[8:20pm] Roget: <<All available poolboys, please report to command>>
[8:20pm] TheRaven: Taggart heads in from patrol, and heads for the command prefab
[8:21pm] Positronium: Everett locks his laptop and leaves his prefab for command.
[8:21pm] Uncandescent: "Huh. Guess that's me."
[8:21pm] NachtRuine: Zach looks to the PA, then to DT. "Well, that's a conversation-ender. We'll have to talk more later." Zach leaves his journal as he heads into Command.
[8:22pm] Roget: When everyone arrives in command, they see a fat guy with huge glasses and a beard standing outside
[8:22pm] Alivi: Eriko looks up and gets up following people to command.
[8:22pm] Uncandescent: "S'not like we're going to different places." DT says, getting to his feet and following Zach.
[8:22pm] TheRaven: "I hope this isn't about the underground thing."
[8:23pm] NachtRuine: "True enough."
[8:23pm] Uncandescent: "Think of it as a roadblock, most things work out better that way."
[8:24pm] Uncandescent: DT stands with the others and waits for the man to say stuff.
[8:25pm] Roget: "So... this everyone?"
[8:25pm] Snowshoe is now known as Snoway.
[8:25pm] TheRaven: "Guess so."
[8:26pm] Roget: "Alright... so, we got this thing over in the woods, yeh? Like... near the bug. And you gotta go squish it or whatever."
[8:27pm] PresidentEvil joined the chat room.
[8:27pm] Positronium: "What is it?"
[8:27pm] TheRaven: "Could you be a little more specific?"
[8:27pm] Uncandescent: "Is this like, a literal bug, or..."
[8:27pm] Roget: "I unno. Some guys we sent came back crispy, so it's like... fire, or something."
[8:27pm] Roget: He shrugs, and wipes his nose.
[8:28pm] Uncandescent: "You seem alarmingly dispassionate about this."
[8:28pm] TheRaven: "Great. Anyone seen Charisse around lately?"
[8:28pm] Roget: "Whatever."
[8:29pm] Alivi: "This seems exciting..."
[8:29pm] Roget: "Also, this note says that there are like... trails. That you can follow."
[8:30pm] PresidentEvil: "What's going on?" Greg asks, walking into the rec room.
[8:30pm] PresidentEvil: Or wherever everyone is.
[8:30pm] Roget: Outside command
[8:30pm] Uncandescent: "Mmmm." DT adjusts his coat around himself. He speculates how he and everyone else is outside Command
[8:31pm] Uncandescent: "Do we get jeeps, or snowmobiles, or what."
[8:31pm] TheRaven: "I doubt it."
[8:31pm] Roget: "You get shoes. You should like them sneaks, too. Back in my day, we had bare soles on snow. Not fun."
[8:32pm] Uncandescent: "I appreciate antiquity as much as the next guy, but snow is bullshit to walk through." He turns to Greg. "Bug thing, I guess. We're the Orkin guys."
[8:33pm] PresidentEvil: "Wonderful."
[8:33pm] Roget: "Hey, I didn't say it was a bug... I think. Did I? I don't remember."
[8:33pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs, "It's alte too..."
[8:33pm] Alivi: late*
[8:33pm] Positronium: "The bug's already dead.  He said it was near it."
[8:33pm] Uncandescent: "I heard something distinctly bug like".
[8:34pm] TheRaven: "Alright, let's get going."
[8:34pm] Uncandescent: "What, we just left it there?"
[8:34pm] Positronium: "Yes."
[8:34pm] Uncandescent: "Huh."
[8:34pm] PresidentEvil: "Was this the giant caterpillar that tried to bodyslam me?"
[8:34pm] Roget: "We'd be mad and probably send someone to yell at you."
[8:34pm] Roget: He turns to Greg.
[8:34pm] Uncandescent: "Now that sounds like a fun story."
[8:34pm] Roget: "I'unno."
[8:35pm] PresidentEvil: "It kinda isn't. A giant caterpillar tried to attack me and some others."
[8:35pm] PresidentEvil: "So we shot it a lot."
[8:35pm] PresidentEvil: "And then, since a world-spanning conspiracy can't afford a flatbed, we just threw a tarp over the corpse and called it a night."
[8:36pm] NachtRuine: "Same ol', same ol'."
[8:36pm] Uncandescent: "Huh. The financial reach of the almighty Foundation continues to astound."
[8:37pm] PresidentEvil: "Truly."
[8:37pm] Roget: "So... yeah. Can you guys go shoot it?"
[8:37pm] Uncandescent: "Anyway, we should proabably get after this. It's cold out here."
[8:37pm] Alivi: "Its only going to get darker too…"
[8:37pm] Positronium: "You should have seen it a month abo."
[8:37pm] PresidentEvil: "Alright, lead the way guys..."
[8:37pm] Positronium: (ago)
[8:38pm] Uncandescent: "You're the one with a gun."
[8:38pm] TheRaven: Taggart starts walking.
[8:38pm] Positronium: As does Everett.
[8:38pm] PresidentEvil: Greg follows. "Yeah, but I don't know where we're going..."
[8:38pm] Alivi: Eriko follows along not knowing what to do.
[8:39pm] Uncandescent: DT takes up the rear. "Big bug thing, right? How hard could it be to see?"
[8:40pm] TheRaven: "Command guy said there were tracks. It shoots fire or something, we could probably just go get Charisse and it'll come right to us."
[8:40pm] PresidentEvil: Greg snerks at this.
[8:41pm] Uncandescent: "I'm sure she'll be so sad she missed this."
[8:41pm] NachtRuine: Zach attempts to stifle a snicker, and only slightly succeeds.
[8:41pm] Alivi: "You shouldn't be too mean..."
[8:41pm] Roget: They get to the frozen bug, which is still big, frozen, and bullet-ridden. Near it, there is a slab of melted snow, about 3 meters across and a foot deep, leading deeper into the woods.
[8:42pm] TheRaven: "Well, I think we know where it went."
[8:42pm] Uncandescent: DT sidles up to the bug with a great big grin. "Sweeeeet." He flicks the frozen carapace and leans over to look at the head.
[8:43pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at it, "Wow…"
[8:43pm] PresidentEvil: Greg frowns at the thing. "Still can't believe they just left this out here."
