You have just entered room "Cascade City
Game 6."
Dat Dude Gil has entered the room.
Dat Dude Gil: cheese.
LordHighRikonian: hey
InfinHorizon has entered the room.
LordHighRikonian: hey
Dat Dude Gil: woot. heyo :)
LordHighRikonian: you both recall where we were at last week, right?
InfinHorizon: Hello
Dat Dude Gil: Umm, yeah, in some warehouse. I was hiding behind some boxes while erik was bullshitting a bunch of hippies.
LordHighRikonian: yep
Dat Dude Gil: cool. we give proty a bit to show?
LordHighRikonian: hmm
LordHighRikonian: hmm. on the one hand, I'd say let's start
LordHighRikonian: but on the other hand, it'll be kind of tricky to write Proty into the scene
Dat Dude Gil: but on the one foot, what if he just don't show?
LordHighRikonian: yeah
LordHighRikonian: OK, we start now. If Proty shows up, I'll fake it somehow
Dat Dude Gil: have him come crashing thourhg a window :)
LordHighRikonian: OK, the strike is at night. Since the Transdim facility is on an offshore island, a small motorboat will take you there.
LordHighRikonian: You're all at the shore. The boat is bobbing in the water
LordHighRikonian: The big guy has a few scuba masks, flippers and oxygen tanks
Dat Dude Gil: hrmm.
LordHighRikonian: plus a few small cylindrical devices with LED timers
InfinHorizon: "Alright, I take it we all know what to do?"
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "Blow shit up"
LordHighRikonian: a blond surfer type comes limping up to the scene
LordHighRikonian: he's wearing blue swim trunks and a matching blue towel wrapped around his neck
LordHighRikonian: And he has a matching blue cast on his left foot
InfinHorizon: *Eyes surfer suspiscously*
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "Yo, Surf's Up, about time you showed"
LordHighRikonian: Surf's Up: "OK. I started the storm already. As soon as you're out, I'll pump it up a notch. That should give you some cover"
InfinHorizon: "You started a storm? How?"
Dat Dude Gil: *btw I have my Bo with me*
LordHighRikonian: the bug guy laughs
LordHighRikonian: "Erik, man, you are so funny sometimes."
LordHighRikonian: "Better be careful though, these warlock types can get kinda sensitive"
InfinHorizon: "I've always been a big believer in using humor in dangerous sitches. Let's get going."
Dat Dude Gil: "agreed. let us make haste" *makes way to the boat*
InfinHorizon: *Gets on Boat*
LordHighRikonian: The Big Guy gets in the driver's seat
LordHighRikonian: the warlock guy sits down in a beach chair and starts making hand movements
LordHighRikonian: he's still on the beach, btw
LordHighRikonian: the big guy starts up the boat and heads on out
Dat Dude Gil: I see. He's literally making a storm.
LordHighRikonian: as the boat leaves, a heavy rain begins to pour down and the waves are picking up
InfinHorizon: *Takes stock of what's on the boat*
LordHighRikonian: the scuba gear, those charges (6 of them), a couple automatic handguns (they're half under a cushion so you can't see which type)
LordHighRikonian: a few metal oars, and a couple small tackleboxes
InfinHorizon: "Hey, these handguns yours?" *To the big guy*
LordHighRikonian: "Yeah. But if you guys need one you can borrow it"
InfinHorizon: *Takes a closer look at one of the handguns*
LordHighRikonian: It's a .45
LordHighRikonian: Gneeral Officers Pistol
LordHighRikonian: er, Genral Officers Pistol. COlt 45
InfinHorizon: *Checking the condition of the weapon, and the type of ammo*
LordHighRikonian: it's scratched up and the finish looks like hell, but it seems to work
LordHighRikonian: 7 round magazine
InfinHorizon: "I'll just be using one if you don't mind. How soon will we be there?"
Dat Dude Gil: *sits back and waits*
LordHighRikonian: "Be a few minutes. Hey old dude, you want a gun too?"
Dat Dude Gil: *smiles* no thank you. I don't need one.
LordHighRikonian: "Heh, whatever old dude"
LordHighRikonian: you can see lights in the distance
LordHighRikonian: "That's the island coming up"
InfinHorizon: "Here it is. Let's get ready."
LordHighRikonian: the lights get closer.
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "OK, we're gonna do a standard Surf's Up landing. You ready SpaceCase?"
