<Ire> Session 191: The Janus Directive
<Ire> Time Chart: August 9th, 2223
<Ire> Location: Altros
* Ire stands on the bridge with Dahok, pointing at a map of the jungle.
<Ire> My scans and your sources show the base is there.
* Kimera is now known as Silouette
* Alicia is now known as Terra`
* Dahok nods
<Ire> We need to send in our best people for this one. Data retrieval, plus if we can, we should destroy the base.
<Kio> 2Hasn't really moved from the hangar..for that fact he hasn't moved at all. He just looks ahead to the other side, seeming outof it
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *is doing the usual, firing countless rounds into the practice targets*
* Eve has joined #taw
* Eve sits on a computer console, eyeing the map.
<Ire> Also, Pope showed up last night. *he comments*
<Dahok> Good, we could use another man with experience.
<Terra`> Ace
* Ire glances at Terra
<Ire> What?
<Terra`> It's just a word meaning great
<Ire> ... Oh.
* Ire blinks his eyes a few times, then glances back at the map.
<Kio> 2Gets up from his spot chuckling slightly 14"This is boring.." 2He walks over to a punching back smirking, quickly he lashes out at it, delivering a salvo of punches, one after another.
<Ire> We're going to set off for the base in a few minutes. Everyone who wishes to go, head down the hanger.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *holsters his pistol and heads over to the target to see how his aim is using Ire's "technique"*
* Eve hops off the console and stretches.
<Dahok> So Eve...Where's your new boyfriend Nicolai?
* Eve pauses in mid-stretch to look over at Dahok.
* Dahok looks smiling
* Ire sighs and steps off the bridge, walking down to the hanger where Kit and Kio are.
* Dahok starts walking towards the exit of the bridge
<Eve> *to Terra* Thank Goodness another woman is coming along. *she says testily, then follows Dahok*
* Terra` looks around to see if Sil is even around
<Kio> 2Concentrates on dealing blows to the bag, not seemingly to notice anyone around him. His pupils have gotten extremely large, swirls of blue and green taking form within.
* Ire walks over to the hanger doors, tapping a button and opening them. He glances down at the treetops.
* Silouette is 'napping' in the back of the shuttle right now.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *walks over to Ire* "Hey boss, whatcha doin?"
* Ire glances at Kit
<Ire> ...Hello, Xeronia. *He pauses* We're about to inflitrate a Janus base.
* Dahok enters the hanger and maeks his way towards the hanger door
* Eve steps into the hanger, glancing out the open doors.
<Eve> Let me take a wild guess - we're jumping?
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Are there going to be lots of guards?"
<Ire> More than likely.
<Dahok> Just a few.
* Ire pauses, glancing at Dahok
<Kio> 2Glances at the party as he stops, kio moves himself against a wall and simply watches.
* Ire pauses, feeling a pair of eyes on him. He turns to look at Kio.
<Kio> 2Looks torward ire, but it doesn't last long as his eyes glance to the side
<Ire> Alright, lets do it. I've provided these metallic objects for you to land on. *produces what seems to be hoverboards.*
<Ire> They will help your decent to the ground.
* Dahok grabs one and looks at it
<Dahok> How they work...
* Terra` grabs one too, looking it over
<Terra`> NRP: *is reminded of Red Dwarf*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Awesome!"
<Ire> ... I'm not sure. The instructions said you *steps onto one, trying to keep his balance* step on it..then...*slides out the hanger doors, falling to the ground*
* Eve watches Ire crash through the trees. She pauses.
<Kio> 14"Looks like something i used as a kid.."
<Terra`> ... that... wasn't good...
<Eve> ...somehow I don't think that's the proper way.
<Silouette> "...I'm not impressed."
<Dahok> Hmm....*holds it over his head and leaps out, trying to use it as a parachute*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Well...who's next?"
* Eve watches Dahok crash through the trees next, wincing slightly
<Eve> Nope. Wrong again.
<Kio> 14"..give me one..
<Kio> *whoops damn enter*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Eve...ladies first..."
<Terra`> Maybe you're supposed to switch them on, somehow?
<Eve> I'm not a feminist, thank you.
<Silouette> NRP: How high up are we?
<Ire> NRP: Not high at all. A fall won't hurt you if you screw up
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *stands on his boards and slides out the hanger door*
<kaos`> NRP: board*
<Ire> GM: *Kit successfully hovers down to the ground*
* Ire pushes himself up, looking annoyed.
<Kio> 2Shrugs and graps one before moving over torward the edge of the hanger. So he leaps and at the same time places it unde rhis legs and activate..putting it forward in a verticle dip so he can catch air and successfully stop once on the ground.
* Terra` watches Kit, and follows, doing the same
<Kio> *grabs*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Wow, where did you get these Ire?"
<Ire> I found them in the supply closet. *rotates his arm, watching Kio successfully land, too*
* Dahok looks over at Ire, the board still over his head
* Ire then watches Terra land.
* Eve gracefully steps out of the hanger, falling and landing on her feet.
<Dahok> ...Those guys just got lucky.
* Silouette steps out without a board at all.
<Ire> ...
<Kio> 14"I used to play with similar things when i was kid..the usage is actually quite simple"
* Ire grunts, then begins to trudge through the forest.
<Eve> I think we hurt their ego, guys.
* Dahok throws the board to the side and walks after Ire
* Terra` tries not to laugh.. and succeeds
<Ire> NRP: LOL. That made me laugh
<Kio> 14"Are we supposed to use these things or walk from here.."
<Ire> Walk.
<Dahok> NRP: They look strangely like...Ironing Boards..
* Eve follows after Ire.
* Silouette starts towards their destination
* Terra` follows after Eve.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *walks up next to Ire* "So...are we doing anything special once we infiltrate this place?"
<Kio> 14"Hmm..guess that was only supposed to be a cool entrance then.." 2Places the board under his right arm and walks after them
<Ire> Our primary objective is to retrieve whatever data we can from their computers. If we are able to, then we'll follow up with the destruction of their base.
* Dahok leaps up into the air and grabs onto a vine and swings forward, letting go and landing infront of the group, he stops there and waits for the others
* Eve leans back, whispering to Terra
<Eve> I think he's showing off for us.
* Ire stops at a river, eyeing it. He then proceeds to walk across a fallen tree that crosses the river.
