<OOC> Govic says,
"Alright, lets get started. FIRST, the
rules"
<OOC> Govic | Alright,
here's the rules of the game: 1) The character Isamu will be spoofing, Max, is
the main focus of this scene. Scene stealing by other characters will NOT be
allowed (barring something I prompt). If we need to, we will do something cheap
like 'rock falls, scenestealing guy dies'. You can of
course give suggestions and the like, just don't try
to steal the show. 2) This scene will NOT count to MCM RP as a whole, keep to
your characters of course, but this didn't happen. Also keep it off the
channels. 3) Combat, if any, will be strictly and fully RPed.
4) Bribes can be sent to-er I mean please mind all
normal rules of RP ettiquete. No twinking,
no power posing (I will handle all results for the other side of things). 5)
Please keep +ooc to a minimum after the scene starts.
If you need clarifications to a scene pose, page me (Govic).
If necessary, I will state via +ooc the answer or
page back if I don't feel that's needed. 6) Do NOT +gohome
or +nexus on your own at any point without express permission to leave. We'll
tell you invidually when you're done. 7) As this is
NOT towards MCM IC as a whole, use Z-Audition-IC as you would use Union-IC as a
channel. This is for coordination. 8) There will be a pose order,
I'll have it designed once we have everyone.

Union Research Outpost ZX452521-Beta. A lovely facility,
hidden out in the artic. A white-silver smallish dome-shaped structure,
that in actuality extends rather far underground for a variety of science work,
largely in the fields of cybernetics, artificial AI, and robotics.
No one could've ever seen this going awry, really.
The place looks calm and ordinary from the outside. Aside from the fact the
usual token heated powersuit clad outside guard's
missing, no doubt called for the crisis occuring
somewhere within...
The facility has two entrances. One in the front for on
foot. And from the top, there's a foldback bay
door for mechs to enter. Any Union Elites should have
the necessary access codes to make use of that.
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "That
certainly don't sound good at all."
<OOC> Govic says, "Alright Max, take it
away. Remember guys, stick to the pose order."
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says, "This
sounds like a job for Superman! ... But since that no-good bum is off somewhere
else, I'll come."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson |A Female voice
"Captain, emergancy distress beacon from
ZX45251-Beta." Max "I heard, don't take your eyes off that
monitor!" "Y-yes sir!" "Prepare my
valryrie with fold booster. All Elites on route, your
main priority is to rescue the workers in that facility, and reconoiter the enemy, engage as required to protect."
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "On me
way!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Roger."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Yeah yeah...Don't
have to tell me twuice."

says, "On my way. *SHOOM*"
Of course such a crisis can't go unnoticed, and it just so happens
that the
Light bends and warps into a blue hue at a single point in the air,
and condenses untill it 'pops' revealing the blue
colored VF-22 Stumvogel II fighter. The fols booster attached to it's back
jetisons as the fighter cuts it's engines and glides.
Inside Max looks over the area and the on file maps and schematics "Hmm,
two entrances. Guard is missing."
Out comes Jehuty from the nearest warp gate,
in flight mode. The engines that the player can not spell propel it at very YES
speeds towards the Union outpost. As Dingo sits back in the
cockpit, bringing up information on the base.
"
-Roger. Switching sub weapon over to geyser, to prevent needless
damage to the facility-
"Good thinking. Ready to decent.."
and with that, Jehuty would fly towards the bay,
switching out from flight to normal operation.
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Hmm...attacks
from the inside...an infiltrator, I wana say, but...hmm...no
one person could do that much damage. Any ideas on
possibilities?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Something
got loose that shouldna?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Possibly, but I'm
unaware fo any captive life
forms at this facility."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Aren't the Zerg
known for this sorta thing?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Yes."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Indeed, pray it's not them."
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Aye. Even
wee li'l buggers can be big problems in mass
numbers."

