Kora's reply

Kora frowned. Stay put? Sounds suspicious. "Erm...I can't leave the com office, so...how about you rendezvous with Feron? He's in the Arcade. I recommend telling him everything."

The Makings of a Wonderful Party

Bowie glanced around at them all, thinking to himself about how well a party comes together. Nodding to Eevee, he replied confidently, "Then we'll have to search for it in the Clockworks, floor by floor.". Returning his attention to the Almirian Crusader, he inclined his head in acknowledgement of her introduction. "Well, Gardevoir, we could certainly use the help. Oh okay, we won't head out just yet, take as long as you need to prepare.", he said as she walked off to the machine.

Whilst watching her place the spear in the machine and seeing all the smoke come from it, he waved his hand in front of his face. That smoke was quite foul as he got a good whiff of it. After a few minutes of it smoking, he saw her put her helm back on and take the now green tipped spear from the machine. "Hmm, an alchemical sort of process or I miss my guess.", he said to himself, thinking of the Blacksmith in the High Realms for some odd reason as Gardevoir returned with it. Smiling, he nodded and said, "Well, whatever works. I'm fine with the Force Sword.".

At that moment he heard a voice and turned his head. Towering over them was a Stranger doing the customary bow with clasped hands. It explained interest in their quest for the robot, claiming that Snipes had gone missing. Having laid the blame on the robot, Bowie's hand clenched the hilt of his sword, his turquoise eyes burning inside the helm with a righteous fury. "That machine will pay for its crimes. I'm Bowie, Stranger. You are more than welcome to help us with those daggers of yours.", he said with conviction, his fury focused on the machine that was stealing Snipes and the fighting pets of noble warriors.

What in the Embers?

Gallon clicked his neck, rubbing his hand on the back of his neck. Considering what he had been through, he expected some considerable pain upon waking up, but all he felt were some aching joints. He never knew of any Healing techniques that could pull off results like this. He turned to the sound of a Gremlin telling him how tough he was to revive.

Gallon paused. He scrambled his hands around his body, checking for any mortal wounds or recent scars. He couldn't find any, yet the odd Gremlin's words rang out as clear as day. He had died, and this scruffball of a creature must have brought him back. That deserved him a "get out of being punched on behalf of your [bucket] of a race" card. Gallon felt alot lighter, noticing his weapon, shield and clothes on a table outside of the medical room. He had to admit, despite wondering about how someone goes about bringing back the dead, his current situation was more deserving of answers.

"Thanks for the Revive. Amazing technique you have there. But where exactly am I? I doubt Im in the same hell-hole where those other [bucket]-rats of your race performed their tests on me. No offence". Gallon noticed the Azure Knight, and scowled. Even though the Gremlins had betrayed him, he now just held them at an equal level of revulsion to the Spiral Order.

So far the only major factions he had come across, apart from the very broken remnants of the Almirians, were Twisted, Furry, Self-Obsessed Creeps with a God Complex, and an Order of Planet-Cracking Templars, who he was fairly certain would drain the core of its power, and leave the planet's inhabitants to deal with Cradle's eventual meltdown. He hoped that his saviors were at least some decent company who would give him some answers and not set him up.

Arcade?

[What arcade? Are we all in the same town here?] asked Naomi as she began to walk outside.

"Stay put, I'm just going to check outside the alley, and I'll be back," she instructed to Herston.

[And Feron? He survived?] she continued as she brushed aside the fabric that served as the door, and out into the alleyway.

Need to use magic...

I hear Gardevoir introducing herself to Bowie and then went to the crafting machine. She put in a bunch of materials and tons of smoke started to come out. I covered my mouth from the smoke and I realized she didn't have her helm on. After the smoke vanished, she put her helm back on and I then hear a stranger coming and then said "Excuse me, little ones."

I started to blush lots again, it happens when I am near any males. The stranger said "I heard you say something about a pet-stealing robot, little ones." I started to lose more comfort and I was getting closer to crying. The stranger then said "Many Snipes have gone missing, little ones. I fear that machine may have taken them captive. My skills are at your disposal. Little ones, we must destroy this machine.

I then said to the stranger after he pulled out weapons and changed the color in the gems to green. I said to the stranger "W-w-what's your name stranger? I-I-I lost my pets to that robot..." I started to feel embarrassed like I did with I started to talk to Bowie and I still can't believe they haven't noticed the fact I don't have any weapons or a shield and the fact that my clothes I am wearing are clothes that don't give defense...

((OOC: Before we explore, I need to set cool-down for the magic. Thunderbolt: 30 seconds, Psi-Blade: 2 minutes 30 seconds and Needle Launcher: 5 minutes.))

