Dawn OOC Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 The cop's breathing eased even more, and his eyes fluttered open. "Wha... what happened?""You've been hurt," Vixen said, gently holding him down. "Just relax.""The girl... what... where is she?""Girl?" Vixen frowned, looking around to see if she missed another injured person."She said... monsters chasing her... have to help her." He was weakly trying to move.

Primax Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Looking over to Dwarfstar, Primax looks either grim, or concerned, depending on your perceptions of just how bright Primax was."Well, the signal leads back to this big machine-computer thing and now Omega is trying to either talk to it, shut it down, or take it over. I'm not sure which and he didn't say before he stuck his 'thingie' into it."Primax dind't add that he would have been a bit more cautious about what strange thing he would stick his own 'thingie' into. This thing looked kind of skanky and old for his tastes. Better to just kick it to the curb. Kick it really hard and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn OOC Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 "DSG, slim, Hispanic." The cop was breathing heavily and his face was pained, but he was clearly going to live. "Told her to run... was looking..." He paused and lifted his head, then pointed toward the parking lot. "Was looking that way and didn't see her, so she went behind me..."

SalmonMax Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Tesseract looked at herself, then around at the world, which suddenly looked very large indeed to the senses of her body.She could see how it -might- have been done, shunting her partially into higher level geometries...it would explain why she was suffering no symptoms that being this small would normally inflict. She hadn't lost mass, or volume. Her relationship with the universe had simply been altered."How did you do this?" she asks, looking back up at Vixen's towering form.

Vixen Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 "Magic. Shorthand for 'I don't know.' C'mere. I gotta - hold on - pockets." Obediantly, a pocket sprouts out of her dress. She picks Tesseract up gently, and tucks her inside. "Now hang on."Straining to sniff out the scent of a woman, Vixen and micro-Tess head out in the direction indicated by the cop.

314_Omega Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Omega's head turns and regards Brightstar but something in his eyes tells her he's not actually looking at her but instead simply affecting the gesture. "This computer appears to be an automatic system maintaining the facility. The cybernetic organisms appear to be defensive mechanisms, they mush have been activated by these two," he points to the bodies. "I have deactivated the alarm and shut down the remaining programs. It should be safe. I am going to attempt to determine if there was a backup network or signal which may lead us to whomever or whatever set this facility up."

Primax Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Primax alights beside the Chrome-domed champion, looking gallant, if not particularly ethusiastic."Okay, so their is no need to break it.

Rorx Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Dwarfstar hovers nearby, "Sounds like you've got it all under control at this end. I'll go and check on Vixen and Tess, see how the tidy up is going."With that Dwarfstar teleports back to the front of the market where the police officer was attacked, arriving just in time to see Vixen taking off.I wonder where she is off to, and where Tess has gone. Well it looks like they have taken care of all the 'borgs so there is no danger left here. I may as well go see what she is up to.

Omega has only moments (for him, it is literally seconds) to find and emit the proper response, or something will happen.Vixen & TessaThe girl's scent was mixed with a distinctive smell of fear, making her that much easier to track. They only walked a short way before finding a girl slumped on a park bench clearly worn out. Seeing Vixen and Dwarfstar, she jumped up and started to run again.

314_Omega Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 "Oh." Omega utters the one word as the signal surprises even him. With no time to issue a proper warning to the others Omega dives deep into the computer system in an attempt to locate the proper reply to the signal. He has only enough time to issue a single command to his dermal nanites trusting that they can complete their task and provide enough time for the others to react should he be unable to send the reply signal.

She struggles momentarily in the pocket, but finds getting purchase on the fabric is difficult.So she teleports out, appearing on the ground about twenty feet ahead of Vixen.From there she assesses the situation and her next move.

She wasn't running very well, though; clearly, she was already exhausted. That didn't abate the risk to Tesseract, who was in her path.

Brightstar Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Kallen frowns as Omega Freezes. The color red is nominally a bad sign on this world, especially from technology.

The massive machine tilts awkwardly and for a second it appears as if it is going to topple onto the magnetic hero and crush him."Got it!" he shouts as he balances the burden. Suddenly Omega and BrightStar can see him lift off the ground and beginning flying up. He accelerates up and into the roof.Click to reveal.. Primax is going to fly through the roof and out over the water, buring a Hero Point for speed.

Dawn OOC Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 PrimaxThe overheating computer is awkward to balance, all the more for its unweldly shape. But if Primax is good at one thing, it's bringing overwhelming force to conquer a situation and so the bulky mainframe remains balanced on his shoulders.It's a marvelous sight to the citizens of the city, as he flew out over the harbor. For so long they had been without a hero, and now here was one in action. It took a few more moments for them to connect his being in action with them potentially being in danger, but the sense of security was nice while it lasted.Out over the harbor, Primax heaved the machine a bit further, well away from anything. It had just started to fall when it began to slag, dripping molten metal into the water far below.Dwarfstar, Vixen, Tessa"I ain't talking," the girl said, jutting her chin out. "I gots rights...
