*******SIM START********
<Click> ::taps his foot:: ((what shall)) {{I do now?}}
[Gage] ::standing in the doorway to the hangar:: This is soooo not a good thing. ((Try to
talk her down, maybe...yeah right))
<Cryz> ...this' why we don't keep spare Sentinels just laying around... ::makes sure he's in
crystal form::
<Hazard> ::steps out of the armory with the biggest gun that was in there:: Hmm.. to go shoot a sentinel.. or go duck hunting..
[Gage] ::turning back to Cryz:: Maybe you should have said something sooner...:;to Sophia:: Um, Sophia? Why don't you set the Raptor down so we can talk about this?
<Dusk> ::forms her armor over her clothes:: ((actually liked this outfit..)) Somehow I don't
think talking's going to work
<Hazard> ::walks towards the hangar, looking over the gun::
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> Actions speak louder than word, o' fearless leader... ::chucks the
Raptor at the team:: Catch.
[Gage] Sophia, plea- Oh shit! ::dives back back into the base hallway::
<Click> ::runs towards the sentinal underneath the raptor:: ((gotta do)) {{something}}
<Cryz> ::blinks then tries to move to the side out of the way of the Raptor::
<Dusk> ::sends a blast at the raptor:: hope you have insurance ::moves back as she blasts to
try and get away from any main parts hitting her::
<Hazard> ::raises an eyebrow, seeing Gage jump out of the hangar and into the hallway::
Problem?
[Gage] ACTION> AS THE RAPTOR EXPLODES, CLICK IS BLOWN FORWARDS TOWARD SOPHIA, WHILE THE REST
OF THE TEAM ENDS UP BLOWN BACK INTO THE HALLWAY
<Hazard> Yep, problem.
<Dusk> ((not my day...) ahh..::flies back and hits the wall and slinks down:: yeah..just a
slight one ::starts to pull herself up::
[Gage] ::stands, looks at haz, brushing himself off:: Oh good, a gun. ::points toward the
hangar. Kill!
<Click> ::rolls forward:: time for a test ::jumps at the sentinals leg::
<Cryz> ::dents into the hallway, skidding::
<Hazard> ::steps over Cryz:: Sure thing, great plan. ::walks into the hangar::
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> ::kicks awackwardly, sending Click flying into the hangar wall::
Brave little techno-organic, aren't you?
<Dusk> ::growls and moves back into the hangar and brushes her hair back::
<Click> ::hits the wall and slides down::
[Gage] ::follows after Haz:: You okay, Cryz?
<Hazard> ::raises the gun, leveling it to aim at the sentinel's head:: Not exactly how I'd
describe him. ::pulls the trigger::
<Dusk> ::stays behind Haz and towards the wall and waits to see if it's totalled::
[Gage] ACTION> SOPHIA MOVES SLIGHTLY, THE SHOT GRAZING HER SHOULDER, DOING MILD DAMAGE.
<Cryz> ::pulls himself up:: Okay... round two...
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> Oh Haz...to afraid to face me without a gun?
<Dusk> Wow..great aim ::moves forward and sends two blasts at sophia's legs::
<Hazard> With a face like that? Let me blow it off first. ::holds the gun with both hands::
Out of my way or I'll shoot through you. ::starts blasting away at the sentinel's torso::
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> ::uses the sentinel's to mutant power counter-action protocols to
absorb most the impact from Dusk's shots::
<Eve> ::extends her metal claws from her fingertips and lunges at SS::
[Gage] ACTION> BEFORE HAZ OR ANYONE CAN DO MUCH DAMAGE, SOPHIA BLAST'S OFF THROUGH THE
HANGAR CEILING, HEADING OUTSIDE
<Click> ::stands up slowly:: ((next time i need a better plan of action))
<Eve> ::forms her wings and rockets upwards after SS:: I shall seize the sentinel.
[Gage] ::stops and looks up through the large hole:: Get outside, NOW! We can't let her go
anywhere!
<Hazard> Damnit, and she calls me afraid! ::runs to where the sentinel was standing and
makes a big jump to get up through the whole in the ceiling::
<Dusk> I'm guessing this is worse ::moves towards the hole and flies up and towards sophia::
[Gage] ACTION> AS THE TRIO FLIES THROUGH THE HOLE THEY ARE EACH MET WITH A BLAST FROM SOPHIA SENDING THEM FLYING BACKWARDS TOWARD THE GROUND
<Click> ::goes to exit the hanger through a door towards outside::
[Gage] ::follows Click, making sure he's powered up::
<Cryz> ::looks up through the hole:: Uhh... ::heads for the hangar door::
<Hazard> Ugn! ::tumbles into the base's outside wall, getting back up:: Just had to have
a pet sentinel. ::picks his gun back up::
<Click> ::looks up towards the sky trying to find the sentinal::
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> ::stands still in the cow pasture, awaiting the team:: Come on!
You must have more than that!
<Dusk> Ah! ::growls and is shot back hitting the ground:: that hurt.. ::blinks and starts
to push herself up::
<Cryz> ::hits the button to open the hangar door::
<Click> ::notices the sentinal and runs towards it::
<Hazard> Oh now I ain't walking out there and risk stepping in you-know-what just to kick
your machanized butt.
<Dusk> ::stretches her neck and stands up:: ow..yeah and she knows everything we can do to
her ::Rubs the back of her neck::
<Click> ::looks to Haz:: then shoot from there
[Gage] ::makes it outside and stops a ways from Sophia:: Dusk, Eve! We'll fall back and
blast at Sophia's upper body, while Cryz, Click and Haz take a more direct approach!
<Eve> ::stands up and nods:: Yes, sir.
