ChatBot: Prysus is now known as ((GM)_Prysus).(18:49:39)
(PC)_Trent): (ready!
)
(18:50:34)
((GM)_Prysus): Shouts, "INCOMING!" *Watches everyone dive for cover to avoid the explosive cut and paste of text.*(18:50:44)
(PC)_Trent): ( teehee )(18:50:50)
((GM)_Prysus): Everything around Trent suddenly starts to change. It's a very odd sensation as he suddenly ceases to exist, and yet he knows exactly what he's doing. This is a cut scene coming up, a flashback in particular where he wasn't present so he clearly can't be there for it. A part of him knows he's still working on the robot, and yet he can't see it or really even sense it, he simply knows as every other sense is pulled into the flashback cut scene ...(18:51:00)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, far younger than he is now, walks through the sewers. His fur is still a bright fire red, and he's wearing a stylish red trench coat. With him is a rat leading the way. The rat is wearing a pair of sunglasses further out on his muzzle leaving a view of the eyes still. Xander (the rat) is talking, "Not much further now. Just around this corner is ..." As they turn a corner they see two Aqua Marines standing guard. Nanato quickly grabs Xander and pulls him around the corner out of sight. Xander breaths heavily, "Oh man, I had no idea. Sorry about that Nanato. They weren't there last time I did this I swear. They must've figured out how I got in here last time."(18:51:16)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato replies, "Don't worry about it. You got me this far. I can handle it the rest of the way."Xander shakes his head, "No way. Those guys are dangerous. I can't leave you here alone. I wouldn't feel right."
Nanato, "It's fine. Things will only get more dangerous once I'm in. Take care, my friend."
Reluctantly Xander looks at him and nods. "All right, if you're sure," he adds as he starts to leave.
Alone now, Nanato turns his attention back around the corner. He turns the corner and sprints with amazing speed. The two guards turn and draw their weapons, ready to fight. However, when they look there is nothing there, just an empty sewer tunnel. Above them, the tail end of the red coat can be seen sliding the rest of the way out of the opening above.
(18:51:28)
((GM)_Prysus): Within the building above Nanato can be seen crackling with lightning for an instant. For those that know the game well realize he must've used a Lightning Dash from the Air Stone. It temporarily charges the holder with power and lets them move at an amazing speed for a very short amount of time. When that happens the body crackles with electricity just like that. He surveys the adjoining hall, and waits in the shadows for two guards to pass, then quickly moves.(18:51:47)
((GM)_Prysus): The next scene shows him entering a room and closing the door stealthily behind him. He puts on an ear piece as he sits at a computer, "All right, I'm in. What do I do now?"A female voice from the ear piece can be heard replying, "Just plug in the device and let me get to work." Nanato plugs in a remote access device and the computer starts displaying files.
(18:51:55)
((GM)_Prysus): The voice of Nanato (present) can be heard as they continue showing flashes of the computer displaying new data, "What we learned that day was ... disturbing to say the least. The Great City had managed to revive DNA from one of a powerful soldier, perhaps the most powerful in all of history. We couldn't find out the soldier's name, but there were reports he went crazy and tried to destroy the entire world. The fools ... they actually thought it would be a good idea to try and clone him. It was titled the Beta Project. They felt they could control him, but they had no idea what they were truly getting themselves into ..."(18:52:19)
((GM)_Prysus): Sirens start to blare in the flashback. The voice on the ear piece sounds, "I must've tripped something on accident. You should get out of there."Nanato asks, "How long before you finish the download?"
"Another minute, but forget the download, just get out of there!"
"I'll get you that minute," Nanato answers. The door swings open as a pair of robot drones enter. His hand crackles with lightning as he lets out a powerful blast of electricity straight into both. The blast carries both into the hallway as they explode in a fiery blast.
Robot drones of all kinds of Aqua Marines get into position. Though the sirens a warning can be heard, "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! All units converge on Computer Operations; Green Sector. Danger Level 10, use extreme caution."
Over wrist communicators the Aqua Marines coordinate, "The target has already taken out several Security and Attack Drones. Surround and close of retreat. Wait for back-up. Do not engage unless engaged first.
(18:52:35)
((GM)_Prysus): Back in the lab the voice sounds, "I have it!" Nanato quickly unplugs the device.In the hall everyone has their weapons ready. It is lined with several enemy, seemingly too many for Nanato to handle alone. To make matters worse they have had time to secure their position. One of the Aqua Marines orders, "Fire!"
