The world is burning. But you don't care.
You're flying through the city, your sinous, leathery body twisting as you weave between skyscrapers.

In the distance is a building you only faintly recognize, and a young man stands there, defiantly, staring directly at you. You give him a roar of challenge, and he returns his own.

As you charge toward him, he roars and brings up a shining spear, which he then throws at you. But your scales are too sturdy, and the spear simply bounces off. He shrugs, and resigns to his fate, as he leaps toward you, faster and further than you thought the man-thing could accomplish.

The two of you collide in mid-air, your powerful, rending claws clashing against his strange, mechanical augmentations.

And then you snap awake.
So you *can* sleep. Huh.
<You have been asleep for eight hours.> Azure said.

>Quest is half an hour late than usual

Man, you had me worried for a while.

>>19126251
>So you *can* sleep. Huh.

That's good.

<Azure, can you run self-diagnostics on my body? I want to know if I'm doing damage to it but don't notice it because my brain is fried>
We might even use some scanning equipment that Jun has.

Do we feel hunger?

We should get or cat.

>>19126258
>Actually, I have it planned for exactly 15:00. 4chan time, but most of the time I get impatient and start it early.

You sit up, rolling your shoulders. Then you pet Ishelda, but she completely ignores you, like your lovely cat always does.

You're hungry. You sit up, and open Abel's mini-fridge, grabbing the supplies to make a truly delicious sandwich. <Azure, can you do diagnostics on my body? Any damage I'm doing to myself that I don't realize because my brain is fried?>
<None that I notice.> Azure said. <But I have been keeping an eye on all of that.>

>>19126298
Dammit, Ishelda! Show some affection for once!

Make a truly enormous sandwich.

make a sandwich that would make arthur dent proud. then wonder if us feeling hungry means we have started migrating back to our head, or that we subconsciously monitor our nutritional needs, or if it is just a psychological thing

>>19126298
Ishelda should, at some point, save our life. She should swat the gun out of our arch nemesis hand giving us an opportunity to attack while she goes to her bowl to eat.

You continue making your truly enormous sandwich; but Abel doesn't have any pickles! You clench your fist and raise it into the air, about to cry to the heavens-
When you realize that you don't actually like pickles that much. So you just shrug, and finish your sandwich, taking the first, delicious bite.
You scratch Ishelda's head some more, then you get up. Now, what do you have to do today. . .

>[] Move into Grayson's Apartment
>[] Repair the Dome with Mark
>[] Assist Amy with the Ravens
>[] Other.

What you guys think of contacting our relatives/parents this session?

>[x] Assist Amy with the Ravens
We did say we would help her.

>>19126349
Hey, when Amy is done with the Ravens, do we even need to move to Grayson's apartement?

I mean, they are going to be even faster than Omega, so we could go to Antarctica in 30-50 minutes.

rolled 35 = 35

>>19126375
Agreed. Ravens, then Dome, then apologize to Grayson that we're going to be staying in the Davecave instead.

>[] Repair the Dome with Mark

>>19126375
>>19126397

Of course it cannot hurt having a place to stay in the FutureCity

>>19126397
oooh, i like this one

retracting my vote from >>19126402

You finish your sandwich, and pet Ishelda some more (who runs away after she gets tired of you) and decide to go help Amy with the Ravens.

The walk over to her garage-slash-workshop is uneventful, but you put on your power armor just in case.
"Daaaave." Amy says as she opens the door. "I was just about to call you! Good timing."

She shows you to the Ravens, where they're hardly more than frames, with a bunch of electrical parts in the nose. She tosses you a little tool, and points to a stack of plates made out of a strange, black material. "I just need you to fasten these plates on the frame while I set up the propulsion cores." She says, and the two of you get to work.

The black plates aren't as heavy as you originally thought they were- in fact, they're quite light, and the work is pretty easy for you.
"That's because you have the 'drites, and so you have a lot more reach." she said. "I'd need to get ladders. Or build extend-o-legs, which would be ridiculous."

>>19126422
"So how long would it take to go to Antarctica in these? And are you making 2-seat versions or just a single passenger one?"

A few hours later, you finally have all of the plates in place, and Amy has a large power core in the back of the object set in place. "There." She said, lounging on the couch, sweating profusely. "That's it for this morning." She said.
"Are you making two-seat versions, or just a single passenger one?" You ask.
"I'm making two of them, each with only one seat." She says. "They should be fast enough to get us to . . say, Antarctica, in about thirty minutes to an hour. The two-seater would only be as fast as Omega."

>>19126499
"I see.
Hmm, would a normal person be able to use them? Wouldn't g-force splatter them?"

then we go see Mark

>>19126499
"When will you need my help again?"

