Level 2 Hallway
Like the Hallway below it, the Level 2 Hallway is nothing spectacular. A wide passageway to get where you need, there is a moving walkway to one side, smooth metallic floors to the other. This level has glowing yellow neon tubes down the side, even with the doorways tips.

Turbolift - RHQ
This is infact just one of several wide Turbolifts in RHQ. Each one is identical, serving to transport rapidly multiple people. The turbolift is a wide rectangle with smooth metal floors, similar walls, and a sliding golden door with the Repliforce logo on it. To the side of the door is a control panel, where riders designate their desired stops.

From the Main Lobby, the Level 1 Hallway opens up into a vast, open circle with large metal columns that stretche from floor to ceiling in the middle of this room. Facing the lobby's direction, there is a sliding metal door that allows people access to the Turbolifts. All along the semi-circle of the back wall are large doorways, all leading to the same place beyond the Turbolift. The large room is lit with glowing blue neon lights, and plants are spaced every now and again to liven the hallway and room up.

Main Lobby - RHQ
The Main Lobby of the Repliforce Headquarters is massive. Many levels high, and equally as massive in width, this is the center hub of all things dealing with Repliforce. Everyone who comes in or out must go through the gigantic Lobby, with its metallic walls, smooth, shiney floors, and hundred upon hundreds of Reploids and Humans busy about at all times. Doors lead to different areas, each with small desks and reploids manning the consoles, admitting authorized persons and such. Thick, yellow illuminating neon lights are stuck to the walls, lighting the Lobby at all times.

Entrance Foyer - RHQ
The large front doors slide open as you step into a massive hallway, stretching out widely in every direction. On either side of the entrance walls are black sheets of what looks to be some sort of reinforced glass lining the walls. The hallway is well lighted, and there are four security driods positioned at both the entrance to the courtyard outside and the entrance to the Main Lobby inside Repliforce Headquarters. The doors leading in are automatic and look like they can accomodate Reploids of all sizes, incuding the massive General himself.

You enter the Main Courtyard - RHQ.
Main Courtyard - RHQ
This is the expansive Courtyard just outside the front entrance of the towering Headquarters of Repliforce. The Headquarters itself stretches fairly high into the sky, massive in size and bulk as the metal mostrosity looks nearly impregnable, the smooth and well designed outside concealing some very nasty weaponry within. In the courtyard, there are plants and trees growing everywhere in separate gardens, with metal walkways patterning their way around the plants and trees. The middle of the courtyard opens up into a vast and bare area before leading up a short flight of metal steps that lead inside the Headquarters. Usually, at any given time, you can find Reploids wandering the gardens, or maintenance drones taking care of anything that needs pruning or cleaning.

New York - Repliforce Island
Repliforce Island is simply that, an artificial area that has grown so much its now its own seperate Island of New York City. Mazes of rampways, bridges, and shafts give access to the Island, as hovercars, hoverboats, and barges constantly move from New York City's main area to Repliforce Island. In the center of the island is the sprawling dome of Repliforce Headquarters, surrounding by small, futuristic Reploid housing developments and such. Its like a mininature city within a City, situated around RHQ.

New York - Eastern Downtown
Western Downtown easily merges into the eastern half of Downtown New York. The buildings continue to stretch into the sky as hovercars and other vehicles whizz past on many different highway levels. You can actually see the ground below in this portion of the city, though why you'd want to, who knows? The ground underneath all the bustle is poor and run-down, obviously where the vagrants, the destitute and the dangerous live, preying on anyone foolish enough to come into their realm. Up above is a world of grand walkways and highways with a lot of open and public atriums where wildlife and plants flourish, nourished by the sun's energy as well as those who take care of them. There are too many ausitoriums or public forums to count, and all walks of life, from reploid to human can be seen all over the city.

New York - Wall Street
No longer able to be held in only one building, the Stock Market has done nothing but expand outwards in the last few decades, forcing the rest of Wall Street to grow out and up in order to compensate. Within the heart of Wall Street, there is a series of inter-connected buildings that house the Stock Market, which now runs 20 hours out of a 24 hour day. All around the heart of Wall Street are the consulting firms, the business firms, the lawyers, the stock brokers, all housed in an efficiently clean section of the city. With most of the travel in subways and super-fast railcars underground in the extensive subway systems, the streets and sky above around the buildings is kept relatively clear of the normal New York traffic.

If you thought the Business District of New York City was huge, you ain't seen nothing yet. The Western Portion of Downtown eclipses all else in the city. The buildings here are easily visable from all areas of New York City, and several portions of New York itself. This portion of Downtown is home to the first Mile High building, the Neo Empire State Building. Its towering, needle frame is a model of modern architecture and structural planning. Next to it, all the other giant skyscrapers seem pale in comparison.

New York - Business District
The Business District of New York shares a trait with the rest of the city. Its continued to build up, and up some more. Few people ever even see the dirty, slum-like ground below, instead life functions off the ground. Hovercars drive by on multilevel highways, moving to the various huge Mega Corporation Complexes. In the distance the Acropolises of the suburbs can be seen, even those behemoth structures dwarfed by the office buildings of the Business District.

The area could be classified the Suburbs of New York City, or at least the closest there is to it. The region is made up of building after building of massive Acropolis's.

New England
The oldest of all the regions in the United States, New England is perhaps the area that is the greatest mixture of old and new. Bristling with the most MegaCities of any region in North America, New England MegaCities are an odd combination of advanced superstructures and ancient, carefully preserved historic buildings and monuments. Long standing traditions, such as the Statue of Liberty in New York City, the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, and an entire section of historic Boston, all remain as they have for centuries. Much of what was once suburban land, however, has been absorbed into the MegaCities and developed into what is now the large super-structures and modern buildings. A few wildlife parks are scattered between the vast cities, but most of the landscape has been absorbed into the cities. To the east, the fierce Atlantic Ocean extends out beyond the horizon.

Quebec
Home of the majority of French people in Canada, Quebec is a wonderland of nature and city life. Montreal and Quebec are both highly populated cities full of your everyday citizens. Megamarts fill the crowded streets and people zoom by in their cars to a busy day at work. Further north in Quebec is access to Thunder Bay. Camping grounds, although more high tech than ever before, are more scarce than they used to be. Forests and wildlife mixed with civilian housing makes this a place of beauty.

Torontreal
Torontreal - East Residential Outskirts
While remaining on the Outskirts of Torontreal, this place is still nearly filled to capacity with as many ethnic groups you can think of, reflecting the large diversity the city holds. Reploids have also moved into this area recently, forming their own mini-community within the multi-leveled complex. Houses placed in subdivisions kilometers long rest on top of each other, separated by a few hundred feet of air and held up by supports and anti-gravity fields. This real estate is not as expensive as the rest of town, but the quality here is somewhat lacking. Houses are much closer together and backyards are almost non-existent.

Much of the glamour that the rest of Torontreal holds is stripped away here, as this section of the city has become a refuge for the rough and downtrodden. Business establishments here are somewhat questionable, and the legitimate ones usually have a tough time keeping open. Tattoo parlors, cheap bars, and 'other' places line the streets, with holo-ads creating ceiling over the buildings.

Home to dozens and dozens of corporate headquarters and offices, the Commercial District is one the busiest in the city. Skyscrapers, adorned with the logos of the companies that work here dominate over the city, connected via transport walkways. Limos, taxis, and various other forms of transportation zip through the spaces between the massive buildings, trying to get their occupants to their destination as fast as possible. Traffic tie-ups are common, but usually everything gets back to normal soon enough.