<Cryz> ::runs out the door to the scene::
<Eve> ::fires a couple small rockets from her shoulder holsters::
<Hazard> Get closer to it first. ::stands his ground, firing at the sentinel again::
<Click> ::continues towards teh sentinal::
<Dusk> ::shakes her head:: whatever you say..::Mumbles and shoots a number of blasts at
Sophia's upper body::
<Eve> Alright.
[Gage] ::blasts at Sophia's head, carefully to avoid Click::
<Cryz> ::sharpens his form and forms spikes along his forearms, charging SS's legs::
<Eve> ::fires her weapons at Sophia's shoulder joints::
<Click> ::runs at the sentinals other leg::
[Gage] ACTION> SOPHIA MANAGED TO AVADES SOME ATTACKS, AND COUNTERACT DUSK'S AND GAGE'S
POWERS, BUT HAZ'S BLASTS AND EVE'S ROCKETS DO SOME MAJOR DAMAGE TO HER MIDESECTION, SLOWING
HER DOWN
<Eve> The target is now slowed... perhaps you should finish it.
<Cryz> ::slams his forearms at SS' left leg::
<Hazard> ::keeps on the already damage sections with his blasts, trying to rip her body
apart with them::
[Gage] ACTION> THE SOPHIA-SENTINEL TOPPLES OVER FROM THE COMBINED ASSUALTS.
<Dusk> ::crosses her arms:: ((completely useless without a gun..))
[Gage] <Dog> ::Runs out of the base, at the Sentinel, teeth bared::
<Click> ::grabs the sentinals foot:: ((this better work)) ::tries to absorb the sentinals
leg or foot or whatever::
[Gage] ::heads at the Sentinel, ready to cause damage with his enhanced strength::
<Hazard> ::halts his firing when the dog comes out and leaps near the sentinel:: Alright boy..I'll let you gnaw on some of it after we're down.
[Gage] ACTION> TAKING ON TO MUCH, CLICK GETS A MJOR DOSE OF ELECTRICITY AND FLIES OFF THE
SENTINEL
<Click> ::flies back into a fence:: that wasnt good ::stands up slowly::
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> ::sits up, takes aim, and fires at Cryz and the dog simultaneously,
sending them flying backwards:: Down boy!
<Eve> ::flies up behind Sophia and aims some more cannons at her:: Desist. Or else.
<Dusk> ::rolls her eyes slightly and sends an energy draining blast at Sophia to see if it
will do any good::
<Cryz> ::gets blasted back, skidding in the pasture::
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> ::tries to regain a stance:: Or else what? You'll use your little
pop gun on me?
[Gage] Dog. ::flies backwards, landing in front of Haz::
<Hazard> ...You shot my dog. ::glances at Eve, then back at Sophia:: And this is the else!
::raises his gun, firing wildly towards her upper body and head::
<Eve> ::fires all her cannons at Sophia:: Yes.
[Gage] ACTION> THE COMBINED ASSUALTS LOP SOPHIA's HEAD RIGHT OFF HER BODY.
[Gage] <Sophia-Sentinel> ::body collapses, head flying into a nearby stream::
<Dusk> Hope this thing doesn't work like a chicken ::moves closer to the rest of the group::
<Eve> I don't believe that will be enough... the head must be destroyed.
<Eve> ::flies towards the head::
[Gage] ::wipes the sweat off his brow, leans against the decaptated body of Sophia::
Well...that sucked.
<Hazard> Go for it. ::tosses his gun away, kneeling down by the dog::
<Dusk> Is he ok? ::Looks towards Haz::
[Gage] <Head> Malfunction...program...zzzzttttt!.....unit damaged....
<Cryz> ::picks himself up and eyes the downed Sentinel:: Okay, now what?
<Eve> ::lands near the head and aims a cannon at it:: On your order, Gage.
[Gage] <Dog> ::whines, but except for some exposed wires and singged hair is okay::
[Gage] ::looks toward Eve:: Do it...now...please.
<Eve> ::doesn't hesitate on firing the energy blast at the head::
<Eve> It is finished.
<Hazard> I doubt that. ::scratches the dog's head, then glances over at Click::
[Gage] ACTION> RIGHT BEFORE EVE FIRES A SMALL SPARK OFF ELECTRICITY HITS HER, BUT HER JOB
IS DONE. THE HEAD DESTROYED.
<Eve> ::glances at Hazard:: Believe what you will.
<Click> ::looks at the destroyed head, turns and walks towards the door inside::
<Dusk> ::sighs and runs her hands through her hair::
[Gage] ::surveys the damage:: Well, Smith ought to be mighty pissed.
<Hazard> And my belief is that Sophia's a computer program capable fo transfering herself
to safety. She went into the Sentinel, she could have gotten out. She could be in the base again,
or.. well.. there are a few present here that she could transfer into.
<Eve> ::without even looking at Hazard:: I know that was directed at me, Hazard.
My configuration would be able to detect an alien presense.
<Dusk> ::looks to Haz and then to Gage::
<Eve> ::looks at Gage:: Could I be excused, sir?
[Gage] Well, we'll have Click, Dusk, and Eve examined soon...okay? So just chill out,
everyone!
<Dusk> ::Blinks:: Hmm?
[Gage] oh, and you're dog, too, Hazard. ::walks toward the base entrance::
<Click> ::wanders inside then waits for Gage to enter::
[Gage] ::without looking at Eve:: You're excused, Eve. go...do whatever.
<Eve> ::nods and speaks quietly as usual:: Thank you.
<Eve> ::walks inside and heads for the gym::
<Hazard> Like I didn't realize that. Next time, how about a goldfish for a team mascot
instead, not a killing machine.
<Dusk> ::shakes her head:: ((guess I understand less than I thought)) ::moves towards the
base::
