"Holy crap!" Faith exclaimed in a hushed whisper. "Milno's stupid rod fetish actually did something!
Man, I do not like the idea of invisible laser traps. Wish we had Jim...
Steve, is there any way for us to see lasers down here with what we've got?"
>Not unless you have a way of seeing in infrared.Milno grins at the result. Bastards.
"Holy crap! I just saved your stupid ass while you did nothing but grope the new guy! Maybe you should care less about men's rods and more about being useful."
He giggles sarcastically for a bit.
"Steve, does my MkIII have anything that can make those things visible? I think they may be either lasers or a monofilament wire."
Milno contacts Steve and carefully moves another metal pole in front of him to find the exact point or points were the laser (or monofilament wire) is and if it happens to be moving.
Edit: He also checks where are the sources of the laser/wire.
[Dex:5+1]
You turn to face your comrades and are in the middle of yelling victorious taunts when you feel something very hot on your heel. You react without thinking and hurl yourself forward, your rockets propelling you directly into Faith and Lukas. [End:2+1] You manage to dislocate a shoulder on faith's faceplate.
"Useful? I'm the medic. You're a robotic blind man's stick. If any of us had cameyes you wouldn't be anything. Except a terrible shot, I guess."
Milno doesn't respond to your insults, except by hurling himself directly into you. [end:5-1] His shoulder cracks you right in the faceplate and you go tumbling over backwards. Luckily your helmet takes the brunt of the blow and you end up with little more then a sore neck and headache.
Milno grins even more behind the faceplate. Game on.
"I would be pleased to hear your achievements in your last two missions, but I do remember them well. I'd have to commend your performance in the second, when you managed to get mindraped over and over before finally having your mind corrupted by something alien and receiving a leash-and-collar mechanism to restrain it. All medics in the galaxy must be overjoyed by your skills."
He giggles for a while before keeping at it.
"I also can barely wait for the moment when you'll fight enemies instead of cower in fear. And guess what, you do not have cameyes, but if you do want to lead the way, I have no objections."
Lukas didn't like where this was going, afraid that if the team members were going to fight among themselves he would never get out of this alive. "Guys, guys, this is not the time or place. By now it's almost certain that someone knows we are here. Look, Milno, you seem to be the only one who really knows what he is doing here and I bet you are going to save our asses several times before this mission is over. But give Faifth a break. She fixed me while I was panicking like a little girl. Don't forget we have to work together if we want to survive. And I'm sorry, but that includes me. Now, I'll just hang back until you tell me otherwise, okay?"
Milno responds by performing a rocket powered tackle directly into you and faith. [end:5] You're knocked down but otherwise not hurt by milno's sudden desire to cuddle.
((Black. My suit is mainly black.))
I'm about 1/3 of the way down the dam, seems I've not been noticed yet. Status on you two? I'm going to hold off at about 2/3 until I get a signal from you that you're ready to get off the dam. If it takes too long, I'll fry some guys while I wait.
Oh, thats right. Oh well, so much for being incognito.
You stop moving down the damn and bend back and sit on your own legs, waiting.
Thomas heads back to the stairs, and descends carefully down the dam, checking every floor that they aren't being followed or being set up.
"We're descending slowly, we've encountered hostiles. I'm checking to see if we're being followed almost every level."
Action for Empyrean: Keep following him cautiously and pay attention to any traps, stopping if he falls down screaming.
E and Thomas head cautiously down several levels of the dam without incident. At what feels like about half way down they round the bend in the stairs and come to yet another floor. On this floor, however, there is a man. Not a man in a suit, just a man in a coverall, looking at some sort of machine set into the wall.
Sing.
((I'm guessing May sounds like Hatsune Miku without a Japanese accent.))
[Random roll:1]
SQUAAAAAK!
>Neil and Cog
As Milno, faith and Lukas collapse into a big pile you see something, a shadow, move at the end of the hall.