<Silouette> ....he thinks he's Tarzan...
* Terra` giggles a bit, despite herself
* Dahok hops onto the log and walks across it
<Ire> GM: *the log breaks and Dahok is dumped into the river*
* Ire pauses on the other side, glancing back
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *sneaks up behind Sil* "Hey, still got that holovid remote I gave you?"
<Ire> NRP: LOL. He can't even remember who he gave it to!
* Dahok drops into the water and drops below the water level, seconds later he pops back up and stands out of it
<Silouette> ......
* Eve stops at the river, eyeing the distance across - 7 feet. She pauses, then tenses her body, leaping across to the other side.
<kaos`> NRP: Who'd I give it to?
* Ire looks at Dahok dryly.
<Ire> NRP: Terr.a
<kaos`> NRP: Son of a b****!!!
* Dahok starts to trudge across it, he actually seems to be enjoyign the dip in the water
* Ire looks back at the others, waiting to see if they will walk through the water - which is 4 feet deep - or find other ways to cross it.
* Terra` pauses for a second at the riverbank, to say three words, then leaps across. "Free your mind."
* Terra` giggles on landing
* Ire stares blankly.
<Dahok> NRP: Did she just leap across 7 ft?
<Terra`> NRP: Yes
<Ire> NRP: Terra is AWESOME.
<Dahok> NRP: How?!
<Silouette> NRP: That's really not far...
<Silouette> NRP: Hell, I can do that IRL =P
<Terra`> NRP: Badass jumping power?
<Dahok> NRP: I hate you all!
* Eve smiles at Terra
<Eve> That's some jump you have there.
* Dahok looks at Terra jump across, and trudges to the sure, now 2 ft deep in water
<Terra`> Thanks.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *makes his way across the bank trying to catch up with Terra* "TERRA WAIT!!!"
* Ire looks at Kit run through the water toward Terra
* Silouette leaps across... it's not like it's across a road or anything.
* Ire smacks his forehead
* Dahok steps out of the river, water dripping off his nappy hair, clothes and body
* Ire glances at Kio on the other side.
<Ire> Coming?
<Kio> Nrp: Sorry bout that, wireless mouse died
<Ire> GM: *up ahead, if anyone continues in the direction, they would find patches of strange looking sand*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *finally exits the water and staggers over to Terra out of breath* "I...I'm glad I caught you...I was wondering how that remote is treating you."
* Ire turns and moves onward, stopping at the sand to glance around. There seem to be vines hanging down from trees that are around the sand.
<Kio> 2Nodss and follows ire
<Ire> NRP: So far the girls are doing better than the guys
* Terra` looks at Kit in surprise. "Uhh... fine?"
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Good, I worked hard to get that remote.."
* Silouette hops up, pulling herself up onto a thick treebranch, to get an aerial view of the area.
<Terra`> .oO(Riiight...)
<Ire> GM: *the area seems to be covered in patches of sand - further ahead is the Janus base, but to get there, one has to walk across the sand*
<kaos`> NRP: Stealing from a hospital is harder than you think lol
<Kio> 2Chuckles then looks to the hover board 14"Glad i held onto this bad boy.."
* Eve grabs a vine and pulls herself up onto a tree branch. She then just uses the trees to avoid the sand.
* Dahok hops up onto a vine and grabs it, he then begins swinging back and forth
* Terra` looks over her hoverboard too. "Might be quicksand."
* Ire sighs, grabbing another vine and using it to swing across a patch of sand.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *stands there, not being the most athletic of the group* "What should I do?"
* Terra` hoverboards over the sand
* Ire lands, then grabs another vine and swings over another patch, then another until he reaches the end.
<Kio> 2Once again steps on his board and activates it 14"Indeed.." 2With that he takes off over the sand
* Dahok swings forward and lets go, grabbing onto another vine and swinging forward from there
* Silouette just walks lightly across the branches
* Eve does the same as Sil, landing down beside Ire a few moments later.
<Terra`> *jokingly* Show off.
<Ire> GM: *Poor Kit is now alone...can he make it across the sand?!*
<Silouette> NRP: * Dahok falls into the sand... finding it's just that. Sand. Nothing special.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *looks for a way around the sand*
<Ire> GM: *there seems to be a fallen tree, half sunk into the sand in one spot. Kit could climb out onto the tree, then try to jump to the other side*
* Dahok keeps leaping from vine to vine till he reaches Ire, Eve and Sil. He lets go and does a full flip, landing next to the three
<Ire> Everyone here---? *he pauses, noting Kit hasn't made it. He watches him*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Bingo!" *runs over to the fallen tree and steps onto it*
<Kio> NRP: Damn i hate wireless mouses
<Ire> GM: *the tree sinks slightly, but seems to be supporting Kit's weight*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *walks carefully and then attempts to jump across the rest of the sand*
<Kio> 2Reachs the other side in no time and smirks before turning the board along with him. He watches kit intently..getting ready to bolt over if he fails..
<Ire> GM: *Kit soars through the air in slow motion, then falls down toward the sand*
<Ire> ...
<kaos`> NRP: Well damn.
<Ire> GM: *he lands on the sand and nothing happens*
<Terra`> ... *bursts out laughing*
<Kio> 14"Heh..all that worry..over sand?"
<Ire> ...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *at this point he is screaming and swinging his arms around*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "HELP!!!"
* Eve covers her mouth as she laughs
<kaos`> NRP: He thinks its quicksand
<Dahok> ...*looks over at Kit* Is he always this retardeD?
* Ire stares at Kit
<Silouette> ......... *smirks juuust slightly*
<Kio> 14"..."
* Ire coughs into his hand, then proceeds onward.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *stops and looks up at Ire* "Phew...its not quick sand." *climbs out and continues onward*
<Silouette> .....idiot... *heads after Ire*
* Eve follows the others.
<Kio> 2Gets off his board and takes it in his left hand then proceed to follow them
<Ire> GM: *finally, up ahead, they reach an area cleared of trees - in the center is a 4 story tall base, constructed of metals. It seems to be circular and could go into the ground, since there is muffled vibrations and sounds below them, perhaps from digging machines. There seems to be only one entrance - the front door, where five guards stand around. On top of the base is 3 plasma cannons.*
<Silouette> ...they certainly made themselves at home...
<Dahok> Anyway to sneak into here without setting off the alarms?
