[22:24] <Chako> (Cham sez, Yes.)
[22:24] <Hope> ( Test me our, darlin' )
[22:24] <Isis> ( Beef stew! I WANT beef stew now! Son of a bitching Sohmas! )
[22:24] <Tim> d20+41
[22:24] * Hope rolls for Tim (d20+41) and gets 56.
[22:25] <Chamelaeon> <<Last time on ATC, the Europa Team was in a tunnel. Well,
all of them but Illyana, who was who knows where. But inside the tube were also
Hippies! It looks to be a cache of seven or so ShinyHeads.>>
[22:25] <Chamelaeon> <<The tunnel was really a tube in the center of an
asteroid, and it was leading to where the Messenger was.>>
[22:26] <Chamelaeon> <<[/End Exposition! Start with initiative. Isn't that
nice?]>>
[22:26] <Tim> d6+8
[22:26] * Hope rolls for Tim (d6+8) and gets 11.
[22:26] <Chako> d6+8
[22:26] * Hope rolls for Chako (d6+8) and gets 11.
[22:26] <Tim> ( No, it isn't. It means we're gonna DIE! ;_; )
[22:26] <Vernon> (What's my initiative again? c_c;)
[22:26] <Charlie> d6+9
[22:26] * Hope rolls for Charlie (d6+9) and gets 13.
[22:27] <Isis> ( d6+Run away like a little girl)
[22:27] <Vernon> d6+7
[22:27] * Hope rolls for Vernon (d6+7) and gets 9.
[22:27] <Isis> d6+8

[22:27] <Vernon> (Ah, right.)

[22:28] * Hope rolls for Chamelaeon (d6+7) and gets 11.
[22:28] <Isis> (...)
[22:28] <Isis> (ALright, get the hanging chad counters in here. This is rigged.)
[22:28] <Hope> ( I swear it's not. ((_; )
[22:28] <Chamelaeon> <<That makes it Charlie, TimChakoIsisLisa, the Hippies, and
poor little Vernon. Must be an equinox or something.>>
[22:29] <Isis> ( It;s the age of freakin' Aquarius, let's GO already. )
[22:29] <Chamelaeon> <<Yes! Charlie!>>
[22:29] <Charlie> (so, what's the surroundings? Just a big hole in the ground?)
[22:30] <Chamelaeon> <<You're inside the tube. It's silvery!>>
[22:30] <Charlie> (I will shoot at a hippie! Amazing that)
[22:30] <Charlie> 2d6-3
[22:30] * Hope rolls for Charlie (2d6-3) and gets 4.
[22:30] <Charlie> (3 hits)
[22:31] <Charlie> (er, 4, I think)
[22:31] <Chamelaeon> <<The Hippie is ventilated. Er, everyone but Vernon go
now.>>
[22:31] * Tim takes cover behind Chako, for now.
[22:31] <Isis> ( Unless there's something directly in my way, I'm still charging
past the hippies and toward the messenger. )
[22:32] <Chamelaeon> <<The way is clear, but it's tough to do - the actual
tube's only about two suits wide. You don't get so far.>>
[22:33] * Chako does the charging thing too, with her large laser-sword swinging
through the space she's going through.
[22:34] <Chako> 2d6-3
[22:34] * Hope rolls for Chako (2d6-3) and gets 5.
[22:34] <Chako> 2d6-3
[22:34] * Hope rolls for Chako (2d6-3) and gets 0.
[22:34] <Chako> 2d6-3
[22:34] * Hope rolls for Chako (2d6-3) and gets 2.
[22:34] <Illyana> 2d6+1
[22:34] * Hope rolls for Illyana (2d6+1) and gets 10.
[22:36] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako makes SOOP out of Hippies. It's so easy! But she
lags behind Isis for distance. Lisa, for her part, makes some gills in the
Hippies left over. The remaining one is in the fetal position, either because
he's being polite, or because you've just broken his poor peace-lovin' head.>>
[22:36] <Vernon> (o/~ Is so easy / Happy go lucky o/~)
[22:36] <Chamelaeon> <<The tunnel is now clear.>>
[22:37] * Tim starts running through the tunnel again.
[22:37] * Vernon follows.
[22:37] * Charlie GOes, to catch up with Isis.
[22:37] <Chamelaeon> <<The tunnel's zero-g, remember, so you're moving at a
decent clip now.>>
[22:38] * Isis is fast. Supposedly.
[22:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Every once in a while there's a window, and you see a few
Hippies outside, mostly confused and looking around crazed-like.>>
[22:39] <Isis> ( Hmm. We need a standard comlink kind of prefix thingy. )
[22:39] <Chamelaeon> (Choose your Ascii character wisely.)
