In this pastebin: Lootan and shootan.
01[18:48] <~Awry> 6The street was filled with as much gunfire as air -- tracers lit the paths of the projectiles as they slammed into several bodies. One went into shock, a muscular man, dropping to his knees and hands, trying to breath as blood rapidly filled his shock and he realized he was going to die about twenty seconds before all went black for him. --
01[18:48] <~Awry> 6Another woman was blown backwards by the suppressive heavy machine gun fire, her armor bending and denting with every impact until finally it gave way. Staggering, she hit the ground on her back, immediately dead after a shell goes through her right eye and stains her white hair with undesirable color, her hand spasming with a --

01[18:50] <~Awry> 6new corpse's final deathly muscle twitches, abusing the trigger of the gun and firing crackling red-orange las shots into the vicinity of the nearby several crowds of people, wounding one or two civilians. There is a man with them, dressed in pearly carapace armor, who is knocked by a shot or two, but does not bow. He instead empties his rifle into the --
01[18:52] <~Awry> 6building's windows, where the gunfire was pouring from, and ducked behind a heavy, rectangular pillar. Bits of it were chipped off by the fusillade even as he glared around with a scowl on his face. "Kennelman! Get up! I disallow your death! Stand, in the name of the Emperor!" --
01[18:53] <~Awry> 6The man on the ground struggled, and slowly rose, but eventually fell gasping, and did not rise again. The man yelled Kennelman's name again, saw that he did not rise, and then glared around at the crowds surrounding him.
01[18:54] <~Awry> 6After a moment of scrutinizing his choices, the man bellows to the various people who had not run away during a break in the gunfire -- those were were taking cover, or cowering behind boxes at the sudden display of street violence.  "Step forth if you are brave enough to die in service to the Emperor!"
06[18:56] * Franco is definatly not tthat brave
06[18:57] * Nero steps forward. "I stand ready to do my duty."
06[18:57] * Kael looks at all of the odds and decides that he can run if this goes down, and quickly unslings his hunting rifle, running forward to the man's side, and crouching down there, as to be a small target. "Ready"
06[18:59] * Islope "Lets get them"
06[19:00] * Islope crack knuckles
06[19:01] * Kael also quickly scans around for cover he can jump behind if fire breaks out, choosing a few boxes that others hide behind aswell incase he has to jump in.
01[19:02] <~Awry> 6The man in armor looks at all three of those that have come to him, and nods. "Blessed are the loyal. But this is not enough." 6They stand in a wide alley or a small street. With habs on either side and the real exit to the city proper behind them, that left the small privately owned data-bank in front of them.
06[19:02] * Franco looks for a safe way to run away, where he won't have a change of getting shot
06[19:04] * Nero unslings his shotgun, ready to move.
[19:04] <CaptainCrunch> "I am definitely not brave enough to die in service of the Emperor..."  6A runtish bystander muttered from behind a particularly sturdy tower of box crates. The bag of miscellaneous tech components he had been carrying scattered on the floor around him in a fan-shape as he abandoned his recent purchases in favor of covering his soft, delicate head.
01[19:08] <~Awry> 6The man in armor sees and hears a couple of things -- one, the disavowal of courage from a young tech-priest standing nearby, two, he sees a rather scummy looking man try to make a break for it. Thankfully, there's only one way out, and the man reaches out and grabs Franco by the shoulder of his clothing as he tries to jet by. --
06[19:08] * Islope grunted a disapproval at the prior comment made by CC
06[19:09] * Franco wets himself slightly
01[19:10] <~Awry> "Would you rather I shoot you?" 6-- the man in armor asks. He is clearly not joking, as he places his hellgun against Franco's chest and the humm of a primed shot is heard. "Interrogator Kent, Ordo Hereticus, Imperial Inquisition! You are now under my command! Obey or die," 6he says - his ultimatum is punctuated by a crack, someone firing a --
01[19:11] <~Awry> 6sniper round and blowing another one of the inquisitor's former associates away.
06[19:12] * Nero raises an eyebrow. The Inquisition? Did he do something wrong?
06[19:12] * Kael quickly looks for where the sniper round came from, hoping to catch the tracer before it's gone.
[19:12] <Islope> *Take cover and whip of a pistrol
06[19:13] * Nero takes cover, at the sound of the sniper shot.
06[19:13] * Franco closes his eyes and shakes his head
06[19:14] * Kael catches it coming from the window, and quickly crouches down and leans back a bit, as Kael aims his rifle for as good of a shot as he can get against the assailant.
06[19:14] * Franco nods at the same time he shakes his head
06[19:15] * Franco hopes the man is deceived by his tactics
06[19:15] * Kael fires his shot, but misses, hitting a bit to the right, before making a small curse and jumping for cover
06[19:17] * Nero 's shotgun doesn't have the range to fire at the sniper. He hunkers down and waits for an order.
01[19:18] <~Awry> The man backhands Franco across the face. "Get ahold of yourself and draw your gun in the defense of the Imperium, cur!" The interrogator turns and points his rifle at the quivering tech-priest behind a box. "Tech-priest! The Inquisition demands your support! Supply it or be found wanting and be judged accordingly!" He yells over the gunfire or Kael firing back at the building.
