Techna: Breakdown

IC: Mars accepted that Esao was the identity of the caller without a second thought. She thought to perhaps get dressed due to the possibility that he could be asking for her location, but decided against it-she WOULD get some sleep.So the matoran merely laid and tiredly continued the conversation."What's th' reason for calling...?"The two continued to sip in silence. Save for the brief leaving of Mirtue to change the 'OPEN' sign before his shop to 'CLOSED', they remained where they were and simply savored the tea.OOC: Filler. Will post for Mirtue soon to start the real conversation; hang tight.

IC: Equinox (Eastern Canyon)Equinox grinned and took control for a second."Let me guess. There are Umbrae in CHI."IC: Esao (Bullpen, CHI)"Nothing," I said, still looking in the direction Ryllia had walked in. "It can wait. Just...just get some sleep. Let me handle this."-Teezy

OOC: Why no Airu?IC-Kal:"Yep," Kal said. "We'd better do this fast. That, or we'll have to head back and leave the A.I.'s prisoners here...It's a choice I don't feel I can make," Kal said. "Save the many or save the few. I know I'd pick the many...but I'd live with the guilt..." He shook his head, then smiled."But you're an A.I., so you don't have feelings," he said, making fun of Equi.

IC: Mars nodded tiredly. "Thanks. Bye," She concluded, then reattached the phone to her belt and went back to sleep.

IC: Daykia (New Metru Nui) "Sir? How long until we get back to CHI?"Zakaro

IC: Skyra - Techna Nui -Skyra flew above Gust and Kal a good twenty feet. "We're already here! Let's just take out this rogue AI and be done with it!"

IC: Equinox (Eastern Canyon)"True," Equinox conceded. "But I'm also an A.I. designed by the Umbrae. I know their fighting style and their abilities, and I know them better than any being in your civilization or Ryjak's."He shrugged."And my loyalty is to Gust. Without him, I cannot exist, and without his civilization, he cannot exist. I need Gust to survive, and truth be told, I've become rather fond of him."Aw, thanks.Love ya, buddy.-Teezy

IC-Kal:Kal smiled at Equinox/Gust. "Good, that means I can trust you. Now let's get to work." He pulled Onuzek, Wade, and Honnak over. "You three," he said, "Expand this entrance so we can all get in, maybe the craft too. All it leads to is a huge pit that's likely to stop us in our tracks. If you find a better spot, open it up so we can run right in to the A.I. Got it?"

IC: Equinox (Eastern Canyon)"Hold on," said Equinox. "Let me split my programming. This might hurt a bit, Gust..."Equinox began to duplicate, completely crushing Gust's consciousness for several seconds. In a couple seconds, though, one version of Equinox spread to CHI, and the other remained in Gust's body.IC: Esao (Bullpen, CHI)"Krayzikk?" I asked. "You ok--"I stopped suddenly as a rush of coding entered the CTU computers, scrolling in the distinct purple code that was Equinox."Oh, good," I deadpanned. "The cavalry."-Teezy

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk nodded. "Alright." He looked at the assembled group. "We don't know a lot about the umbrae. Thanks to Esao," He gestured toward the Toa of Fire's receding back. "We know more than we did. Athen, bring up the mission feed. Twenty minutes after departure to twenty seven minutes after departure."The feed showed up on the room's screen moments later. It started when Esao and his team departed the hovercraft. Krayzikk provided commentary as the feed ran it's course."From this encounter, we have learned several things. The first thing you will note is their incredible capability for stealth. Esao's team will not even realize what is happening until it's too late."The feed displayed the ambush."During this encounter, they have proven to be telepathic, as well as having no brainwave activity, and no thermal readings whatsoever."The scene depicted Esao's shooting of an umbrae."Judging from this, we can also guess them to be extremely hard to kill. After all, it just walked off after being shot. These creatures are likely insect-like in nature. Any questions?"Krayzikk noticed Equinox. "Oh, dear."IC: TainIt didn't take long for the group to discover the exit AMTaOS mentioned, and use their powers to escape. They found themselves in a section of the ruined ship. Tain activated his implant, and called for Gust.Calling Gust...

