<Ire> Session 76: A Deadly Battle
<Ire> Time Chart: September 6th, 1 day after last session
<Ire> Location: Altros
* Stark sits in the pilot seat, reading the manual.
* Ire sits in the captain's chair of Altros, the flying battleship. It's current location is somewhere over South America.
* Ayn lays on the floor, looking up at the ceiling.
* Icebrand sits at the weapon console - asleep
<Stark> Bobo: *stands on the bridge, doing some kind of dance*
<Ire> GM: *Altros is 3 levels. First floor is the bridge, the hatch to the roof, and a huge lobby area with a window to look out. Floor 2 is the dorms, facilities to shower/bathe/poop, and Floor 3 is the hanger*
* Ayn would so be at the bridge.
* Dahok is on the first floor of the battleship, standing infront of a huge window looking at the barren planet as they fly over it*
<Icebrand> *opens an eye* <Hey Stark, you done with that yet?>
<Ire> GM: *Altros, for the past few hours, has shown a steady power decline*
<Stark> Almost. I'm reading on how it is intended to resupply the ship.
<Stark> Which... we will need to soon, appearantly.
<Icebrand> <Fair enough.> *goes back to dozing*
<Ire> What do you mean? Altros shouldn't be running out of power this fast.
* Ayn opens her eyes, and sits up. She leans casually against the wall.
<Dahok> Back to my home city. Damned Bad luck..
<Stark> Perhaps they didn't have the ship fully equipped... we did take it fairly impromptu.
<Ire> ...it is possible. Bring up a reading on how fast we're losing power.
<Stark> You have the command helm, Warren.
* Stark looks over his shoulder from the pilot seat.
<Ire> ...I keep forgetting. *hits a few buttons, a power reading chart appearing in the room*
<Ire> GM: *the readings indicate they will be forced to land within the hour*
<Stark> It would seem... we're missing some parts.
<Ire> Missing some parts?
* Stark points out the red highlighted areas.
<Ayn> Great, so we get another shuttle, and go back. We need to get Pope.
<Ire> We can't afford to go back for Pope.
<Stark> Ayn, that's an impossibility.
<Ire> And a shuttle would never reach Mega City.
<Stark> Seems Roberts never intended this for use across sectors.
<Ayn> Fine, then when we land, I'll go get him. I know some people who do reconstructive surgery.
<Ire> That or Roberts was fooled.
<Stark> When we left Mega City, the parts made from the simulation's materials vanished.
<Ire> ... Cheap bastards.
<Ire> GM: *up ahead, the barrier for the Rainforest Zone becomes apparant. However, Altros shudders, needing to come down now*
<Ire> ...We're going to have to land in the sand before we enter the Rainforest. The last thing we need to do is crashland blindly into trees.
<Dahok> Lupis: *trots up beside Dahok and rubs up against his thigh*
<Dahok> Hey girl...
* Ayn looks up, a worried look on her face
<Ire> Stark, can you bring us down?
<Stark> I can try.
* Dahok rubs Lupis on her head, Lupis panting in response
* Stark takes control, attempting to land just outside of the Rainforest Zone.
<Ire> GM: *Altros skims along the sand of the ruined Earth. It comes to a halt.*
* Stark stands and climbs up out of the ship onto the top of the Altros.
* Ire follows Stark and climbs up the hatch, standing on top of the towering Altros. He looks around as a dry wind blows across their faces.
* Stark jogs over to the other side of the ship, looking down at the gaps.
<Dahok> Time to go home girl...*turns and makes his way to the nearest hatch*
<Ire> ...we'll have to find some materials to replace Altros in the Rainforest.
* Ayn stands, and mutters, "Eich bein ein auslander...." She follows Ire, coming out on the top of the ship. She smiles as the wind hits her, "...I lived this...."
* Stark looks at Ire.
* Icebrand blinks, realizing everyone's gone, and scrambles up and out
<Ire> Yeah, I know, the tree lovers don't keep much mechanical devices.
* Dahok pops out onto the roof, shutting the hatch he used behind him
<Stark> A cursory evaluation shows the only options we have are to try and move the Altros into the simulation, and hope the parts materialize.... or have a machine shop replace the parts.
