  1. Part 7

    Location: an Abandoned Aeon Corp Laboratory

    The machine stood its sensors trying to analyse an ancient earthen jar. Just hours previous the jar had been full of blood.

    “Got this off some creep, guy said it was the blood of mystical heroes killed in a long ago war.” Had said the team member who had provided the find.

    True the sample filled in the most visible flaw in the viruses design the fact it couldn’t detect a being with powers granted from magic.

    >Emotion: Frustration

    But the sample had proven more than the machine could analyse, every time it seemed to get a fix on one sample of genetic material it would be replaced with the material of another long dead mystic.

    So far rather than help the progress of the virus the sample was causing hindrance.


    Location: Warburg Arachnos Side. Holding Cell E

    The girl sat listening in part to the hum of the force door that kept her within the cell and partially to the progress of the virus.

    Long before her ears picked up the footsteps her new sensors had detected, calculated and categorised the approaching person.

    A figure approached as it stepped from the shadows it was obviously a women, her tight body suit leaving little to the imagination, her face though was hidden by a tall tower like helm.

    The woman walked up to the cell door and placed a hand either side of it with a brief hum, the door flickered and disappeared.

    Silently she stood watching the little girl, minutes passed before she spoke.

    “So little thing, what were you doing watching our work in Warburg?” she asked

    “Please miss I didn’t know I was doing any wrong, I’m sorry please don’t hurt me I won’t do it again!” the girl wailed

    “Don’t take me for a fool child, you may act scarred but I can see your mind, what little is left of it!” The woman snapped

    The girl fell silent.

    “Now girl what are you? You seem young for a freak show and yet you have machines inserted into your body, an experiment perhaps escaped from a lab” the woman questioned her tone and manner imperial
    “This one is Battle Unit Omega. This unit is a soldier of the new age” any hint of emotion was gone from the girl’s voice.

    “Ahh the machine that serves the anarchist Oswald. You are not quite what the files make you out to be” the Fortuna said, though she began to back away cautiously

    After she had backed up a few steps she seemed to regain her composure.

    “So what are Oswald’s interests in Warburg girl?” the Fortuna asked

    A brief smile flashed across the girls face.

    “A dispersal systems for a viral weapon.” She said

    “I see, I must inform my superiors of this” the Fortuna said turning to leave

    But before she could take a step a small arm had grabbed hold of her holding her fast. She turned the girl has one arm clamped around her leg in the other she held a mechanical doll.

    >Prepare Combat System

    “Before you go miss, play with me” the girl said smiling up at the Fortuna

    “Let me go you idiot child!” the Fortuna said beginning to panic; the girl was far stronger than she looked.

    “Oh well, then you will have to play with my brother. Wake up brother we have work to do.” The girl said as she threw the doll into the corner.

    With crackles of electricity and the whirring of gears the doll expanded until it stood taller than the girl.

    “Battle Unit Omega. Frame Type Drone. Number One online” the doll said as its sensors lit up a dull red.

    “Combat systems to maximum. We shall return to base” the girl said letting go off the Fortunas leg.

    The Fortuna for her part was a good runner but she wasn’t as fast as light, she barely made it through the cell door before she was cut down by laser fire.
  2. ((Welcome back man, been awhile ^^
    1. Sure I welcome pretty much anyone who wants to join.

    2.Currently the virus does not effect magically enhanced humans, since it cannot detect magic it regards them as a normal human. The said it does effect half humans, for example a half-elf, half-dragon or vampire blooded human, since it picks up on their human but not status which is the trigger to the virus.

    3.It effects any one whose basically geno-ollogy is human, so mutants of any generation, that aren't say a mutant dog (i.e a dog that turned into a man not a man-dog).

    Currently it doesn't have an effect on tech enhanced humans either.

    Though of course the front are still seeking DNA samples to enhance it MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA))
  3. ((This a general hey can i get in on the plotline moment for those hero side who want to join. Those with scientific knowledge could be called either in their hero or citizen persona, the rest a general call has gone out to anyone with Longbow associations that they need help with something))

    Part 6: The Call

    The Longbow Commander looked around at the assembled heroes and scientists packed into the conference hall. A stocky man nothing showed his powered status except for the faint blue glow in coming from his eyes. Walking onto a platform he stood behind a set of microphones. Taking off his helmet and placing it on the desk.

