 November 12, 2007 - 3:59am | Refer to: Security Breach at Port Loren (revised). You have been contacted by Beren Tiu, your liason officer at Pan Galactic headquarters, to investigate a breach in security at several top research centers. Someone has broken into these centers and destroyed valuable equipment. The raiders never set off any alarms and never were stopped by anti-intruder security systems. Your mission is to find out why the raids are taking place and to end them. You have met at the Security Service building to discuss your new assignment and talk to some experts about why the security at the research centers failed. You are in the main computer room where data collection and analysis is handled. The chief of security and the head programmer, both Humans, are helping you. Also in the room are four technicians: a Human, a monkey-like Yazirian, an insectoid Vrusk and an ameboid Dralasite. The programmer shows you a small computer cabinet containing thousands of crystal wafers. "The security information and command controls for all our research centers are stored here," he says. "We ran a thorough check of all the systems and couldn't find anything wrong. There is no way the raiders could have broken in." The programmer and chief seem puzzled. What would you like to do?

 December 27, 2007 - 6:24pm | OOC: I guess I've been forgetting to post my move. IC: K'liKit chases after the skimmer as requested, wondering how a human is going to catch a Vrusk. If the skimmer turns, K'liKit cuts across the grass to catch up as long as there are no obsticles or dips. |
December 27, 2007 - 8:19pm | Geunther dashes across the street after the transport lumbers by, making it to the terminal. As he ascneds the escalator, he watches the monorail depart with Gramic inside. It will be a brief wait for the next eastbound car (1 turn). KliKit guns the throttle and the hovercycle leaps forward, just ahead of the transport Geunther was avoiding. A loud blast comes from the heavy trusk's horn, but KliKit ignores it as he grabs a handful of throttle to catch the fleeing skimmer ahead. He rounds the corner to see the skimmer making a short corner to turn onto the Main Square. Woot darts out of the transportation complex and bolts east, making it to the corner to see the skimmer making its turn toward him. Gloob catches the yaz leader as he gets stuck at the exit door, and takes a shot with the sonic stunner, figuring now that the big monkey took some damage he'll be more suseptible to a stun attack. The shot hits, and the yaz drops to the floor! He bellows out on the chronocom "Leader stunned! I'm with him in the apartment tower lobby." Current map and positions:  |
December 27, 2007 - 9:20pm | w00t takes some cover, cheap nothing flashy. :-) Careful Aim, wait for it wait for it. 10 SEU shot. "w00t here, anyone got some fans/wheels I can jump on? I'm gonna take a shot at the skimmer." |
 December 27, 2007 - 9:28pm | "Gramic is on the monorail heading east, going past the transport complex -- anyone by the next stop?" OOC: turn / round -- what's the timescale? Am I going to wait 10 minutes, so should catch up with folks on foot, or ???? |
December 27, 2007 - 9:46pm | K'liKit goes around the monorail crosswalk (if I remember, I would have to stop at the monorail walkway) and cuts across the grass again as long as there are no obsticles. |
December 28, 2007 - 4:02pm | "Gramic is on the monorail heading east, going past the transport complex -- anyone by the next stop?" Woot is closest, he could make the next terminal in two turns (six seconds each) running (east, see the big map from the first post). OOC: turn / round -- what's the timescale? six second combat turns at the moment K'liKit goes around the monorail crosswalk (if I remember, I would have to stop at the monorail walkway) and cuts across the grass again as long as there are no obsticles. The walkways are overhead, no obstacle to drivers on the road. |
December 28, 2007 - 6:16pm | K'liKit goes around the monorail crosswalk (if I remember, I would have to stop at the monorail walkway) and cuts across the grass again as long as there are no obsticles. The walkways are overhead, no obstacle to drivers on the road. Alright, I immediately begin my turn after the walkway, seeking for a long, hard turn as fast as possible without rolling over, cutting through the grass so long as there are no obsticles. If there is an obsticle for any reason, I slow down only as much as I need to to get around the obsticle and finish my maneuver. |
January 10, 2008 - 12:29am | As he ascneds the escalator, he watches the monorail depart with Gramic
inside. It will be a brief wait for the next eastbound car (1 turn). The next car show up yet? ;-) |

