[2011-04-14 18::24:00] Doink: [DATE: MARCH 17th, 2016]
[2011-04-14 18::24:15] Doink: [LOCATION: THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN—COORDINATES 47s 126w]
[2011-04-14 18::25:49] Doink: Still deep in the bowels of a blasphemous temple of an abominable ancient god, the party has finally reunited. A good thing, now that they know they are not alone.
[2011-04-14 18::28:53] Doink: The room that you find yourself in is long and low-ceilinged. There is an ornate doorway on the far end of the room, as well as a pool of water in a corner which Unit 05 has begun to sink into.
[2011-04-14 18::29:28] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Girl can't ever seem to wait for us, can she?"
[2011-04-14 18::29:48] Mia_al-Misiri: potters over to the doorway.
[2011-04-14 18::29:53] Mia_al-Misiri: "Dad what's through here?"
[2011-04-14 18::31:14] Henri_DEllaine: trudges towards the middle of the room, spear gripped firmly at full haft.
[2011-04-14 18::31:28] Doink: Al-Misiri: "I can't tell for sure... given the scale of this area, I would guess that this was an antechamber for the deep one's living areas. They probably used that fold you came in through to exit to the Temple during worship."
[2011-04-14 18::32:04] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Be careful. You've caught them off-guard, but even in this devolved state they might still have some soldiers, or even a working defense system, somewhere."
[2011-04-14 18::32:32] Mia_al-Misiri: does another ping, creeping her AT field widely over everyone.
[2011-04-14 18::33:55] Ruru_Fields: "Forgive me for not being terribly worried."
[2011-04-14 18::34:56] Dmitriy_Platonov: "You should be worried. Don't trust this place. It can be a huge trap."
[2011-04-14 18::34:58] Doink: Unit 05 sinks down about 50-60 meters before hitting bottom. The water is dank and murky, visibility is almost nil.
[2011-04-14 18::35:35] John_Kilanger: hops into the pool Ruru went into.
[2011-04-14 18::36:17] Ruru_Fields: moves out of John's way. "Yeah, it's a trap alright."
[2011-04-14 18::36:33] Henri_DEllaine: follows suit, Unit 03 dunking into the pool.
[2011-04-14 18::36:39] Kazimir_Prochazka: shakes his head and hufts his fat eva into the water with a plop.
[2011-04-14 18::36:53] Mia_al-Misiri: "...There are still things here!"
[2011-04-14 18::36:58] John_Kilanger: "Well at elast we know it's one.
[2011-04-14 18::37:02] Mia_al-Misiri: makes to knock on the door.
[2011-04-14 18::37:02] John_Kilanger: least*
[2011-04-14 18::37:13] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Well if we're going to be trapped we might as well be at full strength. Apologies commander, I just don't need to hear Ruru scream in terror at being attacked by fish people."
[2011-04-14 18::37:18] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Come on Mia, swimming time."
[2011-04-14 18::37:31] Doink: 04 sinks to the bottom as well. Slightly faster than 05 does.
[2011-04-14 18::37:44] Mia_al-Misiri: stops.
[2011-04-14 18::37:47] Mia_al-Misiri: "What for?"
[2011-04-14 18::37:52] Mia_al-Misiri: looks to Kaz's eva.
[2011-04-14 18::38:47] Kazimir_Prochazka: "We just shouldn't split up. This place apparently does that for us."
[2011-04-14 18::42:36] Mia_al-Misiri: "...Okay!"
[2011-04-14 18::42:41] Mia_al-Misiri: goes and gets in.
[2011-04-14 18::44:05] Doink: For those who have the sensors for it, there seems to be a rounded tunnel leading off in a straight line. You can detect the edges of what look like branching paths up ahead.
[2011-04-14 18::44:35] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Well, we're in a tunnel. Now what?"
[2011-04-14 18::46:36] Ruru_Fields: "I cant believe I'm saying this... We let Mia lead, she's the one who can sense the thing."
[2011-04-14 18::46:59] Henri_DEllaine: "Well then, Kaz, should you or I take the back?"
[2011-04-14 18::47:26] Mia_al-Misiri: does weird things to the water as she descends. It swirls and bubbles.
[2011-04-14 18::48:32] Kazimir_Prochazka: holds his rifles up a bit, then lets his arms hang to his sides.
