The PORPS Trial RP #1-The Folly of Paradise

[Azurel]

ooc: -coughs- I'm sorry, I didn't know everyone was waiting on me, plus guild wars came out, plus therin completely ruined any thought processes I had by making us in sand. For reference, because I really don't have the imagination to reinvent this machine to work with sand, I'm just going to say it somehow projects the highway behind it and it stays there.

A row of lights on the dashboard to Vaos' right side lit up in sequence. They were system check lights, and all but the last one were an orangish-yellow. The last one was white, and it indicated that all systems were ready. Vaos stood up, crouched from the low ceiling of the cockpit, and walked to the door that went outside. He stood at the doorway and shouted "Let's go!"

He resumedd his seat in the front cabin and threw a lever forward, almost all the way. Too fast and the machine may break down; the top speed was mainly for transporting the machine when it wasn't building highways. Vaos looked up at the monitor and watched as the highway was being projected in the machine's wake. The treads gripped the sand oddly, but managed to get the machine moving forward.

OOC:steady steady hee hee hee

All was progressing well enough without a hitch. Though as the day began to drag on and the sun set. An eerie calm went over the countryside. The wind had stopped for only a second, but it was enough to sense what was coming. The ground shook lightly in a rythmic motion. Almost like the sound of drums becoming louder. Some guards looked over the eastern edge of the road and were taken aback in pure shock. The creatures were roughly ten feet tall, had lanky limbs with sharp claws at the end, and had faces resembling that of animals yet heavily distorted with rage and aggresion.

"SOUND THE ALARM THE BEASTS ARE COMING!!!" The sirens were activated as a full alert was put into motion. All the troops took formation just outside of the highway to prevent any damage. That was when the creatures began to roar. It pierced the sky and the ears of all the soldiers with terrifying force.

*Near the generator*

Problems had begun to surface there as well as similar creatures were coming out of the ocean. Like the others on the land only more similar to fish and other sea life. The only solace the sci. and eng. could take is that the facility was fortified with a steel wall around the coast. The monsters assaulted the wall, small dents being made in it. Slowly but surely they would eventually break through.

"Mayday mayday we have a massive monster assault. We need backup or we will not be able to last the night...."

[Silver Adept]

"Seiren! This is not what I had in mind." He retreated into the cab as the driver opened a box, took out a sidearm and give it to him.

"It's a pea-shooter," he said, "and it'll only work well at close range, but it's better than nothing. You know how to shoot that thing?"

"Yeah." Aaron pocketed the pistol. He hadn't lied. He just knew that it was going to take very close range before he would shoot with the thing, that's all.

"Good. Now stay in here until it's all clear."

We'll see about that. If you do your jobs competently, then I can do mine effectively. If all goes well, I might finally be able to figure out what MageTech does to people.

The solider jumped out and began to move toward the nearest squad. Aaron, once the solider was out, kept his eyes out the window, looking for objects that might terminate his study prematurely, but keeping, for now, a focus on the mutants and their behavior.

[Ultrawolf]

Wirewolf's eyes flashed with a red glow.
Fenris lifted the ARX rifle charged with Incendiary ammunition.
He leaped over the balcony in swift motion.
The Wirewolf's Phoenix Wings extended and the Ultra-Lite engines propelled him towards the target.

"No Time to waste, let's get it done Computer!"

-Searching...-
-Target Locked-

Fenris unloaded a volley of explosive ammunition upon the generator.

[Tobias]

His gut turned over as he gripped his rifle tightly. Quickly, he snapped the cartridge up, the gun adjusting in his grip as he moved parts around quickly. The sergent's rifle was more suited for different kinds of combat, giving the ability to snipe, volley, and blast concussively, depleating different amounts of ammunition. The stock of the rifle turned upwards and the center opened, revealing a small nav-computer for ideal sniping. The barrel opened further out, giving it a longer reach, and a more direct shot. Zeke took aim and yelled the command: "Snipers! Take a target and hold it steady. Wait for the nav computers to read 100 meters!"

Orders went into his comm-link, attatchd to his shoulder: "I need all artillery soldiers to be ready...I want two artillery shooters per squad of sniping soldiers, and I want foot soldiers to provide cover fire for them!"

He heard the gunfire at the generator, and the frequency of the comm-link hummed as it adjusted itself: "37A and B, there's a disturbance on the generator. Find out what it is, and eliminate it, make sure though to keep yourselves focused...I've seen some of the stuff you guys are capable of...just make sure to not let it get out of hand."

