WE ARE OUR AVATARS (One of a kind Rp)

[Arrogancy]

Good. "No, it's nothing." Mat looked off a ways. The Aelfinn had given him a prophecy. Marry the Daughter of the Nine Moons. Mat was determined to avoid that prophecy at any cost. This woman though, was military. That was more interesting, Mat thought as he pulled himself from thoughts of the Aelfinn's prophecies. He might not understand or like those memories he had, but they had saved his life more than once, and he found himself more interested in military tactics since acquiring them. "How does the military of the future operate?"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Epsilon rubbed his helmet. "Okay, let's start simple. What shape is it? Does it have LEDs? If so, what colour?"
"Oh boy. You should get your engineer down here, or Epsilon will just... shut down I suppose." Gamma chuckled.

Three motorbike-like vehicles roared down the street and stopped. "We got an automatic warning signal from Gamma. Who'd he eviscerate this time? I bet it was another group of orphans." the leader laughed. Gamma let out a long growl. "I thought you disconnected that ***** from my suit." he growled at Theta, who simply shrugged.

 

[Random berk]

"Depends what you mean. The Alliance military mainly just defends the colonies now, though we have a fleet standing by in the local cluster- thats Earth's solar system- to assist the colonies or the Council in case of an attack.Most major conflicts tend to happen in space now, the military only sees action on the ground in rare occasions, like the invasion of Eden Prime. As a Spectre though, I'm seperate from the rest of the Alliance navy. I tend to go in with just my own hand picked team, where an army can't." She laughed at Epsilon's question.

"Sounds like you have less of a clue than I do. And trust me, if you can't understand my explanation, anything that Tali tells you would give you a brain haemmorhage."

OOC: Whatever happened to Ezio?

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"I'm trying to work out what model you have, because you clearly don't know. Saying it has a larger core is like asking someone to fix your computer by saying 'It has lots of RAM' when they ask what type you have. I can do it. Watch. Theta, FTLs."
"Triangle, blue pulsing lights on the corners."
"Eradina Mark VI Interstellar."
"Square, five red lights, four green. X and diamond patterns."
"Graden I, V2.3. Burns out after half a lightyear. See? So, get this Tally down here if you want me to help."
"Stop flirting. Delta Team Officer Lambda, and I doubt you've heard much good about me."

OOC: I don't know what to do with him at the moment. Not much plot for him, because he was going to go with Eragon and Dromaeus.

 

[Arrogancy]

"In space?" That was a thought. How would you defend an entire planet from attack from above? What weapons would you use? This was a new kind of warfare, Mat considered, and he'd master it. He'd already mastered virtually every kind of possible war, save wars with the One Power, and he was well on his way to working out that. In all those memories he had he could recall with almost perfect clarity each and every battle those other men had fought in, how they thought of them, what books and commanders they had consulted. All this made plus his own creativity and additions Mat one of the best generals on either side of the Aryth Ocean.

 

[Arrogancy]

OOC: I've got to go.

 

[Random berk]

"Very impressive." Shepard turned to the new woman, Lambda.
"Not much. The big guy says you have quite a temper, and since he introduced himself by attacking the kid with the sword and painting a target on his ass for my snipers, you must be even quicker to a fight. Now, you know who I am. What are your allegiances?"

OOC: Consistent? Bloody annoying is what it is.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

OOC: Why do the servers disappear from Google Chrome at 7pm? At least the failure is consistent.

Lambda rubbed her chin. "Temp- OH, the terrorist I castrated. That was an interrogation that went to far... [small]I'm going to cut you, you son of a whore![/small]" she said, hissing the last part at Gamma.
"So, about this broken FTL drive..." Epsilon said.

 

[Random berk]

Shepard rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. Whether this man could fix the drives or not, she couldn't just bring them aboard the Normandy. It was highly classified technology, and they hadn't even said who they worked for.
"I'll send for Tali. If you tell her what you know, she can add that to her own knowledge. She's a Quarian though, and even among them she's an engineer without equal. I'd be very surprised if you can tell her more about the Normandy's propulsion system than she already knows."

