[22:36] <Gamesmaster> It is 06:40 hours, 5th October, 3067. After disabling the engine, the cadets were breathing a sigh of relief, taking a moment to recover from their pitched battle with the enemy battlearmour. Without any communications from the command team, the squad was becoming worried that they were cut off from the command star. It was only then that Diersons comm unit blared into life, the sounds of a pitched battle blaring through the speaker unit
[22:37] <Gamesmaster> "This is Star Captain DeVega, we have made progress towards the bridge, enemy personnel cleared from habitation areas" the voice crackles, the sound of high powered autorifle fire being broadcasted from the background
[22:38] <Gamesmaster> "However the enemy has us pinned down, what is the situation over? We need more time"
[22:39] <Gamesmaster> Placing the receiver to his lips, Dierson responds in his usual blunt manner "Enemy has been eliminated, we have secured the objected. KF drive has been disabled. We will now move towards the communications dish to disable all internal communications."
[22:41] <Gamesmaster> "Neg" comes the reply. "We need immediate backup, the enemy has us pinned down with a heavy autogun enplacement. It appears the security system has been activated, and we cannot make progress" you hear a pause as more autorifle sounds explode form the receiver
[22:41] <Gamesmaster> now closer to the receiver
[22:42] <Gamesmaster> "Priority is to disable security bridge systems. It appaesr they have also bolted the bridge, both systems need to be overcome before we can breach and end this. With the system disabled, claws two and three will be able to reform and attack them from the rear quifaff? "
[22:43] <Gamesmaster> "Aff" comes Diersons reply.
[22:43] <Gamesmaster> "It will be done."
[22:43] <^Stephan^> We should redirect to eliminate those systems, Dorn. Perhaps we should regroup with Claw 2.
[22:46] <Gamesmaster> *The communication link closes*
[22:46] <Jacob_Dorn> If we can reach main engineering controls then we should be able to diver power away form the bridge.
[22:46] <Jacob_Dorn> That will shut out the lights at least
[22:46] <Gamesmaster> Dierson pauses, thinking
[22:48] <Gamesmaster> "We have already shut down the main kf drive. If we shut down the power, we will also be at a similar disadvantage" he says slowly
[22:49] <^Stephan^> Maybe we can ventilate the air form the bridge. Are there any airlocks on the bordgae?
[22:49] <^Stephan^> Bridge*
[22:50] <Gamesmaster> "Perphaps. Either way, although you spoke out of turn, a small team would have the most chance of success. The majority of the claws will also need to make speed to relieve the command star."
[22:51] <Jacob_Dorn> Closest thing we have to grenades is C8 we want to take out the Big Gun not blow a hull breach in the bridge.
[22:51] <Jacob_Dorn> Unless...
[22:51] <^Stephan^> Or rather can we access the enviromental controlls to the bridge from the engineering section?
[22:52] <Gamesmaster> "C8 is more than possible. Biorn brought several packs*
[22:52] <Jacob_Dorn> This is going to sound insane but...
[22:53] <Jacob_Dorn> We  could take a space walk and blow a hole in the Brige main observation.
[22:53] <Gamesmaster> "I am no lowly tech, I have no knowledge of this crafts onboard systems. Only that most bridges on such vessels have backup supplies"
[22:53] <Jacob_Dorn> Suck them out into space.
[22:54] <^Stephan^> If we get full acces, I am guessing that any backup systems can be overrided form the engineering, quiaff?
[22:54] <Gamesmaster> "If we can isolate the bridge crew from their personnel by taking out interior communications and monitoring systems, then they will be more easily overcome. That is a possibility Dorn, but the Command Star is our priority"
[22:56] <Jacob_Dorn> I tried to pop the hatch of tin man there... but no luck.
[22:56] * Jacob_Dorn points to the dead or disabled Battle Armour
[22:57] <^Stephan^> Interesing idea. How long does it take to suit up in the bettlearmour?
[22:58] <Jacob_Dorn> Should not take lon as most of the systems are already powerd up just a case of getting the guy in side out and some one outside in.

