The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Tajuh, 2nd Lt. Coulange

[color=0E59E4]

"Spells will be a bit harder to cast... Got it."

[/color]

After the calibrations were done, and Oto-hime's arms were lowered again, the Cleric noticed that she had another message from Rugal,

Sure, where are you and what needs going over?

With a smile, she typed up,

[color=0E59E4]In the Hangar of the Hagane, going over basic schematics for Oto-Hime (the mech) with a 2nd Lieutenant Coulange. I'm pretty sure we're almost done, but I'll need to double check that. As far as spells go, I've found out that they've modded her to where I can cast out there. However, they said it'll be a bit harder to do than on solid ground. So, I was wondering if you'd be able to determine what'd be the most combat effective; what with, you know, doing this sort of thing for a while.[/color]

After sending the message, true to her word, she called out to the 2nd Lieutenant, [color=0E59E4]

"Is there anything else that needs to be done to Oto-Hime, sir?"

[/color]

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

[color=15650D]"Alrighty, Mr. Krillin!"[/color]

With a cheerful wave of the lantern, the little creature followed after Krillin as fast as his little legs could carry him, soothing Krillin's fears, if only a little. If anything, the short man couldn't sense any inherit malice in the Tonberry.

Cadolbolg gave a small yawn before settling himself on Caim's shoulders, finally falling asleep; to which the mute gave an adoring grin and scratched the little turtle with a free hand. As they continued walking, Angelus spoke, "Isn't it glaringly obvious? She did so for your own well-being. If this place she is descending into is truly as terrible as you say, then would you not do the same if prompted in a similar situation?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Teri, Rugal

Understood, en route

Rugal hit send before stepping out of the Hagane, taking a deep breath as he was reminded of where he was.
After getting directions, he made his way towards her location, still uneasy about the whole idea of the incoming battle.

He soon arrived, albeit a bit more pale then usual as he approached the Cleric and those around her.
"Good evening, got your message, sorry I was late...had a..."Run in" with someone I didn't expect. So tell me, what can you use in this Mech?...I take it these are Hagane Mechs? Doesn't seem like the Striders Style...." He asked as he examined the Oto-Hime.

 

[bluecrimson]

Jenny, Blade

The Ensign looked at Jenny with a bit of relief, especially since it allowed him some space from Akane and co. [color=8a4304]"Ensign's more of my rank than my name, but if you really want to know, my first name's Touya. It's nice to meet you, ummm..."[/color]

Kazuya

Slindis began going through the motions of some of her punches while Lupito did his practice by ripping and tearing at some off the dummies in there. [color=c20000]"Call it what you will, but I've been working with what's been given to me. I know it's not been the ideal solution, but when you consider what we've had to work with and what's been thrown on our plates, I'd like to think we've done a decent job. Unless you expect us to be able to save every single person on this planet. Honestly, do you think I like how New York City turned out? Do you think I liked what happened in that temple? Do you think I enjoy what happened in DC? I don't know what you think I am, but I'm no goddess. Khyber, I'm not even the best person!"[/color]

Hiryu

Melethia chimed in. "I just remember seein' a guy like that right before I went on the Banshee again, an' I was just curious. Really nice guy, an' he gave me a few of the bags here. Call it what ya will, but I think ya can trust him! If you're really worried, I'll try to see if I can help ya with keepin' an eye on 'em." The young elf smiled, trying to instill some confidence in the man.

Teri, Garm, Sadei, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Coulange called up. "Main thing now is working out how you're going to fly out there, but that can wait until later. Would you be opposed to a nice dinner, my little cleric?"

The second Lieutenant had heard the other man, but he wasn't quite familiar with who the man was...

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

Krillin was still a bit worried about Little Green (Ton-Ton) mainly because even the tiny things here were stronger than he was, but he got the group to the ship soon enough. [color=f88c2c]"Here we are, guys. The Hagane.Probably the only place here where we'll be safe!"[/color]

Devon looked at Angelus. "I know, but you don't understand how bad the place she going is. It's where I got my training, and believe me, it's not exactly the kind of place where you'd set up a summer home. Heck, if I were in the same situation, I wouldn't go in alone, because that's just crazy!" He was getting a bit worked up, but it was clearly out of the concern that he felt for Ella.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny, Blade

"Jenny. And this is Blade." Jenny answered, giving them a formal introduction.
"Just what about the "Date" part? That part of your rank as well, Touya?" He asked as he leaned back in his chair a little, getting more comfortable.

