Techna

IC: Tain, Outside Housing DistrictTain had drawn his pistol the instant shots were fired, and continued to hold it loosely at his sides. He decided to back Ga'mal up. Directing his words at the two combatants, he said "This fight is illogical. Neither of you have anything to gain, and a lot to lose. My advice would be lower the weapons, calm down and talk it out." It didn't take a genius to know he had used his mask to speed up his thought processes.

IC (Housing District):"It was a means of punishment. To be mistaken by a security robot is disgraceful. Inform your superiors about my apparent profile change. If you cannot do that, I will have to do it myself," Bukaj informed.

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"Yeah, that will work."He agreed, looking at all of the books around him."There sure are quite a few here."IC (Housing District): Vrf-3"Then that is called assault upon an officer of Techa defense."He replied coldly, though he was certainly wishing he had a defensive weapon about now... or even arms to grab something to shield himself with."Negative, I do not have access to Data files, you will have to speak to others about that."

IC (Housing District):"Assault? I haven't even touched you. We are on the same side, for I have been keeping the virus from spreading," Bukaj countered the bucket of bolts.

IC: Zaphos - Information DistrictFrostelus - a word that brought fear to many; a species that was hated by all; a species known for being nearly unstoppable in battle; a species that had ended the lives of many noble Toa. Yet one member of the species was happily walking down the streets of the Information District with no signs of the species' infamous blood-lust present. This obviously shocked many beings around him, for they had never heard of a happy Frostelus.Until now.Zaphos was enjoying his walk, for his day had gone rather well. He had managed to deliver several pizzas on time, and even managed to get tips from the people he delivered said foodstuffs to. It was a first for him, for no one had ever tipped him before today. So that was why he was whistling happily, attempting to both annoy and spread happiness to the people around him."With this money I can finally get Premier Membership for Techna-Power!" he mentally cackled as he continued walking.OOC: Zaphos is now open for interaction.

IC (Housing District): Vrf-3"On the same side or not, you still tried to shoot me, and that's not very nice."The hovering robo-orb replied, rather grouchily. Getting shot at wasn't his idea of fun.

IC: Levacius / Public LibraryLevacius, deciding he was finished with his business of loitering and thinking, headed out the door, moving back into the Information District. Using his wristband, he shrunk down to a size small enough that Kelwra could be used as a mount - and slightly smaller, so he could have some relaxation. Giving the mental comand, the two flew across the information district."Sure beats walking..." he thought to himself.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Drone (Housing District)The mechanical Toa, more machine than organic being now, sat on a bench in the Housing District, resting his elbows on his knees as he leaned forward and starred at the ground. He only looked up from time to time just see some people passing him and his trusty partner: Drone 2. The two's identity as hackers was currently unknown at a moment. Being a Toa of robotics, controlling cameras was easy, preventing any footage of the duo being taken at all. Drone 2 was adept at this as well since he could hack into them. Yes, Hackers had to be cautious as to not be captured or seen committing a crime. A half robotic, half male voice emanated from Drone."Lovely day. Ready to get going, 2?"

OOC: Why doesn't Solaris know Gentii, the guy who's been working there for a while now? Is it cuz Sol doesn't get out enough? =PIC: Before Onua could answer-"Oh, he was there, all right."-Another voice chuckled in for him.The ga-matoran assistant who had just interrupted smirked. "We were quaking in our greaves as a Psionics toa with a Komau ran in, shot the guards, and demanded to know where the library's central computer was. Gentii told her that the main was his, not Solaris'. She ended up leaving," she finished casually.Onua gave a naval salute fitting with his blazer. A light color touched his cheeks. "For the Public Library, Toa."

"Now, let's forget about all of this attacking business," cuts in the Matoran. She wanted to go and didn't want to see any more blood on her hands.Drone 2 smiles underneath the entire garm of a robot like his partner. "Ready," he replies. "What's the target for today?" he whispers only loud enough for the two of them to hear. No one was really paying attention to them any way. To the beings passing by they just looked like heavily armed robotic guards instead of the normal armless ones. The disguise payed off.-Mef Man

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District, talking to Drone 2)"Surprisingly, today is one of the few rare days where my mind is blank. I didn't get around to doing any research last night so it seems we'll have to look around. If we can't find a target to hack, we'll just have to kill some Techna scientists or something of the sort."In the distance, some odd Matoran could be seen starring at them for no apparent reason. The two didn't stick out at all, they appeared to be simple robotic guards, installed in the Housing District for security. His forearm turned into an assault rifle, transformers-style, and he pointed it at the tiny being who went scrambling away as he saw the threat.OOC: Any ideas, Mef? Free for interaction, I think.

