Shadower

Molly's Group

Coms bot nodded quickly before stepping out of the way.
"Very well Miss Molly." It said.

Sean's Group

With the floor under XYY-004 now like quicksand he grinned and pointed next to it.
The pods area it also seem to be sinking into the floor, and a small set of lights on them appear to be blinking wildly.
"Stupid humanoid enchanced, you really want the other Humanoids here to die?" XYY-004 called out as they began to sink more.
Sean turn and vaulted for the steps calling out, "Guys remember theres hostages in those things, try not to harm 'em" Depolying his blades on the way down.

Sean's Group

Sean looked to the bot tapping his face guard buttons, his visor seem to switch and have a line flash across it.
"Thats XYY-004, at least I think it is.. suggest we take him out befo-" Sean said getting cut off by ducking out of the way as a clipboard shot by his head and implanted itself in the wall.
The bot, XYY-004, stood in the darkness glaring over at the group at the door for a moment then charged in, vaulting over the pods and head striaght at the group at quite a fast speed.

Molly's Group

Coms bot looked at the lock panel keypad for a moment.
"You want me to try every possible code to open it? or rip it out from the wall?" It asked turning it's head to one side so it could see the other two with one eye.


((Note: Extended yet again people, why because it now so damn close to end it would be a shame to kill it now, basicly only a few more things to do and then it's complete. PM if you want advance warning.))

Simon looked at the report, reading it carefully before slipping it under his arm and walking off out of the office and peering about the store and the blood trail.

Sean's Group

With the last of the drones dealt with Sean called out.
"Hey.. erm guys.. a hand here?" he said holding up his arms infront of him.
As Sean did the far wall of the room gave a rumble as it split about half way up and the now two bits sank away to so yet another room, this one seem to be barely lit however as far as they could see was row after row of what appeared to be some sort of pods, which were providing the light in the room. Just barely made out on the far side of the large room was the figure of a bot, wearing what appeared to be a lab coat.

Molly's Group

"Please.. I like my head to stay attached to it's body." Coms-bot said starting to walk off, "Main computer Core is this way, as with the corridor leading to the lift to the command deck."
Coms-bot continued to walk, waving it's hand for the others to follow it. The room had the dmaged from the battle, bits of bot littered the floor, and the odd few were in holes in the wall, one was stuck in the wall with a fist size hole in it's head. Past the two lab tables and a chair was another door, locked shut.

Sean's Group

With Rik's 'friends' yet again battling the remainning bots they quickly fell, leaving only the Tronoz drones behind, which were now shooting at Sean.
Each hit his armour seem to get slightly more and more damage to it, using his blades to sheild his visor he took as many as he could before tripping over on a piece of bot.
Due to the wind blasts the Drones coudln't manage to do aimed shots so again it was a simple barrage of shots, with every few moments another drone falling to the floor too badly damaged to continue.

Molly/Catz

With the rifle dropping down and Molly peering about the side of the bot to see the room, it lowered it's arms.
"You two almost shot me then.." turning it's head around to see where Molly was looking, ".. Huh guess I should of let you know I was coming." The bot said calmly before continuing.
"Maybe I should explain, It's me Coms, I've.. borrowed this prototype bot from their labs to help, guess they didn't expect it to get up and walk off so I had a small fight on my hands, lucky for me this bot body seems to be more advanced than the rest, but it had no memory program so it was easy to hack into it." Coms bot said turning about and stepping back into the room. "The last I knew Sean and co were in the lower labs areas, and you two are here, upper labs, near the computer core room, wheres the other one?"

Simon nodded before writing down one more question " Mind if I take a look around for a while?"
Showing it to Daryl mainly as he seem to be the one running everything for the crime scene.

Sean's Group

Sean noticed Riks landing and Reds EMP grenades land and set off focing the wall of bots to colapse down, tiwing and jerking about as the EMP shorted them out. However now the Swam of Drones had switched their targets, and down swooped down at the rest on the bottom floor letting off more shots and nose diving at the group in a kamikaze fashion.
The bots from behind the down wall charged in, as Sean set about slicing and slashing his way into them. Leaving bits of bots flying off behind him and stabbing the odd one.

Molly/Catz

The bot dropped the head then glanced at the two before it, then to the rifle pointing at it.
"WOAH! Ok ok.. Don't shot! It's me it's me!" The bot said pleasding with Molly it's arms out infront of it waving manicly, its voice seem very much like that of Coms.

