Island of Misfit Toys 9

[20:13]	`GM	[Picking up immediately where the last session left off, Jonah can be found storming out of the communications office in a sudden huff, much to everyone's surprise.]
[20:16]	Jonah	is seen cursing under his breathe the entire time on his way to the hangar.
[20:18]	Ai`	gingerly picks up miss Panzer and places her on the table, in the meantime.
[20:19]	`Panzer	brushes herself off and looks around suddenly.
[20:20]	`Panzer	"Ack, nein! Mine kanonen! Vere is my kanonen?!"
[20:20]	`Panzer	stumbles around on the table looking for it, tripping on her bad leg.
[20:21]	Ai`	quickly finds it and gives it to the tankgirl, observing her structural inefficiencies.
[20:21]	Ai`	Here you go.
[20:22]	`Panzer	snatches it from the android and looks it over for damage. It's already a rather unseemly piece of plastic; how she can find "damage" on it is beyond any but her.
[20:23]	`Panzer	begrudgingly looks at Ai.
[20:23]	`Panzer	"...Danke."
[20:23]	Ai`	nods.
[20:23]	Ai`	You are welcome.
[20:23]	`Panzer	quickly goes back to the inspection; it's not like she likes her or anything.
[20:24]	Ai`	scans its structure.
[20:25]	Ai`	"If desired, I can restore your 'kanonen' to mint condition."
[20:25]	`Panzer	glares angrily at Ai.
[20:26]	`Panzer	"No, nein! I trust no vone vith my weapon!"
[20:26]	`Panzer	"You'll only break it, you giant voman!"
[20:27]	Ai`	shakes her head.
[20:27]	Ai`	"I am capable of constructing nanoscopic arrays with perfect precision. Your weapon could only improve."
[20:27]	Jonah	"fucking stupid extraterrestrial beast, fucking stupid extraterrestrial robot."
[20:28]	Jonah	"fuck me staying with that bitch and thought she would be a pleasant company. Fuck no, sir. It's like I am living with a fucking miniature dragon."
[20:28]	Jonah	hops over the jeep and snatch the key, igniting the engine.
[20:29]	Jonah	"I have something I am good at too, bitch. I have something I am good at. I'm not just your personal punching bag!"
[20:30]	Jonah	's jeep almost fly as he step on the pedal
[20:31]	`GM	[Somewhere on the island, unbeknownst to all present, a colonel's eyebrows furrow in disapproval.]
[20:31]	Ai`	touches a fingertip to the table, but is frustrated when her energy stores and current data lack the capability to polish it. She hides her disappointment.
[20:31]	Ai`	"Shall we continue with the work, then?"
[20:32]	`Panzer	stuffs her arms in front of her and pouts huffily.
[20:34]	`Panzer	"Ve?! Who is ve?! Vere is ve?! Your Herr Moors has left! I vill not continue vithout everyone, ja!?"
[20:34]	`Panzer	"I do things vonce, not tvice!"
[20:34]	Ai`	frowns.
[20:35]	`Panzer	turns away and finds her smartphone keyboard, going back to whatever it was she was doing before all the normal-sized people arrived.
[20:35]	Ai`	"Specify objectives, and I can complete them precisely. No other intervention is required, and I will only perform the tasks stated."
[20:37]	`Panzer	utters something between and groan and a scream.
[20:38]	`Panzer	"OBJECTIVE EINS! FIND MOORS! SCHNELLER, SCHELLER!"
[20:40]	Ai`	"Very well."
[20:40]	Ai`	turns and leaves to seek any additional personnel by searching the house and radiating outward. While she isn't displeased, per se, she is certain of numerous ways this process could be made more expedient.
[20:40]	Jonah	[with haste, Jonah jumps down from the jeep as he arrived at the hangar.]
[20:40]	`GM	[The hanger is surprisingly large for a one-runway airstrip, though not exactly the prettiest or most organized. There's an impressive collection of planes and helicopters within, both military and civilian. Hardly enough to stage any sort of assault, but they'll get you from A to B.]