<Stark> Either of which are outlandish.
<Icebrand> Note to self, shoot Dahok in the face. *opens the hatch and jumps out*
<Ire> We'll see. For now we'll leave Altros here.
<Ire> We'll have to journey into the Rainforest on foot.
<Stark> There are cities within the zone, however we'll have to trek through the forest, if I'm correct.
<Icebrand> <Nothing we can't handle.>
<Ire> GM: *in the distance, a dot appears*
* Ayn nods to Stark and Ire, and then glances to IB, "Just be on guard."
<Dahok> There's small villages Stark...but most of it all lies in the center..
<Ire> A trip through the forest won't kill us.
<Stark> It would seem we weren't the only once making a trek across the wasteland.
* Ire glances at the dot.
* Dahok laughs at Ire's comment
* Stark focuses on the dot.
<Ire> GM: *it draws closer. It's seems to be the shape of a man*
* Ayn looks to the dot and squints to see who it is."
* Icebrand glances at the dot
<Icebrand> <Hrm. Here comes the welcome wagon.>
<Ire> ...it's coming from the direction wel eft in.
<Dahok> Could it be Roberts?
<Ire> ...Roberts is dead.
<Icebrand> <If it is, he can't be human. We blew his face off, if I remember correctly.>
* Ayn whispers, "please let it be Pope...."
<Dahok> Pope wouldn't be able to trek through the wastelands by himself.
<Ire> Pope can't fly, for one thing.
<Stark> Ultimately it doesn't matter who it is. If it's hostile we will have to defend ourselves.
<Ire> GM: *the figure of a humanoid gets closer*
* Ayn has a sinking feeling, "....Jr."
* Dahok tries to use his enhanced senses to see who it is
<Icebrand> <If we shoot it now, we won't have to worry whether it's hostile or not.> *rests a hand on his gun*
<Ire> GM: *the figure is someone they never met before, according to Dahok's senses. It's part man..and machine*
<Dahok> ....Unless this Jr is part man and machine...
<Dahok> Lupis: *begins growling, her fur standing up*
<Ire> GM: *the man zooms faster, stopping overhead. His long brown hair dangles down his armor, which is a bright red*
*** Cyborg has joined #taw
* Cyborg hovers, looking down.
* Cyborg works it's metallic arm, which is obviously not organic anymore.
<Icebrand> <...Can we help you?>
<Ayn> ...or not....
<Dahok> *tilts his head up* You must be powerful to make it through the wastelands...
<Stark> Or just fast.
<Cyborg> ...You are the bunch who escaped with Altros?
* Cyborg lands on top of it.
<Dahok> It's not all about speed Stark...
<Dahok> Possibly..
<Stark> I suppose you would know, Dahok. *studies the cyborg*
* Ayn eyes Ire, and then rests her hand near her waist.
* Ire grabs his handguns, eyeing the Cyborg.
<Cyborg> I am Cyborg #01, sent here by Mega City. I was designed by Janus Corporation for hunting and destroying.
<Stark> #01? Of how many?
* Cyborg laughs
<Cyborg> I am the only one needed.
<Cyborg> I've never failed to eliminate a target.
<Icebrand> <They always are...> *sighs* <Can't it be easy just once?>
<Ire> ...a bit cocky.
* Dahok tilts his head to the side, cracking it
<Cyborg> And you are my targets.
<Stark> Arrogant for a machine. *holds his staff out*
<Ayn> ...oh great. First Janus, then MegaCity... Or wait, first the fucking Tsivs, then Janus.... and well.... Senreich....
* Cyborg pops his knuckles.
<Cyborg> Surrender now.
<Cyborg> Though I would be sorely disappointed.
<Ire> ...Like hell.
<Stark> I don't see how you expect us to. It will be difficult to bring us all back to Mega City.
<Dahok> I don't think he planned on letting us live..
<Cyborg> A good point. Your heads will have to do for a return trip.
* Ire spins his handguns.
* Ayn shrugs, "Besides Cheire don't surrender. No, we get fucking blown up and shit." She pulls her magnum out.
