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

[Drakmorg]

Oh yeah... That's the ticket... Victoria sighed pleasantly to herself as her fatigue and lightheadedness began to gradually drain from her body. When the process was over and her body had healed, she took one final deep breath and sat up, exhaling as she did.

"Whew, that's some great stuff ya got there!"

 

[Slenn]

"I have no doubt that you are experienced." She took a deep breath. "But everyone feels like they are not worthy of a task at some point. At that's always the impetus behind getting better at something. I felt I could have been a bit better at punching through that merman's armor with the laser I had. They eventually got behind a wall where I couldn't see. I felt I could've been a bit faster at killing the guys who were taking down victims. The best thing you can do at the moment is to move on."

"I... Suppose..." Samus still seemed unsure, though she uncurled, sitting up straight. Hastily changing topic, she held a hand over the small cuts in her Zero Suit where she had been injured in the last battle. "Do you know where I can get some energy? I need to make suit repairs."

OoC: Off for a little bit.

 

[Slenn]

"In this century they would've used electrical sockets. Other than that, I'm not exactly sure if I could deliver energy to wherever you need it."

 

[Kirke]

OoC: Gonna write in 2nd-person with this character, see how it goes.
Lunar Orbit, Sworder IV, 8:30AM
After waiting in orbit around the Moon for some time, resting up and debating how to proceed, you decide that you might as well land and check out what has happened to Earth. Setting a course, you head towards what you've heard is the largest spaceport on Earth outside the Kane Band; Tokyo, Japan.

You wonder whether or not to check out the rather large meteoroid that crashed through down not long ago, but decide that it probably wasn't important enough to warrant a touchdown, even if you could accurately pin-point it's position. With thrusters to full burn, you soar towards Earth.

Massai Mara, Kenya - 0:44 AM.​

A little over six minutes passed, after which the bug ate the cocoon and moved out of its burrow, emerging being one and three centimeters larger in height and length respectively. Once outside the burrow, the bug first practiced its flying, but like all the times before, didn't make any progress, being unable to fly for more then a couple of seconds before gracelessly falling. After this, it ate its way through the grasslands, until it caught wind of a new scent.

Clacking its mandibles softly, the bug followed the scent, lowering itself into a prowl and masking its scent once it hung thicker in the air. Its prey coming in sight before long, the bug saw a trio of oribis, relatively small antelopes. Looking the trio over, the bug thought for a moment on which of the oribis to take down, but soon decided it would try to take down all of them. Waiting for a moment longer for one of the oribis to move closer, lunging at the first one that did.

Biting down on the oribi, the bug extended its fangs and pierced its hind leg, injecting the neurotoxin into its bloodstream. Retracting its fangs and letting go of the oribi, the bug began chasing after the other two, who by now had a signifficant headstart. After roughly thirty seconds of chasing a single oribi after losing sight of one, and with one that the bug was still chasing gradually becoming a smaller dot in the distance, the bug stopped, figuring it wouldn't catch up.

Annoyed, the bug clacked its mandibles quickly, producing something of a rattling noise, then began retracing its steps to make its way back to the oribi it had bitten.

[color=ff9966]"Yeah... How do you feel now?"[/color] the alien asked, returning the tablet-like device to its pocket due to it no longer being needed for communication.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Muuuch better now. Thanks a ton... uh... Hey, what's your name?"

Victoria replied while scratching lightly at the injection point on her arm.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=ff9966]"It's Phaesan Ran'tern. What's yours?"[/color] the figure replied.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I cannot just stick my finger into a plug socket." Samus said with a hint of snark. "Do you mind giving it a try? A small amount of electricity is all I need."

 

[Slenn]

"Now that I can do. All I need to know is where I need to apply the electrical current and how much."

 

[Drakmorg]

"Victoria Dalca."

Vic replied. She started doing stretches with her right arm as she asked,

"So why'd you bother patching me up, Phae?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus' armour materialised. She held her arm cannon out, but didn't aim it at anything. "Anywhere will complete the curcit. I do not know how much I will need exactly, but I will tell you when its fully repaired."

 

[Slenn]

"If you say so."
EMily placed both hands on the side of the arm cannon to make a complete circuit and delivered a voltage of 9 volts at 120 Hz. She felt the presence of something inside the suit using the voltage, so she adjusted the voltage and frequency appropriately to the blackbox that was Samus' armor.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

[color=ff9966]"I thought you might be able to help me find out how I got here."[/color] Phaesan replied. [color=ff9966]"I assume something similar happened to you."[/color] As she spoke, Phaesan opened the curtain around Victoria's bed slightly, and peeked through.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus' armour quickly recharged, the gashes in the chest healing. After a while, the suit stopped taking in energy. "Done. Thank you."

 

[Slenn]

She stopped the electricity, looking impressed.
"Energy to matter conversion for healing... very cool."

"I've asked a lot about everyone else here. But are there any questions you have about myself?"

OOC: BRB in 10 to 20 mins.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Well you lucked into picking the right person. Sort of, anyway. I can tell you how you got here, but I dunno the 'why' or the 'what' of it."

Victoria replied. She stopped her stretching as she was painfully reminded that she still had an IV planted in her arm. She sighed angrily as she let her arms drop back to her side.

"Anyway, you've been taken out of your dimension and put into this one."

Seeing that Phaesan was looking through the curtains, she said,

"If you're gonna go out, can ya find me a nurse? I wanna get this thing outta me so I can leave."

 

[Kirke]

Your beloved Sworder IV shoots down into the atmosphere, and you scan the city of Tokyo to find a good landing spot. Picking a spot outside a rather large building, you head down cautiously and prepare your landing.
OoC: Away for about a hour, sorry.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"How did you gain that electricity ability?" Samus asked bluntly, taking her armour back off, her Zero Suit now flawlessly repaired.
