Techna: Breakdown

IC - Ryjak - Venus Tower/Ema's Home"He was an example, but rest assured I will get you out."Ryjak walked towards a shadow, picturing a small house in his mind...Minutes LaterThere was a knock at Ema's door.

IC: Daykia (Hovercraft) Closing her eyes, Daykia used her mask to speed up her perception of time until the 5 minutes felt like one. Upon arrival, she deactivated it and got out, taking a first aid kit that had been in the hovercraft. >attempting to call EsaoZakaro

A small "Hold on!" could be heard by Ryjak through the door before she opened it."Hi, can I--" Emarosa Bane started to ask, before viewing the Toa of Shadow and snarling. She drew her pistol and tried to fire off a shot, but the Toa of Shadow merely wrapped her in a veil of shadow and teleported her to Krahzia. Moments later, her children followed.Ilya Drazen watched the display and sighed, standing up and walking to his hovercraft. Time to begin his phase...IC: Esao (Ambulance, CHI)I laughed and squeezed her hand, bending down and kissing her forehead. I couldn't remember the last time I felt this happy.Well, I could. Oddly enough, the last time I had felt this happy involved her, too."You kicked ***," I said. "It was pretty hot."I picked up my link."This is Esao," I said, slightly more upbeat.-Teezy

IC-Ryllia:"Good to know," I said, before blanking out again. Today'd been a very, very long day.

IC: Daykia (Outside CHI)>call accepted She heard Esao say "This is Esao." She began, "Sir? this is Daykia, I heard your call for a medic, but by the sounds of it you've already got some.. Is there anything you'd like me to do?"Zakaro

IC: Esao (Ambulance, CHI)As we pulled out in front of the field hospital, I saw a hovercraft pull up quickly and watched as a middle-aged, well dressed doctor stepped out and ordered two of the paramedics to remove Ryllia from the ambulance. I stood and helped them, and he shook my hand."Name's Reordin," he said with a gentle smile. "What have we got? How much damage did the Umbrae infli-"He stopped, eyes widening. I cocked my head at him and then put two and two together: nobody knew it was the Umbrae besides CHI personnel. This guy was an outside doctor. Snarling, I knocked away his mask and the Matoran shapeshifted into the form of Ilya Drazen.I let out a curse of rage and grabbed him before he could grab for his gun, throwing him into the wall and following up behind him in ten seconds, driving a knee into his back and sending him to his knees."Ilya Drazen, you're under arrest for terrorism, supporting terrorists, murder, attempted murder, and ruining my life," I snarled. "I've been dreaming about this moment for a year."I talked into my link."Get everyone into CHI!" I yelled. "I want Interrogation 3 prepped and ready in ten minutes!"OOC: Next hour. Current in-game time is 11:00 P.M.-Teezy

IC-Hasil:After they had made their way out of CHI, Hasil and Airu had gone to check on the guards stationed at the city gates. Then he saw Esao arresting Illya Drazen and calling for interrogation 3 to be prepped."He just loves his interrogations, doesn't he?" Hasil remarked to Airu as they walked up to the group.

IC: Airu (New Metru Nui)Airu's eyes widened."Wait, what? Esao's interrogating Drazen? NO NO NO, THIS IS BAD. Esao will kill him for kicks!"-Teezy

IC - Ryjak - Venus TowerRyjak shoved Emarosa and her children into a cell- he'd wanted to do it personally -and glared at her."Do me a favor and be a good girl so that this goes smoothly, got it?"

OOC: Well...since it is the next hour...I'm assuming Gust and company went into the big hole Skyra made into the side of the Techna....IC: Skyra - Inside the Techna Nui -Skyra had made his way inside the ship, the others probably behind him, he hadn't really turned around to see if they were there or not. "Hmm...it's a mess in here." Skyra said, observing what was probably the Science District...or what was left of it.

IC: Daykia (Outside CHI)"Yes sir!" Focusing her powers, she created sonic waves like a voice which spoke out over all of New Metru Nui "All CHI personel report to CHI HQ and perpare Interrogation 3." She then began to limp down to said room. Zakaro

IC-Hasil:"Personally," Hasil said, "I think that would be a good idea...but we do need to stop him. Come on, let's head up. Get somebody else in charge of the interrogation, shall we?" Hasil grabbed Airu, shoving him up by Esao before he walked up there too."Looks like this day just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?" The Toa of Air said sarcastically.

