[Criptfeind]

Cript-R quickly sorts though his new equipment and buckles himself up.

[mcclay]

Mcclay~R pokes the blue and starts bugging him and asking for more info about the mission, how it is like to be a blue and other shit.

[Nirur Torir]

Nirur-R challenges GG-R to a game of Happy Spheres on the PDC, his favorite red-clearance match-3 game.

[malkomk]

Cript-R pulls himself to his feat, grabs his equipment pack from the crate, and buckles the [CENSORED] up. He then goes through his new stuff. He has a shiny new RED laser pistol, 10 fresh RED laser pistol barrels, a RED communication device, and... what's this? There's a GREEN blaster at the bottom. Someone has attached a RED clearance note to it. "Authorized for use by Cript-R, Troubleshooting Team SNICK-XYC, until further notice. The Computer is our friend."

McClay-R leans forward and pokes the BLUE clone between the shoulder blades. "Heya, Skrank! Can you tell us more about your mission?"

Skrank-B swivels his chair to face the clones. "Enough talk there! You already know all you're cleared to." He suddenly notices the GREEN blaster. "Hey, what's that? A GREEN clearance blaster? Would you be so kind, Citizen, to show it to me? Allow me to remind  you that GREEN clearance blasters are not of your security clearance!"

Nirur-R leans over towards GG-R. "Hey, want to play Happy Spheres with me?" GG-R doesn't seem to notice.

Suddenly the flybot AI speaks up. "This is a emergency situation. I just lost contact with Friend Computer. I suspect hacker involvement. Repeat, this is a emergency situation. Friend Computer was providing me with my nav data. I'm now lost. Beginning emergency landing." The flybot slackens its speed down to a walk equivalent and descends gently towards the floor.

Outside, you notice the lights flash off, plunging the area into pitch blackness.

[Fniff]

((Shall I go in, or am I still at the RnD department?))

[malkomk]

((Shall I go in, or am I still at the RnD department?))

((Well, the flybot was actually pretty close to the R&D department. Once everyone climbs out, I'll wander you up the corridor with a flashlight and you can rejoin your team. Completely clueless as to everything that happened before your brainscrub, of course. Also, note that the entire sector appears to have experienced a total power failure, except for devices and bots that don't need power from the central generators (ie, have batterys).))

[Nirur Torir]

"What happened?"

Unless ordered otherwise, I incautiously exit the vehicle and look around, trying to figure out why the lights are off.

[Geen]

Can I join?
EDIT: I was thinking I might be following you when you come in. If this is accepted, I say hi to the others, and examine mah inventory.

[Criptfeind]

"Well friend Skrank-B, it seems some one authorized it for my use.... What was that!" Cript-R lays flat on the ground when the lights turn off and scoots over to a window to peer out into the darkness.

((I am a little bit unfamiliar with the setting, but barrels act as batteries or something right? So I can not use the green gun until I find a barrel?))

((I am a little bit unfamiliar with the setting, but barrels act as batteries or something right? So I can not use the green gun until I find a barrel?))

((Well, the gun currently is fully charged up, with about 10 shots. But when you use those up you'll need a new barrel. Perhaps you can find one in R&D, since blasters are still rather experimental. The update will come once EVERYONE has posted.))

Can I join?
EDIT: I was thinking I might be following you when you come in. If this is accepted, I say hi to the others, and examine mah inventory.

((OK, Geen, you can join, not as a recruit proper but as someone who was in R&D when the power failed, and decided to join the team. Post once the next update is out. Edit: I'll walk you down the corridor with Fniff-R in the next update. Stay tuned!))

[Fniff]

Walk down the corridor.

[Geen]

Okey Dokey!

[mcclay]

Pget out while looking at my equitment.

[ggamer]

Bugger out of the craft, look around for a bit.

INTERIOR OF A RED-CLEARANCE FLYBOT
The flybot touches down with a thump. "Emergency touchdown procedures complete. Ready for disembarkation. I've been unable to contact Friend Computer, even via very long-range emergency comm systems. This requires investigation. Ready for orders."

GG-R, McClay-R and Nirur-R open a hatch and climb out of the flybot, hastily sticking their lasers and comm units into their belts and stuffing RED pistol barrels into their pockets. Cript-R tells Skrank-B that apparently someone authorized the GREEN-clearance blaster for his use, or authorized him to use it, or whatever. Skrank-B peers at the note. "Hmm, could have been anyone." He pauses, glancing at the dark corridor outside, and says, "However, since this is something of a, ah, emergency, I guess I'll let you keep it until further notice. Let's get out." He climbs through the hatch, and Cript-R follows him, holding the blaster ready.

DARK CORRIDOR
Outside the flybot, GG-R, McClay-R, Nirur-R, Cript-R, and Skrank-B stand clustered around in the darkness. The only light is the flybot's headlights, and-- hey, what's that? Two clones with flashlights are coming towards them. The one in the lead is, amazingly enough, Fniff-R, who hails them, yelling, "Hey there! Who are you and what are you doing here?" The clone in the rear is unfamiliar. As the two come up, he introduces himself as Geen-R. Apparently he decided to join Fniff-R when the power went out.

It's still pitch dark, but the newcomers' flashlights provide welcome illumination. You can see that this is just another ordinary RED clearance corridor, shiny, metallic, and painted red. There's some kind of box mounted on the wall nearby.

Skrank-R says to Fniff-R, "Could you lead us to R&D?" I think he's hoping that the clones can find some useful stuff there...
