Lexiel, still confused and disoriented, follows the Bullet to wherever he is going. He can see, so he probably has a better idea of what the heck is going on than she does. -
Team Quiet Sachi begins her descent, and when she does not encounter danger, the others follow her. As the group proceeds downwards, music begins playing, softly at first, but growing louder. None of you recognise it, though, because Isobel and LOTUS are from the nonspecific spacefuture, Wyvis doesn't really know what a movie is, and Sachi is from a post-apocalyptic setting where lots of things have been lost. Thus, it comes as a complete surprise to you all when a huge, spherical rock drops into the stairwell behind you and starts rolling downhill. The three heroes sprint for the bottom. Isobel's endurance and coordination fail her (str 5 vs 24) and Wyvis trips on the tight stairs (str 4 vs 13) but both times Sachi is able to pull them upright before they are crushed (str 19 vs 7) and the entire group dives to safety just before the boulder slams into the door-frame, neatly plugging it. The group finds themselves in a large, open room filled with towers of electronics, covered in blinking lights. A terminal at the far end of the room includes numerous screens, a keyboard, and a battery of USB ports. You could probably get the data you need from here, and it looks like Sombra hasn't gotten in yet. While the doorway is plugged, there is an elevator shaft leading upwards, one that does not correspond to the public lift. You might be able to use this or climb the shaft to get out.
-
Team Quiet Isobel and LOTUS carefully search the lobby, and eventually (int 19 vs 18) discover a hidden door. LOTUS is able to crack the lock, revealing a tight spiral staircase that leads up and down.
-
Team Quiet Isobel and LOTUS check the lobby for cameras. They find several, but the devices do not seem to be receiving power. A cheery, yellow sticky note attached to one of them helpfully suggests that somebody ought to check if the Deep Ones have been chewing on the power cables again. Everyone recieves Kagari's radio message. Wyvis doesn't find any maps or signs. It seems that if you don't know how to get somewhere, Vishkar assumes you aren't authorized to be there. However, the elevator responds to the buttons, and soon arrives at the ground floor, doors gaping invitingly. Team Ninja Kagari discovers that she is in a chemistry lab, where Vishkar seems to be experimenting with replicating plastics through hard-light technology. A cursory examination of the scientists notebooks left behind gives her some interesting information. There are numerous references to "Project Snowball", "Project Raptora", "Project Stopwatch", and "Project Bulwark" being worked on in the military R&D labs two floors down. Since Kagari knows from the briefing that the military R&D labs are on the 30th floor, she now knows she ended up on floor 32. She also now knows that there are four active projects down there for the team to loot.

"Heeeelp meeeee!" Harbin suggests from his basement abode, "My food supplies are withering! I must escape or return to the nourishing darkness!"

Friedhold's statements get some disturbed looks, until he explains what he's actually planning. He is then directed to a slaughterhouse where he collects 4 Adam through the power of quantity over quality. He is also able to clean up. Once everything is prepared, the group gets into position as darkness falls, and begins the infiltration. Team Quiet (Isobel, Wyvis, and Sachi) The ground floor team gets in with no problems. How? The guards are missing for some reason... Regardless, you have a public elevator shaft, some stairs, and a mysteriously empty lobby to work with. Team Ninja (Kagari and Genji) Kagari slips into the pipes with the flash drive, without being detected as far as she can tell. She swims deep into the facility, heading down as far as she can manage, assuming that this will let her out close to the basement. Unfortunately for her, as she starts to head down, she runs into what she can only assume is a security feature, if a bizarre one. No alarms go off, and she isn't hurt in any way, but she experiences a sudden bout of disorientation that would have left her quite seasick if she had internal organs. Unable to figure out which way is 'down', Kagari follows the strongest currents, for lack of a better idea, and comes out of a sink in some kind of chemistry lab. She doesn't know exactly what floor she's on, but the view out the windows suggests she's closer to the top than the bottom. Elsewhere in the tower, a couple guards mysteriously fall off a balcony for no discernible reason. Team Loud (Friedhold, Ana, Hikari, Bridgett, Nyahiro, and Venus) The top team sneaks into Vishkar's airfield, where Ana and Nyahiro easily and quietly fork or dart any guards that get in the way as you approach a refueling helicopter. Once there, Friedhold and Venus dispatch the pilot, gunner, and crew. Friedhold's Little Sister is able to harvest another 2 Adam from the bodies before you take off. Unfortunately for you, as you approach the building, the other helicopters, alerted by somebody you missed at the airfield, are ready to intercept. Forewarned and prepared to deal with helicopters, Bridgett is able to down one with her Valkyrie Breaker spell. Hikari drops a second with a clutch Helix Rocket that shreds the machine's tail rotor with a lucky shot. Unfortunately, that leaves one helicopter. On the bright side, it does buy you enough time to reach the rooftop and spread out, ready to deal with the war machine. Ana knows how to fly a helicopter, but she admits that she's no combat pilot. Combat Time! Bring that chopper down!