[22:40] <Tim> ( How about ~This~? )
[22:41] <Isis> ( Heh. Sure. Cham stole the usual bystander I've seen, << >> )
[22:41] <Chamelaeon> (Woot. ~ it is, then.)
[22:41] <Isis> ~ The hippie ship... Lisa, can you get them to track it? It's
important. ~
[22:42] <Isis> ~ Or perhaps Tim has an amazing nanite flea which he'll direct to
infiltrate the ship's hull, which he invented in his spare time this weekend?
Something. Anything. ~
[22:43] <Chamelaeon> ~I can try.~ She frowns on the viscreen. ~Shit. No one in
command is answering.~
[22:43] <Vernon> (Nanite fleas? Yeah, we've got that.)
[22:45] <Tim> ~ Uhm... I don't think I can use my nanites that way. It's an
idea, tho. ~
[22:47] <Isis> ~ It was worth considering, anyway. ~
[22:47] * Tim starts to completely forget about what he's supposed to be doing
as he begins thinking of a way he could maybe make something do that. n_n
[22:48] <Chamelaeon> <<You're coming up on the end of the tunnel. It ends in an
irising door, which would be closed if it were not actually lying on the floor
beside a huge gaping hole. It has fingermarks on the side of it.>>
[22:49] <Charlie> ( ~ is meant to be team-only, right? )
[22:49] * Tim snaps out of it. ~Uhm... this can't be good.~
[22:49] <Vernon> ~...~
[22:50] * Chako says, ~Nice. Very nice. Looks like we'll have trouble.~
[22:50] <Charlie> (how thick is/was the door?)
[22:50] <Chamelaeon> <<Oh, few feet or so.>>
[22:50] <Tim> ~ Oh, good. I hadn't had enough trouble for today. ~
[22:51] <Tim> ~ And, you know, I get mopy and depressed when I have a day
without trouble. Can't have enough trouble, I always say. ~
[22:52] <Charlie> ~ Careful, I think they're still there.. ~
[22:52] * Chako grins slightly. ~ Glad to hear it. Want point?~
[22:52] <Tim> ~ So... who goes in first? ~
[22:52] * Isis shakes her head. ~ We're probably already too late... ~
[22:54] <Charlie> ~ Where's that door go? ~
[22:54] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa frowns. ~I'll go first.~ She runs forward, and some
screams come from the other side, and then some explosions, then silence.>>
[22:54] <Charlie> (that was quick..)
[22:55] <Tim> ~...~
[22:55] <Tim> ~ Oookay. How about we all go at once? Or we could run. ~
[22:55] <Vernon> ~...~
[22:55] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa's voice comes over the comm. ~Good. Now hurry, let's
move!~>>
[22:56] * Isis lets out a sigh of relief, even if she'd never admit it even to
torture. ~ Coming. ~
[22:56] * Tim blinks. Oh, so it wasn't *Lisa's* screams. That's reassuring.
[22:56] * Chako frowns. ~Well, I like your style, but ya should at least share.~
She advances through the gate.
[22:56] <Tim> ~Sure thing, chief.~
[22:56] * Tim moves!
[22:56] * Vernon shrugs and follows.
[22:56] * Charlie goes.. just so ya know for sure.
[22:58] <Chamelaeon> <<Through the door is a nice scene; there are ATC exosuits
lying EVERYWHERE. You literally cannot take a step without walking on one. Looks
like this was their failed last stand. You're now in a large square room, on a
platform which goes for several miles out, then stops. You can't see below you,
but above you is a HUGE scaffolding structure, and smack in the middle of that
is a roughly circular asteroid.>>
[22:59] <Tim> ~ ...shit. ~
[22:59] <Chamelaeon> <<There is a group of Hippies on the scaffolding, slowly
climbing/jumping in the low g, but only 1/4 of the way there. They all look
really well equipped, for Hippies, and one of the suits is all black and looks
MONSTROUS.>>
[23:00] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa frowns. ~What the hell...~>>
[23:00] <Tim> ~ Charlie, tell me you can shoot that far? ~
[23:01] * Isis grits her teeth. "Only got one of these left..."
[23:01] <Charlie> (how far is it?.. not that far, right?)
[23:01] * Chako makes a small sighing noise. ~Ya tried hard, boys.~ She looks up
at the scaffolding. ~Damn. Guess I can't knock that over, eh?~
[23:02] <Chamelaeon> <<Actually, they're only about 3/4 mile away. They appear
to have not noticed you.>>
[23:02] * Isis runs. She's unbelievably hasty, for some reason.
[23:03] <Chamelaeon> (Up the scaffolding?)
