Techna

OOC: Self defense my foot! He just happened to jumble into your vehicle and you attacked him when he didn't IC: Sylux (Approaching a group outside of Housing District)Sylux kept walking towards the group, an eerie silence creeping over the scene. His gaze was kept on them the entire time and he did not relent in his walk. The beings each pulled out weapons, probably for him but what they didn't know was that he didn't mean them any harm. He just wanted to scare the little Matoran for foolishly attempting to stab him.He stopped a few feet away from the trio and looked at them in silence. He lifted his hand and shook a nagging finger at them, an indication to lower their weapons or that if they attacked him, they would come to regret it. But then, one of them asked him if he came in peace.Smart.The armored Toa nodded in approval.

OOC: This reminds me of the episode of 'War'. That didn't end well. :PIC (CKC):The bullets struck her in the arms and legs, blood leaking out. "Guess I have to check out early," Æon sneered as she zoomed away, shooting some more bullets as she left.

OOC: Dude... They rained a whole lot of bullets up at her. I think she'd get hit by more than one, and in the arm.IC - ckcMatrapolix ordered them to stop firing. Picking up a trashcan, he threw it up into the air at Æon. Hackers were not welcome on the Techna Nui.He then turned to the guards."At ease, gentlemen." Now, to the Library. OOC: Soldier of a Toa open for interaction.

IC (Science District): KyrahkHe flexed his spiked back as he exited his lab, smoke escaping when he left. But, not much smoke, the explosion had been smaller this time, and he wouldn't have to get shrapnel pulled from his leg, that meant he had had better luck than usual. His feet started carrying him along at a steady pace. There was nothing like a walk to help clear one's head. And he needed some time to think, figure out where he had gone wrong. In the back of his mind, he remembered something he had seen long long ago, a forest. Trees as far as the eye could see. it took a few moment to dig up the memory, but he could picture it. Moving through the trees after nightfall, how he had loved that. But, there wasn't a forest here, atleast none that he knew of.But, this was his dream. He wanted to be here, on this city in stars. The world below was not good enough for him, he had to go beyond it. He know wondered if that had been the best choice. here, he was just another designer of weapons, and a hated one at that. His friends though, he had left them behind long ago, on the world of land, not of space. That was the only place he had truly felt at home... but, he had made his choices, he had wanted this, and now he got it.He noticed something out of the corner of his eye, a couple of Matoran whispering to each other and looking his direction. he could barely make out what they were saying."Hey, isn't that one of those evil Rahkshi creatures that book talked about? The ones that killed Matoran?""Yeah, I think so. The uncivilized monsters. But I wouldn't expect anything more from something like a Rahkshi."His path turned toward the two of them, who stiffed up standing strait as he got closer. "Excuse me, but do the two of you know that it is uncivilized to talk about a person in whispers? But, I wouldn't expect anything more from something like a Matoran." Then, he turned back to his original path, a small smirk on his face.OOC: Kyrahk open for interaction.

IC (En route to the library):"Quite the battle, Matrapolix. Did she escape?"Matrapolix turned at the familiar voice, and saw a familiar figure: a green-and-black Toa, wearing a distinctive trench coat and a Great Mask of Logic. His build was lithe, suggesting regular exercise, but there was nothing extraordinary about his physique."Forcyte!" said Matra, with a mild tone of surprise. "How did you know-?""You'd been in a fight? The signs are obvious: Light scorch marks around your pistol's nozzle suggesting recent firing.Scuff marks around your foot implants suggesting recent fast movement. The extra blood in your chest is circulating faster than usual, suggesting a surge of adrenaline, which for a veteran soldier like you is only brought on by danger.And perhaps most tellingly, you don't give off your usual air of boredom.That's how I know. Now tell me, did she escape?"OOC: My character is somewhat based off of Sherlock Holmes. Is it noticeable? -Shyyrn

OOC: Gah, curses! Too many RPGs! I didn't think lightstones would be that lethal, but I will comply, GM.IC (Science District):Æon quickly fled to a planned escape route: an old shop nearby. She limped in there, taking sometime to nurse her wounds.

IC: Solaris (Housing District)There was a nearby purr. Solaris turned slowly to see the little cat Rahi behind him.You should be hibernating, Solaris, Plia scrawled on her notepad."I'm helping out a few... acquaintances," Solaris hissed.You can't go around helping anyone you--, Plia began to write. Then she noticed Sylux. Get inside! Don't make me call the doctors!​Solaris looked at the intelligent little Rahi and sighed."You're not calling the doctors, I'm fine," Solaris exclaimed. "I'm not having another relapse. I'm over it all!"Oh my, he must be freaking out Ga'mal and Vrilni.

