[Ren figures there are terrorists around here somewhere, but they seem to be hiding. Nasty bastards.] ( Sorry. ^_^; ) * Yvonne has joined #sabterrorists (Correction) [Ren then suddenly notices a bit of movement at the lower corner of one of the windows, having seen that, he can now spot that there's a couple of guys apparently on the upper level of the two level train cars. Currently windows are closed and solid. Ren can shoot if he likes.] ( by 5 enough to tell if they're civvies or TERRORISTS? ) ( Yeah, terrrorists, definately terrorists. There are civies gassed and out cold in the seats in the train, so missing can easily mean dead civies. ) * Ren whips out an uzi, and sprays lead in the general area of the TERRORISTS, careful to not to let the spray hit no farther than he's sure of them being TERRORISTS or not. [Ren shatters a window and successfully kills one, or you figure that cause he screamed in pain and fell over and stopped screaming.] [Yvonne!] * Yvonne zips up to Ren. "Hi!" * Yvonne then looks over the car for some means of entering without getting shot to hell. (Awareness roll Yvonne) ( Mwaha! ) * Ren grins ferally at the swiss-cheese window. "Blaze in hell!" [Yvonne thinks they're everywhere man, everywhere! She doesn't even feel safe standing where she is, there's between a half dozen to a dozen of them and they're getting ready to unleash a hail of bullets.] * Yvonne backs away, then. Good luck, Ren! (Awareness rolls. -4 bonus) * Ren shrugs at the retreating Yvonne. Bye, Yvonne! [Anyone who makes notices a lower level door to the car opens, you're not sure what openned it.] [At this point three windows break as a hail of bullets is fired down at Ren. [Fortunately, like hail, they aren't aimed well at all. Give me one defense roll Ren! +1 from spreading.] GOD DAMN IT I HATE TELEPORTERS! [And who will need a jump roll -2 from hover, to get to the second level.] * Ren sidesteps the hail of bullets, smirking. [Ren's turn!] * Ren simply returns fire. "This is how it's done, fools!" * Kurt spins around, looking for the damn teleporter. [Kurt spins in time to see the guy grinning and openning up on him with the assault rifle. He's smirking. "Actually I hate melee fighters, so I suppose we're on equal footing."] [His aim is off though, so Kurt has no trouble dodging.] [Kurt!] * Kurt keeps spinning and lashes out with one leg as he pivots on the other, striking for the guy's side. If it connect, it's gonna be a whole lot of hurting. [Guy appears most of the way down the train car, still smirking. "Wow, I'll bet that would have hurt."] Bastard, I'm going to kill you. [The remaining terrorist decides Kurt's now his priority and opens fire, probably hitting a few people in the car by accident.] [He's actually somewhat on target. Dodge roll Kurt! Remember penalties if you don't have extra defenses. +1 from spreading.] * Kurt decides to stop all the bullets with his body, just to save the innocents. He falls limply to the ground, smelling slightly of burnt cotton. Whoo! ::The guy ducks to be out of easy window shot range and seems ready to finish the job, just like he was instructed:: [Miles turn, once he shows. Then Ren, Kurt, Teleporter, Terrorist.] * Miles has joined #sabterrorists [Miles!] (Current situation:) (What?) (Oh.( (There's the G-19 car) (There's three broken windows on the upper level. Only one guy still standing (in the brown jacket) but you need an awareness check to see him if you're porting outside the car rather than inside) (So, you going outside or inside? Inside takes a powerusage roll.) (Made the awareness roll, wasn't going inside. ^^;) [Miles can see the guy in the brown jacket from before standing near the end of the car. Ren can too. No sign of Kurt from outside, and the last non-dead normal terrorist has ducked out of sight.] [Miles's turn!] [And no one sees Miles arrive.] * Miles works his magic, and !Khyla walks out and looks *pissed*. She jumps up at the Terrorist and takes a solid swing at him. [!Kahyla swings rather effectively, but he manages to port out of the way in time and appears at the other end of the car. Kurt disappeared from the middle after some gunfire, for the record.] [Ren's turn!] * Kahlya has joined #sabterrorists (Kahlya isn't here yet, but just getting her now to save time.) * Ren pops out in a burst of fur, just as Miles and Co pop in, going for just past one of the windows with a Very Much Dead terrorist behind it. [Ren makes it in. See's a terrorist creeping towards Kurt's body in the middle of the car. Guy seems to be moving to finish him off. Behind him Kahlya is looking angry that she missed. In front of him at the far end of the car is the guy in the brown jacket.] [I'll allow an attack, since this was simple LoS teleport.] * Ren whips his shotgun to bear at the Soon To Be Dead Terrorist. Wait, didn't he just have an uzi in hand? Oh well. BLAM! (This the nearby one and