  1. PREVIOUSLY! BEFORE I STARTED LOGGING THIS STUFF!
  2. RUBY FOUND THE LOCATION OF AN ACADEMY RESEARCH FACILITY RUMORED TO BE LOOKING INTO ANTIMATTER WEAPONRY
  3. SHE WENT THERE AND MET A BIG KINDLY ROBOT AND PRETENDED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE STELLAR CHURCH TO GAIN ENTRY
  4. SHE TRICKED MOST OF THE STAFF OF THE FACILITY INTO ATTENDING A SERMON AND SOCIAL-FU'D THEM INTO BEING BETTER PEOPLE AND ADORING HER
  5. THIS DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH FACILITY'S ACTUAL LEADER, AN ACADEMY PROVOST, WITH PSYCHIC POWERS, SPECIAL ARMOR, AND FOUR METAL TENTACLES, DOC OCK STYLE. TRICARI SHOWED UP AND THERE WAS A FIGHT!
  6. AND NOW! THE CONCLUSION!
  7.  
  8. NeonProdigy
  9. Provost: *grinds her teeth... then lets out a soft breath through her nose... and mimics Ruby's ready pose, Psi Blade held at her side in an iaido style, her neural equipment humming with effort. Tricari's attack seems to be her signal to move, the psionic energy surging and crackling from her blade as she draws it, cutting waves of energy slicing at both Ruby and Tricari, as if she'd...
  10. 19:25 NeonProdigy ...appeared before them and sliced at them at rapid speed, despite not moving, psychic pressure increasing around her enough to make some of the new Zealots in the crowd without the mental defenses fall to the floor, as if knocked down by a heavy force*
  11. 19:38
  12. Tricari_Nai throws up her claws, the sudden surprise attack forcing her back as residual cutting energy slices into her body, drawing blood as her mind strains to keep up with the pressure bearing down on her mind.
  13. 19:41
  14. Ruby_Scourgebringer rushes forward, meeting the Provost's attack with her own, eyes shining gold as she clashes with the Psi Blade. She flashes through to the Provost's far side, and clicks Heartflame home.
  15. 20:04 NeonProdigy Provost: *has to let up on her psychic pressure as Ruby, dodging quickly, the nigh-invisible slash just barely slicing open her skintight suit just across the chest*
  16. Nichos
  17. Ruby: *keeps up the pressure on the Provost, blurred strikes with unerring precision lashing out at the psion with unrelenting fury and grace, a wide, manic grin on her face* Come on, don't slow down yet! We've only just started!
  18. 21:32 NeonProdigy Provost: *dodges and weaves around the strikes, almost always at just the last second, leaving her bodysuit to gain more cuts and tears* Who said I was slowing down? *she lashes out suddenly with one of her remaining 3 tentacles, psionic equipment glowing once more as to the eyes of everyone watching, it seems as though there's dozens of them all trying to grab or claw at Ruby, the Eye...
  19. 21:32 NeonProdigy ...unable to keep track of which is the Real one*
  20. 21:40
  21. Tricari_Nai pushes her smoke outwards, trying to wreathe the provost in a thing cloud of it while she's busy focusing on Ruby
  22. 21:50 Tricari_Nai *thin
  23. 21:51 Nichos Ruby: *grins and girds her strike, waiting carefully as Tricari cloys and clogs the air, her own supernal vision unobstructed. She cuts in the blink of an eye, aiming to take out another mechanical tendril.and deprive her opponent of more options*

  29. [2017-03-26 21:14:48] * NeonProdigy The severed end of the tentacle that Ruby just sliced through goes end over end through the air as Tricari's smoke fills the air. The Provost has no trouble seeing Ruby, thermal vision and psionic senses aiding her, but she can't help but start coughing and choking a bit, a hand covering her mouth as she tries to recover from the loss of another tentacle. She needs breathing room- and not...
  30. [2017-03-26 21:14:48] * NeonProdigy .../just/ because she's choking. She stays back from Ruby and her remaining two mechadendrite tentacles fire laser beams at the Exalt, cutting through the smoke*
  31. [2017-03-26 21:18:09] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She flinches and hisses at the beams cutting through the smoke, but, after a few moments, something changes, her smoke retracts, but the Provost's injuries have started to feel like there's something...
  32. [2017-03-26 21:18:48] <Tom_Atlus> *grainy, inside them. Tricari falls to one knee, holding her now burned side with a growl of pain, the injury already cauterized but still looking like she took a good amount of damage
  33. [2017-03-26 21:24:39] <Nichos> Ruby: *twists to the side, letting one beam pass her by as she deflects the other, parrying it into the ceiling. She lets the Provost back away, and holds a hand up and curls it into a fist in focus, body coming alive with essence as her anima erupts into true view, golden sunlight blazing around her in a shining aura*
  34. [2017-03-26 21:29:44] <NeonProdigy> Provost: Kh! *she looks down at the cuts and scraps she's gotten over the course of the battle, unheeding of what she sees as Ruby's little Light Show*
  35. [2017-03-26 21:40:31] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *Through the pain, despite looking quite messed up, she points at the Provost*
  36. [2017-03-26 21:40:42] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> /Drop your weapons and back away now/
  37. [2017-03-26 21:40:55] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> /You've lost/
  38. [2017-03-26 21:41:36] * Tom_Atlus ** She says with all the confidence and vigor of a person holding a gun to someone's head, eyes lit up with a much calmer fury than she displayed before.
  39. [2017-03-26 21:42:59] <NeonProdigy> Provost: *is skeptical of this, but..... she has to be sure. Her psi equipment glows again, as she prods at Tricari's mind, trying to see if she's bluffing or not, tentacle focused on Ruby and Tricari both, ready to fire again on them if needed*
  40. [2017-03-26 21:44:11] * Tom_Atlus ** It would depend on if she could bust past the defenses the charm she was wearing from Sheolcraft and the defenses the Living Word gave to her, but if she was successful... She'd see that Tricari was very much not bluffing.
  41. [2017-03-26 21:44:33] * NeonProdigy Thank you for reminding me of those actually!
  42. [2017-03-26 21:45:45] * Tom_Atlus ** No prob, I almost forgot about those too :V
  43. [2017-03-26 21:46:02] <NeonProdigy> Provost: *cries out and falls to one knee as her psychic assault rebounds on the magical defenses Tricari has gained, clutching at her head with one hand and breathing heavily* ...D-Dammit... *she grits her teeth, her psionic blade disappearing as her mental faculties are focused elsewhere*
  44. [2017-03-26 21:47:20] <Nichos> Ruby: *leaps into action, catching the Provost and quickly binding up the woman's arms. Forcing her face-first into the floor, she pins the esper in place and slams a sandaled foot down on the metal tendrils*
  45. [2017-03-26 21:49:24] <NeonProdigy> Provost: *is indeed sent to the floor, but only long enough for Ruby to get hit with the Cyberdisc that had been coming to pick her up :V *
  46. [2017-03-26 21:49:47] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Tch-!