Kazuya

Having said his piece, Kazuya was uncaring of what Slin's thoughts on the matter were, at the end of the day, all he was going to do was make sure Rugal didn't hatch some scheme to use this conflict to become a God or something, like he usually did.
It was then he glanced over and saw her motions and couldn't help but watch.
[color=9f2b68]Real Natural Talent, rough around the edges, but it can be sharpened...[/color] He thought before he added [color=9f2b68]"Seeing how you are staying, do you wish to spar? You said yourself, 5 Minutes with Rugal was all it to took to get you this far. What's 5 against me?"[/color]


Hiryu

"You would do that?...Mmmmm..." Hiyru poundered, while this wasn't a big deal for Melethia, the Striders could learn a lot from whatever Gilliam had on the space station, a Mole of such.
"...You know what? I'd like that, help ease the tension by ensuring that the Hagane has no intention of pushing us out of our home like everyone thinks it will."

Teri, Garm, Sadei, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Coulange called up. "Main thing now is working out how you're going to fly out there, but that can wait until later. Would you be opposed to a nice dinner, my little cleric?"

Rugal Perked up at Coulange's offer and flatly stated "That would be a Yes, Lieutenant..."Coulange".", Reading his name tag out loud as he towered over the Second Lieutenant.
"She, along with myself, would be rather opposed to that arrangement..." He calmly said, letting his huge frame do all the intimidation as he tightened his gloves to add to his posing as the Nightmare Father that every would-be ladies man feared.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, 2nd Lt. Coulange

When Teri heard the call for dinner, she was about to 'shout' back that she wasn't hungry... That was, until she heard Rugal's little bit of intimidation. With a light sigh, she took the lift down from the cockpit, Garm in tow, and did her best to suppress a smile. Even if Coulange was a nice enough fellow, Teri had to admit it was a little funny to see her 'Dad' tower over the officer; especially after being called 'my little cleric' one too many times. What was the deal with that anyways? Giving Coulange a sympathetic nod, she 'said', [color=0E59E4]

"Apologies, Lieutenant, but I had already made arrangements for the time after this orientation was through. However, you're more than welcome to go grab dinner yourself. I wasn't really hungry anyways."

[/color]

Garm, on the other hand, continued his routine of pushing himself between the Lieutenant and his Pup. Even if the Senior Caretaker (Rugal) was near, he did not like this human's attitude towards his Pup. Of course, seeing this only further cemented Rugal's suspicions, especially when Lupito was keen to do the same to him.

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

As they approached the Hagane, Ton Ton gave Krillin a happy jiggle of the lantern, [color=15650D]"Thank you, Mister Krillin. It is good to know we'll be under safeguard here. Even if I am able to handle myself in combat, constant infighting is never fun to deal with..."[/color]

As the Tonberry warmed up to Krillin, Caim gave a sympathetic pat on Devon's shoulder, and continued,

"It is good to worry, Bard, but ask yourself this. Do you trust her? Her capabilities? If so, then you needn't worry. If not... Then you need to go after her. Otherwise, unless the two of you have set up a means of communicating with one another, then there's nothing you can do."

Angelus nodded, and made sure to watch her step as they entered the Hagane, "I do not know much about this woman, save that she was foolish enough to spar with Caim, [small]among other things,[/small] and actually managed to handle herself for a time. I think that is credit unto itself."

 

[bluecrimson]

Jenny, Blade, Engisn Touya Date

He pulled up a seat for the Gardevoir as well before pouring two glasses of soda for the couple, managing to ignore the playful teasing of Akane and Gabrielle for a moment. [color=8a4304]"It's actually my last name, kind of like how you two have your own individual names. It comes from my family line, but it's not that impressive... Any idea of what everyone else on your guy's side is gonna do once that fight starts?"[/color]

Kazuya

Slindis looked the man over, getting the feeling that he was a fairly dangerous opponent: just the kind of person that would be well-suited for this type of thing. [color=c20000]"I think we could both learn a good deal from that kind of sparring. I'm more than willing to do this, but we both have to agree on a limit here. I've already let Lupito know to intervene should either of us be ready to fall, and I promise you that should you submit, I will tend to your injuries. Can you agree to these terms?"[/color]

Lupito let a low growl issue forth, not comfortable with the Alpha's way of fighting and showing Kazuya that if he went for the kill on his master, Kazuya would likely regret it.