Dat Dude Gil: *chmes in* Ive never done one of these "surf's Up" landings.. how do we go about them?
InfinHorizon: "Yeah. I think so."
LordHighRikonian: He slows the boat and kills the engine. "Put the scuba gear on if you want."
LordHighRikonian: "It makes it easier"
LordHighRikonian: the Big GUy is putting the tank and flipeprs on
LordHighRikonian: the mask is currently dangling from the strap around his neck
Dat Dude Gil: *picks up the gear, looks at it for a moment, shakes head and then sets it back daown*
InfinHorizon: *Slowly does the same*
LordHighRikonian: The big guy fits the mask over his face
LordHighRikonian: *muffled* "You guys sure you don't want to use the gear?"
InfinHorizon: *Putting gear on*
Dat Dude Gil: "I'd wind up hurting myself, probably."
InfinHorizon: "Sorry, still a bit shaky from last time"
LordHighRikonian: the biug guy grabs the charges and guns and puts them in a large plastic bag, which he tehn seals
LordHighRikonian: this he straps to his belt
InfinHorizon: *Follows the same method as the big guy*
Dat Dude Gil: *begins slowing his breathing, preparing for a big swim*
LordHighRikonian: Then he presses a button on the dash. "Signal sent" and moves to the back of the boat
LordHighRikonian: the water begins to calm eerily
LordHighRikonian: the current is gradually pulling the boat away from the island
LordHighRikonian: then the boat stops moving backward and begins to move forward flightly
Dat Dude Gil: *follows the big guy to the back* "om mani padme hum."
LordHighRikonian: BIg guy sits on the edge of the boat and leans back slightly
LordHighRikonian: He's grinning like and idiot. "I love this part"
InfinHorizon: Leans on the back of boat
Dat Dude Gil: "Om Gam Ganapataye Namah" *prepares to dive in*
LordHighRikonian: "Grab on to the handles on teh side!"
LordHighRikonian: A large wave starts pushing the boat
Dat Dude Gil: *grabs*
InfinHorizon: *Grabs*
LordHighRikonian: not a tidal wave, but strong enough to make the boat rock
LordHighRikonian: As this wave subsides, anotehr strong wave pushes it
LordHighRikonian: the waves are getting progressively stronger
Dat Dude Gil: "Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha" *is looking a little worried*
LordHighRikonian: the shore of the island is about 100 yards out when a huge wave comes up. "THis is it!"
LordHighRikonian: the boat is lifted
InfinHorizon: *Here we go. Now would be a bad time for a flash back*

---

LordHighRikonian: blackout time again. This one is brief. You're in Century Station, by the docks. Your Century Station. SOme weird alien guys in body armor are attacking you. A ship rises fromt eh water and blasts you with some kind of phaser ray type deal.
InfinHorizon: I see
InfinHorizon: Let me see if I get this straight. I was killed, and am now reborn, but because I'm in another dimension, I'm a little mixed up?
LordHighRikonian: sorta
InfinHorizon: Could you make it a little more clear?

---

LordHighRikonian: The big guy falls out of the boat
LordHighRikonian: Suddenly, Erik is knocked out of the boat
Dat Dude Gil: *jumps in, still holding on to his Bo*
LordHighRikonian: You are all knocked around by the wave, but not enough to do serious damage. Enough to disorient though
LordHighRikonian: The next thing you know, you're floating in calm water
Dat Dude Gil: *get his bearings, tries to locate Erik and the Big guy*
LordHighRikonian: you're all fairly close to each other.
LordHighRikonian: the boat is capsized upside down a bit closer to shore
LordHighRikonian: the water is not very deep. You can touch the bottom with your toes
LordHighRikonian: the island is about 20 yards inland
InfinHorizon: *To the others* "Everyone alright?"
Dat Dude Gil: *cheks himself out* "I'm okay, a bit waterlogged, but good. head inland now?"
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "That was frickin' awesome! I love that!"
LordHighRikonian: the big guy starts swimming toward shore
Dat Dude Gil: *follows*
InfinHorizon: "We can tell stories to the others when we get back" *Moves inland*
Dat Dude Gil: I've really gortta get a shoulder strap for this thing.. (the bo)
LordHighRikonian: OK, as you near the shore, you see what looks like a beach hotel to your right and a fairly large blocky building to your left
InfinHorizon: TB: Time to find out what's realy going on
LordHighRikonian: You see three guys in white suits carrying submachineguns walking between them (to the hotel looking building)
LordHighRikonian: hold on
LordHighRikonian: guess who jsut logged in
LordHighRikonian: lemme think for a bit
Dat Dude Gil: Yeah I know, I'm already yelling at him :)
InfinHorizon: TB: Points for style and colour scheme. But artillery, I'm not impressed.
