Techna

IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk was still firing at the floating Hackers. "Hey, I have to find a way to keep up my own morale, don't I?" He paused as a Hacker shot back. "Besides, Athen ran the calculations based on known data, and she says if we hit the planet just right then we could survive."

IC: Airu (Hacker Siege)Airu spun, pulling off a textbook no-scope headshot."Gust is in charge," he reminded Krayzikk. "Nothing is going to go just right."-Teezy

-==IC: Blade==-"True enough..." Blade responded to both comments, and sighed."Now does anyone have any clue on where the controls for this ship is? If someone can direct me on how to control it, I can try, given that I'm probably the only one here with a Kualsi, and therefore able to reach the controls without getting shot." Blade pointed out.

IC: Krayzikk"Valid point, Commander." Krayzikk replied, shooting a Hacker that got too close in the face. "But hey, we can hope. After all, Gust doesn't always mess everything up."He heard Blade's comment. "I'm not sure. I don't think many people know where it is."

OOC: Who else watched Punk'd this week? Watching it now, and my respect for Justin Bieber is increasing by the second. Dude's hilarious.IC: Airu (Hacker Siege)Airu tried to radio the control room, but no answer."All the guards must be dead," he said. "Complete radio silence. If you wanna go, you'll probably have to fight your way in."-Teezy

-==IC: Blade//Siege==-"I'm fine with that. Can you direct me to where the control room is? I'll work on getting in there, and then fix things if I can. Worst thing that happens is we all die." Blade said, a hint of a smile on that last comment.

IC: Lekar (ship)"And the best at this moment is we get the ship to not crash and be in a solid orbit, and spend 3-4 months rebuilding every thing that's been damaged. Airu, are there any back-up controls?" Lekar asked through his com.Zakaro

IC: Emma - WarzoneEmma activated her com, "Kairan, still got your Calix with you?"-Void

-==IC: Kairan==-"Yeah, of course." Kairan confirmed, as he approached the group once more.

IC: Hrunja"What do you think will happen if we survive the crash?"

-==IC: Blade==-"We get to go on living as long as we can." Blade said with a shrug.

IC: Hrunja"I wonder if I can make my own nation then."

-==IC: Blade==-"Depends on what's out there." Blade said with a shrug."Though, I bet if you base it around games, they wouldn't complain at all."

IC: Lekar (ship)Lekar blinked. "And I thought that Zaphos would have said that. Oh well. Let's get moving to where ever we're trying to go."Zakaro

IC: Hrunja"Exactly. We'd have CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES."

IC: Lekar (ship)Lekar sighed. "And let me guess- chess in race cars?"Zakaro

-==IC: Blade==-Blade smirked mischievously, and said his reply over the comm link."Well, we have the motorcycle for that plan."OOC: =P

IC: Hrunja"Obviously I shall become the Honorary Chairman of the Technan Federation of Bridge Players."

-==IC: Blade==-"Alright then. Meanwhile, I'll try to get an idea of how to stop this thing before it crashes. Any objections? No? Okay." Blade said, as he scanned the surroundings, looking for the place that might be the control room.

IC: Lekar (ship)Lekar facepalmed. "If we live through this, I'll join that. Because I really don't think we're gonna live. Also, I think we should go to the info district. There' gotta be something there that shows where the control room is."OOC: Ninja'd.Zakaro

IC: Krayzikk"Wait a minute, if there are gonna be card games on motorcycles, does that mean I get to play card games on myself?"

-==IC: Blade==-"You were going to be involved one way or the other, yes." Blade nodded with a chuckle.

IC: Lekar (ship)"And people wonder why nobody gets any work done these days." Lekar muttered.Zakaro