IC: Nikaron"Dude we are on Techna-Nui, libraries here imply computers. Also tell me again why I'm looking the legality of that weapon. I really don't see a point to it." Nikaron admitted.

IC: Zaphos - Information DistrictZaphos entered the library, quickly looking around for one of the public computers they possessed. It took a few seconds, but he managed to spot one, ignoring the stares some people gave him. It was normal for others to stare at him, possibly because of the fact that he, a Frostelus, was in a library without the intention of burning the entire building down."Let's see," he muttered as he sat down on the chair, turning on the computer. "Premier Membership...AHA, I've got it!"A few minutes after buying Premier Membership for Techna-Power, the Frostelus promptly began trolling others on the Internet, before logging off and shutting down the computer. He had other business to attend to, like borrowing a book that had just been returned recently: '1001 Internet Memes You Did Not Know About'.

IC (Housing District) Vrf-3"Attacking... why would you attack me? I'm unarmed!"He started gliding backwards."I'm just a security robot..."He flew off rather quickly in a random direction, trying to escape the group that was against him.IC (Information District): Kyrahk"... I don't think he got it legally."He explained, seeing what was actually in the library. His mind had flown back many years on him for a moment, seeing real books... he missed books.

IC - PC TowerHe saw the bullets coming. One was going to kill him. The other was going to kill Amnchey. Neither death was acceptable.He began to dodge when something pounded against his back. Before he could register what had done it, there was air in his face. Good and bad. He had dodged the bullet, which was now lodged in the wall. The was good. He was falling towards the ground. That was bad.As he flailed, he whipped his sword out. Every move now had to be perfect and for a purpose. The sword shattered a window and hooked on the flooring. Matrapolix took a deep breath. Any bright ideas from Forcyte would be useful now.Of course, none came.Matra would have to do this on his own. One implant-powered kick, and the window under him caved in. It felt weaker than the top floor, and that made sense, he supposed.With a swing, he was back in the building. Bursting across the room, drawing the eyes of workers, he kicked down the door and clicked the elevator button. The few seconds it took seemed like forever as he waited. It opened. He stepped inside. The button to the top floor didn't stand a chance.There's no place/Like outer space/I can't wait to be there.Matra groaned. Elevator music.

"Looks like he's leaving," says the Matoran to the others. She turns her attention to the round being. "Now, don't attack him again.""Hey," mutters the being to his ally. "Here comes a possible Techna servant to destroy," he adds upon seeing the approaching Vrf-3. "How about we take him out as a first for today?"-Mef Man

IC: Zaphos - Public Library, Information DistrictZaphos walked up to one of the shelves, glancing slightly at the Rahkshi nearby, before returning to his attempts to find the book he wanted to borrow. It seemed as if it would be harder than he thought, for there were much more books than he expected. The 'A' section was filled with auto-biographies of so many people, and the 'B' section had so much information on bombs. He was not looking for those.He was looking for the Holy Grail of the Internet - 1001 Memes That You Did Not Know About.

IC (Science District):"Demoris, time to leave," Æon orders as she sensed a being coming up. Knowing she couldn't give the right answers to a possible superior, she and her companion flew down, disguised as if they are invisible.IC (Housing District):"Can we just go already?" the Hyvia groaned, sick of this constant arguing.OOC: It's hard spelling Æon's name without an iPod. Maybe I should get a Danish keyboard.

Sylux was really angry now. His target had evaded his sniper bullet and went down a floor via window and into an elevator. Whether he was going up or down, Sylux wasn't sure. Just in case, he fired off another round at Amnchey while keeping his eyes on the rooftop of the building if the Toa tried to come after him, a futile attempt.Noticing the orb-like robot that Drone 2 mentioned, an idea suddenly came into Drone's mind. Rather than physically talking now, he activated his brain implant to talk to his partner rather than aloud.Prepare the obedience hack. This guy could be useful to us.