<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret |ADA transmits, -This facility was used for
technological experimentation. It is more logical to assume the problem
is mechanical.-
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "We haven't concluded
this is an escaped experiment. Don't assume anything untill
we have evidence one way or the other."
Light twists and bends a few meters off from the ground entrance to the
facility. For a moment, the snow on the arctic ground hisses and steams as a the magical distortion melts away at it. A moment later,
that all stops, and a blue haird figure can be seen
standing where the portal dissapeared, holding a
duster tightly around it and a fedora down on it's
head. The figure lifts a lapel of it's duster and
speaks into it.
"For the sake of The Lady! No one mentioned it was gonna be in the bloody arctic!" Merin
shouts into her comm.
<Z-Audition-IC> Merin says, "For the
sake of The Lady! No one mentioned it was gonna be in
the bloody arctic!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Oops? Bring warm
clothing?"
Despite being a great deal of white and grey in color, Metroplex
still sticks out horribly even in the midst of an arctic wasteland. Then again,
an excavation machine of that size churning across the landscape tends to stick
out pretty much anywhere. Just be glad he isn't as slow as they normally are.
Of course, the gateway technology helps with that too, its
just like having a planetside-wide

"Shush ya wee wippersnapper."

and your fancy arse machines! Some of us don't rely
on tech to save our rears."
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Hey now,
some of us -are- the fancy arse machines."
<Z-Audition-IC> Fusion Phoenix, not Angela Altena
says, "Kind of hard for us NOT to rely on technology."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "I don't fully rely on it either Merin.
It's just handy."
Crys Gattz heard there was
an attack she was able to get to a near by gate. She hada
contact with the union via team seven since the flames had broken up a bit. So
here she comes out of the yes in a tank top and hot pants. She doesn't seem
bothered bt the weather as
she exits the gate and now she's going to be heading for the base asapwiththe others.
<OOC> Metroplex throws his pose in there.
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says, "Well
if you don't have any special skills, what good are you?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Then I'm sure you have
magic that will do just fine. In any case, Myself Dingo and Metroplex
will take the elevator from the top, Merin, crys Xander and Fusion. I trust
you all can enter the front entrance on foot."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Rodger."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Roger that, sir. Hope this isn't like the mines on Ragol."
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex had more witty
commentary, but doesn't get around to saying it. "... Slag it all. I canna scan any more than a few lifesigns on the upper levels. Looks like the
outpost's sensor blocks for the high security levels is
one of the things that -is- still workin'..."
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Copy
that. I'll be up thare with ya
lads in a jiff."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Of course."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Wouldn't it be too easy to know
what we should expect?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex chuckles a bit. "Can't blame a guy for tryin'."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Yeah, the Multiverse
hates us."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "So we rise to the challange. Metroplex, do you have
minicon teams with you?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Indeed we
do, sir." Firebolt, despite being a small robot,
manages to sound off with a rather boomy voice for
his size. "Emergency Rescue Team, reporting, sir!" "Sounds like
this thing may be right up you guys' alley."
<OOC> Govic says, "You're up Xander."
<OOC> Xander Phoenix is typing.
Going in through the front door? Easy enough. Xander Phoenix specializes in that kind of thing. The
Firebird, which had been flying in, lands in front of the entrance to the
facility, and he looks at the door, hmming a bit to
himself, "Now all I have to do is wait for the go command.." He says, grinning to himself under his armor.
Agent Jones has partially disconnected.
A streak of red and blue flashes low over the ice.
The reploid of fire and ice is comming
to do his part in the investigation. He touches down a good quarter-mile from
the door, skidding to a halt. Fusion
And as everyone comes in...
Nothing in particular happens. The door's are
unlocked and easily entered, opening into the lobby where the elevators and
stairs are. Unless you reaaaaally want to visit the
break room where no one is. On the next floor down, there's six lifesigns, clustered near each other on the far side of the
room. Past that, sensors fail. But, past that every floor
(and sometimes sections of a single floor) are locked out from sensors
for security's sake.
...Though if anyone tries to call a elevator, it
doesn't seem to be coming. Looks like you get to use stairs. ...Or the rails,
if you want to risk thy crotch.
For the mechs or similar sized people, the dome
parts once it recieves its code, revealing a loooooong cylindrical spiral. The elevator platform's at
the top, but smashed straight through so it looks like you'll have to either
fly down along the shaft or use the spiraling gentle slope to descend manually.
Either way, there's sufficient sized doors for every
floor.
The blue VF-22 swoops down to the top of the dome and transforms into
GERWALK mode to land near the mecha/frieght elevator.
"This is bothersome." <<Dingo and I will proceed to the next
floor down, Metroplex, you might be better off
sending the minicons, but I leave it up to your discression.>> the VTOL craft then lowers down into
the spiral, heading for the first of many upper floors, looking for lifewsigns despite the jamming.
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Front entrance team,
head in. Dingo and I will proceed down the shaft to the next floor, Metroplex, you might be better off sending the minicons but I leave it up to you.... and if anyone sees a
way to shut off the security jamming, do it."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Roger that."
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Sounds
like whoever or whatever it is has been thorough"
Dingo follows the VF-22, looking through his scanners.
"This is going to be lots of fun...remind
me to bring a picnic lunch next time." the snarky
pilot let off. "Roger, I'll cover the rear."
Meanwhile, along with the others on foot, Merin
heads in thru the open front door. "I already don't like this." She
mutters idly and releases her grip on her fedora once she's inside. She pauses
to listen to the orders coming thru the comm, "Yes'sir." The fae casts a
slow glance around, already alert and ready for whatever's coming.
<Z-Audition-IC> Fusion Phoenix, not Angela Altena
says, "Copy that."