"I am known as Fennel, little one," Fennel replied. He casually petted a Snipe on the head. "And what of you three?"

"Alone?"

"NO!" Herston protested against Naomi's wishes, and he stopped.

"Fine, but stay in range of comns." Herston said, then switching comn channels to Kora, "Kora, this is Herston. Naomi's going to walk out of here. Maybe we should have a group channel?"

Shivering

The stranger said his name was Fennel and was wondering about us three. I said "Me and-and Bowie are Valkyries and-and Gardevoir is-is an almirian. My-my pets Light Seraphynx and-and Dark Maskeraith were taken by the-the giant robot... I-I-I tried to get-get away from it but-but it sensed where my-my pets went..." I started to feel cold and started to shiver. I thought "Must be cold air..."

Helping

I look at the stranger and heard Eevee saying "Me and-and Bowie are Valkyries and-and Gardevoir is-is an almirian. My-my pets Light Seraphynx and-and Dark Maskeraith were taken by the-the giant robot... I-I-I tried to get-get away from it but-but it sensed where my-my pets went..." I noticed her cheeks were flushed and she stuttered but it only seemed to happen when she was around men.

I noticed she was shivering and I said to the stranger who was called Fennel "I am going to be helping Eevee to get her pets back because I know how hard it is losing a pet or a close friend." I went to Eevee and took out a cloak that didn't provide defense from my bag and put it on her to warm her up. As I did that, I noticed she never had any weapons or a shield. Her clothes didn't seem to give any defense which was really odd. I said to her "You OK Eevee? I am wondering, can you use magic to attack since I can't see anything else..."

Trying to sense where the robot is...

I still shivering until Gardevoir put a cloak on me and asked me "You OK Eevee? I am wondering, can you use magic to attack since I can't see anything else..." I said to Gardevoir "I-I-I have strong magic attacks but-but they have a cool-down w-w-which usually is my downfall and thanks for the c-c-cloak..." I thought "A spare cloak, Gardevoir seems to be resourceful." I then said "If we knew where the robot was, we could rescue the pets." I sighed and closed my eyes waiting for something to happen. I started to try and sense to see where the giant robot could be while waiting...

((OOC: Just waiting... it's a bit boring...))

Wandering around.

Gallon got up off of the table, and walks over to his clothes. He looked them over, and noticed that they'd been cleaned since he last wore them. How much restoration had they done to him? A stray thought past his mind. What if this was in the future again?!

The Lancer glanced at the date that was shown on the wall. Only 2 days had passed since he recalled he was at the Gremlin Laboratory. Gallon blew a sigh of relief as he continued to don his gear, awaiting an answer to where he was from the Gremlin Mender. He looked over the table for his helm, before realising he had left it back at the Arcade. He looked down at his feet, while planting his hands on the table, while mulling over recent events.

had he done all of this for her? For Lilith. Who he noticed had done nothing to aid him out of his situation. He let out a deep sigh, realising it was too good to be true. A girl being nice to him, without having some sinister motive? It was just like the 'Bordello incident' all over again...Gallon shook his head, to rid himself of any thoughts of her. It didnt really work...

Waiting

I hear Eevee saying "I-I-I have strong magic attacks but-but they have a cool-down w-w-which usually is my downfall and thanks for the c-c-cloak..." I said "No problem." She then said to everyone "If we knew where the robot was, we could rescue the pets." She then closed her eyes and that was when I noticed her headband that had a blue orb in the middle. I thought "Eevee's dress sense is unique."

Oops. I had school :P

"Little ones, let us go." Fennel spread his arm towards the Arcade. "But first, there is one thing I wish to know."

He walked towards a knight who seemed to be in charge (Feron), and asked, "Little one, I have recently recovered this item. Can you perhaps enlighten me on its purpose?" He held out the cage where the Seraphynx had been in. "A creature, Kat-like, was in there, but was taken away before I could rescue it."

No where but then

Mortis sighed as he was getting no answers. Instead all he got was a scared human who would sooner wet his pants when talk to the Amirian. Looking around he saw a helm that was closet to the once dead corps of the Knight. Kneeling down he looked it over, taking a mental picture of where it was relative to where the body was.

With everything done Mortis picked up the helm and looked it over. This is Almirian design, further more the color indicates a rather well decorated warrior. If my memory serves right its the same kinda helm warn by the one called Gallon. Looking around he grumbed something over in his teeth while his mind came to a furlong conclusion. The Almirian, Gallon, killed this Knight. He took the mans elevator or ID card to get the Elevator active riding it down with out so much as a word. So, with that done the only other person that is not here is that woman. I can deduce they when together. Of course this is only a theory. With a little more evidence I can prove this, but how.

