Techna: Breakdown

IC: Skyra - Eastern Canyon -Skyra decided to let Gust have his moment and stepped outside the hovercraft.

IC: Zaphos"So green guy, what's your name?"

IC-Kal:"Then there might just be a possibility he's still alive," Kal said, looking at the cylinder. Plasma, same as he controlled. The bloody thing might still work.No time to test, though. He gently grabbed the plasma jet and stowed it in Gust's pack. "Try not to dwell on it," he said to Gust, grabbing him by the shoulder. "We've got something to do."

IC: Skyra - Eastern Canyon -Skyra looked at Zaphos. "You know...there are a heck of lot of green guys, you did notice I'm green AND black right? Anyway...name's Skyra. What is yours almighty pizza-god?"

IC: Zaphos"I'm Zaphos. In an alternate universe I may have been a naval officer, an adventurer, a guy who defies reality or even a general of an army. But here and now, I'm just Zaphos, Pizza Delivery Guy."

IC: Skyra - Eastern Canyon -"And as I said before, I'm Skyra, in an alternate universe I'm most likely almost the same...yet different somehow. Though this universe is probably the only one where I've been 700 years late to the party." Skyra said in a deadpan manner.

IC: Gust (Eastern Canyon)Gust laughed and shook his head, an odd static-like note edging into his voice."Try not to think about it," he said. "Try not to dwell on it. That's all I've been hearing for the last two months."He looked up, and his eyes were glowing a deep purple, slightly opaque with tears. He stood up, suddenly incensed with rage"Meanwhile, he left me with all of this ****ing ******* about national security! And prosperity! And hope! **** it! I'm done! I'm done not dwelling on it! What did he ever ****ing give me? Pain? Misery? A bullet in the ****ing heart? Exactly! I'm DONE not dwelling on all of that!"He collapsed against the hovercraft, crying quietly."What the ****, Torch?" he muttered.-Teezy

IC: Zaphos"In two alternate universes, I'd be dead."

IC: Skyra - Eastern Canyon -"Okay, the last thing I said was supposed to be sarcastic...new subject please." Skyra said, his face in his palm.

IC: Wade (Eastern Canyon)If their leader was going to break down so easily, their mission had very little odds of success. If Gust couldn't compose himself then they might as well pack up and go home. Wade also couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy."C'mon Gust, up you go." Wade said, patting the Toa of air very lightly on the back, careful not to get too close. "You gotta pull yourself together or else we're not going to get much done. You can't lose it yet."

IC: Zaphos"Right. So ... you like pizza?"

IC-Kal:Kal stayed by Gust. "Personally, I think he left it to you because you were the one suited for it," Kal said evenly. "And he couldn't have picked a better person." He sighed, leaning on the craft next to Gust."You can't just give up, Gust. Do you think Torch would have wanted it? No." Kal shook his head. "I didn't know him like you did-I didn't know him at all. But he would have pulled through, and you are too, god ****it."

IC: Gust (Eastern Canyon)Gust closed his eyes and slid the plasma jet over his forearm. When he finally opened them again, they were glowing that same deep purple."Alright," he said, now fueled by Equinox. "Are we headed to the ship now or not?"-Teezy

[iC: Stronin]"So Computer Woman," said Stronin as he entered the next room. "Did you break up with your boyfriend or something?"

IC-Kal:Kal smiled, though he kept watching Gust. If he fell apart again, mission command right now was likely to go to him. He didn't necessarily want that. Still, it was good to see the Toa back to normal."There's the Gust we know and love," he said then, and began walking on to the ship. "Let's go."

OOC:

OOC: If i've missed a post, please, correct me.IC: Typhian, New Metru NuiTyphian continued his advance, enjoying the screaming female's pleas for mercy. Unfortunately for her, he didn't 'do' mercy. The closest he got to mercy was a painless death. Typhian was only feet away when the Toa emptied the revolver's supply of bullets, all to no avail. They all shot off in different directions, richocheted by his skin.Typhian rushed foward, closing the distance between them in seconds. Grabbing the Toa, her lifted her up, letting her look him in the eyes. The Toa released shock after shock, but they barely even affected Typhian, who squeezed harder after each. Tears rolling down her checks, she began to beg for life. Typhian's insectian face contorted into the closet thing he could make to a smile. Her crying became more desperate, and her pleas longer. Typhian's mouth moved to form a few select words."You want to live?" He asked, unable to speak fluently, thanks to his implant. She nodded profusely. "Then talk." And talk she did, blabbing about all her contacts, criminal activities, and shady buisness deals. IC: Darkon, New Metru NuiDarkon slinked into the front of the shop, his eyes calculating possible escape routes. Seeing Mitrue, he spoke. "You... Saved... Me?" He asked, his voice barely above a hoarse whisper.

