knave Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Basilisk [the screen reveals a lithe woman with grey reptilian skin firing a bright energy beam from her eyes. The camera shot pans after the continuous beam, to focus on where it blasts through a reinforced concrete building several hundred meters away]Black Dagger [an aerial shot shows several baseline troops falling dead with slit throats - seemingly for no reason. When the whole group is dead, a male figure in military fatigues & a full-head grey hood with a sillhouette of a black, Arabic style, dagger over the face shimmers into visibility, dagger in each hand]Decay [the footage of the DeVries Elite is a blur, then slows to a single captured image of the man - silver oval mask over his face featureless apart from the hourglass design etched into it, wearing a rather ragged duster & with a large SMG in either hand]Djinn [some blurred footage of a sandstorm appears - but Jefferies explains that they haven't got any decent pictures of this Elite newcomer]Eblis [a man made of fire swoops down towards a US tank in some Arabic country. Bullets from the tank crew pass right through him, but the bolt of fire he flings in return explodes violently - blowing the crew to little flaming chunks. Landing on the tank itself a sword of fire appears in his hands, with which he proceeds to slice the vehicle open]Epoch [the DeVries number two killer's footage shows him in an all-black eufiber bodysuit, with matching long black cloak, & a featureless white mask over his face, hovering in the air. With a simple gesture another masked Elite - a heavily muscled & bare-chested guy - is lifted into the air. Moments later the guy convulses, then twists, as his body is crushed]Gunslinger [the man on the screen looks like he should be in an old Clint Eastwood film - stetson, duster, spurs, & a kerchief over his face. He fast-draws a pair of antique-looking Colts, with which he perforates an Armoured Personnel Carrier]Hannibal [jet black skin, long stark white hair, & all-white eyes make this guy unmistakable as he rises into the air, in the centre of a hurricane, lightning crackling around him]Maelfius [some recognise the twisting, warped, space & strange bubbles of distortion that surround the rookie DeVries Elite]Magda [a translucent golden glow surrounds this attractive Arabic woman, as similar fields of force are seen to surround & lift the vehicles & men of an entire military convoy]One Man Army [at first glance the footage appears to show a squad of musclebound US Marine types - but closer inspection reveals that each bald bodybuilder has the same face, just different markings on their gear. Several of the 'squad' are firing BFGs...]Swarm [a huge cloud of insects swirls together in a vortex, forming into the giant figure of a man - which proceeds to stomp on some military-looking buildings]Tank [the large Mongolian is clad in a steel-grey eufiber bodysuit & hood, with equipment & weapon belts strung over his big frame. There's an explosion as an artillery shell bursts - with little effect - across his chest]Wasp [the footage is the same as that for Swarm, but focuses in to a tiny blur by the big guy's head. Several digital filters are applied, & the blur becomes the figure of a tiny, insect-winged, black & yellow woman]Zayid al-Shaali [a man with a massively muscled chest & arms, flaming halo, & wings of fire swoops over a battlefield, lobbing blasts of flame as he goes]AgainstAlloy, Dark Matter, Evil Twin, Jetstream, Jolt, Lodestone, The Major, Mojo, Samurai, Shockwave, Thor,Thuderbolt, Tötentanz, Verse, Zombie.

knave Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 In my considered opinion - so far we're basically being 0wn3d by these guys.1) We got their rookie - but that rookie created a distraction that lost us our best tactician. So they basically grabbed the initiative there. Not to mention that that rookie nearly killed at least one more of us.2) 3 out in 1 hit from basilisk... and the fall may actually kill two of them.3) Thunderbolt v Magda. Sorry mate, but isn't she supposed to be one of their top Novas? ::crazy Specializing in Force Fields no less!I guess we just have to hope Totentanz helps us out a bit here and there... ::tongue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Just to make sure, I'd like to clarify something. Do the other Elites even know what happened to Samurai? The only ones there were Alloy, Samurai and Decay. Alloy hasn't told any Elites about it, and unless pressed, he's not going to tell his handlers either; he assumes Decay told the DVNTS chain of command already.I imagine DVNTS upper crust wouldn't want that kind of story getting around either, even in their own camp. Gossip is bad for business.And, I didn't see anything in Prof's news posts about footage or stories indicating Alloy supposedly killing Samurai, which supports my assumption about DVNTS keeping it quiet.

ProfPotts Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 No footage of the deed itself, but the general story is known: i.e. The Samurai vanished in a time-related effect caused by Decay's powers. That's why he's, technically, MIA not KIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Green Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I'm assuming that Alex knows that Alloy & Samuria went out, and Decay and Alloy came back with the latter unmasked. Further, Samuria is MIA.From there Alex jumps to one or more of the following assumptions:1) Alloy saw Decay kill or almost kill Samuria (perhaps Samuria leaped in front of a death beam, perhaps it was more outright, perhaps Alloy surendered and then Samuria refused and was put down).2) Samuria might have gone AWOL rather than be defeated (he seemed to care more than was healthy about this).3) Samuria might have raped Bask and might have fled rather than face sanctions and dishonor (I don't know whether or not Bask is/was a DVNTS member).4) Alloy and Samuria go out, they get seperated, no one really knows.5) After that we get into the really weird. Accident, interfearance by outside force (Teragen, something else), Taint overload, Warp gate appears and Samuria goes through, etc.The most likely is some varient on #1, with Decay not wanting Samuria on his record for some reason, or perhaps the body was not recovered (he's zapped and goes over a cliff).

ProfPotts Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (I don't know whether or not Bask is/was a DVNTS member).Basilisk isn't, & never was, a DVNTS Elite - she's an 'independant'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I guess I was really asking if it was public knowledge that Alloy tossed Samurai into said time-related effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfPotts Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Nope - not public knowledge, although if he didn't say anything then, yes, Decay certainly would have mentioned it to his DVNTS rep'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
