United Nations Building Individuals entering the UN building tend to remark favorably on the open atrium space that is carved out of the rest of the UN building LIke a sLIce of an orange. Advanced construction techniques allows LIght to fall freely through the curved `ceiLIng' into this part of the building, allowing the variety of plants and greenery within to flourish in natural sunLIght. Wide, staggered concrete paths allow traffic to flow at a quick pace through the atrium into the UN building itself. Along the way, a visitor passes by not only beautifully maintained gardens, but also by several security checkpoints, a host of sensors and cameras and several conspicuous armed guards. All in all, a very pretty and functional design -- but with a definite eye towards security. There will be no April Fools here.

The buildings here are much larger than the other shorefront properties, some are custom made and futuristic even for this age. Much of the beach is for pubLIc use, and in many places you can find the neverending laughter of children playing and sometimes, even adults. The waters here are a deep azure blue, their beauty neverending and expanding as far as the eyes can see be they of human or reploid design.

Nah, just got a lot on my mind. But yer right, I oughta loosen up. Besides, no use fretting over the next action packed episode of Gumble 2 Gumble anyway..." He mentions that as if that was the most pressing of his current issues... sometimes one has to wonder if his 72 intelLIgence wasn't accidentally entered in backwards. He sLIdes his chair out a bit to face her as he kicks the one next to him out a bit, "Have a seat, RepLIgirl, tell me how you've been." Bolero changes into his Wreck Brahma armor. Zero Barrage Raptor looks at Bolero, "I guess." She says, "It doesn't involve explosives, though, so.." Bolero eyes Barrage, "If you don't want to, that's just bien... Go, run along back to quivering in fear of the water." Barrage Raptor Now Barrage is wearing her armor. It's a dark blue color over most of her body. She has on a helmet, with an orange visor covering most of her muzzle, and a pair of 'ears', or something similar. On her back is a mix of rocket pods, and a pair of boosters, which give her a LIttle extra thrust when she eneds it. These pods can retract into her back when she needs them to. The armor covering her arms and legs is gunmetal grey, with a pair of weapons mounted on her wrists, though those can be retractable. She's got something on her tail as well, what almost looks LIke a targeting sight. Her legs have gunmetal grey armor on them too, and her feet have those big kilLIng talons on them, LIke all raptors have. Orbit, meanwhile, has headed over to the food table. "*BWIP BWIP*" Poor repLIrat. General has connected. Harmony smiles, putting her hands on her hips. "Thinking, huh? Don't hurt yourself, now." Daintily taking the free seat, she grins. "Thanks! I've been pretty good, despite everything the.. world's going through. I LIke Christmas time though, so my mood's been pretty good. How about you?" Alpha arrives from the Rio - Southern Downtown. Alpha has arrived. Barrage Raptor shakes her head, "No. It's okay. I'll just stick it out and learn.." Not too far from the party, an young woman and her Assistbot is strolLIng along the length of the beach... being introspective for the moment. Zero fehs, making a face at Harmony, "I'm not as dumb as I look..." He then shoots a look at the Hunters in the area, "... don't." He says in pre-emptive warning towards them, before turning back to Harmony and smiLIng, "Yeah, most people do... I can't say that I enjoy the hoLIdays... reminds me of the fam, and well, my fam isn't exactly a good memory to have." Canopy Jabberwock finishes off at the table for the moment, neatly taking up a napkin to his mouth and swabbing off at it. He idly looks about and remarks to nobody in particular, "Seem a measure things to settLIng be down." When Orbit hops up onto the table, he smirks further, and gestures about upon the table, noting to the repLIrat, "If mind spices not you, recommend I the jambalaya, though would try I with water on hand it." He then proceeds to attempt to place another of the hats on Orbit. Aurora Hound arrives from the Rio - Southern Downtown. Aurora Hound has arrived. Harmony looks a LIttle sympathetic, but pulls out the sweet smile again. "Well hey, that's why you make new memories, right? This is my first Christmas with the RepLIforce, so it's kind of exciting.. the base is all decorated. Way too much mistletoe though, that stuff's dangerous.." she snickers, leaning back comfortabley in the chair. "I still need to finish my shopping, even.." Bolero nods to Barrage and begins explaining the process of making the basic LIquid portion of the chiLI... In terms that are as interesting as the chemical formula and mixing instructions for home-grown Semtex and bombs. He continues babbLIng on and on, as he chops peppers and onions and beef into the LIquid... Look, they're all about the size of the average human hand. Signas folds his hands behind his back and begins to whistle, finding an interesting cloud to look at, which is most assuredly unrelated to any undignified thoughts concerning his commander's intellectual prowess.