[2011-04-14 18::48:51] Kazimir_Prochazka: "I think I'll do no good down here anyways. I'll watch our back."
[2011-04-14 18::49:01] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Just uh...be ready to help me."
[2011-04-14 18::49:19] John_Kilanger: "If you want, I can lend you my sword until We're out of the water."
[2011-04-14 18::49:44] Henri_DEllaine: "I'll follow up behind Mia, then."
[2011-04-14 18::50:00] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Let's just hurry up. I've still got a prog knife, if worst comes to worst."
[2011-04-14 18::51:11] Ruru_Fields: "Oh sure, they say, just capture the avatar, that's not a horrible idea. Risk you neck in an underwater fight against fish people. It'll be fine."
[2011-04-14 18::51:33] John_Kilanger: "Alright, since Henri's following Mia, I'll stay near the rear."
[2011-04-14 18::51:49] Mia_al-Misiri: "...What are we doing?"
[2011-04-14 18::52:00] Mia_al-Misiri: flails around in the water a bit.
[2011-04-14 18::52:17] Kazimir_Prochazka: "You're leading us to the...avatar thing."
[2011-04-14 18::52:25] Ruru_Fields: "You're leading us to the big signature, eyes on the prize alien girl."
[2011-04-14 18::53:31] Dmitriy_Platonov: "You are trying to find the sleeping, not yet fully awaken Avatar. Which, in case of it awakening, would become a foe more dangerous than you fought before."
[2011-04-14 18::53:32] Doink: Anyone back on the bridge will see Dr. Al-Misiri wince slightly as this come over the comms.
[2011-04-14 18::53:37] Mia_al-Misiri: doesn't pay attention.
[2011-04-14 18::55:55] Henri_DEllaine: steps infront of Mia. "Come on, just follow me and tell me if your sensors pick up anything new. We'll be there before you know it."
[2011-04-14 18::56:08] Mia_al-Misiri: "Okay!"
[2011-04-14 18::56:18] Mia_al-Misiri: follows when Henri moves.
[2011-04-14 18::56:34] Mia_al-Misiri: "Hello Mr Cthulhu?"
[2011-04-14 18::57:24] Dmitriy_Platonov: almost dies from heart attack after this line, but doesn't even show it.
[2011-04-14 18::57:29] Kazimir_Prochazka: is no less fat underwater.
[2011-04-14 18::57:32] Henri_DEllaine: proceeds at a steady pace. "Who?"
[2011-04-14 18::57:43] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Mia... how do you know this name?"
[2011-04-14 18::57:58] Mia_al-Misiri: "Yes he's the big sleeping vicar I thought?"
[2011-04-14 18::58:09] John_Kilanger: marches in front of Kaz.
[2011-04-14 18::58:11] Mia_al-Misiri: "The big man."
[2011-04-14 18::58:25] Ruru_Fields: "Why can't Mia stay on one thought, would a little focus actually kill her?"
[2011-04-14 18::58:48] Mia_al-Misiri: "What?"
[2011-04-14 18::58:56] Mia_al-Misiri: is only half paying attention
[2011-04-14 18::59:04] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Oh this is going to be a long, long hallway."
[2011-04-14 18::59:44] Dmitriy_Platonov: maintains a stone face, but it's becoming harder and harder with every second passing.
[2011-04-14 19::00:05] Doink: A short distance down the path is the fork you saw. It's actually an intersection, another pathway crossing at an angle just off from 90 degrees.
[2011-04-14 19::00:20] Doink: To the left, it slopes upwards; to the right, down.
[2011-04-14 19::00:24] Mia_al-Misiri: looks around Henri.
[2011-04-14 19::00:27] Doink: Straight ahead stays the same grade
[2011-04-14 19::00:36] Henri_DEllaine: "Well, we need to go down, correct?"
[2011-04-14 19::00:41] Mia_al-Misiri: "I think we need to go down? The big one is there."
[2011-04-14 19::01:29] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Yay, more water."
[2011-04-14 19::01:32] Mia_al-Misiri: does another ping.
[2011-04-14 19::01:38] Mia_al-Misiri: "No, wait! Go straight on!"
[2011-04-14 19::02:13] Henri_DEllaine: "Forward it is!" Henri continues leading.
[2011-04-14 19::05:21] Doink: The pathway continues, beginning to curve slightly to the right, then left, then right again, in a serpentine fashion.
