Danger Room; Sept 15: Team 1 Training

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 10:46 pm

"Be ready to move. I just want you to try to take a shape that'll make a natural breakwall for anyone charging us. Big and durable, that's my only requirement. Beyond that, let your imagination go crazy."

He stopped the group while they were still under cover, but able to see the hospital. "Nita, can you feel whether or not we have a good entry point at any of the windows?"

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 10:48 pm

"Let my imagination go crazy. If you insist, o captain." Will said, a gleam coming to his eyes.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 10:50 pm

"Give me a sec."

Anita steps behind cover, and closes her eyes. She shivers, her breathing accelerates a little.

She opens her eyes a few moments later. "Front door is mined, back door has a guard sitting in a chair behind the door. Some humans huddled up on the third floor, skrulls roaming around. Our best bet is the roof, or a window on the second floor. They spread broken glass around under the windows on the first."

Anita smiles. "If we want to be quiet about it anyway. Back door is good for the guns blazing approach."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:04 pm

Ryan smirked. "I prefer for only our guns to be blazing. Roof it is. Everyone up to... well, as high in this building as you can get," he said, referring to the office building they were using for cover. "I'll air-lift everyone onto the roof from there."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:06 pm

"I can probably climb it if it'll take too long to ferry, but I don't weigh much either so.." she shrugs and starts up the current building.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:07 pm

Anita nods. "Roger." She starts climbing.

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:08 pm

"It's times like this I wish I understood how flying works. Unless someone is pretty good with a hangglider, I'll need a lift, too" Will said as he climbed the building.

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:26 pm

"Too bad we don't have a big enough source of hot air or helium or whatever, that might work."

by **Will Stanton** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:30 pm

"Probably a bit noticeable in this instance, but I like the way you think."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:31 pm

"So, uh, what do you guys know about Skrulls anyway?"

by **Anita Fernandez** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:38 pm

Anita recites what she knows between grunts as she quickly and deftly climbs the structure. "Aliens, shapeshifters, can sometimes steal powers, at war with the Shi'ar, usually pretty dangerous."

"But Lumis said they wouldn't be today, except for me and Seraph. Plus, they work better as assasins."

by **Zoe Walker** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:44 pm

"Right. Okay then.." and she also lapses in relative silence while making her way up. The extra grip on the soles of her boots certainly helps, but she's actually in pretty good shape anyway.

by **Narrator** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 11:59 pm

As the team reaches the top of the building, they see that the roof is indeed clear. Of course, it doesn't look terribly stable, but it is at least clear of skrulls.

Everything around them is devoid of activity, making it a ghost-town. That's a bit depressing, until one remembers that they are in the Danger Room, and there was no real reason to populate this simulation.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:01 am

"Alright, let's get over there and get going. We've got hostages to rescue."

Turning to Ryan, he adds "How many people can you take at a time?"

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:03 am

Zoe nods, dropping the slick effect on her uniform so it'll be easier for Ryan to get a hold of her for the ferry ride. She looks over at the target building and rocks on her feet to try and burn off some nervous energy.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:09 am

"For a quick flutter down onto the roof? Two," he said, holding his arms straight out. "The two lightest, climb on."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:14 am

Zoe should qualify as lightest, or be the first runner up, so she moves up and grabs a hold.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:18 am

"How about two and an action figure?" Will said, shrinking down to six inches in height.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:30 am

Anita scoops up Will, and if he is indeed light, grabs hold of Ryan with Will in hand.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:34 am

Anita will discover that Will, at this size, has a near negligible weight.

"Just don't squeeze, will ya?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:59 am

"Well, this is convenient," Ryen remarked, taking each girl around the waist, then hopping down from the building they were on, fluttering his wings until he came to arest on a sturdy part of the roof near the door.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:33 am

Zoe can't help but giggle at the flight, this being her first time in Ryan's arms The gritty realism of the scenario does kick back in though, and by the time they touchdown she's more serious.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:45 am

Will hopped out of Anita's hand and grew back to normal size.

"Phew, that's always a little disorienting."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:12 am

"Let me know if you need me to slow down for a minute then, Will," Ryan said as they made their way over to the door. "All right... until further notice, this is the game plan. Will, you're going to be pulling up the rear, keeping yourself big enough and dense enough to be a breakwall against advances from the rear. Anita and I will take front and sides. Zoe, I want you to stay in the middle of us and play with the floors where you see the opportunities, keeping anyone off-balance that attacks us. You get to make sure no one gets away. Step up when you have the chance or as you're comfortable... No offense intended, I just haven't seen you fight yet, I don't want to push you out front until I have a better idea what you can do."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:17 am

"I'll be fine; it's just hands suddenly being twice the size of bodies flips something in my brain for a second. No biggy" Will says, as his skin begins to fluctuate and ripple, settling on a metallic sheen.

"I'll get larger when there's something to block."

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:39 am

"No offense taken, sounds like a good plan to me." She coats her uniform with a slick effect again and steps lively, staying in a crouch as much as possible to make it easier to reach the floor.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:42 pm

As the team moves toward the roof stair, they hear some movement, someone stomping up the stairs.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:45 pm

Ryan pointed to Anita and Zoe, pointing them to the other side of the door, as he and Will took up position on the side of the door they were already on.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:14 pm

Zoe nods and slips forward through the door, flattening herself on the wall to one side. She tilts her head and listens, nervously biting on her lower lip.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:27 pm

Anita braces her shoulder against Zoe to provide a sense of comfort, and pops her second gun out, holding them ready with the safties off and the hammers cocked back.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:38 pm

Three skrulls burst out of the door, charging out with crowbars in their hands.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:47 pm

Ryan didn't wait, he let loose with a blast as the first one came through the door. "Now!"

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:49 pm

Zoe finishes her crouch, planting one palm flat against the ground. Her power spreads out in a fan along the floor, turning the surface in front of the chargers into a slick surface.

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:52 pm

Anita's gun's roar as the skrulls start sliding, each gun firing twice.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:00 pm

The three skrulls go down in a rush, sliding out across the surface. Ryan's blast knocks one unconcious, and Zoe puts them all on the ground. Anita's shots hit joints, disabling those skrulls. Even though they aren't dead, the sim de-rezzes them.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:05 pm

She pulls the slick back so the team can move up without falling, "Wow, nice shooting."

by **Anita Fernandez** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:06 pm

Anita grins. "Thanks!"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:49 pm

"Good job, both of you. "Now... in we go."

Ryan peered around into the door, and assuming there weren't more skrulls, he'd lead the team down the stairs.

by **Zoe Walker** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 3:51 pm

Zoe settles in to the middle position, looking around and staying as alert as she can. Her footfalls are quite light, even though stealth has already been abandoned with the reports of Anita's pistols.

by **Narrator** » Thu Mar 19, 2009 4:01 pm

The top floor that the team descends to is in really bad shape, with the flooring cracked and tilted in several places. It creaks alarmingly as Ryan steps on it, even as light as he is.
