The Rescue Drei (open RP/Gaming Guardians Crossover)

Continued from here.Team Overt has received a vision of lurkers demise and is attempting to prevent it in time, travelling to the overcrowded Pyramid Mall. Their target is close, but it's hard to get about, and time is short. Team Covert has escaped To Joshua's Cabin after being confronted with 'police' for the destruction Gorgon had caused, and dimensionally pinned in Anycity. Their freedom was won but may be short lived as greater resources are brought into play by Caine. This thread shall remain open to all participants for it's duration so long as certain Ground Rules are followed. - Participants must have a link to their profile for reference by GM's and other players.
- Participants may post no more the two (2) times in a twenty four (24) hour period.
- Posts should include a BOLD LOCATION HEADER at the top
- Participants should read the events since their last post carefully so as not to ignore the actions of other avatars. Please! We don't want anyone feeling left out!
Wargolem, Lurker37, and I will be the GM's for the thread. Wargolem is the 'main' GM, and is currently handling team covert. (I don't GM my own actions/team). Lurker37 is handling team overt, but I may pitch a hand in. Mobius Rook is a plot device alt played by a GM with GM power, who may or may not appear. This is a loosely-moderated RP, so you will be responsible for the effects of the actions of others on your character. We will be on hand to resolve any disputes that my arise. Have fun!

Pyramid MallTo ShadowWing- "Wait here I think I've got an idea" Schino walks off a moment to a more secluded spot then returns wearing a mall security uniform and holdind a small handheld megaphone. To ShadowWing- "Ok just follow me" To the crowd as he walks towards the clock- "Ok people make way make way we need to get through" he says through the megaphone.

JOSHUA AND FANTASY'S CABINDrew: The puppy from before finds his way out of his hiding place (that being directly behind you) and begins playing in a field of wildflowers. The area is calm and serene; birds chirp, flowers grow with that nice flower smell, and for just a minute team covert manages to forget about the dire perils separating them from Lurker. General Caine: Location verified, Sir.

Joshua's CabinTizak expected to arrive on another street corner, but appearing in the cabin, he looks rather relieved and slips out of commander mode. Looking a bit tired, he moves over to a window and glances outside. "I'd like a vacation.. " Then looks back to everyone. "ahem.. anyway.. Rhiann, or Writer, or anyone, can you mask us somehow so we won't be tracked again? Or know a place we can't be found or bothered? The only place I can think of offhand is the welcome center. I think any police force that can redirect teleports would be able to track us quickly enough. If they dog us continually we won't be getting anything done." Tizak turns back to the window, studying the surroundings. "And they were bloody organized, much more than civilian police or even military usually are. But this is the dream and I guess they're prepared, or robots. Hmf."

Ceera's Dreamworks:Mega-Gal 01 accepts the upgrades readily, and ponders actually absorbing them temporarily into her systen proper in an attempt to correct the stated flaws. However, she does not do so. "Upgrade complete. Ready to rejoin team." And now MG 01 waits to be transported back to the Overt Team... or wherever Ceera sends her... [edit]: D'oh! Missed the facts that I was transported to Porter's Bark, the question, and Lurker's heads up notice (by e-mail no less) that I may want to edit my post. Too late now, as it's been accounted for, but that's what I get for not paying attention...[/edit]

Overt Team; Pryamid Mall
Fim carries carefully over to a directory hanging on the wall, and from there tries to look up a likely area to search. This is actually a good thing since this mean he and Meep have something to push up against when the crowd suddenly comes rushing through on their way to get the announced toy. Both being a little bit behind ShadowWing before she gained her ‘escort’, there is little they can do to gain the protection she has from the crowd.So Fimnai has nothing to do but press up wall, holding Meep up high above his head. Doing anything else would get him washed away with the crowd. Meep on the other hand should be more then able to continue on by way of the wall since Fim is mostly raising her above the crowd and not holding on tight or anything.

