[20:09] <Chamelaeon> <<SESSION THIRTY-THREE, FLIGHT A, TAKEOFF! REMEMBER, TO
AVOID HAVING YOUR MIND READ, SWITCH THE CONTROLLER TO PORT 2!>>
[20:09] <Atom> ( I'm playing the PC version. What do I do? )
[20:10] <Charlie> ( If it's Windows, it's already done it for you. )
[20:12] <Chamelaeon> <<(The) present day - April 7th. Present time, 0600 hours.
Present location - In an ATC "skimmer" spaceplane, approximately 2 feet off the
ground, closing in on Red Versailles.>>
[20:13] <Isis> ( Yay, we weren't launched out of a submarine. )
[20:13] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a vehicle/supply depot at the outskirts of town,
and it's your first stop on your tour of sneaky destruction. You've got about
two minutes till you hit the drop point. [/END EXPOSITION]>>
[20:13] <Charlie> ( "Fire torpedo one!" *foomp* "Iieeee!" )
[20:14] <Charlie> (Who do we have with us?)
[20:15] <Chamelaeon> <<There's the pilot, and uh... you and Isis. There are two
other spaceplanes for fire support on the way there, but that's it.>>
[20:15] <Isis> ( So we didn't get the extra troops after all, or they're
elsewhere? )
[20:15] <Charlie> (*nodnod*)
[20:15] <Chamelaeon> (Oh! Right. Sorry.)
[20:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Since the GM is blind, there are actually five people in
the plane with you, and another five on the plane behind you.>>
[20:16] <Charlie> (Ah, that's what I was lookin' for)
[20:17] <Chamelaeon> <<They have tested Positive for the sneaky gene. Most of
their suits are painted brown, and quite a few have recently added sensor
damping packs slapped on the shoulders.>>
[20:20] <Charlie> (Has anybody given us/me/them a rundown on what's goin' down?)
[20:21] <Chamelaeon> (They've been vaguely briefed, in that you two are in
command, they're going to have to be sneaky, and their first task is to
"liberate" some vehicles.)
[20:22] <Isis> ( SHould we be RPing, or is there more exposition yet? ^_^ )
[20:23] <Charlie> ( I was attempting to get more info on this trip of ours.
Didn't know if you'd be doing that.)
[20:25] <Chamelaeon> (I had thought you had everything you needed. <_< >_> Head
up through the behind, cutting landlines and causing mayhem as you go, faking
messages and trying to generally create the impression there's an attack going
on from the west.)
[20:25] * Isis glances at the pilot. "What's our ETA?"
[20:26] <Chamelaeon> <<The pilot glances at the screen.>> "One minute five
seconds."
[20:26] <Charlie> (ok, good enough. ^_~)
[20:28] * Isis nods, glancing outside. "I don't think this should be too
difficult. The Beans may be the Hippies' biggest fighting force, but their
strategy seems to be a bit lacking, leaving all these cities barricaded like
this."
[20:30] <Charlie> What are the defenses like around here?
[20:30] <Chamelaeon> <<The planes start to slow down, dropping back to about 40
kph. The doors open, and the jump light in the back changes from red to
yellow.>>
[20:31] * Charlie turns on the nifty cool chameleon skin. (chamelaeon skin?)
[20:31] <Isis> That's just it... there really aren't any. Hippies in suits are
keeping people from entering or leaving the cities, but the main force is just
sweeping across Red France.
[20:33] <Chamelaeon> <<The guys behind you start flipping switches and warming
up energy rifles. They nod at each other a few times, spouting some vague
bravado over the radio at each other.>>
[20:33] <Charlie> hmm, let's stir up the place then! *big smile*
[20:34] <Chamelaeon> <<The light changes to green! The me look up at you for the
go-ahead.>>
[20:34] <Chamelaeon> (+n)
[20:35] <Charlie> ( gogogogogogogoo!!!!!!11!one )
[20:36] * Isis glances back at the soldiers. "Nothing extraneous. Cause trouble,
but for the hippies, not the citizens. Don't put yourself in danger, we're not
here to retake cities by ourselves."