Home to the smaller businesses of Torontreal, this is where the majority of the citizens work and live. This area meshes perfectly in with the rest of the city, as the roadways and zoomways move in and out of the area, transporting the people around quickly. Among the small company buildings are various eateries, catering to the busy businesspeople and making a good profit too. More economic, smaller hovercars move here, a contrast to the more expensive ones that populate the business area to the west.

For miles and miles, all that can be seen are the tall buildings and taller smokestacks that make up the driving force behind Torontreal's economy. It is here that almost anything is manufactured, created, or finished. From hovercars to watches to Reploid parts, it all can be found here. At the center of it all is the Torontreal Fusion Reactors, giving power to the factories here as well as the of the city. While less glamorous than most of the city, it is essential to the continued existence of it.

<O-Repliforce> Still has a lot to learn, Flare Feline says, "Woo,
I finally found it... :)"
Dark Necrobat deactivates his stealth mode.
Jazz follows Dawn cheerfully. This is going to be fun! She hasn't been in
a mission in soooooooooooooooooooooo long! YAY!
Serges flies around upon his platform, observing in a sardonic
little manner the performance of the troops. Primarily hovering around within
the halls, the X-Hunter occasionally guts an unfortunate security guard casually
with the blade lashing out of the tip of his cane, or sliting their throats
in neat little razor lashes issued from his javelin. Hmm. They were not doing
too badly...
Derby Mare notices something of interest, and starts to rummage
in a pile of spare generator parts. "Wonder if there's anything I can
use in here..." At about the same time, a guard happens to walk around
into the same area. Only to get an eyeful of bent over equine -- ahem. "Hey,
what's all the racket in her---oh my..." Derby peers over her shoulder,
and in a matter of moments later the guard is flat on the ground with a loud
*CLANG* of a very big sledgehammer. "HENTAI!"
Colonel is jetting along the road, sabre out, and flared to life. "We
must assume that the guard, and any other assistance here has already been
killed, therefore we are the first, and possible now only line of defense.
The must not be allowed to destroy this plant."
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Jet Stingray transmits: 'You got it, sir... The back-up
is on the way to save the day!'.
Dark Necrobat meanwhile continues sweeping the area, dispatching security
and cameras with his mecha-bat swarm. Like a rolling carpet of black, they
continue to cover the the trail of Psych Mosquito, keeping at bay what guards
the others miss.
In this house of stone and light, all is chaos to Cyber's gimlet eye as he
materializes in a brilliant flash of pixels. "Well. It has been some
time since I have decided to trudge along for a raid such as this." Having
little to no cares about security et al, he's just that good to appear inside
the plant. Ahaha.
Neon Tiger stands amidst a series of security guards, but they're a combination
of functional beings and sliced up ones. "Mavericks, continue to press
forward! Watch your flanks!" the glowing tiger calls out as she dispatches
another security drone to oblivion.
Flare Feline enters the plant, following Colonel's orders. The sheer number
of Mavericks compared to Repliforcers, but no turning back now. At least Pirate
Man isn't here.

so nobody can get in."
From behind the flanks, dropping on the rear guard detachment of the Mavericks
comes the Repliforce press. "Sandwich the Mavericks between the plant
and us, Repliforce, make sure none of them can get around to outflank us!"
War Wolf has arrived.
Whirling about, a loud crashing clang is heard as another security drone is
slammed in the head, causing the mechanical monster to drop with a xcrushed
in skull. Banshee then whirls and smacks a more living type of drone in the
face with the frying pan, breaking his nose and sending him crumpling to the
ground in a heap as well. "Sorry!" She chimes, all too gleefully,
quite eager to be breaking things.
Derby Mare goes back to rummaging in the storage bin she found outside, stuffing
a few parts and bits into her storage compartments. "Might as well pick
up a few things while we're here, ne?"
Serges continues with his clever little Rigel impersonation, zipping around
on his platform. Finally coming up to a door barricaded by his own men, Serges
parts that, drifting up and out. Radar had detected...hostiles. Muttering
into his radar, the X-Hunter makes his way out through a makeshift exit, detonating
an almost exactly Serges-sized hole in the wall, with a precisely timed explosive.
He was well to prepare that as he entered in...It was tiny, and therefore
not a huge threat to his own forces...And besides. It wouldn't matter, if
he had anything to say about it.
The garrisons outside the generator rooms soon fall to Necrobat's personal
swarm, and the door leaves an opening for Psych Mosquito to begin his work.
The generators begin to become blanketed by remote explosives from a cloaked
source.

no problem.
Dawn seems to be heading right for one of the sealed entrances. She doesn't
even bother slowing down. Fire and debris are blocking the path? That's fine
with her. Mouth open, icy mists begin pouring out to try and extinguish the
flames...
<Global News Network> This just in...in addition to the Maverick attack
at Niagra Falls, a second attack seems to be occuring just outside the Reploid
base in New York. *shot shown of King, calmly standing on the bridge, blocking

why the motorists in the area are either sitting quiet or have abandoned their
vehicles, causing a tremendous traffic jam* While this new incidenthas of
yet not involved damage to property or injuries, we can only pray that it
will remain so.
Cyber Peacock continues to watch inside, adding a shot here and there with
a well-placed Tracer Drone. "Hmm," he muses as he flings another
metal feather, which explodes on contact. "I must admit, there is something
rather refreshing to out and out physical combat. Gets the mechfluid moving."
He stretches his arms a little, and then cracks his knuckles.
<O-Repliforce> Colonel says, "WHEEEEEEEE!"

<O-Repliforce> Jet Stingray facepalms. "Man, I hope no one yells
at me for letting King off the hook."
Overdrive Ostrich spins around, the guards no longer a priority. "Repliforce,"
he growls, then grins. "Let's see what y'all got!" He charges to
intercept Dawn as she heads for the entrance, kicking up a whirl of trash
and light debris behind him..

Sonic's eyes narrow as, lashing foreward for another drne which pous from
the power plant, she turns.. and recognizes the looming forces of Repli-twits
on the rise. She turns, iognoring a drone which comes up behind her, save
to shwap it in the face from behind with her frying pan, and then, remarks,
to Hitsuke, "We shall try our best t'ae make sure Miss Tiger's plan dinn'ae
fail!"
Jazz eagerly watches Dawn extinguish the flames... Wow, she can do lots of
things!
War Wolf arrives a bit late, having just gotten back from ... somewhere ...
but he definitely looks ready to go.
Derby Mare looks up from rummaging through parts at the sounds of lots of
smashing stuff that doesn't sound like Maverick doing. "Sounds like the
party crashers have arrived, as usual." She shrugs, and goes back to
digging. "Well, if they don't bother us, I'll just keep nabbing a few
parts while they're all busy."
Neon Tiger swings around, having gotten a radio transmission. "Mavericks!
Engage Repliforce! Keep them away from the plant!" she calls out loudly,
growling at the approaching troops.
Psych Mosquito has left.
> Psych Mosquito has arrived.

Dawn seems to have the fires dealt with, and decides to get working on the
debris blocking the entrance. Shouldn't be long before she's got most of it
open, but even so she turns back to Jazz and asks, "Ready to go on in,
sis?"
Dark Necrobat meanwhile continues to wire the Generator area with explosives.
His drones are swarmed about the entrance, trying to keep any approaching
out. Best to work in peace, so this place can be in pieces.