06[19:19] * Franco does as he is told
06[19:21] * Kael loads one more bullet into his bolt action rifle quickly after jumping for cover and getting ready to peak out again for another shot.
06[19:21] * Islope decided not to take the risk with a pistol and took out the shotgun as he waits for order
[19:23] <CaptainCrunch> "The Inquisition has my full support, boss!" 6The Tech Priest called nervously from behind his boxy blockade. He pulled out a chipped charge pack from his back pocket and randomly thumbed his fingers against the surface, pretending it was a remote of some sort. 1"Beep-boop, beep-boop. Supporting you from a safe distance, sir!"
06[19:25] * Franco takes cover and fires a few random shots in the general direction of where he thinks the bad guys might be
01[19:27] <~Awry> "The Inquisition is not amused by your cowardice!" 6The interrogator roars, and fires a single shot at the tech-priest, the lasround blowing out part of the scaffolding for a street stand right next to him, causing the entire thing to collapse in ruin aside Crunch and causing it to briefly catch on fire. "Your eyes, next! Now, RANK AND FILE, cur!"
[19:29] <CaptainCrunch> 6The Tech Priest let out a high squeal of terror and ducked his head low, dropping the charge pack. He sat there for a moment as the roar of the explosion died down in his ears and he realized, by the throb of his heart, that he was still alive. He vaguely heard a snarl in the distance - something about his eyes and filing  things... He could feel a warmth above his head and he realized that --
03[19:29] * Retrieving #trainingwheels modes...
03[19:29] * Awry changes topic to 'crunch > franco > interrogator > kael > isolpe > verner > assailants'
[19:31] <CaptainCrunch> 6it wasn't the pressure of his blood shooting up to his brain, but a real actual fire smoldering from the boxes he was formerly cowering behind. 1"...aw, damn." 6He scrambled to his feet and scuttled obediantly towards the Inquistor, a low snarling smile on his face. 1"...r-ranked and filed, sir."
03[19:32] * Awry changes topic to 'crunch > franco > interrogator > kael > isolpe > nero > verner > assailants'
01[19:33] <~Awry> [okay so, isolpes turn now]
06[19:35] * Islope look amused at CC's aquish and was to distracted to do anything at the moment
[19:36] <Islope> *anguish
06[19:40] * Nero turns and yells back to Interrogator "I can't hit them with my shotgun at this range. Are we going to move up, sir?"
01[19:41] <~Awry> "As soon as we wouldn't die doing so," 6the Interrogator yells back, growling and pinned by fire. Debris and dust covered him, detritus from the repeatedly-shot pillar.
01[19:44] <~Awry> 6The only man still standing in front of the others that was of the Interrogator's former crew punches up from cover and sprays the building with several shots, none of them effective, from his autogun. The shells clink onto the pavement, spent in vain.
01[19:47] <~Awry> The machine gun in the building suddenly goes wild, spitting bullets at the Interrogator in cover, but none of them hitting. The interrogator looks in his spare moment afterwards, and immediately cries out: "Verner, sniper!" Another single staccato shot cracks through the midday clamor, however, and impacts Verner in his chest, throwing him backwards on the pavement with the force of impact.
01[19:48] <~Awry> 6He begins crawling back to cover when a hail of lasers from a lasgun on auto ends his life in the middle of the dingy alley.
[19:52] <CaptainCrunch> 6Well... they were down one more human sheild... The Tech Priest stared fearfully up at the assaulting window and raised his Las Carbine. At the same time he inched back juuuust a little, putting himself at a nice angle behind the Interrogator. So that the next round of shots would hopefully hit the bigger guy before it hit the runt. He braced and fired one shot up at the window.
[19:52] <Islope> "Dibs on his corpse starch."
01[19:57] <~Awry> 6There was a scream from the window, and, dramatically enough, the man with the heavy machine gun fell out of the low window clutching his neck. He impacted the floor and went still.
[19:58] <Nero> "Nice shot, kid!"
01[19:58] <~Awry> 6The interrogator raises his eyebrows in the moment of silence that followed, and then clapped the kid on the shoulder. "You might be found worthy yet," 6he says.
[19:58] <CaptainCrunch> "...I got him...?" 6The glowing pink lights inside the Tech Priest's goggles widden. 1"I got him!!!!"  6He threw his arms up into the air and jumped once.
[20:03] <Kael> actually
[20:04] <Kael> (oops, wc)
06[20:05] * Franco screams and holds down the trigger until it goes click
[20:06] <Nero> (Eight year olds, dude.)
01[20:08] <~Awry> 6There is silence from the tenement as Franco's last shot report fades into silence.
01[20:08] <~Awry> 6Also, redundancy. However, the interrogator then gets up, looks again, turns around and peers at Franco. "I'm rather glad I threatened to shoot you two. Get moving."
[20:09] <Franco> "kille them all and let the emporer sort them out, sir!
[20:10] <CaptainCrunch> "Oo-rah," 6The Tech-Priest said flatly and raised his Las Carbine up and down once.
[20:11] <Nero> (What gun was Verner using?)
01[20:13] <~Awry> [Autogun.]
01[20:15] <~Awry> [By the way if you guys have brief game related questions that will have a one word answer, I don't mind responding to you here. As long as it's one question. And a one word answer.]