  47. [2017-03-26 21:50:17] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She dashes to intercept, limping from the injury as she attempts to cover Ruby, laying down fire on the cyberdisc as she tries to rush over*
  48. [2017-03-26 21:50:17] * Nichos Okay when you say "get hit with" ... :p
  49. [2017-03-26 21:50:31] <Tom_Atlus> ((Don't ask me why but I was picturing a full ram))
  50. [2017-03-26 21:50:46] <NeonProdigy> ((Then you were picturing... /correctly/ :P ))
  51. [2017-03-26 21:51:39] * NeonProdigy Ruby gets a floating tank-sized metal disc of plasma death crashing into her, yes :V
  52. [2017-03-26 21:52:50] <Nichos> Ruby: *oh well then good thing she put up Diamond-Body Prana literally her last action. She holds her ground as the robo-frisbee slams into her with a sound not unlike a hammer striking an anvil :V*
  53. [2017-03-26 21:53:19] <NeonProdigy> Provost: Heh...
  54. [2017-03-26 21:53:32] <NeonProdigy> Provost: *then fires her lasers... at the Cyberdisc*
  55. [2017-03-26 21:53:55] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ?!
  56. [2017-03-26 21:57:11] * NeonProdigy The cyberdisc spins around, stops... and as its carefully balanced, incredibly sensitive plasma drive is put under too much stress from the damage from the lasers, it explodes violently, blowing out the windows in the room, sending anyone nearby to the ground- if not shredding them with shrapnel, and obliterating the stage entirely, as the Provost barely outruns the explosion, hopping onto...
  57. [2017-03-26 21:57:11] * NeonProdigy ...one of the smaller Drones to aid her escape as the rest of the Academy Loyal Espers and Medics flee with their leader
  58. [2017-03-26 21:58:39] <Nichos> Ruby: HYAH!
  59. [2017-03-26 21:59:47] <Nichos> Ruby: *turns and swings Heartflame /through/ the explosion, turning it back on itself and protecting her and the assembled crowd from it in a flash of blinding gold*
  60. [2017-03-26 22:01:20] * NeonProdigy Ruby saves her new converts from any casualties, then, earning her more of their love and devotion :P
  61. [2017-03-26 22:02:16] * Tom_Atlus ** ... As the explosion detonates, sudden *popping microexplosions* go off in some of the Provost's wounds. It likely wasn't enough to completely kill her, but to say the least it would probably hurt like a *bitch*
  62. [2017-03-26 22:03:56] <NeonProdigy> Provost: *can worry about that while she's escaping with the Trade Guild representative she was meeting with before Ruby showed up on the Guild ship, along with her few loyal staff and the Power Armored Guards and numerous workers that were still loading/unloading the ship*
  63. [2017-03-26 22:05:25] <Nichos> Ruby: *stands up straight, sheathing Heartflame slowly as she watches the Provost and her remaining men flee* ...
  64. [2017-03-26 22:05:53] <NeonProdigy> Provost: *does curse Tricari and Ruby though, for what that's worth. Boy, if you two thought you were gonna be unpopular with the Academy /before.../ *
  65. [2017-03-26 22:06:37] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *she remains kneeling, hand clenched into a fist and held out like she was trying to trigger something, cursing quietly under her breath*
  66. [2017-03-26 22:08:58] <Nichos> Ruby: *draws that Bolter she's had with her this whole time, lines up a shot, and fires*
  67. [2017-03-26 22:22:59] * NeonProdigy The Provost is now a red mist.
  68. [2017-03-26 22:23:37] <Nichos> Ruby: Effective.
  69. [2017-03-26 22:24:28] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... Surprising, also. o_o
  70. [2017-03-26 22:25:30] <Nichos> Ruby: *holsters the bolter and turns to face her new converts*
  71. [2017-03-26 22:27:44] * NeonProdigy A hush has fallen over the crowd- those that hadn't been converted having legged it already. Some look scared at this new development, some look in awe at Ruby, most probably are feeling a mixture of emotions. The Drones, Cyberdiscs, and Espers did leave /some/ people wounded during the fighting as Ruby and Tricari fought the Provost, but everyone's still alive and the Medic Converts have...
  72. [2017-03-26 22:27:44] * NeonProdigy ...already started working on the injured.
  73. [2017-03-26 22:29:35] <Nichos> Ruby: Who here is proficient in the operation of computers?
  74. [2017-03-26 22:30:11] * NeonProdigy There's some shuffling. One of the lab coated researches raises a hand
  75. [2017-03-26 22:30:57] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: Erm... /all/ of us, your grace? Maybe some of the Security Staff might be a bit less computer literate-
  76. [2017-03-26 22:31:04] <NeonProdigy> Mustached Guard: Hey!
  77. [2017-03-26 22:31:27] <Nichos> Ruby: I do not care. Bring one here. Miss Tricari, do you still have the data from our previous visit?
  78. [2017-03-26 22:31:29] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: But even the worst of us could still operate one o_o
  79. [2017-03-26 22:32:32] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: *apparently now The Woman On The Spot, looks around, sees everyone else looking at her, and sighs* I've got my Personal Computer on me... *she heads up*
  80. [2017-03-26 22:33:00] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Yes, carried copy with me. *she says, holding up the usb drive she's been using for data collection and looking to Ruby* Should I give it to her?
  81. [2017-03-26 22:33:31] <Nichos> Ruby: I think we should show them why exactly we have come here, do you not agree?
  82. [2017-03-26 22:35:35] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She hesitates for a moment, before passing it to the Researcher*
  83. [2017-03-26 22:39:10] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: *pulls a handheld computer from the pocket of her labcoat and plugs the USB drive in* Let's see here... huh, looks like the data from a smaller facility... ahhhh, yeah, definitely one... let's see there's a few Gecko organ harvests, some rather fatal failures at repressing the Cenaiyan chameleon gene, lots of dead subjects, lots of "mandatory volunteers"...
  84. [2017-03-26 22:40:07] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Brutality, in other words '^'
  85. [2017-03-26 22:41:54] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: It's *she shrugs* How the Academy operates. *if you were expecting this news to shock the people here, I'm sorry to disappoint you*
  86. [2017-03-26 22:42:26] <Nichos> Ruby: So it is.
  87. [2017-03-26 22:42:39] <Nichos> Ruby: And here is where it ends.
