Techna: Breakdown

IC: Reichenbach> Assuming your 'game' will be over in an hour, where should I meet you?

IC (???):> The run-down Ferris wheel just outside the city. Ignore the mutilated corpses, I don't have time to clean them up. That isn't where I am now, however. That's a story for another time. Is that all?

IC: Reichenbach> Indeed it is.> Call disconnected.

IC: Kinksh / Hidden BaseWhen the call being sent to Joker disconnected, a chuckle could be heard - but not one of amusement.---> "So, what is it you want, Reichenbach?"He had been connected for the last few hours now, even before Reichenbach had called, and had considered taunting him about that. But it was easier to just let your enemy feel they have the advantage before you closed on them, wasn't it?IC: Ezraftin / Outside New Metru-NuiEzraftin stopped, answering the two calls he got, and putting them on a three person line."Alright you two." he replied. "I've got two others with me at the moment, and I don't know how much they want to wait. If you've got the time, make haste outside the East Gate. We're heading to the Eastern Canyon at the following coordinates..."The coordinates were sent over."Trakuda, was it? I will need to ask you about any powers you have. I don't like surprises in combat from my own side. But we can deal with that at the destination. We have a good three or four Kios head start on you."OOC: AMTaOS later, for Stronin & Reet, while I finish off the big test. It will feature ---- Energy Fields--- Flight--- Elemental Powers--- Soundproof, Bulletproof Glass--- White plastic walls--- Two Companion Vahki--- Lots of buttons--- Pits--- Water--- A 1v1 competition of skills--- Getting closer to the cake--- Being made fun of-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Reichenbach> I think it's about time we met, face-to-face, don't you?

IC: Kinksh / Hidden Base---> "No. No, I don't. Do you really mistake me for a fool?"-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Reichenbach> Of course not.> But I also know I'm pretty much the only person whose location you don't know.> Which means I have the advantage.> Unless we meet up (or you at least send a minion), in which case you can track me to wherever you wish. Doesn't that sound fun?

IC (Travelling):> I'm already on my way there. Gravity, Kadin. See you in a bit.> Call disconnected.Nice guy. To the point, bit serious. For the first time in a while, I have no argument against this. The Ignika could help us a lot. Stop that! It's you, not me. And don't say- We're the same person. Darn it!I think I'll end this entry right there. I have to have a chat with... Myself, and fly for a bit. Next stop, Ezraftin!

IC: Kinksh / Hidden Base---> "There's the problem, now isn't it? You don't know where I am, either."---> "Let me be honest with you. There is no criminal game I love more than the thrill of the arena. In my time on Stelt, I would willingly enter the matches to fight the most vicious slaves in hand-to-hand combat. Eventually, I wasn't allowed to bet on myself anymore."---> "But as it is, Reichenach, we're not equals. You may think we are, but we're not. I am your superior in every way save one."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Reichenbach> That one being what, exactly?> Is it the fact that I don't listen in on other people's conversations?

IC: Kinksh / Hidden Base---> "No."---> "It's that you're a lot better at dying."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Reichenbach> This is the part where I clap sarcastically, to indicate the pity I feel for you.> Clap.> Clap.> Clap.> Well, there's always the fact that I currently have a virus which I have already sent to you through this line.> Are we equals now?

IC: Kinksh / Hidden Base---> "Yes, it's a lovely virus. Quite simple, really, I deleted it as it went down the line. There's a number of viruses I've had to deal with. A new one you just put together, I see. Not very complex. I could have used Mortuns 720 and blocked it out."---> "Let me make this clear. You are not a criminal mastermind. You're a terrorist, and a threat to this city. And I will not give you any more warnings. Bad things are going to happen, you see. They already are. For instance, I've already narrowed you down to three areas. Mostly because I've destroyed all of the other bases that you favor using."---> "Don't call again. Good day."Call DisconnectedAttempt to reconnect N/N?-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: ReichenbachOf course, the virus Kinksh had deleted was a bit of a joke (it was even called redherring). The true virus was, in fact, the 'whispers' which Vorex had spoken of so often. They were unlike any normal virus, so they couldn't be deleted.Within moments, Kinksh would begin to hear the repeated chorus of thousands of lost souls.Reichenbach grinned as he thought of the pain Kinksh would have to endure.

IC: Kinksh / Hidden BaseThere was one problem with Reichenbach's theory - it was the fact that Kinksh didn't really care. He had been alive for a lot longer than Reichenbach, and was a lot stronger willed than most individuals were. Not to mention that he never used a brain implant to contact anyone, so it would be isolated to him.Indeed, it was more of an amusement for him than pain, as he quietly resumed his resting position, feet up on a desk.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Leon - Outside New Metru Nui -"So we have two new members coming? Awesome." Leon said, though he sounded less than enthusiastic.

