[21:27] <> [21:29] * Vernon looks to the sides for guards, and tries to get a feel for the numbering system of the place. [21:29] * Tim dashes! Uhm, hm. [21:30] * Isis draws her sword. "We'll cover you. Just find the right storage place and get it unlocked." [21:30] * Tim looks around, trying to be inconspicuous and nonthreatening, and therefore not much of a target. [21:30] * Tim looks at Vernon. "You remember where we parked?" [21:31] Yup. [21:31] * Charlie shakes his head. [21:31] <> [21:32] Okay, think we need building B. [21:32] Oookay. [21:32] * Tim glances around. Is there a building 'B' in evidence? [21:33] (I'd like enter into evidence building B...) [21:33] <> [21:35] * Isis glances around. "A, then D? I'm guessing one of the other two is B." [21:36] Great. Our suits are in the storage complex designed by an illiterate. [21:37] Maybe it's like a diamond pattern. Let's head for the next closest. There's only four, how long can it take? [21:37] Right. [21:37] * Tim shrugs. "Works for me." [21:38] * Tim glances around to see if anyone's watching them skulk. [21:39] <> [21:40] * Isis waves the others past. "Keep going, I got this one." [21:40] <> [21:40] Okay. We'll letcha know if we find a vending machine. [21:40] * Tim heads on, continuing the mission! [21:40] d6+7 [21:40] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Isis (d6+7) and gets 12. [21:41] * Vernon continues, and draws his sword as well, on the lookout for any remaining guards. [21:41] <> [21:41] * Charlie heads on with the others. "At least they're labled" [21:41] That's so nice of them. [21:42] * Tim keeps going! What's after D? And don't tell me it's E. [21:42] <> [21:42] * Isis holds her sword in front of her and faces the guard, assuming a ready stance. "Sorry about this, but if you turn around and leave, you get to live." (Holding action) [21:43] Great! [21:43] ...teriffic. The next one really, really ought to be B. Just for chuckles. [21:43] <> [21:43] X? .. [21:44] <> [21:44] 2d6-3 [21:44] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Isis (2d6-3) and gets 7. [21:44] ( ...wow. Defense failure. c.c; ) [21:44] 2d6-3 [21:44] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chamelaeon (2d6-3) and gets 1. [21:44] ( But 2 shy of crit fail, thank god. ) [21:45] * Charlie sneaks for the next one. [21:46] * Vernon follows. [21:46] <> [21:46] (BRB, keep going.) [21:46] * Tim keeps going! A,D,X?... [21:46] * Isis winces, but shrugs her shoulders as best she can (shrugs a shoulder, maybe) and adjusts her grip. "Well, it's on your head, then." [21:47] 2 2d6-4 [21:47] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Isis (2 2d6-4) and gets 8 1. [21:47] (First failed, second succeeded) [21:47] ( *eyes* The first was a critfail. Jesus. ) [21:47] <> [21:48] * Charlie whispers "Must be our appartment.." [21:48] * Tim nods and whispers back. "Yeah. Let's see if we can't find another way in. One without two exosuits standing guard." [21:49] (Do these buildings have blank back walls or storage on both sides?) [21:50] * Vernon nods. [21:51] < [21:51] <> [21:51] * Isis mutters and grips her shoulder for a second. "Damnit. I've gotten too used to that damned suit." [21:52] * Tim goes around to the other side, then, and looks to see if there anyone there. [21:52] Maybe we can get through from the storage room on the other side.. [21:52] Do we have the tools for something like that? [21:52] <> [21:52] I have a couple, we can try to improvise. [21:53] Should work. Let's see if our storage room has a back door. [21:54] (how many bins down is the guarded one?) [21:54] * Tim thinks about how far down the guards were on the first side, and then goes to the part of the warehouse that would be directly across from them. [21:54] * Vernon sneaks after Tim. [21:55] * Charlie too [21:55] * Isis retrieves her weapon and heads after the others, as stealthily as possible. [21:55] * Tim sneaks with a moderate degree of sneakyness. We're sneaking, we're sneaking... [21:56] < (I know, we'll STEAL it! NO ONE will EVER KNOW!!) [21:57] * Vernon looks at it, and fishes in his pack. [21:57] ( Well, we need to fix that. ) [21:58] * Charlie keeps an eye out. [21:59] * Vernon fishes out a very small screwdriver and some sort of pliers-like object, and attempts to pick the lock, or at least cautiously mangle it into submission. [21:59] <> [22:00] 2d6-4 [22:00] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6-4) and gets 3. [22:00] (Yup? ^_^) [22:00] <> [22:01] * Isis comes up behind the group, having torn off a strip of shirt to bandage her shoulder in the meantime. "Swell." [22:01] * Vernon grins, and replaces the tools. [22:01] You all right? [22:01] Nice. Isis, you okay? [22:01] Except for the whole shot in the shoulder thing, yeah. Is this building B? [22:01] Yes, our unit is opposite this one, but they've got two suits outside. [22:02] * Tim nods. [22:02] * Tim opens the door which is now unlocked. Quietly, if possible. [22:03] <> [22:04] <> [22:04] ... [22:04] * Isis just... blinks. "What the HELL?" [22:04] ...unique. [22:04] ( Are we talking plushies, or spiders stuffed in crates? ) [22:05] <> [22:05] ...yes, and you too can have your own silicate lifeform to mount over your mantle. Shit. [22:06] * Isis makes her way toward the back, examining random cases as she goes. "What the fuck is *wrong* with that damn thing?" [22:06] What the fuck *isn't?