up in the pose order before she gets back, feel free to assume she's sticking

to the scene."
Crys is with the rest of the entrace
team as they are going on in through the oors. She
wonders what's in here. She follows after Merin
drawing a pair of Photon blades from her belt but doesn't turn them on yet.
Metroplex pulls up at the outpost, frowning as he
shifts up into robot mode. He could jump up there easy enough, but the way down
wouldn't be very great with no elevator in service. "Guess you lads gotta go on your own for a bit. I ain't
going to do much good without a lift." Instead he holds up an arm towards
the mecha entrance, letting off the trio of minicons. Makeshift has a VTOL craft for an alt mode, so Firebolt and Checkpoint just have to hang onto him as he
lowers down to accompany Max and Dingo's mechas down
the shaft. "Metroplex is gonna
stay out here for now, less we really need him to break a wall or something to
get in and help."
<OOC> Govic says, "There's a sloping
walkway down for mechs too Metty"

<OOC> Govic says, "...Xander?"
<OOC> Xander Phoenix faceplants. Sorry. x.x
<OOC> Govic says, "We'll never forgive you
until you do the sexy dance."
With the order to move in given, Xander quickly makes
his way through the front door. Both of his Mk. 23s drawn as he heads inside,
he takes a quick look around to make sure that there's no
hostiles inside of the lobby, before he heads for the elevators.
<OOC> Xander Phoenix sighs, "Fine. Get the
pole.."
<OOC> Govic says, "Metroplex,
extend thy pole!"
<OOC> Govic says, "...On second thought
that sounded even worse then I meant it to."

Fusion
As previously stated, the elevators can't be called but you can take the shafts
down to other floors. Or y'know, be
But, once people start arriving on B1, they find a series of tables, desks,
water coolers, and filing cabinets toppled on the far end of the main hall,
where some of the soldiers have setup a checkpoint.
Lots of clicking can be heard. But they pause before firing to give a chance
for identification.
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "We better take the stairs."
<OOC> Isamu Dyson says, "and the mechers?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says, "Or I
could fly down there."
<OOC> Govic says, "You'll exit on the
other side of the hall. Its a biiiig

going past B1 to try to descend further."
<Z-Audition-IC> Fusion Phoenix, not Angela Altena
over lots of climbing noises. "I'm climbing down one of the elevator
shafts. Not enough space for me to fly."
With a little forcing after inputing the
codes, the VF-22 manages to get in through the mecha
scale door to B1. The GERWALK mode craft strides out into the hallway and turns
to face the soldiers gathered behind the hastily made barricades, making sure
to move over plenty so the Jehuty can get in before
activating the mech's loudspeaker. "This Maxamilian Jenuis, Captain of the