IC: EmmaEmma grinned and sat down at the table, pulling out a few cards from her pocket.'A Takea just ate the entire legion of fish-Toa, right?' she threw a card down on the table, 'A possessed whirlpool comes anddd....throws the waters into turmoil.'-Void

IC - En Route to the LibraryHearing the familiar sound of his fellow Toa Techna, Matra turned to match the name to the face."Forcyte!" he said in greeting, then tilting his head, "How did you know?"Matra nodded as Forcyte rambled off his brilliant deduction. He was used to it by now- the question was simply a formality"That sounds about right."Behind his viser, his eyes tightened on the flying figure now out of his grasp."She got away. Only escaped by the skin of her teeth." he replied.He turned to an injured guard."Not without causing collateral damage. Only a small virus. The technicians have already put a FireWare modem antivirus on it."

IC: HrunjaHrunja cocked his head to the side. In all of his Dungeon Mastering life he had never actually seen someone have a possessed whirlpool, for most people did not consider whirlpools to be a sapient creature."So the waters are in turmoil eh?" he commented, before turning to his Matoran friend. "Your Toa-King is trapped by the whirlpool. What do you do next?""I summon bigger fish!"The Toa of Plasma promptly slammed his head into the table.

OOC: Haha. It didn't occur to me that my own teammates would already by used to my character's habits. :PIC (En route to Library):"Of course. The Hackers' attempts to compromise the ship are by nature foolhardy and incompetent.""What about the virus that killed Ion?""A fluke. When you spend all day making malignant bits of software something's eventually going to go right for you. Law of averages."-Shyyrn

"Why did you attack us?" she asks the being while lowering her switchblade, ignoring the strange librarians words.Maybe he won't attack us.-Mef Man

IC: Sylux (Outside of Housing District)Sylux shook his head as a response and once more began to walk towards the group. Sylux had not attacked them, he was just unfortunate enough to land in a car with people ready to kill him.

OOC: It never occurred to me that a character could notice scorch marks. XDI'm just waiting for him to do it to a stranger, and Matra nodding like "I know. He does that."IC - En Route to the Library"I figured as much. A shame it had to be him, still. I would've willingly taken his place, but he wouldn't have it." Matrapolix appeared completely emotionless as he said it, like reading an article. Of course, he was disheartened.He was pulled back to reality by the library. "I'm researching a certain group of criminals, back from the Matoran Universe. Until next time, Forcyte." he said with a small salute.

IC (Science District):Æon removed the bits of lightstones embedded in her body. "Darn Toa. Need more hackers," she said as she typed it into her datapad. She then spent he time creating viruses, more damaging than the ones she put in.

"Why don't you...keep your distance," she says to the being, holding her knife up a few inches more. "Do you speak? What's your name?"I'm sure I sound like the normal pesturing Matoran.-Mef Man

IC: Sylux (Approaching a trio outside of Housing District)Sylux did not stop walking as the Matoran asked him to do so and kept walking towards the group eerily. He did not feel the need to answer her questions as people like her wouldn't need a name to recognize him; his appearance would be more than sufficient. Not that he needed everyone to know who he was.

IC: Tain, Outside of Housing DistrictTain was set up on a roof with a view. Granted, the view was through a sniper's scope, but still. He was monitoring a confontation that looked like it might turn hostile. He recognized one of the participants, Solaris, a librarian at a library he frequented. He contacted the librarians brain implant, and sent the message:Silence in position to intervene if necessary. Let me know if intervention becomes necessary.Tain continued to monitor the situation. This is what he did when he had time, did what he could to help those who needed it.

IC: Solaris (Housing District)He quickly shoved the cat Rahi back into the building and resumed a fighting stance. What was up with this guy, anyways."Could you at least say something," he said to the oncoming Sylux. "I don't like it when people just approach you with a weapon without saying anything. It kinda makes things a bit impersonal..."Yeah, that didn't sound normal.

Ga'mal points the knife at Sylux. "I'm warning you; just leave us and we won't hurt you." She was trying to act tough, but she didn't feel tough. She was tired, hungry, hurt, and now scared. The last thing she wanted was to fight and that looked like just what they were going to do.-Mef Man

OOC: My weapons are not currently drawn, by the way. Sylux's sniper is on his back and his arm blades are retracted.IC: Sylux (Approaching a group outside of Housing District)Using his Kualsi, Sylux teleported right in front of Ga'mal and shrieked his terrible beast-like robotic voice at the little Matoran right in her face. The voice echoed through the entire block and a robotic laughter proceeded. He wondered how the group would react but was ready for anything to happen.

