IC: Nikarra"Yes, that's all." Nikarra replied.
IC: Esao (Special Agent in Charge's Office, CHI)"Alright, then," I said. "Head to Debrief 1 and I'll have someone there in a couple minutes."-Teezy
IC-Hasil:Hasil had tried to lash out against Ryjak before he left, but to no avail. He cursed in disgust, turning to Airu. "Where to now?" He asked the Toa, anger still burning in his eyes.
IC: Nikarra"Of course." Nikarra said, and left the room, closing the door behind her, and walking to Debrief 1.
IC: Airu (Interrogation, CHI)"We need to head back to the Citadel," said Airu. "Check for survivors, look for any information that we may be able to salvage..."IC: Esao (Special Agent in Charge's Office, CHI)I sighed, finishing up the burger and going to work on the frappuchino. My thoughts drifted back to their previous subject, and finally, I made up my mind."Link. Call Mars."-Teezy
IC-Hasil:Hasil sheathed his weapons, and then started to head off back to the citadel. "Let's just hope there's enough of the Citadel left that we can manage to get into it," he said, pointing to how the citadel was leaning over. "Who knows what the internal damage in that thing has done."
IC: MrorMror sighed. "Ya know, Ryjak? It's been awhile since I had any excitement. It's about time things picked up again." He looked around, noting the presence of Ryjak and Twila. "And I think that this is gonna be interesting."He looked to Twila. "Hey, Twila. How are ya in a fight?" Mror already knew Ryjak's capabilities, and also knew of Dridak's. He wasn't as certain about Twila.IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk cursed again. He was National Security Adviser, and he hadn't been able to do a darn thing to prevent all this. He had failed big time.He exited the interrogation room, wandering aimlessly. His footsteps clanged past Esao's office, pausing only a moment. Then he started to walk again.
IC: NikarraNikarra noticed Krayzikk. "Hello."
IC: Krayzikk"Hello." Krayzikk responded, his voice more hollow than usual. "What's happening?" The mechanical behemoth's eyes were dimmed, lightly glowing green.
IC: Nikarra"Not much. I was just talking to Esao. I overheard him talking to someone."
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk nodded. "Good. Especially at times like this, one must keep in contact with ones allies and friends. For without them, life isn't worth living." Ha. Life. What would you know about life, Krayzikk? "So. Where are you headed?"
IC: Alfon (CHI)Alfon had been sitting, watching the interrogation the entire time with his elbows rested on his knees and hands webbed together. Esao had revealed a lot more of his true colors, some which Alfon weren't fond of.That's what makes him good at his job, though.Noticing robot-buddy Krayzikk getting up, Alfon decided he would do so as well and follow him. The Toa of robotics had nothing better to do after all.Waltzing into the room, Esao and Nikarra came into view as well: just the two people he didn't want to see at the moment, especially the grumpy bat he had the 'pleasure' of conversing with with Zongu."And Alfon the man who carries pocketfuls of sunshine with him wherever he goes arrives, instantaneously brightening your day. 'Sup people?"
IC: Emma - CHI TowerEmma slouched in the cafeteria, slowly nibbling away at the sandwich in front of her. It seemed impossible to eat, after all that had happened. She had just seen her best friend captured, her home destroyed, she had almost died, and watched as an officer of Techna mercilessly tortured a Hacker.This was getting out of hand.Resigned to being unable to finish the sandwich, she wrapped it in a napkin and pocketed it, before walking out of the room. Technically, she had no right to be in this building. She wasn't a guard, she was a mercenary who had teamed up with them out of need.And yet Emma was here, of all places, trying to process all that was going on. She kept walking through the halls, until she noticed Krayzikk standing there, talking to another being whom she couldn't quite make out."-overheard him talking to someone," she heard the figure (Nikarra) say. Who was talking to who? She couldn't tell."Hello there," she said quietly, not wanting to disrupt them too much, before she noticed that yet another being had entered the rom at the same time (Alfon).-Void
IC: Nikarra"I'm heading over to Debrief 1. Esao said he'd be sending someone over."
