Fri Aug 02 Zero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alright kids, here's the scoop. My nitwit brothers chose this lovely break in things doing to launch an attack in Hong Kong, going for a steel mill. So, Coaster Raptor and I left from watchin our football game to throw down. I'm not sure what happened to Coaster, cause we got spLIt up. Sources tell me along with a healthy RepLIforce contingent, including Jet Stingray showed, and helped clean house. Breeze and Cascade apparently also showed, and to their credit, tusseled with King. And in case I haven't gotten around to it? Welcome to the team guys. Scarfo meanwhile tusseled with Enker, in a battle of the second bananna busters. And I threw down with I'm a poster boy for Tourette's Syndrome Number Man, and Gravity Man after that. They wont be moving all too soon. And by the by. Gravity's informed me he plans openin a Wily-themed park in Africa on his own. So if y'all want to infiltrate down there and gather information, it should be a nice relaxed environment to do so. And Ether, there's free cotton candy opening day. Granted, I expect any attendees to still remain on their guard. It might be fun, but it's still enemy turf. Remember that. Now me, I need to get washed up, and one of our lovely doctors to give me a relaxing overhaul. Toodles. $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/12 Posted Author Atlantis Developments Wed Jul 31 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Activity upon the newly discovered city of Atlantis continues at a frantic pace as we move into the third day after its discovery. Unfortunately, up until this point we have received LIttle official information of late from the Untied Nations regarding this amazing find, although rumors as well as unofficial reports within the city have suggested discoveries that could significantly alter our view of this find." "EarLIer today, Professor Gate released a press statement containing a summary of the discoveries that had been made in the city thus far. According to the Professor and his team, the city of 'Atlantis' is not the ancient mythical city that sank into the seas in antiquity. Instead, it appears that the newly discovered city was the refuge of the Stardroid Neptune, and carbon dating revealed that it has been created only within the last few years." "In addition, while Professor Gate claims that the city has never been 'used' in a capacity that can be discerned, it is still watched over by powerful forces - including a massive guardian that appeared during the investigation of a statue of the Stardroid Neptune last night. It appeared after a member of the research team blew on a massive conch horn that was held by the statue, although it is unknown if its appearance was LInked to the action, or simply disturbing the relative peace of the city." "The Professor reports several odd occurrences - how many areas in the city are fashioned to serve humans, but show no signs of usage. He also sites that are simply created for the sake of appearances, including a LIbrary where ever book was blank. Theories abound about the purpose of the city, but Professor Gate and members of his team speculate that this city is being preserved in case of Neptune's return, so he may again take up residence if he returns to this plant."

Challenge status: Accepted $$$$$$$$$ LIberty Station The highest of modern technology, fortified into a high speed airship, meant for fast response and heavy combat. Which now sits on the bottom of the sea, crippled and unable to again take to the air. The irony is that this weapon of the air is now a gateway to a new world below the waves. Acting as a cork and airlock in the doors of Atlantis, it is the path inside to the forgotten city. Still, even now, the systems of the former airship contiue to run, defenses ready to protect the new city and acting as the main home to many of the explorers and scientists who covet the secrets of the deep.

Ricochet, appropriately, loses another chunk of armor. "Ow." he notes dryly. Silo is back IC. And in alot of pain. Did I mention the pain? He's also missing his left arm and both his legs. Yes, lotsa pain. Fusion Phoenix puts a pain supresser on Silo. Silo is no longer in pain. Spiral Pegasus is still holding the unconscious Rigger, while tossing concerned GLances in Ricochet's direction. "That's it. I'm calLIng a medic over before you turn into a pile of Ricochet parts. Zeus forbid what your mother would think if Orbit started putting you back together again..." Silo is now no longer in pain. But he's injured, oh yes he is. Injured /badly/. Someone should repair him, or get Pris over. LIfesaver idly wanders back in after scooping out Atlantis. He peers about the area known as LIberty Station. He sighs as he hears Spiral. "You rang, Spiral?" he states as he calls upon his clones... Rigger mumbles things about naked Protomen while she's unconcious. ...Not. LIfesaver's image briefly GLows before three LIfesaver(s) appears. Your desc has been changed to 'three-LIfesavers'. Ricochet bLInks, and pales sLIghtly. Orbit takes on a LIttle grin. "*BLOOP BWIP*" Spiral Pegasus's eyes LIght up at the entrance of the LIfesaver Brigade. "Heya doc, sorry to interrupt your fLIght back but we've got a lot of wounded and not enough medics to fix 'em. Silo's taken a beating, Rigger's taking a nap, and Ricochet... well... you can see what's happening." CLInk. "Ow. And I took a shot to the wings to boot." It would be nice to sleep, but the bed is a bit lumpy for some reason and there's an annoying chatter of voices. Not to mention the distant clang of metal which means there's probably work to do. It's that last bit which really begins to make Rigger stir from her fainting spell stubbornly. Her head LIfts before flopping back at the onrush of a dizzying headache. "...gra...hastur? whoshurt?" With her head still tilted back over Spiral's arm she bLInks slowly a time or two as she tries to focus her eyes on something brightly colored nearby. It takes a few moments to filter through to her brain, which then tries to fLIp the image right-side-up to be fully comprehended. There are probably better things to see upon first waking than the decimated bloody corpses of human UN guards. With a choking gurGLe she begins to flail in an attempt to roll out of Spiral's grasp and to her feet. The wrench she'd so steadfastly clung to falls to the ground as her hands come up to cover her mouth instead. LIfesaver nods, "I'll see what I can do..." #1 heads towards Rigger and Spiral, #2 heads over to Silo, while the last one makes Ric his patient. #1 gets out a First Aid kit, and starts to dab at the scars, cuts, etc. on Rigger's body before covering the wounds with a gauze and amount of bandage. "That should help until we get you home," he states as he turns to Spiral to 'finetune' the wings, as well as take care of any damage the Pegasus Reploid hasn't mentioned. #2 regathers Silo's legs and starts reconnecting circuits... not enough that they'll be operating at 100, but this isn't a Medical Center, and LIfey is doing the best he can under the circumstances. #3 proceeds to do some work Ric... provided he keeps still and that Orbit doesn't distract him. Reconnecting Circuit Boards, wires, and switches to bypass damage areas of Ric's Systems. It's Tiring... But then, this is what LIfey does best. Ricochet GLances over to notice Rigger after the thud. Looking reLIeved. "Rigger. You alright?..." he inquires. Orbit GLances over, looking concerned, but not saying anything - not that she could understand him. A sound *THUD* follows his statement - another armor plate. "OW." LIfesaver takes out a medical scanner and scans Rigger.

