[And in here, we've got Maria and Lazar, who have just been released from their cells by Kaira, who informed them to find Rei before leaving. The room is secure, but they are aware that security will be coming.] [Start!] * Maria checks the door leading out of the room. Locked? Do you think you could push this door off it's hinges, Laz? When it's open? Mmm. If open, why need take off hinges? * Maria hops up onto the cieling while she's at it. "Well, guards are coming. After they open the door, we'll need to take them out fast. Then I can use their keys to get around and free the others." If you can get a bunch of 'em between the iron door and the concrete wall, that'd be a pretty quick k.o. Good plan... I can try, yes. Then I can drop down and take care of anyone who's left. * Maria nods. "Okay." * Lazar eyes the room idly while Maria works on the door, looking for anything that can be used to whack people with. * Lazar also moves to the appropriate side of the door. =P * Maria isn't working on the door. She looks for weapons too, tho. Anything useful.' [Unfortunately, Maria does not find a baton lying on a box.] ( Dang! ) * Lazar shrugs, and sets himself for a charge into (and through) the door when it opens. ( ...how about a chocolent bar? ) ( Nope. ) ( Not even a medkit ) ( ;_; ) ( Choco-lent! It's chocolate! It's people! It's BOTH! ) You have any idea how get here? (How about a klobb? Those are useless enough.) ( 70% recycled material ) Nope. We can worry about that on our way out. * Lazar nods, and makes with the being quiet. * Maria goes back to perching above the door, ready to strike. ( ...don't suppose that'd count as a mid-air attack? I doubt it, but the thought just made itself known, so. ) ( Mmmm... I'll give it to ya, but only for the first attack. ) ( Unless you took a level of Wire-Fu. =P ) ( XD ) [After several minutes, the door clicks.] * Maria tenses, ready to spring! * Lazar sets himself... [The door flies open as someone kicks it from behind. At least 3 armed guards are pointing automatic rifles into the room.] [Maria, then Lazar, then the 3 guys] [Maria's turn] * Maria waits for Lazar to spring his part of the trap first. (Holding action.) ( ^.~ ) [Lazar's turn!] * Lazar pushes foward against the door, trying to knock it off its hinges and use it to smush the guards against the wall. [One of the guards mutters, "Oh sh-" before Lazar bashes him and his buddy into the wall. The third guy gets nicked on the shoulder, but avoids the smushing.] * Maria pounces on the third guy, putting every muscle in her body into a shot at the back of his head. (Called shot, midair attack.) [Maria slams into the man so hard it's a wonder his head doesn't explode. He flies forwards and hits the wall face first.] [The other two guys are alive, but pinned.] * Maria checks them for keys, weapons, and anything else of interest. Like cash. * Lazar keeps on squishing them against the wall, trying to squeeze the breath out of them and knock them unconcious. Check other one, little one. These two no quite out yet... Oh, alright. [That succeeds.] * Maria does that! [The two guys eventually fall unconscious.] ( Do they have any handcuffs or such? ) [The guards have handcuffs, pistols, automatic rifles, and one has a key card.] * Lazar releases his pressure on the door once the two guards fall unconcious, putting it off to the side and letting said guards slump to the floor. He quickly divests them of their weapons, then drags them over towards Maria so she can do a more thorough search. * Maria takes the keycard and the handcuffs(how many?). She hands the guns to Lazar. "Break these. We don't need them to have 'em if they wake up too soon. ( One set of cuffs per guard. ) * Lazar nods. "Will do, boss lady-type person." *grins; bends weapons into unusuable form* * Maria hums. "Let's put these guys in our cells, too." * Maria drags one of the guys back to the room she started out in. You read my mind. *hefts the other two guys over his shoulders and tosses them, semi-gently, into Maria's former cell* * Maria closes the door. It locks, yes? (Mind, not closing it on Lazar. That'd be unhappy. c.c; ) [The door does not lock automatically.] * Maria sees if she can lock it, then. [Maria soooooo locks that door.] * Maria nods. "Alright, let's go do the rescue thing." * Maria heads out the door! On the cieling. SNEAKILY. * Lazar heads out the door. On the floor. AS SNEAKILY AS HE CAN MANAGE. * Lazar salutes crisply at Maria as he walks out. [You're both surprisingly quiet] * Maria sneaks along, looking for signs or a fire escape map or something. If she sees none, she goes straight and hopes the base is symmetrical. ( Oh yeah! I should describe this place. ) ( It'd be nice. ^_~ ) * Lazar follows Maria. Why? Because she's used to sneaking around buildings! [The room opens into a hall that runs left and right. There's another door a short distance away to the right.] [Also, a branching hallway to the left, a bit beyond that.] * Maria checks the door to the right, first. Just in case it's the other prison. ( Or a convenient storage place where all my stuff is. Hopefully that won't be surrounded by giant robots on patrol. ) [The door is locked!] * Maria tries the keycard from the guard. [The door unlocks.] * Maria nudges the door open and glances inside. * Lazar looms (not LOOMS) behind Maria, trying to peek inside the room too. [There are jail cells! One is empty, but the other apparently contains a very unmoving Eoi.] * Maria blinks and goes in, looking around. Anyone else in here? Guards, say? ( Nope ) * Maria goes in and sees if the keycard will unlock Eoi's cell. He captured too? Hmm... 