Cyber Peacock folds his arms over his chest with a slight yawn, before blinking
out and reappearing beside Derby. "Do you require assistance, Derby?"
he asks, picking up a bit of hardware and eyeing it curiously. "I am
somewhat at a bit of a loss as to what I should do."

Jet Stingray receives a radio transmission from Colonel.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Opera transmits: 'Apparently so. I am also en route.'.
Jazz nods, "Sure!", and starts to head on in. n.n
Serges has disconnected.
Overdrive Ostrich races past Dawn and Jazz at a good clip, then skids to a
stop in a shower of gold incandescent sparks. "Ready to go on home, sis?"
he mimics with a chuckle. "In pieces, of course.."
Announcement: Libra shouts, "This just in - the Stardroids have returned
to Earth, and are currently laying waste to San Angeles. We will bring you
the details as they arrive."
Announcement: Libra shouts, "And that was a GNN, really."
<O-Repliforce> Still has a lot to learn, Flare Feline says, "Oh
crap, I was just JOKING about that Stardroids thing!! O_O"
Jazz turns around to look towards Overdrive Ostrich, "Um..well thank
you..but we're busy! See you later!"
Dawn turns to face Overdrive as he decides to put himself in her path. "Whatever...I'm
not going to fail again, not this time!" She nods over to Jazz, "C'mon
sis, go on in and I'll keep him busy, ok?" She raises a fist quickly,
fire quickly surrounding it as she gazes up at Overdrive.
Colonel cuts through the rearguard, approaching to relieve the front line
and defenses. "We are almost there, Repliforce, we can push them back!"
Flare Feline is following behind the Colonel, taking care of anything the
Colonel leaves behind, and also making his way forward.
Overdrive Ostrich 's Sonic Slicer cuts into the wall beside
the door, showering sparks as it vibrates for a few seconds in the concrete.
"D'ya think yer quick enough to get away from me?" He spares a glance
at the fight shaping up toward the main gate.
Derby Mare starts to head back towards the others. Guess she'll just have to help rough a few people up until they're ready to really make a blast out of this party. "Doncha just hate a bunch of gatecrashers?"
<Global News Network> It is confirmed - the Stardroids have returned,
and are currently wreaking havoc just outside the San Angeles airport. People
are fleeing in terror, as the giants are ripping apart a block of abandoned
buildings with full force. We will be attempting to get a camera to the area...
Jazz says, "Um... well...If you keep slashing the walls, I don't think
it really matters...um.."
War Wolf darts into the compound behind Dawn and Jazz. He abruptly swerves
to the side, knowing full well that Dawn likes to make ... full use of the
terrain, quite frequently as missile weapons. His Dash Jets flare, as he spots
a potential target. "Hey, Mrs. Ed!"
(Ch. D [Public]) Dr. Landon DeVry transmits: 'What -are- those things?'.
Jet Stingray enters at the very back of the group, utilizing the water close
by (on the damed side, of course) to use that unique gift he gets to use so
rarely in combat situation... The fact that he is the fastest thing underwater.
Colonel suddenly pauses and yells. "Maverick Commander, are you listening
to the news?" He turns, yelling to his own troops. "Ceasefire! Ceasefire!"
(Ch. D [Public]) Sage transmits: 'What are what things, perhaps I can be of
assistance.'.
Dawn answers back to Jazz, "Go for it!", and at this point, she
charges Overdrive. "Maybe...but I can do this!" That is...until
Colonel calls for a ceasefire. She ignored him earlier, but the announcement
of the return of demi-gods brings her skidding to a halt.
(Ch. D [Public]) Crash Man transmits: 'Huh. Stardroids in San Angeles.'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'Stardroids?'.
Derby Mare skids to a halt as War blurts out his comment, and gives him that
Evil Femme Look(tm). "Who you calling -Mrs-, dogbreath?", she snaps,
irrately. Can't really say much about the Ed part, she is a horse after all.
(Ch. D [Public]) Crash Man transmits: 'Why, this sounds like a job for..'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Crash Man transmits: '..someone else!'.
Neon Tiger turns towards a voice that she knows quite well. "Colonel,"
she growls. "It seems that there is a... bigger problem at hand now."
(Ch. D [Public]) Guts Man transmits: 'I'm someone else!'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Colonel transmits: 'All units in Niagra, fall back,
and deploy to San Angeles, NOW!'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Crash Man transmits: 'Why, so am I!'.
Dark Necrobat begins to get on his radio, and looks to it incredulously. He
drops the remainding bombs, and heads like a rocket for the outside of the
plant.
(Ch. D [Public]) Crash Man transmits: 'Destiny has cried out for our names,
Guts! To the WILYMOBILE!'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Stalker Tiger transmits: 'Holy *******#$*#&$*#&$#@@@**@@*!!!'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Phoebus transmits: 'um... gee...okay...um...wow...'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Phoebus transmits: 'ooc:misradio'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'I thought they were destroyed? I'm
going...'.
Narrowing eyes of crimson like blood gleaming on a wall, the Sonic Banshee
and her fox watch Repliforce as it cuts through the swath towards them. And
one. Lone. Figure. At the head of the fray. Catches her attention. And, knowing
that she has to do her duty for Neon (and that if she brings Dark a peice
of him back as a present, she may get in on his gig big time), she makes a
move to launch foreward... And absolutely freezes in her tracks. The Baen
Sidhe, rarely speechless.. opens her mouth, and says nothing
.
(Ch. D [Public]) Sage transmits: 'Err..Hmm...'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Colonel transmits: 'All Repliforce units, deploy to San
Angeles, immediately.'.
Cyber Peacock stares at his radio, and then about at the assembled Mavericks.
"Oh curses, cashes, and Pentiums," he grunts before yelling hurriedly
into his radio.
(Ch. D [Public]) Dr. Landon DeVry transmits: 'Anyone with information about
these 'Stardroids' please send it to me.'.
Flare Feline comes to a skidding halt after running, and almost trips when
hearing the Colonel's order. "Cease-what now?"
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Phoebus transmits: '.u..hgh... what no...what's going
on?..uh...sir?..'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Stalker Tiger transmits: 'Re-routing to San-An'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Jazz transmits: 'me too!'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'Umm, are these Stardroids as
bad as all that? I don't know much about them, except that they're robots
from space.'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Phoebus transmits: 'eh...star what?'.
Overdrive Ostrich pauses as he pulls back to throw. "Stardroids? The
heck are THEY doing here?" He cocks his head a little, listening to nothing
as his radio chatters.
Colonel immediately calls for a fallback. "If you know what is good for
the world, Neon, we are going to San Angeles."
War Wolf prepares to lunge at Derby Mare, his fist cocked ... at which point,
he abruptly halts. "Oh, static ..."
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Colonel transmits: 'Worse.'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Sage transmits: 'These.. Stardroids.. Are they dangerous?'.
Dawn spins away suddenly, and begins running away. At full speed. Chances
are it should be obvious as to why...
Dawn retreats from the area swiftly, leaving her open for parting shots from
Neon Tiger, Jet Stingray, Colonel, Overdrive Ostrich, Flare Feline, Derby
Mare, and Dark Necrobat.
(Ch. D [Public]) Guts Man transmits: 'Of course they aren't.'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Sigma transmits: 'Little sissy girls.'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Phoebus transmits: 'eh... I..might have trouble standing
but I should get there soon...'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Jet Stingray transmits: 'This is great...'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'Worse huh? But we're going after
them anyway aren't we? Goody.'.
Dark Necrobat comes out of the plant at full-tilt, jets engaged. Stopping
dead-on, he stares at Neon. "What are your orders?" Colonel isn't
even given a time of day.
(Ch. D [Public]) Shadow Man transmits: 'Not really. They're a bit eccentric,
and they eat philosophers, but otherwise harmless.'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'If any of them got inside, they might
be still leaving something to destroy the plant with..'.
Jazz retreats from the area swiftly, leaving her open for parting shots from
Neon Tiger, Jet Stingray, Colonel, Overdrive Ostrich, Flare Feline, Derby
Mare, Dawn, Sonic Banshee, Dark Necrobat, and War Wolf.
(Ch. D [Public]) Sarah Storm transmits: ' Little sissy girls? Didn't seem
like you thought that in your last fight with them.'.
Jazz runs too. so there. :D
[OOC] Dawn says, "Any of you taking those shots?"
(Ch. D [Public]) Dr. Landon DeVry transmits: 'Can someone relay real information
INSTEAD OF MORONIC BANTER'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Colonel transmits: 'Get a recon unit there, immediately.
Make sure this is the real deal.'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Dr. Landon DeVry transmits: 'HONESTLY, you'd think you were
in some sort of puerile contest for the best action hero line!'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'Um, I had to deactivate in order tobe
thoroughly repaired. I just now reactivated. What the heck is going on?'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Shadow Man transmits: 'Ask them yourself. I think E.R.W.I.N.
still have Libra's tightbeam frequency.'.
Dawn has left.