[23:03] * Tim takes aim at the hulking suit. Sure, this qualifies as an
emergency.
[23:03] <Charlie> ~Oh sure, I can hit 'em~ .. *he kneels down, unfolding his
rifle*
[23:04] <Isis> ( S'what I paid CP for Wall-Crawling for. )
[23:04] <Tim> ( Man, I love that attribute. )
[23:05] <Isis> ( What kind of ninja could I be if I couldn't run up walls and
stand on ceilings? )
[23:05] * Chako chuckles, and a large rifle swivels out of her back, onto her
shoulder. ~Might as well both go for it, eh Charlie?~
[23:05] <Tim> ~ Heh. I'm in on this, too. Don't count on me to hit anything,
mind, but I'm trying anyway. ~
[23:06] <Chamelaeon> <<Sweet Jesus, it's SpiderIsis! She goes shimmying up the
scaffolding all cool-like. Lisa, for her part, starts leaping from beam to beam
with fantastic agility.>>
[23:06] <Vernon> ~I'm pretty much useless for this, I'm afraid.~
[23:06] * Charlie lines up his shot. ~ Sure thing. Let's go for the big suit. ~
[23:06] <Tim> ~ Sounds like a plan. ~
[23:06] <Isis> ( Radioactive spider suit. )
[23:06] * Tim keeps aiming. Steady...
[23:06] <Charlie> 2d6-6
[23:06] * Hope rolls for Charlie (2d6-6) and gets 5.
[23:07] * Chako says, ~Works for me.~ She aims up carefully.
[23:07] <Charlie> (yep ^_^)
[23:07] <Tim> 2d6-1
[23:07] * Hope rolls for Tim (2d6-1) and gets 7.
[23:07] <Tim> ( That's a negatory. ;_; )
[23:07] <Chamelaeon> <<That climbing's gonna take a bit.>>
[23:07] <Tim> ( ...wait, that should be -2. But it' still a miss. )
[23:08] * Chako looks like she's struggling with this rifle that... probably
barely fit inside the suit, as she takes aim.
[23:08] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie's shot rings true! But unfortunately, one of the
secondary suits gets in the line of fire. He makes a neat blood spray as his
head turns to a fine red mist, though.>>
[23:09] <Charlie> (meanie)
[23:09] * Tim aims again, biting his lip.
[23:09] <Chamelaeon> <<Tim's shot SLAMS against one of the support beams,
shaking the whole thing. A few Hippies actually float off into the air. It's
unsure whether they're dead or unconscious.>>
[23:10] <Chako> 2d6-3
[23:10] * Hope rolls for Chako (2d6-3) and gets 5.
[23:10] <Isis> ( ...Lovely. "The scaffolding under Isis and lisa's feet goes
floating into space!" )
[23:11] <Chamelaeon> <<The scaffolding holds strong, even as another secondary
Hippy suit gets destroyed when it oddly gets into the line of fire.>>
[23:12] * Tim grits his teeth and shoots again!
[23:12] <Tim> 2d6-2
[23:12] * Hope rolls for Tim (2d6-2) and gets 6.
[23:12] <Tim> ( ;_; )
[23:12] <Chamelaeon> <<Tim's shot misses the scaffolding this time.>>
[23:12] <Chamelaeon> <<People not on the scaffolding, Visual +5, sensors help.>>
[23:12] <Isis> ~ <out of breath> Watch it, there. ~
[23:13] * Chako says, ~Hey, don't worry.~ She takes aim again.
[23:13] <Vernon> 2d6+3
[23:13] * Hope rolls for Vernon (2d6+3) and gets 11.
[23:13] <Chako> 2d6+3
[23:13] <Vernon> (ahahaha.)
[23:13] * Hope rolls for Chako (2d6+3) and gets 10.
[23:13] <Chako> (Hah! No.)
[23:13] <Charlie> 2d6+1
[23:13] * Hope rolls for Charlie (2d6+1) and gets 7.
[23:13] <Tim> 2d6+3
[23:13] * Hope rolls for Tim (2d6+3) and gets 15.
[23:14] <Chamelaeon> (COUGH)
[23:14] <Tim> ( ... Atom's dice loathe me today. )
[23:14] <Isis> ( Tim sees pretty rainbows, fluffy bunnies, and scenes from
"Airplane 2" )
[23:15] <Chamelaeon> <<Wow. In a massive display of tunnel vision, none of you
notice as Tim and Vernon basically vanish. And, in fact, neither do THEY.>>
[23:15] <Charlie> ( Too busy firing that gun, eh Tim? )
[23:15] <Vernon> (...)
