Rescue Mission Go! Uidry Finale 01/26/12
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 4:19 pm
<@Sisip> With the setup all .. well .. set up the injin moves over to Jack and kisses his cheek before she moves back to one of the tables and ... climbs up onto it? No, she isn't about to dance, she just wants to make sure that she can see everyone and they can see her.
<Holtzmann> Drumstickception.
<Brad> BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR
<Brad> And then everyone quiets down, except for Nick's incessant cow-like chewing.
<Suzthulhu> Gina considers tossing some bills at Sisip. Kidding. When she sees the injin woman climb up onto the table, she stops pacing and turns, cocking her hips out to the side and paying attention.
<Vileficent> Nicholas returns shortly from his quick trip to the housing units with the ZORT gun he'd stolen from the alien previously. The heated jacket is gone, left at home, leaving him in the long sleeved shirt, jeans and shoes. No fancy pants on a mission. He settles down on the bench he'd been milling around on before and looks up at Sisip, waiting on her to talk.
* [Tremor] looks up as Sisip climbs up on the table. He zips up the duffle and stands there, hands in his pockets. He spots Nick walking back over with an alien weapon and ups a brow before turning his attenion back to the injin on the table.
<Brad> Tony stops and turns as well, glowing eyes locked on Sisip as she looks like she's prepared to give her Bill Pullman speech. Quentin crosses his massive arms over his chest, eyes narrowed, waiting for whatever is about to happen. He doesn't care what, so long as he gets to kill as many of the Uidry as he can. AND THAT IS A LOT.
<Holtzmann> Felipe shows up at the entrance, curious about the gathering. He's wearing extra beat-up looking clothes and is carrying something wrapped in cloth on a strap across his back.
<@Jeemothy> Jack folds his arms across his chest as Sisip climbs up onto the table. Jack's suit is very... ninja-like, a deep blue, nearly black tone with light ceramic plating along his forearms, shins, thighs, etc, with a hood, that is currently pulled back behind his neck. He's got an honest to goodness utility belt, and a holstered handgun at his side.
* Fuzed moves ina little as Sisip takes her platform, making sure he is close enough to listen. Eyes glance around at everyone gathered. Quite the group they had in order to take on the aliens..he hoped it was enough, and that he would be of some help
<Krys_Gallagher> She turned her attention to Sisip, taking a deep breath. It was game time.
<MarloCross> Marlo soon finds himself stiding out into the courtyard...and It seemed to be the best time for it..as Sisip was standing on a table counting heads....
* AnE|Away is now known as AnE
* MarloCross (MarloCross@e3e1374d.maine.res.14056255.com.hmsk) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Marlo)))
<@AnE> Speaking of heads, Seven's melted into view, half-lidded eyes glancing around thoughtfully. When had she appeared? When'd she get there? Was she some kind of mondo-invisible stalkermabob? Not really, no. But she was exceptionally good at not being noticed after all. Not being a team member, she lacked a team uniform, but did have the gear she used during 'work', matte black and skintight
<@AnE> with an amount of thick protective plating in important areas. In her left, gloved hand, she carried her new black bow, a silver '7' painted on one of its broader areas, a white blade with a handle wrapped in electrical tape strapped to her thigh. She'd give a totally unofficial salute to those present, white hair tied back into a ponytail and black bandana wrapped around her head.

<@Sisip> The catsuited indian woman lets her dark eyes slide over the group as she purses her lips. Below her, on the tables, are bandoliers with cannisters in them, rebreathers, transmitters, com units, and a wide display of weaponry, quite a bit of it modified to be lethal, though the firearms are set off to the side for obvious 'handed out specially' reasons. "Alright everyone! Listen up!" The woman raises her voice over the group even if they fell silent. "There will be two teams. We need volunteers for retrieval and volunteers for storming the bridge and disabling it. Neither one will be easy. You will each get two bandoliers with a toxin designed to eat into the flesh of the Uidry, you will take one rebreather for your own use and three others to be attached to the bandoliers for the hostages. You will receive one comm unit and one transmitter that has a recon map in it obtained by Gina." She pauses a moment, "Now, hands up those who volunteer to disable the bridge as Team One."
<Brad> Quentin raises his hand SO HARD.
<Suzthulhu> Gina considers for a minute; storming the bridge meant the need for force, and she's pretty good at that. She raises her hand as well and nods. "Yep."
<Krys_Gallagher> Up went her hand. Electricity cut the aliens down and that she had in abundance.
