[2010-09-30 17::09:41] Doink: [DATE: DECEMBER 1st, 2015]
[2010-09-30 17::10:06] Doink: [LOCATION: WARD HALL, ARKHAM, MASSACHUSETTS.]
[2010-09-30 17::11:39] Doink: Ruru Fields, after taking the day of school for some special sync tests (since Unit 05 is the latest model), returns home to Ward Hall to find that something things have changed in her short absence....
[2010-09-30 17::13:29] Ruru_Fields: rubs her hands as she comes in all bundled up in a huge puffy parka. She wrings her gloved hands togther. "Fucking freezing! How do you people live iin these climates? Can't I have my beautiful desert back now?" She asks with chattering teeth.
[2010-09-30 17::13:52] Kazimir_Prochazka: remains in his room, after Mia's little intrusion. He hears Ruru but thinks little of it.
[2010-09-30 17::14:37] Mia_Al-Misiri: is standing immediately outside Kaz's room, reading the magazine she took.
[2010-09-30 17::14:56] Dmitriy_Platonov: is in his apartments, unpacking his stuff. He is told that Ruru will visit him after she'll be free.
[2010-09-30 17::15:17] John_Kilanger: is still reading in his room
[2010-09-30 17::15:35] Henri_DEllaine: is still listening to jazz in his room and drawing awkwardly.
[2010-09-30 17::18:09] Mia_Al-Misiri: will remain standing immediately outside Kaz's room until she has finished reading the ENTIRE MAGAZINE (which will take her about 20 minutes) or if intruded upon.
[2010-09-30 17::19:03] Ruru_Fields: bangs through the kitchen loudly as she puts the kettle on, throwing her jacket somewhere to be taken care of later then stripping her gloves off and wrapping them in her scarf. "It sucks! You can't even wear anything cute! Is anyone listening to me?!" She calls out to the household.
[2010-09-30 17::19:31] Mia_Al-Misiri: shouts back, but doesn't move. She's on another floor.
[2010-09-30 17::19:33] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Hello!"
[2010-09-30 17::19:39] Mia_Al-Misiri: resumes reading.
[2010-09-30 17::21:50] Henri_DEllaine: With all the shouting, Henri is pulled out of the trance of music and work and realizes he's a bit hungry. He heads down to the kitchen to find Ruru making noise.
[2010-09-30 17::21:59] Henri_DEllaine: "So, how'd testing go?"
[2010-09-30 17::22:15] Ruru_Fields: grins at that.
[2010-09-30 17::22:53] Ruru_Fields: "I did fantastically, of course. What else would you expect from me? Who brought a girl home? Ya'll be workin fast.
[2010-09-30 17::23:50] Henri_DEllaine: grabs an apple to start chewing at. "Hah, oh, you know. Kaz and his glowing personality with the ladies.... But seriously, she's a new pilot. Someone finally came to replace whats-her-name, too."
[2010-09-30 17::24:25] Ruru_Fields: blinks a bit at that then scowls.
[2010-09-30 17::25:04] Ruru_Fields: "I don't like competition." She complains as her pot starts to whistle and she takes the kettle off the flame, making a cup of lemon tea for herself. "What's she like?"
[2010-09-30 17::25:43] Henri_DEllaine: "She's pretty nice, outgoing. Really likes jazz. You should go intoduce yourself." Henri takes another bite from the apple, chews, and swallows. "But seriously, how's everything doing down in the hanger?"
[2010-09-30 17::27:10] Ruru_Fields: whines a bit loudly. "I miss Kamemaru!" She intones then sips her tea. "It's fine, it's all fine." She murmurs. "Hmmm... Outgoing..." She tilts her head and thinks about it for a bit before brushing the hair from her face.
[2010-09-30 17::28:29] Henri_DEllaine: Chuckling a bit "She might just be enough to cancel out all of your weirdness. Maybe then you could pull off your little take over the school scheme."
[2010-09-30 17::30:00] John_Kilanger: decides to stop reading for now and go down to see Ruru
[2010-09-30 17::30:01] Ruru_Fields: slams her cup down and raises her nose into the air. "Hmph! I'll have you know people at school love me. I'm a track star -and- I'm getting good at lacross despite all this indoor training. I don't need your or anyoneelses help! You -will- all help me because it's in your best interests.
[2010-09-30 17::31:11] John_Kilanger: enters the kitchen and heads for the fridge "Hello Ruru."
[2010-09-30 17::31:35] Henri_DEllaine: "well, everyone likes Kaz and I because we have accents, don't see us bragging about it." Henri nods to John as he takes another bite from his apple.
[2010-09-30 17::32:44] John_Kilanger: john takes out a carton of milk and grabs a glass from a nearby cupboard and pours himself a glass of milk
[2010-09-30 17::33:16] Ruru_Fields: grins at John and then takes another refreshed and warmed sip. "Sup. Crap weather huh?" She smirks at Henri. "You guys just aren't interested in living the superstar lifestyle. Don't worry though, I'll share all my fringe benefits." She hrrrmmms a bit and sips her tea. "Does she hav bigger tits than me?"
