TSW: Session 6 "They Feel Down a Burning Ring of Fire."

[19:47]	Terra	idly picks her nose
[19:48]	IcePickLobotomy	You have all returned home from the restaurant outing and go to sleep. Then the sirens start ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIos0ya-yss ) and you snap awake one and all. You can hear Artyom and Walker pounding down the hallway. "UPUPUP! GET UP! NOW!"
[19:51]	IcePickLobotomy	Rosemary, Kaimana, Amy_Adams, Terra: As you get out of bed you can see out the windiw. The clouds are brightly lit by some massive reddish-orange light above them. It flickers and dances like fire behind fog, and is slowly growing larger.
[19:55]	-->|	Rosemary (chatzilla@SystemNet-EC33B01D.reshall.wwu.edu) has joined #TSWIC
[19:55]	Amy_Adams	rubs her eyes and looks back at the sky
[19:56]	Terra	jolts upright
[19:57]	IcePickLobotomy	You are quickly shepherded by Walker and Artyom into the emergency elevator, both still in their night clothes. Walker slams the release button and your stomachs drop as it rapidly descends into the base. Walker briefs you during the ride. "INTRUDER detected over the base. We are going to deploy all of you immediately . Primary objective is to destroy the INTRUDER, secondary is to maintain...
[19:57]	IcePickLobotomy	...OUTRIDER combat capabilities. Any other considerations are irrelevant. Understood?!"
[19:58]	Kaimana	Retroactively to Amy: "Good morning."
[19:58]	Rosemary	"Yes ma'am."
[19:58]	Amy_Adams	shakes her head a bit to wake up
[19:59]	Amy_Adams	"Good morning"
[19:59]	Kaimana	"Of course, Lieutenant.
[19:59]	Kaimana	"Amy, watch your head."
[20:00]	Amy_Adams	rubs head "yeah"
[20:01]	Kaimana	A small gleam enters Kaimanas eyes and she grabs Amy's hand excitedly, "This time, we kill them!"
[20:01]	IcePickLobotomy	The elevator comes to a stop. A large cargo bay, mostly bare. The Alert Siren is still blaring, and you can see workers rushing to a fro. Then a pale gold-ish beam slices across the room.  It catches a worker and hovers over him a moment. He screams in agony, a fearful animalistic noise that sets you teeth on edge. The beam moves on, and the man collapses, sobbing incoherently as some of the...
[20:01]	IcePickLobotomy	...others rush to him.
[20:02]	Terra	fidgets excitedly
[20:02]	Amy_Adams	"oh...my"
[20:02]	Rosemary	"Bloody hell was that?"
[20:02]	IcePickLobotomy	"[God in heaven what is that?]" Artyom mutters in russian. Walker looks the scene over a moment bevore grabbing Amy "Come one lets go, we don't have time to stand around!"
[20:03]	Amy_Adams	"But.. is he gonna be ok?"
[20:03]	Kaimana	yells to the man, 'What did you hear?! Could you hear anything?" Before presumably being ushered to Unit 00
[20:05]	Kaimana	To Amy_Adams: "Probably not, but don't worry, we just do our job, see you all topside!"
[20:05]	IcePickLobotomy	"Doesn't matter but we are all dead if we don't kill it *now* Amy. Deal with it later." She and Arytom dragging you along as you sprint down the concrete hallways. Every so often you will come across a worker laying on the ground, sobbing, rocking back and forth, or in once case trying to jam a sidearm under there chin before Artyom clubs him into unconsciousness with his rifle butt.
[20:06]	IcePickLobotomy	Your plug-suits await you in the eva bay, and a small curtaned off changing room. You can hear the workers scurrying around and the intercome crackling.
[20:09]	Amy_Adams	"TIME TO DANCE WITH THE DUKE" there was extra inflection on duke
[20:09]	Kaimana	"Oh and Terra. Be careful."
[20:09]	Terra	laughs
[20:09]	Rosemary	"Bugger you all, let's get this over with."
[20:10]	IcePickLobotomy	You settle into your OUTRIDERs as soon as you change. You lean back in the seat as the LCL fills the entry-plug. A electirical whir as the A-3 implant connects to the base of your skull, a sharp icy spike of pain that rapidly fades.
[20:11]	Amy_Adams	"Amy and Duke, ready to roll!"
