Amy, for the last time, we are not giving a lobotomised psychic whale to Dr. Edward Mechano, is that quite clearly young lady?
Sues hair flopped back to normal as she was left mostly dry, not looking overly impressed with the catgirl towering over her.

Ellie rolled her eyes at the larger woman. "Amy, if we called your dad, he'd take a look at the whale, possibly even repair the damage, then stick a slave controller in it's brain and use it to cause even MORE choas, right?"|

She paused a moment, letting Amy think about it. "Then we'd probably end up actually killing the poor thing, and chasing your dad all over the city again before he finally jumps into that damned timeportal thing of his and scarpers again."
She smirks at Amy, knowing she's going to get away with this. "And if that happens, I'd have to arrest YOU for suggesting it, and stick you in the Zig with the other hippies."

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

He smirked again.
"I wouldn't recommend letting a mad scientist get a hold of Krill. For all we know, he's the result of a mad scientist's work. On another note, I know a mad scientist, and he wouldn't be able to do squat with what happened to this whale... At least, not until he had a week to research what he was doing, and then it would probably be too late. I'm standing by on my stance that we may need some mystical intervention to help repair this damage, but I agree that we also need somebody who knows what to do with this poor animal's physiology."
He took a breath and let it out, pondering the situation still.
"The problem is that we don't know how Krill's physiology's been tampered with. We really should catch up and take a look at those chemicals, find out what the scanning has to say."

Look at that. A full-grown woman pulling off pigtails. Her crazy is off the charts.
"Sounds like an interesting relationship." Acid remarked with a toothy smirk as he walked about the Cerosian, pushing here and there to get him standing as straight as possible on his four legs, much like a tailor might before fitting a suit, "And don't worry about that. With the Plasma's help, we'll know soon enough. By the way, anybody got a knife I can borrow?"
Kauruk gulped. He was liking this idea less and less with every second...

"Hello?" Richie uttered into his phone after a long wait. "Molly? It's Richie. No. You've owned me at DDR enough times already. Aye, whatever. Look, you got owt that can fix brain damage... preferably something that wasn't blown up in a recent attack, like? Aye. Aye. Aye. Get to the point, could you? Cheers, you're a star. Uh... do whales count as 'Someones'?"
At that, Richie quickly cringed as he abruptly pulled the phone away from his ear for a brief moment, returning it there shortly after.
"Thanks... if I wasn't deaf before, I probably am now."
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
((You were attacked by 42? Oh my.))
"I'll take that as a no then." Acid remarked with a suppressed sigh. Heroes. Lot of good they were when you actually needed help with something other than semi-controlled demolition. On the other hand, he couldn't fault them there. In that area, they had skill aplenty.
"Okay, looks like I'm improvising." the reptilian secured his right hand against one of Kauruk's artificial dermal plates, then stiffened the fingers of his other one to form a very ad-hoc cutting edge with his claws, "Hold still."
"Easy for you to say." the Summoner tensed up, almost cringing together as the claws made contact, slicing through the thin layer of exoplast that separated the metal plate from the surrounding organic ones. The General hadn't replaced them all, of course; just the ones necessary to support his implants, "Do you have any idea how weird this feels?"
"Actually, yeah." the Khelari retorted, causing his friend to raise an eyebrow in befuddlement, "Oh yeah, people've tried to slice me up a lot. Of course, for me, it hurts. I don't have any artificial skin that doesn't have nerves in it, remember?"
The Cerosian didn't say anything to that. He just gulped, the thought stirred by that not at all pleasant. It didn't really put him any more at ease either, but thankfully Acid worked fast, removing the armor plate and going to work inside. To a human, the scene must've looked absolutely horrific - Kauruk made sure to keep looking straight ahead to not catch a glimpse of it either - for despite the reptilian taking great care around the organic systems that Cerosian engineering had so intricately melded with the General's cybernetics, it was pretty much impossible to not get at least his own hands bloody in the process. Moreover, imagination was quite a powerful force.
And not just in humans.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I can't take this anymore." the Summoner burst out after more than a minute of working to hold it together. He began to babble, going on for nearly half a minute, "This just feels too weird. I can't-"
"Kauruk..."
"No, seriously, it feels like there's this big gap in me and I-"
"Kauruk..."
"And it's cold and strange and-"
"General!" Acid finally shouted, quieting the Cerosian down and getting him to look at the reptilian - who stood beside and not underneath him.
"I was done over thirty seconds ago." he added casually now that he had the Summoner's attention, then motioned up the beach, "Give it a try. Thousand-Sun World. Trust me, you can do it."
The Cerosian licked his lips anxiously, still not so sure. But when he closed his eyes and concentrated, he did feel something...different. Like his connection to the universe's essence took a lot less effort, felt a great deal more...natural. He could feel the threads better, 'see' them further, even all the way out into the stellar void between galaxies.
And there it was.
Millions of light years away, sitting alone in the cold, dark region outside the Milky Way sat a little rocky planet that by all rights should've been a black world. But it wasn't. One thousand tiny, artificial suns surrounded the world like a glowing halo, ensuring never a night on the home of the bioplasmatic robots that lived there.
And this Kauruk had a connection. He opened an Oblivion Gate.
"Very nice, very nice." the Khelari slowly clapped his hands at the appearance of the large orange vortex, then raised a hand to the group of heroes around, "Okay then, we'll be back. Hopefully."
He didn't explain what he meant by that, stepping into the Oblivion Gate along with the Cerosian. A few seconds later, it dissipated again, and gone they were...
((Well, I guess Imma bow out seeing as how this thing's dead then. Too bad, I enjoyed it. Later all.))

Face twitched for a moment but then she just smiled.
"You get that one free...next time...you get a headbutt...just a friendly warning...you're a bit cheeky and I like that..."