[2010-09-30 17::35:28] Henri_DEllaine: caughs as a small amount of apple nearly becomes lodged in his throat. "I... fuck if I know? Why would you ask that?"
[2010-09-30 17::35:57] John_Kilanger: "I havn't paid much attention to yours or her's bust sizes to be able to do an on the fly comparison.
[2010-09-30 17::36:16] John_Kilanger: Maybe you should stand side by side so I can make a sound judgement
[2010-09-30 17::36:18] John_Kilanger: grins
[2010-09-30 17::36:42] John_Kilanger: "Clothes optional
[2010-09-30 17::37:52] Ruru_Fields: "Hel-lo~, earth to Henri, gotta keep up my baseline appeal with the natives."  She snerks loudly at John. "Yeah, cute. See if you can schedule a shoot with the photograpy club and put out a calender and maybe we'll talk."
[2010-09-30 17::39:33] Ruru_Fields: blinks a bit. "She's still upstairs isn't she?"
[2010-09-30 17::39:40] Mia_Al-Misiri: realises that people are actually doing things! She puts the magazine down in front of Kaz's door and goes down to meet the other idiots.
[2010-09-30 17::39:57] John_Kilanger: "I think so, yes"
[2010-09-30 17::40:00] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Hello John and Henri from France and other person!"
[2010-09-30 17::40:08] Mia_Al-Misiri: waves at each individually.
[2010-09-30 17::40:14] John_Kilanger: "Speak of the devil"
[2010-09-30 17::40:40] Kazimir_Prochazka: hears the magizine placed in front of the door and Mia's voice move away.
[2010-09-30 17::41:17] Henri_DEllaine: waves a bit to Mia, wiping apple bit off his cheek.
[2010-09-30 17::41:39] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Who is that?"
[2010-09-30 17::41:42] Ruru_Fields: beams amicably and tucks her bangs to the side. "Hi~! I'm Haru Ruby Fields. I hear you're a pilot too. It's nice to meet you." She extends her hand with her best politician smile.
[2010-09-30 17::42:09] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Oh! Hello, I talked to Kaz about you! He said you were weird!"
[2010-09-30 17::42:16] Mia_Al-Misiri: shakes her hand energetically.
[2010-09-30 17::42:25] Mia_Al-Misiri: "My name is Mia!"
[2010-09-30 17::43:18] Kazimir_Prochazka: grimaces at what he's catching of the conversation and opens his door. He takes the magizine and walks down with it.
[2010-09-30 17::44:15] Kazimir_Prochazka: speaks as he drops the magizine into the garbage: "I don't think anyone here will argue against that claim either."
[2010-09-30 17::44:24] Mia_Al-Misiri: breaks off the handshake and turns to Kazimir, still cheery.
[2010-09-30 17::44:30] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Hello *Kaz*!"
[2010-09-30 17::44:40] Mia_Al-Misiri: puts emphasis on the shortened name.
[2010-09-30 17::44:52] Mia_Al-Misiri: "I left the magazine about cars outside your room."
[2010-09-30 17::45:08] Kazimir_Prochazka: grunts at her answer and moves past her to the fridge.
[2010-09-30 17::45:15] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Tests go well?"
[2010-09-30 17::45:56] Ruru_Fields: looks to Kaz. "Weird eh?" She walks over to him and pinches his cheek. "Now why are you going and ruining my rep. Of -course- my tests went well. Who do you think I am? I'm not some loser who can't pilot Kagemaru."
[2010-09-30 17::47:43] John_Kilanger: has long since drained the last of his milk and is now just holding the empty glass
[2010-09-30 17::48:13] Mia_Al-Misiri: just stands there, watching.
[2010-09-30 17::48:25] Henri_DEllaine: finishes his apple. "Atleast you actualy got to test more than the usual once a week. I never had this much downtime in France..."
[2010-09-30 17::49:12] Kazimir_Prochazka: brushes her hand away. "What rep do you have to ruin here? We're still going to be ruining things in combat."
[2010-09-30 17::49:50] Ruru_Fields: raises her chin and hmphs a bit as she batts at her bangs.
[2010-09-30 17::49:54] Kazimir_Prochazka: "In fact, I asked the techs to load a markerlight onto my unit. Next time we'll be hitting them even harder."
[2010-09-30 17::50:31] Kazimir_Prochazka: finds nothing of interest in the fridge and instead begins filling a glass of water from the sink. "Figured I'd let you know."
[2010-09-30 17::51:09] Ruru_Fields: "You're really frustrating sometimes Kaz. It's not just about the fighting and the monsters you know. We're in -high school-, you could try and enjoy it more you know? Compete? Gain glory?"
[2010-09-30 17::51:37] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Oh! Do you go to school?"
[2010-09-30 17::52:38] Henri_DEllaine: "Where exactly does enjoyment and working incredibly hard to win the hearts and minds of fickle teenagers intersect in your mind, exactly? Especially ones as ambitious as you."
[2010-09-30 17::53:08] Kazimir_Prochazka: takes a sip, ignoring Mia, and speaks quietly: half to Ruru half to himself: "School was miserable for me back in Britain. I'll take the combat."
