You have just entered room "vesselsofsouls."
T3chn0Namagomi: Yay, it's Kai!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *I didn't get a reaction like that :-(*
Arch mage144: Kai: Where's Charles, friends? I'm tempted to call him.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hasn't shown up at ALL
T3chn0Namagomi: Meanwhile, I had pizza. Very good pizza.
Arch mage144: Kai:I'm going to call him.
Arch mage144: Kai: BRB.
Arch mage144: Hopefully Ashley can get ahold of him.
Arch mage144: Nobody home. I suppose we'll just start without him.
T3chn0Namagomi: <Bishounen with mecha upgrade and several new personal bonuses!>
T3chn0Namagomi: <AKA: Zeiren Aslan>
TheWaiChibiAngel: <Potentially more bishounen than that guy, despite not being a guy.>
CGNakibe: <Oh man, what a drag>
CGNakibe: (Charles DID say his chances of being on were iffy today)
Arch mage144: (I'm aware. He's been present for every session since day one, though, so I hate to omit him. If he doesn't show, I guess we'll just deal. If he's late and I can work him in, we'll work him in.)
OMG Priam: <PINK>
Arch mage144: <RP>
Lithaladhwen: <Death>
CGNakibe: (Chibi Death? >:P)
Arch mage144: *Thanks to the efforts of MAC Igala D's Delta unit, the marine corps, and other supporting forces, the entire astral parasite-producing lab seems to have been completely razed.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Note: I'm doing a fic on Zeiren-related events between then and now. To be posted upon completion)
T3chn0Namagomi: (It explains stuff.)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay! Does it explain his attraction to immortal angels of death?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...No.)
Lithaladhwen: (Because that's confusing, I gotta say.)
Arch mage144: *While it is quite likely that the majority of the records regarding the technology have also been destroyed, all-out war with SentanCorp's seedy underside has most definitely been sparked.*
Arch mage144: *After the destruction of the lab, a test-firing of a stolen top secret orbital weapons platform completely wasted the MAC temporary seabase, and our heroes just narrowly escaped.*
Arch mage144: *Having relocated to MAC Igala A to determine the best way to destroy the satellite and neutralize the potential threat by the traitors at SentanCorp, Delta unit is preparing for the final stages of the conflict...*
Arch mage144: *Everyone is currently somewhere in the MAC Igala A base, doing whatever the hell.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Knowing Tareen, she's probably ADDing it up somewhere.*
Lithaladhwen: *Zeiren received a note through some random messenger from Helena. It said, "He's my nephew about two-score times removed. Asked a coworker." That's all it said. Zeiren can assume what he likes."
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm telling you, there's something out there!
TheWaiChibiAngel: A secret!
TheWaiChibiAngel: A terrible secret!
T3chn0Namagomi: *And the bishounen halfdemon is currently standing back in the cavernous hangar...standing in front of a vaguely familiar Armor* o_o It's...amazing...
T3chn0Namagomi: (Of SPACE!)
Lithaladhwen: (In space?)
Lithaladhwen: (Damn it!)
Lithaladhwen: *Helena is also going to look for Serran, wherever he is.*
Arch mage144: (Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to CI for a minute while I mix a drink)
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o ...Holy...hell...what did you have done to it, uh, was it Akarusellei?
CGNakibe: *probably walking the halls about now*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Why doesn't anyone believe me!?
Lithaladhwen: *puts two fingers in her mouth and whistles to Serran*
CGNakibe: Huh? *looks up and heads over to Helena* What's up?
Lithaladhwen: I thought I'd come to you with this, since you're already Mister Secret Sources and are less likely to discount this.
T3chn0Namagomi: *standing next to him is a tan-skinned woman with short-cut, straight, sandy-brown hair, and golden, almost catlike eyes* Not too much. Nanashii's still in there, if you wondered--really, she makes it what it is, don't you think?
CGNakibe: Discount which?
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, yeah, but...what else?
Lithaladhwen: I summoned an old acquaintance of mine yesterday, friend really. He's still with the Powers That Be, and I asked him if he'd seen Makura come through. He said no, and that Makura isn't due to die for a while yet.
Lithaladhwen: So I was totally wrong. I assumed he'd be in an armor already, but eh. Thought it might make you feel better.
CGNakibe: That's one good thing, at least.
T3chn0Namagomi: *she's also wearing a lab coat and pants...with a tie* Not too much. Compacted the components, strengthened the thrusters, added some primary flight surfaces like you asked...and some extras.
Lithaladhwen: Also, I am vaguely related to Izue. I think he's my nephew on my father's side an outlandish number of times removed.
Lithaladhwen: I know you guys were curious, even if you didn't press the issue.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...What extras?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Trudging down the hall* Nobody ever believes me when I tell them. BUT I KNOW! They think I'm crazy, but I'm not crazy!
CGNakibe: I'd thought about it, honestly. But... Hm. Tell me more about this Power of yours? Because I figure that's how you ended up here in the first place.
Lithaladhwen: I'm not answering to anyone if that's what you're worried about.
T3chn0Namagomi: *pouting* You're no fun. Might as well tell you. I strengthened the generator on it, for one. For another, I managed to figure out what kind of magic Nanashii's aligned to, so to speak. So, I decided to take some advantage of it
PapatymisonN has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (Good timing.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Er, what're you saying?
Lithaladhwen: (Hey Charles. I just called you a few minutes ago. =D )
PapatymisonN: (Huh. Turns out I still have the last version of AIM.)
PapatymisonN: (And I need to give you my cell number.)
PapatymisonN: (*also, has reliable internet again!)
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, you do.)
Lithaladhwen: (And FUCK YES.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...*huff* Straight to the point, aren't we? Other dragons would appreciate this, but you're just so--
T3chn0Namagomi: *sweatdrop*
CGNakibe: Are you sure? Some folks can't get away from the job, you know.
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay, okay. She's apparently decent with the time-space aspect of things, so I decided to modify things to allow her to use that more. Added some extra weapons--including a couple of ways for her to project her magic.
Arch mage144: *Cecil, from a distance, is observing Tareen walking down the hall and talking to herself*
PapatymisonN: *Oxblood is hanging out in... let's say... the weight room!*
OMG Priam: *at the rifle range, if anyone dares to note!*
Arch mage144: Tareen!
CGNakibe: I mean, at this point I figure this guy has a grudge against all of us.
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and shakes her head* Serran. "Are you sure?" What kind of question is that?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Spins* It's terrible!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.
CGNakibe: A good one.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..I mean, what?
PapatymisonN: *making himself stronger while shirtless and more stinky! Hooray!*
Arch mage144: o_o What's terrible? I was just going to say it's great that you caught up with us at MAC Igala A!
Arch mage144: It's been a stressful few days, you know...it's good to see a familiar face.
T3chn0Namagomi: Also got rid of that shotgun as you asked, and put in a fleschette cannon. New design from Inustan.
Arch mage144: IM: Familiar for the moment, anyway.
TheWaiChibiAngel: It is. The secret.
Lithaladhwen: I'm sure. My agenda matches up with the agendas of some old friends of mine, but they aren't calling the shots and all that means is that the success of our mission is more important to me than anyone else here.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Mom told me about it, and now I'm supposed to go find it, I think.
Arch mage144: What? Secret?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..That or blow up some crazy space machine.
Arch mage144: Who's your mother?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Mom is my mom. o_o
CGNakibe: Hm.
Arch mage144: Wait, crazy space machine? You mean they sent you here...okay, biologically, sure, good definition, A equals A...
Arch mage144: ...er, I meant to ask. You mean the satellite?
Lithaladhwen: I know I make you all nervous, but there's no point in telling you my life history, all right? I'm not in any position to do so anyway.
Lithaladhwen: So give it a rest.
T3chn0Namagomi: Really, you're to thank. Didn't think anyone ever could pilot that thing after the first time I got the data.
PapatymisonN: *finishes up, and heads for his room, and passes by the (presumably) transparisteel-windowed firing range, seeing Ilya!*
CGNakibe: Hm. *nods* If you say so.
OMG Priam: *does not appear to be shooting, although she does appear to be ready to do so.*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o; I didn't even know how much of a psycho she was--that was my first time piloting a Tek armo--
OMG Priam: *staring down at the target. Staring.*
T3chn0Namagomi: I know, I know, you told me already.
PapatymisonN: *enters, pulling on his shirt* Hey.
OMG Priam: *nose twitches, brows lower just a little.*
Arch mage144: I assume that's what you're talking about, anyway.
PapatymisonN: *pulls on the earphones, picks out the biggest handgun he can find* Best sheet buys lunch. You on?
CGNakibe: In a way... its nice to have a good idea of what your job is here, Helena.
PapatymisonN: *ear protection
Arch mage144: But what's this about a secret? The satellite is kind of secret, or at least it was...now it's all over the evening holocast.
CGNakibe: Its nice at least to know that SOMEONE here takes their goddamn job seriously. -.-;;
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyway, I guess my offer's done. Good luck with her--you seem to be the only one who can actually pilot it.
Lithaladhwen: Ghosts have always been my jurisdiction. If I were to do anything less than this, I'd betray my very nature. 'kay?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...No that's not it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Mom just said there's a terrible secret...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh, no! I forgot, I'm not supposed to tell anyone!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Quick, find some stairs!
Arch mage144: ...well...what?
OMG Priam: .....
OMG Priam: I have no need to show off to the likes of you.
Arch mage144: *looks around* I'm not sure where the nearest stairwell is. Maybe down that way.
T3chn0Namagomi: Er, yeah. See you later, maybe?
CGNakibe: Always? o.o How long have you been at this, Helena?
TheWaiChibiAngel: MOVE MOVE MOVE! >_<
Arch mage144: *points to the glowing "emergency exit" sign hanging from the ceiling*
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe. *walks off*
PapatymisonN: Fine. I have to ask, though.
Lithaladhwen: My whole life. Ghosts have always been my problem to solve.
Arch mage144: What? Okay, I'm not sure what's going on here, but...*starts walking toward the emergency exit*
PapatymisonN: You're not fond of orcs, are ya?
TheWaiChibiAngel: I have to protect you, and I need stairs to do it!
CGNakibe: Hundred years? Two hundred, maybe? Either way. *shgus*
T3chn0Namagomi: *continues staring at the Armor* o.o Wow...
OMG Priam: At least you're a good guesser.
Lithaladhwen: Before I came along, they were still a problem but no one was solving it. *she grins* So how old do you think I am?
Arch mage144: ...protect me? From what? I'm pretty sure we're safe in the base, unless that satellite's refractory period is shorter than we thought...
T3chn0Namagomi: (Description comes in later!)
CGNakibe: At least a hundred years, I'd say.
Lithaladhwen: Why so old?
TheWaiChibiAngel: No, from the secret!
Lithaladhwen: *can't hold in a smirk*
PapatymisonN: And you're a prejudiced bitch who has no right or reason to fly with me.
PapatymisonN: But, I've learned recently that I gotta not let assholes like you get to me.
Arch mage144: ...it can't be that bad, Tareen.
PapatymisonN: *aims* Just gonna get me tossed out.
Arch mage144: IM: Paranoid schizophrenia, perhaps?
CGNakibe: If I had to look at you I'd say you were still around my age. But... to be blunt you're pretty incompetent with the tech stuff, which no one else around here would be.
Arch mage144: IM: ...treatment compliance is going to be a nightmare...
Lithaladhwen: Fair.
CGNakibe: You ask more questions than I do. Good questions if you don't know your way around.
Lithaladhwen: And I always pegged myself at mid-thirties. You're flattering me.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Yeah, it would probably hurt to get protected by the stairs anyway.
Arch mage144: ...yeah.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* I do try. Wrong demeanor for someone in their twenties or thirties, though.
Lithaladhwen: Sure. So where am I from if not here?
OMG Priam: You don't know much about the military, do you.
PapatymisonN: (Quick question, GM... firing range ... Roll vs. Guns, ya?)
Arch mage144: (Sure. Hold on a second.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oi, wait!
CGNakibe: I figure you're from here, actually. You did mention it yourself when we arrived here.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm? Still want to talk me?
T3chn0Namagomi: *to
CGNakibe: But I figure you've been away a hundred years minimum if the newer stuff still confuses you.
PapatymisonN: Oh, dear sweet brainy pink person. Inform me! Pull me out of my ignorance! e_e
CGNakibe: Probably just back, too.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* So far you're pretty on-track, but you're not taking your hypotheses far enough. Shall we go someplace less..... oh... less "middle of the hallway" and you can share your thoughts?
Arch mage144: (You're at -7 for range and target size if you don't spend time aiming.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Just a question. It was called the Scelestus before, but what's it called now?
CGNakibe: *nods* Sure.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Begins off*
PapatymisonN: (He did spend the time, actually.)
CGNakibe: Anyplace you're more comfortable?
Lithaladhwen: Commons is fine, as long as you don't flip out.
Arch mage144: (One second of aiming gets you +Accuracy to your skill. A blaster rifle has an 8 for accuracy.)
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Haven't yet.
T3chn0Namagomi: (He didn't pick a blaster rifle)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Picked some sort of big handgun)
Lithaladhwen: I know. Thank the gods.
PapatymisonN: (He got the biggest handgun he could find at a normal gun range.)
Arch mage144: (In which case the accuracy is still 8, because I misread the table.)
PapatymisonN: (No problemo.)
Lithaladhwen: *They head to the commons, and along the way, Helena pulls some red licorice out of her pocket.*
Lithaladhwen: *eat*
Arch mage144: (You're at +1 net skill, +1 more for each additional round you spend aiming up to +3.)
CGNakibe: The good stuff, that.
OMG Priam: I see that despite your attitude, you don't particularly care to break away from stereotypes. One step forward and one step back leaves you right where you started.
CGNakibe: *scrunches up his face* Never was the one to like the black licorice.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, want to know?
Lithaladhwen: *She's got a big long twizzler-esque licorice string hanging out of her mouth, and she nods enthusiastically.* Candy is good.
Lithaladhwen: The black is all right, but it turns my mouth weird colors.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Yes, I do.
Arch mage144: Yeah, I don't need the stairs to protect me.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh, you do.
Lithaladhwen: *They arrive at the commons, oh my!*
Arch mage144: ...alright, maybe I do...
TheWaiChibiAngel: You really, really, really do.
Lithaladhwen: Wanna grab a table in some secluded corner of mystery and shadowiness?
CGNakibe: Well, the changing colors is always popular with the kids, at least.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...It's up to you. Model number's SMA2-n74x/NTp.
Arch mage144: IM: How exactly do you medicate amorphs? I need to go do some research.
CGNakibe: Not many good shadows here, but hey.
Lithaladhwen: *snort* Yeah. I used to keep candy around the office for kids.
Arch mage144: (Have some numbers.)
CGNakibe: (SOUL CANDY)
Lithaladhwen: *She sits down and gestures to a chair for him*
PapatymisonN: I don't change for anyone. I'm not going to avoid or run towards "stereotypes" because they're not the in thing.
PapatymisonN: *BLAM*
CGNakibe: *sits down as well*
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 2 2
Lithaladhwen: So, I know nothing about technology, but I'm from around Doma. This combination leads you to over one hundred years as my age.
Lithaladhwen: I think that's where we left off.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Cookie to the person who guesses what the NTp stands for!)
CGNakibe: Yeah, that's right.
PapatymisonN: I am me. No one else. If you don't agree, too bad for you.
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is fun. He's a sharp one. And I don't think he'll freak out, either. It may be safe to just let him figure it out.
Lithaladhwen: IM: At least then no one could say I sprang it on him.
Arch mage144: (I'm assuming that's good enough to hit. What's your effective skill?)
PapatymisonN: (14.)
CGNakibe: It would take that long at least to not keep up with the general technology.
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, thanks, I guess.
CGNakibe: Although what's bugging me.
CGNakibe: *shrugs and leans back in the chair*
Lithaladhwen: *head tilt*
T3chn0Namagomi: *scratches his chin* What to call it, what to call it...
Arch mage144: *Oxblood strikes the ring just outside the bullseye*
CGNakibe: I'm no mage, but even now every source I have tells me that extending your life is HARD. Even for a skilled necromancer.
Lithaladhwen: You're really not supposed to do it. Bad for the cycle.
Arch mage144: (Gotta keep the cycle going.)
Arch mage144: ...right, well...
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Some folks will try anything once, though.
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks off, out of the hangar! And into a random hallway!*
PapatymisonN: ... now come on, pinky. Prove your superiority and beat that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Trudging off!*
Arch mage144: ...Tareen, have you ever considered counseling?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Counseling?
Arch mage144: Yeah, you know...where you talk to someone about how you're thinking and feeling.
CGNakibe: I'm SURE you're a necromancer mostly, though. You said so yourself, and its not like I have proof otherwise.
CGNakibe: And certainly a good one.
Lithaladhwen: *nods* Thanks.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh!
CGNakibe: So the real question becomes why you look like you're in your early thirties at best?
T3chn0Namagomi: *ends up walking into the hallway where Cecil and Tareen are, due to a whim. Still deep in thought.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I tried that a loooooong time ago.
Arch mage144: I see. How did it go?
TheWaiChibiAngel: The guy said I made his head hurt.
Arch mage144: ...oh, alright.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Then he made me fall asleep and they went into my head and they were all "This kid is CRAZYNUTS". And peanutbutter.
T3chn0Namagomi: *makes a passing gesture to the two*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Dread Pirate Spoberts. o_o
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, that would be it.
Arch mage144: o_O The who?
Arch mage144: *waves idly to Zeiren; Cecil looks like he's incredibly confused by something*
CGNakibe: ... how far off is 100 anyway?
Lithaladhwen: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: Pretty far.
OMG Priam: ....
Lithaladhwen: But closer than I think most people assume.
OMG Priam: Hmph.
OMG Priam: Even if I hit it straight on, I'm using a long rifle. You wouldn't admit defeat regardless. Don't waste my time.
CGNakibe: Damn. But then you weren't surprised that I said it, either.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Dread Pirate Spoberts.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pretty clear. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: *by some virtue of twistedness, this also leads to the commons*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, no. I knew that someone would figure it out. Zeiren already knows, but that's because I had to tell him or else he'd make some big mistakes.
CGNakibe: So that's why you've been getting along a little awkwardly lately.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* Poor Zeiren must have been crushed.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yeah, nice things for Zeiren to walk in on*
Lithaladhwen: e_e It's not his fault. I'm sure I did something to bring it on. He understands now.
CGNakibe: I'm... pretty sure you didn't. Knowing him he probably likes you by now. I mean, you're competent, dedicated, and more than a little mysterious.
PapatymisonN: ... you are an absolute charmer.
Arch mage144: It's clear, but I don't know who that is. o_o
Lithaladhwen: *sighs and covers her eyes with one hand*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: *stops*
CGNakibe: If I had to guess, I'd say you'd be his type. *chuckles*
OMG Priam: Can't say the same for you.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Just standing there, listening from a distance, yes*
CGNakibe: So how's five-hundred?
PapatymisonN: Oh, if ya got to know me, you'd think me a peach. e_e
Lithaladhwen: I don't know. He's a good guy. I just don't want him to get into a bad situation because of me.
Lithaladhwen: And five hundred isn't high enough. Triple it and you're closer.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
CGNakibe: .... *whistles* Damn well preserved, if I must say.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I just told you. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: *a hint of a smile creeps onto the halfdemon's face*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Do you need to know who...*Thinks*
CGNakibe: But that has to do with the job, right?
Lithaladhwen: You know what my job is, then?
Arch mage144: You told me a name, but not anything about the person in question, Tareen. *nods*
CGNakibe: *shrugs* Honestly can't say. I can guess, at least.
Lithaladhwen: Guess.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Do you need to know who the president is?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Of SPACE?
Lithaladhwen: (Zaphod is still in office, right?)
CGNakibe: You've expressed special interest in two things. Ghosts, and the afterlife.
Lithaladhwen: (I mean, he's just this guy, you know?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Him and his "Don't vote for Stupid" campaign!)
CGNakibe: If I had to guess, I'd have to say that there was a cabal of necromancers like yourself. And while that'd scare most people, its not so bad.
Arch mage144: Space has a president? *blinks*
Arch mage144: The whole thing?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Oh, how wrong he is...
OMG Priam: *is leaving that one alone*
CGNakibe: You're more worried about how people will affect their afterlife, possibly studied it. Heck, you probably know more about it than I do.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Why wouldn't it?
Arch mage144: I...didn't vote for him.
Arch mage144: IM: That's not a great answer, but I have no idea how to falsify that claim.
CGNakibe: Assuming your associates are like minded, and they probably are since you talked to them about Makura, then its almost a noble order of some sort. Dedicated to the proper respect of souls and their passing.
PapatymisonN: Anyways... *sets the safety on the gun* Got better things to do with my time than talk to ... you.
Arch mage144: *The intercom suddenly flares to life, squawking in every corner of the base*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Something...similar to that.
Lithaladhwen: *smiles a little*
PapatymisonN: ... that's our cue.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Because you're not OLD enough!
Arch mage144: Com: Delta Unit, please report to meeting room seven. Repeating message. Delta Unit, please report to meeting room seven.
Lithaladhwen: Aw, crap.
T3chn0Namagomi: That's us, I guess.
CGNakibe: And there's work, calling on time.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Is that still me?
Lithaladhwen: *stands and... sees Zeiren*
Lithaladhwen: Hi.
Arch mage144: I think it is, Tareen.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh.
CGNakibe: ... so how long were you listening in, Zeiren? *stands*
TheWaiChibiAngel: SPACE.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Runs*
PapatymisonN: *tosses the gun to Ilya* See you in there.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not at all. Just walked in.
