Techna

IC: Savina - BattleSavina tried to struggle out of Zaphos' grasp, but was already too worn out and wounded to really put up much of a fight. She looked at Tain, her eyes very blood shot, she meowed weakly, and let him drag her wherever.

IC (Technology Tower, main CPU room):Two guards stood outside the entrance to the CPU room.Ten seconds later, they were no longer standing.Raknar passed their still-convulsing forms, followed by Evryx and the other warrior, and hacked into the electronic door lock. The door slid open--The guards inside had just enough time to register they were no longer in a secure area before Evryx's pistol rang out thrice; three thumps followed, one for each guard.Raknar was already halfway to the main interface. "Ryjak ain't stealin' my thunder," he growled, reaching the interface and activating the screen. His fingers flew over the keyboard as he triggered an emergency backdoor entrance, then hacked through to the shut-down switch."Let's see what he does when everything goes dark."His right index finger hovered over the Enter button.Then the lights went out, not just in the Technology Tower but all across the Techna Nui.A voice sounded in everyone's minds: You will kill yourselves...Then, as if the voice's grasp on the mainframe had slipped away, the lights flickered back to life and the voice faded into silence.Raknar blinked. Shrugged. Pressed the Enter key.And flew backward as a powerful electric current coursed through his body. He could've sworn he'd checked for logic bombs in the beginning.Or maybe...His eyes closed....he hadn't.His limbs twitched spasmodically, victim to spontaneous nerve triggers caused by an excess of electric current. He strained to reach the keyboard, but to no avail.YOU WILL NOT.

IC: Golden Hammer Syndicate / Golden Hammer BaseKinksh sat down at the desk to the late Levacius, looking about. The entire room still shined, and that glow illuminated the surrounding area. There was nothing he could do about it - it appeared the lightning Toa hoped to be a beacon in the darkness. Now that beacon was just problems. Still, he had amassed a few allies further, and now had a good assembly in the area of the base and outside of it - almost 40 criminals and vagabonds from across the city."We must prepare." he declared to the more trained force - he had worked with some of these individuals in the past. "For the worst."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk lashed out with Matrapolix's sword, forcing another Hacker back. He slashed out again at another. "Commander Airu, sir. Ryjak's clearances have been revoked, and Athen has ensured that he be indicated an enemy on all Techna HUDs."IC: TainTain led Savina into the center of the loose ring of fighters. Once there, he began to check her over for any serious wounds. "Savina, stay closer to the group next time, okay?"IC: JikalIt didn't take long for Jikal to get to the late Levacius' home. A short distance from the crowd, he paused and summoned his Skull armor. After all, it wouldn't do Jikal any good to be seen in the company of criminals. He carefully pushed his way to the front of the crowd."I'm here."

IC: Savina - Information District -Savina meowed weakly in reply, she was rather exhausted. She had blood all over herself, though it impossible to tell whose blood it was, a safe bet was most of it wasn't hers though. Her biggest wound was the large gash on her belly, then she had multiple cuts all over, and a few burn marks her and there. Now that she was finally out of the fight, she looked like she was gonna pass out.

IC: TainTains sighed as he unwound a few bandages from his bag. Said bandages were carefully applied to Savina's stomach. "Don't you pass out now. Do that when we aren't in danger of dying." He smiled slightly at his horrible attempt at humor.

IC: Savina - Information District -Tain's horrible attempt at humor was about as good as Savina's understanding of humor. She licked Tain on the face in thanks for bandaging her. Then she did her best to stay alert, trying to avoid passing out.

IC: Golden Hammer Syndicate / Golden Hammer Base"Gentlemen," Kinksh said, seeming to ignore the presence of Skull - it made no sense to reveal the warrior as his lieutenant when Rinnder served as the face for that purpose. "We must begin planning for the next phase."Thuiop conjured up a stone table, and Kinksh directed the assembled group to gather around it. With a wave of his hand, parts of the surface superheated and melted in carvings that shaped into a map of Techna.OOC: Last chance for anyone to join. Maybe.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC - Dorcha - Western front:Dorcha frowned. His HUD showed the lone figure as a Technan, not an enemy. He turned. There was the sound of gunshots, an explosion, and screams. Silence.He felt out with sonar, and froze. The room, unknown to him, had several gun turrets, as well as a mine. Now it had eight corpses lying inside of it.

