Techna: Breakdown

IC - Ryjak - CHI Building/Venus TowerRyjak looked at Esao. Then at Jorak. Then back at Esao."Take him? Um, no."He grabbed Drazen by the arm, waving back at Esao."Have fun with the Banes."----------Almost as soon as they left, guards moved to inspect the Banes. That was when they realized it wasn't the Banes. The seemingly innocent family morphed into four Toa in Mahikis.

IC: Nikarra"Oh, ****."

IC: Airu (New Metru Nui)Airu recognized the trick."Ryjak!" he roared, jumping into the pool of shadow after the two brothers just before it dissipated. He was gone."NO!" I yelled, setting all four Hackers ablaze in grief. They died slowly, agonizingly.Just the way I wanted to.-Teezy

IC: Emma - CHI Tower"Karzit," was all the Toa could say.-Void

IC: Esao (Interrogation, CHI)I dropped against the walls, leaning against them and blinking as if Airu's disappearance was an illusion.I closed my eyes and tried to stop tears from falling.-Teezy

IC: NikarraNikarra turned to Esao. "There's a big chance they're still alive. If we attack Krahzia, now, we might be able to save them."

IC: Krayzikk"... The Karz just happened?" Krayzikk asked. He had left for all of two minutes, and the floor was smoldering in four near dots.

IC: Nikarra"The Hackers cheated us." Nikarra explained.

IC-Ryllia:I moved over to Esao, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You couldn't expect anything more of him, Esao," I told him. "You know who he is."IC-Kal:"Typical Ryjak," Kal said disgustedly. "Always has to have his tricks. Always has to ruin everything." He turned, back towards Nikarra. "Good," he said. "You're in charge of it. Gather as many people as you can. Hovercrafts are free."

IC: Nikarra"With pleasure."

IC (CHI):Zongu looked around."Well... This is awkward."

OOC: What Airu did would need physically contact, but since I never really specified, so it's alright.IC - Ryjak - Venus TowerAiru came in, shaken from his first time teleporting with shadow. As he cleared his mind, a knee slammed into his face, knocking his mask away. A series of kicks knocked his weapons away, leaving him defenseless. One final kick to the chest sent him down against a wall."Since when have I ever been trustworthy?"He grabbed the Toa and threw him against the ground."Get up, Airu." The Toa did so, only to find a punch colliding with his left eye. Ryjak motioned for two guards to come get Airu."Bring him to a cell where he can't use his powers. See if you can hack through his mental shield. We can use all the info we can get."

IC-Jaron:"Brutal," Jaron commented, after watching what Ryjak did with Airu. "Brutal, but effective." He then turned to the Toa of Shadow."Would you mind telling me of my brother Jorak's status?"

IC: NikarraNikarra immediately started contacting everyone she knew of in the CHI building. "People, get your ***es to Debrief 1. I'll explain when you're there."

IC: Airu (Venus Tower, Krahzia)"Esao killed him," he spat. "Stabbed him in the eye with his own bone!"He laughed."You might as well bury me right now, Ryjak, 'cause you know as well as I this won't last! You hear me?"IC: Esao (Interrogation, CHI)Tears still rolled down my face as I shook my head."Crazy old man," I whispered. "He never had a chance of beating both Drazens at once..."-Teezy

IC (CHI):"Well, looks like there's no need for us to escape after all. Come on, let's roll."Zongu began leading the others to the place Nikarra had specified.

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk cursed, as he grasped the situation. He looked at Gust. "Lemme guess. I'm stuck in the Citadel coordinating again, aren't I?"

IC: Gust (Interrogation, CHI)"No," said Gust. "I want you running point on this. You're gonna be my eyes and ears. Esao will be coordinating from CHI."He turned to Ryllia and sent her a text.>You're supposed to be watching him. Make sure you do.-Teezy

IC: Krayzikk"Yes sir." Krayzikk said, a hint of enthusiasm present in his voice. "I'll go recharge, and get my gear." With that, the mechanical behemoth turned and walked into the nearest office with an outlet.Withdrawing and plugging in the cable, the Titan went into standby mode. He set himself to turn back on in twenty minutes.