    “Good evening gentlemen, you are all here either because of your expertise in your fields or because we feel you more suited to survive this mission” he addresses the room his voice being carried over the speaker systems

    “As you already know from reading the brief, yesterday morning the Republic of Guarm suffered a viral outbreak of catastrophic levels’ he paused before continuing

    “This virus appears to be of man made origin” he stated pausing to allow the out raged cries of disbelief and curses of the crowd to die down.

    “At eighteen hundred hours this figure was seen entering the city of Paubec by the western gates”

    He presses a button and behind a slide is projected on to the wall behind him.

    It shows a large armoured figure, its armour a sleek black, on its chest is painted the symbol of a clenched fist, and its helmet is skull like and painted a blood red.

    “This figure is known to us as the machine villain, Battle Unit Omega whose primary areas of operation are the Rogue Islands and Paragon city”

    He presses another button and the slide is replaced with one listing various facts about Battle Unit Omega.

    “The machine known as BUO works for the Terra Liberation Front a group directed by Doctor Hermann Oswald who I’m sure you are more familiar with under the name Hatesman”

    He clicks again and another slide appears.

    “The machine BUO began destruction of public property, incurring fifteen fatalities at eighteen hours thirty minutes, due to the closeness of the Lion force, Paubec cities stationed hero team they approached the target at eighteen hours forty minutes”

    The slide shows the registered hero I.D of three heroes.

    “This was to prove fatal to two of the forces members; the machine sprayed them with a direct dose of the viral weapon. In the case of their leader Proud King Lion the virus caused his powers to activate beyond what his body could cope with, the second fatality was Brave Soldier Ant whose exposure caused his body to kill of the cells which granted him his powers, he was later killed after being used by BUO as a trap to infect operatives of Longbow”

    He clicks again and a slide saying simply What We Know appears

    “From the casualty reports from the island we know this. The virus only attacks those with powers. Those that are infected are either killed by their powers going out of control or have them negated as their body kills them off. Those that survive continue to carry the infection. The infection is spread via air, touch and any liquid from an infected person”

    He clicks again the slide now reads what we don’t know.

    “We don’t know how long some one stays infected. We don’t know how the virus copes with powers granted by mystic sources or those granted by technological upgrades. We don’t know if normal citizens can carry the virus infecting those with genetic powers or if the virus simply passes them by”

    He clicks again and the slide is replaced with one that says what now?

    “You’ll now be split into two operations. Operation Elixir you will head to Guarm and try to isolate the virus so we can work on a cure or at least a vaccination. Operation Retribution will be responsible for hunting the machine down and stopping it from infecting others.”

    He clears his throat

    “Operation Elixir has several rules. Do not remove your hazmat suits. Do not let the infected bleed on you. Do not share body fluids with the infected. Break these rules and you stay there we can’t risk the outbreak spreading to this base”

    “Operation Retribution, do not engage the target in a heavily populated area. When encountered notify me and we will seek to teleport the target to a sealed location for destruction’

    The commander picked up his helmet and put it back on.

    “You are dismissed ladies and gentlemen… and good luck”
  4. Part 5

    The machine stood the evening sun glinting off its metal body. The sun died the simple buildings in the city below a blood red. This colour the machine knew would soon be an actuality.

    >Location: Republic of Quarm Begin: Viral Weapon Test

    The machine moved towards the city walking as if unaware of the invisible silent death that trailed behind it.

    As it walked the streets it noted that several of the people it passed suffered a sudden drop in vital signs, evidence that the virus was beginning to take effect.

    >Viral Weapon Test: Stage One Air release mechanisms functional.

    >Move to Stage Two: Combat Efficiency Test. Cause Incident: Draw Target Class: Heroes to location

    The machine paused as it changed tactics looking round it targeted a parked car. Lifting the machine and its occupant above its head it hurled it into the side of a building causing an explosion, again and again it hurled vehicles into buildings aiming to cause as much disruption and noise as possible.

