We Are Our Avatars IX: Act V: The Sabotage of the Scandolous Saurian Scoundrels (Open)

Sophia frowned as she heard Victoria's response, looking back at her with a disapproving look. "And what's that supposed to mean?" She replied back, poking her head back into the room. She took one last look around before stepping back into the room with Victoria. "Seriously though, what's gotten into you?" She asked, using a tone for which she wanted a reasonable answer.

Sophia abruptly looked back as Dave appeared. "Alright, I will. I would have offered my own clothes, but I doubt anything would really fit her, thank you." She nodded as she grabbed the clothing from him. "Would you happen to know where a dryer would be so we can get these freshened up? When the others come back we'll need as many as we can get." She instructed as she offered the two wet towels.

Roland was about to speak, but he decided to allow the cyborg to answer Joel's question before he spoke.

[color=01A9DB]"You no longer work for World Marshall. You should wait outside until we return, and it would be a bad idea to contact your former employers or attempt to hinder us in any way."[/color] Roland said to the cyborg after he answered Joel's question. When he was finished talking, he stopped spinning the bullet, allowing the cyborg to return to his senses but with Roland's words now placed in his mind as if they were his own thoughts.

"Like I said, these elevators don't go to the secure level. The freight platform goes from the hanger basement to the penultimate floor though." The cyborg replied to Joel, hypnotised, before Roland stopped spinning the bullet and his suggestions took hold. He shook his head as if to clear it, then reached up to his neck, taking a set of dog tags patterned with World Marshall's logo from behind his combat vest. He ripped them off, letting it fall to the floor. "I'm done with this... All this... I'm gonna sit outside for a bit and... Rest my head..." He walked out, somewhat woozily.

"Compasionate of you." Samus remarked to Roland, slightly surprised and also sounding a bit pleased.

[color=003399]"[small]Thanks for nothing.[/small]"[/color] Joel muttered as the cyborg walked off. [color=003399]"Let's work out how high the elevators go the old fashioned way. They probably expect us to go through the hanger, so if we head up the elevators, then walk through the rest of the building, we might be able to throw them off."[/color]

 

[Demonjazz]

"I have no idea where one would be. Perhaps in the room where you put the laundry."

 

[username sucks]

[color=01A9DB]"The elevators are right in front of us, that is what they would expect us to use. The cupboard told us an alternate route through the hangars. We should use it."[/color] Roland replied to Joel.

Seras started to sputter something in response to Roland, but as soon as he started the interrogation, she suddenly started to wobble on her feet. She shakily backed up to a wall and slid down into a sitting position. She stayed in this position up until the current time.

[X-9 had no input on what was happening.]

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"I'll keep track of the building's structure as we move along with my mass sensory. A map will be recorded on my computer, Graviton."

"It sounds like we have a lot of ground to cover in order to make our way up the bad boy himself. We'll start with Joel's suggestion. And if it leads to a dead-end we'll head back."

<color=purple>"We could also try splitting up if that's possible." She suggested.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=003399]"He also said there'd be a lot of security in the hangar."[/color] Joel pointed out.

 

[Zepherus14]

"Ya, I can't think of anywhere else it could be. Is it too much to ask for you to take care of these please?" She asked politely as she could.

 

[Drakmorg]

"You know what I mean. I don't even remember that last fight, but I know I sure wasn't any help.  And now someone's dead. [small]All I did was make more problems.[/small]"

Vicky replied to Sophia as she faced the wall.

"We should stay together. We don't know what defences they have here." Samus told Gwen. She turned to Joel. "At least we know what is down there. If we go to the public sector, we don't know what will be there or if there is even a way up."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=003399]"Like EMily said, if it's a dead end then we can head back down. Or make a way up."[/color] Joel replied. [color=003399]"I just thought this way might have less people trying to kill us."[/color]

 

[username sucks]

[color=01A9DB]"The public sector also sounds like it would have more civilians. We don't want to risk collateral damage."[/color] Roland said to Joel.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=003399]"I don't think they do, either."[/color] Joel replied.

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Good point." She said to Samus.

"It sounds like all the paths available have risks to them one way or the other. Let's just start with one and go on from there."

Seras continued to sit against the wall, her gray fedora like hat hiding her face.

"Is it really a good idea to leave that guy outside by himself? Also, something tells me these folks don't care about their employes lives." I say as I move to stay close to the others.

 

[Zepherus14]

"That's because you got a massive bump on your head after that one kick." Sophia protested. "I wasn't close enough to really get a mouth full of whatever that gas was, but it smelled foul. You couldn't have really done much differently after the ball started rolling." She said as she rubbed her forehead and offered the clothing. "And I realize you didn't really know what was happening, but you do realize I would have been... well... flat if not for you kicking me out of the way there, right?" She reminded Victoria.

"I'd really suggest putting these dry clothes on. It should help get some of that dampness off of you and make you feel a bit warmer."

 

[Demonjazz]

"You're not my master. So I don't have to do what you say, and I don't feel like doing laundry for you."
