Techna

-==IC: Blade==-"Right." Blade said with a nod, as the two Lightning Toa ran toward the hotel with Emma."I'll try and make sure that the Hackers don't attempt to kill us, or otherwise swarm us, when we get there..." Blade said, as the three neared the hotel, Zero already near the building.

IC: Lekar (Hotel)"Just great. More Hackers." he sighed, looking out the window. "Hey! I see some people out there!" Lekar said to the group inside the hotel. Leaning out the window, he shouted: "Hey! Techna or Hacker!"Zakaro

IC: Arkrak"Tell me Incommodo, what exactly are we doing now? Because we have been standing in the same position for at least ten minutes."

-==IC: Blade==-Kairan began to say something, but Blade sighed in slight annoyance."Given that we've been fighting alongside you for the past half hour or so, I'd say Techna. Now let us in." Blade said, as he sent a bolt of lightning at a hacker which was approaching Kairan from behind.

IC: Hrunja"Hello, I'm back," said Hrunja cheerfully as he appeared behind Kairan and Blade. "How goes your attempts at saving the ship?"

-==IC: Blade==-"Interesting. Right now I'm trying to help these two get a break; and even though we've been fighting together for the last, maybe, half hour... They haven't opened the door to the hotel." Blade said, with a slight shrug."Though; I guess it makes sense. But my mask's a Kualsi, and none of our elements are Psionics, so..."

IC: Hrunja"That's why we'll go with the alternate method," said Hrunja as a blast of plasma spurted out of his hands, vaporising the door. "Let's just make sure we aren't shot at."

IC: Krayzikk, Lobby, Plaza Nuva HotelKrayzikk sighed as Hrunja destroyed the door. "If you'd given it half a second, Hrunja, that door probably would've opened. Now it's harder to defend."

IC: Hrunja"That's exactly the point. It also means that despite the fact that the Hackers can see in, we can see out as well."

IC: Krayzikk, Lobby, Hotel"No, really?" Krayzikk asked, with more than a hint of sarcasm. "You know what else? We're easier to shoot now!"

IC: Lekar (Hotel)Lekar stood agape at the now melted door. "Alright. Now who wants to find things to barricade this door? Because it's not my fault you guys got impatient while I was unlocking the locks we had on the door." He looked at the new arrivals, waiting for a response.Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-"Yeah, yeah, let's just get to this." Blade said, as Kairan walked inside, Zero staying outside as well, as Blade looked over the group that seemed to still be approaching."... You don't think you'll have chances to survive this, do you?" Zero asked, and Blade stayed silent for a few moments."I'm almost certain that one way or the other, I will die by the time this war ends." Blade said quietly, but then smiled."But; I might as well try to stop this fight."

IC: Lekar (Hotel)Lekar sighed. "Fine. I'll go do it myself. Some else watch the door- or at this point, the giant hole in the wall." He went up the stairs to find some discarded tables and other heavy objects.Zakaro

IC: Emma - HotelEmma raised her hand, trying to gain some attention, "Right, let's get all of the gunners up front! Point-blank fighters, stay in the back as a final resort!"-Void

IC - Dorcha:Dorcha sighed."I'll get some new doors, if someone can put them on for me," Dorcha said quietly, and zipped out. not a bullet flew at him, for he moved too fast for the hackers to even aim at him. This time however, he did not waste time fighting. He simply headed to a nearby building, smashed the hinges off the doors with two sonic bolds, and grabbed them, running right back. It took about five seconds."Anyone want to put these things on or something?" he asked, matter of factly.

