your angle's wrong. The view is obscured by the mesa.*
AngryMechaFan: (Err, could I see it, or something? Or, uh, what?)
Lithaladhwen: Oh, screw it. I'm being followed by mecha. They'll see us eventually.
UltimateKoD: *not wanting to see them bad enough to make himself a target with the jump jets*
Arch mage144: (You picked them up on radar.)
AngryMechaFan: (Gotcha)
Lithaladhwen: *heads off in that direction on Ye Olde Motorcycle*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Does she see Helena moving?*
CGNakibe: *Stealth is active still, time to make some moves as best as a mecha can through woods*
Arch mage144: *Incidentally, the base is getting pounded--the turrets and other mecha are doing their best to deal with the situation to the north*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Perimeter guard, inform me if you've got anything attacking you up close!
AngryMechaFan: (Oh, wait. There's more up north?)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, she's on a motorcycle and moving pretty quickly, if nothing else you hear him.)
Arch mage144: (OK, let me explain the situation.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Will follow her, then!*
Arch mage144: (On the north side of the compound there are enemy units shooting at the turret emplacements and the buildings.)
Arch mage144: (To the east of the compound, about a mile out, is that mesa. Zeiren detected two mecha on top of it using active radar pinging.)
AngryMechaFan: (Gotcha)
Arch mage144: (You're not sure how many mecha are to the north yet. While you've been talking the NPCs have been dealing with it.)
Lithaladhwen: *Zea hangs back to make sure her mecha-riding fellows can keep up with her. No sense in alerting the enemy before the cavalry gets there.*
Arch mage144: (They don't appear to be losing at the time.)
Arch mage144: *OK, everyone moving toward the mesa, tell me how fast you move in mph*
UltimateKoD: (40.)
AngryMechaFan: (48)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Dunno!)
Lithaladhwen: (200 mph max, but will hang back with the frontmost mecha.)
AngryMechaFan: (Twice that with jumping)
AngryMechaFan: (But not jumping)
AngryMechaFan: (So 48)
AngryMechaFan: N: Jeez, you put a hell of a lot of effort into telling people what to do.
AngryMechaFan: (Max move here is 72, so...yeah.)
CGNakibe: (20 MPH, by the by)
CGNakibe: (Sorry, 40 MPH)
Arch mage144: *Okay--you all advance toward the mesa [mph/2]*10 yards in a single round, so Oxblood and Serran are 200 yards closer, Zeiren is 240, as is Helena*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (This is my "I don't know how fast I go" face.)
Arch mage144: *According to HUD, distance to the foot of the mesa is 1500 yards from where you were, so if you want to know how far you are away now, do your own math*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Troops, contact me if anything goes wrong, roger?
AngryMechaFan: (To the NPCs)
Lithaladhwen: (Shini: Hel's motorcycle stats are based on a jetpack's speed, so Tareen can go as fast as Hel.)
Arch mage144: (What's Tareen's base move? Your move in mph is that times 12.)
Lithaladhwen: (Ah, Brian knows the right thing and I do not, apparently.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (6.5, so..)
Arch mage144: (Round down. 72.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Right.)
Arch mage144: (So your move speed is 72 mph, which translates to 360 yards per turn)
AngryMechaFan: Z: I have been in general. Don't ask why.
AngryMechaFan: N: Damnit, why can't you do things the normal way?
AngryMechaFan: N: Particularly since I am deserving of all the respect here.
AngryMechaFan: Z: ...*sigh*
Arch mage144: *radar ping shows up on sensors from the top of the mesa*
Arch mage144: EK: Think you can just waltz over here without trouble? Guess again, you CFIN dogs!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *IF she has a moment, she's going to..Adjust herself to look like Elsa.*
Arch mage144: (Everyone give me your initiative number, it's equal to your base move [not rounded off]. If you have Tactics make a roll.)
Lithaladhwen: C: Oh, shut up. Nobody's listening to you.
AngryMechaFan: (Init 6)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 6 2
AngryMechaFan: (9 vs. 16)
UltimateKoD: (6.)
Arch mage144: *You look like Elsa, I'm ruling that's a free action.*
Arch mage144: (Your init is +1 for succeeding a tactics roll)
CGNakibe: (Init 6 also)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Six!)
Lithaladhwen: (5.)
Arch mage144: (All three of you who are tied, roll d6.)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
Arch mage144: (Reroll, Shaun)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CGNakibe: (VICTOLY~!)
Arch mage144: (Zeiren gets to move first. He is 1260 yards from the base of the mesa. The target's elevation is 100 yards.)
AngryMechaFan: *switching to nightvision, and moves diagonally toward the mesa*
AngryMechaFan: IM: I'll be blind for now...but they can't see me either.
Arch mage144: (Because I do not want to do the Pythagorean calculation every time, and it's almost the same because 100 << 1260, distance to target = x-axis range at the present time)
AngryMechaFan: *trying to pick up pings, if possible*
Lithaladhwen: (That thing you just typed, Brian?)
AngryMechaFan: (Right)
Lithaladhwen: (That's why I don't have a toaster.)
CGNakibe: (*Forces Brian to use his trigonometry. OHNOES*)
AngryMechaFan: (So I guess it's just 240 closer?)
Arch mage144: (Half that, because you're going diagonally)
AngryMechaFan: (Right. Good idea. XP)
Arch mage144: (1,130 yards to target.)
AngryMechaFan: *Now 1140 to!)
Arch mage144: (Oh, right. Math.)
Arch mage144: (Tareen.)
AngryMechaFan: *And, uh, picking up radar pings if possible*
Arch mage144: *I'll tell you*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Switching to passive. If anyone catches any differences on radar, tell me!
Arch mage144: *If Tareen wants to continue moving toward the target at cruising speed she can do so; whatever the hell else you want to do, tell me*
Arch mage144: *You don't have line of sight to the target, so aiming is impossible*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Moves at cruising speed!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Although, did she get herself looking the way she wants?*
Arch mage144: *Tareen closes to 780 yards to target*
Arch mage144: *Yes.*
Arch mage144: *The target is still above you, note, so to get up there you're going to have to engage jets when you get close enough if you want to get on top of the mesa.*
Arch mage144: (Serran.)
Lithaladhwen: C-Allies: Zeiren, tell me when they can reasonably detect us so I can stop caring about stealth, okay?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She'll go over the com, then!* C: Just so we're clear; my machine is second rate, and I pilot like a slice of toast.
CGNakibe: *Speeds up. 60 mph forward*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: They can pick up anyone pinging
Lithaladhwen: *chuckles* IM: Tareen.
Arch mage144: *Tareen, looking and sounding somewhat like Elsa, delivers the intended message to everyone in range*
CGNakibe: IM: Lets make this quick
UltimateKoD: C: ... huh?
CGNakibe: (300 yards forwards!)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: ...please say you remember that active radar can be traced to source.
Arch mage144: (200, unless you're using boosters for extra thrust
Arch mage144: )
CGNakibe: (200, sorry, yes.)
Arch mage144: *something approaches the edge of the mesa...you have visual confirmation of Elsa's mecha*
Arch mage144: *...it's not the same one she was piloting before.*
AngryMechaFan: *All of us do?*
Arch mage144: *The mech has the general shape of a black widow, except that the front rises up to form a humanoid torso, like a centaur, except with a spider's body instead of a horse's*
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Shit. Different model altogether!
Lithaladhwen: IM: Lolthite. Ugh.
A Rockin SN: (Drider mech!)
Lithaladhwen: IM: I hate Lolthites.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Visual confirmed, visual confirmed!
CGNakibe: (GAH)
CGNakibe: (CRAZY SPIDER LADY)
UltimateKoD: C-A: ... creepy.
AngryMechaFan: (It failed the test at sixth level!)
CGNakibe: (Indeed)
UltimateKoD: (Show yourself, Daruku!)
Lithaladhwen: (Hee!)
Arch mage144: Main Comm Station: Unidentified model! Must be a custom job...
AngryMechaFan: C-A: You've got that right
Arch mage144: EK: It's my own personal design, the PT11-DRIDER. You like it?
UltimateKoD: C-A: I will when it's in pieces.
AngryMechaFan: (...you had to add PT. PERSONAL TROOPER)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: ...switch back to normal if you want to talk to her
UltimateKoD: ...
UltimateKoD: *flick*
Lithaladhwen: C: I'm just glad you're a Lolthite. Lolth does freaky things to her followers when they die.
Arch mage144: (Oxblood.)
CGNakibe: (PT Cruiser? o.o)
UltimateKoD: C: I will when it's in pieces.
Arch mage144: (No, it stands for PROTOTYPE =P)
AngryMechaFan: (Personal Trooper!)
AngryMechaFan: (...me and my SRW references)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Lolth is insane. There are gods who are sane, and gods who are freaks. Lolth is a freak.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *C-A: Hey, lemme see that.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Right, Stinky. Rush in!
CGNakibe: C-A: Who died and made you team leader? >:P
UltimateKoD: C-A: What ELSE was I going to do, anyways?
AngryMechaFan: P-Comm-Ser: If he's got what I think he does, it can take more punishment than either of ours.
Arch mage144: (Oxblood closes 200 yards, 1100 to target)
Arch mage144: (Hel)
Lithaladhwen: *Full speed ahead! How long will it take her to close in?*
Arch mage144: (You're on a motorcycle. You can move 1,000 yards per turn. You are moving at 200 mph. So you are now 260 yards from the mesa.)
Arch mage144: (The mesa is too steep to climb with a motorcycle, however.)
Lithaladhwen: (She has made much travel.)
AngryMechaFan: (Dante, Zea is not.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Unless you tie E.T to the front.)
Lithaladhwen: (Maybe she will! Whatchoo think of that?!)
Arch mage144: *You hear some sort of...roar*
Arch mage144: *A large mecha becomes visible on top of the mesa...it's huge, at least 50 feet from head to...tail*
Arch mage144: *It looks a hell of a lot like a mechanical black dragon*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: ...from Drider to Dragon
UltimateKoD: IM: C'mon... justify my hate, you bastard... e_e
CGNakibe: C-A: Okay, Any questions which one we should nuke first?
Lithaladhwen: C-A: I don't know about this shit, but I say dragon before drider.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: I'll take first shots at Dragon-Bitch here.
Arch mage144: Male Drow with Dreadlocks: Hey, can't say I've met you guys before. Kagero Kuragari, nice to make your acquaintence. Ready to eat plasma?
UltimateKoD: C-A: In RPGs, you have to kill the bits before you - awwwwww...
UltimateKoD: IM: Not him.
UltimateKoD: C-A: Kill the mainboss.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: ...I'll take it. My armor's got shielding out the ass.
Arch mage144: *the mecha leaps off the mesa and slams to the ground, creating a small shockwave with the force*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: This isn't a game, damnit!
Arch mage144: *and its mouth opens...predictably, a hot wash of plasma sprays forth!*
AngryMechaFan: *Distance to dragon?*
UltimateKoD: C-A: Drawin'a parallel, asshole...
Arch mage144: *Helena is beneath the target radius, but Tareen is not--everyone else is just barely out of range*
Arch mage144: (Make a dodge roll, Shini.)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 5
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 2
CGNakibe: (Bring me your AWESOME)
Arch mage144: *the wash of plasma goes just far enough over Tareen's head that it's not a big deal*
Arch mage144: *But at this point it's clear that this weapon has a wide projection, at least 15 yards at the widest point*
Arch mage144: *And a lot of the trees are on fire now*
AngryMechaFan: Z: Nanashii! What does this P-SH do again?!
Arch mage144: (Zeiren, you are 1140 yards to target)
AngryMechaFan: N: ...given the bastard that fucking broke in and TESTED it on me, it ignites the Mana Flux at certain points!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *OPEN CHANNEL TO THAT GUY*
AngryMechaFan: Z: ...This guy is my hero.
TheWaiChibiAngel: What are you DOING? You were supposed to stay hidden, you moron!
AngryMechaFan: N: WHAT?! HE BROKE IN!!!
AngryMechaFan: Z: Work with me here!
Arch mage144: *it's not a two-way communication, so Tareen can't see a reaction at this point, but...*
Arch mage144: *the dragon's head cocks slightly*
AngryMechaFan: *and a sharp bang is heard as the all-too-familiar Alpha Rifle shoots into the Scelestus' hands!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: What, are you stupid or something? Fall back!
AngryMechaFan: *Zeiren decides to move in, aiming!*
AngryMechaFan: (Jump yay!)
AngryMechaFan: (Jump plus checking for potential locks)
Arch mage144: *Jumping...up to the mesa area?*
AngryMechaFan: (And aiming. If that's possible)
AngryMechaFan: (No)
Arch mage144: *Ah. Just leaping?*
AngryMechaFan: (Closer to the dragon)
AngryMechaFan: (Yep. Double move?)
Arch mage144: *Oh I see. You're using thrusters to close distance faster.*
Arch mage144: *1.5x.*
AngryMechaFan: (Right)
AngryMechaFan: (360, so...800 yards away!)
Arch mage144: (Correct. And aiming at the dragon)
Arch mage144: (Tareen, roll acting skill.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (This is going to suck!)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 4 5
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'd have had to get two ones and a two, at absolute most. :D)
Arch mage144: Kagero: What the hell are you talking about!? The plan was to set the forest on fire! Are you taking drugs or something?
TheWaiChibiAngel: No, the plan was to NOT set the forest on fire, because that's a stupid plan!
UltimateKoD: (^_^)
Arch mage144: Kagero: Wait a minute...who the hell are you? Your transmission's not coming from my sister's armor!
UltimateKoD: C: Thanks for letting your plan slip in the interim, dumbass. ^_^
Arch mage144: *That message was to Tareen.*
Arch mage144: *You didn't hear it.*
UltimateKoD: (Oh.)
Lithaladhwen: C-A: Zeiren! All mecha have astral symbiotes, yes?
UltimateKoD: (Sorry.)
Arch mage144: *Tareen's going to do...something aside from talk, if she wishes.*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: No! Only A2s!
Arch mage144: (IQ roll from Zeiren)
Lithaladhwen: C-A: Okay. Find me an A2 to disable.
TheWaiChibiAngel: And your signal isn't coming from your armor, you moron! Didn't I tell you!?
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 4 5
TheWaiChibiAngel: It's a..Signal..Bumper!
AngryMechaFan: (Failed)
AngryMechaFan: (By 1)
Arch mage144: Kagero: I don't know who you are, but you're full of shit.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Alright, if that's how you feel, I won't tell you about the enemy coming up behind you.
Arch mage144: (*LAUGH*)
Arch mage144: (Roll Fast-Talk)
Arch mage144: (If you don't have it, it's IQ-4)
Arch mage144: (Er, -5)
Lithaladhwen: (Oh my God. Her IQ is, like...9.)
CGNakibe: (Gotta hate these skill defaults)
CGNakibe: (Remember any roll of 3 or 4 is a success!0
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 1
Arch mage144: (I'm ruling that that takes the rest of your turn, because you've spent most of the ten seconds or so talking)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Can we ignore that six? :-( )
Arch mage144: (No :-( )
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Yeha, that's cool.)
Lithaladhwen: (By the way. Hel's request for an A2 to disable was something all of her allies could hear. They need to find her one. =[ )
Arch mage144: Kagero: Are you fucking stupid? That trick is older than dragon hoarding instincts!
NebbieQ has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (Serran, IQ roll)
UltimateKoD: (Hey.)
Lithaladhwen: (Kagero, your mother is older than dragon hoarding instincts.)
UltimateKoD: (*snap!*)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 3
CGNakibe: (VICTOLY~!)
A Rockin SN: (Oh snap)
AngryMechaFan: (Kagero has as much of a dragon fetish as Kamos does. XP)
Lithaladhwen: (Aw...Kam-Kam! Your cousin is here! *points to Hel*)
Arch mage144: (Serran realizes something--Makura's always bragging about being in a family of teks. It's probable that his siblings are piloting A2's.)
Arch mage144: (It's also Serran's turn.)
CGNakibe: C-A: Wanna take both of these pilots alive, if possible.
CGNakibe: *How far away is dragon-face?*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: For interrogation?
UltimateKoD: C-A: ... Is one fine?
Arch mage144: (1,100 yards to target)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Both if possible.
CGNakibe: C-A: They're Makura's family. >.>
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'm gonna shut up for now, as that was my turn. :O)
NebbieQ: ("No for slumber parties. What did you think I wanted them for?")
Lithaladhwen: C-A: That's fine. I just want to stop their machines if I can. I may have an idea.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Preferably the hot chick.
UltimateKoD: C-A: ... wait. Hel can just talk to their ghosts later.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Smelly, focus on rushing them.
Lithaladhwen: C-A: Hey. What am I here for.
CGNakibe: (Was it Aim And Move or just move?)
UltimateKoD: I am, I am!
AngryMechaFan: (You can aim and move!)
Arch mage144: (Last time you just moved. You can aim and move if you wish.)
CGNakibe: *Does indeed Aim and Move!*
Arch mage144: (You have to make a piloting roll, though, because you're a machinist.)
Arch mage144: (So do it.)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 4 3
Arch mage144: (You get to add your HUD bonus.)
AngryMechaFan: (Yay +1 HUD bonus!)
Arch mage144: (I'm pretty sure you succeed. You aim at Kagero and move!)
CGNakibe: (11 < 16, that's a go)
CGNakibe: C-A: They're probably A2s, by the by.
CGNakibe: C-A: Heavily modded.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Shit. That means they dodge like hell
Lithaladhwen: C-A: *says something unladylike in... Celestial... but she sounds pleased about it!*
Lithaladhwen: C-A: Thanks.
Arch mage144: Elsa: You flatterer, you! I think I'll kill you first!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Focus all fire on the dragon!
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 3
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 4
AngryMechaFan: (Two dodge rolls?)
Arch mage144: (Yeah. That's two successes.)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 1 1
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 3
AngryMechaFan: (Success, success)
Arch mage144: *The arachnid armor rears up its back end and a pair of tesla coil blasts arc through the air toward Zeiren's mecha from the tail-point*
Arch mage144: *Luckily, Zeiren's evasive actions are successful, resulting in nothing more than a bunch of scorched trees*
AngryMechaFan: C: Aww, baby! I didn't think our relationship was that electrifying!
Lithaladhwen: (Ow.)
Arch mage144: (Oxblood.)
AngryMechaFan: (Now he's just taunting)
UltimateKoD: (They're in range?)
Arch mage144: (They've been "in range" the whole time, it's a matter of whether you want to take a snap shot at -25 or so)
UltimateKoD: (Ah.)
Arch mage144: (If you aim your weapon for a round, you get its accuracy bonus to hit, up to your skill.)
UltimateKoD: *moves in closer, aiming at the dragon...*
Arch mage144: (If you want to move and aim, you can, but that requires a piloting roll since you're not a tek.)
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 4 5
AngryMechaFan: N: Stop flirting with that floozy and get into the game already!
Arch mage144: (900 yards to target, aiming at Kagero.)
UltimateKoD: (... that's... 13. Just BARELY beats 14.)
Arch mage144: (Helena. You are 260 yards from the target.)
Arch mage144: (You're at 15 because the HUD gives you +1 to aiming.)
AngryMechaFan: N: Bitch, you are NEXT!
CGNakibe: C-A: Zeiren? You are not allowed to date the crazy Drider girl
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Seriously!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Aww, but she'd be so kinky!
NebbieQ: (I had no idea that Zeiran had a thing for pain.)
CGNakibe: IM: GAAAH. Mental.. .images... BURNING... >.<
Lithaladhwen: *Helena closes distance as quickly as possible!*
AngryMechaFan: (Wow. Zeiren is great now. Just for his personality.)
Arch mage144: (You are at the dragon's feet.)
UltimateKoD: (Tickle tickle!)
NebbieQ: (So, who's calling in the St. George Squadron?)
Arch mage144: (Because of time being about ~10 seconds a round in mech battles, you only use up 1/5 of your turn making that move)
Arch mage144: (You have 7 seconds of time left; if you're going to concentrate on a spell, you can start, and potentially finish.)
Lithaladhwen: *Helena also begins to cast a spell, because she wants to have enough time to get it done. It takes five seconds.*
Arch mage144: *You finish the spell--roll to see if it succeeds.*
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 3
Lithaladhwen: (12<17. So no failure there.)
Arch mage144: *The mech is within 6 feet, so you're at no penalty--your spell takes effect. What're you casting?*
Lithaladhwen: *Helena attempts to banish the astral symbiote inside the mecha just as she would a ghost or extraplanar demon, because as she understands it, those things are not native to the material!*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 1
Lithaladhwen: (32 versus?)
Arch mage144: (Roll vs. spell skill + will and tell me by how much you suceed)
Arch mage144: (*succeed)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. Will do.)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 5 3
Lithaladhwen: (Okay, she succeeds by 23.)
Arch mage144: *Helena gathers astral energy in an enormous swirl of white light around her body...*
Arch mage144: *A cascade of white lightning erupts from her figure on the motorcycle, directed at the dragon mecha's body...*
Arch mage144: *She notes that an astral presence she was previously detecting has now vanished.*
CGNakibe: (RAEP!)
Arch mage144: (Hold on)
UltimateKoD: (Not bad at all...)
Arch mage144: (She got lucky; that thing had really high EGO.)
Lithaladhwen: *And... Helena spends all of her fatigue and takes 3 damage. She sits back against her bike, winded and unable to do anything else.*
Lithaladhwen: *curses* Damn. I... I just... didn't...
Lithaladhwen: C-A: Hey... I think... I think I got it.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Got what?
Lithaladhwen: C-A: I...*breathes!* ... tried to banish its... its symbiote....
Arch mage144: *there is a lot of drow swearing over the comm*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Banish? That means...
Lithaladhwen: C-A: I... sitting down now.
Lithaladhwen: *leans on her bike*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Right on! Fire at will! I repeat, fire at will!
Arch mage144: *the dragon mecha turns its head toward Helena...*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, what now.
Arch mage144: *...and an enormous gout of hot plasma erupts from the armor's "mouth"*
Arch mage144: (Roll to dodge.)
Lithaladhwen: *She's at its feet. It spraying itself? Crazy fucking Lolthites!*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 2

