  1. (1:15:32 PM) SweatwaveLover: Every body in the Mess and Rec, Perception. Please note who who you are in the roll.
  2. (1:15:33 PM) seagull: "No?" Ross is in a sarcastic mood. His Psych eval was not pleasant for him and he wants to get his frustration out.
  3. (1:15:45 PM) Condorito is now known as Quinn
  4. (1:15:49 PM) seagull: 6df+4 Ross does percpetion stuff
  5. (1:15:50 PM) Glacon: seagull: Ross does percpetion stuff: 6 (6df+4=-, +, +, 0, +, 0)
  6. (1:16:02 PM) Quinn: 6df+5
  7. (1:16:02 PM) Glacon: Quinn: 6 (6df+5=+, 0, 0, 0, +, -)

  14. (1:19:55 PM) Wogglebot left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
  15. (1:20:04 PM) TheRaven [~Ravinoff@synIRC-A939C737.dhcp-dynamic.fibreop.nl.bellaliant.net] entered the room.
  16. (1:22:39 PM) SweatwaveLover: Maybe it's the lifetime of experience with large engines, but Hijack is the only one to register the sudden rumble of a heavy diesel coming to life.
  17. (1:22:54 PM) SweatwaveLover: Nowhere near, but it's there.
  18. (1:24:30 PM) Strife: "oh, I wonder what equipment is getting ran at this time of night"
  19. (1:24:54 PM) SweatwaveLover: Everyone else in the Rec and the Mess continues on, either not hearing or disregarding the noise, used to it as part of the ongoing construction.
  20. (1:25:08 PM) seagull: "What's happening, Murf?"
  21. (1:25:16 PM) seagull: "Probably construction."
  22. (1:25:49 PM) SweatwaveLover: The powerful throb of a diesel powerplant hasn't exactly been a rare sound this past month or so.
  23. (1:26:02 PM) Strife: "someone just started a pack. Kinda sounds like a 72, although that would just be silly"
  24. (1:26:26 PM) Strife: "wait. This place, that'd be perfectly reasonable."
  25. (1:26:31 PM) ***Quinn doesn't care about engines! Those are for people with hair on their knuckles.
  26. (1:27:09 PM) seagull: Engines are all greek to Ross.
  27. (1:27:19 PM) Strife: Murphy stands up dramatically, coffee cup in one hand and sandwich in the other. "who wants to go look for a demonic soviet block tank?"
  28. (1:27:56 PM) Quinn: "YES!" Quinn has no idea what this is all about.
  29. (1:28:26 PM) seagull: "Does it involve computers or televisions that say stuff?"
  30. (1:28:31 PM) Soulless: Stoat looks up.
  31. (1:28:33 PM) Dexanote [~Dexanote@stupid.dog.you.made.me.look.bad] entered the room.
  32. (1:28:33 PM) mode (+o Dexanote) by ChanServ
  33. (1:28:44 PM) Strife: "probably not!"
  34. (1:28:45 PM) Soulless: "..."
  35. (1:28:49 PM) Soulless: She finds this stupid.
  36. (1:29:08 PM) TheRaven: Taggart is at the range running rapid-fire drills. He hears nothing.
  37. (1:29:26 PM) Strife: "Come on Agent, we certainly can't be trusted without a responsible chaperone"
  38. (1:29:27 PM) seagull: "I'll do it."
  39. (1:29:36 PM) SweatwaveLover: <<Schwarz to Command, Over.>>
  40. (1:29:52 PM) Soulless: "I'll come along."
  41. (1:30:17 PM) Strife: Murphy decides that a ballistic solution search is just the thing to distract everyone from moping
  42. (1:30:20 PM) Quinn: Quinn is putting his backpack full o' medical gear on. For some reason, he still has the fanny pack around his waist.
  43. (1:30:46 PM) Quinn is now known as Condorito
  44. (1:31:35 PM) seagull: Ross hefts his pack onto his shoulder and does a quick pat down to check his pockets for his things.
  45. (1:31:47 PM) Strife: Murphy pulls up his hood and heads out the door. "once more into the chill, dear friends"
  46. (1:32:41 PM) seagull: "I am torn I want it to warm up, but the ice will melt." Ross follows Murphy out the door.
  47. (1:32:56 PM) Condorito: Yeah, he's bringing his 128-oz Omnigulp. This might require coffee before the night is out.
  48. (1:34:35 PM) Soulless: Stoat sees if the conversation on the radio continues.
  49. (1:34:48 PM) Soulless: She follows everyone else, though. She just... keeps an ear out.
  50. (1:36:30 PM) Strife: Murphy attempts to locate the direction of the sound
  51. (1:36:44 PM) Dexanote: <<Command here.>> The voice over the radio is gruff and obviously cripplingly annoyed.
  52. (1:37:15 PM) Dexanote: <<All poolboys report to the construction site immediately.>>
  53. (1:37:26 PM) SweatwaveLover: <<Hate to wake you from your beauty sleep, but is there supposed to be any construction going on this time of night?>>
  54. (1:37:55 PM) Condorito: "Whee!" He carefully places the lid to 'close' on his Omnigulp.
  55. (1:38:20 PM) seagull: Ross sighs and turns toward the construction site.
  56. (1:39:07 PM) Dexanote: You can all hear other voices in the background. <<Apparently everything's been shut down for the night. Report immediately.>>
  57. (1:40:00 PM) Strife: Hijack swears and heads that way
  58. (1:40:26 PM) Strife: This wasn't supposed to be an actual search!
  59. (1:40:53 PM) seagull: "I swear to god, if I have to calmly talk another sentient steamroller into the ground... Man, that was a fun mission."
  60. (1:41:06 PM) SweatwaveLover: <<Roger that. Holding position.>>
  61. (1:41:18 PM) Soulless: Stoat begins to run.
  62. (1:41:33 PM) Condorito: Quinn turns to Ross. "You have any preference in how you want to play this?"
