Re: The Colony - Day 2
Somewhere East of Firelight Base: Carmine Forest (Unknown Sector), Orc Encampment; Circe, Lullana
"There won't be very much practice," Tereani pulled the rifle from the rack, checking to see if it had ammo, before handing it to the Bioid. It was a heavier rifle than she was used to, but she could still easily heft it - but not one-handed.
"And our weapons are very... different than yours, yes. I'll be giving you some different ammo for it, however."
((This is the part where Tereani tells Circe about the different ammo, hidden so only Maiko and our Orc Grunts and Slaves will know!))
After she was finished explaining, Tereani gave Circe two green, pink, and purple clips, as well as 1 yellow clip. Picking up another Orc Pistol, she handed that to Circe also, with two green and pink clips for her to carry for that. Last but not least, she grabbed similiar armor to what she was already wearing, tossing it to Circe.
((Circe has gained an Orc Sniper Rifle (d3 damage, 4 rounds/clip, can pierce armor) and an Orc Pistol (d1 damage, 8 rounds/clip), and Orc Light Armor (10 durability))
Firelight Base, Floor 2: Command Center; Commander Winters, Jethro, Annerose, Cassidy, Emily, Skora and Kiera (representation)
"No, it doesn't actually shoot or drip. Just me being a crazy AI. Do you know we AIs are crazy?" Kiera asked as she lead Emily down to Barracks, letting her shower in one of the bathrooms.
Back in the Command Center, Cassie quietly hooks the HUD up to her command terminal, keying in the passcode to break through any encryption the Alliance had installed on it.
"Kiera, restore the device to one minute before Cassidy picked it up," She commanded. The process didn't take too long, and Cassie soon had Circe's unedited video playing on the screen. The video is from Circe's point of view, filming the debris and destroyed buildings as she was carried.
"Hey there Blue, there's a couple of things I need you to do for me. First, don't follow me. Head back to Firelight with those two women, get more people, then head out again, but not after me. Getting Firelight running at peak is more important than me. The second thing I need you to do is look after the Commander. I think you'll know how to do that. And tell her... Tell her I'll see her again. And I'll see you again Azure, you can bet on that."
Cassie took a deep, shaking breath, clutching at her chest as the video ended. Resting on the command terminal, she cleared her throat, just in time for Emily to come back up to the Command Center, lead by another representation of Kiera.
"We have some VIPs that are needed to make Firelight run at peak operating effciency. Cassidy... Do you still want to go after Nanako?"
"I think that means we just missed something juicy..." Kiera whispered to Emily, before tacking on: "You did. I know what happened."
Firelight Base: Sub-Floor 12; Marie, Laina, Ashley and Kalica
Laina goes south and turns on the sensor nodes at the intersection, then heads back up north with the group. The women all look at each other, before continuing on, towards Garage Four...
Resources:
The door slides open without any issue as they approach. Marie and Laina, being the only two with military training, were the first to enter, their weapons at the ready. A large motorcycle with two cannons sticking from the front sat in front of them; another was overturned to their right. Marie figured these must have been the Valkyrie bikes that Kiera had mentioned. The other two women made their way slowly into the dimly lit garage, keeping their eyes peeled...
The lights in the giant garage made a feriously loud noise, catching everyone off guard as the entire area lit up. To the North was an old vehicle that Marie had piloted - and even used the Turret on the back a few times: A Portia MKII, an old, tried and true vehicle for the Alliance from even before the Outer Colony revolutions. Marie stared longingly at the vehicle for a few moments, remembering the few days she had the privelage of using the buggy.. When movement just behind one of it's massive tires caught her eye. The woman rose her pistol, eyes focusing on the flash of green...
"What's going on here?" They heard a rough, feminine voice say. Looking towards the corner of the Garage, to where a maintenance tunnel lead out, a tall, muscular orcess walked through, covered from nearly head-to-toe in what looked like tribal armor, red tattoos running across her entire body. Behind her dragged a small blue form, bound with some sort of material... Ing'Tin! She pulled the unconscious xeno around, setting him near the base of the stairs to the maintenance ramp, just as the large wolf from before slowly walked up behind the orcess; it jumped from the ten-foot platform, landing (and skittering) on the metal floor just a bit, it's hackles raised as it growled.
"I think there are some humies here trying to play 'Hero'," She said, grinning, "...Good enough for me. I like breaking in new pets." As she taunted the women, three wolves - probably one of the creatures from before, slowly made their way from the south corner of the garage, each snarling at the human women.
"Give in now, and I'll go easy on you," She said, looking over the women, "..And I'll only feed this pathetic being here to my wolves. I'll spare you that indignity."
As she spoke, the orc Grunts came out from behind the Portia - one stupid enough to leave cover completely. Marie knew if they could clear any danger from the Portia, she could use the gun - she could probably even use the upturned Valkyrie, but with how little room there would be to manuever... Laina knew she could also easily hotwire the over-turned bike, turning it into a large proximity mine if anything got too close. Finally, up on the ceiling, Ashley spotted an automatic turret - and while it was too high up to reach, Kiera may be able to reactivate it.
((Woo! First Boss Fight! Because it is a boss battle, all AP, FP, MP, and EP has been restored. Bosses will not attack until attacked first, or until their minions are all dead/incapacitated/turned. Also, I think I'll have to start doing these maps in AutoCAD... would make it easier to show the giant rectangle is a buggy with a turret on the back.))