All units fire upon the lone Nanato. Electricity stretches out, forming a bubble around Nanato. The intense light from the field causing the laser beams to bend and miss. Nanato quickly stretches out his hands to both sides. The hallway is lit up in a massive inferno. When the flames clear one of the Aqua Marines sees Nanato coming straight for him, but he's too late to do anything about it. Nanato hits him hard. Another marine comes from the side. With swift reflexes Nanato moves back and grabs the attacker. Yet another opponent grabs onto Nanato and all three go tumbling out a window.
(18:52:42)
((GM)_Prysus): They're high up in a skyscraper and falling fast. In mid-air the battle continues. The one behind Nanato tries to impale him with a sword. Weaving his body in mid-air Nanato is able to avoid it; he wraps one of his arms around the hands to keep the sword in place as he throws an elbow back into the face. The one in front of him goes to attack with an axe while his hands are tied up. Using the ensnared sword Nanto parries the axe. As the axe is knocked to the side Nanato uses the captured sword to stab down and into the one in front of him. In the same moment he lets go of the stabbing sword he grabs onto the axe. Then, with a foot he pushes down on the sword hilt, driving it even deeper into his opponent, kicking him away at the same time as he pulls the axe free. Finally Nanato turns in the air to face the other. He dodges a punch, then simply grabs on and pushes away with a double kick to the chest. From the force the Aqua Marine is slammed into the wall and goes spiraling further down.(18:52:52)
((GM)_Prysus): Meanwhile, the force of the kick gives a boost to his jump, sending Nanato close to the across building. As he falls he plants the axe into the wall. His momentum continues to carry him down, but the axe digging into the wall, tearing it apart as the blade slides down it, is helping to slow his moment. Suddenly it gets jammed and stops completely. The momentum from falling causes him to spin on the axe for a moment until he releases, carrying him over to a nearby walkway between several of the buildings. He lands crouched, but quickly stands and looks back to the building he had just left. He's out, and now it's time to get going. Before he can get far the walkway suddenly becomes filled with squads of Aqua Marines on both sides with Nanato pinned in between them.(18:53:26)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato looks at both sides, getting ready to continue this fight. Suddenly all the guards just start moving back. At first Nanato thinks that they're smart, but then he gets a startling realization. It's not fear causing them to retreat, they're making room. A troubled look marks the face of Nanato. He turns, and then slowly looks up. Floating down as if the wind gracefully slowing his decent is a silver sable: the Beta Project! The game's theme music for Beta starts to play. It's very similar to the original character's music from the previous game, but with minor alterations to make it still unique yet recognizable. His thoughts are frantic at first. Is it actually flying?! No, that's not it. The sable is wearing a harness. It has to be for flight. If he can take out the harness he can make it a simple ground fight. He can do this. Nanato gets ready to fight. The voice from the ear piece shouts out, "Run away! Run as fast as you can!" In all the commotion he had never removed it.(18:53:46)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato replies, "No, this is our chance to end this once and for all."The voice screams out, "No, you don't understand! It's ... just a ... they ..." The voice breaks up as the reception starts to get bad. There's only static now. They must be jamming them, or the ear piece was damaged in all the fighting. It is a sensitive piece of machinery and was never designed to handle such conditions. With a soft step the sable lands on the walkway. Nanato moves in for the attack. Before he can get close Beta counter attacks with his sword. Nanato is able to duck, then side step, and with a diving roll he dodges and gets behind Beta in one move. Two blades release from the sleeve's of his coat as Nanato goes in to attack the back with one quick finishing move. Beta turns effortlessly and parries them with his sword. A smile marks the face of the sable.
(18:53:56)
((GM)_Prysus): Both start attacking at a furious pace, their moves starting to blur from the speed, and both of their defenses up to the challenge. Beta moves back from an attack, gliding away from the walkway. Quickly Nanato moves, he leaps off the walkway and attacks again. With ease Beta parries. With the momentum Nanato is able to push off to reach a wall, then jumps off the wall for another attack, there is a crackle of electricity in his wake indicating he's used the boost from the Air Stone again. There is a flurry of attacks which are eventually interrupted by an upward swing from the sword of Beta. Still in the air Nanato is able to use both of his blades to parry. The force carries him up. Quickly Beta lets go a series of kicks that juggles Nanato in the air. As Nanato finally starts to come back down he turns his body making it into another attack, slashing into the harness of Beta. It lets out sparks of power from the damage.(18:54:08)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato is able to land on a walkway further down. Beta takes off the harness and discards it off to the side as it explodes. As Beta lands on the same walkway Nanato lets the smile show. Beta tilts his head ever so slightly and comments, "Interesting. You seem pleased with yourself." His voice is smooth and seductive.Nanato looks at him with confidence, "Without that harness, this is a ground battle now. Besides, now I know you won't be escaping before this is finished."