  63. (1:41:34 PM) Soulless: She doesn't say anything, she just shoots forward in a sprint.
  64. (1:41:52 PM) seagull: "Shoot things?"
  65. (1:42:27 PM) SweatwaveLover: Murphy, that rumble suddenly turns into a full throated roar.
  66. (1:42:38 PM) SweatwaveLover: Whatever's going on, somebody just hit the gas big time.
  67. (1:42:59 PM) Condorito: Quinn follows the people who look like they know what's going on. He still doesn't know what a block tank is. "Sure. Anybody goes south, you transport and cover me, if I need assistance, we'll get another shooter to cover us."
  68. (1:43:20 PM) Strife: "hey, be advised, tracked vehicles can pivot steer, okay?"
  69. (1:43:25 PM) SweatwaveLover: <<Shit! I have movement - one excavator, possibly more. Fucker's lit up like a christmas tree!>>
  70. (1:44:06 PM) seagull: "Like I said, sentient steamrollers. Funniest mission of my life."
  71. (1:44:15 PM) Strife: <<command, recommend we get some heavy vehicles out here>>
  72. (1:44:30 PM) Condorito: Quinn just follows Hijack. He seems to know what's going on.
  73. (1:45:05 PM) Soulless: Stoat's dashing out to contruction,
  74. (1:45:09 PM) Soulless: *construction
  75. (1:45:17 PM) Soulless: What would she see?Can she find Duncan, maybe?
  76. (1:45:36 PM) SweatwaveLover: They aren't there yet, and can't see anything except a faint glow.
  77. (1:46:04 PM) Soulless: Mkay. She's worried.
  78. (1:46:06 PM) Condorito: "I nominate you to talk down any steamrollers."
  79. (1:46:06 PM) Soulless: <<Coming.>>
  80. (1:46:10 PM) SweatwaveLover: Hearing on the other hand...well, nobody can miss the volley of shots.
  81. (1:46:53 PM) seagull: "Accepted. Then again, my steamroller had the mind of a block of steel, which is unsurprising."
  82. (1:46:55 PM) Dexanote: Eventually Command responds. <<We'll do our best.>>
  83. (1:47:07 PM) SweatwaveLover: <<Responding units!>> An out of breath Duncan comes through in bursts. <<Be advised, excavator is on the move! Repeat, on the move!>>
  84. (1:47:12 PM) Condorito: Quinn very calmly grabs a pill, seemingly at random, from his pocket and jams it into his mouth, dry swallowing. He's still carrying his mug.
  85. (1:47:25 PM) Snowshoe [~cgiirc@EE03D53B.8471B608.7EBC6036.IP] entered the room.
  86. (1:47:43 PM) Strife: <<understood. How's it acting?>>
  87. (1:47:52 PM) TheRaven: <<The hell's going on?>>
  88. (1:48:12 PM) Strife: <<maximum overdrive, I think>>
  89. (1:48:13 PM) SweatwaveLover: More shots.
  90. (1:48:23 PM) seagull: "Oh crap."
  91. (1:48:34 PM) seagull: Ross starts sprinting to where he heard the shots.
  92. (1:48:58 PM) Soulless: Stoathas been sprinting for a while now.
  93. (1:49:01 PM) Soulless: Damn she's fast.
  94. (1:49:34 PM) TheRaven: <<Uh, what? Gimme an explanation, you guys need backup?>>
  95. (1:49:57 PM) SweatwaveLover: She's nearing the construction site, having left her compatriots behind.
  96. (1:50:00 PM) Strife: <<Find me a rocket launcher, would you? Just in case.>>
  97. (1:50:15 PM) SweatwaveLover: They are about two turns away.
  98. (1:50:20 PM) Strife: Murphy is slowing down considerably. Old, worn out knees
  99. (1:50:20 PM) TheRaven: <<Where's shit going down?>>
  100. (1:50:38 PM) Condorito: Quinn is still following behind the guy who knows what a block tank is.
  101. (1:50:49 PM) seagull: <<Tag, construction site.>>
  102. (1:51:06 PM) seagull: *Taggart
  103. (1:51:12 PM) Strife: He keeps going as quickly as possible
  104. (1:51:13 PM) Snowshoe left the room (quit: Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF)).
  105. (1:51:26 PM) TheRaven: He reloads and heads over, moving at a good clip.
  106. (1:51:33 PM) SweatwaveLover: What greets her is a scene from a bad B-movie. A massive orange excavator, engine belching smoke, is rumbling over the remains of a chain link fence, arm raised to strike.
  107. (1:52:06 PM) SweatwaveLover: Backing away from it, like a modern day David, is Duncan, taking potshots at the darkened cab.
  108. (1:53:07 PM) Soulless: Stoat's eyes widen. Oh no.
  109. (1:53:33 PM) SweatwaveLover: The excavator itself it covered in armoured slats and panels. It seems to be taking the punishment without any trouble.
  110. (1:53:37 PM) Soulless: "Duncan! Get out of there!"
  111. (1:54:01 PM) Snowshoe [~cgiirc@C136BC39.8471B608.7EBC6036.IP] entered the room.
  112. (1:54:09 PM) seagull: Ross arrives shortly after, breathless.
  113. (1:54:28 PM) Strife: "Hey, doc, go on ahead"
  114. (1:55:14 PM) Condorito: Quinn keeps amblin' on, moving surprisingly fast.
  115. (1:55:41 PM) SweatwaveLover: The Security doesn't have time to respond, as the bucket whips down at him.
  116. (1:56:11 PM) Snowshoe left the room (quit: Quit: CGI:IRC).
  117. (1:56:11 PM) Snowshoe [~cgiirc@C136BC39.8471B608.7EBC6036.IP] entered the room.