not the end of the hall one I assume? Okay if I'm wrong.) ( The one creeping on Kurt. ) [Guy doesn't hear it coming and is knocked to the ground by the force of the blow. Given all the blood seeping up through his back, you don't think he's getting up.] [Kurt doesn't do anything.] [Brown leather guy fires at Ren and Kahlya. "My, reinforcements, and such persistance."] * Ren grins fangily at the guy in the leather. "And you shall be Judged next." [Alright dodge rolls !Kahlya and Ren!] [Both dodge successfully] [Real Kahlya, who shows up outside now, not having heard any mines on the way.] * Ren flicks his glance Up for a moment, then resumes his green eyed gaze back on the one who's probbaly the leader. At least the last one left standing. * Kahlya comes rushing in through the doors, the mist flying in first through the window, obscuring her actual movements. "Reinforcements are right. Silly you to be fooled by imitations." She slashes at the guy as she goes past. [Init order, for the record: Kahlya, Miles, Ren, Kurt, Leather jacket.] * Leather jacket gets sliced and thrown to the side of the car, about a quarter of the way to the middle and Kurt's body. "My.. still alive I see. So much for elementals." [Miles!] * Miles concentrates a bit, and Kurt just vanishes from his location. He appears next to, well, nobody, but out of sight of the battle at least. * Ren glances back. "Glad ya got him out. Don't have to worry 'bout him now!" * !Khalya rushes at the guy in the brown leather jacket and swings with a great deal of success, straight through him in fact. However he doesn't seem bothered by this fact.] ( *foreheadslap* ) (Lesse Miles, give me a +8 awareness check, sense of choice) [Miles gets in, fast; he grabs the body, fast; he gets out to relative safety, fast; he realizes that his isn't actually Kurt's body, fast, when it explodes on him while he's carrying it.] [Ren!] [You hear a distant explosions. Brown leather jacket snickers as he regains his footing after Kahlya knocked him about. "Ninjas. God bless 'em." * Ren dissapears in a burst of fur! He's been doing a lot of that. [Kurt!] * Kurt appears behind mistar casual-day and lashes out with a simple front kick at the guy's ass, and I don't mean his donkey. [Guy takes a kick in the ass and is knocked most of the way to the other side of the car.] * Kahlya mutters, almost to herself. "Dammit, we need to take one of them alive...how the hell do you keep a porter alive?" * Kurt disappears, then suddenly reappears in front of the flying teleporter, snatches him out of the air by his neck, and chokeslams him into the floor of the car. * Ren curses rather loudly. "Bet the bastard put them inside the walls." He did! It's a chain, going straight up through the sea bed. [And he goes down and stays down! Not smirking any more, but hard to smark when you're out cold.] If we don't stop it, they're going to go off and we're all going to DROWN. * Kurt looks sorta panicked. Put what? WHAT? * Yvonne has joined #sabterrorists Because I can't find anything on this side. * Miles appears. "Who, what, WHAT'S GOING ON?!" He looks very beaten up from Kurt's explosion, but he's not letting that stop him. [Yvonne appears outside. And we're out of init, but time sensative.] There are bombs in the ceiling of the tunnel outside. IN the ceiling, teleported there! We've got twenty seconds until they go off and blow a hole from here straight to the ocean. * Ren hisses. "Cheshire.... you better pull through here..." WE'RE ALL GONNA DROWN. Um...that's...not good. * Miles puts on his glasses and looks up. They there? (What's the range on the glasses?) * Yvonne blinks. "I came just in time." (None listed, but I think around 10 meters.) [Yeah, you can see one, about five meters into the rock.] * Kahlya looks at her scythe. "I could probably find them...but I don't know...cutting the tunnel doesn't seem like a good idea. I can see it, but I don't know how to get to it! * Miles points straight up at the rock. "About five meters in!" Cut through the rock? What do you say? [Round passes] DO IT. * Ren curls up real small, and closes his eyes. "Cheshire..." *dissapears, leaving the bulky SWAT armor behind* * Kahlya nods and gets up to the roof. "Miles, it's thick enough to take it right?" Her scythe is glistening with misty white frost as she goes. * Miles throws a bunch of seeds and concentrates, the seeds quickly germinating, taking root, and growing into a series of *very* strong oak-trees built around the tunnel to help support the explosion area. I hope so... [Ren reappears a moment later, he's not in good shape, he's got a few chunks of rock protruding from his skin at various points, still alive, but hurting like crazy and will need medical attention pretty damn soon.] [A forest grows in the chunnel!] * Kahlya listens for telltale signs of the mines and tries to carve a precise hole so only the mine drops out. Do