[2011-04-14 19::05:54] Doink: From what little you can see, it also looks more... unused. Bits of rubble line the floors, and parts of the ceiling are bare stone rather than carved.
[2011-04-14 19::06:46] Mia_al-Misiri: "...This is going the wrong way!"
[2011-04-14 19::06:46] Mia_al-Misiri: stops dead a while after it's started going right.
[2011-04-14 19::07:24] Ruru_Fields: ...
[2011-04-14 19::07:33] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Are you sure, Mia? Doctor, can we help them in finding a way?"
[2011-04-14 19::07:33] Ruru_Fields: "This is so bad."
[2011-04-14 19::07:45] Henri_DEllaine: continues on a few dm, then stops when he realizes Mia isn't following."
[2011-04-14 19::07:55] John_Kilanger: facepalms
[2011-04-14 19::08:37] Doink: Al-Misiri: "All I know is what is coming from your Evas at this point."
[2011-04-14 19::09:03] Kazimir_Prochazka: stays silent.
[2011-04-14 19::10:34] Henri_DEllaine: "Mia, are you sure this won't lead us to him?"
[2011-04-14 19::10:50] » Mia_al-Misiri left the chat room.
[2011-04-14 19::17:52] » Blast joined the chat room.
[2011-04-14 19::18:30] » Blast is now known as Mia_al-Misiri.
[2011-04-14 19::21:18] Mia_al-Misiri: "I think..."
[2011-04-14 19::21:41] Mia_al-Misiri: turns around in a circle slowly, trying to work out what is going on.
[2011-04-14 19::21:48] Mia_al-Misiri: "I don't think this is the right way..."
[2011-04-14 19::24:37] Ruru_Fields: "Why do you think that?"
[2011-04-14 19::25:01] Mia_al-Misiri: "The big man is that way."
[2011-04-14 19::25:04] Henri_DEllaine: "Well, let's just head back to the intersection."
[2011-04-14 19::25:06] Mia_al-Misiri: points.
[2011-04-14 19::25:11] Mia_al-Misiri: "But we're going the other way!"
[2011-04-14 19::28:07] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Mia. You said that this was heading towards the signature before, didn't you?"
[2011-04-14 19::28:37] Mia_al-Misiri: "Yes but now it's going the other way... I dunno!!"
[2011-04-14 19::29:15] Ruru_Fields: "Mia, use your words. Is it behind us or is it in a left or right direction."
[2011-04-14 19::29:21] Dmitriy_Platonov: "This old, long-forgotten path can actually lead to the chamber where it lies in eternal dreamless sleep, where no one dares to disturb it. Or not. I really have no ideas about navigating in the place..."
[2011-04-14 19::29:29] Ruru_Fields: tries to be patient  with this
[2011-04-14 19::29:35] Mia_al-Misiri: "It's in the other direction!"
[2011-04-14 19::29:41] Mia_al-Misiri: flails
[2011-04-14 19::30:04] Doink: Al-Misiri hmms. "It IS possible you are dealing with some sort of non-standard geometry again."
[2011-04-14 19::30:20] Henri_DEllaine: "Why don't we jsut send a scout down?" Frustration is beginning to show in Henri's voice.
[2011-04-14 19::30:26] Mia_al-Misiri: "...So we should just keep going this way?"
[2011-04-14 19::31:38] John_Kilanger: steps forward "I'll check down this hallway. if I don't see anything, I'll head back."
[2011-04-14 19::32:04] Ruru_Fields: facepalms and Kagemaru follows suit.
[2011-04-14 19::32:08] Ruru_Fields: "I'll go too."
[2011-04-14 19::33:01] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Then everyone should go back. You really shouldn't split up in this place."
[2011-04-14 19::34:15] John_Kilanger: sighs, and sends out a ping.
[2011-04-14 19::36:17] John_Kilanger: "Hmm, it seems it's ahead and to the right of us now."
[2011-04-14 19::36:33] John_Kilanger: "With more of the smaller things to the left.
[2011-04-14 19::37:34] Mia_al-Misiri: "Okay. If we keep going this way it might go all the way around maybe?"
[2011-04-14 19::37:42] Mia_al-Misiri: just goes ahead.
[2011-04-14 19::37:59] Henri_DEllaine: quickly keeps closely behind Mia.
[2011-04-14 19::38:08] Mia_al-Misiri: kind of stumbles over the rubble as she advances.