[20:37] <Chamelaeon> <<The men nod, and proceed to jump out of the plane one by
one, landing on the ground already running. You can see the troops in the other
plane doing the same.>>
[20:39] * Charlie jumps too!
[20:40] * Isis gets moving. *cue MGS2 theme*
[20:41] <Atom> ( Oh god. I have the MGS2 Skateboard theme stuck in my head, so
now I picture Charlie and Isis using Rad Skateboarding Skillz. )
[20:41] <Chamelaeon> <<When you hit the ground, the planes gain altitude very
quickly, leaving you two and your ten tropps alone, zooming towards a small
shack which looks to have been hastily erected against the outer wall of the
crater Red Versailles is built in. Sensors indicate a good twenty Hippies
standing guard, and not a Bug in sight.>>
[20:42] <Isis> ( I have Wind Ninja Skateboarding Skillz. Charlie has Mad
Skateboarding Skillz. It's a technique thing. )
[20:42] <Charlie> (guarding the shack?)
[20:43] * Isis turns on her sensor cloak. "This shouldn't be hard. S'probably a
DunnoShack."
[20:43] <Chamelaeon> (The shack and the vehicles surrounding it.)
[20:43] <Chamelaeon> (... DunnoShack. You've got questions ... we dunno the
answers.)
[20:43] <Charlie> ~righto~ *he sensor jams as well.*
[20:45] <Charlie> ~They don't see us.~
[20:46] * Isis nods. "Well, that's good. Are there any other snipers in the
team?"
[20:46] <Isis> ( I'm just going to assume Isis is using comlink and not standard
voice until I have something non-ATC issue to talk to. :P )
[20:46] <Charlie> ~couple o' dune buggies with the vehicles~
[20:47] <Chamelaeon> <<One of the other guys grunts at Isis's comment. He's
obviously a sniper. He has a long gun!>>
[20:47] <Chamelaeon> (Did you stop moving, by the way?)
[20:47] <Isis> ( Well, yes. )
[20:48] <Chamelaeon> (Just checking.)
[20:48] * Isis hmms. "Those might work to our advantage. Spread out and see if
you can hit the fuel tanks of the buggies. Hit from different angles so they
can't pinpoint a source."
[20:49] <Chamelaeon> (Remember you're going to need a couple of those.)
[20:49] <Charlie> (I'm gonna talk regular, but assume comlink as well.)
[20:49] <Charlie> We should take a few of the buggies.. The rest of the vehicles
look like junk.
[20:49] <Isis> ( If they only have two dune buggies for an entire city, I'll be
pretty surprised. )
[20:50] * Isis mmms. "Well, it doesn't have to be the dune buggies. Just try and
snipe something combustible to get their attention."
[20:50] <Chamelaeon> <<The guy grunts and walks off, fading into the rocks
around you.>>
[20:51] <Chamelaeon> <<About a minute later one of the trucks that looks to be
serving as part of a fence for the depot explodes in a glorious fireball.>>
[20:52] * Charlie heads off the other direction "They look like regular grunts,
but they've got some nice weapons."
[20:52] * Charlie hits another, soon after.
[20:52] <Chamelaeon> <<The other troops grunt appreciatively at the shot.
Sniping roll with all yer gazillion minuses, Charlie.>>
[20:52] <Chamelaeon> (assume zoom, too.)
[20:53] <Charlie> 2d6-6
[20:53] <Charlie> (no dice? (haw))
[20:53] <Chamelaeon> (oop.)
[20:53] * Isis shields her eyes. "Excellent."
[20:54] * Charlie will hit something on the other side from that last blast.
[20:54] <Chamelaeon> (Retry the roll.)
[20:54] <Charlie> 2d6-6
[20:54] * Atom rolls for Charlie (2d6-6) and gets 3.