[23:15] <Tim> ( *cracks up* )
[23:15] *** Hope is now known as Atom[Dicebot]
[23:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako's now alone on the scaffolding.>>
[23:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Er, platform.>>
[23:16] <Isis> ( ...Was gonna say. )
[23:16] * Chako isn't really noticing. Too busy aiming.
[23:17] <Chamelaeon> (... i forgot Charlie! Curses. He's there too.)
[23:17] <Isis> ( His stealth is so good, even the GM forgets. )
[23:18] <Charlie> ( ^_^_v )
[23:18] <Chamelaeon> <<The black suit has ceased climbing, and is now actually
DROPPING off the scaffolding towards the platform below. The other suits follow
it.>>
[23:18] * Chako will fire at the big guy again, then, if he's dropping. ~Shit!~
[23:18] <Chako> 2d6-2
[23:18] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6-2) and gets 9.
[23:18] <Tim> ( The black suit is bringing the ruckus. )
[23:19] * Charlie fires again as he hits the ground.
[23:19] <Charlie> 2d6-6
[23:19] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Charlie (2d6-6) and gets -1.
[23:19] <Isis> ( Thanks for the distraction! Send us a postcard. )
[23:19] <Chamelaeon> ~Aw, fuck!~ Lisa also just drops off the scaffolding.
[23:19] * Isis pauses, clinging to the wall ala Strider Hiryuu. ~ Needed? Or
not? ~
[23:20] <Chamelaeon> <<One more of the secondary suits drops, just before the
black suit SLAMS into the ground, making a nice crater.>>
[23:20] <Chamelaeon> ~*pant* Yes. This guy's crazy ... strong. Need all we got.~
[23:21] <Charlie> ~Holy..~ *charlie gets up right quick. He's going to need to
be able to move.*
[23:21] * Chako 's rifle starts swiveling back to her back and she growls as her
suit starts to shimmer very slightly.
[23:22] <Chamelaeon> <<The suit stirs, and stands up. The secondaries lay on the
ground in positions that would require quite a few less working vertebrae in a
living human.>>
[23:22] * Isis mutters and flips a little internal switch, dropping and
activating the hologram generator. ~ Alright. We need to finish this quickly...
~
[23:23] <Isis> ( I forgot I bought Inivisible to Sensors. Hee. ^_^ )
[23:23] <Isis> ( I should read my sheet more often. I have more fun toys than I
remember. o_o )
[23:24] <Chamelaeon> <<The suit is HUGE. Twice your height, and many times your
girth. Suddenly, a face appears on your viscreens. It's a large man, with a
piggish nose and a bald head. He smiles. "Well. If it isn't the Europa Team.">>
[23:24] <Chako> (Heh. Chako has more weapons than I know what to do with. ^_^;)
[23:24] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa lands on the ground feet first. She fails to even
grunt.>>
[23:25] <Isis> ( Is that who I think it is? )
[23:25] <Chako> (Bald Bull? *cough*)
[23:25] <Chamelaeon> <<You do not recognize the man.>>
[23:25] <Isis> ( Guess not. )
[23:26] <Isis> ~ Don't panic. I'm behind you, made up like a Hippie suit. ~
"Sir! I've got them covered from behind."
[23:26] * Chako snorts. "Glad to see we're so famous." She freezes on Isis'
sudden action.
[23:26] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa frowns. ~Who the hell are -" She freezes.>>
[23:28] <Chamelaeon> <<The man smiles. "Good to hear. What's your operating
number, soldier, so I can promote you?">>
[23:28] <Isis> ( Aw, DAMNIT. )
[23:29] <Tim> ( 123456, Sir! )
[23:30] <Illyana> ( 1. I was an early recruit. )
[23:30] * Isis holds her sword unsteadibly on purpose. "TK-421, sir. Errr,
FN-HAR? M9? 8675309. I'm sorry, sir, this is my first battle and I'm a bit
ne-ne-nervous. They sent me from the front to get you."
[23:31] <Isis> ( *looks* An HF blade, a short-range teleport, wall-crawling...
no acting skill. )
[23:32] <Chamelaeon> <<The man guffaws. "Oh, nice try, nice try indeed. You must
be Isis. See, we Hippies HAVE no operating numbers. The weak-willed bastards'd
forget 'em the second we gave them to them." He stops smiling. "My name is Black
Bean. And this is our part of the game. We fight, I win.">>
[23:33] * Chako says, ~Works for me!~ and fires her left and right arm lasers
into the guy.
[23:33] <Chamelaeon> <<Roll that, Chako, then everyone rolls init.>>
[23:33] <Chamelaeon> d6+9
[23:33] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chamelaeon (d6+9) and gets 13.