IC-Kal:Kal sat on the ground, his legs crossed. The Hackers had taken his weapons, and stuck him in a cell he had recently freed somebody from. He looked around-only a few prisoners had been re-captured. They looked at him hatefully. He just shrugged-maybe the ones who had escaped would be able to join in the fighting and free them.There had been guards posted in this room at all times, periodically switching out their teams. He had taken to using his mask of time-perception to try to amuse himself, and give him more time to think. He'd gone from only using it once in a while to keeping the mask on at all times. He certainly was able to think of his replies to any questions better now.He watched the guards switch out again-there was always just one small fraction of a second where nobody was in the room, in the process of transitioning. There was probably a way he could use that small time slot to escape-if he had anybody else to help him. The captured civilian's wouldn't, that's certain. And he had no others to come and help him.He tried accessing his brain implant, to use radio frequencies to contact some friendly forces. Again, no use. The hackers had set up a small jamming frequency, preventing him from contacting anybody outside of a small 20-foot radius without some sort of password. And friendly fighters couldn't contact him either.He looked up uninterested as a guard came in with a small platter. "Here's your breakfast," the person said, sounding long and drawn out due to the effects of Kal's mask. Kal shrugged, grabbing the food as the guard slipped it in. The other four were watching carefully, making sure he didn't try to take the knife and attack.Kal began to eat-the bland, tasteless food doing nothing but staving off hunger. He ate slowly, still watching and waiting. He looked across the room-in another small cell a tinkerer kept messing with a small computer pad that had been brought in. He watched as the matoran exclaimed in happiness-he'd probably won a game, or something like that. They'd all found ways to keep themselves occupied.What happened next surprised him, however. The Matoran's door slid open with a hiss, and the tinkerer stepped out, his dinner knife held in hand. He stabbed the surprised guard at his door in the gut with the knife-Baka, Kal thought, You could have just killed him.-And turned. A guard had been standing behind him-the guard, a tall, red-skinned Glatorian with a battle rifle and a wickedly curved knife at his waist, smacked the Matoran. Hard.The tinkerer fell to the ground, and began tried to stand. Its mask had broken, falling off his face, and he couldn't summon the energy immediately to spring back up. The guard behind him pulled out a pistol, holding it to the back of the Matoran's head. He pulled the trigger, the suppressed shot blowing clean through the Matoran's skull. The body slumped to the side, resting on the wall. It almost looked asleep.The Guard growled something to the Glatorian, pulling the knife out of his body and tossing it to the side. He used his elemental power over fire to weld the wound shut. Simple, but effective. They then carried out the Matoran's body, swiping the bits of the mask off to a small waste-chute. Kal watched the whole time, no expression on his face. However, that dead Matoran had given him an idea.

IC: Savina - Hotel Savina had looked up to see what the commotion was about, though she never moved from her spot on the couch. She saw that Blade and some others she somewhat recognized were now here. She meowed at them, as sort of a greeting.

IC: Lekar (Hotel)Hearing the noise, Lekar came back down the stairs. " What the.. Never mind. Let's get those doors on. Are there any Fire users here?" Zakaro

IC: Hrunja"Doors? So who here can create solid objects?"

IC: TainTain looked at Hrunja askance. Then he pointed to Dorcha. "He just brought some." He looked at Dorcha. "Hey, dude. If you'll put them into place, I can secure them with iron hinges."

IC (CPU Room, Technology Tower):You cannot kill my people....What!?They are not to be killed. Do you understand?But I never meant to--If they die, you shall as well. You have been warned.Who are you?I am the one who has waited for far too long to make things right.I meant--But the shocks, the convulsions, were already gone -- and with them went the mysterious presence. Racker stood, rubbing his forehead in irritation, then returned to the monitor. The screen had again gone blank."Get up, Rak," Evryx snapped. "We've got work to do, and you're sitting on the job. Fantastic leadership."Raknar stood up as nonchalant as if he had only stumbled. "Yep," he said; "I got us into this building without casualties, I hacked into the computer, and then I'm struck by a logic bomb -- I'm so ashamed of myself." He growled, tearing his focus from the monitor to the floor. He was thinking, and thinking hard.Then he accessed the computer again and began hacking into the mainframe.

IC: Gust (Clash of the Titans, Hacker Siege)Gust calmly jumped back, his giant titan of air mimicking each and every one of his movements. He launched a typhoon from one hand and ducked under Ryjak's next swing."Listen to me!" he roared, his voice full of static enhanced over all of Techna by the power of Equinox. "We have to steer this ship away now!"-Teezy

OOC: If you crash it into the Great Beings planet, you get a cookie. Just saying. :PWe can make our own fire and blood for Dovy once we get there.IC: Kinksh / Golden Hammer BaseKinksh looked around as the sound reverberated across the city. "So, what does this all mean?"The others look dumbfounded. Kinksh continued, "So many events, happening so fast. Why do you think that is?"He grinned, sparking discussion amongst his underlings. How had it not been clear before...?-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Krayzikk and TainWithin minutes, the doors were set up and attached to the wall courtesy of Tain. Said being had taken up a position near a window, picking off any Hacker that came too close. He didn't respond to Gust's announcement other than to pause, and raise an eyebrow.Krayzikk, on the other hand, turned to Airu. "Sir, what should we do? In light of Gust's statement, it would seem that the priority has shifted to altering the ship's course."IC: SkullIn the crowd before Kinksh, Skull looked at Kinksh. He quickly activated his implant.So, what does this mean for us? After all, this sounds like it changes things.

IC: Savina - Hotel -Savina head suddenly looked up, surprised at Gust's announcement. She wondered what was so important about turning the ship...were they gonna crash?