(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'From what I can tell, Star bot
things from space have arrived and are causing trouble.'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Colonel transmits: 'Ten! Recon, San Angeles airport,
supposed Stardroid invasion, proved it or not, now!'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Dr. Landon DeVry transmits: 'Libra?'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Shadow Man transmits: 'There's only one way to find out.'.
Jazz is gone too.

Overdrive Ostrich for once LETS someone run away unchallenged.. He's busy
keeping up with radio traffic and waiting for orders. Anyway, the RFers ARE
retreating, so the operation isnt' really impeded...?

in the withers to see how many teeth it has.'.

(Ch. D [Public]) Shadow Man transmits: 'Hai, Libra. Big axe, liked to switch
teams in the middle, got beaten up by Guts San.'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'WHAT? Um, I'm on my way.'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Guts Man transmits: 'Heheheh. I showed them who's a God!'.
<Global News Network> Screens go live with a shot of Uranus running
his arm through a building, and Luna flattening another one. "This is
Skip Jumpman with a GNN special report. It is true, the Stardroids are back!
They are currently rampaging through San Angeles, but for what reason, this
reporter cannot figure out. They've given no indication as to what they're
doing here, nor why they've come back. Stay tuned, as well keep you updated
on the Stardroids' actions." And the camera continues to roll, showing
Taurus implode a building.
Neon Tiger narrows her optics at the Repliforce XO before raising a hand.
"Mavericks, cease the attack," she commands, before adding, "For
now."
(Ch. D [Public]) Guts Man transmits: 'Guts' da man! Guts's da man!'.
(Ch. D [Public]) Crash Man transmits: 'We've got Ph.Ds in kickin' ass!'.

(Ch. D [Public]) Shadow Man transmits: 'Quick! Summon Gojira to stop the Stardroids!'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'So what are the orders dealing
with these Star guys?'.
Overdrive Ostrich drops his arms to his sides, looking put-out. "Aww,
maan..."
[OOC] Flare Feline says, "well this has turned into one big mess..."
[OOC] Neon Tiger says, "You're telling me."
Derby Mare just rubs her head, as confused as heck. "I missed something,
didn't I?"
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Phoebus transmits: '..*thud sound*'.
Overdrive Ostrich clumps over to Neon, rubbing his neck a little. "So,
are we gonna blow this place, or what?.."
Jet Stingray finally makes his way onto the scene, making his way in as everyone
makes their way out. While Colonel looks like he knows where he is going,
Jet does and stays on the scene as he tries to check out what the heck is
going on, letting his weapon systems power down as he walks toward the Mavericks
in question outside.
Neon Tiger turns to Overdrive. "The rest of you continue the attack on
the plant. With half of the backup now gone, you should be able to easily
destroy the internal generators of this hydroelectric station. I will go and
investigate this apparent Stardroid sighting in San Angeles. Questions?"
Overdrive Ostrich nods, "I gotta question, who's gonna be in charge?"
Derby Mare says, "Well, that answers that. I think. What a night.""
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'Oh my gosh! It's... it's really them!'.
"You will be, Overdrive, since you are the next highest ranking here.
Should you need me, radio me directly," Neon Tiger replies calmly.
Sonic Banshee goes home.
Sonic Banshee has left.
Overdrive Ostrich gets a slight grin. "Sure, sure, no problem.. I'll
take care of everything."
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Jet Stingray transmits: 'What the heck? Ten, try to talk
to them or /something/... Get a reason why they are doing this... Last time
it took everything the world got to stop them and we are no where close to
being ready to do that again. Just in case though, all able Repliforce should
report to San Ann ASAP. Try to stop them without fighting and well, if that
does work... Well, um...'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Templar transmits: '*Not waiting for him to trail off*
Aye sir.'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'Umm Commander? What about the
plant? Do we leave it to the mavericks?'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'WHAT?! Um, alright.'.
Jet Stingray merely looks to the Mavericks as he continues to walk up to them.
"You guys are willing to attack some dinky plant when the whole world
in danger... That would be Mavericks for you."
Overdrive Ostrich steps his feet apart for better balance, holding his arms
in front of him in a defensive posture. "Followin' orders, Forcer.. more
than I can say fer yew, right?" he drawls broadly.
Flare Feline is looking quite confused. First there is a transmission about
a Stardroid attack, the the Colonel abrutly leaves, along with half of the
Mavericks. Then Jet transmits his order, which Flare replies to. Right now
Flare is too confused to act without without orders addressed to him.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Jet Stingray transmits: 'Feline, report to the scene
with the other forcers... It's crazy I know, but we have to try our best.
I know this isn't looking good, but I would rather lose a race then pull out...
As for the plant, I'll try to talk the Mavs out of it then play it by ear...
That us all I can do. Regardless of what goes down, report in as often as
you can. The more time you are on the radio, the more we can be in the know
and stuff.'.
Dark Necrobat just turns around, and goes flying back into the plant. "Forget
this..." he sneers, off to start work on the generator again.
Derby Mare is just really, really confused at the moment. "Ah, bugger
it all. Let's just blow the place up and go home. All this confusing is making
my head hurt."
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'Y..yes sir. Good luck dealing
them, it shouldn't be easy I'll bet.'.
Flare Feline takes one look back at the plant, and retreats, heading for the
Stardroid disturbence.
Flare Feline retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open for parting
shots from Neon Tiger, Overdrive Ostrich, and Dark Necrobat.
[OOC] Flare Feline says, "Oh goody. Anyone actually paying attention
to me? Or can I leave? :)"
[OOC] Overdrive Ostrich gives Flare a "get out of death free" card.
[OOC] Flare Feline says, "Gee thanks :) Not that it'll do much good when
I face the SD's, oh well"
Torontreal - Industrial District
For miles and miles, all that can be seen are the tall buildings and taller smokestacks that make up the driving force behind Torontreal's economy. It is here that almost anything is manufactured, created, or finished. From hovercars to watches to Reploid parts, it all can be found here. At the center of it all is the Torontreal Fusion Reactors, giving power to the factories here as well as the of the city. While less glamorous than most of the city, it is essential to the continued existence of it.