IC: Skyra - Eastern Canyon -"Well, judging by the way I scoffed down your pizza, I'd say yes." Then Skyra saw Gust coming out of the hovercraft, about time...."I'm ready when you guys are!"

IC: Zaphos"So am I. Say, are any of you weak to incredibly gruesome violence?"

IC: Wade"I'm ready." Wade announced, ignoring Zaphos' question.

IC: Equinox (Eastern Canyon)"I'm going to assume you're kidding."-Teezy

IC: Zaphos"You know how I fight man. Just making sure if the others can handle the gruesome scenery."

IC: Wade (Eastern Canyon)"Zaphos, I thought you were just the 'typical' pizza-delivering Frostelus. What, you get in fights with customers who don't pay very often?"

IC: Zaphos"I'm a typical pizza-delivering Frostelus. But are you aware of what I am?"

IC: Skyra - Eastern Canyon -"No problem with me, bring on the carnage! Actually...we're gonna be fighting a computer AI, there isn't gonna be any gore..." Skyra shrugged, and then activated his jet-packs, hovering a few feet off the ground.

IC: "Castor"Castor rolled his shoulders, as he often did when he started a mission. "Alright, ma'am. We should get moving. We need to make it to the Citadel as quickly as possible."IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk looked around, noting the people around him. In his head, Athen gave the status report. Krayzikk cursed. "Esao, according to Athen, that attack took out about 50% of the CHI."IC: TainTain sighed. "Sheesh, Computer Lady. No need to get cranky at us." Tain kept walking, his pistol still held at his side. The AI may have said the way was clear of enemies, but he wasn't taking any chances.

IC: 'Arell' - Krahzia -"Right, let's move." And with that, 'Arell' took the lead, the two made their way out of the city, and towards New Metru Nui.

IC: Darkon, New Metru-NuiDarkon lowered himself into a kneeling postion, looking for all the world like he was about to be knighted. "By saving my life... You have... Earned the service... Of mine..." He said, his throat aching as he whispered. "A life-debt has been created, and I shall not forget it." As he finished his strained speech, he shakily stood.

IC: Kopaka stared, astonished. Then he let out a shaky laugh and looked away again as the flush only deepened."Good Mata Nui, mate, service is nice and all, but I do believe if you are to be serving anything for the moment, it should be yourself," Said the tailor with a slight concern. "You can perhaps serve me later-I merely feel that it would be most advised to have a cup of tea before doing so. Are you honestly certain you've recovered from that most bothersome desert experience yet?"

IC: AMTaOS Radio (w/Trio) - ???The group finally passed through to a huge chamber - one would recognize it immediately as some sort of emergency power supply room, with only a few, waning lights illuminating it. At the far end were eight levers, with binary markings on them. All of them were down."Luckily those security measures I mentioned included unlocking these. Unfortunately, many of the power cores here were damaged in the crash. Luckily, we don't need them all. Just power them up. Pull those eight levers and see what we get."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[iC: Stronin]"Oi Computer Lady, can you explain to me what I should do in this new room instead of angsting about your online boyfriend breaking up with you?"

IC: AMTaOS (w/Stronin) / Test ChamberThe only thing in the room was a clear elevator shaft. With an elevator in it.It was clear what the next step was.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[iC: Stronin]"Let me guess. You want me to blow up the elevator like a boss and then attempt to fly via the force of the explosion?"

IC: AMTaOS (w/Stronin) / Test Chamber"Be sure to be the epicenter of the explosion, you insufferable fool."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[iC: Stronin]"Come on, couldn't you be nice to me for at least a minute?"

IC: Savina - ??? -Savina stared at the eight levers, she began to make a low growl, she didn't like this..why should they give the AI more power? She'd probably just kill them or worse after they did so.

IC: AMTaOS (w/Trio) / External Area"Don't worry about anything. Really. I'll let you out the moment you've upheld your end of the bargain. And I promise, nothing bad will come of this. I only want to get the ship operating again. Don't you? It will take approximately 150 thousand years, and you'll be long dead. But not me. I'll be doing science, and while you're dead, I will be still alive.""Now pull the lever."IC: AMTaOS (w/Stronin) / Test Chamber"Of course not. I'd need you to be a competent test subject to be nice to you."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[iC: Stronin]"You want competent eh? Very well, I'll agree to your demands I suppose. Into the shaft I go," he said cheerfully, walking forward.

IC: Nikarra [CHI Cafeteria]Nikarra cleared her throat, hoping that one of the others would notice her.

IC: Arkrak"So what now."

IC: Incommodo"Since everyone else has left the room, we will find some way of being recruited into the government."
