the pestillent plotting of purveyors both practical and ... alliterative.

So, in lieu of doing an action/let's be heroes log to coincide with this post, I am throwing up a Handy Dandy OOC discussion post we can figure out what went down!

So, long story short: A bunch of pretty cool dudes eh that doesn't afraid of anything decided to go blow up the THE MARKER!

In slightly more detail, they got it on a truck (can your character lift several metric tonnes/use awesome telekinesis/drive like a boss? JOB FOR THEM) strapped with several square feet of explosives (... is your character a demolitions derby waiting to happen? Ditto the job thing!) and tossed it out into space so Hypatia's defensive grid to take care of the rest of it!

Getting to the Marker will have been the important part: so was your character a member of Team HackNSlash, or did they get drafted to derp around the command tent?

The IC sign-up post is technically still open, so if you want your character in on it, just say the word.

Otherwise, any injuries you'd like them to have sustained, things you'd like to have happened, etc, can be hashed out here FOR GREATER JUSTICE! \o/ You can also use this post as a Potential grab bag for any CR-related shenanigans! - did your character trip over a necromorph and land on the Master Chief? Did the Master Chief trip over a necromorph and land on them? (... admittedly, probably slightly more dangerous than the other way around, bro weighs like a half tonne) GO FOR IT.


AND ON THIS NOTE: BITCH IS WASTED. BEACH PARTY HO.


It should be mentioned, though, that although characters are more or less back to physical/mental normality (save any lasting psychological trauma they accrued whilst being crazy), they will retain (in a completely unconscious, dormant sub-level of their brains) the knowledge of how to rebuild a Marker of their very own. BUT THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, is an adventure for another day.

WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS. But Thane will use his biotics to drag the Marker out, along with the help of anyone else with telekinesis/kinesis module awesomeness.

Then Master Chief tripped on Thane

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

That so.

[bastione.livejournal.com]

SUP TELEKINETIC BUDDY he was kind of hoping to keep that ability a secret but this seemed like an emergency :c

[electroniccrane.livejournal.com]

The Major was efficient and professional and seemed to enjoy going hand-to-hand with necromorphs a little too much.

If Mica agrees, she and the Other Major were a fireteam and it was kind of terrifyingly effective.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

Dude, you're doing an op with a bunch of Spartans. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ENJOYING MURDERING SHIT TOO MUCH \o/

[double_discs]

...if it helps her opinion of him any at all whatsoever...so did Rinzler. Enjoy shredding the Necros with his discs, that is. :3

[nobletwo.livejournal.com]

BROOOOO WHY DON'T YOU LET ME LEAVE I WANT TO GO OUT AND HELP.

Okay so, Isaac would have tagged along because he has experience and a kinesis module. That allowed him to drag around a marker once before.

One would have helped pick off shit and flamethrower the fuck out of the Corruption.

[oneliners.livejournal.com]

Oh, One is also proficient in blowing shit up. She could have helped with that tooo.

[double_discs]

Rinzler shredded lots of Necromorphs with his discs. End of Line.
...I mean--

So, yeah, he hack'd 'n' slash'd all the way through.

Since Rinzler can get up and touch the thing and it won't effective his systems (aka mentality) I figure he can help with the explosives. The touch itself would hurt him but he'd simply ignore it. He's more or less proficient with bombs, too, so setting them up properly won't be a problem for him.

Okay, now End of Line.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

John approves of this whole bomb operation.

[alaspooryork]

Emile of course will be right in his element, between shooting things, stabbing them, and just plain old blowing stuff up.

He'll also have at least attempted to talk O'Brien down from his perch in the crazy skies, because dnw potentially friendly sniper firing on them.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

Yeahh, I'm not sure how successful Thom would have been at that point. He's like, TRYING TO TALK HIM DOWN but he's sort of losing his patience (it is so frayed right now he's just like WHY DO ALL YOU MOTHERFUCKERS HAVE TO BE CRAZY..............)

but yeah. damnit, Emile.