Torontreal - Eastern Business Zone
Home to the smaller businesses of Torontreal, this is where the majority of the citizens work and live. This area meshes perfectly in with the rest of the city, as the roadways and zoomways move in and out of the area, transporting the people around quickly. Among the small company buildings are various eateries, catering to the busy businesspeople and making a good profit too. More economic, smaller hovercars move here, a contrast to the more expensive ones that populate the business area to the west.

Torontreal - Transportation District
Located within the heart of the more densly populated areas of Torontreal is the legendary Transportation District, where the Omni-Transport Depo's can be found. Zoomtubes and shuttles launch in all directions, heading for various parts of the city, taking citizens and people across the massive lengths of Torontreal within moments. Highways, multi-level, zig zag through the skies and surprisingly enough, traffic is always light here due to the sheer number of omni-roads scattered all around.

San Angeles - Western Mall District
The usual onslaught of noise pollution assaults you as you enter this district. The same multi level highways decorate the area, with buildings towering above the ground. Yawn. However, there are structures here not found in other places of the city, namely the GigaMalls. These massive cube-like structures are -titanic- in size and contain thousands of stores and restaurants and even woodland parks within. A self contained technological ecosystem in itself. The GigaMalls here are known for having anything and everything you could ever want bad enough to spend the kind of money they charge for it here.

San Angeles - Wharf District
Sniff, Sniff... Smell that? No, not that, we'll get to that in a minute. The prominate smell is seawater. The wooden piers at one end of the area merge almost seamlessly into the modern plasteel ones at the other end. The next prominent smell is impatience. People unused to the time frames used to aquatic transport are constantly bothering the Dockmaster with requests. Failing that, they bother dock workers. Many have never been heard from again. Large grizzled reploids and humans operate even larger equipment to get cargo from the waiting ships to the many wearhouses. A few shady types can be seen in the darker corners, and lounging about the few pubs in the areas. If you don't have business here and perhaps an armed guard, this place might make you just a bit nervous.

San Angeles - Airport
The deafening apocalyptic never ending noise all around you benotes that you have entered the vicinity of the San Angeles Airport. Planes, jets, helicopters, and every kind of aerial vehicle you can imagine is constantly lifting off and landing on the multitude of landing pads and runways. Barrelling into the sky, scattered all around the airport are skinny observation towers and command towers, relaying messages to all the vehicles arriving and departing. The actual Airport itself is unbelievably -huge- to the point of staggering. And yet no matter how large the airport grows, parking is still always a pain in the aft..