AngryMechaFan: (Owww)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 5 2 2 5 6
UltimateKoD: (... yee.)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Helena?!
Arch mage144: (DR?)
Lithaladhwen: (65.)
AngryMechaFan: N: ...give into it...come on! We BOTH want to kill that fuck!
Lithaladhwen: (I bet it's less than whatever that was, though.)
Lithaladhwen: (*laugh*)
Lithaladhwen: (She totally just aggro'd everything on the field.)
Arch mage144: (Divided by ten vs. flamers. Hel takes 869 points of damage.)
Lithaladhwen: (Her player spends a character point!)
UltimateKoD: (...)
Lithaladhwen: (Her poor motorcycle. ;_; Ah, well. Good enough for government work.)
AngryMechaFan: (True. HT roll doesn't apply there)
Arch mage144: *Due to a positively divine miracle, Helena is so unconscious right now, but somehow survives.*
CGNakibe: C-A: FUCKING.... Someone's going to pay for that crap.
Arch mage144: *Also, the wash of plasma causes her motorcycle to explode, leaving nothing but molten metal behind*
NebbieQ: (That's being added to her tuition.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Can she see that?*
Arch mage144: (Also, her regeneration is irrelevant; she is out for the next 24 hours.)
Lithaladhwen: (I figured. This is just goofy damage.)
AngryMechaFan: (That's something typically used against other toasters. Duh. XP)
Arch mage144: (She took like 8 times more damage than it would take to reduce a human being to atoms.)
Lithaladhwen: (Or people who try to kill your toaster....)
AngryMechaFan: (Yep)
Arch mage144: *Tareen totally observes this, yeah*
AngryMechaFan: (Lemme guess. Zeiren's turn?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Aaaahh!
Arch mage144: (Correct.)
AngryMechaFan: Krrrgh!
AngryMechaFan: Z: You...
Arch mage144: Kagero: What the hell did that bitch do to my armor!? What's going on here!?
AngryMechaFan: N: YES~!
Arch mage144: Kagero: My precious PT12-Dracolich!
AngryMechaFan: Z: Prepare to go to HELL!
AngryMechaFan: N: FIRST BLOOD!
AngryMechaFan: *And the rifle fires not one, not two, but four bursts of coherent green light at the dragonlike ex-A2*

AngryMechaFan: (Note: Acc =20+2 sensor base.)

Arch mage144: (OK. Summed before applying DR. Right.)
AngryMechaFan: (And before crit effects, if any)
AngryMechaFan: (On the last, I mean)
Arch mage144: *Each blast impacts the Dracolich with great force, battering it with an impressive amount of energy...there is the slight flicker of a mirror field, but it's clearly not strong enough to stop the lasers, or even the majority
Arch mage144: of the energy coming through...but the mecha's frame appears pretty damned solid, and it's still standing despite the incredible amount of firepower.*
Arch mage144: (3700 damage.)
AngryMechaFan: *Can I also move in closer?*
Arch mage144: (Tareen.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Jump jets, ho!*
Arch mage144: (Yes. Your distance is now 560)
Lithaladhwen: (I'm quite happy. I have a sick love of seeing my characters get their asses handed to them.)
Arch mage144: *Tareen closes on the dragon with jettage--540 yards, putting her at 240 yards to target*
Arch mage144: (Serran's up unless Shini wants to do something else)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Watch it. It's got shields!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: You hurt my friend!
AngryMechaFan: N: Ahhh...that felt GOOD! eVe
CGNakibe: (One sec)

Arch mage144: (Wait, yeah, sure. That's a good rule.)
CGNakibe: (Can I take the first and last of those then? :D;;; )
Arch mage144: (Except that it's shot groups of 20)
Arch mage144: (So he only gets 1 roll, and that's the first one.)
CGNakibe: (Yay! I win!)
AngryMechaFan: (...shot groups of 20? When you've got only RoF 12 total?)
Arch mage144: (Oh, wait. Good point.)
CGNakibe: (10 is clearly less than 32)
Arch mage144: (OK, yeah. 3 bursts. The second critfails.)
Arch mage144: (Yes, so is 12. You're at -16 for range, by the way)
Arch mage144: (However, I'm pretty sure both of those are good enough to hit...)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 4
CGNakibe: (That's 10 to 16, though)
AngryMechaFan: (Still good enough)
Arch mage144: (In any case, your critfail misses, but no other negative effects.)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 5 5
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 2 4
CGNakibe: (Thank Priam!)
CGNakibe: (*does*)
AngryMechaFan: (You already rolled once)
OMG Priam: (*thumbsup!* Thank my date for going well, actually.)
AngryMechaFan: (Or was that for the critfail?)
CGNakibe: (We could tell because of the 20 in the other chat.)
Arch mage144: (Second dodge is good. Roll damage once. How much did you suceed by?)O
CGNakibe: (Just when I needed it!)
CGNakibe: (6)
Arch mage144: (Whole burst hits.)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 6 6-sided dice: 6 5 3 4 2 2
CGNakibe: (22 * 25, or 550)
AngryMechaFan: (Per hit, of course)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, 550 per hit, six hits, damage isn't summed though.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: Stop shooting at it, you...!
AngryMechaFan: (Six hits? Thought it was four)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Shut it, Tareen. This is a matter of vengeance.
Arch mage144: (Yeah, it is, my bad. 3 groups of 4. 400 damage, after impaling bonuses)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: I'll venge YOU!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: I'ma go inside, if you shoot me I'm gonna be mad!
Arch mage144: *The first set of blasts impacts the enemy mecha with a great deal of force, though not so much as the shots from Zeiren's mecha--the mirror field soaks up some damage, and the armor takes the rest...*
Arch mage144: *However, Serran's second burst doesn't even leave the barrel--he hears the sound of electrical static and a loud popping sound as the blaster coils backfire*
CGNakibe: GOD DAMMIT!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Right, right.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: If you SO INSIST on making it impossible to shoot at anyone
Arch mage144: *Distracted by the sound, his third shot goes wide into the mesa, causing a shower of rock to tumble all over the enemy mech--but it seems unfazed by the sudden avalanche*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: It's not even a Ghost Armor.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: Look, you shoot him, I can't put his parts into your gear!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: I don't know HOW to use plasma weapons!
CGNakibe: *check check check* IM: That can
Arch mage144: *Suddenly, the spider mech leaps off the mesa toward Zeiren, landing less than 100 yards away*
Lithaladhwen: *is unconscious and covered in third-degree burns.... no new information for Helena*
CGNakibe: *IM: That can't be right... tell me it still works... >.<
Lithaladhwen: (*relurks*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: There's more to machines than weapons!
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 3 2
Arch mage144: (Good enough. Roll to dodge, Nama.)
CGNakibe: *Check check blasters*
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 5
AngryMechaFan: (Success, if that's a shot.)
AngryMechaFan: (Otherwise, I'd have opted to parry were it melee)
Arch mage144: (Melee at 100 yards?)
AngryMechaFan: (Point)
AngryMechaFan: (Either way, successful)
Arch mage144: *The spider mecha's front body lowers parallel to the ground and its rear end comes up...and some kind of pearl-colored spray erupts from the back*
CGNakibe: (Since it matters.. how far does that make the spider lady from Serran?)
Arch mage144: *Scelestus luckily ducks under the incoming burst, which catches some trees behind him--the substance quickly hardens*
Arch mage144: (620 yards.)
Arch mage144: (Oxblood. 420 yards to target.)
Arch mage144: (You were aiming at Kagero. I'm guessing you want to take your shot!)
CGNakibe: (How fitting)
UltimateKoD: (I do!)
CGNakibe: (Elsa: *Jump-kicks from the Cliff.* MAXIMUM.. SPIDER!)
UltimateKoD: *Oxblood's particle cannons charge, and continue the barrage on the dracolich!*
UltimateKoD: (*points at Helena* Maximum carnage.)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Fine, you take him. I've got an angry date to deal with here.
Arch mage144: (OK, tell me what weapon you're shooting and your skill.)
Lithaladhwen: (Elsa: *jumps from the cliff* THE DRIDER! *explodes)
OMG Priam: (Superior Tech!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: WHAT DID I TELL YOU!?
AngryMechaFan: C-A: You know, it's not all about you going into things.
UltimateKoD: (2x Particle Cannons. 13 Energy Weapon Gunner skill.)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: There are parts back on base, you know
Arch mage144: (What kind of particle cannons?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: You know this saves us money!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: We don't have to spend anything anyway!
Arch mage144: (Need a size, accuracy value, etc.)
UltimateKoD: (OH. Mediums.)
UltimateKoD: (ACC of 20.)
Arch mage144: (OK. So your effective skill is 13+13+1 for HUD aiming, or 27, minus a penalty of 14 for range. Your effective skill is indeed 13. Roll to hit.)
Arch mage144: (Twice.)
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 6
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 2 6
UltimateKoD: (... Son of a ...)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: Someone does!
CGNakibe: (That's double failure)
UltimateKoD: (I KNOW!)
Arch mage144: *Both blasts go wide, impacting the rock behind the enemy mecha*
AngryMechaFan: C-A: How about this. Just deal with that stood-up date of mine!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: I seem to be the only one with the firepower to deal with dragon-bitch!
Arch mage144: Kagero: I am going to KILL YOU!
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 1 1
UltimateKoD: (ACk! I could have moved too, couldn't I?)
CGNakibe: (He seems to be making good on this campaign promise)
UltimateKoD: (Oh well...)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: You don't need firepower! Watch.
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Elsa's easier for you to hit than she is for me!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: So DEAL WITH HER!
Arch mage144: *The dragon charges toward Oxblood's mecha at full speed, closing to 220 yards*
Arch mage144: *Tareen is a convenient 20 yards to target*
Arch mage144: *Zeiren's turn*
Lithaladhwen: (Kagero's symbiote can come back in a month.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: I'm closer to this one!
Lithaladhwen: (So he should quit bitching.)
Arch mage144: (Oh great. That does him a lot of good right now.)
AngryMechaFan: *And Zeiren, to at least distract or annoy her, opts to fire off a quick four bursts at the spider-mecha, before leaping over her to get closer to the dragon*
AngryMechaFan: (Only 100 yards distance, so...)
AngryMechaFan: (Snapshotting!)
Arch mage144: (Range penalty is -9, what's your effective skill after range penalty?)
AngryMechaFan: (At a hundred yards? I think we have a problem.)
Arch mage144: (Wait. -9, +4. -5.)
Arch mage144: (I forgot her size penalty.)
AngryMechaFan: (...Jeez. We still have a problem, but, -5? 17)
AngryMechaFan: (Damnit)
Arch mage144: (That doesn't exceed SS, so you're at 13)
Arch mage144: (13 is still a decent shot at hitting, especially with autofire. Roll)