Simon glanced about, the hilt of his warhammer sitting proudly over his left shoulder, he pulled out a notepad from his jacket and the pen from the band of his hat, writing in the pad for a moment then showing it to those there.
"Your telling me this all happend without an entry or exit?"
Before either to could answer, he wrote " Have you looked for a hiding spot? or an inside job?"

Outside the store, on the other side of the road, stood a man, his blue trench coat and purple hat with it's black band around it moved in the gently breeze, the rest of him, his blue jeans, black boots, and purple t-shirt with a outlined Z on it. His face was mostly hidden by a purple and blue Bandana.
Slwoly he crossed the road towards the store and stopped near the officer there, showing a small card to them, which read " Silere Signum Investigations. Simon Zeta Private Investigator."

Sean's Group

As the bolts flew past the drones, they swamed down lower, each one deploying it's guns and shooting at the group of heroes, the green pulses seem to not be aimed but more just a barrage of shots in a hope that most would hit at least part of a target. As the Drones were buffed by Rik's attack they seem to attempt to resist it the best their twin rotar blades could, with a few failing and falling to the ground.
The bots also being affected by the quake seem to grin evily as they tried to steady themselves.
Suddenly the door behind the group slammed shut and the vents began to hiss as a gas started to be released.
"OK.. Bugger this.. time for me to pull out the new mode." Sean said tapping something on his gloves.
With that his suit seem to give of a hiss and a liquid seem to pour out from it's joints and pads, Sean once this had happend charged forwards much faster than normal ((hasten)) with his blades deployed and jumped down into the room, taking out three bots on his landing.

Molly/Catz

The sound of battle seem to continue getting louder slowly before suddenly the impresson of a bot face came into the door, followed by serveal more dents then the eire slience again. The control panel next to the door seem to spark a few times then the power to it cut off.

With that two fist dents appeared suddenly in the door before the door was sent flying out from it's frame leaving a dust trail behind it. As the dust cleared there stood what appeared to be one of the Assasionbot, however this one seem much more advanced and was holding a bot head under it's arm.

Sean's group

As Riks friends came to his aid the bots in the front two lines braced themselves, making a wall of bots each one linked in arms while the end ones placed their free hands onto the wall. This as they sunk into the floor to their knees meant the charge from the bolt was sent along the line ranks and into the walls, where it disapated into the fortress.
The wall of bots also took the blunt of the wind, allowing those behind it to jump onto the walls away from the down quicksand like floor. The odd few jumping onto the front line bots shoulders making the wall that bit taller, and providing yet more cover.

With a great whriling hum the rooms ceiling shifted and opened up to show a swam of Tronoz Drones, fifty of them in total.
"Anyone else feel like we just walked into a trap?" Sean asked taking a step away from Next Dimension as he morphed into his nova form.

Catz/Molly

At the end of the corridor now was a closed door, and the eirey slience was suddenly broken by the sounds of fighting beyond the door.

The cold surface of the door didn't give much away of what was on the other side, the only noises seem to be clicks and hisses of air.
Sean walked over to Rik and Red and the rest who had past him, looking at the door he pressed a small button on the panel next to it. With that the door slid open with a great hiss of compressed air to show yet another metal walkway area this time with a steep stairway going down to the floor below, which itself was dark like the rest of the room due to the lights not being on in it.
"Huh, that was easy.. a little too easy.. " Sean muttered as suddenly the darkness of the room filled with the red glowing eyes of fifthy bots.

Where molly was going following the same, as near as she could tell where the noise had came from, of where Infinitron had gone too and that of the bot, there was marks and such on the walls alone with the odd bit of debris and the like.

Beyond the semi open door is a small room with another door on the oppersite wall to the semi open one, inside the room seem to be like that of a chemical seal room, vents on the rooms ceiling and the side of the floor. The door seem to of got stuck on what seem to be a piece of metal tube which had fallen down from the ceiling above the door.

Sean walked quickly along the cooridor towards the semi open door following Rik down, however he stopped at the console and with a quick glance attached a small device from his belt onto it.
"Coms, if your hearing me, I've put an uplink device onto a console here see what you can find out ok?" Sean said over the comline however there wasn't a reply.

((catz/molly, need to know where your going and if your heading into that hole or leaving that bot alone which walked past so i know where and what rooms to have you find.))

((fine :P, was going to let RC do it but oh well.))

With the explosion the door blew into bits leaving a large amout of dust and smoke behind aswell as bits of door flying eveywhere, belond the door was another corridor this one lit fully and just seen at the far end was another door, this one seem to be stuck semi open and semi closed as if caught on something. Halfway down about was what looked like a termial access console mounted on the wall on the left wall while the right seem to have another corridor part area.