01[20:15] <~Awry> [Just remember to use brackets.]
01[20:15] <~Awry> [Or parenthese or whatever. Back to the game.]
01[20:16] <~Awry> "Advance," 6the inquisitor says flatly, walking alongside the others as they approach the quiet building.
06[20:16] * Nero quickly scavanges Verner's autogun and ammo. "Yes, sir."
01[20:17] <~Awry> 6The interrogator gives Nero a very disapproving look, but says nothing. They walk - and the man with the machine gun who fell out of the window lies before them as they near the door. His eyes are closed - he is unconscious, breathing lightly and bleeding heavily from the wound in his collar.
06[20:18] * Kael advanced by crouch-running between cover, incase the sniper has another word for him or the lasgunner.
06[20:19] * Nero advances with the group, reloading the autogun and making sure it wasn't damageg.
06[20:20] * Franco scampers up to the bodies of the 2 he blasted away and loots their shit
[20:20] <Kael> *Islope advances with his gun, wary
01[20:20] <~Awry> 6The bodies, unfortunately, are inside.
[20:21] <CaptainCrunch> 6The Tech-Priest tip-toed through the debris, wedging himself towards the rear of the group, but not exactly the back. He paused as they passed the man they shot down, the one with the machine gun. He could see him breathing softly under his armor. He raised his rifle and took a shot, aiming for the man's temple.
01[20:23] <~Awry> 6His face disappears in a blow of gore.
01[20:23] <~Awry> 6A man in the sidelines vomits profusely at the sight and turns away.
01[20:24] <~Awry> 6Meanwhile, the interrogator takes aim with his gun and blows the lock of the door out with a single shot. He kicks the door open and stands defiantly in the threshold. "INQUISITION! Surrender your arms and selves to judgment!"
01[20:24] <~Awry> 6There is no answer.
06[20:25] * Kael takes out his sword in one arm, and thrwing knife in the other as he scales the walls to the nearby window, to carefully take a peak
06[20:27] * Islope takes the inquisitor's lead
06[20:27] * Franco is belwildered at kael. How does he climb with his hands full? He must have superpowers
[20:27] <CaptainCrunch> 'The options are die now or die in an interrogation chamber, of course nobody is going to surrender.' 6The Tech-Priest thought to himself, luckily the roll of his eyes was hidden behind the glow of his goggles. He kicked a little blood and brain sludge off his boot and inched back towards the main group.
01[20:27] <~Awry> 6Perhaps while this happened, they'd be able to get a good look at the Interrogator. A younger man, in that pearled armor, with his imperial authority hanging from his neck in the form of a pseudo-rosette. He lacks color or sight in one eye, a scar running over his face, and the orb itself a useless, milky thing. Other than that, he has --
01[20:27] <~Awry> 6one good brown eye, black hair, and the beginnings of a shadow ruining his clean shaven face.
01[20:28] <~Awry> 6The interrogator, while peering inside the establishment curiously, responds in an offhanded, nonchalant manner to the tech-priests idle words. "You might go to the same place. It depends on what we see here and how you react. Keep that in mind."
01[20:29] <~Awry> He walks in, pausing, expecting perhaps to be shot, but then keeps going when he is not.
06[20:30] * Nero follows The Interrogator through the threshold, autogun raised ready to fire. He scans the room for threats.
01[20:31] <~Awry> 6The building face has quite a few frames on it here and there -- climbing it would probably be exceedingly simple, to Kael's eyes.
06[20:33] * Kael climbs up with his harness, carefull to put the proper things to not fall off, and slowly peaks into the window, ready to draw his blade or grab someone and throw him off, but more importantly, ready to get out of the way if someone sees him
01[20:37] <~Awry> 6The main foyer of the room is completely empty -- it is a rather open space with a single desk, and two doors on either side -- on the other side of the room, behind the desk, was a larger hallway, behind which you could see stairwells.
06[20:38] * Nero dig through the desk drawers carefully.
01[20:38] <~Awry> 6Kael's eyes are keen, and he sees someone's fingers as he's about to look through the window, the barest tips of someone's fingers showing on the right side of the window, like someone was standing with their back to the wall, waiting or in cover.
[20:39] <CaptainCrunch> 6Either the targets were running away or they were being lead into a trap. Either option made the Tech-Priest want to throw himself head first through the nearest window and run away screaming.
06[20:39] * Franco looks around for bodies to loot
01[20:40] <~Awry> 6The interrogator looks at the others on the bottom floor. He notes the disappearance of Kael, and scowls, but says nothing. There were more important fish to fry at the moment. "Are the lot of you ready?"
01[20:40] <~Awry> 6There are no bodies on the lower level. People that were shot are on the upper level.
[20:41] <Franco> [there could be bodies anywhere! this place is crazy!!!!!!]
[20:41] <CaptainCrunch> 6The Tech-Priest positioned himself behind Nero and made a little 'oo-rah' motion with his rifle.
[20:42] <Islope> "For the Emperor!"
06[20:43] * Islope craddle his shotgun against his hips.
01[20:43] <~Awry> 6The interrogator looks less than satisfied. "Names and occupations. Now. If I even think that you're lying, there will be a consequence, as obvious honesty is a virtue." 6He pauses. "Speak."
