The Duality Wars: The Alien Wars 6

Session 40

<DeathStar> Date: 6.4.5990
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar stands on the top floor, peering out the windows there to look down at the people on main street, doing their business, some casually spray painting on the cameras out there since the people on the main hub of prostitution and sex clubs not wanting to risk a confrontation with Corporations
<Seraphna> * Luci pets Fluffy.
<DeathStar> 6* Fluffy chews on something that might be a person or a ham
<kalonZombee> <Max> Adorable.
<Sara> * Chelsea, meanwhile, pets BonBon
<kalonZombee> 6*He says with honesty. He loves Fluffy.
<Seraphna> Luci> "He's a little cutie."
<SuperKoala> *Otto comes in, look thin, white, and rather ducal
<kalonZombee> <Max> Oh, hey Otto. I thought you were dead.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...huh... apparently that fluffy thing's diet is comprised primarily of jerks."
<kalonZombee> <Max> ...Still thinking that.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Been busy
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe something about douchebaggery makes the meat tastier."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar turns from the window, walking to where the others
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Otto. Where have you been?
<DeathStar> 6* Fluffy hops over to Otto, sniffing, then opens mouth
<kalonZombee> <Max> Fight club has been much more enjoyable now that a few key people are missing from it.
<kalonZombee> <Max> Fluffy no.
<kalonZombee> <Max> Otto friend. Not food.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe he's showing Otto love."
<SuperKoala> *Otto tosses up a piece of mystery meat
<DeathStar> 6* Fluffy chews and moves back to the others
<DeathStar> 6* BonBon keeps a 100 yard distance from Fluffy at all times
<kalonZombee> <Max> Good fluffinator
* Mykel is now known as Stretch
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits, and eyes the outside of Macross 15 buildings, unable to get inside layouts from anyone
<SuperKoala> *Otto sits and sniffs, fixing his hair
<SuperKoala> Otto> I'm noticing a distinct kennel smell in here.
<Stretch> 6Jelly stretches in the recliner and yawns as he wakes up nearby.
<SuperKoala> Otto> You've been collecting 'pets'
<kalonZombee> <Max> His name is Fluffinator Von Carnivsaurus Rex, thank you very much.
<Seraphna> Luci> "We missed you Otto. You'll have to regail us with your amazing tale of adventure soon."
<DeathStar> 6* BonBon growls
<Sara> * Chelsea pets Bonbon more, trying to calm her
<SuperKoala> Otto> I shot people, story over.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You mean the monster? Yeah. I was going to sell it but take it up with the others
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at Fluffy with one purple eye
<kalonZombee> 6*Max picks up Fluffy and hugs him.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Awww, Otto, there's gotta be more than that."
<DeathStar> 6* Then eyes an alert and brings up a monitor as some van has Corporate mechanics trying to attach a camera to the building. She watches, letting them for now
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So, what's the word about the extra eyes?"
<SuperKoala> *Otto looks for the logo "And drawing heat, tsk tsk"
<Seraphna> Luci> "You want maybe something falls out of a window on it later boss?" *she uses the mafioso tone*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Apparantly the Corprations are repairing the despaired cameras for some reason
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They're doing it all quads, yet the people in the slums have taken to disliking their privacy invaded
<Sara> <Chelsea> How annoying. I'm the mechanic around here. *she huffs* I did notice they've been increasing security...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They think it's due to the hiring of NetRunners and wanting to track them
<Stretch> 6Jelly groggily looks around the room at the others, 3"sumpter flat bubble butt..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I figure I'll leave and have it send false information
<Sara> <Chelsea> *blinking at Jelly* I think that's an oxymoronic statement.
<DeathStar> 6* She props her head up. "Assuming the people outside don't trash it."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> JELLY
<Seraphna> Luci> "They're really just going to keep pissing off slummers."
<DeathStar> 6* She cuts her eyes. "What the hell did you do to the beach."
<DeathStar> 6* Flashcut to Kira entering the beach and the sky being purple and the other colors all fucked up
<kalonZombee> <Max> Did Jelly just call my butt big?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Big AND flat.
<Seraphna> Luci> "I think you're flat butt."
<kalonZombee> <Max> Fair enough.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...hey, cool it."
<SuperKoala> *Otto deadpans a little
<Stretch> 6Jelly blinks and looks up for a second, a sly smile coming to his face after a moment;3 "Ticky-Tock defenestrate headset olympus adrenaline."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar keeps her head propped up, eyeing Jelly since he's been getting into everything
<Sara> <Chelsea> I think he says he threw the VR headsets out of a window?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think he needs to learn personal property.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *She points at the platform* Fix. Platform.
<Seraphna> Luci> "That or he's building some sort of online defenses."
<Sara> <Chelsea> My tools go missing sometimes to. *she notes*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That's for all of us to enjoy. If you want to play around in the Net, find a place in the hotel to make your own inside
<SuperKoala> Otto> On the home world we teach that via a few days in a pit with a ravenous fla-th'ra
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't know still if he went inside and tinkered with the coding, or messed with the platform itself. I still can't reverse it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Purple sky. How does he do it
<Seraphna> Luci> "Worst case scenario we let him jack into our enemies stations and just let him play around."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Lots of paint?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back as her terminal lights up and she begins to read it
<Stretch> 6Jelly looks to Chelsea and shakes his head, 3"Pinky whine paper yellow..."6 He'll look back to Asarar, that smile still on his face...3"Ticky-Tock einstien Bubble Butt."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Very territorial, it looks like a giant centipede with spikes on it's carapace
<SuperKoala> Otto> Ah, Asarar is the one with the 'big butt' then
<Seraphna> Luci> "Well she does have a nice ass."