[23:34] <Charlie> d6+9
[23:34] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Charlie (d6+9) and gets 13.
[23:34] <Chako> 2d6+1
[23:34] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6+1) and gets 4.
[23:34] <Chako> 2d6+1
[23:34] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6+1) and gets 10.
[23:34] * Isis grins in spite of herself. "Perceptive. Kind of a waste." She
shuts off the illusion and points her sword at Black Bean dramatically. "What's
your specialty, Black Bean? Tasting piquant with guacamole?"
[23:34] <Isis> d6+8
[23:34] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Isis (d6+8) and gets 13.
[23:34] <Chako> d6+8
[23:34] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (d6+8) and gets 10.
[23:36] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako's laser hits BB on the arm, but seems to do very
little. A building behind him blows up cause she missed with the other,
though.>>
[23:36] * Charlie dodges off to the left to put a little more distance between
himself and the big guy.
[23:36] <Chamelaeon> <<Init is IsisBBCharlie,ChakoLisa>>
[23:38] * Isis stays where she is, holding her sword in front of her defensively
and analyzing the situation. (hold action)
[23:38] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie?>>
[23:38] * Charlie fires his auto!
[23:38] <Charlie> 2d6-3
[23:38] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Charlie (2d6-3) and gets 6.
[23:38] <Charlie> (1 hit)
[23:39] <Isis> 2d6-2
[23:39] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Isis (2d6-2) and gets 2.
[23:39] <Isis> ( Whee! That succeeds. ^_^_v )
[23:39] <Isis> ( Thank god. @_@ )
[23:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie's hit kind of bounces off of thin air, somehow.>>
[23:40] <Charlie> ~Man! He's got some hefty armor there!... Distract him, I need
to bring out my rifle again.~
[23:41] <Chamelaeon> <<BB smiles, and pulls out a HONKIN HUGE HAMMER that
appears to be actually hydraulic in nature. He burns his turn doing that,
actually.>>
[23:41] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako?>>
[23:41] * Chako mutters angrily, and does the firing two weapons thing again,
although this time it's a pulse of energy, not a laser, out of her left arm.
[23:42] <Chako> (Er, RIGHT arm changed. c.c;)
[23:42] <Chako> 2d6+1
[23:42] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6+1) and gets 8.
[23:42] <Chako> 2d6+1
[23:42] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6+1) and gets 9.
[23:42] <Chako> (Not that it matters. Ye god.)
[23:42] <Isis> ( Chako does the hard work for them! Goodbye, Messenger! )
[23:42] <Chako> (Hah.)
[23:43] <Isis> ( Got any nukes you wanna throw around, Kerrigan? Part of the
scenery's still standing. )
[23:43] <Chako> (I ain't using the area attacks. ^_^;)
[23:43] <Chamelaeon> <<Chako misses, crazily, and manages to not hit Lisa as she
runs up and takes two swipes at BB.>>
[23:43] <Chamelaeon> 2 2d6-3
[23:43] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chamelaeon (2 2d6-3) and gets 5 7.
[23:44] <Isis> ( Well, that's a feature I'll remember to use. )
[23:46] <Chamelaeon> <<BB gets two gashes along the side of his armor. He frowns
and growls.>>
[23:46] <Chamelaeon> <<CharlieIsis!>>
[23:46] <Isis> ( What did I find out? ^_^; )
[23:47] <Chamelaeon> <<He's got something that looks like a force field
projector on his left leg.>>
[23:48] <Isis> ( Okay. Time to flex some strategic muscle! )
[23:48] * Charlie runs off, hoping he's not noticed.. looking for a bit of cover
to hide behind.
[23:48] <Isis> ~ Charlie! Chako! Aim for the left leg. Lisa and I will distract
him. ~
[23:48] * Charlie kneels behind some dead things.. ick..
[23:51] * Isis holds up her sword, then runs at BB -- "Tsukitomi-style Sword
Art..." -- and takes two superfast swipes at BB's left arm -- "Shippuga!"
[23:51] <Isis> ( It was hokey. I wanted to do it, though. ^_^ )
[23:51] <Isis> 2 2d6-4
[23:51] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Isis (2 2d6-4) and gets 7 3.
[23:51] * Chako (hehs.)
[23:51] <Isis> ( Both hits, and his Melee Defense doesn't apply. )
[23:52] <Chamelaeon> (Nice. Damage?)
[23:52] <Isis> ( Unless he's got some super weapon skill I don't know anything
about. ^_^ )
[23:52] <Isis> ( Um? 32 x2, so 64. )
[23:52] <Isis> ( And one level of Penetrate/Armor. )
[23:54] <Chamelaeon> <<BB grunts, and digs his feet in. Then he swings the
hammer over his head and aims for Isis.