"I see. Would a normal person be able to use them?" You ask. "Wouldn't G-force splatter them?"
"Well, I'm programming them to have a long, gradual acceleration and deceleration when they get to a certain speed, so G-forces won't be an issue unless you try to jackknife at max speed."
"I see." You say. "Are you going to need my help again?"
"Maybe, but probably not." She said. "All of the hard work's mostly done- now I just need to wait for KI to send me the hoverplates, and then I need to tinker with them."
"That seems. . quick. Before, you said it would be a couple days."
"That was before I had your help." She said, getting up and kissing you. "Thanks, Dave."

>>19126567
"Your welcome."

"KI are okay with sending their technology? Also, what do you think of my idea from yesterday? I mean using the bunker as joint-project of sorts."

Float the idea of naming our new captured fortress Arcadia instead of The Dave Cave

>>19126567
"Don't mention it. I'm happy to help. Most of the time I cannot because whatever you're doing is way over my head."

>>19126582

I'm guessing they're perfectly delighted to be selling us something we can't get in-house. It's inter-corp ego stroking.

Right, so that's task 1 down. TO THE DAVECAVE (repairs)!

"I'm happy to help; most of the time I can't, because whatever you're doing is way over my head." You say. "But come to think of it; KI's okay with sending their technology?"
"For the most part." She said. "They already sell those plates to the military, and various aircraft designers."
"Also, what did you think of my idea from yesterday? Using the bunker as a joint-project of sorts?"
"From what I heard, Jun talked about that with the board, but they don't think it has much of a chance of going through. KI already has a few structures down there, and one more won't seal the deal."
"I see. . Also, what do you think of naming it something like. . Arcadia, or Valhalla?"
"Hmm. . . I like Arcadia, but that's a real place in greece, isn't it? At least it's better than the 'Davecave'." She said, chuckling. "Speaking of the bunker, don't you have plans to test Mark's repair droids? I mean, I'd love to cuddle with you on the couch a little longer, but we do have places to be."
"Yeah, you're right." You say.
"Come on, we can take Verne's car." She says, and the two of you leave the garage, lock it up, and take the car to EE.

"You're late." Mark says on the rooftop, loading crates into the VTOL.

>>19126677
"Hey, I was busy with my girlfriend."

>>19126677
"Sorry, I was having sex on top of a dumpster behind the fast food place."
Get slapped by Amy, laugh, get in VTOL.

"Hey, I was busy with my girlfriend."
"I feel for you, I truly do." Mark said in a dry voice. "Get in. Without most of the junk Omega wanted us to carry, we should get there a bit more quickly."
You hop into the seat alongside him, and he flicks a few switches on his dashboard, listening to the engines start up. "And we're off." He says, and flicks another switch.

The flight is mostly uneventful, as you and Mark talk about mechandrites and your various misadventures. He was right- a normally two hour trip only took an hour and a half.

"We're here." He said, setting down next to the bunker as you tell Talos that you're a friend, not a foe.

>>19126754
"Right."

Give order to Talos. Also, ask for status report.

>>19126754
"So, Mark, any ideas for the bunker beyond repairing the damage we caused?"

"Right." You say.
<Status report?>
<Massive damage on the top of the dome, minor damage on the inside, and hallways 4, 5, and 6 are lacking turrets.> Talos responds, as Mark pulls the crates out of the back of the VTOL.
"Any ideas for the bunker beyond repairing the damage we caused?"
"None, really. If these drones work, you can go ahead and keep most of em, so if you end up with any ideas you can build it yourself." He said. "Come here, and connect to this." Inside are a dozen drones, each with a strange tank on their back, and what looks like a welder on their front.
You connect to the crate, and close your eyes.
>Roll 1d100 wheee

rolled 34 = 34

ROLLING WITH THE ROLL OF 1,000 ROLLERS

<Your brain is lighting up.> Azure says, as you connect your cable to the drones.

Suddenly, your mind is in a dozen drones, as you will them all to enter the crack in the top of the bunker. Each one starts repairing the damage with the strange welder on their front. Slowly, but surely, it's all getting repaired.
"Huh." Mark says. "I assumed it would be a bit faster."
"That's because I'm just learning how to use these." You respond, eyes closed.

>>19126863
"Not used to controlling bunch of stuff at once, you see? Would have been able to take down that gunship otherwise."
"Perhaps KI has some advice or training? That would be great."

>>19126881

Yeah, "learning to input juggle" needs to go on our to-do list.

