Sundowner twitches and pulls the earpiece of his comm out of his ear. "Why is my comm whining? Chord?"
Chord K mutters to himself in gutter vietnamese, checking the controls. "We're being jammed, people. Someone appears to be dinking with our GPS. Going on manual override."
Whisper checks her equipment.
@emit Whisper's equipment appears to be fine, but anything having to do with navigation or communication is really messed up right now.
Whisper's equipment appears to be fine, but anything having to do with navigation or communication is really messed up right now.
Sundowner says "Right. Look alert. If they're close enough to jam us, they're probably close enough to see us, and hit us with ordnance." He glances out the window... not that that does much good. "Can you beep a warning to Turbo, Chord?"
Whisper frowns. "Can you land the thing?"

You paged Chord K with 'within two turns. Starting now.'.
Chord K fiddles with the stealth systems. Yes, fiddles. Highly techncical terminolgy. He keys the inertial guidance again. "We have a partial vector. This is the last place Fist's jet was seen." He pauses. "Yeah, I can land. Want me to?"
Jump pack. Good idea. Mike gets his and gives it a good examination; he's never used one.
Whisper says "I feel like a duck at an NRA convention here. Hell yeah.""

White Tiger nods. "I will find. Must find."
page Feel free to emit the landing, they called it. :)
You paged Chord K with 'Feel free to emit the landing, they called it. :)'.
Chord K grins, or grits his teeth, whichever describes it best. "This's gonna be bumpy. Strap in." He angles down sharply. "Great flying angels in heaven." A flash of light shoots overhead. The plane jolts, as Chord fights the controls to bring it down without pancaking.
Sundowner nods and finishes strapping on the pack. "Ready when you are, Chord."
:turns her head. "Are we hit?" She looks over Chord shoulder. "Bright Light?"
White Tiger turns her head. "Are we hit?" She looks over Chord shoulder. "Bright Light?"
As the plane slows abruptly, going into VTOL with a vengeance, shaking and vibrating like a bad bull-ride, she drops below the crest of a hill. Another flash of light precedes an explosion as the top of the hill is converted into steam and the jet jolts to the ground. "No. We're not hit. We may need to make repairs though."
Whisper nods and goes to the door.
Sundowner looks at the roof as the second bolt slams into the hill. "High powered energy weapons... let's hope Turbo is too small a target for the gunner to get a good lock." He feels the jet land and is out of his seat almost before it finishes jolting. "Time to move out."
Chord K begins rapidly checking through the systems, verifying each red or amber telltale. He swears tunelessly in gutter vietnamese the whole time. A glance up ... "Better get out there, heroes. We'll have company soon."
:frowns and hisses. "What was?" She looks out the window, a little anxious. She gets up and it looks ready to rumble
White Tiger frowns and hisses. "What was?" She looks out the window, a little anxious. She gets up and it looks ready to rumble

White Tiger nod nods. "Find. I shall." She waits and the door opens, on a snowy landscape. It looks like her form is starting to grow extra fur. She looks ready to rumble. In the distance you hear, moving sounds of vehicles.
Sundowner shucks the jump pack before he goes out the door; a firefight is no time to mess with unfamiliar equipment. He does a dive and roll, and a pair of plasma bursts sizzle against the skin of the jet as he clears the door. "Heads up! Incoming!"
Chord K activates a toggle atop the jet. A "foosh" and white foam covers the surface, rendering the plane itself hard to see against the snowy hill. "I'll cover you with the jet's guns," he says, hoping they still work.
<OOC> Chord K says, "toggle controlling a nozzle atop the jet. Darn lag."

[New-Warriors] The big boss, Night Thrasher says, "Interesting...but I won't get on that now. Someone please page me the scene and the pose order."
[New-Warriors] Sundowner says, "Good question. What *is* the pose order?"
Armored Creep hovers at the smoking ruin of the hillcrest atop his three-headed hydra mount. Damn this armor is fine. He scans the area with sullen black eyes, finally aiming his fist at a spot on the ground near the jet. ZORT! a barely visible bolt of light, or heat, whatever it is, it's coherent and nasty, strikes the ground and a spray of dirty mud splashes up, spraying the camoflaged side of the jet, and possibly splashing Whisper and/or Sundowner. Thrasher is at the far side of the jet.

