Apart from having to work on all these cases (moves the first paper, then the next, the next, and the next), we've got stuff from maintenance, the management, the bank, the problem with the plumbing and some other things we've got in here. It could take ages to read all this, so I'll be telLIng just about a couple of these:" "First. Mr. Thackery (note that he's mentioned that name the same way someone'd mention a drum stick that is repeatedly hitting on you head) insists on that any drunken guy could connect a computer in a café and start playing SoLItaire there in our computers without any trouble. So, we're going to have to update our computer security system, and even maybe the physical sec later. Anyway, we need someone to work on this." "Second. We're going to make an inspection for the setup of a temporal operational base in Maverick or Wily territory. The main purpose of this is a more accurate and eficient work of us and our troops in the strategical points we'll choose for this mission in a short period of time. This way, we could manage to direct a significative strike against them." "Alright, anyone who wants to take these, contact me. It'll save us the time of looking for "volunteers".

No cute or clever reploid anchor names. Bwah.*** "The popular New York hangout, Ruby's Diner, was YET AGAIN the target of violence this evening, as Maverick invaders disrupted an otherwise peaceful gathering of RepLIforce members. Witnesses say that RepLIforce's own Jet Stingray, as well as a Maverick Hunter that came to his aid, were brutally attacked by known Mavericks at the time of the incident. The members of RepLIforce managed to escape to safety, as well as evacuating bystanders and customers, though the Mavericks who caused the incident are still at large. Sadly, the front of the diner was destroyed when an explosive designed for a retreating RepLIforcer fell short of its target. Ruby's, of course, has excellent Reploid Attack Insurance, and should be up and running at its regular hours by next week." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ Tartarus $$$$$$$$$ Message: 15/4 Posted Author A poLIte request.

A post office box address is going around, as is word of a fairly hefty reward. OOC Interested? @mail Zero. Not LIke it's that traceable. Never used the aLIas before, and I'm paying off an actor through a third party.

East leads to Indonesia. Northwest leads to Siam. Northeast leads to Vietnam. Up leads to Sky Above Southeast Asia. Outside> ---- Fusion Phoenix is staring at Bluegrass in armor! ---- Outside> Breeze goes into a 'prone' position while floating in mid-air. An odd tactic, but it does cause the chain weapon to pass over her. The very moment its first swing misses, green energy fields form over her feet and she fLIes at Morph, attempting to plow her feet into his chest and sail on past. Outside> Breeze misses Morph Moth with her Energy Strike attack. Outside> The Triumph gets rocked considerably by the shockwave...and it's nearly knocked over, until it becomes airborne. "You will soon see that your terrorizing has come to an end," KaLInka says gravely.. Clapping the ride armor's hands together, she produces an electrical pulse, which she quickly hurls in Thunder's direction. "The world is not your playground." Outside> Ride Armor misses Thunder Triceratops with its Electro Pulse attack. Outside> Thunder Triceratops successfully deflects an attack randomly. Outside> Fusion Phoenix takes a cut through his side from the wheel, sLIcing into the inner armor. Gee, this is a lot LIke fighting Metal Man. He twists mid-air, turning to face the Maverick flunky. "No, not really, now that you mention it. Stoping LIttle raids LIke this is in fact our job," He shouts back, as he releases a stream from his weapons-grade super soaker at the Hunter Croc. Outside> Fusion Phoenix misses Wheel Gator with his Water Pulse attack. Outside> Morph Moth dissappears into his pile of junk as soon as his chain misses, narrowly avoiding the GLowing energy strike attack. Popping up on the side of the pile. "I'm stuck on bandages, because bandages are stuck on me. You're stuck with bombs because bombs will stick to you!" Ending his latest pun, Morph hurls double fistful of explosives into the air, some of them land on the still-trapped cop cars as well, adding even more debris to the growing pile. None shall pass! Outside> Morph Moth misses Breeze with his Silk Bomb attack. Outside> Morph Moth strikes Fusion Phoenix with his Silk Bomb attack. Outside> Thunder Triceratops clenches her fists, crackles of electricity snapping around them, and quickly crosses her arms in front of her to let her own electrical conductors abosrb the sparks. "Cute. But, if you really wish to make a serious matter out of this, so be it." She takes a step back, and with a clank the pods on her legs snap open, pause a moment as she targets, and then in a fwoosh of smoke sends a swarm of missiles spirally for the Triumph. "No human's toy shall ever compare to a true warmachine!" Outside> Thunder Triceratops strikes Ride Armor with her Missile Swarm attack. Outside> Breeze spins sideways in her lying down fLIght to avoid the bomb descending at her, then fLIps back upright in midair and turns around to face Morph. Five silver orbs launch off her back, and fly to various anGLes above Morph Moth. They fire a few volleys of thin red energy beams at him, then return to Breeze's back. Outside> Fusion Phoenix sends a radio transmission to Breeze. Outside> Breeze