Hiryu, Melethia

She nodded. "Okay, Mister Hiryu, but I'm only gonna tell ya about what's goin' on there. Just cause you're a nice guy doesn't mean I want everybody knowin' what's on a ship. Besides, I saw some of those other guys earlier. They sound like real stuffy-headed jerks, an' they'd just attack when they could get the chance. I mean, we're all here ta beat the everlovin' hell outta those kinslayers, so why do both sides gotta act like the other's out ta kill em?" Now that she'd had some time, she had become accustomed to the ship. Of particular note to Hiryu was the very real possibility that each of the bags around the girl's hip had the telltale signs of Hammerspace in their extremely sturdy design, and it was someting that no child would normally have, even if they were on the Rising Dawn.

Teri, Garm, Sadei, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Coulange was a bit intimidated by the overly large man, but he quickly recovered. "You're going to be busy? That's a shame, but I'll make sure that you and your father will have the meals sent to your rooms. It's some really nice roasted salmon on top of wild rice with a side of lightly steamed carrots. You need any more help with the Princess, you know the man to call~!" He cooly waved and walked off, making a point to give that winning smile to the group before he left.

Sadei laughed inside Teri's head as the Lieutenant left. Teri, that man's so transparent! I don't know how you can't see what he's trying to do. Hehe~

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

Devon seemed to calm down a bit at Caim's reassurance. "Sorry about making you worry about my problems when you've already got more than your fair share, Caim. I'll try to keep what you two said in mind, even if I wish she hadn't had to do that in the first place altogether. Still, it seems like most of the fighting with your sister and that jackass has calmed down for the time being, so why doesn't he put the bracers back on? What, does he enjoy having her listen to his every whim?"

Krillin patted Ton-Ton on the head like he was a dog rather than a Tonberry and gave a goofy grin. [color=f88c2c]"Little Green, you aren't too bad. And if you want to talk about stress, there's a fun little story I could tell you about a month-long trip where there was a bitchy bluehead that insisted on prancing around in her underwear the whole time, Oh, it was so good to find that cave when we finally landed..."[/color] The point was one that would easily pass over the heads of most of the younger people there, but the implied date with Rosie Palms didn't pass by Caim, Angelus, and Devon.

"You're really going to bring in that kind of metaphor right now? Really?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny, Blade, Engisn Touya Date

"Never fought up in space before, but I'm guessing we'll try to get some Units inside the ships with the Teleporter before letting them ruin the ship from the inside before teleporting back to the base. The Shields should be enough to withstand whatever they throw at us so I figure we'll get though the battle handy enough. That being said, We NEVER fought in space before...."

Kazuya

[color=9f2e68]"I accept, on the condition that you don't hold back."[/color] Kazuya answered before taking off his top, revealing decades worth of scars, unlike Rugal, his were larger and greater in number, it was clear he done this many times.
The second the fight started he opted to go in with a Heavy Hook, hoping to get in close and stay there.

Hiryu, Melethia

"Because that's how both sides have lasted so long. If you arrived here a few years ago, you would have been killed on sight. Old habits die hard." Hiryu explained as they neared the No Strider Zone and he began to slow his steps for fear of inciting an attack.

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal

Rugal merely shook his head disprovability as Coulange walked off.
Thinks he's gods gift to women...freaken punk... He thought as he turned to Teri and asked "So did our "Friend" there say what spells you can and cannot cast or are we working off guesswork?" as he inspected the Mech.
I am NOT going out in one of those... He promised himself, while it was basically a Walking Tank, he wouldn't trust it up here in Space.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, 2nd Lt. Coulange

Teri shrugged, at both her staff and Rugal, [color=0E59E4]

"Both him and Tajuh said that I would be able to cast in it, but with a bit more difficulty. What I was wondering was what would be considered the most combat effective for a mech. The first thought that came to mind was the fact that since we're in space, all of my summoning capabilities kind of fall flat, ice constructs or no. Otherwise, I'm a little lost..."