[23:54] <Chamelaeon> 2d6-4
[23:54] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chamelaeon (2d6-4) and gets 0.
[23:54] <Vernon> (...)
[23:54] <Chako> (Ow? @_@)
[23:54] <Tim> ( This may sting a bit... )
[23:54] <Isis> ( So he got a 4. S'not a critical. :P )
[23:55] <Chamelaeon> <<Take ... 60 damage, minus your armor.>>
[23:55] <Isis> ( I don't get to defend? ^_^; )
[23:55] <Chamelaeon> (Oop. so you do. My bad.)
[23:56] <Isis> 2d6-3
[23:56] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Isis (2d6-3) and gets 4.
[23:56] <Isis> ( Which succeeds. So there. :P )
[23:56] <Isis> ( You people are a little too eager to bury me, I think. You want
me gone that bad? :P )
[23:57] <Chako> (*snickers*)
[23:57] <Chamelaeon> <<BB slams his hammer into the ground, which doesn't like
it much. Chako, Charlie, Body rolls, +1 for each level of superstrength.>>
[23:57] <Chamelaeon> (-1.)
[23:57] <Chako> 2d6-2
[23:57] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6-2) and gets 5.
[23:57] <Chako> (Woot. Barely made it.)
[23:57] <Charlie> 2d6-1
[23:57] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Charlie (2d6-1) and gets 6.
[23:58] <Charlie> (and Body is 6)
[23:58] <Isis> ( Fortune smiles upon thee, Sniper Wolf! Thou hast made the Body
Check! )
[23:58] <Illyana> ( afk a sec )
[23:59] <Chamelaeon> <<LisaChako!>>
[23:59] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa flips over BB's head, and lands on top of him. She
aims for his head with a sword.>>
[23:59] <Chamelaeon> 2d6-3
[23:59] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chamelaeon (2d6-3) and gets 3.
[00:00] <Chamelaeon> <<BB says "ARGH!" as the sword is stuck firm in his neck
joint.>>
[00:00] * Chako drops the two weapon thing, and just growls as she fires her
left-hand laser at BB's leg.
[00:01] <Chako> 2d6-2
[00:01] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Chako (2d6-2) and gets 6.
[00:01] <Isis> ( You need a bazooka or something. Filled with Dark Matter. )
[00:01] <Chako> (I only wish. *_*)
[00:01] <Isis> ( "What the HELL?" "Just something I picked up at the edge of a
black hole." )
[00:02] <Chamelaeon> <<The laser shoots RIGHT THROUGH BB'S leg, but he actually
doesn't even flinch. Looks like his leg isn't even REAL. The air shimmers a
little.>>
[00:02] <Isis> ( ...Orko! )
[00:03] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "Fake limbs? That's cheap, even for a
NeoHippie. Something tells me you're not their type, however."
[00:04] <Chamelaeon> There's more of me fake than real, girl.
[00:04] <Chamelaeon> <<IsisCharlie!>>
[00:04] <Isis> ( I am going to continue my rampage. )
[00:05] <Isis> ( "My sword glows with an awesome power. It beckons me to defeat
you!" )
[00:05] * Charlie takes a shot at his shoulder.
[00:06] <Charlie> (+4?.. I should really write that down..)
[00:06] * Chako growls some more. Intelligent, ain't she?
[00:06] * Isis shrugs. "Your loss." She swings her sword around in a wide arc, a
spark ball of electricity flying off the tip and at the suit.
[00:06] <Isis> 2d6
[00:06] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Isis (2d6) and gets 10.
[00:06] <Isis> ( Hoo! I should stick with melee. )
[00:07] <Isis> ( What *is* the skill for special attacks like that, anyway?
Thrown Weapons/Blasts? )
[00:07] <Chamelaeon> <<Isis' shot goes awry, hitting a lamp, which sizzles.>>
[00:07] <Chamelaeon> (*nod*)
[00:07] <Chamelaeon> <<BB, for his part, swats Lisa off his head with his
hammer. She goes SAILING over and crunches against a building.
[00:08] <Charlie> 2d6-4
[00:08] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Charlie (2d6-4) and gets 1.
[00:10] <Chamelaeon> <<BB takes the shot to the shoulder and frowns.>> "Lousy
intelligence is the hobgoblin of the warrior who plays to win. Red Bean!"
[00:11] <Chamelaeon> <<A red suit appears beside Black Bean.>> "Black, they were
too strong! What a dirty trick!" "Yes, Red, I know." <<Black waves to you.>>
"Truly, it's time to go. Till next time, then."