  118. (1:56:23 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+6 Slow but powerful
  119. (1:56:24 PM) Glacon: SweatwaveLover: Slow but powerful: 7 (6df+6=0, -, +, -, +, +)
  120. (1:57:02 PM) NachtRuine left the room (quit: Quit: fahnehafedua).
  121. (1:57:25 PM) Soulless: 6df+8 Agi roll, Stoat runs over to jump atop the excavator.
  122. (1:57:25 PM) Glacon: Soulless: Agi roll, Stoat runs over to jump atop the excavator.: 8 (6df+8=-, +, 0, -, +, 0)
  123. (1:57:29 PM) SweatwaveLover: Duncan spots it coming, and dashes...forward?
  124. (1:57:45 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+6 Tagging Head On and running forward
  125. (1:57:46 PM) Glacon: SweatwaveLover: Tagging Head On and running forward: 7 (6df+6=+, 0, -, -, +, +)
  126. (1:58:32 PM) SweatwaveLover: He's just in time. The bucket slams into the frozen ground with a crash, peppering him with debris.
  127. (1:58:59 PM) seagull: Ross just kinda stands there in shock.
  128. (1:59:09 PM) SweatwaveLover: "The cab's locked!" He yells at Stoat.
  129. (1:59:14 PM) seagull: He's never seen anything like this.
  130. (1:59:25 PM) SweatwaveLover: The others are just coming into view.
  131. (1:59:45 PM) Condorito: Quinn comes up next to him. "You get to drag them away. I'm setting up a triage zone. Farther back from this."
  132. (1:59:47 PM) SweatwaveLover: And are just in time to see that last bit. They won't be able to join in for another turn though.
  133. (2:00:01 PM) TheRaven: "What the /fuck/?"
  134. (2:00:03 PM) SweatwaveLover: At least, directly affecting the rogue excavator.
  135. (2:00:11 PM) Condorito: Him=Ross
  136. (2:00:29 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+6 Rolling Rolling Rolling
  137. (2:00:29 PM) Glacon: SweatwaveLover: Rolling Rolling Rolling: 8 (6df+6=+, 0, 0, +, 0, 0)
  138. (2:00:52 PM) seagull: Ross stays way back, he doesn't want to have to fight this thing. He's a doctor, goddammit, not a soldier.
  139. (2:00:57 PM) Soulless: "There has to be a way to open it!"
  140. (2:01:07 PM) Soulless: Does Stoat jump on?
  141. (2:01:22 PM) SweatwaveLover: Stoat, the excavator rumbles forward, tracks throwing up a plume of snow and dirt. It's going full tilt, and you can't time your jump well enough to get on.
  142. (2:01:42 PM) Soulless: She tumbles to the side then.
  143. (2:02:11 PM) SweatwaveLover: "It's the armoured one they use to help dig up the ruins! Thing's fucking bulletproof!"
  144. (2:02:11 PM) Condorito: "Ross, shall we engage in a little bit of heavy cover?"
  145. (2:02:31 PM) seagull: "I'm going to go stand next to that pillar."
  146. (2:02:43 PM) SweatwaveLover: Heavy cover might be useful Ross, because it's coming your way.
  147. (2:02:48 PM) seagull: Ross runs to one of the pillars and leans on it.
  148. (2:03:06 PM) Condorito: Quinn runs not-towards Ross or the Killscavator.
  149. (2:03:40 PM) seagull: He sees the thing coming at him and he quietly swears, and dodges behind a pile of building materials
  150. (2:04:06 PM) TheRaven: <<We're gonna need some bigger guns...>>
  151. (2:04:38 PM) SweatwaveLover: The mechanical monster doesn't seem particularly phased by the rubble, and accelerates!
  152. (2:04:58 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+6 Speed to Melee Manoeuvre
  153. (2:04:58 PM) Glacon: SweatwaveLover: Speed to Melee Manoeuvre: 6 (6df+6=+, -, 0, +, 0, -)
  154. (2:04:58 PM) Strife: Murphy is in the process of scaling the fence into the construction site
  155. (2:05:09 PM) SweatwaveLover: It's going to hit in on turn!
  156. (2:05:17 PM) SweatwaveLover: Agility to do that, Murph.
  157. (2:06:05 PM) SweatwaveLover: Ross, you'll get +4 to PDef by being behind the rubble, but if it succeeds you may be buried.
  158. (2:06:24 PM) SweatwaveLover: ('It' being the excavator)
  159. (2:06:34 PM) seagull: 6df+4+4
  160. (2:06:35 PM) Glacon: seagull: 6 (6df+4+4=-, 0, 0, -, -, +)
  161. (2:06:48 PM) Strife: 6dfk
  162. (2:07:02 PM) seagull: Ross hunkers down further hoping the machine can't see too well.
  163. (2:07:56 PM) TheRaven: Taggart is trying to get into a good firing position. He's also digging through his mag pouches. ~Solids, solids, where the fuck did I-goddammit, that's right, all BTHP now...fuck.~
  164. (2:08:03 PM) seagull: Ross wants to angst, but he's afraid the machine will hear him.
  165. (2:08:16 PM) Strife: 6df+8 tahje to agility
  166. (2:08:17 PM) Glacon: Strife: tahje to agility: 11 (6df+8=0, +, +, +, -, +)
  167. (2:09:22 PM) SweatwaveLover: Stoat, it's moved past you. That roll merely lets you match its speed, hopefully catching up with it next turn.
  168. (2:09:34 PM) Snowshoe is now known as Dunno
  169. (2:10:10 PM) Dunno is now known as Snowshoe
  170. (2:10:38 PM) seagull is now known as tretter
  171. (2:10:40 PM) SweatwaveLover: Redact that
  172. (2:10:43 PM) Strife is now known as Trifes
  173. (2:10:53 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+10 Rolling over Ross
  174. (2:10:54 PM) Glacon: SweatwaveLover: Rolling over Ross: 9 (6df+10=0, -, 0, -, +, 0)
  175. (2:12:08 PM) SweatwaveLover: With a god almighty roar, the excavator slams full tilt into Ross' shelter.