<Sara> * Chelsea peers around at her own butt.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Too soft, exoskeletons are in vogue.
<kalonZombee> <Max> Too true.
<Seraphna> Luci> "It's okay Chelsea, you have a nice ass too."
<Sara> <Chelsea> You what?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar's face is slowly turning red
<Stretch> 6Jelly will pull his tail around to the front and begin stroking the fur gently, 3"Sun wankers whallop."
<Sara> * Chelsea resumes petting Bonbon, comfortingly whispering to her that she won't replace her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I am 5'4 and 100 pounds..how can I have a big ass...
<SuperKoala> *Otto lights a cigarette, a new one for him
<DeathStar> 6* she mutters to herself
<DeathStar> 6* BonBon yawns knowingly
<Seraphna> Luci> "Good genetics."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I like your ass, sweetie."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Ask Lord Moonspeak, he's the one who said it
<kalonZombee> <Max> Also implants but I doubt you'd be that kind of person
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks at BonBon's yawn but seems to find it cute
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar smiles at Kira
<SuperKoala> Otto> So, from what I've heard through my contacts, 'someone' robbed a museum.
<DeathStar> <Fluffy> Grorlwfo
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar finishes reading
<Seraphna> Luci> "Just so Mr. Fluffy."
<SuperKoala> Otto> And botched it, or got close enough to make no difference
<kalonZombee> <Max> THat's right Fluffy, we DO have no idea what he's talking about
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Seems they want us at the lowest level Macross Building, the 15th
<Seraphna> Luci> "Business or casual?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Is that what they are claiming?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll see. I have to assume business
<SuperKoala> Otto> Something along those lines.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Everyone change then."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar stands up and grabs her suit coat and slides it on
<SuperKoala> *Otto rises and pulls on his coat
<kalonZombee> 6*Max moves to go get dressed
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and grabs her gear, moving to get changed into her tactical suit and coat.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *goes to get dressed for business*
<Stretch> 6Jelly pushes himself up and out of the chair, a small smile coming to his face as he moves towards Asarar, 3"Ticky-tock wind Bubble butt?"
<Chain> 6*Wolfe flicks an ear as he hears everyone moving about to get ready
<kalonZombee> <Max> Wolfe, put on your finest suit.
<Chain> <Wolfe> hm?
<kalonZombee> <Max> You know, suit? Tie? Cumberbunds? Extremely itchy and uncomfortable in the junk?
<kalonZombee> <Max> <Seriously, it's like a vice.>
<Chain> <Wolfe> I know what it is, just curious as to why
<SuperKoala> *Otto heads down
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't understand I'm afraid
<Sara> * Chelsea goes and dresses as fancy as she can, not that it's very
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Max is fucking with you, we're going to the HQ probably for a mission
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves along. Bonnie forms and looks about
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks her weapons and tools as she moves downstairs
<Seraphna> Luci> "One of these days Max and Wolfe will go at it and wind up making out. That will be a day I remember forever. Seriously I can remember things pretty vividly."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If you want to come along, since you're Ticky Tock, you can
<Chain> 6*Wolfe audibly wretches
<DeathStar> 6* ASarar whaps Luci hard
<Seraphna> * Luci imagines her Yaoi fantasies, then sulks.
<kalonZombee> <Max> Luci, you still haven't even gotten me in a dress. There is no way in hell I'm making out with a dog.
<SuperKoala> *Otto cackles as he passes
<Stretch> 6Jelly will smile and go retrieve his Sampson, hoisting it onto his shoulder before following after Asarar.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You are on talking probation unless it is to translate Jelly
<Chain> <Wolfe> Bonnie, pick out a suit for me
<Seraphna> Luci> "But the world will be lessened without my wonderful quips. And I'll be forced to talk dirty to Max, constantly."
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie muses, then looks in his clothing stuff and picks out his normal outfit, just slightly cleaner
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Here
<Sara> * Chelsea comes out in her fanciest clothes
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar whaps Luci harder
<kalonZombee> <Max. <Wait, you don't already?>
<Jackieness> <Kira> *falls in after Asarar, wearing a coat over her working clothes along with her mirrored shades*
<SuperKoala> *Otto is practically radiating fashion
<Chain> 6*Wolfe nods appreciatively and musses up her hair as he changes
<Seraphna> * Luci pouts. "H-Hey no beating up your shield!"
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans against the elevator wall, dressed like usual. She seems to lack fashion outside her dancing club
<Stretch> 3"Bubble Butt..."6 Jelly fiddles with the readout on his data reader for a second before showing it to her...
<Seraphna> * Luci gets in, thankfully the armor helps against whaps.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I do not have a bubble ass, Jelly
<kalonZombee> 6*Max gets in
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar glances at it, eyes shining purple
<kalonZombee> <Max> <Don't worry. I'll kiss it and make it all better.>
<Seraphna> Luci> <She totally does. Nice and perky and round.>
<Chain> 6*Wolfe steps in as well, combing fingers though his hair
<Sara> * Chelsea's fashion sense isn't much better, wearing the same thing she was for the meetings when she gets in
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'd becareful with that in a Corporation. You crack that too much you will get blasted hard
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she eyes her own, wondering how her's will do8
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar muses
<SuperKoala> Otto> Asarar, I think you are supposed to ignore bullies, responding gives them satisfaction
<DeathStar> 6* She steps out on the first floor, walking along
<Chain> <Wolfe> unless youre into that sort of thing
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wonder if I should sit this one out, no matter how much I hate to
<Stretch> 6Jelly shrugs but follows after Asarar, putting himself on talking probation unless it's absolutely neccessary.