OOC: If this is incorrect, please tell me.IC: DarkonDarkon awoke from his unsettling dreams, his body tense and sweat covered. Rolling out of bed, he began to seek Mirtue.

IC: Alfon Meet you there.Being a Toa of robotics was handy dandy when you were surrounded by technology, offering you so much at your disposa. For instance, Alfon examined an airship currently hovering slowly in mid-air, now being able to transform into a similar vehicular form at the cost of his invisibility cloak. Activating his power, he pulled off a transformer in the streets before zooming off in direction of the rendez-vous point.In no time, Alfon had arrived, transforming in mid-air before landing firmly on his feet, examining his surroundings as he got his bearings. Nothing of interest really seemed to be worthy of note so he sat on the floor, leaning against a slab of junk as he waited.

OOC:

OOC: If this is incorrect, please tell me.IC: DarkonDarkon awoke from his unsettling dreams, his body tense and sweat covered. Rolling out of bed, he began to seek Mirtue.

IC (Eastern Canyon):Log: 12:05 AMIt didn't take me long to arrive. The ability to fly is quite handy, you see. Looks like someone's here already, hopefully one of the people I spoke to. He's blue, which is always a good sign.I'll just hover in the air and see what happens."You there. Is this the meeting spot the being Ezraftin specified?"...Or not. I wish I could control myself sometimes.

OOC: Teal to be specific IC: AlfonAlfon turned to look at the newcomer, obviously another recruit for the team Ezraftin was establishing. Offering a hand, Alfon spoke in a charismatic voice, one which was hard to hate no matter how annoying it would possibly get."Yessir, this here's the place. Name's Alfon, Toa of robotics, can do a bunch of weird stuff to your implants and equipment. You?"

IC (Eastern Canyon):My voice tends to raise in pitch and friendliness when I talk. My, uh, other self tends to have a colder and more emotionless voice. I will handle this. No, no you won't. The last thing we need is another situation like Boyo-Nui. Ah, that hunk of rock was gonna blow up anyway..."Name's Trakuda, Toa of Gravity. I can squash you into paste or launch you into space- Nevermind him. I'm the friendly one."I hope he isn't confused by my... Condition. I'm shaking his hand now and he seems pretty relaxed. Nice guy.

OOC: Oops. Well... Let's say that Darkon was a quick sleeper. IC: DarkonDarkon opened the door, pausing only to bow, and then stepping inside. "I'm ready to begin any services you require." Noticing a clock on the wall, Darkon quickly added. "At anytime you require, as well."

IC: AlfonSomewhat disturbed by Trakuda's condition, the air surrounding the two seemed to get just a tad on the awkward side of things for Alfon, releasing the Toa of gravity's hand, keeping up his usual charismatic act.Man, this guy's been smoking some pretty funky bananas..."So, ready to attempt to find the Ignika, mask of all things living and all that blubbery blah blah blah? 'Cause I sure am. Beats getting stuck in a building full of Umbrae trying to eat your organs and suck all them juices out of your veins...even when you are robotic. I want nothing to do with those freaky deaky beasties."

OOC: Mars and he should meet after her torture. The one can live on the amount of sleep one gets in a jiffy, while the other sleeps like a feline.As well, seeing 's neither are exactly normal when compared to the standards of their natural race, they might have a little to talk about...IC: Mirtue's eyes widened. He put down the book."Oh my," He said, barely retaining his dignity while expressing his amazement at Darkon's seemingly supertoa ability to become totally rested in very brief periods of sleep."Well, if you truly cannot sleep," Said the toa thoughtfully, "Then please do take a walk down to Tahu's Textiles. You'll find a list of what I require there in the third drawer from the left under the shop's counter, as well as a map of New Metru Nui."

IC (Eastern Canyon):"I have no idea what you just said, but once I was trapped in a room with a load of guys, and I didn't realise they were zombies, and I was all like 'hey, how's it going' and they all just looked at me and tried to eat my brains. I managed to flatten 'em and escape though. So y'know, kindred spirits buddy. Say, what did you do to get yourself up against Umbrae?"

IC: Lekar (Hovercraft)"Is the hovercraft on autopilot?" Lekar asked. IC: Krash (Krahzia)"zzzzzz-COCOA!-zzzzzz" he mumbled, having fallen asleep. Zakaro

IC: Alfon"Dunno, apparently the entire world's got it in for us CHI people. First someone tries to gas the living pulp out of us and get our eyeballs to bulge out of their sockets as we suffocate to death and or dissintegrate." Alfon said, sounding way too charismatic as he spoke. Most people would have been ticked off, especially with the next part coming up."Fifty percent of the staff died, we're holed up in the building watching ringmaster Esao entertain us with his rather nasty ideal of a show, torturing the freakshows that bombed the housing district. Then BAM!" he said, yelling the last word out as he rose in a blur, standing right in front of Trakuda, probably startling him."The creepy crawlers decide to show up and try to kill us. Ain't life grand?"