IC-Lekar (Warzone)"Alright. We know the ships gonna crash if no one stops it. So we basically need 3 things. We need someone who knows where to go to steer the ship, someone who can steer the ship, and a team to defend them as they get to the control room." Lekar looked around, waiting for a answer.Zakaro

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk looked at Lekar. "Pretty much. And unless I'm mistaken, we have all three." He looked at Airu. "Am I wrong, sir?"

IC - FightShadow engulfed the typhoon, corrupting it. It writhed like a snake before slamming into the Tech Tower, shredding through the windows and throwing people out."We must rebuild, Gust. We must repopulate a planet. We can survive!"His avatar ripped a tower out of the ground, swinging it like a baseball bat at Gust's titan.

IC: Gust (Clash of the Titans, Hacker Siege)Gust's response was to rip an abandoned building of his own out of the ground and swing it, deflecting the Shadow Toa's strike."Not if we crash headfirst into the carking planet!" he yelled back. "How many will we save, Ryjak? A thousand? Two thousand? How long do you think that civilization can last?"-Teezy

IC: Hrunja"Impossible task? Sounds fun."

IC (CPU Room, Technology Tower):"Ready?" said Raknar.Evryx and the third Hacker nodded. Evryx was by a power cutoff switch in case anything threatened Raknar. The other Hacker stood by the doorway, rifle in hand, looking out for intruders.Holding in his breath, Raknar hit a button."Citizens of Techna," he said. Right now, his voice was booming across the city, in every building's speakers in every district. He could even hear his voice echoing through the TT. "For too long you've been wandering aimlessly. Helplessly. This time is over. You're going back home." He paused for a split-second. "No thanks to Ryjak," he added quickly.He cut off the connection to the speakers, making sure to delete his IP from the command logs in case anyone tried to figure out from where he had hacked. Then, gently, ever so gently, he began steering the Techna Nui toward a certain rip in space-time that was located on the other side of the moon before them.Steering an entire starship with a keyboard was an exhilirating feeling.

IC: Lekar (Hotel)Lekar blinked as a voice thundered throught the Techna Nui. After listening to it, he said "Well. Forget that. Now we know a Hacker force as got the ship under their control. So, we still need someone who can find the control room, someone who can drive the ship, and a huge group to take out the Hackers in the control room and protect the people that know how to get there and drive. I think it's best if we all move out, but it's your choice."Zakaro

IC: Savina - Hotel Room -Savina sat up on the couch on all fours. She yawned and stretched, and then meowed at Zakaro, as if to volunteer to help take out the hackers in the control room.

IC: TainTain fired one more shot, and then hopped down off his perch on the window ledge. "I'm coming. I can handle any software issues we might encounter." He started checking his equipment, both combat and computer. "And I'm one heck of a shot."Krayzikk looked at the group. "I'm coming too. You'll need some heavy firepower, and if things get rough, I can do that." He would have frowned if he could. "The big problem is that we don't know where these Hackers are. Normally, we could make an accurate guess. But in this case, they might have hacked into the controls. In which case, they could be anywhere."

IC: Gust (Clash of the Titans, Hacker Siege)Gust blinked, and the air titan seemed to stop momentarily. The entire ship under Hacker control for another hundred thousand years?He couldn't allow it. So, even at the cost of his own life, he made a choice right then and there."Sorry, Ryjak," he said, his voice echoing throughout the ship. "But I can't let you do this. I'd rather destroy this ship than put it in your hands."He fired off several cyclones, but not at the Toa of Shadow: he fired them in different directions, aiming to knock the ship out of its trajectory.-Teezy

-==IC: BladeKairanZero//Hotel==-"We're in." Blade said from the doorway, as Zero nodded, and Blade gripped his sword, and sent a lightning attack toward the hackers approaching once more."We should also probably move out sooner, rather than later... I don't know much about computers and navigational systems, but I have this sneaking suspicion that if they get enough time to lock the ship into motion toward one point, somehow, then we're not gonna accomplish much, short of stopping it, somehow." Blade said, and sighed, as he hoped his suspicion was not correct.

IC: Hrunja/Quada/Zaphos"So am I," said Hrunja dryly. "Got nothing else to do. Quada will be as well I suppose.""Sounds fun," Zaphos said from above them. "I'mma joining in. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!"

IC: TainTain looked up at Zaphos. "Would you keep it down a little? Unless you have something useful to say."

IC: Zaphos"BLOOD IS ALWAYS USEFUL. SKULLS ARE TOO. YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST MY RELIGION!"

IC: Tain"And you, are insane." Tain responded "Im not discriminating against your religion. I'M DISCRIMINATING AGAINST UNNEEDED NOISE!"