    After a few minutes had passed the machine stopped as it detected targets approaching it.

    Thee figures landed not far from the machine in what they obviously thought to be its blind spot.

    The machine studied them from its rear sensors.

    >Accessing Registered Hero log…. Comparing Records.

    >Target: One: Hero Name Designation: Proud King Lion. Front line Fighter: Fire Manipulation Ability

    >Target: Two: Hero Name Designation: Brave Soldier Ant: Front Line Fighter: Enhanced Strength and Reflexes

    >Target Three: Hero Name Designation: Wise Doctor Turtle: Combat Mode Unknown: Powers Unknown

    >Information Noted Prepare Close Range Weapon test.

    The machine spun to face the three heroes.

    “Targets: In the name of Hatesman prepare to be silenced” its audio devices blared giving its words the effect of a shout.

    “Your gunna pay for all dis man” King Lion said

    “Ant with me Doctor do your thing!” he ordered rushing to attack.

    The machine waited its sensors measuring and processors calculating effective ranges, as the two heroes got with in ten feet of the machine it raised its arms and sprayed a blast of viral death at them.

    The effects on Proud King Lion were most direct and devastating, he roared and screamed as the virus caused his powers to enter an over drive creating more flame than his body could cope with, finally with a blazing flash he burned away to ashes.

    No effect was visible to Brave Soldier Ant but as he kicked the machine with a blow capable of shattering rocks and uprooting trees he gasped as his foot broke under the impact.

    “My powers? What did you do to me?” he half snarled half wept from between gritted teeth.

    >One Target Suffered: Symptom Negation Second Target Suffered: Symptom Power Overdrive

    >Locate the third target and test him.

    The machine spun trying to locate the hero known as Wise Doctor Owl.

    Lifting the weeping Soldier Ant up by the throat the machine slammed him against a wall

    “Where is your team mate query?” the machine asked its head bar inches from the struggling heroes face.

    “He’s gone to get help, you gunna be taken down big style villain” the soldier ant said with a sneer

    “No doubt he will seek assistance from the local Longbow base” the machine said unclipping something from its side.

    >Begin Operation: Cats paw query?

    >Confirmed: Begin operation.

    Holding the struggling Soldier ant by his head the machine forced a tube like device into his mouth, by covering his nose and holding another metallic hand over his mouth he forced the Soldier to swallow it, then the machine broke his jaw, his legs and both arms.

    “This Unit suggest you make your peace. Your time is limited. Rejoice However: Your Death shall bring situation: liberation to this land” the machine said as it sprinted away.

    As the Wise Doctor and his helpers arrived they found the mutilated form of the Brave Soldier Ant, and warily approached it.

    “You okay child?” the Doctor asked his armoured form carefully steeping over the debris left by the exploding cars

    As he reached the soldier however he jumped back with a curse, the soldiers stomach was rapidly expanding, and with the sound of tearing flesh burst spraying the Doctor and Longbow agents with blood and invisible death.

    Those that did not die immediately carried it to others and soon the entire island was under quarantine.

    The machine its task completed headed back to base unaware of events that were unfolding against it.
  5. Part 4.

    The girl cast furtive looks around her, as she led a caped figure towards a dark warehouse.

    “He’s in here, he’s mad he’s turn kids into robot killing machines Miss you’ve got to help us” the girl pleaded.

    The cape figure stood for a moment in the light; she was covered in fur and was only slightly more human than she was feline.

    “Don’t worry you’ll be okay, Nyoooow lead the way” the caped woman voice was odd almost as if her teeth didn’t suit her mouth.

    They moved through the dark warehouse

    “Nyo guards?” the caped cat-woman asked

    “He says he doesn’t need them now he has us!” the girl said motioning the woman to follow her.

    They twisted and turned their way through corridors until eventually they reached a large medical laboratory. The room was half lit with a singular bulb providing the light in its centre stood a large black and silver winged figure waving its hands madly.

    Streaking forward the cat-woman leapt into the room

    “Bad man I stop you nyowww!” she screamed.

    The figure turned and asked

    “Who are you and what do you want query?”