Crys Gattz is keeping up
with the group this eveninng as Xander
heads for the lifts she calls out "They are likely down we're taking the
stairs, I'll take point and you cover me." Hopefully she'll be listened to
as she's now heading for the stairs. To any of the others she adds "Come
on time's a wasting."
The minicons set down on the floor, Makeshift
converting back to robot mode as well once Firebolt
and Checkpoint aren't hanging onto him. Being use to working around machines
several times their size, they have little trouble following without getting
under Jehuty and Max's feet, so to speak. In the
meantime, Firebolt turns his head as they go to look
at his teammates. "Getting anything, CP?" Checkpoint shakes his head,
the sensor arrays on its sides dimming. "Negative. Even at close range I
can't scan past the screen networks." "Guess we're doing search and
rescue the old fashioned way," Makeshift pipes in.
Xander Phoenix just follows Crys,
since it's easier than arguing with the non-functional elevators, "Lead
on, then.."
The large Phoenix Reploid is lowering
himself by means of the elevator cable, and once he gets down to the first
basement, he kicks the elevator doors out. Once he hears the demand to know his
name, he responds, "Fusion Phoenix,
A woman stands from behind the barricade, looking rather relieved, and exahusted.
"Good sir, thankyou for coming... We believe
the target, whatever it is, is on B5 currently. We've lost contact with our

were further below as well as the guards are all unaccounted for and cannot be
reached. Internal computer controls are locked out too,
we can't cancel the anti-sensor fields or access internal sensors."

Max hns inside the 22's cockpit. "I see, we should have you out in short order. Do you have
locations of other survivors so we can reach them quickly?" Max then
asides to the minicons "Checkpoint, Makeshift, Firebolt, get these people out of here. We'll need you to
help search the floors as we descend to B4. Fusion, take point if you want but stick close."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Contact with the first
survivor group on B-1, the minicons and anyone else
willing will lead them out. Presume the enemy is technologicaly
capable and has controll of the local computers, they
appear to be located on B5, we will move down that way, retriving
survivors as we can."
<Z-Audition-IC> Fusion Phoenix, not Angela Altena
says, "Bonzai!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "Alright.
Be careful down there. I'll warm up a secondary bay to keep the survivors cozy
once you get them up here, Firebolt." "Copy
that, big guy."
Dingo sighed in relief...good, something good happened.
"I'll cover your six Max...shall we go?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Xander? You here that?"

<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says,
"Armed and ready."
<OOC> Govic says, "Guys this is taking

Merin slinks along behind Crys, for now just quietly sticking in formation with the
other two.
<OOC> Govic says, "New rule."
<OOC> Govic says, "You have 8 minutes to pose
from the last, if not, I'm calling the next up."
<OOC> Govic says, "Repeat offenders WILL
get squished ICly without consent to push things