<Icebrand> <They seem to be fans of explosions anyway...>
<Cyborg> I will be kind. You may take your first shot.
<Dahok> Lupis: *bears her teeth at the Cyborg*

* Dahok kicks backwards at the Cyborg
<Cyborg> This is a sad display.
<Stark> ... My glasses.

<Cyborg> GM: *the blast falls short, hitting the sand and sending sand flying at Ayn and Ire*

* Ayn falls onto Ire to protect him
<Cyborg> NRP: It hit.

<Cyborg> !

<Cyborg> I was going to take it easy on you
* Stark furrows his brow, studying the Cyborg.
<Cyborg> ...but now, you will see the full depth of my power.
<Stark> This will get nasty.
* Ayn sighs, "..... oh great...."
* Cyborg sparkles with electricity.
<Ire> ...
* Ire grimaces, looking at Pope
<Pope> Big talk from a walkin' trash compactor.
<Ire> Good to see you again. Bad timing, though
* Ayn leaps up onto the shuttle, and fires at Cyborg again.
<Pope> Ain't it always?
<Icebrand> <Ever wonder why they don't use the "full depth of their power" at the very begining of the fight?>
<Cyborg> NRP: Altros is not a shuttle. It's a battleship
<Ayn> NRP: gotta love Ayn's love of the battle :P

* Ire looks around, as if he thinks the Cyborg is nearby.
* Dahok` sways backwards and lands on his ass
<Icebrand> *to Ire* <I thought she was in love with you.>
* Ire ignores IB, looking around.
* Dahok` breathes heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead
* Junior looks at Ire.
* Icebrand shrugs
<Junior> Long range teleport, you saw the red after-image, right? That's the 'red shift' He went pretty far.
* Ayn looks to Jr, "....Thank you for helping him."
<Ire> ...I suppose you're right.
<Ire> Do you think he was really the only Cyborg made?
<Junior> I don't know, I wasn't here from the beginnning.
<Ire> True
* Ire sits down, holding his arm.
<Ire> So, McCabe is sending our assassins for us.
<Pope> If he wasn't, why only send one overgrown vibrator to take us down?
* Junior pulls off his jacket, sweating.
<Junior> Damn it's hot.
<Stark> May I suggest we head into the forests incase there are more cyborgs coming?
<Ayn> Becuase that was a powerful vibrator. She looks to Jr, "I like it...."
<Ire> Alright, everyone,.
<Ire> Grab food rations and water from Altros.
<Ire> We're going to make a move for the jungle.
* Junior looks at Ayn "Eh?" then looks to Stark "Shades has a good idea."
<Pope> Like the forest'll cover us that much? If those blokes are cuttin' tech, they'll track us down in there easily.
<Dahok`> It won't be easy Pope..
<Dahok`> I know my way around these parts very well...
<Junior> It's easier to hide in the jungle than you think, Pope.
<Ire> We need to go there anyway.
<Ire> Altros is powerless for now.
<Ayn> Nothing worth it ever is....
* Junior looks at the Altros.
<Dahok`> Does this thing have cloak? Cuz we need to hide it.
<Junior> I'd help you, but my ship doesn't use Earth-tech.
* Ayn shrugs, "When it rains."
* Ayn sheathes her weapons and looks towards the forest.
<Pope> ...I hate the woods.
* Ire goes down the hatch into Altros.
*** Icebrand has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Dahok`> This thing'll be too easy to find...
<Junior> If it's immobilized like you say, I don't think you need to worry about hiding it.
* Ayn pats Pope on the back, "you and me both."
<Dahok`> Welcome to the jungle baby...
<Junior> The only people that would find it are your pusuers, I mean.. how often did any of you leave your sector before today?
* Ire moves around inside it, grabbing various packs of food and water.
* Pope points at Dahok. "Don't finish that setence, mate."
<Ayn> I moved all around this planet Jr. I had to.
* Dahok` slides down the side of the Battleship
<Stark> Actually, the ship does have a cloak, I don't know if it's still functional or not though.