A half dozen snowmobile-like armored vehicles crest the damaged hill, each piloted by a man in heavy winter gear. the vehicles have a heavy gun on the front, and each man is also equipped with shoulder arms, rifles by the look of them, and a plasma gun as a sidearm. There are pouches near the steering column: grenade bags? One man points to tow others, and they split off to come round the right side of the plane; the others come straight down the hill at the left side.
<OOC> Whisper says, "How deep is this snow?"
Night Thrasher comes out of the wreckage a bit stunned and looks around. o O (Where the hell are we?) Then he spots the clones, armored creep and his teammates. So he mutters into his comm:"Status report guys. And where is Chord?" he raises his arm and fires an escrim stick at the nearest mobile clone attempting to knock him out of his ride. o O (If we can take those mobiles, we can get out of this area in a hurry.)

<OOC> Whisper says, "Early pose; I need to AFK for a bit, but I might be back well before my next pose comes up."
Sundowner gets liberally splashed with snowmelt and mud from the blast the armored guy fired at the plane. So much for camoflage. He bursts out from beside the plane, tracking the three snowmobiles coming down the hill... and puts his skidfield under the front one. Lets see how good these guys are when gravity takes over... with a vengeance.
Whisper mutters. "wait till they pass, so we can fight on the tracks. hit them from behind." She jumps up in the air about fifteen feet, lands in a crouch, and fires a tractor beam at one side of the handlebars, to crash it into the one beside it in formation..
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "my turn?"
<OOC> Sundowner says, "Yup."
Armored Creep spots a man in armor. Now that's more like it. He dives down from the sky on his metallic hydra, and fires a concussion blast at the chest: a focussed packet of energy that will erupt on contact with anything solid like a stick of dynamite going off. "Kill their asses dead!!" he rants at the clone rangers.
page Seth= okay, essentially the guy in the armor can take a lot of damage, White Tiger, knows a quick way to get the armor off, so try and distract her.

Night Thrasher begins moving, taking advantage of the wreckage to appear as a big target. Unfortunately, he doesn't know just how hard the Armored guy's blast can hit, so even though he isn't on the direct path of fire, when the blast hits he ends up flying the other way. Before he gets hit he can be seen talking to his comm:"Don't destroy those mobiles. We need them to get out of here...pick off the clones one at a time OOOFFF!!"
To (White Tiger, Sundowner), Armored Creep pages: He took a hit! Wahoo!
page :Grins. hehe. :)
Long distance to (Sundowner, Armored Creep): White Tiger Grins. hehe. :)
The escrim stick hits the first clone and he goes backward. He does not let go of the snowmobile, though, and he ends up pulling the steering so far around the vehicle flips onto its side. Cursing and swearing, the clone tries to muscle it upright again before Thrasher can close with him.
The skidfield lets gravity take over, all right. The clone riding that snowmobile yells in fright as the vehicle suddenly speeds up, then plows into a snowdrift at more than top speed. The driver is catapulted out of his seat, straight at Whisper, by coincidence.
The tractor beam on the handlebars yanks the steering hard left on the third clone. He snarls, even as the vehicle tips over onto its side, then rolls over him.
Tiger's attack takes the fourth clone by surprise. He doesn't even have time to scream.
The fifth and sixth clones find targets: #5 aims for Thrasher, and #6 aims for Sundowner, as they are the only ones truly visible at the moment. SHREEOOOWWW! As they use their forward guns to blast at them!
:tosses the speechless man to the side! She turns, grabbing the handle hard and barrowing her snowmobile straight at number five. A strangely cool smile reaches her face as the snowmobile barrels down on another one of those clones. "I am sent to bring justice!" She yells out, her white canines flashing with what can almost be called glee. Her plan is to slam into the snowmobile and launch off of it at the guy on it. Yes, that's her plan.