IC: Vrilni: Housing District: With Ga'mal, Solaris and Sylux: Vrilni had had enough of this creepy stalker person. She raised her stun gun into the air and fired straight up, half as a signal, half as a warning. Electricity crackled across the sky like lightning, then vanished.She lowered her weapon to point it at Sylux. "Tell us your name. Now."

Intervening, Tain, Outside Housing DistrictIC: Tain winced at the abrupt turn apparent negotiations had taken. Re-aiming, he fired a warning shot that impacted in the ground two feet from Sylux's feet. Taking aim at Sylux once more, he waited for the response.

IC (Walking from the library):"Good luck," said Forcyte, returning the salute. He then strode away, heading back to the CKC.Criminals... criminals... could it be?... Ah, yes, it must be them. Data indicates they would have the requisite capacity for destruction and conquest.Forcyte didn't dwell too long on this information from his memory banks, of course. To him, the idea of evil beings from the Matoran Universe was a purely academic one. Indeed, any environment outside of this ship was theoretical to him.He had been created on Techna Nui; it was the only home he had ever known. Perhaps, somewhere in the recesses of his mind, he did feel a sentimental attachment to it.Perhaps...-Shyyrn

OOC: We know.

Ga'mal jumps before taking a step back. She presses her hands against her ears, trying not to scream. Once the laughter started her ears began ringing from the loudness. The Matoran was about to say something when two warning shots were fired from a couple different beings (one being her new ally and the other came from an unknown direction)."Leave...now," she manages to the pwerson before holding her knife up to the being.-Mef Man

IC: Sylux (Angry about the sniper shot outside of Housing District)Barely catching what Ga'mal said, Sylux was angered by the sudden sniper shot that seemingly came from nowhere. He turned around quickly, quicker than a regular being should thanks to his suit and spotted a rogue figure in the rooftops. Sylux looked directly at him and screamed at an extremely loud noise, the glass of a nearby building beginning to crack from the harsh noise.Suddenly, the being was gone from the area, not to be found by the trio; he was to be found by Tain as he teleported directly in front of him, using his Kualsi. His arm blades were not retracted anymore and he sent one of them swinging at the being with the sniper.

IC: Swuiop & Thuiop / The Glitch ParadoxTwo toa, one with brown armor and the other red, came walking into The Glitch Paradox. Both walked up to the counter where Renen stood. Thuiop grunted at the nearest server to come over and provide him something to drink.Swuiop grinned evily at Renen before asking. "So, matoran, are you in charge here?"Having his drink delivered, Thuiop guzzled it in one gulp before slamming it down, nearly leaving a dent in the table and breaking the cup.OOC: Ah the joys of Neutral Evil-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: Solaris (Housing District)He focused on the sniper rifle on the being's back."If I could just get a good look at that rifle I can learn his name," Solaris stated, adjusting his glasses. He focused. FOCUS! There! The left eyepiece of his glasses glowed yellow and the information downloaded into Solaris's head. The history of the rifle was now his."Back off... Sylux," he said, raising his sword a bit higher.That might be his name. Could be a previous owner, though. And... he was gone... And what was happening to Ga'mal? What was with the shot?Oh, adventuring was so much more trouble than he remembered.

IC: Tain, Combat, Outside Housing DistrictTain lunged to the side and detached his pistol from the sniper rifle. His implant connected to the sight instantly and he aimed at Sylux's head. "Stand down!" Tain quickly calculated that the being had no advantage, but neither did Tain. Karz.

The Matoran looks around for the being who had left. Apparently, he had left the three alone and that was good enough for her."Why don't we leave?" she asks the others. "That beast is gone. Shouldn't we talk over what you wanted to ask me?" she asks Vrinil before taking out a cigarette.-Mef Man

IC (Science District):"Time to corrupt the Information District," Æon said evilly, then departed the room and flew to the Information District.

OOC: Whoa there, Solaris. Your eye piece may let you learn information about the item but I seriously doubt that you could learn Sylux's name just by looking at it or who wields it. Sure it could give you details of how the weapon works, etc. but not his name/wielder since that's entirely different information. Not to mention no one knows anything about him or his weapons. If your eyepiece could do that much then it's almost cheap for people who work hard to keep some things hidden from the general populace. IC: Sylux (Rooftop outside of Housing District)Sylux teleported directly behind Tain and sent a speed and strength enhanced kick at the Toa's back.

IC: The inconspicous Onua Gentii sat behind his assistant's desk in the Public Library, facing computer. He appeared to be looking up new cyberbooks for the library to purchase on its monitor. But below the desk rested his non-typing hand on his knee. And his glove was pulled down slightly-ever so slightly-so that a port had connected to the computer. There the magic happened. He was currently within Techna's 'nervous system'; a good analogy for his situation would've been a shrunken person exploring one's spine at a cellular level.How convenient.