[20:41]	`GM	[Two men mill about inside near a rolling toolbox and spread-out array of engine parts. Like before, anything they touch becomes the exact opposite color that it's supposed to be, like a camera negative.]
[20:41]	Jonah	assaults the pilot's locker room and grab one of the suit and helmet set.
[20:42]	Jonah	"Let me borrow this."
[20:42]	`GM	[One of the men quickly stands up, a large spanner clattering to the cement in surprise.]
[20:43]	`GM	James: "Whoh, hey, hoh, hold on there slick! What's goin' on?"
[20:43]	`GM	James: "You're that new guy up at the house, yeah?"
[20:44]	`GM	[Neither of the men seem to be making any overt moves to stop Jonah from whatever it is he is doing.]
[20:44]	Jonah	"Basic recon mission. Prep the hornet."
[20:45]	Jonah	heads to the model that he's most comfortable with, F/A18 AKA Hornet.
[20:45]	`GM	[James takes off his softcap and scratches his light purple hair.]
[20:47]	`GM	Roland: "Uhh, kid, you don't just, TAKE, the Hornet out."
[20:47]	`GM	Roland: "Look, I don't wanna harp, but, well you're new here."
[20:48]	Jonah	is already in the cockpit and is starting his basic check-ups procedure.
[20:48]	Jonah	"If you're not gonna help then back off."
[20:49]	`GM	[James looks quite confused, busying himself with picking up the scattered tools. Roland on the other hand is advancing towards the plane slowly.]
[20:50]	`GM	Roland: "No, kid, if YOU ain't gonna help, YOU back off. Shut that bird down, now."
[20:50]	`GM	[Meanwhile, Ai manages to locate Kaitlyn, currently doing some that looks like sorting medicine bottles in the clinic.]
[20:51]	`GM	Kitkat: "Oh, ny'ello! Nyou're up early!"
[20:51]	Ai`	nods.
[20:51]	Ai`	"Good morning."
[20:51]	`GM	[The feline seems to be in quite the good mood.]
[20:52]	Ai`	"Could I get your help?"
[20:52]	`GM	Kitkat: "Oh? What's up?"
[20:53]	Ai`	"Miss Panzer demands additional assistants before repairing the communications room."
[20:55]	`GM	Kitkat: "Oh, that girl! She's great, ain't she? I wish I had a toy like that growing up, mya'know?"
[20:56]	`GM	Kitkat: "What's she nyeed now, someone to press Control-Alt-Delete for her?"
[20:56]	Ai`	keeps that little factoid stored away; she could manufacture similar once her energy stores are replenished.
[20:57]	Ai`	"She needs assistants to repair the internet connection."
[20:57]	`GM	[Kit stands up and removes her latex gloves, flexing her paws for good measure.]
[20:57]	`GM	Kitkat: "Nyeah, figured. Lead the way, then!"
[20:57]	Ai`	nods and leads their return to the communications room.
[20:57]	Jonah	disregards his threat and do a taxi towards the take-off runway.
[20:57]	Jonah	".....!"
[20:59]	`GM	[Roland actually makes to pull his sidearm, then quickly realizes the futility of it and dashes for the nearest jeep; ironically the one Jonah drove there.]
[21:00]	Liu	"H-hold on!"
[21:00]	`GM	Roland: "Jim! Dammit, Jim, get the Colonel, get him on the line NOW!"
[21:01]	Liu	shouts, sprinting toward the moving jet, skirt hiked up to her waist for mobility
[21:02]	Jonah	, hearing Liu's voice, remembers that he haven't locked the cockpit yet---
[21:02]	`GM	[Roland peels out of the hangar in the jeep, gunning for an intercept course in front of the jet, but swerves in shock when he sees Liu run past him from out of nowhere.]
[21:03]	`GM	Roland: "What the hell'd where SHE from?!"
[21:03]	Liu	"Excuse me!"
[21:04]	Liu	shouts, pumping fast enough to catch up to the plane, kicking up small bits of gravel from the ground
[21:04]	Liu	with screaming leap, she throws herself onto the plane itself, clamoring into the cockpit, sweating and gasping
[21:05]	Jonah	is too focused on launching procedure to care.