[20:44] <Nero> "Nero Flagg. Adeptus Arbites."
06[20:45] * ~Awry looks at the others expectantly.
[20:46] <Islope> "Islope Furry, Feral Guardman"
[20:46] <Franco> "MY NAME IS FRANCO SOSA AND I CLEAN THE PRIVIES, SIR!!" Franco Yells enthusiastically
[20:47] <CaptainCrunch> "I'm the Tech-Priest!" 6The idiot introduced cheerfully, 1"Civilian pilot, Mister-Fix-It, Cargo Runner. Captain Crunch!"
03[20:49] * Tarvus_ (Tarvus@E6D02F46.9115797.BDF48298.IP) has joined #trainingwheels
02[20:49] * Tarvus (Tarvus@1D71BE4A.80BED9FF.BDF48298.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
03[20:49] * Tarvus_ is now known as Tarvus
06[20:52] * Kael sees the rogue standing, back against the window and quickly grabs him by the neck, and uses his own weight to throw him off the building against the floor.
06[20:53] * Kael quickly lowers himself down, grabs his sword, and tries to impale the man
01[20:54] <~Awry> "A wonderful gathering of high society," 6the interrogator quipped. "And I would love to hear why you're called *Captain*. Or *Crunch*, for that matter. Flagg, I expect you to keep these others in line. Raid the upper level." 6And then, there's a brief scream as Kael throws a poor sod out. He tries to react in time but fails, and falls upon a small pole on his way down. --
06[20:54] * Kael lowers himself down and sees what loot there is
01[20:55] <~Awry> 6There is a *splorch*, and the man's velocity slows as he slides down the pole briefly. He reaches the bottom, curled against the pavement, as is in the process of vomiting blood profusely while still alive.
06[20:57] * Nero nods "Yes, sir. Right away, sir." He looks at his comrades. "Let's move out."
06[20:57] * Franco stares at the squirming person impaled. How is he still alive, this shit is real!!!
[20:58] <CaptainCrunch> "Uh..." 6Crunch's goggle back lights blinked at the Interrogator. He might have said something more, but Kael's little stunt drew thier attention away. Crunch could hear a scream, a splorch, and the sound of vomit. Not regular vomit. The gurggly red kind. It had a different sound and texture. 1"...ha, ha..." 6Crunch rested a palm against his covered forehead and bent over a bit, 1"...ha..."
[20:59] <Islope> "Dibs of pocket change"
01[21:00] <~Awry> 6Kael is *about* to lower himself, but unfortunately there was more than one man in the room still. There is a bang when Kael is not looking, and his shoulder feels funny. He looks, and there is another fumbling with a revolver and its ammo -- he looks down, and notices that his shoulder is slowly blossoming in red. His arm goes weak --
06[21:02] * Nero blinks. "Crunch! Franco! Get it the feth together. It only gets worse."
06[21:02] * Franco cries and pukes at the same time, he is feeling terrible and on verge of a breakdown
01[21:03] <~Awry> 6-- and he slides down the cord, hit feet hitting the pavement.
[21:05] <CaptainCrunch> "Oh screw you, man!" 6Crunch cried hoarsely from his squatted position. He felt the bile and the food rise but he had no choice but to swallow it down. He had too much gear on his face to make for a fast food evacuation. The Tech-Priest raised one finger and flipped the stalwart man off then rested his sweating head against his free hand and tried to push away his neasuated induced dizziness.
01[21:06] <~Awry> 6The Interrogator does not look happy. He heads off into the broad hallway behind the desk.
[21:06] <Islope> "Inquistor maybe we should stop pissing our pants and vomiting... just a suggestion."
01[21:08] <~Awry> 6There was never any inquisitor, although perhaps a feral guardsman didn't have enough of an intellect to understand 'subtle' things like rank. As for the interrogator, he is gone off on his own.
06[21:09] * Islope walked behind the interrogator.
[21:09] <Kael> "Oh great, just when i do something i though was useful, this guy... does... this?"
06[21:10] * Kael goes about carefully looting the now dead man
01[21:10] <~Awry> 6The interrogator stopped and turned around. He narrows his eyes. "Guardsman. Stay with the arbitrator and clean out the second floor. The Emperor demands this task of you."
06[21:11] * Nero facepalms "Am I going to have to clear the top floor myself?'
[21:12] <Islope> "Yes sir..."
01[21:12] <~Awry> 6Perhaps Kael is ignorant that the man is actually still there, but he leans out the window and fires another shot at Kael. Thankfully his armor stops the bullet this time, however.
06[21:12] * Islope explore the second floor
06[21:12] * Franco goes upstairs too
06[21:12] * Kael makes a aimed shot against the revolver-wielder, and misses by barly a inch of him, before quickly running inside
[21:13] <CaptainCrunch> "...I'm... comin'..." 6The Tech Priest muttered softly and staggered after Neo. He rested his Las Carbine against his shoulder for a moment and checked his equipment. He was down one Charge Pack, but he still had the Las Pistole. And a knife of course. How useful.
06[21:13] * Nero is the one.