[teal-deer.livejournal.com]

OKAY SO BRO STRIDER...

ehs a pretty cool guy eh shreds necromorphs and doesnt afraid of anything

Yeah basically Bro is the fastest (mostly) human on the station and that is probably what he is doing. A note to Spartans who have had to put up with his trolling in the past - when he gets down to business he shuts up and is for the most part quite efficient and professional, if a bit of a show-off.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

I am pretty sure Thom came away from this a fan, negl. AND BY FAN I MEAN 'oh look actual professional respect.'

[knight4darkness.livejournal.com]

can your character lift several metric tonnes/use awesome telekinesis/drive like a boss

WHELP I KNOW WHAT THIS GUY DID.

Ya'all are free to have stared at Nemesis distrustingly/went "OH MY GOD IT'S A CAR ROBOT"/ect.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

I WAS HOPING YOU'D SAY THAT \o/

rofl yeah. I imagine John was ... pretty unperturbed but Thom was like I'M PRETTY SURE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF MY TEAM ARE GOING TO MURDER ME FOR THIS LATER FUCK MAN, ALIENS.......

[savesmosquitos.livejournal.com]

Pleakley doesn't know what happened, and doesn't WANT to know.

He IS interested in handing out some post-trauma-coping-mechanism questionnaires though. And juice boxes. And cereal in dog bowls.

Anyone game?

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

this needs to happen.

[cousinisdeeeead.livejournal.com]

Alejandro's probably around burning shit with his flamethrower and ripping off limbs with his robo-arm, swearing up a storm. He's all for getting rid of the Marker.

[nobletwo.livejournal.com]

PERMISSION FOR ISAAC TO RECOGNIZE ALEJANDRO AS A CEC ENGINEER?

[projectconcerto]

If they actually decided to let Maria tag along, I imagine she ended up staying back at the 'command tent' (did they really set up a tent?) playing 'turn the errant necromorph to disassociate particulates' with her nanomachines. If any of them got past the kick ass line of killers, anyway.

if not, then she stayed at the barracks and moped.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

I think she's probably too valuable a resource to leave out of it entirely? BUT ONCE THOM SAW HER HE'D BE LIKE UH BRO YOU ARE LIKE TWELVE OH SHIT WHAT HAVE I DONE. So he'd keep her at the command tent and yes it's actually a tent and it was totally doubling as their triage station haha oops.

... so yeah he probably just. :| at her a lot and pulled the whole NATURAL BIG BROTHER SORT on her. S'up Maria.

[bastione.livejournal.com]

Twosix got over his crazy and would've helped move the Marker with telekinesis, and apologized for everything, and probably had to help get everyone into wherever Hypatia was storing the Marker.

And gave away the fact that he has plasma cannons in his arms.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

there is nothing wrong with plasma cannons, bro.

[screeee.livejournal.com]

MY ROSTER:

Jack has him some telekinesis and he's pretty prolific in murdering the fuck out of people with a wrench. I reckon he'd help out where he could. HE LIKES HELPING.

And Pyro has A HUGE CACHE OF EXPLOSIVES (that he's been making from urine. gross but oh so effective) as well as a whole lot of homemade flamethrowers. He's been dicking around with designs because he's BORED and he HAS THE SUPPLIES. So if anyone wants a flamethrower, they can totally have one of his.

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE.

[double_discs]

No flamethrower desired, but hello explosives!! Rinz is gonna help set 'em up so I imagine Pyro gave him an an excited run down of the basics or whatever else he would be willing to talk about for his explosives.

?

[reunified.livejournal.com]

HERP DERP BELATED. Altman and Jorge woulda been thurr.

Altman would have volunteered info and then hung back to leave the combat to the professionals.

Jorge would've been mowing shit down in his usual style.

[featheryasshole]

Davesprite stabbed Necromorphs to take his mind off SHODANplot. Fun was had by everyone.

And by fun I mean stabs.

[allshock-notalk.livejournal.com]

Soundwave isn't helping, but if y'all want a Necromorph with sound-based powers and is crazy agile to attack, BAM YOU HAVE ONE

[notsoloyal]

/SOBBING

[mymothersshadow.livejournal.com]

I imagine Cortana took the first opportunity to jump into the Chief's head and get the whole "I do the talky-talky while he does the shooty-shooty" thing that works so well going again.

[givesbackbombs.livejournal.com]

Team Likes Crazy reigns supreme! \o/