PapatymisonN: *heads to Meeting Room 7*
OMG Priam: *goes there!*
OMG Priam: (*Goes to take Neb to work!*)
T3chn0Namagomi: *walks to der Room of Meetings*
CGNakibe: Riiight. *heads to the meeting room*
Lithaladhwen: *heads off as well*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *SHOWS UP THERE!* ..Hi, everybody!
T3chn0Namagomi: Holy crap, you're alive.
Lithaladhwen: Tareen! Hey!
Lithaladhwen: Good to see you.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Wow. It... kind of is. Huh.
CGNakibe: Hey Tareen.
PapatymisonN: *sitting at the desk* Hey, Tareen.
PapatymisonN: Miss us?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Why wouldn't I be? o_o
Arch mage144: *Commanding Officer Heinreich is sitting at the head of the meeting room table with a very slight grin*
PapatymisonN: o.o ^_^ Heh...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Hey, are they comin' with me?
T3chn0Namagomi: (Argh bathroom break) *nods in greeting to the CO* Oi.
Arch mage144: *He's dressed in a green uniform for the occasion, and wearing a Delta Unit patch, of all things*
CGNakibe: Zei, have a little more respect. *slouch!*
Arch mage144: H: *shrugs*
Lithaladhwen: *tosses him a little salute* Afternoon.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Spinmore* Are you going, too!?
PapatymisonN: o.o
Arch mage144: H: *salutes* Afternoon, Special Ops Mage Mazuo.
PapatymisonN: IM: Our patch. Neat.
Arch mage144: H: *appears to be counting* Is everyone present and accounted for?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Presents?
CGNakibe: Sir, yes sir.
Arch mage144: H: *frowns a bit* No, Investigational Engineer Nueva. Not presents. Present.
PapatymisonN: IM: No. ... sorry, Redford.
Arch mage144: H: Let me preface our meeting by saying that I am aware of the reputation you have earned. I am very pleased to be working with a unit that has achieved the things that you have.
Lithaladhwen: *blinks and says nothing*
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah, come on, Ser. It's not THAT bad, is it?
T3chn0Namagomi: *sitting*
Arch mage144: H: However, this is a poor time for self-congratulation. The situation grows more dire by the minute.
PapatymisonN: IM: I don't know how the hell we got a reputation. It must be because we're mostly still alive....
CGNakibe: IM: Yeah, its worse.
Arch mage144: *a three-dimensional schematic fwips into existence behind CO Heinreich, confined within a greenish grid*
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah...Izue the psycho-asshole's looking for us so he can satellite us to death...
T3chn0Namagomi: Personally.
Lithaladhwen: Makura's alive, though. If that makes people feel better.
T3chn0Namagomi: It does, actually.
Lithaladhwen: He isn't bonded with an astral symbiote or anything like I thought he'd be by now.
PapatymisonN: ... eh.
Lithaladhwen: I guess he's not due to die for a while, at the risk of jinxing him.
T3chn0Namagomi: I miss the egomaniacal bastard. ^^
Lithaladhwen: He's a good kid.
Arch mage144: H: *quirks an eyebrow* While the subject of Private Kuragari is certainly interesting...
T3chn0Namagomi: Right
T3chn0Namagomi: Tangent over with.
CGNakibe: Won't matter to us if we can't get out of this mess we're in right now.
Arch mage144: H: *points to the schematic* If only because it would inject a little levity into this scenario, I would like to be able to say that "many halflings died to bring us this information."
T3chn0Namagomi: *snrrks*
Lithaladhwen: (PFFFF)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Huh?
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Arch mage144: H: In truth, no one died, seeing as how the schematics were our property to begin with. Probably better that way. *slight smile*
PapatymisonN: ... Yes, it was, sir.
CGNakibe: Heh.
Arch mage144: H: ...but there was no way I could pass up the Space Conflict reference.
PapatymisonN: IM: ... you GOTTA be kidding me. o.o
Arch mage144: H: In other news, this is the satellite in question. *numerous arrows, scripts, and markings phase into existence in the diagram*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I am assuming from the start that I'll understand exactly none of this.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Arch mage144: H: As you can see, it collects solar energy and focuses it into an intense and directed beam. I should have no need to explain the potential danger of that function.
T3chn0Namagomi: And this thing likes to laser things, looking down at us from all the way up there.
Lithaladhwen: We remember. It was, like... days ago.
CGNakibe: Oh, so its solar powered?
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I had to say it)
CGNakibe: How long have they had it into position?
Arch mage144: H: We have no idea. At present, analysts are attempting to extrapolate from known rocket launches when it was installed.
T3chn0Namagomi: More importantly...where is it, or where is the control center?
Arch mage144: H: An additional complication is the fact that this satellite also possesses an advanced jamming system that not only prevents radio communication for miles, but it can disable all forms of electronics.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm...so a direct attack doesn't work
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..This is just like that movie. o_o
PapatymisonN: ... damn.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Where the guy thinks he's really cool and sleeps with a bunch of women while saving the world but he only does it to hide an underlying feeling of inadequacy and uselessness.
Arch mage144: H: I believe that the satellite's construction was actually inspired by a super spy film, Investigational Engineer Nueva. *chuckles*
CGNakibe: That leaves infiltrating it. Which is no doubt tricky.
Arch mage144: H: You may have something there.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or killing the command center.
T3chn0Namagomi: Unless that thing's controlled internally.
Arch mage144: H: Headquarters has a very...interesting idea, to say the least.
CGNakibe: Probably internally controlled.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Die Another Day was an awful movie, too. :-( )
Arch mage144: H: The control site is on the ground somewhere and requires a set of access codes.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...that being, commander?
Arch mage144: (I was actually thinking of Goldeneye.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Goldeneye worked differently; Icarus was the one that collected sunlight.)
Arch mage144: H: Somehow, the enemy must have found a way to bypass them.
Arch mage144: (Ah, good call.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (..How many times has Bond blown up satelites, anyway?)
Arch mage144: (...maybe three?)
CGNakibe: (Not nearly enough if Hollywood has its way)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (At least)
Arch mage144: H: We have yet to locate the ground signalling station.
CGNakibe: (Also: I enjoyed Goldeneye. I need to go buy it.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Goldeneye was one of the better ones, BUT LESS OOC)
Lithaladhwen: IM: I wonder...
CGNakibe: It can't be too far from their base, when I think about it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Haxed our megahurts?!
Arch mage144: H: Headquarters actually has a rather interesting idea.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, this idea is...?
CGNakibe: I like interesting.
Arch mage144: H: However, we need to disable the ground signalling station before it will work. Which means locating it. So far, we have not had luck with that.
Arch mage144: H: The idea in question involves a bit of space travel. As it turns out one of your unit members is the ideal astronaut.
Lithaladhwen: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Waves her arms around* That's me!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...IM: ...Tareen?
Lithaladhwen: IM: ................
Lithaladhwen: Well. Excelelnt.
Lithaladhwen: *excellent
Arch mage144: H: Tareen's...unusual...physiology allows her to survive in space without oxygen.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Yeah...
PapatymisonN: ... it does.
PapatymisonN: o.o
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm Awesome Girl. And I can breathe in space.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sage nod*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
CGNakibe: ... Uh oh.
Arch mage144: H: The satellite, according to the specifications, has a refractory period of 48 hours.
Arch mage144: H: If we fail to locate the ground control station within the next day, another strike is inevitable.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, we send Tareen in to screw it up, while the rest of us...?
Arch mage144: H: No. The ground station must be disabled before the satellite can be destroyed, or its automatic defense systems will shoot down any approaching craft.
Arch mage144: *arrows indicate laser batteries mounted on the satellite*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Hn.
T3chn0Namagomi: We just make it possible for her to screw it up, I see.
Arch mage144: (BRB.)
CGNakibe: Double strike mission.
CGNakibe: Everything fails on them at once.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm...sounds interesting enough. So, by disable, are we going to be simply blowing it up, or sneaking in, once we find it?
TheWaiChibiAngel: And I get to into space!
Arch mage144: H: That depends on the location of the ground control station.
Arch mage144: H: If it is located in a sensitive area...simply "blowing it up" may not be an option.
T3chn0Namagomi: Even with an attack by Armors?
PapatymisonN: ... it's an elementary school, isn't it?
PapatymisonN: Crafty bastards... e_e
Arch mage144: H: I said we had no idea, Private
Lithaladhwen: *shrugs* I'll just do what you need me to do. I don't organize things.
Arch mage144: H: At the moment, we have...a couple potential options for locating it.
Arch mage144: H: ...one of which...I must say I have no warm feelings for.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
PapatymisonN: ...
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't have any divination that would be useful. I mean, unless it's within a mile or so, at which point we're sitting on top of it. That I think we'd notice.
PapatymisonN: IM: Old folks home. BASTARDS. e_e
TheWaiChibiAngel: Asking door to door?
Arch mage144: H: One option is to allow the satellite to fire two more times, giving us three transmission points so that we can triangulate the signal's position.
TheWaiChibiAngel: It worked when I lost Nibbles.
Lithaladhwen: That sounds pretty solid.
Lithaladhwen: What's the other one?
CGNakibe: That also sounds pretty nasty.
T3chn0Namagomi: Problem with that is that that gives us two more times to attack us
T3chn0Namagomi: *him
CGNakibe: Third shot'll be worse than the first.
T3chn0Namagomi: Much worse
Lithaladhwen: There are always possibilities.
Arch mage144: H: This part I need your help with. Do you have any idea how we might locate Izue, or perhaps how anyone potentially close to him could be located?
Lithaladhwen: Uh........ *blink*
Arch mage144: (IQ rolls.)
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 5 1
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 6 5
T3chn0Namagomi: (10 < 12)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 4
PapatymisonN: (Fail. Big surprise.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (...)
Lithaladhwen: You want me, to... like.... call him on Makura's cell and invite him to a reunion?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Did..)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Did Tareen just pass an IQ roll?)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 4 5
PapatymisonN: o_o Not a damn clue.
Lithaladhwen: (Pass.)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 4 1
Lithaladhwen: (10<15. So yeah.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Pass in my case too)
CGNakibe: (11< 15. Pass)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (..She did)
Arch mage144: (It occurs to the passers that he may still indeed have Makura's cell phone.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Tareen just passed an IQ roll.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: OH OH!
Lithaladhwen: That was a rhetorical question.
Arch mage144: (Except Tareen, who has no way to know that)
CGNakibe: ... wait.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...He called on Makura's phone.
TheWaiChibiAngel: You could go door to door!
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I think.
CGNakibe: Which means he still HAS Makura's phone.
Arch mage144: H: ...door to...wait, Makura's phone?
Lithaladhwen: ....Oh, Lord.
PapatymisonN: ... so... that means...?
Lithaladhwen: I'm horrified by it, but I think it wouldn't be the worst idea ever.
CGNakibe: I like it when bad tricks go good too. ^^
TheWaiChibiAngel: Door to door!
T3chn0Namagomi: Could possibly trace it. He triangulated our position with Serran's, we can do the same back, I think
PapatymisonN: .... that works.
Arch mage144: H: Phone transmission satellites are numerous. Zeiren is quite right.
Lithaladhwen: I'll call him, but someone will have to work the phone. I don't use cell phones. Not these kind.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, I used to have one, but it was way different.
Arch mage144: H: Calling him may also give away our position, but the satellite should be unable to fire for at least 24 hours.
PapatymisonN: (Rotary.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: How come we never go door to door? ._.
Lithaladhwen: Well, then I'll go someplace else, and worst case scenario, I'm the only one who gets blown up.
PapatymisonN: Because it won't work, Tareen.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Gods help him if he kills me. I'm much less dangerous in this body.
CGNakibe: Better idea.
TheWaiChibiAngel: You don't know that!
CGNakibe: We could call him from someplace else.
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed.
Arch mage144: H: *nods* Very well, then.
T3chn0Namagomi: And if it can't fire...he'll only have wrong info to work off of.
CGNakibe: If you have someone skilled at doing so, we could set up a relay.
PapatymisonN: Yeah... let him think it's a cell tower in the middle of nowhere...
Arch mage144: H: I imagine that Sentancorp knows where MAC Igala A is. Kamen Kuragari's son attended it, after all.
Arch mage144: H: But it seems as though Izue is searching for you.
T3chn0Namagomi: Exactly.
Lithaladhwen: If I call him, I bet I can keep him on the phone.
Arch mage144: H: Also, if I may.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
CGNakibe: Sir?
Arch mage144: H: Sentancorp per se is still not our enemy. Only the drow sympathizers.
Lithaladhwen: *eyeroll*
Lithaladhwen: All right. Noted.
T3chn0Namagomi: Splinter faction, yeah.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Though it would be safer if we just killed them all and let Kevin sort them out.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...two people I am worried about potentially having to fight.
Lithaladhwen: (Had to do it.)
T3chn0Namagomi: First is obviously Izue.
CGNakibe: Second is Makura.
T3chn0Namagomi: Wrong.
PapatymisonN: (Kevin: ... oh great. WHY is it that Zea's ALWAYS behind backlogs... oh, OK, folks, sit over there, I'll be right with you...)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel: Well, excuse me for being efficient.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Makura said he comes from a family of Teks.
PapatymisonN: (Kevin: YOU KILLED AN OFFICE BUILDING.)
Lithaladhwen: What's-his-face Dragon-Bot is still missing, isn't he?
T3chn0Namagomi: That too, but there's a decent chance his father might be, if you think about it.
Arch mage144: H: Kagero Kuragari? Yes, although his mecha is still being stored at MAC Igala D, if I recall correctly.
Lithaladhwen: (Kagero=Green Ranger)
T3chn0Namagomi: Could requisition a new one.
Arch mage144: H: I think there is some interest in refurbishing it.
Arch mage144: H: Perhaps.
CGNakibe: Hm.
Lithaladhwen: You can refurbish it. The symbiote may return in another week or so.
PapatymisonN: (Elsa=Rita)
CGNakibe: IM: Am I wrong? I really hope so.
Lithaladhwen: (Kamen=Lord Zed?)
CGNakibe: (She's certainly Repulsive enough now)
PapatymisonN: (Although she's a bit prettier...)
Arch mage144: (Not anymore.)
Lithaladhwen: (So wait. Who's Kimberly?)
PapatymisonN: (Hel.)
Lithaladhwen: (She's not dating Kagero.)
PapatymisonN: (No, wait. Ilya.)
PapatymisonN: (she's a spy!
PapatymisonN: )
Lithaladhwen: (There you go.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XP)
Arch mage144: (Speaking of which.)
Arch mage144: H: Private Duvall? You have been notably silent this entire meeting. Do you have anything to add?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I can't believe I'm planning to call Izue. First time I'll have spoken to family in.... oh, man. Centuries?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ooh, can I do that?
Lithaladhwen: IM: Crazy.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Priam said he had to transport Neb)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Messing with that thing?
Arch mage144: (Oh. I missed that.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Dude, that was a long time ago)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I assumed you got it :-( )
Arch mage144: (I am apparently not that observant.)
Lithaladhwen: (9:18)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I knew I should have made the comment about how we were yelling profanity out the front door at one another as he left)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (And how nobody cared)
Arch mage144: (Well, I'll wait for him to come back before anything truly interesting happens)
Arch mage144: (Gives me time to get another beverage of some sort.)
T3chn0Namagomi: But, yeah. Makura's father's a possibility here. Being a corporate head...doubt he's done much piloting, but you can never be sure, and besides. He owns the company. LOT of money to sink.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (He may be a short bit. He's getting food for the current collective, which is the two of us, Reako, and BW)
CGNakibe: You know, I'd never thought about him either.
PapatymisonN: We didn't get lucky and blow him up when we took out the lab, then, huh?
CGNakibe: But yeah, the whole family is tek-capable.
T3chn0Namagomi: Doubt it.
T3chn0Namagomi: But, yeah. His personal armor, if he has one, is likely to be something that I think none of us want to fight...
PapatymisonN: There's a lot of things I didn't want to fight.
CGNakibe: True.
PapatymisonN: I then cut into them and made sure they were pilotless or exploded.
T3chn0Namagomi: I doubt that they were as big of money-sinks as this could be.
CGNakibe: You've got the whole of a corporation behind the construction of a weapon, that'd definitely be it.
PapatymisonN: Well, we're... not horrible.
PapatymisonN: We'll survive.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hopefully. o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah, it's not impossible. Doesn't change the fact that I really wouldn't want to fight it.
Arch mage144: Cecil: You know.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
TheWaiChibiAngel: I do?
CGNakibe: I
CGNakibe: I'd want to study it, really.
Arch mage144: C: We're not really sure if Kamen is even a good pilot. I think it's premature to worry about it, no matter what Makura said. It's quite possible that he was exaggerating.
PapatymisonN: Money buys training, too.
Arch mage144: C: Before Elsa and Kagero, the only one I knew for sure was a tek was his older brother Benten.
T3chn0Namagomi: He's still a Tek, and money--
T3chn0Namagomi: ...we haven't fought Benten yet.
Arch mage144: C: He's been conspicuously absent...
PapatymisonN: (*surpresses all alien superhero watch jokes*)
CGNakibe: I don't like it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Kamen might not be a good pilot, but he could compensate through the Armor itself. As for Benten...I don't want to know.
CGNakibe: Lots to worry about regardless of everything.
Lithaladhwen: It is possible that his whole family has not gone insane.
PapatymisonN: ... it is.
PapatymisonN: I guess.
Arch mage144: C: ...Benten was at the top of his class when he was in the MAC Academy, if I remember correctly. Somewhere in the top ten students. One of his year's best pilots.
OMG Priam: (I AM HEAH)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...ugh.
T3chn0Namagomi: Let's hope he's on our side
Arch mage144: C: Makura had a lot to live up to when he joined MAC, as I understand it...
Arch mage144: C: ...I think it's part of why he worries so much about being the best.
CGNakibe: .... that explains the attitude.
T3chn0Namagomi: Explains a lot.
PapatymisonN: ... uh huh.
CGNakibe: Hard to beat perfection.
CGNakibe: Real or imagined.
PapatymisonN: IM: He's still an asshole.
Lithaladhwen: *shrug*
Arch mage144: C: I give him the benefit of the doubt because I know what it's like to be under pressure. He's still arrogant and overly judgmental.
Arch mage144: C: He's our ally, though, despite suspicions.
T3chn0Namagomi: That's for sure.
CGNakibe: Also true.
Arch mage144: C: In any case, Commander Heinreich...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I still can't believe Sentai Corp is the bad guys. ._.
PapatymisonN: SentanCorp.
TheWaiChibiAngel: That's what I said.
Arch mage144: H: Yes. Mage Mazuo...you said you were going to call Izue, and that you wanted to do it away from the main grounds of MAC Igala A.
PapatymisonN: You- y'know what? You did say SentanCorp. Sorry for contradicting you.
Lithaladhwen: Sure.
Lithaladhwen: I can do that.
Arch mage144: H: Alright. What would the rest of you like to do?
PapatymisonN: Help find that ground control base, frankly...
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...what can we do? I guess remain on watch until further information comes in.
PapatymisonN: Then... blow it to hell.
PapatymisonN: But till then...
CGNakibe: We're probably going to need to guard against attack just in case.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< That's if it's above ground.
Lithaladhwen: Guard with what?
CGNakibe: An excellent question.
Lithaladhwen: Hide under your desk, here comes the space laser!
T3chn0Namagomi: Even if it can't fire yet, they can still send Armors.
CGNakibe: *chuckles*
TheWaiChibiAngel: What?!
OMG Priam: If it's above ground, can't it be bombed?
CGNakibe: Hey, if the desk is armor-plated...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Makes to jump under a chair*
Lithaladhwen: That's one hell of a desk.
PapatymisonN: Yeah. Bunker busters.
Arch mage144: H: We do have to find it first.
T3chn0Namagomi: It'd still need an Armor escort anyway.
Arch mage144: H: It may not be...bombable.
Lithaladhwen: Okay. So I can go wherever with someone who knows how to trace the call. Then I can go talk to... this Izue.
T3chn0Namagomi: Armor or fighter escort...
T3chn0Namagomi: Or, hell. Just both.
Arch mage144: H: We can send you several miles away in a hoverjeep, Mage Mazuo, if that's your preference.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah, sure. Whatever makes you feel safe and cozy away from the laser targeting.
CGNakibe: Their base would likely be in a civillian area just out of spite.
Arch mage144: H: It has been the strategy so far.
CGNakibe: *w to Helena* And in case you were wondering. Sattelite's solar powered, meaning that as long as it gets sunlight it can charge up.
CGNakibe: *w* And in space, its pretty much always gonna get that.
CGNakibe: *w* Not much to block it.
Lithaladhwen: Thanks, Serran. And you know, sir? To be frank?
Lithaladhwen: My patience for that strategy, the "hiding behind civilians" strategy.... it runs out much faster than I think they're counting on.
Lithaladhwen: They're really hoping to test our conviction here.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Huh?
Arch mage144: H: I understand your sentiments. However, there are limits to what the conviction of the military can achieve.
Arch mage144: H: There are certain types of losses that are considered to be unacceptable.
Arch mage144: H: Hopefully, we will have no need to make those kinds of decisions.
Lithaladhwen: Eh. That would be nice.
OMG Priam: Is there a way to jam or override the command signals for the satellite array, to give us extra time?
TheWaiChibiAngel: WAIT.
T3chn0Namagomi: Codes to override that they bypassed.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wait, wait, wait!
Arch mage144: H: An excellent suggestion, Private Duvall.