[2011-04-14 19::39:11] Doink: The path winds onwards for a short way before becoming straight again. It also begins to rise slightly upwards.
[2011-04-14 19::39:19] Henri_DEllaine: "Hey... Dmitriy. Once we bring this thing back... what's to keep it from waking up then?"
[2011-04-14 19::39:46] Ruru_Fields: keeps on behind John.
[2011-04-14 19::40:18] Doink: Al-Misiri breaks in on the comm. "The containment field which I sent with you will stop it from being able to manifest any further."
[2011-04-14 19::41:06] Dmitriy_Platonov: "That is the plan. If we hadn't such an equipment on hand, this operation would never been approved."
[2011-04-14 19::41:11] Doink: Eventually, you reach another crossing. The path ahead continues to slant upwards, while the two side paths are level. They cross at an imperfect angle, somewhere just less than 90 degrees.
[2011-04-14 19::43:03] John_Kilanger: "The large signal is still to the right of us."
[2011-04-14 19::43:08] Mia_al-Misiri: "...I think we should just go straight."
[2011-04-14 19::43:21] Mia_al-Misiri: "They are too twisty turny to be able to work out."
[2011-04-14 19::43:49] Mia_al-Misiri: "The fighting peoples will catch us less if we don't stop!"
[2011-04-14 19::43:59] Mia_al-Misiri: leads down the middle path.
[2011-04-14 19::46:34] Doink: The path continues to rise, the walls now becoming more well-kept than before as you go.
[2011-04-14 19::46:56] Doink: Eventually, you can see the faint outline of a square of light somewhere up ahead.
[2011-04-14 19::47:31] Mia_al-Misiri: "We got to a place! Can you see the light!"
[2011-04-14 19::47:40] Mia_al-Misiri: kind of skips as she advances.

[2011-04-14 19::53:02] » Blast is now known as Mia_al-Misiri.
[2011-04-14 19::59:35] Doink: You exit the water into another MASSIVE chamber. Easily as large as the dome, if not larger.
[2011-04-14 20::00:52] Doink: The edges are filled in with water, with dark passageways leading out of it at random intervals. There is a raised platform in the middle, out of the water, which leads up to a massive ziggurat, its sides absolutely covered with—
[2011-04-14 20::01:04] Ruru_Fields: "Jackpot or whiff, what shall it be after the exciting adventure of letting Mia drive.  Someone, not it, should teach her how to cognate in a human fashion, it'd really help cohesion."
[2011-04-14 20::01:27] Doink: ...You can't tell, actually. Because your Eva's OS decides to black out that part of your vision.
[2011-04-14 20::02:25] Doink: Dr. Al-Misir sighs with relief. "That was a close one."
[2011-04-14 20::03:23] Ruru_Fields: "Oh -Really-. We're supposed to pick up the thing we ca- you know what? No. Lets just get the thing in the box and shoot our way out of here -Now-."
[2011-04-14 20::03:48] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Have they reached the place, Doctor? It seems like it..."
[2011-04-14 20::04:04] Mia_al-Misiri: wanders over to the ziggurat.
[2011-04-14 20::04:22] Mia_al-Misiri: "Ooh they're changing."
[2011-04-14 20::04:29] Henri_DEllaine: goes with Mia, keeping his eyes out for attackers.
[2011-04-14 20::05:48] Doink: On the top of the Ziggeraut, atop a set of stairs much to small for your Eva, is a pedestal. Upon it sits a huge sphere of light, its eerie radience providing the light you saw from the water.
[2011-04-14 20::06:11] Doink: Forunately, its stepped sides are a good size to easily climb.
[2011-04-14 20::06:12] John_Kilanger: stays near the entrances, in case anything follows them through.
[2011-04-14 20::06:17] John_Kilanger: entrance*
[2011-04-14 20::06:33] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Bring the containment device to the top and set it up around the core. Do /not/ touch it."
[2011-04-14 20::07:04] Doink: There's a noise from around the side of the pyramid.
[2011-04-14 20::07:36] Doink: Another creature waddles around the corner. It appears to be a deep one, but you've never seen one this... /fat/ before.
[2011-04-14 20::08:21] Doink: It's covered in the rotting scraps of what look like some sort of robe, or many such robes stitched clumsily together. They're filthy.

[2011-04-14 20::08:36] Ruru_Fields: "Guys, do the thing! Hurry!"