[21:06]	`GM	[Mizz Panzer looks over her shoulder when she hears the door open to the office again, with two people who are NOT Moors and Long.]
[21:07]	`GM	Panzer: "Was ist das?!"
[21:07]	`GM	Panzer: "WAS, IST, DAS?!"
[21:08]	Ai`	"Everyone I could find ready for work here. Liu and Jonah were nowhere to be found."
[21:08]	Ai`	replies calmly.
[21:08]	`GM	[Kitkat just shakes her head innocently and points furiously at Ai.]
[21:08]	`GM	Panzer: "OUT!! OUT!!"
[21:09]	`GM	[Panzer lobs a non-cannon shell at Ai from across the room. It falls well short of doing anything at all.]
[21:10]	Ai`	moves to exit but pauses at the barrier.
[21:10]	Ai`	"What should I do?"
[21:11]	`GM	Panzer: "Vhy can NONE of NONE listen to instructions?! I say bring the Herr Moors, you say, 'No, I von't do zat'!"
[21:11]	`GM	Panzer: "Incompetent robot! Broken robot! OUT!!"
[21:12]	Ai`	states, as she walks out:
[21:12]	Ai`	"He was unfindable."
[21:12]	`GM	[Panzer fires another shell which hits Ai square in the back of the head.]
[21:13]	`GM	Panzer: "OOOUUUUT!!!"
[21:14]	Ai`	goes to the kitchen for the immediate moment and plugs in.
[21:16]	Jonah	finished the checking, and do a 360-surrounding check. Even if he's in a blind rage mode, the security protocol has been pounded into him it all becomes automatic.
[21:16]	Jonah	"...You."
[21:17]	Jonah	groans as he notice Liu on the plane's chassis.
[21:18]	Liu	is busy clutching the seat, holding her legs, skirt still hiked, her face, hair, and shirt soaked in sweat.
[21:18]	Liu	"Wh..."
[21:18]	Liu	starts, still out of breath
[21:18]	Jonah	"Put the helmet on, strap yourself in."
[21:18]	Liu	"H-huh?"
[21:19]	Jonah	use a stern, unyielding tone. It's an order and he won't take any arguments.
[21:19]	Liu	unconsciously reaches up to her antlers, fumbling the buckle in place with her other hand
[21:19]	Jonah	"spare one. under the seat."
[21:20]	Liu	"...I don't think it'll fit."
[21:20]	Jonah	"JUST FUCKING DO IT."
[21:20]	Jonah	[the plane accelerates, and the speed rises to match 360KM/H.
[21:21]	Liu	yelps, flipping the helmet around in her hands and managing to wedge it half-on, stuck with her horns, before the acceleration throws her against the seatback
[21:21]	`GM	[Roland reaches the side of the plane just in time for it to accelerate well past him, leaving the jeep in its dust.]
[21:23]	Jonah	[and as the plane goes past 400, it kicks up the sky with a triumphant roar.]
[21:23]	Jonah	"Ha."
[21:23]	Liu	"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
[21:23]	Jonah	"Hahahahaha...."
[21:23]	Jonah	"Ahahahahahahaha---"
[21:23]	Jonah	"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
[21:24]	Jonah	[the hornet quickly rises in altitude, and soon the island can only be seen as a small patch of dirt on the ocean.]
[21:24]	Jonah	"The sky is my domain! It's my place!"
[21:24]	Jonah	"My fucking place, y'hear?! YEAH!"
[21:25]	Liu	"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"
[21:25]	Jonah	does a direct vertical climb, taking full G-pressure in his face.
[21:27]	Liu	"Uuuuuuhhhhhhhh!"
[21:27]	Jonah	follows that by a sudden decelerates with flaps on, causing the plane to hang helplessly on the air with almost no speed.
[21:27]	Liu	moans, squeezing the seat white-knuckled
[21:27]	Ai`	recharges the day's losses with some to spare before she realizes she should report this matter to "command", like her report to the Consensus regarding her world's loss.
[21:27]	Jonah	"How 'bout that, ha? HOW 'BOUT THAT!"
[21:27]	Ai`	disconnects herself and begins searching the mansion for the Colonel.