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "I knew it wasn't quicksand..." *wants that to be settled*
<Kio> 14"..nothing explosives can't handle.."
* Terra` grins, hearing that
<Dahok> Alright you two pyros...
<Terra`> It'll still be pretty obvious, once we're in, though
<kaos`> NRP: There are ppl controlling the plasma cannons right?
<Ire> NRP: Controlled from within the base.
* Dahok looks around the building, trying to see what may be of use to them
<Ire> GM: *there is nothing. Janus was thorough enough to have sufficent space between their base and the forest*
<Dahok> Looks like it's gonna have to be a straight out attack.
<Kio> 14"Heh..could always pick those 5 guys off from a long distance..go in that way.."
* Ire checks his rifle as they talk.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Mind if I help Ire?" *grabs his rifle as well*
* Ire motions to two of the five
<Ire> Take them
* Ire lifts his rifle up, taking aim at one of the others.
<Silouette> ...think they could take them out quietly?
* Terra` takes aim at a third
* Ire prepares for a headshot.
<Ire> ...Now.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *closes one eye and pulls the trigger, then quickly moves to the 2nd guard aiming at his throat*
<Dahok> Whether they're taken out quietly or noisely, they'll still come to check it out
* Ire pulls the trigger.
* Terra` shoots
<Ire> GM: *the guard's head explodes open, then another one goes down, then a third one*
* Ire takes aim at a fifth one and fires at his head.
<Ire> GM: *the 5th one goes down. The remaining guard looks around, chocked, then goes for his radio*
* Dahok thrusts his finger up, a vine shoots up and grabs the radio, pulling it to the ground
<Ire> Guard: ... *runs for the doors*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Poor guy..."
* Ire aims at the back of the last one, then fires, hitting him and causing him to spin against the wall. The guard struggles for the door.
<Silouette> ...put him out of his misery.
* Terra` takes aim at the guard's head
<Kio> 2Gets back on the hoverboard as the shooting is going on.
<Ire> GM: *the guard touches the keypad, tapping in a code, and opens the doors. He tries to get in*
* Terra` fires
<Ire> GM: *the guard is shot in the head and dies*
<Ire> GM: *the doors begin to close again*
<Terra`> Lets go?
<Ire> Go.
* Dahok crouches and makes a break for the door
* Ire runs out from the cover of the forest, trying to reach the door before it closes.
* Terra` heads for the door, as quickly as possible
<Kio> 2He takes off on the hoverboard at amazing speeds, leaving a cloud of dust behind him
* Eve hurries after them, running across the field as fast as she can go. She seems to be moving inhumanly fast.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *puts his rifle over his shoulder and starts running like crazy*
* Silouette dashes for the door as fast as she can manage
* Eve arrives at the door and suddenly grabs the doors, pushing against them, stopping it from closing. A grinding sound is heard.
* Dahok watches Eve rush by him
* Ire regulates his breathing, then moves through the door into a small room in the base.
* Dahok runs upto the door and slides under Eve and inside
* Silouette dives inside, rolling to her feet once past the door.
<Kio> 2Jumps off and runs into the base smirking to himself. He looks back at eve 14"Need help with those doors?"
* Ire swings his rifle around, eyeing the small room. There's a single door inside.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *unholsters his pistol as he runs through the door
* Eve looks over her shoulder, shaking her head, then leaps back, letting the doors slam shut
<Eve> I'm fine.
* Ire moves to the door and presses his ear to it.
<Dahok> ...Why didn't the cannons fire?
<Terra`> Because we took out the guards?
<Silouette> ....they were never informed of a threat...
<Kio> 14"Figured it would be nice to ask.." 2Chuckles..not exactly really open by pulling off displays like she did. He walks forward, pulling out his pistols
* Ire motions for Kio to cover the door with his weapons
<Dahok> Figured they'd be automated.
* Ire then reaches a hand down to the knob.
<Kio> 2Nods and presses his back against the wall and aims both pistols at eye level..ready for anything in the room that might pop out as it opens
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *hums to himself while holding his pistol out infront of him*
* Ire grips the handle, then swings the door open. A guard stands there, his mouth opening in surprise.
<Kio> 2He quickly unleashes a round, aimed betweem the eyes
<Ire> GM: *the guard is hit and falls back, impacting on the ground. Blood runs out onto the floor, staining it red*
* Silouette stays back a bit, hand rested on her sword... too many people in front of her with guns aimed forward for her to be stupid enough to stand there.
<Terra`> NRP: * Kio hits Ire instead
<Kio> NRP: i'd hope i'm not that bad of an aim
* Dahok crosses his arms waiting
<Ire> GM: *further down the hallway is three doors on the left, three on the right, and one at the end. A camera is in the hall, rotating back and forth*
<Kio> 14"Would it be better to blow the camera up..or sneak past it?"
* Terra` watches its pattern, trying to work out if she can run underneath when it turns away
<Ire> If we destroy the camera, they'll be alerted.
<Kio> 14"This is quite a large crowd you expect to get past that camera.."
<Terra`> If we time it right, and go one at a time, we might be able to get to its blind spot without being seen.
<Ire> GM: *the camera faces their direction for 4.7 seconds, then begins to rotate toward the right for a total of 3 seconds, then faces the right side for 4.3 seconds, then turns leftward again for a total of 3 seconds. The hall's length to the last door at the end is 10 meters - the closest door is 5 meters*
<kaos`> NRP: Too many numbers AHHH
<Eve> He's right. I don't know if we could all make it.
<Dahok> We just go one ata time..
<Terra`> NRP: Hmm.. so it'd be possible to get underneath the camera while it was looking away, and then past it when it looks away again?
<Kio> 14"Thats not much time in betweem blind spots.."
<Ire> NRP: Indeed - the camera is at the 5 meter mark
<Terra`> It's certainly possible though.
<Kio> 14"But time consuming.."
* Dahok stops, waiting for the camera to start sweeping away
<Ire> GM: *the camera looks at them....then starts turning away*
* Terra` heads under the camera while it's turning to face away, making sure she doesn't move before it's safe to run without being seen
* Dahok starts moving but then stops when Terra jumps infront of her.
<Ire> GM: *Terra makes it, then camera sweeps back to the left now*
<Kio> 14"Nice teamwork..real nice"
<Silouette> NRP: *GASP* Dahok's a girl!