Scorpio is powerslammed... and as just so happens... there's a TABLE behind
him!
Flitting back up from the Behemoth, she smiles. "There's nothing you
Earthers need to know," she says, dissipating the Elsydeon, and confident
her Triblaster has fried Dawn. Oh, how wrong she is when she turns around
and Dawn impacts her. Instead of bouncing off, Dawn hits Luna. And goes completely
through her, severing Luna into two halves. And then the two halves fall and
smack into the Behemoth, Luna's face right down in there, an inch from Mihosh...
err, Jazz's face.
Taurus snorts, her normally gentle expression creasing into a frown as her
big 'brother' goes down. "You!" she shouts, pointing her guantleted
fist at Stalker. "How DARE you strike him down!" She squeezes her
fist, snorting angrily, as the gravity in the area around Stalker begins to
compact in sympathy with her gestures.
Storm Eagle sends a radio transmission.
Ten receives a radio transmission from Storm Eagle.
Taurus misses Stalker Tiger with her Compactor Hold attack.
"The Stardroid have just gotten WOOD!" A GNN Reporter announces.
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> falls over, "EEEEK!!!"
Jazz screams, "GETTITTTTOFFMEE!!!"
King stands where he is, watching the Stardroids fall, quirking an eyebrow
as Guts Man again layeth the smackdown upon Scorpio's hiney, grounding his
axe haft in the ground.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'This... this is totally werid! The Stardroids
are getting creamed!'.
"Up in the sky, tried and true, comes a hero of battle hue, she'll lock
paws with disaster, for the red and white and blue!"
Well, okay, so she doesn't really know the real theme song's words, but she remembers enough. And who is 'she', you ask? Why, from out of the air, accompanied by a flash of gold and silver, comes the gaudiest looking Reploid in the world. No, not Mirror Pegasus. It's.. Sahara sphinx! Dun-dunna-dun! Accompanied by, of course, Agent Nerp! .. The Hard Hat plush, tied to her tail, flaps through the air behind her, as she swoops in towards the scene of the battle for the world, and, pausing to hover in mid air, wings making a jusical clanking melody as she does so, she looks through the crowd. "Hmm, Agent Nerp, who can we go against?" She asks, of the plush toy tied to her tail.
"Nerp.." Wheezes the toy as it's briefly battered against her ankle by a lash of the limb.
Flare Feline arrives in a hurry, coming from the Niagra incident. He just
takes one look at the crowd, and seems totally lost. He doesn't know what
to do...
Chain arrives from the San Angeles - Western Residential.
Chain has arrived.
Guts Man shakes his head looking at Crash Man, "Waaaaazzzaaaaaap!!"
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'Well I've arrived... just who
are our enemies here? I see Mavs, Masters and, what I can assume are those
Stardroids...'.
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> shoots its beam cannon at Luna's
face...on accident, really.
Crash Man looks at Guts Man. "...WAZAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!"
Luna 's face and head vaporise.
Leo takes a step forward, the Lion's claw dropping into her right hand, still
spinning. "If you're done with the lesser 'Droids' ... do you dare face
the Lioness?" A reddish glow emanates from the Claw as it spins, the
air seeming to burn just from friction as it spins faster and faster. "Come
... meet your destiny, vermin."
Dawn stops her flight after slamming through Luna. And...she's very confused.
"That can't be right...they're supposed to be like gods?" Then it
hits her, like a sack of anvils dropped from the roof. She immediately begins
transmissions.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'This is some kind of setup. It has
to be.'.
Scorpio is down
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Jet Stingray transmits: 'Maybe or maybe not, guys...
Perhaps it is because we killed off their leader dude in the past or something
that they are weaker or something. Make sure to try and get info from them
if you can... try and clear this mess as best we can.'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'One kick downing something that even
Megaman couldn't down in one fully charged shot? This makes no sense. I think
we might see someone else here soon...'.
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Gunslinger> is observing from well up in
the sky.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Jazz transmits: 'JET!!! You're soooo smart'n'stuff!'.
Stalker Tiger just smirks, and begins to smoke. "Well...that ain't so
bad." he comments, as he begins getting squished. "Crap." Stalker
dives out of the way, and rolls. "Y' think that's bad Sister?" he
snarls, dropping the gun, and popping his claws with a *SNICKT* Glowing with
energy re-routed, Stalker leaps towards Taurus, slashing like a frenzied beast.
"Lessee if I can see whatcha got on the inside!" screams the hunter.
Off in the distance, a blue and white blur of motion as his dash jets are
placed in overdrive. Behind him is his running companion, a red blur that
moves just as quickly behind. As the scene of chaos and destruction opens
before them, they stop and it seems that someone has finally arrived. That
someone is X, dressed in full armor and buster poised and ready. Beside him
is has canine freind Rush, who also seems to be ready to get down to business.
He looks about to see what exactly is going on as he runs towards the fray.
Rush has arrived.
Rock drops Rush.
Crash Man says, "I believe this situation has been handled, brotha Guts
Man."
Templar sends a radio transmission to Jet Stingray.
Stalker Tiger strikes Taurus with his Ion Claws attack.
Taurus falls to the ground, unconscious, due to massive systems damage.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Rock transmits: 'This is weird. We've arrives in San
Angeles.'.
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> gets up happily.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Jazz transmits: 'Another one!'.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Stalker Tiger transmits: 'And...this gets really f***king
strange.'.
.. Blinking in mid air as Leo's voice booms out, Sahara stares at the giant
lioness with Lee Press ons. And remarks, boldly,
"Wow! She's as big as Rosanne! And probably as bad tempered, too!"
With that said, the multicolored neon sphinx swoops in, to get a closer look at the giant leonine. "Well, yer not bad fer a megalith monstrocity.. But.. Can you match the allmighty powers of.. SPHINX!" She announces, taking a battle-hearty pose in mid air, Cat-gloved hands held up in fists, tail lashing, and rocket boosters keeping her afloat. Making for a pretty, multi-colored object to swat through the air, just what cats love!
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Ten transmits: 'Commander X! Oh, this is just unbelievable!'.
Shadow Man looks to Flare Feline. "Say.. Shall we engage in fisticuffs?"
Guts Man nods to Crash Man. "No one can take us down. The Wily Wrecking
Crew strikes again!"
Stalker Tiger deactivates his stealth mode.
Templar stands at the rim of the building, chaingun held pointing up, beside
his head. The Marines have a similar position, many of them looking fairly
uneasy at all the elite hostiles.
Flare Feline looks at the Ninja-bot addressing him "Fisti..what? Well
I was sent here to deal with the Stardroid situation, but at least I know
how to deal with a Master." Flare draws his claws "I hope you don't
mind if I don't use my fists."
Dawn decides to fly down to the Behemoth's side, looking over to Jazz quickly.
"Are you alright, sis? I don't think this is over yet..."
Taurus bellows as the claws cut deep into her frame, nearly slicing her in
two. The lady-bull topples backwards slowly, dark fluid and sparks seeping
out of the tears in her frame.
Crash Man hm, "Hey, think they'll make statues in our honor?"
Ten receives radioed orders to find out why the star droids have been weakened
so badly. she yells, out, "Um, uh, star droids, why have you lost most
of your power?" Then she just facepalms. .oO(This is going nowhere! What
am I supposed to do?)Oo.
Luna 's headless, half-complete body tumbles the rest of the way into the
Behemoth's cockpit.
Dawn receives a radio transmission.
Leo snarls as the Sphinx flits toward her. "This is it ... THIS IS IT?!
This is all the opposition this puny, peurile little world can muster? FEH!"
She slashes out with the Claw, a wake of flames trailing its path! "DIE!"
Shadow Man looks over to Crashbo. "Must certainly," he says, and
then turns back to Flare. "Sure thing, whatever floats your boat. Shall
you strike first, or shall I?"
Templar sends a radio transmission.
Leo misses Sahara Sphinx with her Lion's Claw attack.
Guts Man says, "If they don't we'll build our own statues. They'll be
twice as big as that Hero Boy statue!"
Storm Eagle sends a radio transmission.
Ten receives a radio transmission from Storm Eagle.
Crash Man says, "Man, what a party."
Crash Man says, "We had beer, we had Stardroids, we even had skanky Sonic
Banshee porn. What more could you want?"
Templar receives a radio transmission from Jet Stingray.
Ten sends a radio transmission to Storm Eagle.
Storm Eagle receives a radio transmission.
Guts Man says, "A dance number?"
Templar sends a radio transmission to Jet Stingray.
You say, "One thing I've learned is to never let a Master get the first
move, so.." He rushes at Shadow, claws out "Yes, I will strike first"
He comes down on him with quick swipe, short and simple.
Crash Man says, "Hm, think they'll go for it?"
Stalker Tiger continues slicing at the downed Taurus for a few moments, and
then rises, covered in dark fluid. "Boom! Two fer me!" he snarls,
raising his hands high. "Now someone get me a beer. It's Miller time!"
he says triumphantly. Who wouldn't have an ego boost after takin down two
Stardroids.
Storm Eagle sends a radio transmission.
Ten receives a radio transmission from Storm Eagle.
Luna 's headless body jerks inside the Behemoth, as well, arms wiggling madly.
You miss Shadow Man with your Cat Scratch attack.
Dawn shakes her head slowly at Jazz' reply, and sighs. "Ok...just keep
your eyes open. I think this is about to get ugly, to be honest."
Guts Man says, "Well I don't know where we can get 200 dancings hardhats
at this time of the day."
Stalker Tiger stares at Guts. "You're Robot Masters. Aintcha swimmin
in them things?" he asks.
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> 's pilot looks down, "Huh?"...a
pause... "EEK!!!!!!!! HALF BODY THING!! EYARRGH!", stomps around
randomly, causing some wanton destruction in the process.
Ten sends a radio transmission.
Storm Eagle receives a radio transmission from Ten.
Taurus is in bits. And pieces. And oozing. And sparking. She's a right mess.
Storm Eagle sends a radio transmission to Ten.
Ten receives a radio transmission from Storm Eagle.
Dawn likewise looks down at Luna's twitching form, and gets an idea. Why not
pick up the remains and bring them back for study? It's an X-Com solution,
but what the heck. She tries gathering up Luna's remains quickly, stopping
only to use a portable medical scanner on the Stardroid to see what all was
damaged...
Guts Man turns his head to the side, "Look we don't drag 200 hardhats
with us everywhere we go. At best all I have is 10 right now."
"EEEE!!!" Squeals Sahara as she's very nearly swiped out of the
sky, only narrowly missing the strike by kicking her boosters into hyper speed.
She shoots upwards into the air, and does a back loop, nifty-style, mid flight.
Lashing her tail, she plants her paws to her stomach, and mimics an Anime
Lah. "HO-HO-HO-HO-HO! Think you that you can beat the almighty force
that is.. Sahara Sphinx? Well! I shall show you my wrath!" A pause, before
she takes a deep breath, and announces,
"Saharamon! NEKO BREATH!"
And unleashs, from her spread maw, a boiling cloud of green, ominous fumes.
Sahara Sphinx strikes Leo with her Neko Breath attack.
King hmms, turning his attention towards the smoking body of Taurus, which
seems to be inactive but more or less intact. He hmms, then slides his shield
onto his back, back under his cloak, and engages his dash thrusters, leaping
over to bound across the battlefield, then stops besides Taurus' inactive
body, leaning down to study it.
Ten just lands nearby and sighs. "This is all just too weird!"
Templar chitters with the Stingray of Justice. Nodding slightly to the radioed
order, he starts tightbeaming to the Marine squad leaders. "<10th,
16th, and 23rd...move up. Follow my lead.>" They move forward, leaping
rooftops or flying closer. They start spreading out to encircle the combat
zone. Templar is just about alone himself, for OOC convenience. "<Fire.>"
He aims his chaingun down and begins blazing away at Master and Stardroid
alike, as do the Marines. (Just RPed damage, of course ... but it's likely
they'd get knocked around ... 32 Repligumbies and a PC)
Out of the blue, someone hands Crash Man a martini. "Hey, what the..?"
o/~ Anyway you want it, that's the way you need it. Anyway you want it *duhn-dunh-nuh-nuh-nuh!* o/~
Off to the side, a Joe asks. "Hey, where's all this liquor coming from?"
Crash Man shrugs, "Hey, it's a party."