LordHighRikonian: the water starts to move around you
Dat Dude Gil: ....huh?
LordHighRikonian: damn. OK never mind that last part. He can't play after all
LordHighRikonian: I was gonna have a tidal wave drop him in the scene
LordHighRikonian: ok, anyway, the three guys have that combination of alertness and boredom that just screams "routine guard duty"
Dat Dude Gil: *swims over to the big guy* How far apart are the patrols?
LordHighRikonian: "Oh, about five minutes I think"
Dat Dude Gil: "...you think?"
InfinHorizon: Think we can get past them without anyone sending an alert?"
LordHighRikonian: "Possibly"
Dat Dude Gil: *looks annoyed* ".. you didn't time the patrols?*
LordHighRikonian: You hear a boat in the distance. Big Guy: "Their sensors jsut picked up our boat. That should distract them for a bit. If we're lucky, they'll jsut assume soem poor sap got cauhgt in the storm and drowned"
LordHighRikonian: "Hey, I timed 'em, but I can't say fer sure they don't switch that stuff around. I know I would if i was them"
InfinHorizon: "Let's go. Stay quite, and don't shoot unless you have to."
InfinHorizon: *Moves up the beach to the hotel stealthly*
Dat Dude Gil: "let's hope they didn't then, for our sake." *swims nland*
LordHighRikonian: OK, as you wade onto shore, they have just walked out of visible range
Dat Dude Gil: *whispers to the big guy* "what's our main target?"
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "See that thing there in the distance?" He points between the blocky building and the hotel to a large tarp 9about as big as a small house
LordHighRikonian: "That's it"
Dat Dude Gil: *nods* "okay"
LordHighRikonian: the tarp is lit by several floodlights. There are several of the white suited guys walking around it. They also have submachineguns.
LordHighRikonian: hey, brb
InfinHorizon: *Moves to the hotel* "We'll use this building as cover and then dash to the tarp"
Dat Dude Gil: k
LordHighRikonian: bak
Dat Dude Gil: *watches the gaurds, trying to make out regualr patrols*
LordHighRikonian: OK, there's no way you'll be able to avoid the guards for the final approach
LordHighRikonian: there are about 7 of them that you can see
LordHighRikonian: and they see the whole of the tarped area pretty much constantly
InfinHorizon: "Any ideas of how to get past those guys?"
Dat Dude Gil: *to the big guy* "do you think we can take out any of them without being conspicous?"
Dat Dude Gil: *has given up all hope of avoiding conflict*
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "Doubtful. Luckily I brought a few more charges than we'll need"
Dat Dude Gil: "how about a distraction?"
LordHighRikonian: Ok, as you all reach the hotel, you hear footsteps coming from along the other side
LordHighRikonian: coming closer
LordHighRikonian: You also hear two people talking
Dat Dude Gil: *whisper*"run?"
InfinHorizon has left the room.
LordHighRikonian: hold up
Dat Dude Gil: heh.
LordHighRikonian: ok
Dat Dude Gil: what about infin?
InfinHorizon has entered the room.
InfinHorizon: Sorry about that
LordHighRikonian: OK. Anyway, you are able to get to the side of the hotel, so you're not in line of sight
LordHighRikonian: you hear the two guys talking
LordHighRikonian: "...'m telling you, with the eco nuts and that thing with Davidson, I've got a bad feeling about this project"
Dat Dude Gil: TB:...DAVIDSON?
LordHighRikonian: Guy #2: "Yeah, tell me about it. The frickin apparatus gives me the creeps too."
Dat Dude Gil: *is listening a lot more closely now*
InfinHorizon: *Whispers to the others* "Anyone remember that scene from star wars?"
LordHighRikonian: G1: "it should. If you step in it when it's running, well, you saw what it did to that eco jerk?"
Dat Dude Gil: *shakes head no*
LordHighRikonian: G2: "Yeah, just a little translucent goo covering a brittle skelton. Not that he didn't deserve it, of course. Come on, let's get back to the lab. We need to run the Gamma simulation again"
Dat Dude Gil: "jump 'em?"
