* Positronium is now known as Audient_Void
* Audient_Void is now known as Positronium
* AgentFlowers is now known as Event_Horizon
<Roget> Fish is out on patrol
* Event_Horizon is now known as AgentFlowers
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe decides to go outside.
<Roget> She might see Fish patrolling
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe does see Fish!
<Tehpillowstar> She nods towards his direction.
<Roget> She might see him look away when he notices he is being watched.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe frowns, slightly puzzled, but she shrugs it off. Despite the intense cold, she admits to herself that she does love snow.
<Tehpillowstar> Perhaps this assignment won't be so bad.
* TheRaven ([email protected]) has joined
<Tehpillowstar> She walks over to the scattered rubble if the old site and turns on her flashlight.
<Roget> She sees a whole bunch of rocks, twisted steel, and broken stuff.
<Strife> Hijack is in the cafeteria, reading the site rules to see if there's a policy about ice fishing in the Red Pool.
<Strife> "Do they really have to capitalize every instance of Red Pool?"
<Tehpillowstar> Anything interesting in the ruins?
<Roget> roll perception
<Tehpillowstar> 6df+5
<Glacon> Tehpillowstar: 8 (6df+5=+, +, +, 0, +, -)
<Roget> she sees something moving a little ways ahead
<Tehpillowstar> She shines her flashlight into the ruins with one hand, the other towards her sidearm.
<Strife> "Well, no rules against it. I wonder if I could get an auger someplace . . ."
<Tehpillowstar> *towards the movement
<Roget> There seems to be something bobbing slightly above the ground.
<Roget> it looks to have a blue glow
<Tehpillowstar> "What the...? "
<Roget> It starts bobbing away, towards the woods
<Tehpillowstar> She takes out her radio, <<Command, this is Agent Song, spotted something in the ruins, headed for the woods. >> She begins to follow.
<TheRaven> Taggart is still out on patrol. Would he hear the radio call?
<Tehpillowstar> Slowly, hesitantly.
<Roget> Yep, he could
<Strife> Would a researcher like Hijack hear it?
<Roget> If he was listening to his radio
<TheRaven> <<Roger that, direction?>> An Australian-accented voice crackles over the radio.
<Tehpillowstar> Which direction Roget?
<Roget> Towards the bug
<Tehpillowstar> <<It's heading East.>>
<Strife> <<Do you need additional personnel? I'm awake.>> Hijack is apparently not one for radio protocol.
<Tehpillowstar> <<Unsure if the anomaly is hostile.>>
<TheRaven> Taggart heads east. <<En route, meet you there.>>
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe picks up speed to make sure she doesn't lose sight of it.
<AgentFlowers> <<Agent MacDonald here, copy that, standing by.>>
<Strife> <<Researcher Castillo, on the way.>>
<Roget> It seems to be picking up speed
<PresidentEvil> <<Agent Powell, en route.>>
<TheRaven> <<Lily, aren't you supposed to be off duty?>>
<PresidentEvil> Greg starts towards the ruins.
<Gara> <<Agent Steinburg, on route.>> Loren heads towards the ruins.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe pulls out her gun and is now jogging to catch up.
<PresidentEvil> Greg is heading towards the ruins at a fairly brisk run.
<Roget> Anyone approaching the treeline will see a blue orb heading into the woods.
<AgentFlowers> <<Yeah, yeah, if I hear screams I'm coming anyway.>>
<Strife> Hijack moves at a faster pace in the direction of the ruins. Best find an Agent to follow before he gets lost, even if their radio protocol sucks.
<Tehpillowstar> <<Anomaly appears to be a glowing blue orb. >>
<PresidentEvil> Greg sees. <<I have visual, it's heading into the treeline.>>
<Gara> Loren just keeps runnin.
<Tehpillowstar> Can Chloe see Greg?
<Strife> 6df+4 too old for this stuff
<Glacon> Strife: too old for this stuff: 6 (6df+4=0, +, -, +, +, 0)
<Roget> Yes, she can
<Gara> Can Loren?
<Strife> How is Hijack doing at seeing anyone?
<TheRaven> Shall we just say everyone meets up?
<Roget> lets
<Gara> Sure.

