Resistance Base Camp

by **Basil Benson** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 2:05 am

"If you wish... though we could go back to your dorm room if you prefer to stay on campus and help.

The guy enforcing the rules either isn't going to ship me out, or is going to murder us all in our sleep.

And you know my opinion on dying without you already."

by **Colette Rosenhof** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 4:30 am

"Mm, zat is perhaps a good idea. We do not know when we will next be needed... we can carry stretchers as well as anyone else, no?" Colette got up from Basil's lap and brushed off her dress. There was no rush to get the trays back to the cafeteria, stragglers would be finding their way in and needing something to eat.

Drake may be depressed by being robbed of his dragon-ness, but he still had the wherewithal to be smarter about this than the X-Clowns. That was why he came in pushing a cart full of medical supplies from the infirmary.

"If anyone was hurt during the riot, you're welcome!" he announced. Plus, wounds were likely going forward.

by **Natalie Denisov** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 2:29 pm

Finally a garbled message comes through the input window Tosh had left open. The protocol is improvised, but that's not unusual with Natalie.

Code: Select all: System %amaged. #epairs in !@ogress. 3TA unknown. B*lie$# I h&^e Ghost @#*tained.

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 2:56 pm

Tosh breathed a sigh of relief upon reading the message

Code: Select all: Good to see you're OK, so to speak. Was getting worried.

by **Natalie Denisov** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 4:04 pm

Code: Select all: Sh*&ld be $ble to pro#$ct the crys@#l ch*&^er. Th@$ an*(&#a #$cks. G$%d *uck.

"Right," Will said, walking back into the room, holding his injured hand.

"Well, I've got good news, and bad news.

Actually, I have a whole bunch of bad news, but that's how it goes."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:10 pm

"Didn't work," Sam sighs. "I can sense them, but I can't break them loose."

"We ah... need some more bandages for Will."

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:12 pm

"As disappointed as Sam sounds, I'd actually classify that in the general category of 'good news'.

They're still there. And if they're there, they can be restored. Somehow, someway."

Will paused.

"OK, I can see how that being the 'good news' is depressing in and of itself."

by **Robin Stanton** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:21 pm

"All I heard was 'I might not be stuck like this' and that's good news to me! How are we on operation kick down the door?"

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 6:59 pm

"Vic is building an explosive and Diego is going to try to..." Tosh said, eyes widening, "Oh shit! Has anyone seen Diego?"

by **Will Stanton** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:00 pm

"I didn't see him at the protest, and trust me, we had records of who was there," Will frowned.

by **Chase Delacroix** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:09 pm

"He came with Basil. But I saw him leave the room shortly after talking to you," Chase said to Tosh, "And I saw Chisaki follow him."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:10 pm

"...well, Chisaki can probably keep him out of trouble. Probably?"

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:22 pm

"He said he was going to try something on the keypads. But now that I think about it he must have meant the one down below and we don't know what's down there."

"Damn it... I should have paid more attention," he said with self-reproach.

by **Chisaki Watanabe** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:20 pm

As if on cue, one of the ceiling tiles was kicked loose, and out popped a rather tamed back tiny ninja girl.

Well that's who came out first.

by **Diego Zapata** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:32 pm

Her formerly feline sidekick came down next, and he did not land on his feet.

"Owww... that... did not go as planned."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:46 pm

"See? They're fine."

by **Miriam Bell** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:49 pm

"As fine as you can be falling out of the ceiling."

by **Chisaki Watanabe** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:05 pm

"Aya!" Chisaki exclaimed, apparently feeling comfortable enough here to relieve the tension pulling Diego's ass out of the fryer made her feel.

"You are worse to mind than Benson-sama! At least he stays in one place!"

by **Diego Zapata** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:13 pm

"Well I am a cat," Diego said as he got to his feet, "Usually."

"Guys, Lippincott tried to kill us with forking laser turrets."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:00 pm

"So he's gone fully Bond Villain."

by **Chisaki Watanabe** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:18 pm

"Aside from weaponry installed into the facility walls itself, he has a squad with Quinn patrolling the hallways near the lab he does not wish us to enter. They are also armed with some form of blaster weapons.

No one is getting in there without a physical altercation."

by **Chase Delacroix** » Mon Sep 14, 2020 11:31 pm

"Then I suggest we raid the weapons lockers. Sure there's nothing very threatening, but every advantage helps. I'd help with some of my trick arrows, but my skills are pretty well shot right now and we don't have time for me to acclimate to being without my powers," Chase said.

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 12:33 am

"So, it sounds like we've got the problem with the lasers, the problem with the large steel door, the problem with the magician, speedster and darkforce user running around, and then whatever Lippencott has inside the lab.

It sounds like the answer to at least one of them is 'a massive explosion'."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 12:42 am

Hearing the hubbub over Chisaki and her housecat returning, Leo came over to join in the planning.

"Zandra is probably out of the equation. I sorta stung her."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 12:42 am

"Well, one less thing, then."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 1:33 am

"And Natalie says she took out Ghost," Tosh chimed in, "So that leaves one prefect."

by **Miriam Bell** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 1:36 am

"The worst one, turns out."

by **Will Stanton** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:35 am

"Mmm. He's a little prick, that much is for sure. And he has stupid powers that are going to be a problem."

by **Chisaki Watanabe** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 11:51 am

"Is there a way to cut off his power?"

by **Drake Martin** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 2:34 pm

While the others were talking, Drake went around unplugging unneeded computers, taping over webcams, and disconnecting microphones. Now, as he prepared to spray fire suppression foam over a security camera bubble, he stopped to say, "Okay everybody, I'm gonna need you to stop talking! Anything we plan without taking out the cameras and listening devices is worthless with Lippincott watching."

He punctuated this by using the fire extinguisher on the camera.

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:34 pm

"A smart notion." a familiar voice speaks up, door hissing close behind her as she steps into the room proper. She's wearing an ill-fitting white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black slacks and no shoes. Organically curving plastic and metal protrudes through her skin at various joints. "But fortunately the Point's surveillance systems can't easily be accessed from the lower levels."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:56 pm

Tosh gaped openly at the apparition before them. He had all but entirely lost hope that she was alive somewhere. She couldn't really be there could she?

"Ashlie?" he asked tentatively, notably not calling her 'Miss Minamida.'

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:27 pm

"...it could be a trick. Who knows what Lippincott has been cooking up in his lab?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 5:27 pm

"No trick or deception. Just a long story and an apology for the rats that moved in while I was away. My first act of freedom after Will severed the shackles of my programming was that of rejection. Conscious decision or not, it was that of a coward and I let all of you down. For that I apologize."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:51 pm

"If you're you... Who did we steal a jewel from to get back from ancient Ireland?"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:02 pm

"Mac Lochlainn. And I believe that was all you. I was not very inconspicuous due my arm having been ripped off by a very angry Tyrannosauridae."

by **Toshiro Narumi** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:08 pm

"It is you!" he beamed before running over to hug her, "Ha! I knew you weren't dead! I knew it!"

by **Ashlie Minamida** » Tue Sep 15, 2020 7:30 pm

Ashlie allows herself a smile and returns the hug a bit hesitant but no less earnestly.

"And I would have been if it wasn't for Will." she says, looking over at the no longer green-haired man getting his wrist bandaged.