[20:12]	IcePickLobotomy	{CRYOGENIC SYSTEMS: ONLINE, SENSOR SYSTEMS: ONLINE, PHILOSOPHER UNLINK ESTABLISHED . . . } Your screens rapidly flick through the diagnostics, all systems green. {OUTRIDER: ONLINE. GOOD LUCK!}
[20:12]	Kaimana	"Palakiko, synced in Unit Zero, ready to deploy."
[20:13]	Kaimana	"Thank you, Philosophers."
[20:16]	IcePickLobotomy	Walker's voice crackles through the comms, heavily distorted by interference. "Launching Outriders to Sector-7. Sector is heavily developed, however collateral damage is not a concern. Target appears to be hovering some 60 meters above the ground. Recon drones where engaged with a long ranged Directed Energy Weapon. Be advised. Launching in 10. . 9. . 8. . .7 . . ."
[20:23]	IcePickLobotomy	The G-forces slam as you the launch rails activate. A moment later you find yourself standing on the streets, weapons at the ready. You notice the INTRUDER immedatly. It's massive, easily dwarfing the OUTRIDERS. It is a massive ring made of fire covered in eyes within eyes of varying sized. Most bubble to the surface before sinking back down, but many remain. From many of the eyes remaining...
[20:23]	IcePickLobotomy	...eye a pale goldfish beam emerges, like the one that hit the man. The beams are about the width of the your unit's finger. They dart and flicker across the landscape, stopping occasionally before moving on.
[20:23]	IcePickLobotomy	[You are at LONG range. Rosemary: Your turn.]
[20:24]	IcePickLobotomy	*Goldish
[20:29]	Rosemary	trots forward a few steps before pausing and spreading A.T. field
[20:30]	IcePickLobotomy	One of the eyes looks at you. More bubble forth from it's body as the beams of light play across your units. Their trail is like something dragging it's nails across *you*."
[20:30]	Rosemary	sharp intake of breath
[20:32]	Amy_Adams	raises her A.T. field and skips closer gun in hand
[20:35]	Kaimana	saunters alongside Amy and deploys her field.
[20:37]	IcePickLobotomy	More of the lights gather when suddenly they all stop. "What the hell? It's hitting the Philosopher system? What is it doing?" you hear Walker over the radio. Then a massive eye grows forth, and a intense beam of light shots down into the ground. "Pilots! It's doing something with to the Philosophers! Stop it!" You can hear screaming from the radio as well.
[20:38]	Terra	confidently steps forward to join the group and deploys her field
[20:39]	IcePickLobotomy	A new eye grows forth, this one inorganic, more like a stlyized metal carving of gold. A lance pf energy sweeps out at Terra.
[20:49]	Amy_Adams	"Hold fast Terra, we can take him!"
[20:49]	IcePickLobotomy	Terra: As the lance of energy strikes you, your heart hammers and every instinct screams in absoltute terror.
[20:50]	IcePickLobotomy	With Amy's words though, you are able to ignore the fear. . .
[20:55]	IcePickLobotomy	"Pilots, whatever it's doing you need to stop it *now* the Philosphers are going haywire here!"
[20:55]	Dorje	advances cautiously
[20:56]	IcePickLobotomy	Another eye bubbles forth, this time apperaing to be made of reddish clay. A brillant crimson lance strikes out at Amy_Adams.
[20:59]	IcePickLobotomy	It slides across the armor, singing it but otherwise doing nothing.

[21:05]	IcePickLobotomy	"Cut the feed! It's feeding them junk data!"
[21:09]	Rosemary	quickly aims and fires off two shots in quick succession
[21:11]	IcePickLobotomy	The two rounds scream down range, windows shattering from the hyper-sonic fletchets as they pass. They slam into the angel's AT field and shatter.
[21:15]	IcePickLobotomy	The INTRUDER stops a moment, and the it's surface boils as eyes pour forth, unblinking and ceaseless. Each and everyone staring at you unblinkingly as blood and vital fluid pour onto the ground.
[21:15]	Rosemary	"Fuck--"
[21:15]	Kaimana	"Good shot."
[21:16]	IcePickLobotomy	(Soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc_g9uI6URU )
[21:26]	Rosemary	"FUCK--"
[21:26]	Amy_Adams	"Rose, we gotta do this together, stay with us."