Arch mage144: H: What is it, Tareen?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Who are you? *To Duvall*
Lithaladhwen: *grins*
Arch mage144: H: ...I suppose Private Duvall should introduce herself.
T3chn0Namagomi: Someone who got shunted from the Marines after basic, rather than during.
OMG Priam: It seems I need no introduction.
T3chn0Namagomi: Acts that way, anyway.
Lithaladhwen: ....
Lithaladhwen: Thanks, kids.
CGNakibe: IM: Rude, arrogant, logical.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Huh?
Lithaladhwen: Anyway, Tareen, she's a member of our squad. She's been helpful so far, and Zeiren is just being rude.
CGNakibe: IM: Its ALMOST like we have Makura back.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (PRIAM NEEDS TO STOP NAMING HIS CHARACTER AFER ACTORS)
Arch mage144: (Clea Duvall?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (EXPECIALLY ONES WHO WERE IN SECOND HAND LIONS AS OLD MEN)
PapatymisonN: IM: She's also a rude, prejudiced bitch. But, hey. gotta play NICE...
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Pardon:-)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That wasn't Robert Redford, that was Michael Caine.)
OMG Priam: (Hahaha, Shini thinks I watch movies =D )
Arch mage144: (I have a Gaera main character with the surname Redford.)
Arch mage144: (The two are not related, however, and Priam's character with that surname is presently dead.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Back to RP?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (You sure as hell watch what I bring home and tell you to watch :-( )
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
OMG Priam: (Since when?)
OMG Priam: (RP kay =D )
Arch mage144: H: Private Duvall, your suggestion is definitely under consideration. If we can locate the source, it will be even easier to find some sort of jamming frequency.
CGNakibe: Well, now that we've gotten THAT out of the way...
Arch mage144: H: Unless any of you are sufficiently competent computer hackers to do it yourselves...
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oh. Yeah. Me. That's totally me.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Right there.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Suuuuuure.
Arch mage144: (That's Hel. 1337 hax0r.)
CGNakibe: Hm.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Sure as hell not trying that shit.
OMG Priam: *waits for the rest of that sentence*
CGNakibe: Actually, I could do that.
Arch mage144: *That sentence is not getting finished*
T3chn0Namagomi: >_>
Arch mage144: H: Is that so, Private?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...hm. Well, that helps, I guess.
CGNakibe: I'd rather not do it alone, sir.
CGNakibe: But I can certainly work at it.
Arch mage144: H: You would not be.
T3chn0Namagomi: (I am being occupied by a cat)
Arch mage144: H: I will take note of your aptitude.
PapatymisonN: ... anything else, Sir?
Arch mage144: H: No. Delta unit, if there are no further questions or concerns, I recommend that we commence operation Orbital Neutralization.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Operation ON...
T3chn0Namagomi: (Virtual-ON!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: So..
TheWaiChibiAngel: What do I need to do? o_o
TheWaiChibiAngel: Other than be awesome and breathe in space.
Arch mage144: H: Tareen, your job is to assist Delta unit in whatever tasks are necessary to disable the ground control station. After that is achieved, phase two of the project, codenamed Operation Rocket Slime, will commence without delay.
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
Lithaladhwen: Not Operation Longbow?
Arch mage144: H: *blinks* No.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..I'm conflicted. ._.
Lithaladhwen: Sorry Tareen. I tried. *thumbs up*
CGNakibe: *chuckles*
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh.
PapatymisonN: (... rocket slime.... oy.)
CGNakibe: (ROCKET SLIME! :D!)
Arch mage144: H: Good luck, Delta unit. *salutes* The fate of Igala depends on you.
Lithaladhwen: *stands* Okay. So who's going to work the technology while I make my call?
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess we might as well be ready to launch at a moment's notice. Benten's still not been encountered, and there's always Izue or even Kamen...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Turns to Helena* Are you a bad enough dude to save Igala?
Lithaladhwen: Yes.
Arch mage144: (*dies laughing*)
CGNakibe: *snickers more*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Awesome!
Lithaladhwen: (I'm applauding right now.)
PapatymisonN: ... eh. Probably.
Lithaladhwen: (Literally. Just so you know)
T3chn0Namagomi: Hnn...well, Serran seems to be our resident electronics guy...
CGNakibe: (Chris wins many interenets)
Arch mage144: (I will send him one immediately and hope it doesn't get stuck in the tubes)
Arch mage144: C: Yeah, that he does.
CGNakibe: (We all know how easily they get clogged)
Lithaladhwen: Serran? You want to come with?
CGNakibe: Sure.
Arch mage144: C: Maybe you should go to the computer room and help them with the triangulation? He doesn't need to be with you, Hel, just able to work from a terminal.
Lithaladhwen: Whatever makes everyone's lives easier.
CGNakibe: But yeah, I do have to stay here.
CGNakibe: Zeiren can help you well enough with that, though.
Arch mage144: C: I imagine Zeiren can show you how to use a phone. *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: ...'kay.
PapatymisonN: ... I don't have to do anything till we have a location, right?
Arch mage144: C: I don't think anything needs smashed, Oxblood, so probably not. *grins*
T3chn0Namagomi: True. I know my way around well enough, I guess. And right, though stay prepared.
CGNakibe: You getting bored already, Oxblood?
Lithaladhwen: (Needs "to be smashed." There is an infinitive there, you midwesterner you.)
PapatymisonN: ... you expected me not to? *smirk*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...o_o
TheWaiChibiAngel: ROOOCKET SLIIIIIIIMME~!
Lithaladhwen: (Cecil is plainly from Indianer.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I think it's gonna be a long, long time. ._.
Lithaladhwen: (Ha!)
T3chn0Namagomi: *snrrks*
PapatymisonN: (... ^_^ )
PapatymisonN: (*packed Tareen's bags last night, pre-flight, zero hour...*)
Arch mage144: C: I'm going to stay here and get ready for whatever the hell happens. Oxblood, Ilya, Tareen, would you like to go to the computer room as well, or should we just suit up?
CGNakibe: Oh, Commander? Any chance Zeiren would be able to bring his crazy armor with him? At the very least I'm sure it'd appreciate something that didn't involve seaweed./
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm gonna go look at all the computers.
PapatymisonN: ... oh, may as well watch. Might learn something.
Arch mage144: C: You mean that the Scelestus doesn't like being covered in salt water and marine flora? *laughs*
OMG Priam: I don't see a reason to go to the computer HQ.
Arch mage144: H: Of course.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not the Scelestus anymore. *smirk*
PapatymisonN: IM: Cuz you're a giant BITCH. 9_9
Arch mage144: C: What? You changed its name?
CGNakibe: What's its name now?
Arch mage144: C: Okay, Ilya. Are you going to meet us at the hangar at launch, then?
T3chn0Namagomi: Haven't thought of a new one yet, but it's definitely not the same as "Accursed".
OMG Priam: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: I'm going to call her Nanashii as long as she's Nanashii. So yeah. She can have as many other names as she wants.
Arch mage144: C: Right.
T3chn0Namagomi: "Anonymous," as she put it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Can I call her Steve?
TheWaiChibiAngel: She seems like a Steve.
Arch mage144: C: Steve is a boy's name, Tareen. *gently*
CGNakibe: (*snickers*)
T3chn0Namagomi: I...don't think she'd appreciate that.
CGNakibe: (Did you HAVE to go there too, Chris? >:P)
CGNakibe: (At least it isn't Larry.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: And Cecil is a bird's name, but you don't hear me telling anyone.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or....Susan?)
Arch mage144: C: A bird?
CGNakibe: (No no, Larry. Injoke)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nod*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Larry: I will have all of your souls on a platter.)
Arch mage144: C: It's a perfectly good name for a human, but I digress.
Arch mage144: C: Enough standing around. I'm going to get my armor on. I have a feeling we'll be deploying soon.
Arch mage144: C: And I'm not sitting this one out.
PapatymisonN: *nods*
PapatymisonN: Computer room close to the hangar?
CGNakibe: Stay sharp.
Arch mage144: *It sure is, it's just a ways down the hall.*
Arch mage144: C: Yep.
Arch mage144: *Cecil departs, presumably to get his gear on*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm...might as well head out in my Armor...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh, fine, I'll go get mine, too. ._.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Moves to do so!*
CGNakibe: *time to go work Der Computar Machines*
PapatymisonN: Good.
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren? Let's go find a phone, Makura's number, and a hoverjeep and all that miscellaneous crap.
PapatymisonN: *heads to the Room Of Big Glowy Screens*
Arch mage144: *Helena, assuming she follows Zeiren to the hangar, finds a hoverjeep waiting for her, complete with a driver*
CGNakibe: (<.<;; >.>;; )
Lithaladhwen: IM: Good deal. I don't feel like driving and talking on the phone. People die that way.
CGNakibe: (Serran: *hacks Izue* HAR HAR HAR. I'M IN UR NETS, STEALING UR HERTZ)
Arch mage144: *The computer room is full of three-dimensional projections of computer screens, some of which are simply glowing green text, others that are incredibly detailed projections of objects and schematics*
CGNakibe: (*stuffs that thought back into The Box*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..What are we even getting ready for?
PapatymisonN: ... *points to three screens* Blonde. Brunette. Redhead.
Arch mage144: *one technician in the corner of the room swears loudly as the projection at his workspace suddenly flicks out of existence and is replaced by a large blue field with white script that suggests unexpected system failure*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right...first, we need a phone...
Lithaladhwen: (.........Nice.)
CGNakibe: (Neo... err, Zeiren: Operator?)
Arch mage144: Tech: Not again!
Lithaladhwen: (Knock, knock, Serran.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: I swear, we need to switch from Panels to something else.
CGNakibe: *heads into the Computer room* >.> Oh no.
Arch mage144: Jeep driver: *motions to Helena* Hey. You're Special Ops Mage Mazuo, right? Get in.
Lithaladhwen: Ookay.
T3chn0Namagomi: >_> Oi, you got a phone? *to the driver*
PapatymisonN: I'm sorry. I've seen that whole Grid Trilogy, like, ten times....
CGNakibe: Hey guys. Now's not the time for unexpected system failure.
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: You'd think this military wouldn't use Macrosoft Panels.
Arch mage144: Driver: *helmeted and armored--the dude looks like he belongs in Halo* You're a lot better looking than I expected.
PapatymisonN: Oh, what? They're supposed to use Pear OS? That thing sucks!
Lithaladhwen: And you're a little short to be a soldier.
Lithaladhwen: You got a phone?
Arch mage144: Techie2: You know it. Why the hell haven't we gone to open-source development yet? I'm sick of this proprietary bullshit. It's a goddamned black box.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (...That guy needs to get blown up and flipped over a cliff)
Arch mage144: Driver: Just joking with you. And of course I do.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (With his hoverjeep)
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: The hotshots are cheap, that's why.
Arch mage144: Driver: HQ told me I was about to help someone make the most important phone call of my life.
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: All they want to do is fund their Armors.
Lithaladhwen: ....Wow. I'm just calling my nephew.
CGNakibe: This is your military dollars at work, folks.
Lithaladhwen: My nephew just happens to be some kind of evil genius.
Arch mage144: Driver: I hope we're calling Jessica Albany. Now that's my kind of woman.
PapatymisonN: (And how old are YOU, lil Izue? ... THIS many.)
Lithaladhwen: (*snort*)
Arch mage144: *the driver hits the gas, and the jeep speeds way from the compound*
Lithaladhwen: *zoom!*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right! *and Zeiren climbs in the ex-Scelestus...
PapatymisonN: (*and ends up in Jersey*)
T3chn0Namagomi: *
Arch mage144: *The ex-Scelestus and the hoverjeep move away from the compound...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *The new armor looks as sleek as ever...almost as if it had been reborn. Keeping its old head, its new smaller frame allows it a sleek look...-
Arch mage144: *Meanwhile, Oxblood and Serran hang out in the tech room*
CGNakibe: Well, you know how it is. Some of us would be able to build it better, faster, and cheaper.
CGNakibe: But we don't come with a moneyback guarantee.
CGNakibe: *sits down at a computer* This one doing okay for today?
Arch mage144: Tech2: It's a lot of bullshit. I'm not afraid to say it. We should be using Loonix on these damned machines.
Arch mage144: Tech2: Go for it.
PapatymisonN: Loonix? There's a REASON they call it that.
PapatymisonN: You'd be crazy to use it.
Lithaladhwen: (OS-fight!)
Arch mage144: Tech2: Whatever. You'd be crazy not to.
Lithaladhwen: (Heaven or Hell. Duel one. Let's rock!)
OMG Priam: (I want Doug to know that we are all waiting to see if there will be a 'rear entry' line)
T3chn0Namagomi: *Replacing the old, almost skeletal wings are two pairs of full, almost draconic-looking ones on the back. Regardless of this, there are still verniers present, albeit not readily visible like before...*
PapatymisonN: Pff. I just got Macrosoft Panels Facet(c) last week.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Screw you guys.)
PapatymisonN: It's AWESOM.
PapatymisonN: *AWESOME
Arch mage144: Driver: *speaking into the comm, so Zeiren can hear* Alright, somebody give me a phone number to dial so Mazuo can chit-chat with her nephew or whatever.
Arch mage144: Tech2: You must be joking. I'd rather sit on a cactus than install that software on any boxen I was running.
Lithaladhwen: Will everyone else be able to hear my conversation?
T3chn0Namagomi: *The side-shields remain, and a pair of large pods sit on the shoulders...*
Arch mage144: Driver: Not unless I patch you through to comms. I'm afraid HQ told me that we needed to prevent the signal from being traceable, so I don't want to risk it.
T3chn0Namagomi: *And Zeiren informs them of the number, I guess*
Lithaladhwen: No, that's good. Pretty much what I was hoping to hear.
PapatymisonN: Are you kidding? It kicks the PANTS off of XO, and that was GREAT!
Arch mage144: Driver: Alright. *pushes some buttons on a keypad, and a ringing sound emantes from the console in the jeep*
Arch mage144: Tech2: You're an orc. I bet you know about as much about computers as my breakfast cereal.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Said pods look like they can open up--for what purpose, is unknown. And, storing the latest armaments are the side-shields, still present.*
PapatymisonN: ... keep comments like that to yourself.
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: Ugh. I prefer anything made by Orange Computers.
Arch mage144: *the phone rings....rings....rings...*
PapatymisonN: I skipped anger management.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'll have you know, I got tech support from my pancakes this morning.)
CGNakibe: I want you to know that that Facet thing will be a piece of trash.
CGNakibe: Anyone with a brain realizes that the distribution will be hacked first day.
CGNakibe: Too much anticipation.
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: Yes, and I skipped that class that tells you to wait before calling security.
Arch mage144: Tech2: Your loss. I'm not racist or anything, but something smells funny in here, and it's distracting.
Arch mage144: Voice from speakerphone: Yes?
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: ...Yeah. Seriously. Anyone got a Shade plug-on?
PapatymisonN: No it's not. Do your damn job.
PapatymisonN: e_e
Lithaladhwen: Hey. If Dr. Mazuo is available, tell him his Aunt Zea is on the phone.
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: Or maybe some Fabreeze
Arch mage144: Voice: What the hell? Aunt Zea?
Lithaladhwen: You got a problem?
Lithaladhwen: IM: See if I can keep him on the phone.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Getting snacks)
PapatymisonN: (Me too.)
Arch mage144: Voice: I don't have an aunt.
CGNakibe: Everyone ready?
Lithaladhwen: Ah! Izue. See, you think that. But I didn't know about you either until recently.
Arch mage144: Tech2: You know it.
Arch mage144: Voice: *pauses momentarily* ...aunt Zea? Which side of the family are you on, anyway?
Arch mage144: Voice: Wait a minute.
Arch mage144: Voice: Oh, I get it. Very interesting!
Lithaladhwen: I'm related to you through my half-brother on my father's side.
Lithaladhwen: Haven't spoken to family in ages. Sorry I missed your birthday.
Lithaladhwen: I'll get you something next year.
CGNakibe: (Helena: A free trip! ^0^)
T3chn0Namagomi: (A mail-order bride!)
Arch mage144: Voice: Hah. That assumes you're alive next year, whoever you are. You're one of those Delta punks, aren't you? A government pawn.
Lithaladhwen: Hey now. I didn't sign up to be in Delta Squad. I didn't sign up for the military at all. In fact, it's your fault I'm even here. I'm the one who should be pissed.
T3chn0Namagomi: N: This is GREAT!
T3chn0Namagomi: N: Everything...is great!
T3chn0Namagomi: *and the Scelestus just so happens to be...FLYING along?!*
Arch mage144: Voice: You're missing the entire point, girl. All I've done is make things equal again.
T3chn0Namagomi: *The ex-Scelestus, anyway*
Arch mage144: Tech2: We're getting a signal!
Arch mage144: (Serran: Computer hacking roll.)
PapatymisonN: Good. See? No phantom smell kept you from your task...
PapatymisonN: IM: Asshole.
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 3 3
Lithaladhwen: Izue, I don't give a damn about your agenda. You think that kind of petty shit worries me? CFIN and the drow and whatever else you've got going on.... totally beneath my concern.
CGNakibe: (11<17. Victoly!)
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: That smell was REAL, you know.
Arch mage144: *A map of Igala comes up on Serran's screen, and three points illuminate suddenly as lines are drawn between them to indicate the intersection*
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: *working*
Lithaladhwen: It's just some of your developments that have me concerned. I have to hand it to you. Totally brilliant. You know something is innovative when you look at it and think, "Damn, why didn't I think of that."
Lithaladhwen: But therein lies the issue.
Arch mage144: *The map zooms in several times, closing in on a sector of Doma Capital*
CGNakibe: Looking good. Might even have a winner here.
Lithaladhwen: I didn't think of that back when I was doing some of your work because, well... y'know how it is. Ethical concerns.
PapatymisonN: ... she really knows how to talk.
Arch mage144: *Serran has coordinates!*
PapatymisonN: *gets up* Nice work! *heads to his machine...*
CGNakibe: Well helLO there.
Arch mage144: Voice: You're missing the whole point. Science isn't about ethics. It's about progress.
CGNakibe: So nice to be seeing you again.
CGNakibe: We've got his location.
Arch mage144: Tech2: Nice work!
Lithaladhwen: You know what I made when I was your age? Better zombies. They could regenerate, sustain themselves without my energy, and I even made one that could reproduce. But I didn't fuck with people's souls. Mainly because....
Lithaladhwen: Well, I had some information you don't, admittedly.
CGNakibe: (Signal moving any?)
Arch mage144: (Not significantly.)
Arch mage144: Voice: Whatever you say.
CGNakibe: Isn't moving.
Arch mage144: Voice: So. I bet you're tracing this call, aren't you? Trying to find out where I am?
PapatymisonN: *and he hops in his Sturmpanzer*
T3chn0Namagomi: Techie: Woo!
CGNakibe: He's comfortable and happy.
Arch mage144: Voice: I'm not stupid.
CGNakibe: We'll change that soon enough.
Lithaladhwen: Actually, I haven't spoken to my family in ages. I thought we were all dead by now.
Lithaladhwen: Family lines aren't supposed to last this long.
Arch mage144: Voice: Good for you. Ignore my questions. That's alright. You can't touch me.
PapatymisonN: (Like Alex said, good stock.)
Lithaladhwen: Izue, I can tell you one thing about me that you won't find from my military profile.
Lithaladhwen: My strength isn't in my body, or in my allies or in anything you will find on the face of this continent. Those are nothing special. Mortal contrivances. What you fail to understand is my mission.
Lithaladhwen: You have pissed off some seriously relevant powers. And we get everyone. The young and the powerful and the ageless. Everyone dies. You can't run forever, even if you win now.
Lithaladhwen: I'll be waiting for you when you die, if nothing else.
Arch mage144: Izue: I'm impressed by your conviction. But whatever power you believe in is irrelevant to me. Science has triumphed over death itself. The human soul is in my hands, now.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs*
PapatymisonN: (Speciocentrist. e_e)
PapatymisonN: (Is that how you say it?)
Lithaladhwen: I hope you can keep a good hold on your own, then. Because what we'll do to you is nothing compared to what Reshtaha will devise. I know him. It takes a lot to piss him off, and he is not happy.
Arch mage144: Izue: Even if there are gods that meddle in the affairs of Gaera, auntie, I am so far beyond your grasp that you will never be able to touch me. If my knowledge offends the creator of the universe, I will use it to cut him down.
Lithaladhwen: *snorts* You don't have to be within my grasp, kid. I'm a mortal. For the moment.
Lithaladhwen: If I'd heard about you a couple of months ago I'd already have flayed your soul down to the core and scattered your essence to the primordial winds beneath creation.
Lithaladhwen: So count yourself lucky that my condition has bought you time.
Arch mage144: Izue: Igala no longer needs the judgment of gods. And I don't need misguided zealots like yourself trying to stay progress in the name of "naturalism."
CGNakibe: (Serran about now will be getting information on this base of Izue's, if possible. Just a note)
Lithaladhwen: The important thing is that you believe that. That it brings you some peace of mind before the end. Because whether you personally need the judgment of gods? You've got it.
Lithaladhwen: Call me a zealot if you wish. But I've known the perspective of the lord of death, and all of you mortals are the same. You forget the powers that rule you because they've given you a taste of free will.
Lithaladhwen: But they don't like what you've done with it. And now I'm here. I'm only the first. The armies of Reshtaha are limitless and deathless because we fight in his name. Remember that.
Arch mage144: (Noted. And you will get it shortly.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Would Zeiren have been able to hear all this?)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...this guy is a fucking NUTCASE
Lithaladhwen: (Aren't you glad there are fanatics on both sides? You have your very own religious nutcase!)