"Not used to controlling a bunch of stuff at once, you see?" You say, as you will the drones to work more quickly. "Would have been able to take down that gunship otherwise."
He nods. "Well, once I finish an AI for these things, that should speed them up a bit."
"Maybe I could get some kind of advice from any of the IDW users from KI. That would be great." You mention.
"Just try not to tell them any secrets." Mark says, examining the drones and their work. "You do seem to be getting a little faster."
"It's easier if I think about it less." You say. "Try to let them work automatically, and just guide them a little."

>>19126950

While we've got a build team here, we need to look into turning that airlock into a guaranteed death trap. No reason to leave Twelve an unlocked back door.

>>19126950
<Azure, maybe you can help out with something?>

>>19126963
This. I was thinking about it too.

<Talos, let some of my drones to the airlock.> You say, and he opens the necessary doors. Your drones enter the airlock, and you simply start constructing turrets and locked doors there- now it doubles as both a trap and as an escape route.
<Azure, any chance you can help with any of this?> You ask. In response, one of your combat drones lift, and start flying into the dome.
<If I borrow the computer systems the dome has, certainly.> Comes her response.

Soon enough, with Azure's help, the airlock is secured, the hole in the roof is patched, the turrets and environmental systems are repaired. It's as good as new.

"That really sped up near the end." Mark says, checking through the diagnostic info on the crate's computer.

>>19127002
"Yeah, had one of my AIs use the computer systems in the bunker to help me out."

"So, how is the test? Are these things good to go?"

>>19127002

"I slaved half of 'em to Azure. Which, incidentally, let us double up the workload. They really DO need their own dedicated AI to run overwatch."

>>19127030
"Some kind of a transportable central control unit perhaps? The AI will need a lot of CPU to run.
Like a big motherdroid"

"I slaved half of them to Azure. Which, incidentally, let us double up the workload." You say. "They do need their own dedicated AI to run overwatch."
"I'll keep that in mind." Mark said. "I'll see if any of the techs are up to throwing an AI together."
"Maybe some kind of transportable central control unit? Some kind of motherdroid or something. You'll need a lot of CPU for the AI."
"Aw, that's no fun." Mark said. "I kind of wanted them to be independant, but cluster-based works too."
Then he shrugged. "Want me to help you move these crates inside for you?" He asks. "Seeing as they still need some work on the AI front, you can keep 'em."

>Bunker upgrade acquired: Prototype Repair\Construction Drones
>Warning: They require credits in order to purchase 'atomic goop' with which to build.

>>19127075
"Oh, thanks. I think I'll manage though."
Get the crates inside.

"How much does a crate worth of 'atomic goop' cost?"

File: 1337200711131.jpg-(45 KB, 350x431, doc-ock.jpg)

May I suggest we go full doc-oc and get ourselves 2 more heavy drites? 4:2?
You have to admit it would be cool, plus we have a lot of cash now. Or maybe that's just me.

>>19127116
But we have 4 already. We cannot use heavy drites without our armor, that's why we didn't replace the light ones.

While cool, having too much of them will make us slow and bulky.

"Oh, thanks." You say, as the two of you start carrying crates inside. "how much does a crate worth of atomic goop cost?"
"Oh, quite a bit. Around ten thousand credits." He said. "Less, if you get it directly from the suppliers like I do."
"Suppliers? Who makes the stuff?"
"Future Van-Co." Mark responds.

Soon enough, the two of you finish carrying the crates.
<I have finished modifying Talos so that you can ask him to do things remotely, via satellite uplink, and he has control of the drones. He will also inform you if anything happens.> Azure says, the drone returning to your bag.>
"Anything else you intended to do here?" Mark asked.

>>19127199

"It just needs to be made more livable. And I think getting Amy's mom to go all House Beautiful on the place might be a chance for a little bonding. Maybe. If I can get her to overlook the gun turrets." *sigh*

"It just needs to be made more livable." You say. "And I think getting Amy's mom to go all 'House Beautiful' on the place might be a chance for a little bonding. Maybe. If I can get her to overlook the gun turrets."
Mark starts laughing, and you sigh.
"You can't get someone to 'overlook gun turrets' if they're not used to it." He says.
"I know." You say.
"Well, when you get the plans of how you want it to look like, you can just have the drones do it for you." He says. "I do have work to do, though, so let's get back to EE."
"Right-o, Mark." You say, and climb into the seat next to his.
He flicks a few more switches, and the VTOL takes off, back to the US and EE.

Halfway through, however, you hear a strange, loud, clank from the cargo space of the aircraft.
"What was that?" Mark asked. "Go check it out."

>>19127300
Go check it out, be careful.

>It's penguin, isn't it?

>>19127300
Use a drite like a periscope.