"You killed Drex," she said, growling in fury. "And Esao. I heard the transmissions from Drex's scanner. How could you? They loved you. Like a brother.""Oh, come on, Esao," Drazen said with a smirk. "What are you going to do, use a couple of doses of pentothal on me?"He grinned at my snarl."I would have thought you'd have used enough needles for one lifetime."I screamed out in rage and delivered an electric shock with my stun gun into Ilya's neck, temporarily paralyzing him."Move him!" I screamed. "Before I kill him myself!"-Teezy

IC-Hasil:"I'll grab him," Hasil said, stepping up and picking up Drazen. He turned to Airu. "Are you planning to put someone else in charge of the interrogation?" He whispered to the Toa.

IC: Airu (New Metru Nui)Airu was looking at Ilya with a look of uncharacteristic disgust."No," he barked. "Lock him in a room with Esao for a few hours. Esao deserves that much."-Teezy

IC - Ryjak - Venus Tower PrisonsRyjak shook his head slowly, almost spitefully."No, no, they never loved me. They could never love a lurker. You have no idea what it feels like. The prejudice!"

IC-Hasil:"Fair enough," Hasil said, shrugging.Ten minutes later...Hasil finished cinching up the straps on the chair, holding Drazen in place for Esao. He saw the Toa of Fire step into the room. "He's all yours, Esao," Hasil said, bowing and stepping out of the room.

IC: NikarraNikarra sat in the viewing room. It was time for the second 'interrogation' that day.She would enjoy this.

IC: Esao (Interrogation, CHI)I stepped into the room slowly, feeling the room chill as my soul stretched towards Ilya Drazen. My subconscious already wanted to strangle him."I already know everything about your previous exploits.""And I yours," said Ilya, smirking at me. "You've had a busy night, my son.""Don't call me that.""You used to love it. Used to relish the idea of having a father, having someone who cared for you. I don't see a lot of that happening here.""They care for me enough."He laughed."Come, now, Esao. Not even you believe that. I saw on my monitors the debrief, the trial, and how you were treated at all of them. And I was ******* disgusted. You were a hero, not a traitor. Everything you did was according to strict orders."He grinned again, clearly at ease."Well, not the dyoxis, but that was a nice touch.""I did what I had to.""Did you? Because we accepted you the moment you pulled that trigger. You didn't need to put that needle in your arm: no, you did it because of the same reason every other junkie does. To kill the pain."I stiffened a bit subconsciously. I realized I was still standing."What's your pain, Esao?"-Teezy

IC: NikarraDyoxis?It would appear that Ilya and Esao knew eachother from before now...

IC: Daykia (Interrogation 3) Having set up the room before, Daykia was seated in the viewing room. IC: Krash (Krahzia)"I like forks. Not as much as bombs though. You can't blow up people with a fork."Zakaro

IC-Hasil:Hasil watched through the viewscreen, making mental note of everything he heard. He turned to Airu. "Did you know about the Dyoxis?" He asked.IC-Ryllia:"Of course," I muttered. "That explains a lot." Esao on Dyoxis. Yep, that explained a lot of things for me.

IC: Airu (New Metru Nui)Airu sighed raggedly, crossing through his eyes."I tried to convince him not to go through with it," I said. "Tried to tell him that it would do more harm than good, that the affects would be more long reaching than he could possibly imagine. But he went through with it."His eyes found Ryllia's for a second and turned away."Esao's done more for this country than anyone I've ever seen," he continued. "He doesn't deserve to be put through this by this ****** madman." It was the first time any of them had ever heard the normally soft-spoken general curse.He pressed a button, opening up a private comm to Esao."Esao, it's Airu. You have permission to let loose."Inside the room, I smiled and took a step towards Drazen.-Teezy

IC: Nikarra"This will be fun." Nikarra muttered.

IC-Hasil:"This should be fun to watch," Hasil said. "I've got a bit of punishment for Drazen when Esao's done, also." Hasil looked down to one of his As'ei, and began to sharpen it.IC-Ryllia:I stepped over by Airu, having heard what he said. "He certainly does what he can to get into character, doesn't he?" I asked sarcastically.

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk stood in the observation room attached to the interrogation. His arms were crossed, and his eyes were red, indicating that combat subroutines were active. This was Drazen, after all. He wasn't taking any chances. The safety was already disarmed on all three of his primary weapons.He looked at Hasil. "Yeah, so do I. I failed to kill the ******* once. I'm making sure he's dead this time."IC: MrorThe substance Twila had injected Mror with was kicking in. A maniacal grin spread across his face. "Do you want to play a game, Twila? Perhaps cards? Poker?" He reached into his suit coat.