[20:55] <Isis> ( I bet that hits. )
[20:55] <Charlie> ( but of course. ^_~ )
[20:55] <Chamelaeon> <<Another part of the wall explodes. The Hippies are
starting to fan out from the front gate.>>
[20:56] * Isis draws her sword. "Alright. Spread out in groups of two or so.
Take them down individually if you can."
[20:56] <Charlie> I'll go for a buggy.
[20:56] <Chamelaeon> <<The grunts nod, and, well, grunt. They take off down the
slight incline and across the plain to the city.>>
[20:57] <Chamelaeon> (Man, I keep thinking they sound like the three Karnov
heads from Spirited Away and it's messing with my HEAD.)
[20:57] * Charlie stealths hes way closer to them.
[20:57] * Isis nods at Charlie. "I'll see if I can get into their comm system."
[20:57] <Charlie> (his)
[20:58] <Atom> ( Oh GOD. Karnov heads. Oh god, Cham, I'm gonna kill you. )
[20:59] *** Zegon (Zegon@12-213-43-67.client.attbi.com) has joined #atc
[20:59] <Chamelaeon> <<The Hippies notice the troops, finally, and rush to meet
them. They ignore Charlie, but one of them notices Isis and rushes to attack!
Preemptive strike, Isis, since he's rushing.>>
[21:00] <Isis> ( Wait, that means I get to attack first? )
[21:00] <Chamelaeon> (Yup.)
[21:00] <Isis> ( Okee then. )
[21:00] <Isis> 2 2d6-4
[21:00] * Atom rolls for Isis (2 2d6-4) and gets 3 1.
[21:00] <Isis> ( Those both hit, yep yep. )
[21:02] <Chamelaeon> <<Hippie puree. I bet you've missed this, yeah. Isis turns
from combat to see another Hippy there! He takes a shot with his Bug-provided
laser.>> 
[21:02] <Chamelaeon> 2d6-2
[21:02] * Atom rolls for Chamelaeon (2d6-2) and gets 6.
[21:03] <Chamelaeon> <<He of course, misses. Isis?>>
[21:03] * Charlie is by the vehicles at this point.. Once the shooting starts,
he shoots out some of the tires on vehicles with air filled tires. pop!
[21:03] <Isis> 2d6-2
[21:03] * Atom rolls for Isis (2d6-2) and gets 6.
[21:03] <Isis> 2d6-4
[21:03] * Atom rolls for Isis (2d6-4) and gets 6.
[21:04] * Isis turns around, grins, and due to the laws of narrative says
"Tsukitomi modified style: Kogahazan,", knocks the hippie's gun out of his
hands, and slices into him.
[21:04] <Isis> ( Well, presumably, unless he dodges that first attack.)
[21:04] <Atom> ( .. The last three numbers I rolled were 6. Oh god, my dicebot
is posessed by Satan. )
[21:06] <Zegon> (Bah, Dicesuke made me roll six modified sixes in a row. First
session of MC2... It's not that bad. :P)
[21:06] <Chamelaeon> <<The Hippy looks very surprised when the blade cuts right
through his armor. And his torso. He flies backwards, landing nicely the wrong
way on his arm. The path is now clear to the shack, and the other Hippies have
their hands full with the grunts.>>
[21:07] <Zegon> (Go Grunts!)
[21:07] * Isis looks around for Charlie.
[21:07] * Charlie shoots out as many tires as possible, and goes for the nearest
buggy.
[21:07] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie's not really visible, but something's making one
of the dune buggies rock.>>
[21:08] <Atom> ( Must.. resist.. generic.. comment. )
[21:08] <Zegon> (Heh.)
[21:09] <Isis> ( *snicker* )
[21:09] <Charlie> Hey they left the keycards here! *he glances around*
[21:09] * Isis heads for the shack. Thank you, wireless communication. "Keycards
for what? The buggies?"
[21:09] <Charlie> (headed my way, Isis?)
[21:09] <Charlie> (ah) Yeah. We're good to go, here!