<Dahok`> *pulls his shoes off and throws them to the side*
<Stark> I'll attempt it. *jumps up onto the ship and goes down*
<Dahok`> *then slips his socks off* Ahhh.....The lovely feel of the warm earth..
* Ire enters the bridge, powering down certain systems so they cannot be detected.
* Ayn isn't wearing shoes.
* Junior looks at them all. "How again did you all make it this far?"
* Ayn looks to Dahok, and actually smiles to him, "....that's why I never wear shoes. I like to feel the planet I've connected to."
<Stark> NRP: <everyone> All thanks to Stark!
* Ayn looks to Jr, "I thought I was going to die months ago."
* Junior quirks his brow at Ayn
<Junior> Odd girl...
* Ire looks at Stark as he enters the bridge.
<Ire> Harlequin.
<Stark> Carmichael.
* Ayn smiles to Jr, that typical grin she has when she's proud at astounding someone.
<Dahok`> Hopefully a storm doesn't pick up...
* Stark tacks at the command helm, trying to activate the cloak.
* Junior seems hardly astounded.
<Ire> GM: *he succeeds. Altros wavers, then vanishes*
* Dahok` looks back
<Dahok`> Good it did have one...That keeps the ship safer..
* Junior looks at Altros "Well, Shades was right, and tank got his wish."
* Dahok` looks over at Jr
<Dahok`> ...What wish..
<Junior> To hide the ship, what, did you forget?
<Ire> Lets go, Stark
<Dahok`> I didn't wish that..
* Stark nods.
<Stark> After you.
* Ire climbs up the ladder and on top of the Altros. It's odd, seeing him stand on nothing.
* Junior heads off into the forest.
* Ayn sighs, and finds herself standing next to Pope.
<Ire> GM: *As soon as Junior passes the barrier, he's thick in the jungle already*
* Dahok` waits for Ire to drop down next to him
<Ire> Don't forget where we parked
<Junior> Oh yeah, this is good.
* Ire hops down.
* Pope doesn't eve nglance at her.
<Pope> We'd better get goin'.
<Dahok`> Ire...*waves him over*
* Ire steps over to Dahok
<Ire> Yes?
* Ayn silently turns and walks after Jr, ignoring Pope. She mutters, "If that's the game...."
* Pope turns and follows the others off
*** Sherinmir has joined #taw
* Stark enters the sector, as well.
<Stark> Bobo: *sings* Boh boh boh booooo boh. *trots after them*
*** Sherinmir is now known as Icebrand
<Ire> GM: *as they all pass barrier, they are in the middle of the Amazon Forest*
* Pope takes his jacket off, starting to sweat his ass off
* Ire walks after the others.
<Dahok`> I might be able to get us a place to stay when we reach the city..
<Ire> Sounds good.
* Dahok` walks alongside Ire
<Icebrand> <Should've dressed lighter, guys.> *snickers*
<Pope> Brits don't belong in the jungle.
<Dahok`> Key word is might....Depends on how my reception is..
* Ire steps through the barrier.
* Dahok` steps through the barrier
<Ire> Voice: ROUND 2!
* Ayn seems not bothered by the heat. She sighs, "....no."
<Ire> GM: *trees suddenly explode and fall towards the team*
* Dahok` takes a deep breath of the air aroudn him
*** Cyborg has joined #taw
* Icebrand shields himself
<Icebrand> <Guess whoooo...>
* Cyborg flies through the trees, firing. He's repaired.
<Junior> Him again?!
<Pope> Gee, a cyborg in the jungle, who called that? *raises his hand* Oh, none o' the rest of ya?
<Ayn> ....I'm so over this.
* Ire grabs his handguns.
<Ire> Watch out.
* Cyborg blows up more trees to fall at the gruop.
* Pope rolls to the side
* Ire dives out of the way.
* Ayn falls backwards, pulling her gun out
* Junior jumps off trees, rebounding untill he can land on the cyborg
* Cyborg is landed on. He flies upside down.
* Ayn fires at the cyborg.
* Junior hammer blows the Cyborg
* Cyborg spins Junior towards Ayn's shots.
<Cyborg> ARGH!
