- <Talonair> Rebecca heads in, carrying her weapons, even her sawn-off concealed under her jacket
- <GreenWolf> Charles enters the briefing room, looking sleepy.
- <Soulless> Gwen steps on.
- * Dmatix (Scone@of.stone) has joined #homeimprovement
- <Soulless> She rubs at her eyes.
- <Daedalus> Colonel heads right on in, already geared up and ready to go.
- <Soulless> "Good evening..."
- <Dmatix> Alexander enters, his limited gear prepared.
- <Dmatix> He nods at the Colonel. "Seems like we're about to put our skills to the test, eh?"
- <weitooGM> As you enter the room, a stern military officer is standing at crisp attention in the head of the room. Two guards flank him on either side, watching you as you enter.
- <weitooGM> Gwen, you recognize him as the major who briefed you when you went to the 8th Day's stronghold
- <weitooGM> He seems to have picked up a few new scars on his face.
- <Sax> Tyler enters the room.
- <Sax> Geared and ready.
- <Sax> He salutes as he enters..
- <Daedalus> Colonel salutes.
- <Dmatix> Alexander salutes, remembering his old military discipline a bit.
- <GreenWolf> Charles salutes lazily. He's not much for military discipline.
- <weitooGM> The major responds with a curt salute as well.
- <weitooGM> He nods slightly at Gwen, in recognition.
- <Talonair> Rebecca folds her arms, raising an eyebrow
- <weitooGM> "At ease, soldiers. Take a seat, and a file."
- <Daedalus> Colonel does so, quickly.
- <weitooGM> He places 6 files on the center of the briefing room table, and slides them forward.
- <Dmatix> Alexander takes a sit and peers at the file given.
- <Talonair> Rebecca takes one, sitting down
- <GreenWolf> Charles picks up a file and flips through it.
- <weitooGM> "My name is Major Reynolds, and that is all you need to know about me."
- <Sax> "Mind tricks? Chemicals?"
- <Talonair> "So what, this a hit operation?"
- <weitooGM> "No one knows."
- <Daedalus> "Would you mind letting the man finish?"
- <Soulless> She plays with her hands more agitatedly, saying nothing.
- <Daedalus> "I'm sure he's going to tell us everything we need to know."
- <Dmatix> "Pardon, Sir. I tend to wonder off when thinking. Please, continue."
- <weitooGM> Major Reynolds ignores the outbursts.

- <weitooGM> "Thsi is not a hit operation by any means. If we knew anything about where he was, it would, but we still don't know anything."
- <weitooGM> "Following your team's raid on their only known stronghold, everything dried up."
- <GreenWolf> "So... it's a recon op?"
- <weitooGM> "All of our scouts have either failed to find a single thing, or were killed and hung from trees."
- <Daedalus> "Jesus; Let him finish."
- <weitooGM> "Fortunately, the organization's raids have ceased to bother us, but we do know that they're still active."
- <weitooGM> "So, as a recap for those who are unaware, or whose pay grades weren't good enough to know before..."
- <weitooGM> "This cult is apparently a bunch of idiotic skip lovers."
- <Sax> "..."

- <Sax> ~Oh, this is going to be a day~
- <weitooGM> "They worship those anomalies and want to bring them into the limelight."
- <Dmatix> "Oh dear. Not this again."
- <Soulless> She holds her hands very, very tightly.
- <weitooGM> "They're a bunch of weirdos though, they use swords and shit, or something."
- * Roosevelt (~jonathane@synIRC-B767E11.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #homeimprovement
- <weitooGM> "Bows and medieval crap."
- <Talonair> "Swords? Seriously?" She laughs
- <weitooGM> Major Reynolds looks at Rebecca sharply.
- <GreenWolf> "A sword is just a deadly as a bullet if you're not prepared for it."
- <weitooGM> "These aren't normal swords, miss. They're anomalous."
- <weitooGM> "How'd you like to defend against a sword that cuts into other dimensions? Eh?"
- <weitooGM> "How's that sound to you?"
- <weitooGM> "Or a bow that shoots arrows that pierce like bullets?"
- <Dmatix> "Like Mumbai, 1950, actually."
- <weitooGM> Major Reynolds waves his hand dismissively.
- <Sax> Tyler notes this, and begins shuffling his gear to get the trauma kits up front."
- <weitooGM> "That's not the point, anyway."
- <weitooGM> "The point is, our intelligence has discovered a veeeery interesting object that the Russians are hiding."
- <weitooGM> "SCP-2925"
- <Roosevelt> "We've classified it even though we don't have it?"
- <weitooGM> "Our intelligence within the Russian government has told us a lot about it."
- * Prior has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
- <weitooGM> "The Russians picked it up in Mexico, apparently. The thing breaks the laws of physics by duplicating energy."
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> "Breaks the Law of conservation of energy, or something like that."
- <weitooGM> "For all of you non-scientists, that means this thing builds up energy."
- * Daedalus has quit (Ping timeout: 368 seconds)
- <GreenWolf> "That sounds bad."
- <weitooGM> "So, you raise the thing a meter in the sky, it gets that much energy stored within it."
- <weitooGM> "You take the thing for a drive, it stores the energy from motion."
- <Dmatix> "Er. Suppose someone was to hit that thing with... a very large bomb?"
- <weitooGM> "Russians have been looking for a limit, but they haven't found one et."
- <weitooGM> Major Reynolds looks at Alex. "That's the shitty part."
- <Roosevelt> "What's the point, sir?"
- <weitooGM> "If that little glass shell breaks, all the energy inside gets released.
- <Roosevelt> "What are we here to do?'
- <weitooGM> "It goes boom, for you nonscientists."
- * Talonair has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- <Dmatix> "Oh dear."
- <weitooGM> Major Reynolds leans into the table, and gestures to the guard, who changes the slide.
- <Sax> "Like Hiroshima?"
- <Dmatix> "And I suppose that includes the force of the bomb itself..."
- * Talonair (Mibbit@synIRC-9DC9B715.red-88-7-48.staticip.rima-tde.net) has joined #homeimprovement
- <weitooGM> "Your job is to steal that thing from the Russians."
- <weitooGM> "Nobody wants those Commie sons a bitches to have it."
- <Dmatix> "Russians? Gah. Why did it have to be Russians?"
- <weitooGM> The slide shows an overhead map
- <weitooGM> A place is marked in red.
- <weitooGM> "You'll be dropped off at these coordinates in Siberia."
- <Soulless> Gwen hopes she will see Father again.