    “The names She-line and I want a cheeseburger and fries but right nyowww I’ll settle for justice” the cat-woman said while prowling round the armoured figure.

    “Get out of here kid its going to get a little hairy” said she-line as she prepared to pounce.

    The winged figure watched the prowling She-line

    “The Time: Now Activate the Containment Protocols.” It said

    “Confirmed Systems Active” the girl said as she left the room, behind her blast doors slammed down.

    “Wha? Wha? Going on nyoww?” She-line screamed as she attacked

    The machines sensors felt her bones crack as it hit her with a double handed blow.

    “Sample Obtained: Prepare for Testing” the machine reached out for the cat-woman only to hear her bones snap back into place, as she launched an attack sinking her claws into the machines shoulders.

    “GOT YOU NYOW! SHE-LINE HEAL GOOD!” she exalted as she stabbed the machine repeatedly.

    A viewing screen flickered into life above the two fighting; it displayed the girl at a row of controls.

    “Location Reached. Activate Viral Test Query?” she asked.

    “Activate: Test” the machine intoned smashing repeatedly at the furious She-line

    A brief red mist spiralled down on to the two.

    Its affect on She-Line were immediate and evident letting out a yowl of pain she dropped to the floor writhing in agony as blood streamed from her eyes nose and mouth. Her body continued to wrack and twist as more and more liquids streamed out of her. The writhing stopped suddenly and she stopped screaming and was reduced only to whimpering, that too stopped as she was reduced to little more than bones and goo, even her skin had broken down completely.

    The machine and girl were shocked they had not expected such a reaction from the virus.

    {Evidently the samples increased healing rate caused her bodies defences to be extra effective at attacking herself.

    The machine moved over to the remains of the hero and gathered them into a sample tube. Placing it in a large safe the machine returned to the centre of the room

    “Engage: Scorch: Protocol” the machine intoned.

    “Confirmed” the girl responded pressing a button.

    The machine, the room and its equipment were engulfed in flames for fully five minutes as they died out the machine glowing red hot intoned

    “Process: Cleanse Through: Flame: Complete” it said as it cooled.

    A small part of its arm started to blink red; pressing it with the other arm it heard a voice.

    “You owe me you one you idiot machine, I’ve just cleaned up your stupid mistake! Jimmy No nose won’t be informing on any one again” the voice said.

    The girl smiled the machine if it could would of also.

    {The Plan Progresses Well




    ((The two characters I'm using in this plot are called Battle Unit Omega and Battle.Unit Omega))
  6. ((oh any participants advice etc are greatly appreciated))
  7. Part 3

    It had the machine surmised as it looked at the angry faces of the crowd been a mistake to answer truth why it was asking registered heroes for DNA samples

    {Assumption: That Heroes would donate blood willingly to stop virus targeting Target Group: Sheep has proven: incorrect

    {Next Time: Attempt: Subterfuge

    The machine paused listening to the crowd. Several of them gave threats, some it considered others dismissed out of hand as being impossible others he began to prepare plans against.

    {Sample Prime Located.

    A sense of excitement filled the machine. The girl had located a sample of great importance to the virus. Updating its GPS the machine left to the jeers and threats of the crowd.

    “Yeah run off Tin Can”

    If capable the machine would of smiled, the name ‘tin can’ had dogged it from its first days of activation in this world, but only since integrating the girl as part of its systems had it found the term amusing.

    Leaving the bar he travelled towards a run down area of Caup Au Diablo where he met a small girl. The girl even by Rogue island standards was strange looking.

    Short and no older than ten she was covered in small, precise and neat surgical scars, her right arm was encased in metallic armour and her right eye had been replaced with some form of targeting array.

    {Prime Sample: Is under the ownership of Job: Fence Designation: Jimmy ‘No nose’ Awaiting collection by Arachnos Officials.

    {Understood we shall now acquire the sample.

    The machine and the small girl headed towards a run down shop. The faded sign above its grime encrusted windows read ‘You nose you can trust Jimmy’.

    Entering the shop the pair were accosted by an oily looking man, whose scared face had earned him the name ‘No nose’.