IC: Emma - CHI TowerReceiving message from: Kairan.Respond? y/ny"Kairan!" Emma practically shouted into the comlink, "Are you alright?"-Void

IC: Lekar (Wreakage)"FREE!" Lekar ran around laughing. "Free at last!" He walked back to the others, a large grin on his face. "Oh, and you can have this back." He then threw the transmitter back into the hallway where they came from.Zakaro

IC-Kal:Kal gasped, grabbing Gust and preventing him from falling. "Well, that's certainly a useful trick," he said to the A.I. "Looks like we don't have to worry too much about having no intel anywhere, eh?"

IC: Skyra - Techna Nui -"You want a better entrance into the Techna Nui? You should of asked me. Watch this..." Skyra began to charge a powerful shot into each of his Midak Skyra Blasters, then his visor began to search for the weakest point in the ship. "Right there..." Skyra fired, two huge balls of light went into the side of the Techna Nui. IC: Savina - Inside the Techna Nui -Savina purred happily, glad that they were finally free from the crazy computer lady.

IC: Nikarra"I have a question." Nikarra said. "Have we tried blowing them up yet?"

IC: ArentusArentus soared through the air, his smile concealed behind his mechanical suit of armor. As he turned and swerved between buildings, he looked for his informant. He would undoubtedly be difficult to find, considering the message he sent him said nothing about appearance.>'Ello, 'ello. I'm afraid that our meeting spot must be changed. Something... happened to it.Arentus said through his messager. Almost instantly after he sent it, a beep informed him of a new response. Amazed at the speed, he opened the message.>I'll give you a new location in a hour.Arentus took off towards his fav hiding spot, deciding to lay low until he was updated.IC: KeyanaKeyana smilied as she stepped into her new appartment. As soon as she crossed the door's threshold, a beep informed her of a new message. Sitting down in her arm chair, she opened the message. Reading the update Arentus sent, she grinned before replying. I can take care of that later. Now, it's time for me to relax. She thought.After a few minutes of just sitting in the chair, she got up and headed to her shower. After that, she dressed in a simple outfit of a dress and (Thank Mata-nui)flat-heeled shoes. Heading out the door, she began to think of where to plan their meeting. IC: TyphainTyphian scuttled away from the crater, leaving as fast as possible. The sounds of sirens and authorites could already be heard.

IC: Dridak (Krazhia)Ryjak stood unresponsive to Dridak's little attempt to stir up a bit of a chit chat, something which sparked a tad of annoyance in him however making no effort to show this."We've done as you want Ryjak. Are we dismissed?"

IC: Krash (Krahzia)"This is... the song that never ends! It just goes on and on and on my realative-allies! It never stops, never slows! Always fast, always goes! This is... the song that never end..." And so the population of Krahzia was reintroduced to Krash walking around singing an annoying song at the top of his lungs.Zakaro

Ignore.

IC: Thazris / KrazhiaA bottle flew past Krash's head, missing him by only a few inches."SHUT! UP!" came a cry from up above, that of an extremely irritated titan.IC: Ezraftin / CHI Briefing RoomHaving found it was Krayzikk giving the meeting, Ezraftin made his way down into the briefing room, slipping past the operatives standing at the door - well, shouldering past them - and standing in the back.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Krash (Krahzia)"OK!" Krash put down his pack, took out a box of C-4 and a pencil, wrote 'This is UP' on the box, and opened and then closed the box. "There you go!" he said.OOC: Krash is so fun to write for.Zakaro

IC: Thazris / Krazhia"This is the second time you've paraded past me with your insufferable noise you little gnat." Thazris called down. "And it better be the last!"-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Krash (Krahzia)"Gnat? GNAT?!? How many time am I going to have to tell people I prefer 'explosivly inclined insane Matoran!' Or 'that guy with the bombs.' You want one?" he asked, pulling out a bomb.Zakaro

IC: Thazris / Krazhia"If that bomb comes any closer to me, I'll scatter your ashes from here to Spherus Magna." came the bitter reply.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Krash (Krahzia)He gasped. "You can get things to Spherus Magna? Why didn't you do that to the ship before it crashed?" he asked, putting away the bomb and C-4 and sitting on his pack.Zakaro

IC - Ryjak - Venus Tower"One last thing. Destroy all surveillance equipment. All of it. Spread the order. Any camera with the capacity to be hacked must be destroyed or blinded until further notice. We can't have them teleporting in."He turned away from his screens."Then you are free to go to your apartment on level three hundred ninety two, or go anywhere else in Krahzia."