- <GreenWolf> ~Oh body...~
- <GreenWolf> *boy
- <weitooGM> "Our intelligence tells us that the Russians are conducting testing in this region by dropping the object."
- <Soulless> "Luckily, it is summertime."
- <Roosevelt> "Siberia. Great."
- <weitooGM> "You wait until they drop it, you swoop in, and you steal that thing from right under their noses."
- <weitooGM> "Don't uh, get too close."
- <weitooGM> He chuckles.
- <Sax> "..."
- <GreenWolf> "A smash and grab, so to speak."
- <Roosevelt> "We getting any equipment for this? Something to store the object in?"
- <weitooGM> "Essentially, yes."
- <GreenWolf> Charles nods. "Sounds easy enough."
- <Talonair> She grins. "Perfect."
- <Roosevelt> "So none of us accidentally drop the damn thing?'
- <weitooGM> "We don't know anything else about it, agent." He looks at the colonel.
- <Dmatix> "Rats. I knew I should've worked on my Russian."
- <weitooGM> "We don't know any other special properties about it, but we do have this."
- <weitooGM> He takes a box from underneath the table.
- <weitooGM> He opens it up, showing you the contents.
- <Roosevelt> "You said it was a glass ball. A container lined with foam should do."
- <Roosevelt> Colonel looks.
- <weitooGM> It's a box filled with foam, and space for a sphere in the center.
- <weitooGM> (Way to preempt me)
- <Dmatix> "Hah. Rather accurate.
- <weitooGM> (lol)
- <Roosevelt> "Yeah, that'll do."
- <Soulless> "I can hold it until we need it..."
- <Roosevelt> "I'll carry it."
- <weitooGM> "So, we can't exactly wait around in Russian territory because we don't want to start another world war"
- <Soulless> "Okay."
- <Talonair> She nods. "When do we leave?"
- <weitooGM> "Fought in the last one, wouldn't care for another."
- <weitooGM> "So, take these.."
- <Soulless> She lets the person she doesn't know carry it.
- <weitooGM> He places 6 flares on the table.
- <weitooGM> One for each of you.
- <Sax> Tyler takes one.
- <Soulless> She takes a flare.
- <weitooGM> "This will signal for the plane to come and get you out of there."
- <Talonair> She grabs one
- <GreenWolf> Charles grabs a flare. "Hope it's a fast plane. Cause these things'll let the Russians know where we are too."
- <weitooGM> "There is some downtime between when our spy plane sees the thing, and when you can get out."
- <Dmatix> Alexander takes a flare hesitantly.
- <Roosevelt> Colonel tucks it into his vest, then grabs the suitcase box container thing and tucks it into this backpack.
- <weitooGM> "We have a veeeeeery special spy plane that's watching over you guys."
- <weitooGM> "Can't say anything else about it, it's top secret."
- <Talonair> "Above even our paygrade?"
- <weitooGM> "But you will have some time in between when it sees you, and when it can tell the other plane to pick you up.
- <weitooGM> "Above even my paygrade, agent."
- <weitooGM> "You leave immediately."
- <weitooGM> "Good luck, agents."
- <Soulless> "Thank you."
- <Roosevelt> "Thanks."
- <Talonair> She nods
- <GreenWolf> Charles nods. "Thanks."
- <Roosevelt> Colonel heads out towards the motorpool.
- <Dmatix> Alexander sighs. "Righto. Time to grab my Russian dictionary and hope I can polish it off in the time it takes us to get there."
- * Roosevelt is now known as Daedalus
- <Soulless> Gwen heads off to the motorpool. She looks more excited --or agitated-- than usual.
- <Soulless> It's hard to tell with her until you know her.
- <Dmatix> Alexander does so and returns to the motorpool, head already in the book.
- <Sax> Tyler marches to the motorpool.
- <weitooGM> The motorpool is ready to take you to a secret airport.
- <Sax> He's loading shotgun rounds as he moves.
- <Talonair> Rebecca follows them, fishing her sawn-off out of her jacket, checking it's loaded before concealing it again
- <Dmatix> "Damn this language. Bloody hell."
- <Soulless> Gwen sticks near Tyler.
- <weitooGM> Gwen, you feel unexpectedly excited.
- <weitooGM> Well, actually very expectedly.
- <Daedalus> Colonel checks his equipment on the ride there.
- <weitooGM> The major comes jogging out of the base, and towards the motorpool.
- <Dmatix> "один... ещё... вот... blasted hell!"
- <Talonair> Rebecca's loading up Uzi mags
- <Daedalus> He lights up a cigarette, then offers everyone else one.
- <Daedalus> "Don't think I know most of you."
- <GreenWolf> Charles declines. Smoking is a bad habit for a sniper.
- <weitooGM> "Oh, I almost forgot. Try not to start a world war. Be careful, kill only who you have to."
- <Dmatix> Alexander refuses politely "Stopped a few years ago, Sir, but thanks for the offer."
- <Talonair> "Rebecca Powell, nice to meet you." She's got an unusual Hong Kong accent.
- <Sax> "SFC Tyler Zeringue."
- <Soulless> Gwen rocks back and forth.
- <Dmatix> Alexander offers his lighter. "Still carry this around with me though."
- <Soulless> She fidgets, near constantly.
- <weitooGM> THe drivers take you to the airport, where a small plane is waiting.
- <Soulless> She accepts the cigarette offered with a thankyou, then fidgets with the cigarette.
- <Daedalus> "China girl, right?"
- <Dmatix> Alexander returns to his book. "To say... говорить... to say... говорить..."
- <Daedalus> "And, eh, who are you?" He asks Gwen.
- <Talonair> Rebecca glances at Gwen, before nodding at Colonel. "Parents're British expats, I was born in Hong Kong."
- <Soulless> "I am Gwendolyn Raverat. I am a nurse."
- <Daedalus> "YOu alright?"
- <Soulless> The cigarette progressively disintegrates in her hands.
- <Dmatix> Alexander nods briefly at Gwen.
- <Soulless> "Yes. I am very well."
- <weitooGM> In front of the plane stands a small, somewhat nervous looking man.
- <Dmatix> "She was always a bit odd, that one."
- <Sax> Tyler slings the shotgun, and loads his Colt.
- <Dmatix> "Though she does seem more off than usual."
- <weitooGM> He's very scrawny, and looks very young as well.
- <Soulless> "I apologize for my behavior."
- <weitooGM> He waves at you as your cars arrive at the airport.
- <Talonair> Rebecca sizes him up
- <Soulless> She mimicks the mans wave.
- <Daedalus> Colonel raises an eyebrow, "Don't apologize."