'S alright. More muscle for us in case we're found. Watch the door. * Lazar watches the door! And, of course, anything that might be trying to come in through it. [The keycard does unlock the cell.] In fact, close it, too. We don't need anyone wandering by and wonering why it's open. * Maria opens the cell and drags Eoi out. "Hey, uh... er, whatyerface! Chie's teacher! Naginata guy! Wake up?" * Lazar closes the door! Gently, of course. He name Oy, I think. ( Maria, medical roll (diagnosis) ) ( That would be a 'no'. ) He okay? Dunno. I think somethin's wrong with him. Dunno what. If he doesn't wake up, tho, we might have to leave 'im here until we get the others. I don't *want* to, but it'd be hard to take him along. * Lazar shakes his head. "I carry. If leave behind, guards may come, move him." * Maria frowns and nods. "True. Here, I'll cuff his arms around you so you don't have to hold him when you're fighting. Pick him up piggyback-like." ( Ouch @_@ ) ( That would be very painful ) Around neck? ... what if I fall over backwards? (Yeah, it would.) * Lazar walks over to Eoi and picks him up over one shoulder. "If fight happen, I just drop him. Or throw him at enemy. No like him very much." ...alright. Just try to drop him gently if someone starts shooting at us. * Lazar smirks. Aww, that'd be mean. 'Sides, he taught Chie, so he must be okay. Even if he is weird. * Maria heads back out into the hall, being sneaky and watching for people. * Lazar follows Maria. "But thick skull like his make good weapon..." ...good point. And he prolly won't mind if you say you wielded him like a naginata. * Lazar nodnods, then continues following Maria. * Maria follows out and down the hall towards it's open end. Stealthily. [You get to the intersection. Straight or left?] ( Straight, since in a symmetrical base that's where the other jails would be. ) [You head down that hall. It goes on for a bit, then turns right.] * Maria frowns and looks around the corner. * Lazar peeks around the corner, over (under?) Maria's head. [There's a... *gasp!*] [Door!] (It jumps out to attack you!) ( With a label? :D ...that we can read? ) [With a label. In Chinese.] * Lazar lets Maria deal with the door. Meanwhile, he keeps an eye on their 6 o'clock. * Maria frowns, uses the keycard to open the door. * Maria then opens the door sloooowly and peeks inside. [The keycard doesn't work on this door.] [It's a very thick door, that opens in the middle, up and down, with a yellow and black boundry around it.] * Maria frowns. Can she try to disable the lock? [She can try...] ( Electronics (security) ) ( Made by three. Is that enough? ) [It is! The door opens. Inside is a complicated scene that might take more description than mIRC will allow at a time, so please wait.] ( Uh oh. =P ) [Inside is a large room. Several scientists are within. On one end of the room, some of them are studying Maria's things. On another, several scientists are studying data on Rei, who's in a giant test tube filled with green goo, wearing nothing but a breathing mask (blame Ard! :P) ] [Just as you enter, a scientist hands over a CD to Kuro, everyone's favorite winged evilguy, who nods. "This ought to be all the data I need. Good work." Then he teleports out.] [There's also some smaller testtubes in the back, but you can't see what's in them.] * Lazar looks into the room, and GROWLS. He takes a step inside, drops Eoi semi- gently just inside the door, and makes a beeline for the scientists near Rei. The scientist hear that coming an get out of the way, screaming. "Danger, Dr. Robinson! The Titan is free! Danger! Danger!" (*facepalm*) * Lazar doesn't even notice that the scientists misidentified him. He's PISSED. "Nobody go anywhere. Get little one out of tube. NOW. Before I start puitting you in small tubes in back one piece at time. [Most of the scientists look scared, but a scrawny guy with thick glasses who looks not unlike Bill Gates fourty years prior chuckles. "Hee hee hee. Do you think we're intimidated by you?" The other scientists don't quite look like they agree with him.] [He reaches out and keys in a command into a nearby computer with one hand. The tubes in the back open.] * Lazar stomps over to the scientist and tries to grab and lift him by the neck. Dunno. You should be. * Maria runs over to the same computer and tries to reverse whatever he just did. ( Computers (top secret) roll! ) * Maria curses and wishes she were Rei. Temporarily, of course; being Rei all the time can really mess with a person's head. [Maria reverses the process, and the tubes close again, but apparently one of whatever was inside them managed to get out. It looks like a lizard man without eyes, and very sharp blade-like claws for hands.] [Meanwhile, Lazar grabs the man. And the scientists panic.] Lazar? Feed him to the lizard. Unless he wants to be helpful, of course. * Lazar lifts the man. "Unless you want to be projectile... any helpful fact about lizard thing?"