[22:58] *** IceVamp changed nick to ^Vane^
[22:58] <Gamesmaster> "Do you have any experience using battle armour?" Dierson asks
[22:58] <Gamesmaster> "I find such an image distasteful. Such actions are below a true mechwarrior"
[22:59] <^Stephan^> No, but I am guessing that even as a decoy to draw fore, the battlearmour would be very valuable, quiaff?
[22:59] <Jacob_Dorn> Not so much the suits operations but the weapon yes.
[23:00] <Gamesmaster> "If you can even disengage the locking combination. " he continues.
[23:01] <^Stephan^> We should at very least try, quiaff?
[23:01] * ^Stephan^ takes a look at the battlearmour
[23:02] <Gamesmaster> "You are the Surat, Cadet Stephan, so maybe it is your lot to pilot battlearmour"
[23:02] <Gamesmaster> states Dierson flatly
[23:04] <^Stephan^> Anyone here is as qualified as me, lead.
[23:06] * Jacob_Dorn walks over to the Battle Armour  looking for some form of data jack input.
[23:06] <Gamesmaster> A vein bulges for a second on Diersons head. "Do as you wish"
[23:06] *** Linus_Svenssen (~Linus@host81-155-132-3.range81-155.btcentralplus.com) joined
[23:07] <^Vane^> Claws.. Should we not move along? It sounded urgent.
[23:08] <Gamesmaster> "If we do without disabling the security system, we could be caught in the crossfire" Dierson states.
[23:10] <Jacob_Dorn> Here we go.
[23:11] * ^Stephan^ walks over to batlearmour
[23:11] * ^Vane^ crouches with a sigh, and checks over his equipment and weapons.
[23:12] <^Stephan^> Can oyu get it open, Dorn.
[23:12] * Jacob_Dorn pulls out his PDA and plugs it into the datajack on the suit
[23:12] <Jacob_Dorn> Hopefully
[23:12] <^Vane^> I can open it.
[23:12] * ^Vane^ rattles his cutting torch.
[23:13] <^Stephan^> We need it intact, quiaff?
[23:13] <^Vane^> Only the front.
[23:14] <Jacob_Dorn> Knowing out luck its Drac made and not Defiance...
[23:14] * ^Stephan^ sighs
[23:14] <^Vane^> Or something. I do not see the need at all. But carry on infantry.
[23:15] <Jacob_Dorn> If you cut it open from teh back you will fuck up the power pack
[23:16] <^Stephan^> Why would you carry it around, like scrap? Do you not comprehand what we are attempting to do?
[23:18] <^Vane^> It. Was. An. Insult.
[23:18] <Gamesmaster> *With a hiss, the battle armour shudders into life. With a lick and a hum, several large metal screws unlock, and the front panel slowly peels back to reveal the large form of its occupier. He moans, his eyes rolling almost open for a second, and then he passes out again.
[23:18] <Gamesmaster> *click
[23:18] <^Stephan^> I would recommand that claw 2 depart with haste and assist the command claw.
[23:19] <Jacob_Dorn> Give the guy a check... he gives me *pauses for a moment* creeps
[23:20] * Jacob_Dorn fiddles with his PDA again atemptin a systems check on the Suit
[23:20] * ^Stephan^ pulls out his gaus pistol and hits the occupant in the head with it.
[23:20] <^Vane^> Whoah! Hold fire!
[23:21] <Gamesmaster> *Dierson walks over, and forcibly pulls the man from the suit, dropping him onto the ground. In one quick motion, he binds the mans hands with cable ties taken from his utility belt*
[23:22] <Gamesmaster> "This one will not cause us any further trouble. He must be interrogated, it will be ultimately up to the Star Commander what happens to the prisoner. He could be useful as a bondsman to us if nothing else."
[23:23] <Jacob_Dorn> Ha put him in a Elemental Star with this thing, He would more likely last five minutes...
[23:25] <^Stephan^> So can we attempt to controll this thing or is it useless to us?
[23:26] * Jacob_Dorn fiddles with his PDA again atemptin a systems check on the Suit
[23:26] <Jacob_Dorn> Lets have a look.
[23:26] <^Vane^> This is taking too long. *impatiently*
[23:28] <^Stephan^> As I hav said, Claw 2 should leave. This is indeed talking too long.