Beta raises his other hand, held between two fingers is the device he used to back-up all the data they took! "Odd, I was thinking the same thing."
(18:54:17)
((GM)_Prysus): The face of Nanato shows his shock, and then it quickly turns into anger. Damn! Beta had let him take out the vest so he could take the data from him. Nanato moves in and attacks quickly. Their battle only intensifies from what it was earlier. Both of their weapons clash, they push off, and then dash in fast for another attack. There is a splatter of blood that flies up into the air from an attack. Neither has moved yet from the position which they landed. Finally, Beta turns. There are two deep cuts in his chest. It looks like Nanato hit, forming an 'x' on the chest. Then Nanato turns, he is slower and stumbles. He has a gash on his face over his left eye. Beta smiles, "I see you."(18:54:24)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato lets out a growl. He lost an eye, but Beta has lost his harness and has a severe chest wound. Neither have a serious advantage here. This battle isn't lost yet. Beta looks at him, seeing the determination, and tells him, "If you're going to kill me ..." He taps the wound with his hand, as if telling Nanato right there. "Then you better do it fast. Your opportunity is fast running out." At first Nanato doesn't get what is being said, but then he realizes! As he looks closer he notices the slashes on Beta's chest are already healing! It's happening right before his eyes. This rate of healing is beyond any Terran means. He's not just fighting a clone, he's fighting something more. As the horror of the situation starts to set into Nanato, Beta smiles and adds, "That's right. If you wish to kill me, you must do it in one hit."(18:54:36)
((GM)_Prysus): There is the sound of more hits that can't be seen; then suddenly Nanato goes falling over an edge. He lands on the floor. Their fight has carried them back down to ground level. Beta comes floating down again. The good of Nanato widens. The harness is gone! So ... then how?! Aqua Marines start to surround Nanato. He's getting surrounded. As Beta lands he lifts his sword into the air and proclaims, "Do not worry Nanato. Soon, it will all come to an end."(18:54:44)
((GM)_Prysus): The voice of Nanato (present) can be heard again, "Those words still haunt me to this day. I could tell in the way he said it he didn't just mean for me, he meant for everyone. He was going to carry out his plan to destroy everything again."(18:54:51)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato lets out a scream as he stands up. Pure fiery rage stretches out in every direction, encompassing all those around him. In the blaze Nanato disappears, having used the moment to make his escape. A circle of fire still burn around where he once stood. The scene focuses in on the eye of Beta through the flames. The flashback cut scene comes to and end and everything around them returns to normal. Naturally, for the characters in game they never noticed anything difference, as if Nanato had only been telling the story the entire time.(18:54:58)
((GM)_Prysus): ((Done!))(18:55:31)
(PC)_Trent): *reads*
(19:05:04)
(PC)_Trent): (done reading)
(19:09:00)
(PC)_Trent): "that was some story!"
(19:09:13)
(PC)_Trent): oO(and a cool cutscene.)(19:09:55)
(PC)_Trent): oO(I wonder who he was working with. Could the feminine voice have been Grandmother? :-? )(19:13:18)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "After the battle I sent the Fire and Air Stone out in the hopes someone more capable would find them and be able to use them to stop him." Even though he says more capable, the fact of the matter is in the cut scene he used them far better than any character in the game ever could. Of course, Trent knows (though it hasn't been revealed in this game yet) from previous play that the longer one holds onto the stones the more powerful they get, or more to the point the more capable the one holding them gets at using them. In the game, none of the characters have them for more than a few weeks before they have to fight Beta. However, from everything Nanato has said, he had them for years.*(19:15:18)
(PC)_Trent): "That is why we're here. To find out more about them. Isn't it? Isn't that our goal? To stop Beta, and the best way to do it seems to be the stones?" *more a question to Sky and Holliday, and it's obvious from his tone he's curious, not sarcastic.*(19:16:08)
((GM)_Prysus): Sky, "Yes." *To Nanato.* "Can you tell us where he is now?"(19:18:58)
(PC)_Trent): *watches Nanato intently*(19:21:10)
((GM)_Prysus): *Nanato shakes his head no.* "I'm afraid not. That conflict is the last I saw of him. I do not know how he intends to carry out his plans. After what happened, my name became well known as a terrorist to the authority of the Great City. That is how I ended up here, an exile. I thought about going home often ..." *It sounds like he's thinking of something more fond, perhaps of 'grandmother.'* "But I could not, not without seeing that things were settled first. To some of the people, they still know and believe in me. They keep me informed, but no one has ever reported seeing him since. I believe he may have taken over the Great City from within and now works behind its scenes."Sky, "No, that's not it."