<Vileficent> Nicholas glances around, eyes the weaponry on the table and eyes the people volunteering. Fuck he doesn't know. He leans forward some, figuring the team actually doing the fighting needs a medic but doesn't raise his hand to join that team. F yo action.
<MarloCross> Marlo looked around, confused. He wasn't sure what he was meant for. But, It obviously more violent. His hand went up. He wanted to break some one. But, there was a look of uncertanty in his face as he looked at Sisip. Is this the right place. Now that he was about to get his fight, he was unsure.
* [Tremor] thinks a moment on what team he could provide the most support. His first impulse was to join the bridge team, but seeing Quentin and others going for team one he thinks better of it. Any team with Quentin didn't need a demolitionist, they already -had- a wrecking ball. He keeps his hand down and waits.
* @Shannon she didn't like it, but her powers were needed for bridge storming, and with any luck the only trigger happy lunatic would be Quentin. She moved up to grab a bandolier and the other equipment. Kevin would be going to the hostages as he's none too good in a battle condition especialy in his suit - he wouldn't even have the ability to dazzle the aliens with scary colors. But breathing
* @Shannon was much preferred over anything else. Oh and in repsonse to earlier. "Thanks for the patch kit, Trem." The squidman could still talk in the suit! Special add-on.
<Ahriman> Fergus finally wanders in, dressed to the nines in his suit. The suit itself was the same as everyone else's; what set it apart was his brand new tactical backpack. All the extra ammo pockets he needed were on the padded shoulder straps, with a few extra pouches on the waist straps. The zippers were moved for easier reach and access, and had a hard shell to protect his back from unseen
<Ahriman> aggressors. His hair was gathered and held back with a ribbon, his trusty knit cap also in place to keep his hair tamed. Goggles were set just over the cap on his forehead, ready to be moved into place. As he approached, he wedged an earpiece into place. "I miss anything yet?"
<@Jeemothy> Jack raises his hand for team one.
<Suzthulhu> Gina glances over at Fergus and smirks. "Yeah. If you want to storm the castle, raise your hand and let Sisip know. If you want to help on the rescue team, stand by. I think they could use some help for sure." Most of the heavy hitters had already volunteered to go bridge smashing.
<@Sisip> Sisip watches Marlo for a moment, surprised by his choice but not arguing. She trusted in people knowing where they wanted to be the most, "I can promise you, there will be no lack of aliens for anyone. Word has it we could face a force of thousands. Team One will head to the bridge, Team Two will be in charge of saving our people. The bridge? We know where that is, it will be indicated on your equipment. Team two? You get to run around and find our folks, then get them to where they have the eggs. Each egg should hold one person a piece. Give them a rebreather, shove them in the egg and hope to god there's an exit. If not? Make sure everyone is in one and then cut your way out."
<Holtzmann> Metalhead briefly considers volunteering for Team One, for the sake of generating massive amounts of alien carnage... but he's made a promise he'll be damned if he doesn't keep it. Gotta rescue some folks, and there'd probably be still quite a lot of resistance in the way, so it's Team Two for this high-explosive big boy. His hand goes up, then moves to tie the black bandanna around his head. Alien guts would be hell to get off his h
<Vileficent> Nick nods and quietly sighs. His shoulders fall and he massages his temples, waiting to be told to collect his items and get ready for transport.
<Brad> “Team two here.” Tony raises his hand, albeit it a little hesitantly. He looks over to Gina for a moment, maybe for validation, or reassurance, he doesn’t really know. Then he looks back at Sisip. Honestly, he looks scared, but determined all the same.
* Ahriman (Teg@b51a44cf.hsd1.mi.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) Quit
<Fuzed> "I'll go on the rescue team as well Sisip!" he may be a full arsenel of hand to hand weapons, but with lack of carnage experiance he decided to be back up for those doing the rescuing.
* [Tremor] raises his hand for team two. He was fast and could cut through walls in a pinch. That and he promised Ash he'd help everyone get back. He aimed to make it true. "Team two Sisip." is all he says.
<Edwin> Eddie was likewise volunteering for the search and rescue mission, since he thought his skills were better suited to that sort of mission than storming the bridge by force. He didn't really have the skillset to cause destruction on a large scale, so he left disabling the shipfish's controls to the better qualified. Plus, in his spider form, his sense of smell was far more sensitive, and
<Edwin> he might be able to sniff out some of the captives.