<Seraphna> <Luci> "Why you worried?"
<SuperKoala> Otto> I could wear an earpiece if you need a mouth
<DeathStar> <Asarar> My reader is cracked and always has been. I had to build my own identity.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves for the monorail to Quad 1
<SuperKoala> Otto> I'm, uhhh Jonathan Fredrickson right now
<Seraphna> Luci> *moves to get on too* "You're an employee though, they might not care. But it's your call."
<Sara> * Chelsea gets on, close to Asarar
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Depends on how much their lesser building has. Corporations are notoriously hard to break into
<kalonZombee> 6*Max moves in as well
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sits down
<Sara> * Chelsea sits
<SuperKoala> *Otto stands
<Seraphna> * Luci takes a seat, stretching a bit.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe yawns
<Jackieness> <Kira> *sits down*
<Stretch> 6Jelly will tap on Asarar's elbow, point at his data reader then at Asarar's hand before shrugging and looking at her like he's asking something.
<Seraphna> Luci> "On the plus side, we're not trying to break in, we were invited."
<Seraphna> Luci> "I think Jelly is asking if he can tweak your reader for you."
<kalonZombee> 6*Max stands, despite his grumblings about how monorails are not designed for the tall in mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar makes Max sit with a sweat of her leg
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Quit grumbling
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes Jelly, then hands her hand over
<kalonZombee> <Max> Standing is the polite thing to do. 6*He says, not moving, but still hunched over
<Chain> <Wolfe> he cant help it boss, its how his kind naturally speak
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Apparantly.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Grumbling and pick-up lines is their language?
<SuperKoala> Otto> I dont think he wants to wrinkle his suit, it has another 10 wears in it.
<kalonZombee> <Max> At least we're smart enough to speak. Aside from words like "treat? play? ballballballballball?"
<Stretch> 6Jelly rubs his hands together and smiles, putting his hand with reader beneath hers for a now, the display seeming to take a moment to synch.
<Seraphna> Luci> "ALso complimenting the shape of lovely behinds."
<Sara> * Chelsea's ears perk up at the word 'treat'
<kalonZombee> <Max> <Only for you, babe.>
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar raises her free hand at Luci
<kalonZombee> <Max> <Fantastic behind, by the way.>
<Chain> <Wolfe> dont tell us all how you and Luci spend your private time
<DeathStar> 6* To re-crack Asarar's data-reader even better, Jelly will have to face the Dreaded Opposite Game. Will the others teach him before I can put down all the letters. - since no one remembers how to get out of it anymore
<Stretch> 6Jelly's free hand will seem to weave around and trace various symbols through the display; symbol coding on the fly.
<kalonZombee> <Max> You would know, Mr. "I tore the soundproofing off the wall connecting my room to Max's"
<Chain> <Wolfe> it helps me sleep better
<kalonZombee> <Max> ...I don't even want to know.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What is with you people?"
<DeathStar> Left, Right, Down, Up. Right, Left, Up, Down
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Stretch> (rludlrdu)
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly successfully does it
<Stretch> 6Jelly loads in several symbols into the display and even draws a couple over from his own data reader before closing out the synch and pulling his hand away.
<DeathStar> 6* After bit, the group arrives at the 15th building on the Middle District, one of those not connected to the Top District
<Chain> <Wolfe> what people like listening to animals screech and bugs at night, its just my own babbling brook
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves to step in, the scanners running over them all to check their DataReaders. Their weapons are immediately flagged and buzzed, but Asarar shows her ID with her DataReader and they are waved in
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...arw you guys like listening in on Asarar and me?"
<Chain> <Wolfe> youre too quiet
<kalonZombee> 6*Max moves in
<kalonZombee> <Max> Wolfe you're like 12 kinds of fucked up, even for a dog. 6*He says quietly
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Yeah." *heads into the building*
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and walks with the others.
<Stretch> 6Jelly shrugs at the scanning, simply following after Asarar for now a small smile on his face.
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows along, lighting another cigarette, smiling a reptile smile
<Chain> <Wolfe> maybe but I get 12 kinds of the best sleep
<Sara> * Chelsea follows after Asarar
<kalonZombee> <Max> <...Are you SURE we can't spend the night in your room some nights?>
<DeathStar> 6* the people in the lobby stare them
<DeathStar> 6* As a corporate lady comes over
<DeathStar> <Corporate> You are the specialists? <Asarar> I wonder. But yes
<Seraphna> Luci> <You'd break my poor bed.>
<kalonZombee> <Max> Yes.
<Seraphna> * Luci nods.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hey guys, zip it."