OOC: Since Tyler isn't here to do it, I'm doing it. Next hour in-game, now 1:00 AM.

IC (Eastern Canyon):Blimey, that sounds awesome!"Blimey, that sounds pretty grim."

IC: Ezraftin / Eastern CanyonEzraftin and the other two finally came over a large hill of dirt, and he moved as swiftly as he could down towards where the other two were.Checking to see that the whole assembly was there, he said, "Alright. So it's the five of us against whatever happens to be living in that ship. We have no idea what that could be, and frankly, it's probably not very nice whatever it is.""Our destination is the Science District, and the CKC Tower, where Mata-Nui was formerly being used as the SCPU. It's doubtful that there's anything major guarding it, but... there's still a chance.""Are we all ready?"IC: AMTaOS (w/Reet and Stronin) / Ultimate Testing ChamberThe doors slid open for both Reet and Stronin, allowing them to look outwards into the testing chamber beyond. The two would be staring directly at each other, from two opposite sides of a dark abyss. The only light was that behind them, allowing them to view each other - they were a good 10 Bio (15 yards) away.The lights flared on, revealing a white room. Directly in front of them was a square Bio platform, large enough to stand upon, with a small pedestal upon it, a red button affixed to the top. To the left of that was another platform, down at the floor. The room continued another 3 Bio to Stronins left and Reets right; another 20 Bio to their opposite directions. There were doors up above, with no platform in front of them, at the far ends of the room. Some sort of glass wall cut through the center of the room, cutting it into two halves - one for each.Before further inspection could be done, a voice called down, "At the far side of the room, we have a Toa of Iron. No Kanohi powers. Companion Vahki Model B, Advanced Voice Activation, Attack Model.""At the other far side of the room, we have a Toa of Iron. Kadin. Companion Vahki Model A, Voice & Rod Controls, Defensive Model.""This is a test to see whether or not the Model A Companion Vahki or the Model B Companion Vahki is more successful. To keep voice interference to a minimum, a soundproof barrier has been placed in front of you. It's also pretty strong, so don't try to break it.""You will not be involved in this test personally. Instead, it is a test of your Companion Vahki, and how well you can control it across identical obstacle courses. In order to begin the test, hit the button to raise the platform, so that the Companion Vahki may be provided a way down.""What's stopping you from going down, too? Nothing. I'm just asking you not to. For science. Also, if you leave your platform, which the Companion Vahki will move for you, it will result in a bad mark on your record, followed by... death.""Again - hit the red button in front of you. It will raise a platform to the side. Get the Vahki down to the ground. Once that happens, the room will be... readjusted... and your Vahki will navigate you to the end with your navigation."OOC: This will be a race! I'll just explain the rest of the test later so I don't need to do the rest of the course now.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

OOC: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack.IC: Emma - Debrief 1Emma glanced over to see Kinvex walking up to her, "Hey Kinvex. We're planning a strike on Krahzia, starting with a scouting party."She turned to Kairan, "Sweet. It's a useful skill, now you'll be able to bring some lucky girl on a romantic ride-drive. Or rain lead on Hackers, it's up to you."-Void

IC: Hrunja"So, how many of us are there?"[iC: Stronin]"Sounds simple enough," said the Iron Toa.

IC: Gust (Bullpen, CHI)Gust shook his head.>Could you deal with this, Kal? I don't have time to negotiate with psychopaths.IC: Esao (Director of Field Ops Office, CHI)I sat, staring at Ryllia for a minute, and then sighed, sitting down beside her and holding her."Forget everything else. Right now, I just want to be able to hold you. Like I used to be able to before...everything." OOC: Official in-game time is actually 12:30 A.M. Not 1:00.-Teezy

OOC: Sounds like a plan. A half Rahkshi, Half Toa, and a fire-arms expert of a female Fe-Matoran would certianly have something to talk about.IC: DarkonDarkon nodded. "I'll be back shortly." He said as he began to walk out of the room. He paused, turning his head slightly to look at Mirtue. "That book you're reading..." He started, his voice strained as he thought. "That author's a master. His other works, especially 300,048, are great reads." That said, he ducked under the doorway, and made his way towards Tahu's Textiles OOC: George Orwell is indeed a master.

IC: Alfon"Simple enough...I still can't help but think that the next few hours will be filled with insanity..." Alfon muttered.

IC: MrorWith a grin, Mror played a wild card. He picked red. He had only red cards in his hand.

OOC: Yeah. IC: Mirtue nodded in simple assent. He then submerged himself in text once more.

IC: Leon - Easter Canyon -"I'm ready." IC: Twila - Bar, Krahzia -Twila played a red five.

IC: Hrunja"So am I."