Looking over Mortis saw the screaming Knight and with a little bit of boiling anger he yelled up. "BE QUIET...I am trying, to think..." Slowly he walked away from the man holding the helm. It was normally not the best idea to hold something from a person who kills a man with out even looking him in the eye. But it was the only kinda clue he had with any kinda lead.

So, they went into the Clockworks. But what for, at this point the Grimlens are more or less taken over those foul stages. And from what I can understand its getting unstable...I might be undead but I have a feeling in my bones that this will end badly.
---

Taking the better part of his time Mortis made it up the stares and found a group of three people talking. One was the Stranger who helped with the Snipe and two of the creatures Mortis would rather spit there names then speak. As well as a Fellow Amirian. "Hay...Any of you, know where I can fin-" He coughed up more of the Flame able liquid, "-fine who ever is, leading these...humans?" He asked the group of four.

Close to exploring

I had my eyes closed until the stranger said "Little ones, let us go." I opened my eyes and see him pointed in the direction and then said "But first, there is one thing I wish to know." I started to walk towards the arcade. When I reached the arcade, I saw another male almirian who seemed to be undead. I got a little worried and stepped back.

The stranger talked to someone but I didn't hear it and the other almirian seemed to be angry at me and Bowie. I thought "W-w-what did I do?" The guard then said "Hay...Any of you, know where I can fin-" The almirian coughed out some liquid and I moved away more. The almirian then said "-find who ever is, leading these...humans?"

I knew who he was talking about but I was still worried. I carefully walked closer and said to the almirian "D-d-does the person h-h-have gold hair? I-I-if she does, n-n-never trust her, s-s-she led another almirian c-c-crusader to his death w-w-with some gremlins. A-a-also, w-w-what did I do to-to you?"

Return of Mortis...

I see Fennel showing us in the direction of the arcade. I see Eevee walking ahead and when we reached the arcade, I saw the stranger talking to someone and I noticed Eevee a bit worried about someone. I look and see Mortis standing there who was asking a question. I didn't know who he was talking about but when he coughed something up, it splashed onto me and when I looked at it, it was a liquid which could be set on fire...

I have a look on the gates and 1 of them seemed to be down and I saw one knight who seemed unhappy. I look at the 4 active gates and I saw 1 construct gate. I looked and saw it after Emberlight. I thought "That must be where that robot is..." I remember about the flamable liquid and got a rag to clear it up. I said "Everyone, I think I have found a rough location where that robot who stole Eevee's pet's!"

The story continues!

Gallon said: "Thanks for the Revive. Amazing technique you have there. But where exactly am I? I doubt I'm in the same hell-hole where those other ass-rats of your race performed their tests on me. No offense". Gallon noticed the Azure Knight, and scowled.

The gremlin cackled in the usual gremlin way. "No offense taken, my friend. They are pretty axe-crazy. I'm Spanner, by the way. I'm from Emberlight. And this knight here is Jorin; he says he's a Vanguard in the Spiral Order, which I'm told is a pretty high rank." Jorin chuckled and bowed slightly. "Just short of Lieutenant," he said. He stuck out his hand to Gallon to shake. "What's your name, good sir?"
__________

"What arcade? Are we all in the same town here?" Naomi asked.
"If we're both in Haven, then yes. The Arcade is due north of the Town Square; it houses the main four elevators that grant access to the Clockworks. If you don't know what that is, you will soon."
"And Feron? He survived?"
"Yep, he survived mostly uninjured. He works at the west end of the Arcade, usually. You really should go and speak with him."

Kora then switched to the other incoming transmission. "Kora, this is Herston. Naomi's going to walk out of here. Maybe we should have a group channel?" She thought about this for a moment, then nodded. "Sure, there's sufficiently few of us online to make it work." She opened all the channels and introduced everyone. "Hey folks, I've turned on the group channel. I'm Kora, and Naomi and Herston are currently online. Say hi."

Greetings.

Gallon had just about put on his jacket, as he noticed the Gremlins paw stretched out in Greeting. The furball had also mentioned something about a place called 'Emberlight', which he assume was where they were now. Gallon grasped the paw firmly, and shook in greeting, while replying to the Mender's question of who he was,

"Im Gallon, an Ex-Lancer of the Almirian Empire". He glanced over at the Vanguard known now as Jorin, while still shaking hands with the Mender known as Spanner. He extended his answer to the Gremlin, "Its nice to meet you as well. Excuse me for a moment". Gallon broke the hand-shake and stepped over to the Vanguard, intent on some answers of his Order.

"Jorin, may I ask a few questions about your Order?", Gallon enquired. He was going to clarify if what Lilith was getting at was all just a story, or if there had been some truth to it. Mixed messages were making Gallon really confused by this point, and some clarity would be nice for a change...