[21:13] <CaptainCrunch> (sorry typo ^^;;)
[21:13] <Nero> (Lol.)
[21:14] <Nero> "That's the spirit."
06[21:14] * Nero heads upstairs.

03[21:36] * Tarvus_ is now known as Tarvus
[21:38] <Kael> "Guardsman, you have armored protection and are obviously the one fo teh toughest man I have ever seen, i say we storm him and overpower the man with the revolver, he barly hurt me, and i'm a small weak flimsy man."
[21:38] <CaptainCrunch> "You know," 6Crunch informed Nero boldly as they climbed the stairs together, 1"I was FINE until that OTHER guy starts hurling chunks. It was more of a reaction thing. You know. One person gags. Domino effect? It happens to everyone."
[21:39] <CaptainCrunch> (starts hurling = started hurling** typo)
[21:39] <Islope> "Domino don't barf chicken legs and blood.... whatever ' even a man who has nothing can still offer his life.' "
06[21:40] * Kael gets his throwing knife out along with his sword
06[21:40] * Islope Take the stairs and have shotgun out
[21:40] <Kael> Guardsman, Sword, do you have on?
[21:40] <CaptainCrunch> "Did you just have a seizure, 'cause... that made no sense." 6Crunch paused and stared at Islope for a moment.
01[21:40] <~Awry> 6He was a feral guardsman, after all.
01[21:41] <~Awry> 6Grammar wasn't his strongest point.
01[21:43] <~Awry> 6At the top of the stairwell, the hallway went in two directions, carpeted in both. The paths turn around corners perhaps 20 meters in either direction.
[21:43] <Nero> "We're going left."
[21:43] <Kael> "Guardsman, you decide"
[21:44] <Kael> "WHoever's behind me, watch our backs"
01[21:44] <~Awry> [The option to split up also exists. Keep it in mind.]
[21:45] <Islope> Well should we just split up into a group of two and cover both side?
[21:45] <Kael> No, we go together"
[21:45] <CaptainCrunch> 6The Tech-Priest wondered if it would have been better to split up and secure both corridors at the same time. But splitting up into two groups meant dramatically cutting down the number of human body sheilds. And that didn't seem like a good idea either. He gulped slightly and nodded.
[21:46] <Islope> Well left it is
[21:46] <Nero> "No. We're not going to divide our forces. I'll cover our rear, then."
06[21:46] * Islope stride to the left
06[21:47] * Kael follows blades ready
01[21:54] <~Awry> 6As soon as Islope comes around the corner and makes enough noise, a man rushes out of cover with a sword that actually looked somewhat dangerous. He runs at the guardsman, yelling.
06[21:56] * Islope shoots
[21:58] <CaptainCrunch> 6Crunch jerked out of formation a bit and raised his rifle towards the door the running lunatic had come from. Call him paranoid - he was - but that seemed like a diversion.
01[22:00] <~Awry> 6The man pauses right before he impacts the guardsman, and thrusts at his heart -- Islope moves, and takes a glancing blow to to his left arm; then he blasts with the shotgun, and then there is a man with a profound hole in his chest that slumps forward and to the side in death before them.
[22:01] <Nero> "Did he just run at us with a sword? Huh. Good kill."
[22:01] <Kael> thats all three people..
[22:02] <Islope> "Got a bandage?"
[22:02] <Kael> "are we done here?"
06[22:02] * Kael loots his stuff, mainly looking for his revolver and ammo
01[22:03] <~Awry> 6There is no revolver. They have the wrong man in mind.
[22:03] <Islope> "Okay let's drag all the bodys to the first floor and distrubute the loot"
[22:03] <Kael> "so theres more than 3 people here then.."
01[22:03] <~Awry> 6On a second glance, it looks like they just killed a form of hobo. Probably drunk, from the alcoholic stench.
01[22:03] <~Awry> There is a single door in the west hallway.
[22:04] <Nero> "We finish the mission before we loot."
[22:04] <Kael> "  Guardsman, nice shaking off that blow, lets keep going,"
[22:05] <Nero> "Let's breach that door."
[22:05] <Islope> me/ glances at his team.... "I probably can't take another hit so I'm not leading."
[22:06] <Nero> "I'll take point."
[22:06] <CaptainCrunch> "Aw, you're fine!" 6Crunch informed the Guardsman brightly and bounced off after Nero.
01[22:06] <~Awry> 6The door was a normal wooden door. It was not particularly special.
[22:07] <Nero> (Enough room to get a person on both sides of the frame?)
[22:07] <Kael> "wait, how about we just unload some rounds through the door before we enter?"
02[22:07] * Emo_Duck (no@sux-6289E584.vbrnqu1.dynamic.dsl.tele.dk) Quit (Quit: Goodnight.)
[22:08] <Nero> "Because if they're dumb enough to just stand in front of the door after hearing that shotgun, they won't be a threat anyway."
[22:08] <Kael> "Bah, just open teh door"
06[22:09] * Nero nods and kicks in the door.
02[22:11] * Nero (Franfag@C77D664A.EF1049F9.5833D6B5.IP) Quit (Quit: Nero)
01[22:11] <~Awry> "DON'T FRIGGIN' MOVE!" 6The tough with the revolver has someone in his grip, a woman with black hair and a strained look on her face with the man's arm around her neck, revolver muzzle firmly set against her head. He's moving towards the window. "I'll blow her the hell away, I friggin' swear."