"I'll have another unit of men up there after the initial raid is up. Conserve your men...they are NOT expendable."

Zeke Adjusted the frequency once more, snapping the oceanic perimeter into the open frequency and sending through more orders: "Units seven and twelve, you are the closest to that point, split your units and have the halves meet at the oceanic barrier. Keep the artillery to a minimum, and away from the barrier. Other than that...fire at will."

Zeke opened the comm-link to every frequency; he needed to be able to hear everything on the battlefield from every unit leader.
He looked through the scope: 103 meters. The discharge set off a chain reaction volley of multi-colored streaks that tore across the open plains.

His gut still turned inside.

[Ultrawolf]

The Wirewolf began strafing to avoid the fire.
His jets were fast, hopefully they would be fast enough.
As he continued to fire with the ARX, Fenris issued a command.

"Computer, Launch a Sonic Grenade at the soldiers."

-Targeting location of Maximum Disruption...-
-Target Locked-
-Prepping....-
-Launching Sonic Pulse Grenade-

A panel on the Wirewolf's shoulder popped open and launched the small globe towards the soldiers. Upon impact it would begin pulsing a sonic pulse to hopefully disrupt the soldier's concentration. Distract them even for a moment while he continued to fire at the Generator.

Joe stumbled across the jittering roof of the support pounder as the thunder of massive feet shook the ground beneath like a river sifter looking for gold. Clumsily, bashing his head in the process, he dropped into the cabin of the huge vehicle. His hand gripped the passenger seat armrest, while the other massaged his forehead. That would leave a mark later in the day, he thought, wincing. He looked around the cockpit, wishing he had thought to bring something to drink; after seeing those huge monstrosities, he had discovered a sudden desire for alcohol. He glaced over at his boss, hunched over the controls. So antisocial, he thought with an inward sigh. Least the man could've done was say hello. Joe decided to take the conversation into his own hands, looking at Vaos again.

"So, Boss, any idea what's going on out there?"

Silence.

"Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a map in here somewhere, would you?"

[Diablo]

Zomick looked up and towards the genrator,explosions, not good. The fusionist stood up holding the now clean and asembled sniper and ran over to a ideal sniper point. When he reached his spot he was around 90 meters away from something robotic. Zomick pulled out two syringes, B and D. He enjected both into him, now having 20x his naturel speed fro, B he could quickl target shoot and move on before a creatur could make a second guess and as for D, he thought quicker, which helped keep the syringe B effective and easier to use.

Zomick targeted a random creature he thought straying to close and popped him, quick and easy but it was odd, he could see the slugg move towards the THING like it was in slow motion. Zom cracked open a com link and paused for a moment, "Sirs, we got something robotic down by the generator! I'm engaging..... now!" The com link snapped off and he fired 4 shots at the mechanical creature, and then reloaded and brought the gun back up, he looked through the scope, he couldn't believe he managed to reload his gun before the bullets hit the robot. Zomick was about to fire another clip at it but stopped, he waited to see what the sluggs would do.

[Tobias]

Zeke caught the comm-response from the fusionist unit, and continued firing: "37A and B! Your assistance is most needed at the generator! I want those spare units to head over double time!"

The rifle fired off another round, and let off a loud cracking sound: The clip had worn and needed time to charge. The rifle clip released, and Zeke shoved the crimson clip into the side, the dark red began to emulate a burning flame inside as Zeke pulled the clip around, forcing the long barrel into the gun, and the scope popped off, Zeke inserting it back into the stock of the rifle. He aimed carefully, and fired, instead of a sharp bolt, instead, a large ball of flame tore from the snubbed barrel, colliding into the ground and exploding into a violent blast.

[Nogrick]

Garus was heading back to the generator when he was cut off by the beasts. "Damnit! Of all the people, I get stuck fighting the little fight." Then Garus thought to himself that these creatures could do some damage as well. If everyone was worried about the mech, then no one would have even seen these guys.

The screeching beasts drove Garus down for a moment. The sound was horrifying and almost too much to bare. "C'mon man. This is no time to back down. I have to fight them. I'm a MAGITECH KNIGHT!!!!"

Garus squeezed the trigger on the gun given to him by the sargent. The screeching stopped some and the beasts began push in on Garus. He managed to take a few of them down before the pistol ran out of bullets. It was then he pulled out his sword and launched himself into the fray...