CGNakibe: (1 fail, 3 succeed, no crits)
AngryMechaFan: (One fail, three would-be successes)
Arch mage144: (A failure by no more than two means one-quarter of the burst hits.)

Arch mage144: (Half of your third burst hits. Roll damage.)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 6 6-sided dice: 1 3 1 2 6 2
AngryMechaFan: (450)
Arch mage144: *most of the attack is dodged by the remarkably agile enemy mecha--one burst hits, at least partially, but is absorbed without visible effect.*
AngryMechaFan: (Are these human range penalties being applied to a mecha, perchance?)
Arch mage144: (Your leap puts you a single move's distance from the enemy because of the parabolic arc.)
AngryMechaFan: (Because there seems to be no point in SSing when the only range you can do it from is point-blank. Anyway, discussion on that later)
Arch mage144: (Yeah. They're the same ranged penalties used by all ranged weapons. We'll talk about it later. If you can SS at 12 you have a 75% chance to hit.)
Arch mage144: (So I disagree.)
CGNakibe: (74.1% *technical technical*)
Arch mage144: (Anyway, you're 320 yards from Elsa and 80 from Kagero.)
Arch mage144: (Tareen, you're 20 yards from Kagero.)
Arch mage144: (You're up.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She's gonna try and jet-jump onto him, and assuming that ram-rod she requested is set up, put it to use. Digging in first, of course.*
Arch mage144: *Okay, Tareen leaps onto the enemy mecha, jet-assisted...*
Arch mage144: (Make a battlesuit roll.)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 4 1
TheWaiChibiAngel: (7 of 16)
Arch mage144: *Tareen's penetrating rod erupts from her arm module, attaching her firmly to the mecha hull.*
Arch mage144: *Because the mech has very thick armor, it will take her several rounds to fully penetrate the exterior and reach the guts of the machine.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C-A: If you shoot me, I'm going to be really, really mad!
CGNakibe: (...)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She'll take as long as she needs.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (And yes, that sounds disgusting, Ducky. :-( )
Arch mage144: (That was half the point!)
CGNakibe: (UNF UNF)
Arch mage144: (Serran, do something!)
Lithaladhwen: (PAK CHOOIE UNF)
Lithaladhwen: (UNF UNF UNF UNF)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: ...you RECKLESSLY PLACE YOURSELF IN EVERYONE'S LINE OF FIRE AND THEN TELL THEM NOT TO SHOOT YOU?!
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah. At least Hel never told you to be careful of her.)
NebbieQ: (Spob: She got that from you, you know. Neb: SHE WAS ADOPTED!)
Lithaladhwen: (Speaking of which....)
Lithaladhwen: *is still unconscious*
Lithaladhwen: (*relurks*)
CGNakibe: (Processing... processing...)
CGNakibe: *Moves towards the dragon-mecha, aiming the whole way*
CGNakibe: C'mon.... c'mon... *Is checking to see if that blaster malfunction was just a glitch, by the by*
Arch mage144: (Roll electronics operation, any, or default to piloting-3)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 4 4
CGNakibe: (10 < 12)
Arch mage144: *Temporary glitch. No permanent problems.*
CGNakibe: Alright...
Arch mage144: *Move + Aim, closes 300 yards to 320!*
Arch mage144: *Zeiren may have made a terrible mistake, turning his back on his foe...he suddenly hears the sound of rockets!*
Arch mage144: *You can't parry an attack from behind; roll to dodge.*
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 6
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 1 1
AngryMechaFan: (13, success)
Arch mage144: *Scelestus, using its sixth-sense as an astral symbiote-powered mecha, suddenly hits the dirt without Zeiren's command*
Arch mage144: *And it's a good thing, too, because Elsa's mecha sails over the prone mecha and slams to the ground mere feet in front of him*
Arch mage144: (Oxblood)
AngryMechaFan: N: Hah! You thought you could pull that trick on me?
AngryMechaFan: Z: Whew...good timing, Nanashii
AngryMechaFan: N: I know, I know. After all, I AM perfect!
UltimateKoD: (Yo.)
Arch mage144: (You are 220 yards to Kagero.)
UltimateKoD: (Question.)
Arch mage144: (Yeah?)
UltimateKoD: (Is a move + attack w/ axe possible? PS: The positive will involve a followup?)
TheWaiChibiAngel has left the room.
Arch mage144: (You can move 200 yards, which results in you being 20 yards away from the target; melee at that range is not in fact possible. However, if you close that distance or even some portion thereof...)
TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That was..Weird.)
CGNakibe: (WB)
Arch mage144: (You are close enough that your range penalty is very small; you can try a snap shot if you want, or you can aim.)
UltimateKoD: (Let's try that, then...)
Arch mage144: (OK. You tell me what you want to do.)
UltimateKoD: *charges in as far as he can, and lets loose again with the particle cannons!*
UltimateKoD: (Same attack as before, but snapshotted, I suppose...)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood approaches--he's 20 yards away*
Arch mage144: (Your skill is 13+1, doesn't exceed SS so it's 10, at this range/size there's no penalty. Skill 10. Roll twice.)

Arch mage144: (I got it.)
UltimateKoD: (K.)
CGNakibe: (Also, For those who care...)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood charges at the enemy, raising his blasters and unloading as he gets very close to the target...the dragon mech ducks under the first blast, but the second strikes it square in the head*
Arch mage144: *There is a crackle of electricity as the blaster's particles short-circuit internal systems*
UltimateKoD: *grin*
Arch mage144: *Tareen is luckily unaffected*
Arch mage144: (520 damage)
Arch mage144: *Kagero's draconic mecha leaps forward--it's close enough to reach out and claw Oxblood's machine*
Arch mage144: Kagero: I'm going to fry you alive for fucking up my ride, CFIN prick!
Arch mage144: (Range penalty of zero. What's Oxblood's size mod?)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Amusingly, I did most of the work
Lithaladhwen: (How many people does he have to fry alive? He already got the person who actually did it and I thought that we'd been over this. His symbiote can return in a month. He needs to stop being a baby.)
UltimateKoD: (Size mod... size mod... *search search*)
Arch mage144: (He's Makura's younger brother. What do you expect?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: I wish they'd stop shooting at me. ;_;
Lithaladhwen: (Oh, God. That's true.)

UltimateKoD: (Right.)
UltimateKoD: (...)
UltimateKoD: (Is anyone seeing the same thing as me?)
AngryMechaFan: (You have 4000 HP, dude)
Arch mage144: (Tell me your DR against energy weapons. Base DR and mirror field strength.)
AngryMechaFan: *Distance from dragon-mech, by the way?*
UltimateKoD: (DR's 250...)
UltimateKoD: (*search search...*)

Arch mage144: *Twin gouts of superheated plasma erupt from the draconic mecha's mouth, washing over Oxblood's mecha. It's a good thing he's got a strong frame...but even his standard armor is melting from the heat.*
Arch mage144: (You take 1,280 points of damage and lose 133 DR.)
UltimateKoD: (In the thick of things. Just how he likes it.)
Arch mage144: *The plasma clings to the mecha without fail instead of simply washing away...those are death flamers!*
AngryMechaFan: (Be glad you've got a superheavy)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood's going to take continued damage for the next...*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 1 4-sided die: 4

UltimateKoD: IM: This should be interesting... e_e
AngryMechaFan: (Okay, uh...lessee. Is the Scelestus prone?)
AngryMechaFan: (Or the like?)
AngryMechaFan: (Just wondering)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, but because you're a tek it's cool, you can get up as a free action.)
AngryMechaFan: (Woo!)
Arch mage144: (It dropped and promptly proceeded to get back up)
Arch mage144: (You're at melee range with Makura's sister. Hot hot hot.)
UltimateKoD: (Also: My computer is acting like I'm hitting shift-enter after every message.)

AngryMechaFan: (Right. Can I change that to moving closer first?)
Arch mage144: (But the volley is all good. You're at -3 for speed/range.)
Arch mage144: (If you want, but the penalty is not that large.)
AngryMechaFan: (-3 total?)
Arch mage144: (-7 if it's snap)
Arch mage144: (-9 range, +6 size)
AngryMechaFan: (22-3=19, no snap penalty thanks to SS 18)

AngryMechaFan: (Also, any partial hits?)
Arch mage144: (Your second roll was a half-burst hit)
Arch mage144: (You only succeeded by 4.)
OMG Priam: (Well, just describing it has worked well enough for this encounter. Just get a hex mat and some coins, and use text to indicate what's going on to the players)
Arch mage144: (That hex map would have to be big, even scaled differently, I think)

AngryMechaFan: (Right)
AngryMechaFan: IM: Damnit.
AngryMechaFan: IM: ...he'll live
Arch mage144: (Oxblood takes 483 damage.)
UltimateKoD: C-A: DAMMIT! Watch your aim!
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to kill it before it kills the rest of us
AngryMechaFan: *Would then move a jump's distance away from both*
Arch mage144: *Kagero's mecha, having sustained way too much damage, heaves mightily and then collapses*
TheWaiChibiAngel: IM: What did I tell them!?

AngryMechaFan: (Three kills from ace!)

Arch mage144: (You are 220 yards from Elsa's mech.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Can she jump that far?*
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She does!*
Arch mage144: *Tareen lands on the enemy's back!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I'm going to take all of your weapons away and replace them with POTATOS.
AngryMechaFan: C: Uh, no you're not.
Arch mage144: *Going to ram it with your powerful rod?*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Uh, yes I am.

Arch mage144: (Serran, you are 320 yards to Elsa)
UltimateKoD: C-A: ... *records what Elsa just said*
CGNakibe: (And 3e doesn't have Move-and-Attack. Sadness.)

OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 1 5
Arch mage144: *And the dodge is good--the nimble mecha ducks under the blast*
CGNakibe: IM: e.e Nice dodge.
Arch mage144: *...before leaping out of the crouched state toward Serran, twisting the legs forward in the process*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 1
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 1 2
CGNakibe: *counters with a nice dodge of his own.*
AngryMechaFan: A-C: Fire at will!
CGNakibe: C: Nimble.
AngryMechaFan: C: It's an A2 alright
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Uh, I'm still here!
Arch mage144: *THUD--the mecha lands just next to Serran*
Lithaladhwen: *is still unconscious*
AngryMechaFan: A-C: Right. Don't hit Tareen.
CGNakibe: *Grins*
Lithaladhwen: (And I become Jak.)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood...and you take plasma damage*
CGNakibe: C: Tareen? Might wanna move now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Stop shooting and I can catch her!
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 6 3 1 6 2
AngryMechaFan: A-C: ...but aside from that...
CGNakibe: C: Best if you don't.
UltimateKoD: (... eep.)
Arch mage144: (497, plus your armor erodes another 63 points.)
AngryMechaFan: (I intended this! Damage is halved after initial! :D!)
UltimateKoD: (I don't need to do a rearm to have my axe, right?)
Arch mage144: (:D )
Arch mage144: (No, it's built in or whatever.)
Arch mage144: (Target is 100 yards away. You can close the whole distance and melee if that's what you want.)
UltimateKoD: *igniting his battleaxe, Oxblood seeks to put a deep gash into the metal monstrosity* (Exactly that, yes.)
Arch mage144: (It's half your move, and it's melee, so no penalty.)
Arch mage144: (Roll appropriate melee weapon skill.)
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 3
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 5
UltimateKoD: (Axe skill - 15.)
Arch mage144: *The plasma axe just misses as the mecha twists its body to avoid the blow--Tareen is getting flung around all over the place by the armor's crazy movements*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Will you all quit!?
Arch mage144: (Zeiren)
AngryMechaFan: C-A: Better to keep it on the ground.
UltimateKoD: C: GET THROUGH AND WE WILL!
AngryMechaFan: N: Right, let's do this!
Arch mage144: (Make another IQ roll)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 5 6
AngryMechaFan: (...)
UltimateKoD: (... ouch.)
Arch mage144: (OK, take your turn)
AngryMechaFan: (Not crit, so...)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: IT'S HARD WHEN YOU'RE SHOOTING AT ME!
AngryMechaFan: N: Commence, Burning Aura!!!
UltimateKoD: C: WELL, SHE IS TRYING TO KILL US!
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: THEN STOP LETTING HER!
CGNakibe: C: Just get back!
Arch mage144: (All three of you are at melee range, which is really funny for some reason...and Tareen is on its goddamned head)
CGNakibe: C: We can take it from here!
UltimateKoD: C: WE ARE. BY SHOOTING AT HER! >.<
Lithaladhwen: (Dog-pile on Elsa!)
AngryMechaFan: *And almost at that moment, the Armor's forelimbs appear to burst into blue flame, followed by the Scelestus leaping...*
AngryMechaFan: IM: I always though this would be fun
CGNakibe: (Zeiren: How 'bout a threesome, baby?)
AngryMechaFan: Burning Meteor Impulse!!
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: ...no.)
OMG Priam: (I was thinking more a Night at the Roxbury thing)