You get up, and enter the large cargo space. .
Standing there is a man in a black power suit, four limbs bursting from his back; they weren't mechandrites, not truly- if anything, they looked more like the legs of a spider, complete with monomolecular points at the end.
Stencilled on his chest are two words; 'Project Immortal'
"Hey, dickhead. You're the one who killed me." Came Kell's voice from the suit's helmet. "I knew those guys weren't joking when they said you would be at that snowy fucking place eventually."

You notice that his helmet doesn't have a visor either.

Try to adhere to Sigma's advice of not telephathin our moves.
Use the drites to fuck him up. First go his arms

>>19127360
We know who he is, it is the nerdy computer guy from that solo batman mission we did a while back.

"You're not a penguin." You say, and then you try to hack him. Bullet time kicks in as he leaps toward you. You dive out of the way, ignoring Azure as he tells you that your brain activated again. "Really, Dude? Really? Can't you wait until this thing parks before we do this?"

"Fuck no." He said. "I want to tear you apart right now." He says, and he shoots one of the limbs on his back toward you. You hack the engines in it- hydraulic based, you can tell- to entirely deactivate them.
"Screw you and your computer mojo bullshit." He says, and dives forward to punch you. You twist out of the way, and throw him into a wall with your 'drites. Doing your best to pin him there, you grab one of his arms and tug.

He screams, and the entire arm comes off, sparks and cables covered in blood being pried out of the socket.

>>19127376
I know we know who he is, but there is nothing more infuriating then the person who killed you not remembering you. That day might have been the most important day of your life, for me it was Tuesday.

Also, notify Mark

<Magenta, it's showtime.> You say, and grip one of the deactivated limbs on his back.
<Mark, we have a bad guy back here I'm fighting.> You say over the coms. You tear the limb out, but it's nowhere as satisfying, only giving you a slight 'hiss' and a 'crack' for your trouble.
"I killed you once." You say. "I can do it again."
"Fuck you."
"But I'm currently interested in this Project Immortal thing." You say.
"Fuck. You."
You jab his own torn off limb into his leg, and he groans. "You might as well tell me what I want to know."
"Project Immortal." He says. "It's exactly what it fucking sounds like."

No, seriously. Who is Kell? I read all previous threads, but I can't remember him.

"So you'll live forever, even when I do this?" Tear off another limb. "Wow, that's gonna be painful, when I have you in a bunch of teensy weensy pieces."

>>19127496
So they bring you back to life just to get your ass kicked.

How exactly to they do that, clone bodies, they try to restore the brain and plug it into a suit, I'd like some answers and you're really not in a position to decline me.

Who's behind it anyways?

Why the shit are we talking?

Disable him, knock him out and make sure he cannot move then take him to EE and THEN question him.

Stop distracting and focus fully on the combat.

When we're satisfied, wrap him up in BOTH of our heavy drites.
Bullet time is still go.

"So you'll live forever?" You ask. You grab his other arm. "Even when I do. . this?"
You start to tear. . but then a red shockwave throws you back.

His helmet is off, and he's grinning. "Power shield active." He says. One of his eyes is a power core, it looks like. "EMP field, active. Jamming, active." He continues to say. He grabs his own arm off of the ground, and slides it back into the socket that you had torn it out of. He groans again, but then grins. "Combat drugs, active."

You quickly try to hack him, but you find a strange, invisible barrier blocking you from him.

You know, I'm kind of out of your league bub, and it's rather silly to announce exactly what you're doing.

Are there any turrets nearby that we can shoot him with or lure him into?

He wants to do this through brute force, we can oblige him. Our drites are bigger and I think our power claws can just snap his drites in half.

Also if we get a good shot with Mjolnir use it and remember Sigma's lessons on not telegraphing.

"You know, I'm kind of out of your league, bub, and it's rather silly to announce exactly what you're doing."
You bring both gauss drites to bear, and start firing. The projectiles spark off of his power shield, doing absolutely nothing.
"Voice activated commands, numbnuts." He responded, and ran towards you.
"Dave? Daave!" Mark's calling. "Whatever the fuck is happening back there, I'm starting to lose my engines! End it quickly!"

You slam your drite forward, but his power shield blasts it back, as he grabs onto you, and throws you across the room, where you screech back. Your drones pop out of your bag, and you start firing with them, too.
"This isn't gonna work for you, Dave." He says. "You see, I have a really, really big power core, you know."
"I have a really, really big gun." you respond, and you shoot him in the face with Mjolnir. The power core in his face explodes, and his head twists back, as he falls to the ground.
"Fuck. You." He says, and as you leap toward him again, the limbs on his back dig a hole in the floor of the VTOL, and he gets sucked out, down toward the ocean below you.