* Terra` moves for the door once the coast is clear
<Ire> NRP: I knew it
<Dahok> NRP: Shit my secrets out...
<Dahok> NRP: *Takes a death pill*
<Ire> GM: *Terra reaches the end door*
<Ire> GM: *the camera is now moving to the right*
* Terra` heads in, gun ready in case the room is occupied
* Dahok mvoes forward making his way to underneath the camera
* Terra` closes the door after her
<Ire> GM: *the room is a circular room, with an elevator in front of Terra in the center of the room.*
<Ire> GM: *Dahok makes it. The camera is now moving left*
<Terra`> NRP: AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
<Kio> 14"Whos next?"
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Me?"
<Ire> GM: *it stops, then starts moving right*
* Dahok stays waiting under the camera.
<Kio> 14"Make up your minds fast"
<Ire> GM: *the camera then starts moving left*
<kaos`> NRP: I forget when to run.
<Ire> NRP: LOL. Kio's going to get fed up and just shoot it.
<Kio> NRP: Lol guard the entrance..
* Dahok waits for it to start looking down the left hall and sprints towards the end door, opening it and stepping inside
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving to the right*
<Terra`> NRP: When it moves right, run for the camera. When it moves left, run for the door
* Dahok closes the door behind him
<Ire> Go.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *takes this time to dash to under the camera*
<Ire> GM: *the camera stops, then starts moving left*
<Kio> 14"I'll go next?"
<Ire> You go next.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *runs to the door with the others*
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving right*
<Kio> 2Runs out taking this time to get under it
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving left*
* Ire looks at Eve, then motions for her to go next.
<Kio> 2Dashes to the door, closing it behind him
<Ire> GM: *the camera then starts moving right.*
* Eve runs under the camera, pausing.
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving left*
* Eve runs to the door, opens it, and steps inside, closing it.
<Kio> 14"Heh..took all my effort not to shoot that damn thing.."
<Ire> GM: *the camera then starts moving right.*
<Ire> Alright, SIl.
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving left*
<Ire> ...
<Terra`> NRP: BRB
<Ire> GM: *the camera then starts moving right.*
* Ire eyes Sil
* Dahok looks around the room their in
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving left*
<Kio> NRP: Thats it..i'm shooting the camera
<Dahok> NRP: He probably fell asleep.
<Silouette> NRP: Trying to remember which direction is which -.-
<Ire> GM: *the camera then starts moving right.*
<Ire> Go. Go now.
<Dahok> NRP: Left is like your left hand...Right is liek your right.
* Silouette moves quickly to under the camera
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving left*
<Silouette> NRP: ......
<Dahok> NRP :EEEK! *runs*
* Silouette moves for the door
<Ire> GM: *the room Dahok and the others are in is circular, with an elevator in the center.*
<Silouette> NRP: *STABBIES*
<Ire> GM: *the camera then starts moving right.*
* Ire runs under the camera
<Ire> GM: *the camera starts moving left*
* Ire runs through the door
<Dahok> We'll wait for Ire now..
<Silouette> ...he's already here.
<Dahok> ...Took him long enough. *Walks over to the elevator*
<Ire> GM: *the elevator has an up or down button
* Terra` follows Dahok to the elevator
<Dahok> We wanna go up or down Ire?
<Ire> NRP: On the next hallway, I'll have TWO cameras!
* Ire pauses, thinking
<Kio> NRP: Were gonna get caught there..might as well shoot them
* Silouette steps on the elevator
<Ire> We need to find the data archieves. ...
<Dahok> You know bases better than me.
* Eve gets on the elevator.
<Kio> 2Moves over to the elevator while pulling out his rifle. 14"Well you'd wanna go down if you wanna plant explosives and destroy the place.."
<Terra`> Where would they be...? Basement, or higher floor...?
<Ire> True. We'll check below first.
* Ire steps onto the elevator, hitting the down button
<Kio> 2Steps onto the elevator
<Ire> GM: *the elevator doors begin to close*
* Eve grabs Kit and yanks him into the elevator.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *is yanked by Eve*
<kaos`> NRP: Lol, had to say it.
<Ire> GM: *the doors close and the elevator jerks, moving downward*
* Terra` sticks with the group
<Kio> 2Puts his rifle in a ready stance..his finger on the trigger
<Ire> GM: *the elevator finally stops and the doors open up. Before them is a door*
<Dahok> ...*looks at Ire* Not good.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *cocks his pistol and holds it out infront of him*
* Ire reaches out for the door.
* Terra` readies her gun
<Kio> 2Moves out and crouches, placing the rifle on his shoulder 14"Check it for tripwires first"
* Dahok slides agains the side of the elevator
* Ire grips the handle, feeling it.
<Ire> Alright. *opens it. Suddenly, on the other side, five guards perk up - they are guarding the entrance to some sort of mines*
<Ire> GM: *the guards grab their guns and aim at the elevator*
* Silouette dives forward, pulling into a roll and attempting to stab one of the guards as she stops.
* Terra` fires back
<Ire> GM: *one of the guards is stabbed. The other open fire into the elevator*
<Terra`> * Well.. they haven't.. okay, now they have
* Ire falls onto his back to avoid the shows.
<Kio> 2He immediatly unleashes a coverfire of superheated bullets while ducking cover behind the door
<Ire> (shots)
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *drops on his butt and fires pop shots in the direction of the guards*
* Dahok waits patiently against the side of the elevator
<Ire> GM: *the guards are hit, forcing them back. They lob a grenade into the elevator*
<Ire> GM: *the other guards fire at Sil at close range*
* Terra` darts out of the elevator quickly
* Ire eyes the grenade.
<Dahok> *looks at the grenade* Shit..*leaps out of the elevator and through the door*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *jumps out of the elevator, still firing*
<Kio> 14"Shit!!" 2He also runs out the door..he was gonna kick it back but not anymore
* Ire goes to kick it, but eyes everyone running
<Ire> ...
* Ire gets to his feet and dives out as the elevator explodes, the explosion hitting him and sending him crashing.
<Terra`> IRE!
<Kio> 2Looks back before aiming forward again, unleashing another volley of rounds torward the guards 14"Idiots.."
<Ire> GM: *The last four guards run into the mine shaft*
* Dahok hits the ground and rolls
* Ire lays on the ground, smoke rising from his trench coat.