Arch mage144: Izue: Mythology and superstition are meaningless to me. I can create an entire living creature from the ground up, sequencing nucleic acids and orchestrating the synthesis of proteins, even without magic.
Lithaladhwen: IM: He's chatty. I like him. I wish he weren't a blaspheming stain on creation. We could do some good work.
Arch mage144: Izue: I can give birth to life without anyone's assistance. I am as adept at creation as any "god." And I will use this knowledge to see that this continent is ruled by worthy people.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Good for you. Waah, I can create life from the ground up, look at me, look at me, I demand attention.
CGNakibe: (Izue: Why does everyone HATE MEH? ;_;-)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Bet the bastard's pissed he never got a date in high school.
CGNakibe: (Zeiren: BECAUSE YOU TOUCH YOURSELF AT NIGHT!)
Lithaladhwen: ....*chuckles* So you have a good idea of who's worthy to rule? I'm not really concerned with what happens to the living most of the time. Not my jurisdiction. But I have to ask. Who's so awesome that you want them in power?
Lithaladhwen: Anyone in particular? Or maybe you?
Arch mage144: Izue: *chuckles* I'm not interested in discussing politics. I'm leaving that to my allies. Maybe you want to talk to one of them instead?
Lithaladhwen: They're boring. I like you better.
Lithaladhwen: You know, it's really sad I didn't keep better track of our family.
Lithaladhwen: I think I'd have liked to work with you when you were younger.
Arch mage144: Izue: Flattering, but I'm ashamed to be related to you, if you're telling the truth.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* Kids nowadays.
Lithaladhwen: So rebellious.
Arch mage144: Izue: We have nothing further to discuss.
Arch mage144: Izue: Goodbye!
Arch mage144: *click*
CGNakibe: (Zea: And they keep PLAYING IN MY FLOWER GARDEN. >.<)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Uh huh...right, so...this is it, then...
Lithaladhwen: Well. That was fun.
Lithaladhwen: What do you want to bet we're about to die, driver?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Yeah, he's a certified nutcase.
Arch mage144: *Serran runs a trace on the call to get more information about what's located at the coordinates in question...*
Lithaladhwen: (I like letting Helena lay down the righteous zealot dialogue. It's fun.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *Switches to active sensors! Just in case!*
PapatymisonN: C: We got a locale yet?
CGNakibe: C: Just need to figure out what it is.
Arch mage144: *Oh, how interesting, Serran. It's a government-operated building...*
Arch mage144: *...the largest hospital in Doma.*
CGNakibe: .... Gee. Didn't see THAT coming.
CGNakibe: *sighs*
CGNakibe: C: And its government owned and operated. Isn't that beautiful?
Lithaladhwen: That's okay, though. Even though he kills us, he'll never be truly immortal. And we'll get him eventually.
Lithaladhwen: On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero. *nods*
CGNakibe: C: Largest hospital in Doma.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Well, fuck.
PapatymisonN: C: ... so he's in there? He works for US?
Arch mage144: Cecil, comm: So we can't just bomb it, then.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Not unless we can somehow evacuate each and every person
Lithaladhwen: (Hel can hear this conversation, yes?)
Arch mage144: Driver: ...that was the weirdest phone conversation I've ever overheard.
CGNakibe: C: Yeah, but we expected it to be something we couldn't bomb.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yes)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: You know, this guy's pissing me off.
Lithaladhwen: C: Just bomb it for heaven's sake. You realize he's playing on your soft-headedness.
Arch mage144: C, C: Isn't that the truth. And we can't just blast it, either.
PapatymisonN: C: So... we go on foot? Infiltrate and kick ass? See our own personal nemesis face to face.
Lithaladhwen: C: He's hoping you won't go after him.
Arch mage144: C, C: Are you nuts!? We can't blow up a hospital!
PapatymisonN: C: ... even I'm not gonna bomb sick kids, Hel.
CGNakibe: C: If he's hoping THAT then he's got more hope than I give him credit for.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: If we get everyone out, why can't we?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: It's government-run.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Just have it evacuated.
Lithaladhwen: C: Then he's going to continue forcing human souls into armor and you'll know it's your fault.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Oooh, do we get to sneak again?
Arch mage144: C, C: It'll give him time to escape! If he knows we're coming, we're going to have to go, and quickly.
CGNakibe: C: Gotta have some standards. You worry about souls, I worry about not having to worry about souls.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Ugh...I really hate this stealth shit.
Lithaladhwen: C: And anyway, he knew we were tracing the call. He's probably in the hospital with Makura or something, waiting for us to rush in like idiots and try to save everyone.
PapatymisonN: C: Me too.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: I'm a pilot, not a spy.
CGNakibe: C: So lets.
Lithaladhwen: C: He's willing to go much further than you are, and if you don't step it up, you're going to fail.
PapatymisonN: C: I just hope I can carry a decent GUN this time...
Lithaladhwen: C: Just do your damn jobs and get rid of him.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Yay, I get to sneak!
CGNakibe: C: ... you know, a hospital makes sense, though.
CGNakibe: C: More "experimental material"
T3chn0Namagomi: C: ...people die, easy source of souls
Lithaladhwen: C: Yeah, I know. They're all haunted.
Lithaladhwen: C: Awful places.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* I remember what my granny told me once.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C:..Really?
Lithaladhwen: IM: Cowards. I'm working with children and cowards.
PapatymisonN: C: So, let's get some suits, some guns, and go kick his ass.
CGNakibe: C: "I can't go to a hospital. People DIE there"
Arch mage144: C, C: I'm already armed. Let's meet at the hangar and get going. That's the Wells Memorial Hospital, right?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Ugh...
Arch mage144: C, C: It's not far from here.
CGNakibe: C: I just want one shot. And yeah, Well's Memorial.
Lithaladhwen: (AAH)
Lithaladhwen: (Whoa!)
PapatymisonN: (*doesn't get the pun*)
PapatymisonN: C: I'll meet you all in the Armory. *logs out of the comm system and hops out of his machine*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Returning to base, I guess...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: You've got to be shitting me.
Lithaladhwen: ( Charles needs to click me. )
CGNakibe: *Turns off computar machine, because now is the time to be suiting up*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I spent all that time getting into my suit and now I can't use it?
Arch mage144: C, C: It's just three blocks from Silvar Street. We can make it within fifteen minutes.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: I'm a fucking PILOT
Lithaladhwen: C: Three blocks from what?
Arch mage144: (Sure she can. It's not that big; she can go indoors with it.)
PapatymisonN: *heads to the Armory, and gets a suit, and a weapon...*
CGNakibe: IM: Greeat. As skilled as my friends are, I was glad I wasn't doing the babysitting last time. -.-;;
PapatymisonN: (Brian, you've seen SG-1. We have anything resembling a P-90, or otherwise powerful-as-hell submachine gun?)
Arch mage144: *Oxblood finds himself getting equipped with some marine armor...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Well then, screw getting out of her suit.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Silvar. Silvar. I know that name. I swear I knew a Silvar. Maybe he came through recently?
T3chn0Namagomi: *leaves mecha, heads to the Armory, gets a suit, the best beam rifle he can get, a stun pistol, and possibly one of those stealth belts if he can get one*
Besyanteo has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: *ooh! Gets a stealth belt too. 'Nades, too, if that's possible...*
Besyanteo: (No access before just now. *lurks*)
Arch mage144: *There're several weapons to grab. Depend what Oxblood wants. A blaster rifle? A portable plasma-thrower? Maybe a sonic rifle, or a microwave disruptor?*
PapatymisonN: (Hi Bes.)
Besyanteo: (Also: Hey.)
CGNakibe: *Definitely wants a stealth belt, possibly something less submachine gun and more in the sonic rifle range*
PapatymisonN: *hmmm... microwave disruptor!*
PapatymisonN: *nab*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Yeah, definitely also a sonic rifle*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and, let's not forget the helmet*
Arch mage144: (Disruptor rifle: Damage 2d+6 impaling, SS 13, Acc 10, RoF 3~. Note it.)
CGNakibe: (Duly Noted)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I think that was for Cha)
Arch mage144: (Screamer is 4d+4, SS 4, Acc 10, RoF 1)
CGNakibe: (And equally duly un-noted. >:P)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Will not be grabbing anything else, unless someone recommends doing so.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Woo!)
Besyanteo: (Also: How much logner do you guys plan to go tonight?)
PapatymisonN: ... Tareen. Do you know how to NOT shoot your friends?
PapatymisonN: (*never cares*)
Arch mage144: (Until we're done. I'm not sure.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (And marine armor?)
Besyanteo: (Yay, I'm not here 2 mintues form the end then!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: What?
Arch mage144: (PD 6, DR 65. Helmet is PD 4, DR 35.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I never shoot my friends. I don't shoot people.
Lithaladhwen: (Where's Hel right now?)
PapatymisonN: Can you shoot bad guys?
Arch mage144: (In a jeep. The driver will take you wherever you want to go.)
CGNakibe: Hey, can you, Oxblood?
T3chn0Namagomi: Just get her her suit. She punches into Armors with it, remember?
CGNakibe: Because I'm really, REALLY not interested in trying to bull my way through here.
PapatymisonN: *hefts his weapon* Hells yeah. ^_^
Lithaladhwen: (She wants to head back to where her team is so she can convince them to raze a hospital.)
T3chn0Namagomi: If that thing can get into Armors, it can do well enough on people.
PapatymisonN: ... fine by me.
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
Arch mage144: (Also, you can't get stealth belts. There aren't any.)
Arch mage144: *The driver nods at Helena and turns around, headed back to base*
CGNakibe: (Oh well.)
Arch mage144: (Also, BRB a sec.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: See? I can punch people!
Lithaladhwen: *to the driver* Oh, and sorry for the bizarre conversation. I have trouble keeping these things normal.
Lithaladhwen: For obvious reasons.
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
CGNakibe: (WB)
Lithaladhwen: (I can update you, Nama.)
Besyanteo: (Chuck: )
PapatymisonN: (Ja?)
Besyanteo: (Are you running any anti-virus software?)
PapatymisonN: (Yeah... why do you ask? *isn't on Hamachi right now*)
Besyanteo: (My sister's computer's firewall reported being hit with a virus called winfixer around the time you joined that network.)
CGNakibe: (Bes' problems may be virus related)
Besyanteo: (It could be a coincidence.)
Lithaladhwen: (Aie.)
PapatymisonN: (Huh.)
PapatymisonN: (I'll send avast! on a thorough search once the RP's over.)
Besyanteo: (Shaun: Winfixer came well after my comptuer wigged out. That's not related. I'm just trying to make sure nothing bad happens to people on the SC network)
CGNakibe: (I know.)
Besyanteo: (*lurks to talk to spleen*)
PapatymisonN: (Where were we?)
Arch mage144: *anyway*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Right. No stealth belt. Just...armor.*
Arch mage144: *Cecil is in the ready room, fully armored except for the helmet, and looking very pensive*
CGNakibe: This is gonna suck.
T3chn0Namagomi: You're telling me.
PapatymisonN: We'll be fine.
Lithaladhwen: (Tell me when Helena is allowed to be places.)
CGNakibe: Not us I'm worried about.
Arch mage144: *Helena's back at the hangar, in the jeep. Her armor is ready for her, if she wants it.*
PapatymisonN: Eh?
CGNakibe: Well, come to think of it, I'm worried about us too.
Lithaladhwen: (Uh....yeah. =P )
CGNakibe: (Armor = Good)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...why don't they have Marines for this kind of thing?
Besyanteo: (Redford begs to differ!)
Lithaladhwen: *Helena suits up and goes to find someone recognizable, preferably from her team.*
PapatymisonN: *is there, with the others*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..How come none of you have crazy awesome armor?
Arch mage144: C: Let's get to the hangar. We're going to need a transport.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeiren looks recognizable!*
T3chn0Namagomi: Because we pilot Armors.
CGNakibe: With luck we won't need them.
Lithaladhwen: *She finds Zeiren and gives him a wave, then!*
Arch mage144: C: I sure hope not.
T3chn0Namagomi: *waves back* Oi, Helena!
Lithaladhwen: IM: Good. Now will I seem more or less crazy when I make that request in person?
Arch mage144: (Hey, Shini, where's Priam at?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Playing Excelsior or whatever the hell Judo calls that thing)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (One second.)
Arch mage144: (Whatever, if he's preoccupied I'm not concerned.)
Besyanteo: (Does this suggest you're interested in other players coming in late? :o)
PapatymisonN: *waves to Hel*
Arch mage144: (He can continue doing whatever he wants, I'm fine to go on without him at this point. His character isn't terribly "into" the situation, so to speak)
Arch mage144: (If Sigov wants to meet the others in the hangar I'm fine with that.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (He's coming.)
Besyanteo: (Ok, next question: )
Besyanteo: (You still have my sheets? o.o)
OMG Priam: (back)
Arch mage144: (Yeah, I do. You need them?)
Besyanteo: (I do! I don't know what standard weapons Sigov is good with anymore.)
Lithaladhwen: So what the hell are we doing?
Lithaladhwen: Are we making a parking lot out of that building or are we letting my nephew run?
OMG Priam: *entre*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I think I'm supposed to punch things.
PapatymisonN: ... we're going to go in and put microwaves through the whole of his body.
CGNakibe: If he runs within my range that's good.
PapatymisonN: SentanCorp is one thing. Sick kids and old people are another.
CGNakibe: I intend to shave him off at the knees.
Lithaladhwen: Sick kids and old people are likely already dying as it is.
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess we're going to try and shoot him. A lot. I still wouldn't mind evacuating the hospital and making a bombing run, but...
Lithaladhwen: Triage is rough.
Besyanteo: *and...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Apparently we're wanted as Marine-substitutes. -V-;
PapatymisonN: If we evac the place, Izue will just run with them.
Lithaladhwen: Yes!
PapatymisonN: And he'll start again.
Lithaladhwen: Because he's a coward and he's hiding behind those patients! Don't let him!
Lithaladhwen: You're doing just what he's counting on!
Arch mage144: C: We don't have to be stealthy, but we can't just blow up a hospital. It's a full-frontal invasion.
PapatymisonN: But, I still have a CONSCIENCE and I can't blow up innocent people.
Besyanteo: *Hey, look who it is! Late for the party as usual, the fuck. He's got a nice looking laser rifle and the same marine armor as the rest of them now*
Lithaladhwen: *facepalms four times*
PapatymisonN: Look, Hel!
CGNakibe: Sorry, Helena.
CGNakibe: I know how you feel. Really.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
PapatymisonN: I'm all for getting Izue, alright? Sick fuck, deserves to die.
Lithaladhwen: No! You don't! Because you're the ones making decisions based on emotion here!
Besyanteo: *puts his rifle over one Soldier* Problems, folks?
Besyanteo: (... shoulder)
Besyanteo: (one shoulder.)
PapatymisonN: And the fact that he's hiding behind fucking SICK PEOPLE is just as bad!
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< I'd still rather evac and bomb.
CGNakibe: My duty as a soldier is to make sure that those people don't get hurt. That innocent people don't get dragged into this crap.
PapatymisonN: But I'm not going to SACRIFICE them just to get him.
CGNakibe: I actually take it seriously.
PapatymisonN: That makes us JUST AS BAD AS HIM.
Lithaladhwen: So you're just going to show him that this is a good strategy. That's what you're doing. You're teaching him that this is how he needs to operate.
Besyanteo: .... HEY.
Besyanteo: <_<
Besyanteo: >_>
PapatymisonN: Killing as many fucking people as possible for our own goals.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hi. o_o
Lithaladhwen: You are showing him what works.
Besyanteo: ... We've got orders, don't we?
Lithaladhwen: And this works.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Is in her armor, of note!*
Besyanteo: Why are we arguing over this?
CGNakibe: Yeah, Sigov, we do.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm only doing this because we're being ordered to do it
PapatymisonN: WHO CARES IF IT WORKS IF WE LOSE OUR GODSDAMNED SOULS? e_e
CGNakibe: ....
PapatymisonN: ...
Lithaladhwen: *her tone drops* Don't you tell me about souls being lost, Oxblood.
CGNakibe: IM: Why am I agreeing with Oxblood?
Lithaladhwen: Don't you dare presume to lecture me about that.
CGNakibe: IM: ... man, what a drag. -.-
PapatymisonN: Really.
PapatymisonN: It doesn't seem like you give a shit.
OMG Priam: *chin in palm!*
PapatymisonN: Alive, dead... all in the same place at the end, right?
CGNakibe: The more time we spend here talking, the more time they have to charge that satellite.
Lithaladhwen: No, Oxblood.
Lithaladhwen: You ignorant bastard. Have you all forgotten everything?
Lithaladhwen: *sighs*
Lithaladhwen: Fine.
Lithaladhwen: Go ahead.
CGNakibe: No, Helena. We remember.
Lithaladhwen: Damn yourselves, and all of his test subjects.
Lithaladhwen: But every armor he builds after this will be on your consciences.
Arch mage144: C, C: We don't have time to argue about this!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I don't wanna blow up sick people just because they're sick.
PapatymisonN: Oh, for... We-
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Idea.
PapatymisonN: C:... fine. On the way, Cec.
CGNakibe: I can live with that.
Lithaladhwen: Let's go. It's a good day to die. I don't care anymore.
PapatymisonN: *heads to the ... departure area*
CGNakibe: *puts on his helmet* So lets go.
Arch mage144: Jeep driver: Seriously, people. Get the hell in. Talk on the way, you'll have about ten minutes. Yeah, I know it's twenty minutes away. I like to drive really fast. *grins*
T3chn0Namagomi: Someone tell Command to get a perimeter around the place.
PapatymisonN: *hops in*
Lithaladhwen: *gets in*
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets in*
Besyanteo: *in!*
CGNakibe: Today's an awful day to die.
OMG Priam: *enter!*
CGNakibe: Its too goddamn hot.
T3chn0Namagomi: If he gets out, have him shot like a pig on slaughter.
Besyanteo: I really don't care. Dial down the gods damned drama.
Besyanteo: There'll be enough of that when they start sniping us.
CGNakibe: *Jumps in the jeep*
Arch mage144: C: Nobody's allowed to die, or I'll kick your ass, you hear me?
PapatymisonN: C: Except Izue.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< You remind me of my old drill instructor.
Arch mage144: *the jeep driver hits the gas*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (In!*
Arch mage144: C: I sure hope not. I'm probably way more concerned about your well-being than he is.
T3chn0Namagomi: "And then you will die. And THEN you will be in a world of shit!"
T3chn0Namagomi: "Because you are NOT allowed to die without permission!"
CGNakibe: (*snickers*)
T3chn0Namagomi: I hated that guy.
Lithaladhwen: *smirk* I've heard that speech.
Arch mage144: *Cecil's hands shake as he draws from his utility belt and fumbles with some sort of hypo*
PapatymisonN: What's that?
T3chn0Namagomi: I bet you have. Many, many times.
Lithaladhwen: *grins at Zeiren* I've even given it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Is that so?
Arch mage144: C: I told you you aren't allowed to die. *he jabs the needle into a port on the wrist of his armor and winces* It's the only way I'm going to survive this mission without losing my mind.
Lithaladhwen: ....*glances at Cecil*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I don't think I could die WITH permission.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I'm made of INVINCIBILITY.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Mortal coping mechanisms.
PapatymisonN: (*Cecil's face doesn't change* See? I'm full of energy. o.o)
Lithaladhwen: (AAAHAHAHA)
Besyanteo: (... I don't get it. :-( )
Lithaladhwen: (Bleach joke.)
Arch mage144: *The jeep covers ground rapidly...civilian traffic moves out of the way of the craziest driver most of the average people on the road have ever seen*
PapatymisonN: ... I like this!
PapatymisonN: You're driving me everywhere, pal! ^_^
Lithaladhwen: Hey now. Cecil forbade us to die.
Lithaladhwen: Isn't he, like, your superior or something?
CGNakibe: Hey, its better than traffic.\
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wait, they said I wasn't allowed to drive like this!
Arch mage144: C: I'm your fucking doctor. Even if I don't technically outrank you, my word is law. *smirk*
Lithaladhwen: Heh.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Cecil, am I made of invincibility?
Arch mage144: *the group can see a large white building growing rapidly larger as the jeep races toward it*
CGNakibe: *whispers to Helena* So... How long has it been since you did something like this, anyway?
Arch mage144: C: That's Wells Memorial. We're almost there...
PapatymisonN: Put us at the back door.
Lithaladhwen: *w to Serran* Decades since I did something myself. Centuries since I was involuntarily corporeal.
Arch mage144: C: I interned there when I was a student, back when I was...maybe sixteen.
Arch mage144: Driver: Yessir. I'll pull around to the delivery entrance.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Driver: The three day comic artist is smarter than the seven-day one, and the one-day one even moreso! And that's my philosophyyyyy~!)
Arch mage144: C: I heard it was named after a famous woman who dedicated herself to healing the sick.
PapatymisonN: Was there a cranky genius doctor with a cane there, like in Domicile MD?
Lithaladhwen: (Ah, yes! Nama wins!)
CGNakibe: *w* So I see.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hey! I just eliminated wasteful time with only one car!)
OMG Priam: *analyzing her new accoutrements*
Arch mage144: *the jeep pulls to a stop in the back of the building*
CGNakibe: (Thank you, Radical Good Speed. ^^)
Lithaladhwen: *leans reeeeeeeeaaaally close to Serran and whispers* Want to know something secret? Former archangel of death. You're riding with a Fallen, kid.
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: *w* Thought I'd tell you before we die.