<MarloCross> Marlo then raised his hand, looking ashamed," Is uh...It too late to switch?" Killing aliens rather than saving his girlfriend? That was NOT Cool. Marlo looked at Sisip," If Team two needs the brawn i'll switch."
<@AnE> Seven nodded, holding up a hand with two fingers, "Right. Two." Make an exit, hm? She looked around, then tapped her chin, that almost Grinch-like smile spreading across her face. That was something that she could help with, actually. Anywho, her expression went neutral, bow hoisted up and balanced on her shoulder, the other hand resting against her hip.
<Suzthulhu> Standing next to Tony, Gina reaches for his hand and gives it a squeeze. "Bring them home safe, babe. You'll be great in there. Just remember..." She stands up on her tiptoes and gives him a peck on the cheek, "You guys are a team, so rely on each other." She then steps over to the table to pick up a bandolier, strapping it on over her vest and adjusting it to make sure she can
<Suzthulhu> still reach all her pockets and move around freely. The vest looks like the Kevlar sort that SWAT teams use, with several pockets. She grabs a rebreather as well, for herself, and an extra one just in case.
<Brad> Tony heads to the table and picks up his bandoliers. Honestly, he's hoping not to have to use them. He picks up his rebreather and places it over his mouth, and straps the extras to his suit. "Well, that's about as prepared as I can get." He looks around, and clears his through. "So... they've got a pretty nice place up there? Let's go wreck it." He grins at everyone assembled.
<MarloCross> Marlo moved to his equipment, putting on the rebreather on and getting the rest ready on the bandolier. As he did so, he muttered to himself," I am a Storm. I rage on and on Untill the imbalance that created me is gone. And Then I will rest untill the next one comes to remind me that I am a Storm, I rage on and on...." It was his Mantra. The Crippler Words were spoken as he
<MarloCross> fastened the old helmet to his face. JJ hadn't finished the new one yet.
* Fuzed walks over to the table and pulls off his hoodie, an under armor tank (black or course) under it. He needed his hands to be free of anything that could catch on his blades. Picking up and putting on his gear and strapped it on then looks around waiting for what was going to happen next.
<@Shannon> He was busy being abducted
<Brad> "Ooooookay." Tony says, backing the hell away from Marlo.

<Ph`Ahriman> "Team two," Fergus chimed in. He had no idea how soon they'd be leaving, so to be safe, he retrieved his weaponry now. One modified paintball pistol, loaded with pepper powder-filled markers, and one .40 caliber S&W pistol. And now he plays the waiting game.

* Holtzmann is now known as Metalhead
* [Tremor] walks over to the table and grabs a bandolier, looking at it over real quick before strapping it on and getting the rebreathers and other gear to add to his duffle bag. He hefts the thing onto his shoulder and looks up at Sisip.
* JacksonFive is now known as Jack
* Jack is now known as Jackson
<Ph`Ahriman> "Er... one," he corrected.
<@Sisip> People are handed the appropriate amount of items and the injin gives a bit of a nod, "This is not going to be easy. This is not going to be fun. It's going to be a lot of fighting in hallways. Fast, frantic and furious, against a species that thinks in unison. Fergus? You've got full permission for any weaponry you need. We have a green light for lethal conduct. We want one. ONE single Uidry returned alive. I don't care how you do this, if we need to heal him when he gets here we will do that."
<MarloCross> Crippler stops talking and reaches tohis pocket, pulling Pi out. " You. Stay attached to my collar. Stay behind me and you'll be fine. Understand?" His voice was cold.
* Simarilius`Grey (Simarilius@b4ac1349.hsd1.pa.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) has joined #Cobalt*Hill
<Ph`Ahriman> Fergus cursed under his breath. A greenlight for heavier weapons, and he was entirely unprepared. "I have time to snag a rifle and some rounds?" He had to at least check. Now he felt like he'd be underdressed without it.
<Gina_Stone> "Marlo... are you charged?" She finishes adjusting everything and pulls her goggles down, glancing over at Marlo with a raised eyebrow.
<Crusader> "Then keep the one you wish to remain standing away from me." Quentin says, rather bluntly.
* Spectrum (Brad@836026b1.sc.res.14056255.com.hmsk) has joined #Cobalt*Hill
<Metalhead> Felipe puts on the bandolier and other necessary gear, declining to wear any extra equipment. With his detonations being so short-ranged, too much armored bulk would hamper his effectiveness. He cracks his gloved knuckles. "Alright, kill 'em all but one. Sounds just fine to me."