- <weitooGM> He barely looks 20, Rebecca. His sandy hair is a mop on his head, and he wears a badly fitting jacket.
- <Sax> Tyler's also sizing him.
- <Talonair> ~Doesn't look like much~
- <Daedalus> Colonel disembarks from the truck and heads to the plane.
- <weitooGM> "Hello, friends. My name is Gennady."
- <weitooGM> He speaks in a very thick Russian accent.
- <Dmatix> Alexander is barely paying attention at this point. "когда... both while and when? This doesn't make any sense."
- <GreenWolf> ~Christ, why are all of our pilots so young?~
- <Soulless> "Yes, I sill not apologize. I rescind my apology."
- <Soulless> Gwen dats rood
- <Dmatix> Alexander hears the Russian accent and perks up.
- <Soulless> *I will
- <Daedalus> "Nice to meet you, Ruskie." Colonel pats him on the shoulder, "What's our ETA?"
- <Talonair> Rebecca raises an eyebrow
- <Soulless> She watches Grennady.
- <weitooGM> He looks apologetic, colonel. "I do not know, sir. We have to fly a special route."
- <Dmatix> "A native speaker! Perfect. I will be practicing on for this flight, young man."
- <weitooGM> "A lot of redirects and things."
- <weitooGM> "I cannot say in specific."
- <weitooGM> "I am also your guide after we get there."
- <Dmatix> "I need to get caught up on that infernal language of yours, and you shall be assisting me."
- <Talonair> "Throwing anyone tailing us off our tail then?"
- <weitooGM> "I was born in small Siberian village, near testing grounds."
- <weitooGM> "Yes, miss."
- <weitooGM> "I speak Russian well, English not too good though."
- <Dmatix> "Consider yourself commandeered."
- <weitooGM> He rubs his hands, and looks apologetic again.
- <Dmatix> "Russian is what I need, young man! Precisely that!"
- <weitooGM> "I will be happy to help good new American friend with Russian, but I not good teacher."
- <Daedalus> "Cherry. Just cherry. Let's get a move on. We were told this mission was time sensitive and all."
- <weitooGM> "I will try my best, though."
- <Daedalus> Colonel boards.
- <weitooGM> "Yes, it is."
- <weitooGM> He checks his watch nervously.
- <Dmatix> "Good lad, we shall get along just fine, you and I."

- * ChanServ gives channel operator status to ProcyonLotor
- <Talonair> She nods, grinning. "Oh yea, this is what I'm used to"
- <Sax> Tyler boards.
- <Sax> And when he sits, he immediately bows his head, and begins praying.
- <weitooGM> He gets into the cockpit, separating him from the rest of you.
- <Dmatix> Alexander boards and reopens his book.
- <Talonair> Rebecca climbs in and checks her bolo knife
- <GreenWolf> Charles get on the plane and looks out the window nervously.
- <Dmatix> "A Russian teacher, tremendous good luck."
- <Daedalus> Colonel takes a swig of whiskey from his flask. He offers it to everyone else.
- <weitooGM> You hear a crackle over the speakers.
- <GreenWolf> "I hate planes."
- * ProcyonPing has quit (Ping timeout: 185 seconds)
- <Talonair> Rebecca takes a swig
- <Dmatix> Alexander accepts. "Ah, now you're speaking my language, Sir."
- <Sax> Tyler refuses said swig, before returning to prayer.
- <Talonair> "Thanks"
- <weitooGM> <<Yes, hello, this is your captain Gennady speaking. We are now boarding flight to Siberia village, unfortunately, no in flight refreshments. Many apologies.>>
- <Dmatix> "Hah! I get it!"
- <weitooGM> <<Please to buckle yourselves in, friends. We are taking off shortly.>>
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> The plane begins to move, and approaches the runway.
- <Talonair> "Aww damn, could have sworn I had first class tickets."
- <Daedalus> "C'mon then, Doc. You heard the man. No in-flight service." Colonel shakes the flask a bit in front of Tyler as he buckles in, "It's good luck."
- <Dmatix> "друг... Gennedy is друг..."
- <Sax> Tyler's head-deep in prayer, Colonel.
- <weitooGM> Soon, the plane takes off, pressing you back into your seats. The small prop-driven plane begins to climb into the sky, rattling slightly
- <Soulless> Gwen buckles in and watches people, fidgeting with anything she can get her handson and rocking steadily back and forth.
- <Dmatix> "I do hope I'm saying friend right and not insulting the poor man."
- <Soulless> Gwen does in fact take a swig of wiskey!
- <Soulless> Hrr hrr.
- <weitooGM> Alex, you can join him in the cockpit if you want to talk to him.
- <GreenWolf> "Go ahead."
- <Dmatix> Alexander goes to the cockpit. Is there a co-pilot seat?
- <weitooGM> The plane is soon at a cruising altitude, and is flying along steadily.
- <weitooGM> Yes, there is Alex.
- <Talonair> Rebecca lights a cigarette, offering the box around
- <Daedalus> "Right." Colonel takes the thing back and recaps it. He accepts a cigarette.
- <weitooGM> Gennady gives you a jaunty wave as you sit down, Alex.
- <Dmatix> Alexander takes a sit, opens his book, and begins to harasses poor Gennedy with endless linguistic questions.
- <weitooGM> "Hello, sir, do you need Gennady help?"
- <Dmatix> *seat
- <Daedalus> The rest of the flight he continually checks his equipment and runs possible senarios through his head.
- <weitooGM> Gennady does his best.
- <Talonair> "Don't think I caught your name." She's looking at Colonel
- <weitooGM> He seems very apologetic, and he's not the best Russian teacher.
- <Daedalus> "Colonel Bennett. Just Colonel's fine." He offers a hand to Rebecca.
- <Dmatix> "...and if you take that word, it can mean both to go and to come, right?"
- * Prior (uid70991@synIRC-83852682.highgate.irccloud.com) has joined #homeimprovement
- <weitooGM> His English isn't very good, but you do feel like you're picking up a word or too."
- <weitooGM> *two
- <Talonair> She takes it and shakes, her grip is nearly crushingly tight
- <weitooGM> "Uh, yes, friend. Can do."
- * ProcyonLotor has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
- <weitooGM> ~~Time warp~~
- <Daedalus> Colonel's is firm and steady.
- <Dmatix> "Excellent. You are of tremendous value, young man."
- <Talonair> "Nice to meet you"
- <Daedalus> "... and that's how Hitler lost his left nut."
- <Daedalus> Colonel says, finishing his story.