03[22:11] * Franfag (Franfag@sux-61B292C1.dsl.tul2ok.sbcglobal.net) has joined #trainingwheels
01[22:12] <~Awry> "DON'T FRIGGIN' MOVE!" 6The tough with the revolver has someone in his grip, a woman with black hair and a strained look on her face with the man's arm around her neck, revolver muzzle firmly set against her head. He's moving towards the window. "I'll blow her the hell away, I friggin' swear."
[22:12] <Kael> "Dude, we don't know that girl"
[22:12] <Islope> "What the fuck DO I CARE!"
03[22:13] * Tarvus is now known as Kellus
[22:13] <Kellus> "I FUCKING CARE!"
01[22:13] <~Awry> 6Says the girl.
[22:13] <Franfag> "We have no idea who that is, but if you put your gun away we'll let you live."
[22:14] <CaptainCrunch> 6Suddenly they were dealing with a hostage situation. Crunch lowered his rifle slowly and scratched at some dandruf crusting between his black dread locks, 1"Eh-heh... I don't think the 'don't shoot or I'll' angle is going to work on this group, pal."
[22:16] <Islope> "How do we know she isn't your ally?"
03[22:17] * Kellus_ (Tarvus@E6D02F46.9115797.BDF48298.IP) has joined #trainingwheels
01[22:17] <~Awry> 6He backed up farther to the window, still holding the revolver against her head. He was clearly sweating. The hammer cocked slowly. "You... you sure? I already friggin' fired at you, you know I could do it!" 6Then he gives a nervous laugh. "You think she's my fucking friend? I helped grab this stupid bitch a week ago!"
[22:18] <Franfag> "Put her down and live. Shoot her and die. Those are your options."
02[22:18] * Kellus (Tarvus@E6D02F46.9115797.BDF48298.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
[22:18] <Islope> "Yeah? Go for it."
03[22:18] * Kellus_ is now known as Kellus
06[22:18] * Islope aim his shotgun.
06[22:19] * Kael was aiming a throwing knife the entire time, and threw it, hitting the girl in teh arm
[22:19] <Kael> "Feth"
[22:20] <CaptainCrunch> 6Crunch stared back and forth between the maniac gun man and his own team of wackos. At the moment, both seemed equally unbalanced.
[22:21] <Kael> "well, i certainly can't throw a knife.."
01[22:26] <~Awry> 6Indeed, Kael throws no knife at all. As he is about to, a bright white light erupts in the room in front of everyone -- you know when you woke in the morning in your hab-cot, and you turn on the lux-globe when you're accidentally staring straight at it and are accustomed to total darkness? That kind of glaring, afterimagine-burning light. Except about thirty times brighter. --
06[22:28] * Islope attempt to shield his eyes.
01[22:28] <~Awry> 6In addition to this is the noise, the deafening crack of noise, the king that overloads your ears and and makes your hearing go into a long, high-pitched ring. The thug emits a curse, and loosens his grip. Islope, perhaps through sheer stubbornness, glares through the white, eyes streaming tears at the brightness but still able to discern the room.
06[22:29] * Kael quickly throws himself against the floor trying to stop the light
[22:29] <Islope> "Whate the .............."
[22:29] <Islope> *what
06[22:29] * Kael then covershis ears with his hands, have to top this SUPER-FLASHBANG LIGHT
[22:31] <CaptainCrunch> "Dah!" 6Crunch dropped his weapons and grabbed his ears. He sank to ground and landed hard against the floorboards. A stream of curses flowed from underneath his respirator.
06[22:33] * Franfag growls and takes a knee, covering his eyes with his arm.
03[22:33] * Franfag is now known as Nero
06[22:35] * Kellus shoves the guy away from her, and stumbles towards the A-team, arm over her eyes.
01[22:36] <~Awry> 6If no action is taken...
01[22:36] <~Awry> 6... then the light fades away eventually, leaving all parties involved staring at one another with no explanation.
[22:36] <CaptainCrunch> (are we still disabled?)
06[22:37] * Nero fires at the hostage taker.
[22:40] <CaptainCrunch> 6Crunch stared blankly at Islope for a moment then muttered, 1"I think I just had one of your seizures." 6He froze up a bit, his vision becoming more clear and with that, he noticed the girl was staggering towards them.
03[22:40] * Awry changes topic to 'kael > kellus > kasskom + crunch > poor bastard >  nero '
06[22:41] * Islope grunted and pushed the girl aside and he cocked his shotgun and fire.
06[22:44] * Kael charges at him and tries to decapitate him, ending up spinning and slipping up, hitting teh wall to the elft of the room, just looking silly
01[22:44] <~Awry> 6As Kael charges, he's punched in the gut and knocked aside by the thug, who's now clearly understanding that this was the end of his life.
03[22:46] * Awry changes topic to 'kael > kellus > nero > kasskom + crunch > poor bastard'
06[22:47] * Kellus regains vision and continues bailing out from the room.