[2011-04-14 20::08:53] Doink: It yells something in their gutteral, incomprehensible toungue, and rushes towards Mia and Henri.
[2011-04-14 20::08:55] » Mia_al-Misiri left the chat room.
[2011-04-14 20::09:13] Ruru_Fields: raise her guns at that exact same momment.
[2011-04-14 20::09:22] » Blast is now known as Mia_al-Misiri.
[2011-04-14 20::09:29] John_Kilanger: pings and raises his spear.
[2011-04-14 20::09:58] Henri_DEllaine: "Mia, get to setting up the the field! Using your AT field might wake it up." He shouts as he sets his spear against the thing's charge.
[2011-04-14 20::11:00] Mia_al-Misiri: "Aaaaa!"
[2011-04-14 20::13:52] Mia_al-Misiri: points her pocket pistol in the direction of the charging monster and sprays fletchettes at it.
[2011-04-14 20::14:56] Mia_al-Misiri: doesn't really look.
[2011-04-14 20::15:24] Doink: The "priest" doesn't stand a chance. Chunks of scaled flesh fly off as he topples over backwards onto his girth.
[2011-04-14 20::15:39] Mia_al-Misiri: looks after a moment.
[2011-04-14 20::15:41] Henri_DEllaine: A weird chuckle escapes Henri. "Well... so much for being worried. Good shot."
[2011-04-14 20::15:42] Mia_al-Misiri: "...Oh."
[2011-04-14 20::16:29] Henri_DEllaine: crosses over to the other side of the pyramid, just in case.
[2011-04-14 20::16:59] John_Kilanger: relaxes his stance a little bit while keeping guard at the entrance.
[2011-04-14 20::17:20] Doink: There doesn't appear to be anyone else in the chamber.
[2011-04-14 20::17:33] Mia_al-Misiri: shakes her gun as it fizzes, boiling the water.
[2011-04-14 20::17:43] Mia_al-Misiri: "What now? I have the thingy stuff!"
[2011-04-14 20::18:23] Kazimir_Prochazka: begins shaking off and popping the bolt of his rifles to remove the water.
[2011-04-14 20::18:45] Kazimir_Prochazka: "...I'm no scientist, and you're the most familiar with these things?"
[2011-04-14 20::21:03] Mia_al-Misiri: looks at the containment stuff in her free hand.
[2011-04-14 20::21:12] Mia_al-Misiri: "Dmitriy how does this work?"
[2011-04-14 20::21:17] Mia_al-Misiri: approaches the core.
[2011-04-14 20::21:36] Doink: Al-Misiri: "The device is a cube shape. It should separate into four segments. Place them around the Core."
[2011-04-14 20::22:21] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Right, your father knows this better than me. Others, guard Mia while she performs the containment - and Mia, please be careful with it."
[2011-04-14 20::23:32] Mia_al-Misiri: does as instructed, though clumsily. She gets done soonish though.
[2011-04-14 20::23:43] Mia_al-Misiri: "Ngh.... okay is this right?"
[2011-04-14 20::23:46] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Roger commander."
[2011-04-14 20::24:29] Ruru_Fields: "I would cry if I hadn't sold my tear ducts to the devil for all of my talent."
[2011-04-14 20::24:47] Mia_al-Misiri: "What talent?"
[2011-04-14 20::24:47] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Alright, then.... let me just start the process...."
[2011-04-14 20::24:54] Mia_al-Misiri: steps away from it.
[2011-04-14 20::25:15] Kazimir_Prochazka: chuckles at Mia's comment, then trains his rifles on the container.
[2011-04-14 20::25:20] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Hopefully these don't jam."
[2011-04-14 20::25:33] Doink: The sphere's light begins to pulse.
[2011-04-14 20::25:43] Mia_al-Misiri: "Ooh! It's doing a thing!"
[2011-04-14 20::25:52] Ruru_Fields: "Guns, acrobatics, stringed instruments, and a number of other things I don't with to tip my hand about. Also don't try and snark me young missy, especially since you can't even speak the language fluently."
[2011-04-14 20::26:08] Mia_al-Misiri: "Hm?"
[2011-04-14 20::26:16] Mia_al-Misiri: isn't paying attention. She's watching the core
[2011-04-14 20::26:24] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Ruru? Godchild. Don't burn bridges."