  176. (2:12:22 PM) SweatwaveLover: The shelter, sadly, comes off second best.
  177. (2:12:43 PM) tretter: I feels the sad now
  178. (2:12:48 PM) tretter: redactthat
  179. (2:13:20 PM) SweatwaveLover: As does Ross, who suddenly finds himself the proud owner of large amounts of masonry and steel rebar.
  180. (2:13:45 PM) SweatwaveLover: -3 Body, and he is pinned.
  181. (2:14:03 PM) tretter left the room (Kicked by Pleb_Wilt (Feel the sads sear your flesh.)).
  182. (2:14:08 PM) tretter [~chatzilla@synIRC-547AE466.etczone.com] entered the room.
  183. (2:14:35 PM) SweatwaveLover: Luckily for him, he managed to be right in between its tracks, and so isn't squashed to a bloody pulp.
  184. (2:14:42 PM) Soulless: 6df+8 Stoat runs along the thing, readying a jump. (maneuver)
  185. (2:14:42 PM) Glacon: Soulless: Stoat runs along the thing, readying a jump. (maneuver): 9 (6df+8=0, -, 0, +, +, 0)
  186. (2:15:02 PM) Rylarra left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  187. (2:15:33 PM) SweatwaveLover: He does however get pretty much deafened.
  188. (2:16:02 PM) TheRaven: <<Somebody get to the armoury, get me...rockets, or a .50 AP, or some fucking solid slugs or something.>>
  189. (2:16:44 PM) SweatwaveLover: While that's been going on, Murphy has been exercising some burglary skills, and has made it over the fence. He's now standing in a construction yard.
  190. (2:17:23 PM) Trifes: Murphy heads to the nearest piece of heavy, tracked equipment and gets in
  191. (2:18:15 PM) SweatwaveLover: It's going to take you a turn to do so.
  192. (2:18:43 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+4 Reorienting
  193. (2:18:43 PM) Glacon: SweatwaveLover: Reorienting: 3 (6df+4=+, -, +, -, 0, -)
  194. (2:19:06 PM) Trifes: He does do. Does he need a roll to start it up at this point?
  195. (2:19:07 PM) SweatwaveLover: Back in the thick of the action, Stoat catches up to the excavator, and leaps on to a suddenly unmoving track.
  196. (2:19:24 PM) SweatwaveLover: That will become clear next turn. For now, he's just getting there.
  197. (2:19:56 PM) Bananaman left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  198. (2:20:23 PM) SweatwaveLover: The other track is still moving though, so the massive machine turns to face the way it came.
  199. (2:20:35 PM) Qwazzerman [~chatzilla@synIRC-B61BF57B.snfcca.dsl-w.verizon.net] entered the room.
  200. (2:21:12 PM) Condorito left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  201. (2:21:34 PM) SweatwaveLover: Duncan runs over to Taggart. "You got anything in that bag of tricks that'll take down an armoured excavator?" He asks, breathing heavily. "Because it's soaking up 7.62NATO like fucking nerf darts."
  202. (2:21:40 PM) Trifes: <<didn't of say get a fucking rocket launcher before?>>
  203. (2:22:33 PM) Tehpillowstar [Mibbit@C81EF0D4.CE089E0.AE452441.IP] entered the room.

  205. (2:23:02 PM) SweatwaveLover: Reaching the vehicle lineup, Murphy can see a bulldozer, a grader, another excavator and a front end loader in his immediate vicinity. None of the armoured, sadly.
  206. (2:23:26 PM) Trifes: Are they all tracked?
  207. (2:23:55 PM) SweatwaveLover: The grader and loader are wheeled.
  208. (2:24:03 PM) TheRaven: "I've got 175s, match rounds. No idea how they'll penetrate. Head for the armoury, get us some real firepower."
  209. (2:24:49 PM) Obtusepanda left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
  210. (2:25:36 PM) Trifes: Which tracked vehicle looks heavier/ with longer tracks?
  211. (2:26:09 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe is in Espionage, but hears sounds! She looks out the window.
  212. (2:26:10 PM) SweatwaveLover: Having turned a full 180, the metallic titan roars to life again.
  213. (2:26:58 PM) SweatwaveLover: Stoat, you're not in a great spot there.
  214. (2:27:14 PM) SweatwaveLover: Agility, as the track you're on starts moving.
  215. (2:27:33 PM) Obtusepanda [~Obtusepan@synIRC-352BBFB8.net] entered the room.

  432. (3:19:22 PM) Condorito: "Help me get him to medical. Then we're going to go collect one more."
  433. (3:19:28 PM) SweatwaveLover: The excavator lurches as Murphy guns it. One more push and it will be flipped over.
  434. (3:20:06 PM) SweatwaveLover: However, whie eyou were doing that, it spun back around. Killscavator's giving it the windup...
  435. (3:20:23 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+7 Out of the ball park

  437. (3:20:29 PM) SweatwaveLover: Pdef, Murphy.
  438. (3:20:31 PM) TheRaven: <<GET THAT FUCKING CAN OUT OF THE WAY!>>
  439. (3:20:44 PM) Soulless: Stoat can't really walk or anything, but she gathers her strength to grab her radio. <<Murphy if that is you get the fuck off and out so Taggart can->> A groan/yell of pain <<-blow this thing up>>
  440. (3:20:53 PM) SweatwaveLover: "One more?" Duncan Starts hefting rubble.
  441. (3:20:59 PM) SweatwaveLover: 6df+6 Ooof

  445. (3:21:25 PM) Tehpillowstar: <<What can I do now?>>
  446. (3:21:33 PM) Condorito: "Stoat's down. Haven't been able to pass off THIS patient, or get decent triage started. This is about as cluster as it gets."