[21:27]	Rosemary	"Rodger!"
[21:31]	Amy_Adams	"Here I come" Amy mutters to herself
[21:32]	IcePickLobotomy	The eye's submerge back into the INTRUDER. A beam arks out at Kaimana.
[21:34]	IcePickLobotomy	The beam slams into Kaimana's head and detonates with a muffled fwomp. A viscious flaming fliud clings to the unit's head.
[21:39]	Kaimana	struggles futilely against the napalm-like liquid, unable to stop or remove the flames.
[21:39]	IcePickLobotomy	The Angel fires another beam, from a gold eye this time. The goldish bolt of energy strikes Amy_Adams in the chest
[21:42]	Terra	cautiously steps forward,  looking for an opening
[21:42]	IcePickLobotomy	Another red beam streaks for Kaimana.
[21:43]	Kaimana	manages to stumble out of the path of the second projectile.
[21:45]	IcePickLobotomy	Two eyes burst forth, one fires again at Kaimana, the other at Amy_Adams
[21:46]	Dorje	moves close enough to attack but hesitates
[21:50]	Rosemary	takes two steps forward and then pauses, waiting
[21:52]	Terra	notices Rosemary standing near her
[21:52]	Terra	"Alright Rose, first to pull out one of it's eyes wins"
[21:52]	Amy_Adams	throws her field up to negate the blast
[21:53]	Rosemary	"Bugger off, we put it down before we make bets, bloody Christ!"

[21:54]	IcePickLobotomy	The large eye twitches as another beam of energy arks out to Terra this time.
[21:55]	IcePickLobotomy	Seeing that it was dodged it fires another beam.
[22:02]	Terra	jumps back out of fear
[22:03]	Terra	shudders and starts climbing a nearby building, perching on top
[22:03]	IcePickLobotomy	Another crimson lance lashes out at Amy_Adams.
[22:07]	Dorje	stabs at the eye with her spear
[22:10]	IcePickLobotomy	The spear glances off the INTRUDER, a few flmaing droplets splatter onto the ground. A eye grows forth before your eyes and fires, bit it skims past your head, detonating a building half a mile down the street.

[22:20]	Rosemary	fires off a shot with her hand cannon, then makes a wild swipe with her knife in her off hand
[22:22]	IcePickLobotomy	The INTRUDER doesn't even raise it's field as the 2 rounds skip off it's exterior, a trail of flaming liquid arching into the sky from the impacts. Lazily one of it's eyes lash out at Rosemary, but it slams into the ground at her feet, carving a deep crater into the ground.
[22:31]	Amy_Adams	"Taste Gaussy vengence" Amy says as she unleashes three rounds of gauss into the INTRUDER
[22:33]	IcePickLobotomy	The storm of hypersonic flechets slam into a solid AT Field, bits of shrapnel bounce around, tearing gouges into the street and holes into buildings. It lets less a crimson bolt at Amy_Adams in reply, but it sails past her, detonating somewhere beyond the battlefield with a spray of fire.
[22:36]	IcePickLobotomy	"its. .  It's pushing it back! Intrusion levels dropping across sectors 2,5, and 9! Nietzche is already clear and is moving to assist the other!" Kerensky's voice crackles acrosss your comms.
[22:41]	Kaimana	snarls over the radio foregoing advancing on the target to let off a volley of gauss rounds.
[22:43]	IcePickLobotomy	Again it raises it's field, noticable weaker this time, as the rounds smash and shatter against it. It snaps off a shot at Kaimana, but she ignores it as it misses. She strides though the fire, flmas licking at her her heels.
[22:51]	Terra	lunges off the building, shoulder aimed directly at the INTRUDER
[22:51]	Terra	slams into the being at full force, attempting to bring it to the ground
[22:51]	IcePickLobotomy	Terra: You swear you see the eyes widen in surprise as you impact.
[22:52]	IcePickLobotomy	The INTRUDER lists to the side as Terra clings to it with one arm, dangling some dozen meters from the fround, her power cord slmaing into a car and crushing it. A eye opens op and tries to strike her, but she jerks her head out of the way, singing the pain.
[22:53]	IcePickLobotomy	Then it rises back up, Terra still on it
[22:55]	Terra	"DIE!"
[22:57]	Dorje	charges in swiftly aiming at the eye
[22:58]	IcePickLobotomy	The eye blinks just in time to raise a field and deflect the blow.