You really want to join 'Project Immortal,' whose primary focus is refusing to die, in diving into the ARCTIC OCEAN, while we're still mostly squishy with fancy power armor? No. We're done, thankfully. Kell shouldn't bother us for a while. But when he does it's probably going to be even worse. Like, he'll be a full on robotic spider.

You are also forgetting that we are practically immortal too. We cannot drown or freeze to death.

>>19127695
Every time we see him we're going to ask him to remind us who he is. It'll frustrate him to no end, the man he is trying to kill, who he is willing to go through great pain to come back from the dead and replace more and more of himself to do so, doesn't remember him, ever.

Also I vote against jumping into the Atlantic Fucking Ocean.

You start to order Onyx to teleport you to him, when you realize that it's probably a really stupid idea- with the VTOL still moving so quickly, his calculations were SURE to be off and then you'd probably end up only teleporting a few things, like your vital organs or something. Not to mention, it's the Arctic Fucking Ocean.

"Screw you too, Kell." You say, and go back into the cockpit.
"What the hell was that?"
"A Cadmium Dynamics cyborg who came back from the dead to kill me." You say. "But I scared him off."
"Scared him off? You mean, off the plane?"
"Uh, yeah. You have a hole in the bottom of your plane, by the way."
"Goddamnit." He says, facepalming.

>>19127740
Look, if you don't want cyberzombies who you barely remember killing the first time in your life don't spend time with me. This is a very big part of my life.

See if we can put a spot fix on the hole in the bottom, we'll do a proper weld when we're back home.

>>19127740
"Hey, he would have crashed the thing otherwise."

"He's not clung to the hull from outside, is he?"

>>19127740

Oh, hey, did we keep any pieces of Kellbot? MITE B GOOD for analysis on who did the rebuild.

rolled 96 = 96

>>19127740
Can we still manage to place his signal? He is using a jamming device. He's also a good bit of distance away from us. But y'know, I really, REALLY want to find him, frozen in a comically cubic ice block, and drag him to EE and make nice/stop CD from getting him back. Seriously, he was just a grumpy IT dude for a paramilitary group, whose life we utterly ruined. He's basically the Cadmium Dynamics version of Dave. Which makes him nearly as cool as the real Dave. I'm prepared to use a fate roll to get this git if we have to, but that'd require consensus on this idea.

Also, Arctic ocean was in retrospect incorrect, I was rushing my typing. The correct term was SOUTHERN Ocean. The Arctic ocean is at the north pole.

You know. This jamming shit is starting to piss me off. It's like a magical asspull device which restricts our powers if we roll low. It is pretty much always the damn jamming that keeps us from hacking otherwise easy targets.

We need to find a way to by-pass it somehow. Like getting a powerful signal booster or something

Time to grab us a Kellsicle.

>>19127795
I'm against using a fate point, but that roll is good enough.

Honestly I don't think he's going to forgive us, it's kind of difficult to forgive getting your neck snapped. But grabbing a Kellsicle could be nice, researching what they've done to him would be useful.

But he might be impossible to find, there's an awful lot of Southern Ocean, especially if he sunk or was picked up.

"Look, if you don't want cyberzombies who you barely remember killing the first time in your life, don't spend time with me. This is a very important poart of my life." You say.

He shrugs. "Good thing I kept an extra drone on board." He says, tossing you a repair drone. "Use this."

You connect to it, and start repairing the hole. You close your eyes, and see if you can try tracking him.

. . Nothing. A whole lot of nothing, as far as your senses can go. Either he's still being jammed, he's not here, or you got too far away, too quickly.

As soon as you sigh and start to repair the hole, you get a very slight ping at the edge of your senses.
It's not Kell, but it's close to where he fell. It's a Cadmium Dynamics heli, close to the water. As you close your eyes, you feel the door of the heli open.

<They're making a pickup, it seems.> Azure says.

>>19127835
Now I REALLY want to port on that heli.

"Mark, I identified the Heli. Mind shooting some rockets at it? Here are the coordinates.
If you get closer, I'll be able to teleport on it."

"Mark. I know you're probably apprehensive about putting him- that cyborg- back on our plane, but he's probably going to be pretty half-dead at this point or outright frozen like something out of a Looney Toons short. And by snatching him we'll be shitting on Cadmium Dynamic's plans, and those guys are dickheads. The ones who keep forcing you to fix all my shit. And who fucked up YOUR PLANE. I can see that they're trying to pick him up, right now... You prepared to turn around and rain on their parade?"

I've always wanted a new helicopter. Onyx how hard would it be to teleport me there, I'd rather not have Kell get away and come back with even more machinery welded to him. That and we might get some valuable research data.