Overt Team-Pyramid MallIan decides that he really needs to get out of the stampede. Of course, in this case it's helpful being 7' tall and weighing 450 pounds. Not to mention the scales, teeth, and all the weapons... Ian will make for the nearest stairs (or escalator, which he probably wouldn't notice isn't a normal staircase until he's on it, what with the crowd. He'll use his size to try and clear his way there, possibly giving a loud growling roar to 'persuade' slower-moving traffic to clear the way. His unltimate objective is to get to the top level of the structure, so he can get a better vantage point to look for Lurker. If the security guards get too close, he'll use his tail to trip some of the crowd and hopefully cause a pile-up that the guards can't get through.
--------------------
  And he met the hell of battle in the Highlands and the Low,
And the reason for the fighting long was in his blood to know.
In the middle of the rumble he went forward gaining ground,
And the bagpipes still were piping, as the dead lay all around. from "A Croft in Clachan: The Ballad of Rob MacDunn"

Drew spies the puppy and smiles a small smile. .oO( Good to know the pup is alright ) He taps the glass and watches the pup play for a few moments.Turning to Tizak, Drew's face is grim, "I don't think a residance is the best place for us to be, sir." Taking a quick look around the cabin then continues, "Those police men weren't normals, I think, as their heat parterns don't fit anything I've ever seen, and Rifts has lots of strange creatures. Also we'd best keep movin' round, I think somethin' bigger is after us, aside from da minotaur. Those cops were mighty quick get on the scene after that maze went away..." He sighs, rather frustrated. "Perhaps we should also get hold of the others... things might be going better for them and if we knew their location we possibly could get to them. Just my thoughts on things as they are now, sir."

((OOC: No problem, I expected something like that. ^^;; Gets tough to try and keep track of everything going on.))IC:
Overt team, clambering for the clock
The neutral mad scientist looks at brimstone, following the path he cuts a while, seeming to weigh him. As they find someplace to pause, a thicker section of unmoving people, or perhaps even under the clock he turns to brimstone, and announces, yes, still in that feminine tone, "I haven't been out long, but it would be a pleasure to assume some form of... camradery(spl) between us. The name's Darigen Blake. Here."
He opens his lab coat, moving small vials around before handing brimstone an empty looking vial. "Pure O2, should give you a nice combat edge if inhaled or at least give you something minorly explosive. After all, who worries about empty vials?"
He chuckles. From what little you could see when the coat was opened he has several pockets of seemingly random assorted liquids, two pockets being almost empty. The beam weapon is attached at his chest, held in place by small straps of fabric over his shoulders.

{Joshua's house}I don't know if my Psi shield would block whatever is tracking us, Rhiann's voice says. Also, I've only used it before to protect myself and someone I was holding or carrying. Even if it did work, I don't know how many I could enfold that way. You know, this is beginning to feel like that bunch of Gaming Police that almost trapped us in that dimension when we semi-rescued Lurker and April. They seemed to have some sort of over-boss that ran things from a distance. They found our location very quickly and managed to track us somewhat, though at that time we were unknowns and didn't give them a whole lot of time to do anything. My guess is that we need to keep moving... fast! I also think crowds may be helpful. I could maybe carry one or two people off in a different direction; let them keep in touch by radio or whatever and see what happens. Right now I think we're pulling more attention than the other group. We should let them know and see if we can't reverse the original plan. 
{Pyramid Mall}
The Priestess doesn't feel like going into that press. She continues to move around on the glass ceiling searching the floors below as best she can for Lurker, still unaware of the vision earlier and not knowing necessarily where to look.

