  23. [21:00] TheRaven Taggart looks around, mutters something, and quickly heads to his room. He returns to the break room a few minutes later with a No. 5 Lee-Enfield in a standard sling. He stands, keeping an eye on the door.
  24. [21:00] NullAshton frowns. Bloody... "First the cafeteria and now this..." He takes out his pistol again, trying to figure out which direction the sound is coming from.
  25. [21:00] Daedalize <<Can anyone locate ze source?>>

  59. [21:07] Wombat Ryan, while resisting the urge to make Edgar Allen Poe jokes, tries to come up with a plan.
  60. [21:07] Mr_Wilt Nolan makes his way to roof access. "Right, okay. What do we do?"
  61. [21:07] Salmander It's louder as you get closer to the roof
  62. [21:08] Wombat "I'd suggest that we stack up, then move in one at a time.
  63. [21:08] NullAshton Dmitri swears in russian. Well, at least they're going to it that time... he heads to the roof access, thinking to himself. Organic mass... probably expanding. Lets let someone else go in first to see what it does!
  64. [21:08] Salmander As they ascend the stairwell their hair begins to frizz
  65. [21:09] Daedalize "Static electricity?"
  66. [21:09] Wombat "Strong electrical field."
  67. [21:09] Tom90deg "Seems like it."
  68. [21:09] Wombat Ryan examines his cell phone to see if anything is disturbing it.
  69. [21:09] Salmander Nothing messing with the phone, it seems
  70. [21:09] Wombat <<Murphy to Central. There is a strong electrical field as we approach the mass.>>
  71. [21:10] Wombat Good time for a radio check.
  72. [21:10] NullAshton "Probably stronger to the source. Do we have any sort of equipment to protect against electrical hazards on the base?"

  80. [21:11] Wombat Ryan picks it up and dials central.
  81. [21:12] Salmander <<Command.>>
  82. [21:12] TheRaven "Just interference. Could be a thunderstorm." While he says this, he flips the safety off on his rifle, but doesn't chamber a round yet.
  83. [21:12] Wombat <<We're below the roof access, and there is a strong electrical field that is jamming our radios.>>
  84. [21:13] Tom90deg Eric pulls out his camera and preps it.
  85. [21:13] Wombat <<Orders?>>
  86. [21:13] Salmander <<We're aware. Keep on mission, Poolboys.>>
  87. [21:13] NullAshton already had the safety off on his pistol when it was in the holster. Needless extra step in self defense.
  88. [21:13] Wombat <<Roger that.>> Ryan hangs up the phone.

  90. [21:13] Mr_Wilt Nolan switches the safety off his pistol, and cocks it. "Continue on?"
  91. [21:14] Wombat "Okay guys. Radios are non-functional, but the hardlines are still up. ANy shit happens, call it in."
  92. [21:14] Wombat He tests the roof door. Is it locked?
  93. [21:14] Salmander Nope
  94. [21:14] Daedalize Sigrun readies her pistol as well. "Ve should be careful. This much electrical interference could mean magnetic fields as well."
  95. [21:14] Wombat Ryan slowly opens it and peeks out.
  96. [21:15] Sequence Eva comes up the stairs, panting slightly. "Sorry, sorry, monkeys made me late."

  102. [21:15] Wombat About three inches.
  103. [21:15] Salmander It's not that difficult to see what's up
  104. [21:16] Salmander Planted in the center of the roof, red liquid dripping down from it, is a giant heart suspended in a netting of what seems to be large tendons
  105. [21:17] Tom90deg "What's out there?"
  106. [21:17] Salmander The heart's about 20 feet tall, for reference
  107. [21:17] Wombat "It's a tell-tale heart. Someone report it in."
  108. [21:17] Wombat Ryan couldn't resist that one.