Suddenly, from a nearby reinforced super-titanium bunker, there's a loud shout.
An interesting shout, that one wouldn't expect here. There's also the sound
of several alarms going off, equipment powering down, and other chaos. And
what's the shout say, perchance? Just what could it be that slices through
the chaos so utterly, and alters the course of this entire situation?
"CUT! CUUUUUUUUT! WHO LET THOSE PYSCHOS ON THE SET?!?!"
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'Try asking ICly.'.
Storm Eagle clenches his eyes at the conversation, braking speed as he crunches
down to land near the Flaming Bird of Justice.
Leo roars in pain, the fumes washing over her body ... as the Security Force
of the Stardroids collapses into a heap, her head tumbling from its shoulders
...
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ten transmits: 'OOC: Miss.'.
Shadow Man dodges out of the way of Flare's attack, because he's good at doding
out of the way of stuff, and responds by thewaping him on the head with the
flat of a sword.
Taurus sparks at King.
<O-Repliforce> Still has a lot to learn, Flare Feline says, "Is
it me, or did someone just yell out 'cut'? Like a director?"
Shadow Man strikes you with his Katana for 17 units of damage.
[OOC] Libra says, "Congradulations, you just toasted the latest Troma
movie. :>"
[OOC] Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> says, "oh gods."
[OOC] Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> goes to cry.
[OOC] Grid Shrike says, "Is that what this is? ^^;"
[OOC] Dawn says, "This is hilarious."
[OOC] Storm Eagle LAUGHS!
[OOC] Sahara Sphinx howls. ^^
[OOC] Guts Man killed 2 actors!
With Rush growling threateningly at his side, Rock looks about to see exactly
where the Hunters are right now. After a few mutterings, he dashes off to
Dawn, looking at her with all seriousness. "What exactly happened. I
was having an outing when I heard something about an emergency and then this.
I think somethings up. Real Stardroids would not be so easy to, well... defeat."
He looks about for a moment and then thinks to himself...
The music is suddenly cut, and one of the stage-hands looks meekish. "Oops.
Fired the music at the wrong time. Sorry." Another stage-hand plucks
the martini out of Crash Man's hand.
"Aww, f!ck." Crash Man grumps.
King looks up at the shouted cry from the bunker, then just....siiiighs. ".....bloody
hell...." he mutters, facepalming. He stands, then notices....my, there
are a lot of Repliforcers....everywhere.
Uranus goes home.
Uranus has left.
Stalker Tiger shrugs and walks over to Crash and Guts. "Hey, got any
beers?" He then eyes the stage hand. "Well shoot." he says,
realizing what's going on. "So...you boys feel like gettin some beers?"
he asks, after retrieving his gun.
Crash Man sighs, "They took my martini!"
Libra has left.
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> 's pilot takes in deep breaths
and stuff...she's laughing too hard to be able to speak.
Chain is suddenly glad he didn't lay a hand on any expensive equipment, and
turns on his heel, taking a puff on his cigarette and listening for the approaching
squad car sirens, "They broke it, they buy it, I'm outta 'ere..."
Guts Man says, "We'll take their lives!"
Chain enters the San Angeles - Wharf District.
Chain has left.
Dawn looks at the source of the voice, extremely annoyed. "What the heck..."
Ok, problem is this knife-like thing in her shoulder is apparently real. Because
it hurts. She yanks it out quickly, then begins flying off for another part
of town..
Sahara and Agent Nerp stare in absolute silence As Leo falls over, head tumbling
to the ground. Both seem to blink in unison, before Sahara comments, in Awe,
"Wow. I guess Dad was right. Cat breath, it's a killer."
A conspicuous floating mechanical hand makes its way over to Crash Man and
hands him a replacement martini, then floats away, equally as conspicuous.
Ten looks about at the scene in confusion. Then suddenly, it hits her. Her
optics go wide andshe yells, "WHAT!? A movie?!" She drops to the
ground from sheer shock. "Oh my gosh!"
Crash Man blinks! "..spooky beverage-delivery. Cool."
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'Well, that made my day at least.'.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Phoebus transmits: '....uh...'.
Luna's headless body twitches again, before powering completely out.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'What about the Hydroelectric plant
though? I'm going back to see how that's holding up.'.
Stalker Tiger stares at the hand. "Got any beers?"
Flare Feline grabs at his head "Ow ow ow ow! Dammit, that hurt you! Why
I..." He hears the yell of 'CUUUUT' and turns to Shadow "Did you
just hear that too?" He waits for Shadow to turn and then dashes at him
again "Made ya look!" Once more he slashes with his claws
Guts Man eyes the people that are upset, "Sheesh what's wrong with them?
It's almost as if they've seen a ghost."
You strike Shadow Man with your Cat Scratch attack.
"A film," the Eagle mutters, metallic feathers shimmering against
the lights. Drawing back archly, the Maverick stands suitably....dumbfounded.
The hand stops, opens a hole in the palm of its hand, and launches a beer
at Stalker Tiger.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Ten transmits: 'I can't believe it! It was just a
movie?!'.
Scorpio is hauled off the set.
Scorpio is, too.
Rock looks about and thinks for a moment. He blinks hearing the voice and
looks about for the director, planning on talking to him or her with all seriousness.
He is not happy at all, and is a bit annoyed, considering what was interrupted
and is not just going to let this rest. After all, people may have been hurt
in this, and it could have turned out much, much worse.
Scorpio has left.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Waitasecond." Crash Man's face brightens in realization.
"If we just fired live ammunition inside San Angeles, then that means
the San Angeles-ian police are on their way. And if they're on their way..
RUN!!"
Shadow Man ows. "Well, nice to know that you got someone to announce
your attack beforehand for you." He then does some cutting of his own,
because he's evil like that.
Dawn enters the San Angeles - Wharf District.
Dawn has left.
Shadow Man strikes you with his Kama for 12 units of damage.
You are below your courage-endurance point.
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Moira transmits: '...Thank the media. Orson Wells
had this same kind of effect when War of the Worlds was broadcast over radio
in the early 20th century.'.
Crash Man quickly sucks down his martini, and bolts for the Young Son.
Stalker Tiger blinks at Crash. "You're right. Got any room on that bike?"
he asks, looking around. Hunters aren't exempt from the law.
Guts Man says, "Wait for me Crash!"
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> stomps out happily, over fake
stardroid corpses and the like
Guts Man runs after his buddy.
Meanwhile, the Director is throwing an absolute fit, barely intelligible.
"GET OFF MY SET, YOU FREAKING LUNATICS!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY
AND TIME YOU'VE COST ME??!! SECURITY TO THE SOUNDSTAGE!!!!!!!"
Crash Man has left.
Announcement: Libra shouts, "I'm setting that room back to no_combat
again. :> Fun's over, thank you for playing."
Stalker Tiger makes like a pair of Sonic's pants, and splits.
Guts Man has left.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'This whole bloody mess was a
movie?? That's it, I'm outta here, before either the director or Shadow Man
kills me.'.
<O-Repliforce> Anthem says, "Hey, Flare, thanks for the idea. :)"
<O-Repliforce> Still has a lot to learn, Flare Feline says, "Idea? What idea? Well, you're welcome anyway, I guess"
Techs surround the smoking wreck that is Taurus, poking at it with defected
sighs. Muttering about how it's going to take them weeks to fix this, they
slowly drag the poor bull away.
King sighs, then shakes his head, looking up wordlessly as he transmits to
the pilot of the orbiting transport. Moments later a doorway shimmers into
view as it opens, the ripples around it suggesting the craft being hid, then
he jumps up, disappearing inside again.
King has left.
Templar blinks at the general realization of what's going on ... he releases
the trigger to his gun, then tightbeams, "<Fall back, class Zeta direct
motion.>" Does he know what he's saying? Probably not. He jumpjets
back to the dropzone, and then moves forward with a handful of aerial marines,
escorting medics/damage control down to the chaotic scene.
From name(me)> Crash Man starts up the engine, and points to the exit.
"Yahoo, Bonzai Buckaroo, and awaaaaay!"
Luna has left.
Sahara Sphinx is, completely, utterly, and -totally-, oblivious to the fact
that she just helped destroy a movie set. She hovers there in mid air, smug
as all get out. "Come, Agent Nerp!" She announces to her side kick,
"We shall go to Neo Tokyo, and tell Mac of our victory! .. Maybe he'll
give us more chocolate roses, Ne?" "Nerp.." Sahara beams, and,
with a flash of gold and silver, the strange little reploid hikes herself
into the air.. and is gone.
Hoverbike <Young Son> lifts up, and drives straight up to the Stealth
Transport. Poor Stalker Tiger, however, is omitted. Aww.
Luna has arrived.
Hoverbike <Young Son> has left.
Jazz has arrived.
Flare Feline was already dazed from the bump Shadow man gives him, then gets
slashed, he deicdes now would be a good time to go, especially after the director's
fit. "Well, it's been fun, short but fun. Too bad this had to turn out
to be a farce." With that, Flare turns and runs off.
Flare Feline retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open for parting
shots from Leo, Luna, Ten, Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Gunslinger>,
Grid Shrike, Storm Eagle, and Taurus.
Merlin has left.
Storm Eagle digs a steel talon into the plascrete, fist clenching as triple
furrows dig into the synthetic rock. Ion plates flare golden, and the Maverick's
normally icy demeanor flickers briefly. "I trust," he begins, "That
this matter will not be pursued to it's conclusion, considering the circumstances
in which we arrived?"
Jazz has left.
Stealth Transport leaves its door open for the other masters to board while the Repliforcers and Hunters are getting themselves organized.
Stalker Tiger instead just runs for the teleport area. He's not getting in
trouble for this one.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Jet Stingray transmits: 'Okay, since /that/ droid stuff
is handled.... Any mind helping me out down here... As much as I love fighting
more than one Maverick at once, Iris make me promise that I should call in
and stuff.'.
Stalker Tiger retreats from the area swiftly, leaving him open for parting
shots from Rock, Leo, Flare Feline, Luna, Sahara Sphinx, Ten, Maverick Hunter
Ride Armor <Gunslinger>, Templar, Grid Shrike, Storm Eagle, and Taurus.
Stealth Transport retreats from the area swiftly, leaving it open for parting
shots from Rock, Leo, Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth>, Rush, Flare
Feline, Luna, Sahara Sphinx, Ten, Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Gunslinger>,
Templar, Grid Shrike, Storm Eagle, Taurus, Shadow Man, and Stalker Tiger.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Ricochet transmits: 'What's going on?'.
<O-Repliforce> Still has a lot to learn, Flare Feline says, "So
this whole mess WAS my fault??? :)"
<O-Repliforce> Anthem says, "Yep. :>"
(Ch. C [RF/Hunter-Com]) Dawn transmits: 'Guys, how's the hydroelectric plant
doing?'.
The Director jumps around like an angry monkey, not listening to anybody else
as the rent-a-cops arrive. "GET THEM! SHOOT THEM! SUUUEEE THEEEEEEMMM!!!!"
Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Behemoth> retreats from the area swiftly,
leaving it open for parting shots from Rock, Leo, Rush, Flare Feline, Luna,
Sahara Sphinx, Ten, Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Gunslinger>, Templar,
Grid Shrike, Storm Eagle, Taurus, Shadow Man, and Stalker Tiger.
(Ch. A [Repliforce]) Flare Feline transmits: 'I'd love to help now sir, but
Shadow man took a nice big piece out of me, literally. I'm headint to the
med bay.'.
Shadow Man says, "Eh, you and what army? Gonna sue us with your big poofy
director pants, eh?"
Sahara Sphinx is gone, man, gone. Off on an Ego boost the size of.. well.
Leo!
You enter the San Angeles - Wharf District.
San Angeles - Wharf District
Sniff, Sniff... Smell that? No, not that, we'll get to that in a minute. The prominate smell is seawater. The wooden piers at one end of the area merge almost seamlessly into the modern plasteel ones at the other end. The next prominent smell is impatience. People unused to the time frames used to aquatic transport are constantly bothering the Dockmaster with requests. Failing that, they bother dock workers. Many have never been heard from again. Large grizzled reploids and humans operate even larger equipment to get cargo from the waiting ships to the many wearhouses. A few shady types can be seen in the darker corners, and lounging about the few pubs in the areas. If you don't have business here and perhaps an armed guard, this place might make you just a bit nervous.