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> Many hours later, you are in Russian airspace, approaching the target destination, or so Gennady says.
- <Talonair> Rebecca's belly-laughing
- <weitooGM> Suddenly, a voice crackles over the radio.
- <GreenWolf> Charles has fallen asleep.
- <Soulless> Gwen has listened quietly, consistently acting in her agitated, excited manner.
- <weitooGM> It's someone speaking in gruff Russian.
- <Sax> "... and, Lord, if today is my day, at least grant me the grace to offer my life to save someone else's."
- <Sax> "Amen."
- <weitooGM> Alex, you think he's maybe saying something about....trespassing?
- <Sax> Tyler lifts his head up.
- <weitooGM> You can't catch him that well.
- <Dmatix> Alexander feels like he has a slightly better perception of the language.
- <Daedalus> "Something wrong?"
- * ProcyonLotor (Procyon@Lotor.Means.Raccoon) has joined #homeimprovement
- * ChanServ gives channel operator status to ProcyonLotor
- <weitooGM> Gennady replies in curt tones.
- <Dmatix> "Er. Gennedy, is that man saying what I think he's saying?"
- <weitooGM> The radio crackles back, repeating the same line again, this time more roughly.
- <Talonair> "What's the máo zi saying?"
- <weitooGM> "Do not worry, friend, Gennady can handle."
- <Dmatix> "Oh dear. I think he's saying we're in restricted airspace."
- <weitooGM> Gennady continues to speak to the voice on the radio, remaining calm.
- <weitooGM> Alex, you can see that despite his words, Gennady is sweating slightly.
- <weitooGM> He mops at his sandy hair.
- <weitooGM> The exchange continues back and forth for a moment.
- <Sax> Tyler's normally bright eyes grow dim.
- <Dmatix> "Calm down, man, don't worry. You can handle this, right?"
- <weitooGM> Then, the voice on the radio cuts out.
- <Sax> And his clasped hands release.
- <Dmatix> "You're a great teacher."
- <Daedalus> Colonel frowns, "Everyone buckle in."
- <Sax> "It is time."
- <GreenWolf> Charles awakens with a start.
- <weitooGM> Suddenly, you are all hit with a massive rocking in the plane.
- <Dmatix> "Buggering hell. I wash hop-"
- <weitooGM> THe left wing dips suddenly
- <weitooGM> It throws you to the side harshly.
- <GreenWolf> "Are we-- oh god I hate flying."
- <weitooGM> Gennady frantically works at the controls to keep the plane flying.
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> Roll perception if your character is at a window.
- <Daedalus> Luckily, Colonel took his own advice and buckled himself in.
- <Talonair> 4df+3 I SEE
- <Soulless> 4df+5 percep?
- <Glacon> Talonair: I SEE: 4 (4df+3=-, +, 0, +)
- <Glacon> Soulless: percep?: 7 (4df+5=+, +, +, -)
- <Sax> 4df+5 Tyler looks!
- <Glacon> Sax: Tyler looks!: 2 (4df+5=-, -, 0, -)
- <weitooGM> Up to your own discretion
- <Dmatix> Alexander is at the co-pilot's seat.
- <Dmatix> 4df+6
- <GreenWolf> 4df+4 widnow seat for the win
- <Glacon> Dmatix: 7 (4df+6=0, +, -, +)

- <Daedalus> 4df+3 Windows 95
- <Glacon> Daedalus: Windows 95: 3 (4df+3=-, -, +, +)
- <weitooGM> Gwen and Charles, you two can catch the glimpse of planes in the crowds
- <weitooGM> Charles, you might recognize them as fighter planes.
- <Soulless> "...planes?"
- <weitooGM> Suddenly, the plane is rocked with a shuddering hit again.
- <weitooGM> A piece of shrapnel flies out, hitting you in the eye, Alex
- <weitooGM> Roll pdef
- <Talonair> "Planes? tā māde!"
- <Dmatix> 4d2+2
- <Glacon> Dmatix: 7 (4d2+2=2, 1, 1, 1)
- <weitooGM> (Oh wait)
- <weitooGM> (Sorry, I thought Dmatix critfailed)
- <weitooGM> ALex, you were the one who saw the plane
- <weitooGM> Charles roll pdef
- <GreenWolf> oh boy
- <Dmatix> (phew)
- <GreenWolf> 4df+4 so glad I invested xp in this
- <Glacon> GreenWolf: so glad I invested xp in this: 1 (4df+4=0, -, -, -)
- <weitooGM> THe shrapnel digs into your eye, blinding you completely in the left eye
- <weitooGM> You take half a phealth in damage
- <Dmatix> Alexander looks in horror.
- <weitooGM> Gennady's hands are flying at the controls
- <GreenWolf> "Gah!" Charles lets out a scream of pain.
- <Talonair> "HOLY SHIT"
- <Sax> Tyler's firmly strapped it.
- <Sax> in*
- <Dmatix> Alexander tries reaching for the radio.
- <Daedalus> "SHIT! SHIT! GET US OUT OF HERE!"
- <weitooGM> He is sweating a lot more now, and he reaches for the microphone.
- <Sax> ~This is worse than the assault boats~
- <Dmatix> "Maybe we can still reason with them, we need to try or we're dead men!"
- <Sax> Tyler looks for parachutes.
- <weitooGM> <<Friends, buckle yourselves in, as we are needing evasive maneuvers.>>
- <Talonair> Rebecca's gripping her seat
- <Daedalus> "THEY'RE SHOOTING AT US! WE'RE A LITTLE PAST FRIENDLINESS!"
- <Soulless> She is already buckled in. She rocks back and forth.
- * ProcyonPing (Procyon@Lotor.Means.Raccoon) has joined #homeimprovement
- * ChanServ gives channel operator status to ProcyonPing
- <weitooGM> He reaches for a control, and then the plane's nose suddenly drops, plunging
- <weitooGM> Then, it comes back up slightly and yaws to the left
- <Dmatix> "If it's either dying talking or just dying, I'd like to go doing what I do best!"
- <weitooGM> Shots continue to riddle the sky, little light bursts that seem to be, for the most part, missing your plane.
- <GreenWolf> Charles sits in his seat, a hand clapped to his eye, grimacing in pain.
- <weitooGM> Then, your plane shudders once more.
- <Sax> Are there parachutes nearby?
- <Dmatix> "Is someone taking care of that man?"
- <weitooGM> No, Tyler.
- <Talonair> Rebecca's knuckles are white, jaw clenched
- <GreenWolf> "Fuck fuck fuck. I always knew it would be a plane that killed me."
