IC-Sihkar:"I'd rather have stayed at the city," the Sihkar said annoyedly. "But apparently the Folken-sa felt the need to drop me in here. Thank you, by the way-you guys must have always had something against me." He then watched interestedly as the Umbrae atop Ryllia clawed her, blood gushing out. He smiled-she was definately dead. That thing they had called a heartlight slowed, and stopped.Then he winced when the Umbrae was burnt to a crisp. "I'd recommend we take the last three, and use them to cover our escape," he said to the Folken. "Unless, of course, you want the three sa-kar warriors killed, of course," he said sarcastically. The Sa-Kar were the general's family-very far extended, of course. Any close family was killed when he ascended the position. Nothing to distract him from his job.Ryllia groaned slightly as the claws bit into her unconscious form. Her mind felt to be going slower in the dream, slower...Nothing. No pulse.
IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)Before he could say another word, I had incinerated the three sa-kars and had turned towards the remaining two Umbrae."Get out. Now." I growled, my voice full of Equinox's signature static.-Teezy
IC: Typhian, New Metru-NuiTyphian carefully scuttled down the side of the building, and began to make his way towards where he saw all the beings leave. If I get inside... I can perhaps see what's going on... He thought.OOC: Dat's right. Typhian gonna go all awesome on you guys. But tommorrow, for I'm now going to bed.IC: Darkon, New Metru-NuiDarkon's strange eyes watched Mirtue as he spoke. "I shall do all you ask, but no payment will be needed." He said. Pausing, he cocked his head, letting a grin grow on his face, before continuing. "You'll be surprised how much I know about that type of labor."
IC-Sihkar:"Of course," the Sihkar said, smacking himself. "That bloody A.I. We've pretty much killed ourselves there, haven't we?" He then began to move off. "I don't know about you, but that girl is dead...he'll be in Irak for a while. We've won this battle." He gathered the shadows around himself, heading back.OOC: Irak-Mourning.
IC: Kopaka shook his head in astonishment. He sighed and raised his eyes to the heavens as a parent chiding a child they were fond of might."Ah...If you insist."The toa got up and collected the two cups. Mirtue held them reverently as he headed back into the other room, only turning and taking a slight pause to say:"Work starts tomorrow. Do count some mahi, chap."
IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)As soon as the two surviving Umbrae disappeared, I could feel Equinox slip back into the computer systems. The phoenix dissipated and I ran towards Ryllia."Ryllia...babe, come on..."I activated my link."This is Esao!" I yelled into it, beaming it to all CHI personnel, along with Ezraftin and Krayzikk. "CHI is all clear! I need a medic stat!"-Teezy
IC - Folken - Leaving CHIAs they left, Folken shot a glare at Sihkar."All our men are dead. You realize what this means when we get back home, right?"
IC-Sihkar:The Sihkar shrugged. "Paperwork, mostly. Angry families. Petitions to have me removed, and possibly killed." He shook his head. "No worse than other Sihkar have dealt with. You remember Sihkar Bysk? He nearly destroyed half the computers, ruined the food supply for months, and then allowed that ship to crash." He shrugged again."No worse than other than other Sihkar have dealt with," he repeated. "But what about you, Folken? You were technically still in charge, and you were also supposed to jump in if things started going too badly. It seems we're both going to have a lot to deal with."
IC - Folken - En Route to Umbrae City"I have my status to protect me. You are a civilian leader."
IC-Sihkar:"Elected for Voten knows why," the Sihkar said, voicing the name of the first and most revered Umbrae. "They didn't even elect me for any real reason, you know. Just for the fact that I wanted these creatures off of our planet." He sighed."Ah, well, Folken," he said. "If it ends, may the gods smile upon me. By the way, I noted you to carry out my will, if I'm executed," he muttered. Then he smiled bitterly. "It's been a good run, hasn't it?"
IC: Leon - New Metru Nui -Leon walked down the streets of New Metru Nui, he was enjoying his walk, despite the recent disasters that had plagued the city. His comm link suddenly received a message that was being broadcast nearby.
This raised the young Toa's curiosity, he sent a reply. "I might be interested in this quest of yours...""It's been almost a year now since we have held onto Mata-Nui, and the Kanohi Ignika within which he is stored. That is a year too long.""It is time for us to lay claim on that mask again, and to secure the blessings of Mata-Nui, and the Great Beings most powerful artifact of creation. This is not a task I take alone, but instead I offer all warriors with the strength to join me in this quest.""Step forward, and join me!"
IC - Folken - En Route to Umbraen City"May they shine on you. Who knows. You may only get a life sentence in prison."
IC: NikarraNikarra heard the message, and ran towards where she'd last seen Esao, only to find he wasn't there.> Where are you now?> Send message to Esao? Y/N> Y> Sending message...
IC: Arkrak"Gurble gurble - wait, where is it!?"
IC: Incommodo"Right there! It's a back door!" Incommodo noticed Nikarra walk past them as they headed towards the door.OOC: Hubert, that would probably be your cue.
IC: Arkrak"What just hap- Oh look, hot chick."
IC: NikarraNikarra stopped as she heard Arkrak."What did you just call me?"
IC: Arkrak"I uh, complimented your appearance."
IC: NikarraNikarra glared at Arkrak. "Get a life."
IC: Arkrak"Um, okay?"
IC: NikarraNikarra stormed off, not even giving Arkrak a second glance.
IC: Arkrak"Uh. What just happened?"
IC: Incommodo"I think she likes you." Incommodo said, sarcastically.
IC: Arkrak"Uh huh."
IC: Incommodo"I wonder where she's going..."
IC: Arkrak"Somewhere."
IC: Daykia (New Metru Nui)She gasped as 2 messages came over her comn link.