Questions about the Order

Spanner shook Gallon's hand firmly. "Pleasure to meet you, Gallon." The Almirian turned to Jorin and asked, "Jorin, may I ask a few questions about your Order?" Jorin nodded. "You certainly may. What would you like to know?" he replied as he sat down on the floor next to the bed.

Need answers.

Gallon coughed into a clenched fist a couple of times, before straightening up with an over-bearing stature. He then addressed Jorin, and began to ask away with his questions,

"Why did you come to Cradle? I get that the Gravity from this planet pulled you in, I figured that after a while, but you had to be close enough for that to work, so why? What purpose did you have to come to this place?" Gallon stood by, crossing his arms, and giving a stern look to the Vanguard, awaiting a response. Time to find out how much of Lilith was truth.

Came to Cradle to save Isora

Jorin sighed. "We came to Cradle for several reasons. First off, our wars with the Morai completely devastated our homeworld, Isora. We eventually defeated them, but in our attempts to terraform our world back to its former state, we realized that we had nowhere near enough power to pull it off. So we took to the stars, hoping against hope that we would find something useful."

"What we found was beyond our wildest dreams! Cradle was not only habitable, but it had a tremendous energy source unlike anything we'd ever seen. I think we intended to land and check out this power, but...well, you know what happened. We crashed, so now we're stranded here."
__________

OOC: to summarize:
*They weren't completely at fault for the devastation of Isora. Both factions were responsible.
*The Knights wanted the power so they could restore Isora. They just wanted to go home.
*After the crash, they also wanted the power so they could get off the planet.

A few good follow-up questions:
*"Why were you fighting with the Morai in the first place?"
*"How much power were you intending to take?"

Naomi wasn't sure where to go, considering she was only just outside the alley.

#173

More answers.

Gallon flinched at how Jorin said about Cradle's amount of power. He sounded as if it were a miracle that not even a god could grant upon them. This concerned him. Were they really planning on abusing the Core and using it for their own selfish means? Gallon enquired further.

"So the Core is beyond whatever your dreams could comprehend, eh? Tell me. How much of this dream did you plan on extracting? Enough to fuel another craft...or enough to fuel another war?".

Gallons tempers were itching to rise, as Lilith's original plea to him was starting to ring true.

Wars are over.

"War!? You outta your frikkin' mind? We've had quite enough of war, thank you very much. We drove those Morai ******** off our **** planet, so we're all done fighting. No, HQ wants exactly 1,300,000 units of energy. 100,000 of that is gonna power the Skylark, and the rest is going into the terraformers. If it were up to me, I'd take the whole **** lot, seeing as how hostile the Clockworks has been, but it ain't up to me."

Struck a power chord.

Gallon twitched. His left hand began to shake as he heard the answers that Jorin had given him. 1.3 Million units was alot, and that may be enough to cause some serious problems, but that was at the limitations of their Superiors. This Vanguard would take it all if it were down to him, and Gallon was sure that he wasnt the only soul in their god-damned corps.

Lilith, no matter what she had forced upon him, was correct in her preaching to the Lancer. These knights only saw this place as one big hell-hole full of monsters that should burn with the Core's meltdown. No regard given to the Strangers, Almirian survivors, or Undead that had developed sentience like Mortis. Heck, the Gremlins were a twisted lot, but not even they deserved that.

And the Emberlight Gremlins, were they ok with all of this? Gallon decided to dig a little further. He turned away from Jorin with no further words, just a morose silence, and approached the Mender, Spanner, with a hushed query.

"What have these Knights told you of their purpose here? Of their intentions of the Core?" If he had found out that the furball had been decieved, then he'd rectify that as quick as a Wolver spotting its prey.

To Carry on.

Mortis gave up trying to get an answer out of this group. It was bad enough he had to deal with two of the creatures he disliked, but add to it they knew nothing and it seemed the Stranger was taking a vow of Silence. In responce Mortis turned and carried on looking around for someone that looked as if they where in some kinda control over things.

First, find some kinda leader or Commanding Officer. Second, find some better armor or ask them to update mine. I kinda like that Tech they have. The armor seems nice...More then likely would not hurt to get a full head cover like that guy... He though as he looked at a Warden, taking a liking to the armor style. That would be if I could even get to talk to them with out my voice giving out...bah stop thinking like that. Right now just find some kinda leader.

Holding the helm in his hand Mortis looked at it with a rather angry grimes. All that came to mind was killing the man that would kill a guest to his planet, his home. Seeing Cradle as his home rather then where he was born. Make no mistake, I will find you. And then answers will be found. And you will die or answer for you crime... Tucking the helm away Mortis hunted on for some one to speak too.