03[22:48] * Islope (lc@sux-9F1CF631.static.mtpk.ca.charter.com) has left #trainingwheels
[22:53] <CaptainCrunch> "H-hey, lady!" 6Crunch called and ran after her.
06[22:54] * Nero wonders what the hell his teammates are doing, and fires.
01[22:55] <~Awry> 6The poor bastard, knowing death was coming as Nero aimed and gave him one last look, attempted to dodge. Unfortunately his intuition wasnt the best and he tried to duck *forward*, *under* the bullets. When the smoke clears, and the shells stop rolling, there is a horribly bullet-riddled corpse with only about 20% of its head still intact in the middle of the room. --
01[22:55] <~Awry> 6In life, it had watched too many action-flick vids.
[22:56] <Nero> "Room clear."
[22:56] <CaptainCrunch> (yay)
06[23:01] * Kellus leans against the wall, breathing a sigh of relief. She also sees a techpriest running up to her. She fixes her best steely glare on him.
06[23:03] * Nero walks out into the hall like a world series winner going for one more world series win. He takes a sip from a flask. "Killed that guy. Who are you?"
[23:04] <Kellus> "Oh, now you show concern." She un-leans from the wall. "'Oh, we don't know her,''doesn't matter if she dies'," I believe your friend's words were.
02[23:06] * Kael (Kalminos@sux-F6EBD664.dhcp.mtpk.ca.charter.com) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
[23:06] <CaptainCrunch> "Hey, I didn't raise a gun up to your head." 6Crunch informed her, in his defense.
06[23:06] * Nero shrugs "I didn't say that. I was trying to negotiate for you, remember?"
[23:07] <CaptainCrunch> "He was trying to negotiate for you!" 6Crunch echoed quickly.
06[23:09] * Kellus looks over at the techpriest. "Not that you actually cared either way."
[23:09] <Nero> "In any case, you're safe now."
[23:09] <Nero> "in the immediate sense."
[23:10] <Nero> "Who are you?
[23:10] <CaptainCrunch> "Yea~aah, you're SAFE." 6He placed his hands on his hips. 1"Thanks to us."
06[23:10] * Kellus shrugs, obviously doubting the 'safe' comment. "My name is Kellus. Kellus Mallus. You?"
06[23:11] * Kellus looks over non-existant glasses at the techpriest.
[23:11] <Nero> "Nero Flagg, Adeptus Arbites. Pleased to meet you."
[23:12] <CaptainCrunch> "Captain Crunch!" 6Smile. Smile. Smile.
[23:14] <Kellus> "Captain...crunch?" Admech are so wierd. She decides to ignore him for the time being, and turns to the arbite. "Why are you even here?"
[23:15] <Nero> "Keeping the peace. Did I hear that guy say they abducted you?"
06[23:16] * Kellus looks up.
[23:16] <Kellus> "Apparently."
[23:16] <Nero> "Any idea why?"
[23:16] <CaptainCrunch> "They did?" 6Crunch asked incredulously, 1"All I heard was 'back off or she gets it!'"
[23:16] <Kellus> "I...can't remember much. No."
06[23:16] * Kellus pointedly ignores the wierdo admech.
[23:18] <Kellus> "I refuse to believe you managed to find this bunch of idiots and...and cajole them into helping."
06[23:18] * Kellus indicates Crunch.
[23:19] <Nero> "Well, he's an alright shot from what I've seen. A bit squeamish though."
[23:19] <Nero> "You should come with us and meet our boss."
[23:19] <CaptainCrunch> "Oh no!" 6Crunch shook his head, quick to explain that it wasn't Nero who 'cajoled him into helping.' 1"It was a much bigger guy with a better gun!"
06[23:22] * Kellus frowns looks at Crunch, before walking back into the room and looking around.
[23:22] <Kellus> frowns andlooks*]
[23:22] <Kellus> and looks***]
01[23:23] <~Awry> 6BOOM! Almost in response to Crunch's last syllable, the tenement shakes and quivers as some sort of explosion goes off somewhere nearby, the shockwave making the foundations shudder and the bass rumbling ominously.
01[23:23] <~Awry> There's a crate in the corner of the room with all of Kellus' belongings.
06[23:24] * Kellus gets her stuff out of the crate (she guesses they were going to sell her loot later or something), including an autopistol and holster, which she dons. "What was that?"
01[23:25] <~Awry> hey
01[23:25] <~Awry> [Fuck.]
[23:26] <CaptainCrunch> 6Crunch reached out and grabbed Nero's arm as the room rocked. He held on until the shuddering stopped then ran off after Kellus. 1"We need to finish this up before that guy blasts out the structure supports and we become a building sandwhich! Lady, I don't know who you are, but you should beat it while you can."
[23:27] <Nero> She's coming with us.
[23:27] <Nero> " "
06[23:28] * Kellus gathers her few belongings, including putting on a flak-coat over her robes. "Oh no, I'd rather stay here and die,"she states, with heavy sarcasm.
01[23:28] <~Awry> [Awareness tests.]
[23:28] <CaptainCrunch> "Okay then, can I have your stuff?" 6Crunch asked, with equal, eyebrow arching sarcasim
01[23:33] <~Awry> 6Kellus, perhaps the wrong person to understand where the noise is coming from, realizes that the explosions must be somewhere farther than the scaffolding of the simple tenement.