[23:29] * Jacob_Dorn his PDA blinks for a moment
[23:29] <Jacob_Dorn> Ah ha! All Systems Nominal
[23:30] <Jacob_Dorn> So who wants to take this thing for a spin?
[23:30] * Jacob_Dorn gives a slight sinister grin.
[23:31] <^Stephan^> If there is noone else I will sacrifice my honour.
[23:32] <^Vane^> Right..
[23:32] <Jacob_Dorn> Ok soooo, SRMS are spent MG has onl half left but the LAser and Flamer are good to go.
[23:32] <Gamesmaster> "As stated, do as you wish. But make it fast. I grow tired of these games, and the Star Commander requires our assistance"
[23:32] <Jacob_Dorn> Fuck it.
[23:33] <^Vane^> Let one of the spheroids take it. It well lessen the dishonour of the Claw.
[23:33] <^Stephan^> Aff.
[23:33] <^Vane^> As a whole.
[23:33] * Jacob_Dorn packs his PDA away and clambers into the Suit
[23:34] <Gamesmaster> *The straps immediately tighten automatically around Dorn as he enters, and the suit requests permission to seal as it pulls him into the cushioned interior*
[23:34] * ^Stephan^ picks up the healmet and gives it to Dorn.
[23:34] * Jacob_Dorn grants persmision and starts the suit up
[23:35] <^Stephan^> Quicly Dorn.
[23:35] <Gamesmaster> *The exterior closes, and the suit reads several errors regarding life support functionality*
[23:36] <Jacob_Dorn> Good thing I am earing this Space suit...
[23:39] <Jacob_Dorn> Man this thing is lumpy....
[23:40] * Jacob_Dorn begins to move albeaint a little clumsy and ploding
[23:40] <^Vane^> Yes, that is obviously going to be a great asset.
[23:41] <Jacob_Dorn> Not very mobile, but I bet they will shit them selves when they see a Laserbeam or a Flamer burn off their brows...
[23:41] <^Stephan^> It will perform more than adequately for being fired at with low caliver anti infantry weapons.
[23:42] <^Vane^> Anyway, turning off life support on the bridge would not turn of security, right? What is our best course of action. Power down the entire vessel?
[23:42] <^Stephan^> So to the bridge.
[23:42] <Jacob_Dorn> Best get moving.
[23:42] <Gamesmaster> "May as well utilise it" you can hear a tone in Diersons voice which suggests a disatisfied tone of.. almost approval. "In that case, Cadets Vane, Stephan, Dorn, you will head towards the internal security room. Take Cadet Linus with you, he has electronics knowledge which could be useful."
[23:43] <^Vane^> Aff.
[23:43] <Gamesmaster> "The rest of us will procede immediately to the bridge"
[23:44] * Jacob_Dorn gives a thumbs up with the claw hand
[23:44] <^Stephan^> I would suggest that claw 2 attemps to knock out any system that may hinder the enemy and assist allys, while claw 3 heads toward the command claw as direct support.
[23:44] <Jacob_Dorn> Oh cool
[23:44] <^Stephan^> Aff.
[23:44] <Jacob_Dorn> I know the way guys follow me.
[23:45] <^Vane^> Neg. I will be in front. You are too noisy.
[23:45] <^Vane^> Just point the way at intersections.
[23:45] <Jacob_Dorn> then i will direct.
[23:45] <Gamesmaster> "Rest of you form on me, we procede immediately!" shouts Dierson, and the rest of the Claws move off
[23:46] <^Vane^> Alright, which way Dorn?
[23:46] <^Vane^> *checks weapon again*
[23:49] <Jacob_Dorn> There is a Elevator up ahead we need to take that then a short coridor then up a flight of stairs
[23:49] <Jacob_Dorn> Take it up that is..
[23:49] <^Stephan^> Aff.
[23:49] * Jacob_Dorn motons in the directon of the elevator
[23:49] <^Vane^> Aff.
[23:50] * ^Vane^ moves off in front to spot.