Crys Gattz leads the team
down to level b4, nothing happens on the way either. Unless Govic
says other wise once she's got them down to level four she says "We're one
level up from the likely hot zone get ready."
<OOC> Govic says, "Yes, you'll get through
to b4 without event. But stuff will happen on B4."
<OOC> Xander Phoenix says, "Okay."
All three minicons salute the 22 and its pilot.
"Yes sir!" Then set about tending to the survivors present to get
them back outside. Even if Firebolt isn't full sized
for a firetruck, their vehicle modes should be able
to gather up the soldiers between the three of them. And on the bright side,
they're still small enough they can just drive up the stairs to get back above
ground. Where once outside, Metroplex
has already shifting back into vehicle mode and gone into primarily serving as
a mobile base for this mission. Darned well big enough
for it.
Xander finishes speaking on his radio, as he arrives
on B-4 behind Crys. Both handguns drawn, he hums
softly to himself, "Let's see." He says, "I wonder who we're gonna run into down here.."
Fusion
When the group reaches B4, they find the way to continue to B5 is sealed no
matter what route they try by forcefields... But there's people here anyway.
This time, the scientists and guards have locked themselves into a large
lab, where some sort of machinery is humming, likely the forcefield
generators.
But as our heroes (read: you saps) close in on that lab to get to them to
save them and shut that off... The floor begins to shudder.
The frontrunners of the group who were almost to the lab and can see into
its viewing windows can see the floor ripping apart beneath the scientists and
guards, large metal dragon-like heads with red eyes rising up to snap into
flesh and machinery... While those not immediately snagged run, screaming,
aside from the couple of poor bastards that fall through the crumbling floor...
Looks like you found your target.
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Well...shit."
<OOC> Angela Altena says, "So the forcefield is down, yes?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Metroplex says, "I'm gonna guess ye found what's causin'
this ruckus down there by that..."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "A dragon...why is it ALWAYS A
DRAGON!"
<OOC> Merin says, "Wait. So who's near the
dragon now? x.x;"
<OOC> Govic says, "No, but there's now a
new handy yet at least mildly dangerous route down where there shouldn't be
one."
<OOC> Govic says, "There's doors to get into the lab where the 'dragon' is brekaing through the ground."
<OOC> Govic says, "Unlocked."
<OOC> Crys Gattz
nods.
<OOC> Angela Altena says, "Ah hah. Kaykay"
Max transforms the VF-22 into battloid mode
to better manuver around the made-for-mechs areas instead of using the highspeed/VTOL
GERWALK mode. It carries the GU-17L in it's right hand
at the ready.
Max watches as Fusion Pheonix runs off
aiming to likely get himself killed "Thank you, Dingo. It looks like he'll
be harder to keep under controll then I thought.
Let's go."
With that, the mech walks back to the
elevator shaft and descends to B4. Just in time to see the floor break and the dragonic heads berak up from
underneath. Max's mouth draws tight as he flares the engines in the back of the
mecha, attempting to get through the doors and
between the remaining scientists and the mechanical looking dragon. "Head
for the surface!" he says over the loud speaker as he engages the 22's
pinpoint barrier to defened himself and the
scientists.
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "yes there is...."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "I HATE DRAGONS LIKE THAT ONE!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Merin says, "I don't mind
dragons. But not *that* kind!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Merin says, "I'll get the
scientists out."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Thank you, Merin."
Agent Jones has reconnected.
Dingo flies ahead of Max this time, right for the heads of the
mechanical dragon...right as it aims to eat some more people. Dingo grabs it
with one hand, and aiming his switchblade arm to strike at the neck. "HEY!
Pick on someone half your size" he yells.
"I'll hold it off, get these people out
of here!"
The fae sighs and calls into her comm, "I'll get the scientists out." Before bursting thru the open door and into the room. "Allright, eggheads! Everybody out!" She turns to face a relatively emptyish wall, and mutters a quick incantation. The space
intersecting the wall seems to bend and twist for a moment, before it becomes
transparent, to reveal a union evacuation point. "Thru