  447. (3:21:36 PM) SweatwaveLover: Stoat, you're in a bad way. You can get up, but the smell of singing flesh and hte blinding pain tell you you're hurt. Bad.
  448. (3:22:08 PM) TheRaven: <<Clear the backblast area, you do not wanna be behind me when this thing goes off!>>
  449. (3:22:27 PM) SweatwaveLover: There's a crunch and the sound of tearing metal as the massive arm slams into Murphy's dozer, just below the door.
  450. (3:22:48 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe backs away from Taggart
  451. (3:22:54 PM) Condorito: <<Chloe, go to Stoat. Make sure she doesn't move, and keep her safe.>>
  452. (3:22:58 PM) SweatwaveLover: The window breaks, showering him with glass, and the cab is now quite a bit thinner.
  453. (3:23:09 PM) Tehpillowstar: <<Where's Stoat right now?>>
  454. (3:23:11 PM) SweatwaveLover: You aren't getting out of it in a hurry, either.
  455. (3:23:15 PM) Soulless: Stoat attempts to brokenly scrabble away from the scene as a whole as best as she can, more pulling herself away than getting up and walking, but it's kind of like that.
  456. (3:23:18 PM) SweatwaveLover: -2 Body to Murphy.
  457. (3:23:26 PM) SweatwaveLover: Also, your radio is /gone/.
  458. (3:23:51 PM) Soulless: She doesn't know who's where right now, and is disoriented and in pain, and just knows she needs to get away because Taggart's gonna blow some shit up.
  459. (3:24:43 PM) SweatwaveLover: Suddenly, tangling with a massive excavator doesn't seem like such a great idea.
  460. (3:24:52 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe runs towards Stoat. Good God is she running around like a maniac.
  461. (3:25:07 PM) Tehpillowstar: redact
  462. (3:25:13 PM) SweatwaveLover: Ross is slowly being uncovered. Another turn and he should be free.
  463. (3:25:25 PM) SweatwaveLover: Quite a bit of blood.
  464. (3:25:31 PM) Strife: He can't get out, and retreating will probably get him killed. A properly placed shaped charge shouldn't take him out too. Hopefully maybe.
  465. (3:26:12 PM) Strife: 6df+8 might as well attack. "objective or the green!"
  466. (3:26:12 PM) Glacon: Strife: might as well attack. "objective or the green!": 7 (6df+8=-, -, +, 0, -, +)

  469. (3:26:39 PM) tretter: Ross begins to come to as his body is slowly cleared.
  470. (3:27:04 PM) SweatwaveLover: With a groan, the excavator hits its balance point.
  471. (3:27:34 PM) SweatwaveLover: Taggart, the battle has shift such that you can get a shot off, if you want, and be fairly sure of hitting the enemy.
  472. (3:27:38 PM) SweatwaveLover: *shifted

  474. (3:28:11 PM) SweatwaveLover: The Qm stays back. he's done his part, now it's out of his hands.
  475. (3:28:14 PM) Soulless: Stoat tries to regain her senses and figure out where she's crawled off to and what's going on.
  476. (3:28:25 PM) TheRaven: 6df+12 safety off, front towards enemy, last AP tagged (I Know What I'm Doing)

  479. (3:28:54 PM) thedeadlymoose [~chatzilla@synIRC-55DBF48B.lsanca.dsl-w.verizon.net] entered the room.
  480. (3:29:20 PM) Soulless: Stoat has her radio.
  481. (3:29:35 PM) Tehpillowstar: <<Stoat, do you copy? I'm coming for you, over.>>
  482. (3:29:39 PM) Condorito: 6df+8 Science - I'm making the world's most ghettotastic LSB to attempt to not move any more vertibrae out of alignment.

  486. (3:30:29 PM) Soulless: <<I... I...>> Hisssssss. Breathing, when did that get so painful? <<Here. Little bit away. By some rubble to the right. In a bad way.>>
  487. (3:30:38 PM) SweatwaveLover: Murphy, your stomach curls into an icy black hole as the rocket motor kicks in. You see it streak past you, barely 5m from your cab. Every part of you screams for layers of depleted uranium and chobham between you and the explosive death flying through the night.
  488. (3:30:39 PM) Soulless: She may not be making much sense.
  489. (3:31:09 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe searches for Stoat. Roll for perception?
  490. (3:31:14 PM) SweatwaveLover: Yes.
  491. (3:31:31 PM) Tehpillowstar: 6df+5 Stoaaaaat. Stoaaaaaaaaaaaaat. STOAT!

  493. (3:32:08 PM) SweatwaveLover: As it flies, you imagine you can see the little eyes that all guided missiles have, locked on to its prey.
  494. (3:32:16 PM) SweatwaveLover: Pdef, Murphy.
  495. (3:32:40 PM) Tehpillowstar: <<I can't find you Stoat. State your current location again, over>>

  499. (3:33:59 PM) Tehpillowstar: Well, that's certainly vague. Chloe scans the scene for Stoat again.
  500. (3:34:08 PM) Soulless: Stoat's probably meaning her extra hands, which are indeed flailing in the air.
  501. (3:34:13 PM) Soulless: FLAILFLAILFLAIL
  502. (3:34:19 PM) Soulless: THIS SHIT HURTS YO
  503. (3:36:13 PM) SweatwaveLover: Murphy, your world goes white, then black.
  504. (3:36:43 PM) SweatwaveLover: Taggart, good effect on target.
  505. (3:37:27 PM) SweatwaveLover: With a tortured groan, the smoking machine tips over, landing with a thud that rocks the ground.
  506. (3:37:58 PM) SweatwaveLover: A massive hole has been taken out of the bottom.
  507. (3:38:21 PM) TheRaven: <<It's down! Someone check the dozer!>>
  508. (3:38:29 PM) SweatwaveLover: Small pieces of shrapnel cascade down, like a morbid parody of rain.