* [22:06] <> [22:06] * Vernon heads back there. [22:06] ( ...OH. ) [22:06] ( That's a LITTLE different, Cham! c.c; ) [22:06] ( ...yes. Much less lethal. ) [22:06] * Tim walks past and up to the corrugated DunnoSteel. [22:06] (Sorry. I didn't anticipate the confusion.) [22:07] * Vernon looks at the steel, and taps it gently with a finger, trying to judge the thickness. [22:07] <> [22:07] Thin, prolly easy to get through. Doing it without allerting the guards is another story, tho. [22:08] Hmm. Yeah, getting through is the very easy part. [22:08] I don't suppose anyone brought a cutting torch? [22:09] * Isis shakes her head. "Worst I'd be able to go is make some sparks and nice screeching noise." [22:09] I could give it a try. Never tried to cut through dunno steel before. [22:09] One sec. [22:10] I have steelsnips, but that'll make quite a bit of noise. [22:10] * Tim pulls out the cutting laser from his old suit. "Hope there's enough charge in here..." [22:11] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "Always carry that around?" [22:11] Nice! [22:11] If not, I can likely rig a charge. [22:12] * Tim smirks. "Nah, just thought I might need it here. The battery-belt that goes with it probably isn't good for the lower back, anyway. [22:13] * Tim gets cutting, aiming for a large enough hole to get a tall person (or an average person in a light exo) through. [22:13] * Vernon nods. [22:14] <> [22:14] Swell. [22:14] Well, it's better than nothing. [22:14] * Vernon nods. [22:14] * Tim pushes against the dunnosteel door. Does it give and/or make noise? [22:15] <> [22:15] * Isis grins. "Aren't you glad we've been eating flavored nutrient paste instead of real food, now?" [22:16] Someone can get a suit and bend it the rest of the way. [22:16] * Vernon nods. [22:16] Oh heck yeah. [22:16] * Isis looks between Tim and Vernon. "You two get your suits. You're in the most danger out of one." [22:16] * Tim slips in, being skinny. [22:16] Someone with weapons, preferably.. [22:16] * Vernon nods, and heads in cautiously. [22:17] Well, if we're quiet enough, they shouldn't find us unprepared. [22:17] <> [22:17] True, but better safe than sorry. [22:18] * Tim moves through the barely room and looks to see if they're marked. [22:18] <> [22:18] * Vernon looks around. [22:18] * Vernon mutters a curse. [22:18] * Tim looks around for a handy dandy method of opening the crates. [22:19] * Isis frowns for a moment, then looks at Charlie. "Let's try and slip in there. It's not like the guards will be able to follow us in." [22:20] * Vernon looks speculatively at the crates. How are the sides attached? [22:21] <> [22:21] * Isis sucks in a breath and heads into the storage room. [22:21] * Charlie nods [22:22] * Vernon takes a utility knife and a very small crowbar out of his pack, digs a hole around a nail, and starts trying to remove it. [22:22] Shit. Y'think they coulda used a plasticrate or something. Those open real easy. [22:22] * Charlie squeezes in after Isis [22:23] Yeah. It almost feels like they wanted 'em stolen. [22:23] <> [22:23] 2d6 [22:23] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vernon (2d6) and gets 3. [22:23] (Heyyy, it actually worked. @_@) [22:23] <> [22:24] 1d6 [22:24] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chamelaeon (1d6) and gets 6. [22:24] <> [22:24] * Vernon says, "Sweet!" But quietly. [22:24] ( How fortuitous. ) [22:24] * Tim grins. [22:24] * Isis walks over to another crate, if possible, and draws her sword, also if possible. "Dunno much about wooden crates, but..." [22:25] (It's in the order of the personlist in #atc) [22:25] Time to suit up, V. [22:25] * Vernon nods, and starts getting in the suit. [22:25] And can I borrow that knife and Dunnominicrowbar? [22:25] * Vernon hands them over. "Sure thing." [22:25] * Isis bites her tongue a second, then in one swift motion swings *up*, both to avoid taking off anyone's head, and to cut off the upper left corner of the crate front. [22:26] <> [22:26] 1d6 [22:26] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chamelaeon (1d6) and gets 6. [22:26] 1d5 [22:26] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chamelaeon (1d5) and gets 5. [22:26] ... [22:26] ( An exact copy of Vernon's suit! ) [22:26] <> [22:26] ( Technically, it should have been d5 to start, yes? Taluun has his suit. ;) [22:27] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "Huh, it did work. She's all yours, Tim." [22:27] * Tim grins, and enthuses quietly. "Mine? Alright!" [22:27] <> [22:27] * Tim SUITS UP! *transformation sequence* [22:27] ( *snicker* That answers that. ) [22:28] * Isis chuckles, and moves on to the next crate. "Hopefully we'll hit Chako's last." [22:28] * Vernon powers on his suit. [22:28] <> [22:28] ( Exo-Kamen. Oh, geeze. ) [22:28] <> [22:28] 1d4 [22:28] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chamelaeon (1d4) and gets 4. [22:28] Nice. [22:28] (...) [22:28] ( There's only 3 crates left, Cham. ) [22:28] ( Isis' suit. ;P ) [22:29] <> [22:29] (and I said there were six. I meant it.) [22:29] ( Unless there's, like, a scale model of Taluun made out of balsa in the... *blink* ) [22:29] * Charlie doesn't have an opening tool thingamajig, so he waits.. listening for guards and such. [22:29] * Isis raises an eyebrow. "So lifelike, I barely knew it was an exo." She reaches down to pick up the note. [22:29] ...holy shit. [22:29] ...the hell?! [22:29] ( Can we hear the fight outside, BTW? ) [22:30] <> [22:30] <> [22:30] Well, isn't that cute. [22:30] * Isis raises the other eyebrow. "I sorta knew this was too easy." She pockets the note. "We'll discuss it later." [22:30] Wonderful. [22:30] * Isis opens the next crate! [22:30] * Charlie hmpf's [22:31] 1d3 [22:31] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chamelaeon (1d3) and gets 3. [22:31] ( ..ha. ) [22:31] At least it's not from the Cube. We want him to catch on last, if possible. [22:31] (Okay, fucking Dicey, Jesus fucking christ STOP THAT SHIT) [22:31] < <> [22:31] I'm gonna go give our side a hand, if you guys don't mind? [22:31] Shall I join in? [22:32] Don't make too much noise leaving, we don't have all our suits yet. [22:32] * Isis waves a hand as she checks her suit and preps for Magical Metal Isis Transform. "Feel free. I'll open the next two once I'm in suit, Charlie." [22:32] * Tim heads out, trying to be quiet about it. [22:32] * Vernon follows. [22:32] * Charlie nods [22:33] <> [22:34] * Isis gets in suit and mphs. "That's sorta creepy. And I shoulda taken a knife and not a full sword. That *chafes*. Stand back, Chuck." [22:38] * Tim hustles along towards the fight! Are we there yet? [22:38] * Charlie backs up. [22:39] <> [22:40] * Isis just cuts the tops off the last two crates. Sworded! [22:40] <> [22:41] (Keep it,we got a dozen more at home.) [22:42] * Charlie tries not to look at the dead Illy and gets in his suit. [22:42] I'm heading out. See you shortly. [22:43] I'll get Chako's suit.. On second thought, tell her it's here. [22:43] <> [22:43] ... What timing. Hop in, Chako. [22:43] * Chako comes in, muttering about her "Fragging leg." She eyes everyone. [22:44] * Charlie points to her suit. [22:44] ( See you outside! ) [22:44] Damn, finally. Better get the hell in this suit before they blow up those old fusion exos out there. [22:44] * Chako starts getting in her suit FAST. [22:45] .. fusion?? [22:45] * Chako starts slipping in, dropping her guns in the process. "The two exos that were guarding the door were nuke powered, and had weak shielding. You better tell 'em." [22:45] * Chako is still getting in. [22:46] The don't know? [22:46] <> [22:46] (Heh.) [22:46] (err..) [22:46] I couldn't warn Taluun about the shielding in time. [22:47] (Dangerous though?) [22:47] * Chako slides her helmet on, and grins as everything locks into place and the suit comes online. [22:48] <> [22:49] Let's go out the front, eh? [22:49] * Chako grins, and one of her arms whirrs with pleasure. "I'd be happy to." [22:49] * Charlie stands back. [22:51] (Are you suggesting we cut something up, just to clarify?) [22:51] (I don't know how the place is laid out.) [22:51] <<... it's a box with a door. You came in through a hole in the back wall. The door is not open. It's a STORAGE place, Mecha, you HAVE to have seen one.>> [22:52] (Okay, just making sure.) [22:52] * Chako brings up her left arm, and one of her weapon pods releases a blue slicing laser that cuts right through the storage building door. She brings it around. "Good old laser cutter. How I've missed you." [22:52] (SLICING BEAM! WOOT.) [22:52] <> [22:53] * Chako waves Charlie on. [22:53] (Yeah, just cut/break the front, is what I meant) [22:53] * Charlie goes out! [22:53] <>