<Glacon> PresidentEvil: perception: 5 (6df+5=0, 0, 0, -, +, 0)
<Tehpillowstar> "Heading East. We'll have to be quick, or we might lose it  "
<Roget> There is a glow about 20 yards out, but it doesn't look circular anymore.
<PresidentEvil> "There!" Greg points. "In the treeline."
<TheRaven> "Crap, this better not be another one of those fire things."
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe takes a deep breath.
<PresidentEvil> "Don't give the glow ideas, Taggart."
<Tehpillowstar> "Should we approach?"
<Roget> The glowing seems to be drifting further out.
<PresidentEvil> "Stay low and don't get too close to it."
<PresidentEvil> "And hold your fire unless threatened, I'd rather not get barbecued again."
<PresidentEvil> Greg takes point, following the light into the treeline.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe follows after
<TheRaven> Taggart takes up the rear, being the guy with the scope and all.
<Gara> Loren is after Chloe.

<Roget> Loren, it looks to be walking away.
<Gara> "Leaving."
<Gara> "We /might/ want to follow."
<Tehpillowstar> "Lets go"
<PresidentEvil> "Stay low and try not to be noticed."
<Tehpillowstar> Sneaky sneak
<PresidentEvil> Greg advances, trying to stay out of sight.
<TheRaven> Taggart slips off to one side, flanking the shape.
<PresidentEvil> 6df+5 Greg can be a decent sneakyfuck when he wants to

<Roget> the being stops walking, and turns towards them
<Gara> Loren freezes.
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe freezes.
<Roget> It begins to walk back towards them, its blue hue turning violet as it approaches.
<Gara> "Nevermind. Lets just go."
<PresidentEvil> Greg sights his gun on it. "Oh, crap, not again..."
<Tehpillowstar> Chloe's hand goes to her machete.
<TheRaven> Taggart brings up his rifle, scoping out the form.
<Strife> Hijack pulls out his sidearm.
<Gara> Loren pulls the knife, ready to do stabs.
<Strife> ~maybe I shouldn'ta tagged along . . .~
<Roget> It looks to be a blue, naked male, shimmering in a violet particle cloud. Its face is obscured.
<TheRaven> <<Okay, that's weird.>>
<PresidentEvil> "Don't suppose we brought any diplomats..." Greg says, keeping the NG7 sighted on it while slowly backing up, about the same pace as the figure advances.
<Tehpillowstar> "Who are you?"
<Roget> It walks to about 10 feet of them, and stops.
<Roget> "Hector."

<Gara> "Father of what?"
<PresidentEvil> "I don't think he'd ask us if he know, Chloe."
<Roget> "He's going to take me."
<Gara> "No, he isn't. What is he?"
<PresidentEvil> <<Is he... talking about God?>> Greg mutters into his radio.
<Roget> The figure looks up, and begins to glow brighter

<PresidentEvil> <<Ah, fuck, I've got one on me!>>
<AgentFlowers> <<Agent MacDonald en route!>>
<TheRaven> <<Grab a fire extinguisher, Lily!>>
<AgentFlowers> Lily grabs her rifle and a fire extinguisher from the mess, and gets running to the treeline.
<Roget> she soon reaches the other poolboys, being pummeled by little violet humanoids
<Roget> Cloe manages to shake some off as Lily approaches

<TheRaven> "I've got a feeling I know what that father thing it was talking about was."
<Tehpillowstar> "Yeah?
<Gara> "Fine."
<PresidentEvil> Greg shoves his pistol into the holster. "Next time something asks if we're gods, we say yes."
<TheRaven> "I figure it might be that fireball we ran into last week."
<Strife> "Ow."
<AgentFlowers> "Haha, I don't tell you often enough how much I love you," Lily hugs Greg, laughing.
<Gara> "Greg, you are my favorite."
<Tehpillowstar> "Good enough for me. " she brushes off the snow and winces at the pain.
<PresidentEvil> Greg puts an arm around Lily, grinning. "See? I told you there's a reason you keep me around."
<Tehpillowstar> "Lets go back"
<PresidentEvil> "You guys wanna head to rec?"
<Gara> "Sure."
<Strife> "I am going to bed."

<Tehpillowstar> "Sure, unless we get attacked again."
<Gara> "And then Taggart mentioned wanting to tie Lily down."
<Gara> Loren grins wide.
<PresidentEvil> "Phrasing, boo- aww."
<AgentFlowers> "At least buy me dinner first."
<Tehpillowstar> "...I don't understand..."
<TheRaven> "...shaddup, Loren." He grins.
<Gara> "Uh huh. It was all that lap sitting, wasn't it."
<Tehpillowstar> "I still have chocolate left. " Chloe lets out a small smile
<PresidentEvil> The group makes it to the Rec, and as they head inside they see... is that...
<AgentFlowers> "A TEEVEE?"
<PresidentEvil> Yes, Lily. Sitting on a card table in the corner. The gaudy '90s fake wood panelling, the rabbit ear antenna, the built in VHS player...