[8:43pm] NachtRuine: Zach tilts his head a little, both at the bug and DT. Such strange things.
[8:43pm] PresidentEvil: He squints at the trail leading into the woods. Roll perception?
[8:44pm] Uncandescent: "Looks like an offshoot of those things that tried outperforming the capybara down there. Certainly looks big enough..."
[8:45pm] Alivi: Eriko follows Greg's line of sight, "See anything?"
[8:45pm] Roget: Perception for anyone looking for stuff
[8:45pm] TheRaven: 6df+6
[8:45pm] Glacon: TheRaven: 5 (6df+6=-, 0, 0, 0, +, -)
[8:46pm] NachtRuine: 6df+5 i's gonna look too
[8:46pm] Glacon: NachtRuine: i's gonna look too: 3 (6df+5=+, -, -, +, -, -)
[8:46pm] PresidentEvil: 6df+5 "Hmm..."
[8:46pm] Glacon: PresidentEvil: "Hmm...": 2 (6df+5=+, -, -, -, -, 0)
[8:46pm] Uncandescent: DT stands upright. "Maybe the other thing is a family member. Came out of hibernation, found its brother a cadaver and freaked out."
[8:46pm] Alivi: 6df+8 looking
[8:46pm] Glacon: Alivi: looking: 9 (6df+8=0, +, 0, -, 0, +)
[8:46pm] Positronium: 6df+5 Everett looks and looks...
[8:46pm] Glacon: Positronium: Everett looks and looks...: 8 (6df+5=+, -, +, 0, +, +)
[8:46pm] Uncandescent: "The fire thing is interesting. Maybe it's a gender thing?"
[8:47pm] Uncandescent: "Females breathe fire, males... do whatever."
[8:48pm] NachtRuine: "Maybe you can ask it when we see it."
[8:48pm] Uncandescent: "I can only hope."
[8:49pm] PresidentEvil: "I think I'll settle for shooting it, personally."
[8:50pm] NachtRuine: "No argument from me there."
[8:50pm] Positronium: "Whatever works."
[8:50pm] Uncandescent: "Honey, not vinegar."
[8:51pm] NachtRuine: "That only works if the flies ain't trying to kill you."
[8:51pm] PresidentEvil: "Have you seen any of the shit that comes out of the pool, new meat?"
[8:51pm] TheRaven: "And who the hell wants flies anyways??"
[8:51pm] TheRaven: -?
[8:51pm] PresidentEvil: "I don't mean pictures in after-action reports. I mean, up close."
[8:52pm] Alivi: "Hm…" Eriko sighs.
[8:52pm] Uncandescent: "I've //stuff// and I've been alternately chased by //stuff// but that doesn't mean I can't be optimistic."
[8:52pm] Roget: Eriko, Everett, and Taggart see a glow in the distance.
[8:53pm] Uncandescent: "The way I see it, this place is a few thousand final frontiers all rolled up into one. You can't tell me that isn't cool."
[8:53pm] Alivi: "Wait…" Eriko steps forward, "Do you see that?"
[8:53pm] TheRaven: "Yeah, what is that?"
[8:54pm] Positronium: "Fire?"
[8:54pm] Alivi: "Let's go find out…"
[8:54pm] PresidentEvil: "Yeah, but space is just cold and uncaring."
[8:54pm] TheRaven: Is there any obvious source?
[8:54pm] PresidentEvil: "Give it a few weeks, you'll understand why we usually skip the vinegar and go straight to gasoline and matches."
[8:54pm] NachtRuine: Zach shakes his head as he hears DT's words, then heads closer to try to see this glow. "I'm thinkin' that's the fire."
[8:55pm] PresidentEvil: Greg saunters over to Eriko and Taggart. Can he see the light source now that it's been pointed out?
[8:55pm] Snoway is now known as Snowshoe.
[8:55pm] Uncandescent: "Yeah yeah, first contact awaits." he gestures towards where everyone is looking at. "After you, gentlemen."
[8:56pm] Alivi: Eriko looks at Taggart, "Should we go closer to check it out?"
[8:57pm] TheRaven: "Yeah, probably." He pulls out his binoculars and looks at the glowing area.
[8:57pm] Roget: He can see a glowing aura, but it's blocked by the trees
[8:57pm] Alivi: "Ok…" Eriko starts carefully walking towards the area.
[8:57pm] Roget: they'll have to get closer
[8:57pm] PresidentEvil: "I say we stay cautious. Get close enough to recon the light source before we decide further..."
[8:58pm] TheRaven: "Sounds good."
[8:58pm] Positronium: "Alright."
[8:58pm] NachtRuine: "Lead the way and I'll follow."
[8:58pm] Uncandescent: "Sounds good."
[8:58pm] PresidentEvil: Greg takes point.
[8:59pm] Alivi: Eriko has already started walking, has she seen anything else?
[8:59pm] PresidentEvil: He tries to stay low and quiet as he approaches the light source. Sneak?
[8:59pm] TheRaven: Taggart heads towards the glow, staying off the melted track.
[8:59pm] Roget: She hasn't seen anything yet
[9:00pm] Uncandescent: DT follows behind the others, patting the laptop holstered on his back in habit.
[9:00pm] Positronium: Everett cautiously follows Taggart.
[9:00pm] Soulless: Stoat catches up with the group.
[9:01pm] Uncandescent: DT glances back at the girl approaching. "Be you man or bug?"
[9:01pm] TheRaven: "Oh, hey Stoat."
[9:01pm] Alivi: Eriko tries to be as careful as she can, She feels awkward too, she glances back at the others before looking ahead.
[9:02pm] Roget: The glowing has gotten brighter
[9:02pm] Soulless: "Hey. Late, I know."
[9:02pm] PresidentEvil: "Hm?" Greg glances over at Stoat. "Better than never. Think you can get close to that light source without being spotted?"
[9:02pm] Soulless: "I can try."
[9:03pm] PresidentEvil: "Alright."
[9:03pm] PresidentEvil: "...Good to see you, Stoat."
[9:03pm] Soulless: 6df+8 Stoat tries to sneak up to the light source, preferring darker paths and obstructions over anywhere they'd be more easily seen.
[9:03pm] Glacon: Soulless: Stoat tries to sneak up to the light source, preferring darker paths and obstructions over anywhere they'd be more easily seen.: 8 (6df+8=-, -, 0, 0, +, +)
[9:03pm] Uncandescent: "A Stoat's better than a bug, I guess."
