Techna

OOC: The only bad emotions you'll get from Sylux are a little anger and annoyance at the most. I'm not giving you any chances to check out my memory, not that you'll find much. By the way, why are you attacking Sylux...?IC: Sylux (Rooftop, Science District)Beginning to feel the assault on his mind and a being approaching him and firing his pistol at him, Sylux dodged with enhanced reflexes and teleported to another nearby building rooftop. He took aim and fired at Æon multiple times.

IC Public Library: Bio"I'm a law abiding citizen. I just have some friends in low places." Bio said, a smirk on his face. He had no idea that VX-56785-B models were illegal, but he did know that his supplier had one or two."So, I have a perfectly good way to get you that chip. Wanna hear it?"

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"Certainly, let's hear it."He agreed, waiting for the right moment to probably terrify the Matoran.

IC That one Library: Bio"Alright." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "My supplier uses... Unscrupulous methods to get his products. The authorities have been looking for him. I say, we order your VX-56785-B model, then wait for him to deliver it. Then, when he arrives, we capture him and turn him in to the authorities. You get your VX-56785-B, and I get to put him away in the slammer." He grinned at Kyrahk. "Sound good to you?"

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"Why not just turn him in right now?"He raised an eyeridge at the little Matoran."VX-56785-B's are known to blow up when heated to a certain point, and are terrible for use in weapons."

IC Public Library: Bio"I tried, but I need assistance." Bio admitted, face-palming himself at his mistake. "And if they blow up, why did you want one in the first place?"

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"I don't. But, I had expected you were a criminal, I knew it! You were so jumpy, then a weapon in the library, it all added up."He explained to the Matoran.

IC Public Library: Bio"Again, not a criminal." Bio said, rubbing his mask. "The weapon was an attempt to catch the deliver. I was jumpy because my supplier was sending people after me. You know, the people that ran past you when I flew up?"

IC: Ignotus (Public Library)Ignotus flew into the library. He doubted anyone else had done this, and considered himself proud to be the first to do it.OOC: I'm aware someone else did it first, FYI.

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"I see... interesting... Very interesting..."He scratched his lower jaw, as he lacked a chin."Why would his people be after you?"OOC: Why do I picture Bio somewhat like Berix? XD

OOC:Don't know. He is kinda like Berix come to think of it... IC Public Library: Bio(rix)"Because I might have... Collected some of his things when I was attempting to turn him in..." Bio said. "Just like I collected this staff here."

IC: Incommodo (Science District)Incommodo found himself lying on the ground, not entirely sure how he got there."Legs... I've still got legs! Good. Arms, hands. Fingers. Lots of fingers. Eyes: Two. Kanohi: Attached. I'm alive!"OOC: Incommodo open for interaction.

"Got it," he replies over the radio before tossing the plug back to Drone. Drone 2 sits back down on the bench and takes out his laptop; ready to delete, upload, or do anything else that was needed.-Mef Man

IC: Tain, Outside Housing DistrictTain sighed. "Looks like that is finally over. Shall we get moving?" Tain asked, gesturing toward the street.

"Yes, let's," she says to Tain before looking over to the others. "You two ready to go?" Ga'mal looks at her round friend and adds,"Or would you rather I meet you back here so we can go to CKC?"-Mef Man

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"So... a sticky-fingered citizen stealing from a smuggler, and still calling himself law abiding?"He realized something with a frown."That's my staff."

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District, Hacking VRF-3)Drone plugged in VRF-3 to Drone 2's PC with his one free hand while keeping the other one on its optic. Hopefully they'd be able to do all of this in time.Delete all the footage within an hour's time and sever the connection just for now. Once you're done, set up a bunch of extra anti-viruses, defenses, whatever you can think of. We'll figure out what to do with the footage thing when you're done.

IC Public Library: Bio"You mean you designed my staff?" Bio asked, having been talking about his own staff, the one with knifes on the end. "Cool."

"Wait," he starts over the private radio. "It's relaying footage of some other time. Looks like his POV when he was randomly spinning or something. This little Brakas is smart," adds Drone 2 before looking up to Drone. "But, I'll go ahead and sever the link from his camera to Techna. I'll start relaying footage of months ago and when-or if-they find out what's going on our little friend will be long gone." Drone 2 starts to hack back into the robot, searching his memory logs for his oldest footage. He begins to relay this over the feed that was already being shown before placing every possible anti-hacking device on it for other beings who may try to hack into him. "When we're not using him, we can simply show the video feed of what he's doing, so no one is suspicious," says the Matoran to Drone.-Mef Man

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District)"Good. I was worried for a moment that we might actually have to go rogue." said the Toa, letting go of VRF-3 as he began to relax."Could you try to set up a connection between his optic and your laptop? Whatever he'd see would also be transmitted to your laptop."