  509. (3:38:30 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe turns around and runs!
  510. (3:38:57 PM) Tehpillowstar: She heads for the dozer. Murphy, please don't be dead please don't be dead please don't be dead...
  511. (3:39:04 PM) Soulless: Stoat tries to scrub away her tears enough to see what's going on...
  512. (3:39:11 PM) Condorito: Quinn starts taking Patient Number 1 to the hospital?
  513. (3:39:37 PM) Soulless: She makes a low cry of pain as she begins to scrabble-walk back to where the blurry figures of the other people are.
  514. (3:39:38 PM) Tehpillowstar: "Shit Murphy, please, please, please, please, please..."
  515. (3:39:41 PM) SweatwaveLover: The dozer is in bad shape. The engine block is vomiting black smoke. Equally black is the remains of the cab.
  516. (3:40:02 PM) Tehpillowstar: Is Chloe there?
  517. (3:41:00 PM) TheRaven: Taggart drops the spent launcher and sprints to...Stoat!
  518. (3:41:31 PM) SweatwaveLover: Duncan helps Quinn.
  519. (3:42:09 PM) Pleb_Wilt: <<Agent Taggart, this is Command. Please report your condition.>>
  520. (3:42:19 PM) Tehpillowstar: She climbs into the mangled dozer. Fuck, please don't be dead.
  521. (3:43:28 PM) TheRaven: <<Multiple injured, unknown dead, hostile destroyed, we need some medics and we need 'em five minutes ago!>>
  522. (3:43:28 PM) Soulless: Stoat collapses partway there. It's been a while since she's hurt this bad. She doesn't miss it in the least. She's shivering a bit, and scrubbing away tears.
  523. (3:43:32 PM) SweatwaveLover: Chloe, the dozer is hot. And sharp. You're going to have roll Agility to get up there safely.
  524. (3:43:58 PM) Tehpillowstar: 6df+6 Fuck everything.
  525. (3:43:59 PM) Glacon: Tehpillowstar: Fuck everything.: 7 (6df+6=0, +, 0, -, 0, +)
  526. (3:44:37 PM) Pleb_Wilt: <<Firing up the time machines. Medics en route.>>
  527. (3:44:43 PM) Soulless: Wait, someone died? Stoat struggles to get to her feet and look around as to what's going on. Her gaze first lands on Taggart, then Duncan and then Chloe.
  528. (3:44:51 PM) SweatwaveLover: You only scratch yourself a little as you jump up on the running board.
  529. (3:44:54 PM) Soulless: "Wait.. Wait! Chloe!"
  530. (3:45:12 PM) TheRaven: Taggart helps Stoat up. "You're going to med. Now."
  531. (3:45:24 PM) Tehpillowstar: "Murphy, please...Hijack damnit, don't die on me. You still gotta get energy for Quinn's lab..."
  532. (3:45:36 PM) SweatwaveLover: Christ, the cab's a mess. There isn't a single piece of glass left in the windscreen, and the whole thing looks like a giant child threw it against the wall during a tantrum.
  533. (3:45:36 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe is crying now.
  534. (3:45:44 PM) Soulless: Stoat struggles about as nothing to Taggart. "No, Chloe, look, she, look"
  535. (3:46:07 PM) Soulless: She blubbs, before letting out a cry of pain as being helped up hurts her some more.
  536. (3:46:16 PM) SweatwaveLover: Sparks fly from some instrument in the ruins, and the stink of fuel permeates the air.
  537. (3:46:54 PM) Condorito left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
  538. (3:46:58 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe wipes her tears. Perception to look for Murphy.
  539. (3:47:55 PM) Tehpillowstar: *?
  540. (3:48:01 PM) SweatwaveLover: Sure.
  541. (3:48:06 PM) Pleb_Wilt: A pick-up truck full of medics sitting in the bed arrive on the scene. Alex is among them.
  542. (3:48:15 PM) Tehpillowstar: 6df+6
  543. (3:48:15 PM) Glacon: Tehpillowstar: 10 (6df+6=+, +, -, +, +, +)
  544. (3:48:20 PM) Strife: "Hey, Agent."
  545. (3:48:52 PM) SweatwaveLover: It's hard to make out anything in the mass of twisted metal, but there's something that might just be human in the centre of it all.
  546. (3:49:01 PM) TheRaven: <<Report!>>
  547. (3:49:07 PM) Snowshoe: Alex hops from the truck and trots over to the smoking metal heap that is presumably a dead thing.
  548. (3:49:17 PM) SweatwaveLover: <<Taking critcally injured to Medical.>>
  549. (3:49:19 PM) Tehpillowstar: She rushes towards the humand-shape, not caring about the shrapnel.
  550. (3:49:36 PM) SweatwaveLover: She can't rush, as she's standing right next to the cab.
  551. (3:50:01 PM) SweatwaveLover: And there's no way she's getting there without a blowtorch, the jaws of life and some explosives.
  552. (3:50:13 PM) Tehpillowstar: Can't she reach in?
  553. (3:50:14 PM) Snowshoe: Removable panels?
  554. (3:50:32 PM) Tehpillowstar: With an arm?
  555. (3:50:35 PM) tretter: Magic?
  556. (3:51:14 PM) Tehpillowstar: "Murphy...I'm here...I'm here, and if you gonna die, right here and now...(You're not gonna be alone...)"
  557. (3:51:16 PM) Pixeltasim left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
  558. (3:51:21 PM) Pleb_Wilt: A medic heads over to Taggart. "Point us to the injured."
  559. (3:51:25 PM) TheRaven: Taggart brings Stoat to the medical truck. "I have no idea what the fuck happened to her, but she's hit bad."
  560. (3:51:25 PM) Snowshoe: Alex looks around for somewhere that might give him access to the innards of the dozer.
  561. (3:51:29 PM) tretter left the room (Kicked by Pleb_Wilt (Pleb_Wilt)).