IC-Yeirstro:"Honestly," Yeirstro said to the guard who was maintaining his prison, "Can't I at least have some water? I'm dying in here!" He looked at the guard angrily, who wasn't paying any attention to him. He was getting seriously annoyed.He reached out with his foot, managing to kick the guard in the chest from between the bars. The guard looked at him angrily, sword raised. Yeirstro just smiled."Alright," he said amiably, "Now that you're paying attention, may I please have some water?" The guard looked at him, then grabbed a younger hacker and sent him off.Three minutes later, Yeirstro was drinking water, and he still had about a gallon left. He had a bit of a plan going on now.
IC: Krash (Krahzia)Krash was beginning to wonder why no one responded to anythng he did. No mater how loud he sung, or how annoying the song, no one told him to shut up or stop. "What do you think? Really? I didn't know that." The insane Matoran continued to walk through Krahzia.Zakaro
IC: NikarraNikarra turned as she saw Emma approaching. "Hello. I don't believe I have met you before."
IC: Krayzikk"Well, you better get on that." You're an antique, Krayzikk. Past your prime, outdated, ready for the scrap heap.Shut up. Strangely, the voice in his head sounded like Tsuki.He looked at Emma. "Hello, Emma."
-==IC: Alca//Techna Nui Wreckage==-Alca smiled, as he turned back around."Alright then; I accept. However, I do urge you to consider my secondary offer, just in case, but I won't pursue that, as I was just offering an alternative for you. I will begin to send test subjects to you sometime soon; they will be located around the Eastern Canyon; about where you began to abduct people recently." Alca stated, as he turned around once more, and began to head back to his lab.Now then; time to begin to recreate my lab, in a more... suitable location. Alca thought, as he snapped his fingers, and had the messenger Vahki destroyed, to prevent the AI from directly following him, at least for the moment. Until he moved his supplies out, he needed to keep his tracks covered.OOC: So let's see; we have...Replica ArmyRobot Army... Why do I suddenly have a very bad feeling? xD/EDIT: Just to mention; Kairan attempted to contact Emma. =P In fact...-==IC: Kairan//Hovercraft==-Kairan sighed, as he shook his head. He tried to contact Emma again; but... he didn't have a good feeling about it, what with the explosions...Was she in one of the districts that were affected...? Kairan thought, as he figured that it'd take more than that to kill Emma, but...IC: AMTaOS - Vahki Messenger / Wreckage of Techna-Nui"No! No, please, don't kill my robots; my kin!""...""Heh heh heh. Do you really think I mind you crushing a few worthless pieces of scrap metal? They're no important to me than you are. And you're not important to me.""I accept your offer to bring me test subjects. And I will test them. But I am not leaving my Facility to the Technans.""Besides, I have reasons to suspect this place is far more important than you could possibly know."-Toa Levacius Zehvor
IC: Esao (Special Agent in Charge's Office, CHI)"God **** it, Gust! I did what I had to do! You've wanted the location of Krahzia for months now, and when I finally get it, you try to have me put on leave?" I screamed, walking down the stairs to the bullpen, where the others were gathered."No, Esao, it's not like that--" Gust's voice rang out from the phone, which was on speaker."The bloody **** it isn't! Do you know just how much CHI has been going through for the last few hours? I'm working everyone on double capacity for you while you gallivant around playing hero!""Esao, please, calm down. I know how much the people at CHI meant to you, but lashing out at me isn't going to solve anything!" Gust yelled frantically, trying to placate me, but I merely sighed in disgust."I'm staying on at CHI, Gust. If you have a problem with it, do your ******* job, come back to your city, and tell me yourself.""Esao, you know as well as I do that I'm doing my job as best as I can--""Well, it's a good thing Torch isn't here to see how good your best is! Maybe if you had done a better job at keeping him alive this wouldn't even be an issue!"I hung up the phone in disgust and put it in my pocket.-Teezy
OOC: Didn't realise he was outside. XPIC: NikarraNikarra cringed slightly as she heard Esao shouting."Maybe we should head on over to Debrief 1, then?"