* Dahok rolls to a stop on his buttand skids slightly
* Silouette throws a pair of blades at one of the retreating guards, then turns to the others.
<Kio> 14"They know we are hear now..i suggest we get a vantage point and stay there
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *runs over to Ire* "You okay man?!"
<Kio> *here*
* Eve is already after the guards, vanishing into the mines.
<Dahok> ..*looks at Kio* Vantage point? We're in a friggin mine shaft!
* Ire grips the ground suddenly, twitching when Kit talks to him. He pushes himself up, wincing.
<Terra`> Kio.. how will they even get at us?
<Terra`> ... how will we even get out?
<Kio> 14"We pretty much have to climb now"
<Dahok> They wouldn't have destroyed the only exit unless there were others.
<Silouette> ...assuming they were intelligent.
<Kio> 14"Because you guys panicked and dived out..the proper thing to do was kick it back at them.."
<Dahok> Point...
* Ire leans against the wall, silent during the debate.
* Dahok starts to walk down the mineshaft then stops and places his hand against the dirt
<Terra`> Ire, are you okay?
<Ire> GM: *Dahok would see a dead guard with a blade in his neck*
<Kio> 2Follows Dahok at his side..his gun ready
* Ire nods his head slowly.
* Dahok looks at the dead guard and turns back, his hand still on the dirt
<Ire> My back is burnt.
<Dahok> You got one Sil.
* Ire follows after the others, moving slower.
<Kio> 2Begins ahead again, following after where even went
* Silouette nods to Dahok, then heads down the tunnel
<Ire> GM: *the mine shaft leads down - where they find another dead body - a broken neck*
* Dahok starts walking after the others
* Ire shuffles after them, keeping his rifle ready
* Dahok catches upto IRe
<Kio> 2Paces faster now 14"My..she was pissed wasn't she"
<Dahok> Bad news chief...
<Ire> GM: *the shaft splits into two routes now*
<Ire> *left and right*
<Dahok> We aren't in the simulator anymore...They're digging up the real deal.
<Ire> ...
<Terra`> ... real deal...?
<Ire> We're below the simulator.
<Kio> 14"Which way..?"
<Ire> GM: *a guy's scream is heard to the left*
* Terra` starts to the left, a little cautiously
<Dahok> From the look of the base, I doubt they're processing it here...They'd have to be shipping it somewhere else.
<Kio> 2Takes that as the answer and runs down the hallway..his gun still readied
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *follows behind the K-man*
* Eve looks up as Kio and Kit come running up. She's standing over a hole in the ground.
* Terra` follows Kio then, keeping pace.
* Ire follows after them.
<Terra`> Eve?
<Eve> Yeah, that's me.
<Silouette> ...what are they after?
* Dahok looks down the right passageway
* Dahok looks at Sil
<Terra`> What's that hole?
<Dahok> Seems to be Ore and Metals.
<Eve> A misstep.
<Dahok> Can't give you the specifics.
<Kio> 2Looks at eve assuming they caught up 14"Have fun did you?"
<Eve> Just trying to keep them from alerting everyone down here.
<Kio> 14"I only saw three dead guards..wheres the other 2?"
* Dahok places his hand against the dirt wall
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, there's a rumbling in the shaft*
<Eve> ...
* Eve looks around
* Terra` looks down the hole
<Kio> 14"..uh?"
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, a huge drilling machines busts through a nearby wall - it's built like a tank, but with two giant drills in the front*
* Dahok narrows his eyes and looks at Sil
<Dahok> Feel thaT?
* Ire steps back, eyeing the machine.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Well...that sucks.."
* Terra` jumps, watching the machine
<Silouette> .....
<Kio> 2Begins to walk backwards from the machine smirking. He readies a grenade round..looking at it for any vulnerable points
<Ire> GM: *The machine drives at them, trying to run them over*
<Ire> GM: *there seems to be a driver's compartment, but it's behind the two drills*
* Dahok looks down the hallways the others are down to see if he can see waht's going on
* Ire paces backwards, then turns and runs away.
* Eve stands there, then begins to relunctantly run
* Terra` runs away, firing back at the machine, between the drills
<Ire> GM: *the shots are deflected by the drills*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *follows behind Ire, very closely*
<Ire> GM: *the machine is just about upon Kio, since he's not running*
<Kio> 2Sighs before picking up his pace in running..his begins to grow abnormally large as everything seems to blurr to his vision. He looks around torward the machine
<Ire> GM: *the machine continues to drive up after them*
* Silouette stays back, not sure how to take on something with this much armour
<Ire> GM: *the group is finally cornered at the entrance of the shaft - they have no where to run*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Anyone got any mines?"
<Dahok> Eeek...
<Kio> 14"Here goes..nothing.." 2He turns around and aims carefully..those eyes growing. He leaps into the air..and unleashes a round..hopefully passing by the drills
* Dahok starts mumbling to hismelf
* Terra` moves to throw an explosive... and stops
<Kio> 2Nade roun that is
<Ire> GM: *the drill moves in front of the round, taking the hit. The drill is partially damaged*
* Dahok moves his hands together and two groups of vines erupt from the sides of the digger and begin trying to wrap around the drills
<Ire> GM: *the second drill tries to impale Kio*
<Ire> GM: *the second drill stops short by the vines*
<Ire> GM: *then it breaks free*
<Kio> 2Quickly reloads another round, sweating. Being so close he moves back and tries to lob off another round in betweem the drills
* Dahok starts moving his hands again, more vines begin to sprout out of the dirt walls and wrap around the drills
<Kio> *between*
<Dahok> Don't just stand there!
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *fires bullets at the ceiling above the machine*
<Ire> GM: *the drills block the shot again, then are grabbed by the vines, stopped*
<Ire> GM: *The ceiling crashes on the machine, damaging the roof*
* Dahok continues summoning more vines to wrap around the drillbits
<Ire> GM: *the drills are unable to block currently*
<Kio> 14"Dammit..!!" 2He takes the opportune moment to reload while the drillbits are stopped..and fires yet again
<Dahok> SOMEONE SHOOT THE DRIVER!
<Ire> GM: *the attack goes through, smashing into the driver's compartment, blowing it up*
* Terra` shoots at thr driver
<Ire> GM: *the driver is now exposed. He is then .. shot by Terra*
<Ire> GM: *The drilling machine starts to spin in circles*
* Dahok begins to make the vines retreat but stops them along the walls, he has them tie into each other to reinforce the walls
<Kio> 2Falls backwards, panting
<Terra`> Now what?