[/color]

Noticing Rugal's pale face, she frowned, [color=0E59E4]

"You didn't have to walk here... I could have met up with you later, sir."

[/color]

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

Ton Ton tilted his head to the side in confusion at Krillin's joke, and look at Cadolbolg's parents, [color=15650D]"Why was he happy to find a cave? Was he able to get away from the 'bitchy bluehead'?"[/color]

Angelus shot a glare at Krillin, but spoke carefully, "Yes, little one, he was able to get away from the unpleasant woman from his recollection."

However, Caim found his attentions diverted by Devon's words, "There's a good lad. I'm not telling you to be an optomist, but to keep going, despite adversity, is something I will always encourage... However, based upon what you've said about Furiae, she changes based upon her emotions, right? Maybe if she calms down, she'll revert naturally. However, that does not mean I condone Inuart's actions around her... Gods, even if it was him who got her to the technology, I will not show him any mercy..."

 

[bluecrimson]

Jenny, Blade, Engisn Touya

The ensign finished up his drink as he looked around. [color=8a4304]"That sounds like a plan, but what's the backup in case they have ways to block the teleport? I mean, there's ways to shunt it off by just a bit to send the people trying that into space if it's based just on the technology."[/color]

Kazuya

Slindis shifted into the Water Stance and moved to the side to avoid the first hook while going for a sweeping low kick, all the while taking note of how Kazuya fought.

Water Stance, less strength for much more survivability, you know this whole song and dance by this point.

Hiryu, Melethia

Melethia gave the man a high-five. "So, how do ya want me to get in touch with ya? I don't want those stuffy guys to get the info and try sinkin' the ship, an' ya know they'd do somethin' like that. An' considerin' my mom an' Wheathair are there, that'd be all bad for everyone involved." Her upbeat tone did a good job at hiding the message of the girl retaliating well to most anyone else besides Hiryu, but the way she so casually mentioned that showed that she thought herself fully capable of such an action even after finding out about the Striders' stealth skills.

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal

Sadei chimed in. Well, Teri, maybe you can try something like a smokescreen with the obscuring mist to mess up the sensors? Chill metal might make your machine a bit harder to find if they're looking for heat, also. Mind if I try talking with Dimitri to see if there's some things I can see about how this machine works?

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

Krillin looked at the ground. [color=f88c2c]"God damnit, it's just like Bulma again, except this time she can bite my head off instead of bitching at me. What the hell did I do to deserve this?"[/color]

Devon didn't even bother turning around to justify Krillin's statement as one of the passing members of the Hagane. "Hmm, seems we should have these rings on for safety. Not exactly what I had in mind for security, but they seem to have their heads on straight. Anyway, Caim, after a while, you just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, even if it does sometimes get lodged firmly in someone's ass."

Krillin snapped at Devon's complete ignoring of him. [color=f88c2c]"What happened to make you so much better than me, huh? Just because you have some suit on and a guitar doesn't make you a hotshot. What crawled up your ass and died? Just find some other chick and give her the wink wink nudge nudge."[/color]

THe bard took a moment to respond to Krillin. "Look. I don't particularly care who you are, but the past few months of my life have been far from simple. I've tried keeping calm and laid back about it all, aand I didn't come here to make this a pity party. Just know that Ella's the first person that's made me feel like thingswould be just fine, like my life hadn't gone to hell in a handbasket. If you're going to tell me to just find someone else again, we're going to have problems real fucking fast, and I'm going to find uses for a plastic spoon that will boggle the mind. Understood?"

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal

Sadei chimed in. Mind if I try talking with Dimitri to see if there's some things I can see about how this machine works?

[color=0E59E4]"Hmn... Lemme see what I can do. Engage Silent Mode for a channel with Sadei, Dimitri."[/color]

Light blue text scrolled across the screen as Dimitri opened the floor for the spirit of the staff, [color=3897E0]"What would you like to know, Ms. Sadei?"[/color]

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

The pact partners gave each other knowing looks after Devon's outburst, the warrior of the two smiling faintly before pointing at Devon, "You know, I don't really like the Authors as a whole, but this guy... He's alright."

The dragoness shook her head with a laugh, and looked to Krillin, "You're fighting a losing battle, little man. Furthermore, if you think women are so easily disposable, then perhaps you need to re-evaluate your priorities in relationships."