Arch mage144: Driver: Yeeeehaw! We made it in the best time ever! Only eight minutes and fifty three seconds! And it only cost me seven eigthths of an entire tank of gas!
Lithaladhwen: (*laugh*)
Besyanteo: Pft.
CGNakibe: *w* Told you. Today's a terrible day to die. Maybe in a week.
Lithaladhwen: (But will he cry.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...Helena's not going to die at all...I know that.
Besyanteo: *he gets out*
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Classic!)
Lithaladhwen: *w* We'll do our best.
T3chn0Namagomi: *jumps out*
Arch mage144: *Cecil leaps out of the jeep and shoulders a huge blaster rifle*
Lithaladhwen: (brb loo)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Jumps!*
PapatymisonN: *hops out, microwave disruptor in hand*
PapatymisonN: *... hands*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right. You lead. *motioning to Oxblood*
Arch mage144: C: I'm not afraid to take lives...*switches the weapon's safety to OFF, and a sequence of red bars on the side of the blaster turn green*
OMG Priam: *exits, katana at side and long rifle in hand*
PapatymisonN: *nods*
PapatymisonN: ... where's he gonna be?
Arch mage144: C: We have no idea.
PapatymisonN: (Oh. Can I retcon that Oxblood took his axe? o.o)
Arch mage144: (Sure.)
PapatymisonN: (Thanks.)
Arch mage144: C: I'm not afraid to take lives...*almost muttering at this point*
CGNakibe: *w* Just wanna let you know. We have hopes here, dreams. For us they end when we're dead.
TheWaiChibiAngel: So I need to punch people, right?
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeiren doesn't need melee weapons! If only because they don't have any of those for unarmed fighters...*
PapatymisonN: ... Serran? Did you pinpoint him in here?
CGNakibe: Yeah, he's here.
CGNakibe: Won't be for long, though.
T3chn0Namagomi: (C: I mustn't run away! I mustn't run away! I mustn't run away!)
Arch mage144: C: *subvocalizing* Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death...
PapatymisonN: As in, specific floor, room?
Besyanteo: *readies!*
CGNakibe: (Close, Doug. Not quite)
Besyanteo: (HA)
Lithaladhwen: (Sweet. Cecil gets ten "squeeeee" points.)
Besyanteo: >_>
Besyanteo: IM: ... Ten minutes, and he'll be dead.
Lithaladhwen: *Helena ignites her scythe-staff-everythingstick*
Besyanteo: IM: Damn shame. He's a neat guy.
Arch mage144: *A hospital orderly is standing outside the back door, smoking*
PapatymisonN: (Serran?)
Arch mage144: *He looks up at the group and drops his cigarette in shock*
CGNakibe: (Brian?)
Arch mage144: (Yeah?)
CGNakibe: (Any info on floor come with that pinpointing?)
Arch mage144: (No.)
PapatymisonN: ... hi.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Move out, guys!
CGNakibe: Room by room,.
Arch mage144: (You can't triangulate the location that precisely.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Wave wave*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Hopes and dreams, eh? I had those. But you can outlive anything. Even that.
CGNakibe: (Thought not. You'd need 6 points anyway.)
Besyanteo: (Hel gets emo points)
Besyanteo: (more than usual)
Lithaladhwen: (She really really does. Fallen archangel of death? Holy fuck, man.)
Lithaladhwen: (Can you get more emo-cliche than that?)
Arch mage144: C: Alright. Let's go, guys!
PapatymisonN: (... My Chemical Romance?)
Lithaladhwen: (I concede that.)
PapatymisonN: Right...
Arch mage144: Orderly: Hang on a minute, what are you doing? This is a hospital...are you MAC or something?
Arch mage144: (Hey, I kinda like My Chemical Romance.)
PapatymisonN: ... yeah.
T3chn0Namagomi: None of your concern!
CGNakibe: Yes, we are, and this is what we call an operation.
CGNakibe: Stand aside.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (No, nobody does.)
PapatymisonN: (But can you get more emo-cliche than them?)
Arch mage144: (Probably not.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (England expecially.)
Lithaladhwen: (Pedro the Lion? Modest Mouse?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: We're here to punch people!
T3chn0Namagomi: *waits for Oxblood to take point and go in*
PapatymisonN: ... so... where we looking? Lab next to th- Hey! Orderly guy!
Arch mage144: (This just reminds me that I need to get the new Incubus CD, even though they're not emo at all)
Arch mage144: (But that is SO off-topic)
PapatymisonN: What floor's the morgue on?
OMG Priam: Hey. You guys want me in, or to stick back and pin him if he leaves?
OMG Priam: *taps rifle*
Arch mage144: Orderly: What? This is a hospital, we don't have a morgue!
Lithaladhwen: Oxblood, are you looking for ghosts?
T3chn0Namagomi: Stay in.
PapatymisonN: ... yeah.
CGNakibe: *w to Helena* Dreams made the world what is is, some folks say.
PapatymisonN: ... which way?
CGNakibe: Good idea.
Arch mage144: Orderly: What do you guys want?
OMG Priam: *nods*
CGNakibe: Lets look for ghosts.
Arch mage144: C: ...that's it! Helena...where are the ghosts?
Lithaladhwen: Um. Well....
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 1 4
CGNakibe: We want to clean out a nasty rat infestation.
Besyanteo: (Hel: ... The afterlife? =D; _
Besyanteo: )*
OMG Priam: I'm sorry, we can't say any more. Sensitive operations.
Lithaladhwen: (10<16. Success.)
OMG Priam: You needn't be alarmed.
Besyanteo: IM: ... WHY ARE WE OUTSIDE TALKING TO AN ORDERLY?
Arch mage144: *Helena discerns that there is a critical spirit mass at the top floor of the building*
Lithaladhwen: Top floor, kids. Something important is happening there.
T3chn0Namagomi: Go figure...
Besyanteo: *opens the door and looks in*
CGNakibe: Lets go, people.
Arch mage144: Orderly: ...I picked the worst time to go on smoke break.
PapatymisonN: Let's go, then. *enters the building...*
CGNakibe: Or the best. Stay here.
Lithaladhwen: *to the orderly as she leaves* No way. You're outside. *grin*
Besyanteo: *and, of course, Oxblood's welcoem to shove past*
CGNakibe: *rushes in, the fool*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, you take point, Oxblood.
Besyanteo: *while he makes sure no one turns with a handgun or something*
Lithaladhwen: *rushes in, the fanatic*
Arch mage144: *The door opens without resistance. Some nurses are moving about on the first floor, occasionally checking in on patients. And shit, everyone that notices the sudden group of armored people is confused.*
PapatymisonN: *gives Sig a pat on the shoulder as he enters*
T3chn0Namagomi: *goes in as well, gun at ready!*
OMG Priam: *follows*
PapatymisonN: *heads for the stairs!*
Besyanteo: *enter!*
Besyanteo: *and follow!*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Stairs as well!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Goes!*
Arch mage144: *Cecil follows after Oxblood, who is eveidently taking point*
CGNakibe: Half to stairs, half to the elevators.
PapatymisonN: *up to the top!*
OMG Priam: *waves to some people in a friendly manner as they advance*
Arch mage144: C: Sorry! Coming through! Military business!
Besyanteo: *will take up the rear!*
Lithaladhwen: *takes the stairs*
PapatymisonN: *assuming he doesn't have to vaporize anyone on the way*
Lithaladhwen: Someone else can go for the elevator.
Arch mage144: *A nurse drops a full bedpan and swears*
CGNakibe: *Elevators are easy*
PapatymisonN: Sorry, lady.
Arch mage144: *The group starts heading up the stairs...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *We don't trust the elevators!*
Arch mage144: *Rush rush run run huff puff!*
Besyanteo: *Ditto. Though god that would be convenient, huh?*
Besyanteo: *which means, up the stairs!*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Fucking stairs...
OMG Priam: *Come on, pussies. We're in the goddamned army. Stairs are our bread and butter!*
Arch mage144: *As Oxblood opens the door at the top flight of stairs, he practically runs down a doctor carrying a computerized patient chart*
CGNakibe: (Ah, Laziness disad for the... um... something*
PapatymisonN: (Stairs are more stealthy!*
Lithaladhwen: *Yeah. Come on, mortals.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *We're in the MECHA DIVISION*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Not the Marines!*
Lithaladhwen: (We know.)
OMG Priam: *Are you saying we're not badasses?*
Lithaladhwen: (He mentions it a lot. =P )
Arch mage144: MD: What the hell? Who are you people? And what are you doing in the terminal ward?
PapatymisonN: Nothing.
PapatymisonN: Go on with your damn life.
PapatymisonN: *goes past!*
Besyanteo: (Hee. Did no one else think "Wait, elevator cables can be cut...")
T3chn0Namagomi: There's a demon rat infestation. *goes past*
OMG Priam: Just a brief demonstration. Pay us no mind.
Besyanteo: *follows silently!*
Arch mage144: Pharmacist making rounds with the MD: ...I am completely lost, Dr. House.
CGNakibe: (Shush, you. >:P)
Lithaladhwen: (Bes: Hel knows what elevators are, and she did!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (House!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
Lithaladhwen: (RRAAAAARHH)
CGNakibe: (Yay, House!)
PapatymisonN: (I said DOMICILE, DANGIT!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I just need to punch some guy!
Arch mage144: Cecil: Pardon me, fellow medical professionals! Official military business!
Lithaladhwen: (*laugh*)
PapatymisonN: Hel? Direction?
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 3 5
Lithaladhwen: (Success.)
Besyanteo: IM: ...Let's try up and work from there?
Besyanteo: IM: Come on, people...
Besyanteo: IM: Direction of the roof... oy.
Lithaladhwen: (Heh. My character can cast "detect plot.")
CGNakibe: (Isn't it wonderful?)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Let's just have Helena do the navigation...
Lithaladhwen: (Lag!)
Lithaladhwen: (Test.)
Besyanteo: (Hi.)
Arch mage144 has left the room.
Lithaladhwen: (Lost Brian.)
Lithaladhwen: (Well.)
GM Archmage has entered the room.
GM Archmage: (OK, silly AIM.)
OMG Priam: (Tricks are fo*SHOT*)
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 2 6
GM Archmage: (Hey, Oxblood, make a dodge roll.)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 5 3
PapatymisonN: (Uh... dodge... dodge...)
GM Archmage: (Add PD to Dodge. Your PD is 6.)
GM Archmage: (Your dodge is equal to your move.)
PapatymisonN: (So total is 12. Well at least it's a success on MY end...)
GM Archmage: *A rifle blast surges past Oxblood and strikes "Dr. House" in the back, dropping him without so much as a chance to scream*
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Got shot AGAIN)
CGNakibe: (Apparently the good doctor is a magnet for such)
PapatymisonN: *WEAPON'S UP!*
Besyanteo: *can we see whot shot?*
GM Archmage: *At the end of the hallway is a group of armored soldiers, all clearly drow...hold for a desc.*
Besyanteo: (who shot* even)
GM Archmage: *Everyone at the end of the hall is wearing coal black armor that covers most of their body, excepting the lower portion of the face and ears, hence the ability to recognize the race.*
OMG Priam: *click, safety's off*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hey! You shot him!
CGNakibe: (The Kids Aren't Alright!)
GM Archmage: *There are five soldiers there, all wearing ridiculously elaborate visor-like devices intended to block out sunlight*
T3chn0Namagomi: *click* Thinking what I'm thinking, Serran?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ooh, do I get to punch these guys?
GM Archmage: *Each of them is holding a blaster rifle and in a kneeling position, evidently intending to gun down the group*
Besyanteo: *takes aim!*
PapatymisonN: *does the same*
CGNakibe: I'm thinking that I wish I'd taken the beach vacation.
GM Archmage: (Alright, everybody, give me your move score. If you tie with someone else, roll 1d6. Whoever has a higher score wins.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (6)
OnlineHost: CGNakibe rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
Besyanteo: (6)
PapatymisonN: (It's six.)
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
CGNakibe: (I already know that there are 2 other 6es here)
Lithaladhwen: IM: Let the innocent receive solace, let them see the error of their choices and be given peace. Let the blasphemers suffer to the end of their endurance until they are destroyed.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Crap, I'm slow.)
GM Archmage: (ALSO)
CGNakibe: (Doug, Charles, Roll)
Lithaladhwen: (5)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
T3chn0Namagomi: (I'm late! I've turned into a culturally half-assed handsome slob!)
OnlineHost: T3chn0Namagomi rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Six)
OMG Priam: (6.25, I think. *digs for CS*)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
CGNakibe: (Shini, Roll)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (TOO LATE)
Besyanteo: (He did! :o )
Lithaladhwen: (Well, 5.75 technically.)
GM Archmage: (Your armor weighs sixty pounds. If your character's STR score is less than 15, you're at medium encumberance and your move is 2 less.)
OMG Priam: (6.5, my bad)
CGNakibe: (Tareen, Serran, Oxblood, Zeiren)
Besyanteo: (4 then.)
OMG Priam: (Also, I am then 4.5)
CGNakibe: (So Priam's character, Tareen, Serran, Oxblood, Zeiren, Helena, Sigov)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Damnit)
PapatymisonN: (Woo! I'm good!)
GM Archmage: (Also, use your base move, not rounded off.)
Besyanteo: (still 4)
Lithaladhwen: (3.75 total, then, if you factor in the armor weight.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (4 total. T_T I'm still slow...)
Besyanteo: (also...)
Besyanteo: (Doug an I reroll!)
Besyanteo: (since we both rolled 4. Yes?)
CGNakibe: (No. He rolled a 1 first)
T3chn0Namagomi: (T_T)
Besyanteo: (Ah. ... oh, add them together?)
CGNakibe: (You rolled a 4, and automatically beat him)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I'm going to get oneshotted...)
Besyanteo: (AH.)
Besyanteo: (my mistake.)
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
GM Archmage: (Ilya is up.)
GM Archmage: (There are five soldiers, all in a line, equally far away--30 feet, or 10 yards.)
GM Archmage: (Wait, no, sorry.)
OMG Priam: (Even after the revised speed score?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I have running! I can move!)
GM Archmage: (I horribly misjudged distances.)
KnightsofSquare has entered the room.
Besyanteo: (!)
GM Archmage: (60 feet, or 20 yards.)
Besyanteo: (Hi!)
CGNakibe: (We have 100% more kitty)
T3chn0Namagomi: (FAST!)
GM Archmage: (Also: You cannot move and shoot or move and aim.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Faster, anyway)
KnightsofSquare: (myo)
OMG Priam: (My questioning of speed analysis remains)
GM Archmage: (Double checking)
GM Archmage: (You're the fastest PC, you still get to go first; don't forget that the enemy is wearing armor as well and it's unlikely that they have STR 15. STR 15 is nuts.)
OMG Priam: (Well, I meant, isn't Ox faster)
Lithaladhwen: (It is nuts. Helena is impressive for having STR 12.)
Lithaladhwen: ('specially for a girl.)
GM Archmage: (What is his STR anyway?)
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood has STR 15.)
GM Archmage: (In that case)
GM Archmage: (You get to go first)
PapatymisonN: (Cool!)
PapatymisonN: *is! there! cover?*
Besyanteo: (Ha ha ha.)
GM Archmage: *Hell no. You are in a hallway that is approximately 10 feet wide. The enemy is 60 feet away from you.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Tareen has Dex 14 :D)
PapatymisonN: *aims and fires! or, if not possible, just freakin' fires.*
GM Archmage: *There are some gurneys in the hallway, and also some rolling tables with surgical instruments on them, but they are not terribly good for cover.*
GM Archmage: *You can aim or fire. If you want to snap shot, you may.*
PapatymisonN: *... can I knock over a gurney?*
GM Archmage: *If you would like. Do note that they are not terribly sturdy, being made of stainless steel with padded cotton mattresses; they will probably survive one blaster shot.*
PapatymisonN: *there's something to be said for peace of mind. Can he aim too?*
GM Archmage: *I'll allow that.*
GM Archmage: *Oxblood knocks over a gurney, creating a form of mild cover, and takes aim at a target. Name a soldier, A through E, from left to right.*
PapatymisonN: *B!*
GM Archmage: (Ilya.)
OMG Priam: (How tall is this gurney-cover?)
GM Archmage: *The gurney occupies most of the width of the hallway and is about 2 feet tall. It covers you up to the thighs, more or less.*
OMG Priam: (Is there another one around?)
GM Archmage: *No. There are metal carts, however. If you want to put one of them somewhere for cover, tell me where and how; it may take more than one turn's action*
OMG Priam: (I'm looking to knock one over and immediately hide behind it to get a prone position for aiming down the hall.)
OMG Priam: (So further down the hallway = more gooder)
Lithaladhwen: (Much more betterer.)
GM Archmage: *Okay. Your move is 4, rounded off, so you move 4 hexes (12 feet) down the hallway and turn over a gurney; this takes the entirety of your 1 second turn, so you don't have time to get prone or aim*
GM Archmage: *That work?*
OMG Priam: (Can I kick it over and fall prone in the same motion, but not be in position to aim?)
GM Archmage: (Hmm. Sure.)
OMG Priam: *Does this!*
GM Archmage: *Ilya rushes around the fallen gurney and knocks over a tray, causing scalpels, hypodermic needles, and gauze pads to fly everywhere*
GM Archmage: *A patient in a nearby room screams at the sudden noise*
GM Archmage: *Ilya drops to the ground, peeking out over the fallen tray*
GM Archmage: (Tareen)
GM Archmage: (Putting "battle" as the search criteria in my iTunes was the best idea ever)
CGNakibe: (Brian: How much Win did you come up with?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tareen's gonna try and charge down the hall at them. After all, she has armor, and is made of invincibility!*
CGNakibe: (Also, for those who care I've got the Cave Story - Running Hell remix here)
Lithaladhwen: (I saw criteria and read "clitoris" and then felt stupid.)
GM Archmage: (Tareen is in her engineer suit, which means that she has incredible move speed, equal to her base speed x 4 in miles per hour)
Lithaladhwen: (Cripes.)
PapatymisonN: (Dang.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Woohoo! We have distraction!)
Besyanteo: (=D)
KnightsofSquare: (And she like goes much more faster than bike)
KnightsofSquare: (Goes much more faster than car)
GM Archmage: *Tareen is now within melee range of the enemy*
Besyanteo: (Also, because I must: )
CGNakibe: (Heh.)
KnightsofSquare: (Going speeding going far)
Besyanteo: (SCV RUSH!)
GM Archmage: (Zeiren)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hi, guys! What's going on in this hallway?
Lithaladhwen: (I laughed so loudly that it echoed through my house.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *And Zeiren himself, no fool, drops to a crouching position, ready to take aim when possible*
GM Archmage: *You can't see the eyes of the drow soldiers, but they are panicking as far as you can tell*
GM Archmage: (Dropping prone is your turn. You're prone.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Crouching, not prone)
GM Archmage: (Crouch, then.)
GM Archmage: *One of the soldiers, startled by Tareen's sudden charge, discharges his blaster rifle at her*
GM Archmage: Oxblood
GM Archmage: (Er, whoops)

CGNakibe: (No, its TAREEN! SUPER AWESOME SLIME)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (..Er0
TheWaiChibiAngel: (What the hell)
GM Archmage: (Shit, nice. Add PD to your base move to determine effective dodge.
GM Archmage: )
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Let's try that again as a number appears to have gotten crossed)
PapatymisonN: (Wait.... don't tell me she dodged them ALL?)
GM Archmage: (Oh wait.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Those were all D3s)
GM Archmage: (Those are THREE sided dice)
CGNakibe: (>.>;; She get a bonus based on her MASSIVE RUNNING SPEED?)

CGNakibe: (One auto-fail)

Besyanteo: (Good thing she's made of invincible and awesome?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Good thing she's got a suit)
GM Archmage: (Tareen's DR is 65, so taking two blasts for 11 and 12 respectively is basically completely irrelevant.)
GM Archmage: *Tareen's armor absorbs the entirety of the enemy blaster fire*
GM Archmage: (Hel)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Heehee.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Also; gonna be looking to take Reako home at 1:30 at the latest.)
CGNakibe: (She is indeed made of Win and Awesome)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: She goes after ARMORS with that suit. What're some dinky guns going to do to that?
GM Archmage: (That's fine by me. If we have to break, we break. I can stay up as late as need be.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: This is almost as bad as with the last invasion...*mental laugh*
Besyanteo: (ditto, really. :o)
Besyanteo: (testing)
GM Archmage: (I wasn't in the mood to GM when we started, but now I am crazy in the mood to GM.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I find that happens.)
GM Archmage: (I blame some combination of drunkenness and the fact that this RP is just insane.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (:D)
OMG Priam: (drunk + Tareen = ?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Back to RP?)
Besyanteo: (I have just ntoiced something.)
Besyanteo: (we don't all have the same DR. o_o)
Lithaladhwen: (No we don't.)
Besyanteo: (I mean, Tareen aside.)
CGNakibe: (Brian changed the suits for the pilots?)
CGNakibe: (I still have the DR 40 stuff from our Building Raid here.)
Besyanteo: (If that's the case and I missed it, then cool. I'm just makign sure there's no typos on my stuff.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I thought we had DR 65 body/35 head here...o.o)
Besyanteo: (I was just told 65.)
GM Archmage: (You're in marine armor. PD 6, DR 65.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Thought so)
GM Archmage: (All of you.
GM Archmage: )
Besyanteo: (*nod*)
CGNakibe: (Ah. Noted)
Besyanteo: (spiff! Glad to have helped. :o)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Except Tareen, who's in Awesome armor.)