IC: Dridak (Krazhia)"I'll get to it." Dridak replied, turning around as he approached the nearest shadow."Care to join, Twila?"

IC: Thazris / Krazhia"No you moron, it's a figure of speech. I'm implying that... oh never mind. What I would give to go back there, return to the rich life... ah, but we're stuck here, doing that cretin Ryjak's bidding every waking minute of our wasted lives."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: MrorMror nodded. "Ya know, Twila, ya never answered my question." He stepped toward here, and whispered too quietly for Dridak to hear. "Oh, and watch out for Dridak. He has a reputation for using people, and discarding them when he's done."

IC: Krash (Krahzia) "Didn't I already tell you I prefer to be called an 'expolsivly inclined insane Matoran?'And why do you say Ryjak's a cretin? He's smart enough to build most of these houses. Or is is just that you don't like him?"Zakaro

IC: DridakEyebrows raised, Dridak observed Mror curiously as he began speaking in a whisper, only being able to guess what he had said and why: it just so happened that his guess was rather accurate. Words being said behind his back was all too common but what did it matter? As long as he proved successful and better than them, he was happy.Of course, that also meant he thought of himself superior to Mror, seeing the latter as an inferior being."Care to join us as well, Mror? We could always use another hand."OOC:

IC: Thazris / Krazhia"As far as I'm concerned, it's Enaltai and Ryjak who are responsible for us being here. Enaltai who led whack-jobs like you into a full frontal assault, and forced people like me into your conflict, when a million different plans would have worked better!""And now Ryjak refuses to make amends, or even try to get us back to society. Instead we live here, in this desolate wasteland, hunting that for food!"He pointed up, indicating a flying manta ray like creature, held aloft only by a number of air sacks attached to it as it glided through the air.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Krash (Krahzia)"For the third time, call me a 'explosivly inclined insane Matoran!' And have you tried asking him? Or do you just sit there all day ranting about it? Ranting. Ran-ting. Ra-nt-in-g. That's a really strange word. Ra-nt-in-g."Zakaro

IC: Thazris / Krazhia"I'm a complainer, not a doer." Thazris replied, shrugging. "And I don't put myself in danger unless I have to. For example, walking up to Ryjak. Given the choice I wouldn't be in the same star system as him."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Mror"Don't get so cocky, Dridak." Mror said, his grin never wavering. "You of all people should know, never to make assumptions."

IC: Krash (Krahzia)"Yes, you're right. Ranting isn't a very strange word. But that's how we're different! You complain, and I go blow up whatever annoys me! Do you think that because there are star systems, there are star constractions?" OOC: Don't worry, I'm confused too.Zakaro

IC: Thazris / Krazhia"I think you need to be put in a ward."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC-Jaron:"Will you two quit whining?" A Toa of Fire asked annoyedly, stepping up to Thazris and Krash. "Honestly, if we keep this up the Technans are going to think we're just a bunch of brakas who sit around all day." He glared at the two."And I think the rays taste good, thank you very much," he said to Thazris.

IC: Krash (Krahzia)"I wasn't whining. I was wondering about systems v. constractions and explosions, not complaining. That's him." he said pointing atThazris. "And I think I need to get more explosives, not be put in a ward. Or if I was, I'd just blow it up. With C-4."Getting off his pack, he grabbed a block of the said explosive and showed it to the the Toa of Fire. "Want it? I've got a ton."Zakaro

IC-Jaron:Jaron looked at the block of C-4, then waved a hand. The C-4 burst into flames, the ashes falling to the ground after a moment. Non-volatile explosives were rather useful."No, thank you," the Toa of Fire said. "I'd rather you two find something to do. Meanwhile, I'm heading off to the Tower." That said, he grabbed his two swords, shoving them together, jumping on the resultant shield/board and flying off to the Venus Tower.