[9:04pm] Roget: She gets behind a bush... and can see a sort of will o the wisp entity, floating about a meter off the ground. It's giving off intense heat, which she can feel from where she crouches. The snow around it is melting, and it seems to be floating aimlessly
[9:05pm] Uncandescent: DT stands with the others, peering at the faint glow.
[9:05pm] Soulless: "..." Stoat carefully sneaks on back.
[9:06pm] Soulless: "It's like... a floating bit of fire. Really hot. Doesn't seem to be going anywhere."
[9:06pm] TheRaven: "Weird. Anyone have any ideas?"
[9:06pm] Uncandescent: "Hm. So not quite an invasion."
[9:06pm] Alivi: "Wow…that sounds incredible. Do you think we can communicate with it?"
[9:06pm] NachtRuine: "I'm thinkin' water ain't gonna work, then?"
[9:07pm] PresidentEvil: "Got a few." Greg says, flicking his safety off with a soft *click* for dramatic effect.
[9:07pm] Uncandescent: "Yeah, good luck with that."
[9:07pm] TheRaven: "Right, shoot the ball of fire. That'll work."
[9:07pm] Soulless: Stoat points to Taggart, since he's echoing her concerns.
[9:07pm] Alivi: "don't shoot it!"
[9:07pm] Uncandescent: "We have anything on sight that can contain it? We could set some more fires, see if that'll lure it in."
[9:07pm] Positronium: "Water /might/ work, though we could go back and get extinguishers."
[9:08pm] Uncandescent: *site
[9:08pm] PresidentEvil: "Hey, this thing fried some of our guys. You wanna sing kumbaya with it?"
[9:08pm] Alivi: "I have stuff to make thermite!"
[9:08pm] Positronium: "Something tells me that's not what we need here."
[9:08pm] Soulless: "You wanna anger it and it'll just burn us too."
[9:08pm] Uncandescent: "I'm sorry, are the Destroy Destroy Destroy Foundation? I must've missed the memo."
[9:08pm] TheRaven: "Fire extinguishers might work. Although if we do that, someone else is spraying it."
[9:09pm] PresidentEvil: "I'm not saying we shoot right away. I'm saying we be ready to."
[9:09pm] Uncandescent: "I guess that's fair. Hey, how big is it anyway?"
[9:09pm] Uncandescent: "We talking campfire, firefly, what."
[9:09pm] Soulless: Stoat makes a motion with her hands approximating how big the will-o-wisp is.
[9:10pm] Roget: It seems to be fairly big, as she has to stretch her arms out all the way.
[9:11pm] PresidentEvil: "...Yeah, I'm gonna call this in."
[9:11pm] Alivi: Eriko seems very shocked. "Wow… it is big… "
[9:11pm] NachtRuine: "Well, damn. Doubt a fire extinguisher'll do a good job of that."
[9:12pm] TheRaven: "I'd rather not try. Did you know fire extinguishers explode if you heat them too much? Don't ask me how I know that."
[9:12pm] PresidentEvil: Greg clicks his radio on and tries to raise the camp. <<Command, Powell. We've located the entity. Appears to be an animate ball of fire. Please advise.>>
[9:12pm] Uncandescent: "Well that's not encouraging." DT grabs his chin, thinking. "What do you say we try and lure it out her, to more open ground? I'm not too keen on taking it on in there, and if force does win the day it'll be easier to take measures out here than in there."
[9:14pm] Roget: <<You've been sent to deal with the fire, Powell. Please observe the threat entity and report on its combat capabilities.>>
[9:14pm] Alivi: "Let's try light first…like flashlight"
[9:14pm] PresidentEvil: <<Roger. We're going to try to lure it into the open and observe its behavior. Will keep you posted, out.>>
[9:14pm] NachtRuine: Zach thinks for a moment. "Maybe if... nah, never mind."
[9:15pm] PresidentEvil: Greg clicks the transmit button back off and turns to the others. "No help from command, of course."
[9:16pm] Uncandescent: "Flashlights could work, I guess. I don't think there's much room for a brain in all that fire." He looks over at Greg. "Well, that just means they have faith in us." He says with a grin.
[9:16pm] TheRaven: "Anyone know Morse code?"
[9:16pm] PresidentEvil: "I've got flares if you think that'd help."
[9:16pm] Alivi: Eriko turns on her flashlight.
[9:16pm] PresidentEvil: "Drop one and get back, maybe..."
[9:16pm] seagull left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[9:16pm] Soulless: "...Someone can go bait it, maybe. So it won't come after all of us."
[9:16pm] Positronium: "I wouldn't assume it's an unintelligent entity."
[9:16pm] NachtRuine: "Let's try flashlight first, then flare."
[9:17pm] Alivi: "Let's try flashlight first then if it needs heat then we can use the flare."
[9:17pm] Uncandescent: "Maybe not stupid, but dumb enough."
[9:18pm] Positronium: "Assumptions get you killed."
[9:18pm] PresidentEvil: "Why would a living fire know a code based on the frequency of the Latin alphabet?"
[9:19pm] Alivi: "Let;s just try this," Eriko sighs, "Should I go and see what happens?"
[9:19pm] TheRaven: "Ever notice that everything speaks English?"
[9:19pm] Uncandescent: "Anything is possible. But in any case, Weasel is right, only one person needs to risk this."
[9:19pm] PresidentEvil: "She's Stoat, buddy."
[9:19pm] Uncandescent: "S'waht I said."
[9:19pm] PresidentEvil: "Sure."
[9:20pm] Uncandescent: "Any volunteers?"
[9:20pm] Alivi: "I'll try…" Eriko says.
[9:20pm] Soulless: "I'll do it."
[9:20pm] Soulless: Stoat gives Eriko /that/ look.
[9:20pm] Uncandescent: He looks to Eriko. "Confident you're fast enough? There might be some running involved."
[9:20pm] Soulless: "I'm fast. I'll go."
[9:21pm] Alivi: "I can run..."
[9:21pm] Soulless: "Give me the flashlight."
[9:21pm] TheRaven: "Be careful."
[9:21pm] Alivi: Eriko gives a look back at Stoat.
[9:21pm] Uncandescent: DT backs off from the lookfest.