IC: Tain, Combat, Rooftop outside of Housing DistrictKarzkarzkarz...... Tain spun to the side, but the kick still clipped his shoulder as he spun. Tain looked at his shoulder. That hurt. Okay, what advantage have I got here...... "You tore my trench coat." He took aim with his pistol again. "One more chance. Stand down, and we can both walk away."

OOC: Well, if he learns what is known about the object, he would be able to find out how Sylux had come about it, either if it were stolen, my character would know who it was stolen from, and who took it because he views as if the item has memories. Or, he would be able to learn about a purchasing transaction in which some sort of identification would be used. Either way, my character doesn't even know if Sylux really is his name, and won't go around assuming what might not be true to him.IC: Solaris (Housing District)Solaris flinched. A cigarette! He hadn't smoked in years... As a matter of fact, he was 100,000 years sober, too. And he only gambled as a joke. If Ga'mal lit that cigarette, he could spiral into another rut, and what would Plia... write?Well, it couldn't hurt to breathe a few poisonous fumes again, would it?Sure enough, Plia had gotten herself out of the building again, and was staring Solaris down."What do you want?" he sighed.Plia glared at Solaris with those feline eyes. Then she wrote, I wanna smoke."Oh, Plia, after all your years as my nurse, keeping me away from bad habits, you want to succumb to my former level?" he taunted.Oh, admit you want one, too, the little Rahi scrawled."Can I get a smoke for me and my friend, here?" he briefly asked Ga'mal.'My friend and I,' Solaris. Have you learned nothing about grammar with that eyepiece? Plia wrote."Actually, I got that grammar correct," Solaris pointed out.Karz, you have me, Plia begrudgingly wrote out.

"Um, are you sure you want one?" she asks the being. "Your...Rahi...smokes?"-Mef Man

OOC: Torch has joined the fray! What will you do?IC (Housing District):Torch awoke.A second later, the snap-hiss of the opening door. Another two seconds and Torch was outside his sleeping pod, rolling his shoulders in his sockets to ease the kinks out of them. Systematically, robotically, he tested every joint in his body. The strain as he stretched felt good. It was like he was becoming a new Toa after his tenure in the sleep pod.It was like he was repaying Ion for his dedication to the Toa Techna.Torch came out of his crouch and reached his hands to the sky. A breath slipped through his lips at the motion. Pressure built in Torch's shoulders until he wanted to pull away from the pain, but he held the position for a full twenty seconds before lowering his arms.Ion hadn't backed away from pain. Why should Torch?His exercise over, the Toa of Plasma fit his Mask of Time Perception more snugly onto his face and activated a mental command.The command prompt window appeared before his right eye, white text over a deep red window.Enter command.He did so. After so many millennia of using his advanced implant, blocking out all thoughts except his commands was second nature.>Contact all Toa Techna.Acknowledged.ContactingContacting.Contacting..Contacting...A gentle dial tone sounded in Torch's audio receptors.

IC: Solaris (Housing District)"Yes, I'm quite sure I want one, and yes she smokes," Solaris answered. "I didn't know this before, but apparently, it's true."Where do you think all those cigar boxes and liquor bottles disappeared to? Plia wrote down."Oh," Solaris said, the truth dawning on him. "I thought you just threw those out."Yeah, not so much, Plia slowly wrote out, as if she were embarrassed.

OOC: I'll let it slide but I still find it kind of unfair. If you could view the item as if it had memories, you could easily be the best detective out there and figure out who killed who or who did what just by merely observing an object. I would think your eye piece should only let you know how an object works or any actual/published information about an item. Still, I'm not going to make a fuss about it.IC: Sylux (Building rooftop outside of Housing District)Sylux starred at Taine, still as a statue but cocking his head slightly to the left eerily. He pointed at the being in front of him and a robotic voice spoke the sentence."Who are you?"

OOC: Since you're supposedly a bounty hunter, TX, time to get hired.IC: Rinnder / Housing DistrictA Vortixx, who had been unnoticed by the others before due to his inconsciptuous movements, suddenly drew from his trenchcoat a laser rifle which he aimed at Tain. "Move away." he said impassively, moving next to Sylux. "I need him alive."None of them recognized the newcomer; even if they knew Rinnder, the illusion generator had him disguised as a white armored Vortixx with a number of scars across the body, and none where they would normally be.His eyes kept locked on Tain, but ocasionaly he would dart to another of the beings assembled. "Leave." he said to Sylux. "We need to talk."-Toa Levacius Zehvor