[2010-09-30 17::53:21] Mia_Al-Misiri: stops talking and withdraws a bit.
[2010-09-30 17::53:43] John_Kilanger: "Personally, I think you are drawing to much attention to us"
[2010-09-30 17::53:46] Ruru_Fields: grins to Mia. "Oh I better than -go- to school. I -own- school. You can come too if you wanna." She says in an encouraging tone. "These boys don't knwo what they're missing."
[2010-09-30 17::54:19] Kazimir_Prochazka: "John, we're in our own little seperate house in that place. I think we're infamous there regardless of what we do."
[2010-09-30 17::54:44] John_Kilanger: sighs "True"
[2010-09-30 17::54:50] Henri_DEllaine: "Oh come on, we're not that badly thought of. There's a decent amount of people who like us..."
[2010-09-30 17::55:49] Kazimir_Prochazka: "That they do, but I'm just pointing out that all we really need to do is just not go advertising that we're trying to stop the apocalypse or ragnarok or whatever from happening, not try our damnedest to be flies on the wall."
[2010-09-30 17::56:12] Ruru_Fields: sighs.
[2010-09-30 17::56:31] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Which means Ruru can have her schoolyard politics."
[2010-09-30 17::56:51] Ruru_Fields: "I'm not going to run around blaring 'Hey look at me I drive a giant robot' or anything. That'd just be stupid and polarising."
[2010-09-30 17::56:58] Kazimir_Prochazka: "But if you start parading yourself around as a ninja-mech-warrior I'll have to hurt you."
[2010-09-30 17::57:38] Kazimir_Prochazka: walks by Ruru and pats her shoulder. "What a good student. I'm going out to smoke."
[2010-09-30 17::57:47] Henri_DEllaine: "Personally, I'd just like to have us avoid Ruru sparking some kind of school wide house war..."
[2010-09-30 17::58:58] Henri_DEllaine: follows Kaz out for a smoke
[2010-09-30 17::59:27] Ruru_Fields: "Why would we want to avoid that! It's be the perfect opportunity to grab power! Setting foes to waste all their resources and being mercenary we could -be- the student council.
[2010-09-30 17::59:46] Kazimir_Prochazka: is outside and sees Henri following. "Let me guess: here to nab a cigarette and escape politics?"
[2010-09-30 18::00:07] John_Kilanger: "The thing is, your confusing "We" with "I."
[2010-09-30 18::00:21] John_Kilanger: plces his glass into the sink.
[2010-09-30 18::00:23] Henri_DEllaine: "God, yes. I can't stand drama. All of this power tripping is only going to bring us trouble."
[2010-09-30 18::00:29] John_Kilanger: "I'm going back upstairs, later"
[2010-09-30 18::01:03] Kazimir_Prochazka: hands him a cigarette.
[2010-09-30 18::01:30] Henri_DEllaine: takes it gratefully and lights it up.
[2010-09-30 18::01:52] Kazimir_Prochazka: "I'll be fine so long as she doesn't start milking the rest of us for favors. Besides, to be fair, we've got our own interests to persue."
[2010-09-30 18::01:55] John_Kilanger: lies back donw on his bed and picks up where he left off in the book
[2010-09-30 18::02:28] Kazimir_Prochazka: crosses his arms and smiles. "Like Harriet. Dear god, chtěl bych zničit, ze kočička."
[2010-09-30 18::03:08] Ruru_Fields: "You all suck." She rolls her eyes and kills her tea. "So Mia, where are you ffrom?
[2010-09-30 18::03:08] Henri_DEllaine: Harriet?
[2010-09-30 18::05:05] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Yeah Harriet. President of the mechanics club. She's definitely an interesting girl."
[2010-09-30 18::05:33] Henri_DEllaine: "Hah, I know the feeling. Just wish I could stop being so awkward..."
[2010-09-30 18::07:04] Ruru_Fields: growls at the mention of Harriet.
[2010-09-30 18::08:22] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Well...that's something you've got to figure out how to get over yourself Henri. Hell, I'll nervous once I get to the point where I can ask her out. Right now though? You've got to get to know 'em first.
[2010-09-30 18::09:03] John_Kilanger: stops reading for now to go see the Dmitriy
[2010-09-30 18::09:37] Ruru_Fields: "Or, you know, I could like ask for you and check to see if they would say yes first.
[2010-09-30 18::09:54] Henri_DEllaine: Laughing "i know, I know. But just... Jesus, have you seen my sketchbook? I'm terrible at drawing. Terrible. What possessed me to join an /art club./"
[2010-09-30 18::10:46] Kazimir_Prochazka: "To get better?"
[2010-09-30 18::11:32] John_Kilanger: "Hello Dmitriy"
[2010-09-30 18::12:17] Henri_DEllaine: "... well, we'll just have to see how it turns out."
[2010-09-30 18::12:21] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Oh, it's you, John? Hello!" - Dmitriy puts a box down on the floor and comes closer. - "Something happened?"