[9:21pm] Soulless: She was holding Eriko's hand while the latter was in the hospital due to illness. The last thing Stoat wants is Eriko being hurt again. For any reason, virus or fire.
[9:21pm] TheRaven: "I'm still not sure this is a good idea."
[9:22pm] PresidentEvil: Greg drops to a knee and sights his gun on the glow. "I'll cover you if I can, but I don't know if bullets will do anything. Be careful."
[9:22pm] Soulless: "Give me the flashlight. You stay safe, Eriko."
[9:22pm] Alivi: "Fine, but I am making Thermite just in case…."
[9:22pm] Soulless: "Fine."
[9:22pm] Uncandescent: "Now wait, hey, at least take cover behind the bug or something. If it's not hostile, we don't need to provoke it."
[9:23pm] Alivi: She holds out the flashlight.
[9:23pm] PresidentEvil: "If it is hostile, we need to provide fire support as quickly as possible."
[9:23pm] Soulless: Stoat takes. "Okay."
[9:23pm] Positronium: "Good luck."
[9:23pm] Soulless: "You all get in position, then."
[9:24pm] Alivi: "We will…" Eriko kneels down and starts taking items out of her bag. She is going to try and make thermite!
[9:24pm] PresidentEvil: Greg is already in a shooter's crouch.
[9:24pm] Uncandescent: DT puts his hands up in the air. "Alright, whatever, I ain't putting you out."
[9:24pm] PresidentEvil: Perception to ranged, or can he not see the fireball well enough?
[9:24pm] TheRaven: Taggart flanks around to the side. Same question.
[9:24pm] Roget: What exactly is stoat doing
[9:24pm] Roget: sure, perc to ranged
[9:24pm] NachtRuine: Zach pulls out his revolver, not aimed at the fireball, but ready to aim if need be.
[9:25pm] Alivi: 6df+8 Thermite creation?
[9:25pm] Glacon: Alivi: Thermite creation?: 8 (6df+8=0, 0, 0, +, 0, -)
[9:25pm] Positronium: Everett walks around to the other side.
[9:25pm] TheRaven: 6df+6
[9:25pm] Uncandescent: DT scans the ground, making out escape routes. You know, just in case. Per to Agi?
[9:25pm] Glacon: TheRaven: 7 (6df+6=0, +, +, -, +, -)
[9:25pm] PresidentEvil: 6df+5 percep maneuver

[9:26pm] Wilt joined the chat room.
[9:26pm] Wilt was promoted to administrator by ChanServ.
[9:26pm] Wilt was promoted to operator by ChanServ.
[9:26pm] Uncandescent: He notices the snow is very slushy. Oh, and there's that bug again! That bug is awesome.
[9:26pm] Mr_Wilt left the chat room. (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[9:27pm] Soulless: "Tell me when reay."
[9:27pm] Soulless: *ready
[9:27pm] TheRaven: "Go."
[9:27pm] Wilt is now known as Mr_Wilt.
[9:28pm] Soulless: 6df+8 Stoat heads to the will-o-wisp again, hoping to avoid detection.
[9:28pm] Glacon: Soulless: Stoat heads to the will-o-wisp again, hoping to avoid detection.: 7 (6df+8=0, -, -, -, +, +)
[9:28pm] Uncandescent: DT crouches down with the others, a bit further back.
[9:29pm] Roget: 6df+6 lol I see you
[9:29pm] Glacon: Roget: lol I see you: 4 (6df+6=-, -, 0, +, 0, -)
[9:30pm] Roget: The wisp drifts around, not reacting to Stoat.
[9:30pm] Soulless: Stoat shines the flashlight to get the wisp's attention.
[9:31pm] NachtRuine: Zach holds his breath in anticipation.
[9:32pm] Roget: The wisp IMMEDIATELY turns bright red, expands to about twice its original size, and Stoat is hit with a heat wave as it suddenly becomes hotter. It begins heading towards her very quickly
[9:32pm] TheRaven: "Fuck."
[9:32pm] TheRaven: 6df+12 bullets
[9:32pm] Glacon: TheRaven: bullets: 15 (6df+12=+, +, 0, +, +, -)
[9:32pm] Positronium: "..."
[9:32pm] Uncandescent: "What. Did it work?"
[9:32pm] Roget: the bullets pass through the fire.
[9:33pm] TheRaven: "Turn off the light!"
[9:33pm] Alivi: Eriko pockets the thermite she made and looks up. "[Dammit….]"
[9:33pm] Uncandescent: "I'm going to assume it didn't work."
[9:33pm] Positronium: ~Well, that was obvious.~
[9:33pm] Roget: Stoat should roll agility to run away
[9:33pm] PresidentEvil: Can Greg use a flare to distract it?
[9:33pm] PresidentEvil: Maybe roll throwing weapons to help Stoat?
[9:34pm] Soulless: Stoat turns off the flashlight and starts runnin.
[9:34pm] Soulless: 6df+12 (Taggin Specialized) Ooooh boooy
[9:34pm] Glacon: Soulless: (Taggin Specialized) Ooooh boooy: 12 (6df+12=-, +, +, 0, -, 0)
[9:34pm] Roget: Roll thrown
[9:34pm] Roget: 6df+9 I AM VERY ANGRY AND ALSO ON FIRE
[9:34pm] Glacon: Roget: I AM VERY ANGRY AND ALSO ON FIRE: 9 (6df+9=0, 0, 0, 0, +, -)
[9:34pm] PresidentEvil: Greg puts some distance between himself and the group, then strikes a flare and chucks it as far away from them (and Stoat) as possible.
[9:34pm] PresidentEvil: 6df+4 "HIT THE DECK!!!"
[9:34pm] Glacon: PresidentEvil: "HIT THE DECK!!!": 2 (6df+4=0, 0, -, 0, -, 0)
[9:34pm] Tehpillowstar left the chat room. (Quit: brb going to the moon)
[9:35pm] Roget: Stoat is able to put some distance between her and the thing, but it is still in hot pursuit. It slows briefly when the flare is thrown, then continues chasing Stoat.
[9:35pm] TheRaven: "Thermite!"
[9:36pm] Uncandescent: Seeing the fire, DT tenses. "I don't think that'll help!"
[9:36pm] Positronium: "It's not like fire could make it bigger or anything."