[23:01]	IcePickLobotomy	The largest eye blinks, the beam reappearing. Slowly it flicker across the eva's. For a brief moment you feel a intensely unpleasant pressure before it settles on Kaimana. . .
[23:03]	Kaimana	's arms fall limp and Unit 00 staggers back aimlessly for a moment. Then there is a horrendous scream, half from the outrider and half deafening over the comms systems.
[23:03]	Kaimana	"S͋ͦ̌͗T̍O̝̓ͫP̝̱͙̈́̐ͬͫ̓ͩͧ ̙̘͍ͪͧ̂ͮ͋͆T̾ͨͧÂ͍͓̥͓̫̦̺̂L̹̯̙͉̺̤̾ͯ͊Kͬͧͭ̉̓ͨI̗̜̼̙̪̠͎͋́͆͐̿N͌͗̐ͯG̦̩̩̍͑ͯͭͪͅ ͔̇T̫͓̰͓͔͚̅̇̈Ō̦̋͂̒ͅ ͓̣̩̞ͪͩ̐̒M̥̲̠͖̬E̠͓̭͕̮ͣ̃͊"
[23:04]	Rosemary	"Kaimana--What's your status?"
[23:04]	Kaimana	"I CAN'T UNDErSTAND YOU, LEAVE ME ALONE"
[23:04]	Amy_Adams	"Kai whats wrong?"
[23:04]	Kaimana	"THIS ISN'T IT, WE'RE NOT READY"
[23:04]	Kaimana	"GET AWAY FROM ME"
[23:05]	Dorje	"Kaimana! Focus on our voices!"
[23:05]	Kaimana	Unit 00 falls to its knees bashing it's head into the ground digging massive ruts into the concrete.
[23:06]	IcePickLobotomy	"What the hell is going on up there?! Increase the feedback barriers! Cut the sync! Cut it the sync now! CUT IT GOD DAMNIT!" Walker screams
[23:06]	Rosemary	"Pick your shit up Kaimana, we're not finished here yet!"
[23:06]	Terra	"Do I need to come down there and stop you?"
[23:07]	Amy_Adams	looks up at the eye "Take me instead!"
[23:08]	Rosemary	"Oh hell, Amy no--"
[23:10]	Rosemary	fires off two point-blank shots with the hand cannon and slashes forward again with her knife
[23:13]	IcePickLobotomy	Both rounds punch through the AT field, the hypersonic rounds goucing eva-fist sized holes through the Intruder, covering the area in famling blodd. The knife comes next, shredding apart the surprsingly soft flesh in a torrent of blood and flames.
[23:23]	IcePickLobotomy	It lets lose two bolts at Rosemary, catching her in the chest, even as she reinforces her armor with her field. Her torso is covered in viscous flames as heat warning blare and shriek.
[23:24]	Rosemary	wordless snarl
[23:24]	Amy_Adams	"Leave-Her-ALONE" Amy screams after each shot leaves the barrel
[23:25]	IcePickLobotomy	The INTRUDER doesn't even raise it's field as several rounds perforate it's body tearring massive chunks out of it. Eyes bleed as they call into the ground.

[23:28]	Kaimana	staggers to her feet and begins stumbling towards the Intruder, obviously blind.
[23:29]	Kaimana	"I'M TRYING, PLEASE, I'M...SO CLOSE." Then you hear a choking pained noise as she falls to her knees again.
[23:32]	Terra	"You got this, Kaimana, stick through it!"
[23:32]	Amy_Adams	"yes fight back with us Kai!"
[23:33]	Terra	yells as she dangles almost laughably from the INTRUDER
[23:36]	Terra	, still dangling by one arm, swings her hammer at the large eye
[23:40]	IcePickLobotomy	The beam slams into Rosemary, punching clean through the torso {AUTOEJECT ACTIVATED} and the plug sails away. Even as the body catches fire and begins to burn. slumping on the ground.
[23:41]	IcePickLobotomy	(Ignore the autoeject for now)

[23:45]	=-=	Rosemary_ is now known as Rosemary
[23:45]	IcePickLobotomy	It pauses observing a memory of your father, his skin bloated and twisted by The Red Plague, his hand too swollen to hold the knife as he begged you to end it. A sense of morbid curiosity as it replays the memory over and over and over again. |WHY?| |FUTILITY|
[23:46]	IcePickLobotomy	It brings it's AT field up, deflecting the hammer's strike. It fires a reddish beam at Amu_Adams.