  88. [2017-03-26 22:43:36] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She sighs quietly in disappointment. Not shock, really, but... at the very least with Ruby here now she has an ability to get through to them, hopefully*
  89. [2017-03-26 22:48:10] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: *somehow feels ashamed of how she doesn't really mind reading about the torture and deaths of mutants... for something to do, she keeps looking through the data, then gasps*
  90. [2017-03-26 22:49:44] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Hm? Did you find something of note? '^'
  91. [2017-03-26 22:55:51] <NeonProdigy> Reseracher: Erm, nothing like what you were more interested in, it's just... *she blushes a little* you seem to have grabbed someone HoloVidz account data too, and I'd been meaning to catch up on The Great Australian Death Races '^'
  92. [2017-03-26 22:56:58] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She stares for a few moments. What. Those are things? How did she- Oh fuck it. She just shrugs*
  93. [2017-03-26 22:57:02] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Enjoy it, then. '^'
  94. [2017-03-26 22:58:33] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: Ah, thank you! *u*
  95. [2017-03-26 22:58:53] * NeonProdigy There's some murmuring in the crowd. Apparently it's a good show. :V
  96. [2017-03-26 23:00:06] <Nichos> Ruby: *slams her foot into the floor, creating a resounding clack*
  97. [2017-03-26 23:00:34] * NeonProdigy The murmuring stops and all is silent
  98. [2017-03-26 23:02:15] <Nichos> Ruby: I would like to ask something of everyone here. "Why?"
  99. [2017-03-26 23:02:38] <Nichos> Ruby: Why do you work in a place like this, perform the research you perform? What does it benefit you?
  100. [2017-03-26 23:11:14] * NeonProdigy The answers are quite varied. They range from "The money's good and my wife and daughters get to have clean food, water and air back in the city because of it" / "For SCIENCE" / "Better to be the one operating than the one on the table..." / "I kept hearing everyone's thoughts and they gave me the psi training to block it out" and so on
  101. [2017-03-26 23:20:16] <Nichos> Ruby: *nods as she listens. She singles out the one who'd mentioned operating tables, beckoning them forward*
  102. [2017-03-26 23:30:26] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She watches them approach, staring at them with a tentative gaze*

  109. [2017-03-27 12:48:51] * NeonProdigy The person in question another one of the Researchers, timidly approaches
  110. [2017-03-27 12:50:03] <Nichos> Ruby: Hello. Please, tell me your name
  111. [2017-03-27 12:58:03] <NeonProdigy> Researcher: Erm... Dr. Milja Koivu, your Grace...
  112. [2017-03-27 12:58:47] <Nichos> Ruby: I see, thank you. Tell me, are you proud of what you have done?
  113. [2017-03-27 13:01:32] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Proud? Um... w-well I /do/ quite enjoy the work we've been doing with excavating the so called "Iron Dolls" we found in the ruins we found beneath this facility...
  114. [2017-03-27 13:01:55] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: And, ah, re-activating them '^'
  115. [2017-03-27 13:04:20] <Nichos> Ruby: *blinks* Ruins?
  116. [2017-03-27 13:04:32] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Oh, did you not know?
  117. [2017-03-27 13:07:23] <Nichos> Ruby: *holds up a finger* We will come back to that.
  118. [2017-03-27 13:09:21] <Nichos> Ruby: This is a world in the wake of devastation and ruin. We all know it, yes?
  119. [2017-03-27 13:09:50] <Nichos> Ruby: I am sure many of you see what the Academy does as necessary in order to reclaim civilization from the wilds
  120. [2017-03-27 13:10:22] * NeonProdigy There are some agreements with the statement. Dr. Koivu, who knows a dressing down when she hears one, says nothing and rubs her arm, awkwardly.
  121. [2017-03-27 13:12:10] <Nichos> Ruby: I ask you this, does that feel right? Does it settle your soul, knowing that things like /this/, *she motions to the computer* are what must be done to rise from the ashes?
  122. [2017-03-27 13:13:14] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Ask self, what will others think, in future, when things are "normal" again, of what was done?
  123. [2017-03-27 13:14:22] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Becomes a question of legacy, unity, and co-existence. '^'
  124. [2017-03-27 13:14:37] <NeonProdigy> Anonymous voice from somewhere in the crowd: "How's humanity supposed to rise back up with all these mutants running around??"
  125. [2017-03-27 13:14:38] <NeonProdigy> An almost immediate retort: "Humanity was horrible to begin with, only through with faith in the Departed Gods will we come back into their good graces!"
  126. [2017-03-27 13:14:52] <NeonProdigy> Another voice: "They were alien invaders and you know it!"
  127. [2017-03-27 13:14:57] * NeonProdigy The yelling begins
  128. [2017-03-27 13:15:11] <Nichos> Ruby: *slams her foot into the floor again*
  129. [2017-03-27 13:15:16] * NeonProdigy Silence
  130. [2017-03-27 13:15:29] <Nichos> Ruby: /I did not ask any of you that question/.
  131. [2017-03-27 13:17:17] <Nichos> Ruby: Now, do not make me repeat myself.
  132. [2017-03-27 13:22:35] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: *clears her throat* Erm. Your Grace it's... well, the issue is one of, well, the weighing of humanity re-gaining dominance over the planet or co-habitating with the mutants and hybrids that have arisen since the arrival of Extraterrestrials and the Great War that followed... The Three major self-governing agencies, the Academy, the Guild, and the Church, are all built around...
  133. [2017-03-27 13:22:35] <NeonProdigy> ...humanity denouncing all but the Alva, who are in contact with those groups. The Academy studies non-humans, often finding out what of value can be taken from them, the Guild will sell anything taken from them and enslave them for cheap labor, and the Church denounces them and tells the masses they are, ah, abominations keeping us from pleasing the so called "Stellar Gods". And all three...
  134. [2017-03-27 13:22:36] <NeonProdigy> ...routinely take part in... well, culling the numbers, so to speak...
  135. [2017-03-27 13:26:21] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She exhales slowly through her nose. Lovely, two other agencies to go to war with then.*
  136. [2017-03-27 13:31:50] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She looks up to Ruby, asking permission to speak with her gaze considering the Solar seems to have the floor*
  137. [2017-03-27 13:32:20] <Nichos> Ruby: *seemed to be gearing up for her own words, but she motions for Tricari to step forward*
  138. [2017-03-27 13:33:08] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She steps up next, staring out into the crowd*
  139. [2017-03-27 13:35:31] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> You call them mutants, hybrids, products of the extraterrestrials and the Great War, but mutants of /what/ ? History, not my strongest forte, but aren't at least some mutants of humans? And despite that, does that somehow make them not "people" now?
  140. [2017-03-27 13:36:07] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> More importantly, do you think they asked to be made this way, to be treated like chattel and experiments?
  141. [2017-03-27 13:38:15] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She gestures to Ruby, once again giving her the floor* And now, one who embodies the power of sun /itself/ stands before you now speaking of another way.
  142. [2017-03-27 13:43:40] <Nichos> Ruby: I will speak plainly. Before you stands a divine being, imbued with power beyond mortal reckoning. Do you doubt this?