IC-Kal:Kal rolled his eyes at the discussion, before contacting Esao again."I take it you're done disciplining the children, dear?" He said, joking with Esao the way Esao had joked with him.
IC: Daykia (New Metru Nui)Awakening. Hurt. Pain. "Help..." she whispers. Still too quietly. As darkness once again overtakes her, she uses her powers to send a high, weak pulse of sound, so high most would not be able to hear it. Zakaro
IC: (Parazan)Parazan saw the four-armed creature get closer and closer. He took out his confusion staff but not before the creature rammed into Parazan.
IC: Esao (Bullpen, CHI)Suddenly, one of the analysts wolf-whistled: a half a dozen pairs of eyes, mine included, followed his gaze to a smoking hot Toa of Light. The analysts and TAC teams looked like Naming Day had become a monthly occurrence. I cursed out loud violently."Oh, no, no, no..."-Teezy
OOC: Starting a while before that.IC-Ryllia:I smiled stunningly at the man, and he couldn't help but blush. "Really?" I said to him, sounding for all the world like a happy schoolgirl. "You really know just how to get into Krahzia?" I put my chin in my hand, watching him interestedly."Why, of course," he said proudly. "After I managed to get out of their prison building, I had to deactivate the sentries Ryjak had around the place. Pretty simple code, too." I nodded at him, before something beeped in my head.Time to head off, the A.I. told me. I smiled, and grasped his hand. "It has been nice talking to you," I said then. "You're probably the smartest man I've ever met....but I have to leave. See ya!" I then stood up and walked away, feeling his eyes gaze at me as I left. A specific part of me too. The pig. I laughed slightly when he took a sip of his drink. Three seconds later, he slumped over, foam dribbling out of his mouth.Then the bloody CHI analysts had to notice me. They all started staring at me as I walked down the hall. "Having fun, Esao?" I called out to the Toa of Fire.
IC: Esao (Bullpen, CHI)"I was until you showed up, Ryllia," I said, smiling bitterly. "Why are you here?"I feigned an expression of understanding. I could almost feel the sarcastic lightbulb pop up over my head."Oh, that's right. After the incident with Unari, Internal Affairs decided to put me on a leash. You're here to shadow me and make sure I don't cross any more lines while monitoring CHI's progress on the Hacker threat. Am I getting warm?"-Teezy
IC: Ezraftin / Atop CHI BuildingMeanwhile, once again atop the CHI Building, a much less attractive Toa of light scanned the city below. Rescue teams had managed to save the survivors trapped under the debris, and a head count was being taken on the surrounding area.He checked a datapad, from which information was streaming in by the second. The casualties were high, but luckily there were only a few missing persons reports. One of them interested him more than the others. A whole busload - literally a busload - of people had apparently gone missing, and nobody had any idea where they had gone.Maybe he would look into that before he left again.IC: AMTaOS - Vahki / Wreckage of Techna-NuiHidden from view, as they always were, was a Keerahk Vahki unit, trailing completely silent, and completely hidden, from the Toa of Gravity.-Toa Levacius Zehvor ![]()
IC-Ryllia:"Maybe," I said to him, smiling mysteriously. "Maybe not. Who wants to know?" I activated my mask, quickly running around beside Esao where couldn't see me."Just remember that I'm watching," I whispered to him. "Even if you can't see me." Then I left quickly, leaving all of them in a state of confusion as I walked back towards my office. Typical day, really.Except for, you know, the bombs and everything. That really threw my day off a bit.
