I12DT - Your mission, since you ARE to accept it...

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 7:13 pm

"Steve, is that a person up there?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 7:14 pm

"Haley! Shield!" Theresa pointed to where she assumed the paintballs were coming from. "Everyone else keep moving! We can't get pinned down in here!" She dragged the fog in with them, trying to solidify it a bit to make it more of a visual barrier between them and their attackers.

by **Regan Rourke** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 7:21 pm

Regan laughs and rolls off the machinery, falling back in line with the group.

"I think they saw us."

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 7:22 pm

Riot ducks behind a newly made proxy, using it as a shield, "OMGWTF? Way to Leroy Jenkins this thing, bitch!"

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 7:29 pm

"Let me check," Steve answered, feeling for minds overhead.

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 8:07 pm

Haley stopped trying to find the shooters and brought up a pretty impressive shield around as much of the group as she could.

She made a point of not shielding Regan.

by **Regan Rourke** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 8:25 pm

Regan smirks at Haley excluding her, "Guess I'm sleeping on the couch tonight."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 8:33 pm

Alex was focusing on one of the machines, syncing with it. It was a bit of a different alloy than he was used to, but... "Got it!" he called, the machine deforming and flowing, spreading into a covering sheet that spread to the next machine, which similarly began to deform and grow, blocking the line of sight from that corner.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 7:58 am

Now that Alex was taking over blocking duties, Theresa let her fog drop. She turned her attention to watching the airflow in the building, trying to see if it would give her some indication of a way out.

by **Regan Rourke** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:50 pm

Regan tilts her head to one side, looking like she's listening to something. Then, with a smirk on her face, she takes a step back from the group and disappears into the spirit world.

by **Narrator** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:51 pm

The sniper couldn't see them at the moment, and the paintballs stopped popping in. Unfortunately, as the fog lifted, the drone that had rolled in at the end of the row of machines locked onto them, a signal beeping as it began transmitting.

Somewhere near the ceiling, there was a whirring sound as automated turrets slowly rotated to lock onto them.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:53 pm

Brigid wound up and threw the padlock squarely at the drone!

by **Marcie Tiboldt** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:01 pm

Mars fired an arrow at one of the turrets! 17 + 2 for a 19 to hit!

by **Steve Jones** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 7:12 pm

Meanwhile, Steve... well he just concentrated on not getting shot.

by **Haley Crusek** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 7:23 pm

Haley pushed her shield around the group to the limit. It was pretty damn impressive the kind of power she could throw around.

by **Lillian Clearwater** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 10:02 pm

The kitty increased her speed using nearby machinery and pillars to occasionally take cover. She was incapable of human speech in the form she was in- she would have asked for assistance otherwise.

She had been told to scout ahead and that was exactly what she was going to do!

It's time to be useful for once! Everyone else has awesome powers. Me? Naw, I just turn into a cat...Fantastic.

She wanted to see what was waiting for them ahead. She wanted to be of use even if it ment acting as a decoy.

by **Narrator** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 11:55 pm

Lillian would, in her frantic kitteny scouting, see that there were a couple more drones rolling along at a leisurely pace between them and (dah dah daaaahhhhhh) the door. And right over it was a turret that didn't seem inclined to fire at anyone... at least not as long as the drones weren't telling it that there was something to fire at.

The snipers appeared to not have a good shot at the kids anymore, giving them a bit of a reprieve. The drone was trailing sparks as it rolled away, its camera shattered. The turret Marcy had fired at was still trying to fire, but with an arrow jammed into its barrel, it was just sort of oozing paint out the end.

This all, of course, depended on the kids avoiding the last cameras to give away their locations.

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 2:47 pm

"zerg rush, kekeke," Riot says, producing a crowd of proxies that rush towards the drones, trying to distract them so others can take them out.

by **Mariuset** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 12:08 am

Mariuset opened her mouth and a jet of fire came out of her mouth, hitting the nearest drone.

by **Lillian Clearwater** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 9:40 am

Lillian crouched behind the nearest machine and shifted back into her human form. She was panting heavily from her run as she pressed her back into the cool metal.

'I really need to workout more'

"Aisha?" Her voice was hushed. "Aisha, are you there? We need to tell the others what we've seen" Lillian was unsure if her partner had kept up as promised.

by **Aisha Khan** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 1:18 am

"I'll go back." Aisha said "They're less likely to spot me."

by **Marcie Tiboldt** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 2:53 am

"Ha!" Mars said, drawing another arrow from her quiver and starting to rush ahead.

by **Lillian Clearwater** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:19 pm

Lillian nodded. "Be quick. Be careful."

by **Haley Crusek** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:20 pm

Haley had a far off look on her face as she concentrated on keeping a shield up around the group, vaguely moving with them as she needed to.

by **Calvin Strong** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 5:13 pm

"All right, there we go," Cal whispered triumphantly. "Watch this."

And for those that saw it, the automated turret by the door, and really all of them around the room, swiveled up and began firing wildly up into the rafters.

by **Aisha Khan** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 11:23 pm

As quickly and carefully as she could, Aisha slipped back to tell Theresa what was going on.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 8:39 am

Theresa was still hunkered down under cover, trying to keep a good watch on everything that was going on. Her eyes periodically flared and died again as she tried to assess everything.

by **Haley Crusek** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 11:13 am

"I think we might be able to make it to the door..."Haley said distantly, focused on shielding the group.

by **Alexandria McDougal** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 2:50 pm

"Move up then! Fucking n00bs!" Riot yells, pressing forward to the door under cover of proxies.

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:28 pm

Steve made a dash for the door to see if the next room was clear. The boy was damned quick on his feet too.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 3:33 pm

Kay scrambles along with everyone else, trying to stick close to Riot's proxies.

by **Haley Crusek** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 10:11 pm

Haley did her best to keep the whole group shielded, moving along with everyone, but people were bound to slip through the shield as they snaked through the factory.

by **Aisha Khan** » Tue Sep 03, 2013 11:35 pm

Aisha slipped back and reported on what she'd seen to Theresa.

by **Marcie Tiboldt** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 3:09 am

Mars runs to the door and kicks it open, "Come on! Let's go before they regroup!"

by **Narrator** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 5:14 am

Past the assembly floor were some broken-down offices. This area showed just how old the building was... unlike machinery, drywall DID end up crumbling, and apparently some squatters had helped it along. There was cover here from the half-broken walls... but not much. And they could hear the whirring of drones somewhere in the offices.

At this point, Steve and Haley would begin to pick up more cloaked thoughts... there was someone hiding in these offices... multiple someones.

by **Steve Jones** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 9:32 am

Steve pressed himself against a broken wall.

"We've got more guards in here," he sent to the others. Then, rather than thoughts, he tried to read a few of the guards' eyes.

by **Wayne Cole** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 3:49 pm

"Just tell me who to punch. Fuck these fucking rules set up by fuckers who fuck one another."

by **Haley Crusek** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 11:50 pm

well...that was...creative?

Haley smirked to herself trying to see if she could pinpoint where the thoughts were coming from, dropping the shield briefly to focus her efforts.

by **Molly Malcolm** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 3:15 am

"Maybe I can spot them if I get higher," Molly says, right before flying up in the air for a better vantage point.

by **Haley Crusek** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 7:29 am

"Or they'll just shoot you..." Haley grumbled, deciding to put a bubble of TK around the very visible target.