"Mark, I identified the heli. Mind shooting some rockets at it?" You ask.
"This thing doesn't carry rockets." He said. "Or any guns of any kind. It's a cargo plane, Dave."
"Damn. Any chance of getting me closer so I can teleport to it?"
"Now, that, I can do. Want me to wait in Vertical mode for you?" He asks.
"Yes please, and thanks." You say.
<Onyx, warp me.>
<Calculating. . .>

You appear in the heli, and there are three powersuited men standing in front of you, facing away from you. Hmm... it seems the teleportation is completely inaudible.
You can hear Kell cuss as he's climbing up a ladder.

You quickly hack the heli, and it isn't too hard to do- at least not like the one you had to hack on the solo mission. Now you have direct control of it. . so you shove the three powersuits out of the plane. "Sorry, Gentlemen." You say. "I'm afraid you're in my new helicopter."
They turn about in midair, and activate their jetpacks.
Oh. Yeah. You'd forgotten about those.

You start firing with your gauss weapons, your bullets sparking off of their power shields. AGAIN. Fuck, do these gauss drites ever do *anything* useful?

You get your question answered a second later as Kell bursts up and dives at you, and you parry his attack with your own mechandrites. Most of his eye is missing, but you can see long cables moving themselves through his head, seemingly restructuring everything that you'd damaged.

rolled 14 = 14

Okay. The best dynamic entry to date, and some of the most mediocre combat rolls post-entry to date.

I'm guessing this is going to devolve into a slapstick fistfight, with heads bonked on metal bits and people thrown into walls, since of course the troopers probably don't have their guns at the ready, being in a cramped helicopter which kinda needs to not be full of holes and because they don't expect their companies' biggest problem to suddenly teleport the fuck in, before we eventually manage to get control over the situation.

rolled 58 = 58

Dialogue as we grapple and such.

"Hello again, Kell! Sorry to drop in like this, but you kinda did it to me first, so it was only fair I come back. Sorry about the whole 'killing you' thing, I panicked and you got caught in the crossfire as I was trying to stop those Cadmium Dynamics dickheads from illegally shipping horrible weapons of mass murder into the city. Most agents don't think of the mooks, but I don't forget about those poor bastards. Oh, sure, I try not to kill people where I can, but it's inevitable SOMEONE will get hurt. You never expect the goons to make anything of themselves, but hey, look at us now! You get killed by a tentacled death machine's pet drone, I got hit by a bus that shattered my spine completely and crushed tons of my organs, and now we're going all Doc Oc & Spiderman on each other. Though I don't remember the part where Spiderman was a cranky middleaged IT dude with hydraulic legs OR where Doc Oc was a young office worker turned next-generation cyborg, but I feel the analogy works. So why do you fight for these CD dickheads again, exactly? They're not very nice people you know. Kidnapping children, turning people into mindless death machines, the works. Or do you even care? You'd have to be a pretty heartless git to not care about such crimes against humanity, but then again I've seen worse than you so far."

Ah, right. The Fu Ro Dah.

>>19128039
God damn, what the fuck is up with that monologue? Why the shit do we distract ourself with that bullshit.

You grab Kell, and tear off his arm again. It's easier than it was last time, probably due to how damaged the shoulder of his power armor is. He scowls again, and the three powersuits start firing at you, bullets sparking off of your own power shield, and Kell's as well.

You take the chance to install an override into the helicopter and close the heli doors, directing it's weapons against the jetpacked goons as you wrassle with Kell.

You tear off his other hand, and he groans again, eye rolling into the back of his head. He tries to hit you in the torso with his handless arm.
"Hello again, Kell!" you say, ready to start a long, impassioned rant.

But then cables burst out of his wrist and wrap around your torso. Wait, what?

How dangerous is it to use Mjolnir on a point-blank target? Because this might be where we need to do so.

Read through the archives last night.

Lets do this shit.

In response, you push your hand against his torso, and activate the Fus Ro Dah. He gets blown back, *through* the closed door of the heli, and he collides with the three jetpacked men. All four of them go falling, and splash into the water.

<Warning.> The heli warns you. <Self-destruct has been activated. I repeat, Self-destruct has been activated.>
You barge into the cockpit to find the pilot gone, and a strange device attached to the dashboard. On the dash was a sign.
<CELL 7 WAS HERE LOLOLOL>

You see the three men quickly flying away through the cockpit window, carrying Kell as the four of them retreat. One of the suited men turn back to you, and gives you a thumbs up.