IC: Reichenbach [undisclosed Location]> Contacting Kinksh...

IC: Airu (New Metru Nui)Airu looked at the Toa of Light a bit sadly."I'm not sure how much was him getting into character and how much was him trying to fill a void," he said quietly. Meanwhile, Esao continued the interrogation."How did you know about the Umbrae?" I asked Drazen, who shrugged as much as he could while tied down."You tell me. You're the big wig CHI guy."I took a step forward and casually withdrew a knife, tracing the skin around Ilya's eyes with the dull end."You should really reconsider that answer, Ilya."-Teezy

IC: Lekar (wreakage)Lekar had fallen asleep due to boredom of waiting for Tain. Zakaro

IC-Ryllia:"Probably a bit of both," I said. "That op was right after we broke up. He was already going through ****, judging by how he was before the op...and Drazen just made it worse." Smiling, I used a quick flash of light to blind Drazen. Might as well contribute somehow.IC-Hasil:Hasil looked up at Krayzikk. "Mine ought to come first," he said. "It doesn't have the right effect if the person is dead."

IC: Krayzikk"Fine by me. Just make sure he's alive enough to scream."IC: TainTain gave up on the call, and started walking. As he did so, he yelled. "HELLO! ANYBODY OUT THERE! HELLO!"

IC: Esao (Interrogation, CHI)I suddenly got a call on my link, and my eyebrows shot up. "I turned this off..." I muttered to myself before picking it up."Esao, it's Ema! Ryjak...he has me and the kids...he says something about Ilya Drazen and I don't know what's going--"Her voice cut off as Ryjak picked up the phone."Hey, Esao. It's been a while, hasn't it?""About two hours. Why do you have Emarosa Bane?""Why do you have my brother?""Your brother almost destroyed my life. Drexel Bane is dead. That's torture enough for that family, you sick son of a *****.""A trade, then. The family for Drazen. You have two hours."A click. The link turned back off and I turned back to Ilya."Ryjak's still watching us. How?""Common sense would tell you there's a mole," said Drazen with a grin. "I wonder who..."-Teezy

IC-Hasil:"He'll be screaming when I'm done with him. How about a contest-let's see who can make him scream louder. Deal?"

IC: Lekar (wreakage)"What the- Do you think you could have woken me up a bit less loudly Tain?" Lekar complained, getting up. "At least we can get moving. Coming, Savina?"Zakaro

OOC: Oh, this is not good. The fact that Nikarra is... unusual... may make her a suspect.IC: NikarraNikarra immediately activated her Suletu. There weren't that many people in the room, she could just listen to them all. Thoughts could betray a person's true nature, in Nikarra's experience.

IC - Ryjak - Watching"Yes, a mole indeed. Keep thinking that, you genius, you."

OOC: It amuses me, Paradox, because Nikarra can't read Krayzikk's mind. That also amuses me because, between that and the fact that he supposedly killed Drazen, in some people's eyes he might become a suspect.IC: Krayzikk"Deal." Krayzikk scanned the room. Who here could be the mole? Whoever it was, it had to have been someone present for the briefing. Before that, not many people knew about the umbrae....IC: Tain"You can sleep later. We're getting away from that crazy AI."

IC: Esao (Interrogation, CHI)Finally, I had decided I was done with Drazen's games. Throwing the table aside into the wall, I moved up, tearing him away from the chair. The electricity charging through the chains scorched his body, sending out a scream of pain as 10,000 volts of electricity ran through his body from his neck to his ankles."Who is the mole, Ilya?" I screamed at him. "WHO IS THE MOLE?"I injected seven mL's of pentothal into his neck, sending out a heartwrenching scream of agony. Scratch that. Heartwrenching for everyone else. All it did for me was make me grin and push harder with the syringe."If I inject one more milliliter into your body, your nerve endings will burst and you will lose feeling across your entire body. I will destroy you, Ilya. Just like you destroyed me. Now who is the mole?I could feel Drazen twitching, and as he screamed, suddenly, there came a break: one word, mumbled so quietly I was sure I had misheard it."WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?""RYLLIA!" he screamed. "HER NAME IS RYLLIA."I dropped Drazen, and he slid to the ground, twitching and whimpering. I turned to the window of the interrogation room in shock.-Teezy

IC: Lekar (Wreakage)"Good point." Lekar said. "If I ever incounter another person or robot that wants to test me for science, it'll be too soon."Zakaro

IC: NikarraNikarra held the pistol. She hadn't put it down.If Ryllia so much as thought about attacking any of them, Nikarra would turn and she would fire.