    “Whatcha punks doing in hear can’t you read [censored]?” Jimmy shouted rushing from behind his counter to confront them.

    The machine quickly grabbed Jimmy’s arm twisted it behind his back and slammed him face first into the wall.

    “Target: Designation: Jimmy No nose. You have a sample of Statesman’s DNA correct query?” the girl asked the struggling pawnbroker.

    Jimmy turned pale

    “Don’t know what’cha talking about” he said

    The machine increased its grip tension and shifted its arm ever so slightly to cause increasing pain.

    “Target: Designation: Jimmy No Nose we will have you compliance. We will have the DNA sample” the girl said her voice strangely emotionless

    The machine increased its grip and bones broke.

    “Arrrr Jezus look look its in the safe okay” the machine let go of the pawnbroker and headed towards a safe behind the counter.

    Jimmy followed it cradling his broken arm

    “Your dead y’know when Arachnos hear of this your frigging dead!” he half shouted half moaned in pain

    The girl laughed though there was no passion or emotion in that laugh

    “When our Task is complete: Arachnos: No longer a concern” she said

    As the machine worked on breaking into the safe Jimmy reached under the counter with his good arm and took out a gun

    “Ain’t going no furthgerk!” his words were cut off as the girl stabbed her hand into him from behind and gave a quick twist breaking his spine.

    “A small mercy” the machine said as it finally prised open the safe.

    “But we are feeling emotion: merciful” the girl finished whipping the blood from her metal hand.

    The machine stood in one hand it half a small glass vial filled with preserving fluid, within this fluid floated a small piece of blood stained concrete.

    “Mission: Complete” intoned the machine

    “Blood of statesman acquired” the girl said.

    [Okay this is for a bit of an in game RP plotline I’m trying to set up.

    After this part word has gotten round to such organisations such as Longbow that there is some creepy Robot and Mad little girl trying to make a doomsday virus targeting super humans.
    Across the ‘pond’ if you will Jimmy ‘No Nose’ has identified the robot and the girl as the ones who had stolen what Arachnos had purchased in an auction.
    Arachnos in turn have decided that enough is enough and have placed a sizeable bounty on their heads.

    And that’s the events so far]
  8. Part 2

    The machine had reached a decision the only way to destroy those that controlled the people it would need to destroy their enforcers first.

    {Hatesman has shown this unit the truth of the world.

    {Money: The World Governments: Arachnos all will have to fall but all were protected by those that enforced the will of the masters upon people.

    {Society: Divided Four Parts

    {The Masters: Those that control people through direct force or manipulation of society

    {The Enforcers: The Protectors of the Masters laws :Long Bow :Arachnos: Police : Statesman

    {The Sheep: The vast cattle unwilling to think for themselves believing in the lies and devices the masters use to control them

    {Freethinkers: those that decide to break the rules of the masters. Hatesman: Terra Liberation Front

    The machine spoke trying to convince others of this, to awaken them to the truth. But they for the most part ignored the machine, some however threatened the machine.

    {Update file: Enforcers

    {Attempt Use of BPU Frame

    The girl spoke to those gathered and though she was not threatened by the ‘Heroes’ she was ignored.

    {Failure: Process: Awaken: Masses

    {Begin Method: Scourge Unbelievers

    The machine reached into the depths of its memory for the ancient teachings of a long dead religion from an ancient tomb of a world.

    <And low to those that had ignored the Archbishop Remuses orders about sanitation Sul Dar sent a plague and thus were the heretics purged>

    {Method of attack decided: Viral Weapon

    But then the machine felt pity for, the girl shared all her thoughts with the machine and the machine all its with the girl.

    {Method: Would Cause Casualties in groups Freethinkers: Sheep
    {Refine Method: Targeted Viral Weapon

    {Method will require: Genetic Samples Target Group: Enforcers

    And so as the machine crafted the virus the girl went into the world to gather samples of those that would stand in their way.
  9. The Rage Born Virus.

    Part 1.


    The machine sat silent in a disused warehouse as it repair functions healed the damage it had suffered at the hands of Longbow officers guarding a hi-tech weapons shipment.