[9:36pm] Alivi: "I have it! You need it?" Eriko holds it out to Taggart. She cant light it or throw it.
[9:37pm] TheRaven: "Greg, you've got the flares, get that lit!"
[9:37pm] Roget: Stoat, where are you running to?
[9:37pm] Uncandescent: He watches Stoat running for his life, and thinks fast. "Maybe if, if one of us uses another flashlight, we can lure it to us. Then she can use hers to lure it to her, and we pin it in place!"
[9:37pm] Positronium: "Pin it how?"
[9:38pm] PresidentEvil: "That's the plan!" Greg yells, striking another flare and reaching to take the thermite.
[9:38pm] PresidentEvil: "We need a big heat source to distract it!"
[9:39pm] Alivi: Eriko hands it to Greg.
[9:39pm] Alivi: "This should do it!"
[9:39pm] PresidentEvil: Greg touches the flare to the fuse/wick, winds up...
[9:40pm] PresidentEvil: 6df+8 and tags The Professional for the throw
[9:40pm] Glacon: PresidentEvil: and tags The Professional for the throw: 8 (6df+8=-, 0, +, +, -, 0)
[9:40pm] Soulless: Stoat be running. <<If you got a plan. Do it soon. I ain't the Flash.>>
[9:40pm] Alivi: "Throw it fast!"
[9:40pm] Uncandescent: "Or, we could do that. I guess." DT says, lapsing back into trying to figure out a long term solution.
[9:42pm] Roget: It hits the ground, and ignites a tree. The wisp stops chasing stoat, and moves to it.
[9:42pm] TheRaven: "Perfect!" <<You okay, Stoat?>>
[9:42pm] Uncandescent: DT lets out a breath. This really wasn't going well. Fighting fire is //hard//.
[9:43pm] PresidentEvil: Greg pumps his fist in the air.
[9:43pm] Uncandescent: <<Nice footwork.>>
[9:43pm] Roget: When the wisp reaches the fire, it briefly pauses before absorbing it into its mass, about doubling its size.
[9:43pm] Roget: it turns a deeper red
[9:43pm] Soulless: <<Fine. That thing is less fine.>>
[9:43pm] Uncandescent: <<Ohhhhhhhhhh shit.>>
[9:43pm] PresidentEvil: "Oh, for the love of-"
[9:44pm] NachtRuine: "Okay! New plan?" He sounds much more nervous.
[9:44pm] TheRaven: <<Uh, command, you don't have a big fireproof box anywhere, do you?>>
[9:44pm] Positronium: "Call in a helicopter with a bucket?"
[9:44pm] PresidentEvil: Greg scoops up a handful of snow and starts rolling it into ball form. "I've got an idea..." he says, tossing it up and down idly. "But we need to scale it up a bit."
[9:45pm] Uncandescent: "Okay, okay, new plan, new plan... uh... lure it to the Red Pool? Try to melt it and then... yeah I don't know."
[9:45pm] Soulless: Stoat heads back to the others. "You think that will work. Snow might melt even before it hits it."
[9:45pm] Positronium: "What?  Melting the ice is /bad./"
[9:45pm] Alivi: Eriko thinks. Can she roll a science to try and figure out what would be best ?
[9:45pm] Positronium: "But if it does melt, then it's still water."
[9:45pm] PresidentEvil: "Well you sure as hell don't fight fire with gasoline!" Greg snaps.
[9:45pm] Uncandescent: "Water is water, even if it's interdimensional water."
[9:45pm] NachtRuine: "I ain't makin' that pool melt faster than it's gonna."
[9:46pm] Uncandescent: "We're a little short on lakes right now."
[9:46pm] PresidentEvil: "We are not risking a further emergence event. End of discussion."
[9:46pm] Alivi: "We may have to..."
[9:47pm] Uncandescent: Epiphany. "Wait, we have a water tower, right?"
[9:47pm] PresidentEvil: "Let's try to exhaust our other options, first."
[9:47pm] PresidentEvil: Greg grins at DTs comment.
[9:47pm] Soulless: "...You plan to water tower the thing."
[9:47pm] PresidentEvil: "If you're thinking what I'm thinking Command is gonna /hate/ this."
[9:47pm] NachtRuine: "I've heard worse ideas."
[9:47pm] Positronium: "I /enjoy/ drinking water."
[9:47pm] TheRaven: "...that just might work. It's a terrible idea, but it might work."
[9:47pm] NachtRuine: "Better than a big ol' fireball floating around the place."
[9:48pm] Soulless: "We're going to be drinking juice for a while, then."
[9:48pm] Alivi: "No! That means we lead it closer to the area…. that's dangerous..."
[9:48pm] Positronium: "It's on the other side of the area."
[9:48pm] PresidentEvil: "Well, we need to either dump a lot of water on this thing, or keep feeding it until it collapses into a black hole."
[9:48pm] Uncandescent: "Well, I kind of stopped caring about what command wants after they pit us against an immortal fire beast. It's across the site, but we got vehicles, right?" He says, peering over in the general direction of the garage.
[9:48pm] Positronium: "We'd have to take it past command, supply, the residential prefabs..."
[9:48pm] PresidentEvil: "What do you guys suggest?"
[9:49pm] NachtRuine: "Let's go around it?"
[9:49pm] Roget: The wisp begins drifting towards the group
[9:49pm] Positronium: "Helicopter?"
[9:49pm] Positronium: "Crap.  Lets move."
[9:49pm] TheRaven: "What about explosives?"
[9:49pm] PresidentEvil: "Can we not feed it any more thermal energy, Taggart?"
[9:49pm] Soulless: Stoat starts heading. "It feeds on fire. Won't it just eat explosions."
[9:49pm] Uncandescent: DT looks back. "What? Why? Are-- oh. Yeah, that's bad. Back away, slowly."
[9:50pm] Soulless: *heading over
[9:50pm] Soulless: "Don't think we have much in way of options."
[9:50pm] Positronium: Everett starts moving back.
[9:50pm] Roget: It begins approaching at a faster rate
[9:50pm] PresidentEvil: Greg starts backing off with the others, trying very hard to remember high school science classes.
[9:50pm] Uncandescent: "I nominate the garage. Beats running, right?"
[9:50pm] Uncandescent: "Or dying?"