the trains still work? We could get out of here with them quick. * Ren gasps, and decides to lie there. (Alright. Anyone who heard that, give me a driving (trains) roll. Or mechanical (trains)) (I'm not even going to attempt that.) ( I'm not even going to think about that. ) * Miles holds out his force ball again and it pulsates. "Please... Please help me..." ( Yvonne, you try that roll?) (I'll give you a -4, your idea after all) ( Heck, I'll do it ) * Ren groans, and gets back up. "... ow." ( After I finish pinging out ¬_¬ ) ( Or ponging out. ) ( AFK-ish. ) ( I need to sleep. At this rate I'm never gonna be able to run BH tomorrow. ) [Kahlya, while in the small space between the roof and the tunnel top successfully cuts a hole into the rock itself, as hunks of rock from the hole fall down the ceiling seems somewhat destabalized but her precision is enough that it holds for now. Unfortunately no mine falls out.] (Don't worry, just have one round left.) [Round passes.] [Oh and Kahlya, give me a dodge roll or take some falling rock damage.] * Yvonne looks at the trains. "Ok! I need help! One of you teleporters go over there and decouple those three cars. Oh, and someone get all the civvies there. I'll move to the engine." * Yvonne dashes off to do that. "Hurry!" * Kurt jumps up onto the roof and begins tossing rubble aside as it's cut out. [Kahlya is hit by a couple rocks, but then is safely protected by Kurt.] * Kahlya doesn't care, she's looking up at the roof. She looks kinda freaked. [Yvonne, speed roll and then mechanics (train/automive) or driving (trains) roll at -4.] Keep cutting, dammit! * Miles looks over at Ren. "I can't move people like that, please hurry!" * Kahlya nods. "Right!" She tries another swing, listening carefully. [Ren ports way.] (Correct, Ren does what he tells me to do. (Correction, Ren tells me what he does.) * Miles looks like he's just panicing one second, then shakes his head and assumes an absolute calm. He's looking up with his glasses and, if he can, directs Kahlya to the *exact* location of the mine. [Kahlya manages to dig again, we'll say the penalty dropped a bit because Miles is helping and she's done it once before. But... she still doesn't do it.] ( How far has Kahlya dug the hole? ) * Yvonne yells back from up by the engine. "YOU GUUUUUUYS! Uncouple the cars!" [Meanwhile the train shakes a bit and there's the sound of the engines starting far ahead of you.] (Either not quite far enough, or in the wrong direction.) (Has Ren done that already?) [There's the distant sound of gunfire from the back of the train while the engine tries to jerk the car forward, but the decoupling apparently isn't in place yet.] [Meanwhile... BOOOOM! Kurt and Khalya, give me ranged (personal defense) rolls. -4 for level of speed.] * Kurt grabs Kahlya in his arms and disappears up to the front of the train. [Meanwhile Kurt and Kahlya appear in the front of the train, Yvonne is currently fiddling with the controls and seemingly incapable of getting it to go at this point. There's a crumbling sound and a building roar from the back. But, Mile's trees seem to be taking the bruunt for the moment. Meanwhile the train jerks into motion, as if suddenly relieved of a great burden.] * Miles motions and concentrates, hopefully having the plants grow into the space left by the explosion to keep the structural impact to a minimum. Oof. Get it mooving... (give me a powerusage roll Miles!) * Yvonne fiddles with stuff. "Hmmm, pull a lever and see what it does! Oh hey, you finished decoupling those cars?" * Kahlya checks her person to make sure she's got the rock. Or at least some of it. Please. * Ren 'ports back in, after making a quick stop to snag the body armor he left behind. "Decoupled works." Good! [Miles thinks he can hold it for about a minute, maybe two. The sheer force of water is just ultimately stronger than the trees and he'll have to stay within control range for it to work rather than riding away on the train.] * Miles teleports to the front of the train where the rest are. "We've only got two minutes! We have to get everyone out! " * Yvonne pulls levers and pokes buttons. "I'm trying! I'm trying!" I wonder if I can create a sealant...something! ANYTHING! Freeze the water solid. [The front part of the train is pulling forward. It should be fast enough if you keep at full speed. Although there's still the other train, and the three cars you left behind.] Plug the hole with ice. [Oh, and Miles would know. We're talking 10 meter diameter hole.] I'm gonna go and see about the other tunnel. Don't wait up for me. It's 10 meters! I don't think we can do that... * Kahlya looks up. "I don't know if I have enough energy. I can try! 10 meters should be enough..." * Miles shakes his head and vanishes. Bodies start piling into the moving train as he touches them in the previous cars. * Kahlya runs out there. "Last chance..." * Ren 