[2010-09-30 18::12:47] John_Kilanger: "Yes, Ruru should up a couple of minutes ago.
[2010-09-30 18::12:51] John_Kilanger: showed*
[2010-09-30 18::13:03] John_Kilanger: "Just thought you should know"
[2010-09-30 18::13:31] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Great. I thought she would came here on herself, but maybe I should go and meet her on "neutral territory." Thank you."
[2010-09-30 18::13:54] John_Kilanger: "Your welcome, now, if you will excuse me..."
[2010-09-30 18::13:59] Dmitriy_Platonov: leaves his room and follows into kitchen, where two girls are talking.
[2010-09-30 18::14:10] John_Kilanger: leaves to go join Kaz and Henri
[2010-09-30 18::14:16] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Hello, ladies."
[2010-09-30 18::14:25] Kazimir_Prochazka: nods at John's approach.
[2010-09-30 18::14:54] Henri_DEllaine: "Salut, John. How's the house? Safe yet?"
[2010-09-30 18::14:55] Ruru_Fields: turns and blinks at an adult!
[2010-09-30 18::15:00] Ruru_Fields: "Uhhh...."
[2010-09-30 18::15:08] Kazimir_Prochazka: "What about you John. Any girls at Miskatonic you have your eye on?"
[2010-09-30 18::15:25] John_Kilanger: "Maybe, I told Dmitriy that Ruru is here"
[2010-09-30 18::15:36] John_Kilanger: "Er... Not particularly?"
[2010-09-30 18::16:05] Kazimir_Prochazka: shrugs at that answer. "Fair enough."
[2010-09-30 18::16:19] Dmitriy_Platonov: "I assume you are miss Fields? I am Dmitriy Platonov, your new operations director. Maybe Mia told you about me. So, we're going to work together since now, and I came to meet you."
[2010-09-30 18::18:38] Ruru_Fields: blinks a bit more. "Ah. Okay." She extends her hand. "Please take care of me." She says with a politicians grin, using her other hand to tuck her bangs behind the opposing ear demurely.
[2010-09-30 18::18:54] Mia_Al-Misiri: was doing something somewhere else. She walks around Dimitriy and stands in front of him.
[2010-09-30 18::19:06] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Hello again Dmitriy."
[2010-09-30 18::21:14] Dmitriy_Platonov: shakes her hand politely. "Of course. It's my duty - to take care of you and to command you through combat incidents. Could you, please, tell me a little about you - what you find according to the moment and helpful in my work?"
[2010-09-30 18::24:44] Ruru_Fields: "Well, the important thing for you to know is that I'm pretty much awesome and I'm a pretty good shot. I move fast and I do my own thing. It's better to ask me nicely than to try and force me to do things."
[2010-09-30 18::26:12] Doink: [SCENE CHANGE]
[2010-09-30 18::26:49] Doink: [DATE: DECEMBER 4th, 2015]
[2010-09-30 18::27:13] Doink: Time, it seems, has finally caught up with Arkham. A mere four days after the introduction of new faces and already another, less-welcome figure has reared its head.
[2010-09-30 18::27:27] Doink: The call came in the early morning. The pilots were awakened by the alert tone blaring on their cell phones. It’s 4am. Within a half hour, they are already loaded in their Evas and flying towards the coast....
[2010-09-30 18::27:50] Doink: [LOCATION: INNSMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS]
[2010-09-30 18::47:25] Doink: It’s winter in New England, and there is a storm brewing, off in the distance. A light fog encircles the bay where your Evas have been dropped. Combined with the rain which patters against your armor, it obscures the sky, your only source of light the faint glow of clouds were you assume the horizon is and the light-amplification algorithms of your Evas. Without them, you would probably be blind.
[2010-09-30 18::47:39] Doink: The ruins of Innsmouth stand in a large cove on the Massachusetts coastline, sheltered from view by sloping hills on two sides and large cliffs on a third. On these hills stand the ruins of a small town, shops and houses reduced to weathered rubble. It’s been abandoned for years, you can tell, worn down by countless storms like this one coming in off of the ocean.
[2010-09-30 18::50:17] Doink: Miles away, in the command bunker, the conditions are much more pleasant. Director Platonov stands in the unfamiliar room, the watchful eyes of the Commander on his back from his chair above.
[2010-09-30 18::52:13] Doink: With a wet thud the Mobile Suppot structure thuds to the sand, opening up to reveal its cache of umbilical cables. Units 01, 02, and 03 follow, clad in strange, replacement armor—bulkier, and with what appear to be turbines attatched to strategic locations. And you could swear the new head armor looks like a rebreather...
[2010-09-30 18::55:08] Dmitriy_Platonov: leans closer to the microphone. "Good morning, pilots. It's time for work. According to our information, there is something in the water. The exact location is still unknown. Henri and John, you are outfitted with C-Type armor which provides complete protection in underwater environment, so you must go into the water, locate the AT-active object...
[2010-09-30 18::55:09] Mia_Al-Misiri: "I'm a spaceman!"
[2010-09-30 18::55:51] Henri_DEllaine: Under his breath "God damn it, I hate the morning and I hate the water..."