the portal! Now!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Keep those heads away
from teh forcefield
equipment, and check your own fire. If the forcefield
go down the creatures will have instant access through the whole base."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "That's why I am in melee
range. I have a stunning weapon on hand in case we are needed."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "I think the situation
calls for that."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Drawlin'
it's attention first...once all it's heads are
attacking me I'll use it."
Agent Jones has partially disconnected.
<OOC> Govic says, "Crys,
2 minute warning."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "SO how do you want this dragon it's trying to eat the staff? Dead or live?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "You're only concern at
the moment should be to keep it away fromth e forcefield equipment."
<OOC> Li says, "Time's up. Metroplex,
go."
Crys Gattz loos how things are sealed, he sees how people are hold up.
She looks in, and she blinks as the dragon's trying to get in. Oh man, this
wasn't pretty. "Right." She arms her photon
blades as Merin gets into. She's going to start
smacking the beast with the flat of the blades to keep its attention on her and
away from the force feilds
<OOC> Li says, "Crys, get your pose out
within 8 minutes next time."
"Be careful down there, I don't wanna have to
come down to rescue the rescue party!" For the most part though, Metroplex is occupied with getting the surviving crew
comfortable and taken care of. Fortunately Makeshift has been studying humanoid
physiologies and medical needs as the group EMT.
<OOC> Crys Gattz
nods.
A dragon? Great, "What the hell.."
Xander
just kind of stares for the time being. That's not what he expected to
encounter when he came down here. He keys on his radio before he makes a move.
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says, "So
what do you guys want me to do to this thing?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Try to get the heads
focusing towards Jehuty and away from any forcefield equipment. That our life line, if it goes this
whole base is done for."
<OOC> Li says, "Ang? You're rapidly
running out of time?"
There are wise ways of fighting such a monster. Fusion Phoenix just
charges in, shouting a battle cry and laying down as much plasma fire as he
can, mostly aimed in the direction of the dragon. Mostly.
Some of it is likely to hit equipment, or scientists, or the others fighting
the dragon.
<OOC> Angela Altena missed xander's pose. x.x
Somewhere, Trevor has connected.
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "GAH! What are you doing you
idiot!? STOP THE FRIENDLY FIRE!"
Huh? (Type "help" for help.)
Li rolled 1d100 <100> = 100
<OOC> Li says, "...Wow."
<OOC> Dingo Egret says, "...Oo"
<OOC> Dingo Egret says, "That's the second time I seen that in a
row."
<OOC> Angela Altena uh-ohs.
<OOC> Isamu Dyson says, "Oooh, we in
trouble now."
<Z-Audition-IC> Fusion Phoenix, not Angela Altena
says, "Damnit! Just pour on all the fire you
can! We need to take this thing down hard and fast!"
Dingo slices straight through a neck, sending the severed dragon-head crashing
through the hole to below, as the neck slumps over against the ground.
Abruptly through another hole, a middle-aged blonde woman in a white labcoat raises up? Yes, she's held up by a series of metal
cables which extend down below, her eyes all but glowing as she looks about.
"Elites!? So even the
And with that, if anyone looks at the neck Dingo decapitated? It begins to
split down the middle as it glows white as TWO dragon-like heads spawn where
the original was, each with their own neck.
The woman then smiles coldly, "But no worries! While you're here, you
can help fuel my creation and bring our goals ever closer. Your life forces are
bound to be worth more then these crackpot fools who call themselves scientists
and the pathetic guards assigned to this place! Give yourselves to the
future!"
With that, more heads begin to break through the floor, putting nine
(counting the extra one Dingo gave it) into the room... Two going for Max's
VF... two for Dingo's Jehuty (the same two that
formed from the one he decapitated)... one for Merin...
One for Crys... One for Xander...
And one for Fusion... They all go in to try to *CHOMP*
their target too! The remaining head just sticks near the cabled laughing
woman.
Fortunately though, in this distraction, Merin's
portal gets the survivors out of the line of fire.
...Less fortunately, not only is Fusion Phoenix's gunfire coming in for you
guys? It slams into the forcefield generator, which
immediately *EXPLODES* rather violently. Duck!