OMG Priam: (Tareen: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.)
AngryMechaFan: (12 vs. 16...not like that matters)
AngryMechaFan: (UBERDODGEWHORE)
Arch mage144: *...the scenario looks something like this.*
Arch mage144: *Scelestus, after its dragoon impersonation, is now standing on the enemy armor's back, though it seems unaffected by the attack.*
Arch mage144: *Flanking it on either side are Oxblood and Serran.*
Arch mage144: *Tareen is holding onto its head for dear life.*
AngryMechaFan: *Uh, plasma burning!*
AngryMechaFan: *? Or no?*
Arch mage144: *Not doing sufficient damage to break whatever armor is there, apparently.*
Arch mage144: (PD is holding you off.)
Arch mage144: (For now.
Arch mage144: )
AngryMechaFan: (Aha)
NebbieQ: (Tareen: I DON'T WANT TO FORM THE HEAD! >_<)
CGNakibe: (Zeiren is on its back, right?)
Arch mage144: *Tareen can feel that if she's just got another 20 seconds or so she can get through*
UltimateKoD: (Oxblood: Oh, but you gotta, baby... ^_^)
AngryMechaFan: (Yep)
Arch mage144: *Serran is up*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: 20 seconds and I'll be in! JUST GIVE ME THAT MUCH!
NebbieQ: (Chuck is not allowed to talk anymore.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: DON'T KILL ME!
CGNakibe: *and wait... Serran is pulling out his spear now?*
Will Rennar has left the room.
CGNakibe: *Stabs low, aiming for legs or ground near the legs if at all possible*
Arch mage144: (It has eight legs. You can do that at -1.)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 1 1
Arch mage144: *It's a melee gangbang of Makura's sister...or...something...*

Arch mage144: (Yeah, I have no idea, you tell me base damage >.>)
CGNakibe: (Spear hits, 350 damage vs 1/10th armor)
Lithaladhwen: (Damn. That's some spear. Didn't belong to a guy named Longinus, did it? Because I hear that can break divine DR.)
Arch mage144: (Total 640, doubled for impaling effect.)
UltimateKoD: (Jesus: OW! Watch it with that thing! You'll put a rib out!)
CGNakibe: (Contact mine attaches, that will be doing .... 1875 damage, again 1/10th armor)
CGNakibe: (Start of next turn!)
Lithaladhwen: (Adam: Happens to the best of us.)
AngryMechaFan: (That's Lilith. XP)
CGNakibe: C: MOVE!
Arch mage144: *Elsa seems to be pretty pinned down now...*
CGNakibe: C MOVE NOW, TAREEN!
Lithaladhwen: (Conventional wisdom tells that Eve was made from Adam.)
Arch mage144: *...except that the tail-end of things lashes around...*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 6
Lithaladhwen: (Lilith was theoretically also made from dust.)
Arch mage144: *Roll dodge, Serran*
Lithaladhwen: (She just left him because he wouldn't let her be on top. No joke.)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 4
AngryMechaFan: (Yep!)
CGNakibe: (Victoly~!)
Lithaladhwen: (This is what Rabbi Bienstock told us. She liked it cowgirl style, and Adam was threatened by this.)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyway!)
Arch mage144: *the spray of rapidly-hardening polymer thread whizzes past Serran's mech*
Arch mage144: (Oxblood)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: GIVE ME TEN MORE SECONDS.
CGNakibe: C: YOU HAVE THREE.
AngryMechaFan: C: TWO. ONE.
UltimateKoD: (*sigh* Plasma damage?)
Arch mage144: (Yep)
AngryMechaFan: (...you have 4000 HP)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 6 4 2 1 3
Arch mage144: (385 minus whatever your current DR is, subtract 38 from it.)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood's mecha continues to melt around him as the plasma erodes his armor...*
Arch mage144: *It's getting hot in there! Might want to turn up the AC!*
UltimateKoD: .. whew.
UltimateKoD: IM: Anyways.
UltimateKoD: *swings that mighty plasma-axe at the robot's gut!*
Arch mage144: (Roll melee skill)

AngryMechaFan: (If it's 15, it hit)
UltimateKoD: (... oh wait! It's fifteen!)
UltimateKoD: (^_^)
AngryMechaFan: (It's not like your crappy shooting)
Arch mage144: (She's prone and there's a mech on top of her.)
Arch mage144: (You hit. Roll damage)
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 8 6-sided dice: 1 4 1 2 4 3 1 2
UltimateKoD: (Rar. That's 19x45.)
AngryMechaFan: (855 before armor)
AngryMechaFan: (Energy damage, of course)
AngryMechaFan: (Armor = 1/10 normal)
Arch mage144: (Plasma melee weapons ignore mirror fields, FYI)
AngryMechaFan: (Right)
AngryMechaFan: (...nice.)
Arch mage144: (Doubled for impaling damage; total 1,650.)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood steps up to the plate and swings at his pinned opponent...*
Arch mage144: *The plasma axe cuts deeply into the mecha's hull, slicing through every armor layer and nearly slicing the arachnoid model in half near the abdomen!*
Arch mage144: *Zeiren!*
Arch mage144: Elsa: You bastard! Look what you did to my beautiful Drider! Just LOOK!
UltimateKoD: C: I know. WHAT an improvement.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Will you stop breaking things?! What's wrong with you!?
AngryMechaFan: *Okay, it's pinned, crippled...would it really have that much of a chance against any sort of close range blast of shrapnel, such as a...*
AngryMechaFan: *well, we'll answer that. The arms stop flaming...and the Alpha Rifle goes back on its shield...while the other shield goes BANG...*
AngryMechaFan: *and a large, almost bazooka-looking gun shoots into the hands of the dominant mecha!*
AngryMechaFan: *...before shooting a point-blank volley at our friend here*
AngryMechaFan: (Attack roll?)
Arch mage144: (Your speed/range/size bonus is +4.)
Arch mage144: (You still have to roll.)
AngryMechaFan: (Yay!)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 1 4
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 3
Lithaladhwen: (Nice.)
AngryMechaFan: (One less and it would've critted...but who am I to complain? XP)
Arch mage144: *She's not even trying to dodge--the mecha goes slack as the ejection seat fires...*
AngryMechaFan: (Should I roll damage for laughs?)
UltimateKoD: *any chance of catching that little petal?*
Arch mage144: *Due to an interesting coincidence of positioning, Tareen is on top of the ejection seat, which is rapidly gaining altitude*
AngryMechaFan: *leaps off afterwards...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....
Arch mage144: *At this point, Tareen's been cutting into the armor long enough to penetrate the hull!*
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 6 6-sided dice: 5 6 1 6 4 1
Arch mage144: (Yeah, roll damage for laughs)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Hull of the ejection seat?)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
CGNakibe: (Don't forget the mines~!)
Arch mage144: (Oh, I didn't. Just wait.)
NebbieQ: (Or the mimes.)
Arch mage144: (Let Nama roll damage first.)
CGNakibe: (ACK. MIMES.)
NebbieQ: (The most cunning trap the enemy has.)
AngryMechaFan: (3312)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Then yes, she will squeeze in there, and reform as soon as she has room. Probably right on top of Elsa.*
CGNakibe: (Damage of LULZ)
Arch mage144: (Tareen is now several hundred feet up and gaining altitude rapidly.)
AngryMechaFan: *and leaps off!*
NebbieQ: (Tareen: So...whatcha doin'?)
Arch mage144: *The ejection seat is penetrated by Tareen, who utilizes her amazing body to liquify and squeeze inside*
CGNakibe: (Tareen: You've touched me in ways I've never been touched before. )
CGNakibe: (</futurama>
CGNakibe: *)\
AngryMechaFan: *By the way, the blast from that scattercannon must've been LOUD*
Arch mage144: *She and Elsa are now sharing a space with about as much spare room as the typical driver's seat of a car*
Lithaladhwen: (...)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hi!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I have a lot of anger to take out.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Would you mind?
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
UltimateKoD: (^_^)
CGNakibe: (HAhahaa)
AngryMechaFan: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (Tareen makes me smile.)
Arch mage144: *The scattercannon blast rips what is left of the mecha to shreds...and as the mine explodes, the Drider is torn into thousands of bits of shrapnel that scatter everywhere with an incredibly loud BANG*
Arch mage144: Elsa: *eyes widen in shock*
Arch mage144: Elsa: WHAT THE HELL? How did you get in here!?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Well, I was supposed to be back there, but maybe we can talk more down there, when I take you back to my boss and he tells me I did a good job and makes everyone else peel potatos.
Arch mage144: (You're at close-combat range. You normally couldn't dodge because there isn't room, but Tareen is liquid girl, sooooo...*
Arch mage144: )
Arch mage144: *Elsa angrily attempts to attack the amorphous engineer with a fist...roll dodge*
UltimateKoD: ... IM: Oh crap. Where'd that other drow go? *goes to thermos to find Kagero...*
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 5 3
Arch mage144: (You are also no longer wearing any armor, just as a note, because you squeezed through it.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Course.)
AngryMechaFan: (Make an IQ roll now?)
Arch mage144: (Your dodge is half your DX unless you have a martial arts skill or brawling)
Arch mage144: (In which case you can parry instead)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Dodge is 6)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Er, Parry is nine)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Still too high :-( )
Arch mage144: (OK)
Arch mage144: (Yes, Nama, IQ roll)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 3
AngryMechaFan: (SUCCESS!)
AngryMechaFan: N: HA!
AngryMechaFan: N: Do you see who is supreme?!
AngryMechaFan: N: Why, beautiful, glorious, ME!
Arch mage144: *Hey, uh, while you've been preoccupied with the Kuragari siblings...the supply depot has been getting ripped apart*
Lithaladhwen: (Well, that's no good.)
AngryMechaFan: Z: GAAAAHHH!!!
NebbieQ: (Haha.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel would say something, but she's in the same situation as the supply depot, so... yeah.)
UltimateKoD: IM: DAMMIT! *heads over!*
Arch mage144: *At this point, much to your surprise, the armors are retreating instead of finishing off the base*
AngryMechaFan: A-C: Troops! I told you to radio in in case something went WRONG!
Arch mage144: *At full speed, assisted by jets no less*
Arch mage144: *Zeiren gets no response*
AngryMechaFan: A-C: ...jeez.
UltimateKoD: *stops short*
CGNakibe: *Collects any lose Kuragari kids*
Arch mage144: *Tareen takes...2 hits of damage from a strong punch by Elsa*
AngryMechaFan: A-C: They don't listen, and this happens.
UltimateKoD: C: Guess we cut off the two heads of the serpent...
Arch mage144: *Unless of course she has some sort of innate, unarmored DR; I don't remember*
Arch mage144: *No loose Kuragari kids to be found, Serran. Kagero got away via ejection seat; Ishtar only knows where he is now.*
Arch mage144: *It's Tareen's turn.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ow!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Now why you gotta make me more mad?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She was taught something, once! The proper way to headbutt someone.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She'll put this knowledge to use.*
NebbieQ: (Tareen: *turns into a sack of oranges*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Sweet valentia oranges.)
AngryMechaFan: *Can Elsa's escape pod be tracked?*
Arch mage144: *She may attack with a martial arts attack if she has the appropriate skill; she's at -2 for taking damage last round.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (They don't leave a bruise, so you can hit them as much as you want!)
CGNakibe: *well then, where is Elsa's pod?*
Arch mage144: *It's up in the air, but Tareen is in there; do you really want to shoot it?*
AngryMechaFan: *Not shoot*
CGNakibe: *Shoot? No, Catch? VERY YES*
AngryMechaFan: *Move to try and catch*
Arch mage144: *You've got a solid lock, though, and can track it...right now.*
Arch mage144: (Roll vs...what, brawling?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Yep.)
AngryMechaFan: *and LEAPS in the direction of the pod*
NebbieQ: (Why do I see those two mechs bonking into each other as they try to catch Tareen?)
Arch mage144: (What's your skill, and what's your ST?)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 1
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Skill is 14, ST is 11)
Arch mage144: *It's too high for a jump-capable mecha to reach; you leap, but it's no good.*
CGNakibe: (Oxblood: *Is sad for some reason. And still on fire.*)
Arch mage144: (Plasma's done.)
AngryMechaFan: *Err, I meant to get under it*
Lithaladhwen: (...This has all gone crazy.)
Arch mage144: (Roll one die for damage, Shini)
UltimateKoD: (That's cute.)
AngryMechaFan: C: Base, come in.
Arch mage144: *No response*
AngryMechaFan: *to home base?*
CGNakibe: ...
Arch mage144: *No response*

Arch mage144: *It occurs to you to roll fucking sensors*
Arch mage144: *Because you are probably still being jammed*
AngryMechaFan: (Still success)
AngryMechaFan: (Or, oh. Roll again?)
CGNakibe: (That was an IQ roll, not a sensors roll. >:P)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 5
CGNakibe: *track track track the angry drow girl...*
Arch mage144: *Tareen deals 4 hits to Elsa...she reels from the force of the headbutt*
AngryMechaFan: (Success! By 3)
Arch mage144: *Since she's not wearing a helmet...*
AngryMechaFan: (12+HUD bonus)
AngryMechaFan: (10 < 13, so...yeah.)
Arch mage144: *Elsa looks incredibly confused and writhes in the seat, trying to reach her blaster*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 5
Arch mage144: *However, she is unable to reach it because she's grappling with Tareen*
Arch mage144: *And because the head blow has left her dizzy*
Arch mage144: *YOU ARE BEING JAMMED*
Arch mage144: *Tareen*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Woo..Maybe I shouldn't do that...
AngryMechaFan: Oi, Serran. Go and catch it, would you? *decides to go for more...important...matters*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'm up again?)(
AngryMechaFan: *Would it be possible for the Scelestus to pick up Helena without hurting her more?*
AngryMechaFan: (...you're the only one fighting)
NebbieQ: (Zeiran: IM: Now with that out of the way, I can concentrate on beating my tetris high score.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Well, yeah, but there's also the enemy. :-( )
AngryMechaFan: (she took her action)
Arch mage144: (She tried to grab her blaster)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *This time, it's an elbow! That's a lot less self-hurtifying.*
Arch mage144: (Which, incidentally, you can also do if you would like)
Arch mage144: (Roll brawling)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 4 3
TheWaiChibiAngel: (12/14)
Arch mage144: (Roll damage, she still can't dodge you because you're pinning her to the seat)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Sucks to be her. :-( )
Arch mage144: *Elbow to the face! Man, Tareen sure can be pretty solid when she's in the mood to do so!*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 3
Arch mage144: *Elsa manages to retrieve her blaster from her hip and bring it to bear, but doesn't have time to fire it this action*
Arch mage144: *Tareen*
AngryMechaFan: *Better idea, turns on speaker option!*
AngryMechaFan: *If that's an option*
Arch mage144: (You can continue grappling with her, attack her, try to grapple her neck and choke her, or attempt to disarm her)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Will attempt to take her toy away!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's dangerous!
Arch mage144: (Roll DX)
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 3
Arch mage144: (Waiting on you, man, roll versus dexterity)
TheWaiChibiAngel has left the room.
Arch mage144: (Ooookay)
AngryMechaFan: Speaker: Cecil, I'd advise you get out here, and we get out of the field once we get Tareen and Helena back!
Arch mage144: (I am listening to Balrog's theme right now, which is highly appropriate)
Arch mage144: (Because everything is insanity right now)
CGNakibe: (I think what I'm hearing is a remix of Atma Weapon's theme)
Arch mage144: C: I'm trying, but there are a lot of wounded! I can't really leave at the moment!
AngryMechaFan: C: Yeah, well, Helena's wounded!
Arch mage144: C: Shit, are you serious!?
Arch mage144: C: How badly?
AngryMechaFan: And I think it'd be easier to take her back to base in that car than in or on my Armor!
AngryMechaFan: Sp: VERY! Took a plasma weapon to the everywhere.
Arch mage144: C: Alright, alright, I'll see if I can get back to the hoverjeep...
TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
AngryMechaFan: (Yes. Plasma weapon to the everywhere)
CGNakibe: (WB, Shini)
Lithaladhwen: (Sounds accurate.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Sorry, chair broke and knocked something over, which caused my computer to freze up)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Last I saw was "That's dangerous!")
Arch mage144: (It's fine, just roll vs. DX)
AngryMechaFan: Sp: I'll call a MedEvac once we're out of this jamming field.