[2010-09-30 18::57:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: ...and report its nature. You should try to lure it out of water. Avoid direct confrontation, if it's possible. Be careful. Kazimir and Ruru, you are covering them with your fire support on the shore. Mia, you are in reserv. Your Eva unit is capable of going underwater too, but I hope it won't be necessary. So you just use your AT field assisting the group. Any questions?"
[2010-09-30 18::58:02] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Can I go swimming afterwards?"
[2010-09-30 18::58:42] Dmitriy_Platonov: "We'll discuss it later. It'll depend on the outcome of the engagement.
[2010-09-30 18::59:12] Henri_DEllaine: "So, don't die?"
[2010-09-30 18::59:36] Ruru_Fields: snorts. "We're gonna obliterate whatever." She says as she readies her battle rifle.
[2010-09-30 18::59:46] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Don't die, don't get hurt, return back with information."
[2010-09-30 19::00:15] Henri_DEllaine: "Well... at least I've got John at my back. You ready for this?"
[2010-09-30 19::00:46] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Affirmative. Will set up a killbox immediately. John, Henri: I wish you didn't have to go out there with those damned...harpoons."
[2010-09-30 19::00:47] John_Kilanger: "Ready as ever"
[2010-09-30 19::01:18] John_Kilanger: "hey, someone has to"
[2010-09-30 19::01:30] Henri_DEllaine: "Pointy sticks have been the most effective weapons through out all history, Kaz. It's the only thing keeping me in that water."
[2010-09-30 19::01:58] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Hodně stěstí, you two. Bring us a big fish."
[2010-09-30 19::02:20] Dmitriy_Platonov: switches the channel. "OD to the bridge. Got any new information about the target?"
[2010-09-30 19::02:35] John_Kilanger: Don't worry Ahab, I'll bring up Moby Dick.
[2010-09-30 19::04:00] Doink: Lt. Jackson speaks up. "Nothing. The ND phase-space transition is still stable. It’s here, alright. There’s AT field activity, but I can’t pinpoint it exactly. I think it's the storm, it's throwing off our readings."
[2010-09-30 19::04:36] Henri_DEllaine: focuses, spreading out that strange presence he feels in the eva, grasping out and trying to find something in the water, but to no avail.
[2010-09-30 19::05:12] Ruru_Fields: spreads her AT field to full power, the vibration in the air weaker than it normallyis by a significant ammount.
[2010-09-30 19::05:21] John_Kilanger: brings his AT field to full strength.
[2010-09-30 19::05:39] Dmitriy_Platonov: sighs, sips some hot coffee from a big cup with NERV logo and continues watching the pilots.
[2010-09-30 19::06:41] Mia_Al-Misiri: stands there. She thinks for a second and tries to recognise AT fields in the area. A slight goosebumpsey feel runs over the other pilots.
[2010-09-30 19::09:27] Kazimir_Prochazka: takes his time in spreading his AT field this time around, letting it cover him to it's fullest. Afterwards, he begins to scan his surroundings to check for a good vantage point.
[2010-09-30 19::09:28] Henri_DEllaine: The weight of Unit 03 shifts as it leans on it's progressive spear. Henri can't help but feel a little bit like Perseus waiting for the Kracken. "God damn this is creepy..."
[2010-09-30 19::09:44] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Oh! Okay I can feel it. It's over there, in the left of the bay!"
[2010-09-30 19::09:54] Mia_Al-Misiri: hovers a little bit off the ground and points.
[2010-09-30 19::09:57] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Commander, do you have any maps for elevation in this area? I need to find a vantage point. now."
[2010-09-30 19::10:19] Dmitriy_Platonov: "It seems to we have a more precise location! How far away is it, Mia?"
[2010-09-30 19::11:26] Mia_Al-Misiri: flaps a bit inside the entry plug. The Eva mimics this.
[2010-09-30 19::11:39] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Errr...."
[2010-09-30 19::11:48] Mia_Al-Misiri: points at where it is again.
[2010-09-30 19::11:56] Mia_Al-Misiri: "I am pointing right at it now!"
[2010-09-30 19::12:04] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Wait a second, Kazimir. I'll transmit them to you." - Dmitriy turns to some of the techies and orders him to do that.
[2010-09-30 19::12:16] John_Kilanger: "Mia, is it close, or far away?"
[2010-09-30 19::12:44] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Please, Mia, be more precise. But direction is good too. Don't lose it."
[2010-09-30 19::13:07] Ruru_Fields: moves off in the direction pointed, staying on the shore and hopping along as nessecary.
[2010-09-30 19::13:15] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Shit, if it's here we've got no time. Ruru, I'll take it from the right. You go left, and let's paint it as soon as it shows it's ugly face."
[2010-09-30 19::13:27] Mia_Al-Misiri: "It is quite far! Not close enough to walk to because it is too deep. But um, I don't know how to think of it in measurements! Just go down there and look."
[2010-09-30 19::14:18] Kazimir_Prochazka: then begins to take 04 around the perimeter of the area and crouches in a firing position angled out to sea.