- <Sax> ~Jesus, is every higher-up in this place cocktarded?!~
- <Dmatix> "You, nurse, do something!"
- <Daedalus> Colonel grits his teeth and holds on for dear life.
- <Sax> ~Not even a fuckin' parachute!~
- <weitooGM> "Ah, Сука"
- <weitooGM> Gennady softly curses.
- <weitooGM> Alex, if you look at him, you see a rapidly spreading pool of red on his jacket front.
- <Talonair> "No, don't curse. Pilots shouldn't curse, that means something's gone wrong."
- <weitooGM> He holds a hand to his jacket, breathing heavily.
- <Dmatix> "Oh, buggering hell."
- <Dmatix> "Forget the eye, nurse, get in here!"
- <weitooGM> The plane starts to drop again

- <Dmatix> "Pilot is hit, bad!"
- <weitooGM> Gennady struggles weakly at the controls.
- <Dmatix> Alexander tries to stop the bleeding with his handkerchief.
- <weitooGM> If anyone cared to look out the window, they'd see a trail of smoke from the tail of the plane.
- <Talonair> ".... This is hùnzhàng."
- <weitooGM> "Thanks, friend."
- <Dmatix> "Stay with me, boy! We're not done with our lessons yet!"
- <Sax> "Coming!"
- <weitooGM> He says this weakly, offering a small smile.
- <Daedalus> Colonel jumps forward to the cockpit, going for the controls.
- <Dmatix> Alexander yells back. "Where are the damn medics?"
- <Sax> Tyler unbuckles, and begins inching his way to the cockpit!
- <weitooGM> The plane seems to be falling in a somewhat more manageable way.
- <Soulless> Gwen follows Tyler.
- <weitooGM> Colonel, the plane is too unstable for you to move quickly
- <weitooGM> It's all you can do to keep your feet.
- <Soulless> She looks, watches the speed of the blood spreading through his shirt.
- <GreenWolf> Charles mutters a curse in French. It sounds blasphemous.
- <Daedalus> He continues to try.
- <Dmatix> "You're going to be fine, man. Just keep your cool, eh?"
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> "We are close to site, will try to bring us down nicely."
- <Talonair> Rebecca's clinging to her seat, swearing violently
- <Dmatix> "Well get you patched up real nice..."
- <Soulless> She looks to Tyler. "..."
- <Sax> Tyler's got his gear.
- <Sax> "Raverat, stay back with the others."
- <weitooGM> Roll medical to stop the bleeding.
- <Soulless> "Yes."
- <Dmatix> "Don't look at them, Gennedy, look at me."
- <weitooGM> And try to save your pilot's life.
- <Daedalus> Colonel eventualyl gives in and straps himself back into a seat.
- <Soulless> She heads on back on Tyler's word.
- <Dmatix> "Pay attention to my voice."
- <weitooGM> "Yes, am paying attention, friend."
- <Soulless> "Please call me if you need me."
- <weitooGM> "Do not even know your name, yet."
- <Soulless> "I have extras if you run out of anything."
- <weitooGM> Gennady looks apologetic again.
- <Dmatix> "Breath, focus on me. Look only at me."
- <Sax> 4df+10 (Med + Stabilizer) Tyler immediately begins emergency aid to stop shock
- <Glacon> Sax: (Med + Stabilizer) Tyler immediately begins emergency aid to stop shock: 11 (4df+10=0, +, 0, 0)
- <weitooGM> Gennady is still trying to keep the plane falling in a manageable way.
- <weitooGM> Tyler, it's looking rough.
- <Dmatix> "Well, also at the plane, but mostly at me."
- <weitooGM> Human bodies really weren't meant to take anti-aircraft rounds from planes and survive.
- <Daedalus> "FOCUS ON FUCKING FLYING!"
- <Sax> He's seen rougher.
- <Dmatix> "Tell me about your family, boy."
- <weitooGM> You wonder how he's even conscious.
- <weitooGM> You do manage to stop some of the bleeding.
- <Sax> He patches up whatever he can.
- <weitooGM> Gennady shakes his head. "No family, fled Russia to America."
- <Dmatix> "Keep yourself awake. Do you have brothers or sisters?"
- <Sax> ~He's not going to make it~
- <Daedalus> "SHUT UP ANDLETHIMFLYTHEFUCKINGPLANE"
- <weitooGM> He nods, weakly. "Sister."
- <Dmatix> "And how old is your sister, my boy?"
- <weitooGM> He reaches for the microphone again.
- <Sax> To Alex: "Get him focused on flying, or we're all going to join him in perdition."
- <weitooGM> <<Please buckle yourselves in and prepare for rough landing.>>
- <Sax> Tyler's trying his best to stabilize him.
- <weitooGM> He waves you off, Tyler.
- <Talonair> ~Fuckfuckfuck~
- <weitooGM> "Get buckled in."
- <Dmatix> "This is me doing just that. Best way to get people to focus is to get them to talk about things they care about."
- <Dmatix> "You have to make him want to live."
- <Sax> Tyler looks to Alex.
- <weitooGM> Suddenly, you all feel a massive crash, and suddenly you see the ground around you.
- <Dmatix> "Gah!"
- <weitooGM> You plow into the ground, dragging forward
- <GreenWolf> "FUCK."
- <weitooGM> Tyler, roll pdef
- <Sax> Tyler's most presumably thrown back.,
- <Daedalus> Colonel hangs on for dear life.
- <Sax> 4df+3 "THIS IS GOING TO SUCK-"
- <GreenWolf> This is followed by more cursing in French.
- <Glacon> Sax: "THIS IS GOING TO SUCK-": 3 (4df+3=0, -, 0, +)
- <Dmatix> Alexander is still wearing his seat-belt at the co-pilot's seat.
- <Talonair> Rebecca's hands are beginning to cramp
- <weitooGM> Tyler, you're thrown backward, smacking into a chair
- <weitooGM> You're bruised for half a health
- <weitooGM> Finally, the plane comes to a crashing halt.
- <Sax> "Guhhhh~"
- <Dmatix> "Buggering hell!"
- <weitooGM> Gennady's eyes look dazed.
- <Sax> He staggers up.
- <Sax> Tyler makes his way back to the cockpit to check up on Alex and Gennady.
- <Dmatix> Alexander returns his attention to Gennady.
- <Daedalus> Colonel unbuckles himself after everything's calmed down and grabs his gear, "Sound off!"
- <weitooGM> Gennady is breathing very shallowly.