InfinHorizon: *Nod his head in the affirmative*
LordHighRikonian: OK, since it's a surprise attack, I'm giving the three of you the first initiaive
LordHighRikonian: Ham, you go first
LordHighRikonian: or do you guys want to do a tandem move?
Dat Dude Gil: That might work better.
LordHighRikonian: OK. then you both need to specify the nature of your action
InfinHorizon: Knock out punch to the back of the head
LordHighRikonian: DDG?
Dat Dude Gil: Sounds good to me. other guy.
LordHighRikonian: OK, Hamoi successfully knocks his quarry out
Dat Dude Gil: alright!
LordHighRikonian: Erik, however, executes a fairly awkward attack and hits his target (8 damage) but fails to knock him out
LordHighRikonian: "Ouch? What the?" The guy turns around, holding the back of his head and squinting. He sees the three of you. "Oh Shit! SECUR---" he falls as a neral vibration strike flies from Erik's hand
Dat Dude Gil: IS he out, or just down?
LordHighRikonian: he's down
LordHighRikonian: he's looking at you guys, eyes bugged out
LordHighRikonian: The big guy moves to drag the Ko'd guy along the side of the building
LordHighRikonian: big guy: "OK, now what?"
Dat Dude Gil: "anybody got any rope?
Dat Dude Gil: "
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "Nope, but I got something better" he says with a grin as he reaches to his boot
InfinHorizon: *Grips his hand* "Security guards. What they lack in brains they make up for in the bone content of their skulls. BG, you and I are going to get into their uniforms"
LordHighRikonian: actually, the white suits these giuys are wearing are labcoats
InfinHorizon: *Puts a labcoat on top his clothing*
LordHighRikonian: "Now what about these two?" BG asks, as he points toward teh dagger strapped to his boot
Dat Dude Gil: "We're not here to hurt PEOPLE. let's tie them up"
LordHighRikonian: "Well 'Fearless Leader', what's your call?"
LordHighRikonian: "I love this part"
InfinHorizon: "Put them in a dumpster. We'll pick them up later. Just in case the Trans-dim-bulbs have a back up facility we don't know about yet"
LordHighRikonian: "Ok, stand back so you don't get bloo-- huh?!"
LordHighRikonian: "Damn Erik, you getting soft in your old age?"
LordHighRikonian: there's no dumpster, but you do see a small supply shed off the side of the lab
InfinHorizon: "Hardly, just thinking about the future. I wan't contacts, and people with the info so we can make sure these guys don't start something like this again. Look, just use that shed, take Ham with you and make it fast."
LordHighRikonian: "Sheesh, OK. But promise me I get to gut one of these guys tonight"
Dat Dude Gil: "sounds good to me" *grabs the guy who's bugging out and starts dragging him to the shed*
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy drags the other guy
InfinHorizon: "Sure thing. But I'll tell you who"
LordHighRikonian: the shed is small. It has various lengths of insulated tubing and stuff in it
LordHighRikonian: the two scientists fit in it, but jsut barely
LordHighRikonian: should be hard for them to escape :)
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at big guy* "done, let's go back"
LordHighRikonian: OK, now are you both wearing the labcoats?
Dat Dude Gil: *trots back to eriks position*
Dat Dude Gil: Big guy and Erik are, if I remember correctly
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy's not.
Dat Dude Gil: Okay then I am. works for me
LordHighRikonian: ok
LordHighRikonian: YOu see a faint glow under the tarp
InfinHorizon: *To Big Guy* "You stay here, Ham and I'll plant the charges. If anything goes wrong, we holler and you come in and save us, guns blazing. Got it."
InfinHorizon: ?
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy: "Sure, but you better hurry, they're starting it up"
LordHighRikonian: Big Guy hands each of you three charges
Dat Dude Gil: *to erik* "let's run up, act like we're late. usually wortks on gaurds :)"
LordHighRikonian: they're fairly small. About 5" diameter
LordHighRikonian: they fit int he labcoats, but are bulgy
Dat Dude Gil: *pockets em*
LordHighRikonian: OK, as you run toward the guards, one of them steps in front of you. "HALT!"
Dat Dude Gil: *looks ofrlornley at his bo and hands it to big guy* "dbring it to me if their's trouble*
Dat Dude Gil: *halts* Can't stop. late!