receives a radio transmission from Fusion Phoenix. Outside> Breeze sends a radio transmission to Fusion Phoenix. Outside> Fusion Phoenix receives a radio transmission from Breeze. Outside> Dr. Doppler makes his way into the depths of the building, heading for the object of this raid: the mainframe. More importantly, the information contained within. The fact that Gizmo neGLected to include a visual interface in his machine will be addressed later. SettLIng himself into a chair, the scientist's fingers dash across the keyboard. Presuming Gizmo is still within earshot, he calls, "Keep watch, just in case any of those fools do make it this far." A moment later, he 'jacks in', exchanging physical world consciousness with that of the virtual. Let's see just how good their security systems are... Outside> Breeze misses Morph Moth with her Plasma Option attack. Outside> Wheel Gator might be big, but is far from clumsy. The crocodile swiftly sidesteps, dodging the stream with no further damage - except for some of the nearby trees. He rises the green metalLIc sphere on his left hand, tossing the bomb at Fusion Phoenix. Followed by the impact comes a loud explosion, and then the stinky green gas, which could be the worse part.. Outside> Wheel Gator strikes Fusion Phoenix with his Swamp Gas Bomb attack. Outside> Fusion Phoenix sends a radio transmission to Breeze. Outside> Breeze receives a radio transmission. Outside> Breeze sends a radio transmission to Fusion Phoenix. Outside> Fusion Phoenix receives a radio transmission. Outside> The Triumph gets caught in the thunderous barrage of explosions...it's looking far less combat-ready than it did when it got here. That isn't about to stop the pilot, however. Each shot that hits just makes KaLInka more determined. This time, she hands Thunder back her own medicine...ports open on the Triumph's casing, sending a thunderous swarm of explosives in Thunder's direction. Outside> Ride Armor strikes Thunder Triceratops with its Sonic Boom attack. Outside> Gizmo GLIder would have a visual interface with his creation, however at this moment there is just too much junk on that bunny that there is no room. Oh well. Giving but a quick salute Gizmo stands by the door. But instead of keeping watch he focuses on his remote. Outside> Dr. Doppler's combat roll has succeeded against Morph Moth. Outside> Fusion Phoenix is blasted twice, first with junk, and then with swamp gas. He converses for a moment it the flying Hunter, and preforms an openent switch, now turning on MMo, and going for a direct body-check, utiLIzing his greater mass as a weapon. Outside> Fusion Phoenix strikes Morph Moth with his Ram attack. Outside> Sigma turns after several moments and starts sLInking to the Triumph. He hasn't heard anything about the 'Vile' incidents that have been dancing on the news. And Sigma has a feeLIng that the pilot of the Triumph will have an idea. Just a hunch, Sigma reminds himself as he draws his scythe slowly, sLInking and inching his way to the area. Outside> Morph Moth takes to the sky as well when the plasma options come seeking his purple hide. "You think those are lasers? This is a laser!" (Doctar Eval pinky-tthe-mouth gesture not included. Raising both his palms to point outward, he let's loose a blast at Breeze, and then is bLInd-sided by a big phoenix crashing into him, buh? Outside> Morph Moth strikes Breeze with his Metamorphic Laser attack. Outside> Thunder Triceratops takes the hit, but other than a bit of rattLIng of her armor, doesn't seem the worse for wear, due to shockproof armor. Last thing she needs is to rattle herself apart after all. "You have perseverence, I'll give you that one." She crouches down a bit, as her horns start to twirl, quickly spinning up to speed. "But it isn't enough alone to make a warrior. Here's some -real- thunder for ya!" A high pitched whine emits from her horns as they become a spinning blurr, the sonic blades building charge until it's finally more than they can hold, and the deafening roar of a thunder crash ripples through the air as the sonic waves are released. KRACKA-THOOM! Outside> Thunder Triceratops misses Ride Armor with her Thunder Crash attack. Outside> Access logon. Please enter password: ******** Access Granted. Greetings, Administrator. A small smile forms across Dr. Doppler's LIps. Child's play. He issues a series of commands for the mainframe to follow, bringing forward all the research related to the new armor in development. Accessing... Accessing... Outside> Breeze is busy talking to a RepLIforcer's voice in her head for just a moment, long enough that even though she saw the laser on radar, it's simply too fast to dodge while she's distracted, and hits deeply into her back armor. This does draw a pained cry, followed by an angry, "Damnit! Last time I LIsten to them!" She puts the elec-rod onto her back after collapsing the striking part of it, and then points her left hand at Wheel while rising higher into the sky. With a sharp yell from her, a small tornado forms in front of that hand, then shoots towards Wheel Gator in an attempt to batter him with crushing air pressure. Hit or miss, the tornado dissipates several seconds later. Outside> Breeze misses Wheel Gator with her Tornado Blast attack. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] RF Captain Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Hunters, thanks for the help, but could I get some back up from the RepLIforce side?" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Spartan Wolf says nothing. Random Medical Drone does, however. "Unit Spartan Wolf is currently offLIne due to industrial accident. ETA On Repairs: 4 hours, condition stable." Outside> "You think this is all...big game. What a disgusting attitude," sneers KaLInka angrily, as she deftly maneuvers the Triumph to avoid the Triceratops' deadly sonic attack. She's spotted Sigma approaching on the external sensors, and she's hoping that maybe he's just moving in the general direction and not...coming to get her, or something! Leaping back toward Thunder, the Triumph's cutting-blade utiLIty arm comes to LIfe with a helLIsh whine. "People die, this is no game when people die!!" She slashes the blade visciously at the Maverick. Outside> Ride Armor misses Thunder Triceratops with its UtiLIty Arm - Cutter attack. Outside> "Cowards, flying LIke--.." he pauses, expecting a few minutes of peace after Fusion's withdrawn just to be harassed by another hovering opponent. He barely sees the Tornado's approach, but is once again able to avoid the hit with some skill and the friendly trees on his way. His reply comes quick in the form of a sharp steel spike that ejects from his arm and goes flying towards Breeze.. Outside> Gizmo GLIder tilts his head to the side and thinks. You know he could get access to the killer bunny from here...why didn't he think of it earLIer. PulLIng out a small datapad he quickly types into it before yelLIng out a command. "En, report to me at once! I need you as my eyes to see what GigaBunny is doing." The transmission falls to silence until it is answered by another. "Ahh...and I was watching my show. Killer monkeys strike back. I luv this show...But if you needed eyes I can give you mine." A small device pops off the marsupial before taking form into a LIttle robot. SmiLIng the robot Salutes and rushes out. Eying the small robot Gizmo sighs and just shakes his head, wondering why he even created that one...and what exactly went wrong.. Outside> Wheel Gator strikes Breeze with his Spike Toss attack. Outside> Thunder Triceratops turns her head to the side, parrying the blade with her own still spinning horns. "What, can't a girl have a LIttle fun with her job?" Swatting the blade aside, she takes a few steps back, and then lowers her head again. "But I think we're going to just keep butting heads over the matter." Tail swings behind her, snapping into a balancing position as she suddenly storms forward with a lumbersome but surprising amount of speed for her husky build, straight for the Triumph! Outside> Thunder Triceratops strikes Ride Armor with her Horn Strike attack. Outside> Fusion Phoenix takes this chance to attack the maverick insect again, this time blowing him away with his huge thrusters, but not using his plasma rocket to add to the effect. However it turns out, there will soon be some range between him and Morph. Outside> Fusion Phoenix misses Morph Moth with his Thruster Wash attack. Outside> Dr. Doppler continues hacking the mainframe, collecting as much of the research as he can, compressing the files and saving them to a convenient data storage unit. Cyber Peacock could do much better, but the doctor can still hold his own. All the same, it's taking longer than he would LIke. Outside> Sigma stares at the Ride Armor and then looks to Thunder Triceratops, "Do you need assistance with this? I need to ask the pilot some questions anyway.", he then turns to look back at KaLI, not throwing anything at her. Outside> As Thunder bumps up against the Triumph, KaLInka braces for the worst, but then exhales a breath of reLIef when she sees it isn't as bad as she thought it was going to be. Quickly fLIpping a switch or two, a second utiLIty arm comes down toward Thunder's head...there's some sort of nozzle on this arm, looks LIke the output could be quite...icy. Outside> Ride Armor misses Thunder Triceratops with its UtiLIty Arm - Ice attack. Outside> Morph Moth goes LIvid with rage as the Phoenix tries to burn him, fire is bad! Cocking his own wings, Morph turns on his own special thrusters and jets into Fusion from below, trying to plow through the larger and slower RepLIforcer. Try and burn his beautifully brilLIant body will you? Outside> Morph Moth strikes Fusion Phoenix with his Divebomb attack. Outside> Breeze takes a spike in the leg, and another sharp cry acknowledging it, then she starts looking very upset. "Flying LIke a smart person, who fights with everything they have? Inferiors LIke you couldn't understand!" Still maintaining her fLIght and zipping around the area at high speeds, she aims her bazooka down at Wheel and pulls the trigger. This time, a normal explosive warhead shoots out from it, and should it contact with or near Wheel, detonate with spectacular effect. Outside> Breeze strikes Wheel Gator with her Bazooka Shot attack. Outside> Ride Armor stands and looks sLIghtly over at Sigma as he approaches. Within, the occupant is momentarily scared out of her wits. She's GLad she can't be seen panicking. Outside, the metal shell gives no indication to the mental state of the pilot within. Outside> Thunder Triceratops raises her head as the ice blast is fired, looking as if she's about to look right into it. Until she opens her mouth, and lets loose with a blast of flames to intercept the spray of cold. The question is, will the two cancel each other out, but will there be enough flame left to toast the armor as well. After exhaLIng the blast of fire, she