Sundowner gets his force field up, but the blast hits him square, and he is suddenly gone in a vast billow of superheated steam as the snow around him vaporizes under the onslaught of energies. Did he survive...?
page uh, don't die Mike? :(
You paged (Sundowner, Armored Creep) with 'uh, don't die Mike? :('.
Whisper sees someone flying toward her and throws herself back, arching and putting her hand down on the snowmachine track and kicking her feet up and over. Hopefully, far enough not to get hit.
The armored creep sees that escaped kitty from the lab and he remembers that Slim wants her back alive. But that doesn't mean he can't blow her up good first. He shoots another concussion blast, this one at the ground below where kitty is moving. Then he loops the loop on his metal flying lizard monster. Whoah, that's kinda ... sickening. He levels out and circles for another shot. Like shooting heroes in a valley or something.
From afar, to (Armored Creep, White Tiger): Sundowner snickers.

Clone #1 gets his machine upright again, and he gets on--but he doesn't try to start it. Instead, he fires his gun at Thrasher. Take that, hero-man!
Clone #2 whips by Whisper at an amazing speed. He tries to grab her but he misses, because she and he are not going in compatible directions. He ends up headfirst in yet another snowdrift, his feet kicking. The snow starts melting from his language....
Clone #3 sits up from where his snowmobile flattened him, groaning, and staggers to his feet. He doesn't seem really compos mentis at the moment.
Clone #4 splats into the snow where Tiger threw him, and he sits up too--but he is compos mentis. "You... sour puss!" he yells (guess this one didn't get the four-letter language tape.) He pulls out his sidearm and blasts a plasma ball at the white furry female feline.
Clone #5 snickers as his strike against Thrasher throws the man sideways. He reaches into his grenade pouch and primes a grenade... and just then notices Tiger incoming on his position. So he tosses it at her, and ducks behind his machine.
Clone #6 yahoos when he strikes Sundowner, then guns his machine into the steam cloud to check on his kill.

White Tiger grins gleefully, her sharp canines flashing as she leaps into the air, good thing to because at that moment, the blast from Curly the strong man, A.K.A. the armored creep, hits her snowmobile, which actually explodes. Well, sadly, it's only one. Tiger is launched into the air, where she actually flips, bringer her feet around, the clawed toes snatch the grenade, in the air and she flexes, her legs lauching it at the guy who was too cheap to buy language tapes. She continues spinning in the air, her arms now flash, wildly, as she bears sharp claws and descends straigh at Mr. Grenade man! As she does, the disced grenade, is lauched beyond her, from her own momentum at the guy, and she aims straight for the guy who threw it. Her hope is to send th grenade will be launched and she will descend on the other clone, just as the the plasma shots narrowly miss her, well almost, one singes off her shoulder. "Now you know justice!"

(New BB message (10/18) posted to 'Humor (post funny here)' by Rich: And you though YOU had problems...)
Armored Creep is going to be in Whisper's sights. He can't help it, because he's trying to take out that kitty, to which purpose he fires out a wire-mesh net with weighted ends, which spin down at her with rocket-assist on the ends of the weights. He's not smart enough to think of that one. Maybe Sissily told him how to do it. In any case, his Hydra takes a couple hits, and (because he isn't keeping much in the way of coherent direction to the Hydra, and the AI is minimal and rebellious) the Hydra spins out from under him. He flips over in the air, aiming for the ground with both feet. The Hydra vanishes in a sparkling special effect and returns to the armor that spawned it as Curly lands in a crouch. "You took out my ride," he snarls through gritted teeth.
Clone #1 has a new target: Chord. Since NT isn't moving anymore (and is therefore boring) he'll take his next potshot at the guy swearing in the sing-song. BRREEOOWWW!
Clone #2 is trying hard to rescue himself from the snowdrift. He feels Whisper take his rifle off him, but he can't do anything about it. (mufflemuttercussgrumblegrunt)
Clone #3 gets to his snowmobile, miraculously upright after all the flipping it did, and leans on it. He peers around himself at the fight, mutters, "Shit," and gets a grenade out of the pouch. Priming it, he throws it at Whisper. "Here, girly... catch!"
Clone #4 sees the grenade coming at him and yelps, and tries to handball-swat it away. Too late... time's up. KABOOM! Clone goo all over.
Clone #5 sees White Tiger coming in on his position, so he pulls his plasma sidearm and shoots at her, point-blank. KA-POW!
Clone #6... is nowhere to be seen. Or heard. But that steam cloud is starting to go away at last.
Chord is wearing armor under that suit, but he's aware of the clones and he dives left while #1 shoots right. He fires a snapshot at the clone using the police laser rifle. Zotslice!
@emit %r%rLet's get this absoltely straight, if this were a normal human, they'd probably be hurt, and considering the fact, this guy is firinging point-blank at her, there really is little margin for error. But considering the fact, she is, well, enhanced, it's really no suprise, when her claws actually grab the gun and her body twists in mid air. He shot does happen, and it narrowly hits her left side, but she actually vaults over Mr. I-like-to-shoot-flying-kitties, yanking his arm and the gun with it, in a painful, well 180 degree jerk, that is if he hangs onto the gun, and lets just face this, nobody, not even a close, can handle that kind of pressure to the arm. If he remains holding hte gun, that's what she'll do, finishing him off with a kick to the back. If not, she'll still kick him in the back. "Justice is here." She says gleefully, her incisers, still flashing.