<DeathStar> 6* The Corporate Lady waves them to the elevator and Asarar follows
<SuperKoala> *Otto makes sure to maintain eye contact with one person in lobby, smiling
<DeathStar> 6* Cameras are all over watching them and the lobby desk has Macross Enterprises 15 o it
<Sara> * Chelsea follows Asarar as usual
<SuperKoala> *As he follows Lady Corporate
<Jackieness> <Kira> *heads to the elevator*
<kalonZombee> 6*Max follows
<DeathStar> 6* There are real plants in the building and cheery music playing. A painting of Maxwell Terran is on the wall, along with the pinkhaired catgirl and what looks to be a girl in a blue hat that might look a bit like Ylva
<Seraphna> * Luci walks along calmly.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar studies the painting - the girl looks a lot younger though
<Stretch> 6Jelly ignores the staring, but he also keeps quiet...better to not give the people more to wonder or gossip about.
<Seraphna> * Luci peers at the last curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* She steps into the elevator
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves in
<Sara> * Chelsea meanwhile tilts her head at the pink-haired catgirl painting -- because catgirl -- before following Asarar into the elevator
<Chain> 6*Wolfe follows
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator moves upward
<Seraphna> * Luci peers around the elevator.
<SuperKoala> *Otto whistles to the muzak
<DeathStar> <Corporate Lady> We will test your abilities to see where we want you in the company - well, how high. A Lot of specialists want to be part of the Corporation, even as free lancers. If you score high we will call on you when we are under attack by rogue NetRunners based on your abilities
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open to a dark room with people are desks and computers and she leads them past them to a large empty room.
<DeathStar> <Corporate Lady> Please wait in here. There is food, coffee - real - and other stuff. We will begin the test soon
<SuperKoala> *Otto is on the coffee in a blur
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods, peering around the large empty room - the ceiling going up 100 feet and the room itself the size of a decent room for a large group
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sniffs slightly
<Seraphna> * Luci tilts her head and moves over to it as well, sniffing. "Haven't had real coffee in a while..."
<DeathStar> 6* The woman walks out and closes the door
<Stretch> 6Jelly will look about the room for any of the expected cameras
<kalonZombee> <Max> Bleh. I hate the stuff. Makes me all wired and jittery.
<DeathStar> 6* They are well hidden but no doubt there
<kalonZombee> <Max> Plus it tastes like crap.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar takes some, since they are suppose to be from the middle district and sips it without drinking
<Sara> * Chelsea moves over and tries the coffee
<SuperKoala> Otto> Thankfully I belive everyone here already thinks I am 'weird and jittery' *Otto drinks his coffee
<DeathStar> 6* It is real good - top of the line
<Seraphna> Luci> "That's why you put stuff in it."
<Sara> * Chelsea's tails and ears go straight up, not that used to coffee although it seems okay
<Seraphna> * Luci adds some cream and sugar, and sips.
<SuperKoala> *Otto pauses and spits it back into his cup
<kalonZombee> <Max> ...Wait, you can do that?
<Seraphna> Luci> "Yes."
<SuperKoala> Otto> Don't drink it
<Seraphna> * Luci pauses and spits hers out. "What is it?"
<Stretch> 6Jelly will tug on Asarar's shoulder, whispering 3"Flunky."
<Seraphna> * Luci eyes the cup now.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Touch nothing *Otto sits and crosses his knee "No corporation is going to waste that much on an interview."
<Seraphna> Luci> "THis isn't an interview, we already had that."
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sniffs again at the food to catch any scent
<Sara> <Chelsea> She's right.
<SuperKoala> Otto> Regardless, it's fucky
<Seraphna> Luci> "This is more like the placement test to see what we're doing."
<DeathStar> 6* It tastes like top of the line - shrimp, cavier or however it's spelt
<Sara> <Chelsea> It's... what?
<SuperKoala> Otto> Fucky, odd. Like me.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...so who do they want us to kill?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> Funky?
<DeathStar> 6* BonBon peeks out of Wolfe's suit, having snuck a ride
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks, eyes moving to BonBon
<SuperKoala> Otto> Feel free to drink it and have some sort of weird trick pulled on you, I'll sit that out.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly alarms go off in the room with intruders and the hear the Corporate lady's voice asking them to come back to them - that people are attacking the building
<Seraphna> * Luci sighs and sits back, "Now I can't because you have me paranoid."
<kalonZombee> <Max> Plus the alarms.
<Sara> <Chelsea> This must be the test. *she notes dryly*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I guess we're about to earn our paycheck." *stands*
<kalonZombee> 6*Max pulls out his maul.
<SuperKoala> *Otto readies his rifle quickly and moves to get to the corporate people
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar sips her coffee, moving to the door and tries to open it, but it remains sealed
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Brutes, forward
<SuperKoala> Otto> Max, maximum open
<Seraphna> Luci> "Oh damnit." *she rises and frowns* "So the lobby? Max, wanna make a door?"
<SuperKoala> *Otto backs well up
* Chain has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar steps back
<Stretch> 6Jelly will take a deep breath before glancing around to see if there's a terminal access available in the room.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to lack any such things besides the lovely fish
<Seraphna> * LUci shifts her footing, knowing the right angle to stand from Max's destruction by now.
<kalonZombee> 6*Max moves over and tries to force the door open, burning 3 points of strength to do so
<Sara> * Chelsea stays close to Asarar, always seeming like she thinks it's the safest place to be
<DeathStar> 6* The door wrenches open and they can smell acrid smell of something burning and burnt flesh
<SuperKoala> *Otto stacks up behind Max
<Seraphna> Luci> "Well... that seems a bit overboard for a test."
<kalonZombee> <Max> It's probably not a test. Well... WASN'T a test.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pulls her blade out and moves through slowly. "Watch what you say either way."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Stop saying the word test!"