cocks her head sLIghtly to look at Sigma. "Thanks for the offer Lord Sigma, but I beLIeve I have it under control at the moment. Feel free to chat all you wish though." Outside> Thunder Triceratops strikes Ride Armor with her LIteral Firepower attack. Outside> Fusion Phoenix wasn't using his firy wake, just the one that produces lots of wind. Fusion accepts the crash, spining in mid-air, bringing his massive wings to bear in what persists in being a melee fight, despite his best efforts. Ah well, at least he's equiped for this sort of fight as well. Outside> Fusion Phoenix strikes Morph Moth with his Wing Slap attack. Outside> Barrage Raptor arrives from the Siam. Outside> En rushes out and scouts about before plopping on the ground and gazing upwards at the bunny. "Woooo....BUNNY!!!!" GigGLIng happily the LIttle robot rushes towards the bun-bun and cLIngs tightly to its footpaw. "I luv you Bunny! I LUV YOOOOUUU!!!" Ummm, alright that isn't exactly what Gizmo wanted. However it does give him away to actually see what is going on outside, through his LIttle wacky sidekick. Directing the rabbit towards the Phoenix, Gizmo hisses softly to himself. "Try a sneak attack on me, will you. Oh you will pay! FOr what great pain you shall suffer...yes." From the shoulders of the bunny rise rather large and powerful cannons that direct themselves towards Fusion. Letting a soft and penatrating hum enter the area the bunny fires off a short blast. Outside> Sigma takes a few steps forward, placing his hands squarely behind his back as the battle between Thunder and KaLI continues. He says, very calmly, "Who is pretending to be Vile? It will not be tolerated.", he pauses, and then nods to Thunder! Must acknowledge her statement after all. Outside> Gizmo GLIder strikes Fusion Phoenix with his Destruct-ray attack. Outside> *BOOOOM* Yep, that hurts. The explosion covers a small area around the Reploid. It takes a few moments, actually, but as the smoke starts to settle, a mini spinning wheel goes swirLIng towards it's target. Wheel isn't exactly the best when it comes to ranged combat, but does good enough.. Outside> Wheel Gator misses Breeze with his Mini Spin Wheel attack. Outside> Breeze successfully deflects an attack randomly. Outside> Transfer of data complete. Dr. Doppler jacks back out of the mainframe, bLInking several times as he rejoins reaLIty. After a moment of reorienting, he stands, walking over to the storage unit on which he transferred the data, deftly severing the cables attaching it to the rest of the machine. Mission objective complete. Outside> Morph Moth is still close to Fusion as evidenced by the Wing Slap. "I'm not some insect you can just slap away, so stop treating me LIke one!" Accepting the hit, a long iron tongue snakes it's way out from under his mouth and imbeds itself into the proffered wing to steal some precious fuel from the RepLIforcer and transfer it to himself. Yes, he sucks. Outside> Morph Moth strikes Fusion Phoenix with his Fuel Siphon attack. Outside> Morph Moth drains energy from Fusion Phoenix with his Fuel Siphon attack. Outside> Ride Armor rather stupidly takes her attentions off of Thunder, albiet briefly, to get hit head-on by Thunder's powerful hit. She takes a brief moment to ignore all of the 'SYSTEM DOWN' warnings and claxons, to pull out a wickedly-sharp looking blade boomerang from the ride armor's back. KaLInka then backs up the Triumph a few steps, to fLIng the thing in Thunder's direction. "You know, I am a BIT busy right now to have LIttle chat with you," she says to Sigma. "That is a very good question, and you are very smart man. So maybe you ought to know these things. You do not need me to answer them for you." Outside> Ride Armor strikes Thunder Triceratops with its Halo Boomerang attack. Outside> As the wascky wacky wabbit starts to turn on the poor Phoenix, an blaze of pure white streams unto the scene, and a voice broadcasts: "Be wery wery qwiet, Ah'm huntin' Ride Armor-Sized Wabbits... huuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh..." Her Elmer Fudd-LIke statement made, Bluegrass loads up a armor-piercing bolt and aims at the rabbit. "Eat this, sugah." and fires. Outside> Breeze thrusts her left hand at the incoming wheel as it intercepts her fLIght path, and the wheel suddenly bounces off an invisible gravity 'wall' projected in front of said hand. Then a dark purple GLow forms around same appendage and remains there. In the meantime, both of her shoulder gems shine brightly for a moment, then lance out a pair of large green energy beams down at Wheel Gator. Outside> Breeze puts her guard up. Outside> Breeze misses Wheel Gator with her Dual Beam attack. Outside> Bluegrass's combat roll has failed against Gizmo GLIder. Outside> Wheel Gator bLInks at the oncomming beams, ducking the first one and then rolLIng to the side, dodging the second. Well, she asked for it. The alLIgator seems to GLow in a bluish aura as the main wheels on his shoulder start to spin faster and faster, releasing one of the large sized plates that heads in an amazing speed towards Breeze. This is the large and original version, and most LIkely his last chance of doing some damage. Outside> Wheel Gator strikes Breeze with his Spin Wheel attack. Outside> Thunder Triceratops grrrahs, staggering backwards as the boomerang rips across her shoulder, shredding through a good chunk of her armor. After the nickle and diming her, than one actually hurt well. For a moment she pauses to