<Nicholas`> Nick gets his equipment on and ready to go, the alien ZORT gun held at his side. His rebreather isn't put on, of course, but carried along with him as a spare for someone who might need it, or for another rescued person. He quietly waits around for further orders like a good peon.
<MarloCross> He looked asside to Gina and shook his head," No. I want to go in full for this. As Much as you and Sisip can pile into me, I'll hold. I'm not holding back." Black eyes shown serious through the helmet, as he stood holding Pi In his hand.
<@Sisip> Once all the transmitters are handed out Sisip holds up what looks to be a remote. "I will not be going with you. You will be expected to work as a team. Quentin, again, anyone on our side is not to be hurt. ONLY aliens and the ship." Her voice gets hard as she stares at the ghost. "Once you are up there I will not be able to hear you, our coms are not strong enough for this distance. You will be on your own." She doesn't want to scare anyone but she certainly won't lie to them. "Once you are back down on the ground you will all report to medical. They you will spend the night in decontamination and healed if you are hurt. This is non negotiable."
<@Jackson> Jack actually pats Nick's shoulder, "Good luck, Nick," said quietly as he makes his way over to Sisip, leaning in to kiss her forehead gently - when she isn't talking - before he moves to be with Team Uno.
<@Jackson> Seven also gets a forehead kiss because her last name's Sterling mothafucka.
<Krys_Gallagher> It was time. She fit her goggles into place, adjusting the bandolier across her chest, ensuring it was secure. No turning back now. Tremors gift of teh car battery was at her feet and she bent down to lift it up, fitting it into a backpack then slipping that on. Left her both hands free and she could get it out when needed. AT least it wasn't from Gains' car. "Alright. Lets get
<Krys_Gallagher> this done." She glanced to Quentin and that huuuuuuuge sword, knowing they'd all have to be carefula round the knight once he started his "cleansing."
* [Tremor] smirks as he half listens. They had run the simulation a few times by now. A basic map had been drawn up based on Gina's notes and Seven and Nick's descriptions. It was one of the more vauge maps he had ever seen, but he had an idea of where some likely holding areas might be. Tremor glances around to watch the others prepare in their own way. Then Sisip mentions decontamination
* [Tremor] and he sighs, "Aw damn."
<Edwin> Well, he wouldn't be able to go full spider and keep the rebreather on, so it was hybrid mode for him. He takes the equipment and slings a bandolier on, and then straps a rebreather on over his lower face. He steps back away from the others to give himself room to transform, and stretches his arms out wide. Skin stretches and bulges at his sides until a second pair of hands force themselves
<Edwin> out, and grab hold of his existing arms and get leverage to pull themselves all the way out. A pair of black, furry spider limbs tipped with a pair of curved claws burst from his shoulderblades, then fold over his shoulders and grab his belt so it looked like he was wearing some sort of weird looking harnass. The skin at his temples and across his forehead blisters, then splits to reveal
<Edwin> six round, black arachnid eyes. He became a good six or eight inches taller, as his entire frame seemed to elongate, and his limbs became disporportionately long. He rejoins team two, folding both sets of arms across his chest while he waits to be beamed up.
<Gina_Stone> She half grins and gives her head a twist. "Alright. You asked for it." She pulls Marlo aside, away from the crowd, and then backs up a step or two. Balling her hands into fists, she lets him have it in a total HADOUKEN move, double fist to the chest, fully powered with her second self. On a normal body, it would be enough to break ribs and knock someone on their ass, but Marlo can
<Gina_Stone> take it. She turns her attention to Sisip immediately after, since she'd started speaking again.
<Crusader> "Again, I am not responsible for their idiocy." The templar growls, voice echoing around those present. He cuts a glance to the other members of this 'team one' as if to accentuate the point.
<Nicholas`> A warm smile is flashed at Jack. The pat actually does some good, helping the zombie relax a bit. "Same to you, man. I'll have to get someone else to watch my back." He manages a weak laugh and stands, free hand ducking into a pocket of his jeans. He quietly sighs and heads towards the group, coming to a stop next to the others in team two.
<Metalhead> "Eddie, remind me to tell you just how badass that form looks when we get back."