[21:10] <Chamelaeon> <<Meanwhile, the grunts polish off the Hippies. They trudge
over to the vehicle area, forming a rough semicircle. Sensors indicate another
clod of Hippies closing in from one of the city gates.>>
[21:11] <Chamelaeon> <<But they've got a little while to go.>>
[21:12] * Charlie visiblizes for a sec and orders a few grunts. "We need two
more buggies, you two *he points* grab one each and be ready to go"
[21:12] <Chamelaeon> <<The grunts grunt and go!>>
[21:12] * Isis keeps on heading into the shack. "I'm counting on you to handle
the perimeter, Charlie."
[21:12] <Chamelaeon> (What a name for a gas-station mart. "Grunt-n-Go".)
[21:13] * Charlie starts up the buggy he's in and drives it closer to the shack
(if he needs to).
[21:13] <Isis> (I'm sure they exist in Alabama.)
[21:13] <Zegon> (Freakazoid? :P)
[21:13] * Charlie points to another grunt. "You take this one. The rest of you
are on defense with me."
[21:14] * Charlie hops out.
[21:14] <Chamelaeon> <<Inside the shack is an ancient computer terminal. It's
_greenscale_, and textbased.>>
[21:15] <Chamelaeon> <<It's proudly logged into some schmuck's email. "Dear Ma,
doin' g8 spreading p33ce and <3 ... wait, g2g, somthin's wrong...">>
[21:15] * Isis raises an eyebrow and sits down at it(?). "Well... wouldn't it be
nice to be Vernon or Tim right now. Let's see what I can do. This may take a
bit."
[21:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Hacking roll, -1, and presume it takes you a bit.>>
[21:16] <Isis> ( I, uh... click all around looking for easter eggs hidden in the
animation! )
[21:16] <Zegon> (Good plan!)
[21:16] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie, those Hippies are closing in. About fifteen or
so - they're currently at long range and closing. Init?>>
[21:16] * Isis hmms at the screen. "I've got mail." *type-ity*
[21:17] <Isis> ( -1 as in, it's 1 point of penalty or one point of bonus? ^_^ )
[21:17] <Chamelaeon> (Dear Isis, how do you type with exosuit gloves on?)
[21:17] <Chamelaeon> <<One point bonus.>>
[21:17] <Isis> 2d6-4
[21:17] * Atom rolls for Isis (2d6-4) and gets 3.
[21:17] <Isis> ( hooray. o/` That succeeds. )
[21:18] <Charlie> d6+9
[21:18] * Atom rolls for Charlie (d6+9) and gets 10.
[21:18] * Isis makes a pitstop to AOL, looking for recipes for strange foul.
[21:18] <Isis> (s/foul/fowl)
[21:18] <Chamelaeon> (... <_< >_>)
[21:18] <Isis> ( Laughing Jackass under glass. Drool, drool. </1pt> )
[21:19] <Chamelaeon> <<Battle order: Hippies, Charlie, Grunts.>>
[21:19] <Chamelaeon> <<The Hippies make a collective effort to shoot at you, but
since you're likely using the vehicles creatively as cover, they manage to do
very little. Charlie?>>
[21:21] * Charlie sets up for a sniper shot. (Is there a leader, or one with the
biggest gun?)
[21:21] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a ShinyHed!>>
[21:21] <Charlie> (He's gone next round. ^_~)
[21:22] * Charlie has faded out, as well.
[21:23] <Chamelaeon> <<The Grunts return fire, dropping the Hippie number by
ten. The Hippies, for their part, are at least brave, if stupid, and charge
again. One of the grunts takes a shot in the shoulder and shrugs it off.
Something splashes over where Charlie was a few seconds ago. Charlie's turn
again.>>
[21:23] <Isis> ( AFK a bit. Dinner just arrived. )
[21:24] <Charlie> 2d6-5
[21:24] * Atom rolls for Charlie (2d6-5) and gets 3.
[21:24] <Charlie> (hits da shinyhed!)