[23:47]	IcePickLobotomy	I ahve like, 13 tabs open here
[23:48]	Kaimana	babbles incoherently.

[23:51]	Amy_Adams	throws up her field to deflect the blow
[23:53]	IcePickLobotomy	It fires twice more at Amy_Adams but misses as the eyes wobbly on unsteady flesh.
[23:58]	Dorje	Lunges frantically for the eye, plunging her spear as deep as she can
[23:59]	IcePickLobotomy	It's AT field, as weak and feeble as it is, is enough to delfect the blow.
[00:00]	Kaimana	"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN THIS!"
[00:00]	IcePickLobotomy	Twice more it lashes out at Amy_Adams, the first beam missing, but the secound strikes true.
[00:01]	Kaimana	"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"
[00:02]	Kaimana	"THIS CAN'T BE-IT'S NOT RIGHT"
[00:03]	IcePickLobotomy	The secound beam catches Amy in the head, the impact and heat metl and slag it as molten metla and flesh run down the stump of that was it's neck. The unit collapes
[00:11]	Terra	swings a mighty blow with her hammer, striking for the center eye yet again
[00:11]	IcePickLobotomy	It's AT Field takes the blow flickering and dimming.
[00:14]	IcePickLobotomy	Again it fires, this time at Terra, trying to remomove the pesky OUTRIDER, but failing to land a blow.
[00:14]	Terra	"You want some!?"
[00:15]	IcePickLobotomy	"WHat do you mean unit-0 won't respond?! CUt the fucking sync now! eject the plug, just get her out of there!" Kerensky is shouting, voice strained and half sobbing.
[00:16]	IcePickLobotomy	It fires twice more at Terra.
[00:20]	Terra	relentlessly swings at the being's face-analogue
[00:21]	IcePickLobotomy	It absorbs the impact with it's at field and reatilates.
[00:28]	Dorje	viciously  stabs at the eye in a desperate attempt to make anything better
[00:28]	IcePickLobotomy	Then the light dims and fades, leaving Kaiman's eva as the eye retracks back into it's body.
[00:29]	IcePickLobotomy	as it deflects the spear with it's AT field
[00:33]	Kaimana	shoots it
[00:33]	Terra	"GO GET'EM!"
[00:33]	IcePickLobotomy	It raises it's AT Field, the rounds bounching and shattering off it, but noticable weakining.
[00:34]	IcePickLobotomy	Two eyes burt forth and take fire at Kaimana
[00:37]	IcePickLobotomy	It fires again at Kaimana, strikcking her left arm.
[00:41]	IcePickLobotomy	This time it slage the left shoulder pylon, leaving a ruined mass of metal and flesh.
[00:42]	Terra	's Eva bites at the glowing eye, attempting to tear it from its soft flesh
[00:43]	IcePickLobotomy	The radio crackles a distant voice, distroted by a mask. "Central, this is Rain-Maker-1 on site and standing by. N2 Fusion lance on armed and awaiting deployment orders." Walker's voice crackles back "Roger that Rain-Maker-1. Stand by and await further orders."
[00:44]	IcePickLobotomy	Unit-02 tears a chunk of flesh free, growling as blood and vital fluid dribble onto the streets below.
[00:46]	IcePickLobotomy	And it tears again and again in a feral frenzy, letting chunks of flesh fall to the ground. The INTRUDER screams.
[00:49]	Terra	"TASTES GOOD, DOESN'T IT!?" Terra shouts, driven by adrenaline
[00:50]	Dorje	lunges forward thrusting her spear as hard as she can
[00:50]	IcePickLobotomy	The spear punches through the eye, a mass of vital fliud poors down, washing the blood from your eva and carrying away debries and cars on the street.
[00:51]	IcePickLobotomy	{IR PATTERN WEAKENING. KiLl iT NoW.}
[00:53]	IcePickLobotomy	A eye bursts forth and fires at Kaimana.
[00:56]	IcePickLobotomy	And it carves a massive gouge through unit-0, which catches fire and collapses.
[00:57]	IcePickLobotomy	"Unit-0 down. Kiamana is not responding."