* Fuzed looks at Quentin..gulps a bit. He was REALLY glad he was on the other team now. Figuring it was better to go in already shifted he places a finger from each hand on the platinum ring hanging from his neck, and with a creepy fluidity his arms shift to a living version of the matter, from finger tips to just above the elbow. He looks to see if team two is gather in one place and
* Fuzed would move to stand near them
<@Seven> Seven went about fastening a communicator and so on and so forth, slinging on the bandolier and grabbing the rebreather. "Got it." Before splitting up into their respective teams, she'd shuffle over to give Jack a sisterly fistbump of justice following the forehead kiss (FUCK YEAH STERLING), check her arrows, and tighten her bandana. Sisip was going to be down below? How big was
<@Seven> the distance? Oh, right, space. She looked over at Eddie, did a doubletake, derped, then nodded. Watching backs. That's what she'd be doing.
* [Tremor] looks to Eddie and smirks, "Good thing they didn't give you a space suit eh?"
<MarloCross> THe Sweet kiss of Kinetic energy filled him. It was electric. He could feel his cells trembling as they held what could be a fireless explosion in his body. He couldn't help but take a deep sigh in. He could take more, or atleast he thought. He waited for Sisip to finish, hoping to get a hurricane inside him. While he waited, He headed over to Eddie, and tapped him on the shoulder.
<Spectrum> Tony takes this moment of calm to step over to Gina and give her a quick kiss on the cheek. "See you on the other side, babe." He grins, and winks at her, then steps away to readjust his bandoliers of toxic gas, or whatever the hell these things are. This is not what Tony came to Salem for, but fuckedupedness is the mother of all heroism, or so someone probably never said.

* @Shannon She was ready for this, the blue and black armor was freshly cleaned, inspected, taken apart and put back together, everything. Hand blasters were at slightly below power she used for concussive fights, hopefully it would strike the Uidry down but not make them explode in a puff of goo. Bandeliers were worn, rebreathers attached, com too. She was late in deciding she would do this
* @Shannon but she knew what they were up against. She was with Team One. Kevin, another lucky one who wouldn't need a personal rebreather - since well his wetsuit was one giant breathing aparatus. He too geared up, and headed for Team Two, his powerset better for rescue than for massive combat. Especially considering that the suit that enabled him to safely breath up there inhibited him from using
* @Shannon any other powers.
<@Sisip> Sisip, serious as anyone has ever seen her, looks at the group. "God speed, people. Come home to us." There's not much she can say. Everyone was outfitted with the toxin, transmitters, weapons, a map and rebreathers. It was all she could do for them. "Transport in ... 5... 4... 3... 2.... 1..." She presses the button, her eyes on Jack all the while. It takes a moment or so before almost at once people disappear from the courtyard and appear .... elsewhere. | The air is disgustingly humid as the group appears in a the 'belly of the beast'. The room is wide and spacious, big enough for quite a grouping of bodies! Perhaps it's the walls themselves but there is a definate light, always nice not to be plunged into darkness. A large machine off to the side beeps and dings quietly, the room lit by some unseen source. There are three Uidry at the controls, burbling to each other before one of them looks over at the group then away again. An almost comical double take is given as it realizes that what they had just beamed on board was not, in fact, their brothers but rather ... potential slaves! --- FROM HERE ON OUT PLEASE RESPOND IN YOUR TEAM ROOMS ----

All the extra ammo pockets he needed were on the padded shoulder straps, with a few extra pouches on the waist straps. The zippers were moved for easier reach and access, and had a hard shell to protect his back from unseen
<Ahriman> aggressors. His hair was gathered and held back with a ribbon, his trusty knit cap also in place to keep his hair tamed. Goggles were set just over the cap on his forehead, ready to be moved into place. As he approached, he wedged an earpiece into place. "I miss anything yet?"

<Suzthulhu> Gina glances over at Fergus and smirks. "Yeah. If you want to storm the castle, raise your hand and let Sisip know. If you want to help on the rescue team, stand by. I think they could use some help for sure." Most of the heavy hitters had already volunteered to go bridge smashing.
<@Sisip> Sisip watches Marlo for a moment, surprised by his choice but not arguing. She trusted in people knowing where they wanted to be the most, "I can promise you, there will be no lack of aliens for anyone. Word has it we could face a force of thousands. Team One will head to the bridge, Team Two will be in charge of saving our people. The bridge? We know where that is, it will be indicated on your equipment. Team two? You get to run around and find our folks, then get them to where they have the eggs. Each egg should hold one person a piece. Give them a rebreather, shove them in the egg and hope to god there's an exit. If not? Make sure everyone is in one and then cut your way out."