"Good call," he replies before searching through the bot's different functions. After a few seconds of searching, Drone 2 says,"Got it. Relaying video footage to my laptop as well as any and all audio."On his screen he could see the footage that was being uploaded to whoever was watching Vrf-3's footage and on the other he could see (and hear) what was going on at the very second. It was all pretty complex, and yet so simple when you had the hang of it.-Mef Man

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District)"Perfect, perfect, perfect." Drone was brushing his hands together as if he was looking at a delicious meal right in front of him. Now that all dangers were out of the way, they could get some work done."So you said you feel like a Vortixx stepped on your head. Anything else? Can you tell us your opinion on the Hackers and Techna?"

Drone 2 checks over his laptop to make sure that the robot would respond correctly to what they wanted; not his opinion.Good, he should respond agreeing to Hackers he thinks.-Mef Man

IC: Vrilni: Housing District: With Ga'mal, Tain, Bukaj, and Vrf-3: "Yes, I am ready. And for future reference, I am to be assumed ready until stated otherwise."

"Okay," she replies. "Let's go, then I'll head back to CKC with you, my round friend," Gamal adds, smiling toward the being before entrering the area.-Mef Man

IC: Incommodo (Science District)"Wait, toes!" Incommodo looked down. "I don't have any! I don't have toes! I DON'T HAVE - Wait, I didn't have toes in the first place. That's okay then."

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"I know... but don't get any ideas about stealing mine."He remarked, covering for the fact that he hadn't seen Bio's staff.IC (Outside of Housing District): Vrf-3The robot did the same as before, shutting down and coming back online after the hacking."Yeah, like someone poured hot coffee on my optic scanner core."He complained, before moving on to the next question."Well, I'm supposed to help protect the city... I think... I don't.... I can't remember. Wait... there are hackers in this city?"Obviously, the robot was a little outdated and under-informed.

IC Public Library: Bio"So... Where do you want to eat?" Bio asked, wondering how on earth the Rahkshi had missed his staff.

OOC: Sorry 'bout being gone for a night. Sleep was needed.IC: (Glitch Paradox)Scorpio nodded. "I didn't mean you should have paid them. I very much hold the same opinion as you."IC: (Public Library)Nathius shyly nodded. "I'm a page." He murmured. Nathius decided that the newcomer wasn't dangerous, and spoke up, however so softly. "Do you need help with anything?"IC: (Science District)Shade ran onto the roof, right hand gripping the butt of his Morning Star, which was strapped butt-up on his back. To find no one there. Pausing to turn around, He spyed Aeon. "Whats going on?!?!?" The zyglak shouted to her.

IC: Drone (Talking to VRF-3, Outside of Housing District)"Of course there are..." replied the Toa in somewhat disbelief. How could a robot working for Techna not know about the Hackers? It didn't matter, this just gave Drone an advantage."Well listen. The city's tricked you into thinking that they're the good guys but that's not true. You've been working for them and I'm assuming, earned their trust so people like me and my partner here could use the help of someone like you."Now Drone was about to make some story up for the robot to take a better liking to the two. Not that it had much choice with the virus present but it would make cooperation with VRF-3 a lot easier."See, Techna's just a big sham. They all plan to assimilate us and mind-control us at some point with their implants and use us as an army to conquer and enslave other worlds."Take the bait...

IC (Information District): Kyrahk"Doesn't matter."Kyrahk replied. He didn't care where they went to eat,as long as he got food.IC (Outside of Housing District): Vrf-3"You know... that makes sense... I was designed based on a Matoran brain... they did tests on me before failing my design... Maybe I was a prototype mind control device...."The robot was both fooled, and Virused. His mind was connecting pieces that didn't fit into the story of Techna."That's why they created this city.... because the big robot they wanted to use was destroyed. And why else would everyone on this city have access to weapons if it was for a peaceful reason..."

IC: Drone (Talking to VRF-3, Outside of Housing District)"Bingo. If you ask me, implants, weapons, technology, information, everything. It's all too common and open for the general public; anyone could be a trained killer by now, turning them into a more effective soldier when the brainwashing commences."Good, the eyebot had taken the bait and provided Drone with some information regarding its creation. He found it quite interesting how VRF-3 was based off a Matoran's brain, being a prototype but turning out as a failure. It explained his personality but why would such a genius invention be branded as a failure? The question puzzled the Toa of Robotics."Now this is where you come in. They still think you're on their side, making it easy to trick them. Pretend you still work for them but do not mention anything about us or business with the Hackers. We've already set you up with a bunch of security measures so they can't probe you and when you talk to us, we've installed you with a program which allows you to send them recordings from months ago so make sure to activate that when you talk to us."Drone went into detail about how VRF-3 had to be really careful as to not reveal any information, how he would be sending video and audio footage to Drone and Drone 2 now but still would be recording for Techna and all the not very important details. Complex stuff and hopefully, VRF-3 would just remember what he really needed to.