Lexiel is disoriented a bit by all the noise and her allies fleeing in all directions, but follows the loudest of the fleeing PCs to the best of her ability.
-
Lexiel sighs heavily. "And straight to the lethal force they go. Is nobody around here civilized?" She pulls two goblins out of the aether and chucks one at each goon. Assuming they aren't somehow intercepted, each goblin latches onto a goon's head and starts biting and scratching at them. "You two, get those guys. Halley, Bullet, Visrii, we're leaving before someone else dangerous shows up."
-
"Urza's bones, are you serious? Did you not see the explosion from that bomb? The one your boss planted on the building you were in?" Lexiel asks reasonably, "You should probably go home and rethink how you perform background checks on your future employers. That guy didn't deserve your loyalty. He tried to kill you for no reason at all!"
-
Lexiel sets up a standard Izzet explosion containment ward, aimed at the Austrian guy as he flees into the distance. She then attempts to set the bomb off by dropping a meteorite on it with her Comet Storm spell.
-
Lexiel wasn't exactly thrilled with her choices. Being on the ground against a flying enemy was bad. And he was tough enough that she'd need high cost spells to stand much of a chance. But, he'd also managed to react faster than she could, and was somehow able to engage the entire group at once. Her only option seemed to be to buy time, set up, and hope to bury him in summons. Lexiel uses Lightning Helix on him again, healing herself.
-
"If you're not going to be useful like civilized peons, could you at least close the door?" Harbin asks after several hours of nobody caring, "The mushrooms that are my only form of sustenance down here will wither in the harsh light of the day, and then I shall most assuredly perish!"
-
Alexandria deploys her Hard-Light Barrier and starts taunting enemies close for the other party members to dispatch. Better to prepare for a long slog; bug hunts always take a while.
-
"You fly like a turtle," Lexiel informs the Austrian terrorist, backwinging out of reach. She fires a Lightning Helix at him, hoping the electricity will short out his jetpack. The healing is directed at Halley.
-
A bomb! Not good. Lexiel decides that her best option is probably to neutralize the bomber first, since she doesn't know how good her new weapon is against inanimate objects. So she attempts to shoot him in the back with the narcojet rifle.
-
"Urza's Bones!" Lexiel exclaims, reflexively covering the room with her new gun as she scans for dangers, "What just- Did somebody drop the elevator? That sounded like some kind of pulse weapon! Do you guys sell those here? Son of a drekavec!" Lexiel summons a pair of goblins, and orders them to make some noise if somebody hostile shows. Then she runs out the door and flies up toward the roof, hoping for an alternative way into the upper floors.
-
"It is possible," Genji says, "Ana is certified to fly a helicopter. But we do not know the explosive yield of the rockets. They might not penetrate deep enough. Or they might cause serious structural damage to the tower. However, if you could somehow get one of them inside the barracks and set it off, that would eliminate the guards inside while containing the blast with the barracks walls, which are thicker and tougher than most of building."
-
"Okay, so maybe I don't know a flight spell. Yet," Harbin admits, after several hours of attempting to cast one, "I promise I'll spare whoever throws me a rope or a ladder or something all but a token amount of wrath!"
-
"If you hit the barracks on the third floor first, and somehow incapacitated or trapped the guards inside, that would greatly increase their response time," Genji suggests, "Then even if you had to destroy turrets and raise alarms, you could accomplish your goals before Vishkar's forces arrived if you were disciplined and swift."

Lexiel checks her funds after trading the weeblord whip in, and hands over the necessary currency. "Weight isn't much of a concern for me. I'll take the chain knife," One of the few genuine benefits of being an Archangel is that weapons and armor have a way of making themselves easier to use in her hands. "Thank you for sharing your expertise, good sir. "Well, Bullet, the big obstacle is that he's the only one of us, here you included, with DNA for the security system to recognize. Thus, he's the only one who can be given a valid ID to pass through it."

Pokemon in Space [IC Chapter #03]
DragonRage replied to Bfroger6's topic in Unofficial Official RP Club's General
Taylor considers Zeta's words for a few moments. "That is a good question. Based on my studies of Pokemon, parents are individuals who raise and teach a young child. I do not have personal experience with the concept, but I understand that most of my fellow cadets do." -
"We are investigating some sort of neo-Aztech cult that we believe to be engaging in human sacrifice. They wish to summon an Eldrazi or some other destructive entity with dark rituals," Lexiel shares quietly, "We're purchasing equipment, mostly for our designated scout, but also for the rest of us. Unfortunately, our most skilled infiltrators have... medical conditions that keep them from passing through the cultists security measures, which will make things challenging." By most skilled, she means everybody but Visrii, naturally. She then turns to the shopkeeper. "Looks good, but I do believe I want a bayonet for this. What are my options?"
-
"Hello. I'm Lexiel. Pleasure to meet you. It seems there's been a lot of interplanar teleportation recently; the boundaries between the worlds are getting thin," Lexiel shares, smiling warmly, "Unfortunately, I couldn't say how to get you back to your world. I could go there myself, and bring a message, but Planeswalking doesn't allow for passengers. A lot of my associates are in the same situation. Somebody's been calling people from all over the multiverse to fight against the Eldrazi, world-eating creatures from the space between universes, and they are among that number. We do have a vehicle that can travel between worlds, though. Once we complete our business here we could help you get back to your native plane, assuming you don't wish to join our little crusade. Unfortunately, I have never been to this plane before. I don't know what it is called. I believe we are in the city of Seattle, though. Uh, you wouldn't happen to have a name, sir?"
-
"Hm. You are good. That Narcojet rifle sounds very useful. Can I get a bayonet on that? Something with real punch to it, in case tranqs or nonlethals aren't cutting it? Should probably get a deadly sidearm, too," Lexiel presents her Nuyen stick, with the 1200 Nuyen of shopping currency she got from Halley and looting, as well as the monofilament whip. "If I don't have enough local currency for what I want, can I get some trade-in value for this? It doesn't seem like a very practical weapon, but there's always somebody willing to pay premium for fancy over reliable."