[2011-04-14 20::26:26] Doink: The pulsing increases.
[2011-04-14 20::27:20] Doink: Suddenly, the four segments fly together with a SNAP, encasing the core completely. The room instantly goes dark.
[2011-04-14 20::27:31] Mia_al-Misiri: "Where did it go!"
[2011-04-14 20::27:31] Kazimir_Prochazka: "...Well that was dramatic."
[2011-04-14 20::27:36] Ruru_Fields: "It's called banter, she stole the last kill, it's only fitting." She crosses her arms and raises her chin. "HMPH. Typical"
[2011-04-14 20::27:40] Mia_al-Misiri: "Oh it is in the box."
[2011-04-14 20::27:56] Doink: Al-Misiri lets out a sigh of relief. "Core contained. You can pick it up now, its safe."
[2011-04-14 20::28:18] Mia_al-Misiri: goes and picks it up with two hands.
[2011-04-14 20::28:24] Mia_al-Misiri: "Do we go now?"
[2011-04-14 20::28:42] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Okay, good. Now you can retreat to the point of extraction. Good job."
[2011-04-14 20::28:43] Kazimir_Prochazka: "I'm ok with leaving. A hot shower and a cigarette sounds good after this cold."
[2011-04-14 20::29:54] Mia_al-Misiri: "Okay cool!"
[2011-04-14 20::30:04] Mia_al-Misiri: takes it and skips back toward the exit.
[2011-04-14 20::30:16] Henri_DEllaine: circles around the pyramid, keeping an eye on the back of the dome.
[2011-04-14 20::30:25] John_Kilanger: "Let's hurry up and get out of here."
[2011-04-14 20::30:45] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Agreed."
[2011-04-14 20::31:46] Doink: Al-Misiri:  "Yes. Try to go back the way you came. Retrace your steps as best you can."
[2011-04-14 20::32:11] Ruru_Fields: "And guns forward please, this is the part in the movie where they come out of the vents and the walls."
[2011-04-14 20::32:27] John_Kilanger: begins going down the path "Seems simple enough, since we only went in one direction."
[2011-04-14 20::32:28] Mia_al-Misiri: tries to be attentive to everything around as she sort-of hurries out.
[2011-04-14 20::32:46] Kazimir_Prochazka: "More water. Yay."
[2011-04-14 20::32:47] Henri_DEllaine: "Isn't the whole place supposed to start collapsing it? It's too late for the giant boulder to come rolling through."
[2011-04-14 20::33:18] John_Kilanger: "Guys, I'm picking up more of those small guys. lots of them"
[2011-04-14 20::33:31] Mia_al-Misiri: "Yes we need to gooooooo!!"
[2011-04-14 20::33:32] Doink: As if on cue, you hear distant rumble from somewhere below you.
[2011-04-14 20::33:54] Henri_DEllaine: nearly backs into Mia. "Alright, let's get a move on."
[2011-04-14 20::34:02] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Ruru? Henri? I hate you both."
[2011-04-14 20::35:01] Ruru_Fields: cackles with laughter,
[2011-04-14 20::35:03] John_Kilanger: "Let's just keep moving!"
[2011-04-14 20::35:11] Ruru_Fields: "Oh come on, you love it."
[2011-04-14 20::36:00] Doink: On the bridge....
[2011-04-14 20::36:08] Kazimir_Prochazka: keeps pace with his fat eva steps.
[2011-04-14 20::36:34] Doink: Lt. Jackson: "Spacial anomaly is breaking up! Should we start moving in for extraction Sir?"
[2011-04-14 20::37:19] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Of course! Extraction and fire support if required are our priorities now! We must bring back Evangelions and the Core!"
[2011-04-14 20::39:08] Doink: Lt. Miles: "Roger! Ships moving in! Bring the Eva's to the southeast corner of the island!"
[2011-04-14 20::39:19] Doink: Back in the ruins....
[2011-04-14 20::39:40] Mia_al-Misiri: is hurrying! HURRYING
[2011-04-14 20::39:48] Doink: The rumbling is increasing.
[2011-04-14 20::40:20] John_Kilanger: keeps pace with Mia "Move, move, MOVE!"
[2011-04-14 20::41:14] Mia_al-Misiri: "Aaaah! They're catching up!!"
[2011-04-14 20::41:22] Henri_DEllaine: "How much farther... Maybe I should hold them off for a bit."