(( ok people as this is now over running somewhat belond what even I expected it to I have came to the choice of now putting a final time limit on it, that is 10 days in that time something will happen, depending on where it has got to by then will have an impact on the something event.))

Sean checked the door quickly then tapped his face guard a few times.
"Red, place it.. just about here.. ish.. seems to be a fault in the metal about there might be the best spot fo the blow." Sean said pointing out a ever so slight flake bit about the center of the door, before stepping well back and waiting for the charge to go off.

Command deck

"Lord Assasion, the main computer core has been taken offline.. we have losted connection with all of the others outside of the fortress sir." One of the sitting bots said before a Tronoz drone ported infront of Assasion.
"Assasion, what is happening here and what is with the reports I have got from my fellows?" Asked the Drone hovering up right into Assasion's face.
"There is a small problem, Tron, one that will be sorted very shortly." Assasion snarled before pushing Tron back with his arms "And you.."
Before he could finish Tron gave his a shock which forced him to release him. "Assasion don't you ever do that, I am your.." Tron said before being cut off by Assasion punching it.
"Tron! Don't start barking orders at me! I run this show, your an equal at best.. don't forget it." Assasion shouted at Tron before walking off to a small throne like seat in the room.
"In..deed.." Tron replied before repairing the dent in it's tri scope eyes.
"Now, There is another thing I must do.. which shall deal with that small problem, try not to get in my way." Assasion said as his seat and him sank into the floor and the floor sealed up behind him.
"As there is for me, send the remaining Tronoz men to deal with those groups.. leave that other alone.. for now." Tron said before disappearing in a bright flash of light.

Suddenly the Mites attacking Molly and Catz went queit and stopped moving completely, before they fell into tiny bits of metal. The noise had stopped and now an eirey hush over came the corridor, the room next door through the hole seem to flicker it's lights on has a bot seem to walk pass the hole then disappear as the lights went off again.

Time remainning: 5 hours 20 mins

Main Computer Core

The screen filled with data and commands for the core, along with a something referring to the Meta Cacoon project and that of the Assasionbot main control program which had the command shut down blast bomb core and seravel other commands in it.

Command deck

"Lord Assasion, they have gained control of main computer core, switching to the back up and diverting all commands to here now." one of the sitting bots said as Assasion paced up and down behind the row of them.

EVF1 room

Sean glanced out at the hole in the floor, before turning and walking over to the door on the far wall.

Marching towards him XYY-003 smirked "Now tell me boy.. did you really think that was painful? because that was only the first level of it. Allow me to jump it up to full, then we'll really see how much pain one hero can take."
With that XYY-003's fists and body seem to glow with the electrical energy being pumped into it, letting off the odd spark and makeing a jacob ladder form between his hands.
"Do scream if it hurts, it's more fun that way." XYY-003 said looking down at Infinitron before moving to reach for him, an evil grin of a smirk on it's cold metalic lips.

Main Computer Core

With the debris chunk taking down two of the bots almost instancely, the two which had been infront of the doors at the time of the first hole happening, each losing an arm during it. The other seven marched in on Infinitron, their eyes glowing and ripping up the seats they had been sitting on to use as make shift weapons, the last one however on the upper level platfrom nearest to the core where there seem to be a control console for it, it just glanced down at him before it smirked.
"This is XYY-003, hero sighted, and about to be taught a very important lesson." The bot said, this one was darker than the normal ones and appeared to be one of the Elite Guard of Assasion, this one had its clear parts coloured dark red.

With that XYY-003 bolted over the guard rails of the platform and landed with a crash in the floor below making a small dent in the floor, infront of the rest of the bots with it's fists glowing with electrical energy which seem to spread across it's whole body like a sheild.
"Boy you picked the wrong Computer core to invade, now you get to deal with the head of it." XYY-003 said stepping forwards towards Infinitron smirking and cracking it's knunckles.

Command deck

"Lord Assasion sir, the main computer core is under attack, the main blast doors have been taken." A Tronoz drone said hovering quite fast upto Assasion. "And the Mites are attempting to repair the damaged caused by those interlopers."
Assasion glared back at the Tronoz Drone for a moment before switching his view away from it, "Why are you infoming me of something I already know? when you should be sending in more to deal with those idiots."
"But Lor.." was all the Tronoz drone could say before it was blasted to bits by another slightly bigger one.
"It shall be done at once." Was all the new one said as it attached a probe onto the computer near to it.

Main Computer Core Room.