"It's been almost a year now since we have held onto Mata-Nui, and the Kanohi Ignika within which he is stored. That is a year too long.""It is time for us to lay claim on that mask again, and to secure the blessings of Mata-Nui, and the Great Beings most powerful artifact of creation. This is not a task I take alone, but instead I offer all warriors with the strength to join me in this quest."
Turning to the TAC team leader, she said, "Sir! I have basic medical training! I think I could help Esao more than most other people on site. Could you get me there?"Zakaro"This is Esao!" I yelled into it, beaming it to all CHI personnel, along with Ezraftin and Krayzikk. "CHI is all clear! I need a medic stat!"-Teezy
IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)"Nikarra!" I yelled, happy to know that the others got out. "I'm in the Director of Field Ops Office! Ryllia's pretty messed up..."I covered her wound, applying pressure with my flak jacket and shirt. "Come on, Ryllia...don't leave me again..."NPC: TAC Team (New Metru Nui)"CHI," the TAC team leader barked. "Let's move!"-Teezy
IC: Daykia (Hovercraft) "Alright. Could I have a first aid kit? And any other medical supplies?" she asked.Zakaro
IC: Drazen (???)"True. But if Esao had managed to scare one of them into talking, particularly the female, then what remains of our operation could have been ruined.Ilya shrugged."As it is, my brother, it is of no consequence. How goes Krahzia?"-Teezy
IC - Ryjak - Venus Tower"You are wasting my time, brother. I know you haven't called to see how I was doing, so tell me. What is the real reason you called?
IC: Drazen (???)Ilya laughed a bit."I called to tell you that the next part of the operation is ready on my end. Have you secured your targets?"-Teezy
IC: Nikarra"I'm on my way!" Nikarra replied, running towards the office.
IC-Sihkar:"I may not even end up in prison," the Sihkar said. "I do have quite a few contacts, you realize, and quite a few of the Nogh might ask that I keep my position." He shrugged. "They certainly like their bloodthirsty, xenophobic leaders, don't they?" He smiled slightly.OOC: Nogh-people. General term for large groups of Umbrae. x3Medical Team:Quickly, a med team ran into Esao's office, viewing the scene grimly. "We can handle this, sir," one of them said. "Alright, you," he said, pointing to one member, "Apply pressure to the wounds. You two do compressions and breathing. You," he said, pointing to another member, "Grab the AED. I'll grab the bandages." He quickly pushed Esao off of the Toa of Light, making room for the others to get to their work."1-and-2-and-3..." the person giving compressions counted. "30!" Two breaths. "Here are the bandages," the team leader said, beginning to cover the wound in Ryllia's stomach. The others would be figured out later."30!" Two breaths. One of the medics ran out with a small device, the size of a suitcase. He opened it up, grabbing a couple pads. The two giving Ryllia CPR moved out of the way, as he hooked the pads up to her."Checking heart rhythm," the box prompted. After about thirty seconds: "Shock recommended. Charging...please clear the device." The medics all stepped back. "Charging..." Ryllia's body gave a thump. "Shock administered. Begin compressions." The two giving CPR went back to work.IC-Ryllia:I gasped, feeling a quick shock run through my body. Something more, though. Air. I was breathing. I felt my heartlight start up again, energy and blood quickly rushing back through my system. I barely opened my eyes, looking around. There were medics all about me, and Esao was watching worriedly. I sighed, almost laughing as I went back into darkness."She's alive!" One of the medics crowed happily. "Keep moving," the leader said. "Don't get distracted, otherwise she might die." He was keeping pressure on the stomach wound, while a few of the more serious claw wounds were being treated by the other two."Monitoring heart rate," the machine prompted, and all the medics stepped back for a moment. "Shock recommended. Charging...please clear the device." The machine waited a moment. "Charging..." Ryllia's body gave another thump. "Shock administered. Begin compressions." The team went back to work for another couple minutes."1-and-2-and-3...30!" Two breaths. "Tie off the bandage the right way, lad!" The leader yelled angrily. "Monitoring heart rhythm..." they all stepped back again. "Shock not recommended." The team crowed in triumph, before loading Ryllia up into a small hovercraft they had come in, continuing to administer to the Toa of Light."Sir," the leader said to Esao, "Hop in. We're going off to the field hospital over by the guard post at the gates." He dragged Esao into the vehicle, as they began moving off.I gasped again. What was going on? Couldn't they let me sleep? I opened my eyes, though my vision was blurry. "What's happening?" I moaned, my words slurred somewhat. A medic pushed my shoulder gently, making me lay my head back down. I turned, and saw Esao."That was fun, wasn't it?" I muttered, my eyes fluttering.IC - Folken - En Route to Umbraen City"May they shine on you. Who knows. You may only get a life sentence in prison."
IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)"Hey," I said, putting pressure on Ryllia's wound. "Help me out, will ya? She's pretty messed up..."-Teezy
IC: Nikarra"No problem." Nikarra said, just as she reached the office, and saw Ryllia. "She looks pretty bad. Is she still... y'know..."
IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)"Yes!" I snapped, my voice threatening tears. "Of course she is! She just needs a medic!"I pressed down harder on the wound.-Teezy
IC - Ryjak - Venus Tower"So I should carry out my part?"
IC: Daykia (Hovercraft)"Sir? How long until we arrive at CHI?"Zakaro
IC: Drazen (???)"Yes," he said. "After you have them, call me back over this channel and let me know. I'll trigger the next phase from there."He sighed."Be sure to actually get me out, brother. I've seen what happens to people who don't cooperate with Esao. Rather recently, in fact."NPC: TAC Teams"About five minutes," piped up the TAC leader. "We're en route now."The hovercraft began to move back to the CHI headquarters, unaware of what they might find...-Teezy
