As Khellendrosiic, I know almost nothing about them.

Andrew quickly rolled out of the way as the "Silver Knight" held the beam overhead. He stood up with some difficulty and braced himself on a tall bit of rubble. "Thanks, I owe you one."
Andrew grabbed his leg and jerked it around, putting it in its correct position. Green exhaust plumes rose from the injured regions. It would be functional very shortly.
Andrew took a look around the room, or what was left of it. It was mostly covered in rubble. It would take some digging to find out what this place once was.
Suddenly, Andrew remembered 2.0. He hoped the reporter was okay, though he supposed him to be buried as well. Andrew walked over to a likely corner and moved some rubble around, trying to figure out what was beneath it.

((Just so you guys know, I've run into some financial problems. My sub runs out tomorrow, and I'm not gonna renew it for a couple weeks, I think. So, yeah, I'm gonna give rights to Andrew over to Leo, starting tomorrow. No using him til then, though. :P

Leo, if you could do me a big favor? If you're not sure how Andrew would respond or what he'd do, email me. I'll PM you my address.))

((What's with all the crap burying us? You really don't want me to find my sword, do you? :P
Also, if there isn't a ninja-pirate-zombie-robot at some point in the plot, this thread fails. :P))

Andrew lightly landed on the ground, cushioned by the "Silver Knight"'s spell. His spell did not, however, cushion him from the ceiling that fell on him. Andrew was knocked flat on his stomach, with one of his legs jammed in an awkward position. It really hurt, so Andrew assumed it to be broken. His systems would do some moderate repairs on it, but he'd have to go to the shop to get it fully repaired. Hopefully the shop didn't get exploded with the rest of the lab they'd seen so far.
Andrew was stronger than normal, but he still wasn't super-strong, and was unable to move the large chunk of ceiling off himself. "Can someone please help me? I'm stuck." His voice sounded flatter than normal in all the insulator dust.

((I'm assuming that, since this is a lab, the ceiling is made of some sort of metal and not just wood. Cause it'd be pretty pathetic for Andrew to get suck under some wood. I mean, yeah, a big beam, but he's like 3 feet tall, he could slide out.))

His question unanswered, Andrew was about to fire another dark volley when the floor collapsed. He would have dug his sword into the wall, but, y'know, he lost it. He was bracing for impact when he felt Silver's spell surround him. Wait a second, if his armor was blasted off so easily- and, not only that, it was covering more armor- who is this guy? Ah well, I'll ask him after this, uh... ninja? Sorceror? Is taken care of.

((Okay, so, since Andrew couldn't find his liuyedao to begin with, and now the floor collapsed, it's gonna be buried. I'm gonna need a new sword, methinks.))

Andrew was blown back by the explosion into a wall, hitting it so one of his antennas ((antennai? I'm not sure.)) broke off. He got up grabbing his head as small plumes of green exhaust came from the detached antenna. It lifted itself up and placed itself on Andrew's head, good as new. ((regen!)) Andrew brought his liuyedao to bear, then realized he had lost it in the blast. A quick scan around the room, it was nowhere to be seen. Well, crap. Now what.
As the green ninja ran off, holding his middle, Andrew shot a taser dart at him from his arm in hopes that it would stun him, then looked at the new arrival. "Who are you? Why did you send those ninjas?" Andrew hoped he could stall him until he found his sword.

Interested!

((Okay, you know, since Andrew is hurtling through the air, if Archlich doesn't move (or the ninja deflects Andrew) Archlich is gonna get impaled.

This should be interesting.))

Andrew was stunned by the blast, and fell back. He saw the leaves heading for the Silver Knight ((hehe)) and aimed another blast at them, then jumped to his feet and lunged at the remining ninja with his sword straight out. If he hit, he would surely impale the ninja to the wall.

Brought out of his interface by the sudden appearance of ninjas (This is a very odd day), Andrew was slightly disoriented but jumped at the nearest ninja, aiming a downward swipe at his arm. He jumped back and held forth his left hand, forming a bolt of dark energy that screamed towards the ninja.