* Icebrand shapechanges into cheetah form and leaps to the trees
* Ire fires at Cyborg, trying to nail him.
* Junior falls, out of the way of her blasts.
* Dahok` lets the trees fall around him
* Stark runs ahead, holding his staff at the ready.
<Cyborg> I am immortal!
* Pope kneels by some fallen trees, thinking
* Ire backflips near Pope.
<Icebrand> <I guess we'll just have to make sure we finish the job this time, then.>
* Ayn runs after Stark, to his side, firing at cyborg.
* Icebrand fires, hidden in the trees that are still standing
* Cyborg flies around trees.
<Cyborg> Ha ha ha ha ha.
<Junior> This is going to get annoying, I can tell..
* Dahok` tries to reach out to the trees but fails
<Pope> Got an idea. Get ready to pounce on my signal.
<Ire> Alright.
* Ire nods.
<Icebrand> <Gotcha.>
* Junior ignights his sabre, slicing down trees, trying to get one to hit the Cyborg.
* Pope scoops up a handful of dirt and mud
* Cyborg fires a flamethrower at the trees, setting them on fire.
* Ayn stops, and glances with a nod to Pope.
* Icebrand draws his halberd and ignites it
<Dahok`> NO!
<Cyborg> Burn! Buuuuuurn!
* Icebrand dives back to the ground
<Icebrand> <Ok, staying in the trees is a bad idea.> *lands near Ire*
* Pope flings it at Cyborg, particularly his face
<Dahok`> LEAVE THE FOREST ALNE!
* Cyborg is hit.
* Stark throws a voodoo doll at the Cyborg
<Cyborg> MY FACE.
<Pope> BLOW THE BASTARD OUTTA THE SKY
* Cyborg is hit by the exploding doll.
* Ire fires at Cyborg.
* Ayn fires at cyborg.
* Dahok` runs forward and leaps onto a tree, grabbing onto it and rebounds off it, ramming into Cyborg
* Icebrand swings a charged blast from the halberd at Cyborg.
* Cyborg is rammed out of the way of IB's attack.
<Cyborg> ...you...almost....had...me
<Cyborg> I'll be back...another...day
* Cyborg teleports.
*** Cyborg has left #taw
* Ayn sighs as he teleports
* Dahok` rams into the ground and turns to the trees
<Icebrand> <Way to go, Dahok.>
<Junior> Meaning later today, I bet..
<Ayn> of course.
* Dahok` reaches his hands out and tries to take control of them
* Icebrand puts his halberd back in its sheath and dusts his hands off
<Icebrand> <I give him half an hour.>
<Ire> GM: *the trees continue to burn*
<Pope> That ain't good.
* Pope lights up a cig
* Dahok` runs upto some of the trees and begins shaking them, in an attempt to send the water ontop of the leaves down onto the fire
<Junior> It is a rainforest, the moisture in the air should stop it from spreading.
<Ire> GM: *Dahok slowly, but surely, begins to succeed*
* Pope looks at Jr.
* Ayn looks to Jr.
<Dahok`> Every tree that dies is a tragedy in it's own...*quickly moves from tree to tree shaking each one*
<Pope> Ya realize they sued to mass burn these places for farmland, right?
<Pope> *used
<Icebrand> <...Tree hugger.>
<Junior> Sorry, I'm not from here.
* Junior glances at IB
<Ire> GM: *Dahok is succeeding better now. Can he do it?!*
<Junior> Hey, respect his beliefs. I'm sure you wouldn't want him insulting you for yours.
* Dahok` leaps to another tree and begins to rock it backl and forth
<Ayn> He insults our's.
<Ire> GM: *Yes, the fires are dying. The trees are almost saved*
* Junior looks at Ayn.
<Icebrand> <But... yeah, what she she.
* Ire watches Dahok, a look of admiration on his face.
<Icebrand> <But... yeah, what she said.>
<Junior> I was taught from a young age, 'do unto others.'
* Stark nods.
<Icebrand> <Tell him that.>
* Dahok` leaps across to a branch and pulls down on it, it dumping some water down
* Ayn smiles, "So was it...."