<kalonZombee> 6*He picks his maul back up and moves through
<Seraphna> * LUci sighs, "Stop being so testy."
<kalonZombee> <Max> Jeez, stop being so testy"
<kalonZombee> <Max> <JINX!>
<Sara> * Chelsea just shakes her head, pulling out her daggers
<SuperKoala> *Otto flips through his scope, putting infrared on it
<Stretch> 6Jelly will simply reach up and take ahold of the straps on his backpack, a shiver running through him. 3"Flunky..."6 He stays back beside Chelsea for now.
<Seraphna> * Luci unfurls her shield and stesp forward into the room, peering around in her guard stance.
<DeathStar> 6* As they move around through the corner, the corporate lady, the people at the terminals, are all dead from blasters through the back of the head or weapons like swords or magic blasts like a Magic Blaster type like Ylva, the computers blown out - the computer HDDs taken.
<DeathStar> 6* Red lights flash still
<DeathStar> 6* Bloody footprints can be seen moving down the hall
<SuperKoala> *Otto readies his rifle as he follows them
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns. "This was a fast job... they know what they're doing, so keep your guard up."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Whoever it was, I think they were after data.
<kalonZombee> 6*Max follows the footprints, holding his maul
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves slowly along the hallway, hand on her sword as she moves to the elevator which the blood footprints stop at
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So did they go up or down
<Sara> * Chelsea moves along with Asarar delicately, daggers ready
* Chain has joined #Duality
<Seraphna> * LUci uses her Armor Transformation Lv. 2 to transform her metal plates, moving forward with Dragoon Shard Armor on. (+4 Durability)
<Sara> * Chelsea glances to see if there's an indication of the elevator's floor
<Seraphna> * Luci peers at the buttons, since elevators usually have an up or down button to queue which way a passenger plans to go.
<Stretch> 6Jelly will stop at one of the terminals, his hand coming down from the strap to reach out to the persons neck to feel for a pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator seems to be on floor 56
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be on floor 33
<Sara> <Chelsea> Up.
<DeathStar> 6* They all seem to be dead, sadly
<Seraphna> Luci> "I would say up. That should be on the bottom floor or moving if people are trying to get out."
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie pulls Wolfe to the others
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hits the up button and the elevator comes back down to them. She steps in
<SuperKoala> Otto> Wolfe, Max, scent, were smelling for the people who did this
<SuperKoala> *Otto climbs on
<Jackieness> <Kira> /kira *moves inside*
<kalonZombee> 6*Max sniffs for them
<Seraphna> * LUci gets on.
<kalonZombee> 6*Max gets on
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie pulls Wolfe inside
<Sara> * Chelsea follows Asarar
<Stretch> 6Jelly sighs before his hand comes back to the strap slowly trudging over to the elevator and stepping in.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar hits floor 56
<Sara> * Chelsea is frowning, gripping her knives tight
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Be prepared for anything
<Sara> <Chelsea> Should we even be in an elevator?
<Sara> * She asks, worried
<Seraphna> * Luci sets herself up so that she's standing in the doorway when it opens, shield raised.
<Seraphna> Luci> You've got me, portable shield battery.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Probably not but without a floor plan
<SuperKoala> *Otto is aiming around her
<DeathStar> 6* The floor plan opens and blasts come flying into the elevator, striking Luci for 1 HP damage every few seconds
<Stretch> 6Jelly will squirm his way to the back corner of the elevator.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be a fox fauna kneeling there with a repeating blaster
<SuperKoala> *Otto fires for center mass
<Seraphna> * Luci forms her Dragoon Shield with her 1 Stigmata and moves forward quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* The fox fauna is knocked off balance
<kalonZombee> 6*Max rushes out and swings his maul at them while they're off balance
<Jackieness> <Kira> *slips out of the elevator and then uses Ninpo to ninja-move behind the fauna, aiming to disarm said fauna*
<SuperKoala> *Otto checks for other targets
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps moving so the others can move in and off the elevator, being a wall, letting her shield energy take the initial damage for the first couple seconds. She keeps an eye out for more.
<DeathStar> 6* Max's maul hits them with a crunch
<DeathStar> 6* Kira manages to take their repeater and sword
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no one else, oddly
<Sara> * Chelsea moves in slowly, frowning as she looks around
<kalonZombee> 6*Max sniffs
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves out slowly, twirling her energy blade
<Seraphna> * Luci keeps her stance, peering around and keeping ready to defend people from any ambushes.
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at Asarar
<kalonZombee> 6*Going into his hybrid form for better chances
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Thanks, Captain Overkill."
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves in and kneels to examine the fauna
<DeathStar> 6* The fauna's jaw looks crunched bad
<SuperKoala> *Otto looks for tells of who it was involved with
<Seraphna> Luci> "COuld this be a dead end?"
<Stretch> 6Jelly will wait just inside the elevator, looking out through the door at the mangled fauna and at the others. He will slowly step out, but one hand staying on the door sensor to keep it open.
<kalonZombee> 6*Max keeps sniffing, a bulge in the BACK of his pants since he usually hides his tail
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be wearing a dark light armor suit with no identifying marks
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway itself continues, going left and right at the end
<DeathStar> 6* The smells of the people continue to the left
<Jackieness> <Kira> *checks the weapons she captured*
<Seraphna> Luci> "Which way?"