Besyanteo: (I will still always imagine her as an SCV.)
Besyanteo: (Because she's a suited mechanic.)
GM Archmage: (Tareen and Helena have equal DR, but they're in mage armor, basically)
Lithaladhwen: *Hel approaches behind Tareen, though she's a considerable distance behind.*
GM Archmage: *Helena rushes forward; she's now 42 feet or 14 hexes from the target*
CGNakibe: (Helena: Corp Por!)
Besyanteo: (*shudders*)
GM Archmage: *Soldier A, on the far left, switches to automatic fire and lets loose at Tareen; she's in his fucking face, for crying out loud!*

GM Archmage: (Your dodge is what, 12? Second fails.)
CGNakibe: (By 1. >.<)
GM Archmage: (Good enough to hit by 4. Whole burst hits.)
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 12 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 6 6 2 5 6 6 5 4 6
GM Archmage: (Total 63. Not good enough to break DR.)
Lithaladhwen: (Wow. And that was good roll, too)
GM Archmage: *The soldier in question is freaking out as he uses his laser like a garden hose, trying to spray Tareen desperately to get her out of his face, but the blast doesn't penetrate armor*
GM Archmage: *Soldier D takes aim at something*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Break here, please?)
CGNakibe: (Nothing can penetrate Rocket Slime's Skintanium armor)
GM Archmage: (Gotta take Reako home I take it?)
CGNakibe: (Break time? BREAK TIME!)
GM Archmage: (Out of curiosity, how long will that take?)
CGNakibe: (CHANGE PLACES! *rushes the table*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Half an hour to an hour)
Besyanteo: (SEGATA sanshiro SEGATA sanshiro - )
Lithaladhwen: (So that's you and Priam,yes?)
CGNakibe: (Bes: Did I give you that? o.o)
GM Archmage: (OK. Is everyone okay with taking a break that long?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Sure)
PapatymisonN: (No sweat.)
Besyanteo: (Yes, and I saw it again at the con)
Besyanteo: (that's fine. :o)
Besyanteo: (I can do dishes now!)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay!)
GM Archmage: (Noted. We break for Shini, then.)
Besyanteo: (*does*)
GM Archmage: (When it's over, it will be Sigov's turn.)
GM Archmage: (Shoot me an IM when you get back or something.)
PapatymisonN: (*needs to stay awake.*
GM Archmage: (Dose up on caffeine. s'what I did.)
PapatymisonN: (Don't got any. All we got for pop is Sprite and ginger ale. And I'd drink coffee, but the folks are asleep.)
GM Archmage: (I actually bought some caffeine tablets the other day so that I could maintain consciousness while either RPing late at night or drinking. *chuckles*)
Lithaladhwen: (Watch porn. Have a wank, then come back.)
PapatymisonN: (SHH! That's not public knowledge yet!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...these fights always make me more nervous than the mecha ones)
PapatymisonN: (Cuz you're considerably more squishy than a mech?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Exactly)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Also considerably less mobile)
Lithaladhwen: (Meanwhile, I feel a hell of a lot better.)
Lithaladhwen: (And Hel feels a hell of a lot better. Get it?)
Lithaladhwen: (Hell?)
Lithaladhwen: (It's a pun, see.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...)
Lithaladhwen: (With her name.)
Lithaladhwen: (Which is Hel.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (*throws a robot at you*)
Lithaladhwen: (>_o Ow, man. That hurts.)
Lithaladhwen: (*throws a robot in a robot at you*)
T3chn0Namagomi: (*squished*)
Besyanteo: (Yarr!)
Besyanteo: (Because we have free time and I want to double check: )
Besyanteo: (SS 15 means that with a skill of 15 or higher, I can snap shot without penalty, yes?)
OMG Priam: (THROWING A SHIP IS CHEATING. TAKE IT BACK!)
GM Archmage: (XD)
GM Archmage: (Hel would feel better)
GM Archmage: (Mecha weapons are like 6d * 40)
GM Archmage: (Hand weapons are like 8d)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or 4d+4)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Also...MACHINE GUN IN HELL)
GM Archmage: (A blaster rifle is 8d+8; a screamer is 4d+4 with extra effects if it gets through armor; a disruptor is even less, but every point that gets through DR is tripled)
GM Archmage: (A disruptor is a microwave weapon, so it causes water in tissue to boil, dealing a shitload of damage to lightly armored targets)
GM Archmage has left the room.
GM Archmage has entered the room.
PapatymisonN: (Which is why he and I picked it!)
GM Archmage: (Meanwhile a screamer's ability to tear flesh will rip off limbs)
GM Archmage: (My favorite GURPS weapon is still the TL8 gauss needler)
Lithaladhwen: (Gauss needlers! Alita had one. She loved it.)
GM Archmage: (It fires spikes several inches long at a rate of fire of 20)
Besyanteo: (Whee. So does my 2d* RoF 8 laser rifle rank as good? o.o)
PapatymisonN: (The Master Chief would be proud.)
GM Archmage: (They penetrate kevlar with ease, reducing it to PD 1, DR 2)
Lithaladhwen: (In case people are bored, read this article by one of my professor-friends.)
Lithaladhwen: (It's worth it, I swear.)
GM Archmage: (Your rifle's damage is summed becuase it has no recoil; the result of this is that it gets to add its damage before DR instead of DR being subtracted from each shot)
GM Archmage: (If you aim for the head you can probably decap someone if you roll half-decent damage)
OMG Priam: (I like it even after the first paragraph alone)
Lithaladhwen: (His six-year-old son plays D&D.)
GM Archmage: (Dr. McGrath is awesome.)
CGNakibe: (I have seen this. Ashley knows my opinion here)
CGNakibe: (But for the rest of you? I wholeheartedly support this man and his views here. *nod nod*)
Lithaladhwen: (I posted it in my journal as well, because for some reason I haven't sent this to everyone already.)
GM Archmage: (Having met him, I must say I have infinitely more respect for him than I did previously.)
GM Archmage: (Hell, I have a lot of respect for all my profs; he's not mine, but I respect him anyway. He's even more awesome than the prof I had who drew a chemical structure for both epinephrine and diphenhydramine from memory)
Lithaladhwen: (Dr. McGrath and I spent much of our India trip trying to convince Cassie and Boomanji to try D&D.)
PapatymisonN: (I hate crazy right-wingers. I do. But, then again, if you hold to a belief that's even relatively widespread, there's BOUND to be someone who "holds the same beliefs" but makes you look like an EVIL SECT.)
Lithaladhwen: (Boomanji said he wouldn't because he knew he'd get addicted.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I now regret choosing the damn Screamer)
CGNakibe: (I don't)
CGNakibe: (Every fruitcake has its NUTS)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I thought it would, you know, have some sort of armor-penetrating deal...)
CGNakibe: (Although when I think of it THAT way...)
CGNakibe: (This doesn't speak well of Scientology)
CGNakibe: (Its full of nuts. >:P)
Besyanteo: (Buh. I have a hard time looking at any religous argument anymore. Even if I agree with it. I'm sick to death with hearing what other people think about my beleifs, whether they're denouncing them, or claiming to uphold them.)
Lithaladhwen: (Bes: Did you read what I linked?)
Besyanteo: (I read about the first 4 or 5 paragraphs)
Besyanteo: (I do like it. I just don't want to thuink on it much this evening.)
Lithaladhwen: (Heh. His other articles are fun. He has one on antidisestablishmentarianism.)
Besyanteo: (... It's funny how I know that word not because I can read it, because I can't, )
Besyanteo: (But because I can recognize "anti-longgarble")
Lithaladhwen: (Indeed.)
PapatymisonN: (*decides that this is what the disruptor rifle looks like*)
GM Archmage: (Well, that's not what GURPS Ultra-Tech says, but I don't honestly care)
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes on Ballos 2 with...the Nemesis*
GM Archmage: *()
PapatymisonN: (You there! GM-human! Find me this book, these images! I wish to... PERUSE them... e_e )
Lithaladhwen: (Cripes. We're at forty minutes. I'm okay! I can keep going!)
Besyanteo: (*draws a happy stick figure gun for Sigov*)
GM Archmage: (I haven't got a handy scanner.)
Besyanteo: (... Oxblood.)
CGNakibe: (Doug? M or I model guns for Serran?)
Besyanteo: (Dude. Why do I keep crossing their names?)
CGNakibe: (Sorry, for Zeiren)

PapatymisonN: (... Ichigo calls him MASTER? What the HELL? e_e)
PapatymisonN: (*annoyed with the Bleach dub*)
PapatymisonN: (And the thing is, that was ep TWENTY.)
PapatymisonN: (They have NINETY episodes to butcher, and more past that.)
PapatymisonN: (Inexcusable!)
GM Archmage: (The latest Bleach ep is kinda not quite what I was hoping for.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Woo! I did it!)
PapatymisonN: (.... it had kancho!)
GM Archmage: (It did.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...given, ran out of missiles somehow. But...^.^ Machine gun FTW!)
PapatymisonN: (And ________ _________ kicking the stuffing out of that Arrancar!)
GM Archmage: (Fuck yeah)
PapatymisonN: (And we still haven't seen what the DECENT Arrancar can do onscreen.)
OMG Priam: (Ah. I should thank you guys for reminding me not to get into Bleach =D)
PapatymisonN: (No problem.)
KnightsofSquare: (Don't drink Bleach, either)
KnightsofSquare: No matter what the internet tells you
GM Archmage: (It will hurt your insides)
PapatymisonN: (That it will.)
Lithaladhwen: (Bleach is good as long as it's in Japanese. I hate to say it because it sounds really elitist, but the English is abominable. It is a creation of Satan himself.)
OMG Priam: (I very much doubt that)
Lithaladhwen: (The English is... saddening. The Japanese is better than the title suggests.)
PapatymisonN: (It is.)
PapatymisonN: (All the English voices run together. They all sound either the same as each other or completely out of character.)
PapatymisonN: (Although I did kinda like Orihime's actress...)
PapatymisonN: (In any event, Ichigo is played by JOHNNY YONG BOSCH.)
PapatymisonN: (AKA one of the Power Rangers who COULDN'T act.)
CGNakibe: (Hey, the same guy worked just fine for Vash the Stampede, Charles. He's not THAT terrible at voicework at all)
Lithaladhwen: (So Priam. Any idea when Shini will be back?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Seriously. It's been more than a bloody hour...)
Lithaladhwen: (47 minutes, I think.)
Lithaladhwen: (51.)
OMG Priam: (Just over an hour, according to my timestamp)
Lithaladhwen: (Ah. I was checking his AIM idleness.)
PapatymisonN: (Too. Damn. Long.)
Besyanteo: (There are any number of things that could delay him.)
CGNakibe: (He did say an hour.)
Lithaladhwen: (He did.)
OMG Priam: (But anyway, no. No idea, really. Should be soonish, it takes roundabout a half hour to get to Reako's)
PapatymisonN: (He did?)
Besyanteo: (Traffic cops, for example.)
CGNakibe: (And patience is a virtue.)
Lithaladhwen: (And we agreed to wait.)
OMG Priam: (Maybe a little over)
CGNakibe: (All those speed limits and traffic lights. >:P)
OMG Priam: (Indeed we did! Plus I'm playing Scrabble and enjoying not having eighty things for people to demand of me. I WILL ENJOY IT FOR A WHILE LONGER)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Being a marine is not fun)
Besyanteo: (Dude.)
PapatymisonN: (*cuts off Priam's head, drinks blood out of his head's stump like a Freezie*)
Besyanteo: (We're nearly impervious to attack so far.)
Besyanteo: (Being a Marine ain't so bad right now.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (One's aiming.)
Besyanteo: (It'll suck for him when I snap shot him with 2 4 shot bursts without any penalties then.)
PapatymisonN: (Also, why the heck is there a reality show about guys picking up chicks on the COMEDY Netowrk?)
CGNakibe: (Think about it.)
PapatymisonN: (Guys who are GOOD at it.)
Besyanteo: (Because TV=Suck.)
CGNakibe: (Okay, now THAT's strange unless the guys are gay. >:P)
Besyanteo: (Welcome to life since the 90s.)
CGNakibe: (Life is full of hate, Bes.)
PapatymisonN: (Since AFTER the 90s.)
CGNakibe: (Why is life full of hate?)
PapatymisonN: (I miss me some Gargoyles.)
Besyanteo: (Eh.)
Besyanteo: (I liked it at first. Then the plot tried to go deeper,)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I miss Battlebots)
Besyanteo: (and just got worse and worse.)
PapatymisonN: (Shush you.0
Besyanteo: (Battlebots... that sounds familiar.)
Besyanteo: (... No wait.)
CGNakibe: (We don't speak of the Season With No Name, Bes.)
PapatymisonN: (We only condemn Goliath Chronicles.)
Besyanteo: (I'm confusing that with robot wars.)
CGNakibe: (It doesn't exist, Charles. Therefore, it has no name.)
PapatymisonN: (Good point.)
Besyanteo: (I don't recall these. I may have not... Hm. Wait. The Avalon stuff?)
PapatymisonN: (Was good!)
CGNakibe: (Yeah, after Avalon)
Besyanteo: (Where he gets the Eye of Odin?)
CGNakibe: (Has to give it back in the end)
GM Archmage: (oh my GOD)
PapatymisonN: (Mm. To Odin, appropriately.)
GM Archmage: (I have not laughed so hard in forever)
Besyanteo: (I liked that on the grounds that he stopped being perfect for a while.)
PapatymisonN: (I still remember the incantation for the Phoenix Gate.)
CGNakibe: (Bes: Everything after that is nonexistent. e.e)
Besyanteo: (He's like an angsty super man.)
CGNakibe: (He really is.)
PapatymisonN: (Deflagrate muri tempe et intervalia!)
Besyanteo: (*STAB*)
OMG Priam: (he has returned =( )
PapatymisonN: (Ow!)
CGNakibe: (To be honest? Goliath never was quite my favorite, though I like him anyway)
Besyanteo: (LExington?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (:O)
PapatymisonN: (Keith David played Goliath.)
CGNakibe: (Brooklyn, actually.)
PapatymisonN: (HE HAS MY LOVE.)
Besyanteo: (Oh. I see!)
CGNakibe: (Lex is second)
PapatymisonN: (I liked Brooklyn next.)
Lithaladhwen: (I broke Brian.)
Lithaladhwen: (I broke him with my Scanner Darkly reference.)
PapatymisonN: (So fix him.)
Lithaladhwen: (I shouldn't have done this while he was drunk.)
GM Archmage: (Shit, Shini is back)
GM Archmage: (OK, everyone here?)
Besyanteo: (NO)
PapatymisonN: (Hai!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (MAYBE)
Lithaladhwen: (I am. What the fuck were we doing? I've been vicariously tripping.)
GM Archmage: (I have not laughed this hard in years)
Besyanteo: (also: FFS, why have I been hungry all damn day? I eat normally but am not feeling satisfied.)
GM Archmage: (Being wasted and reading Kai's profile and having seen A Scanner Darkly ruined me)
GM Archmage: (Anyway, it's Oxblood's turn)
Besyanteo: (Avoiding eatting again because it can't possibly be healthy.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...Sigov's)
PapatymisonN: (Yes, Sigov's.)
Besyanteo: (Also, yeah.... I never got one so far.)
GM Archmage: (Sigov, right, now that I double-checked the init ordr)
Besyanteo: *WELL!*
GM Archmage: (One orc is as good as another =P)
Besyanteo: (>:-)
PapatymisonN: (He's a damn apple! :P)
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood is PURE!)
Besyanteo: (There's someone obviously aiming at us, instead of freaking out over Tareen?)
Lithaladhwen: (Helena: You mortals with your racial distinctions. Y'all look the same to me.)
GM Archmage: (OK, both Ilya and Oxblood have knocked over miscellaneous objects to serve as cover)
CGNakibe: (*sends werewolves after Oxblood*)
GM Archmage: (Therefore, you can kneel, drop prone, move, aim, whatever you want; it is not in fact clear who your enemies are aiming at)
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood: *eats well THAT night!*)
Besyanteo: (Right.)
Besyanteo: *He will kneel and snapshot two bursts at Draw A.*
Besyanteo: (Drow even)
GM Archmage: (Kneeling is an action; since rounds are 1 second in GURPS that's your turn.)
Besyanteo: (Meep.)
GM Archmage: (You're less likely to be hit, though, which makes it worth the effort.)
Besyanteo: (Yay!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Same with crouching)
GM Archmage: (Both are a -2 to enemy fire.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yep)
GM Archmage: *Soldier C takes aim*
GM Archmage: *Soldier E takes aim*
GM Archmage: (Oxblood)
GM Archmage: (You are 60 feet to target)
GM Archmage: (There are five soldiers, you are aiming at soldier B
GM Archmage: )
PapatymisonN: *fires a three round burst at B!*
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 5 1
T3chn0Namagomi: (Two more)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 5 2
GM Archmage: (As such, you get a +Acc bonus to hit; since you are using a disruptor that's +10 or your skill, whichever is greater; your penalty for size/range is -6, totalling a +4 bonus to hit)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 2 3
GM Archmage: (Aiming for body or head?)
PapatymisonN: (Body. And all those pass.)
GM Archmage: (OK.)
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 6 3
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 5 4

GM Archmage: (Second one hits. Roll damage.)
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 3
PapatymisonN: (That's 11 damage, impaling.)
GM Archmage: *Doesn't break DR; the enemy seems largely unbothered by the sudden burst of flesh-boiling microwave energy. Perhaps the metallic armor is largely reflecting it?*
GM Archmage: (Ilya.)
OMG Priam: (Okay, this is where I have a technical question.)
OMG Priam: (What in blue blazes is the relevant skill for firing off a rifle?)
GM Archmage: (Beam Weapons.)
OMG Priam: (Con-goddamned-sarnit GURU having too much shit to look through. Mind if I spend those 6CP you gave at creation on that retroactively, since I did not otherwise dedicate those points?)
CGNakibe: (Or if you're me, Guns: Rifle, which I have ranks in too. >:P)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...it's P/E)
GM Archmage: (Yes. It's P/E, so 1 point gets you the skill at DEX. Your IQ is 12, so you get a +1 bonus. Therefore spending 1 point gets you the skill at 16)
GM Archmage: (If you spend all 6 points...)
T3chn0Namagomi: (You can't. Just 4)
OMG Priam: (Right.)
OMG Priam: (Which I will do, if that is all right.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Which equals DEX+2 base)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Plus the +2 IQ bons)
T3chn0Namagomi: (*bonus)
GM Archmage: (Therefore you have a skill of 19.)
OMG Priam: (Kay.)
GM Archmage: (You're at -5 for range. Therefore your effective skill is 14. You take no snap-shot penalty. Roll vs. 14.)
OMG Priam: *repositions herself, and takes aim at C "is for cookie" Drow.*
OMG Priam: (But no shot this round!)
GM Archmage: (Aiming. You get your weapon's Acc, up to your skill, to your to-hit next round.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ass.)
OMG Priam: (What? She doesn't like taking shots without looking real hard first.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (:-( If I get headshotted by him, it's your fault.)
KnightsofSquare: (No, you misunderstand. He was just admiring her ass.)
Lithaladhwen: (And if she headshots him and kills him, you have her to thank.)
GM Archmage: (She's got a sniper rifle. I understand completely.)
GM Archmage: (Tareen. You're at melee range.
GM Archmage: )
GM Archmage: (Also, I highly recommend Final Fantasy Fire Cross, an OC remix by LuIZa.)
Lithaladhwen: (*listens to it for the LulZ*)
Besyanteo: (=P)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Takes a look at what her options are!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And, keeping in mind that her suit is designed to rip up mechs, she's going to backhand one of the soldiers, in the helmet. Lightly.*
Besyanteo: (goign to see about putting together impromptu music, since I can't use the comptuer speakers for it. I has a discman I found recently. Maybe it works!)
GM Archmage: (OK. Roll a melee attack. Battlesuit. Your skill is 15.)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 3 6-sided dice: 3 1 2
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Hee)
Lithaladhwen: (To stay awake, I'm going to read the textbook from my sex course.)
CGNakibe: (Mew. Am I in this fight somewhere? o.o;; *does not recall a first turn*)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...crap.)
GM Archmage: (Shit)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...I say Serran gets a retroactive free action)
GM Archmage: (What's your speed, minus 2 if your ST is not 15 and minus 1 if your ST is not 13)
GM Archmage: (I'll let you have a retroactive aim or other action since we missed your turn first round)
CGNakibe: (Speed's 6_
CGNakibe: (4 with the encumberance penalty)
Lithaladhwen: (Did you know that rats can be trained to learn a maze if they find a willing sex partner at the end of it?)
GM Archmage: (OK, I know where you go in terms of turn order)
GM Archmage: (You want to spend your first round doing what?)
OnlineHost: GM Archmage rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 1 6
CGNakibe: (Since it takes a second, kneeling. Aiming too if possible, but that's definitely good)
GM Archmage: (Also, Tareen's target fails to dodge; roll damage, Shini)
GM Archmage: (You kneel, Serran)
KnightsofSquare: (interesting. Can they be trained to spend too much money on a variety of products with merely the implication of a willing sex partner as the reward?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I don't even know what to roll ;_;-)
GM Archmage: (You roll 4d of damage)
CGNakibe: (No, but I'm pretty sure rats aren't as "smart" as humans. >:P)
GM Archmage: (Those are d6 by the way)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Roit)
GM Archmage: (You're using your vibroclaws, right?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (We'll say yes.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (But backhanding, so, concussion as opposed to ripped face.)