((Thin :L I need some more help here. Going to walk into some NPCs...maybe))

Going down...

It seemed the almirian guard and just ignored my sentence... I was a bit annoyed at the fact he ignored me and then Gardevoir said she found a rough location where that robot could be. I go towards Gardevoir and see the one construct gate and said "I-I-I am going down now..." I go onto the lift, set the destination for Emberlight and pushed the down button.

The lift started to go down and when it stopped, I saw tons of gremlins... I get off the lift and see I was in the middle of Emberlight and my stomach felt sore... I hope they don't try to attack me...

Mother

Spanner looked at him incredulously. "Of course they have. You sound like you have a problem with that." The gremlin clenched his fist and glared at Gallon. "If you have a problem with releasing Mother, you'd better be upfront about it so I don't have to chase your cowardly arse down."

I see Eevee and said "I-I-I am going down now..." She then went on the lift and went down. I noticed Mortis walking around and went to him. After I reached Mortis, I said to him "Mortis, why did you just ignore Eevee and what was that helm you had?"

#180

Viorayne

Enlighten.

Gallon gave Spanner a quizical glance. He'd never heard of the Energy at Cradle's centre be reffered to as Mother before. And releasing it? He had to do some more questioning to get a clearer image.

"What do you mean, Mother? And releasing her? I only thought of the Core as this world's energy. Would you mind enlightening me?" Gallon listened intently, hoping to gain some information on what the Core may be from some who were probably much more tuned into it than the Almirian archivists ever were.

Was the Core alive? And if it were to be 'released', what would happen?

Stopping Cold

Mortis turned and looked down at the Almirian woman. He shook his head as he held up the helm looking at it with such conviction that one could have seen raw anger welt out of him. Looking back at the woman he sighed.

"I did not, completely ignore those things...But I would be lying, if I said I wanted to hear them...Look at me." He said as he removed the helm from his own head, showing his burning skin and eyeless Sockets. "I should be resting in peace...those things, should have kept me dead...Low, I am here and talking t-" he stopped as he held his hand over his face, coughing sickly. "...to you. Tell me, does this seem like a peaceful rest? No, however my anger...is not at them. But at this, ones former owner."

He placed his helm back on his head and held up the Lancers Helm he recovered from the Arcade. Holding it between his hands the Shadow Guardian slowly started too apply presure to each side. In his anger, Mortis was crushing the helm, leaving dents and holds where his pointed fingers touched.

"An Almirian, has honor...We are not back stabers...We are warriors, not murders." It was at this point his body started to erupt into a little flame around his armor. "And yet, this one. Killed a Sky Human, a guest to our home!"

Taking a breath Mortis let the helm fall with two clear as day hand prints on either side of the helm. He was still very angry by his revlation and the fact an Almirian would stoop so low.

"All I can say...is this one, deserves death."

Mother

Spanner sighed. Storytime. "We call her Noswyl, which means 'origin of life' in the Common tongue. She raised us gremlins, took us in when we were broken and struggling to survive, and made us whole again. I actually met her once. Out of all the gremlins in all the universe, she saw me, and took an interest in my life. She made this Wrench Wand just for me; look, it even has extra functions that other wands don't have! It's got a screwdriver blade on the handle, a real working spanner mechanism on head, a socket to put the crystal in when I want to use the wrench to tighten bolts, and sharp spikes on the side for defense. It can even fire Ember Bolts!"

He coughed and sniffled, starting to break up. "Our stupid King Tinkinzar had the bright idea to lock her up in the Core. I spent years of blood, sweat, and toil building the Clockworks to protect Mother, not imprison her! How would you feel if you gave a gift to your mom that got her jailed? I'd sooner blow the whole thing to smithereens and watch it burn to ashes than let it hold her captive."

Lord

Gallon nodded, the story hitting him hard as Spanner revealed how the core, or 'Noswyl' gave them everything they held dear, and yet held no avail at preventing her downfall, all events included spiralling out of control. Gallon had once known a similar experience, he would part unto this one, special Mender.

"I...I know the feeling. Are you familiar with the Almirian order? If not I shall tell you. We were a mighty legion serving under a great Lord who kept our kingdom protected and strong. I was once a Proud Warrior in such Legion. An Elite Knight serving our Lord himself in a secret Order, known as The Bronze Lancers. We did not revel in up-front affairs as the rest of the Legion did without question. We took discrete tasks that our Lord found needed a special hand in order to be dealt with. And so he sent us in".

Gallon sighed deeply, as he continued.

