"Hey, Jim here. Lars got brain-raped and needs a strong dose of shock-therapy. Preferably into unconsciousness."

Jim, picking up the subtle hint, requests the above and delegates Mesk to watching over Lars's unconscious body while he proceeds forward into the ARES.

In the event Steve cannot be reached, Jim will instead take Lars's weapons away - by force if necessary.

[Remalle]

(Nobody?  Really?)

[Toaster]

((I got it, if you feel better.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

(Nobody?  Really?)

((Nobody did what?))

[SeriousConcentrate]

(I got it after you explained it but before the link. )

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Is this:

Guard that van.

what you were complaining that no one got?))

[Radio Controlled]

Are you guys riding Miyamoto up the shaft....

Wait that sounds really dirty some how...

((Whatever gutter your mind is currently residing in, get it out of there! it's just unhygienic really.
Oh, and I think they were supposed to move up with me. They'll have to decide what they want their characters to do though.))

((@ remalle: at first i thought you had misspelled 'guard that man' due to being in a hurry or something.  :/

Hmm. Seeing how PW didn't specify that the head pokin' out is a sod, it's probably a civilian. Or an Urban Redecorator here to ruin our day.
Too bad he didn't say how far up it is, might've helped to decide on what to do. Or if he can even see me at all, I have the benefit of cameyes to see in the dark, he (probably) doesn't. But I'll assume he can see me, mostly coming from the waving part (no use in waving if the person can't see you, right?). I could wait it out, but that would make us lose another turn, and then Zako and Pariah can't really post an action outside of waiting.

*faux Hamlet voice* To kill or not to kill, that is the question.
If it's a civvie being forced to look down, killing him would be incredibly heartless. But if it's indeed a UE then we don't want to give it a chance at using its spess magicks. Though a UE probably wouldn't look down elevator shafts himself, but have a mook or 'volunteer' do it for him.
Dilemma!

... Let's play it safe here.))


If the face is that of a sod's, then heatblade that person at the base of the neck and keep climbing, get out 5 levels before top level, then move to where my improvised entrance is and keep going up.

If not, use gravity part of manip increase the gravity where that person is standing until he's pinned to the ground, unable to move but not crushed flat/dead. Keep climbing, check if the mystery person is a UE when we pass him by poking him with the I-beam I'm still carrying.

((It seems Jim's team has reached ARES. I'm really doubting whether we are going too slow, or they are going 'too fast'.

Oh, and Zako or Pariah, if you guys want to have a chance at poking at the possible Ue just say so and I'll edit my action. I left it like this in case you can't post an action for whatever reason.))

I meant open the battlesuit as well. Unless the battlesuit has a ventilation system or filter. Smoking in an enclosed battlesuit can't be very good for the suit. Or your health. For one thing, it'll have that horrible smoke smell. Miyamoto will never let me hear the end of it. Then again, Miyamoto is not in no condition to enter the battlesuit...

Ask Steve: "Hey, I know things are strange with all the time travel stuff, but you said that you had other ships in operations on other worlds, right? Are their missions going any better than ours?"

Keep smoking and watching the cameras and listening for trouble.

@Jim: "You can use one of those smoke grenades I gave you to break line of sight. Or find the UE's camera or hiding place with your cameyes and destroy the source of the problem."
Damn it, I hate being the voice in the radio. thought Flint while taking another puff from his smoke, his attention spread among the various screens in his cockpit. Now I know how Steve feels...

[GreatWyrmGold]

Then again, Miyamoto is not in no condition to enter the battlesuit...

((You don't say...))

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Later; we have to stop the problem first. Then we can prevent it from occurring again."

Addendum: use a smoke grenade after Lars is disabled/disarmed, whichever happens. Then move on.

[Zako]

((I'll play it safe and say I'm waiting for Miyamoto to clear the way first.))

Hold position in some cover. Try to cover both the shaft and the new hole.

((Sleep won't save you from me...))

[Radio Controlled]

Miyamoto will never let me hear the end of it.

((Damn right he won't. Flint's just lucky Miya can't really see if he has been smoking inside Gilgamesh, else Flint wouldn't make it to his retirem...

Are those ashes in the cockpit?))

[Prosperus]

Wait some more for shit to happen

>Administering Medicinal electricity.

Lars jerks straight and then slumps to the ground, where mesk lightly kicks him, just to make sure.

You pop one of the smoke bombs Flint gave you and throw it on the ground as it belches a cloud of thick, graywhite smoke. The cloud envelops the walkway and the entire team, obscuring them from any prying eyes. Assuming those eyes don't have thermal vision.

You wander your way through the smoke until you come to the end of the walkway and find another blast door, the last one, embedded in the inner shell of the contact node.

The battle suit has good enough filtration systems for you to smoke in there. Better then smoking outside it, in a room with a temp around -10 C.

You can't honestly tell what the person looking down on you is; they're silhouetted by the light of the room behind them, just a head shaped shadow. It's actually a pleasant surprise when the start shooting down at you. Makes things much simpler.
[Uncon:4+1+1+1]

The Avatar moves on it's own again, raising one hand toward the head, gripping the air and twisting. The entire elevator shaft screeches and groans as it twists in the same motion, metal and flesh ripping around like an enormous drill bit was inserted in the shaft and then spun. It's extremely effective at killing the head, but it also causes several large pieces of the upper floors to start collapsing in and falling down toward you.

You've got a minor headache from the mental strain.

((I'll play it safe and say I'm waiting for Miyamoto to clear the way first.))

Hold position in some cover. Try to cover both the shaft and the new hole.

You calmly step back out of the elevator shaft, away from the falling debris.

"Mental note, do not ask Miyamoto to do anything requiring subtlety from now on."