IC: Airu (Western Front, Hacker Siege)Airu looked at the HUD on his helmet. One person left in the building, unregistered as a Hacker."You can come out. I'm Commander Airu Sin'clair, Head of what's left of the Techna Guard."-Teezy

IC: Krayzikk"ALright, boys and girls, if you wanna survive we should fall back. Commander Airu has cleared and fortified a building, not far away." Krayzikk said as he forced another Hacker back.IC: TainTain nodded. "Come on, Savina."

IC: Savina - Following Tain -Savina followed Tain. She was going a bit slow though, she had her right paw raised from the ground, refusing to put weight on it, apparently she'd hurt it and had just realized.

IC: TainTain noticed. Unfortunately, there was little he could do. He shot a Hacker in the face as he followed Krayzikk.

IC: Savina - Information District - Following Tain - Savina continued to follow Tain, thankfully the attacking Hackers were too focused on fighting the Technas that were still in the fight to notice the cat-Hordika. She kept her eyes on Tain's feet, too worn out to look up.

IC: Honnak -fight-A Hacker directly infront of Savina suddenly fell with a sword in his chest. Honnak stepped away from the body, his suit was surprizingly free of blood. "Oh, hello again ma'am," He said to the Cat-Hordika.The Glatorian turned towards Krayzikk and asked, "We falling back, sir?"

IC: Krayzikk"Yes. Commander Airu has cleared and fortified the Plaza Nuva Hotel, we are falling back there." Krayzikk swung Matrapolix's sword, slashing a Hacker across the chest.IC: TainTain shot a Hacker. "In that case, we're aren't too far away."

IC: Airu (Western Front, Hacker Siege)Airu looked at the HUD on his helmet. One person left in the building, unregistered as a Hacker."You can come out. I'm Commander Airu Sin'clair, Head of what's left of the Techna Guard."-Teezy

IC: Savina - Information District - Heading toward Plaza Nuva Hotel -Savina nearly jumped at the sudden appearance of a body in her pathway. "Oh, hello again ma'am," A somewhat familar voice said, it was that one Glatorian that had been with Tain before. Savina greeted the Glatorian back with a weak meow. She walked over the dead Hacker and continued to follow the group toward the Plaza Nuva Hotel, she knew the first thing she'd want to do when they got there was find a couch and take a really long nap.

IC: Lekar (Warzone)"OK. I can see an open path, but that may not last long." Lekar said, blasting yet another Hacker away, into the piles. Zakaro

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk nodded. "Alright. People, only fight Hackers if they attack you. Make your way to the Hotel, I'll bring up the rear."IC: Tain"Alright. Come on Savina, just a little ways more. After that, you can rest." Karzit, I need to rest. It's been nearly non-stop battle, between yesterday and today.....

IC: Lekar (Warzone) "Got it. I'll get point." Lekar responeded, moving in front of the main group. Breaking out into a run, he said "Come on! We've got to move!" His blaster was primed and ready, and his shield was in front of his torso.Zakaro

IC: Savina - Information District - Heading toward Plaza Nuva Hotel -Savina picked up the pace a little, they were almost there. OOC: That felt like a filler post. XD

IC: Airu (Plaza Nuva Hotel, Hacker Siege)"Hackers jumped us while we were unprepared," Airu said, resetting trip mines. "Toa Matrapolix is KIA, Torch MIA, and Gust..."He pointed to the two titans of air and shadow, doing battle and lording over Techna. Hackers and Techna Guards alike stopped and stared in awe at the battle going on above them.-Teezy

IC: Lekar (Warzone)Lekar paused and looked for a second at the battle of the elemental titans, then shouted to the rest of the group " Let's move! We can get in the hotel while the Hackers are distracted by the battle!" Then he turn and began to run, taking a look over his shoulder in the meanwhile. Turning back to face the front, Lekar saw the hotel doors a few yards ahead. " Krayzikk, can you get the person in there to open the doors?"Zakaro

IC - Dorcha - Plaza Nuva Hotel, observing titan battle:Dorcha nodded, and stared. They were large, too large even for a mask of growth."He seems to be living up to his name," he said dryly, nodding at the titan, with air flowing around in gusts.