[2011-04-14 20::41:30] Mia_al-Misiri: stops running and starts floating through the water considerably faster.
[2011-04-14 20::41:39] Mia_al-Misiri: "Nononono just hurry!!"
[2011-04-14 20::41:47] Dmitriy_Platonov: "No one sticks behind! Retreat!"
[2011-04-14 20::41:49] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Henri that's plan B!"
[2011-04-14 20::42:02] Kazimir_Prochazka: activating the rockets, Kaz shouts "This is plan B!"
[2011-04-14 20::42:02] Ruru_Fields: checks her speed just a bit to come in line with Mia. "That's better."
[2011-04-14 20::43:09] John_Kilanger: floats next to Mia, keeping speed with her
[2011-04-14 20::44:07] Doink: You come flying out of the water again in the antechamber.
[2011-04-14 20::44:22] Mia_al-Misiri: leaves with a big splash.
[2011-04-14 20::44:24] Doink: The trembling is noticeble, now. You've got an earthquake on your can.
[2011-04-14 20::44:38] Mia_al-Misiri: "Yaaaaaaoooooh noooooo!"
[2011-04-14 20::44:53] Mia_al-Misiri: "Quiiick!"
[2011-04-14 20::44:57] Doink: *hands
[2011-04-14 20::45:04] Henri_DEllaine: "I apologize for my joke about the place collapsing earlier"
[2011-04-14 20::46:09] Mia_al-Misiri: jets to the exit.
[2011-04-14 20::46:13] Mia_al-Misiri: "Are we nearly there!?"
[2011-04-14 20::46:30] Henri_DEllaine: "Mia, maybe you can do something to bring the house down ontop of them"
[2011-04-14 20::46:33] John_Kilanger: "You should have known this would happen if you said that!"
[2011-04-14 20::46:39] Doink: Al-Misiri: "If the fold is still holding, then yes! Keep moving!"
[2011-04-14 20::46:55] Mia_al-Misiri: "Um!!"
[2011-04-14 20::46:59] Mia_al-Misiri: slows a bit to think.
[2011-04-14 20::47:10] Mia_al-Misiri: "I don't think we have enough time Kazzzz but thankyou anyway!"
[2011-04-14 20::47:19] Mia_al-Misiri: speeds back up.
[2011-04-14 20::47:50] Doink: Outside of the antechamber, the 'tunnel' upwards seems to still be there.
[2011-04-14 20::47:54] Doink: But it looks... longer.
[2011-04-14 20::48:16] Mia_al-Misiri: goes straight up it anyway.
[2011-04-14 20::48:38] Henri_DEllaine: jumps and hits the afterburner, zooming along up the tube with Mia.
[2011-04-14 20::49:23] Ruru_Fields: just flies with evryone else, holding back her speed so as not to outpace the container.
[2011-04-14 20::50:18] John_Kilanger: keeps close to Mia in case anything surprises them.
[2011-04-14 20::50:32] Kazimir_Prochazka: still is going on all cylanders, just sort of dragging along the ground because of his bulk.
[2011-04-14 20::50:51] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Mia, how close are the enemies?"
[2011-04-14 20::50:53] Doink: As you finally clear the mouth of the tunnel, you can see the dome above you begin to crack, huge chunks falling as it begins to crumble under the stress of the earthquake.
[2011-04-14 20::53:21] Mia_al-Misiri: squeaks as she grinds to a halt in midair. Her AT field forms in a huge blue hexagon above herself and the other Evas, and the rocks bounce off it.
[2011-04-14 20::54:21] Mia_al-Misiri: stops once the rocks have finished falling, and opens her eyes.
[2011-04-14 20::54:27] Mia_al-Misiri: "Gooooo!!"
[2011-04-14 20::54:31] Mia_al-Misiri: goes back to rushing.
[2011-04-14 20::54:44] Doink: Above you is now the cloudy grey sky of the far south pacific. There's a storm brewing overhead, masses of clouds curling around each other in the gale-force winds whipping around you.
[2011-04-14 20::54:46] John_Kilanger: "Nice one, mia!"
[2011-04-14 20::55:04] Mia_al-Misiri: "Thankyou!! Where's the thing?!"
[2011-04-14 20::55:45] Doink: Lt Jackson: "Director! The island is... its sinking! Fast!"
[2011-04-14 20::55:47] Ruru_Fields: "I have to say, pretty great job there supergirl."