- <Dmatix> "I'm fine! Gennady's looking very bad!"
- <weitooGM> He coughs up blood.
- <Sax> "My ass hurts, but I'm mobile!"
- <Talonair> "I'm still fine." She gets up, grabbing her stuff
- <Dmatix> "Oh dear, oh no..."
- <GreenWolf> "Left eye is fucked, doing okay otherwise."
- <weitooGM> "увидимся, сестра"
- <weitooGM> Then, Gennady goes limp.
- <Dmatix> "Hah! I understood that! See, you're a good teacher-"
- <Sax> Tyler reaches the cockpit.
- <Sax> "Shit."
- <weitooGM> He's dead, Tyler.
- <Sax> He yells back. "Pilot's gone."
- <Soulless> "..."
- <Dmatix> "Dammit. DAMMIT."
- <Sax> To Alex: "Help me get him unstrapped."
- <Daedalus> "Any chance?"
- <Daedalus> Colonel nods to the pilot.
- <Soulless> "He was losing too much blood."
- <Dmatix> Alexander helps Tyler, mopping tears from his eyes.
- <Soulless> "There was no chance save for a miracle among miracles."
- <Talonair> "bùyàoliǎn de dōngxi!" She shouts at the sky
- <Sax> "You don't get miracles when you've been hit by AA-fire."
- <Dmatix> "buggering hell. Buggering hell. Couldn't have been more than twenty."
- <weitooGM> Gennady had the good fortune to bring you down approximately where you should be.
- <Daedalus> "Right. Right. Check if he had anything on him. He was our guide."
- <Dmatix> Alexander does so.
- <Sax> Tyler's also checking.
- <Daedalus> "We can mourn him later."
- <weitooGM> If you check his jacket, he has a set of instructions.
- <Dmatix> What does he find?
- <Talonair> Rebecca peers out the windows
- <weitooGM> Also, a faded picture of a young girl.
- <weitooGM> She looks happy.
- <Dmatix> "Hrm. I think I get understand this. Oh-."
- <Dmatix> "His sister."
- <Daedalus> Colonel goes to a door and attempts to pry it open.
- <weitooGM> The instructions are in Russian, but you can roughly make them out, Alex
- <Dmatix> Alexander pockets both the map and the picture.
- <weitooGM> Gennady was only your pilot there, he wasn't your pilot out.
- <Soulless> "He brought us were we should be."
- <Sax> Tyler closes the pilot's eyes, and covers his body.
- <Soulless> "We should not take advantage of his death, and we should use it best we can to do as he would have wanted."
- <weitooGM> Though without a guide, getting around might be more difficult.
- <Sax> "Rest."
- <weitooGM> He also has a compass.
- <GreenWolf> Charles gets out of his seat and makes his way up to the front of the plane. He still has a hand clapped over his eye.
- <Dmatix> Alexander joins Tyler, saying a silent prayer.
- <Soulless> Gwen heads to Charles.
- <Soulless> "Excuse me."
- <Soulless> "Please let me see that."
- <Dmatix> "You should probably help the wounded, Tyler. I'll see to him."
- <Talonair> Rebecca goes to help Colonel
- <Sax> "Don't let it bother you," Tyler notes, pointing out Alex's tears.
- <GreenWolf> "we don't have time. We need to make ourselves scarce before the Ruskies send someone to investigate."
- <Sax> "Otherwise, the souls of the dead and damned will kill you a thousand times over."
- <weitooGM> If you check your files, you can see that your next set of instructions was to proceed to a nearby village to be outfitted with horses that will be able to take you closer to the testing grounds.
- <Dmatix> Alexander sniffles, then his face hardens.
- <Dmatix> "I've seen enough dead, my boy. Don't worry about me. See to the wounded."
- <Soulless> "I understand. When we have downtime, please let me know. It is inappropriate to leave a trail of blood to follow."
- <GreenWolf> "If we can make it to the village, we can go to ground there. I'll be fine until then."
- <Dmatix> Alexander peers at the instructions. He goes to the Colonel.
- <Dmatix> Sir, you better have a look at these.
- <Dmatix> ""
- <Talonair> "I can act as a scout, scope out the area."
- <Daedalus> Colonel (presumably) gets a door open and steps out.
- <Soulless> "Yes."
- <Dmatix> "Hold a sec, Rebecca. I have his instructions here, you should hear this."
- <weitooGM> Colonel, the air is crisp, deep in the mood of the Siberian summer.
- <Sax> Tyler heads to Charles.
- <Daedalus> "You do that..." He looks to Alex, "... Shame about the kid."
- <Sax> "Let's look."
- <Sax> "I can administer aid on the move."
- <Dmatix> "Aye. Shame."
- <Soulless> "That is impressive."
- <GreenWolf> Charles pulls his hand back. His eye is pretty fucked.
- <Daedalus> "Everyone got their shit?"
- <Talonair> "I've got my gear."
- <weitooGM> Looking around, you can see that you are in an area of rolling hills, where the grass clinging stubbornly to the ground is of the scrubby and tough kind that can survive the Siberian winter.
- <Sax> 4df+10 Is there anything he can salvage? (Med + Stabilizer)
- <Glacon> Sax: Is there anything he can salvage? (Med + Stabilizer): 9 (4df+10=0, 0, -, 0)
- <Soulless> "Where do we go first?"
- <weitooGM> Nothing to salvage, Tyler.
- <Dmatix> "See, far as I can tell, the instructions say we should head west from here, then turn at that large rock."
- <Daedalus> "Right. Let's move out. Rebecca, you take point."
- <Sax> Tyler secures a dressing to his destroyed eye.
- <Talonair> She nods, drawing her revolver and moving out
- <Dmatix> "We need to decide who takes the compass."
- <Dmatix> "Rebecca probably needs it most."
- <Dmatix> "Remember, west, then turn at the large rock."
- <weitooGM> Everyone ready to head to the village?
- <Daedalus> "Everyone else, keep quiet and maintain a three foot distance from the guy in front of you. Let's roll."
- <GreenWolf> Charles nods to Tyler. "Thanks."
- <Soulless> Gwen follows along!
- <Dmatix> Alexander is prepared he has his gear and Gennady's things with him.
- <Sax> "Anytime."
- <GreenWolf> Charles is ready to go.
- <Daedalus> Colonel follows after Rebecca.
- <Sax> "I'll take up rear."
- <Talonair> Rebecca's ranging ahead
- <Dmatix> He puts the picture near his pocket watch, his prized posession.
- <Sax> Tyler unslings his shotgun, and is at the rear of the file.