  143. [2017-03-27 13:44:57] <Nichos> Ruby: *is, it should be noted, still glowing all Super Saiyan :V*
  144. [2017-03-27 13:46:02] * NeonProdigy There's a quiet moment, before people start to admit that, yeah, she seems pretty damn divine and the Espers frankly have been pretty much awestruck by her this whole time and not participating in the arguing earlier :P
  145. [2017-03-27 13:46:55] <Nichos> Ruby: Then allow me to speak on the matter of souls.
  146. [2017-03-27 13:48:22] <Nichos> Ruby: All of humanity, of course, carries a soul, defining each and every aspect of one's being.
  147. [2017-03-27 13:48:56] <Nichos> Ruby: And so too do all things descended from humanity, in no way differing in a meaningful fashion from your own.
  148. [2017-03-27 13:52:00] <Nichos> Ruby: From the standpoint I carry, when you lay a mutant out on an operating table, when you enact genocide on a hybrid settlement...
  149. [2017-03-27 13:52:14] <Nichos> Ruby: *shakes her head* There is no difference, in my eyes, from doing so to your own kin.
  150. [2017-03-27 13:55:45] * NeonProdigy There is much shuffling of feet and embarrassed looks
  151. [2017-03-27 13:56:26] <Nichos> Ruby: *stomps her foot again* So I ask of you one more time, is that /right/?!
  152. [2017-03-27 14:04:25] * NeonProdigy While there are some mutterings of No's and such, there's a chorus of much louder, and passionate "It is wrong!"s from those hit hardest by Ruby's Charisma
  153. [2017-03-27 14:05:25] <Nichos> Ruby: /Good/.
  154. [2017-03-27 14:06:20] <Nichos> Ruby: I will see to it that mankind is turned back to righteousness, with all those whose souls they share. Will you stand with me?
  155. [2017-03-27 14:06:58] * NeonProdigy This time, the agreement is more confident, louder, more powerful
  156. [2017-03-27 14:08:03] <Nichos> Ruby: /Where villainy, selfishness, and ignorance thrive, will you strike it down and raise justice and enlightenment in its place/?
  157. [2017-03-27 14:08:36] * NeonProdigy "YES!!"
  158. [2017-03-27 14:10:01] <Nichos> Ruby: *smiles* Then mark this day. It is when a light of hope in the darkness of this world began to shine.
  159. [2017-03-27 14:10:42] * NeonProdigy Cheers fill the lecture room
  160. [2017-03-27 14:12:19] <Nichos> Ruby: *lets them cheer for a good bit, then stamps her foot once more. It is not a remonstrative sound, but it does demand attention*
  161. [2017-03-27 14:13:03] * NeonProdigy The cheering quiets. That's a terribly effective method of gaining people's attention, Ruby. If only J were here to shine a light behind you :P
  162. [2017-03-27 14:13:25] <Nichos> Ruby: *it's fine, she has her own backlighting ;V*
  163. [2017-03-27 14:13:35] * NeonProdigy That's true :P
  164. [2017-03-27 14:14:35] <Nichos> Ruby: There is much work to be done, and I must ask much of you for it. But know that you will be fighting and working towards righteousness, and that you have my most sincere appreciation and thanks for it.
  165. [2017-03-27 14:15:07] <Nichos> Ruby: *sweeps her hand out to the security team* Do everything you can to secure this facility. I do not imagine my seizing i will go unanswered.
  166. [2017-03-27 14:15:14] <Nichos> *it will
  167. [2017-03-27 14:19:01] * NeonProdigy The carapace armor clad men, and the Trade Guild guards in their power armor, all nod and present arms. Sadly, most of it is mundane, ballistic weaponry, but some of the Guild Guards have laser weapons.
  168. [2017-03-27 14:20:24] <Nichos> Ruby: *nods. There would be chances to better arm them, she was certain*
  169. [2017-03-27 14:20:38] <Nichos> Ruby: *looks to Dr. Kovu* Now. Tell me of these ruins.
  170. [2017-03-27 14:20:47] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Will want full inventory check of armaments, basic living supplies, ammunition, other such things as well '^'
  171. [2017-03-27 14:21:40] * NeonProdigy Some of the researchers let Tricari know they'll begin taking inventory and get her a complete breakdown of everything in a few hours
  172. [2017-03-27 14:22:36] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She gives the researchers a nod and turns her attention to Kovu as well to learn more about the ruins as well*
  173. [2017-03-27 14:22:40] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Ah yes. We were interested in this site for the buildings that had remained through the centuries, but some exploration of the building across from this one showed a concealed access lift leading into a sort of military base...
  174. [2017-03-27 14:24:40] <Nichos> Ruby: And what did you find within?
  175. [2017-03-27 14:26:47] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: At first we were more interested in some rumors of antimatter weaponry that we found out was being worked on near the end of the war, but alas it seems that the researchers there hadn't gotten very far with it before deciding it was too costly. It /seems/ though, that at some point they wanted to replace the humans going out to die to combat the Stellar Gods with mechanical...
  176. [2017-03-27 14:26:47] <NeonProdigy> ...soldiers, due to massive losses of life during operations. Most of it is still buried but there's an entire factory down there, along with some pretty advanced lab equipment, a multi-story hangar system, some impressive defense systems, and a nice store of Gold Wyrvium collected from the Gods they fought that the Provost was discussing selling to the Trade Guild earlier before... *she...
  177. [2017-03-27 14:26:47] <NeonProdigy> ...can't help but glance at the rather messy remains of the Provost* ...your arrival.
  178. [2017-03-27 14:27:49] <Nichos> Ruby: *evenly* Yes, I believe that deal has fallen through.
  179. [2017-03-27 14:28:20] <Nichos> Ruby: *looks at Tricari* Do you know of anything we have access to that can aid in excavation?
  180. [2017-03-27 14:30:59] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: We've been thinking of using the Iron Puppets themselves- or the less advanced ones anyway- to start clearing the facility out, but we /could/ possibly contact the Chizith... they're good at digging, but it would be expensive
  181. [2017-03-27 14:31:15] <NeonProdigy> *Iron Dolls, damn
  182. [2017-03-27 14:32:35] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Will ask back home, need to check with others, might have options we can bring, but local options might be more consistent and better. Would recommend at least getting quote from Chizith. '^'
  183. [2017-03-27 14:33:02] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Would you... like to take a look at the ruins?
  184. [2017-03-27 14:33:55] <Nichos> Ruby: Yes. Show me.