LordHighRikonian: "Hey, why's your hair wet?"
Dat Dude Gil: "ummmmm... okay, look. we went for a swim, that's why we were late."
InfinHorizon: *Right beside Gil* "You'll have to excuse him. He keeps thinking there's cameras taping this for history documents."
LordHighRikonian: Guard: "OK. But the lab's that way" he points past you, toward the blocky building
LordHighRikonian: "You're gonna wanna clear away from the apparatus, I think"
Dat Dude Gil: "no, no! we're sceduled to be at the apparatus!"
LordHighRikonian: Guard: "Damn, who'd you piss off?"
LordHighRikonian: "Well, whatever. Long as I don't have to go to the funeral"
Dat Dude Gil: "dunno know, we're new." *shrugs*
LordHighRikonian: the guards all walk off toward the lab
LordHighRikonian: as they leave, you see the big guy jog up to you both
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at erik* I think we should do this QUICKLY.
LordHighRikonian: "Guys! Something I almost forgot!"
Dat Dude Gil: *loks at big guy* "what?"
LordHighRikonian: He reaches into his pocket. "You'll need this"
InfinHorizon: *Looks, keeps a close eye on him*
LordHighRikonian: He pulls out his gun
LordHighRikonian: "You always did prefer the .45 caliber, right?"
InfinHorizon: "Yep" *Takes it*
LordHighRikonian: as you reach for it, the big guy jumps back
LordHighRikonian: he now holds thed gun in a two handed grip. "That
LordHighRikonian: 's s good"
LordHighRikonian: "I'd hate to kill you with substandard ammo"
LordHighRikonian: OK, Ham, you have init
Dat Dude Gil: Shit.
Dat Dude Gil: I rush in low, with a gut punch, hopefully he won't expect it.
LordHighRikonian: OK, you connect, and knock him to the ground
LordHighRikonian: The gun goes off
LordHighRikonian: It hits Erik in the leg
LordHighRikonian: 17 damage
LordHighRikonian: Erik, what do you do?
InfinHorizon: "Ouch!"
InfinHorizon: *Tries to heal the wound*
LordHighRikonian: oh yeah, DDG, you did 20 damage
InfinHorizon: "OK, don't worry. We got to find out what this is really all about" *Limps to tarp*
LordHighRikonian: the big guy laughs. "It doesn't matter. The charges are fakes, anyway"
LordHighRikonian: the tarp falls away
LordHighRikonian: it's disintegrating as it falls
LordHighRikonian: you see a device that looks like a giant cyber stoenhenge
Dat Dude Gil: *starts to run* "RUN!"
LordHighRikonian: it has a ring of metal slabs on the top that are hovering above it. These are rotating clockwise. Another ring over them roates counter clockwise
InfinHorizon: *Look at BG* "What is this all about?"
LordHighRikonian: a small ball of energy is forming inthe middle
LordHighRikonian: BG: *cough* "old dude hits harder than you'd think. Oh yeah. The Devil is about to be brought into the world"
Dat Dude Gil: *looks back and stops* "Sweet buddha..."
InfinHorizon: "Think again"
LordHighRikonian: YOu hear footsteps running toward you
LordHighRikonian: Guards
LordHighRikonian: 5 of them
InfinHorizon: *Aims a shockwave at the Gateway, and fires*
InfinHorizon: *Removes His dart gun*
LordHighRikonian: the shockwave is absorbed by the enrgy field
LordHighRikonian: BG: "Sorry, but this party can only be stopped by Davidson now!"
Dat Dude Gil: "Davidson again!? who IS he!?"
LordHighRikonian: "The guy who told me about the devil. He met him"
LordHighRikonian: the guards are getting closer. One of them vanishes in a flash of light
LordHighRikonian: The light was coming fromt eh lab area
Dat Dude Gil: *looks toward the lab, then back at the gaurds*
LordHighRikonian: The other guards stop. Two of them run back toward te lab. The other two levbel their guns. "Freeze ALL of you!"
InfinHorizon: "Talk Faster, pal. What is the purpose of this?"
InfinHorizon: *Aims a dart gun, and fires*
LordHighRikonian: at who?
InfinHorizon: at the nearest guard
Dat Dude Gil: "Oh well, no getting out of this one" *launces a fireball at nearest gaurd*
LordHighRikonian: what dart?