KnightsofSquare: (Someone is getting reduced to a fine red mist)
OnlineHost: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 1 3 3
GM Archmage: (Good choice. They're designed to rip open mecha armor, so your enemy is at DR/10...)
OMG Priam: (At least he's in a hospital)
GM Archmage: (3 hits.)
PapatymisonN: (... ow.)
CGNakibe: (Everyone loves the red mist)
GM Archmage: *Tareen slices across the face of soldier B, cutting him pretty badly; blood sprays all over Tareen's armor*
Besyanteo: (B;ah? I only just saw the bit about St 13. Sigov should have move 5. Whoops. >_>; Ah well. He's fine where he is.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: Agh! I didn't mean to do that!
GM Archmage: (Zeiren)
GM Archmage: C: What do you mean you didn't mean to do that!?
Besyanteo: (also: Tehre needs to be a working discman somewhere in this house.)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay, I can't even focus on a book about sex. I need food.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I didn't mean to rip his face!
Besyanteo: (Or atleast a headphone jack on the computer)
PapatymisonN: (Cyber with Brian in the background?)
GM Archmage: C: *swallowing* Cut him down! He's in the way!
Besyanteo: IM: Brain dead waste of...
GM Archmage: *there is a familiar-sounding scream from a room at the end of the hallway...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *and Zeiren goes and decides to take aim at one of the soldiers (D)*

GM Archmage: (Helena)
Lithaladhwen: *Helena continues to approach.*
GM Archmage: *Helena is now 28 feet from the enemy, or 9 hexes.*
CGNakibe: (Helena: Do not resist. Death is inevitable)

Lithaladhwen: (Resh has power of veto over only one thing. He uses it from time to time.)
GM Archmage: *Unfortunately he blasts slightly too high, putting craters in the wall*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Resh: OBJECTION! Bullet Hole: OVERRULED! Resh: HOLD IT!)

GM Archmage: *Suddenly, a burst of plasma burns through the wall*
Lithaladhwen: (Oh, lovely.)
GM Archmage: *The hospital wall behind the enemy soldiers melts without reservation, and a flamer blast surges through the structure...*
Besyanteo: IM: Ohshi-
Lithaladhwen: (Ah, yes. I forgot. We hadn't destroyed Angel Grove yet.)
GM Archmage: *Outside is a large mech; it's black in color, with enormous cloak-like fringes...in fact, it looks a lot like a mechanical wraith*
PapatymisonN: (*the Rangers immediately fire upon Oxblood, thinking him an evil monster*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Lemme guess, my job?
PapatymisonN: ...
GM Archmage: C: Oh, shit.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...you've GOT TO BE SHITTING ME.

OMG Priam: *Is up and running, instead of talking!*
Besyanteo: (Also: )
GM Archmage: *projected sound from the armor* Hello! How are you, Delta unit?
Besyanteo: (NEvermind then!)
PapatymisonN: ... doin' fine, right now...
PapatymisonN: You?
Lithaladhwen: Armed and religious, as always.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Is it Izue's voice?*
GM Archmage: Izue's voice, from the armor: Fantastic!
Besyanteo: (Whose Izue again? <.<;-)
PapatymisonN: Good to hear, Izzy.
PapatymisonN: (That'd be the mastermind.)
Besyanteo: (Who's.... Who is. Who is works.)
GM Archmage: Izue: Listen, I'll fry you all if you move. The lives of those drow soldiers in the hall mean nothing to me, you hear?
Lithaladhwen: You and me both.
CGNakibe: (The scientist that worked on the ghost-merged armors)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...shit.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Why were we ordered into this again?
GM Archmage: Izue: That's what I thought.
OMG Priam: *Unless this gets GM-retconned, has found new cover behind a part of the building, like a corridor or something, during the talking!*
GM Archmage: (Works for me.)
Besyanteo: *already looking for a point on the mech that would be weak, or otherwise bad if it got shot fro man engineering standpoint*
PapatymisonN: So what's on your mind, asshole?
Besyanteo: *possibly the barrrel of that flamer*
GM Archmage: Izue: You can have your friend back. He's not that important to me, either. I'm not interested in any of this nonsense.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, Makura? He's a pretty good kid. Not much more important to me than the soldiers to tell you the truth but hey. It'll make my allies happy.
CGNakibe: IM: Shit... is there ANY good target on that guy? Damn.
Besyanteo: (Should I roll for this, or just sit for a bit?)
GM Archmage: (Make an Engineer roll.)
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: ...damnit, WHY is it that I get stuck against an Armor without an Armor?
OnlineHost: Besyanteo rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 4 3
T3chn0Namagomi: ...What's the catch?
CGNakibe: IM: Why couldn't WE have snuck up on HIM in an armor?
Besyanteo: (succcess.)
Besyanteo: (11 vs 16)
OMG Priam: (May I make a tactics check to figure out some sort of diversion or escape?)
GM Archmage: *The weakest point of Izue's mecha, as Sigove recognizes, is the cockpit. He realizes that it is not a custom mecha; in fact, it's a DEMO-03 Banshee, designed to raze structures and static objects with sonic attacks.*
GM Archmage: (You may.)
OnlineHost: OMG Priam rolled 3 6-sided dice: 5 2 5
OMG Priam: (12 < 13)
Besyanteo: IM: ... Which is still risky as hell. The chances of penetrating...
Besyanteo: *fumes*
GM Archmage: *It occurs to Ilya that the best thing to do is to put a significant amount of material between herself and the enemy armor; that way she can survive an attack because the fact is that its weapons cannot penetrate several hundred
GM Archmage: feet of concrete.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Likewise, tactics check on how to possibly get out of the line of fire without getting pwnierized?)
GM Archmage: *The best move seems to be to retreat to the stairwell.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Should I..Should I jump on him anyway?
Besyanteo: IM: ... Should she? She has a hell of a better chance than any of us.
GM Archmage: C: It's too risky, Tareen!
OMG Priam: (Tactics roll to advise Tareen?)
Besyanteo: (our suits have closed comes to Tareen? Yes/no?)
Lithaladhwen: I think Zeiren asked you a question. What's the catch? What reason do you have to turn over some drow kid to his allies?
PapatymisonN: IM: Mole.
Besyanteo: (coms*)
GM Archmage: Izue: I don't need him.
GM Archmage: Izue: Isn't that enough?
OMG Priam: im: He has every reason to kill us, if he doesn't mind blowing up a hospital...
OMG Priam: ....*moves towards the staircase, carefully.*
GM Archmage: *meanwhile, the drow soldiers at the end of the hall, realizing that their "leader" cares not for their lives, are fleeing*
CGNakibe: IM: What the hell is he waiting for?
GM Archmage: *You can take a shot at them or move for cover*
Besyanteo: ( :-( ?)
PapatymisonN: *lets the little bastards run*
GM Archmage: (Yes, Bes.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Has yet to move!*
Lithaladhwen: All right. For the sake of relieving you of cumbersome humanoids, where is Makura?
Besyanteo: C: Listen guys.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Huh?
PapatymisonN: C: Yeah?
CGNakibe: C: You got a plan? I could use a plan about now.
Besyanteo: C: If we can get out of the line of fire, Tareen might have a chance... if she goes right for the cock pit, and crushes the pilot.
GM Archmage: *Helena hears a panicked cry; it's definitely Makura's voice.
GM Archmage: *
Besyanteo: C: Otherwise we should retreat.
GM Archmage: *And he's at the end of the hall, behind where the enemy soldiers were.*
Besyanteo: C: Nothing we got here will penetrate.
CGNakibe: C: Retreat's looking mighty good now, yeah.
Besyanteo: C: Except her.
GM Archmage: *They have, at this point, leapt out of the hole in the wall created by Izue's mech.*
PapatymisonN: C: Let's do it. Nab Makura and let's go.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Indeed.
Lithaladhwen: All right. Well, I'm going to go get him. If you blow me up for it, I'm going to be pissed.
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: IM: Oy.
Lithaladhwen: C: Makura's not far. I'm going to go see how he's doing.
OMG Priam: im: Shoulda stayed outside. Tch, second guessing my hunches never pays off...
GM Archmage: Izue: Hah. At fifteen-ex magnification I can see every hair on your body shaking. At least, the ones that are visible through that marine armor. Not that it would last long if I let loose with my Banshee's Wail.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Yes. I'm petrified of death.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Still has yet to move!*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm about to lose control of my bowels, I'm so scared.
GM Archmage: Izue: I'll let you live...this time. You can have your friend, if you can convince...him. This isn't a fair fight.
Lithaladhwen: The hell are you talking about, kid?
Besyanteo: *Have the others, Tareen and Helena aside, gone for cover?*
OMG Priam: im: Shit! He's a Tek, he's got another personality in there!
GM Archmage: Izue: Your pilots and I are going to have a showdown, auntie. I'm not interested in frying you with some satellite, unlike Kamen.
Lithaladhwen: Uh huh. Um. You guys do that. I'm glad you're all very excited about your giant robots. I'm going to go get Makura and at least eyeball the boy.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...So, you put him in that A2, didn't you?
GM Archmage: Izue: Who, Kamen? Not hardly. He employs me. Rude thing to do to your boss.
T3chn0Namagomi: Makura.
Lithaladhwen: I told you Makura isn't dead. At least according to Kevin. Makura isn't due to be processed for a while.
GM Archmage: Izue: No way. Waste of a good pilot, as I understand it. Besides, he wouldn't let me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Heh...
GM Archmage: Izue: I'll see you bastards again soon. Trust me.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Guys, what should I do!?
Lithaladhwen: Oh, so it's voluntary? Cute. *sighs and starts in Makura's direction*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Let him go.
Besyanteo: C: I wish I knew Tareen.
Besyanteo: (Scratch)
T3chn0Namagomi: C: We can't win.
Lithaladhwen: C: Let him go this time. He'll find us again and have his petty little robot-fight.
PapatymisonN: C: But we will, eventually.
Lithaladhwen: C: We'll talk to him again then.
GM Archmage: Izue: I have enough souls for my tastes. Soon I'll have the means to destroy all life on this continent and subjugate it with the power of scientific thought.
Lithaladhwen: ..........I don't know and have no opinion.
Lithaladhwen: *continues off toward Makura's location*
Besyanteo: (Dammit Jet.)
GM Archmage: *Helena looks to the left, into the room on the far end of the hallway...*
T3chn0Namagomi: How cute.
T3chn0Namagomi: *follows Helena*
GM Archmage: *There's a very angry looking drow holding a pistol to the head of Makura, who is tied up in a chair*
PapatymisonN: *eyeing the mech*
Lithaladhwen: Oh, for fuck's sake. You fucking mortals and your guns.
CGNakibe: C: Its nice to have rivals.
GM Archmage: Izue: Later, boys. *the mecha takes to the air, flying away into the distance*
Besyanteo: .... Shit.
PapatymisonN: ... *moves in to secure Makura's room.
GM Archmage: Drow: Move one more inch and I'll blow his brains onto the floor.
T3chn0Namagomi: >_>We couldn't have won anyway.
Lithaladhwen: *beckons the drow with the gun to come closer* Come here, you. Give me your ward and I don't dissolve your soul.
Besyanteo: *heads down to see what the fuck Helena is doing*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Eases up some*
Besyanteo: *... stops outside the door*
Lithaladhwen: Because I can. I could kill you, materialize your ghost... and destroy it.
GM Archmage: Makura: ......
Besyanteo: IM: That sounds bad.
Lithaladhwen: But I don't really care.
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 6 1 1
Lithaladhwen: (Intimidation roll. 8<16.)
PapatymisonN: (...)
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< She can...you don't want to know what she is...
GM Archmage: *the drow with the gun shivers a little*
Lithaladhwen: I'm actually kind of a monster. It's not good that I'm here.
Lithaladhwen: But give me the kid.
GM Archmage: Drow: I told you...come any closer and I will kill him...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Your appearance suggests otherwise.
GM Archmage: Makura: Benten...you don't want to mess with her.
Lithaladhwen: Oh! It's Benten. We were wondering when you were going to show up.
KnightsofSquare: (I'm not a monster, Tom...well, technically I am. I guess I am.)
PapatymisonN: IM: Well what do ya know...
CGNakibe: *stops outside the room as well.*
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Why. Why are you interested in killing your own brother?
GM Archmage: Benten: Shut up, both of you!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *FOLLOW THE LEADER*
GM Archmage: Makura: Benten...our father is insane.
Besyanteo: IM: if I were a little better shot... Damn.
Lithaladhwen: *tilts her head and watches Benten*
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Do I need to go in there and bust some CAPS?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: No.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: Or winter hats, at least?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Stay out.
Besyanteo: *shakes his head*
Lithaladhwen: You know if you kill Makura you lose your advantage. You're smarter than this.
PapatymisonN: C: Plus, you don't have a gun...
CGNakibe: C: Need fire support?
Besyanteo: IM: ... wait.
Lithaladhwen: I don't want to kill you, because you haven't done anything to me personally.
Besyanteo: C: Just wait people.
GM Archmage: Benten: ......
Lithaladhwen: Don't start.
CGNakibe: C: Just say the word.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: No, Helena's got this.
GM Archmage: Makura: *sighs heavily*
Besyanteo: C: If we agravate this suddenly, it takes one twitch and MAkura dies.
GM Archmage: Benten: *looks at Makura, then at Helena and the others*
OMG Priam: *establishes that the area just outside the building is safe*
CGNakibe: C: I know. I'm waiting.
Besyanteo: *so totally not being inside the room and visible rightn ow.*
T3chn0Namagomi: What do you have to prove by killing your own brother? What do you have to prove with all of this?
GM Archmage: Benten: This is ridiculous. Father is convinced the drow can rule this continent if we put forth any effort at all...and you don't want to?
GM Archmage: Makura: Not really.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Your father is wrong.
GM Archmage: Makura: Listen to the half-demon.
GM Archmage: Makura: MAC is going to crush you if you oppose them. Besides. Who really wants to "rule" Igala? Sounds like a lot more work than I'm interested in.
Lithaladhwen: *ignores the discussion of missions and justifications* Hey Makura. You all right?
T3chn0Namagomi: You're clearly outmatched. Even if you manage to beat out the CFIN, you've also got Valth, plus Ka'thalar and maybe even Prandia to deal with
PapatymisonN: (Now where have I heard that before...)
GM Archmage: Makura: *headshake* You of all people ought to know that worrying about me is a waste of time, Helena.
Lithaladhwen: C: Zeiren?
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Huh?
Lithaladhwen: C: Don't talk to fanatics about being outmatched. We don't care, and we don't listen.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. I summoned an agent of death and he told me you're not due to die for a while.
GM Archmage: Benten: ...why didn't Izue just slaughter you?
Lithaladhwen: Which means that your brother doesn't shoot you in the head, making him much less of an asshole than he seems.
GM Archmage: Makura: You know the radius on mech weapons. You'd be dead, too. Myself as well.
PapatymisonN: *is staying quiet, as he doubts the words of an orc would help the situation...*
Besyanteo: (And for once,)
PapatymisonN: *everyone's an asshole.*
T3chn0Namagomi: He didn't because he wants it to be more sporting, it seems. He doesn't seem to give a fuck about your little agenda.
Besyanteo: (Oxblood makes the good play, while Zeiren makes the bad play.)
GM Archmage: Makura: You can't seriously believe Izue is interested in working with you. He's out of his mind.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Actually, I think he's using you for funding. I've done the same thing, honestly.
Lithaladhwen: Crazed necromancers do that to you.
T3chn0Namagomi: In fact, he sounds like he's simply USING you.
CGNakibe: *from somewhere behind Helena* Sometimes you're only in it for the money.
CGNakibe: Its better that way.
GM Archmage: Benten: *sighs*
GM Archmage: Makura: Benten. Seriously. This is a bunch of bullshit.
Besyanteo: ... C: *orcish cursing*
PapatymisonN: C: ... good ones.
Lithaladhwen: Seriously, Benten? You're destined not to execute your family members. The cosmos is aware that you're better than that. And I've been informed of the same.
Lithaladhwen: So please just quit this crap.
Besyanteo: C: Helena is the only one who sounds HALF concvincing right now. Could everyone else please, SHUT UP?
GM Archmage: Benten: If you say so. *holsters his blaster*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: He did it anyway.
GM Archmage: Makura: Thank you for demonstrating some sanity.
GM Archmage: Cecil: Hooray for the will of the cosmos.
PapatymisonN: Mm.
PapatymisonN: Now can we get the hell out of here?
Lithaladhwen: Makura, we're leaving. Benten... what are you going to do?
T3chn0Namagomi: Continue being Izue's pawn?
GM Archmage: Makura: Kagero and Elsa are morons. You really think the Ka'thalarian drow are in the right, trying to slaughter the people of Igala for no good reason? They never did anything to harm the drow of Ka'thalar.
GM Archmage: Makura: Not really. It's all bullshit. Think of what our ancestors would have done, Benten.
KnightsofSquare: (Will of the cosmos. GENIUS.)
Besyanteo: (Benten: ... Jumped naked aroudn a fire and asked Lolth to smite all humans?)
GM Archmage: Makura: Kage Sentan worked with the slaves to achieve...equality. Slaves, Benten.
Besyanteo: (Makura: YE- ... waitaminute...)
Lithaladhwen: (Helena: Oh, Lolthites. *laughs and shakes her heads* Oh, my.)
Lithaladhwen: (*head)
GM Archmage: Benten: ...he really didn't want to conquer the continent, did he, despite what some might've thought.
Lithaladhwen: (She has only ever had one, unless Resh pulled weirder pranks than I'm guessing.)
GM Archmage: Makura: No, damnit.
PapatymisonN: (... it's an idea.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Can't spell Lolth without lol!)
GM Archmage: Benten: *shrugs and starts to work on releasing Makura from his bonds* Whatever. Equality. I suppose MAC is the closest we're going to get. All that matters is your skill, right, brother?
GM Archmage: Makura: You're still a better pilot than I am. Probably always will be. *smirk*
Besyanteo: C: ... Did...
Besyanteo: C: Did we just recruit him?
GM Archmage: *Makura, freed from his restraints, rises to his feet*
Lithaladhwen: IM: This is insane. Mortals are.... are insane.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: We just might have.
GM Archmage: Makura: So, Delta Unit...what's our mission?
Besyanteo: C;... This is this single most retarded mission I have ever been on.
OMG Priam: C: Sounds like negotiations succeeded up there.
PapatymisonN: Saving the damn continent.
PapatymisonN: ... and welcome back, asshole.
Lithaladhwen: My nephew gets to die as soon as possible. That's my mission.
PapatymisonN: *heads for the stairs*
CGNakibe: You know, same old, same old.
T3chn0Namagomi: Return to base, recuperate, and deal with your insane father's satellite and that Izue bastard.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: I'm going into space!
CGNakibe: Kill some folks, save some folks.
TheWaiChibiAngel: C: But that's just mine.
Lithaladhwen: *glances to Benten* Glad to see that there are two reliable Kuragaris.
GM Archmage: Makura: Thank you, you odiferous imbecile.
Besyanteo: *heads in*
GM Archmage: Benten: Not everyone has forgotten what our family once worked to achieve, millenia ago.
T3chn0Namagomi: *can't help but crack a slight smile*
Besyanteo: Hey. Let's get the hell out of here, before they try to stick MAC with a bill.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Even after just being in a hostage scenario, he's still the jerk he was.
GM Archmage: Makura: Izue has a ridiculous set of principles. He won't raze this hospital.
Lithaladhwen: ....Weird. I guess I'm pulling ahead of him in the mad scientist race for the moment, then.
Lithaladhwen: I suggested we do it.
OMG Priam: *presuming that no contact has been made on the route out* C: Looks like it's all quiet out here. We should be okay for extraction.
T3chn0Namagomi: He wants us. Anyway, let's return to base.
GM Archmage: HQ: Affirmative, Private Duvall.
OMG Priam: (*If contact has been made* C: Shit, why am I bleeding?!)
Besyanteo: Funny how the military wasn't up to bombing a public medical facility, eh? Let's go.
GM Archmage: HQ: We'll extract you via hovercopter momentarily.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Did everyone hear that?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or just Ilya?)
GM Archmage: (All.)
Lithaladhwen: Yeah. Let's head out. *in a moderate display of trust, Hel turns her back on the drow and heads off toward the exit*
T3chn0Namagomi: C: We've got two extra, headquarters.
CGNakibe: *does NOT*
Besyanteo: *ditto Serran*
GM Archmage: M: We have to stop him. *shakes his head* I've been spying on father for the last couple weeks for a reason.
PapatymisonN: *going down the stairs...*
GM Archmage: B: *is silent*
T3chn0Namagomi: Your father wants to wipe anything out with that satellite, and Izue wants to rule the world with those Ghost Armors of his
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Bringing up the rear!*
GM Archmage: M: I told you. Izue is insane.
CGNakibe: *instead, the crazy wannabe spy takes a lean* We probably should get out of this hospital sometime soon. There's sick people here, you know.
GM Archmage: M: He just wants recognition.
T3chn0Namagomi: Let's head out.
Besyanteo: IM: I don't care. Start walking.
T3chn0Namagomi: C: Serran, keep an eye on Benten, just in case
Lithaladhwen: *is already going!*
GM Archmage: M: He used to be a respected genetic engineer. Then someone published an article in an academic journal and he lost his monthly column about biochemical alterations.
PapatymisonN: *is the hospital in chaos? I mean, it just LOST A WALL...
CGNakibe: C: You make it sound like I haven't been already.
T3chn0Namagomi: *starts walking*
Besyanteo: *will take up the rear*
OMG Priam: C@HQ: We have some significant damage to the building here. It's probably not going to crumble, but there's a room-sized hole and some random collateral material damage.