"We were zealous of our Lord's command, We would slay, We would capture, We would defend in his name without so much as an usher from our Lord. The most devoted and righteous of the entirety of the Legion, with the abilities to bring down a Battalion. It was all taken when events out of our control took our Lord away in a great blaze. My Brethren also taken. Everything gone up in ashes".

He turned to Spanner, tears forming in his eyes. ""Your Lord destroyed your life, While simple elements destroyed Lord and Life I held dear. What good were the abilities we were taught, the equipment we were given, when faced with the ferocity of the elements themselves? They failed, and so...I failed". Gallon lent in to Spanner, and spoke a final few words.

"I will do everything in my power to make sure that you still retain a chance to free your Core-Mother, Noswyl. I will aid you so you and your allies do not fall to trying to complete your duty to her. It is what my Lord would have wanted. To help serve, to help others in the name of Almire".

Something's off

I hear Mortis saying a lot of stuff and the reason why he was still walking. I thought "Ancestors... that's why he is angry at Eevee." As he continued he pulled out a helm and I noticed it was Gallon's. I thought "Gallon was going after the golden-haired woman, I wonder if she was the one who caused the death..."

I said "Mortis, I don't think Gallon killed the visitor, I think it was a woman with gold hair. It wouldn't make sense for a crusader to kill a new person even if they appeared out of nowhere... " I thought "I better find Eevee before she gets to deep and where did the valkyrie Bowie go? I will go after Mortis says something else..."

Going deeper

I see the gremlins just minding there own business and I decided to go deeper in hopes of finding the robot. I go onto the lift and pushed the down button. Once the lift stopped, I got off it and noticed it going up. I started to sense what was on the floor and I sensed tons of Mecha Knights, a gremlin, a knight, a crusader and a deactivated robot near me.

I look at the robot who seemed to be down and I picked it up. I then put it on a wall and see the back was open. I wondered "Is this robot a friendly Mecha Knight and I wonder what would happen if I launched a thunderbolt in it. I prepare and said "Thunderbolt." It launched lots of electric power into the robot but the noise alerted a few Mecha Knights.

I closed the back and started to run by the Mecha Knights. I run and since I never had my pets, this would be a problem. I run but I had the entire Mecha Knight army after me now. I run and hoped the crusader saw me in trouble. I continue running until I get stuck in a corridor and saw the robots slowly moving closer and I thought "This is the end for me..."

I desperately launched another thunderbolt which destroyed 1. I then launched a psi-blade which didn't even kill one and I then used needle launcher which finished off the mecha knight that took the psi-blade hit.

Lies

Mortis shook his head as he crossed his arms and looked down at the woman.

"Lo, the man that was killed. He had armor on, and from the style it took One-Thousand Pounds of preasure to snap a mans neck. On top of that it takes an additional Ten Pounds of Pressure per inch of armor. They had on Three to two inch thick armor. As well as cloth. In all it would have taken a good One-Thousand Forty Pounds of Pressure plus to snap the mans neck."

Mortis reached up and took of his head pointing to the neck and giving a small example of what he was talking about. If course it would have looked creepy as all hell but then again he was undead. This did not effect him in the least.

"So I say again, Lo. He did what I would call a quiet "Hangman's Fracture." This means that the way the neck was snapped, it was intended to kill. I can not say for sure, but from the way the neck was broken of the woman had done it the bone would still have had enough tension where it would not move as freely as I did..."

He placed his head back on his neck and turned it a little to get it fitting right. Crossing his arms again Mortis turned his head and spit some of the Liquid on the ground as it flared up only to quickly die out.

"Only the arms of a Trained warrior could do something so quiet and with enough force to kill a man in the amount of time it would have taken to get away. So, I stick by what I said. That man is dead if I see him, he will face the justice and in that moment. Unless evidance shows me other wise. He will die for the life he took."

Looking forwards, Mortis normal look, a Scowl emited from his face as he grumbled something. "Go, follow those two creatures of my hate and the Stranger. I will remain here and explain my findings." With that he Saluted the Woman waiting for her to part.

Re-activated

I slowly start to see again and thought "How long was I deactivated?" I get off the wall and just see a knight running by and saw a few mecha knights chasing after her. I look around the corner and see a lot more mecha knights starting to chase after her and I thought "Let's pretend to help and then kill them later!" I activated my Overdrive when I saw them slowing down. I used the increased speed to knock out a few mecha knights and found a safe spot for the backfire.

After the backfire vanished, I went back to the mecha knights and started to pick one off. I started to use my claws and slowly teared the mecha knight apart. I then picked up a wrench and then realized my back compartment wasn't sealed. I then turned the bolt into place before I lost grip and dropped it. I sneaked behind the mecha knights and used my laser which tore through most of them, leaving a few near the person I saw before. I pulled up my Omega shield to block any surprise attacks if it was to happen...