Leap out the helicopter and try and land on the nearest ice sheet. Guess we know why Kell's REALLY fighting against us; he bought into Resurgence's shit, with good reason, because we killed the poor bastard out of panic. We could've just held him at gunpoint with a drone, but we acted in haste. As dickheaded as Resurgence is, they're right, sometimes.

GODDOMMOT. One of these days, I'm gonna pulp those obnoxious bastards.

You smash open the cockpit window and start firing Mjolnir at the three men. One blasts into their powershield, but it sparks off, so you fire again and again. He turns the thumbs-up into flipping you off, and then the three of them get out of Mjolnir's range.

So you draw out the Javelin, aim, and fire. It barrels through the air, but he's still looking back at you- so he shoves his two partners away, pushing himself away as well. The javelin blows through Kell's leg, and you can hear his scream from here, but the jetpacked men are all unharmed.

You close your eyes, and put both hands on the device, focusing on deactivating it.
<Five seconds remaining.> You hear. You won't have enough time. You activate bullettime, and dive out of the same hole that Kell had been blown through, and you fall into the water. You immediately start sinking.

"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU FUCKERS!"

You claw through the water, but continue sinking- your powersuit is just plain too dense for you to swim.
At least, until you use the shockwave gauntlet to rocketjump upwards. The water rushes away from you, and you raise. . only a few feet, and then you're back to sinking.
One of your heavy drites catch onto something- A cable of some kind. As you hang on, the cable rises.
"Ahoy." Mark says. "Lucky thing I thought to use that winch. You don't float well, do you?"

Still dripping, you end up back in the cargo room, repairing the hole in the bottom of the VTOL. "You okay back there?" Mark asked.

On my first real mission, where I was stopping a Cadmium Dynamics weapon shipment, he ended up getting shot to prevent an alert that would've botched the whole mission and got myself and everyone involved killed. Plus, Cadmium Dynamics' plans would go un-thwarted. It was sloppy. Cadmium Dynamics turned him into a weapon. At least, I think it was CD, Resurgence can't be well-funded enough to make THAT thing, only steal it. The made him into some sort of anti-Dave. I wanted to stop them from reclaiming him and possibly make nice through kicking his ass and then apologizing for it. You know, like how I somehow made friends out of all the Kawasagi agents. But it wasn't CD picking him up, it was Resurgence. And considering how he became what he is, he's going to eat up Resurgence's shit and become one of them, since I failed to subdue Kell and the Resurgence agents.

You give her the whole story about how you met and killed Kell on the solo mission, and then impersonated him.

"I see." She said, watching the video on her headset. "That prehensile cable thing is pretty freaky, though. He'd need a gen-3 if he was controlling those directly, and I don't think CD has that tech yet." She said. "So my first guess is some kind of AI support."

>>19128570
"Perhaps. I don't know. Freaky though."

"Any plans for the evening?"

"Perhaps. I don't know. Freaky, though." You sigh. "Hey, any plans for the evening?"

"Well, I thought I might work on the Ravens some more, now that Omega delivered the hoverplates." Amy said. "But if you want to do something. . ."

>>19128570

"Considering he had to use voice commands to get it to do stuff? I'd also guess AI support, and nowhere near as integrated as what we're working with. Which is cold comfort when he can just rebuild himself."

>>19128582

You guys are some kind of overly-needy leghumping cyber-puppy.

>>19128601
I'm sure I could think of something, Dinner and going out swing dancing or something like that? We'll be the powersuited couple.

Then we go back to my place and I can introduce you to a very special lady in my life, Ishelda.

>>19128570
"The guy's really, really hard to keep down. And that's coming from me. I have no idea what he'd be like for any non-implantees or the rest of the Agents. And now that he's probably going to become a terrorist, with ample motivation to agree with Resurgence's bullshit, he's probably going to be a big, big problem. We've got Cadmium Dynamics on one front, prepping to try and start total warfare in the city again, Kawasagi on another, who we haven't quite finished our diplomancy duel with, and now Resurgence, who think we're the biggest baddest corp of all because I've shat on their plans. Except EE is only involved in corporate warfare because EVERYONE WANTS MY SPINE. We'd have to turn this place into a damned city-state to survive against everyone out to get us and protect the people from the crossfire. But that's impossible, who in EE would be crazy enough to try an idea like that?"

"I'm sure I could think of something." You say. "Dinner and going out swing dancing or something like that?"
"Well. . I was thinking we could just hang out and watch old movies. I've spent too much time on my feet today. And before you ask, yes, I do get uncomfortable even though they're augments." She said with a grin.

>>19128653
"Alright, that sounds like a plan.
A little relaxed evening. Hope no one crashes it."