San Angeles - Western Mall District
The usual onslaught of noise pollution assaults you as you enter this district. The same multi level highways decorate the area, with buildings towering above the ground. Yawn. However, there are structures here not found in other places of the city, namely the GigaMalls. These massive cube-like structures are -titanic- in size and contain thousands of stores and restaurants and even woodland parks within. A self contained technological ecosystem in itself. The GigaMalls here are known for having anything and everything you could ever want bad enough to spend the kind of money they charge for it here.

Turbolift - RHQ
This is infact just one of several wide Turbolifts in RHQ. Each one is identical, serving to transport rapidly multiple people. The turbolift is a wide rectangle with smooth metal floors, similar walls, and a sliding golden door with the Repliforce logo on it. To the side of the door is a control panel, where riders designate their desired stops.

This room is one of the largest in the Repliforce Headquarters, rivalled only by the Barracks, Briefing Area and Hangar Bay. This is the place where the wounded reploids come to get their parts replaced or for general tune-ups and tests. The latest technology is in evidence all around the room as programmed reploids scuttle back and forth, both on legs and some on wheels. Thre are numerous Repair beds that will enclose a reploid fully, and there are places for the larger reploids to power down until they get fixed. The room stretches out quite far in all directions, the only two exits leading out are either to the Laboratory or the hangar-bay sized doors into the hallway. The Repair Bay is extremely well lit, and has a definite antiseptic feel to it, as it is always emmaculately clean.

When Stardroids Attack! Sun May 06 Libra
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Earlier this evening, reports came of a massive Stardroid attack, just
outside the San Angeles airport. Laying waste to the city, they did significant
damage before various heroes of the Earth showed up to do battle, and almost
instantly decimated the Stardroids, taking no casualties. Minutes afterwards,
the reason for this was discovered. The filming for 'Return of the Stardroids
- Battle For Earth', produced by Troma Productions, had failed to get the
proper permits for their shooting. As a result, the appearance of their automated
Stardroid props took the world by shock, and the multi-million zenny production
was shattered, blasted and cleaved to an abrupt halt. Fines will be shortly
allocated to the film company for their errors."