Nanato looks at him oddly. Sky simply adds, "I know," but doesn't elaborate more than that. In most games she has some type of encounter with Beta early in the game that can lead her starting this quest, often having left some type of clue (though usually still rather vague) as to what he is doing.
(19:22:25)
(PC)_Trent): "Maybe his... ally is in charge?"(19:22:30)
(PC)_Trent): "or else just a jerk."(19:24:39)
(PC)_Trent): "Okay... how do these stones work? I mean, who made them?"(19:24:59)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "I do not know. But, there have been many strange going ons within the Great City for some time now. I was attempting to investigate its source when I came upon Beta's file." *He strokes his furry chin thinking on the matter.* "I know someone. He has been asking for my help, but in my current condition I can be of little use to him. But ... if you help him, I believe he can help you get another of the stones."(19:25:56)
((GM)_Prysus): Sky, "We will ... consider it."(19:28:05)
(PC)_Trent):
oO(Mini
quest! )
(19:41:07)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato (second question), "The stones ... yes. After the Bomb (note: This was a human world until the "After the Bomb," name of the original game before the Final Enclave series, created mutant animals and the like, and so much technology was lost) the world begain to undergo a great change. The Bomb did not just affect man and beast though, it also began to attack the world itself. Whether the planet raised a defense, perhaps by pure chance, or some reason I have yet to figure out, the harmeful elements were channeled into four particular areas. These four areas were a focus point in our world for each element. The element hardened, and crystallized. Within it our planet's fury and its bane. A hardened piece of element has no inherent power, as you may well know. But remember, this also had properties of the Bomb, that which transformed beast into what you see before you now. What you see there is our world infected by the Bomb."(19:41:10)
((GM)_Prysus): "Had it not been contained such our entire world would have transformed. Infernos whose flames could not be extinguished, uncontrolled lightning raining down from the sky, the seas frozen ten times over. The longer you hold onto one the more it infects you, becoming a part of your very being." ((GM Reminder: In the flashback he had fire red fur, now he has white. Also, even though he didn't have the Fire Stone he was still able to use fire powers to help them escape.)) "Whether the stones are a blessing, or a curse, is yet to be determined."(19:42:41)
((GM)_Prysus): ((I dont' think I described that as well as I could have, but hopefully the idea is still clear.))(19:43:35)
((GM)_Prysus): ((And, for note, I'm not explaining what "The Bomb" was.
))
(19:44:59)
(PC)_Trent): (teehee)(19:45:12)
(PC)_Trent): "I see. Are there just 4 stones?"(19:46:17)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "I once believed so, but after having seen the Beta Project in action I do not know. Maybe, somehow, the Great City found another."(19:47:51)
(PC)_Trent): *looks to Sky to see if she has any questions.*(19:48:11)
(PC)_Trent): oO(So not used to letting someone else lead, but it's very educational.)(19:51:34)
((GM)_Prysus): Sky, "You said you and your allies were able to download the details to Beta. Is there anything more you can remember about what you saw? Or if your remote ally may have a copy?"(19:52:49)
((GM)_Prysus): Having worked on the robot for some time now, he thinks he has it repaired.(19:53:19)
((GM)_Prysus): ((Trent gets the urge to shout out, "I got it!"))(19:53:23)
(PC)_Trent): "I got it!"(19:54:08)
((GM)_Prysus): Everyone turns to Trent. Sky, "You actually managed to get a copy while we were in the city?"(19:54:51)
(PC)_Trent): *waits for a prompt* <_<; ;>_> oO(Do I? Oh... wait... >_< my player is so totally messing with me)
(19:55:05)
(PC)_Trent): "Er... Eureka? I fixed the robot!"