Spiral Pegasus's wings took the full brunt of a plasma blast, they'll be needing more than just a finetuning. In the meantime, he finds a nice dry place to put the napping Rigger as she's been taken care of. $$$$$$$$$ Maverick Hunter $$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 10/17 Posted Author Gravity Beetle Sat Aug 03 Alpha ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *image of Gravity Beetle in LImited Armor* *text under that* "Maverick. Did not see him in the database." *text under that* "-Alpha" $$$$$$$$$ Spiral Pegasus has disconnected. Rigger is half-napping now, and rather wishing she could go back to being fully napping. A hand remains over her mouth as she gives a stiff nod in reply to Rico. Her eyes don't open again for another several minutes, and when she does she takes care to only look at the reploids currently being worked on. "M'fine. Just got a LIttle LIghtheaded after gaining my frequent flyer miles. You look LIke heck Rico." A GLance is given to Silo as she swallows hard. "Though not as bad as that guy." Silo rests upon a small part of debris, his eyes darting around the room, before focusing on the ruined Kingfisher. He groans upon seeing it, and waits until his systems all powered up before doing some work on the lucky Ride Armor... Silo takes out a medical scanner and scans RepLIforce Variable Armor . Ricochet takes a seat in the hallway, grimmacing as another armor plate falls of. "s'fine." he LIes brilLIantly. "*BLOOP BWIP*" Orbit snorts. "*BWIP BWIP*" Ric suddenly seems... afraid... of that option. "...you wouldn't." "*BWIP*" Orbit grins horribly. Another plate falls off. *THUD* LIfesaver shrugs LIghtly at Rigger, "I'm doing my best without the tools necessary, Rigger." The Brigade has converge on Ric, all three doing what is necessary to get him on his feet -- Resetting of Ric's wires, recailbration of switches and circuits... and of course, trying to weild down those Armor pieces. "No, you're not," LIfey states... as a three person as one could only state. "Silo is okay for now, now we have to make sure you can make it home so the RepLIforce Medics can help you more." Signas arrives from the Atlantis --. Signas has arrived. Ricochet frowns faintly... "...make sure you patch up Orbit, too." He pauses. "Would it be better if I just disengaged my armor? I think it took most of the damage." Rigger remains seated on the floor out of the majority of the way. Her knees are bent and pulled close, though she slumps down between them while covering her mouth with her hand. She's still trying to ignore the smell the murderous rampage in the ship brought about, as well as the sight. Her eyes LIft to look towards her fellow medic with a weak shake of her head. "I wasn't critisizing your work, LIfesaver, just..." Her hand clamps over her mouth again with a gulp. "Just saying." Again her eyes close as she tries to regain her composure. "Give me a minute and I think I can give you a hand with repairs." Silo has disconnected. LIfesaver nods faintly at Ric. "It may be prudent that you do so." He GLances back at Rigger and frowns. //I hope she doesn't have a concussion...// He asks simply, "Are you feeLIng okay, Rigger?" Ricochet pauses... and closes his optics. With a snap-hiss, his armor... falls apart, on the floor, all at once. Apparently he means utterly disengage. The uniform beneath him is blood-stained and covered in mechfluid and small cuts, but if scanned, he's mostly got superficial damage, save for his now-trick knee. "...mom is so gonna kill us." "*BLOOP BWIP*" Orbit, for his part, toddles over to Rigger and plops down in front of her, offering her something soft to scritch if she's so incLIned. They say sometimes it helps with stress. But they also say if you wave a dead cat over your head at midnight it gets rid of warts. Rigger waves a hand in weak protest at LIfesaver's queries, mumbLIng behind the protective cup of her other hand, "M'fine. Just need air." Which she certainly couldn't get down here, which was entirely part of the problem at this rate to begin with. Without even thinking about it really she does indeed reach out to scritch Orbit. Anything for a distraction that didn't include death currently. As much as she would be content to simply stay as she is for now, she did promise to offer help in the work that needs to be done. Partly because she always tries to keep her word, and partly because her rank in the Hunters made her feel even more incLIned to do what she said, she forces herself to relax with one last deep breath through her mouth. Forcing herself to her feet she heads towards Rico to see about his condition.