[9:50pm] Alivi: 6df+12 (tagging Wait I can still figure it out!)
[9:50pm] Glacon: Alivi: (tagging Wait I can still figure it out!): 14 (6df+12=+, 0, 0, +, -, +)
[9:50pm] Positronium: "Leading it to other people is a /bad/ idea."
[9:51pm] Positronium: "Remember?"
[9:51pm] TheRaven: "No, I read somewhere that you can put out certain types of fire with high-velocity explosives. Something about the shockwave removing its oxygen or something."
[9:51pm] PresidentEvil: "Leading it to gasoline is a worse idea."
[9:51pm] PresidentEvil: "Is it just me, or did it get redder when its mass increased? Like a star?"
[9:51pm] Uncandescent: "Eeeeh. Yeah. That would kind of suck."
[9:51pm] PresidentEvil: "If that's fusion it doesn't need oxygen..."
[9:51pm] Alivi: "It did…."
[9:51pm] Roget: Eriko, it'd need a bunch of water all at once.... like from a water tower.
[9:51pm] TheRaven: "Gasoline, and I use their flammables box to hold some of my reloading supplies, let's not give it powder too."
[9:52pm] Positronium: "It also changed color when it noticed Stoat, and I don't think that's fusion."
[9:52pm] Roget: They can feel the heat from the wisp as it gets closer and faster
[9:52pm] Roget: There's also a crackling, campfire sound.
[9:52pm] Alivi: Eriko sighs, "There is no other option, the water tower, it needs to get it all on it at once."
[9:52pm] PresidentEvil: "Okay, fuck it, run!" Greg chucks the snowball at the thing, turns and hoofs it
[9:52pm] PresidentEvil: 6df+4 splat
[9:52pm] Glacon: PresidentEvil: splat: 7 (6df+4=+, +, 0, +, 0, 0)
[9:52pm] Positronium: Everett's still moving back.
[9:52pm] Alivi: Eriko nods and starts moving back with the group.
[9:53pm] Uncandescent: "I think it just made the decision for us. should we--okay then!" DT hoofs it, in what he's pretty sure the direction of the water tower is.
[9:53pm] TheRaven: Taggart is hauling ass.
[9:53pm] Alivi: Eriko turns and starts running after the others.
[9:53pm] PresidentEvil: <<Command, we're leading it around the edge of the camp to the water tower! Clear everyone and anything flammable out of the area, do you copy?>>
[9:53pm] Uncandescent: 6df+6 What do you mean I don't have anything I can tag for this?
[9:53pm] Glacon: Uncandescent: What do you mean I don't have anything I can tag for this?: 5 (6df+6=0, +, 0, -, 0, -)
[9:54pm] Soulless: Stoat also runs, ready to if need be distract it from the group and run off.
[9:54pm] Roget: When the snowball hits it, it turns BRIGHT red, and begins chasing them quickly
[9:54pm] Roget: (paused real quick while I shower)
[9:54pm] PresidentEvil: "For fuck's sake..."
[10:00pm] Gara left the chat room. (Quit: Concert time, bye all.)
[10:09pm] Roget: Suddenly, a column of fire blasts toward them at a rate of 9 flavors too fast.
[10:09pm] Roget: Everyone, agility

[10:15pm] Uncandescent: DT staggers to the side, just barely avoiding the blast.

[10:20pm] Roget: Greg, you take -3 body. Stoat and Everett takes -2, and everyone else takes -1.
[10:20pm] • Pixeltasim is away: I'm busy
[10:22pm] TheRaven: "Ow! Owhotowowow! You guys okay?"
[10:22pm] PresidentEvil: "No! No I'm not!"
[10:22pm] NachtRuine: "Gagh, dammit, dammit! Faagh!"
[10:22pm] Alivi: Eriko looks back, "Greg!" She goes over to help him.
[10:22pm] Roget is now known as Rogat|Away.
[10:23pm] PresidentEvil: Greg is trying to run while stopping dropping and rolling.
[10:23pm] PresidentEvil: It's going about as well as you think.
[10:23pm] Soulless: Stoat takes their flashlight.
[10:24pm] Roget joined the chat room.
[10:24pm] Uncandescent: "Hooooooly crap that was close." ~And awesome.~ "You guys..." He looks back at the pack of burning bodies, wincing at the sight and smell of burnt flesh. "Jesus! Everyone still mobile?!"
[10:24pm] TheRaven: "I'll be alright, keep moving!"
[10:25pm] Roget: The wisp seems to have slowed down, and its mass has reduced a bit. It's still pretty big and quick though.
[10:25pm] Alivi: Eriko still tries to run.
[10:25pm] Positronium: "I think so."  Everett continues to run, despite the nasty burns.
[10:25pm] Alivi: "Stoat, don't!"
[10:25pm] Soulless: "I can keep running."
[10:26pm] Roget was promoted to room founder by ChanServ.
[10:26pm] Roget was promoted to operator by ChanServ.
[10:26pm] PresidentEvil: Greg grits his teeth, managing to keep his feet moving through the screaming pain. "JUST KEEP MOVING!"
[10:26pm] Alivi: "I know but dont do something that will make it angry."
[10:26pm] TheRaven: "Stoat, forget the light, toss it!"
[10:26pm] Roget: The crackling sound grows louder
[10:26pm] Alivi: Eriko keeps running as best as she can watching the others to make sure they are ok.
[10:27pm] Uncandescent: DT looks ahead, expression grim. ~There's an idea, let it burn us until it starves out.~ He says with a small, dark smirk. He quickly let it sink back into a focused expression as he kept his eyes focused on the horizon, trying to see the water tower.
[10:27pm] NachtRuine: "We gotta... ff... We gotta keep moving!"
[10:27pm] Roget: They're about halfway to the tower, and they can see it on the horizen. They can also feel the heat from the wisp as it gets closer.
[10:28pm] PresidentEvil: <<Command, we're halfway there! Have you cleared the water tower yet!?>>
[10:28pm] TheRaven: "Throw the light, distract it!"
[10:28pm] Roget: <<Water tower is clear>>
[10:29pm] Soulless: Stoat flicks it on and tosses it to distract it from here.
[10:29pm] Soulless: *distract it from themselves
[10:29pm] PresidentEvil: <<We've got wounded, prep medical! Have them ready to move on the all clear, copy?>>
[10:30pm] Roget: The wisp slows briefly, then continues after them
[10:30pm] Alivi: "It didn't work!"