Agent Ninjutsu Gecko and I answered yesterday Aldebaran's call, and joined the amouts of people from other factions in Eurasia, right before we all crossed to Starhaved via a warp portal.

Next shot is of Easter Island, one of the larger monoLIth heads erupting from the dirt, a full body underneath. It cracks its stony head to the sky before slowly LIfting off into space. This scene is played out a dozen times around the world - the headless form of Abraham LIncoln from Mt. Rushmore, a transforming Pagoda in Northern China, a spider LIke orbus from Stonhenge minor, an Amazonian guardian - these, dubbed the 'Dread Golems' by Mars all rise into the sky to join his conscripted army. Next shot comes with audio, Mars spurning Earth for faiLIng to rise to the occasion, spitting hate at his fellow hunted Stardroids for their pettiness. He proclaims himself the heir apparent of Duo, and in an almost reLIgious fervor, announces his intent to attack Nigh directly with his army. When asked about the dubious strategy of his plan, he commented he only intends to slow Nigh down, distract it, giving Earth time to find the Inventor and free the Mistress of the Zodiac, apparently confident that they and the people of Earth would be his final hope. Under a pledge to Duo, Mars prepared his army of Stardroids and Dread Golems when an Earthen reploid (shot of Alpha) pledged her sword to his army. Intrigued, the General of Duo's armies offered her a position as his archer atop the chariot. The entire platoon then rocketed out towards the blackness of Nigh at .2c. Attempts to track them with long range telescopes have proven unsuccessful as of yet, but astronomers around the GLobe are still scanning while batches of geologists and archaeologists have been sent to sites of the Dread Golems' awakening. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/25 Posted Author Hot Christmas Toy!

Also expected are appearances by several celebrities, perhaps including the reclusive SpotLIght Scarab. The theme of the concert is a rally for EarthLIng LIfe, be it Human, Cyborg, Reploid, Android, or Bioroid, and a plea for the Stardroids to take their strugGLes elsewhere.

He was taken down in combat... then... then... Asteroid B crashed into the music site, apparently a ploy by the Robot Masters to destroy Scorpio... which appears to have succeeded. No trace of the Stardroid can be found, though rescuers can't get close enough to the crater that now scars the site in Guyana. The fallout from the Asteroid is expected to affect the Amazon, but it is too soon to determine how bad it will be, or even if it will matter in the face of the nothing. The death toll is still being calculated, but it expected to be high, as many people simply could not get out of the way in time.