Overt Team - Pyramid MallForsyth hears the announcement and watches the crowd stampede into the middle of the Mall. Well, THAT sucks... He points out the flaw in this plan via the comms. ##If one of you did that, WHY, exactly, did you send everyone to the center of the mall? We want shoppers OUT of the line of fire.## That comment made, he continues toward the security room, even after ShadowWing's announcement. It's the right direction anyway. And maybe I can get the people out of here. Or find Lurker. Hmm..."Found, one coat and fedora..." Wonder what that would draw out of the woodwork. He continues along, on the banners and lights and so on, replying over the comms, ##I'm headed for the security center still. And everybody watch out, this could be a trap by that guy in the black armor or something. Make sure we stop him this time.## Forsyth spots his target, the door still ajar a tiny bit from Pingu's entrance. Even though the crowd's thinned, there's still people around, so he doesn't bother opening the door exactly, he lets go of the last handhold as he swings, tucks, and rolls as he (hopefully) knocks the door aside. (OOC: First reaction, after seeing Pingu, will be to find something to make an announcement on, to try and get people out of the middle of the Mall. Feel free to handle that if you'd like, Pingu.)

GM Post - Overt Team. [We've got a few people yet to post this round, but we're on a time limit due to the impending move, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to update now. Those who are yet to update may do more in their next post to catch up.] [BTW, it occurs to me that some may be waiting for confirmation of actions a round or two ago. If I have not said that an action failed, then it succeeded.] Communications
The Mall's superstructure appears to be acting as a Faraday Cage. No communications from outside to inside or from inside to outside are possible, although communications between people inside the structure still work. Two minutes before the time shown in the vision. Porter's Bark Mega-Gal, preoccupied with the upgrade process, has failed to notice that she has been teleported onto Porter's ship, let alone that she has been asked a question. Ceera and Carl may still act, if they so choose, Carl's communicator having failed to reach ShadowWing, or any other member of the Overt Team except for Mega-Gal, who of course ignored it. Above Pyramid Mall
Rhiann is unable to make out much from out here at this point. The Mall is, after all, over twenty stories high. Pyramid Mall
The crowd around Fimnai and Meep flows past, leaving them unscathed and able to move fairly easily through the now-less-crowded Mall. The newly-carded (congrats!) Ian is able to clear a path quite easily, and leaves a sprawl of tripped shoppers behind him as he makes for the escalators. He, ShadowWing, Shiniropath, Tarlin, Rapnoid, Brimstone and Cap'n Trips, er Guy, er Darigen all meet on said escalators on the way up, leaving a wake of terrified shoppers behind them. As of this post they will reach the fourth floor - still two floors below where they need to be. Porter's teleport only took him to the third level - there were just too many banners and signs blocking the way to see a clear spot higher up. He can, however, now see a clear place to teleport to on the sixth floor, near the clock. Writer's search has in fact reached the sixth floor by now. Looking over to the clock - a giant pocketwatch suspended over a seating area, he can just make out a black fedora in the crowd, then it lowers down out of sight. The Kid, sitting on one of the benches under the clock, is approached by someone. "Are you alright, little one?". Yet to raise his head, all that Kid can tell at this point is that whoever is addressing him is wearing a long black coat, and has no visible legs or feet. In the security Room, Forsyth and Pingu can see a floating hat and coat squatting down to talk to the Kid. [PM For Tizak]

Team Overt- Pyramid Mall Tim looks up towards the clock, as he walks along behind ShadowWing and the others. "Right... We need to be up there now. I'm teleporting. Anyone that wants to come with me, grab on, but I can't take more than two people..." Tim begins spellcasting, not waiting for a reply. He is attempting to port directly to the sixth floor, but may be diverted.

Pyramid Mall - Security Room "And there he is. Thank you. Have a gift." This came from behind Pingu and Forsyth. The voice is unmistakable. A hissing metalic sphere the size of a baseball is dropped on the floor with a *ping*, a black portal shuts.
Pyramid Mall - 6th Floor
A portal opens a few dozen feet from the clock where Kid and the coat are. Metalic feet click on the tile flooring. Mobius decloaks right away, wasting no time. Both arms already charged, he launches one orb of black-purple energy across the way at a throng of shoppers. Getting a clear shot a second later, another goes directly at Kid and the coat. The shots bend light around them as they go. Twin racks on Mobius' shoulders open up, aim at the open area that people are flying around or teleporting through, and begins saturating the area with micromissile fire. The micromissiles are left unguided to whiz about between floors and shops at random. As people invaribly start to run around in a panic, Mobius keeps near a throng of them to use as shields. (Any attempts to redirect shots via portal automatically fail, Mobius counters them as fast as they can be made.)