January 10, 2008 - 4:48pm | OOC --- I'd go with door #2... Gloob makes his way to the door and binds the stunned yaz. KliKit guides the red Streel hoversled into a short corner, cutting through the grassy area. He narrowly avoids a second hovercycle that pulled out of the mall square garage opposite of the T-intersection, and the cyclist bleats his horn angrily at KliKit. KliKit gains on the skimmer as it approaches the first turn of the square, and spots Woot taking a prone position and aiming his pistol at the skimmer. Woot has a 15 meter shot, he may shoot at the vehicle or the passenger. The driver is not exposed for a shot at this time...however, should KliKit wish to try a shot he has a clean view of the skimmer operator at a 7 meter range. |

January 10, 2008 - 8:24pm | w00t to self (and possibly any listening grass....) What to do. What to do?! ... they need to be stopped, he can't shoot at the driver so he aims for the one spot on the hovercar that would send it to hovercar heaven.... \ / / \ ...wings crossed and hope to die. w00t up the SEU on his pistol to MAX |
January 14, 2008 - 6:13pm | For reasons of apparent conflict that I was not aware existed until now and which my presence is apparently causing another member turmoil, I withdraw from the game so as to put their mind at ease. |

January 15, 2008 - 6:45pm | Corjay, check PMs... |
January 17, 2008 - 4:11pm | OOC: Forgive me. I was thinking of the wrong person. I'm still in. I just didn't want the person to be uncomfortable or make any more personal attacks on me. Since the person isn't actually in this game, I'm still in.  |
January 17, 2008 - 4:17pm | Cool beans! Geunther is taking the next monorail, Woot is firing at the approaching skimmer...KliKit is tailing the skimmer on the "borrowed" cycle (after cutting off another hovercycle that exited the square garage) and is pulling up on the skimmer's left side as shown:  |
January 21, 2008 - 11:16pm | K'liKit slows to make the turn, cutting the corner as possible once again and then speeds up again to get beside the car, drawing his weapon (apply any skill checks necessary to perform it if necessary). |
January 22, 2008 - 8:39pm | K'liKit keeps pace with the fleeing hovercraft and his left hand comes up with a gyrojet pistol in a cross-draw as his right hand maintains throttle control of the hovercycle. The pistol coughs three times and one jet-round hits the driver in the shoulder. At the same time Woot takes careful aim, staring down the length of his pistol barrel to the front sight and he keeps it poised dead center on the approaching skimmer. His finger tightens ever so gently, and then the blaster leaps upward as a maximum power beam cuts through the air. It hits the skimmer square in the grill. The skimmer veers left, directly into K'liKit's path! The skimmer careens around the corner, steering jammed as a result of Woot's hit,and collides with the corner of the restaraunt building. K'liKit misses his RS check as the vehicles make contact and his bike goes into a spin, rotating to K'liKit's left as it hover-skids out of control. The bike comes to a halt in mid-corner, facing the rear of the wrecked skimmer. Fortunately for K'liKit the only oncoming traffic is the other hovercycle that exited the square garage, who is slowing down for the accident. Gloob bolts to the exit of the building and ends his turn at the closed door. Geunther's monorail car leaves the terminal and will arrive on the map shown below on the following turn (at the same position Gramic was on the prior turn, near the double door): Elapsed Turns: 14 Elapsed Time: 1 minute, 24 seconds

January 22, 2008 - 11:00pm | Guenther looks for the 'Go faster' button as he waits impatiently.... |
January 23, 2008 - 10:02am | Running over to hovercycle, changing clips on pistol, patting self on back. "K'liKit! You functional?" Seeing K'liKit dazed *gasp* a piece of tissue unlodges in the back of w00'ts brain...it drops. "Gramic, where is Gramic!?!" Ahem; into chronochome, "Hover car down, K'liKit and I are investigating. Anyone see where Gramic bugged out to?" |
January 23, 2008 - 4:28pm | K'liKit yells at them: "Put your hands where I can see them," ready to blast anyone making a wrong move, "and slowly get out of the car with your hands in the air!" |