01[23:33] <~Awry> 6In fact... it seems to be coming from... under?
06[23:34] * Kellus thinks. Under-> foundations ->are what buildings stand on. She blinks a few times, before charging out the door."Gentlemen, we are leaving!"
[23:37] <CaptainCrunch> 6She didn't have to tell him twice. Maybe it was animal instinct, but when someone started running away it was a good indicator to start running with them instead of questioning the decision. Crunch set his rifle in a safe position and took off as quickly as his scrawny legs would take him. He was pretty fast for a metal head.
06[23:39] * Nero is clearly confused, but doesn't argue. He books it on out of there. He's a big guy, not really built for speed.
01[23:43] <~Awry> 6When they get to the doorway of the tenement, and when they open the door, they are greeted by a wall of Adeptus Arbites, perhaps ten of them, with combat shotguns and autoguns trained on them as they enter the open. More than one bright red dot shows itself upon their heads or chests. A voice rings out from somewhere --
01[23:43] <~Awry> "Surrender your weapons and or be subject to fatal sanction. This is your only chance to cooperate."
06[23:44] * Kellus sighs. She'd only just put on the damn holster too. She takes it off and drops it to the ground beside her.
06[23:46] * Nero frowns. So much for being the heroes. He lays all his weapons on the ground and puts his hands behind his head.
[23:48] <CaptainCrunch> 6Crunch let out a low groan and dropped his rifle. It fell to the floor with a clatter. He pulled his red sleeves up a bit to show that he was unarmed up to his elbows and held his arms up in surrender.
01[23:58] <~Awry> "Wait!" 6There was a choked cry.
Session Time: Fri Apr 30 00:00:00 2010
01[00:00] <~Awry> 6It came from the side -- over there. On the ground, being attended to by a Arbites combat medic, was Kennelman. He looked to be in serious pain, but he was still breathing. "They were with the interrogator," 6he says in agony. His eyes roll back in his head, and he loses consciousness for a quick one or two seconds, and then comes to again. "He... recruited them." --
01[00:01] <~Awry> 6He falls back on his arms again with another long, incredibly-strained groan.
01[00:01] <~Awry> 6Silence.
06[00:02] * Nero looks around. This is kind of an awkward moment for all involved.
01[00:02] <~Awry> 6There is an arbites near the front that looks like an authority figure. He's looking suspiciously at you three.
06[00:02] * Kellus wonders if she could take that guy's stuff offhandedly.
[00:02] <Nero> "Well, he did."
[00:03] <Kellus> "I'm just the hostage."
06[00:03] * Kellus sidles away from Nero.
01[00:04] <~Awry> "...where is the interrogator?"
01[00:04] <~Awry> 6One man says.
01[00:05] <~Awry> 6Apparently they knew him.
[00:05] <CaptainCrunch> "Th-that's right! We're with the Interrogator guy! Uh, the one... with the eyeball. Him! He did this!" 6Crunch shouted and made a vague motion to all the carnage and destruction around them. 1"We were doing a job. F-for the Emperor. Or he was going to shoot us. He, being the Interrogator. So we're here. Working for him. The Interrogator. For the Emperor. Because we love the Emperor! And -
[00:06] <CaptainCrunch> "- we don't want the Interrogator to shoot us. So... long live the Emperor?" 6The Tech-Priest finished awkwardly and held up his hands again in a weak surrender.
06[00:07] * Kellus sidles further away from Crunch and Nero.
01[00:07] <~Awry> "... where is the interrogator."
06[00:08] * Nero glances at Crunch "What the fuck?"
[00:08] <Nero> "Anyway. We were in the building. The Interrogator asked us to clear the upstairs while he took the ground floor."
[00:08] <CaptainCrunch> "He told us to secure the upper levels. He-he took the other hallway. Downstairs. I mean, the door. The one behind the desk. In the foyar. He's real," 6Crunch wagged one finger around above his head, 1"I'm telling you, he's here. He hired us. This is his doing."
[00:08] <Kellus> "If nobody else came outside, then he must be inside."
06[00:09] * Nero "Presumably, he's still inside."
[00:09] <Nero> *Nero nods
06[00:09] * Kellus realizes something suddenly and looks to Nero.
[00:09] <Kellus> "Did you hear the explosion?"
[00:10] <Kellus> "That could have been the Interrogator. He could be seriously wounded."
[00:10] <CaptainCrunch> "Yeah, you guys should go check that out. All of you." 6Crunch agreed quickly.
01[00:11] <~Awry> "Jones, Pietta, Xanthius. On me. Rest of you stay nail the foyer down. No one is allowed out or in. Detain anyone who inquires. Subdue those who resist." 6One of the men with a thick blonde moustache walked forward with three others trailing him, shotguns and otherwise still trained on the three of them. "Lead. And I hope you don't get any amazing ideas."
[00:11] <CaptainCrunch> "Damn it." 6Crunch's shoulders sagged.
[00:11] <Kellus> "Can we take our weapons now? Someone might steal them if we leave them out here." She points out the weaponry on the ground.
01[00:15] <~Awry> 6The curt reply: "We'll take care of them."
01[00:15] <~Awry> "Now move."