The steam cloud settles, leaving frost over one man standing, and one man... not. The man standing touches the rim of his hat and peers out at the happenings from eyes rimmed with frosted lashes, over a scarf that's only barely red under the frost on it. He goes to the snowmobile, idling nearby, and looks it over. Ah... grenades. How useful. He pulls a couple out of the pouch and looks for targets.
Whisper boosts straight up into the air! She reaches into the grenade pouch, pulls her hand back out with a handful of pins, slings the whole pouch once over her head and releases it winding straight toward Armor! As the grenade explodes under her, she gets a large boost of vertical speed, twisting in a slow corkscrew as her vision greys out from acceleration. The shock from the rest of the fight doesn't help matters, either. <"gnnnnh..">
Armored Creep can also leap, and he does. It's too bad the trajectory of the sack of grenades intersects the trajectory of his leap - No, do not jump TOWARDS the bag of exploding things - but perhaps he meant to do that? Because the armor flows around his face, providing a protective barrier over his eyes and face and neck, and the CRACKPLOWBAM! of exploding grenades sprays shrapnel away from him and towards ... somewhere. He didn't exactly choose the direction, and he's knocked through teh sky to crash to the ground, but then impossibly, he backflips in a graceful fashion belied by his bulk, and he's standing again.
<OOC> Whisper says, "hello?"
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "Mike's turn."
Clone #1 ducks the shot from Chord. "Hey! You hero types ain't supposed to use guns!" He scrabbles around, looking for cover and trying to think... what to do? Hell, shoot at the bugger and hope it hits. SHEEEOW! SHEEOWW! SHRREEOWW! (betcha didn't know these plasma rifles had an auto, did you?)
Clone #2 gets himself out of the snow and turns around to... get a faceful of shrapnel. "Uhhhngg...." Flop. Goo.
Clone #3 figures the first grenade did so well, he'll throw another. He gets one out of the pouch and tosses it to land just about where Whisper will....
Clone #4 is a puddle. 'Nuff said.
Clone #5 lets go of the gun, because he knows a lost cause when he feels it. He still gets kicked in the back--that's what fighting a faster opponent will do for you. "Damn," he says, because he doesn't have the gun, his rifle, or a grenade. So he dives for the snowmobile--it's his only hope.
There is no sign of Clone #6. Unless he stole Sundowner's hat, and is the guy currently revving that snowmobile....
Chord does a standard tuck, roll, fire, tuck, roll, fire, snapshotting four times at Clone 1. Since the police lasers provide a quarter-second beam with each shot, he follows pocedure and drags the beam slightly to achieve a slicing effect on the target.
Whisper soars up into the air, given another boost by the satchel bomb. She grimaces, feeling her arms stop responding and her eyes going blank, and soars higher into the air on inertia alone, slowly arcing through the sky half a mile up.
Sundowner sits down on his commandeered snowmobile and checks out the controls. Not too tough.... He looks up and sees the guy lobbing grenades, and nods to himself. The gun on the 'bile is tracked, locked, and fired. SHEEOOWOW!
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "Tiger?"
ooc yeah soorry
<OOC> White Tiger says, "yeah soorry"
:doesn't like guns. She sniffs it, not reaisig these holding a pretty powerful gun. She growls at the guy reaching for grenages and she throws the gun, straight at the one labeled number four and the gun spins through the air, straight at the head of it's darget. Sheesh, that's gotta hurt on the whole noggin.