Arch mage144: Elsa: Goddamnit! You stupid...pudding creature! Whatever the hell you are, why won't you just DIE!?
CGNakibe: (Tareen: Dangerous toys are fun, but you could get hurt! >:3)

TheWaiChibiAngel: (Or, not)
Arch mage144: (Wrong.)
AngryMechaFan: (Oh, wait)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Since I beat it.)
UltimateKoD: (Wait. Isn't that 13 hits?)
AngryMechaFan: (Oh. Stupid me)
UltimateKoD: (Or does she get +1 for some reason?)
Arch mage144: (It does more damage than just the dice.)
Arch mage144: (Anyway.)
AngryMechaFan: <_<
Arch mage144: (Tareen is at -3 and made her HT roll, so she's still conscious.)
AngryMechaFan: Z: THAT...doesn't look good...
Lithaladhwen: *is presumably still on the ground next to the sad remains of her issued motorcycle*
AngryMechaFan: *seeing the bolt fly out*
Arch mage144: (She won't die until -11. You can act normally, but you're at -14.)
Arch mage144: *Elsa has shot the hell out of the cockpit, incidentally...*
Arch mage144: *...and it's quickly falling to the ground*
AngryMechaFan: *catch!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..o..ow..
Arch mage144: *Not that quickly*
AngryMechaFan: *Oh.*
CGNakibe: *fielding it as best he can...*
AngryMechaFan: *I'm stupid.*
CGNakibe: IM: Just a little closer...
AngryMechaFan: C: Right, Ser. You get it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *How's Elsa looking?*
Arch mage144: *There's a huge hole in the glass visor of the escape pod--if Tareen wants to try to escape, she can squeeze through without trouble*
Arch mage144: *Elsa is bruised, but it would take a solid hit to knock her out*
Arch mage144: *It's up to you what to do*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Well, she's going to try and finegal herself back into her armor, rather than continue this. After all, it's THEIR fault that it came to this :-(*
Arch mage144: (Being at -14 you're not likely to score a solid hit)
Arch mage144: *writhe, squeeze, amoeboid motion*
Arch mage144: *Tareen retreats to the outside of the escape pod*
Arch mage144: *Elsa screams in fury...*
Arch mage144: (Zeiren, roll piloting!)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 2 1
Arch mage144: *YOU'RE OUT!*
AngryMechaFan: (Critical! 5 vs. 19)
Arch mage144: *It's a good catch!*
Arch mage144: *Tareen is safely on top of the pod*
Lithaladhwen: (*finagle.)
CGNakibe: C: Played any baseball lately Zei?
Arch mage144: (Roll HT Shini)
Lithaladhwen: (I think.)
AngryMechaFan: C: ...Not really.
CGNakibe: C: You should start.
UltimateKoD: (Finegal is an Irish superhero.)
Arch mage144: *a hoverjeep comes tearing across the field toward you*
UltimateKoD: C: Cecil! *opens his cockpit*
Arch mage144: C: Ashura's motherfucking tits, what happened here!?
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
UltimateKoD: (... triple Ds.)
UltimateKoD: (>.&gt;-)
AngryMechaFan: C: Elsa and her little brother.
CGNakibe: C: What DIDN'T happen here.
AngryMechaFan: C: Not Makura. Other little brother.
UltimateKoD: C: Hel's over there! *waves and points to smoking-ness*
AngryMechaFan: C: How many people you got stable?
Arch mage144: C: Damnit...*drives over to Helena and gets out of the vehicle*
AngryMechaFan: C: Yeah. What Stinky said.
Arch mage144: C: Holy shit, that's her motorcycle...*checks her pulse*
AngryMechaFan: IM: Please be alive please be alive please be alive
Arch mage144: C: I have no idea how, but she's still breathing.
Lithaladhwen: (Resh: Eh. I can veto these things.)
AngryMechaFan: C: Get her on, quick, and let's get out of here. I'll call a Med-Evac and a salvage team to...*checking coordinates, if possible*
Arch mage144: C: ...she's unconscious, but it's not even a deep coma. It's like she took a sharp blow to the head, not a barrage of mecha fire. I don't understand it.
UltimateKoD: C: ... tough chick...
Arch mage144: C: *lifts the girl and puts her in the back of the Jeep*
Arch mage144: *A battered-looking Elsa peers out of the escape pod...right into Zeiren's viewport*
AngryMechaFan: Speaker: Hi.
Arch mage144: *Her knees shake as she weakly collapses into her seat, holding the blaster only loosely*
AngryMechaFan: (XD)
CGNakibe: C: I think she likes you, Zei.
AngryMechaFan: C: You think?
Arch mage144: Elsa: So...you think you've won, CFIN bastards?
CGNakibe: C: Did you at least get her number?
AngryMechaFan: C: We have time for that later
Arch mage144: *the drow spits a tooth onto the control panel*
UltimateKoD: C: Besides, won't it be on the prison jumper they give her?
AngryMechaFan: Sp: Not won. Gotten closer to....oh. You might want to fix that...
CGNakibe: C: I'll tell you waht I think.
AngryMechaFan: C: Tareen, keep her from getting out if she tries.
CGNakibe: C: I think you'll be joining us in a short stroll through the woods. Do you mind?
Arch mage144: (Tareen is up on top of the pod and in absolutely horrible shape, barely conscious in fact)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I..
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: uh..
AngryMechaFan: (Oh, right)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: ...
AngryMechaFan: C:...nevermind.
Arch mage144: Elsa: As a matter of fact...I do.
AngryMechaFan: Sp: Too bad.
Lithaladhwen: (SEPPUKU is the answer.)
Arch mage144: Elsa: Not really.
Arch mage144: Elsa: See you in hell, you oppressive dogs. *lifts the blaster to her temple*
AngryMechaFan: *SHAKE!*
Arch mage144: *FIRE*
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: She'll see that I was right about Lolth.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: I'm always right and nobody listens.)
AngryMechaFan: *So...did she succeed, or not? XP*
OnlineHost: Arch mage144 rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 1 5
CGNakibe: (Lolth isn't the type that tolerates failure)
Arch mage144: (Roll piloting, Nama.)
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 2
AngryMechaFan: (11 vs. 19)
Arch mage144: *Zeiren peers inside...*
Arch mage144: *...and the answer is no.*
Arch mage144: *But Makura's sister's not looking so hot anymore...*
Lithaladhwen: (Lolth is just a crazy bitch.)
AngryMechaFan: Sp: ...why do you have to do that now?
UltimateKoD: C: ... oooh...
Arch mage144: *Her unconscious and somewhat disfigured body lies slumped against the control console.*
AngryMechaFan: C: She's unconscious, but pretty alive.
Arch mage144: Cecil: Damnit, whatever jamming field they set up is still going strong. I can't get through to headquarters.
AngryMechaFan: C: ...no longer so hot, unfortunately...
CGNakibe: C: Gonna have to hoof it.
AngryMechaFan: C: Regrettably.
Arch mage144: C: As strange as this sounds, Helena is going to live without treatment. I need to make sure our prisoner doesn't die from her combat injuries.
CGNakibe: C: Too bad, Zei. Though she didn't seem like your type anyway.
AngryMechaFan: C: Let's go.
UltimateKoD: C: Don't worry. Other fish in the sea...
AngryMechaFan: C: Eh. Actually, too into spiders. *laughs a bit*
Arch mage144: C: Put that pod down so I can drag her out and stabilize her.
Arch mage144: C: Don't worry, she'll be too sedated to do anything, and I have some binders in the trunk.
AngryMechaFan: C: Roger that. *tries to get Tareen to ride on his mecha's shoulder, if possible*
CGNakibe: C: *mutters* She'll probably enjoy that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Has scince slumped over. :-(*
AngryMechaFan: *places her in hand, and then lowers the pod to the ground*
CGNakibe: C: Is that... Tareen? o.o
Arch mage144: Cecil: *retrieves Elsa from the escape pod, kneels, and proceeds to check her out*
Arch mage144: C: Still breathing. Most of her wounds are superficial facial burns. Fixable with corrective surgery.
AngryMechaFan: C: Yeah. I'm guessing she might've been hit by one of those shots...though, you'd have thought she'd be in her suit...
Arch mage144: C: If she was trying to kill herself, she did a lousy job of it.
AngryMechaFan: C: Thanks to me.
CGNakibe: C: Better hand her to Cecil.
AngryMechaFan: C: Right. *lowers Tareen to the ground as well*
Arch mage144: C: *produces a hypo and injects her* Well, she's not going to be in pain...or doing anything...for several hours at this rate.
Arch mage144: C: *shakes his head* I don't think any of my drugs are going to work on Tareen. Helena could help her, but...
Arch mage144: C: Not right now.
Arch mage144: C: I would like to say she's not in danger of dying either, but I honestly don't know. Her physiology is completely confusing to me.
UltimateKoD: C: What's the damage to the depot? Did we fuck up that part of things?
Arch mage144: C: I have no idea what happened.
Arch mage144: C: It looks like they stopped destroying shit about halfway through. Why leave the job part-way done?
Arch mage144: C: There was some reason they came here beyond just carnage.
AngryMechaFan: C: Maybe they require direct command.
Arch mage144: C: And I don't know what it is yet.
CGNakibe: C: Because it WASN'T partway done. e.e
UltimateKoD: C: ... I like Zeiren's idea better.
CGNakibe: (Any chance I could use Intel Analysis on this?)
Lithaladhwen: (OMG. Diversion?)
Arch mage144: C: As soon as we can get out of the jamming field we'll tell HQ to send an evac and medical unit via dropship...
Arch mage144: (You haven't got enough intel to analyze. Yet.)
AngryMechaFan: C: And a salvage unit at that.
CGNakibe: (Noted!)
Arch mage144: C: Let's just get back to base. I'm not sure if this mission was a success or a failure...
AngryMechaFan: C: Likewise. We'll call a salvage ship to take care of the "Dracolich" as it was called
UltimateKoD: C: It had its losses and gains...
Arch mage144: C: *looks over at the mecha* You did some pretty significant damage, but it just deactivated. Maybe it can be refurbished.
AngryMechaFan: C: Exactly
Arch mage144: C: I'm going to put Tareen and Elsa in the jeep.
CGNakibe: C: Meh. Not my style.
Arch mage144: *he does so, though it takes a minute*
Arch mage144: *safely behind the wheel, Cecil starts heading back to base* Come on, guys. Let's go.
AngryMechaFan: C: Eh. If nothing else, we can keep a refurbished version on standby as a potential replacement. Beats building a new Armor
UltimateKoD: *sigh* This is going to take forever.
AngryMechaFan: C: Well, let's go...
Arch mage144: C: Only about three hours, like last time.
UltimateKoD: *starts walking, at a WHOPPING 40 mph, back to base*
Arch mage144: *And thus the group begins the trek back to base...*
Arch mage144: *Timelapse?*
Lithaladhwen: (Please.)
UltimateKoD: (Yes.)
Arch mage144: *The next day...*
Arch mage144: *Elsa is in a cell in the highest security block. Tareen and Helena have fully recovered, Helena with almost no apparent medical intervention...*
Arch mage144: *And Delta Unit is reconvening for yet another squad meeting with CO Herzog.*
Lithaladhwen: *sits awkwardly on her chair with her legs crossed and her elbows on her knees*
Arch mage144: Giles: *burying his face in his hands* Damn. That...could have gone...so much better.
Arch mage144: G: It's not your fault. Don't be too hard on yourselves.
UltimateKoD: We got Elsa. That's... something...
Arch mage144: G: We're still trying to figure out what went wrong. Our intel boys suspect a set-up.
AngryMechaFan: I apologize, sir. I placed too much faith in the local troops to deal with them while we dealt with the custom A2s
Arch mage144: G: Yeah, and that's something they didn't count on.
Arch mage144: G: *shrugs* Not everyone can be as good as Delta Unit.
Arch mage144: G: *grins, just a little*
UltimateKoD: ... kay.
AngryMechaFan: <_< Gamma seems to do a good job. *laughing*
CGNakibe: Heh.
UltimateKoD: IM: They... think of us as good. ... cool...
Arch mage144: G: Gamma Unit is another story altogether. Don't even get me started.
Arch mage144: G: You guys are catching up in terms of successful missions.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug* I have a question.
AngryMechaFan: *Seems to be placing two marks on his suit sleeve*
Arch mage144: G: To be honest, the brass thought you were too rag-tag to ever accomplish jack shit. You've proven everyone incorrect.
UltimateKoD: *still can't BELIEVE she's alive and UP AND AROUND...*
Arch mage144: G: Yes, Mazuo?
Lithaladhwen: I never got to find out something. I... before I got blown away I attempted to dismiss the dragon-robot-whatever's astral entity back to its native plane. I don't know enough about the machines to know if it worked.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Seems more than a little sour!*
AngryMechaFan: *Is likewise surprised, but seems to be busy marking his "kills"...*
Lithaladhwen: Was it effective, or not? Should I try it next time?
AngryMechaFan: ...It worked.
Arch mage144: G: We recovered that mecha. It seems to be completely devoid of its astral symbiote.
AngryMechaFan: I noticed a drop in its performance...
AngryMechaFan: A big one, at that.
Arch mage144: G: Given typical understanding of tek capabilities, I would say that for Kagero that was like fighting with a hand tied behind his back.
Lithaladhwen: *nods slowly* Eh. Good deal. Duly noted.
Arch mage144: G: However, I suggest finding a less risky method next time...
Lithaladhwen: ...
UltimateKoD: Little bastard... can't believe we lost him...
AngryMechaFan: We still got his Armor before it could cause more problems
Lithaladhwen: Uh... well, if I can find a less risky method that works, I'll do it. Didn't... I don't know. Sorry if I freaked you out.
Lithaladhwen: I just needed to see if it would work.
Lithaladhwen: And it did.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
CGNakibe: ... Yes, Please Hel. Don't do that again. <.<; The nearly dying part, anyway.
Arch mage144: G: The engineers seem enthusiastic about refurbishing that, incidentally. They specifically requested that Investigational Engineer Tareen Nueva lead the project.
Lithaladhwen: *to Serran* Yeah, well. It's not entirely under my control.
AngryMechaFan: <_< Who, I might note, needs to stop telling us to stop shooting every Armor encountered.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *BITTER*
