Techna

-==IC: Blade==-Blade raised an eyebrow, but nodded after a moment."Alright, let's regroup, then..."

IC: Emma - WarzoneEmma continued to propel herself forwards, until she was right next to Blade, slashing at Hackers, driving them back."Well, good to see you again Blade. Next time, let's meet under better conditions. By the way, have you seen Kairan and the others?"-Void

-==IC: Blade==-"Nope; haven't got a clue where that Replica is." Blade said, as he shrugged and looked around, trying to make sure that none of the hackers learned how to swim through the air and attempt to kill the group again.

IC: Lekar (Ship w/o gravity)Lekar sighed. " Of course Krayzikk and the others had to float out of view. Anybody know which way I came from? Because they're probably in that direction." Zakaro

GM IC:The initial shock of floating had shocked the majority of fighters. However, now that their floating was steadied, they began firing again. The air was filled with a thousand bullets and lasers; a clamor echoed off the metal ceiling and glass walls, ringing, deafening.Meanwhile, the gray planet outside the window was growing. And another force was beginning to act on the floating combatants, gripping them by the legs and, gently at first, tugging them to the back of the Techna Nui, toward the Science District.Again the firing began to falter. This time, however, it didn't stop.* * *IC (CPU Room, Technology Tower):Raknar had pulled himself back to the cold metal floor and was trying to hack back into the system when he began floating backwards.His first grasp flew short of the monitor, instead gripping the keyboard:> ohjbkn g,mn,jjbgvk nmb mibvkj bkluyvl,bhjnmb, jklnDirectory not valid. Please resubmit identification for security purposes.Cursing his luck, he lunged forward with his left hand and hooked his fingers around the corner of the table; pulling himself forward, he finally came within reach of the monitor, which he promptly gripped with his right hand."What now?" Evryx was floating near the ceiling, sliding gently along.Raknar quickly called up a compass interposed with a map of Techna. "We're being pulled to the west," he said. "The back. We're accelerating--"A curse. "We must be going down," said the Skakdi.Evryx was silent.With his left hand, Raknar reentered a cheat code for his ID, then accessed the pilot's controls. "Not if I can help it."

-==IC: Blade==-Blade frowned, as he looked around the surroundings. It was merely luck that there were no hackers nearby who were still able to fight, and since they were floating toward the back again, they had less chance of making it to their target. Plus, if any hackers managed to have even one good shot..."What do we do now?" Blade asked over the comm link, a slight growl to his tone.

IC: Krayzikk"Nothing changes." Krayzikk growled over the comm channel. "Stay in groups, and take as many of them out as possible." And say your prayers. We're all going to meet our makers soon.Don't be so depressing, Altair. By my calculations, if the ship touches down just right, we might live.

-==IC: Blade==-"Roger that..." Blade said, and sighed, as he looked around."Let's go. We have to meet up somewhere, preferably not right near the hackers." Blade explained, as he kept looking around to make sure that no-one tried to ambush the group.

IC: Savina - Floating -As they were all pulled toward the back toward the science district, it was becoming more and more apparent even to Savina's cat-like mind what was happening. Fear had temporarily made her act more like a normal Toa, the way she used to be. "I-I want it to stop....I don't like this at all..." She hated feeling helpless, unable to really move or do anything...it reminded her of...the lab..."We're crashing....aren't we?" She asked Tain.

IC: TainTain grit his teeth, and raised an eyebrow at Savina. "Yes. Yes, we are in the process of crashing." He relinquished his grip on the metal spire. "Come on. We aren't any safer here."

IC: Savina - Floating -Savina nodded, though she was still pretty much unable to move freely, her body was used to moving on all fours like a cat, and that didn't really help much when trying to 'swim' in the air.

IC: Lekar (light gravity toward west)Lekar paused as he felt gravity begin to return, pulling them all toward the science district. Frowning, he spoke into his com, "Krayzikk? Where should we meet up? Do you think we'd have a higher chance of survival if we moved toward the information district?Zakaro

IC: Emma Emma gripped her sword even tighter, slashing at Hackers almost obsessively. Activating her comm, she sent a mental signal to anyone in range, Technans and Hackers alike.Well, it looks like we're going down folks. Chances are, a lot of us aren't gonna make it out of this. So, I just wanted to send this message out there:We're all soldiers. We're all warriors. We're all survivors. If we manage to survive, we'll need people to help the others. The only way we can survive the coming trials is to put our differences behind us, and working together to build a new future.I know most will overlook this, but to those who are listening, heed these words: Unity, Duty, Destiny.P.S. Anyone seen Kairan, Hrunja, Krayzikk or the fish-guy?At that point, she let her sword fall to her side, watching the chaos pour over throughout the city.-Void

-==IC: Blade==-Blade frowned, but paused."... Can you build physical stuff with that power of yours?" Blade asked, a slight frown on his face, as he had a plan; but only wanted to resort to it if everyone else could assuredly be safe.

IC: Hrunja"DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR THE MIGHTY HRUNJA!"A building nearby exploded as Hrunja, having discarded his demeanour of a somewhat stable shop owner, reverted to his previous self. He slammed his sword into the earth, gripping onto it as he looked around at everyone.