((The bolt of dark energy was supposed to be from the scrapper Dark APP.))

Andrew quickly walked over to 2.0. "Listen," he said, getting as close to 2.0's ear as possible, "I've been concelaing this from that knight over there, I get the hint that he doesn't like tech and magic mixed." Andrew opened his left hand to show a small network of magnesium lines in a magic arrangement. "Ian's dad put this on me a few months after I moved in. I could probably interface with that machine, if you don't mind."

((So, is the large crystal core off in that side room, or in this current explodey room? I'm confused.))

Seriously? Most people on Virtue that I strted RPing with told me to stop it, it was annoying when they're trying to play.

Meh. I'm on Pinnacle, if anyone wants to say hi. @Leeksoup.

Andrew, relieved that the officer was not going to ask more questions, looked around. Judging from the scorch marks, Andrew found he room which the explosion took place in. He saw...

((You haven't posted any details about that room. I'm waiting for some.))

"Right, okay." Andrew felt a little embarrased at being so suspicious of Silver. He was clearly a hero. Andrew lowered his liuyedao. "I am Project Andrew. I live here with Ian. As to why I was in that box, I really don't remember. I think me and Ian were dueling, or something." Andrew rememered the footsteps he had heard and realized that Silver couldn't have made them. "Look, I think you should get behind this wall. I heard some footsteps, and what with the explosion, you can't be too careful until we see who it is."

"Gah!" Andrew wasn't expecting Archlich. He rolled a few feet away, out of range of Archlich's sword, and held his weapon ready. "Did you cause that explosion? Who are you, anyway?" Realizing he hadn't answered Archlich's questions, Andrew began speaking again, then realized he really didn't care until he knew who this guy was and why he attacked him.

((And now is the time for description. Andrew is a small cyborg, only 3' or so, so rolling and such comes easy to him. He is mostly covered in dark blue plating, with white starbursts at his collar, elbows ans shins. He has a yellow faceplate with three small slats in the sides, and a blue glass visor. Two large black antenna arrays are his ears. His liuyedao can snap into links and be wrapped around his middle, like a belt.))

The box, hidden from 2.0 by a corner, shuddered and jerked. Abruptly, a blade stabbed out from its side. It was jerked back in, and the box hurled itself at a wall. The ice shattered, and the lid was pushed off.
Project Andrew stood up and stretched. How long has it been, anyway? Was I in there through winter? He looked around and saw the explosion's affect on the room. That must've been what woke me. What caused that? This is really strange... He heard footsteps. He pushed himself against the wall and held his liuyedao vertically in both hands. He didn't dare look around the corner, he would wait for whatever it was coming. He wouldn't normally be this paranoid, but a lot of strange stuff was happening.

((By the way, a Liuyedao is the kind of sword I've always pictured Andrew having. It's an almost-straight sword blade with no pommel and a small grip from the Malay peninsula. That is, the whole sword is from the Malay peninsula, not just the grip. As to why Andrew was in the box, wouldn't you like to know... :P

Also, if Archlich is still in the room... Well, Andrew wouldn't know that, would he, Archlich is invisible. So he wouldn't be on alert for him.))

Meanwhile, in Seattle, a car exploded!!!!

((This has nothing to do with the story. I was bored, and wanted someone to post.))

The ice on the box cracked from the blast.

As the doors opened, Archlich heard a faint whirr from one of the boxes.

((Yes, I can do that. Me and Leo talked it over.))

I think it's been fixed.


(Necro ftw!)

((I'd like to come in, but I think it's too late for me to come through the front door. I might join the investigation, I don't know. I'm waiting for an opening.))

Is there any RP SG on Freedom? I made a hero there because it's the most populated and I like to group... but then when I try to rp I get flamed... and I really don't want to abandon my guy. I've played 250 hours on him. Anyone?