  117. [21:18] Tom90deg Eric begins to take some refrence pictures of the heart.
  118. [21:18] Salmander A piece of the door frame breaks off and hits Ryan on the head. He gets quite the goose egg.
  119. [21:18] Wombat Through a helmet. "Ow!"
  120. [21:18] Mr_Wilt "Holy shit, you alright?"
  121. [21:18] Wombat "I guess the universe hates my jokes."
  122. [21:19] Wombat "It doesn't seem to be moving. Should we proceed onto the roof?"
  123. [21:19] Sequence Eva pats Ryan on the shoulder.
  124. [21:19] TheRaven Taggart pulls out his radio. <<Uh, Command? We've got a gigantic heart up here. Any ideas on what that's about?>>
  125. [21:19] Daedalize "Look for ze valves and such. A grenade inside of it vould do much damage, I suspect."
  126. [21:19] Tom90deg "Sounds good."
  127. [21:19] Wombat "No radios, Taggart. Use the hardline phone.

  132. [21:20] Daedalize "It is very large. Shooting might take some time."
  133. [21:20] Sequence "Or we could get uncontaminated samples."
  134. [21:20] Tom90deg "Yes."
  135. [21:20] Daedalize "Much easier to explode it."
  136. [21:20] Tom90deg "Before you destroy it, I'd like to take some samples."
  137. [21:20] Wombat "Taggart, call in on the hard-line phone. See what Command wants."
  138. [21:20] Salmander LUBDUBLUBDUBLUBDUB It seems to increase in heart rate as you mention blowing it up
  139. [21:20] Daedalize "I agree, zere. Samples vould be nice."
  140. [21:20] Mr_Wilt "Blowing it up can cause some unnecessary site damage."
  141. [21:21] Tom90deg "...I think it can hear us."
  142. [21:21] Daedalize "It's flesh will cushion ze explosion."
  143. [21:21] Wombat "Guys... I think we should leave it alone. It's a nice heart." Cue the most exaggerated wink in the universe.
  144. [21:21] Mr_Wilt "Maybe if we ask it politely, it'll go away."
  145. [21:21] NullAshton shrugs. "One of you can, sure." Pausing as it increases in heart rate, he adds, "Add sentient, yes."
  146. [21:21] Sequence "Actually, what /has/ it done to us?"
  147. [21:21] Wombat "Clonked me on the head. Maybe."

  150. [21:22] Sequence "Ryan, not to be mean, but that was probably a coincidence."
  151. [21:22] Salmander <<Collect tissue samples. Possibly deafen the noise.>>

  153. [21:23] Tom90deg "Right then. Shall we head out?"
  154. [21:23] Wombat "Roger. Let's move out."
  155. [21:23] Wombat Ryan moves onto the roof.

  157. [21:23] Daedalize "Silencing it vill likely require it's destruction..."
  158. [21:23] Salmander It beats steadily as the move about it
  159. [21:23] Daedalize Sigrun follows Ryan out.
  160. [21:23] Wombat "We can probably muffle it by puncturing the valves. It can't beat then."
  161. [21:23] Mr_Wilt Nolan follows after, looking it up and down. "Well, that's something."
  162. [21:24] Tom90deg Eric begins to take photos, and starts to take samples, examing it closely
  163. [21:24] Mr_Wilt "Well, it reacted to us suggesting we blow it up." Nolan takes a few steps closer to the thing. "Maybe we can ask it to shut up."

  179. [21:25] Mr_Wilt "Well, I can't believe that actually worked."
  180. [21:26] Wombat To persuade the heart to be quiet.
  181. [21:26] Salmander Um... no
  182. [21:26] Salmander Eric notes that it appears to be normal heart tissue in every way, there's just a lot of it.
  183. [21:26] Wombat "I do have a tranq pistol. Judging by the size of this thing, though, I'm not sure there's enough in the entire clip for it to notice."

  198. [21:28] Daedalize "If it iz, in fact, responding to our words, zen I doubt gathering samples vill be possible without exciting it again."
  199. [21:28] Wombat "The question is, how do we move it?"
  200. [21:29] TheRaven "Forklift?"

  204. [21:29] Mr_Wilt "Well, let's ask our friend." Nolan looks back at the heart. "Do you mind if we take a sample? Beat a little louder, if you're okay with it."
  205. [21:29] Daedalize Has the radio interference stopped?
  206. [21:29] Tom90deg "Do we need to? It's suspended by those tendon like things."