<SuperKoala> *Otto sighs and rises, stepping over the fauna "Lead on, oh great trailblazer"
<DeathStar> 6* they appear to be normal weapons, low grade but useful
<kalonZombee> <Max> Left.
<kalonZombee> 6*Max moves that way, holding his maul still
<Seraphna> * Luci turns to the left and heads down that way, keeping her Captain America pose up.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks onward. The people seem to have knocked over chairs and couches in the hallway, as well as potted plants
<DeathStar> 6* Luci triggers a tripwire as she walks
<DeathStar> 6* And an explosion hits her for 7 HP damage
<SuperKoala> *Otto hits the deck
<DeathStar> 6* The others are knocked back with no damage since she's shield girl
<Sara> <Chelsea> Tch, traps...
<Chain> 6*Wolfe winces
<Seraphna> * Luci burns a reflex to try and leap back, and activates Chains Linked to take 5 damage away.
<DeathStar> 6* A potted plant burns spectacularly
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises up as Luci lands back with them
<Stretch> 3"Bubble?" 6He looks back towards the elevator for a moment before letting it go and starting after them, he'll look to Luci and then the flaming plant.
<Seraphna> * Luci groans, but looks mostly unscathed, her shield and absorb tactic having taken the brunt.
<SuperKoala> *Otto rises and dusts himself off
<Chain> 6*Wolfe rises and helps Bonnie up
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers to the left - there is more knocked over stuff - a trashed set to view the Networks
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie thanks him
<Seraphna> Luci> "Walking... shield battery." *she groans and rises, armor and physical shield intact, she burns another Special to revive her Dragoon shield energy.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances at Wolfe* "How close?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "Are they thieves or a rival interior decorator?"
<Sara> * Chelsea burns a perception to look for any more traps nearby
<kalonZombee> <Max> Why not both?
<Chain> 6*Wolfe sniffs the air to check
<DeathStar> 6* There's another trip wire from the TV to the floor
<DeathStar> 6* The people are way down the hallway, through some glass doors at the end
<Sara> <Chelsea> Another trap there. *she points*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar tenses and leaps over it, rolling
<Sara> * Chelsea follows suit
<Chain> <Wolfe> theyre fown the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Then rushes to the glass doors
<Seraphna> Luci> *nods and leaps over it, landing, and rushes with Asarar*
<Sara> * Chelsea follows, in a low stance
<Chain> 6*Wolfe follows, taking care to not trip the wire
<kalonZombee> 6*Max uses Krull Lv. Max and throws his maul [5 HP damage] and rushes in, drawing his greatsword
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar looks over as MAx throws his maul at them and hits the deck
<Sara> * Chelsea ducks, though already had her head down
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Mother fuck---
<DeathStar> 6* The maul goes through the glass and into the next room
<Seraphna> * Luci ducks since she'd know it was coming.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Max would have charged also right over the trip
<SuperKoala> *Otto takes firing position and fires around the group at the baddies
<DeathStar> 6* And been blown back with 4 HP damage, blowing anyone near him back
<Seraphna> * Luci activates Me First! And takes the blow for him, taking half damage and fluying back.
<kalonZombee> 6*Max uses Tank Lv. 1 [1/2th Damage Intake, 15 Turns+]
* Jackieness` has joined #Duality
<kalonZombee> 6*Or not. Luci could tank for him.
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Jackieness`)))
<SuperKoala> *Thankfully Otto uses a gun and is well back
* Jackieness` is now known as Jackieness
<DeathStar> 6* The people inside the room are caught off guard and hit as they stand at the computers, the camera in there to watch out, and one is cleaved and falls. They are started to be shot too
* Mykel has joined #Duality
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shakes glass off her from the flying maul, and the hallway is on fire from the tripped wire
<Chain> 6*Wolfe shakes like a dog and grumbles
<SuperKoala> *Otto rapidly takes aim and fires again
<Sara> * Chelsea makes sure Asarar is okay, brushing glass off of herself and frowning. "We have to move."
<Seraphna> * Luci rises and uses Taking A Breath. (-1 Damage for 10 rounds) Then rushes after the others.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *uses the captured repeating blaster to lay down some suppression fire*
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining three people wh ohaen't been shot or cleaved duck
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar remaines ducked
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We are between our team shooting and them
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What do you suggest
<kalonZombee> <Max> Let me go in and cut 'em?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar says with Chealsea, Wolfe, and Luci
<Sara> <Chelsea> Roll.
<DeathStar> (Max is still back since he got blown back)
<Jackieness> <Kira> *stops firing once the remaining opposition has ducked down*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods and rolls into the room
<Sara> * Chelsea does the same, opposite Asarar
<SuperKoala> *Otto waits for a shot patiently
<Mykel> 6Jelly is trying to avoid any line of sight from down the hallway, looking for a terminal to access.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe rolls with Bonnie
<Seraphna> * LUci sighs and quietly starts restoring her shield a third time for another Special point.
<DeathStar> 6* Then slashes at the group as they duck, forcing them up for the shooters
<Sara> * Chelsea slashes from the other side, meanwhile
<Jackieness> <Kira> *lets Otto take these precision shots*
* Stretch has quit IRC (*.net *.split)
<kalonZombee> 6*Max rushes in and starts swinging his sword at them
<DeathStar> 6* The enemies are cut by Asarar and leap up
<SuperKoala> *Otto fires quickly
<DeathStar> 6* And aim down at her, but then are hit
<DeathStar> 6* One aims at Wolfe
<DeathStar> 6* Not about to let a big mother fucker near him
<Seraphna> * Luci waits for now since there's gunfire in either direction, she shifts and then holds out her hand, spining metal discs floating about Wolfe to negate up to three shots.