[21:25] <Chamelaeon> <<The ShinyHed falls over. The grunts take the Hippies'
pause as an opportunity to slaughter the rest of them.>>
[21:27] <Charlie> How's it goin' Isis? We're sure to attract some attention with
that bunch.
[21:27] <Chamelaeon> <<Sensors are clear for the moment, though it looks like
the ones in the city are being smart and fortifying.>>
[21:27] <Isis> ( How IS it going, GM? )
[21:29] <Chamelaeon> <<Isis has gotten her pizza, er I mean broken through into
the main system, which is nothing but a very scaled back comms program.>> 
[21:30] <Chamelaeon> <<There's a list to the left of other terminals online,
named simply "Red $city 1", "Red $city 2", etc., for each of the six cities.
There's also a RedBean and a BlackBean.>>
[21:30] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "Let's see what we can do..." She goes for
RedBean.
[21:31] * Charlie scans the horizon for enemies!
[21:32] <Chamelaeon> <<The screen pops up "Now talking with ... RedBean. MSG:|
">>
[21:32] * Isis frowns. "That's probably not what I want." She hits Esc.
[21:32] <Chamelaeon> <<Nothing new, Charlie.>>
[21:33] <Chamelaeon> <<The screen goes back to the list.>>
[21:33] * Isis goes for Red Frimaire.
[21:34] <Chamelaeon> <<The screen pops up "Now talking with ... Red Frimaire 1.
MSG:| ">>
[21:34] * Isis cracks her knuckles (or tries). "Now, how to talk like an
idiot..."
[21:34] * Isis types: d00d, we gotz a problem. i think teh corps are here! need
help now plz
[21:35] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: OMG! How menny!>>
[21:36] * Isis grins. "Well, let's hope I'm not the one being played for a
fool."
[21:36] <Zegon> (5p|_33|< |_337?)
[21:36] <Zegon> (3|2|2, 5p33|< |_337?)
[21:36] * Isis types: no clue. wait a sec, IWHOASHIT
[21:37] <Charlie> (a/s/l?)
[21:37] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: !!! d00d uok?>>
[21:37] * Isis grins and lets it sit for a bit.
[21:38] <Chamelaeon> <<The list indicates two other Red Versailles comm
stations.>>
[21:39] * Isis hmms. "Let's see. Now for the decoy operation."
[21:39] * Charlie leans against a buggy wheel, since they're apparently huge.
[21:40] * Isis types: Hello, fellow child of God! My name is Brother Matthew of
WWJD Corp. Have you found your own personal relationship with Jesus?
[21:40] <Chamelaeon> <<The buggy wheel is squishy!>>
[21:40] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: ... OMG d00d u cant be seriuz>>
[21:41] * Isis types: Oh, but I am! Like a good shepherd, I had to clear some
wolves out of here, but I'm sure as a lamb of God you understand. My brethren
and I will be ministering to your friends here in Versailles. You are welcome to
join us!
[21:42] <Isis> Warm up the buggies, Charlie. We'll hit another station here in
Versailles once these idiots take the bait.
[21:42] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: stop jkoing ima tell teh BEams on u, frank.>>
[21:43] <Charlie> You heard her. Everybody in the buggies. We're on the move
soon.
[21:44] * Isis types: I am sure your friend "Frank" will want you to meet him in
Heaven, my brother, as will the others we had to... 'convert'. God be with you,
sir.
[21:44] * Isis finishes typing, cuts the computer and the desk in half, and gets
up. "Let's go."
[21:44] * Charlie hops in the buggy he was leanin' against. "Where to Isis?"
[21:44] <Chamelaeon> <<The last thing the computer displays is "Reply: OMG!".
The grunts are in the buggies, looking antsy.>>
[21:45] * Isis hmms. "We can hit another station here, or we can move on to
Frimaire."
[21:47] <Charlie> How'd the hacking go? We need to stir this place up any more?
[21:48] * Isis thinks. "I think this was just to spook them. Let's head for Red
Frimaire. We'll step up operations there."