Give me a second he replies using his radio built into the Kanohi he spoke through.Drone 2 pulled out a small laptop that he was carrying. He uses the small antenna on it to lock onto the nearby security cameras. Soon, the cameras were relaying footage of the walkway a few days ago. The guards receiving the information probably wouldn't remember the same beings today and (chances were) the guards who saw the footage weren't on guard today.Finished. Let's make this fast before more guards arrive from the noise.The being stands up and looks toward the being approaching them before looking back down to his feet, not wanting to attract any attention.-Mef Man

IC (Top floor of building):As luck would have it, Forcyte, Shade, and Matra exited their elevators at precisely the same time.Forcyte swept his eyes over Matra in a cursory glance. "You fell? You have tiny particles of glass embedded in your armor that match the lower level windows of this place."Matra nodded. "As a matter of fact, I did. Because I was fending off an assassin. Alone."Forcyte seemed unruffled by the obvious pointedness of the final word. "I found an assistant," he continued, pointing at Shade. "A Zyglak, but a loyal one."More words were interrupted by a hail of gunfire, as Amnchey ducked down beneath her desk, narrowing escaping the bullets.OOC: Toa Techna, assemble!

IC: Drone (Plotting outside of Housing District) / Sylux (Rooftop, Science District)Once his partner was finished uploading the past day's footage into the local security camera system, he got up like his partner did and looked towards the robot coming closer. He looked around to find no one else in the vicinity. Drone blocked VRF-3's path and was prepared to pull out his gun if someone suddenly showed up out of nowhere and decided to attack them.Sylux was right to glance over at the top of the building from time to time, only to find three people emerging from it. He quickly shifted his sniper and aimed at the trio, firing three plasma bullets at each of them in quick succession. He had the advantage of distance and his Kualsi, making it easy to harm them and run away if need be.

IC: The Metal Cat (Kinksh) / CEO's Tower (Implant Your Cash! Backroom)The metallic cat growled as an energy ball hit nearby, rushing behind the table. Leaping out, it fired two blasts from its weapons, which flew out and struck two of the ADR perfectly in the power core, disabling them and causing them to fall down, deactivated at least temporarily.Back in his backroom, Kinksh grinned. Two perfect shots pulled off! Still, there were a few more.The beast moved forward, near the window, and took fire twice more, taking out another ADR with a shot to the CPU - that one was out permanently. When the Techna arrived, the cat growled. This wasn't a fight he could win - he could personally take all of the Techna out with ease, but not there, and not with only the cat.Still, he had one less gambit. The cats weapons took aim at a hanging chandelier right in front of the elevator. Two shots went out, striking the thing holding it in position, and causing it to fall on the Techna a couple Bio below.He even had an escape opprotunity - one of those plaforms used by window cleaners while at their work, held onto the top by two ropes. The black feline leapt out the window and towards it, grabbing on with the edge of its paws and pulling itself up. Two shots fired at the device holding the ropes, which was allowed to fall freely towards the ground below. It came to a stop a few stories above the ground, a fall that, while dangerous for a fleshy, was nothing for the robot, which simply jumped off and rushed away."Come in."Kinksh said at a knock to the door. Thuiop and Swuiop stepped in. Eyes narrowed, he said, "Close the door."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC (Information District) Kyrahk.He was certain for a moment that he had seen a Frostelus go by. But then, he shook his head. He was just imagining things. Until he looked up that is.It was indeed a Frostelus, another species hated and feared by Matoran and Toa alike. This was rather interesting for him. he didn't often see creature like that around here, he had thought himself the only 'evil' species member around here."Hey, you! Frostelus!"He shouted, hoping to attract the creature's attention.IC (Housing District) Vrf-3He moved swiftly, until he thought he was a safe enough distance away from the attacker and his henchmen."Try to attack me, do they? The annoying little pests..."He was stopped by the appearance of someone in his path."Oh, I am sorry to have hovered into your path of transport."

Drone 2 smiled beneath the outfit of the robotic suit. Here went the hard part.The being sits back down on the bench and takes out his laptop, ready to hack into Vrf-3 when Drone could attach the outlet that acted as a Wi-Fi outlet for the laptop. Once attached, Drone 2 could start hacking the bot.-Mef Man

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District)"You should be." replied Drone, still looking around to see if people were observing them. If anything, the group appeared to be engaging in a regular conversation. Luckily for them, no one was there. "Sorry but now you're going to be our friend." Drone activated his powers of robotics and put the bot under his control, immobilizing their victim and controlling its functions."Pass me the outlet."