  185. [2017-03-27 14:35:02] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Right, follow me! We'll have to pick up the Guard first... *she starts heading back towards the entrance of the facility*
  186. [2017-03-27 14:35:55] <Nichos> Ruby: Very good. *she follows the doctor*
  187. [2017-03-27 14:36:18] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She decides to follow, for the moment*
  188. [2017-03-27 14:38:20] * NeonProdigy Outside, the Guild Ship has left, taking it with it anyone that didn't fall for Ruby and her speechifying before. The doctor heads for the entrance and taps the robot guard Ruby talked to before, eight feet tall and very bulky, made out of basic shapes and with a round, simple head with two glowing eyes and covered in rust
  189. [2017-03-27 14:41:41] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: M-54? *the machine ignores her, happily humming a childish song to itself in its childish voice* ...Morty?
  190. [2017-03-27 14:42:34] <NeonProdigy> Morty: Oh! Hello Dr. Koivu! Ah, and our visitor! I hope you've had a pleasant stay so far, Miss! *it says to Ruby, the metal 'eyelids' on its eyes moving to form shapes* ^ ^
  191. [2017-03-27 14:43:15] <Nichos> Ruby: Very much so, in fact. I must tell you that the Provost has... resigned from her post, and I am now in charge of this facility.
  192. [2017-03-27 14:43:29] <NeonProdigy> Morty: Oh wow! O O
  193. [2017-03-27 14:44:05] <NeonProdigy> Morty: Congratulations on your promotion, ma'am! *it gives her a salute* I shall faithfully continue to do my best for you as well! \ /
  194. [2017-03-27 14:44:31] <Nichos> Ruby: I am certain you will. *she pats it on the arm*
  195. [2017-03-27 14:44:58] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> (Oddly cute) '^'
  196. [2017-03-27 14:45:31] <NeonProdigy> Morty: *makes pleased whirring noises somewhere in its body, then turns to Tricari* Hello there miss! I don't remember you coming in... oh! Did you come in on the ship! o o
  197. [2017-03-27 14:51:45] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... *With a voice so sincere that to question it would be deeply insulting:* Yes. '^'
  198. [2017-03-27 14:52:21] <NeonProdigy> Morty: Awesome! Well welcome to you as well! *it holds out a claw, classic pincher style, for a handshake* ^ ^
  199. [2017-03-27 14:52:53] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She readily accepts*
  200. [2017-03-27 14:53:28] <NeonProdigy> Morty: *'s joints move loudly as it shakes her hand up and down*
  201. [2017-03-27 14:53:50] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Ah, and since Miss Ruby is now in charge, she wanted to see the base, Morty...
  202. [2017-03-27 14:55:24] <NeonProdigy> Morty: Oh! Of course, of course! I can take you right now! *it stomps along to the back of the building pointed out earlier, where there's large shutters like a loading dock, and easily opens one of the shuttered openings. Not far beyond inside the massive loading area within the building is a lift built into the floor*
  203. [2017-03-27 14:56:20] <Nichos> Ruby: Thank you, Mr. Morty *she heads for the lift*
  204. [2017-03-27 14:56:25] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: We originally had to go down with ropes and spelunking gear, but using one of the dolls lets us use the lift itself, even though there's minimal power in the facility. One of the first things we'd need to do is set up a Power Station, once there's enough room cleared out.
  205. [2017-03-27 14:57:33] <Nichos> Ruby: How much space will that require?
  206. [2017-03-27 14:58:48] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She heads for the lift as well, rubbing her chin. Maybe she could ask... No, that'd take a lot of gear moving...*
  207. [2017-03-27 14:59:50] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Not /too/ much. It seems they made a modular grid of "rooms" down there, but we don't have to /stick/ to it... the main issue will be maintenance, and of course time and cost to clear out the room. It seems like a lot of the rooms that /were/ there have collapsed, so anything we clear might well already have things in it...
  208. [2017-03-27 15:00:26] <NeonProdigy> Morty: *grabs hold of a winch and starts using his claw to manually turn it, the claw spinning rapidly as the lift shudders and jerks, before starting to lower quite quickly and more smoothly*
  209. [2017-03-27 15:01:12] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... Question, about Chizith being used for digging.
  210. [2017-03-27 15:01:21] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Yes?
  211. [2017-03-27 15:01:22] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> What would we, normally, pay them with?
  212. [2017-03-27 15:03:37] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Credit chips are always good, but food and other resources are also typically acceptable. We would need a lot of that though, for this sort of payment.
  213. [2017-03-27 15:04:44] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Supplement payment with offers of medical treatment?
  214. [2017-03-27 15:05:14] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Ah... yes, Medical Supplies and treatments could be used for payment, certainly
  215. [2017-03-27 15:06:51] <Nichos> Ruby: Ah, I see where you are going with that, Miss Tricari.
  216. [2017-03-27 15:07:02] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> More than mutual exchange of funds and resources, providing healing for people helps with public image, as well.
  217. [2017-03-27 15:09:04] <Nichos> Ruby: An excellent idea. We will speak with Tom about this when we return.
  218. [2017-03-27 15:17:13] <NeonProdigy> ((And we'll do this more when Tom returns too :V ))
  219. [2017-03-27 15:17:49] <Nichos> ((LIke now? :V))
  220. [2017-03-27 15:18:59] <NeonProdigy> ((Yeah :V ))
  221. [2017-03-27 15:26:15] <Tom_Atlus> ((And now we'll do more when Neon returns :V)
  222. [2017-03-27 15:26:58] <NeonProdigy> ((Sorry, mom happened))
  223. [2017-03-27 15:29:17] <Nichos> ((S'all good, fam :V))
  224. [2017-03-27 15:29:19] <NeonProdigy> Morty: And here we are! *the lift had grown darker as they went down, before finally coming to a stop in near total darkness, metal shutters having closed off the top of the lift above. The robot moves though, and suddenly what turn out to be large metal doors on all four sides of the lift start moving up, revealing some temporary lights strung up along smooth, metal corridors... and also...
  225. [2017-03-27 15:29:19] <NeonProdigy> ...what appears to be a beautiful woman with short white hair in elegant, black, gothic lolita type wear and a black, smooth, visor* Oh hey G1298! *it waves its claw hand happily at her*
  226. [2017-03-27 15:29:58] <Nichos> Ruby: *raises an eyebrow*
  227. [2017-03-27 15:32:23] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Acknowledged, Unit M-54. Please identify guests. *now that Ruby and Tricari can get a better look at her, it's clear from her stiff movements and some light 'skin' abrasions she's definitely not human. Clearly she came well after Morty in the production line*
  228. [2017-03-27 15:32:59] <NeonProdigy> Morty: We've got Dr. Koivu, and Ruby who's in charge now, and Tricari! And it's Morty! ^ ^
  229. [2017-03-27 15:34:57] <NeonProdigy> G1298: *nods to Dr. Koivu* Welcome back, Doctor Milja Koivu. Unit M-54's statement will require clarification. Please state identities, "Guest Ruby," and "Guest Tricari".