[10:30pm] NachtRuine: "Wait, how are we go -  dammi... How are we gonna get the water tower busted open?!"
[10:30pm] Alivi: "Let it burn it itself!"
[10:30pm] PresidentEvil: "We'll think of something!"
[10:30pm] TheRaven: What's the water tower made of?
[10:30pm] PresidentEvil: "Just keep running!"
[10:31pm] Weston joined the chat room.
[10:31pm] Positronium: "If we still had thermite, I'd use it on the supports!"
[10:31pm] Roget: metal. the tank containing water is attached to the top, with a valve running to the bottom dispensing water.
[10:31pm] PresidentEvil: "We shoot open the valve on the bottom!"
[10:31pm] Alivi: "I don't have the material anymore…its been hard to get..."
[10:31pm] PresidentEvil: "Either that, or convince it to melt the legs!"
[10:32pm] Uncandescent: "Lure it into the supports! Make it bring it down on itself!"
[10:32pm] TheRaven: "Greg, just ventilate the tank!"
[10:32pm] Soulless: "Do both."
[10:32pm] NachtRuine: "Sounds like a couple of plans to me!"
[10:32pm] PresidentEvil: "Not a lot we can do from here, keep running!"
[10:32pm] Roget: The thing lobs a fireball... Directly at DT. DT and anyone around, roll agility
[10:33pm] PresidentEvil: Greg is, thankfully, not standing near DT at the moment.
[10:33pm] Uncandescent: 6df+6 Kind of a sore loser, huh?
[10:33pm] Glacon: Uncandescent: Kind of a sore loser, huh?: 5 (6df+6=-, +, 0, -, +, -)

[10:34pm] Roget: DT takes -1 body as a fireball explodes nearby. Nobody else is injured
[10:34pm] PresidentEvil: How close is the tower?
[10:35pm] BiggerJ joined the chat room.
[10:35pm] Roget: They've just reached it
[10:35pm] Uncandescent: "Gah!" DT cries out as his jacket ignites. He hits the ground in a roll, grappling with the zipper while crying out and choking from the smoke. He yanks it down and throws the jacket to the side, taking the moment for a deep breath before resuming runnin
[10:36pm] PresidentEvil: Greg drops to his feet, trying to sight on the valve. "Somebody lure it under the tower!"
[10:36pm] Soulless: "Hey. Follow. Me. Fireball." Stoat starts trying to lure it under the tower, running all the while. They wonder they can do it piss it off more, but all they have are knives.
[10:36pm] Positronium: Everett runs under and away from the tower.
[10:36pm] TheRaven: "Gimme a flare!"
[10:36pm] TheRaven: "Stoat, you are not doing this."
[10:36pm] Soulless: *She wonders what she can do to piss it off more, but all she has are knives
[10:36pm] Alivi: "Stoat no!"
[10:36pm] PresidentEvil: Greg yanks one out of his pouch and tosses it... to Stoat.
[10:36pm] Soulless: "No time to argue."
[10:36pm] PresidentEvil: "Taggart, be ready to fire!"
[10:37pm] Uncandescent: DT looks at the tower through his one open eye, the other squinting from the pain. Roll Engineering to provide weakness bonus to Taggert?
[10:37pm] PresidentEvil: Could Greg also potentially use that bonus, Roget?
[10:37pm] Soulless: Stoat lights the flare, holding onto it for a moment to see if the flare gets the fireball's attention.
[10:37pm] TheRaven: "Dammit Greg!"
[10:37pm] PresidentEvil: "I SAID GET READY!"
[10:39pm] Roget: Greg could
[10:40pm] Uncandescent: 6df+8 Now let's see, structural engineering, the weakest point on a structure like this is...

[10:40pm] TheRaven: Taggart mutters several obscenities and flips the safety off his rifle.
[10:41pm] Soulless: Does the flare seem to make the fireball focus on Stoat?
[10:41pm] Positronium: Everett stops, draws his pistol, and turns around.
[10:42pm] Roget: The wisp is following Stoat
[10:42pm] PresidentEvil: Is she under the valve, now?
[10:42pm] Uncandescent: Does my thing succeed?
[10:43pm] Roget: Yes it does
[10:43pm] Soulless: Stoat heads right for the water tower, then.
[10:43pm] Weston left the chat room. (Client exited)
[10:43pm] Weston joined the chat room.
[10:43pm] Roget: The weakness is in the lower joints connecting it to the ground.
[10:44pm] Uncandescent: DT slides next to the tower. "There!" He yells, pointing. "Hit it there and this thing turns into a ton of bricks!"
[10:44pm] tretter joined the chat room.
[10:45pm] Positronium: Can Everett take advantage of that?
[10:45pm] Roget: Yup
[10:45pm] PresidentEvil: "Stoat, get ready to drop the flare and run!"
[10:45pm] TheRaven: "Get clear, Stoat!"
[10:45pm] Roget: At the sound of DT's voice, it flares a bit, but keeps chasing Stoat
[10:45pm] Positronium: 6df+5 Aiming maneuver?
[10:45pm] Glacon: Positronium: Aiming maneuver?: 0 (6df+5=-, 0, -, -, -, -)
[10:46pm] Roget: Everett gets some snow in his eye, and his aim is wildly off
[10:46pm] Soulless: 6df+8 Stoat tosses the flare under the tower and dives off.
[10:46pm] Glacon: Soulless: Stoat tosses the flare under the tower and dives off.: 10 (6df+8=-, +, +, -, +, +)
[10:46pm] Positronium: He stops to clear it out.
[10:46pm] Roget: The wisp begins chasing after Stoat for a moment...
[10:47pm] Roget: Before turning and heading to the flare.
[10:47pm] PresidentEvil: ~Oh, no.~
[10:47pm] PresidentEvil: Greg narrows his eye and squeezes the trigger.
[10:47pm] Alivi: Eriko watches, "Oh please…."
[10:47pm] Uncandescent: ~Oh yes.~
[10:47pm] TheRaven: 6df+8 Taggart unloads on the weak spot (assuming that's not a taggable maneuver?)

[10:48pm] Roget: The water tower creaks audibly after sustaining the gunfire.