[21:28]	Liu	is started to tear up, for numerous reasons.
[21:29]	Jonah	let the plane free-fall drop!
[21:29]	Jonah	"AHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
[21:30]	Liu	lets out a scream at a pitch normally reserved for calling dogs
[21:31]	Jonah	is not Inubashiri Momizi, thus he has no dog-frequency sensitive ears
[21:32]	Jonah	ignites and do a 360 barrel-roll L-turn , grazing the water!
[21:33]	Liu	"WaaAaaaAAAaaaaaahhh"
[21:33]	Liu	is now openly crying
[21:33]	Jonah	's expression changes. He's more 'alive' than ever since he came to this island. His eyes flares up like an excited boy.
[21:34]	Jonah	digs up everything in his acrobatic maneuver book to display.
[21:35]	Jonah	does a skid, swerve, vertical spin, roll, immellmann turn, etc. All while laughing manically.
[21:36]	Jonah	"haah... haah..."
[21:36]	Jonah	levels the plane after he exhausts all his tricks.
[21:36]	Jonah	also levels himself.
[21:37]	Liu	is in the backseat, hyperventilating and crying, still moaning aloud, frozen completely. The helmet fell back in flight, but remained stuck to her horns
[21:38]	`GM	[The radio in the cockpit suddenly crackles to life.]
[21:38]	Jonah	"Whew. That sure work up a sweat."
[21:38]	`GM	ColonelWalt: "Jonah Moors. You will land this plane immediately. If you do not comply, you will be forced down."
[21:38]	Jonah	"oh bugger all. Here comes the papa."
[21:39]	`GM	[The Colonel's tone is non-existent. No emotion. Nothing. Just words. Cold, nearly-robotic words.]
[21:39]	`GM	ColonelWalt: "I repeat, if you do not land immediately, you will be forced down."
[21:40]	Jonah	[cold sweat runs through his back. He's in for the world of hurt.]
[21:40]	`GM	ColonelWalt: "Acknowledge."
[21:40]	Jonah	pfft
[21:40]	Jonah	checks the radio callsign that he doesn't bother checking when he get on:
[21:43]	Jonah	"Moors copy. RTB, ETA two minutes."
[21:43]	Jonah	mute the send button on his helmet.
[21:43]	`GM	ColonelWalt: "Acknowledged; 120 seconds, mark."
[21:44]	Jonah	"Guess I'm screwed."
[21:44]	Jonah	"But at least I made you scream like a pansy, eh? That at least worth it-"
[21:44]	Liu	slowly calms to loudly sniffling, punctuated by the occasional whimper.
[21:45]	`GM	ColonelWalt: "Yes, Jonah Moors, you ARE."
[21:45]	Jonah	"bugger!"
[21:46]	Jonah	fumbles around. why is it not muted ;_;
[21:46]	`GM	[The Colonel's voice responds, despite the radio mute being fully functional and activated.]
[21:49]	Jonah	assume it's the plane's EWACs or something. Without further messing things up, he decide to be silent.
[21:49]	Jonah	[now Liu's sobbing is the only thing that fills the cockpit, giving Jonah a tad bit of guilt.]
[21:49]	Ai`	cannot locate the Colonel, and after watching events outside, ascertains that he likely will know long before she can make it to the island's control tower. She returns to the comm center to see if she can locate Kat, or at least remain on standby.
[21:50]	Ai`	, in the absence of the Colonel, makes sure to tell Kat of the difficulties in completing her assignment. Afterwards, she inquires as to whether she can help her with her work, since Panzer seems obstinate.
[21:51]	`GM	Kitkat: "Did'chya check EVERYWHERE? I myean, there's more to the island than just the house, mya'know!"
[21:52]	`GM	Kitkat: "Sounds like they're doin' something exciting over by the planes!"
[21:53]	Ai`	"The distance is far, and I do not know enough to pilot any vehicles on this island. I have determined that any business to occur will complete before my arrival at the control tower unless I can acquire faster transportation."
[21:53]	Ai`	"A 'jeep', for example."
[21:54]	`GM	[Kat stifles a laugh and pats Ai on the shoulder.]