Kid looks up at the floating coat and smiles."Me's feeling better... hey is you who the lady is lookin for?" #edit# As Mobius starts launching his attacks it seems his own portals begin redirecting the attacks away from both Kid and anyone else and as soon as these are re-re-directed by his portals again they are then re-re-re-directed and... ok I think you get the general idea. "Why mean man attack me done nuthin wrong oh well mean man go bye bye" One of Mobius's portals opens up beneath him and will most likely dump him in front of ShadowWing an co.

Pyramid Mall - 6th FloorKid: Mobius' ability to open portals is made possible with split second timing and supplimental computation able to him naturally as an android (not copyable by power cloning). Text commands requiring input flood your vision as crisp green microfont. [Command: portal.open s-cor x,y,z e-cor t,u,v ang a hgt b wid c]. You can make a few portals open at random location, size, and angle if you struggle with it and mentally plug numbers into varibles. Mobius' attack and position are unaffected.
Joshua's Cabin
"Joshua, many thanks for your help so far." Tizak goes back into command mode, his 5 second break of staring out the window over. "Alright, evasion or contact... Evasion first. We're probably being tracked, and a police force is likely within seconds of any plausible comms range of the other team to nab us. Let's teleport. Writer, pick a random spot. Joshua, the second we land, send us to another random spot. They'll likely have problems pinpointing us if we bounce about so quickly." "We then immediatly go to the dragon's (nods to her) home with a better chance of safety. From there we can bounce some of us back to the outpost and stealth-jaunt to the welcome center to contact our other team. Hopefully they won't be able to keep up. We could be pinned down at the welcome center, but they can't really capture us there." [edit: clarified myself a little]

Assault Carrier Preventative Measures"Sir, the investigation team has arrived in Anycity, and we have re-established a lock on the signals. Shall we pursue?" “They by-passed a portal blocker, XO. What makes you think they won’t be able to do that again? And suppose they have other techniques of translocation as well as portalling? Do you really want a combat-oriented group which has the patronage of a goddess translocating into the ship? We’d be ripped to pieces in seconds.” “Then perhaps assembling a flee….” ”Another smart idea. Arrive with a fleet, start shooting, then watch helplessly as they portal into the ship with the biggest guns, and turn those guns against the rest of the fleet.” “So what then sir?” ”Another ‘coincidence’, XO. One designed to remove the source of our troubles. Sensors. Where are they located?” “Checking the map now sir… Sir! They appear to have translocated to a small cabin in a large wood.” ”Sensors, give me the co-ordinates. Thank you. Comms, send this coded message to this mailbox” ----------------------------------------------------------- Foldship Calm Horizons “Sir! Sir!” Muritz was growing heartily sick of BB. Why he had let his brother persuade him to take him on was beyond him. “Yes, BB?” “Another eyes-only for you, sir!” “….. BB” “Yes sir?” “You know what eyes-only is, don’t you?” “Yes sir!” “SO STOP TRYING TO READ MY MESSAGE AND GET BACK TO WORK!” “Sir!!” There. That felt a LOT better. Perhaps BB was useful for something after all. Muritz scanned the paper, the crumpled and ate it. Yech. “Navigator” “Yep?” “Yep?” “Yep, sir?” “*sigh* Course correction. We need to stop off here first and pick up some goods, then deliver them to this location.” “Let’s see it…. Okay… no worries. We ready to go sir?” “First Officer?” “We’re ready sir” “Then let’s go.” The foldship faded out…..