[00:11] <Isis> ( Yeah, Biggs, Wedge. See ya. )
[00:12] <Chako> (Snicker.)
[00:12] * Isis snarls and runs forward. "Stop!"
[00:12] <Vernon> (...is Isis going to do the Haruko rotating-hand trick? I want
to see this.)
[00:12] <Chamelaeon> <<The suits seem to shift at an angle, and then they're
gone in a whiff of ozone.>>
[00:13] <Isis> ( *kicks Vernon in the shin* )
[00:13] <Vernon> (Ow!)
[00:13] <Charlie> (Just outta curiosity, what did the red suit look like?)
[00:14] <Chamelaeon> (It was light-looking, all red, and had wings. And a
sparkly helmet!)
[00:14] <Isis> ( Wait. We were attacked by Knight Man and Weltall-2? )
[00:14] <Chamelaeon> (.... yes. <_< >_>)
[00:14] <Chako> (I was thinking more like Steel, with the hammer.)
[00:15] * Chako lowers her left arm slowly. "Goddamn freaks." She looks over to
Lisa. ~Ya live, Lisa?~
[00:15] <Charlie> (Do we get to notice that the others aren't here?)
[00:16] <Chamelaeon> <<There is no answer. And yes.>>
[00:16] * Isis sighs and sheathes her sword. "Damn mercenaries. Don't they
understand who they're helping?" ~ Tim? Vernon? Respond. ~
[00:17] <Tim> ~Uhm, this is Tim.~
[00:17] <Tim> ~We're somewhere above you, outside a door that doesn't want to
open, ever.~
[00:18] * Chako starts walking over towards where Lisa was knocked. ~I sorta
think they were all that was left. Lisa? Lisa respond!~
[00:18] * Charlie gets up, turns off his ecm and cloaking.. since they know
we're here.
[00:18] * Isis hmmms. ~ So, they couldn't open the Messenger? That means ATC
never could either. ~ She glances at Chako, and then follows Chako's LOS.
[00:18] <Tim> ~Vernon's out cold, too. Red Fart took him down before trying me.~
[00:18] <Chamelaeon> (Charlie's ECM is off. Tim's and whoever ELSE has it
remains on.)
[00:18] <Isis> ( Oh, there's a feat. "Vernon, your shoelaces are untied?" "Wha?"
*WHAM* )
[00:18] <Tim> ( *turns off his ECM, too* )
[00:19] <Chamelaeon> (That ... was it, I think.)
[00:20] <Chamelaeon> <<With the ECM off, you can all see each other on sensors
again. Scattered Hippy forces remain in the Residential area, but the brains of
the Europa Team are over by the asteroid.>>
[00:20] * Charlie is looking for the others on sensor, if there's no jamming.
[00:20] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa remains silent.>
[00:21] <Chamelaeon> <<But Chako sees her crumpled on the ground. Her suit's
still broadcasting lifesigns.>>
[00:22] * Chako says, sounding a little less worried, ~Well, at least she seems
alive. That was one hell of a hit. Any of you know how to get in the Messenger?
Isis?~
[00:23] * Isis frowns. ~ The museum data... it might have a clue on how to open
the doors. It did contain technical specs, after all. ~
[00:24] <Tim> ~ Yeah, that might work. ~
[00:25] <Charlie> ~We should go check out that thing, at least.. maybe it's got
an "open" button~ *he winks*
[00:25] <Tim> ~ No 'open' button. I checks. I don't suppose you could send me a
copy of that museum info, Isis? ~
[00:26] * Chako looks at Lisa, and says angrily, ~I can't lift her and follow
you up. I'll just stay down here and kill anyone who walks in until Lisa comes
to.~ She punches the suit lightly. ~Like now. Wake up, Koez.~
[00:26] <Tim> ( Checked, even. I are sleepy, todays. )
[00:27] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa groans. ~Oh, my fucking head.~>>
[00:28] * Isis blinks, then frowns. ~ Apparently not. The data stream's
corrupted somehow. ~ She glances at Chako. "I'm going up."
[00:28] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa gets up to her knees.>> Fuck. That was a nasty
knock... I think I'm okay now, though.
[00:29] * Isis heads for some convenient debris or scaffolding or maybe a LADDER
or something and starts for the meteor.
[00:29] <Tim> ~ Data stream's corrupted? ...that's no good. ~
[00:29] <Chamelaeon> <<Scaffolding is still there, however battered.>>
[00:29] * Chako nods, and says to Lisa, ~Both of the hostiles fled, there's
nothing else in the area, it seems. Everyone's up by the Messenger.~
[00:30] <Isis> ~ I'm not sure why. It could be interference from the Messenger
itself, or blocking ATC put in to keep information from being sent out of this
area. ~
[00:30] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa rubs her head and nods.>> Yeah. Let's get up there.