[2010-09-30 19::14:19] Dmitriy_Platonov: sighs. "Okay. John, Henri, you have direction. Go for it."
[2010-09-30 19::14:35] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Ruru?"
[2010-09-30 19::15:03] Henri_DEllaine: "Well, my American friend, you ready to dive in?"
[2010-09-30 19::15:15] John_Kilanger: "WQell, nothing ventured nothing gained..."
[2010-09-30 19::15:26] John_Kilanger: "Ready when you are"
[2010-09-30 19::15:55] Henri_DEllaine: "Please, God, let's make it back alive from this..."
[2010-09-30 19::16:17] Henri_DEllaine: lurches Unit 03 forward and dives into the water with a "Viva la France!"
[2010-09-30 19::16:18] John_Kilanger: "I'd trust more in your spear and Eva"
[2010-09-30 19::16:41] John_Kilanger: jumps in after Henri
[2010-09-30 19::17:15] Ruru_Fields: "I'm here Kaz, already on my way out there." She says as she keeps on moving to the left till she reaches the end of her umbilical.
[2010-09-30 19::18:10] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Excellent. Commander, we're in position and ready."
[2010-09-30 19::18:18] Mia_Al-Misiri: looks around, still floating.
[2010-09-30 19::18:21] Mia_Al-Misiri: "What do I do now?"
[2010-09-30 19::18:53] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Good. Mia, maintain your protective field and continue pinpointing the direction, if you can."
[2010-09-30 19::19:33] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Okay."
[2010-09-30 19::23:23] Kazimir_Prochazka: begins to look around in 04, trying his best to use the four eyes in his head to his advantage. Finally, he gets tired of having the rain beat on his face and takes his evangelion's hand to shield his eyes from the rain.
[2010-09-30 19::24:50] Kazimir_Prochazka: thinks for a second he spots something...a ripple moving closer to the bay. Instinctively, he snaps on his markerlight and begins to follow it.
[2010-09-30 19::25:39] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Kazimir, did you see anything?" - Dmitriy's voice is surprisingly calm.
[2010-09-30 19::25:42] Doink: Whatever he saw, it is already gone. The light merely paints a stretch of ocean.
[2010-09-30 19::25:47] Kazimir_Prochazka: "THERE! THERE! Tango is moving towards the center of the bay! Use the markerlight as a visual trail to it. I'm not sure if the water's refraction will disrupt the targeting."
[2010-09-30 19::26:36] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Hovno! Target lost. Last known position is at these coordnates."
[2010-09-30 19::26:47] Kazimir_Prochazka: keeps the markerlight trained on where it was last.
[2010-09-30 19::26:57] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Was it underwater or in the air?"
[2010-09-30 19::27:16] Doink: The data comes in from the markerlight. It's approximately 60dm out
[2010-09-30 19::27:26] Doink: Or at least, it was.
[2010-09-30 19::27:39] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Underwater. All I saw was a ripple on the surface. It looked like it was diving down again."
[2010-09-30 19::27:56] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Orders?"
[2010-09-30 19::29:09] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Just wait, and be ready to open fire."
[2010-09-30 19::37:51] John_Kilanger: John's eva moves closer to the location where Kaz lost track of it, slowly getting used to the underwater environment.
[2010-09-30 19::39:39] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Roger."
[2010-09-30 19::41:08] Henri_DEllaine: Keeping a good, defendable distance from John, Unit 03 putters on through the water with it's comrade.
[2010-09-30 19::43:09] Mia_Al-Misiri: drifts her Eva back, keeping focused on where the monster is in the sea. She stands facing it next to Kazimir.
[2010-09-30 19::43:11] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Hello!"
[2010-09-30 19::43:55] Kazimir_Prochazka: keeps his eyes trained on the sea, ignoring Mia.
[2010-09-30 19::45:19] Dmitriy_Platonov: says patiently: "Mia, please, try not to distract your comrades."
[2010-09-30 19::45:41] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Okay!"
[2010-09-30 19::56:36] John_Kilanger: makes his AT field flare out as brightly as possible, hoping that it will be noticed by whatever is out there in the sea.
[2010-09-30 19::57:24] John_Kilanger: then takes a defensive stance in case the Angle attacks
[2010-09-30 19::57:31] Doink: Light pulses softly through the inky water as Unit 02's field flares, followed by silence.
[2010-09-30 19::57:32] John_Kilanger: angel*
[2010-09-30 19::57:48] Doink: And, then, a low rumble, from somewhere in the distance.
[2010-09-30 19::58:49] Dmitriy_Platonov: leans closer to his big screen, watching in anticipation.
[2010-09-30 20::00:31] Mia_Al-Misiri: shudders.
[2010-09-30 20::00:41] Mia_Al-Misiri: "That feels... funny."
[2010-09-30 20::01:53] Henri_DEllaine: While John lights up like a beacon, Henri sways off to the side, turning and readying his spear to charge anything that falls for the bait.
[2010-09-30 20::02:16] Ruru_Fields: :decides to test genre. "You know, for a night on the beach in a storm hunting monsters this sure is boring."