[10:48pm] Roget: There is a moment of silence
[10:48pm] Uncandescent: DT holds his breath for an endless moment
[10:49pm] Soulless: Stoat gets ready to run again if need be, panting hard.
[10:49pm] Roget: Then... The tower collapses inward, onto the wisp. There is an extremely loud hiss, and everyone is splashed with freezing cold water. Immediately, a huge steam cloud engulfs them all.
[10:49pm] TheRaven: "Fuck..."
[10:49pm] Alivi: Eriko gasps in shock as the cold water crashes on her then the steam.
[10:49pm] PresidentEvil: Greg sees stars when the water washes over his wounds. His knees buckle for an instant.
[10:50pm] Uncandescent: A shiver travels throughout the entire length of DT's jacketless body, the cold quickly supplanted by the warmth of victory.
[10:50pm] PresidentEvil: He tries to keep his gun trained on where he saw the wisp as best he can...
[10:50pm] Positronium: Everett flinches as the water rushes over him.
[10:51pm] Roget: After the steam clears, everyone can see the spot where the wisp was has all the snow completely melted, and they can see the earth below it. There is a small red glow at the center of this crater, beyond where anyone can see clearly.
[10:51pm] Soulless: Stoat lays in the snow and is covered in cold water.
[10:51pm] Positronium: Shivering, Everett steps closer to examine the source of the glow.
[10:51pm] TheRaven: <<Command, you wanna get a containment team out here?>>
[10:51pm] Strife joined the chat room.
[10:51pm] TheRaven: Taggart runs over to Stoat.
[10:51pm] Soulless: She slowly gets up, her chest heaving.
[10:52pm] PresidentEvil: <<Roll medics, too, we've got multiple wounded.>> Greg says, following Taggart over.
[10:52pm] Alivi: Eriko shivers and stands trying to follow Everett to see what it is
[10:52pm] Uncandescent: "Sweet..." DT says blearily, before the hands propping him up slide and leave him lying in he snow with a small smile on his face.
[10:52pm] Roget: <<Roger that.>>
[10:52pm] Soulless: She tries to say a few things, but just pants for now, winded as hell.
[10:53pm] PresidentEvil: Greg kneels beside Stoat. "Are you alright?" he asks her.
[10:53pm] Soulless: "Not dead."
[10:53pm] TheRaven: He helps her up. "Okay, first off, everyone get back to your quarters and get some dry clothes."
[10:53pm] Roget: <<Are your wounded unable to walk?>>
[10:54pm] Uncandescent: "Whoo." He says tiredly, before picking himself up and rubbing his arms close to his body.
[10:54pm] Roget: Everyone is cold
[10:54pm] Alivi: Eriko sits down on the ground.
[10:54pm] PresidentEvil: Greg's head is swimming ever so slightly. <<Negative, we're all moving>> he says somewhat unsteadily into the mic.
[10:54pm] Roget: <<Please make your way to medical, a burn ward has been set up.>>
[10:55pm] Positronium: Any sign of the thing?
[10:55pm] Roget: Shortly afterwards, a containment team arrives, investigating the crater. They hold up a glowing red rock, which they toss in a sack and take with them.
[10:55pm] TheRaven: <<We'll be over shortly.>>
[10:55pm] Soulless: Stoat shifts away from the help, as per her usual.
[10:55pm] PresidentEvil: <<Roger that.>> Greg clicks the mic off. "Lazy assholes." he mutters... "Okay, anyone need help walking to medical?"
[10:55pm] Uncandescent: DT shivers at first, but quickly stops being bothered by it as he more or less goes numb. He watches the team venture into the crater and take the rock with a smile.
[10:55pm] Alivi: Eriko watches the containment unit do their job
[10:55pm] TheRaven: "Alright, come on. Stoat, you need a hand or anything?"
[10:56pm] Soulless: She gets up an does go to medical though. "I think you're the most hurt, Greg. If you can walk, we can too. I'm not dead. So fine."
[10:56pm] Roget: Everyone who goes to med gets a +1 to body, for the record.
[10:56pm] Positronium: Everett does so.
[10:56pm] Positronium: Walking as fast as he safely can.
[10:56pm] SWLogs joined the chat room.
[10:56pm] Alivi: Eriko gets up and makes her way to med.
[10:56pm] ShockwaveLover joined the chat room.
[10:56pm] ShockwaveLover was promoted to operator by ChanServ.
[10:56pm] PresidentEvil: "I'll get help when I'm dead. You guys sure you don't need help?" he says, starting down the path.
[10:57pm] Uncandescent: DT shakes his legs out, then begins walking. "If it's all the same to you guys, let's not do this again any time soon."
[10:57pm] Positronium: "Welcome to the Area."
[10:57pm] TheRaven: Taggart heads over to his prefab and changes before looking around. Since he and Stoat are both in the same one, does she have like, a suitcase or anything lying around?
[10:57pm] PresidentEvil: "Now that I can agree with."
[10:58pm] PresidentEvil: Greg lights up a cigarette.
[10:58pm] Roget: When the poolboys heading to med get there, they find about 7 doctors with bandages and healing ointments.
[10:59pm] NachtRuine: Zach pants and shivers on his way. He says to Greg, "You sure you haven't done enough smoking?"
[10:59pm] PresidentEvil: Greg tries to redirect anyone helping him to the others until everyone else is receiving treatment.
[10:59pm] Uncandescent: DT waddles over to the dormitories to get a fresh change of clothes, admire his burn mark, then head out to Medical.
[10:59pm] Soulless: Stoat heads to medical to get treated first, then go gets a change of clothes.
[11:00pm] Uncandescent: He arrives and sits patiently in a chair while his shoulder gets unburnified, projecting himself into a place where the burn ointment doesn't sting quite so much.
[11:00pm] PresidentEvil: "Clever, Zach. quite clever."
[11:00pm] TheRaven: Taggart was gonna bring her some, since he went to the prefab first.
[11:01pm] Soulless: How Kawaii.
[11:02pm] NachtRuine: He smirks, then grimaces. "I have my moments." He goes to get his burns healed.
[11:02pm] Soulless: Stoat seems to have a blank expression as she's being treated, and only accepts relatively minimal treatment.
[11:04pm] TheRaven: Well, assuming Taggart arrives before she leaves, he does that anyways before getting some burn treatment for himself.