[00:31] <Chamelaeon> <<Lisa goes for the scaffolding, a little unsurely.>>
[00:31] <Chako> ~Roger to that.~ She turns to the scaffolding. ~Hope this thing
holds.~
[00:31] <Charlie> ~It held Bowling Ball, or whatever his name was..~
[00:32] * Isis chuckles, and stops using the secure channel. "We put a few dents
in it, though." She sounds out of breath from running. "Those weren't Hippies.
They don't have the right attitude. But what kind of mercenary would join up
with people who want to eradicate humanity?"
[00:32] <Charlie> ~(To Lisa) Need some help Lisa, or you gonna be ok?~
[00:33] <Chamelaeon> <<Okay. FF through this climbing crap. You're all at the
asteroid. There's a platform in front of a door, at which Illy and Tim are
looking carefully. Vernon's passed out on the floor. There are computers all
over the place, and sensors as well.>>
[00:33] <Tim> Hmmm.
[00:34] <Chamelaeon> Lisa climbs up to the top. "I have no idea, Isis. It's
scary."
[00:34] <Isis> This is better news than we could have hoped for. Not only could
the Hippies not get in, but it doesn't look like our employers could, either. 
[00:34] * Chako says, ~Hey, not everyone works for ATC. Alien tech and pay? For
normal mercs, that's like a birthday.~
[00:35] <Illyana> Neither can ve, so far.
[00:35] <Vernon> 2d6-1
[00:35] * Atom[Dicebot] rolls for Vernon (2d6-1) and gets 4.
[00:35] * Vernon groans. "...brain hurts..."
[00:35] * Isis nods. "I'll access the museum data. If push comes to shove, I can
just read it OFF to you."
[00:35] <Tim> 'Mornin', Vernon. Thanks for softening up Red Fart for me.
[00:36] <Isis> ( Why is it every time I say "museum data" I expect the
gel/eyeball enemy from Megaman 8 to be in there? )
[00:36] * Vernon sits up slowly. "You got him?"
[00:36] <Chamelaeon> Lisa sits down on the deck. She pulls off her helmet and
gloves, and starts rubbing her head.
[00:37] <Tim> Yeah. He wussed out before too long. Prolly would've lost if you
hadn't gone first, tho. So, uh, yeah.
[00:37] <Vernon> Ah, glad to hear it.
[00:38] <Chamelaeon> (Hoo. I can wrap up whenever you're ready.)
[00:38] <Tim> ( Works for me. Are we actually getting through the door? )
[00:38] <Illyana> ( Bah. Can't we open the door first? x.x )
[00:38] <Isis> ( Let's open the door first. ^_^ )
[00:39] <Chamelaeon> (Not if you want to end this at 1.)
[00:39] <Tim> ( ...let's not open the door first. )
[00:39] <Isis> ( I'm willing to play a little later if it means opening the door
now. :P )
[00:39] <Charlie> (This is kinda a decent stopping point)
[00:39] <Illyana> ( It's gonna take that long to open it? x.x )
[00:39] * Chako looks over at Lisa's wooziness, then down to make sure that
nobody's following.
[00:40] <Chamelaeon> (The door is not going to be a follow-the-lego-intructions
thing. ^_^;)
[00:40] <Illyana> ( Yeah, but I've been working on it for 2 sessions x.x )
[00:40] <Isis> ( I don't WANT to get the master sword and the three pendants! )
[00:40] <Chako> (Bah. I've got armor-penetrating two. I'll just cut it open!)
[00:40] <Chamelaeon> (You're welcome to try, if you can, you know, actually
touch it.)
[00:41] <Tim> ( "The door takes thirty damage. Unfortunately, it has one billion
hitpoints." "..." )
[00:41] <Chamelaeon> <<The door, for description's sake, is like a garage door -
one panel in the rockface, slightly recessed.>>
[00:41] <Chako> (Rats! Foiled again.)
[00:43] <Chamelaeon> <<Nobody is following you - the Hippies seem to have fled
somehow.>>
[00:43] *** Isis (lina@12.109.93.134) Quit (Ping timeout)
[00:43] <Tim> ( Er. Ending now works fine for me. Honest. )
[00:43] <Chamelaeon> (That, my friends, is an omen.)
[00:44] <Illyana> ( ugh. )
[00:44] <Vernon> (meep.)
[00:44] <Chamelaeon> <<SESSION FIFTEEN LANDED! BOY, DON'T YOU FEEL SHINY NOW!>>