[2010-09-30 20::04:16] Dmitriy_Platonov: ignores the idle chattering, waiting for something to happen there, deep under the dark and murky waters.
[2010-09-30 20::04:48] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Quiet Ruru. Somethign will happen soon enough."
[2010-09-30 20::04:51] Mia_Al-Misiri: stops hovering and comes to a rest by Kazimir.
[2010-09-30 20::05:02] Henri_DEllaine: "Guys... guys, I think it's going for the shore."
[2010-09-30 20::05:41] John_Kilanger: "Yeah, I sense it too"
[2010-09-30 20::06:21] Kazimir_Prochazka: keeps scanning the ocean, hoping to catch a glimpse of the creature.
[2010-09-30 20::07:26] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Retreat then. Stay in the water, though - to avoid getting under fire. Your armor will be a hindrance out of water, too."
[2010-09-30 20::07:52] Kazimir_Prochazka: "No sign of it here on the shore."
[2010-09-30 20::10:32] Ruru_Fields: "'Soon enough' isn't nearly soon enough.
[2010-09-30 20::10:58] Doink: Or is it?
[2010-09-30 20::14:47] Doink: A dark shape flies out of the darkness towards Unit 02, which narrowly dodges to the side as the hulking form streaks past it.
[2010-09-30 20::15:40] John_Kilanger: "Holy hell, that was close!"
[2010-09-30 20::15:59] Doink: It's HUGE. An ovoid, fish-like shape at least twice the size of your eva, it's massive bulk covered in tiny tendrils which undulate weirdly in the inky blackness, driving it through the water.
[2010-09-30 20::16:06] Mia_Al-Misiri: "It's one of them!"
[2010-09-30 20::16:13] Mia_Al-Misiri: sounds more excited than scared.
[2010-09-30 20::16:39] Doink: It has no eyes, nor other facial features you can distinguish. Like before, it only has an elongated, distended maw filled with razor-sharp teeth
[2010-09-30 20::17:04] Dmitriy_Platonov: "John! Report your status! What was that!?"
[2010-09-30 20::20:27] Henri_DEllaine: "It was... some... tentacle fish... Fuck, what are these things?!"
[2010-09-30 20::21:14] John_Kilanger: "Oh god, keep it away from me! KEEP IT AWAY!!"
[2010-09-30 20::22:39] John_Kilanger: begins to see terrors all around him, big, small, all of them horrible abominations that assault all his senses
[2010-09-30 20::23:37] Ruru_Fields: "Dammit... just what we need..."
[2010-09-30 20::23:50] Kazimir_Prochazka: tries his best to remain calm: "John. Stay calm."
[2010-09-30 20::24:07] Kazimir_Prochazka: continues: "Just lead it to shore like in the plan. I've got your back, remember? Remember?"
[2010-09-30 20::24:21] Henri_DEllaine: "John, I'm right here, you're ok, everythings ok!"
[2010-09-30 20::24:25] Doink: From his perch above the Command Bunker floor, Commander Carter leans forward. "I see. So it has come this far already."
[2010-09-30 20::24:35] Dmitriy_Platonov: "John? John! Nothing of that is real! Stay calm, everything will be okay!"
[2010-09-30 20::27:32] Ruru_Fields: "You just have to let Kaz and I see it, if we can see it we can kill it!"
[2010-09-30 20::29:27] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Bullets killed them before."
[2010-09-30 20::29:45] Henri_DEllaine: "<French> I've got you, John!!" Unit 03 thrusts forward with precise speed, only to be rebuffed back with a flash of light as his spear head meets the creature.
[2010-09-30 20::31:57] Dmitriy_Platonov: presses a button, and John in his entry plug feels a short pain, when needle tears his skin, injecting some medicine, which somehow manages to regain his sanity... for now.
[2010-09-30 20::32:22] Dmitriy_Platonov: "It's okay, John. It's okay. Continue according to the plan."
[2010-09-30 20::33:00] John_Kilanger: The visions begin to recede as the drugs take hold. "Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
[2010-09-30 20::47:09] Doink: Just in time for the beast to whirl around in the water—much too fast for a beast its size, as if it folded into itself to do it—and streaks by again.
[2010-09-30 20::47:37] Doink: This time it strikes true, its sharp maw tearing at Unit 02's head, sheering off armor and leaving red blood floating up towards the surface.
[2010-09-30 20::50:21] Doink: Lt Jackson: "AT Field spike! We have a lock on it! We can send targeting data now!"
[2010-09-30 20::50:31] Doink: Lt Franklin:
[2010-09-30 20::50:49] Doink: "Massive trauma detected on 02! Critical damage!"
[2010-09-30 20::51:14] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Is pilot alive? Can unit continue operating?"
[2010-09-30 20::51:49] Doink: Lt. Franklin: "Yes. His Sync Ration is spiking!"
[2010-09-30 20::52:30] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Fine enough. Hold on there, John, the battle isn't over!"
[2010-09-30 20::52:49] John_Kilanger: "This. Fucking. Sucks..."