IC: Zaphos - Public Library, Information DistrictZaphos turned to the source of the noise, and blinked several times. He hadn't expected to see a Rahkshi present on the ship, for he had thought them to be extinct since the death of the Makuta. However, it seemed as if there was one alive, on a ship filled with the less morally ambiguous beings of the universe."Yes," he asked. "What is it?"

Drone 2 tosses the outlet to Drone.Here we go.-Mef Man

IC: Drone (Hacking VRF-3, Outside of Housing District)Drone caught the outlet which was plugged in to 2's PC and plugged it into an outlet he found on VRF-3's body. Now the obedience virus could be implanted into the robot's core if 2 could get past its defenses. Then again, 2 was an expert hacker and rarely ever failed, especially with Drone controlling VRF-3, making his job that much easier.Do it.

IC (Housing District) Vrf-3The Panic robot twitched as he struggled against the control of the other being. But whatever they were doing, it was holding him firmly in place. It felt like he had been covered in lead, nothing would move. His brain system seemed to be working, although not as quickly, in a sluggish state. Maybe it had something to do with they way it was designed, he didn't know. But even that was enough for him to know that this wasn't going to end well.It was like something trying to dig into his mind. He knew he had to fight it.IC (Information District) Kyrahk"Well, I have not seen any Frostelus here at all, so I thought I would say hi."Junkyard commented. He was glad to see atleast one other hated species was only this space city.

Drone 2 nods his head inside the suit before beginning the process of uploading the virus."Karz is this defense old-tech," he says over the radio. "I mean, Bara-Magna old."Soon, Drone 2 was past the defenses without any alarms being sounded. The virus was being uploaded now. Ten percent, then jumping to eighty, then ninety-eight."Just about finished," he says over the radio.-Mef Man

IC: Zaphos - Public Library, Information District"I haven't seen a Rahkshi here before either," Zaphos replied. "I thought you guys were extinct."He held out one of his four hands for the other being to shake."My name's Zaphos," he said. "What's yours?"

IC (Top floor of building):With his enhanced senses, Forcyte heard it first: the crack as the coupling was shattered, then the whoosh of air as a quarter-ton of metal and crystal began to descend towards him at increasing velocity."Look out!" he yelled, leaping away from the inevitable impact...-Shyyrn

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District)"Good." said Drone with that robotic male voice of his. He relinquished his control over their new ally as the virus was done uploading. Now they could get some real work done. They had successfully turned an ally of Techna into their own and he was under their complete control."Nice work, 2."

"Thanks," he replies as he watches the bar fill up and say "100%." "I'll check back on the camera relays to make sure there'll showing the old data," adds the being before clicking on the second tab. Yes, it was still showing the old recording. Everything was going well.-Mef Man

IC (Outside of Housing District) Vrf-3The hacking didn't take long at all, but as it reached completion, it seemed to have a rather unexpected effect on the robot. His voice module started letting out a wailing screech, almost as though in pain. Then... it stopped. The Robot's mechanical eye flickered off and it plummeted, landing roughly on the ground, as if it had just been shut down. But then the light came back on, and the robot slowly started moving again, rising back into the air.IC (Information District) Kyrahk"Well, I don't think I'm dead... but I guess I haven't checked for a while..."He chuckled slightly, reaching out with his mechanical hand to shake with that of the Frostelus."The name is Kyrahk."

IC: Zaphos - Information District"Nice to meet you Kyrahk," the Frostelus replied. "So, what do you do for a living?"

Drone 2 looks toward the computer then back up at the two. "A group of Techna robots have been called to this area from that screech; let's hurry this up," says the Matoran over the radio.-Mef Man

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District) "Well? How do you feel?" he asked the newly hacked VRF-3. The being should now feel loyal to the two drones, obedient and ready to listen to their commands. Although, this is what Drone assumed as it was their first time using the virus in an actual sentient being, not just some mindless robot. But the question was short lived as ADRs would soon be converging on the area. Drone unplugged the cable from VRF-3 and handed it back to 2 before leading them somewhere safe."You're right. Let's go."

"Good," he replies before folding the laptop up and packing it away. The Matoran grabs the device being handed to him and packs it up as well. "Ready," Drone 2 adds over the radio before standing up and looking toward the direction of the guards coming toward them.-Mef Man