InfinHorizon: Trank dart
InfinHorizon: from my dart gun
LordHighRikonian: Ok, the dart hits
LordHighRikonian: he goes down
LordHighRikonian: the other guard fires at you Erik. a short burst
InfinHorizon: *Try to dodge*
LordHighRikonian: even though your leg is hurt, you siucceed
LordHighRikonian: DDG, still doing the fireball?
LordHighRikonian: and at who?
Dat Dude Gil: Umm sure, but let's get the gaurd who just shot at erik
LordHighRikonian: Ok, you do 14 damage. He staggers back a bit
LordHighRikonian: The big guy rushes toward Erik. He has an ornate silver dagger drawn
InfinHorizon: *Neural Strike him*
LordHighRikonian: you succeed in zapping him before he can stab you. As he collapses, he falls on his blade apparently, because you see a puddle of blood forming beneath him
InfinHorizon: "Dumbass"
Dat Dude Gil: "good riddance" *turns attention back to the gaurd*
InfinHorizon: *Gets his dart gun ready, and shoots another guard with a drawn gun*
LordHighRikonian: Another two guards run up, guns drawn
LordHighRikonian: They're firing full bursts
LordHighRikonian: But their aiming at the apparatus
Dat Dude Gil: "You know, that ALMOST looks like a good idea"
LordHighRikonian: oh yeah, Erik's guard dodged his dart
LordHighRikonian: glancing at teh apparatus, you see a large rippling purplish red thing standing int eh middle of the stonehenge ring
LordHighRikonian: it has large curving horns, flaming claws and a horrendous snarling visage
LordHighRikonian: the thing looks like it's made of shifting red-purple bubbles
LordHighRikonian: wherever the bullets hit, a bubble "pops" but is soon replaced by another
Dat Dude Gil: how far away is it?
InfinHorizon: *Turns and fires a shock blast at the creature*
LordHighRikonian: about 15 feet
Dat Dude Gil: good.
Dat Dude Gil: "sweet buddha" *chucks a fireball at the thing*
LordHighRikonian: Ok, both of your attacks hit it. Shock Blast does 19 damage, fireball does 13. But the creature seems not to notice
InfinHorizon: *Switches dart gun to Setting 3, and fires*
LordHighRikonian: One of the guards runs back toward the lab. "I gotta shut this down!"
LordHighRikonian: no effect
Dat Dude Gil: *bgins runnig toward the damn thing , bulidng up speed for a Jump kick*
LordHighRikonian: Guard: "STOP!!!"
Dat Dude Gil: *stops*
LordHighRikonian: Guard: "You here to stop this?"
Dat Dude Gil: "We are now!"
LordHighRikonian: "Uh, I may regret this later, but go tot he lab. That's the only place this can be shut down"
InfinHorizon: "I'm here for answers. So I'm going to shoot first and ask question later."
LordHighRikonian: The guard then collpses, half of his face gone
Dat Dude Gil: *mulls it fer a second* "he's right we're not hurting it!" *runs toward the lab*
InfinHorizon: *looks at DDG* "Gimme a hand" *Limps after him*
Dat Dude Gil: *supports erik and continues on*
LordHighRikonian: Ok, theguards are no longer shooting at you, and most of them are no longer shooting at the creature, electing instead to run and hide
LordHighRikonian: You get to the lab. A guard opens the doors for you
Dat Dude Gil: "How do we shut this thing off and where?"
LordHighRikonian: Guard: "The control room is just ahead, follow the hall and take the third door to the right"
Dat Dude Gil: *does so*
Dat Dude Gil: *still supporting erik, tho*
LordHighRikonian: the room is stark white. Even the chairs are white. YOu see it has several computer monitors, including one large one int eh middle of a wall (reminiscent of the Enterprise Comm screen)
Dat Dude Gil: Anybody in here?
LordHighRikonian: it is empty, save for a man in a white suit
LordHighRikonian: he's bald
InfinHorizon: "YOu"
Dat Dude Gil: "you! How do we stop this thi-" *realizes that it's davidson*
LordHighRikonian: "Ah, Mr. Not-Erik Tremble. How good of you to arrive", he says in a British accent
InfinHorizon: "Actually, I am Erik Tremble. Just not the one of your world. Now, explain to me what the hell is going on before I start using telekinesis to snap your bones."
Dat Dude Gil: "Davidson! Satan himself is forming out there! Shut thing thind down!"