(19:55:25)
(PC)_Trent): "Why is everyone staring at me? I'm a mechanic." *shrugs* "it's what I do."(19:55:43)
((GM)_Prysus): ((It's not so much the player, as it is part of the programmed character of Lester Remington. Basically once in a while I add in "Trent gets the urge to ..." as a result of being part of the game character.))(19:56:00)
(PC)_Trent): (teehee)(19:56:10)
(PC)_Trent): (i thought it was player prompts :-? )(19:56:41)
((GM)_Prysus): ((There are those too. But like in game one with "5 more minutes mom ..." was a NPC prompt.))(19:57:28)
((GM)_Prysus): Holiday groans as if it genuinely hurts him, "I should have known." Aerial laughs, thinking it's cute. Sky, "Uh ... that's good. Why don't you turn it on and show us what it can do?"
(19:57:48)
(PC)_Trent): *grins and turns it on* "Okay... activate!"
(19:58:01)
((GM)_Prysus): Nothing happens.
(19:58:21)
(PC)_Trent): *tries to turn it on* :-?(19:58:58)
((GM)_Prysus): While he seems to have repaired it properly, it doesn't appear to be turning on.(19:59:30)
(PC)_Trent): "I don't got it."
(20:00:21)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "The robots of the city are initially charged by the city's power station. It may simply not have enough power yet."(20:00:33)
(PC)_Trent): "Oh! okay."(20:00:51)
(PC)_Trent): "I wonder if I can use the air stone to charge it. Hmmmm." *thoughtfully*(20:01:06)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "Hmm ... that may work."(20:01:51)
(PC)_Trent): *pulls out the air stone, and attempts to use it to power up the robot*(20:02:08)
(PC)_Trent): (though if he can't make it work soon, will ask Nanato.)
(20:05:06)
((GM)_Prysus): Trent tries to use the air stone. Electricity surges through the robot. It looks like he's electrocuting it as the entire 'bot is encompassed in the surge of power. Finally Trent can no longer sustain the blast and he has to stop. A light comes on in the bot though. It indicates it's trying to process information, likely a start up program.(20:07:45)
(PC)_Trent): "It's booting."
*watches it boot up, rather excited.*
(20:08:36)
((GM)_Prysus): It finally comes fully online. The robot speaks, "Error. Primary programming is lacking. I am defective. A recall of this unit is recommended."(20:09:48)
(PC)_Trent): "Enter 'Safe' Mode."(20:10:29)
(PC)_Trent): "Give Administrative Access rights to user: Trent. Access Help commands. List commands."(20:12:51)
(PC)_Trent): (or I can just roll Computer Programming and try to set up a basic program so he won't try to recall himself.)
)
(20:13:36)
(PC)_Trent): (Yes, you're defective. I'm a technician repairing you.How
do you feel?
)
(20:13:51)
ChatBot: (PC)_Trent) rolls 1d100 and gets (77)=77.(20:14:23)
((GM)_Prysus): Robot, "Safe mode accepted. Now entering Hibernation while awaiting further commands." *It powers down, but not all the way off. Its systems are still working, but it's using minimal powers while repairs are made.(20:14:58)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato is able to provide a computer, and with some work Trent should be able to create a relay unit to retrieve/view information from the robot.(20:15:28)
(PC)_Trent): *makes a few adjustments so it won't try to recall itself or anything like that, and accepts Trent as the tech, then grins at Nanato.* "Thanks! Good idea. Let's see what his databanks hold."(20:15:47)
(PC)_Trent): "Okay, big guy, what was your last memory..." *looks*(20:19:56)
((GM)_Prysus): As for the systems, from the programming he appears to be a combat robot. It still has the programming to move, talk, act, fight, and pretty much operate at full capacity. However, the actual programming, "what" it is supposed to do is missing. From the look of things it's an actual intelligent responsive type robot. While it can take orders it can also think and respond to stimuli similar to a person. However, what is missing is it's objectives. Basically, whatever memories it had are wiped clean and it has no orders to actually follow. The robots tend to have "primary" and "secondary" objectives/programming. This tells it what it is meant to do. Those objectives/programming is missing, so it doesn't know what it's supposed to do and therefore must be defective.
(20:21:55)
(PC)_Trent): "Primary objective: Protect Aerial and Trent. Secondary objectives: Protect (everyone else in the group) "(20:25:10)
((GM)_Prysus): And yes, Trent can enter the programming. Though he'll need to tell it he's done and to exit "Safe" mode and hibernation.(20:25:22)
((GM)_Prysus): I didn't want to cut you off.