<OOC> Armored Creep says, "yeah, working on the pose"
Armored Creep crashes into the side of the hill. It takes him a second to realize where he is, as he sees the white of the tundra and the snow covered hills, and the off-white sky, and the white and green of the spinning figure in the sky. Then he grins. Well, she'll be a smear when she hits the ground. The armor retracts around his face allowing him freedom to speak again, as if he would have something worth saying. He gets up and takes aim with a second net - the first one disappears in a sparkle of cheap special effects (this comic would be drawn by Don Heck) and returns to the armor - and this time he tells the rockets to include a steering mechanism, so he can try to make them maneuver to enwrap the Kitty for a special present to Slim.
Whisper slows in the air, and starts falling. She blinks helplessly, trying to get her fingers to move, and starts dropping like a rock thrown off a bridge.
There are three clones left standing. Clone #1 shrieks as one of Chord's strikes hits, shearing off his arm and spraying clone goo all over the rucked snow. Don't count him out, though; now he's mad. With a howl of unholy rage, he claws a grenade out of a pocket and slings it at Chord... and then another, and another. What does he care if he's chipping his teeth on the pins? He knows he isn't going to live long enough to regret it, anyway.
Clone #3 is disappointed. Whisper is far too high and will take far too long to land. His last grenade goes BOOM! in a useless shower of fragments. Annoyed, he looks around for another target... hey. That black guy with the gun. He grabs another grenade and tosses it--crossfire on Chord!
Clone #5 gets his hands on his grenade pouch and tears it open, spilling explosives into his lap. "Heh. Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..." as he primes a handful and lobs them one after the other in her direction. Let's see her dodge *three* grenades.
Clone #4, the one Tiger threw the gun at, is already seeping into goo. Too bad she didn't pick a live one....
Chord is the target of ... too many grenades. One chance, and he knows it: shoot the grenade, so its blast will knock out the other ones. He snaps off the shot and then dives to the side, hands wrapped to protect his head as he lands face-down in the snow. Let us hope this body armor really works like it does in the training sessions.
<OOC> Sundowner pokes Tiger, 'cause it's her turn.
:as a matter of fact, is no longer in normal fight mode. Her body is just resonding. She Grabs the Guy in front of her and takes his pack of stuff. Most appropriatly, his greanades. She grabs them and flings them all, straight at number 5, who had the chutzpah to call her kitty, yet, with one, slick little move, she pulls the pin on one of them and only one as she tosses the whole bag at him. At the same time, she ducks the grenage and bats it hard with her forepaw. Whack! She hopes to send it flying other direction as she bounds to defend Chord.

Sundowner peers. Hmm. Missed with his first grenade. He pulls another out of the pouch on the snowmobile and launches it at #3 again. Let's see if the clone can get lucky twice.
Whisper twitches.. c'mon.. move.. Agonizingly slow and numb, her finger closes on the throttle for her pack, and she starts curving in slowly, trying to keep from making a Whisper-shaped hole in the ground. She takes a few deep breaths, trying to get feeling back. . o O (Ouch!)
From his vantage halfway up the hillside, Curly directs the net to move in, rockets ripping it through the air towards that annoying cat-girl. He steers it like a radio-controlled car.
Clone #1 wasn't even trying to duck. When Chord shoots the grenade, the clone gets a faceful of the explosion... or perhaps that's a face-less. The clone ends up that way, anyway, so the point is probably moot.
Clone #3 yelps and dives away from the grenade White Tiger swatted at him... but there's a grenade coming on his position from Sundowner, and he doesn't avoid that. KABLAMM! Clone bits all over the landscape.
Clone #5 ends up with even more grenades in his lap, thanks to White Tiger. That's all right... "Here, kitty. Have a popover." Okay, so the quote is all wrong. He throws a handful of grenades her way--some primed, some not--and then the one she threw at him explodes in his lap. Ow... that doesn't hurt for long.
Chord is showered by flying rubble and possibly shrapnel, but he's mostly uninjured. Bruised, and a bit scorched from that near shot earlier, so when he peers up and sees that nobody is shooting at him at the moment, he half-scutles and half-runs over to Thrasher, hefting him into a fireman's carry and hauling him inside the plane.