<Holtzmann> Metalhead briefly considers volunteering for Team One, for the sake of generating massive amounts of alien carnage... but he's made a promise he'll be damned if he doesn't keep it. Gotta rescue some folks, and there'd probably be still quite a lot of resistance in the way, so it's Team Two for this high-explosive big boy. His hand goes up, then moves to tie the black bandanna around his head. Alien guts would be hell to get off his h
<Vileficent> Nick nods and quietly sighs. His shoulders fall and he massages his temples, waiting to be told to collect his items and get ready for transport.
<Brad> “Team two here.” Tony raises his hand, albeit it a little hesitantly. He looks over to Gina for a moment, maybe for validation, or reassurance, he doesn’t really know. Then he looks back at Sisip. Honestly, he looks scared, but determined all the same.
* Ahriman (Teg@b51a44cf.hsd1.mi.5aa6454b.net.hmsk) Quit
<Fuzed> "I'll go on the rescue team as well Sisip!" he may be a full arsenel of hand to hand weapons, but with lack of carnage experiance he decided to be back up for those doing the rescuing.
* [Tremor] raises his hand for team two. He was fast and could cut through walls in a pinch. That and he promised Ash he'd help everyone get back. He aimed to make it true. "Team two Sisip." is all he says.
<Edwin> Eddie was likewise volunteering for the search and rescue mission, since he thought his skills were better suited to that sort of mission than storming the bridge by force. He didn't really have the skillset to cause destruction on a large scale, so he left disabling the shipfish's controls to the better qualified. Plus, in his spider form, his sense of smell was far more sensitive, and
<Edwin> he might be able to sniff out some of the captives.
<MarloCross> Marlo then raised his hand, looking ashamed," Is uh...It too late to switch?" Killing aliens rather than saving his girlfriend? That was NOT Cool. Marlo looked at Sisip," If Team two needs the brawn i'll switch."
<@AnE> Seven nodded, holding up a hand with two fingers, "Right. Two." Make an exit, hm? She looked around, then tapped her chin, that almost Grinch-like smile spreading across her face. That was something that she could help with, actually. Anywho, her expression went neutral, bow hoisted up and balanced on her shoulder, the other hand resting against her hip.
<Suzthulhu> Standing next to Tony, Gina reaches for his hand and gives it a squeeze. "Bring them home safe, babe. You'll be great in there. Just remember..." She stands up on her tiptoes and gives him a peck on the cheek, "You guys are a team, so rely on each other." She then steps over to the table to pick up a bandolier, strapping it on over her vest and adjusting it to make sure she can
<Suzthulhu> still reach all her pockets and move around freely. The vest looks like the Kevlar sort that SWAT teams use, with several pockets. She grabs a rebreather as well, for herself, and an extra one just in case.
<Brad> Tony heads to the table and picks up his bandoliers. Honestly, he's hoping not to have to use them. He picks up his rebreather and places it over his mouth, and straps the extras to his suit. "Well, that's about as prepared as I can get." He looks around, and clears his through. "So... they've got a pretty nice place up there? Let's go wreck it." He grins at everyone assembled.
<MarloCross> Marlo moved to his equipment, putting on the rebreather on and getting the rest ready on the bandolier. As he did so, he muttered to himself," I am a Storm. I rage on and on Untill the imbalance that created me is gone. And Then I will rest untill the next one comes to remind me that I am a Storm, I rage on and on...." It was his Mantra. The Crippler Words were spoken as he
<MarloCross> fastened the old helmet to his face. JJ hadn't finished the new one yet.
* Fuzed walks over to the table and pulls off his hoodie, an under armor tank (black or course) under it. He needed his hands to be free of anything that could catch on his blades. Picking up and putting on his gear and strapped it on then looks around waiting for what was going to happen next.
<@Shannon> He was busy being abducted
<Brad> "Ooooookay." Tony says, backing the hell away from Marlo.

<Ph`Ahriman> "Team two," Fergus chimed in. He had no idea how soon they'd be leaving, so to be safe, he retrieved his weaponry now. One modified paintball pistol, loaded with pepper powder-filled markers, and one .40 caliber S&W pistol. And now he plays the waiting game.

* [Tremor] walks over to the table and grabs a bandolier, looking at it over real quick before strapping it on and getting the rebreathers and other gear to add to his duffle bag. He hefts the thing onto his shoulder and looks up at Sisip.
* JacksonFive is now known as Jack
* Jack is now known as Jackson
<Ph`Ahriman> "Er... one," he corrected.