(20:26:04)
(PC)_Trent): *finishes making the new objective, and boots it back up in normal mode.*(20:26:10)
(PC)_Trent): "Hi."
(20:28:26)
((GM)_Prysus): Robot, "Hello." *It looks around the room, then back to Trent.* "Protection protocol, where do I find my targets?" *Start up procedure: States its purpose, but in this case it doesn't know who Trent and Aerial actually are.*(20:29:12)
(PC)_Trent): "I am Trent."(20:29:40)
(PC)_Trent): oO(Just in case he doesn't understand "Protect," I don't want to make Aerial a "target." Unless I know it's safe.)(20:43:00)
((GM)_Prysus): Robot, "Trent. Recognition accepted. Second primary target: Aerial?"Aerial, "Hi."
Robot: "Aerial. Recognition accepted."
Sky: "Hi. So you appear to know some of our names. Do you have a name?"
The robot thinks about it, processing. "Unknown. Do I have a name?"
*It's
at this point the character can be named. Default title is "A. Bot 16" standing
for Attack Robot #16. However, the player suggestion appears to be "Evrym"
(though Trent gets the actual rights of naming). Though more notable, naming a
character means it's part of the group.
Trent
has never heard of a robot party member before. The game does tend to give
frequent update patches, usualy just fixing minor bugs, but sometimes adding in
new storylines, new scenes, and even at times all new characters. If that's the
case then this must be the result of a relatively recent update patch.*
(20:43:31)
(PC)_Trent): oO(Evrym?)
(20:43:55)
(PC)_Trent): oO(That's the first time that the Player went with a non-default name.)
(20:44:50)
((GM)_Prysus): ((GM has a very odd sense of humor, but you'll just have to trust me on it.))
(20:45:28)
(PC)_Trent): *Names him Evrym2.*(20:48:29)
((GM)_Prysus): ((And maybe it was just because the name "A bot" was so lame.))
(20:48:47)
(PC)_Trent): (teehee)(20:57:35)
((GM)_Prysus): Aerial, "Well, nice to meet you Evrym 2."(20:58:13)
((GM)_Prysus): Evrym2, "Hmm ... so that is what a name is? Thank you."(21:00:03)
(PC)_Trent):*introduces
everyone*
(21:00:37)
(PC)_Trent): "I don't want to make any assumptions. Evrym2... would you classify yourself as Sentient? Or non sentient?" *cautiously*(21:01:35)
((GM)_Prysus): Evrym2, "I am fully aware of my surroundings."(21:03:13)
(PC)_Trent): (brb)(21:09:58)
(PC)_Trent): (back)(21:10:15)
((GM)_Prysus): ((Welcome back.))
(21:11:37)
(PC)_Trent): oO(So about as smart as a Vuxlar before the first upgrade. Not to be underestimated, but can't have a good conversation on abstracts.)(21:12:50)
((GM)_Prysus): ((As a GM: Maybe a bit above a Vuxlar. This one is capable of learning. But yeah, his intelligence level is about how they first met the Vuxlar, but he can learn on his own.))(21:12:53)
(PC)_Trent): "Nevermind."
(21:13:09)
(PC)_Trent): (right. First met vuxlar... but with potential to grow)
(21:13:49)
((GM)_Prysus): ((Well, when he first, first met them, they were stuck to programming only and just repeating without real thought.This
one can't break programming, but it can still learn and grow.
(21:14:14)
(PC)_Trent): *turns to Aerial.* "Um... didn't you have a message for Nanato from Grandmother? >_< "(21:14:29)
(PC)_Trent): "Or was I so busy repairing the android that I didn't see you give it?"(21:15:55)
((GM)_Prysus): ((GM doesn't recall if she had a message or not so ... if she did, it was done while off screen, while Trent was working. I honestly don't remember. But hey, at least I admit it.))
(21:18:01)
(PC)_Trent): *turns to Nanato* "Thank you for letting me use your shop.And
for your help. Do you happen to know of any other allies, information, or
contacts who might aide us?"
(21:27:18)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "I can only think of the one ally who could be help, but he has his own goals which you'll need to resolve first. But ..." *He pauses.* "There is one thing I may be able to provide to help you on your quest." *Nanato stands up, and goes into one of his drawers. He takes something out and faces Sky.* "This is a blade upgrade, if you are interested. It will let you harness the power from the stones faster so you can use their power more often." ((Mechanics translation: It lets you build Special Techniques faster.))(21:27:57)
(PC)_Trent): "Sweet."