Arch mage144: G: And Serran, I understand that you have training in intelligence analysis?
CGNakibe: Yes sir, some training.
Arch mage144: G: Great. Then I need you to go over the cargo storage list at that supply depot and find out if there was anything there worth assaulting the place for.
Arch mage144: G: *hands Serran a disc*
CGNakibe: Sir, yes sir!
CGNakibe: *grabs the disc*
AngryMechaFan: Anything required of me, Commander?
Arch mage144: G: Other than that, I put you all in for promotions.
AngryMechaFan: o.o
Arch mage144: G: I thought you might like to know.
AngryMechaFan: *practically falls out of his seat*
UltimateKoD: o.o
Arch mage144: G: We're going to interrogate Elsa tomorrow. She's...not being very cooperative so far.
Lithaladhwen: I can help.
UltimateKoD: Promotion to what? o.o
CGNakibe: Well, she tried to kill herself before.
NebbieQ: ("TO THE MOOOOON!")
AngryMechaFan: Yeah...and she doesn't really care how pretty I am, either. 6_6
CGNakibe: Cooperative isn't exactly what we expected.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Promotion? Is that allowed?
Arch mage144: G: I was told she tried to kill herself twice already, so she's been restrained and sedated to the point where she can barely hold her eyes open, much less speak.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Too into spiders for that, man.
AngryMechaFan: Heh.
CGNakibe: Maybe if you had 8 legs and walked on ceilings...
AngryMechaFan: But yeah...she needs to stop trying to kill herself.
Arch mage144: G: Not her opinion, clearly.
AngryMechaFan: Better keep her completely restrained
TheWaiChibiAngel: Can you tell her I'm sorry for having to smack her around?
Arch mage144: G: We'll worry about her later. Right now we need to worry about Operation Deepsea Diver.
Lithaladhwen: I have an idea for Elsa.
Arch mage144: G: ...I'll pass that along.
Arch mage144: G: What?
Lithaladhwen: You could let her kill herself. I can talk to her after the fact, because then she has no way to avoid me.
Arch mage144: G: Uh...
Lithaladhwen: *smirk*
TheWaiChibiAngel: No!
AngryMechaFan: ...o.o;
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's terrible!
Arch mage144: G: ...the brass is not going to like that idea.
Lithaladhwen: Well, I'm just presenting options.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ooh!
Lithaladhwen: If she does off herself, find me, would you?
UltimateKoD: Remember: They don't like death here, Hel.
Arch mage144: G: Yeah, er, I would like to say we can find someone to read her mind, but there's been no luck.
Lithaladhwen: Oxblood, isn't the military supposed to be practical? Even if Elsa kills herself, we can still get information from her.
Arch mage144: G: Yes, Nueva?
Arch mage144: G: She might be more useful alive, Helena, and that's not easy to reverse.
UltimateKoD: They use it. They just don't ENDORSE it, for some reason.
UltimateKoD: IM: Seems hypocritical to me...
TheWaiChibiAngel: You could do the good-cop bad-cop thing!
Lithaladhwen: Whatever. I'm available if you need me.
AngryMechaFan: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's what this one guy used to do.
Lithaladhwen: *cracks the bones in one hand* I'm still sore. So weird.
TheWaiChibiAngel: He'd be all "Tell me what I want or I'll lock you in a room with that Tareen girl!"
Lithaladhwen: IM: Bizarre sensation. I don't really like it. I didn't need to be reminded of that, thank you.
CGNakibe: *laughs* He threatened her with locking her in the room with you?
AngryMechaFan: ...Anyway...
Arch mage144: G: Yeah, we...can...try that.
AngryMechaFan: I'm not that good on interrogation, so...do whatever, I guess.
CGNakibe: (Yes, it hurts.)
Arch mage144: G: If there are no further questions, you're all dismissed. I am ordering you to get some rest after that last mission, especially Tareen and Helena.
CGNakibe: (That means you're still alive!)
Arch mage144: G: Go play some video games or pig out on tacos or something, seriously.
UltimateKoD: ... but really, promotion to what?
AngryMechaFan: Ordering, Commander?
UltimateKoD: o.o
CGNakibe: You don't have to tell ME twice, sir.
Arch mage144: G: I'll tell you if something important comes up.
AngryMechaFan: ...First Class. <_<;
TheWaiChibiAngel: Fish tacos?
Arch mage144: G: Fish, beef, chocobo, I don't care!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Because those sound disgusting
CGNakibe: (Murloco's Fish Tacos)
Arch mage144: G: Just go take a goddamned break!
UltimateKoD: ... What? Not to General? ^_^
UltimateKoD: *heads out*
Arch mage144: Cecil: Don't get your hopes up, Oxblood. >_>
AngryMechaFan: -<Iiiidiot...>-
Arch mage144: C: I think that's a bit...excessive, don't you?
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and stands... heading out*
CGNakibe: *Up and out as well*
Lithaladhwen: IM: What the hell am I supposed to do now? Go play games with Zeiren? Agh.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
UltimateKoD: Just a joke, sir! *from outside*
AngryMechaFan: *gets up* I guess my Intangible and Missing Strength game could use some fine-tuning...
AngryMechaFan: *stretches, and then heads off*
CGNakibe: *mutters* A couple good missions and he's already gunning for a new job.
AngryMechaFan: *Mutter* That stinky bastard's too full of himself.
AngryMechaFan: *w* Hey, Ser. Think we should at least get rid of the stinky part?
NebbieQ: (Hey Zeiran, I have this kettle you need to meet. It's black, you see...)
Lithaladhwen: *follows the others* I have a question.
OMG Priam: (Yay, Don has something to really brood over!)
Lithaladhwen: How long was I out?
AngryMechaFan: At least a day.
Lithaladhwen: ....How is that possible?
CGNakibe: For a while we thought you were dead, you know? >.>;;
AngryMechaFan: That's what I want to know...given that attack, you should've been vaporized!
Arch mage144: C: What do you mean, how? You should be atoms!
UltimateKoD: (Don Blackwell: Huh? What? What are you talking about? e_e)
Arch mage144: C: Not that I want that, or anything...not at all!
Arch mage144: C: But...you know!
Lithaladhwen: I guess it's not normal. *rubs her upper arms with her hands* Feels like I have a sunburn. I think.
CGNakibe: Hot plasma tends to do that. *nod nod*
Lithaladhwen: *shakes her head* So weird.
Arch mage144: C: ......
NebbieQ: (Technically, she still is atoms.)
AngryMechaFan: Yeah. Ionized gas...
Lithaladhwen: (Neb wins!)
AngryMechaFan: Will do that.
AngryMechaFan: <_< Want something to eat?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh! There was something I wanted to talk to you about, too.
Lithaladhwen: ...yeah. Um. I want a burger. You have those? Made of ground up cow meat?
AngryMechaFan: Yeah, we do.
Lithaladhwen: Good deal.
AngryMechaFan: *Heading to cafeteria, then?*
Lithaladhwen: *aye!*
Arch mage144: C: ...on a side note, Serran...you're our intel guy...
CGNakibe: Yeah? o.o
Arch mage144: C: ...is it just me, or did that feel like a trap?
CGNakibe: Its not just you.
AngryMechaFan: You know, you did give me quite a scare, Helena. With nearly getting vaporized into component atoms and all...
CGNakibe: We managed to get half a win out of it anyway.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I totally misread something. :-( )
CGNakibe: Which is nice.
Arch mage144: C: How did we find out about that anyway?
UltimateKoD: *at a table is Oxblood and another orc, a female, carousing and looking snuggly*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *After saying that, she's going to track down the intended target! The bossman!*
CGNakibe: Friends are good to have, aren't they? *nod nod GRIN*
Arch mage144: *The who now?*
Lithaladhwen: I...uh. *coughs self-consciously*
AngryMechaFan: <_< Hey, Ser. Got the Za-breeze?
Arch mage144: C: Uh...right.
CGNakibe: Somewhere 'round here.
CGNakibe: That's what I was doing yesterday, if you must know.
AngryMechaFan: *evil grin*
Arch mage144: C: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Damned mortal body. Though I guess it must not be totally human. I've never known a human to survive what they told me happened to me.'
Arch mage144: C: But however you found out...if it was a trap...
AngryMechaFan: Thinking what I'm thinking?
CGNakibe: Zeiren? You're just gonna piss him off, you know.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Must not be perfectly human. Which is... both comforting and unsettling.
Arch mage144: C: ...gah, I don't know, doesn't that mean the whole thing was a setup from the beginning?
CGNakibe: That would be a very bad thought, I must note.
AngryMechaFan: Don't worry. I'm faster. *smirks*
UltimateKoD: *they're giggling and eating off of each other's plates*
Lithaladhwen: They probably just needed to go destroy something else. So they sent the freaky robots to distract us.
Arch mage144: C: It wouldn't be good. I honestly have no idea whether it's true or not. I don't know what to think about anymore.
CGNakibe: I... actually don't think it was a trap. At least not when I was called. But.... Hm.
Arch mage144: C: Well, okay. It may not have been.
Arch mage144: C: But something is wrong.
AngryMechaFan: Just gimme the stuff, would ya?
Arch mage144: C: I hope you can figure out why they attacked.
Lithaladhwen: *glances over at Oxblood and his woman*
CGNakibe: Maybe our man got compromised.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Mortals are so weird.
CGNakibe: This is quite possible.
CGNakibe: ... e.e And a bit regrettable.
Arch mage144: C: CO Herzog seemed to think they came for a purpose.
Arch mage144: C: We need to find out why that base was so important.
Arch mage144: C: Right?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Their commanding officer.)
CGNakibe: Right.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (The one they were just speaking to.)
CGNakibe: They also kept us from defending the base more effectively.
Arch mage144: *You find him.*
Arch mage144: C: Yeah, the Kuragari siblings...
AngryMechaFan: Oh, wait...I forgot that I had some myself!
Arch mage144: C: Okay. Well, this is your job, I really don't know.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, that's right. The girl was there. Who was the other one?
AngryMechaFan: *still in the cafeteria...*
Lithaladhwen: Another Kuragari?
AngryMechaFan: *takes out the bottle, unscrews the spray nozzle!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uh..
Arch mage144: C: I'm good at lots of things, like folding origami and writing sonnets, and even doing card tricks. But this isn't my specialty. I'm not really a military man.
TheWaiChibiAngel: There was something I wanted to ask, sir.
Lithaladhwen: You fold origami?
Arch mage144: G: Yes?
Arch mage144: C: Yeah!
CGNakibe: You're a damn good healer, Cecil. That has to count for something, right?
Lithaladhwen: ...s'kind of cool.
CGNakibe: And that? I never learned it myself.
Arch mage144: C: I don't have paper with me right now, though, or else I'd make you a crane or a boat or a lobster or something.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Um...
CGNakibe: Just no patience for it, you know?
AngryMechaFan: *...and then throws the smell-removing liquid...all over Oxblood...before starting to run*
Lithaladhwen: I... don't have any you could use. Sorry.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Can I get permission to replace all of their lasers and junk with potato guns?
Lithaladhwen: ...What the hell? Zeiren's going to get his ass kicked.
Arch mage144: G: What? *looks confused* Who?
UltimateKoD: ... *his girlfriend looks a bit... reuplsed*
UltimateKoD: *repulsed
Lithaladhwen: (I saw that and read "reupholstered.")
UltimateKoD: ....
Arch mage144: (His woman is a couch, apparently)
Lithaladhwen: (XD)
AngryMechaFan: *run, run, run, as fast as he can! He can't catch me, I have ranks in Running!*
Lithaladhwen: (You take out the vowels, that's what you get!)
Arch mage144: (HAHAHAHAHAHA)
Lithaladhwen: (AAHAHA)
UltimateKoD: I'll be back, Sarga.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uh, Zieren, mostly.
NebbieQ: (That brings whole new definition to the term "loveseat")
OMG Priam: (And "leather interior")
NebbieQ: (Oh baby.)
Lithaladhwen: (OH MY GOD)
Arch mage144: (I Hate you all)
Arch mage144: G: No!
UltimateKoD: *gets up, and leaves, calmly, with a face full of... seething)
CGNakibe: (HAHAHAHAA)
UltimateKoD: e___e
Arch mage144: G: Your squad-mates need weapons to fight! They can't do combat against enemy mecha with potatoes!
Lithaladhwen: Uh.... Oxblood? What just happened?
NebbieQ: ( Says you )
Lithaladhwen: IM: Hey, he smells nice.
AngryMechaFan: *Is doing much in the way of running...with an amused grin on his face*
AngryMechaFan: (HAR HAR!)
NebbieQ: (It wasn't that funny. :-( )
UltimateKoD: Someone just guaranteed themself a talking to.
OMG Priam: (No =( )
Arch mage144: (I just laughed my ass off at the goddamned I HAVE RANKS AT RUNNING)
UltimateKoD: *thinks of the places Zeiren would go to, and goes there. His room, the arcade, the hanger... the usual spots*
Lithaladhwen: (I'm still freaking out about the leather interior joke.)
NebbieQ: (That's something I imagine the Gingerbread Man saying, if anyone makes GURPS stats for him.)
Arch mage144: G: So...no. No potato guns.
AngryMechaFan: *Instead runs to his own dorm, and locks the door!*
Arch mage144: G: And if I find out you did replace their weapons with potato guns, I will have you discharged. >_>;
NebbieQ: (Gingerbread Man: YOU CAN'T CATCH ME, I HAVE RANKS IN RU- Fox: *GOMPH* Gingerbread Man: D: )
Lithaladhwen: ....*sits at her table as the chaos passes her by*
UltimateKoD: *What's the door made of?*
Arch mage144: G, IM: Out of a cannon.
AngryMechaFan: *Metal*
TheWaiChibiAngel: But they're usually shooting at ME!
Arch mage144: G: I have no advice for you at the present time.
OMG Priam: (This is the part where Cha wins)
UltimateKoD: *What can 15 STR do to it?*
Lithaladhwen: ...So I'm confused. How bout you guys? How are you?