<OOC> Sundowner says, "So pose; we can assume that WT is gallumphing through the snow in pursuit of Chord, who just went into the plane, anyway."
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "That or she's going to be glumphing away from that robot net."
Whisper banks in toward Curly's back, picking up some speed, and unfolds in a flying side kick into the side of his neck!
<OOC> Sundowner says, "Oooo... John Woo stunt, with rocket assist. :)"
Now, Curly has been taking that Megavitamin for a good six months now and bears a resemblance to Juggernaut but uglier. He is also wearing a suit of armor which is of a technological sophistication that makes it appear to be pure magic. The combination of these two traits keeps his neck from being broken, and even keeps him from being knocked out, but he DOES go half-sliding, half-spinning, and head-over tumbling down the hill, losing control of his jet controlled net just as it wsa about to close on White Tiger.
ooc :grrrrs hiiisssss!
<OOC> White Tiger grrrrs hiiisssss!
Sundowner tilts his head. "Nice move, Whisp," he comments, though the comm is out and she can't possibly hear him. He watches Curly tumble down the hill and decides that his help isn't needed there.
<OOC> Sundowner mms at WT?
:is moving through the air, and you can call it Air Ballet. She growls and graps hold of him. Chord that is and pulls, throwing his with all her might out of the way. Her own body seems to spring, at the last second as well, going for that fration of a second leap, and aiming to jump clear of the flung grenades. Let's seee if she can do it?

<OOC> Armored Creep says, "OK... Are you lagging, Tiger?"
The last clone (and he only has one arm, at that) flung a whole whack of grenades at WT. Some didn't have their pins pulled, but that doesn't matter, since the rest did--and that sets off all of them. WT is flying over a cushion of death--and shrapnel goes up, as well as out. As for the clone... he takes a shrapnel chunk to the throat and that's all she wrote for him.
Chord was thrown clear, and proceeds to rescue Thrasher (as indicated earlier0.
<OOC> Sundowner looks at the time. "I should go to bed. --All the clones are down, Curly is the only one who could give trouble; should we pause this here and take it up again tomorrow?"
<OOC> Whisper sighs. When tomorrow?
Armored Creep comes to a half-kneeling position, whirling to orient himself on whoever attacked him. His head is ringing a little - the force of that slam earlier was dissipated and damped by the armor, but his brain is still subject to inertia and the jolt was rather hard when he hit the hillside, and then again when he got kicked in the neck, and he's definitely going to have a migraine and a half very soon.
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "After 3pm pacific?"
<OOC> Whisper dunno if i'll be available that early.
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "That's as early as I dare do anything - I've got to get this code working properly at work."
<OOC> Sundowner dunnos if he can manage that early, either. "5 PST is better for me."
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "That's a good time for me."
Whisper ows, flopping into the snow, and nurses her ankle, then slowly rises from the snow, straightening and standing straight looking out over the battle. She drops her pack in the snow behind her, and boosts up into the air in a jump, dropping toward Curly. She touches down behind him in a deep crouch, facing away from him, then, as he twists to look at her, looks between her legs, puts her hands on the ground, and jumps her feet up in a fast double-foot mule kick at his jaw. She's been working out more than usual and it shows.
<OOC> Whisper can attempt that..
The armor flows around his face between the time it takes her feet to leave the ground and contact the target chin. It has become rigid, hard as titanium steel a half inch thick, and the kick shocks into his body. But he's been working out as well, obviously, and he was mostly braced. The sensation of the kick is like kicking an oak tree. This one, however, bends back a little tiny bit. And slides back in the snow again, losing his footing and going over backwards down another 15 feet of snow.
<OOC> Armored Creep says, "Wanna pick it up tomorrow between 5 and 5.5 pacific?"