'ports out. Yet again. * Kahlya takes a deep breath and concentrates her energy into the scythe, swinging it up towards the water. "This better work. Chilling stream!" She tries to spread the frost to cover the area as best she can. * Kurt just stands and looks at the water from a distance, not moving at all. * Yvonne does nothing, 'cause there's nothing she can do. * Miles is moving people, DAMMIT! [Mile's trees are reinforced, but the ice is being broken up by the shear force. Kahlya tries to conserve her energy as best she can, but it'll only add a minute or two at most. * Ren is trying to start the damned train! [Miles has got about half the people off. Now he's got to deal with the lower level. A bit trickier cause people are in their vehicles, slows down.] * Kahlya huffs as she freezes it. "It'll buy us some time at least." * Miles keeps going! No time to waste! * Yvonne staggers and leans against the wall. "Owww. I don't ever wanna be on a mission where the enemies get bombs again." * Kahlya checks on her rock collection and gives it a kiss. * Kahlya heads back in the train. "Let's get those people in and get out of here...I only think I can manage that one more time..." [Kahlya notices right as she's leaving a strange amount of persperiation forming on the underside of her ice, dripping down through the trees. Oddly enough it doesn't seem to hurt her shield at all.] [Doesn't seem natural.] * Kahlya peeks out at that. * Yvonne peers down the tunnel. [The train keeps moving without any trouble. Anyone staying on that train is getting steadily further away.] * Kahlya narrows her eyes instead on the persperation, trying to figure it out. [The persperation keeps up at a rapid pace. Slowly about a bathtub and a half worrth of water forms into puddles on the ground, which rather quickly rise into two seperate humps, each quickly becoming more than a meter tall.] [Miles finishes!] * Kahlya eyes that. "...weird." * Miles appears next to Kahlya. He looks fairly tired, but not out yet. "What are you watching?" * Kurt is now known as SleepDebugger I have all the people aboard! * Kahlya doesn't seem to be paying full attention to Miles. * Miles looks at Kahlya. He snaps his fingers in her face. [The two bulbs become two human figures, one in fatigues in a flak jacket, the other fatigues with a blade of some sort. The first looks like the templar leader, with long flowing hair, a little homely. She looks out of sorts in the EU garb. The second seems comfortable in the uniform and holds a sword, now pointed out at you two....] [The second is also a woman, she's got an attractive if severe look, probably thirties, very fit, fairly thin, chin and features are well defined and angular.] ( Who two? ) (Miles and Kahlya) * Kahlya points out. "Do you know them?" Two of you. Are you both sure the other isn't body swapped? Huh? No? We need to get going, the tunnel's going to collapse! Yeah. Oy. Could you give us a hand here? The tunnel's going to collapse! * Templar looks around. "My... " She then looks to you two and sighs. "I'm sorry I can't stop the collapse. I can protect survivors long enough to have the government forces secure the top." She gestures to the back car. "Is it that and the other train? I see you've pulled one out." She sounds fairly impressed. Everyone from those cars is on the moving train. The other one's having trouble though. I think. Um...do we have all of them? * Yvonne does nothing. She's too far to hear. * Miles nods and points to emphasise his statement. [Meanwhile. If Ren is taking the time to clear survivors he still needs another minute. You've got about a minute on the seal holding as well, unless the both of you stay here to keep up the magic until Kahlya at least passes out.] * Miles takes out a few marbles and throws them up at the ceiling, putting another couple layers of ice on it. "I'm out of more things I can do. The plants won't hold much longer..." * Ren is taking the time. Move body, move body! * Swords woman just stands there, eyeing the two of you. I'm going to make sure the other train's going to get out too! * Miles teleports to the other train, and upon seeing Ren doing that, he starts helping teleport people too. * Kahlya blinks innocently back at the sword woman. * Ren blows the between-car couplings off once all the people are off the car. BLAM! * Templar woman is quickly pacing about, getting a feel for the environment. [Other train gets going, there's about thirty seconds left, unless Kahlya stays behind. Get everyone out ! I'm going to make sure nobody gets left behind! * Kahlya doesn't. Too tired. You're faster than me. I'll drop the cars as you clear them. Uh... Okay? * Miles starts moving people! * Kahlya 's mostly interested in watching the Sword woman. * Templar looks thoughtful and then nods. "Unless you have the ability to withstand the water, I'd ask you to come with me." She then