[21:48] * Isis grins at Charlie. "I had the most interesting conversation. Tell
me, Charlie, have *you* found a personal relationship with Jesus?"
[21:49] <Charlie> Say what? *he turns to the driver* On to Frimaire!
[21:49] <Chamelaeon> <<The driver nods and FLOORS it. The buggy shoots out of
the depot on a beeline for Frimaire.>>
[21:50] * Isis shakes her head. "Nothing. Even if the bugs are giving them
landlines, their comm equipment is really outdated. The stations can even send
messages directly to the Beans. Our 'cover' is that we're a missionary unit from
WWJD Corp."
[21:51] <Charlie> Ha! Interesting.
[21:52] <Charlie> What say we send a message to the Bean we want from the next
base?
[21:52] * Isis nods. "Probably a good plan."
[21:52] <Charlie> Maybe send a cryptic message, then cut the land line?
[21:52] <Isis> Excellent idea.
[21:52] <Charlie> Or lines.. Who knows how many they have.
[21:53] <Chamelaeon> <<The trip to Red Frimaire is smooth - mostly sandplains,
which the buggies FLY through at speeds of like 100 MPH, easy. It's a completely
clear trip - you're not traveling along the landline, and thus avoid any sort of
contact at all until you're about a mile from the crater Red Frimaire's in. It's
a flat plain for miles and miles around, and there's a Hippy squad out
patrolling, it looks like. Ten of them.>>
[21:53] <Chamelaeon> <<Sensors indicate more in the shack against the crater
wall.>>
[21:55] <Chamelaeon> <<The have not yet seen you coming. Do you wish to make a
preemptive strike? (y/n)>>
[21:55] * Isis hmmms. "We could probably take them quickly. If we hit them fast,
by the time reinforcements arrive we could be in the city." She looks at Charlie
for his opinion.
[21:55] <Charlie> Yeah, sounds good.
[21:56] <Isis> (Y!)
[21:56] <Chamelaeon> <<Make yer rolls, then. There are two ShinyHeds, the rest
are grunts.>>
[21:57] * Isis draws her sword.
[21:57] * Charlie aims his auto.
[21:57] <Isis> We'll take the leaders. Kill all the grunts but one.
[21:57] <Chamelaeon> <<The grunts grunt.>>
[21:57] * Isis leaps to the attack! Or something.
[21:57] <Isis> 2 2d6-4
[21:57] * Atom rolls for Isis (2 2d6-4) and gets 2 1.
[21:57] <Zegon> (Wait. Your grunts, or their grunts?)
[21:58] <Chamelaeon> (Yes!)
[21:58] <Charlie> Leave the one with the big yellow flower then! *He attacks!*
[21:58] <Zegon> (Thought so. ^_^)
[21:58] <Charlie> 2d6-3
[21:58] * Atom rolls for Charlie (2d6-3) and gets 7.
[21:58] <Charlie> (1 hit)
[21:59] <Chamelaeon> <<The ShinyHed Isis attacks splortches. Charlie spears one
through the thigh. He looks unhappy. The grunts attack the grunts!>>
[21:59] <Zegon> (Grunt battle!)
[21:59] <Chamelaeon> <<The remaining ShinyHed aims at Charlie and fires.>>
[21:59] <Chamelaeon> 2d6-3
[21:59] * Atom rolls for Chamelaeon (2d6-3) and gets 6.
[22:00] <Chamelaeon> <<Ranged Defense(Personal), charlie.>>
[22:00] <Charlie> ( "(Personal)"? )
[22:01] <Chamelaeon> (That's the specialization for Ranged Defense involving
yourself, yes. I assume that's what you have.)
[22:01] <Isis> ( The specialty. )
[22:01] <Zegon> (Almost everyone gets ranged defense(personal).)
[22:02] <Charlie> 2d6-2
[22:02] * Atom rolls for Charlie (2d6-2) and gets 4.
[22:03] <Charlie> (win!)