<@Sisip> People are handed the appropriate amount of items and the injin gives a bit of a nod, "This is not going to be easy. This is not going to be fun. It's going to be a lot of fighting in hallways. Fast, frantic and furious, against a species that thinks in unison. Fergus? You've got full permission for any weaponry you need. We have a green light for lethal conduct. We want one. ONE single Uidry returned alive. I don't care how you do this, if we need to heal him when he gets here we will do that."
<MarloCross> Crippler stops talking and reaches tohis pocket, pulling Pi out. " You. Stay attached to my collar. Stay behind me and you'll be fine. Understand?" His voice was cold.

<Ph`Ahriman> Fergus cursed under his breath. A greenlight for heavier weapons, and he was entirely unprepared. "I have time to snag a rifle and some rounds?" He had to at least check. Now he felt like he'd be underdressed without it.
<Gina_Stone> "Marlo... are you charged?" She finishes adjusting everything and pulls her goggles down, glancing over at Marlo with a raised eyebrow.
<Crusader> "Then keep the one you wish to remain standing away from me." Quentin says, rather bluntly.
* Spectrum (Brad@836026b1.sc.res.14056255.com.hmsk) has joined #Cobalt*Hill
<Metalhead> Felipe puts on the bandolier and other necessary gear, declining to wear any extra equipment. With his detonations being so short-ranged, too much armored bulk would hamper his effectiveness. He cracks his gloved knuckles. "Alright, kill 'em all but one. Sounds just fine to me."
<Nicholas`> Nick gets his equipment on and ready to go, the alien ZORT gun held at his side. His rebreather isn't put on, of course, but carried along with him as a spare for someone who might need it, or for another rescued person. He quietly waits around for further orders like a good peon.
<MarloCross> He looked asside to Gina and shook his head," No. I want to go in full for this. As Much as you and Sisip can pile into me, I'll hold. I'm not holding back." Black eyes shown serious through the helmet, as he stood holding Pi In his hand.
<@Sisip> Once all the transmitters are handed out Sisip holds up what looks to be a remote. "I will not be going with you. You will be expected to work as a team. Quentin, again, anyone on our side is not to be hurt. ONLY aliens and the ship." Her voice gets hard as she stares at the ghost. "Once you are up there I will not be able to hear you, our coms are not strong enough for this distance. You will be on your own." She doesn't want to scare anyone but she certainly won't lie to them. "Once you are back down on the ground you will all report to medical. They you will spend the night in decontamination and healed if you are hurt. This is non negotiable."
<@Jackson> Jack actually pats Nick's shoulder, "Good luck, Nick," said quietly as he makes his way over to Sisip, leaning in to kiss her forehead gently - when she isn't talking - before he moves to be with Team Uno.
<@Jackson> Seven also gets a forehead kiss because her last name's Sterling mothafucka.
<Krys_Gallagher> It was time. She fit her goggles into place, adjusting the bandolier across her chest, ensuring it was secure. No turning back now. Tremors gift of teh car battery was at her feet and she bent down to lift it up, fitting it into a backpack then slipping that on. Left her both hands free and she could get it out when needed. AT least it wasn't from Gains' car. "Alright. Lets get
<Krys_Gallagher> this done." She glanced to Quentin and that huuuuuuuge sword, knowing they'd all have to be carefula round the knight once he started his "cleansing."
* [Tremor] smirks as he half listens. They had run the simulation a few times by now. A basic map had been drawn up based on Gina's notes and Seven and Nick's descriptions. It was one of the more vauge maps he had ever seen, but he had an idea of where some likely holding areas might be. Tremor glances around to watch the others prepare in their own way. Then Sisip mentions decontamination
* [Tremor] and he sighs, "Aw damn."
<Edwin> Well, he wouldn't be able to go full spider and keep the rebreather on, so it was hybrid mode for him. He takes the equipment and slings a bandolier on, and then straps a rebreather on over his lower face. He steps back away from the others to give himself room to transform, and stretches his arms out wide. Skin stretches and bulges at his sides until a second pair of hands force themselves
<Edwin> out, and grab hold of his existing arms and get leverage to pull themselves all the way out. A pair of black, furry spider limbs tipped with a pair of curved claws burst from his shoulderblades, then fold over his shoulders and grab his belt so it looked like he was wearing some sort of weird looking harnass. The skin at his temples and across his forehead blisters, then splits to reveal
<Edwin> six round, black arachnid eyes. He became a good six or eight inches taller, as his entire frame seemed to elongate, and his limbs became disporportionately long. He rejoins team two, folding both sets of arms across his chest while he waits to be beamed up.