- <Dmatix> Alexander stays near the middle, eyes on the instructions.
- <Dmatix> He occasionally compares them to his dictionary.
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> The village is small and scrubby, looking like something out of a fairy tale.
- <Dmatix> "Hrm. This should be the right place, if I'm reading this correctly."
- <weitooGM> But the people here have an iron to their spines that is crucial to surviving here in the wastes of the Soviet Union.
- <weitooGM> Your horses are ready. No questions are asked.
- <Soulless> Oh god big animal aa
- <weitooGM> The man with the horses regards you with a steady eye, but it seems that everything is paid for.
- <weitooGM> The horses are a shaggy, mountainous breed.
- <Soulless> Gwen is thoroughly intimidated by her horse.
- <weitooGM> They're hardy and ready for service.
- <Daedalus> Colonel thanks the people who give them the horses in Russian.
- <Dmatix> Alexander briefly thanks him.
- <weitooGM> Not the flashiest or the fastest, but the horses are tough as nails.
- <Talonair> Rebecca sizes up her horse
- <Sax> "... guys."
- <Dmatix> "Good animals, these."
- <Sax> "I have never ridden a horse."
- <Sax> :/
- <Daedalus> Colonel mounts, "Double up, then."
- <Sax> "Roger that."
- <Soulless> "..."
- <Dmatix> "It's good. We can use the spare for some gear, lighten the load from the others."
- <weitooGM> The man accepts your thanks, colonel, but he seems to be looking around.
- <weitooGM> He says something in russian.
- <Talonair> "I think I know the basics. Pull on reigns to steer, kick in the ribs for speed?"
- <Soulless> "...May I double up with someone? They are too scary to ride."
- <weitooGM> {{Where is the other?}}
- <weitooGM> {{There were supposed to be 7.}}
- <Dmatix> "You can ride with me, dear. I have some experience with- what was that?"
- <GreenWolf> "I can take a second rider." Charles volunteers.
- <Daedalus> Colonel looks a bit uncomfortable, then looks to Alex.
- <weitooGM> {{Where is the boy?}}
- <Dmatix> Alexander attempts to explain. {Accident. Boy will not come}}
- <weitooGM> The man looks pained. In Siberia, accidents are unforgiving.
- <weitooGM> This place does not leave many who come back from accidents.
- <weitooGM> {{I will tell his mother.}}
- <Dmatix> Alexander remembers something.
- <Dmatix> He takes out the picture.
- <weitooGM> He turns from you, and begins walking back to the village.
- <Dmatix> {{Give her this. Tell her he was brave to the last.}}
- <weitooGM> The man looks surprised, but is immediately grateful when you hand him the picture.
- <weitooGM> He bows, thanking you, and then leaves.
- <Dmatix> {{Good boy. Good teacher.}}
- <Talonair> Rebecca hauls herself into the saddle
- <Dmatix> Alexander sighs and remounts.
- <Daedalus> Colonel looks for a cloak or a cloth he can wrap around himself, to look less conspicuous in his Brisith Army Uniform.
- <weitooGM> Colonel, there's a nice sackcloth hanging from the horse.
- <weitooGM> And by nice, I mean that it looks itchy and uncomfortable.
- <Soulless> Gwen snuggles and clings to Charles on the ride.
- <Soulless> She fucking scared.
- <Soulless> 2spooky.
- <Dmatix> Alexander follows suit, though his clothes are less conspicuous.
- <weitooGM> The horses snort, getting restless from standing around.
- <GreenWolf> "It's gonna be okay. Horses are smart. Much safer than a car."
- <Sax> Tyler also looks for something to cover himself.
- <Dmatix> "We should probably move."
- <weitooGM> Roll perc, everyone
- <Daedalus> Colonel wraps it around himself, then pulls off his beret and tucks it into his pack.
- <Soulless> She continues being nervous and scared regardless.

- <GreenWolf> (So zero then)
- <weitooGM> Talonair?
- <weitooGM> Well, Gwen and Alex, you can faintly hear the sound of a large boom in the distance.
- <weitooGM> Alex, if you look carefully, you see something waaaaaaaay off in the distance that looks like an explosion.
- <weitooGM> A very, very big one.
- <Dmatix> "Oh dear. I think we might be in trouble."
- <Dmatix> "Explosion over yonder, people. Keep your eyes open."
- <Daedalus> "We don't have time to waste. Let's go."
- * Talonair has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
- <Daedalus> Colonel rides his horse out.
- <Dmatix> Alexander follows, looking troubled.
- <GreenWolf> "Roger that Colonel."
- <weitooGM> The explosion seems to be roughly in the general vicinity of the testing grounds
- <Sax> Tyler double-checks his gear.
- * Talonair (Mibbit@synIRC-9DC9B715.red-88-7-48.staticip.rima-tde.net) has joined #homeimprovement
- <GreenWolf> Charles follows behind Alexander.
- <weitooGM> Where the Russians were supposed to be dropping the thing to test it.
- <Dmatix> "Buggering hell. I think we might be too late."
- <GreenWolf> "Better ride fast then/"
- <GreenWolf> *.
- <Talonair> Rebecca nods, knocking her heels against the horse's ribs. "Ya!"
- <Dmatix> Alexander continues looking at the instructions while they ride.

- <weitooGM> Alex, the instrusctions tell you that you're supposed to move in, grab the thing after the explosion, and then get the hell out of there
- <weitooGM> Same instructions as those in your files
- <Soulless> "We keep going."
- <Dmatix> "Useless, but there it is."
- <Roosevelt> Colonel rides fast
- <weitooGM> The rolling hills gradually give way to a thick forest of evergreens
- <Talonair> Rebecca rides fast as well, though her knowledge of horse riding is limited to a few annecdotes and bad Westerns
- <weitooGM> The light is dimming as you ride, as the trees choke out what little light remains
- <Sax> Tyler's hanging on for dear life.
- <weitooGM> It's dim, but you can still see around.
- <Dmatix> Alexander looks about him, attempting to find any small details that might be relevant.
- <weitooGM> Alex, you don't think you see much.
- <weitooGM> You're not sure what's a real thing, and what's just the light flickering.
- <Soulless> Gwen clings as well,scared because aaa horses aaaa
- <weitooGM> The horses know their way, and they're surefooted.
- <Roosevelt> Colonel rides until he has a clear line of sight of the blast site.
- <weitooGM> Little chance of them failing.
- <weitooGM> Colonel, the blast site is still a while away.
- <weitooGM> The forest is thick, and soon, you're forced to a crawl.