(21:28:10)
(PC)_Trent): "Sky? Did you get an upgrade yet?"(21:28:49)
((GM)_Prysus): I believe she got the Aqua Marine upgrade herself at the city, I can't recall for sure though. I know she started off with an upgrade and may have changed or not.(21:29:17)
(PC)_Trent): (I know i got techno booster)
(21:29:19)
((GM)_Prysus): Sky, "Thank you. But, I would have to request if possible you let Trent have it instead."
(21:29:32)
((GM)_Prysus): ((Is that the one you got?))(21:29:40)
(PC)_Trent): (Nod.)(21:29:43)
((GM)_Prysus): ((I thought it was Aqua Marine. My mistake.))
(21:29:58)
(PC)_Trent): (I was debating between the two)
(21:33:10)
((GM)_Prysus): And you can respond to Sky's comment if you'd like. Also roll a D20 for luck.(21:33:16)
ChatBot: (PC)_Trent) rolls 1d20 and gets (19)=19.(21:33:24)
(PC)_Trent): "Really? You want me to have it? Thanks"
(21:33:34)
(PC)_Trent): "Though I already have an upgrade"
(21:35:54)
((GM)_Prysus): Sky, "We're going back to the Great City. We need the other stone, and if there's even a chance that the information they found on Beta is still in their systems, then we can't pass up the opportunity. Once inside we're going to be going against a lot of machines."(21:37:15)
(PC)_Trent): "Right... which is why I got the techno booster."(21:39:22)
(PC)_Trent): "But... if you think it's best... I can swap out the upgrades." *thoughtfully*(21:42:34)
((GM)_Prysus): Sky, "I think it would. Your attacks can take out their robots swiftly and over a large area, which will also be useful against their army of Aqua Marines." Nanato, "If you may, I believe I an help resolve this matter."(21:42:50)
(PC)_Trent): "Oh?"
(21:47:58)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "I believe I can modify your weapon to house two upgrade slots instead of just one."(21:49:06)
(PC)_Trent): Eyes go wide: "That... would be awsome!"
(21:49:27)
(PC)_Trent): "Thank you. That would be greatly appreciated."
(21:49:47)
(PC)_Trent): *hands over his sword respectfully, using both hands with the blade flat in his palms.(21:49:53)
((GM)_Prysus): Nanato, "It will take some time." Sky, "That's fine. We'll need time to prepare our assault anyways. And if we're doing this favor for your friend, we may need some help pulling it off."(21:51:52)
((GM)_Prysus): And anything you'd like to do? Or just fast forward a lot of it to set up for the city raid, with plans already basically set?(21:52:40)
(PC)_Trent): can FF. will be spending time talking to Evrym2, just trying to get a better feel for his capabilities (through talking rather than invasive looking at codes)(21:56:11)
((GM)_Prysus): Evrym2 is intelligent, but perhaps a better way to describe him is like a child. He doesn't really understand everything yet, and needs to learn (book smart, but not world smart). ((A Palladium dragon might be a fitting comparison. Skills, knowledge, but this little kid who still doesn't know anything about the world.))(21:56:38)
(PC)_Trent): (ah, okay)
(21:59:14)
((GM)_Prysus): As for the plans ... they will be making their move on the Great City. It is agreed that Nanato's contact will use his army (yes, the contact has an amry, but small) to draw out the bulk of the city's defenses, making it easier for Sky and the others to get in. As for the group, they have already identified the building of their focus. It should, if they do it right, lead to the leaders of the Great City (so they can get to the bottom of what is going on) and a chance to access the computer system and perhaps learn more about Beta. It's the simplistic layout, and you have to figure I'm skipping over the more fine details, but I guess I just don't feel it's necessary in this particular situation (due to being in a video game that we're fast forwarding so much of anyways).(22:02:54)
((GM)_Prysus): I don't think I want to start the actual raid tonight (because I don't want to cut off half way through it, and it's late). But we can do a bit more stuff if you want or have ideas. I at least wanted to give the basic outline of the plan though instead of going through the actual strategy session (it's just easier this way).
(22:03:12)
(PC)_Trent): Good place to end it.We
did get quite a bit done
(22:03:40)
((GM)_Prysus): Thanks for playing. *Hugs.*(22:04:01)
(PC)_Trent): *hugs!* thanks for running