There's a faint staticy noise in the distance as
the forcefields go down...
<OOC> Govic adjusts his halo, trying to hide
the horns. And does the same for the dice.
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "...I am going
to shoot you when this is over."
<OOC> Angela Altena tee-hees, looking semi-innocent.
The fae frowns a bit and adjusts her fedora breifly, moving some of the shadow away from her glowing
eyes. "C'mon, C'mon! Move it! It's not exactly
easy to do this y'know!" She calls out as she
wipes a bit of sweat from her forehead.
And then all hell breaks loose. The woman rises up thru the floor,
along with more dragonheads. The regeneration of one into two draws a snarl
from Merin, "It's a fucking Hydra!"
Meanwhile, sh extends the hand she isnt using to maintain the portal spell and throws up a barrier
between her and the oncoming head. "Damnit!
Move your arses, you eggheads!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says,
"Bigger fish to fry, Dingo."
<OOC> Isamu Dyson kicks Merin.
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says,
"Anyway, I'm about to headshot this doctor. Watch and learn, kids."
<OOC> Merin acks and
falls over. x.x
<OOC> Merin says, "Retcon
that."
<OOC> Merin says, "I hit enter too early. ;.;"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Check fire! check you fire Fusion!..." Max's voice becomes faintly,
faintly strained "Fusion...You will be dealt with when this is over. Untill then you will deal with the dragon heads. Xander, atempt to remove ehr from the
system without killing her first. This is not up for debate."
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says, "God,
you people and your nonlethal."
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says, "So
boring."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Sir? Your orders?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Xander Phoenix says,
"Fine, I'll just cut her out with one of my blades."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "So long as I get my pay the employer gets whatmakes
em happy."
<Z-Audition-IC> Fusion Phoenix, not Angela Altena
growls. "Sir. Understood."
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Keep the dragon heads
occupied. It looks like the forcefield are down, so
be careful."
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Right, no problem if I hurt it a bit and don't kill it right?"
<Z-Audition-IC> Max, not Isamu Dyson says, "Thats fine, I don't perticularly
care about this device."
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "He-Gah!
I am going to aim the Geyeser at her. Xander, that should give you cover."
The VF-22 raises it's arm, the pin point barriers glow as the fire
from Fusion washes over it, but Max seems nonpulssed
other then his irritation at Fusion for being so reckless and destroying the forcefield generator.
As the dragonheads come after it, the 22 converts to gerwalk
mode performs an extreamly tight hover and flip,
right over their path as the GU-17L in it's right hand fire at the base of the
necks, amazingly ever last round fails to come anywhere near an Elite or
scientist, as if Max not only knew where they were at the time, but would be in
the next few seconds.
"And sacrifice innocent lives? That is not a method I will support,
-ever-. Come to your senses Doctor and shut this thing off!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Crys Gattz
says, "Lets unload then!"
Dingo mutters, damn crazy insane assholes...
The shield comes up, one head being deflected, while the other
charges...breaking through and Dingo nearly being thrown into the ground. Back
up, Jehuty dashed right for the heads...and suddenly
was gone. Right behind the doctor, he would appear. Jehuty
threw lights at the doctor, a field of stunning to try and prevent her from
keeping control over the dragonheads...and buying Xander
some time.
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Geyser away!"
The fae frowns a bit and adjusts her fedora breifly, moving some of the shadow away from her glowing
eyes. "C'mon, C'mon! Move it! It's not exactly
easy to do this y'know!" She calls out as she
wipes a bit of sweat from her forehead.
And then all hell breaks loose. The woman rises up thru the floor,
along with more dragonheads. The regeneration of one into two draws a snarl
from Merin, "It's a fucking Hydra!"
Meanwhile, she extends the hand she isn't using to maintain the portal spell
and throws up a barrier between her and the oncoming head. "Damnit! Move your arses,
you eggheads!" She shouts at the last few straggling scientists.
<Z-Audition-IC> Merin says, "Tell me
that's all of 'em, man!"
<Z-Audition-IC> Dingo Egret says, "Save the ones in the belly of
this thing."