Has the dust began to settle the room filled with the red glow from not only the ten bombbots but their helper Tronoz drones aswell, each and everyone of them turning to face the now blasted doors, focusing in on the hole.

EVF1 room.

"Working on it Red!" Sean shouted out of his face guard, has he span on the spot to face the way where the Mites were.
With that he held up his arms and pressed a small button on his palms, this time the blades retacted in and from their ports shot out a blade disc which hit the wires holding the walkway up where the Mite were, with a groan and crack the walkway gave way falling down and crashings its way out of the fortress's underbelly hull.
The mites seem to follow the walkway down, like lemmings jumping to their deaths.
"Dumb Mites, they always have to stay together." Sean muttered before tapping his mic on again.
"Catz, their the repair bots, however I thought they had all been destoryed the last time I face him, sorry for not giving a heads up on them, their a dumb as anything just get out of there or blast them with fire or ice.. or those EMP granades would work."

I have told quite a few people to which I get different results, mostly rasied eyebrows and coughs however some I found replied with the "I never knew that, im on X but your on CoH? Is it good there and what server you on?"

It was infact my Bro (twin bro) was the one who got me into RP back when we played Ultima Online, years ago now. Since then we went onto different MMOs but not all of them have been RPed nor have I found such a open group on them like CoH.

"Catz? whats happening over there? what do you mean by the scrap having a mind of it's.. own..." Sean said before looking at the door they had came from, "..Catz.. RUN! get out of that place now!"

As he looked at the door it came open again, with the sound of a rumble, before the quiet and then a dark mass appeared like a flood covering not only the floor but the walls and the door completely.
"Guys! Run! Mites!" was all Sean said as he ran along the walkway to it's end.
behind him was the flood of the small mites, robotic like spiders, so many that it was like the fllor had came alive, and they didn't seem to come to an end.

Then same time, the same thing came from the door, thousands of Mites flooding into the corridor like a great wave of metal, they seem to eat and repair anything in their path.

Time remainning: 5 hours 25 minutes

EVF1 room

Sean glanced up to see the others take aprat the fan blades, before watching a large piece of one fly striaght through the air towards the walkway ahead of him. in the spilt secounds of noticing it he jumped to his feet, now the powerful blast from them had stopped, and pressed something on his palm of his right hand making the blades of the suit shoot out and the lines on thier centers glow brightly blue. With a single upwards thrust he set of a barrage of energy from the blades ((Focus)) at the fan blade bit just as it came to the walkway, the energy wave cut the piece in three and each of them missing the walkway by inches.
"Guys watch it.. I really don't want a sudden drop." Sean muttered into his headset mic, "That was a little close then."

Level 6, outer hull, Corridor

The rumble got nearer the scrap now bounced harder before suddenly stopping, as did the rumble.

EVF1 room, level 10, rear.

Sean nodded to those there before he noticed Quin drop in behind him.
"Well thats handy." sean said before carefully making his way around Quin to walk along the path.
The walkpath itself swayed a little as those on it began to across, Sean keeping the lead as best he could followed by the rest of his group, ever so often he glanced from side to side as if looking at something in the darkness, to him his nightsight mode was on showing they were a suppend walkway, to the right was quite some distance way, what appeared to be a large wall, the left was another wall with something else that seem to be attached onto the wall the far side, the way they were heading had the end of the walkway.
"hmm.. you know.. I don't like this.. wheres the bots..?"

Command deck

Assasion paced his way up and down before stopping as one of the bots turned it's head to look at him.
"Lord Assasion sir, there appears to be three group in the base, one is in the corridor near to the factory, the other is at the main computer core corridor, the last is in the Enigne Vent Fan one area." the bot said as the groups lit up on it's display of the fortress.
"Ah.. right deal with the first two groups with force, as for the the last one... I believe it is time for us to move upwards is it not?" Assasion replyed with a evil smirk on his lips.
The bot nodded before tapping something into it's keyboard, suddenly the words: Engines enganged: forwards thuster: power full, came up on it's screen before the whole place groaned.

EVF1 room, level 10, rear.

Suddenly a bright orange siren lights flicked on on the right and left walls, before the dron noise of something starting up. As that happend the right wall began to flip up in eight large segments opening up like a giant thuster vent it was. The left wall openned up to show a large fan, which began to spin upto speed, the wind from it moving the walkway, rocking it towards the right hand wall.
"OH [censored]!" was the only words heard on the headset from Sean as he grabbed hold of the rails beside him as hard as he could, "We're in the damn Engines!!"