[22:03] <Chamelaeon> <<The shot goes harmlessly over Charlie's shoulder. Isis'
turn.>>
[22:05] * Isis focuses on the one that just attacked Charlie, but doesn't take
any action other than assuming a defensive stance. "Quickly, my brothers! Show
them what Jesus would do!"
[22:05] <Isis> 2d6-4
[22:05] * Atom rolls for Isis (2d6-4) and gets 3.
[22:05] <Isis> (Vengeful Lian Hua. ^_^)
[22:06] <Chamelaeon> (Does that do damage?)
[22:07] <Isis> ( If he attacks me, I autododge and hit him back.)
[22:07] <Chamelaeon> (*nod*) <<Charlie's turn, then!>>
[22:07] <Charlie> 2d6-3
[22:07] * Atom rolls for Charlie (2d6-3) and gets 3.
[22:08] <Charlie> (I shoot whoever'snot being saved.)
[22:08] <Charlie> (4 hits, I think)
[22:09] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie polishes off the rest of the Hippies, excepting
the one ShinyHed. He, seeing this, decides it would be wise to run, and does
so.>>
[22:11] * Isis waves to the fleeing hippies. "Don't run away! We can show you
the light of Heaven!"
[22:12] <Charlie> heh! *team only of course* You gonna let him run then?
[22:12] <Chamelaeon> <<The ShinyHed does not have the Jesus in him!>>
[22:13] * Isis nods. ~ Let him run back. He'll doubtless spread rumors, and if
he talks to the other comm stations he'll find the guy I chatted up. ~
[22:13] * Isis waves to the grunts. "Back in the buggies, my 'brothers'. We'll
hit an alternate target and take out that depot."
[22:14] * Charlie nods and hops back in.
[22:14] <Chamelaeon> <<One of your grunts has died. How, nobody is sure. But
they load up his body anyways.>>
[22:15] <Chamelaeon> <<Are you attacking the depot straight ahead?>>
[22:15] <Charlie> (where's the shinyhed going?)
[22:16] <Chamelaeon> (Straight ahead, pretty much.)
[22:17] <Isis> ( We want a different depot, I think. He'll go back to his and
corroborate our 'story' with the others. )
[22:18] <Chamelaeon> <<There appears to be a depot a few miles away in a
clockwise direction around the city.>>
[22:19] <Isis> ( Let's go with that one, then, so we can wrap this up. ^_^ )
[22:20] <Chamelaeon> <<It's a quick ride there - sensors indicate forces inside
the city coalescing into a hunting force... that goes out the other way. The
depot looms ahead, a mere five Hippies inside it.>>
[22:20] <Charlie> I'm turnin' on ECM so they won't see us coming.
[22:20] <Chamelaeon> (You've got it on. Well, Sensor Invisibility, which is
better.)
[22:20] <Charlie> (roight)
[22:22] * Isis nods. "This should be a piece of cake. We'll slip in, message Red
Bean that we're headed for Red Vendamiere, and head out to meet him."
[22:22] <Charlie> (nevermind that last comment then)
[22:23] <Chamelaeon> <<The Hippies inside the depot don't notice a thing, until
they can actually HEAR the buggies. They come storming out!>>
[22:23] <Chamelaeon> <<And are cut down by summary gunfire. The depot is
yours!>>
[22:24] <Isis> Excellent. 
[22:24] * Isis heads inside to hack hack hack.
[22:25] <Isis> Charlie, try to find the land line connection. When I give the
signal, cut it.
[22:25] <Chamelaeon> <<This one is not actually in the mail program. Hacking
roll.>>
[22:25] <Isis> 2d6-3
[22:25] * Atom rolls for Isis (2d6-3) and gets 4.
[22:25] <Isis> ( hooray, success. )
[22:26] <Chamelaeon> <<The list comes up again. Charlie, roll to spot "Big
Honkin Black Cable at -12.>>
[22:26] <Chamelaeon> <<That's a joke! Hah! The cable is easy to see.>>
[22:26] * Isis hmms. "Let's try drawing Black Bean here. He was the combat
heavy..." She punches the BlackBean selection.