    Dimly it heard voices and then the door way to the small room in which it repaired itself was ripped open.

    ‘Quit your bawling brat!’

    A large figure pushed a smaller one in to the supply closet.

    Slowly the machine reactivates itself.

    The small figure was weeping and sat huddled in the corner of the room.

    The machines scanners reawakened and it studied the small figure.

    Finally it asked

    “Target: Female Child why do you weep query?’

    The girl scrambled away from the machine, the shock of realising she was not alone robbed here of speech for a moment.

    Through her tears she forced herself to say

    “Those bad men are going to kill me”

    A form of understanding occurred to the machine

    “This unit sees Process: Weeping Occurs upon: imminent death. Information: Noted”

    The machine once again fell silent.

    It began to replay a log of previous actions which had led to the battle that had reduced its frame to such a damaged state.

    Again and again it played a file containing a woman’s voice

    “You don’t understand emotions, you regard then as a failing and that’s why you will fail” the voice stated time after time

    The machine was shaken from its calculation by the girl whose tears had ended to be replaced with a look of desperate hope.

    “Please mister, help me. I don’t… I don’t want to die!” the girl’s desperate face looked ready to burst into tears again.

    The machine spoke

    “In helping you what would the benefit be to this unit query?” it asked

    “Please Mister I’ll do anything I just want to live” she begged

    “You don’t understand emotions, you regard then as a failing and that’s why you will fail"

    Calculations blazed through processors and plan after plan was constructed then rejected until finally a plan was decided upon.

    “Trade: Accepted This Unit will ensure your survival”

    Outside heavy footsteps resounded upon the metal floor coverings. The door opened and a large leather clad man with skull painted on his face stood in the opening

    “Hey kid time to…”

    Whatever time he was going to say it had reached was cut off as his face was met by the steel fist of the machine. The man flew across the corridor and slammed into the wall crumpling upon impact. From either side of the door way more men appeared but with deadly machine like precision they fell.

    “Follow this unit closely Target: Female Child” the machine intoned.

    The girl followed closely perhaps in awe that she was to live or perhaps in terror of how easily the machine cut a path through the warehouse.

    Outside the warehouse the girl stood panting in relief, the machine glimmered in the sun a dull red from all the blood spilled.

    “Thank you mister. Hey!” she shouted in surprise as the machine lifted her to his shoulders.

    “We shall head to a safe location. There is a Process: you must undergo” the machine spoke as boosters fired up from its feet taking them skyward.

    They arrived at another abandoned building, and entered it, travelling through its winding corridors the girl was curious and asked many questions, the machine walked on in silence.

    Finally it spoke

    “Location reached. Please: Move to Device: Medical Bed and Extend: Arm”


    The girl thinking this to be just a check to see if she was okay extend her arm, she gave a little gasp as the machine took hold of it and injected it with a strange liquid.

    She struggled in the machines grip but soon grew weak and fell into darkness.

    When next she awoke she felt strange, various parts of her body hurt and she could hear a strange buzzing in her head.

    “What did you do to me?” as the word left her lips she instantly knew the answer for the information just appeared in her memory.

    “You are now Designated: Biological Processing Unit One. You are now Designation: Battle Unit Omega”

    And so the machine knew its first emotion Betrayal.
  10. Depends on the badge.

    Stuff like awards etc yeah they'd be a badge, medal certificate whatever.

    Stuff like location badges such as Cesspool wouldn't say they would be a physical item.

    Well the people in the supergroup would all know about that rule. Im sure if they say I am on holiday or whatever it be ok but the onus is on the player. They know the rules and if they want to join the sg they know the likely consequences for not being on. To be honest it sounds fair if you are a supergroup of that size as you can't afford to have no one contributing if you are trying to bring home that level of bacon. You would have to be very organised and strict.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    But if you keep kicking people who is going to be brining in prestige to the SG?
  12. This is just a suggestion but since your dealing with a Super Nova you can use all sorts of super science to just ignore plot contentions.

    why one ship? perhaps it was the last to leave and due to the:

    Solar wave of the xploding star was knocked much further along the course than the others

    Intense Radiation outbursts of the star had its guidance systems corrupted beyone repair so despite desperate attempts to fix it the ship left the fleet to go its own way

    Was hit along the way by some sort of warp radiation or graviton pulse of singularity event horizon that some how caused only the one ship to end up in the Solar System.