GM Post - Overt team Minor Update
[ I originally came on just to amend my omission of Tim from the last update, but I see that more pressing matters have arisen...] The party has started two minutes early [Thanks to Denzine, who helped me tone this post down from NC-17 to PG-13.  ] Everyone will hear the shots and explosions at this point, including Rhiann and those inside Porter's Bark. Large sections of structure, including load-bearing beams, explode into shrapnel, killing and maiming scores of shoppers, or implode, leaving small orbs of stone, metal and shoppers lying in spherical craters hollowed out of the same stuff - the partially caught die horribly. Shop windows explode outwards, spraying tightly packed crowds with razer-sharp shards of glass. Mothers hold their critically injured children. The screams of the dying and the wails of those who have suddenly lost family drown out the muzak through the speakers. The shot launched directly at Kid and his new friend is unaffected. [The Kid wasn't able to get a portal to block it - I'm afraid that I second Tizak's ruling that it is too hard to run the mental arithmatic when you don't know what the numbers stand for, let alone what units are being used.] [I'm afraid that no-one else is close enough to see what is going on until after the implosions, so: ] The Kid finds himself roughly pushed out of the way and does not see what happens next. There is the sound of a huge implosion back where he just was, then the chain the clock is hanging from breaks. Pingu and Forsyth's view of proceedings is a little better. They can't see exactly what happens, at first, but the implosions remove the people who were blocking their view, leaving only a few messy pieces behind. They see the implosion ball detonate. The coat somehow escapes the blast, but goes limp in midair, and then the clock begins to fall directly onto it. There is no sign of the hat. Writer sees pretty much the same as Pingu and Forsyth. It's only after the implosions that he regains clear sight of the now limp ever-lovin' Coat. The entire Mall structure shudders. The escalators grind to a sudden halt. A lift plummets towards the basement, the glass walls allowing you to clearly see the screaming occupants. This is no longer a shopping complex. It is a nightmare. [Mobius's post effectively started a new round. Everyone who has not posted since his post gets an action. I'm just filling in the side-effects and collateral damage. Tim is still waiting for a second response to his offer, Pingu and Forsyth have an unexpected gift to deal with, and most of the team are at least two floors away from the combat zone.] [Up to Mobius as to whether he'll allow the Kid to be accurate enough to open a portal under him]

Overt team, before the havoc.
((  Cap'n trips? Ah well, probably an inside joke.))
He continues up the escalators, using the mechanical appendages to move people aside as need be. This wasn't so bad, 2 minutes to go, and only two floors left to climb.
And then the havoc hits.
He curses under his breath, looking around, the reflective surfaces of his glasses blocking out his eyes as he scans the damage, and tries to keep an eye out for oncoming micromissles. Bah! Whoever ws doing this was fighting a war of media as much as handling whatever personal agenda they had, there was just too much damage for people to not get blamed.
So be it.
With a slight grin and an idea in mind Darigen begins to hunt down any mostly intact hardware and/or computer store.

PORTER'S BARKAfter a moment, or what seems like a moment to her, the battle android realizes that she had disconnected from external events and replays the past few minutes, involving her transport to Porter's Bark and Beta's question... quote:
"I am Beta, the AI of this ship. I see that you are also a non-organic intelligence. Please identify, and state your purpose."
"This unit is designated Mega-Gal 01, prototype battle android of the Mega-Gal series, a product of Mecharacter Incorperated, serving the android needs of the Chaos Zone for the past twenty-seven cycles." MG 01 blinks at the automated demo advert that she just spouted off. Any further responce is cut off when her sensors register the comotion and a familiar set of energy signatures at the nearby Mall. "Proximety of technological opponent (formerly misidentifies as a mage) detected (exact location undetermined). Detonation of gravity mines detected. Likelyhood of local civilian casualties due to location of implosions 98% (ratio serious/fatal unknown). Rescue protocals suspended. Vendetta protocals coming on-line. Limiters disengaged. Acquiring target. Proceding with extreme prejudice." There is no further internal debate as to whether or not MG 01 integrates Ceera's upgrades for improved efficiancy. She simply does so. Rather than litterally absorbing them, however, she invades them with wires, cables, and dedicated nanites. For the time being, MG 01 is litterally one and the same with the equipment provided by Ceera. "Either transport me directly to the combat zone, or open a hatch so that I may go myself." Mega-Gal Unit Zero One's eyes begin to glow red from within.