IC: Daykia (New Metru Nui)She groaned. Everythng hurt. Daykia could feel one of her legs trapped under a large piece of rubble, large enough to keep her from moving it. She sent out another, stronger high sonic wave, maybe even strong enough to reach the CHI building, though not go through its walls. Too hurt to do much more, she lay there hoping for rescue.Zakaro
IC: Esao (Bullpen, CHI)I picked up the signal our scout was sending out and sent out a TAC team."Retrieve Daykia," I said to the squad leader. "She's probably hurt. Be prepared to administer first aid."I used my power over heat to humidify the room, creating a clear outline of sweat around Ryllia's form: I could almost hear the drool of the analysts hitting the floor."Good news, Ryllia," I called out. "We're doing fine as it is. You can go back home. Don't let the door hit your Botox-inflated *** on the way out." -Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"I'm all natural," I said to the Toa of Fire as I left. "Or have you forgotten?" Then I thought for a moment, and contacted Esao via implant.>Remember to tell your little matoran girlfriend I said hi. And don't get her killed like you nearly did to me.
-==IC: Alca//Techna Nui Wreckage==-There was only one thing that stopped that plan. Alca suddenly vanished after stepping onto what appeared to be a hole. Of course, upon further inspection, there would be no hole, but the truth was, that Alca simply dropped down the hole, and placed a trapdoor over it, even as the Toa of Iron continued to walk forward, acting as a deterrent just in case, as he created a wall, and continued to walk toward where the lab would be; if there were two ways into it. Meanwhile, the Toa of Gravity frowned, as he continued to walk toward his lab. Alca thought over where the best place would be to set up his new Replica facility; and had already decided it should be some place close to everything.If only I could just move the wreckage of the Techna Nui... Alca thought, as that would solve all the problems, but, of course, that wasn't a possibility. He already knew the best location for the lab itself; underground, with nothing but rock and who knew what else was under the crust to protect it... at least, until it was time to enact his plan.
IC: Esao (Bullpen, CHI)I froze instinctively, almost able to feel the expectant gazes of the analysts, waiting for their commander to make a comeback. Instead, I followed Ryllia into the office."Listen, Ryllia," I said. "Things between us ended badly, alright. I get it. But don't make today a personal vendetta. I'm still working on two terrorist threats at once, one of which is very, very important to me."-Teezy
IC: Twila - Ryjal's Room, Krahzia -Twila smiled wickedly at Mror. "Depends on the kind of fight...though I suppose my fighting style is up close and personal...you know, with my claymore, shotgun, Felnas, and emotion disrupting implant..."IC: MrorMror sighed. "Ya know, Ryjak? It's been awhile since I had any excitement. It's about time things picked up again." He looked around, noting the presence of Ryjak and Twila. "And I think that this is gonna be interesting."He looked to Twila. "Hey, Twila. How are ya in a fight?" Mror already knew Ryjak's capabilities, and also knew of Dridak's. He wasn't as certain about Twila.
IC: Daykia (New Metru Nui) Being a Toa of Sonics, she could hear the footsteps coming before a normal Toa would. Hoping that it was someone who could help her, she called out in a hoarse voice, "Is anyone there?"Zakaro
IC-Ryllia:I smiled at Esao when he ran in. "Vendetta?" I said skeptically, raising my eyebrow. "No. I got picked for the job, I didn't choose it. You know that as well as I do." Then my smile grew deeper."But don't forget, I can play word games just as well as, if not better than you. So be careful what you say-especially around those analysts. I've learned from experience that they have trouble keeping their mouths shut." Then my eyes clouded over for a moment, listening to her A.I."Oh, be careful with that one analyst, Jorak. We've found intel that he might be a hacker too, along with his brother Nefron." I smiled again. "I took care of that one for you, by the way. He was pretty easy to read."
IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)I stood still, reading Ryllia's face for several seconds."I really did hurt you, didn't I?" I asked, my voice a hushed whisper, as if I was observing pain for the first time. NPC: TAC Team (New Metru Nui)"We have you, ma'am," said a deep, reassuring voice, which Daykia recognized as the leader of a CHI TAC team. "Special Agent in Charge Mandala sent us to get you to the CHI Medical Bay."-Teezy
IC-Ryllia:"Yes, you did," I said, my face as somber as his. "Good to see you're managing to move on though, isn't it?"
IC: Daykia (New Metru Nui)"Thank you." Daykia said. "But my leg's gotten stuck under one of the larger pieces of rubble. I've tried to lift it myself, but it won't budge." Zakaro