  230. [2017-03-27 15:35:33] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She lets Ruby go first, cause her answer's gonna depend on Ruby's :V*
  231. [2017-03-27 15:38:03] <Nichos> Ruby: I am Ruby Hidden in the Sands. I have succeeded the Provost as director of this facility
  232. [2017-03-27 15:38:17] <Nichos> Ruby: (And also am the new god of the people here)
  233. [2017-03-27 15:40:08] <NeonProdigy> G1298: This facility does not recognize the existence of any deities, but understood: You are the present owner of the facility.
  234. [2017-03-27 15:41:05] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Tricari Nai, assistant. '^'
  235. [2017-03-27 15:42:34] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Confirmed: Ruby Hidden-in-the-Sands and Tricari Nai have been registered as facility personnel.
  236. [2017-03-27 15:43:10] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Yes, Director Ruby and her assistant would like to see the facility, G1298.
  237. [2017-03-27 15:44:10] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Beginning tour: Please follow me. *she turns neatly on one foot and begins walking down one of the four hallways branching out from the lift. Whoever designed her gave her quite the hip sway*
  238. [2017-03-27 15:47:04] <Nichos> Ruby: *follows the automaton, looking around the facility as she walks*
  239. [2017-03-27 15:49:48] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She follows along as well, arms folded over her chest*
  240. [2017-03-27 15:50:25] * NeonProdigy It seems only two ways were open from the main lift, the other two filled with dirt and rocks. The gynoid's first stop takes you to a deep vertical shaft, where you can see at least ten stacked off, mobile "shelves" on one side that look like landing platforms
  241. [2017-03-27 15:53:03] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> What are those shelves?
  242. [2017-03-27 15:53:07] <NeonProdigy> G1298: This is the primary hangar of the facility. Thanks to automated systems, up to ten air vehicles can be stored here and be supplied. At present, the only vessel berthed at this facility is a Skyranger Dropship. Unfortunately, the jet fuel required for its operation has long since been depleted. Our fuel stores will require replenishing. Likewise, the ship is unarmed, and no craft...
  243. [2017-03-27 15:53:07] <NeonProdigy> ...weapons are currently stored here.
  244. [2017-03-27 15:54:41] <Nichos> Ruby: Hmm...
  245. [2017-03-27 15:55:28] <NeonProdigy> G1298: The "shelves" allow multiple craft to access the hidden entrance above via the lift. I shall demonstrate. *she goes to a console, and far above, metal doors open, right where the Guild ship was before. There's loud mechanical noises, and the "shelf" with the dropship comes rolling out on a large track built into the sides, coming to a stop below the square of light overhead*
  246. [2017-03-27 15:55:54] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... /Hm/
  247. [2017-03-27 15:56:06] <Nichos> Ruby: /Well/.
  248. [2017-03-27 15:56:27] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Strange, such a method of deployment, slow, probably for specialized operations? How many other exits are available for vessels to leave from? Just the one?
  249. [2017-03-27 16:00:02] <NeonProdigy> G1298: At one point, this facility had three hangars scattered at the edges of the facility, but enemy invasion attempts prompted a strategy of limiting access to the facility to only the Access Lift and this Hangar. Moreover, due to the larger number of ship capacity the "shelving" system allowed, as one ship refueled and re-armed, another could be deployed, so the overall process was...
  250. [2017-03-27 16:00:02] <NeonProdigy> ...rather fast, in fact. Since the primary goal of the facility was to intercept and shoot down Invader ships, and our radar systems could track them easily, even the usual thirty minute preparation time for deployment was more than enough for successful interceptions.
  251. [2017-03-27 16:00:56] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... Dr. Koivu did you say /who/ this facility belonged to, originally?
  252. [2017-03-27 16:02:17] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: This was built during the war by an international organization that was attempting to fend off the extraterrestrial forces.
  253. [2017-03-27 16:06:21] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She glances to G1298, looking "her" over for a few moments* ... And you, were created by them in the war effort? What happened that caused the facility's collapse to this state?
  254. [2017-03-27 16:08:13] <Nichos> Ruby: Given the state of the world as a whole?
  255. [2017-03-27 16:08:19] <Nichos> Ruby: I would rather think they lost.
  256. [2017-03-27 16:10:57] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Correct. I am a General Purpose Unit, able to take command, fight, or oversee operations. I was produced one year before the end of the war as the only G-Series for this facility. And yes, Director Ruby is correct. A month before the end of the war, this facility was bombed and invaded by alien forces. Though the attackers /were/ eventually repelled by autonomous forces, the human...
  257. [2017-03-27 16:10:57] <NeonProdigy> ...personnel had all been killed. Due to the events of the war, no one from Command was sent to replace the human personnel, and the facility was forgotten for 607 years.
  258. [2017-03-27 16:14:27] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Have map data and historical logs already been collected yet? *She asks, glancing between the doctor and the android, putting her hands into her pockets and taking some time to think*
  259. [2017-03-27 16:15:09] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Would like to know what other facilities were available before this base fell, might be useful to rebuild as a forward base for /us/ , Ruby '^'
  260. [2017-03-27 16:15:23] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *she hopes her emphasis was clear enough to say who she's referring to specifically*
  261. [2017-03-27 16:16:28] <Nichos> Ruby: I tend to agree. But I want to see the rest of this facility first.
  262. [2017-03-27 16:17:42] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Mn '^'
  263. [2017-03-27 16:18:34] <NeonProdigy> G1298: The Data Cores and Command Center will be at the end of the tour. The information you're requesting will likely be there.

  302. [2017-03-27 18:10:20] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Erm... well, without access to the Trade Guild, getting access to those components will be difficult. The Black Market will be of use for some things, but, for example, to produce Gauss Coils for Guass weapons we'd need /large/ amounts of superconductive wire. It will be rather expensive.
  303. [2017-03-27 18:10:21] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Weapon production will be relatively simple once a steady supply of materials can be procured and a workforce employed. On that note, the usual workshop facilities used in other bases was replaced with a large-scale factory. At the moment, access to most of it is cut off, but once the factory is excavated, large scale production and manufacturing will be possible. With the equipment...

  396. [2017-03-27 20:33:55] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> A... "Wyrvan Synthesoid" crystal. '^'
  397. [2017-03-27 20:34:53] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: ... *adjusts her glasses and looks at the picture in the file Tricari pulled up* Oh! Yes, I remember that thing! The researchers in charge of examining it have done everything but shoot plasma fire at it trying to figure out what it does and what it's for...
  398. [2017-03-27 20:36:18] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Give it to us, we'll work out what to do with it '^'
  399. [2017-03-27 20:36:53] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She glances to Ruby* {... Cannot let her sit in testing facility, if we can help it, bring her back to ship, get her acclimated to current situation?}
  400. [2017-03-27 20:38:04] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: Sure thing. I'm sure Dr. Takeuchi will be glad to be rid of it.