[22:27] <Chamelaeon> <<It's big, and corrugated, and looks like it was extruded
out of something organic, which it was.>>
[22:27] <Chamelaeon> <<The screen pops up "Now talking with ... BlackBean. MSG:|
">>
[22:29] * Isis dumdedums. [ Hello, Mr. "Black Bean". Have you found a personal
relationship with Jesus? ]
[22:29] * Charlie has gone to find the land line! (slight delay there ^_^;)
[22:30] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: Stop fucking around with the goddamn comfeeds,
twit. Official business only.>>
[22:30] * Isis grins. [ Sir, such language will not let you in to see the divine
light of Heaven. Please think, in this situation, What Would Jesus Do?(tm) ]
[22:33] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: What the hell? God damn it, what the hell are you
doing over there?>>
[22:34] * Isis nods. "Hook, line, and sinker." [ Dear Mr. Black Bean, I had
hoped we could establish a dialogue. Sadly, we couldn't reach one with the poor
heathens here, and so we sent them on their road to divine judgement. Won't you
please let God into your heart? Or else? ]
[22:36] <Chamelaeon> <<Reply: I don't have a heart. Soon enough you won't
either. What would Jesus do? Remember, Jesus died, pigfucker.>>
[22:36] * Charlie gauges the strength of the line.. and nods "This should do
it.. Whenever you're ready, Isis."
[22:37] * Isis smiles. "This has been such a pleasant conversation. A shame to
end it. Get ready, Charlie." [ Oh dear, oh dear. I guess some sinners need to
learn the hard way. If you're still interested in our divine message, lamb of
God, please meet us in Red Vendamiere. But for now, it's best if we make sure
your flock here can contemplate in peace. ]
[22:38] * Isis hits the enter key with a flourish. "Cut it!"
[22:38] * Charlie places his left hand on the line... *BOOM* No more line.
[22:39] <Charlie> Nice big hole in the line now!.. I like this new weapon they
gave me.
[22:39] <Chamelaeon> <<Charlie's hand flashes in a spectacular light show, and
the line fractures right down the middle, releasing some sort of foul-smelling
ooze along with what looks like fiberoptic.>>
[22:39] * Isis grins and gets up. "Gas up the buggies. We'll have to take the
long way around if we want to avoid running into Black Bean or the hippie
front."
[22:40] <Isis> (I shoulda said Prarial. That way we could cut south. Ah well.)
[22:41] <Isis> ( Hmm. Actually... )
[22:41] <Charlie> (any grunts with me?)
[22:41] <Chamelaeon> (A few.)
[22:42] * Charlie says to the guys around him. "Alright. Let's meet back up with
Isis."
[22:42] <Chamelaeon> <<The grunts grunt.>>
[22:42] <Isis> ( Did we get that comm method that Vernon and Tim promised? )
[22:44] <Chamelaeon> (Yup. Ultra-low frequency.)
[22:44] <Chamelaeon> (Too low for the blockers to consider it a "message".)
[22:46] <Isis> ( And for them to intercept. Excellent. )
[22:46] * Isis heads for the buggies. "I think our best plan is to head
southwest toward Red Japan. We can have ATC rendeszvous with us and airlift to
the front."
[22:48] <Chamelaeon> <<The grunts follow.>>
[22:49] * Isis hops in a buggy. "If all goes well, Black Bean will head to Red
Vendamiere to face our little fictional WWJD Corp. force, and leave Red Bean at
the front."
[22:49] <Charlie> Let's hope so.
[22:50] <Chamelaeon> <<The grunts pile in, ready to leave. Gonna be a bumpy
ride.>>
[22:51] <Chamelaeon> (You guys done, then?)
[22:52] <Isis> ( I think so. )
[22:52] <Charlie> (yeah.)
[22:52] <Chamelaeon> <<SESSION THIRTY-THREE, FLIGHT A, LANDED! THAT'S THE WAY TO
FUCK WITH THE STUPIDS!>>