<Gina_Stone> She half grins and gives her head a twist. "Alright. You asked for it." She pulls Marlo aside, away from the crowd, and then backs up a step or two. Balling her hands into fists, she lets him have it in a total HADOUKEN move, double fist to the chest, fully powered with her second self. On a normal body, it would be enough to break ribs and knock someone on their ass, but Marlo can
<Gina_Stone> take it. She turns her attention to Sisip immediately after, since she'd started speaking again.
<Crusader> "Again, I am not responsible for their idiocy." The templar growls, voice echoing around those present. He cuts a glance to the other members of this 'team one' as if to accentuate the point.
<Nicholas`> A warm smile is flashed at Jack. The pat actually does some good, helping the zombie relax a bit. "Same to you, man. I'll have to get someone else to watch my back." He manages a weak laugh and stands, free hand ducking into a pocket of his jeans. He quietly sighs and heads towards the group, coming to a stop next to the others in team two.
<Metalhead> "Eddie, remind me to tell you just how badass that form looks when we get back."
* Fuzed looks at Quentin..gulps a bit. He was REALLY glad he was on the other team now. Figuring it was better to go in already shifted he places a finger from each hand on the platinum ring hanging from his neck, and with a creepy fluidity his arms shift to a living version of the matter, from finger tips to just above the elbow. He looks to see if team two is gather in one place and
* Fuzed would move to stand near them
<@Seven> Seven went about fastening a communicator and so on and so forth, slinging on the bandolier and grabbing the rebreather. "Got it." Before splitting up into their respective teams, she'd shuffle over to give Jack a sisterly fistbump of justice following the forehead kiss (FUCK YEAH STERLING), check her arrows, and tighten her bandana. Sisip was going to be down below? How big was
<@Seven> the distance? Oh, right, space. She looked over at Eddie, did a doubletake, derped, then nodded. Watching backs. That's what she'd be doing.
* [Tremor] looks to Eddie and smirks, "Good thing they didn't give you a space suit eh?"
<MarloCross> THe Sweet kiss of Kinetic energy filled him. It was electric. He could feel his cells trembling as they held what could be a fireless explosion in his body. He couldn't help but take a deep sigh in. He could take more, or atleast he thought. He waited for Sisip to finish, hoping to get a hurricane inside him. While he waited, He headed over to Eddie, and tapped him on the shoulder.
<Spectrum> Tony takes this moment of calm to step over to Gina and give her a quick kiss on the cheek. "See you on the other side, babe." He grins, and winks at her, then steps away to readjust his bandoliers of toxic gas, or whatever the hell these things are. This is not what Tony came to Salem for, but fuckedupedness is the mother of all heroism, or so someone probably never said.

* @Shannon She was ready for this, the blue and black armor was freshly cleaned, inspected, taken apart and put back together, everything. Hand blasters were at slightly below power she used for concussive fights, hopefully it would strike the Uidry down but not make them explode in a puff of goo. Bandeliers were worn, rebreathers attached, com too. She was late in deciding she would do this
* @Shannon but she knew what they were up against. She was with Team One. Kevin, another lucky one who wouldn't need a personal rebreather - since well his wetsuit was one giant breathing aparatus. He too geared up, and headed for Team Two, his powerset better for rescue than for massive combat. Especially considering that the suit that enabled him to safely breath up there inhibited him from using
* @Shannon any other powers.
<@Sisip> Sisip, serious as anyone has ever seen her, looks at the group. "God speed, people. Come home to us." There's not much she can say. Everyone was outfitted with the toxin, transmitters, weapons, a map and rebreathers. It was all she could do for them. "Transport in ... 5... 4... 3... 2.... 1..." She presses the button, her eyes on Jack all the while. It takes a moment or so before almost at once people disappear from the courtyard and appear .... elsewhere. | The air is disgustingly humid as the group appears in a the 'belly of the beast'. The room is wide and spacious, big enough for quite a grouping of bodies! Perhaps it's the walls themselves but there is a definate light, always nice not to be plunged into darkness. A large machine off to the side beeps and dings quietly, the room lit by some unseen source. There are three Uidry at the controls, burbling to each other before one of them looks over at the group then away again. An almost comical double take is given as it realizes that what they had just beamed on board was not, in fact, their brothers but rather ... potential slaves! --- FROM HERE ON OUT PLEASE RESPOND IN YOUR TEAM ROOMS ----