IC: (Science District)Critek had been told that the transfer process was completely painless, that he would fall asleep on Spherus Magna and wake up on the Techna Nui. They had been lying. Critek's eye shot open as he screamed in pain and held his head in his hands. It was as if red hot needles were being hammered into his forehead. After what felt like hours, the pain finally subsided and Critek was able to comprehend his surroundings.The first thing that struck him was how dark and dusty everything was. He was supposed to have awakened in a nice little room in the housing district, but this looked like some sort of abandoned building. The next things he noticed were his limbs; his arms and legs were obviously made of metal and very bulky. He had not ordered these implants back on Spherus Magna. After a few attempts, he was finally able to haul himself to his feet and stomp toward a mirror.He almost screamed again when he saw his reflection. His mask was a Melmora, a mask normally reserved detectives and other members of law enforcement and again something that he had not ordered. What really confused him were his eyes. His left eye was green while his right eye appeared to be dead, however his vision didn't appear to be affected. Suddenly rage started to build inside him and his right eye turned gold while his green eye disappeared."NO!" Critek screamed as he smashed a fist into the mirror. As shards of glass fell to the floor, Critek felt his anger subside and his green eye appear again. He starred at his hands as his mind tried to think; he had never felt anger like that before, as his time forging masks had taught him the value of patience. His head suddenly flared with pain again, but not as severally as before. It almost felt as if his brain was being pushed against the inside of his skull. The pain eventually faded, but he could have sworn that he heard an angry female voice whisper, "Your fault."At that point Critek started to panic. He ran toward the door with his shoulders hunched and plowed through it as if it was made of paper. He was quickly dazzled by the light and he tried to calm himself to see where he was. He couldn't see any other Toa, Matoran, or other species around, but off in the distance stood a very large tower. Critek recognized it as Technology Tower from the briefing he had received before the transfer. So he was Science District, but why?As he stood there gazing at the skyline a hovering robot the size of a Matoran flew up to him."Identification please," The robot said. As Critek tried to think of a response, his eyes shifted again and his right hand disappeared into his arm and was replaced a very large blade."Identify this!" he screamed as he thrust the blade into the ADR. The blade cut through the robot's armor and hit something vital as he collapsed to the ground. As Critek regained control he starred down in horror at the robot at his feet. Before he could do anything else, five more ADRs appeared from behind various buildings and began to hover toward him."Oh Karz," Critek muttered as he took off in a sprint.

"Come on, we should get going before any more guards show up," he says over the private radio to Drone. "We can send the bot to some target then we should do the same thing."Drone 2 was getting impatient and a bit nervous. They had been here too long and they were starting to look suspicious. They needed to get out of here and find somewhere safer.-Mef Man

IC: Incommodo"So... where's Ignotus?"> Find Ignotus> Public Library"That was quick. So where's the library?"> Find Library> Error: 404"Well, that's very helpful."OOC: Incommodo's still open for interaction, FYI.

IC Public Library: Bio"Okay. We have a while to wait before a Taxi comes though..." Bio said, having activated his goggles again.

IC (Outside of Housing District): Vrf-3"Understood, I'm going to be a spy, undercover in a city of corruption... awesome!"He knew what he needed to do, and was saving it all to memory. He was going to be undercover for the resistance now, or so he saw it. A group of beings trying to stop an evil empire from taking over worlds. He had been freed from whatever hold they had on him, he could do good now, and help save the citizens from danger. He would say nothing about the robo-Toa, and the large metal brute. And masking his footage wouldn't be a problem at all, he had done it before with no problems. Like when he covered for himself when he accidentally crashed through a window once. He turned toward Drone 2, slightly confused."Why do you plan on hurry away so quickly? No one seems to realize what side you are on. It isn't like robots aren't common here."IC (Information District): Kyrahk"Well that's good, It gives me time to speak to Zaphos."He commented to the Matoran of air.

"Keep your voice down," whispers the being before standing up and walking to the robot. "It's just that I don't like being out in the open like this. We should probably get doing so you can start your good deeds."-Mef Man

IC Public Library: Bio"I'll be over there if you need me." Bio said, walking away from the group.

IC: Drone (Outside of Housing District)"Yeah let's go somewhere with less people." said Drone beginning to walk. They wouldn't want any eavesdroppers to listen in on their conversation and plans to hack Techna and cause a little mayhem."Where to?"
