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

[Slenn]

The sisters nodded to Darkan. EMily's face lit up slightly at the mention of science. She and Gwen were still slightly disgruntled at the fact that they were pulled away from a spa after they had been through two tedious bounties. They still wanted to make a good impression.
"Can we help you in any way with that science? All four of us are scientists, specifically physicists. But we'll be willing to help with any experiment, so long as it's not mad engineering."

 

[username sucks]

Alain looked at all the futuristic guns, confused by all the technology and afraid to even try out anything. "Right... on second thought, guns aren't really my thing."

"I do not know of this 'Science'... perhaps I can still help somehow?" Nalyssa asked Darkan.

 

[Demonjazz]

Darkan's face lit up in extreme anger at the mention of someone wanting to join him in science. "NOOOOO! You're gonna tell me how to do my job! Just like the other scientists! And then they stole my science! It's all my fault for trusting other scientists with my science! They want to touch my stuff, and unscience everything! They think I don't have a degree! I have a degree though! I went to college! I got a doctor's license I did! But no one trusts me as a doctor! It's cause all doctors are evil! Except me, they're all part of the doctor conspiracy! Putting down those who want to treat the cause instead of the symptom! They think I'm crazy, but I'll show them! I'll show them all one day! And then they will recognize my degree!" He babbled about this while going up the stairs to the next deck on the ship. He was wringing his hands not menacingly, but just nervously. He was also constantly readjusting his clothes.

 

[Slenn]

Fantastic. EMily thought sarcastically as one arm was slump and the other was palming her face.
The girls called out for him as he went up the stairs.
<color=green>"Oh c'mon! Pwease! All we've been doing is fighting for the past month or so! We want to use our brains!" Winona said, making a half-comical gesture of desperation.
<color=brown>"Could we at least give you a helping hand?"

Gwen shook her head at the situation as she put her hands on her waist.

 

[Demonjazz]

"I DON'T WANT HELP! He yelled at them, stomping off to the medical bay upstairs, and locking himself inside of the lab. Some could possibly hear him talking to someone else in the lab.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"...is he OK?"

 

[Slenn]

Gwen was clearly frustrated.
<color=purple>"This is ludicrous. Sara, can you remind me again why we're called here?"
<color=brown>"I would thank you to not be impertinent, Gwen."
<color=purple>"Sara, I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but we've been doing nothing but fighting for the past month or so! You've only been here for two or so fights. I'm not liking it when I'm being reduced to just another person for firepower. Seriously!"
"Especially when our specialty profession is being refused." EMily commented, not nearly as crossed as Gwen, but still quite ticked.
<color=brown>"C'mon now! We've been through this before! Our time on the battlefield uses brains as well."
<color=purple>"That may be, but I'd like to use some of my brains off the battlefield for once!"

<color=green>"Mom, dad... please stop fighting." Winona said meekly.
<color=brown>"It's fine, Winona."

<color=purple>"*Sigh* I'm going to eavesdrop on them. Whether they like it or not, I'd like to know what's going on around here." She proceeded up the stairs and began to listen in.
Sara would say something about it, but refrained. Gwen's anger, while much less volatile than in her childhood, was not something she wanted to stir up again.

 

[Slenn]

<color=purple>"Yeeeeooooowwwww!" Gwen screamed, clutching her head as a massive bending in space-time was detected by her. It was so intense that it pulled her to the ground, making her kneel. She quickly pulled herself away from the staircase.

<color=brown>"What the... What is it?"

<color=purple>"It's...owww.. it's something outside. It's a really big space-time rip." The feeling of pain was dropping down. She rubbed her head to help with the headache.

OOC: @Developous. No, I did not pull that sixth sense out of my butt. That is one of Gwen's core abilities.

 

[Demonjazz]

Gwen could overhear the end of a conversation before the portals opening. It sounded like Darkan was talking to another man.
"I think you're being paranoid."
"I'm not paranoid... Or well yes I am. Paranoid Schizophrenic. But I'm not paranoid about this. You heard what happened last time! I deserved that degree! They already wrote one out for me! But it's all the other scientists fault! They were sabotaging me from the beginning!"
"I doubt that these scientists are the same for some reason."
"They're all the same! They're all the same![sub]They're all the same[/sub][sub][sub]They're all the same[/sub][/sub][sub][sub][sub]They're all the same[/sub][/sub][/sub][sub][sub][sub][sub]They're all the same[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][sub][sub][sub][sub][sub]They're all the same[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

 

[Slenn]

OOC: @Developous. I'm sorry, but as of this moment, you're going to have to earn a reputation with us before you drop reputation numbers on us. None of those rankings mean anything and currently we have little drive to achieve higher rankings. You'll have to convince us.

Also, where is Avalon speaking from? Is he in our ship? Is he in his ship?

If he's in our ship:
<color=purple>"What the.... owww." Gwen rubbed her head again as Avalon came in.
The sisters kneeled down to tend to Gwen.
<color=brown>"Excuse me, but my sister is having a headache. She reported a space-time rip that has caused this severe pain. And, I don't mean to be rude, but I do not care for whatever you're showing us at the moment. Tending to others comes first." She turned back to Gwen. <color=brown>"Would you like some tea from my thermos?"
<color=purple>"Yes, thank you Sara."
She pulled out a thermos from her satchel and inserted some water from a bottle. She twisted the bottom so that it 'clicked' and turned on a heating element. Once it was piping hot she inserted an Earl Grey tea bag inside it and switched off the heating element.
<color=brown>"Here you go, Gwen."
<color=purple>"Thanks, Sara." And Gwen took a sip.

Húriel looked around the armoury, but didn't see much that seemed familiar. Declining to pick anything, she instead went to a secluded corner of the cargo bay and placed herself behind a pile of boxes. She then removed her armour, and began donning a set of golden armour she took from her backpack.

 

[Slenn]

@Developous. Then how is he communicating to our own ship? Also, you should get used to using the chat to explain things.

 

[Slenn]

@Developous. Then you need to explain that. This is a thread where clarity without being too simple is key. You don't have to type a huge dialogue or a novel. But you need to detail how something is performed or what is being done. Not everyone will assume the same thing if you make it so general.

Sara shook her head and didn't give a response. Gwen took another sip of her tea.
<color=purple>"I'm feeling better. I also got a better idea of this guy that we're with. He's clinically insane. At this point he would be taken to Markus for some therapy if he was in our time." Gwen smiled a bit as she remembered Markus, but saddened a bit as she continued. <color=purple>"I know Markus likes helping others with their problems. But he's... just had a rough past with others in the same field. Even though I heard his colleagues suspect us not being so bad, he's not liking the situation at all."

"Maybe he just needs some time with all of us to gain our trust."

<color=purple>"I hear ya'." Another sip.

Kenna waited silently, not really sure what to say.