TheWaiChibiAngel: If they didn't blow everything up all the time, I could have gotten both of those machines back...
Arch mage144: (I dunno, let's see, Charles)
AngryMechaFan: *seems to be laughing, even*
UltimateKoD: (Rolling?)
Arch mage144: (no)
OMG Priam: (Statcomparing, I'd wager)
Arch mage144: (It's made of metal, 1/8th inch thick steel...)
CGNakibe: ... You know how Oxblood usually smells?
Arch mage144: (...given a few minutes, you can break it down.)
UltimateKoD: *KNOCK KNOCK* Hey Zeiren.
UltimateKoD: We need to have a chat.
UltimateKoD: And we're GOING to, whether you like it or not.
AngryMechaFan: Now, now. Ayr's sleeping. You don't want to wake the other Tek.
CGNakibe: (My fist would like to hold a cordial chat with YOUR FACE)
UltimateKoD: In fifteen seconds I'm going to start beating down this door.
AngryMechaFan: Besides. You refused to start taking a shower
AngryMechaFan: Thus.
AngryMechaFan: I had to resort to very, very, extreme measures.
UltimateKoD: I'M AN ORC. IT'S MY FUCKING MUSK, YOU IDIOT.
Arch mage144: G: Recovering enemy mecha is not as high a priority as the survival of my unit.
AngryMechaFan: LEARN TO PICK UP GIRLS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
UltimateKoD: IT'S WHAT WE USE TO ATTRACT MATES.
Arch mage144: G: If that means they have to shoot at them because they're being fired upon, so be it.
CGNakibe: Well, Helena, that smell is apparently how orcs get dates with other orcs.
NebbieQ: (...he has a girlfriend, though.)
CGNakibe: See?
UltimateKoD: (... she likes it.)
Arch mage144: (She's not interested anymore, the dude doesn't have the right stench.)
NebbieQ: (Ah, nevermind, misunderstood what Zeiran meant.)
AngryMechaFan: *you can hear heavy stuff being pushed in front of the door*
Arch mage144: (And my cat sprawls out all over my lap)
UltimateKoD: ... fuck it. *WHAM! That stuff jumps.*
AngryMechaFan: *It's a good old-fashioned blockade!*
UltimateKoD: *WHAM.*
UltimateKoD: *WHAM.*
UltimateKoD: *And so on.*
CGNakibe: Now the question remains. Which is harder... Zeiren's door, or Oxblood's head.
AngryMechaFan: *Dude, it'll take a LONG time. That's for sure.*
OMG Priam: (Two minutes long, anyway)
AngryMechaFan: (Naah. He's blockading the thing)
UltimateKoD: *Angrier Oxblood gets, stronger Oxblood gets. e_e*
Lithaladhwen: ...Well.
CGNakibe: *Sadly Oxblood's pants have not yet turned purple*
Lithaladhwen: Uh... Um.
OMG Priam: (Blockades are not nearly as important or effective as locks and hinges)
Lithaladhwen: I'm glad I'm not an Orc. It seems very complicated.
NebbieQ: (It takes a long time to move furniture around.)
NebbieQ: (Plus, that'd also have a part in waking up his roomies.)
CGNakibe: (No matter what, furniture is fucking LOUD when moved.)
NebbieQ: (Besides, what does he have to blockade it, besides a desk and a chair? A chair can be moved quickly, but can also be broken down. A desk would be stronger, but inconvenient to move by himself.)
CGNakibe: (A bookcase would be best.)
Arch mage144: (Cha, you deal 1d-1 damage and the door has 4 DR)
CGNakibe: (And really the hardest to move)
NebbieQ: (Are there bookcases in the dorms, though?)
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
Arch mage144: (You effectively damage it once every 5 hits)
NebbieQ: (It doesn't seem like there'd be enough room.)
CGNakibe: (There is doubt.)
OMG Priam: (And could Zeiren muster the strength to move it?)
Arch mage144: (It will take you...one minute to break the door down.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Bah..
Arch mage144: (As such...Zeiren no longer has a door, before any blockade beyond a basic chair. And these are sliding, metal doors.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Okay. ._.
AngryMechaFan: *Right then*
Arch mage144: *Oxblood has managed to cause the door to cave in enough that it's practically worthless*
Arch mage144: *And it sure as hell isn't keeping anyone out*
Arch mage144: *...some passersby in the dorms are staring*
Arch mage144: G: If that's all, Tareen, as I said, the request was for you specifically to lead the refurbishment of that armor.
CGNakibe: Oxblood 1, Zeiren's door, 0.
UltimateKoD: *opens the door, grabs Zeiren by the shirt and lifts him off his feet*
Arch mage144: (Roll opposed DX.)
CGNakibe: Cost to Oxblood? Probably a paycheck or two!
OnlineHost: AngryMechaFan rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 3 2
AngryMechaFan: (Succeed by 2)
Arch mage144: (Any brawling, karate, or judo can be used instead)
AngryMechaFan: (Succeed by..wait)
AngryMechaFan: (Karate, eh?)
UltimateKoD: (Brawling, eh?)
OMG Priam: (Heh.)
Arch mage144: (Yes, and yes.)
UltimateKoD: (MMA! Woo!)
CGNakibe: (Eh wot?)
AngryMechaFan: (Eh. Same)
Arch mage144: (Roll, Charles)
OnlineHost: UltimateKoD rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 4 5
CGNakibe: (*grabs his monocle*)
CGNakibe: (I think we have a winner.)
UltimateKoD: (14<9.)
OMG Priam: (14 !< 9)
AngryMechaFan: (Regrettably.)
UltimateKoD: (*14>10.)
CGNakibe: (You have your arrows on backwards, Charles)
UltimateKoD: (I do.)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood is grappling Zeiren >.>*
AngryMechaFan: ^.^ See how much everybody likes how you smell much more now?
OMG Priam: (This is the part where Zeiren's head begins to leak)
NebbieQ: (Headbutt!)
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: Serran?
OMG Priam: (And Nama possibly spends 1 CP)
Lithaladhwen: Thank you for being sane.
Arch mage144: Cecil: ...this is messy.
CGNakibe: *sighs and makes his way over to the others* This can't go on.
Arch mage144: C: Should I do something?
UltimateKoD: Listen, Zeiren. If you hadn't figured it out, I AM TIRED OF YOUR SHIT.
Arch mage144: C: People are staring.
Lithaladhwen: You too, Cecil.
AngryMechaFan: (If that goes, there'll be security issues!)
UltimateKoD: In. Fucking. General.
AngryMechaFan: And I'm tired of you smelling. ^.^
Lithaladhwen: Sanity. I appreciate this in the average mortal creature.
NebbieQ: (Your face will have security issues.)
Lithaladhwen: It is vitally important.
Arch mage144: C: ...*sigh*
UltimateKoD: You did something about my smell. I'M doing something about your shit.
UltimateKoD: I smell for a REASON. You give me shit for NO reason.
AngryMechaFan: I am offended by your smell
UltimateKoD: Can you see why that would PISS ME OFF.
UltimateKoD: ?
Arch mage144: C: I guess they just have to work this out, don't they?
AngryMechaFan: This is a reason
CGNakibe: If they work it out with their fists there will be trouble.
CGNakibe: Let us hope that they do not DO this.
UltimateKoD: No it's not. You're just another fucking racist asshole who thinks he's better than me cuz he has FUCKING PINK SKIN. e_e
UltimateKoD: And I'm TIRED of it.
AngryMechaFan: Not racist.
Lithaladhwen: They'll be fine.
AngryMechaFan: Sigov takes showers.
UltimateKoD: BULLSHIT.
UltimateKoD: ... and leeeeeeeeeet's not discuss the apple, shall we?
AngryMechaFan: Last I checked, he is not fruit
Lithaladhwen: (*snicker* That's not a nice term.)
AngryMechaFan: And thus, he counts as worth counting. He takes showers, and actually considers that people may be, you know, offended in an olfactory manner.
Arch mage144: C: Should I calm him down?
Arch mage144: C: I am somewhat concerned that they're going to kill each other.
UltimateKoD: ... let's get one thing straight.
Lithaladhwen: I could try.
CGNakibe: Wait just a moment.
OMG Priam: (If Zeiren does not have Unfazeable on his CS, then I call shenanigans on this conversation)
CGNakibe: Can you calm them both?
UltimateKoD: You keep this up, I'll put you in the infirmary.
AngryMechaFan: (He has Strong Will +3)
UltimateKoD: Keep it up past THAT, I'll put you in the MORGUE.
CGNakibe: (Not the same thing)
Lithaladhwen: Okay, do you want me to yell at them? Or something?
UltimateKoD: Understand?
Lithaladhwen: I think it will mean more coming from me.
Arch mage144: C: Your solution is probably less efficient than mine, but it might be...nicer.
AngryMechaFan: You try any of that, you will be arrested by security.
Lithaladhwen: *walks up to Oxblood and kicks him in the leg to get his attention* Hey you.
UltimateKoD: I don't give a fuck. e_e
CGNakibe: Probably will be. You think they're going to be nice for too long?
Lithaladhwen: Please stop this. Or I will do terrible things to both of you.
UltimateKoD: *turns* WHAT? eVe
AngryMechaFan: You wouldn't get the chance to put me in the morgue.
AngryMechaFan: And...I'd listen to her.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* You have ten seconds before I do something ....that isn't civil. To both of you.
Lithaladhwen: One. Two.
UltimateKoD: ... *tosses him*
Lithaladhwen: Three. Four.
UltimateKoD: Fucking asshole... *exits...*
Arch mage144: *Thud. Zeiren hits the ground.*
Lithaladhwen: *sigh*
AngryMechaFan: (Acrobatics to make a roll and break said fall?)
Arch mage144: *It's not hard enough to do lethal damage.*
OMG Priam: (Nama really wants to roll some dice)
AngryMechaFan: (Successfully)
CGNakibe: Nothing like macho posturing to break up the tedium of an otherwise boring day...
Lithaladhwen: And I was kind of hoping that I could test out that spell. I never get to cast that spell.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs again*
Lithaladhwen: I like that one.
CGNakibe: You have a spell JUST for this?
Arch mage144: C: I was really hoping I wasn't going to have to shoot him full of muscle relaxants.
Lithaladhwen: Well, not just for this. But it would have made a nice opportunity.
CGNakibe: *shrugs* I've got nothin in those departments.
Lithaladhwen: And I didn't really think he'd lash out at the invalid or whatever.
Arch mage144: *the cadets in the hall go about their business*
Lithaladhwen: So I kicked him.
Arch mage144: C: ...Zeiren is going to have to requisition a new door...
UltimateKoD: (That was actually pretty cute.)
Arch mage144: C: *facepalms* I do not think this is what CO Herzog meant.
Lithaladhwen: (That whole scenario does not strike me as...cute.)
CGNakibe: Probably the only way to get him to listen there.
CGNakibe: And you're rigth.
CGNakibe: *right
UltimateKoD: (Oxblood: RARRAR I'LL KILL YOU. Hel: *kick* Quiddit. Oxblood: ... OK.)
CGNakibe: This is the complete opposite of actual relaxation
Arch mage144: C: I am going to go to the holosimulator and play a game or something. Let me know if I have to de-testosterone Oxblood later.
Lithaladhwen: (*snort* She took advantage of her "nearly just died" status to kick him.)
AngryMechaFan: Yes. Jeez. If only he'd take a damn shower. I mean, there are orcs here that DO that. And they are perfectly fine.
CGNakibe: (Somehow I deeeefinitely saw Rukia kick him in that mental image)
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren, stop being a prissy little baby about it. If you played with dead bodies more, you'd be a little less inclined to flip out about smells.
Lithaladhwen: e_e
CGNakibe: (A cute kick from Rukia)
Arch mage144: C: You want to come, Serran? It's been a while since I've done any multiplayer gaming.
Lithaladhwen: You are all rediculous.
CGNakibe: Sure, why not?
Lithaladhwen: IM: MORTALS HOLY CRAP.
UltimateKoD: (Also: Does anyone need a reminder about the term "apple"?)
Lithaladhwen: IM: They are all clearly insane. Their lifespan affects their cognitive ability or something.
AngryMechaFan: (Oh, I got it from Bes)
Arch mage144: C: I don't even want to think about this anymore. Tareen and Helena could've died on that last mission and here we're beating each other up in the hallways.
Lithaladhwen: (I got the joke.)
UltimateKoD: (*nod*)
Lithaladhwen: Cecil.
Lithaladhwen: See, the thing about dying.
Lithaladhwen: Is that it's a binary condition. Either you do or you don't.
Arch mage144: C: Don't tell me that dying is okay!
Arch mage144: C: ...
Arch mage144: C: Yeah, I know. I know.
Arch mage144: C: But close calls make you appreciate being alive that much more, right?
AngryMechaFan: Right. *goes to wherever it's necessary to requisition a new door*
Lithaladhwen: Maybe.
CGNakibe: You'd think so.
CGNakibe: *Good luck with that door*
Arch mage144: C: It's not a maybe!
Lithaladhwen: But really. Just as fair to say that Tareen and I didn't die on that last mission. Neither did you or Serran.
CGNakibe: (Chances the CO will have to hear about the new door? HIGH)
Lithaladhwen: Nobody's climbing all over you telling you how lucky you are.
Arch mage144: (Oh, you know it.)
UltimateKoD: (Oxblood could care less.)
Arch mage144: C: I...um...don't....usually climb all over...people...
Lithaladhwen: Conversationally-speaking.
CGNakibe: (Chances Oxblood will find a reason to care about the lack of funds in his next check? Also high!)
UltimateKoD: (No.)
Arch mage144: C: ...yeah, th...come on Serran.
Lithaladhwen: I'll go with. I need to learn these things.
Lithaladhwen: They're apparently really important in your leisure time.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Lets go, then.
UltimateKoD: *is at the holosuite too, killing virtual things...*
CGNakibe: Important? Maybe. Depends on what you think of em.
Arch mage144: (Oxblood = Worf)
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
Lithaladhwen: (Holy shit.)
AngryMechaFan: (Anyway, fade out here?)
CGNakibe: (Oxblood: *busy kicking Puchuus*)
Arch mage144: (Sure)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah.)
UltimateKoD: *Y'know how in GTA, you can keep kicking a dead body after it's dead?*
UltimateKoD: *Yeah.*
UltimateKoD: (Yeah.)
Arch mage144: *So the three go off to screw around for a bit...on orders...*
Lithaladhwen: (Go Oxblood!)
Arch mage144: </RP>
Lithaladhwen: </Helena "Still Made of Atoms" Mazuo>
UltimateKoD: </Oxblood "Kill All Who Oppose Me" Gnashrak>
AngryMechaFan: (After anything related to doors, Zeiren will likely be going at the Intangible and Absent Strength machine)
Arch mage144: 3 CPs to all participants. Hel gets an extra 1 for disabling that mecha in a creative manner. Nama gets an extra one for the joke about ranks in running, because cripes, I have not laughed that hard in a while.