[23:53] <Gamesmaster> *The elevator looms in front of the cadets. It appears to be of the loading type, more than capable of sustained weight*
[23:55] * Jacob_Dorn tries to use the suits comms to open a one way coom chanel to recive only before boarding the elevator
[23:56] <Gamesmaster> *The comms are immediately floaded with panicked gibberish. Over the din, Dorn can hear one voice, calm, attempting to direct the noise. A mans voice, authoritive, almost arrogant*
[23:56] *** Ensalus (~Ensalus@16-118-178-69.gci.net) joined
[23:58] <Jacob_Dorn> Hmmmm
[00:00] <^Stephan^> We should Hurry
[00:01] <^Vane^> Can this thing hold *that* thing?
[00:01] * ^Vane^ nods at suit.
[00:01] * ^Stephan^ presses the "up" button
[00:01] <Jacob_Dorn> Its a freight lift.. so yeah
[00:02] <Gamesmaster> *The elevator slowly but slowly begins to rise. *
[00:02] <Gamesmaster> *A large, grinding noise can be heard, and the whole platform shudders*
[00:03] <^Vane^> I am not saying it makes you look fat..
[00:03] <^Vane^> But it does.
[00:03] <Jacob_Dorn> Not fat, its is Power.
[00:03] * Jacob_Dorn says in a mocking Drac voice
[00:03] <^Vane^> Also, that noise.
[00:03] <^Vane^> I do not like it.
[00:04] <Gamesmaster> *Even as Vane speaks, the sound intensifies, and the elevator shudders violently*
[00:04] <^Stephan^> It is a battlearmour. there is noting to like. It is a machine.
[00:05] <^Vane^> I meant THAT noise.
[00:05] <Gamesmaster> *WARNING: MOTOR FAILURE DETECTED. Now engaging automatic shutdown* a flat synth voice intones
[00:05] <^Vane^> See?
[00:06] * ^Stephan^ sighs
[00:06] <^Vane^> Dorn, open the door.
[00:06] <^Stephan^> Are we on hte correct level?
[00:06] <Gamesmaster> *The elevator continues, but bgins to jerk violently*
[00:06] * ^Stephan^ looks at doesn't BA looking for JJ's
[00:06] <Gamesmaster> *The screen errors, garbled text spreading across the screen as the synth voice sticks on the word detected, repeating it incessantly*
[00:07] <Jacob_Dorn> Oh god...
[00:07] * ^Vane^ hits the stop botton,
[00:07] <^Vane^> We are getting off here.
[00:08] <Gamesmaster> *The elevator does not respond and keeps rising*
[00:08] <^Stephan^> Dorn. can you jumjet with this mechanism?
[00:09] <Gamesmaster> "*Detected. Detected. Detected. Detected. Detected. Failure. Failure. Failure. Faiilllurre. Failllllurrre*
[00:09] <Jacob_Dorn> Sure.......
[00:09] <^Vane^> I do not like this.
[00:09] <Jacob_Dorn> Fail you in a miniute!
[00:10] * ^Vane^ looks for a hatch in the roof or similar.
[00:10] <^Vane^> Linus! Can you do something about this, technical(?), problem.
[00:10] * ^Stephan^ looks for a place ot grab on to the battlearmour
[00:10] <Jacob_Dorn> Lets do this Marrio! Hold tight...
[00:11] * Jacob_Dorn loudly wistles a tune as he engages the JJs on the suit!
[00:11] <^Vane^> Wait, what?
[00:11] * ^Stephan^ grabs on to the battlearmou very tightly.
[00:11] * ^Vane^ throws himself away rom the blast of the BA
[00:12] <^Stephan^> \\ PREPPARE YOUR ANUS
[00:13] <Jacob_Dorn> My anus was born ready!
[00:15] <Jacob_Dorn> To the MOOOOON!
[00:16] * ^Vane^ screams as he jumps away from the blast. FUCKING MORONS!
[00:17] <Gamesmaster> *With a roar, the engines engage, flooding the area with burning plasma as the BA of Dorn Rockets into the air. With a massive rending noise,  the BA BURSTS through the roof, smashing it aside. Dorn covers his head, attempting to shield himself from the sheer force of the kinetic impact but fails as his face is cut by the sharp steel*
[00:18] <Gamesmaster> *Stephan, screaming, holds on for dear life as the machine rockets upwards violently*
[00:18] <Jacob_Dorn> Yeeeeeeow!!!