<OOC> Metroplex is just going to sit and watch
at this point, as its getting close to him needing to
go to bed anyways.
Yes, Xander Phoenix once again has to save the day.
He rushes headlong into the fray, since he can't shoot the doctor in the head,
and draws both of his blades. He begins towhip them
around him in practiced, surgical strikes, to slice through all of the cables
attached to the doctor, and, he assumes, also attached to the dragon. He might
not be able to do it in one pass, so he'll need to wheel around and strike a
second time.
<OOC> Xander Phoenix says, "Yeah, I need
to get to bed soon as well."
<OOC> Govic says, "Nnng,
how long do you have Xander?"
Crys now gets the order her blades snap tp live as he goes after the hydrea
and she slashes at the thing's head and now attemps
to rip into the thing but no delibate attemps to go for lethal shots as ordered but she's going
to make this thing hurt.
<OOC> Xander Phoenix says, "Technically I
should be in bed right now. I didn't expect the audition to go on for five
hours."
<OOC> Govic says, "Neither did I..."
<OOC> Govic sighs, "well I guess the
battle itself from here's a bit meaningless. I'll end it this round. Can you
stick around that long and for a bit of post-talk Xander?
<OOC> Xander Phoenix says, "Yeah."
<OOC> Govic says, "Thanks"
<OOC> Dingo Egret notes, this is why he generally hates pose order
outside of one side than the other.
<OOC> Isamu Dyson says, "Well, in this case I think it was
needed."
Fusion
GAME: Save complete.
The woman simply laughed at Max, "What're a few thousand lives to end a eternal war!? You're a fool!"
And with that, suddenly, the Geyser hits. ...For good reason. Why? Because
the halting beams disrupt a energy field that HAD been
protecting her, juuust long enough for Xander to do play weedwhacker.
Cut free, the heads roar out, thrashing wildly, as they take the attacks
amazingly well, taking a brutal beating, but ultimately...
All the eyes darken as the machine slumps down, collapsing within its holes
again... Smoke then begins to billow out of the holes and ruined floor, as the
systems that composed the mech-hydra burn out at the
sudden loss of what was serving as its control system...
The woman's eyes just shut as she's cut free as she goes limp. Alive, but only barely. She'll need immediate medical
treatment. Looks like her body had a dependency going.
The VF-22 comes to a skidding halt on the ground. "Good, take the
woman and evacuate in case this device decides to have a critical failure. Dingo, Xander, excellent work.
Fusion... I will be talking to you later."
As the mech prepares to leave Max makes only
one last comment "Because Doctor, every life lost diminishes my own. Even yours." Fweeshoom, fly
away.
"Yeah...job's done..."
Jehuty stares at the Reploid.
"We will have words later." he says, annoyed. And turns to leave this
place...
Merin sighs and looks rather relieved as the thing
shuts down, and releases her portal as the last scientist straggles thru. She
takes a slow breath, and leans against the wall, trying to calm herself. "Cor... That was a hell of a party."
Xander Phoenix glances at Fusion, "Hey, welcome
to my world, dude." He says, before he turns and walks off with everybody
else.
Fusion
<OOC> Dingo Egret says, "Yes,."
<OOC> Govic says, "Alright guys. First a question."
Crys Gattz watches as the
battle ends her one good eye closes for a moment and her blaes
vanish.
<OOC> Crys Gattz
says, "Aye"
<OOC> Dingo Egret says, ">.> Also, isn't anyone going to get
the doctor..."
<OOC> Govic says, "Max, what would've you
done with Fusy?"
<OOC> Xander Phoenix says, "Yes, this
information is very important to me as well."
<OOC> Isamu Dyson says, "when we get back?
Talk to him first, try to find out just what he was thinking with what he did,
try and make sure I got an honest answer, try to work
out the problem. Maybe theres a solution that can
straighten him up and prevent him from behaving like that in the future. If the
solution proves difficult to find then there would probably be probation
involved, if it seems perticularly problematic then
there might be a demotion involved. I'm a little loated
to go that far but I would if I had to."
<OOC> Govic says, "Alright... Well, I
apologize for how long this took. Anything else you want to say Isamu?"
<OOC> Isamu Dyson says, "It's alright. Not that I can think of imediatly, other then even with how long it took, I had
fun, so thanks for letting me audition."
<OOC> Govic says, "Alright, you can go ahead
and head off. Thankyou for coming. The rest of the players, I need to ask you all
to wait a bit longer."
<OOC> Angela Altena nodnods.
<OOC> Isamu Dyson nods, waves out.
The audition was ended at this point.