<Ire> GM: *The machine crashes into a wall, shaking the mine*
<Ire> ....
<Eve> That doesn't look good, guys
<Ire> GM: *parts of the ceiling start coming down*
<Silouette> .....vacating would likely be a good idea...
<Ire> GM: *the machine twists again, drilling into the wall*
<Kio> 2Gets to his feet 14"I guess we shart starting going up!"
<Kio> *start*
<Ire> ....
* Ire moves down one of the shafts, hoping there's an exit
* Eve runs after Ire.
* Dahok runs after Ire
<Kio> 2Follows after them
* Terra` runs after Ire
<Ire> GM: *the walls begin to crack around them*
* Silouette darts after Ire, taking the lead if he's not fast enough
* Ire watches Sil take the lead, since he's wounded.
* Terra` runs after.. Sil
<Ire> GM: *As Sil runs forward, she would find herself in a big cavern with twenty miners. On the other side is another elevator*
* Dahok grabs onto Ire and tries to help him move faster
* Eve runs up beside Sil, eyeing the miners.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *runs after anyone infront of him*
<Ire> GM: *the cavern in here is now shaking. It's obvious it's about to collapse. The miners run in a panic, swarming the elevator exit*
<Kio> 2Moves next to ire and smirks, he also helps grabs ire to further increase their speed to the elevator
<Silouette> NRP: How big is the elevator?
<Dahok> NRP: It won't be big enough.
<Ire> NRP: It can only hold about 8 people.
<Kio> NRP: Miner Killing time
* Eve leaps over some miners, heading for the elevator.
<kaos`> NRP: Lol
* Silouette hesitates, uncertain what to do. She scans over the rook.
* Terra` follows Eve, but not as fast
* Dahok pushes miners aside as Kio and himself help IRe
<Ire> GM: *15 miners claw at one another to get in the elevator*
<Ire> GM: *the other five eye the team*
<Kio> 2Does the same thing..except he pushes them back with the tip of his rifle..ready to rip rounds into the first one who gives him a funny face
* Eve begins to throw miners away from the elevator.
<Ire> GM: *some miners attack Kio and Eve*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *points his pistol at the miners, accidently firing a shot into one of their knees*
* Dahok swings himself around Ire and kicks at a miner attacking Io
<Dahok> NRP: Kio
<Kio> 2Grimaces before pressing the trigger at his attackers 14"Lets hurry up here!"
* Dahok moves back around to the other side
<Ire> GM: *The miners go down, causing a mass panic - as if there wasn't already one. Eight miners slip in the elevator and hit the door close button*
<kaos`> NRP: Oh hell no
<Silouette> NRP: Evil elevator.
<Kio> 14"Shit..someone stop the dooring from closing!!"
<Ire> GM: *the doors attempt to close*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *sticks his arm in the door*
* Terra` does her best to keep them open
<Ire> GM: *the doors attempt to crush Kit's arm...then reopen*
<Ire> GM: *a miner kicks at Kit's face*
* Dahok reaches the elevator door with Kio and Ire
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *is kicked and falls back on his back blood coming from his nose*
<Kio> 2Reaches the elevator and places his gun in the elevator 14"I suggest you all find alternative methods..NOW"
<Ire> GM: *the eight miners rush at Kio*
* Dahok sticks his foot in the door
* Eve knocks out some miners who are fighting with her.
* Dahok grabs the first one that comes close to him and hurls him behind him, he then kicks backwards and into the chest of another one
* Silouette slips into the elevator as the eight rush at Kio
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *looks up angrily, firing shots at miners' heads any chance he gets*
<Kio> 2Once again spreads out fire upon the eight minors, hoping to kill them all in one fell swoop 14"Get on now!"
<Ire> GM: *the miners die*
* Eve swings herself into the elevator.
* Terra` darts into the elevator
<Ire> GM: *part of the mine collapses, crashing some miners*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *jumps to his feet and runs into the elevator*
<Kio> 2Throws ire into the elevator along with himself
* Ire hits the elevator wall hard
<Ire> Ung!
* Terra` throws out the miner corpses quickly, if they're still in
* Dahok leaps into the elevator
* Silouette helps Ire up, and out of the way of the commotion
<Ire> GM: *the doors close as soon as Terra throws the corpses out*
<Ire> GM: *the elevator starts rising slowly - they can see out it - the entire mine is crashing in. The elevator shudders as if ready to give out*
<Ire> ...*nods to Sil*
<Kio> 14"Sorry about that.." 2Motions to ire before wiping from his face
<Ire> It's fine.
<Ire> GM: *the elevator is soon out of the mine - now they can hear an alarm*
<Ire> GM: *the elevator is back in the base, which seems to be shaking itself*
<Kio> 14"Is the base collapsing also?"
<Ire> ...if the ground beneath is giving out...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *wipes the blood from his nose with his shirt*
<Dahok> The base'll collapse with it.
<Eve> Great - and we still need that data Ire wanted.
<Kio> 14"Why is the mine collapsing in the first place!"
<Dahok> The hit a weak spot in the Earth.
<Ire> GM: *the elevator doors open - it seems they are on the top floor of the base now*
* Dahok hops out quickly and looks around
* Silouette dittos what Dahok did
<Kio> 2Follows suit
<Ire> GM: *Dahok is in a hallway that extends forward to one door*
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *steps out of the elevator, holstering his pistol*
* Ire steps out slowly.
* Eve moves out, her hands up in the air for combat.
* Dahok sprints towards the door
* Dahok braces himself and rams into the door
<Ire> GM: *the door busts in- revealing the control room.*
<Ire> GM: *standing there are several guards and technicians*
* Dahok slides to a halt and spins around, finding the nearest guard
<Dahok> You...FREEZE!
* Terra` takes a shot at one of the guards
* Dahok sprints at the nearest one and headbutts him
<Kio> 2Takes a knee and aims his rifle into the control room
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Great..." *grabs his pistol back out and aims at some good ol' kneecaps, taking pop shots*
* Silouette charges past the fallen door, taking her sword to the throat of one of the guards, but doesn't move to kill him.
<Ire> GM: *the guards are taken by surprise and fall down dead*
* Eve flips in and kicks a guard backwards.