IC: NikarraNikarra walked to Debrief 1, and waited for everyone to show up.

-==IC: Kairan//Near CHI Building==-Kairan frowned, as he had moved to a seat further back, as Gust burst into the Hovercraft, and Kal followed. Kairan jumped out, as he heard Emma's comment, and nodded to himself, as he ran into the building, and looked around."Hey, Emma, CHI building, right? Just wanna check and see where 'here' is." Kairan said, even as he ran through the halls, looking around. Some of the CHI guards moved to stand in Kairan's way, but he held up his arm, which showed his Technan Guard status, and quickly moved around them, using his Calix to help with that. Kairan paused, as he reached a room that had four scorch marks on the floor, and looked up to see everyone, just as they were beginning to scatter. He frowned, as everyone else seemed shaken up for some reason or another, but Kairan smiled, as he walked forward, and saw Emma, after multiple hours."Yo." Kairan said, as he waved toward Emma; and frowned, as he looked around."What's going on? Everyone's rushing around, and, well, there's a smouldering pile of rubble where the Citadel and Housing District is... and what happened to Zero? He's not answering his Comm Link, and that never happens." Kairan said, already knowing that through something that had happened that day, there was a reason for it; and none of the reasons were good reasons.-==IC: Blade//Krahzia, somewhere==-Blade groaned, as he sat up in bed, eyes focusing, as he grabbed his head.Where...? Blade thought with a frown, as he looked around.This certainly isn't the desert or anywhere near where I was... And it doesn't look like New Metru Nui either... Could it be...? Blade thought, as he slowly got out of bed, not knowing exactly what was going on. He found it odd that he still had his equipment, which made him wonder if this really was the hackers' city, but they could either have mistaken him for an actual hacker, or just took pity on him. Blade knew his wounds hadn't healed fully, but didn't care, as he walked toward one of the windows, and looked out, a frown on his face, as he tried to get his bearings once more.-==IC: Alca//Halfway Point Between New Metru Nui and Techna Nui Wreckage==-Alca wiped his brow, as the trio reached the spot that Alca had been thinking of."Perfect. If you would..." Alca said to the Toa of Stone, as he walked toward the spot Alca was indicating, and then stabbed into the rock, as it began to fragment, and break apart, the rubble eventually spreading, even as the Toa of Stone jumped back, to avoid being caught in it. The rubble eventually settled, and the Toa of Stone walked back, and concentrated on it, as he began to fuse the pieces of rock back into one piece, but didn't connect the sides again. Instead, he called upon the power of his Pakari quickly, and picked up the rock, and threw it off to the side, looking into what could now be called a crater, even as Alca raised an eyebrow."How interesting. So this is actually a metallic planet... This might just work out even better for my plan than I initially believed..." Alca said, as he motioned to the Toa of Iron, who began to move toward the metal, in an effort to mold it into at least one room to start with; to clear out as much iron as he could, to move onto the next portions of the plan...

IC: VorexVorex sneaked up behind Kairan."We know what happened to Zero..." Vorex grinned. "Zero is dead."OOC: I think Zero said his name at some point. XP

-==IC: Kairan==-Kairan gripped his sword's handle, as he turned his head slightly to look at Vorex, and then spun around, as he pointed his sword toward the fear-master, a scowl on his face."How do you know that." Kairan demanded coldly, something about him reminded him of that odd moment when he had started to see his worst fears... And the guy just gave him a creepy feeling in general, especially after sneaking up behind him and saying that someone was dead.

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

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: Vorex"He arrested us. But he had to leave us. He died for everyone else." The grin remained on Vorex's face, creepy and out of place. "But he heard the whispers. And he's with them, now. I still hear him."