- <Dmatix> "Look out, blade!"
- <weitooGM> "Fuck."
- <Roosevelt> "Colonel instinctively ducks."
- <Talonair> Rebecca pulls back on the reigns, ducking as well
- <weitooGM> Suddenly, the forest is alive.
- <Roosevelt> Sans the quotations
- <GreenWolf> Charles ducks as well.
- <Sax> Tyler follows suit, not wanting to get his hair (or head) chopped.
- <weitooGM> The forest suddenly opens up with men wearing camouflaged uniforms.
- <weitooGM> They appear around you, rifles pointed at you.
- <Roosevelt> "Fucking ambush."
- <Dmatix> Alexander lifts his hands slowly in the air.
- <weitooGM> A male voice yells out in Russian with a very thick American accent. {{Don't move.}}
- <Roosevelt> Colonel reluctantly raises his.
- <GreenWolf> Charles pulls back on the reigns, bringing his horse to a stop.
- <GreenWolf> He raises his hands
- <Dmatix> {{We friends, no need to}}
- <Talonair> "máo zi..." She raises her hands
- <Dmatix> "Hold on a second... what's with the accent?"
- <weitooGM> One of them pauses and looks at you, Colonel.
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> "Wait, are you fucking Americans?"
- <Soulless> "Yes."
- <weitooGM> The man who has been speaking steps forward.
- <Dmatix> "Czech, but close enough."
- <weitooGM> His M1 Carbine is still pointed at you.
- <Roosevelt> Colonel is british
- <GreenWolf> Charles is french
- <weitooGM> He looks to be somewhat young, with the ghost of grizzle on his face.
- <Dmatix> "I'd say we're a marry mulitnational bunch, gentlemen."
- <Roosevelt> "Only one of us is American, mate."
- <Soulless> Gwen is fidgeting with Charles's clothes.
- <Talonair> "... wǒ kào"
- <weitooGM> He speaks in a voic with something of a southern twang.
- <weitooGM> "Who the hell are you people?"
- <weitooGM> The soldiers do not drop their rifles.
- <Dmatix> "Is that a Texas accent though? Houston, maybe?"
- <Roosevelt> "Two, I guess. I don't count the South."
- <Roosevelt> "I'm United Nations."
- <weitooGM> He grins. "Sure, a regular UN diplomat huh?"
- <Dmatix> "Come now, no need for the guns, gentlemen. Clearly, we are on the same side here, right?"
- <weitooGM> "You just like to stroll through woods in heavily restricted areas and around the site of known anomalies?"
- <Sax> How many men? Tyler's counting off.
- <Roosevelt> "Anomalies."
- <weitooGM> Tyler, it looks like there are about 12 of them.
- <GreenWolf> ~Oh fuck.~
- <Roosevelt> "What're you talking about?"
- <GreenWolf> ~It's the GOC.~
- <weitooGM> He sizes you up, Colonel.
- <Dmatix> "Ah, lad. You really shouldn't be talking about that stuff so openly."
- <Talonair> ~Fuck my life~
- <weitooGM> "What if I don't wanna say?"
- <Soulless> "..."
- <Dmatix> "You just told us anomalies were afoot. You play your hand all too fast."
- <weitooGM> The man looks at you with a sideways look, as if you're stupid, Alex.
- <Sax> Tyler sits up, and relaxes.
- <Roosevelt> Can I roll intim?
- <Soulless> "..."
- <Roosevelt> "Relax, Alex."
- <weitooGM> "There's no other reason you're here, dumbass. No other point in being here."
- <weitooGM> You can try, Colonel
- <Dmatix> "This is what I do, boy. Let me handle this."
- <weitooGM> But this guy doesn't look like the type to get scared down.
- <Dmatix> Alex would like to roll persuasion.
- <Soulless> She whispers to Charles. "Not Foundation. GOC? 8th?"
- <Roosevelt> "Boy? Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"
- <weitooGM> Alex, go ahead, you can roll too
- <GreenWolf> "Maybe. I'm putting my money on GOC for now."
- <weitooGM> But
- <Soulless> "Okay."
- <weitooGM> Throw in a convincing line of intimidation/persuasion
- <Sax> Tyler's clearly a medic - his weapons are hidden away.
- <weitooGM> With your roll

- <Dmatix> "We know who you are, my lad. You probably know who we are."
- <Roosevelt> Colonel lowers his arms.
- <weitooGM> "You think pulling rank is gonna work on me, dumbass?"
- <weitooGM> "We don't work for you."
- <weitooGM> He looks at you, Alex.
- <weitooGM> "Yeah?"
- <Dmatix> "Enough nonsense, my boy. Let's talk like reasonable human beings."
- <weitooGM> "I can take a bet."
- <Soulless> "..."
- <weitooGM> "From how shittily you idiots traipsed into here, I'd bet you're Foundation dumbasses."
- <Dmatix> "I can assume you are here for one reason and one reason only, and that is getting this anomaly back."
- <Roosevelt> "Close, GOC dumbasses."
- <weitooGM> "Nobody else is this sloppy."
- <Dmatix> "Namecalling aside, our goals are the same. We both want the thing out of Russian hands."
- <Talonair> ~Well...~
- <weitooGM> The man looks at you as if you're seriously stupid, Colonel.
- <Soulless> "...If they are 8th, maybe I can..."
- <Roosevelt> "UIU is kinda sloppy."
- <weitooGM> "Who the hell said we're GOC?"
- <weitooGM> He snorts again.
- <Roosevelt> "So are the 5thists."
- <Dmatix> "Back in the states, in the very least."
- <Roosevelt> "Then you MC&D, which are pretty well funded."
- <weitooGM> "UIU? Sloppy? Well I'm downright offended."
- <Soulless> "8th Day?" She speaks louder a bit.
- <Dmatix> "Would you people stop interrupting me! I'm trying to have a conversation here."
- <weitooGM> "You think the premier anomalous organization of the United States of America is sloppy?"
- <Roosevelt> "YOu're not getting us anywhere, mate."
- <Roosevelt> "And there it is."
- <Soulless> "Sorry..." She goes back to being quiet.
- <Roosevelt> "Yeah, I do."
- <Talonair> ~Oh, they're UIU~
- <Dmatix> "I don't see you doing any better."

- <weitooGM> "Alright limey. Then stop calling us when you've got problems."
- <Roosevelt> "I'm goingt to take a wild stab in the dark and guess you're UIU."

- <Dmatix> "Just let me handle this, will you. This is what I do for a living."
- <Roosevelt> "That was one time."