<Dahok> ...*turns to the nearest technician* What are you mining for herE?
<Ire> Technican: ... *says nothing*
<Ire> Guard: *eyes Sil...quivering*
* Dahok pulls his fist back
<Dahok> Tell me now...
<Ire> GM: *other guards roll on the floor, holding their knees*
<Ire> Technician: Never.
<Kio> 2Gets to his feet and walks in 14"Shoot a technician..make an example"
<Dahok> *punches the technician across the face*
* Terra` checks the nearestconsole
* Ire hurries over to a computer, trying to figure out how to access it
* Terra` checks the nearest console, even
* Silouette disarms the guard she has... occupied.
<Ire> GM: *the computers are all password ocked*
<Ire> GM: *the technician is knocked out*
* Dahok turns to the next Technician
* Ire pulls out a device, hooking it to the computers. He activates the device.
<Ire> Technician: ... *edges away*
<Terra`> ... well, that works
<Dahok> You're turn...What are you mining for herE?
<Ire> Technician: Ore.
<Terra`> NRP: <Terra> WHAT did you call me!?! *shoots the tech*
<Dahok> What for...
<Ire> Technician: ...
<Ire> ...Jerry's hacking the system.
* Ire looks at the others.
* Dahok grabs the Tech's finger
<Ire> GM: *The entire room shudders*
<Dahok> Tell me or I'll break it.
<Ire> Technician: ... I don't know!
* Dahok looks at him
<Kio> 2Puts his rifle away and pulls out both pistols 14"..i suggest you make it quick and tell us later..we have a few minutes max"
<Ire> GM: *the console activates as the password is bypassed*
* Dahok backhands the tech
<Ire> GM: *the tech hits the ground*
* Eve paces around, tugging at her jacket.
<Ire> GM: *some files pop up titled "Janus Directive"*
<Kio> 2Throws a pistol at dahok 14"Shoot his kneecap"
<Dahok> ...*doesn't catch the pistol*
* Ire eyes the files, trying to figure out how to activate them
* Dahok grabs the finger again and starts to pull back on it
<Kio> 14"...or that works.."
<Ire> Technician: Urrgh...
<Dahok> Tell me what I want to know.
<Kio> 2Sighs and picks up the pistol
<Ire> Technician: I... ung...don't know..
<Dahok> Then what do you know.
<Ire> Technician: N-Nothing.
<Ire> GM: *the room shudders again*
<Dahok> *breaks the finger*
<Silouette> *would be breathing down the guard's neck, if she actually did* ....do you know...? *shifts her grip on her sword*
<Ire> Technician: *Screams in pain*
<Ire> Guard: Um, no ma'am.
<Dahok> Now tell me.
<Ire> Technician: I don't...KNOW...you ... FUCKING...MORON
<Kio> 2Begins to back up torward the elevator, he looks backward 14"Heh..we don't have time for this"
* Ire activates the Janus Directive files with Jerry's help through the uplink
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Ahh I can't watch the mafia style info gathering"
<Silouette> *moves the blade closer to his neck* ...are you sure?
<Dahok> *punches the guard, knocking him out*
<Ire> Guard: Quite.
<Ire> Guard: *is knocked out...?*
<Kio> Nrp: Lol
<Ire> Technician: *eyes Dahok punching the guard*
<Silouette> NRP: Was that the same guard I was holding? o.O
<Ire> NRP: Only guard!
<Dahok> NRP: I meant tech.
<Ire> I have something.
* Eve moves over to Ire
<Dahok> NRP: ahh well...
* Dahok turns back to the Technician and picks him up by the collar
<Ire> GM: *a crack in the wall appears as the structure beneath shifts*
* Ire reads through the information
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Can't you read that later?!" *watches the crack*
<Ire> GM: *Kio would notice an emergency set of stairs leading to the roof*
<Dahok> *throws the tech to the side and crosses his arms*
<Kio> 14"..man.." 2Looks at the stairs and smirks 14"We need to go..now!" 2Moves torward them
* Eve follows after Kio
<Terra`> Hey, have you got the info yet?
<Ire> Not yet. Go on with the others.
* Ire keeps scrolling.
<Terra`> ... okay...
* Terra` starts after the others, reluctantly
<Kio> 2Stops once outside, allowing the others to pass him
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *goes to where kio is*
<Ire> GM: *once on the roof, it's a simple 4 story jump to the ground -- no, wait...3.5 stories...3...stories?*
* Eve glances as the base is sinking.
* Silouette moves over to the console Ire stands at.
* Dahok waits for Ire
<Dahok> We're sinking...
<Ire> GM: *information scrolls staring that Janus Corporation came to be 2 months after Slasher's disappearance*
<Dahok> Can you grab the harddrive?
<Ire> GM: *and that it's creation was due to a large sum of money from an unknown party - most likely someone in the government*
<Ire> Negative.
<Kio> 2Sighs and moves up the steps, he looks down torward the ground. 14"Hell if its sinking..then we can wait till ground level before getting off" 2Sarcasm of course
<Eve> GM: *suddenly the base starts tilting to the right*
<Eve> GM: *Then splits in two*
<Silouette> ....read faster Boss.
* Ire pauses, then scrolls information, seeing something that says "Skyhook"
<Kio> 14"Aww..crap"
* Ire goes to click it, but finds it heavily password protected.
* Eve grips the roof
<Eve> Get ready to jump to the ground, boys.
* Dahok feels the building start to tilt
<Ire> Dammit.
<Kio> 2Nods and puts away his pistols..grabbing onto it 14"Can do.."
* Ire grips the console as the base tilts.
<Dahok> It's time to get going...
<Terra`> Ire.. we don't have time...
* Ire pauses, seeing something that says 5th Column
<Dahok> Terra, go now.
<Eve> GM: *the base begins to twist on the left side, sinking rapidly. Thankfully, everyone is on the right side of the base*
<Terra`> What about you?
<Dahok> Don't worry about us.
* Ire goes to open the files on the 5th Column. Suddenly information pops up, indicating an alliance with Janus
<Terra`> ...
<Kio> 14"This is gonna be a close shave.."
<Eve> GM: *the right side starts rising up in the air oddly as the left side sinks*
<Terra`> ... what the hell is happening?