>>19128653
Sounds like a plan, though I'm worried that part way through the Princess Bride a cyberninja is going to attack, probably right when Inigo Montoya and the Man in Black are dueling.

>>19128653
"How about the Evil Dead trilogy? I've got the old DVD's and Blu-Ray's somewhere in my old things. Hell, I think I might even have the original VHS tapes."

ask if she wants us to carry her again

Lets watch the count of monte christo

"Alright, that sounds like a plan." You say. "I haven't had a relaxed evening in. . forever. I hope no one crashes it." You say.
She nods. "You're right. It's normal for us, that someone calls for help, or someone shows up with guns, or . . whatever happens, and it messes everything up." She rolls her eyes. "It's times like that when I kind of wish I was normal, right?"
"Hey. . You want me to carry you again?" You ask.
"No!"
"But you've spent too much time on your feet, right?"
She frowns and hits you on the shoulder.

"So. . . Count of Monte Cristo, the Evil Dead trilogy, or Princess Bride?" You ask, flipping through the disks you got from your storage container on the way to Amy's garage-slash-workshop (and, as you learned just now, slash-bedroom-slash-den)
"I've . . never heard of any of those." She responds from the couch, wrapped in blankets.

>>19128744
The Count, the Count!

lets watch em all then!

princess bride first, then the evil dead trilogy followed by the count of monte christo

god help any ninja immortals if we don't get to finish the count

>>19128744
"Respectively, an adaptation of an adventure-revenge story in the 1900's by the same guy who wrote The Three Musketeers, which is awesome, a series of films, in order, a cheap ass shot-on-shiteo straight horror film that was funny as shit and got a horror-comedy sequel and then a lite horror-comedy nearly family-friendly sequel which is awesome, and a fantasy adventure about exactly what it sounds like which is also awesome. Take your pick. Or we can watch 'em all."

>>19128744
I love Count of Monte Cristo and Evil Dead but it's impossible not to like the Princess Bride, it is pretty much my favorite movie, and if she hasn't seen it she must. We'll watch Count afterwards. We'll set up an evil dead trilogy watching later.

We should set up movie nights with her more often, she probably hasn't seen the Marx Brothers or Mel Brooks either.

Also we should get out of our power armor off for this, we can try controlling it remotely and use it to fetch food, popcorn and so on.

Isn't Evil Dead III pretty much completely different movie than first and second, and is much better than both of them? Why watch the first 2?

I'm fine with either choice

rolled 43 = 43

>>19128790
THIS.
REMOTE ARMOR ON.

"ALL OF THEM." You declare, and slip the princess bride into the player. "You did say old movies, you know." You tell her.
"Yeah, but I didn't mean *that* old. You weren't even alive when these came out, were you?"
"Nope." You respond with a chuckle.

Nothing happens out of the ordinary.
That's right, you can hardly believe it either.
No cyborg ninja immortals in power suits show up, nobody gives you a panicked call, Verne doesn't storm into the garage with a twelve-gauge, 'Cell Five wuznt here lololol', nothing.
Just you and the girl you like, spending time to watch hours of awesome movies.

>>19128794
Better in production values, yeah. Each has better production values than the last, each has a completely different feel, each is fucking awesome in its own way.

>>19128810
Awesome.
Cuddle under a warm blanket while watching the movies and eating popcorn

>>19128810
Cuddle under the blankets, sans power armor. Use it as the best robotic manservant ever. This may be one of the few times in the past while we haven't worn that, it's kind of getting to be an extension of our body.

>>19128831
I don't think it work like that.
....But we can make it work like that. We'll have to talk about that to Amy and Mark later.

rolled 41 = 41

>>19128810
... No one here but us and the girl we like, huh? And no random even has come to fuck up our good time. Plus, Amy was, for a time, unattended, and got cut off on the radio back during the bunker assault before we found her knocked out. Not trailed off as she fell unconscious, but was cut off.

Something isn't right. It's quiet. Too quiet.

<Azure. Scan Amy for Natalie-type augmentation. Or for just being a robotic replicant. Actually, both. We've gone way too long without something going wrong and I'm getting really suspicious.>

You wake up in an unfamiliar place. A couch. Odd. Amy's lying on top of you, legless, and snoring. Your power suit is standing in the corner, still active, but it has no orders right now, so it's standing perfectly still. You'd gotten the hang of using it remotely as you used it as a robotic manservant.

<You have been asleep for four hours.> Azure says. Strange, you don't feel any more tired than you were when you'd only slept for eight hours. Perhaps you could go completely without it, but you retain the ability?

You lay there for a moment, wondering what to do with Amy, when the mech, Epona, buzzes. "It's time to wake up, Amy." The mech says. Amy mumbles something.