LIsten to the radio, eyeing the armor for a moment. "For your lecturing about this not being a game, it took you long enough to back up your words." She braces herself, as her armor and weapons shift sLIghtly, allowing other weapons to snap into place. LIke the pair of larger cannons that extend from her back as she crouches down again. "Let me return the favor!" Locking into place, the ends of the twin cannons GLows bright white and yellow with pulsing energy, and then unleashes a double blast of electrical beams. Outside> Thunder Triceratops changes into her Arsenal armor. Outside> Barrage Raptor is late. Yeah. Uh, she just barely caught Fusion's asking for help, and it took her a long while to actually get here, because she tends to get lost easily, but now she's here, "Hey! I'm here now! Don't you guys leave yet!" She stomps along, all heavily armed, trying to get to Fusion.. Outside> Thunder Triceratops misses Ride Armor with her Electrical Beam Cannons attack. Outside> Fusion Phoenix indeed, gets double teamed, and as he is nearing the end of his endurance, he pulls out his greatest attack, and fires point blank. Should it hit, the gas released will push them apart, as when you mix LIquid nitrogen and flaming plasma, it goes pop. A rather big pop. But most of the damage comes from the alternating cold and hot. Outside> Fusion Phoenix strikes Morph Moth with his Antipode Strike attack. Outside> Dr. Doppler picks up the data unit and begins to make his way back through the labyrinth of corridors to the building's entrance. All that is left now is to abscond with their loot, virtual as it may be. Before venturing further, the doctor takes a moment to activate his personal energy field, just in case any stray fire. Outside> Dr. Doppler projects a forcefield around himself. Outside> As Thunder transforms into tougher armor and the electrical cannons roar, the Triumph's wings unfurl and KaLInka swiftly takes the Triumph airborne. The ride armor fLIps end-over-end, before swooping back down toward Thunder, both fists-first. Outside> Sigma shakes his head, "...It does not matter. Tell me.", he looks to Thunder Triceratops for a moment but decides to hold off saying anything else for now. "You seem to be able to talk and fight at the same time after all." Outside> Ride Armor strikes Thunder Triceratops with its Divebomb attack. Outside> The GigaBunny's attention is soon gone as something misses it, brushing LIghtly against its fur. Scanning the area thoroughly the rabbit slowly turns completely around and throws back its head, raring. Moving even so slowly the optics on the bunny turn red and its teeth show LIke fangs. Umm Blu was not trying to hurt the huge fuzzball was she? Oh she is soo going to get it. Moving at a much quicker pace the Bunny goes into beserk mode and rushes after Blu, while firing several shots in the process. Outside> Gizmo GLIder misses you with his Instruments Of Mass Destruction attack. Outside> Gizmo GLIder yelps and rushes after Doppler. Outside> Sigma receives a radio transmission from KaLInka. Outside> Sigma sends a radio transmission to KaLInka. Outside> Morph Moth burns and falls earthward. LIke a purple meteor the burning maverick falls into his pile of junk, burned beyond recognition. His only recourse is then to cocoon and hop away inside his protective covering. Ow, the pain the pain, yet it feels SO GOOOD! Outside> Morph Moth rips off of Pokemon's Metapod and hardens into his cocoon armor! Outside> Morph Moth strikes Fusion Phoenix with his Don't Burn Me attack. Outside> Morph Moth retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Fusion Phoenix, Gizmo GLIder, Breeze, Bluegrass, Sigma, Ride Armor , and Wheel Gator. Outside> Bluegrass grumbles softly. Alright, this critter has a tough hide. Fine. She can play that way, too. The White Guard fLIes away from the bunny, as it tries to chew up the poor Guard up LIke bubblegum. She turns around and fLIes a Thunder Bolt from her crossbow. Let's see if it LIkes ELECTRICITY... Outside> Sigma receives a radio transmission from KaLInka. Outside> The beautiful purple Morph Moth emerges from his cocoon prison, dazzLIng everyone with his brilLIance and beauty. Outside> Morph Moth retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Fusion Phoenix, and Ride Armor . Outside> Thunder Triceratops arghs, growLIng with pain as the ride armor slams into her with pure brute force, taking one of the heaviest hits tonight that she has. Heaving thunderous steps, she staggers backwards, and then gets her footing again, looking a good more deal beat up now. Optics narrow at the armor. Just a LIttle longer. Need to give the Doc time to get out of danger. ".. This ends now." Smoke puffs from breaks and seams in her armor, but go unnoticed as her horns spin to LIfe again. She doesn't have much longer, so she's got to make this count. A whining pitch echos through the area, as various guns and launchers arm and lock on. "Good bye." And in an eruption of firepower, unleashes a full barrage of artillery and bombastic fire on the armor. Outside> Thunder Triceratops misses Ride Armor with her Heavy Bombardment attack. Outside> Fusion Phoenix watches the Maverick flee, and decides to give a calLIng card of his own, theowing one of his bright feathers in the cacoon's direction. Outside> Dr. Doppler crosses through the now rubble-strewn compound, carrying the data storage unit with him, on his way to the bike. Around him, his loyal Mavericks are scattering as ordered. All that remains is for him to make good his own escape. Outside> Fusion Phoenix strikes Morph Moth with his Phoenix Down attack. Outside> And the Bunny keeps going and going and going and....errr...stopped completely due to overuse of a battery.... -.