We Are Our Avatars VI (Closed for Good)

[Zepherus14]

As she continued more and more of the brown particles were driven off. Eventually the orb seemed to come to a rest, now completely white and maybe only a quarter of its original size. Erica wouldn't really know if the orb that was now there was just part of what the original orb was, or possibly it had somehow substituted for the brown one. The important part however, was that it was there, Sophia had created an orb of white chocolate.

Sophia peeked with one of her eyes to see if anything was working, and her jaw partially dropped at the sight of the orb. "No wait..." She muttered in disbelief.

(To Jona, Kynn & the Rookie: I suggest we head over there and investigate. Whoever that is, they're here in force.)
The Rookie took off his rucksack and took out the SMG inside. He also took a field repair kit and quickly fused together the damaged chestplate. When finished, he packed the kit up again and attached the chestplate to his armour. Donning his rucksack, he prepared to follow Jona and Kynn.
OoC: I need to leave now, sadly. The Rookie will follow Jona and Kynn. His armaments (In case of a fight) is a Silenced SMG with low damage per shot but high rate of fire, a silenced pistol with .50 caliber shots and fragmentation grenades. See ya.

EDIT: Never mind, I was wrong. I don't have to leave just yet.

Marston continued to ride to the west.

Savranth stopped on the outskirts of the forest, taking out the Philosopher's Blade from his sheath. "Look alive."

So...Savs talking to himself, huh?

 

[Saltyk]

OoC: @Outis: Grace is with him...

 

[Random berk]

Kynn glanced at the Rookie.

"Wait, why? I don't think that's such a good..." He trailed off as the Rookie set off regardless, and Jona sped ahead of them at the full speed of a sprinting Jedi.

"Damn it." Kynn finished and groaned before setting off after them.

OOC: @Kirke Excellent. Hmm. I think I can use this fight, actually...

 

[Wackymon]

Grace nods, and switches into her omega form.
"Just... Don't shoot until I can try to talk to them."

Data would be met the moment he appeared with a burst of fire slamming into him, his presence announced well beforehand by his heat signature. Two of the predators he fired at avoided the shots, returning fire with unique shotgun style weapons that sprayed buckshot that exploded on contact. the third lost his left arm in the disintegration before his body armor, much more advanced then the others, restabilized his structure. Instead of going into shock, the shot predator chuckled and pulled his weapon with his other hand. this was directed towards a predator in armor anointed in blood, with a strange flag wrapped around his shoulder. He nodded imperiously, and the newly one armed predator collected ten adders to chase after Data, firing into the trees as he ran from them.

OoC: Gonna need to ask that you wait until you actually have a group in place to fight them. Bad things happen otherwise, like being found out early and having the army prepare for you.

 

[Chungus]

Once the soldier sat down at his desk to eat, Loki looked at the desk to see if there happened to be a blue keycard laying on it. He also looked if there were any open drawers.
[hr]
As the brown orb turned white entirely, Erica tilted her head as she watched on curiously, not entirely sure what she was looking at. Once she saw Sophia's responce to seeing the orb herself, Erica smiled. "It worked, I take it?"

OoC: Would an android even have a noticeable heat signature?

 

[Wackymon]

@FPS: Data's an android, and dosn't leave a heat signature.

Data runs away from the clearing, running fairly quickly, as he makes a mild turn, very, very mild. A few bullets pierce him, but leave no effect. Unless the shots are made to pierce heavy duty armor (I mean, pretty heavy duty)

 

[FPSfanatic]

OoC: @Nail I'd assume at the very minimum he'd show up as a human sized signature that differentiates from the forest in heat.

 

[Random berk]

Jona arrived in the forest well ahead of the Rookie and Kynn, and came to rest in a tree overlooking the position where Data had been shot. He hunkered down on the branch and drew his sword, hissing as he saw the shotgun wielding predators close in on him.

OOC: An android would produce some kind of signature. He still needs energy to function, and that means a higher heat level than the surrounding flora. (Which incidentally also produce heat, but only a negligible amount, if I remember my biology correctly.)

 

[Outisakanobody]

Marston was still on his way to the forest.

OOC: Next post he will be there.

OoC: Gonna need to ask that you wait until you actually have a group in place to fight them. Bad things happen otherwise, like being found out early and having the army prepare for you.

That sounds an awful lot like strategy. And you know how we are about strategy round these parts.

OOC: I for one fucking love when we can work actual strategy in a battle rather than just say 'my character lives and kils a bunch of mooks because he's magic enough to do so.'

 

[Kirke]

The Rookie arrived at the edge of the forrest and slowed down, intending to scout the enemy camp before engaging. He stalked slowly through the forrest, using his VISR to identify enemy contacts.

 

[Zepherus14]

"I... I don't know, I've never seen it like this... ever!" Sophia said to Erica, seemingly the orb must have been stable enough on its own now since Sophia had just dropped her focus on it. "Now let's see..."

Sophia then put her arms out much like she had originally did for her first attempt, but instead used the new white chocolate. The orb almost instantly adhered to her hands and started shining in a warm and rather strong glow of white.

Not giving a moment to let this chance pass, Sophia imagined a dummy with a small , but still decent cut to its arm. Sophia brought her hands to the spot and tried to heal it. The glowing light bathed over the cut, and it slowly started to close up. The spell seemed to end a tad earlier than expected, as the cut hadn't been fully sealed, but Sophia looked ecstatic. "I-it... it worked... It worked!!" She shouted.

OoC: You know... I'm pretty good at getting the anti-Hatchy.

 

[FPSfanatic]

One of the sentries began wandering over to the area Data had been shot at, examining the trees. what was that hissing noise? he wondered, poking into the holes some of the blasts had left in the tree.

Meanwhile, the berserkers were unloaded and pushed to near the center of the camp, kept docile by several depressants. The shots had angered them however, and they began grunting and fighting weakly against the people holding them still. The predator commander ordered entrenchments built to better protect the landing zone, and 30 of the predators began digging in, preparing for another wave of crazy androids.

the group hunting Data began following him by his trail from the trees, cloaking up to better surprise him. They leaped from tree to tree, the wounded predator easily keeping pace as his armor sterilized the wound and injected pain killers.

OOC: I for one fucking love when we can work actual strategy in a battle rather than just say 'my character lives and kils a bunch of mooks because he's magic enough to do so.'

Well sure we love that, but how often does it usually happen?

 

[Saltyk]

"You're kidding right? Do you think they're here to plant roses?" Savranth said as he cautiously walked into the forest, looking for any sign of the enemy.

[hr]

The soldier opens a drawer to take out a pen. With the drawer open, Loki would spot a blue Key Card.

OOC: Interestingly, at least one of my potential future characters is intended to be a bit of a strategist. And another tends to beat people more by out thinking them than out fighting them.
And I'm trying to encourage strategic thinking from time to time.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Marston arrived at the forest and got off his horse, taking out his rifle and looking around.

 

[Wackymon]

Data makes a sharp right turn, suddenly, and begins to charge forward even faster than before, quickly turning around, and... Falling down, rigid, and completely inert.[hr]
"No," she said, "But you should always at least try, see if you can solve the problem without killing anyone."