IC - Clash of the titansRyjak swung his fist, aiming to slam into Gust. The power behind the strike of pure shadow seemed too destructive to block without dissapating his aura of wind, but Ryjak knew Gust would find some way.That was why he created an enormous battle of hammer of his element, the hilt of which touched the ground and destroyed a building. Ryjak swung it, aiming for Gust's chest.

IC: Tain + KrayzikkTain and Savina reached the building, soon followed by Krayzikk. "Commander Airu!! This is Krayzikk, requesting permission to enter!! Namley, sir, can you unlock the flurging door!"

IC: Airu (Plaza Nuva Hotel, Hacker Siege)Airu idly moved a gust of wind with his hand, pushing the lock and allowing Krayzikk's team entry."Glad to see you still understand the finer points of respecting your superiors," he said, with the barest hint of a smirk. "It's good to see you, Krayzikk."-Teezy

IC: Krayzikk Krayzikk balanced Matrapolix's sword on his shoulders, holding onto the handle to ensure that it stayed. Tain quietly led Savina into the room, nodding at Airu. Krayzikk would have grinned if he could. "Good to see you too, Commander. What's the status? I saw the giant elemental titans. It seems to me that the Piraka and Techna Gust were feeling dramatic."

IC: Airu (Plaza Nuva Hotel, Hacker Siege)"Yes, well, that's Gust," said Airu with a shrug. "Ever the showman. I've got all floors fortified, and there are supplies in the hotel kitchens. We can hold out here for weeks if necessary. I'm in the process of setting up communications with Police HQ now. Maybe you and Athen could give me a hand with that...?"He turned to Tain."Do you have any sort of contact with CKC, Tain?" -Teezy

IC: TainTain shook his head. "None. From what I can tell, it has either been breached or soon will be. The CKC never was the best defended, and most surviving Guard forces are focusing on protecting Tech Tower or the S&D Library."Krayzikk looked as thoughtful as he could without real facial features. "We might be able to help with that. Ryjak had had all clearances revoked, by the way. And as an extra measure Athen made it so he reads as an enemy on all Techna HUDs."

IC: Emma - WarzoneKnowing Emma, resting was the last thing on her mind. Instead, she was more concerned with slashing through Hackers left and right. She slammed the heel of her palm into the nearest fighter, sending him sprawling away, before delivering the coup de grace kick to the diaphragm. Grinning with satisfaction, she turned to see Kairan and Blade fighting side by side, obliterating any soldiers around them.Some team, she thought with a hint of pride, suddenly, picking up speed, sprinting towards them, nearly slamming into Blade."Guys, c'mon, we're falling back to the hotel!" she shouted frantically.-Void

IC: Savina - Plaza Nuva Hotel -As the others were talking and discussing the situation, the first thing Savina did was eye the couch that was in the room, she quickly climbed on to it and laid down, she seemed instantly to be out like a light, but she kept her ears pointed to the conversation.

IC: Honnak -Hotel-He cut into the conversation for a second, "Sir, is there anyplace I could get a new weapon? A sword is good and all, but..."

IC: Lekar (Hotel)"I'll get the doors," Lekar said, closing the doors the group had come through. Zakaro

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk looked at Lekar. "Keep watch there. The others will be coming soon." He then returned his attention to Airu.IC: TainTain kept an eye on the conversation, as he sat down on the floor in front of Savina. He was tired.

IC: Lekar (Hotel)"Got it." Lekar responded. "Can't see anyone or thing moving outside right now though," he said, looking through a window. "Wait! There's... a Hacker moving. Nothing new." Lekar proceded to shoot his air blaster through the open window into the Hacker's head, knocking out the Hacker once more.Zakaro

IC: Savina - Plaza Nuva Hotel -Savina was purring softly, her tail swayed back and forth, right in front of Tain's face. She was happy that she and her friends were now safe in the building. Though even as she lay on the couch, her eyes closed, her ears remained perked up, as if on the alert, just in case more hackers decided to show up.

IC: Lekar (Hotel)Lekar sighed. "Nothing out there but piles of dead or knocked out Hackers. Anyone have some cards?"Zakaro

IC - Dorcha:"I hate to break this to you, but we're on the wrong side. About twenty hackers looped around the back. These defenses can hold out a matoran, but a toa of, say, iron, who knows that the defenses are there would take them out in a few seconds." Throughout the past few minutes, Dorcha had been silent, leaning against a wall with his eyes closed. Now he reached for his sword, and stretched.