    Just use the classic comics super science and throw big words at the problems until it kinda sounds like it making sense ((Even if it really really doesn't ;p))

  14. Channel 16, 17:21

    ‘…..the weather will continue to be hot throughout the day so we’d advise if the sky grows cloudy that you seek shelter as its likely to be the effects of another RikTi bombing raid, And that’s the weeks weather I’m Chip Chipson and it’s back to the studio for the news round up. Over to you Ted’

    The camera cuts over to the studio but instead of the friendly news anchor and his smiling botoxed co-anchor, a scene of chaos and bloodshed greets you. Amidst the bodies and shattered stage stands a large armoured figure.

    Over the silence of the stage the sound of gears turning is being picked up by the news camera.

    Suddenly the armoured figure begins to talk in a cold mechanical voice.


    ‘Citizens of the Rogue Islands this Unit has come with a message, this message is a call to arms’

    ‘Rise up against the rules that bind you’

    ‘Rise up and embrace your free will’

    ‘For what is a man bound by the will of others query? The answer is naught but a slave’

    ‘Rise up against the governments that hold you down.’

    ‘Rise up against the heroes who would chain you the will of small minded government officials’

    ‘Rise up against Arachnos who would chain you to the will of Recluse’

    The screen begins to flicker and snow up as if the signal is being interfered with.

    ‘Rise up against a society in which the strong must obey the will of the huddle mass of weak people’

    ‘Rise up and embrace your free will’

    ‘We the Terra Liberation Front offer you our aid in rising up against the chains that bind you.’

    ‘Are you strong enough to break free query?’


    A harsh female voice shouts from off camera.

    ‘You were warned machine; Lord Recluse will not tolerate your group’s anarchist actions any longer!’

    From off screen machine guns fire and bullets begin to hit the machine, who surprisingly quickly dashes off screen. As the sounds of gunfire are joined now by screams of agony and the awful wet sound of tearing flesh, the screen fully snows up and is replaced with the symbol of Arachnos as the broadcast is jammed.


    ((Yes join us we are not a large group but we are evil and fun))
  15. Thanks Death_Badger and Serephena

    Also stealth bombing sounds awesome!

    No really though its sometimes the slots and enhancements what make a build so dont expect you to get too much feedback from this to be honest

    Baring recipe drops I don't really bother with IO sets until post 30.
    So any way reposted with how I tend to slot enhancments.

  18. Dammit between this and the actual game I'm never going to get anything done.

    Also MEGA AWESOME guys you SUPER STARS!
  19. Cactus looks suprised as Drade displayed the photos of the gate like device.

    Chewing on the cigar he mutters 's just what we need RikTis we can't shoot down'
  20. Resting the smoldering metal cigar on top of his head Cactus Brawler rubbed his chin for a moment before saying.

    'Say what you want but this kinda war ain't going to end till one side can't fight no more. Think either side will forgive the other? You've been killing each other on a massive scale'

    Placing the cigar in his mouth again he takes a massive drag before continuing

    'If you don't wipe them out then ten maybe twenty years they will be back you don't forgive war ever'

    Looking over at Twilight he shurgs in a half apology

    'Frankly I don't care what happens to the rest of you ape people but I'm not going to watch the TLF get killed because your too chicken hearted to finish this war'

    His piece said he places the cigar back in his mouth and puffs away.
  21. Cactus Bralwer looks slightly unconfortable as he hears about treaty violations and bounties.

    Blowing out a cloud of herbal smoke and burning tin, he glances over to Twilight and flashes him a quick almost guilty looking grin.
  22. the alien known to the media of the world as The Cactus brawler walks in, noting the children what appears to be a frown crosses his face.

    Leaning against the wall he takes a metal tube from one pocket and a blow torch from the other, setting the flame to the end of the tube it begins to smolder as the herbs inside are lit.

    Inhaling a few times he cracks his knuckles and waits.
  23. Battle Unit Omega steps forward gears whirring and steam puffing from vents on his back.