[2010-09-30 20::53:55] Henri_DEllaine: "Hold in there, John, I can draw it away."
[2010-09-30 20::53:58] Doink: From the shore, you can see a red stain appear on top of the water, followed by an eruption as what looks like a tail breaches the surface.
[2010-09-30 20::54:25] John_Kilanger: "I don't think so, I looks preety pissed at me..."
[2010-09-30 20::54:56] Mia_Al-Misiri: really has no idea what is going on.
[2010-09-30 20::55:04] Mia_Al-Misiri: "Is everyone alright?"
[2010-09-30 20::55:25] John_Kilanger: "Kinda..."
[2010-09-30 21::01:30] Kazimir_Prochazka: shouts over comms: "John, I'm laying down some suppressive fire to try and draw it away from you! Get your ass to shore and me and Ruru will take care of it!
[2010-09-30 21::01:58] Kazimir_Prochazka: despite his claims does little to harm the creature as the shots appear to bounce harmlessly away.
[2010-09-30 21::02:01] Kazimir_Prochazka: "This is a problem."
[2010-09-30 21::03:46] Dmitriy_Platonov: "It is protected by AT field. To guarantee dealing damage to it neutralizing the field is required."
[2010-09-30 21::04:25] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Again with the pseudo-magic. Fine, I'll bite this time."
[2010-09-30 21::09:53] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Ruru, I'm sending you some targeting data to optimize your shot. I hope it help you. Good luck!" - Dmitriy pressed another button then, biting his lip in frustration about being so far and almost useless to help those fighting children.
[2010-09-30 21::18:48] Ruru_Fields: huffs her hair out of her face with a puff of LCL, raising the BR to her Eva's shoulder. "Finally. Kagemaru? Show them what you do..." She says as she closes one eye and homes in on the red-dot sliding from her rifle to the monstrosity. "I am the target. I have already shot the target, it just doesn't know it yet." BANG!
[2010-09-30 21::19:38] Doink: A wet sound from the water. A chunk of something black flies up into the air.
[2010-09-30 21::21:13] Doink: It impacts the water with another wet thunk
[2010-09-30 21::21:53] Dmitriy_Platonov: "A good hit, Ruru!"
[2010-09-30 21::22:18] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Confirmed hit. Nice one Ruru."
[2010-09-30 21::26:20] John_Kilanger: "Damnit, I'm not going to die here! Come one Unit-2, LET'S SHOW THIS BASTARD WHAT YOU'R MADE OF!"
[2010-09-30 21::28:50] John_Kilanger: Johns eva Recovers from it's stunned state, and regains it composure.
[2010-09-30 21::29:51] Kazimir_Prochazka: cautiously advises: "John, please don't do anything drastic."
[2010-09-30 21::30:39] John_Kilanger: "But first, we have to get this thing to sure"
[2010-09-30 21::31:24] Kazimir_Prochazka: sighs: "Just don't do something stupid like dive into it's mouth to strangle it's asshole or something."
[2010-09-30 21::31:46] Henri_DEllaine: "You take lead, John, and I'll follow through."
[2010-09-30 21::32:12] John_Kilanger: Disengages from the mostrosity, and begins to slowly move to the shore so the others will have a better shot at it.
[2010-09-30 21::32:12] John_Kilanger: "Damn, hard to see with this gash in my head..."
[2010-09-30 21::32:44] Dmitriy_Platonov: "John, take a little to the right. Yes, like that!"
[2010-09-30 21::32:47] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Don't ever say I didn't tell you that melee is a bad idea."
[2010-09-30 21::33:05] Kazimir_Prochazka: stops off as Dmitriy speaks.
[2010-09-30 21::33:38] John_Kilanger: "How was I supposed to know this thing would fuck with my head?"
[2010-09-30 21::38:55] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Henri, take your aim. Transmitting targeting data... Damn, it was calculated for air environment, but it may still help..."
[2010-09-30 21::40:08] Mia_Al-Misiri: is pretty bewildered by everything that's going on.
[2010-09-30 21::40:26] Henri_DEllaine: Focusing his mind on tearing down the monster's AT field, Henri thrusts forward again with a yell, the humming tip of the progressive spear cutting through the field but just grazing the creature's hide.
[2010-09-30 21::43:45] Mia_Al-Misiri: decides that she should throw something at it! So she does. Her spear leaves her hand and at the monster.
[2010-09-30 21::45:46] Doink: The spear flies off into the water, where it seems to embed its tip in something just under the waves.
[2010-09-30 21::46:15] Mia_Al-Misiri: "I got it!"
[2010-09-30 21::46:17] Dmitriy_Platonov: "That was impressive, Mia! Good work, everyone, continue like that!"
[2010-09-30 21::46:29] Mia_Al-Misiri: "I only had one!"
[2010-09-30 21::46:38] Mia_Al-Misiri: doesn't sound deterred at all.
[2010-09-30 21::50:04] Doink: The spearhaft dips back down underneath the waves. This fight, it seems, is still far from over.
[2010-09-30 21::50:12] Doink: [SESSION END]