  401. [2017-03-27 20:38:46] <Nic-mob> Ruby: {Do you have what you need to... activate her?}
  402. [2017-03-27 20:39:11] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> {Will work out from files, they said "energy sources", potentially mana will work best.}
  403. [2017-03-27 20:42:09] <Nic-mob> Ruby: {Make it happen.}
  404. [2017-03-27 20:43:24] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> {Will do.}
  405. [2017-03-27 20:44:52] <Nic-mob> Ruby: I also must be made aware of all the research the Academy was carrying out here
  406. [2017-03-27 20:45:32] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: I'll bring you the logs of that when I bring you the, ah, gem. Thing.
  407. [2017-03-27 20:46:01] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Very good
  408. [2017-03-27 20:48:55] <NeonProdigy> G1298: If I may make a recommendation?
  409. [2017-03-27 20:51:15] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Feel free?
  410. [2017-03-27 20:52:28] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *motions for her to speak*
  411. [2017-03-27 20:55:35] <NeonProdigy> G1298: This base formerly was hooked up to an external power system and emergency power supplies have been depleted over the past 6 centuries to the point of near failure. This room and the hangar are the only ones that can continue to be powered off of it. After the Refinery has been excavated, excavation of a new room for a Power Station would allow for additional operations. Such as use...
  412. [2017-03-27 20:55:35] <NeonProdigy> ...of the Access Lift without manual override via machine units. An additional recommendation is to activate either a S-Type or O-Type unit to operate the lift so that the M-Series may continue excavation without requiring them to use the lift.
  413. [2017-03-27 20:57:38] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Those, I want to see myself.
  414. [2017-03-27 20:58:21] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Mn, hard to make use of facilities without energy for them, how long until emergency supplies fail? '^'
  415. [2017-03-27 20:59:24] <NeonProdigy> G1298: On minimal power, an estimated 10 years remain for operations. At full possible power use for what is currently accessible? ...An estimated 6 months.
  416. [2017-03-27 21:00:32] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Were we to attempt to power the base entirely on this power, it would fail within one week. And currently, the emergency power supply cannot reach certain parts of the facility. This includes the access lift.
  417. [2017-03-27 21:02:33] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Would suggest we keep power as is, then, Ruby.
  418. [2017-03-27 21:03:18] <Nic-mob> Ruby: For now. I must agree that improving output will be a priority, however
  419. [2017-03-27 21:04:09] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Miss Tricari, you have obtained the records?
  420. [2017-03-27 21:05:45] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Yes, I have. Ready to move at any time '^'
  421. [2017-03-27 21:07:32] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Commander Ruby, did I understand you correctly that you wished to meet the Type S and Type O units before potentially activating them?
  422. [2017-03-27 21:09:04] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Correct. Please take me to them.
  423. [2017-03-27 21:09:49] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Understood. Will you be returning to this Command Center afterward or will you be leaving this facility?
  424. [2017-03-27 21:11:18] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> {I believe we should move back to the ship once we have the crystal, possibly bring one of the type letter units with us along with crystal person?}
  425. [2017-03-27 21:14:35] <Nic-mob> Ruby: I will be leaving most likely, for now.
  426. [2017-03-27 21:15:22] <Nic-mob> Ruby: There is a great deal to consider
  427. [2017-03-27 21:15:33] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Understood. Then I shall power down this room for the moment. *she shuts off the holographic display and leads you back to the barracks, then turns and heads into the storage vault*
  428. [2017-03-27 21:16:52] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *follows the General model, a ponderous look on her face*
  429. [2017-03-27 21:19:58] * NeonProdigy Within, you can indeed see a rather large pile of golden, glowing crystals, presumably the Gold Wyrvium, the stacks of sheets of Plastasteel, the Hovertank, currently on the floor since it's powered off, its saucerlike shape likely evoking the memory of the Cyberdiscs, and then finally four pods set against one wall. The humanoid machines within all seem to be following G1298's aesthetic of...
  430. [2017-03-27 21:19:58] * NeonProdigy ...lots of black, fancy outfits and are devastatingly attractive, in spite of the fact that their eyes are hidden. The Model Numbers are clearly indicated on the pods. Only the S-Type appears male, the two B-Types and the O-Type being female.
  431. [2017-03-27 21:23:39] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *doesn't think much of it, really. Automata are to her by definition strange :V*
  432. [2017-03-27 21:25:33] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... Strange choice, of gear. Person that designed had a flair for aesthetic?
  433. [2017-03-27 21:25:46] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Mm. The Battle type are self-evident, but please explain the other two more specifically
  434. [2017-03-27 21:31:40] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Yes. The phrase in our memory banks that he gave was "Why would I design a robot I wouldn't want to [expletive deleted]?" *she then walks over to the S and O types* S-Type units excel at scouting and information gathering, while O-Types are focused on tactics and coordination, often acting in support roles behind the scenes, typically here at base, acting as go-betweens for field...
  435. [2017-03-27 21:31:40] <NeonProdigy> ...operatives and Command.
  436. [2017-03-27 21:36:40] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Well then.
  437. [2017-03-27 21:37:17] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> ... >_>;
  438. [2017-03-27 21:37:25] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> S-strange, person. I imagine. '^'
  439. [2017-03-27 21:37:39] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *has a flash of memory of her dear sister designing that golden spirit assistant of hers...*
  440. [2017-03-27 21:37:46] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Perhaps not.
  441. [2017-03-27 21:39:43] <NeonProdigy> G1298: ...Confidentially, I am of the opinion that humans in general are a rather strange species. There is no need to design combat robots in miniskirts with large posteriors, and yet here we are. *she then cups her chin* Indeed, considering the information I have gathered on other species existing on the planet now thanks to both humans and the Invaders, and the obsession /all/ seem to...
  442. [2017-03-27 21:39:43] <NeonProdigy> ...have with reproduction and sexual stimulation, I would say it is not limited in any regard to only Humans.
  443. [2017-03-27 21:40:32] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *ahem* In any case
  444. [2017-03-27 21:41:25] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> We can, provide different uniforms, for the units then. At some point. Yes.
  445. [2017-03-27 21:42:23] <NeonProdigy> G1298: If you find it distracting, feel free, but we can operate quite well regardless and don't mind exposure of our bodies to view.
  446. [2017-03-27 21:46:53] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *arches an eyebrow* I rather think we have higher priorities for the use of our resources
  447. [2017-03-27 21:47:58] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Now then, activate both the O and S models. I will take the S model with us, and the O model can remain here to aid in reactivation efforts for the base
  448. [2017-03-27 21:49:20] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Indeed. Besides, apparently the clothing choices for us boosted morale. Actually sometimes the human personnel would play Dress Up with us and they rather enjoyed that... Very well, beginning activation of O161 and S284. *she begins beep-booping at the controls on the sides of the pods*
  449. [2017-03-27 21:51:00] <NeonProdigy> S284: *shudders to life first as his pod opens, then climbs out, shaking his head* Ngh... ah! G1298! *he salutes her* How long have I been out, ma'am?