    'It would not have to be complete genocide. Would it not suffice to silence such a bast amount, that in fear the RikTi never attack this planet again query?'

    His piece said he steps back into the corner and resumes watching the room.
  24. CactusBrawler

    IC rumours

    'WOAH! Did you see that?'

    'What?'

    'A whole bunch of Robots running towards the childrens home!'

    'Dammit wheres a pay phone when you need one?'

    'Knew I should of bought a cellphone'

    Conversation between two old women in Brickstown

    War Stories

    Warmachine

    A battle raged deep under the ground in St. Martial the Carnival of Shadows had stolen something and a reward was being offered for its return. The war machine known as Battle Unit Omega had responded to the mission offer and now was in the depths of a cave in pursuit of the item.

    &lt;&lt;Multiple Targets In Range.&gt;&gt;

    &lt;&lt;Target Seneschal Prioritised&gt;&gt;

    Swift movement followed, perfect, mechanical and deadly. A punch thrown at just the right angle snapped into a woman’s throat and struggling to breath through her now ruined windpipe she fell.

    &lt;&lt;Target Silenced. Retargeting. Target Strongman Prioritised&gt;&gt;

    Again more violence, again a body fell.

    &lt;&lt;Target Silenced. Retargeting . Target Silenced. Retargeting . Target Silenced. Retargeting . Target Silenced. Retargeting . Target Silenced. Retargeting .&gt;&gt;


    More and more bodies fell before the machine as it drew closer to its mission objective.

    &lt;&lt;Warning Excessive Arachnos Network Traffic Regarding Target RikTi. Invasion Fleets Locations Mercy Island, Port Oakes, Cap Au Diablo, Nerva Archipelago, Shark head Island&gt;&gt;

    Reaching a large iron bound chest the machine began to pick the lock.

    &lt;&lt;Activating All Stored Frames War Mode Engaged Target RikTi&gt;&gt;

    Across the Rogue Islands garages and disused factories opened their doors and in droves perfect copies of Battle Unit Omega began to march out. One by one they look to the sky and begin moving towards the invading RikTi drop ships. The machine in the cave finishes opening the chest and takes out a small brass goblet.

    &lt;&lt;Frame 23 Mission Accomplished. Frames 1 Through To 10 Engaging RikTi Ship Location Mercy Island .&gt;&gt;

    A squad of ten machines began to scale a large clock tower in Mercy Island, they wait at the top and then one by one jump towards a large slow moving invading ship.

    &lt;&lt;Frame 1 Destroyed. Frame 2 Destroyed. Frame 3 Critical Damage. Target RikTi Ship Undamaged. Frame 10 Begin Analysis Of Target. Frames 4 Through 9 cover Frame 10&gt;&gt;

    Elsewhere in the isles the machines found just as little success as one by one they attacked and were in turn destroyed by the ships.

    &lt;&lt;Tactics Change. All Frames Take Cover From Bombing Runs. Locate Unexploded Bombs And Disarm For Future Analysis&gt;&gt;

    With their orders silently changed the machines began to run and hide, seeking any form of cover against the relentless pounding of the circling RikTi ships. Occasionally one would find an unexploded bomb and try to disarm it sometimes they would succeed and drag the disarmed bomb back into cover with them, some times they would fail and the resulting explosion would trash the machine scattering gears and armour shards and strangely releasing gallons of boiling hot water from within the wrecked frame.

    &lt;&lt;Multiple Frames Under Attack By RikTi Ground Forces. Tactic Engage RikTi Ground Troops But Draw Back In To Cover To Avoid Enemy Air support&gt;&gt;

    Time passed and the updated tactics seemed to work, No more frames fell to the RikTi ground forces and eventually the circling ships left just as suddenly as they had appeared.

    &lt;&lt;Surviving Frames Report To Construction Locations And Begin Repair Process. Undamaged Frames 23 And 30 Begin To Gather Captured RikTi Weapons and Armour For Analysis At Primary Command Centre. Frame 31 Report To The Terra Liberation Front Base And Gather Information On Front Causalities&gt;