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal

Sadei looked at the AI's text then thought. Hmm, what's the armor like and how's it going to handle actual space combat? I was also thinking that maybe I could be the conduit for Teri's spells, you know. Help her with the magic, because it's probably not going to be that easy altogether.

A search through the database told Dimitri that it was relatively lightly armored and likely intended as a light skirmisher. For the combat issues, it would be more of a flanking force, although Sadei's assistance could allow some of the offensive spells to directly attack the enemies out there.

In all, if it worked out right, Teri would have a good number of options.

Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

Krillin looked at the group with a sense of betrayal. [color=f88c2c]"Well, excuse me, dragon, but when every woman you've dealt with is crazy, a *****, a gold digger, or some combination of the three, you stopcaring about the personalities and go for the end result, because that's all they are. It's also something this little wannabe rock star needs to get through his head before that ***** he's going for drains his ass dry-"[/color] He would have gone on longer had Devon not coldcocked the man, knocking him straight on the ground.

[color=f88c2c]"What the hell was that for?"[/color]

"I warned you, didn't I? In case you didn't didn't get the hint the first time, stop talking about things that you know nothing about." He had clearly had enough of Krillin's nonsense.

Krillin owned count: 1

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny, Blade, Engisn Touya

Blade shrugged when Touya pointed out the Strider's Plan.
"I don't know. Hell, I'm not even sure if we'll even be able to get a lock on the ships..." He admitted, showing Touya that the Striders were a lot less prepared then they'd put on.
"Aside from that, I guess we'd send men in with pods. Just even 1 Strider on one of their ships can inflict a massive amount of damage." He added, hoping to instill some confidence in the Ensign.

"Also, we might be able to use the Teleporter in order to send over explosives...." Jenny added, causing Blade to freeze.
"....."
"...You honestly never thought of that?..."
"...No...No, I hadn't."

Kazuya

Kazuya rolled a nine to dodge the kick

Hopping over Slindis's sweep kick, Kazuya followed up with a quick Left, Right, Backhand combo followed with a large Sparta like kick to the midsection.

DC5 per attack to block/dodge: 4 attacks

Hiryu, Melethia

As Melethia talked, Hiryu reached into his utility belt and pulled out a small coin shaped mic.
"Just keep this on you, should be both powerful and low-key enough to get the job done. Just act casual keep an eye out for their Command. That coin will do the rest." He said as he flipped it with his thumb for her to catch.
"If anyone asks, you picked that out of someones pocket. We never talked, Understood Agent?"

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal

Rugal was delayed in his answer, but finally said "Well...I....am not sure what I can advise then...Just....that....ummm...."
It was clear that now the topic of space is back on the agenda, he was clearly un-nerved.
"...Well....What Spells can you use in that thing?..." He asked, trying to figure out what he could say.

 

[bluecrimson]

Jenny, Blade, Ensign Touya

Touya nodded. [color=8a4304]"You know, I never thought of it either... but now that I give it some thought, it could do a lot to disorient them! Jenny, you should go and tell someone else about that plan. Make sure it's someone that'll listen to that, though."[/color] He nodded before thinking it out. [color=8a4304]"Besides, Commander Tajuh's already seemed to assign the machines to the others, from what it feels like."[/color] The two there couldn't quite tell, but every person that was assigned a machine knew what it was and where it was in the battleship.

Kazuya

Slindis parried the first two attacks from the man, but the backhand caught her by surprise. However, she was able to recover quickly enough to throw in a rapid flurry of jabs and kicks while the man was caught slightly off-balance from his powerful kick.

DC5 to block or redirect each attack: 8 attacks.

Hiryu, Melethia

She winked as she looked at the man. "I'm sorry, mister, but who are ya again?" Hiryu got that she wasn't going to say much of anything, but he could also see her going over the mic in a way that showed that she'd try to find out exactly how it worked.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny, Blade, Ensign Touya

"I should do that. Thank you Touya." Jenny said before she got up and went to make her way off the Hagane to find Hiryu while Blade asked "Just...you fought in space before, right? Just...IF the Teleporter WAS off target....what would happen?..."
Touya noticed that Blade was uneasy, he was most likely part of the "Lucky" ones to go for the attack.