[00:18] <^Stephan^> MJmjggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrf
[00:19] <Gamesmaster> *Lowering his arms, his gaze covered in blood, Dorn makes for the nearest exit, a closed elevator shaft door. Although reinforced, it is no match for the sheer bulk of the suit. It bursts apart in splinters of shards of metal as it gives way*
[00:19] <Jacob_Dorn> KNOCK KNOCK!!!
[00:20] <Gamesmaster> *Stephan lets go, his frame bouncing along the floor of the newly revealed corridor, tumbling towards a group of surprised and terrified security force which was heading down from the other end towards the freight elevator*
[00:20] <Gamesmaster> *With panicked screaming, the men fall over and begin falling back, firing wildy into the roof and screaming in terror*
[00:21] <Gamesmaster> *Below, Vane and Linus cling for dear life, witnessing the centre of the elevator fall away in molten, congealed slag*
[00:21] * ^Stephan^ trys to duck begind BA for cover.
[00:21] <Gamesmaster> *The elevator begins to lurch, wildly, as Vane struggles up from the floor accompanied by  Linus*
[00:21] <^Vane^> Shit, shit shit, SHIT
[00:22] <Jacob_Dorn> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhzI3Om9QIQ
[00:22] <Gamesmaster> *Stephan attempts to move but all he can hear is a loud ringing in his noise. Do i even exist? he thinks, as his brain struggles to comprehend his sudeen acceleration and decelleration*
[00:22] * ^Vane^ tries to get out of the lift the way the morons went. Using his magnetic boots to comply and get to the wall.
[00:23] <^Vane^> Linus! We have to get out of this steel coffin!
[00:25] <Gamesmaster> "Aff" he replies "Lead the way"
[00:27] * ^Vane^ reaches down to help Linus.
[00:27] * ^Vane^ after clambering up out of the lift.
[00:28] <^Vane^> Use your boots on the wall of the lift!
[00:28] * ^Vane^ fastens one of his legs to the wall of the elevator shaft.
[00:28] <Gamesmaster> "Aff" he replies , activating them and following along
[00:29] * Jacob_Dorn readys the flamer of the suit and unleashes Hell in their general direction...
[00:30] <Ensalus> /suddenly Dorn kills everyone\\
[00:30] <Ensalus> /including teammembers//
[00:30] * ^Vane^ helps pull Linus out of the lift.
[00:30] <Ensalus> \\CLAP CLAP\\
[00:38] <^Stephan^>  \\ Hilairity ensues
[00:39] <Gamesmaster> *Depressing the fire switch, the flamer of Dorns suit roars into life. However, even as it does so, the suit records a system pressure fault, and the spray of the nozzle disengages into a wide pattern rather thana constrained stream of fire. The entire corridor is bathed in flaming death, all of the security perosnnel being overwhelmed by the vehicle grade weapon
[00:39] <Gamesmaster> Their screams are short as they are soon carbonised by the intense heat, and the steel of the corridor itself lights up in a crimson orange glow
[00:39] <Gamesmaster> The smell of charged flesh washes up the now abalze corridor, alongside choking smoke*
[00:40] <Gamesmaster> *Stephan, attempting to dodge the fire, just manges to roll into a crevice near the central walkway, avoiding the majority of the blast. he screams out in pain as he feels his flesh begin to char, and passes out from the pain as his clothes instantly catch on fire*
[00:40] <Jacob_Dorn> Thank you backed potato...
[00:41] <Gamesmaster> *He rolls several metres, clear of the inferno of the corridor, and goes unconcious, even as the plastic of the walls begin to run*
[00:42] * Jacob_Dorn stares blankly at the bbq of carnage
[00:43] <Gamesmaster> *Dorns flamer reports a systems fault, and shuts off, its indicator going blank*
[00:45] * ^Stephan^ stars smelling like a baked potato
[00:46] <^Stephan^>  \\\ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPsY_nhTtxg
[00:47] <Gamesmaster> *Stephans clothes continue to burn as his rolling body comes to a stop*
[00:50] * Jacob_Dorn looks around for a fire exstinguisjher
[00:53] * Jacob_Dorn  looks at thearm with the flamer attached and spots  something odd about it, tanking a gamble he activates it and sprays it all over Stephan
[00:54] <Jacob_Dorn> Hope this it not more badwrong
[00:55] <Gamesmaster> *Depressing the switch, the secondary nozzle fires a jet of intense pressure water out of the nozle directly onto stephans prone body
[00:57] <Gamesmaster> the fire slowly goes out as Dorn continues the stream, directing it around Stephans prone form*
[00:58] <Gamesmaster> *Even in the suit, dorn can begin to feel the intense heat of the alight corridor*
[01:00] * Jacob_Dorn after Stephan has been dowsed he uses the remainder of the tank to try and put out the fires.