  562. (3:51:42 PM) SweatwaveLover: It's like a car crash in there. Murphy is entombed by far too much metal to get out.
  563. (3:51:51 PM) tretter [~chatzilla@synIRC-547AE466.etczone.com] entered the room.
  564. (3:51:59 PM) Soulless: "I fell off the thing."
  565. (3:52:19 PM) SweatwaveLover: Jagged struts poke out at every angle. Chloe's shoe crunches on broken glass.
  566. (3:52:35 PM) Tehpillowstar: <<Shit, someone come over here with something to help pull Murphy out.>>
  567. (3:52:36 PM) Soulless: Stoat doesn't resist. She just cries out a bit in pain whenever something gets moved wrong.
  568. (3:52:43 PM) Strife: "hey, it's doing stuff like this that got me my nickname, you know?"
  569. (3:53:18 PM) Snowshoe: Alex yells into the machine. "Hey, you awake in there?"
  570. (3:53:36 PM) Tehpillowstar: "Alex, help him, please."
  571. (3:53:38 PM) Condorito [Mibbit@synIRC-8C2F1DF8.hsd1.co.comcast.net] entered the room.
  572. (3:53:41 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Stoat is carefully set on a stretcher, strapped to it, and covered up by a blanket. Ross is also coerced over to the bed of the truck, and the same is done to him.
  573. (3:54:14 PM) Snowshoe: Any chance alex could remove the bit of the machine that's making sparky-sparks?
  574. (3:54:20 PM) SweatwaveLover: Alex, the two metal monsters are joined, even in death. The blade of the dozer pierces up into the excavator, while the digger arm rests on the engine block of the dozer.
  575. (3:54:25 PM) SweatwaveLover: Nope.
  576. (3:55:03 PM) Strife: "heh. . . Fun site, though. . ."
  577. (3:55:15 PM) Tehpillowstar: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING ALEX? STOP FUCKING AROUND AND HELP ME!"
  578. (3:55:15 PM) TheRaven: <<Get him out!>>

  580. (3:55:35 PM) Condorito: Quinn is in the back of the truck with the two.
  581. (3:55:37 PM) SweatwaveLover: Chloe, there's a sudden 'whoosh'.
  582. (3:55:49 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe tries, in vain, to pull out the...huh?
  583. (3:55:50 PM) SweatwaveLover: Is it just you, or is it brighter on the dozer?
  584. (3:56:28 PM) Tehpillowstar: She now desperately pulls away the twisted prison.
  585. (3:56:34 PM) Snowshoe: Alex Looks for the fuel tank.
  586. (3:56:46 PM) Snowshoe: The one on whichever machine murphy is stuck in.
  587. (3:56:58 PM) TheRaven: Taggart sits on the tailgate of the med truck. "Not again. Not again. No..."
  588. (3:57:05 PM) SweatwaveLover: It's not immediately visible.
  589. (3:57:22 PM) SweatwaveLover: A bright flame crawls over the engine.
  590. (3:57:53 PM) Tehpillowstar: "No..."
  591. (3:58:05 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe...isn't acting very sane right now.
  592. (3:58:10 PM) TheRaven: Would the fire be visible?
  593. (3:58:17 PM) SweatwaveLover: Yes.
  594. (3:58:23 PM) SweatwaveLover: It moves almost like a living thing, seeking fuel.
  595. (3:58:28 PM) Snowshoe: Alex makes a grab for Chloe
  596. (3:58:40 PM) Snowshoe: Interested in dragging her away
  597. (3:58:44 PM) TheRaven: Taggart dashes off to medical, grabbing the fire extinguisher.
  598. (3:58:54 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe is griping too hard at the metal prison, trying to save Murphy.
  599. (3:59:07 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Taggart, Medical is farther away than a 'dash'.
  600. (3:59:34 PM) SweatwaveLover: The heat rises inexorably. A streak of fire flies across the hood, leading directly into Murphy's tomb.
  601. (3:59:35 PM) Snowshoe: 6df+9 Yank, tagging grace under fire
  602. (3:59:35 PM) Glacon: Snowshoe: Yank, tagging grace under fire: 10 (6df+9=0, 0, +, +, -, 0)
  603. (4:00:27 PM) SweatwaveLover: The entire engine block is ablaze.

  605. (4:00:52 PM) TheRaven: <<Mud! Dirt! Throw something on it!>>
  606. (4:01:37 PM) Tehpillowstar: 6df+8 Korean spirit for strength, damnit, you gotta save Murphy...

  608. (4:01:54 PM) Condorito: Quinn is too busy trying to make sure that certain flailed chests and complex fractures remain relatively stable to see what else is going on behind him.
  609. (4:02:08 PM) SweatwaveLover: Too late, Taggart. As Alex pulls Chloe back, something catches.
  610. (4:02:33 PM) SweatwaveLover: With a sound like the doors of hell opening, the dozer is wreathed in flame.
  611. (4:02:40 PM) Tehpillowstar: "NO!"
  612. (4:02:47 PM) TheRaven: He drops. "No..."
  613. (4:02:51 PM) Pleb_Wilt: The medics converge in on the heap of metal, doing what they can to put out the flames. Snow, blankets, dirt.
  614. (4:03:15 PM) SweatwaveLover: Even the snow is alight, hampering efforts to get closer.
  615. (4:03:16 PM) Snowshoe: Explosions looking likely?
  616. (4:03:21 PM) Tehpillowstar: She pulls away from Alex's grip in vain,then just stops resisting.
  617. (4:03:32 PM) Tehpillowstar: Would Chloe and Alex be burned?
  618. (4:03:49 PM) SweatwaveLover: Singed, yes, but not burnt.
  619. (4:03:58 PM) SweatwaveLover: In short order, the remains of the demon excavator go up as well.