I get the same, but when I do get in, it also gives me some rubbish about too much traffic, IRC chat, and a walrus. It did that all night yesterday.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

OOC: Seriously, new thread. The other ones open just fine.

OOC: Actually, for me I just get 'Google Chrome could not find escapistmagazine.com'. I can't do anything unless I use cached pages. It's a fairly decent speed, but unfindable.

"Look, I need to know what FTL drive you have. Get your engineer down here, maybe she can help." Epsilon groaned.
"Shut up you AI-fucking dumbass." Lambda turned back to Shepard. "We're US spec ops soldiers."
Gamma looked up. "Quarian? That some kinda alien? I guess they're allies of humans... I won't kill her then."

 

[Random berk]

"I see. Well, I guess to a certain extent we can consider ourselves allies then." She looked at Epsilon again.
"You're an AI? You do a good job of passing for human. Getting you to work with Tali probably wouldn't be a great idea though. Best case scenario, she'd probably just baulk at working with you. Worst case, she'd probably shoot you. She really doesn't like AI's."

"Allies, not really. The Quarians look out for themselves. They're a nomadic race. I happen to have good personal relations with the Migrant Fleet though, and Tali is an old friend. And don't even talk about killing any of my people, two of them are still looking at us through rifle scopes."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"I'm not an AI. We do have them, for suit management or, in my case, piloting and diagnostics. Lambda just... she's talking about this one time... I was adjusting her wave frequency, you... GAH!"
"He was fucking an AI."
"Sorry. I just... I've spent years killing aliens. I have trust issues."

 

[Random berk]

"Ah, right. I misunderstood what you said. " She raised one eyebrow at Epsilon as she spoke though, before responding to Gamma.

"No problem. Just control yourself if any of my shore team are around. Most of them are aliens. All are friends. And one or two are quick to start a fight as well."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Epsilon walked away and sat next to the shuttle.
"So, Shepard, right? What conflicts have you been in?" Theta asked.

 

[Random berk]

"Plenty of them. I fought at Elysium when the Batarian pirates from the Terminus systems tried to invade en masse. That was back when I was just the commander of a frigate in the garrison. When they took out one of the orbital defense platforms, my ship defended the breach for hours, alone, until the Arcturus fleet arrived. They branded me a war hero. Since then, I fought in the Geth invasion of Eden Prime, Feros, Virmire, and defended the Citadel against Sovereign, Saren and their Geth. I've been in a load of smaller scale incidents as well. That was all before I went freelance for a time. I've done plenty more since then, but the Council prefers that I don't talk about that. So, you guys have fought aliens? What aliens? First contact wasn't made until I was a kid."

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Well, we don't really know what they're called. Not very talkative when you shoot at them. We didn't make first contact until the battle of Sierra Vista. We were deployed on the frontlines there." Theta explained.

 

[Random berk]

"Battle of Sierra Vista? Doesn't sound familiar, and I studied military history as part of my training."

 

[Zepherus14]

OOC: I'm not quite sure what is happening, are the mercs at the landing site yet or not? With regards to a new thread...the avatar adbenture thread is twice as long as this and i occasionaly take a peak and it doesnt take as long to open.

It's probably sheer volume of posts in such a short time... that's my thoughts...

Joe looked up from his stupor, had he been moved? The Mighty Multi-persona Psychotic Ranger where talking with some red haired woman.

"Hey what happened, I was ta..l...king" Joe looked at the ship again, his stupor had returned.

 

[Drakmorg]

Preginald quietly freed himself from the grip of the armored man holding onto him.
I'd better get out of here. If Joe spills the beans about me trying to blow everything up, which I'm sure he will, I'm as good as dead. Besides, I need to think of a new plan now.
Preginald opened a small portal and disappeared.

OOC: Character Swap Time! Don't worry, Preginald will be back when the plot calls for a new villain. Just wanted to play someone else in the meantime.