  450. [2017-03-27 21:52:41] <NeonProdigy> G1298: Your sleep mode was activated 15 years after the loss of all human personnel in the base. It has been nearly 600 years, but the base is under new command and is being brought back into service.
  451. [2017-03-27 21:53:53] <NeonProdigy> S284: Ah... *he nods* So long... Oh! *he salutes Ruby and Tricari* You must be the new personnel? I am S284, pleased to be working with you!
  452. [2017-03-27 21:54:46] <NeonProdigy> O161: *activates afterward, yawning... then tries to turn over and go back to sleep* Ffffive more minutes...
  453. [2017-03-27 21:55:05] <NeonProdigy> S284: (...Uh oh...)
  454. [2017-03-27 21:55:10] <NeonProdigy> G1298: *frowns*
  455. [2017-03-27 21:55:57] <NeonProdigy> G1298: /Unit O161, cease Sleep Mode at once, you have duties to perform./
  456. [2017-03-27 21:56:10] <NeonProdigy> O161: Uwaah! *she falls out of her pod*
  457. [2017-03-27 21:56:47] <NeonProdigy> S284: *covers his face with one hand* (Oh geez...)
  458. [2017-03-27 21:57:32] <NeonProdigy> O161: *springs up, saluting* Operator Unit 161 online and ready, General!
  459. [2017-03-27 21:57:33] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Good to meet you both, all things being said '^'
  460. [2017-03-27 21:58:44] <NeonProdigy> O161: *'s salute falters at Tricari's words, looking back and forth between her and Ruby... then whispers to S284* (Oh my gosh are those the new humans they sent in finally? /Why are they so cute???/ )
  461. [2017-03-27 21:59:14] <NeonProdigy> G1298: /Ahem./
  462. [2017-03-27 21:59:35] <NeonProdigy> O161: *straightens up, saluting again* Sorry ma'am!!!
  463. [2017-03-27 22:00:24] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *stands before the pair, looking very regal and commandery*
  464. [2017-03-27 22:01:24] <NeonProdigy> O161: *gulps. Oh noooo why are they so /hoooooot/ *
  465. [2017-03-27 22:03:00] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *Has her hands in her pockets, looking a little more casual about the whole situation*
  466. [2017-03-27 22:04:03] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Operator and Scout units, /present/.
  467. [2017-03-27 22:04:50] <NeonProdigy> O161: *oh goodness, if she could stand any straighter she'd probably break something structurally important*
  468. [2017-03-27 22:05:10] <NeonProdigy> S284: *likewise presents himself, standing at attention*
  469. [2017-03-27 22:08:32] <Nic-mob> Ruby: I am Sunagakure no Rubi, the new Commander of this base.
  470. [2017-03-27 22:08:43] <Nic-mob> Ruby: This is my assistant, Tricari Nai
  471. [2017-03-27 22:09:50] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> *She flashes a peace sign*
  472. [2017-03-27 22:10:22] <NeonProdigy> O161: I-It's an honor, Commander Ruby, Assistant Nai! I look forward to servicing you- serving- working under- for........... Please make use of me as you will- ( /Oh my god why was I built to feel flustered????/ )
  473. [2017-03-27 22:12:38] <NeonProdigy> O161: M... My apologies, please disregard my earlier comments! I'm still recovering from inactivity, I hope I can be of use to you!! >/////<
  474. [2017-03-27 22:13:53] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *surveys the pair for a moment*
  475. [2017-03-27 22:14:31] * NeonProdigy Ruby feels, for a moment, as if S284 is studying her right back just as intently- not that she can prove it, given the visor blocking his eyes.
  476. [2017-03-27 22:16:11] <Nic-mob> Ruby: In the wake of the invasion, this world has fallen to ruin. I have made it my mission to drag it back to enlightenment. Can I count on the two of you to aid me in this?
  477. [2017-03-27 22:17:05] <NeonProdigy> S284: Well, our function /is/ the defense of the planet. So if there's nothing left /to/ defend and it's fallen to ruin, then the only logical thing to do would be to try and /fix/ it.
  478. [2017-03-27 22:17:20] <NeonProdigy> O161: Ah, yes! You can depend on us, Commander!
  479. [2017-03-27 22:17:57] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Will likely have to combat against other humans at some point, will this be problem? '^'
  480. [2017-03-27 22:19:08] <Nic-mob> Ruby: There are factions of humans that commit atrocity for their selfish gain, and must be brought to heel.
  481. [2017-03-27 22:21:33] <NeonProdigy> Dr. Koivu: I doubt it'll be a problem since those humans *she leaves out that she was included in that group until a little while ago* are in league with what the closest thing left to the invaders both genetically and in mindset.
  482. [2017-03-27 22:22:10] <NeonProdigy> G1298: In that case they are traitors to Humanity and its Ideals and shall be crushed. *she says simply*
  483. [2017-03-27 22:22:18] <NeonProdigy> O161: Yes ma'am!
  484. [2017-03-27 22:22:44] <NeonProdigy> S284: It won't be a problem, Assistant Nai.
  485. [2017-03-27 22:29:35] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Glad to hear you'll be sticking by our side then, at least '^'
  486. [2017-03-27 22:31:04] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Excellent. O161.
  487. [2017-03-27 22:31:31] <NeonProdigy> O161: Y-Yes ma'am??
  488. [2017-03-27 22:33:31] <Nic-mob> Ruby: You will remain here and assist with bringing this base back to full function. G1298 is already aware of my priorities.
  489. [2017-03-27 22:34:50] <NeonProdigy> O161: Understood!! I won't let you down!
  490. [2017-03-27 22:40:27] <Nic-mob> Ruby: I am sure. S284.
  491. [2017-03-27 22:40:42] <NeonProdigy> S284: Yes, Commander?
  492. [2017-03-27 22:41:28] <Nic-mob> Ruby: You will be joining Miss Tricari and myself off-base.
  493. [2017-03-27 22:42:44] <NeonProdigy> S284: I... see. Well, I /am/ a Survey unit, so that makes sense.
  494. [2017-03-27 22:43:20] <Tom_Atlus> <Tricari> Welcome to team '^'
  495. [2017-03-27 22:45:05] <Nic-mob> Ruby: Indeed. Are there any questions?
  496. [2017-03-27 22:46:28] <NeonProdigy> S284: Yes actually. Where is it off-base we'll be going?
  497. [2017-03-27 22:49:08] <Nic-mob> Ruby: *smiles* Off-world.