IC: DridakDridak merely continued to sit the way he had been, continuing to observe the situation. Everything kept getting better and better: Mror suddenly out of whack and Twila already tipsy. Could this day get any more perfect?"I'll play too." he pitched in cheekily, expecting his new 'friend' to pull out a gun or something of the sorts.

-==IC: Kairan//CHI Headquarters==-Kairan growled at that, and narrowed his eyes."Stop speaking nonsense; what are you talking about?!" Kairan asked, as he had not gotten the memo about the poison gas that had nearly killed all of his friends yet.

IC: Vorex"They put corrosive nerve-gas in the ventilation. Zero went to the heart of the ventilation, to save us all. He sealed off the gas, and it ate him up." Vorex's face had become more serious. "And then the whispers took him."

-==IC: Kairan//CHI Headquarters==-Kairan was still fairly confused."Where did this happen? And when? I don't recall hearing anything of this..." Kairan said, and frowned.Unless it happened while I was still trapped...

IC: Vorex"Right here, an hour or two ago. We were here. Zero brought us here."

IC: Emma - CHI Tower"Someone Esao rubbed the wrong way, I guess (must have been really hard), and decided to chuck a canister of nerve-toxin into the vent system here. It's all clear now, but it was pretty bad."Emma was careful to avoid mentioning how she nearly died. She didn't want to needlessly worry Kairan.-Void

-==IC: Kairan//CHI Headquarters==-Kairan looked at him in shock."Here? Someone unleashed corrosive gas on the CHI?!" Kairan asked, shocked and surprised about that.Why would anyone do anything like that...? Kairan thought, and frowned.Was Emma in the building at the time...? What motive could have caused the attack...? Kairan then heard what Emma said, and nodded slightly."So it's Esao's fault. Remind me to have some words with him later." Kairan said to Emma with a slight smirk to show he was probably joking."So; anything else happen while an out-of-her-mind AI had me captured?" Kairan asked, wanting to get caught up finally.

IC: Emma - CHI Tower"Well, there was the nerve-toxin attack, the bombing on the Housing District, Esao going on a complete psychotic rampage during the Hacker interrogation. What else... Oh yeah, another Hacker trying to kill Esao, and Ryjak paying us a little, friendly visit."-Void

-==IC: Kairan//CHI Headquarters==-Kairan sighed, and then shook his head."I see Esao's been getting himself into trouble since I was captured." Kairan said, as he slapped his palm to his face, and then frowned."Is that why everyone's running around like a chicken with their head cut off?" Kairan asked, trying to confirm that's why everyone seemed to be in panic mode.

IC: Zaphos"So ... how's life?" said Zaphos as he watched the proceedings.

IC: NikarraNikarra grabbed a nearby Toa of Sonics and ordered him to magnify her voice. "I'm sorry if you didn't hear me the first time, so I'll repeat myself: GET YOUR ***ES TO DEBRIEF 1 OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL DRAG THEM THERE!"Thankyou for listening."OOC: Alright, people, that's your cue.

OOC: Emissary, you forgot the Citadel bombings.IC: Mror"Good!" Mror grinned as he withdrew from his coat.... A deck of cards."Or do you not like card games?" He withdrew a deck of Uno cards. "We could play Uno. Or Scrabble Flash. Or Chess." As he listed games, each one was drawn from his pocket.IC: Tain"HELLO! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?" It appears no one could. So, instead, Tain sent out a blanket message to all implants within range.>Recipient: All implants within two miles of this position.Anyone receiving this, I am Silence. My companions and I are at an unknown location within the Techna Nui ruins. Please assist.

[iC: Stronin]> Hi Silence. I'm also in unknown location inside the ruins. I'm trying to have a conversation with a Computer Lady, who is forcing me to go through with her kinky tests. So sorry, cannot assist."

IC: Tain>You met her too? We just escaped. Well, not so much escaped as cut a deal.

[b[iC: Stronin][/b]>Wait, you escaped her kinky tests?