[2011-04-14 20::56:51] Kazimir_Prochazka: "A boat! Where is the boat!"
[2011-04-14 20::56:52] Dmitriy_Platonov: "At least our pilots are on the surface. The ruins of ancient city are less important than that - and the success of their mission. Proceed with recovery."
[2011-04-14 20::56:56] Doink: You can see the island from the bridge, now, the ugly squat buldings at its edges already sinking beneath the waves.
[2011-04-14 20::57:43] John_Kilanger: "Come on, let's keep going, we're almost there!"
[2011-04-14 20::58:07] Kazimir_Prochazka: continues boostan'
[2011-04-14 20::58:08] Henri_DEllaine: "We'll be back at Arkham before we know it."
[2011-04-14 20::58:17] Doink: From the island, you can see the ships, as well. A series of carriers float off the coast, slowly moving inwards along with the rapidly sinking island.
[2011-04-14 20::58:30] Doink: Water has begun to flood the shaking streets.

[2011-04-14 20::59:57] » Blast is now known as Mia_al-Misiri.
[2011-04-14 21::01:07] Ruru_Fields: floats over to a waiting carrier and sets down lightly as a 40 meter tall mech can.
[2011-04-14 21::01:26] Ruru_Fields: "I hope that was worth it Dmitriy."
[2011-04-14 21::01:44] Kazimir_Prochazka: begins skirting across the ever-sinking ground, using the buildings as spring-boards as the water rises higher. Finally launching off of a submerged rooftop and onto a ship, giving it a noticable tilt in the waves.
[2011-04-14 21::01:51] Kazimir_Prochazka: "Sorry. It's a bit heavy."
[2011-04-14 21::01:53] Henri_DEllaine: A booming crack as Henri dumps the remaining battery into his rockets, Unit 03 roars the rest of the way to the carriers. He touches down with a hard slide. "Let's just hope nothing lets this thing wake up."
[2011-04-14 21::02:46] John_Kilanger: floats onto one of the available carriers. "Finally, somewhere that isn't thaqt godforsaken city."
[2011-04-14 21::02:46] Mia_al-Misiri: keeps high up and watches the island sink, then descends onto the closest carrier. She breathes deeply.
[2011-04-14 21::02:51] Mia_al-Misiri: "Wh... where do I put this?"
[2011-04-14 21::02:55] Mia_al-Misiri: is holding the core.
[2011-04-14 21::03:37] Doink: Al-Misiri: "I'm sending a team out now."
[2011-04-14 21::03:48] Mia_al-Misiri: "Can I put it down please..."
[2011-04-14 21::04:15] Dmitriy_Platonov: "It was worth it. The inhabitant of this city was a creature of great power. Avoiding direct confronatation with him is already priceless, doing that without major injuries is a great success too... and I'm sure that Doctor Al-Misiri will harvest a lot from the core you brought."
[2011-04-14 21::04:31] Doink: On cue, a group of men in armored white haz-mat gear run onto the deck, along with some kind of flatbed vehicle. "Just place it there. We'll get it locked into storage."
[2011-04-14 21::04:56] Mia_al-Misiri: places it down, heavily.
[2011-04-14 21::05:02] Mia_al-Misiri: "...Where do I go now?"
[2011-04-14 21::05:17] Mia_al-Misiri: sits the Eva down, crossing its legs.
[2011-04-14 21::07:30] Dmitriy_Platonov: "You are going to leave your Evangelions and rest. We will be coming back by ship, though - to make the Evangelions able to ensure the safety of the core."
[2011-04-14 21::08:17] Doink: Dr. Al-Misiri gets to his feet. "Good work, everyone. This is a major breakthrough." He nod at Dmitiry. "I'm going to assist my team."
[2011-04-14 21::08:57] Mia_al-Misiri: sits there.
[2011-04-14 21::09:09] Doink: Outside, as the ships move at full thrust away, the last vestiges of the ruined city falling beneath the waves with a sucking sound.
[2011-04-14 21::09:17] Dmitriy_Platonov: "I'll handle the rest, Doctor. Good work indeed. I hope we'll be able to celebrate it once we get a little free time."
[2011-04-14 21::09:37] Doink: There is crack of thunder, a flash that's not entirely like lightning,
[2011-04-14 21::09:41] Doink: And the sea is calm again.