  620. (4:04:30 PM) Snowshoe: Noting It'll Probably Blow Up as an aspect, in case that proves relevant
  621. (4:04:46 PM) Tehpillowstar: She drops down. In the flickering light of the flames, Chloe's face is shiny with tears.
  622. (4:04:56 PM) Pleb_Wilt: The medics continue attempting to pat down the two machines with blankets.
  623. (4:05:01 PM) SweatwaveLover: The smoke from the pyre climbs in to the clear night sky.
  624. (4:05:09 PM) TheRaven: "Oh god. No."
  625. (4:05:23 PM) Tehpillowstar: ~I could helped saved him...~
  626. (4:05:23 PM) Snowshoe: Alex looks down at Chloe, back and the flaming wreckage, and tries to find someone to put back together.
  627. (4:05:33 PM) Snowshoe: *back at
  628. (4:05:37 PM) SweatwaveLover: They aren't having much luck. The fire is in full swing, and there's nothing they have that will stop it.
  629. (4:06:05 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Once they realize this, they reluctantly back away.
  630. (4:06:30 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Two head over to the truck, hopping into the seats and driving it off to Medical with Ross and Stoat.
  631. (4:06:37 PM) Tehpillowstar: Her maniac energy to save Murphy deflates. She feels the hot heat of the fire through her winter clothing, but doesn't move.
  632. (4:06:54 PM) Snowshoe: Anybody still around looking like they need help?
  633. (4:07:05 PM) Tehpillowstar: In her mind, she sees the millions of possibilites of how she might of saved Murphy...
  634. (4:07:18 PM) TheRaven: Taggart is just sort of...down. Kneeling in the mud, staring.
  635. (4:07:20 PM) Soulless: Stoat attempts to talk to Quinn. "Is he ok, is he ok..."
  636. (4:07:30 PM) Soulless: She whimpers.
  637. (4:07:53 PM) SweatwaveLover: Occasionally, the burning machines groan as the metal warps, small explosions going of inside.
  638. (4:08:15 PM) Snowshoe: Alex, feeling rather useless, walks back over to Chloe and attempts to hand her a shock blanket.
  639. (4:08:16 PM) Strife left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
  640. (4:08:27 PM) Condorito: "Don't know, but your job right now is to lie down, stay calm, and not move until I can get a decent radiologist to look at your spine."
  641. (4:08:28 PM) Tehpillowstar: Is this all her fault? Perhaps she could of ran to Murphy and pulled him out instead of searching Stoat...Did giving Taggart the weapon made her responsible?
  642. (4:09:18 PM) Strife [~androirc@synIRC-66E1CAE8.sub-70-195-192.myvzw.com] entered the room.
  643. (4:09:18 PM) Tehpillowstar: "I'm sorry."
  644. (4:09:41 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe then buries her face in her hands and sobs.
  645. (4:09:47 PM) Soulless: Stoat's in no mood to argue.
  646. (4:10:03 PM) SweatwaveLover: The sickly scent of fuel is overwhelming. As Alex watches, the main tank on the excavator goes up with an almighty roar.
  647. (4:10:19 PM) Snowshoe: Is Chloe close enough to be burned by that?
  648. (4:10:37 PM) Condorito: Quinn points at Chloe. "Shush. You did everything right. Now help me make sure that these two stay warm, alright?"
  649. (4:10:38 PM) SweatwaveLover: No.
  650. (4:10:46 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe doesn't flinch.
  651. (4:11:01 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Quinn, Chloe is back at the giant burning heap. You are in the back of the truck.
  652. (4:11:17 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Which is currently driving off towards Medical.
  653. (4:11:24 PM) Condorito: Ah. I thought she jumped on the back of the truck. Nevermind.
  654. (4:11:24 PM) Tehpillowstar: In the light of the Murphy's Chloe has her own personal moment of grief.
  655. (4:11:29 PM) Tehpillowstar: *Murphy's pyre
  656. (4:11:36 PM) Snowshoe: Alex rubs a spot on his arm as he stares at the wreckage, then drapes the blanket over Chloe's shoulders and tries to lift her out of the snow.
  657. (4:14:11 PM) Tehpillowstar: She tugs away from Alex's touch. ~Leave me alone.~
  658. (4:14:28 PM) Snowshoe: "Hypothermia's a bitch."
  659. (4:15:20 PM) Tehpillowstar: The fire is still hot. Chloe's not getting cold anytime soon.
  660. (4:16:20 PM) Snowshoe: Alex shrugs and pulls up a seat somewhere near her.
  661. (4:16:49 PM) Tehpillowstar: She doesn't rise from the mud even though her knees are now wet and cold.
  662. (4:19:13 PM) Snowshoe: Alex stays where he is, watching for anything overtly bad.
  663. (4:21:45 PM) TheRaven left the room (quit: Quit: Sail away where no ball and chain can keep us from the roarin' waves, together undivided but forever we'll be free!).
  664. (4:22:24 PM) Pleb_Wilt: The truck arrives at Medical. The two medics hop out quickly, opening up the bed as they grab Stoat's stretcher first, carefully pulling her out and carrying her inside.
  665. (4:22:39 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Two more medics come out from Medical and get Ross, bringing him inside, too.
  666. (4:23:21 PM) Tehpillowstar: Is the fire still going?
  667. (4:23:30 PM) Strife: Yes
  668. (4:23:33 PM) tretter: Ross is conscious, barely.
  669. (4:25:24 PM) Snowshoe: Alex taps Chloe's shoulder.
  670. (4:25:47 PM) Tehpillowstar: Chloe rises, then walks away to medical without a word.
  671. (4:26:19 PM) Snowshoe: Alex watches her go, then returns to his seat near the blaze.
  672. (4:27:06 PM) Obtusepanda left the room (quit: Quit: ).
  673. (4:27:09 PM) Pleb_Wilt: Ross and Stoat are moved from the stretchers to beds, where they're both immediately given something to knock them out.