<Sara> * Chelsea slashes at that one to stop them if she can
<DeathStar> 6* By now Max would reach the remaining two
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea slashes one aiming at Wolfe, jerking his aim
<Jackieness> <Kira> *burns a stam point to restore her Ninpo*
<Chain> 6*Wolfe snarls at the one aiming at him
<kalonZombee> 6*Max uses SLASH on them [4 HP damage to two enemies, each one has chance to block, especially second. Counter Points/Action Points, etc. etc.]
<DeathStar> 6* As Max knocks them down
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That all of them?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rises
<kalonZombee> <Max> As far as I can see.
<DeathStar> 6* She breathes hard, looking pissed
<DeathStar> 6* She searches them for the HDDs to be sure
<Sara> * Chelsea looks around, spending another perception
<Seraphna> * LUci returns the discs to float about her and nods, peering around. "Might still be more around here however."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Check to see what they were trying to access."
<kalonZombee> 6*Max sniffs to make sure
<Chain> 6*Wolfe rises again and rights Bonnie
<DeathStar> 6* There is a thin trail, one left it seems has escaped into a side room. Asarar kneels and checks - it seems to be a nonsense program
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie looks dizzy
<kalonZombee> 6*Max moves for the side room
<Sara> <Chelsea> At least one still standing. Over there!
<Chain> <Wolfe> Sorry Bonnie
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows, "Do not kill him."
<Seraphna> Luci> <Knock him out.>
<kalonZombee> <Max> Fine. 6*He picks up his maul on the way
<Sara> * Chelsea follows Max, staying low and keeping her eyes peeled, more perception burn
<kalonZombee> 6*Max opens the side room
<kalonZombee> <Max> Look, give up now, I could take you on my own and I also have backup.
<Sara> * Chelsea peers inside
<DeathStar> 6* As they open the door, a hooded figure is opening the window with what looks to be wings but it is mechanical - maybe a hanglider or a jetpack of sorts, about to jump out and fly away
<Sara> <Chelsea> Wait!
<kalonZombee> 6*Max rushes and leaps on him
<Mykel> 6Jelly shrugs, no terminals it seems in this area, he will slowly follow after the others.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves over to the side room door, then uses Ninpo to move behind the remaining guy and then uses Dim Mak on the wings*
<Chain> <Wolfe> this wont end well
<DeathStar> 6* There is a terminal in the room with the figure, but then he jerks as he is jumped on
<kalonZombee> 6*Max then suplexes him
<kalonZombee> 6*Trying to knock him out
<DeathStar> 6* The wings are damaged as Max jumps on him,. The figure zooms up into the ceiling, slamming Max into him as he tries, due to the damage
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar slashes as they are in the air, going for the legs, doing 2 HP
<kalonZombee> 6*Max swings to try and ground him
<Chain> 6*Wolfe looks for any rope or cord
<Jackieness> <Kira> *takes this opportunity to close the window again*
<Sara> * Chelsea moves in close, waiting for the figure to come down, ready to pick their pockets the moment she can reach
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns and forms her Shard Blade (Lv. 1) and rolls over, quickly tryin to locate the mechanism on the man's back, if she can see it, she uses Sunder to try and destroy it without killing the guy.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure disengages the jetpack and ground, letting the jetpack spin Max around for their turn
* 1INAAMCHR has joined #Duality
* Stretch has joined #Duality
* 1INAAMCHR has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
* Stretch has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6 Right as Luci damages the jetpack and saves Max
<kalonZombee> 6*Max grabs the wings and tries to bend them to aim back into the room and on the ground
<kalonZombee> 6*Or that could happen.
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe would see some cord from an old coat
<Sara> * Chelsea goes for the pockets, getting anything the person has on them, with her Lv. Max pickpocking
<DeathStar> 6* Max's limit breaker is activated
<Seraphna> * Luci then shifts her blade and uses the flat of it to try and knock the guy out.
<Mykel> 6Jelly will stand at the door looking at the odd scene unfolding...
<Seraphna> Luci> <Hold back.>
<Chain> 6*Wolfe grabs it and uses it like a lasso to pull Max down
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea grabs all the HDDs
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe pulls Max to himself
<kalonZombee> 6*Max uses One Thousand Cuts in a nonlethal way on the guy when they're near the ground [4 HP x 5 - enemy/player gets chance to use 3 Counter Points to stop to Max's 1 Action Point each swipe]
<Sara> * Chelsea leaps back, getting out of the way
<SuperKoala> *Otto stays back, watching
<DeathStar> 6* Even if the guy had enough counterpoints, Max's Action Points would outweigh them
<DeathStar> 6* He dropsd after 20 HP damage
<kalonZombee> 6*Max picks him up
<kalonZombee> <Max> Got him.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Is he still alive?"
<SuperKoala> *Otto moves over and looks him over
<Seraphna> * Luci checks the person's vitals.
<kalonZombee> <Max> Should be. I was holding back.
<DeathStar> 6* The guy seems alive
<Seraphna> Luci> "Still breathing."
<DeathStar> 6* Corporate people move in
<Seraphna> * Luci pulls off the hood.