[21:55]	`GM	Kitkat: "Pssh, far? It's like a half-mile, that's easy! Don't tell me nya don't knyow how to run?"
[21:55]	`GM	Kitkat: "Better late than nyever!"
[21:56]	Ai`	ponders the answer "I have only observed walking, thus far, and have not dedicated time to processing faster applications of this body.", but reconsiders.
[21:56]	Ai`	nods.
[21:56]	Ai`	"Can you show me?"
[21:56]	`GM	Kitkat: "Sure can! Try to keep up, nyow!"
[21:57]	`GM	[The cat takes off running down the dirt path to the landing strip, occasionally turning around and running backwards to see how Ai's doing.]
[21:57]	Ai`	keeps up to the best of her ability. Running doesn't seem too much more difficult than a simple extension and exaggeration of walki-
[21:58]	Ai`	faceplants after the first few strides. She picks herself up with ease a moment later, and tries again.
[21:58]	`GM	Kitkat: "Woah, hey, myou okay back there! That looked bad!"
[21:59]	`GM	[The young woman runs to the android's aid.]
[21:59]	Ai`	"Falls cannot damage me."
[21:59]	Ai`	"Shall we continue?"
[22:00]	Ai`	prepares to continue running.
[22:00]	`GM	[Kitkat grabs Ai's hand first.]
[22:01]	`GM	Kitkat: "Myaybe, ahh... Myaybe we should, stick together, eh?"
[22:01]	Jonah	does so.
[22:02]	`GM	Kitkat: "Just in case, myou knyow?"
[22:02]	Ai`	"Alright."
[22:02]	`GM	Kitkat: "Your hand feels really nice, by the way. It's cool~"
[22:03]	Ai`	nods and offers a (slightly awkward) smile, then continuing on with the cat.
[22:03]	Ai`	"Thank you."
[22:04]	Jonah	[with perfect precision, Jonah landed with almost no landing gear resistance, smooth as silk.]
[22:04]	Jonah	[he then proceed to 'put the thing back where it was' and unlock the latch of his cockpit.
[22:04]	Jonah	and when he takes off his helmet, he notices.]
[22:05]	Liu	's dignity, and bladder, were apparently casualties of his little stunts.
[22:06]	`GM	[Colonel Samuelson is waiting in the hangar, accompanied by four of the negative-men. His arms are folded behind him, his eyes fixed on the cockpit.]
[22:06]	Jonah	thinks that it is the right thing to do to at least offer her a hand to climb off of there.
[22:06]	Jonah	"........"
[22:06]	Liu	takes it like a limp fish. Not only is she sitting in a small puddle, but her face is roughly the color of a tomato, her eyes squeezed shut.
[22:07]	Jonah	"you wanna, y'know, get out?"
[22:07]	Liu	stands, and nearly out of the plane as her knees buckle
[22:07]	Jonah	"!"
[22:07]	Jonah	reflexively grabs her. Falling down at this height's gonna be painful.
[22:08]	Jonah	"Oh boy here we go."
[22:08]	Jonah	carry her down, princess style. Though this princess smells like piss.
[22:13]	`GM	[Colonel Samuelson never takes his eyes off Jonah the entire time. His face is stern, but that’s no different than normal; his demeanor is even more impossible to read than usual, considering what “normal” senior officers would probably be like right about now.]
[22:14]	Liu	would be clinging to Jonah, but the best she can manage is being sort of limply draped over him
[22:22]	Jonah	put her don on the nearby seat, and then position himself in front of his current commanding officer.
[22:22]	Jonah	"....!"
[22:23]	Jonah	is profusely sweating, but say no word.
[22:24]	`GM	[The Colonel stares at him, also saying no word.]
[22:25]	`GM	[The Colonel then, without warning, pulls his Colt and empties the entire clip into Jonah’s chest, not missing a single one of the eight shots. Before the echo of the eighth is done, he’s already reloaded the firearm and holstered it, the spent magazine clattering on the hot cement.]
[22:25]	`GM	ColonelWalt: “And THAT, gentlemen, is why he is on this island.”
[22:25]	`GM	[EL FIN!]