CGNakibe: </Serran>
AngryMechaFan: </Zeiren, Mid-Boss>
UltimateKoD: There we go.
AngryMechaFan: (yay! Six more)
Lithaladhwen: *ahem*
Arch mage144: Zeiren acquires x1 replacement door, Oxblood gets x1 lecture about controlling his temper, and you guys are insane for making me break out the grapple rules during CI.
Lithaladhwen: Heeee.
AngryMechaFan: (And then...it will be time to up his DEX)
OMG Priam: I blame EL NINO
Arch mage144: Spanish for: THE NINO
AngryMechaFan: Blame me for being relatively dead-brained. :-(
OMG Priam: Too easy
AngryMechaFan: It's 3:30, so...:-(
Arch mage144: Yeah, anyway.
UltimateKoD: Blame me for having a crazy character.
Arch mage144: OH, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: My character isn't crazy. She's just a mad scientist.
Lithaladhwen: Which is different. So she doesn't start fights.
CGNakibe: It is 2:21 in the CORRECT AND PROPER TIMEZONE.
AngryMechaFan: STOOFOO
Lithaladhwen: 3:22.
UltimateKoD: *1:21
Lithaladhwen: Biatch.
CGNakibe: Serran is laid back and relaxed.
Arch mage144: Tareen gets an extra two points for being fucking nuts and trying to do kung-fu in an escape pod a mile in the air with about two feet of moving room.
OMG Priam: *Be:es
CGNakibe: And wonders why the hell you bastards are all "AAAARGH"
Arch mage144: Because that took balls.
UltimateKoD: Agreed.
Lithaladhwen: It did. Go Tareen.
CGNakibe: Where does she keep them anyway?
AngryMechaFan: I need to be not-braindead. :-(
Lithaladhwen: Shaun: It's okay. Hel's confused, too.
NebbieQ: In a box.
Arch mage144: She has to manifest them from her pudding body.
CGNakibe: Did she bronze them?
Lithaladhwen: Shaun: She's certain that mortals didn't behave like this back in her day.
AngryMechaFan: I now have that sinking feeling
TheWaiChibiAngel: *:D*
Arch mage144: OK, so I'm gonna post a wrap-up and you're all dismissed!
CGNakibe: I think Helena is horribly misguided. .:p
Lithaladhwen: Shaun: Likely.
UltimateKoD: *nod*
Arch mage144: You people keep me on my toes as a GM =P
Lithaladhwen: S'their job.
CGNakibe: James, Hideki, Zea, and Solis are all in a room...
AngryMechaFan: I did it in a bad way this time. :-(
Lithaladhwen: Shaun: Oh, right. Yeah.
AngryMechaFan: Sorry.
CGNakibe: Needless to say, five minutes later there is no room.
Arch mage144: No, I thought that was pretty entertaining if you're referring to the end of the RP.
Lithaladhwen: Nama: This was fucking hilarious.
CGNakibe: That was petty and wrong.
Lithaladhwen: Nama: You should have heard Brian laughing his ass off.
CGNakibe: And FUNNY
OMG Priam has left the room.
CGNakibe: Serran: Told you he'd beat you senseless!
CGNakibe: Or try, anyway!
AngryMechaFan: I've got more of a sinking feeling regarding any relationships with other party members Zeiren will have, and/or other deals from the CO
Lithaladhwen: Hel is made of apathy. Oxblood is made of hostile orc, and he's the one you should worry about.
Lithaladhwen: I predict more hilarity.
AngryMechaFan: XD
CGNakibe: I predict that this prediction will come true!
AngryMechaFan: It was...funny?
AngryMechaFan: ...Well, okay, Neb didn't think so
CGNakibe: Oxblood has Anger Management issues, yes.
NebbieQ: It was kinda "WTF did that come from?" for me.
UltimateKoD: It comes from being an oppressed minority.
CGNakibe: You had to be here earlier. He's been doing this a while.
NebbieQ: Wait, I'm an orc now?
NebbieQ: Shaun: Yeah, probably.
AngryMechaFan: He's been doing this since the start, so...
UltimateKoD: He's just lucky there isn't a group called the Green Panthers.
Lithaladhwen: *snicker
Lithaladhwen: *
CGNakibe: YET.
Lithaladhwen: That would be hilarious.
CGNakibe: Although Panthers don't strike me as quite the orcish animal.
CGNakibe: Something else, perhaps?
Lithaladhwen: Green Rhinos?
AngryMechaFan: Besides. Zeiren's more of "fair"-toned, not white-person-y, in my opinion. ^^
AngryMechaFan: Emerald Bulls?
UltimateKoD: ... Green Warthogs?
CGNakibe: Warthog works.
Lithaladhwen: Green Bushpigs.
CGNakibe: *snickers*
NebbieQ: Green Apples. :P
UltimateKoD: ... why would they insult themselves, exactly? o.O
Lithaladhwen: Apples, bananas, oreos.... it's all about being white on the inside.
Lithaladhwen: And food.
Lithaladhwen: You have to be food.
UltimateKoD: *nod*
AngryMechaFan: My prediction for punishments for both?
UltimateKoD: Amd that's twinkies, Ashley.
AngryMechaFan: Reduced pay and bathroom duty for three weeks.
Lithaladhwen: I've heard banana, too.
UltimateKoD: How about you ask the GM who controls the CO?
AngryMechaFan: That's my guess
UltimateKoD: Kay.
Lithaladhwen: If this were the Navy, my prediction would be somewhat different.
Lithaladhwen: So Zeiren is lucky it's the army.
CGNakibe: If this was the Navy there would be much more in the way of "GET ALONG OR ELSE" going on.
Lithaladhwen: If this were the Navy there would be more talk of Zeiren looking good in them jeans, boy.
Arch mage144: I would also expect more boats. And anal sex.
NebbieQ: "GET ALONG OR WE WILL BEAT THE FRIENDSHIP INTO YOU!"
Arch mage144: Mostly boats.
Lithaladhwen: Betcher gladd you're bishounen, eh?
Lithaladhwen: *glad
CGNakibe: I didn't know Omar was in the navy.
AngryMechaFan: Still. "Stinky" has become the pet name for Oxblood in Zeiren's eyes, so...
Arch mage144: He can sail the seven seas, Shaun.
Lithaladhwen: Hel needs a nickname.
Lithaladhwen: Aside from Hel.
UltimateKoD: So it'll be beaten out of him or he'll die.
Lithaladhwen: Which is technically a nickname.
UltimateKoD: And I like Hel.
CGNakibe: But can he set my mind at ease?
Arch mage144: Spooky.
Lithaladhwen: XD
Lithaladhwen: Stinky, Sneaky, and Spooky.
CGNakibe: We need 4 more.
AngryMechaFan: I still say Zeiren should be Mid-Boss. XP
Arch mage144: We have the fucking seven dwarves in the making.
Lithaladhwen: *LAUGH*
CGNakibe: The Seven Dwarves of Igala D.
UltimateKoD: Makura can be Stuffy.
AngryMechaFan: Either Mid-Boss or "Bishy"
Arch mage144: Or else Casper's uncles.
Lithaladhwen: Spooky Mazuo.
CGNakibe: Dammit, Brian. ;_;
UltimateKoD: And Tareen can be our Snow White.
UltimateKoD: ... Or Oxblood's girlfriend.
AngryMechaFan: Ew, no.
Arch mage144: CP posts are made in the thread in case anyone forgets =P
AngryMechaFan: Already noted it on the sheet
CGNakibe: I am like ze elephant~!
UltimateKoD: As did I.
Arch mage144: You also got miscellaneous awards.
AngryMechaFan: Saving my CP for a DEX boost
Arch mage144: Incidentally, the mech you captured is worth over 200 points.
AngryMechaFan: Heh
CGNakibe: ALSO!
UltimateKoD: Neat.
Lithaladhwen: Hee.
AngryMechaFan: I thank Helena
Arch mage144: For what that's worth to you.
Lithaladhwen: Helena appreciates being thanked.
UltimateKoD: ... nothing, cuz no one can PILOT it!
AngryMechaFan: It means that I did hellafied damage to something worth over 200 points
AngryMechaFan: <_< Don't be so sure. XP
Arch mage144: It's a machinist mech now, actually, because it doesn't have an astral symbiote.
Arch mage144: It also had 6400 HP =P
AngryMechaFan: If Nanashii gets transferred over...
UltimateKoD: ... damn.
CGNakibe: Keyword: HAD.
Arch mage144: Yeah, had.
UltimateKoD: And never to have again?
Arch mage144: The drider worked out less well than I was hoping.
CGNakibe: Now we rename it "Swiss Cheeze"
Arch mage144: Lucky dodges, mostly.
CGNakibe: It made a pretty light show, at least.
Lithaladhwen: Ja.
Arch mage144: None of you got entangled by the webbing.
Arch mage144: The follow-up to which involves grappling and heavy EMP mine placement.
AngryMechaFan: Yeah...though I think the electricity attack wouldn't have worked so well against Scelestus.
Lithaladhwen: Ew. Webby mines.
AngryMechaFan: Star Catcher?
CGNakibe: Heavy Mines? We like those.
CGNakibe: Again: MAXIMUM SPIDER POWER.
AngryMechaFan: Dare I ask? o.o;
AngryMechaFan: Fun fact: Nanashii effectively has 50 points worth of personality defects and 10 worth of an ego boost
Lithaladhwen: We can tell.
Arch mage144: Also I am exhausted.
Lithaladhwen: I have had fun, despite being a lurker the whole time.
Lithaladhwen: I like seeing my characters take horrible damage.
Lithaladhwen: If you guys didn't notice, Hel has the crazy Wolverine advantage.
UltimateKoD: I prefer emotional damage.
Lithaladhwen: Instead of a mecha or the ability to use battlesuits, she regenerates.
UltimateKoD: *points!* SHE'S A MUTIE!
Lithaladhwen: Hel: >_>;;
Lithaladhwen: Something like that!
CGNakibe: Which one, Ashley?
Lithaladhwen: Regeration (Fast).
CGNakibe: Oh, wait, 3e. The 150 point one is probably a little higher.
Lithaladhwen: *Regeneration
Lithaladhwen: It's 50 points.
AngryMechaFan: Meanwhile...Oh!
AngryMechaFan: Helena needs a new bike
CGNakibe: Sadly she does.
Arch mage144: Yeah, she'll get a replacement.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, she does. And Zeiren needs a door.
Lithaladhwen: Who do you think will get theirs first? =P
UltimateKoD: She should have made better friends with Alex. He'd have sprung. :P
Arch mage144: The door Oxblood will have to pay for, I assure you =P
Arch mage144: The bike was issued.
AngryMechaFan: ...XD
CGNakibe: Issued stuff tends to get blasted to hell all too often.
Arch mage144: They half expect you to get it destroyed.
AngryMechaFan: And EVERYONE keeps their weapons!
AngryMechaFan: Much to Tareen's chagrin
AngryMechaFan: ...not Zeiren's fault that the Dracolich was one mean fucker
Arch mage144: If she replaces things with potato guns CO Herzog will discharge her.
Arch mage144: From a cannon.
UltimateKoD: Into the sun?
AngryMechaFan: No.
AngryMechaFan: Into Omar.
CGNakibe: *Zeiren suddenly finds himself in a Navy uniform*
Lithaladhwen: Eep.
CGNakibe: Sailor Omar: Yew gots a purdy mouth. ;-*
AngryMechaFan: Zeiren: ...
CGNakibe: Sailor Omar: And I loves me a man in uniform.
AngryMechaFan: Zeiren: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! *runs! And abuses his ranks in Running!*
CGNakibe: *Suddenly those ranks of Sex Appeal are not so good, right?*
AngryMechaFan: No, no. Sex Appeal is active. XP
AngryMechaFan: Not passive. XP
Lithaladhwen: Bishounen is passive.
AngryMechaFan: Yeah
AngryMechaFan: And it's not the Uber-Bish option
Lithaladhwen: He's pretty round the clock.
CGNakibe: Heh.
AngryMechaFan: And yes. He's ALWAYS pretty!
NebbieQ: Question! What was the name of the Mech advantage?
CGNakibe: Zeiren: *sings* I'm. Too sexy for my SHIRT...
AngryMechaFan: Which one?
NebbieQ: Pretty much "Hey, you own a giant robot"
Lithaladhwen: http://mysidia.org/rpgww/MACsys
AngryMechaFan: Tek Affinity or Advanced Mecha?
AngryMechaFan: LAG
NebbieQ: Nevermind, problem solved.
NebbieQ: Thanks anyways, though.
Lithaladhwen: http://mysidia.org/rpgww/MACsys#Traits
NebbieQ: Huh, Teks look pretty interesting.
AngryMechaFan: Fun fact!
AngryMechaFan: Zeiren is two kills away from making ace!
Arch mage144: Also, www.willitblend.com has added new videos!
Lithaladhwen: Also! While I have you all in chat!
NebbieQ: Sweet! I love that site.
AngryMechaFan: ...one if you count the one that was blown up along with the first one
Lithaladhwen: Add to this, you primitive screwheads!
UltimateKoD: Yes. I took the jump. Why don't you?
CGNakibe: Because I'm a horribly lazy ass and have no idea yet how to Wiki. >:P
AngryMechaFan: TOMORROW.
Arch mage144: You don't need an advantage to own one, Neb.
Arch mage144: It is assumed in MACsys that somehow you have one.
AngryMechaFan: ...ONCE I'm DONE MAKING A MECHA TEMPLATE IN WIKI FORMAT FOR MECHA
Arch mage144: The issue of how many points its worth is another story
AngryMechaFan: Yeah. The cost is only for higher PVs
Lithaladhwen: I can't put up Hel's whole sheet on the wiki yet, but when I can it'll go up there.
UltimateKoD: Just put the grimoire on another page.
AngryMechaFan: 100-point mecha...that's...not that much.
Lithaladhwen: That's not it.
CGNakibe: Spoiler-aga?
AngryMechaFan: Free, but again, not worth that much
Lithaladhwen: Indeed.
AngryMechaFan: Hell, I think my BEST work with that was the Orovas-type sniper Armor
Lithaladhwen: Charles: I'd likely put the grimoire right up there, since we do that with PS characters.
CGNakibe: Second mecha fight went a lot better than the first.
Lithaladhwen: Indeed!
AngryMechaFan: OH yes
AngryMechaFan: Well, Oxblood put up the meatshield trick...
Lithaladhwen: We only had one person critically-incapacitated.
AngryMechaFan: ...thanks to me. XP
AngryMechaFan: *helped with mecha design*
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, well. I didn't help. *totally got plasma'd*
AngryMechaFan: Yes you did.
AngryMechaFan: You de-A2ed it so Zeiren could do damage!
Lithaladhwen: This is true!
Lithaladhwen: That's good enough for Hel.
UltimateKoD: It's like you cut off Kageros' arm.
Lithaladhwen: It's a good way to die.
CGNakibe: How very Klingon.
AngryMechaFan: ...Yeah. Taking huge volleys of laser fire. XP
Lithaladhwen: Shaun: You want to meet someone obsessed with her own death, talk to Myrnal.
Lithaladhwen: She's divvied up all her stuff in advance.
CGNakibe: Oh, yes. I'm somehow not surprised.
CGNakibe: Damian is no better.
CGNakibe: Ever wonder where all that extra D&D cash is?
CGNakibe: There's a certain little kid with some decent Ishmas toys out there. *nod nod*
Lithaladhwen: I did not, actually.
Lithaladhwen: Ah! Well, that's always good.
Lithaladhwen: Myrnal's surplus funds go to a small temple to Kazeros outside town, though the priest has been sworn on pain of death never ever to tell anyone.
Lithaladhwen: Ever.
Lithaladhwen: On pain of death. Death and pain.
CGNakibe: And possibly a painful death somewhere in there.
Lithaladhwen: Possibly. If she's feeling up to it.
Lithaladhwen: Warren's a good dude. He's a friend of a guy who tried to date her once.
UltimateKoD: ... gotta go. I'm... gonna fall over.
Lithaladhwen: Night Charles! Charles knows Warren.
Lithaladhwen: *waves*
UltimateKoD: Yes he does.
UltimateKoD: Night, kids.
Arch mage144: Later. I think sleep soon may be wise for me as well.
CGNakibe: Sleep also is definitely for Shaun.
CGNakibe: Night.
Lithaladhwen: Night all!