<kalonZombee> <Max> You all worry too much.
<DeathStar> <Corporate Officer> We will take those HDDs and this NetRunner. *they say say, moving in. The man seems to be a fauna*
<DeathStar> 6* They move in to handcuff the man and take the HDDs from Chelsea. Asarar blinks
<Sara> * Chelsea lets out a little "heh", frowning, though she doesn't seem shocked
<kalonZombee> <Max> You're welcome.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar watches them go, moving stiffly as they goi
<Mykel> 3"Wing-nut..."6He stays still in the midst of the corporate officers and everything else.
<DeathStar> 6* As they go, the area crumbles and they appear back in the room with the food
<Sara> <Chelsea> I thought as much...
<DeathStar> 6* The walls stop glowing with the Net energy
<Seraphna> * Luci tilts her head a bit. "...A simulation."
<kalonZombee> <Max> Neat.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm
<SuperKoala> Otto> Knew it was fucky
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I hate this crap..."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar chews some food as the corporate lady enters
<DeathStar> <Corporate Lady> We have marked your performance and will call upon you as needed. Thank you
<DeathStar> 6* She hands them codes and Asarar a link to be called on
<Seraphna> Luci> "How'd we do?"
<Mykel> 6Jelly just stands where he is, looking at Asarar with a blank look on his face...
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at the code she was handed
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's just head out."
<DeathStar> <Corporate Lady> You seem to not fight well together in my opinion and do a lot of damage
<DeathStar> 6* She leads them back out and Asarar sighs since that jab feels at her as she walks along
<Seraphna> * LUci sighs too and frowns since that bothers her about her bond.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes the Corporate IDs and they seem to be fairly high though
<kalonZombee> 6*Max looks at Luci and rubs her shoulder
<kalonZombee> <Max> <We totally rock together. Ignore her.>
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns a bit but stays by Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* AFterwards they exit the building and Asarar eyes their position in a building next to the HQ, the 2 Macross Building
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Odd position for such an evaluation
<Mykel> 6Jelly huffs to himself and will follow after Asarar, mumbling again to himself; 3"Flunky solo missile..."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Bruisers have value. It means we'll likely get used for missions where thye need a heavy hand."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Is 2 that close to 15?
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at Bonnie to make sure she's okay
<Chain> 6*Wolfe has Bonnie on his shoulders
<DeathStar> <Asarar> 2 is right next to their main HQ. The second Macross Corporation building
<DeathStar> <Asarar> 15 was their final building
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie waves
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks along as they head to the stairs back to the slums, walking down the hundreds of steps
<Chain> <Wolfe> Asa
<Mykel> 6Jelly walks along with them, after a while random 1's and 0's can be heard as he mumbles to himself...
<Seraphna> Luci> "So are we gonna talk about that picture of Ylva or what?"
<SuperKoala> *Otto follows
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar rubs Jelly
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *She peers at Luci*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That picture looked old. Ylva seems barely a year old. Or maybe thats what I want to belive on how she acts
<Chain> <Wolfe> I wouldnt take what happened personally, anytime youre being graded by someone elses rules, youre almost certainly bound to fail. The mark of a good group is being able to adapt as the situation demands
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Plus I didn't see ears or a tail. .. granted she's good at hiding them
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers at Wolfe, then nods slowly
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the slums, the smells of it hits them again, the darkness of it, the acidic rain
<Mykel> 6Jelly takes a breath and looks at Asarar; 3"Ticky-Tock sang Frumpy einstein...summer flunky whallop, conquer wing-nut elephant?!"
<Seraphna> Luci> "Ylva's gotta be older than that."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar nods to Jelly petting his ears and Chelsea's and climbs up the monorail
<Chain> 6*Wolfe slides Bonnie down and hides her protectively in his coat
<Sara> <Chelsea> I wonder if she was always a fauna. All those experiments people are doing with fauna and biotects...
<Sara> * She frowns
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That looked like a human kid, but maybe you're right and it was a fauna kid, taken in the one year they are little. *She peers at chelsea, peering at her gloved hand*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Who knows
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans back
<DeathStar> <Asarar> For know
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Mykel> 6Jelly seems to shudder and his eyes roll up a slight bit as he leans against Asarar at the ear rubbings.
<DeathStar> 6* Back at the hotel, Asarar cuts the camera off the hotel when it's not facing them
<DeathStar> 6* Walking in she collapses at the bar and orders a drink
<Sara> * Chelsea plops down on the chair next to Asarar and rests her head on the bar, letting out a small sigh
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pats Chelsea as she drinks
<Chain> 6*Wolfe looks down at Bonnie
<Sara> * Chelsea smiles just a bit, leaning into it
<Chain> <Wolfe> go get washed up and into your pajamas
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie jerks, then walks off, mumbling about an ancient being - being treated like a girl
<Chain> <Wolfe> keep it up and no treats
<Mykel> 6Jelly will come over and tug at Asarar's elbow on the opposite side from Chelsea; 3"bubble butt...Ticky-Tock funny corkboard." 6He'll point up.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pets Jelly
<Sara> * Chelsea subtly makes a jealous face before going back to resting her head
<DeathStar> 6* Then ruffles Chelsea's fur and pets her too, shaking her head at the two, using a straw too drink
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie moves to do so
<DeathStar> <Barry> Very good
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar muses as she pets and drinks on Macross and Ylva, the connection
<DeathStar> -END-