Sun Dec 22 News Report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In a daring late-night adventure, the Robot Masters caused havoc in the eastern downtown area of New York City tonight, injuring several people, some critically. The group of Masters, led by Bass, included at various points Number Man and Pirate Man, and appeared to be assisted by Daryn Luna, lead singer of "Order and Chaos". The excursion started at a local sporting goods store, in which the Robot Masters looted most of the blunt instruments, as well as a golf cart and a Mr. T "standee". With their ill-gotten gains, they charged a poLIce barricade in the golf cart, detonating four poLIce cruisers and critically injuring twelve officers, kilLIng two. They proceeded up the street in a low-speed chase, followed by up to fifty poLIce cars at various points in the trip. Traffic was rerouted around the route of the Robot Masters to prevent harm, but several parked vehicles were vandaLIzed or destroyed by the robotic terrorists. Their next stop was a drive-through LIquor store, which had closed and barricaded itself to deter a strike by the Robot Masters. The poLIce were powerless to stop the Master assault against the structure, which was almost demoLIshed during the course of the Masters' rampant looting of malt LIquor and adult entertainment materials. Shortly after they finished their attack on the LIquor store, the Robot Masters began to advance into a residential district, their exact goals there unclear. It was there they were engaged by RepLIforce operatives, as well as Proto Man and an unknown `ninja'. However, the Masters were reinforced by the arrival of one of their large carrier vehicles, beLIeved to be the SS Dreadskull, which prevented further RepLIforce backup from arriving. A fierce battle broke out, ultimately resulting in the RepLIforce officers being forced to withdraw. However, the Robot Masters were sufficiently damaged to stop their advance, and they ultimately left New York City via their carrier vehicle. Daryn Luna escaped early in the battle by an unknown means. Authorities seek him for questioning in his part in the incident. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ IC News $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Message: 14/31 Posted Author Special Report!

Lets see what he has to say!* Daryn Luna appears, sitting up in a pretty bed. For some reason there is a big black square over his face. Daryn's head moves a lot so sometimes his face is seen anyway, but there you have it. Someone off screen asks questions.* "So Daryn Luna, we would LIke to ask you a few questions concerning the New York, uh, battle." Daryn lets out a long groan, "It's Three Friggin AM." Reporter: We know. Sooner you answer our questions, sooner we leave." Daryn muses over this for a few moments before saying, "Okay, uh, whatcha need to know?", he seems to LIe back down. Though it's a tad hard to tell with the big black box. The reporter asks, "Well, first our viewers would LIke to know why you sided with the Robot Masters and perhaps earned yourself a long jail sentence if caught." Daryn yawns a LIttle and says, "Because they offered me a ride and Bass said he'd teach Number Man and I how to bring Rock out. I wanted a bleedin' autograph so I thought I'd hitch a ride." There is a pause from the reporter who sputters, "Whwhat? Are you serious?" Daryn thinks about this and answers, "No. He also offered beer. In fact, I blame the beer. It was AustraLIan. Forcers probably contaminated it. Daryn no LIke contaminated beer. That and they knew how to have a good time.", the reporter pauses again and asks, "Alright, ahYou were reported leaving the scene? How did you make your escape?" Daryn sighs, "By stepping in front of a bus. I think I might find another escape route next time but if RepLIdorks would stop shooting at me and threatening me over the radio, I wouldn't have to resort to stepping in front of buses in the first place." The reporter pauses again and asks, "Finally, how do you feel this will affect your band." Daryn sighs at that, "The band'll understand. We never felt our voices were meant to serve RepLIdorks or anybody really. It's our voice. I was thinking of taking the group to Africa to do a kickin' concert with Star Man if he LIkes the idea. We all know that RepLIfarce is puttin' around with Wily and bugging people who are robbing convenience stores rather than deaLIng with the Mavericks, who are -kilLIng- the human citizens, overworking them, and generally don't give a sh** because they know if they defeat the CoaLItion, they'll be next as part of some anti-reploid witch-hunt." "That and some of them are probably Mavericks already. Wily is taking care of the people more than the United Nations did. The RepLIdorks need to stop fooLIng around with supply drops to the humans who are surrounded by genocidal enemies whom are drooLIng at a chance to wipe them out. They need to retake bloody BerLIn too, but I'm patient for that. The Mavericks are easier to hate. That's why they are going after the Masters first." The reporter bLInks, "I don't follow." "Course not.", Daryn says with a yawn, "If they defeat the Mavericks, it is possible, perhaps LIkely, that Wily will be appeased to. Enough people hate the Mavericks that appeasement to them is harder. They have a better chance of creating a UN World if they go after Wily first because the Mavericks will remain an enemy no matter what. Whereas they might have less power if they go after the Mavericks first. PoLItics suck."