GM Archmage: *You know it. People are running around in terror.*
GM Archmage: HQ: Understood.
T3chn0Namagomi: *Stairs are better to walk down than they are to run up!*
CGNakibe: Izue seems to have this thing about ghost-piloted armors.
CGNakibe: *Ugh. More stairs. What is this, a health club?*
GM Archmage: M: Izue developed a way to summon and bind astral symbiotes to mortal spirits. It's his "claim to fame," if you will.
GM Archmage: M: But no academic journal took him seriously, so he came to my father.
GM Archmage: M: I'm disgusted. I never knew my father was a Ka'thalarian sympathizer.
Lithaladhwen: *to Makura* Izue has attracted attention from more than CFIN.
Lithaladhwen: He's screwed no matter how long it takes.
GM Archmage: M: Elaborate.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I should have jumped on him.
TheWaiChibiAngel: He probably knew the terrible secret.
CGNakibe: Perhaps next time, Tareen.
Besyanteo: ...
CGNakibe: Then you can ask him.
Besyanteo: IM: How are tehse people not dead yet? o_o
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Long story. She'll tell you later.
Lithaladhwen: Thanks, Zeiren.
GM Archmage: B: Our father needs to realize...that this is not what Kage wanted.
CGNakibe: (Serran: I know, right?)
Lithaladhwen: This is not the time or place for my life story, so to speak.
GM Archmage: M: It's...not.
GM Archmage: B: I'm sorry, Makura.
Besyanteo: *OUT EVERYONE GOES?*
GM Archmage: M: *shrugs*
PapatymisonN: *OUT!*
GM Archmage: *everyone is outside; the hovercopter is ready for extraction*
OMG Priam: Glad to see you're not horribly burned to death or anything.
Lithaladhwen: *copter GETTO*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Hovercopter, GO!*
PapatymisonN: *clambers in*
OMG Priam: *boards with them*
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed.
GM Archmage: *Delta Unit + 2 is extracted...*
T3chn0Namagomi: Apparently, he prefers things a bit more...sporting.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, and guys? Elsa is... alive, last I heard. I don't know how she's doing. She may have changed her mind about your father's mission after a talk I had with her.
OMG Priam: Good. That means we can play dirty.
Lithaladhwen: But I can't say for sure.
GM Archmage: *...and within the next fifteen mintues, all of you will be returned to MAC Igala A*
GM Archmage: *But Izue is still at large...*
GM Archmage: *On the plus side, Makura is safe...and Benten Kuragari has been recruited to the side of MAC!*
CGNakibe: You know, this Izue is really getting on my nerves.
GM Archmage: M: ...It's good that she's alive.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I should have jumped on him.
PapatymisonN: Bad news, man.
T3chn0Namagomi: *What seishins does he have? Can he one-shot the final boss with the HTB Cannon?*
GM Archmage: B: *wordless*
Lithaladhwen: She'll need some corrective surgery, I think.
Lithaladhwen: But she's alive.
T3chn0Namagomi: (XP)
GM Archmage: M: Maybe she'll come around. I should talk to her.
T3chn0Namagomi: Quite a bit of corrective surgery, at that.
CGNakibe: (Benten and Makura combine into a mechanized Dragoon and dragon.)
Lithaladhwen: I think you should. I think I freaked her out the last time we saw each other. Might be nice to see a friendly face.
GM Archmage: M: Friendly?
CGNakibe: (Complete with a city-sized lance)
GM Archmage: M: You have a dire misunderstanding of my relationship with my family.
GM Archmage: B: *laughs*
Lithaladhwen: Makura? Last time I was with her I showed her a vision of what her afterlife will look like if she doesn't help us fix this.
OMG Priam: Did you guys get vid of Izue's Techa? I didn't exactly stick around to take a close look, and we can use all the recon we can get.
Lithaladhwen: You're friendly.
GM Archmage: M: Fair. *smirk*
GM Archmage: (Somebody did.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: I think I did, maybe?
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I doubt that thing's his personal A2.
GM Archmage: B: I don't know who you are *to Ilya*...but you haven't seen anything yet.
OMG Priam: All right, good.
OMG Priam: Oh?
GM Archmage: B: That's a stock model, the DEMO-03 "Banshee."
OMG Priam: *@B
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Didn't think it was.
GM Archmage: B: ...SentanCorp poured resources into Izue's ultimate mecha.
T3chn0Namagomi: Too small for combat.
Besyanteo: (Blah. Need to pay more attention.)
GM Archmage: B: It's...
Lithaladhwen: Oh, "ultimate" mecha.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...crap. I hate moneysinks...
GM Archmage: B: ...it's....
CGNakibe: I like this guy even less.
GM Archmage: B: ...hard to describe.
Besyanteo: ... "Fun."
OMG Priam: Take your time. We can go over that at base for analysis.
CGNakibe: *suddenly looks over at Helena* >.>
GM Archmage: B: I'll tell you everything I know.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Right.
Lithaladhwen: Thanks. Maybe I owe you guys the same favor at some point.
CGNakibe: Do you want to kill this guy? Because if not the line is definitely forming.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Trust me, I already hate his ass.
PapatymisonN: He's gonna die.
PapatymisonN: People who point space lasers at me die.
GM Archmage: M: I told you already. Izue is insane.
Lithaladhwen: *to Serran* Oh, someone needs to. I don't care who, because I've got dibs on him after that.
CGNakibe: Its good to see we're on the same page on this.
T3chn0Namagomi: I don't think anyone else CAN do anything after that, Helena. ^^
GM Archmage: B: And I intend to help you. My ancestors worked for peace with Igala's overworlders. This...is not something I can forfiet.
GM Archmage: *forfeit
Besyanteo: (I would not have known the difference.)
Besyanteo: (*illiterate*)
Lithaladhwen: Zeiren? I can still hurt him after he dies.
Lithaladhwen: And you should see what my friends can do.
T3chn0Namagomi: I said "anyone else," didn't I?
Lithaladhwen: *grins*
OMG Priam: Private. *To Serran*
GM Archmage: M: Damnit.
GM Archmage: M: I'm going to need a new cell phone. Izue still has mine, the bastard.
Lithaladhwen: *laughs out loud*
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah...and he used it to try and satellite us.
Besyanteo: Try?
Besyanteo: <_<
T3chn0Namagomi: He didn't kill us, did he?
PapatymisonN: ... you don't think he KEPT it, do you?
Besyanteo: Even so.
OMG Priam: We need to collaborate on a plan of attack for our next little get-together.
GM Archmage: M: And we will.
Lithaladhwen: Maybe he'll keep it in case we need to chat again.
CGNakibe: (ARRRGH.)
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Not going without my A2 next time. Period.
CGNakibe: (QUIT... LAGGING ME. >.<)
GM Archmage: B: ...I know his next target.
CGNakibe: (*punches AIM*)
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
Lithaladhwen: Whoa. Useful.
CGNakibe: Agreed.
GM Archmage: B: In 24 hours, when the satellite's refractory period is up, and it can fire at full blast...
CGNakibe: What do you have in mind?
Besyanteo: (Benten: Barnum and Bailey's circus. He hates clowns.)
GM Archmage: B: ...he's going to incinerate the Doman Parliament building.
OMG Priam: If we let him have a target, we've already lost.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: ...yeah, that's totally necessary. e_e
Besyanteo: ... Bad movies come to life.
Lithaladhwen: Good to know, though!
PapatymisonN: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Shades of Freedom Week, no?
Lithaladhwen: (It's V "Baby Why Do You Make Me Hit You" For Vendetta!)
Besyanteo: Very much.
PapatymisonN: We'd better find that damn control station...
Besyanteo: (That too!)
Besyanteo: (must stop laughing... XD)
Lithaladhwen: (A friend of mine called it that for the "thanks for torturing me" scene.)
CGNakibe: (Heheheeh)
Besyanteo: (>XD)
GM Archmage: M: In case it wasn't clear, the control station is not in the Wells Memorial Hospital.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Yeah.
Lithaladhwen: *snort*
Besyanteo: (Oh lord I'm glad I can force a laugh to be silent)
T3chn0Namagomi: We kind of figured that out.
GM Archmage: B: No, it isn't.
CGNakibe: Didn't catch that. *smirks*
GM Archmage: B: It's in Old Enchufa.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: Talk about convenient.
CGNakibe: So what do we have to.... Well now.
OMG Priam: Now that is useful.
Lithaladhwen: Enchufa. Wait, is there a New Enchufa?
GM Archmage: B: Of course there is. *looks at Hel quizzically*
Besyanteo: (So many names I should know and don't.)
PapatymisonN: ... huh.
Lithaladhwen: Look, I don't know these things. You'll get used to it very quickly.
PapatymisonN: No one's hurt. Let's leave in a few hours.
Besyanteo: She's old, aparently.
GM Archmage: M: *smirks*
GM Archmage: B: I see.
OMG Priam: We need to collaborate with base.
OMG Priam: Serran.
GM Archmage: M: I never thought I'd say this, Oxblood, but I agree.
Lithaladhwen: And now everyone knows my dirty little secret. I'm really really old and senile. Oh, man.
T3chn0Namagomi: We might want to at least get Makura and Benten their Armors back.
T3chn0Namagomi: Well, A2s.
CGNakibe: *nods* Lets do that then.
CGNakibe: I'm tired of bullshitting around now.
GM Archmage: M: Armor up and head for Old Enchufa. Sounds like a decent plan.
PapatymisonN: Lots of crazy shit happened while you were gone, Makura.
CGNakibe: I want a plan, a backup plan, and a "Blow shit up" plan.
GM Archmage: M: I believe you.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wait a minute, am I going into space now?
OMG Priam: We need to devise a strategy. You've got a pretty good strategic mind, serran, let's see what we can cook up on the spot.
Besyanteo: IM: ... I REALLY should ask him, before we get another chance to die horribly.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...I made Ace. ^^
GM Archmage: M: You're full of chocobo feces.
T3chn0Namagomi: Five kills.
Lithaladhwen: *snort*
Besyanteo: He is, but he did.
OMG Priam: We know he can sync with Techa, and that he's a capable mage and scientist.
CGNakibe: We need to at the very least get ourselves a layout of the place we need to hit, though. And we need it in the next couple of hours.
CGNakibe: This is true.
Besyanteo: Saved our asses doing it.
GM Archmage: B: I can pilot a damned go-kart better than half of MAC Igala A. Give me an armor and I can back you up, regardless of model or make.
CGNakibe: Most likely he would have a mecha that combined said aspects into something highly effective.
OMG Priam: Furthermore, it's been demonstrated that he, in a magesuit, can take control of any mech he wants.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Is that the Marine term? As far as I know, they've all been known as A2s, not "techa". <_<;
PapatymisonN: ... I'll get you a Jarga. ^_^
Besyanteo: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Ew.
T3chn0Namagomi: No.
OMG Priam: So bringing mecha to bear might not be the greatest idea.
CGNakibe: ... You've seen this yourself, I take it?
Besyanteo: HE can what?
OMG Priam: More than seen, I'm afraid.
Lithaladhwen: Oh, yeah. It sucked.
CGNakibe: Damn. That complicates matters.
OMG Priam: Yes.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...At what ranges?
GM Archmage: M: I told you Izue was both a mage and a tek. He has the power to control machines.
Lithaladhwen: He grabbed her. Mages like to be close.
OMG Priam: I don't know if he's capable of it at range, though.
Lithaladhwen: I wasn't quick enough to stop him that time.
T3chn0Namagomi: Up close and at range are two completely different things.
GM Archmage: M: We can deal with Izue later. Right now we have to take away his toys.
CGNakibe: Zeiren?
OMG Priam: My first thought is we need a significant number of mages to be able to contend.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Also, don't follow his advice. Jargas disintegrate in a strong breeze.
CGNakibe: He could control his mecha while zipping about in his magesuit.
OMG Priam: If we can keep mechs at long range, that's not a bad placement either.
CGNakibe: Theoretically.
OMG Priam: Right.
Lithaladhwen: More mages might be nice. I mean, I can do some things, but I don't blow things up, and you pretty much need that if you're fighting armors.
Lithaladhwen: I can't count on banishing or manifesting every single one we meet.
T3chn0Namagomi: >_> You fuck with the symbiotes.
Lithaladhwen: Well, sure. But it's not a sure thing.
CGNakibe: ... Hm.
T3chn0Namagomi: Just go after Izue's.
CGNakibe: He won't have one.
OMG Priam: C@HQ: HQ, requesting communications with CO Herzog.
GM Archmage: M: Despite his tendency to accidentally raze MAC property, it's almost too bad Siyun Badua didn't get transferred to Delta unit.
CGNakibe: Or if he does, it'll be troublesome to dispose of.
Lithaladhwen: Izue's.... Izue, if he has one... it'll be hard to get rid of. He knows his shit, and the stronger a symbiote is, the harder it'll be to get rid of.
T3chn0Namagomi: But the harder it is to control.
GM Archmage: HQ: CO Herzog is currently preoccupied. Unless it's urgent, your message will be relayed with the next 12 hours.
CGNakibe: See? From our resident expert.
Lithaladhwen: True.
OMG Priam: HQ: Requesting Giles, then.
Besyanteo: HArd to control hardly matters if it shares his interests.
PapatymisonN: ... that's scary as hell
Lithaladhwen: I'll give it a go, but you saw me against Kagero's armor. I can give it one try, and that's it. I'll be lucky if I don't seriously hurt myself in the process.
CGNakibe: That's sort of the point.
GM Archmage: (You're asking for the same dude. Do you refer to CO Heinreich?)
CGNakibe: He wants to give us a show of his power.
OMG Priam: (Er, yeah.)
PapatymisonN: Especially remembering what Zeiren's rig did when it got up from the bottom of the sea...
T3chn0Namagomi: Banishing...but manifesting, on the other hand...
GM Archmage: HQ: Understood.
CGNakibe: There's a good question.
CGNakibe: Helena, what could be done if you MANIFESTED it?
OMG Priam: (I never knew that was his full name o_o)
T3chn0Namagomi: You did so with the underwater A2s, right?
GM Archmage: Heinreich, on comm: Connection stabilized. Speak, Delta unit.
Lithaladhwen: Were those the same? Or were they ghost armors?
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm, you have a potential point.
GM Archmage: M: If it has a pilot, he can attempt to drive it without the symbiote.
GM Archmage: M: I have a suggestion.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...It handles like shit without it, though.
Lithaladhwen: I learned that with Kagero's. I banished it, but it still breathed at me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
GM Archmage: M: Have Igala A meet us at New Enchufa with our armors. The hovercopter can take us straight there.
Lithaladhwen: IM: I'm going to test a normal tek armor with the manifesting spell first chance I get.
CGNakibe: I ask, Helena, for one reason.
Lithaladhwen: IM: See if I'm limited to manifesting ghost armors, or if I can do it to them all.
OMG Priam: C@H: This is Private Duvall. We're returning to base. No casualties or injuries, and we have two more with us. Makura and Benten <lastname>. They have some valuable intel for a followup mission.
CGNakibe: Regardless of HOW we get rid of the symbiote, the key would be to get rid of it, right?
CGNakibe: Well, one of the keys.
Lithaladhwen: Sure. Manifesting worked with the ghost armors.
Lithaladhwen: It solidifies it, crams it into a tiny space and makes it unable to work the machine.
Besyanteo: It's make taking it down much easier, yes.
GM Archmage: Heinreich, C: Understood. Makura Kuragari has been safely recovered, as well as Benten Kuragari.
Besyanteo: *seems distracted!*
OMG Priam: C@H: The important thing here is...well. What are the chances of requisitioning the services of a number of mages in the service of the mission?
CGNakibe: The important poitn here is this.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm not sure if he can do a cyberplane dive from outside his Armor.
CGNakibe: I want there to be a watch on whatever place we end up taking on Izue.
CGNakibe: And a backup squad or two if possible.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I'm so confused. ._.
CGNakibe: I do NOT want this guy escaping again.
OMG Priam: *points to Serran, and then to the comm headset. Mouths "listen."*
GM Archmage: H, C: I can attempt to recruit several. MAC Igala A is especially full of them. And I can contact Gunnir MAC Detachment Alpha.
T3chn0Namagomi: If he can't, then he has to be in it to synchronize with the symbiote. And if the symbiote can be materialized...then it could prove to be a distraction.
Besyanteo: IM: ... Oh hell, Gunnir.
Besyanteo: IM: Don't we have enough oddballs?
CGNakibe: *listens* IM: Huh.
GM Archmage: H, C: They're neutral in this conflict, but I imagine they have good reason to want to shut down Izue and his satellite.
PapatymisonN: (Is the basement still kooky?)
Lithaladhwen: Gunnir. Gunnir. Another familiar one.
Besyanteo: >_>
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh! Gunnir!
Besyanteo: It's... ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: I was there, once!
TheWaiChibiAngel: They looked at me and were like "What the heck is going on!?"
Besyanteo: ... It's memorable. If the rumros are true.
OMG Priam: C@H: All right. I won't transfer the specifics of the informaiton gathered over these channels without permission, but that element is relevant to planning the next step.
Besyanteo: (rumors*!_
Besyanteo: )*
TheWaiChibiAngel: And then something blew up.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Or someone!
Lithaladhwen: Gunnir is memorable. It says something that the name rings a bell at all.
Lithaladhwen: I've been there with... with someone. Someone I knew? Or worked with. I don't know.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: But I went there at least once.
Besyanteo: And by memorable, I mean that they'd make us look normal.
TheWaiChibiAngel: We're pretty normal, aren't we? o_o
Besyanteo: ... Compared to what?
Lithaladhwen: They have surprisingly few deaths, considering the hazards there. Some good clerics work there, I think.
CGNakibe: We're kinda out there, Tareen.
CGNakibe: *shrugs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Compared to those student mages in Gunnir, we're normal.
OMG Priam: *to Serran* Anything else we should ask aobut while we have his attention?
Lithaladhwen: I'm not.
Lithaladhwen: Tareen isn't.
Lithaladhwen: You guys may be.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Compared to the Marines, everyone except a specific someone is indeed very not normal.
Besyanteo: IM: Debateable.
CGNakibe: Nothing else comes to mind that you haven't covered already, I don't think.
TheWaiChibiAngel: We're not? *To Helena*
OMG Priam: All right.
CGNakibe: *chuckles* If you say so Helena.
Lithaladhwen: *to Tareen* No. But that's not a bad thing. It's just... a relevant thing.
OMG Priam: C@HQ: That's all I wanted to know for now. We'll get more in depth at the base. Thank you, sir.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Woo, we're not normal!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Thrusts arms in the air*
Lithaladhwen: *grins*
Besyanteo: (Folks about ready to wrap up?)
PapatymisonN: Good for us.
PapatymisonN: (Yeah.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ROCKET SLIME! >_<
Besyanteo: ...
Besyanteo: IM: It's accurate.
PapatymisonN: (But dear god, I'll soldier on if I must.)
Besyanteo: (I like to sleep by 4, but I'll go longer if folks want.)
OMG Priam: (I'm good to be done.)
GM Archmage: H, C: Affirmative.
GM Archmage: (I am also.)
OMG Priam: *talks tactics with Serran at intervals during the trip back!*
Lithaladhwen: Anyway. At some point I think I need to have a talk with some people. At this point it won't really change anything, but I'm tired of witholding information.
KnightsofSquare has left the room.
GM Archmage: (RP over? Trust me. There is more to do...next session.)
PapatymisonN: (Yeah.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Points and Awards?)
Besyanteo: (Indeedy.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..I am still going into space, right? RIGHT?!
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Good to go now.)
Lithaladhwen: I see no reason why not, Tareen.
PapatymisonN: (... good.)
Lithaladhwen: Do what you've gotta do.
GM Archmage: M: ...what?
GM Archmage: </RP>
T3chn0Namagomi: </RP>
Lithaladhwen: </RP!>
Lithaladhwen: Font!
GM Archmage: We'll pick up next wee, because MY GOD it is 4 AM
GM Archmage: *week
Besyanteo: It is.
GM Archmage: In other news, everyone gets 3 CP.
Lithaladhwen: Yay!
Besyanteo: Yay!
OMG Priam: =D
Besyanteo: I have 5 now. o.o
T3chn0Namagomi: HAY LOOK MORE WILL.
Besyanteo: I should do something with them! .... later, when I have Guru.
GM Archmage: There will probably be one or two more sessions at most.
GM Archmage: Just FYI.
GM Archmage: This would have taken a good deal less time if Reako had not needed a ride home.
Lithaladhwen: I need to up her "solidify" spell to 18. This is my plan.
GM Archmage: But we do what we have to.
OMG Priam: Indeed.
Lithaladhwen: Aye. And we did get this done tonight, which is the most important thing.
PapatymisonN: ... night guys.
GM Archmage: I'll post something to the thread later.
Lithaladhwen: G'night!
OMG Priam: Lates.
GM Archmage: For now, I am going to attempt to get some sleep or something.
PapatymisonN has left the room.
GM Archmage: Thanks to everyone for participating!
Lithaladhwen: Thanks for getting smashed and GMing!
T3chn0Namagomi: Zeiren still despises the marines!
OMG Priam: Holy shit, I couldn't tell =O
TheWaiChibiAngel: *ROCKET SLIME.*
OMG Priam: ROCK&SLIME
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Don't make me come out there, boy.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *You know it's gonna be some shit if I'm out of my room for longer than two minutes.*
OMG Priam: Ohhhhh snap

Besyanteo has left the room.
T3chn0Namagomi has left the room.