LordHighRikonian: "YOu say that as if it could scare me. I had my skull crushes last week and as you can see, I am fine"
LordHighRikonian: "Oh it's hardly Satan"
LordHighRikonian: "Just a friend I met while I was.... in there"
LordHighRikonian: he poitns to a monitor showing the stonehenge ring
Dat Dude Gil: *steps back a bit* "You're.. HELPING that thing!?"
LordHighRikonian: "Oh hardly."
LordHighRikonian: "YOu see, that thing is from subspace"
InfinHorizon: "Why was I brought to this world? What have you and that monster done to me? I want to know, pal."
LordHighRikonian: "An accident really"
Dat Dude Gil: "then what's going on? I don;t want that thing anywhere NEAR my world!"
LordHighRikonian: "YOu see, I was happily working to bring free power to the masses, really egalitarian stuff if you think about it"
LordHighRikonian: "When you, only not you, burst in and start trying to wreck things"
LordHighRikonian: "I go to stop you, and you hit me, knocking me into the apparatus, yourself as well"
Dat Dude Gil: "...the last time I saw you, you were trying to kill one of my friends. not very noice, if you ask me."
LordHighRikonian: "Oh, that was after"
InfinHorizon: Actually, it was a copy of my son. Not me
InfinHorizon: "Actually, it was my double's son. Not me"
LordHighRikonian: "YOu see, being molecularly disintegrated because your atoms cannot exist int eh dimension you now find yourself in has that effect"
LordHighRikonian: "Near as I can tell, somehow, you and he were quantumly linked, because when I reformed, so did you"
LordHighRikonian: "Only you didn't get disintegrated here, did you?"
InfinHorizon: "You mean I'm dying as long I stay here?"
LordHighRikonian: oh, you're dead now
LordHighRikonian: just like me
LordHighRikonian: only, we restarted
Dat Dude Gil: "People! we have a big ugly purple thing forming out there!! are we going to do something about it or WHAT!?"
LordHighRikonian: "Quit worrying. You recall what happened to me in there? My atoms cannot exist in subspace"
Dat Dude Gil: "... so it can't exist here?"
LordHighRikonian: "BIngo"
LordHighRikonian: "If it steps out of that ring, it dissolves"
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at the monitor* "what would've happend if I had jumped in there?"
InfinHorizon: "Great. So now the question becomes, what do we do to stop you?"
LordHighRikonian: "Stop me? Why should you care? You're not even from my Earth"
Dat Dude Gil: (brb)
LordHighRikonian: "Anyway, now that you're here, if you would be so good as to walk tot he ring, I'd really appreciate it"
InfinHorizon: "Let me see if I get this straight. I was killed, and am now reborn, but because I'm in another dimension, I'm a little mixed up?"
LordHighRikonian: "Not exactly"
InfinHorizon: "Why should I walk into the ring?"
LordHighRikonian: "You are here, but there"
LordHighRikonian: You are bilocating in a manner of speaking
InfinHorizon: "So I'm in 2 dimensions at once?"
LordHighRikonian: Well, a pale ghost of you is there
LordHighRikonian: "The longer you stay, the more fragmented you become. Eventually, not enough of you will exist here to support your life functions and both halves will die"
Dat Dude Gil: (bak)
InfinHorizon: "What happens if I get back to the ring?"
InfinHorizon: "What happens to Erik Jr? And what happened to his father, my double?"
LordHighRikonian: "Erik Jr. is dead"
LordHighRikonian: "As is his father. And no body will be found. Benefits of having a disintegration ray as a mutant power"
InfinHorizon: "Do you have the rest of my gear?"
LordHighRikonian: "Huh? No"
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at them both, pondering whether he should start busting up equipment*
LordHighRikonian: "Why would I keep your crap for you? I'm a supervillain, not a conceirge"
InfinHorizon: "I'll go but first.." Takes out the .45 and shoots Davidson square between the eyes*
LordHighRikonian: "See ya later" *dies*
Dat Dude Gil: *looks at erik, jaws agape*
InfinHorizon: *Looks around* "When I'm gone, burn him to ashes, as a favor"
InfinHorizon: "Anyone who would make himself immortal, deal with a demon, and murder 2 men deserves no less."
Dat Dude Gil: "okay. are you going into the ring?"