-==IC: Blade==-"... Okay, yeah, that works too." Blade said with a nod."Hrunja, how does that mask of yours work?" Blade asked, as he wanted the answers to these questions before they slammed into the face of whatever they were likely going to hit.

IC: Hrunja"Opens up a pocket dimension."

-==IC: Blade==-"Well, what are the limits on that? Can people avoid harm if they're in that pocket dimension?" Blade asked, a slight frown on his face, as he contemplated different ideas.

IC: Hrunja"No idea. It's filled with my sword collection anyway."

-==IC: Blade==-"Is there any way for people not to get hurt if they enter that pocket dimension, filled with swords or not?" Blade asked, curious.

IC: Hrunja"Look at me. I'm a soldier, not a scientist."

-==IC: Blade==-"Point taken. My point is, though, that we need to find some way of keeping our group safe, as what I do might leave a mark, otherwise." Blade said, as he focused, and scanned the surroundings, trying to figure out what was the middle point of the ship.

IC: Hrunja"Well, anybody have Kahgarak spinners?"

-==IC: Blade==-"Well, I don't, but..." Blade said, and paused with a smile."Where'd Quada go again...?" Blade said, as a plan formed, of who to ask.

IC: Quada"Hi there!" said a voice behind Blade.

-==IC: Blade==-Blade spun around quickly, and relaxed when he noticed it was just Quada."Whew. Perfect timing. Summon bigger fish." Blade said with a knowing nod.OOC: =P

IC: Quada / Zaphos"OKAY! MASK ACTIVATE! SUMMON BIGGER FISH!""Why am I here again?" growled Zaphos as he got up.

OOC: Aren't we still floating? =P-==IC: Blade==-"I'm sorry, that was partially my fault." Blade admitted, as he moved around to look at Zaphos."You have Rhotuka spinners; correct? What kind of spinners do you have?" Blade asked, as he might be their answer for most of the group getting out of danger.

IC: Zaphos"Ice ones."

-==IC: Blade==-"So... No way of getting the others to safety, then?" Blade asked, slightly disappointed at that.Honestly, is there anyone who can save us, especially if I sacrifice myself to save a lot of the people here, but probably also destroying a lot of the ship in the process...? Blade thought, as he sighed.

IC: Hrunja"I suppose we can hang on and hope for the best then. But if we die, it's been nice knowing you."

-==IC: Blade==-"Yeah, same here." Blade said, and sighed for a moment."Never thought that this would be the way I died..." Blade said with a sad smile, as he began to brace himself for the seemingly inevitable impact, even as he looked around for any sort of way to get out of this mess, and any hackers who might try to take advantage of the situation.

IC: Hrunja"Then don't die," replied Hrunja as he slammed a blade into the earth and grabbed on. "Seems unlikely to live at this point, but hey, let's hope."

-==IC: Blade==-"Yeah..." Blade said with a nod, as he quickly teleported to the ground, and stabbed his sword into the ground as well. He still had a bad feeling about the situation, but... If the citizens of the old Matoran Universe could handle what had apparently been a crash to the ground of Spherus Magna, then they might just be able to survive this.OOC: Aka, when Makuta went bye-bye. =P

IC: Emma - WarzoneEmma followed suit, stabbing her sword into the ground as well. She watched her companions brace themselves for what seemed to be the inevitable conclusion to their fight. It seemed impossible to avoid this, without a change of destiny.Destiny. Of course."Well, if we're going to die, I'd prefer to die trying to do something rather than waiting for it," she said firmly, before activating her communication device, Kairan, get your armoured backside over here, ASAP! If you don't, I swear to Techna that I'll find you, and slice you into a million tiny pieces as my last act as a living being!-Void

-==IC: Kairan==-Kairan heard the comment, and chuckled slightly."Alright, I'll try and find a way to get back. This gravity might make things tough, though." Kairan said, as he looked around, and then noticed the small group near the ground, and kicked off from the wall toward them; hoping the momentum would be enough to get far enough down. With luck, it was, though he was still a ways away from the group. However, Kairan stabbed one of his dual swords into the ground to use as an anchor for a moment, and then grabbed his other dual sword, and stabbed it into the ground, a little ways away, and then attempted to use them to get closer to his allies and friends.

IC: Lekar (ship going down)Lekar sighed. " Krayzikk isn't answering. Now we can't do much but wait. Ya know, I never thought I'd die from the Techna Nui crashing. Maybe a Hacker attack, but no the ship crashing."Zakaro

IC: Krayzikk"I don't know what you guys are so glum about." Krayzikk said over the comm link, sounding as cheerful as a robot can sound. "I'm already dead. And if even one computer survives the crash, I'll be back."Tain was quiet a moment, as he continued to snipe Hackers. "Krayzikk, you aren't helping."

IC: Airu (Hacker Siege)"No," agreed the commander, firing off a short volley of fire at a Hacker and picking up a sniper rifle. "You're not."-Teezy

-==IC: Blade==-"I agree with those sentiments." Blade said with a chuckle over the comm link, as he tried to think of some crazy idea. And think of one he did."... How do you fly this thing...?"