runs over to the cross tunnel. * Swordswoman follows, always staying alert, making quite clear by her looks that if Kahlya tries anything she may end in pieces. * Kahlya blinks at that. She's perfectly innocent, she swears! * Kahlya then follows, keeping a curious eye on the Templar lady. [The train is steadily getting away, although the water would still easily catch it. Miles now is down to the last quarter of the passengers when the trees break through.] [The templar lady just looks peaceful as the water rushes in, a horrendous crushing force quickly filling flowing down both ends filling the entire tunnnel. However, for the moment it's as if you were viewing it from the other side of an impenetrable forcefield, all the water simply flows right past the cross tunnel.] * Kahlya looks out at all the water and scratches her cheek. "That wasn't supposed to happen. I guess things didn't go too well after all, huh?" * Swordswoman snickers a little. Your actions appear to have saved many lives. Little more can be hoped for. * Ren hisses loudly at the sound of the water, then forces himself to relax, forces the fur and tail and ears to fade. ... and all we can do now it pray. ( s/it/is ) * Kahlya pouts. "Yeah, but it coulda went better..." * Miles looks back at the water, his ears popping out like a fox's. He continues doing his teleport thing... * Kahlya looks at the templar lady. "So who are you and what made you come here anyway?" [Suddenly there's a bit of a screeching sound from the back of the train. Miles sees as he telports people off that the water level is rising a bit, although not from way back as he'd think.] * Miles searches for where the water is gushing in as he teleports people. What now... (And give me mind roll Miles, Ren too at +2 cause he realizes it later. Engineering helps.) * Templar speaks in the tone of one who is calm, but devoting a great deal of attention elsewhere. "My name is Ruth. I'm a member of a group called the Templars dedicated to mutual protection of our mystical and otherwise unusual membership. We reached an arrangement with the European Union to help." [More screeching and a bit of slowing, water seems to be causing problems.] * Kahlya looks solidly at the templar. "A little late though, dontcha think?" Dammit... What's going on, we're losing speed! [Miles notices a slight shift in the wind. Apparently caused as the train crosses one of the regularly spaced cross tunnels. Some water seems to be flowing in through this one, although the rate isn't all that fast.] * Ren races to the front, to get a look from there. [Not too much has reached up front yet.] * Templar sighs slightly. "Sometimes the worst of a crisis must occur before leaders are willing to commit to reform." * Miles nods to himself and teleports off as Ren busts off the coupling. He runs to the location where the water is and murmers, a series of plants sprouting forward from his hands and hardening around the opening. They harden instantly, hopefully keeping water from sprouting forth. Apparently... [Another car is left behind, the train moves faster now, and the screeching gets a little better.] * Kahlya 's stopped looking at Ruth and is looking more solidly at the sword lady now, trying to figure her out * Swordswoman just eyes Kahlya. No real reaction otherwise. * Templar suddenly frowns. "A magical barrier? That shouldn't be...." She then frowns deeply. "I've been foolish. Please stand at the edge of the wall." * Templar puts her full body against the edge, swordswoman partially so, still watching Kahlya for now. * Kahlya suddenly flashes her a bright smile at the sword woman then blinks at Ruth, following orders. * Templar then loses frown and slowly reaches her hand into the water, the tips becoming a liquidy stream. Suddenly the flow turns into the tunnel, no longer going farther down the right tunnel. It flows past you, almost close enough to touch, but so long as you don't reach out (which is probably a horrendously stupid idea, given the speed, you aren't wet at all). The water makes another turn and only flows up in the channel on the otherside. [Miles finds the forcefield is holding with much greater ease now, as the water flow subsides. Train gets safely away.] [ tunnel (said channel, that's the wrong word) on the otherside.] (Okay, last comments. ^_^) * Ren lets out the breath he was holding, once it's apparent that they're in the clear. Why the hell... * Kahlya just hmms and leans back, arms behind her head watching curious. * Ren lets himself lie down among the other limp, unconcious bodies. Still hasn't quite recovered from teleporting into SOLID ROCK. (Miles?) (Anything?) Hey, Miles. Wake me up when we get to the top. (I don't think I'm *on* the train. ^^;) (Yvonne will wake you up! She has a special wake-up call!) ( Didn't get back on? ) * Miles keeps chanting as he watches the train pick up speed, smiling. [End!]