Kazuya

Kazuya was expecting Slindis to counter, but it wasn't anything that he couldn't blo-
[color=9f2e68]"OOF!"[/color] He grunted as took a jab clean to the face, opening up for Slindis's offensive.
Despite managing to get his guard up, she managed to sneak in another 2 attacks before he could get back to attacking.
[color=9f2e68]Tsh, guess he actually bothered teaching her...[/color] He thought before moving in for a Light Jab, a Medium Kick, a Heavy Straight followed by a Rising Elbow. (Cross Rush)

DC5 to block or redirect: 4 attacks

Hiryu, Melethia

As Melethia checked out the Mic,

[color=darkseagreen]"I'm sorry, mister, but who are ya again?"[/color]

.
She looked behind her and saw Hiryu with a speaker in his hand, replaying her voice on tape.
"Loud and Clear...." He joked before Jenny neared and he hid the speaker behind his back.
"Master Hiryu, I was talking with some of the others and we were wondering. About the "Teleport Offence" What about explosives instead of Striders?"
"Out of the question, we don't have enough bombs to deal with that many ships. All we have are personal mines and grenades, don't have something large enough to do enough damage to warrant the usage..." He explained, in ear shot of Melethia.

 

[bluecrimson]

Jenny, Blade, Ensign Touya

Touya grimaces when he thinks about. [color=8a4304]"Well, if you're lucky, you'd be sent out into space."[/color]

"...and if you're not?"

[color=8a4304]"Have you ever seen the first tests with the teleporter where something'd get lodged within an object? I'm gonna admit it: I lost my lunch seeing a buddy of mime who made that that mistake. He only had a week until graduating the program, too..."[/color]

Kazuya

Slindis gained 3 Ki from the successful attacks! Her Ki is now 39.

Slindis redirected the energy from the first jab, making it much easier to have Kazuya expend more of his energy before moving around the man, delivering even more punches and kicks as she moved. What she was focusing on now was how one would handle such a rapid attack, even if she wasn't holding anything back with the attacks.

DC5 to block, parry, or avoid. Number of attacks: nine.

Hiryu, Melethia

When she heard the communication, she grinned. "Hey, just 'cause you can't take out the whole ship doesn't mean that the bombs aren't useful. Fir example, what'd happen if the bombs were to hit key areas, like the steering or the engines? Ammo areas are also a nasty spot for a stray fire or somethin... Ya don't hafta take out everythin, but take out a few of 'em. Ya know, spread some panic and discord in their ranks? When ya got lemons, ya make lemonade. When ya got explosives, ya make the kinslayer's life a living hell." Her eyes glinted deviously as she planned out the various ways that the small amount of weapons could cause Tomoya's fleet problems.

 

[mcpop9]

Alucard
"Alucard just shrugged, the reference made him chuckle a bit. "Oh You..." Alucard said and set off for the entrance to the base.
[hr]
Dani
Dani walked forward and opened the door. She found the elevator waiting for her. Dani walked into it and let her wireless signals tap into the facility's systems. "Ok Viscus, activate any working defenses and clean out what you can, then give me an approximate number of remaining "tenants" in the building." Dani said descending.

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal

Teri could see that the conversation was getting nowhere, and grabbed on the man's sleeve lightly, [color=0E59E4]

"As far as I know, there is are no limitations. And with what Sadei and Dimitri are talking about, Sadei will be able to help mitigate some of the strain. Dimitri, email him the spell list. Translate as much jargon as you can, and do what you can to simplify the descriptions of what the spells do..."

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"Right away, Madam.... And done. Mr. Bernstein, you now have a simplified file for reference."

[/color]

Teri gave a thankful smile to her AI, and tugged Rugal sleeve a little more, pointing at Oto-hime, [color=0E59E4]

"Now, it won't do you any good to stick outside here. We can take a look at Oto-hime's cockpit, if you're thinking about piloting a mech in the upcoming battle, or we can go elsewhere. I don't want you to keep suffering out here for my sake..."

[/color]


Caim, Devon, Angelus, Ton Ton, Cadolbolg, and Krillin

After seeing Devon's display of irritation towards Krillin, the warrior and his companion gave little shrugs, and motioned for Devon to follow after them, very much wanting to get away from the irritating short man.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Jenny, Blade, Ensign Touya

Blade grew advisably nervous as Touya gave him a prediction of his fate should the Teleporter get interrupted or set incorrectly.
"...Jenny, please for the love of god tell him to use the bombs instead..." He groaned as he facedesked at the fact he could die before the real fight even began.