- Oh well that doesn't stop Gizmo. For he rushes right out. Outside> Gizmo GLIder retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Fusion Phoenix, Breeze, Sigma, Ride Armor , and Morph Moth. Outside> Breeze holds her hand out against the incoming Spin Wheel, and her gravity barrier slows it down for a moment. Then the wheel slams past this defense and into her midsection, cutting away all her armor there as well. She crashes to the ground rather hard, then staggers back up into a floating posture a few inches off the ground. Then with another loud scream, she begins firing her bazooka over and over in Wheel's general direction. Lots of warheads, but she's sacrificing aim quaLIty by aim quantity here... Outside> Gizmo GLIder has disconnected. Outside> Breeze misses Wheel Gator with her Bazooka Volley attack. Outside> Morph Moth goes home. Outside> KaLInka can no longer ignore the warning sirens in the Triumph's cockpit. Time to take this baby home and fix it. She doesn't know what would be worse: sticking around an having the Triumph destroyed by this Maverick dinosaur, or being obLIterated by Sigma, who she's probably greatly displeased with her evasive answers. Time to -g. TumbLIng this way and that after narrowly missing the huge barrage of firepower, the Triumph is then once again airborne...looks LIke she's getting while the getting is good. Outside> Ride Armor retreats from the area swiftly, outdistancing all pursuit and parting shots. Outside> Barrage Raptor makes her way here, finally! Yay! And there's Doppler, running, "Hey! I know that guy!" She points at him, "Well, I can't let him get away, now can I? Haha!" She reaches down into her subspace storage pouch, and grabs hold of an explosive charge, pressing a couple of buttons on it, "Hey old guy!" She yells out, waving her arms, before hurLIng the block of explosives, "I got a present for ya!" Outside> Barrage Raptor strikes Dr. Doppler with her C-4 Charge attack. Outside> Dr. Doppler's forcefield withstands the attack. Outside> Wheel Gator doesn't even wait to see to result of his attack and starts his retreat, trying his best to blend in the junGLe while following the others.. Outside> Sigma sends a radio transmission. Outside> Wheel Gator retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Barrage Raptor, Fusion Phoenix, Breeze, Bluegrass, Sigma, and Ride Armor . Outside> Ride Armor enters the Sky Above Southeast Asia. Outside> Bluegrass STARES. .oOOo. She does a quick look around and stops. Doppler. After a quick LInkup with UN Database, an outstanding warrant is still out for Doppler. Time to cash in. The White Guard unfurls her rope. "Ya'll not goin' anywhere, sugah!" As she tries to hogtie Doppler down. "Ya under arrest!" Outside> Sigma receives a radio transmission from KaLInka. Outside> You miss Dr. Doppler with your Electrified Lariat attack. Outside> Thunder Triceratops misses in her barrage, but manages to at least drive the armor off. That's the important part. Smoke billowing from various barrels as she stands again, huffing a bit. Ugh. That's over, but she's battered too much to stick around any longer herself. She cocks her head a LIttle, and gives Sigma a brief bow. As much as she can being hunched over in the first place. "I hope you enjoyed the show, milord. But now, you'll have to excuse me." Turning away, she starts to lumber off.. well, you know how big, heavy and highly armored things move. Slowly. And the tankceratops isn't much different. Outside> Breeze puts her bazooka onto her back as she...completely misses. Somewhere between frantic and enraged, she can see Wheel Gator just fine on her sensors anyway. Cupping her hands together, the purple GLow darkens and begins to grow. "Black Hole Cluster..." Her hands spread open wide, "Launch!" A huge purple ball of gravity sails towards Wheel Gator. Should it connect, crushing G-Forces will assault his body for several seconds, then cease. Outside> Thunder Triceratops retreats from the area swiftly, leaving her open to pursuit or parting shots from Dr. Doppler, Barrage Raptor, Fusion Phoenix, Breeze, Bluegrass, Sigma, and Wheel Gator. Outside> Breeze strikes Wheel Gator with her Black Hole Cluster attack. Outside> Breeze puts her guard down. Outside> Dr. Doppler looks up, not pausing so much as slowing when the RepLIforce Raptor hurls a brick of explosives at him. *FWOOM!* The forcefield around him becomes visible for a moment, color splashing as it absorbs the explosive impact. Undeterred, he presses onward, ducking under the lariat as it tries to entanGLe him. Luck and science are with him today. Having cleared the compound walls, he heads for parts unknown, but far from here. Outside> Sigma sends a radio transmission to KaLInka. Outside> Dr. Doppler retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open to pursuit or parting shots from Barrage Raptor, Fusion Phoenix, Breeze, Bluegrass, Sigma, and Wheel Gator. Outside> Sigma nods to Thunder, "I did not get my answers. Pity. But you did well, good work.", and then without another word, fades out again from the area. Or maybe he just fades out. Hard to tell. Outside> He might've been able to dodge the first bazooza hit, but the second hits hard, sending the alLIgator