<Ire> ...damn. The Janus Corporation was using the 5th Column to start the war between Mega City and Britain and to steal Ayn's DNA...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "I wish Raven where here right about now.."
<Eve> ...
* Eve looks down as the ground gets further away. She jumps
* Eve hits the ground outside the base, rolling
<kaos`> NRP: He can fly can't he.
<Dahok> ...They have their fingers in a lot of things apparently.
* Ire stands up, trying to get more information when the powers goes out.
<Dahok> ...Shit...
<Silouette> ...time to go.
<Kio> 2Does the same as eve. He braces himself fo impact as he crashes into the ground with an almost sickening thud following by a curse.
<Terra`> Ire! Move it!
* Ire nods, then begins to head for the stairs.
* Dahok follows after Ire
* Terra` jumps
* Ire reaches the roof, until to see they're five stories in the air now as the left side of the base is totally gone.
* Eve turns around to eye the rising base.
<Dahok> Huh...5 stories..
<Ire> GM: *the right side then begins to fall to the ground rapidly*
<Ire> ....
<Dahok> Wait for the right moment...
* Ire tenses
* Ire then leaps off the base.
* Dahok begins to lean against the back of the building as it falls
* Dahok kicks off and leaps, hiitting the ground and rolling
* Ire hits the ground in a roll, tumbling.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *closes his eyes and jumps*
<Kio> 2Gets to his feet coughing
<Ire> GM: *the base vanishes into the ground moments later*
* Ire lays there, wincing.
<Ire> GM: *a sinkhole begins to form*
* Dahok turns
* Ire glances over.
* Silouette flees from the growing hole.
<Dahok> ...They dug too deep...MOVE...*pushes himself up*
* Ire pushes himself up
* Eve turns and runs from the growing sinkhole.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "Nothing like infiltrating bases huh.."
* Dahok looks at Ire
<Dahok> You gonna be fine?
* Ire nods, then begins to hurry.
<Kio> 2Does the same as eve, picking up his hoverboard on the way
<Ire> NRP: *Ire and Dahok fall into the sinkhole, then rise up as a UFO flies off*
* Dahok starts moving away from the sink hole
<Ire> GM: *the sinkhole continues to spread, heading right for Terra and Kit*
<kaos`> NRP: Lol I thought that was real for a sec.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *gets to his feet and starts running as fast as his tired body can go*
<Kio> Nrp: Lol Same
* Ire turnsb ack, seeing Terra hasn't moved
<Ire> ...Terra!
<Ire> GM: *the sinkhole is 5 seconds behind her...*
<Ire> GM: *4*
<Ire> GM: *3*
<Ire> GM: *2*
<Ire> GM: *1*
<Kio> 2Sees the hole growing and places his hoverboard under him and activates it
* Silouette grabs Terra and pulls her along
<Ire> GM: *the sinkhole follows on Sil's heels*
<Ire> GM: *then --- it stops*
<Kio> 2Looks back as he too halts 14"Is it..over?"
* Terra` flies up
<Eve> It's over.
<Terra`> NRP: Ack, distractions always happen at THE worst times
<Dahok> ...*slows to a stop, breathing out heavily
* Ire stands there, mulling over everything.
<Dahok> This is bad news Ire...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *falls back to the ground crying, mainly because hes almost died about 2 or 3 times today*
<Dahok> Just when we thought we answered some of the questions...
* Eve kneels down by Kit
<Eve> Are you okay?
<Ire> ...yes. Who funded Janus? Why were Janus and the 5th Column allied? ... and what is Skyhook...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *wipes his face* "Huh? Yea I'm just glad I didn't turn out like those miners."
* Terra` takes a deep breath
<Eve> You did good today.
<Dahok> ...We need to keep moving, Janus'll send people soon
<Ire> Yes. We'll head back to Altros.
<Silouette> ...skyhook? ...isn't that one of those big, transorbital structures...?
<Ire> ... *Frowns at the idea*
<Terra`> ...
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *screams as he wipes his face* "Holy crap that miner broke my nose."
<Dahok> Maybe that's what they need the ore and metal for.
<Kio> 2Places his board back to his side before giving off a sign of relief. Quickly he looks down, seeing a blood spot..but he is quick to cover it up. Kio mumbles to himself, something about being useless.
<Eve> We'll get you patched up.
<Silouette> ...it would certainly require alot.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 "I just want you to know Eve, that I knew it wasn't quick sand"
<Eve> Of course you didn't.
<Terra`> ... of course.
<Ire> GM: *scene jump - Altros now*
* Ire paces out medical packets to everyone
<Ire> (passes)
<Kio> 2Has obviously dissappeared..most likely to the room he was assigned too.
* Eve is taking a shower, like she always does.
<Ire> Fyro. We have one more thing to do here.
<kaos`> 7<5Kit Xeronia7>4 *has a giant bandage over his nose, so he stays in his room so nobody sees him*
* Silouette passes on the medical packet... it won't do her much good.
* Ire puts the rest of the packets up.
* Terra` isn't badly hurt
* Kio sits back against the wall to the side of his bed, he unleashes another sigh as he looks down
* Ire glances at Terra and Sil, looking them both over.
* Dahok looks at Ire and nods
<Dahok> It wont' be easy.
<Kio> 2Walks out of his room and heads torward the hangar..deciding to himself to take his mind off things by training.
* Ire turns to Dahok
<Ire> We need to get the monks to lead the people.
* Ire looks as Kio enters. He doesn't look quite as untrusting as he did before
<Dahok> They've lost their faith and are broken...
<Ire> Then find a way to lead them
<Dahok> And it's my fault...*looks down*
* Ire puts a hand on Dahok's shoulder
<Ire> You can unite them again, Fyro.
* Dahok looks at Ire, shocked at Ire's sudden move
* Silouette shakes her head a little
* Ire doesn't have emotion in his expression, but it's obviously the closest to being nice he's been
<kaos`> NRP: Sounds like Return of the King
<Silouette> ....have some faith in your ability.
<Terra`> .. we'll stop Janus.. just like we stopped the 5th Column..
<Dahok> ...*nods and walks off to mull it all over*
<Kio> 2Moves over to a punching bag smirking slightly. Quickly he begins to throw a silouette of jabs torward it, one after the other. Kio tries his best to ignore the pain felt in his right arm, still he feels out of place here, specially when all people know about him is his code name
* Ire watches Dahok go.