Kazuya

Years of experience managed to get him out of most of Slindis's attacks, most, but not all, 2 stray hits getting though.
Toughing it out, he looked for an opening.
[color=9f3e68]"Not bad. I'm starting to see some of the "Lord God" in you..."[/color] He commented, referring back to Rugal's days of delusion before answering back with a assault of his own, neither side getting a advantage over the other.
Some lighting fast jabs, some well placed kicks, a hard hitting gut shot followed by his Demon Screw Uppercut.

Hiryu, Melethia

"And on top of that Master, we wouldn't need to risk any of our ranks in the event the Teleporter gets jammed or disrupted." Jenny added as Hiryu thought it over.
"Besides, no offense Master, but do you think you could convince our men to take such a risk given the current situation?..."
".....Understood...Very Well...I guess that it would be better suited to send in bombs rather then ourselves, though some of the more "Proud" Members will still relish the idea of storming a ship or two."
Jenny was clearly relieved to hear that and could only imagine how good Blade would feel about it.Dani/Viscus

On Command, Viscus proceeded to tap into the Base's defense grid and began to try and reboot it.

".....Unable to reboot Automated Defenses from here. Back during the attack that left most of this Lab in ruins, the Mainframe must have been compromised. Establishing Visual Link...."

Bringing up a Live Feed, The Surviving Infected Soldiers had set up a kind of underground city, made of tents and crude buildings.
The feed also showed a Mutated Mr. X Tyrant and a few Soldiers walking Evolved Lickers around like pets with leashes and all.
In the years since Weskers ownership, they really began to live peaceful lives underground, though they only swelled in number thanks to attacking and infecting those who came down there.

"Estimated Number: Main Entrance: 231, 24'142 in total though out the complex, all of whom will be removed once the Lab's Reboot is engaged."

Thus the lift descended into their world...

Teri, Garm, Sadei, Rugal


"...No...I'll...I'll take a look inside...seeing how...I'll be piloting one..." Rugal said as he followed Teri into the Mech's Cockpit.
Opting to sit down inside it in order to get a better look of her Giant Space Coffin Mecha, He calmed down slightly as he speed read though her spells.
"Okay, got a few ideas:
1. Use Doom[footnote]One subject takes -2 on attack rolls, damage rolls, saves, and
checks[/footnote] on an enemy unit, Mech or not, the effects will be the same.

2. Ice Beasts should still be able to form, the lack of heat in space will allow for their formation. From there, they can leap off the front of your Mech and at enemies.

3. Entropic Shield[footnote]Ranged attacks against you have 20% miss chance[/footnote]. Entropic Shield a LOT.

4. In close quarters with another mech, use Ice Slick to blind them.

5. Shield of Faith, no explaination needed.

6. Resist Energy might stop a laser or 2.

7. Make Whole[footnote]Repairs an object[/footnote], Use it right and it might just save your life.

8. Ice Shape for something to attack with, a Lance for example.

9. Magic Vestment might apply. MIGHT

.....You taking these down?"

Jenny, Blade, Ensign Touya

Ensign Date put a hand on the Grovyle's shoulder. [color=8a4304]"I didn't mean to scare you, but I've seen that... it's a horrible way to die, and it's something you needed to know about."[/color] He was genuinely worried about the Grovyle, mainly because he was one of the few Striders that seemed sane.

Kazuya

Slindis gained 2 more Ki from the attacks, bringing her Ki up to 41

Slindis saw that the combination move that Kazuya was doing relied on his momentum, so she picked it apart through fluidly moving around some of the attacks and parrying some of the others, culminating in a slide under the man as he did the uppercut. Just working her way through that combination had taught her a great dealon how to work around someone trying to shatter her defenses, and she didn't let the man rest as she went in for some more attacks, holding absolutely nothing back.

Hiryu, Melethia

Melethia nodded. "I gotcha, mister, and they can still pop up on the other ships if they really wanna. Way I look at it is why work hard when we can cripple their fleet with a few well-placed moves?"