Potentially Dangerous Robot...

It seemed Mortis did not believe me when I said it. I decided to go but I left a thought for Mortis "You might be right but, what if she had something sharp and the knight that was killed was in very bad condition and was close to death?" I leave towards the arcade to find Eevee. I find the gate and set it to Emberlight and pushed the down button.

When I reached Emberlight, I noticed the gremlins where busy and I just went to the next lift and pushed the down button. When I reached the next floor, it looked like a deconstruction zone and I thought "I wonder if that robot is here, it must be big if it can collect pets." I get off the lift and started to explore. I saw a large pile of mecha knights in 1 spot and I thought "Eevee... She, she could be stuck there..."

Before I could advance, a robot goes towards them and launches what looks like a laser. It then pulled out a shield and I thought "That robot could be a threat because of the power." I run behind the robot and slash at it with my spear but it didn't seem to do much. I moved back a little and pulled my Crest of Almire out."

Bah

Mortis spat at the ground once more as he started walking at his normal speed.

That Knight was in the prime of his youth. He had nothing wrong and I really doubt by the way the attack was done that Gallon had something to his neck. If he did then I am sure Gallon would have made it more visible as he killed the Knight. Lo, it was done with the intent to kill and not be seen. No Thread was present to Gallon at the time...I can only summarize that Gallon is a Murder...

Sighting Mortis moved on looking for some one who was in charge and some one he could get a new set of armor from. While he walked he could see that these Humans seemed to do things differently. Rather acting like a Military force, which was to be expected seeing as they just arrived. But it just seemed so strange compared to the way he was use to doing things.

Yet his mind kept falling back to Gallon. He calls himself an Almirian...Bah A Plague on him I say. Pray he does not find me or vice versa. For I will make him one with our beloved Almire.

Ignorance.

Gallon hears the elevator outside of the medical building, and spots an Almirian Crusader strolling through the town. He rolled his eyes to himself as the Crusader absently walked by the building he resided in, and descended into another elevator, further into the clockworks. Gallon wondered how the other Almirians had been trained, and how much higher a calibre he was as an individual just for being in the Bronze Lancers.

Looking over his shoulder, he eyed up his own spear, and wondered if the weapon itself could become a higher calibre. He unsheathed it from his back, and checked it over for a while, before walking over to Spanner to enquire about it.

"Say, Spanner? Is there anything you could do to tweak my Spear to make it better? I figure if Im going to be helping you, I may need to upgrade this old thing. Id say its been about 30 odd years since its last tune up". Gallon chuckled to himself. Better to keep up with the now, than stuck in the past he thought to himself.

Pain

As I (Eevee) kept watching the mecha knights coming closer, an explosion behind the mecha knights surprised me and them. The mecha knights were distracted for long enough so I could launch another thunderbolt to defeat 1 of the remaining mecha knights. The other mecha knight run towards me and slashed at my right arm. I tried to hold in the scream but it was so sore I couldn't. I fell onto the ground and tripped the mecha knight down. Unfortunally, he was getting shocked at that point and I started to suffer more pain...

Upgrade!

Spanner takes Gallon's spear and looks it over, eventually giving it a look of disdain. "You actually use this thing? It's useless!" He jabbed it at Jorin, who flinched in surprise as it harmlessly bounced off his armor. "Ow! Watch where you point that thing!" he exclaimed. Spanner tossed the spear into the garbage furnace and grabbed a nearby hunk of metal. "I think you need a new weapon." He began to hammer away, skillfully crafting a fine new blade for this stranger.

Why?

Perhaps because he cared, like Mother did.

Defeating the remaining robots...

((OOC: 1st person prospective as Metal Sonic...))

As I was watching the 2 remaining mecha knights, something hits me from behind and I turned around and saw a female almirian. I said to the female in a robotic voice "Why are you attacking me? I am an ally." I thought "More people to kill later..." In the middle of my thought, a scream could be hear and I turned around and saw the other female getting hurt by the last mecha knight.

I run towards the remaining mecha knight who was standing and I slashed at it. It turned around and tried to hit me but it missed. I start to move away from the female stuck in the corner and the mecha knight chased after me. I pulled my shield up to block the sword hit and countered with my claws, after a few cycles of this, I defeated the mecha knight and went towards the woman who had the cut. I said in my robotic voice "You OK?"

W-w-where is Bowie o-or the r-r-robot?