<Ire> GM: *the forest is saved*
* Dahok` drops to the ground, his feet digging into the soft wet dirt
<Pope> The boy's a firefighter, fancy that.
<Ayn> I think makes a good one.
<Ire> ...we'll take a moment to rest, then we need to keep moving.
<Ire> You all have five minutes
<Stark> NRP: <Dahok> Only you can prevent fore-aaaahhhhh!!!! *gets mauled by a bear*
<Icebrand> <I'll be damned. He is good for something other than drawing fire.>
<Ire> NRP: LOL
* Ire leans against a tree, resting
* Ayn nods, and then sits down on the musty soil. She closes her eyes.
*** Kim[AWAY] has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
*** Kim[AWAY[ has joined #taw
* Junior stands there.
* Dahok` begins crawling up a thick tree, disappearing in the lower canopy
* Pope scratches his face. "Right, so we're in the jungle (bloody godawful place), now what?"
<Ire> ...we'll trek through it until we reach the city.
<Icebrand> <And pray we're not reached first. Again.>
<Dahok`> *comes dropping down hanging onto a vine and swings around*
* Ire looks around.
<Dahok`> *SNAP* Ahh shit...*falls and lands on the soft dirt*
<Ire> At least we'll have each other's company non-stop for the next few days
* Ire sounds utterly sarcastic.
* Ayn laughs softly.
<Pope> ...Fuckin' beautiful.
<Ayn> just what I fucking needed.
* Stark sits.
<Dahok`> Theres a small village we can stop by about 10 miles due southwest..
* Junior looks at them all.
* Pope looks at Ayn. "What YOU fuckin' needed?"
* Junior sighs and puts his hand to his forehead.
* Ire walks up to Junior.
<Dahok`> ....*pops up and leaps onto a tree, scaling up it quickly*
<Ire> Thank you for the assist. But you might want to leave now, before things get uglier.
* Icebrand chews on an unsheathed claw
* Junior looks at Ire.
* Ayn scowls to Pope, "At least I fucking told you. I was honest. I could have no told you, and you wouldn't even fucking know."
<Junior> Hey, I do what I can for the home team.
* Ire nods, holding out his hand.
<Ire> Welcome aboard.
<Ayn> I thought maybe you'd fucking understand. I wasn't in control, you know what that's like.
* Junior shakes it, looking Ire in the eye.
<Pope> I probably would've been fuckin'; better off not knowin'! The minute my back's turned you go off an' roger the first sorry slob that comes along!
<Icebrand> *glances at Ire* <We'd better get moving before Ayn and Pope tear each others' heads off.>
<Pope> Not 'in control'? Like bloody 'ell!
* Dahok` comes sliding down a tree near Ire
<Icebrand> *to Ire*
<Pope> That's a convient excuse, now ain't it? 'Not in control' my arse!
* Ire looks Junior right back, then turns to the fight
<Ire> No, they need to get it out of their systems
* Junior looks at them.
* Ayn stands to Pope, "It was a bloody spell. Everyone but Ire fucking had sex!" She waves her hands around, "I was honest, and this is what I get? I pegged you wrong."
<Icebrand> *to all but the dueling couple* <Be ready to pull them apart, though. With Ayn in the fight, things are liable to start exploding.>
<Junior> The XO on my ship always tells me I need to get out more, I think this is as 'out' as I'm going to get. *looks at Ire with a stale look*
<Junior> *stale expression, even.
<Ire> I don't think your XO counted for this team.
<Dahok`> I didn't have sex!
<Ayn> NRP: I have to go....
<Junior> I'm using my leave for this. *laughs slightly*
* Ayn sighs, and just walks off into the forest.
* Icebrand glances at Dahok for the random comment, and unable to think of anything to say, just shakes his head
<Ire> ...well, the trek is back on. Lets go.
<Ire> Session Ends
* Pope points his finger in Ire's direction, but doesn't look at him. "Yeah? Everybody BUT him? What made him so special, eh? Please, you've fought off mind control before, luv, what was so bloody hard 'bout it this time, eh?!"
<Dahok`> She's likely to get hurt...
<Ire> NRP: Ignore by SE. Pope's line was too great.