[01:03] <Gamesmaster> *The stream fires out into the fire, lowly but surely lessening it intensity. However, the area still burns,a lbeit less fiercly*
[01:07] <^Vane^> MEANWHILE
[01:07] * ^Vane^ looks around for a ladder.
[01:10] <^Vane^> Alright Linus, follow.
[01:11] * ^Vane^ starts climbing the ladder he spotted, proceeding to using mag boots after it runs out, making his way to the hole in the wall. Where there's lots of screaming.
[01:11] <Gamesmaster> "Hurry, I do not think the elevator will stay in one place for long!" he answers, attempting to find his feet
[01:11] <Gamesmaster> *It is not long before Linus and Vane haul themselves into the corridor. Meanwhile, with a screech behind them, the elevator finally gives way, dropping several floors back towards the engine deck*
[01:12] * ^Vane^ looks at the carnage beyond in disbelief.
[01:12] <Gamesmaster> *Slowly, and with a sputter, the flames slowly begint to die away, as Dorn continues the stream of water onto their position*
[01:12] <^Vane^> What the..?
[01:13] <Jacob_Dorn> Flamer malfunction....
[01:13] <^Vane^> I am of a mind to boil you.
[01:14] <^Vane^> Literally.
[01:14] * ^Vane^ kicks a leg on the BA.
[01:14] <Jacob_Dorn> Take a baked potato instead?
[01:14] <^Vane^> YOU MORON! Never do that a again!
[01:15] * ^Stephan^ still lies unconsious...
[01:15] <Jacob_Dorn> At least not with everyone gatherd around...
[01:15] <Gamesmaster> *Your headsets crackle* "This is Dierson, we are nearing the bridge. Confirm status"
[01:16] <^Vane^> **Aff. Not dead. Over.**
[01:16] <^Vane^> Where is the mutant, Dorn?
[01:16] <Jacob_Dorn> On the floor sleeping.
[01:16] <^Stephan^> \\ apparently sleepin is very relative :P
[01:17] * ^Vane^ looks around, spotting the toasty Stephan.
[01:17] <^Vane^> Oh..
[01:17] <Jacob_Dorn> Still alive.. just a little toasty...
[01:17] <^Vane^> **One casualty, Lead. Continuing to objective.**
[01:17] <Gamesmaster> "Confirm mission status, over" Dierson replies again, unsatisfied
[01:18] <Gamesmaster> ".. Say again quiaff?"
[01:18] *** Ensalus quit (Quit: Leaving)
[01:18] <Jacob_Dorn> **Potato is a little -brief pause- Baked**
[01:19] <Gamesmaster> "Is he alive?" comes the tense reply
[01:19] <^Vane^> **En route. One casuality, status uncertain. Resistance so far.. annihilated. Continuing to objective.**
[01:19] <Jacob_Dorn> **More or less..**
[01:20] * ^Vane^ kneels by Stephan.
[01:20] <Gamesmaster> "Aff, if he is confirmed to still be alive and in no need of immediate assistance continue. Report in as soon as objective is disabled*
[01:21] <^Vane^> **Will try to stabilise him. Then continue.**
[01:23] * ^Vane^ uses medkit on Stephan, just basic stuff. Painkillers and not die things.
[01:23] <Jacob_Dorn> Best get to that security room and ruin the bridge crews fun.
[01:23] <^Vane^> *while working* Yes, orientate us, and find us a path while I, for some reason, save this rat's life.
[01:24] <Jacob_Dorn> We could continue trhough the now dowsed fire
[01:29] <Gamesmaster> ***SESSION 24 END***