LordHighRikonian: A klaxon sounds
LordHighRikonian: on the screen, you can see the demon thing has knocked one of the rotating rings out of alignment
InfinHorizon: "I'm going" *Limps off to the ring*
LordHighRikonian: The controls are sparking
Dat Dude Gil: "Why does this stuff always happen to me?" *looks into the monitor*
LordHighRikonian: the ring's energies are way out of whack
LordHighRikonian: subspace reality is flying out of the ring, destroying whatever it hits
LordHighRikonian: trees, cars, bits of building
InfinHorizon: *Tries to keep out of the way of any danger*
InfinHorizon: *Thinks about it, and goes back to the lab*
InfinHorizon: *Once there, grabs Davidsons body* "Just in case"
Dat Dude Gil: "why me?" *looks for an off switch*
LordHighRikonian: no off switch is obvious
InfinHorizon: *With body starts to go to ring* "Ham, care to join me?"
LordHighRikonian: the system sparks and the thing is overloading
LordHighRikonian: fire breaks out
Dat Dude Gil: Oh well, looks like it doing the job for me *goes with erik*
LordHighRikonian: OK, by the time you get there, the subspace is flying out in full force
InfinHorizon: "A demon and corpse. Just what I want in travelling companions."
LordHighRikonian: Huge bubbles of subspace are flying out
Dat Dude Gil: "If you;'re going in, do it now. this things going to go any second"
LordHighRikonian: One almsot hits you, leavign a 10 foot crater
LordHighRikonian: so let me understand, you're dragging Davidson intot he ring with you?
Dat Dude Gil: *holds out his hand* "it was good knowing you, Mr. Tremble"
InfinHorizon: *As soon as he gets a chance, he dives into the vortex, with the corpse, trying to tackle bubble the demon as he goes* "Yippee!"
Dat Dude Gil: "great" *hightails it out of there, grabbing his Bo off the groung back at the beach*
LordHighRikonian: The demon reaches out to you as you rush by. As his arm extends out of the ring, it vanishes
Dat Dude Gil: *and keeps going*
LordHighRikonian: YOu dive into the ring, as you do, you feel like you're being ripped apart at the atomic level.
LordHighRikonian: Gil, as you run, a noise draws your attention. You see teh demon stumble out of the ring, and vanish
InfinHorizon: "THE PAIN!!!!!"
LordHighRikonian: You also see Erik fade away
LordHighRikonian: Davidson however, does not fade, just drifts into the vortex
Dat Dude Gil: *looks back* "Good god."
LordHighRikonian: The ring explodes and the vortex vanishes
Dat Dude Gil: and davidson?
LordHighRikonian: No sign of him
Dat Dude Gil: Greeeeat. I guess I'll find a boat, get the hell off this island, and call it a night.
LordHighRikonian: ok
LordHighRikonian: well, good game guys
Dat Dude Gil: Indeed. I liked this one, I got to hit shit :)
Dat Dude Gil: too bad I lost another teammate. :(
InfinHorizon: thanks dude, it was good
LordHighRikonian: thanks
LordHighRikonian: OK, I think we can hit one of the other subplots next week
Dat Dude Gil: Kewl :)
Dat Dude Gil: ...I didn;t do TOO badly, did I? :(
LordHighRikonian: no
Dat Dude Gil: feh, you';re being soft on me, I know it :)
Dat Dude Gil: So any clues on what happens next week? or do I wait in suspense until then? :)
LordHighRikonian: suspense
Dat Dude Gil: woohoo! well, good game, I'm out. :)

InfinHorizon has left the room.

LordHighRikonian: You are on the beach
LordHighRikonian: the one from your vision
InfinHorizon: "OH..." *Looks around*
LordHighRikonian: You see a guy in a suit looking around. He stops. "it's you! But they killed you!"
InfinHorizon: *Searches around for his things*
LordHighRikonian: "Hi, I'm officer Jerry Dent. Listen, you're Tremble, right?"
InfinHorizon: *To guy* "Really, and just who and what do you think I am?"
InfinHorizon: "I certainly hope so."
LordHighRikonian: "Hey, when you, er, died, you dropped some stuff. A mask, some guns, stuff like that. It's at the station if you want it"
InfinHorizon: *Smiles* "Yes. I'll be there shortly. Good day to you." *Gets up and walks off*
InfinHorizon: *Gets Cellphone out, calls Trexis*
LordHighRikonian: "Trexis Corp."
InfinHorizon: "Hi, how long have I been gone?"