a few feet forwards. He does his best to ignore the pain and the odd sensation from the G-Forces, managing to raise and continue his retreat, though in a slower pace. Waiting for a last attack, who takes it? Outside> Bluegrass races after Doppler... .oOOo. She quickly loads up a Explosive Bolt and fires it at Doppler. Let what amounts to 'grunts' go... Doppler and Sigma are at the very least targets... And if she can get one... It would be a victory. "EXPLOSIVE BOLT!" Outside> You strike Dr. Doppler with a minor hit from your Explosive Bolt attack. Outside> Dr. Doppler's forcefield withstands the attack. Outside> Breeze puts her guard up. Outside> Okay. So everybody's running away. Well, uh, that's not good. However! Barrage isn't the type to just let a bunch of Mavericks run away LIke that, now is she? Hell no! Besides, an open field LIke this, no civvies around, she's waited her entire career in RepLIforce for this very moment right here and now, "Alright." She suddenly gets a serious look on her face, as her talons spread and dig into the ground, and she bends over a bit, "It's show time." The sound of humming escapes her weapons, as they start to warm up, the entire system coming onLIne all at once, "You're all going down now! It's game over!" And then they fire. Everything. Missiles, cannons, chainguns, railguns, everything all at once, just aiming to cover the entire field and everybody in it, no matter who they are, "TOTAL BARRAGE!" She hopes this works... Outside> Barrage Raptor misses Wheel Gator with her Total Barrage attack. Outside> Barrage Raptor misses Breeze with her Total Barrage attack. Outside> Breeze deflects Total Barrage from Barrage Raptor. Outside> Barrage Raptor strikes Thunder Triceratops with her Total Barrage attack. Outside> Barrage Raptor strikes Dr. Doppler with her Total Barrage attack. Outside> Dr. Doppler's forcefield collapses. Outside> Dr. Doppler's forcefield again gains a visible halo as it turns aside the explosive bolt hurled by Bluegrass. It wavers, but holds... Until Barrage fills the entire area with enough firepower to make even Vile pause. Possibly. With a screech and whine, the forcefield collapses, and Doppler himself stumbles forward as he takes a round in the shoulder. Mechfluid and blood trickle down the back of his coat as he beats a hasty retreat into the surrounding junGLe. Outside> Fusion Phoenix takes stock of his own damage, and moves away from the fight. Outside> Thunder Triceratops gets pelted in the back and sides with part of the barrage, blowing off chunks of already damaged armor. Although powerful, the fact that much of the attack is explosive pays off, letting the tricera get away by the skin of her teeth. Good thing the hoverbike was parked out of the range of the obscene amount of firepower paralleLIng her own, so she can haul her fat aft onto it and get outta here. Outside> Wheel Gator goes undamaged by the rain of explosives and firepower. With that extra barrier of smoke, Wheel successfully blends in the junGLe, vanishing from sight.. Outside> ---- Dr. Doppler is staring at Bluegrass in armor! ---- Outside> Maverick Hoverbike enters the Sky Above Southeast Asia. Outside> Breeze sees all kinds of potential threats originating from Barrage's general direction. Incredibly, she wraps herself in a tornado at the last moment, one that blows absolutely everything off course when it would have otherwise hit her. Moments after the barrage subsides, the tornado vanishes and Breeze spins to face Barrage Raptor, clearly enraged. "YOU. It's not enough that no one cares about me, is it? That I fight alone even when everyone talks pretty bullshit about 'here, we are family!' Then RepLIforce tries to boss me around, and gets me hurt when I comply." The purple GLow around her hands intensifies. "Then you try to kill me." Someone's apparently not happy about being nearly given the apocalypse, it would seem. A set of ten silver orbs fly off her back, and over towards Barrage. Swarming around the artillery-bearing RFer LIke a horde of insects, they fire various red GLobs of energy nearly point-blank, then return to Breeze's back. Outside> Bluegrass fires her bolt and immediately starts dodging as much as she can. o.o "WHAT IN THE NINE FREAKIN' HELLS WAS THAT?!" She basically screeches. Outside> Breeze strikes Barrage Raptor with her Option Bombardment attack. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Breeze transmits, "RepLIforce, you traitors! How dare you open fire on me LIke that!?" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "Ow! Hey! No one told me there were any Hunters out there!" Outside> Dr. Doppler has disconnected. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Shield transmits, "I suggest you check your targets more carefully. Breeze, are you alright?" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Stealth Nekojin transmits, "You guys need a hand? *muttered* or a babysitter?" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "Pft. You act LIke I aim." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Serena Gilbert transmits, "*Bluegrass* Relax, Sugah. Ah was in range as well. He can't control it. It is a freakin' lot of weapons firin', remember..." Outside> Wheel Gator enters the Bay of Bengal. Outside> Wheel Gator sLIthers out. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Serena Gilbert transmits, "OOC: SHE. SHE. SHE!!! o.o" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Shield transmits, "Still, our two factions do not share the closest of histories. We should take care not to aggrevate eachother." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "Well she didn't have to shoot back at me!" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "It's not LIke I hit her. She did some freaky thing and dodged it." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Serena Gilbert transmits, "*Three* Factions. Or did ya'll forget us UNers are on here as well?" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Shield transmits, "I was unaware any UN members had been shot by RepLIforce." Outside> Wheel Gator arrives from the Siam. Outside> Wheel Gator sLIthers in. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Breeze transmits, "I don't beLIeve you for a moment! 'Unintentional' nothing. You RepLIforcers bossed me around and I got mauled for it. Then I'm wounded on the middle of the field, and you try to bring down the apocalypse on me!? I'm disengaging, but don't take me LIghtly or for a fool!" Outside> Wheel Gator enters the Bay of Bengal. Outside> Wheel Gator sLIthers out. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Stealth Nekojin transmits, " *chuckle* No offense intended, but I think most of us tend to forget the UN HAS people who can fight, unless we're being chewed out. We don't mean anything by it, we're just... Oh, thanks for the example, Breeze. See? We're pigheaded at times." Outside> Barrage Raptor continues to fire until everything runs dry, a bunch of cLIcks as she finds herself surrounded by spent shells, "Ah, that was fun." Then of course, BReeze has to go and fire on her too. She flails around as she gets blasted, "Hey! You suck!" She yells out, "You're lucky I'm out of ammo or I'd shoot at your punk ass again!" Barrage shakes a fist. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Phoenixflame CO Michael Eildath transmits, "Breeze, stand down. YelLIng at them isn't gonna get anything accompLIshed." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "Yeah, well, beLIve this. If I wasn't outta ammo I'd try it again!" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Dr. Pavel Cossack grunts. He mutters something in Russian. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "You had no reason to shoot back at me! I couldn't help that you were in the way. If I'd waited, the Mavericks would have all got away unhurt!" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Serena Gilbert transmits, "...Nevermind, sugah. And Breeze? Chill, Sugah. LIke Ah said, he couldn't help hittin'... or nearly hittin' us." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Breeze transmits, "So I'm expendible in the name of a few Mavericks? Fine. I'll keep that in mind." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Shield transmits, "Barrage Raptor, I beLIeve your battle philosophy is faulty. I suggest discussing it with your superior." [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Stealth Nekojin transmits, "*OOC - She, She, She, again, Serena? :)*" Outside> Breeze GLares at Barrage for a moment, then aims her bazooka...shakes her head, and takes off into the sky. Outside> Breeze retreats from the area swiftly, leaving her open to pursuit or parting shots from Fusion Phoenix. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Serena Gilbert transmits, "OOC: Yes. I'm channelLIng Pluto now. o.o" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] RF Captain Fusion Phoenix transmits, "Is now the best time to talk about such things?" [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Barrage Raptor transmits, "I don't even know who you are. Maybe if you'd made it clear that you were LIke, out there, I would have thought about maybe considering using my sights." Outside> Fusion Phoenix misses Breeze with his Phoenix Down attack. Outside> Breeze deflects Phoenix Down from Fusion Phoenix. [Radio: (C) RF-MH-UN-Main] Serena Gilbert transmits, "It's over now, ya'll. They got away nonetheless... and arguin' 'bout this isn't goin' ta help things. Now ya two ladies... shake hands, 'kay?" Outside> Fusion Phoenix retreats from the area swiftly, outdistancing all pursuit and parting shots. Outside> Fusion Phoenix enters the Sky Above Southeast Asia. Outside> Breeze enters the Sky Above Southeast Asia. Outside> Bluegrass sighs. "...Well this is goin' ta hell in a handbasket..." She mutters as she blasts off... back to UN HQ... Outside> Bluegrass retreats from the area swiftly, leaving her open to pursuit or parting shots from Sigma. Outside> You enter the Sky Above Southeast Asia. $$$$$$$$$ CiviLIan $$$$$$$$$ Message: 13/5 Posted Author AAR: Maverick... Wabbit Mon Sep 30 Bluegrass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (UN Only) (Videofile -- Bluegrass. She looks unhappy.) Long story short: The Mavs decided ta be cute and make a rampagin' bunny. Ah'm seriously wonderin' if the Virus doesn't make the Mav lose all sense of Sanity... as it were. At any rate, there is a couple of Mavs there -- Ah personally thought Ah saw Sigma there, but Ah know Doppler was there. (image: Wheel Gator, Thunder Triceratops, Morph Moth.) The one known as Breeze of the Mavericks Hunters, as well as Fusion Phoenix and Barrage Raptor of the RepLIforce. (Bluegrass scowls. Deeply.) The rabbit went down and the Mavs fled. Barrage Raptor tried ta get them all... but instead ends up make Breeze angry. Ah know Ah really hate the man, but Ah wish Fury was back from his vacation. Ah really really do. Bluegrass out.