GM: Gust (Clash of the Titans, Hacker Siege)"Enough is enough," hissed the Equinox-fueled Toa Techna of Air for the whole ship to hear. "You're stalling destiny, shadow-walker."He moved forward, tackling Ryjak's Titan form and sending both slamming against the side of the ship. A tremor the size of a moderately powered earthquake shook the ship as the Titans smashed each other across the city. Gust's Titan spun a vicious cyclone around his hand and hurled it at the Toa of Shadow, which he dodged effortlessly. At last, the ship could take no more damage: the cyclone rammed hard against the nose of the ship, sending it down into a vicious uncontrolled spiral towards the planet sized object.Airu felt the tremor and activated his Kadin, hovering in the air so as to avoid any further elemental attacks. In his minds eye, he could see the planet growing closer and closer. Too close.This is it, old chap..."It's been an honor serving with all of you today," he said, right before the ship slammed into the cold, hard ground of the planet below.Two hours later...A lone Toa of Air stood in a monstrous crater. He looked to the east and saw the smoldering wreckage of the Techna Nui. Oh, no...He looked around for survivors, scanning the horizon fruitlessly for about five minutes. Finally, a groan of pain. He made his way towards the sound: the commander of the Techna Guard was lying in a small pile of wreckage."Ryjak..." he muttered. The Toa shook his head."Gone," he said. Airu coughed up a small amount of blood and stood weakly."Torch?"Another headshake. Another crack split its way across Gust's heart."Gone," he repeated. The Toa Techna of Air looked around at the crater."Now what?"-Teezy

OOC: Please, no one post here. Tyler will open the new topic soon.IC - Ryjak - Karzahni MagnaRyjak's back was nearly broken as he hit the ground, his Titan form leaving him. He looked around him. In a crater the size of the Science District. He could hardly conjure up a shadow, as all his power was gone. He had used all of it. Every last bit. It would take months to get it all back, but he could fuel it easier than other elements.His eyes settled on a blue figure. He waited for his helmet to clear his vision before realizing who it was."Get the communicators ready. The Hackers are coming home."

OOC: Except for me, KNI. I'd like to close my own RPG, thank you. :PAnd so we come to the end of my first-ever RPG. I hope you all had fun; I know I did. If you have any suggestions and / or critiques, do post them in Breakdown's discussion topic when it's posted. As for your plans to survive, you can include them in your profiles when you post them.Thanks to everyone for making this a great game, especially Dovydas, Tyler Durden, KNI, Shyyrn, and Skarloth for co-GMing, even if in the latter two's cases such assistance was only temporary.* * * * *IC (cockpit of Techna Nui):They were going to make it.Torch began easing the Techna Nui upward, away from the planet below, as text scrolled across his HUD and a computerized voice read the orders to him. Lights flashed in his peripheral vision: various components of the starship failing or already failed. A massive repair mission would have to be launched once the chaos was over--A shudder. It shook the entire cockpit, nearly tearing free the seatbelts that held Torch to his seat.Two garish red lights shone on the control board before the Toa of Plasma. He glanced to the text below them...The lifeline of hope snapped. Torch's heart, still holding onto that hope, fell fast and fell hard into his stomach.The backup engines' connections had been struck, and the starship itself had been pushed by the impact far below the necessary trajectory to at least reach a stable orbit: injury atop injury. Torch was just waiting for the insult to strike.The dying engines' sputtering shook the entire starship. Torch gritted his teeth in an effort to refrain from cursing and yanked hard on the controls. No response.There was nothing left to do except for one thing.> Open universal communications.Establishing.Establishing..Establishing...Interference levels are high. Communications may be interrupted. Continue? y / n> yCommunications established. You may begin talking.Torch took a deep breath."I am Toa Techna Torch. Needless to say, we're going down."The cockpit's window was now tinged with reddish-orange as the Techna Nui plummeted into the below planet's atmosphere."Radiation interference is startingly high. I can barely keep this channel open--"Communications lost. Reestablishing..."I can barely keep this channel open to tell you that we--"Communications lost. Reestablish? y / n> yRestablishing..."To tell you that we're crash-landing on an unknown world. We don't know who lives here. We don't know if we can even survive. We may be stuck there for eternities on end. But together--"Communications lost.Torch swore aloud. Why couldn't he be allowed to give any final words? Did he not deserve them?Reestablish? y / n> yRestablishing..."But together," he continued, speaking faster now, "we can overcome any obstacle. Please, please, please--"Communications lost. Reestablishing..."Put aside your differences--"Communications lost. Reestablishing..."--work together--"Communications lost. Reestablishing..."We can do this--!"Communications lost. Reestablishing..."This is Toa Techna Torch, signing--"Impact.Communications lost. Reestablishing...Communications cannot be reestablished. This may be due to faulty connections and / or high radiation interference. Restablish? y / n> _* * * * *OOC: Again, a heartfelt thanks to all who have helped Techna on its journey. Here's hoping the sequel will be even better.No one else post here, please. I will be reporting this topic to Black Six to have it closed.