((OOC: This is from 1st person prospective also { means 3rd person mode }))

I started to get shocked when something slashes at the mecha knight. I look at the thing attacking the mecha knight when I looked at my cut. I thought "Where did Bowie go? He would be able to help me since he is a fellow valkyrie." { If anyone noticed Eevee, they would have noticed a faint line on her face showing she had a crush on someone. } I see the robot from before and it said "You OK?"

I stand up and said "Thanks for the help..." I close my eyes in the pain and when I opened them, I noticed a lot of blood in the place I got cut. I said to the robot "Do you have any bandages or anything to cover this cut?"

OOC : Well...

...let's say I won't answer if you haven't replied to Ophelia's actions yet, in which she is searching for Punch and Vise somewhere (I can't say they're in Haven or not since you control NPCs). You've ignored my mentioning of her for days now. I can keep up with the both of them very easily, but if you're having difficulties trying to keep track of both her and Naomi, then tell me that's the reason why you keep avoiding her.

Robot isn't a threat

The robot turned around and he seemed to be angry until I heard Eevee screaming. Before I could help, the robot rushed towards the remaining mecha knight and did unique moves to defeat the robot. I went towards Eevee who said to the robot "Do you have any bandages or anything to cover this cut?". I said "I have a rag, it's not much but it should be fine." I pull out the rag with the flamable liquid and I rubbed it into the wall so Eevee never got oil in her blood.

I then noticed a line on her face, it was faint but I thought "Eevee could have a crush but on who?" I said "Eevee, come out of this alley, I can't bandage you up here." I leave the alley waiting for the robot and Eevee to come out.

Spears of Woe.

Gallon could only hold out his hands, as a failed attempt at catching his spear, which was now being melted into a hunk of old metal. He couldnt even hang it up as a rememberance, since he knew he'd forget why he kept a hunk of molten steel in his abode after a while, and would end up throwing it away. He ran at Spanner, seeing to give him a word or two about just throwing away an artifact of a weapon, when a Vangaurd's foot gave him a trip to the floor, face 1st. The Lancer just lay there, with what wouldve been a string of smoke eminating from his head.

A faint mumble could be heard from his new-found laying down position,
"Just...Make sure its spear-ish. Im too used to the feel of Pole-arms than ordinary swords...".

Operation: Rescue. Too late, I suppose.

OOC: Like Thin said, try doing first-person with noting your character. I already forgot some people. :P

The person appeared to be busy. Then again, who wouldn't? He had just landed on an alien planet, had lost Vog-knows-how-many men, and had to set up a shelter, a place for rations, defense systems, probably negotiate with Fennel's kind...

Looking around, the Stranger noticed that the group had left. Walking towards the elevator, he clicked the button. MOST RECENT LOCATION. With a whir, the machinery sprang to life, and Fennel lowered down towards the heart of the Clockworks.

As the elevator plummeted, Fennel could hear commotion. Strangers mining for Energy, a Wolver here chasing a Snipe (only to be shot through the head a half second later. Don't mess with Snipes), and the sound of Gremlins building a new pathway. Passing Emberlight, the machinery slowed and finally came to a gradual stop, the sound of Constructs exploding in the distance. A crackle of electricity flared up the sky, only for it to plunge again into the low light lanterns the Gremlins toted around.

Running around a corner, Fennel came face to face with a bizarre scene. Dozens of shattered Mecha Knight bodies were everywhere, Bowie was missing, and in his place was a . . . robot?! It sliced apart a final enemy with ease, and turned towards Eevee, inquiring on her health.

Apparently, it wasn't attacking. Guess that meant it was on their side. Or was it?

Gremlins are VERY careful to try and keep machinery from going rouge. Only a few times has that happened, and the ones that did were always aggressive, attacking everything on sight. Of course, there are Mecha Knight Kits, but those seem to have a different color from the rest, and are usually inept at combat. By inept, I mean it's so darn weak that a Scuttlebot could kill it. So either it's still loyal to the Gremlin cause and is stealthily infiltrating, or it's practically a Mecha Knight Kit spawned. But . . . how could it have taken out so many? So confusing . . . Well, I'll give it a chance, but if it turns on use I will do unspeakable things to it.

"Little one, are you injured?" Fennel bowed at Eevee, extending a slender hand. Rummaging in his bag, he took out some of the fabric he bought and examined the injury.

While to go...

((OOC: When you see () in the paragraph, that means the people I see...))

I see another person coming into the mix and I thought "More people to kill!" I see the person trying to help the injured female and I said looked around but couldn't find the almirian (Gardevoir). I said to the 2 people nearby (Fennel and Eevee) in a robotic voice "I will introduce myself later when things calm down."

More pain

I was started to lose balance when I see Fennel trying to help me with the injury. I started to lose sight from all the blood I lost and fell onto the ground. I started to feel embarrassed...
