"Hey, I knew this thing would come in handy for something other than DVDs." Silikat grins, peering inside the bag of explosives. "This is gonna be fun..."

holding up her gun, "care for an escort? If PitViper can manage without you, that is," she added, looking at the other girl with some degree of concern.

"It took me a bit over half an hour to walk here. Allow another quarter for getting lost and if we have to hide... an hour and a quarter? Maybe less now that I know where this bunker is - it took a little while for me to find it before."

((OT: Apologies for long delays - I'm posting between classes :) ))

I know how you feel about moving. And I'm pretty sure no one will get mad if you change departments, but I'm just a n00b here, so I could be wrong

"I have a Wi-fi device, maybe you could set the cameras up to it? I'm no techno wiz but it can't be too hard." Niely said, pulling a DS gameboy out of her bag.

" And if the spambots get to close I'll shoot them." She said with a gleam in her eye. " I wont be running out of ammo any time soon, I've been stockpiling for awhile."

"How much time do you think you'll need to get to your house and back?"

" I'll Take a red one. And I'd love to help stick up cameras." said Niely. She picked up her shotgun and took a pipe bomb from Kyoki's bag. Turning around to Kyoki, she asked " Hey, what's your name? Mine's Niely"

Said Kyoki, "The more the better! Niely, this is Silikat; Silikat, this is Niely. Now that intros are done, take your pick!" She held her open bag of explosives and said, "Red ones are 5 seconds, yellow ones are proximity triggered, brown ones are 15... And now that I think about it, I've got EMPs and flashbangs in there too!

One more thing, you do have something for when the Spambots get too close for explosives don't you? Explosives are fun and all, but I still haven't managed to develop anything that will selectively harm things.

Anyways, Elemarth and I are trying to stick up some cameras so we can see what's going on in different places, and we're probably gonna lay down an Anti-Spambot perimeter around the fort while we're at it. Do you want to help monitor the camera feeds from your laptop?"

It seemed like the banter between the agents was good, as was the content of the story itself, but I do think that you could have made it a bit longer - even if you were rushing. On the other hand, I snickered when Caroline lobbed a ray gun at Tadkeeta, and again when they took down Nagariku. X3 One thing I was curious about was Caroline's whole horse thing; at first I thought Caroline might have had a horse phobia when she was a kid, as the word 'pang' usually comes with a negative stigma, but later on she was actually happy to go hopping on Tadkeeta. You may want to reword that.

There are disposable cups in tubes near the cauldron of soup. There is also a huge Germ-X dispenser nearby. Miah is out right now, having taken a smaller pot of soup over to the first aid area.

This is mostly rice, canned mixed vegetable, and canned tomatoes, with bouillon and other spices added for flavor, as all of those things are fairly easy to carry in bulk and go a long way toward feeding people.

Anyone can help themselves or set up serving soup to others if they want.

(This is me. Everyone else is worried about defense, offense, and what not. I am worried about making sure everyone is fed and properly mothered.) :D

Miah carried a tube full of disposable cups under one arm, and a large, steaming pot with a ladle in it in her hands as she approached the first aid area.

She set the pot down carefully, and said loudly, "Anybody over here want some nice hot soup? I thought I'd go ahead and deliver it to the injured."

Galenfea turned back to SttQ and PitViper.

"Do we know how long it'll take these..." She stumbled a little over the pronunciation. "Ypurs? To arrive? I know I've got a bigger first aid kit at home, and I think I could retrace my steps, though my navigation abilities aren't great - I managed to avoid all the trolls on the way here."

She wasn't especially keen on going back out there - not having seen the mess some of the people were in who had encountered spambots - but she'd feel guilty if she didn't even suggest it. Still, it was probably impractical; they would need everyone they could get for the defence if the spambots did try to break in.

I could read for pacing and character development. You know my grammar, so someone else will have to read for that.

I've got a rough cut of my Danny/Laura Bad Parody mission and I'd appreciate someone giving it a go-through. If you're not familiar with the Mass Effect universe, that's okay. I'm less worried about the parts relating to the canon than the character development moments and general pacing of the piece.

"That's good. I hope there is some 9x19mm Parabellum there, my Beretta is chambered for it. Thank you, count me as combat-ready."

Sergio searched into the ammo pile, and found a box of the right bullets.

"Fifty rounds should suffice, for now. Good thing I didn't threw away the empty magazines."

He loaded all the ammo. The third magazine was not full, but for Sergio didn't matter. The thing that mattered was that now he was able to defend himself and unarmed Boardes.

SttQ saw two Boarders busy with cameras and explosives, and sighed in relief. At least some people were working on the bunker's defenses. Offense wasn't doing nearly as well.

Checking whether her gun was loaded properly for what felt like the fiftieth time, SttQ looked around her. There were still only about five people in the armed-and-ready group, herself included. 'This is just brilliant,' she thought. 'If the Bots break down the doors and some of them are able to get past the defense system, we have five, jeez, five people to protect everyone else here. How in hell are we gonna survive?'

Just then, she heard a guy who had come in earlier, Sergio she thought his name was, saying something to PitViper and another girl about how he was out of ammo. She walked over to him and said, "Hey, I saw several kinds of ammo piled up near the soapbox. Maybe there's something there for your pistol."

Have a pet cat. You may name her whatever you wish.

Silikat looked up at Kyoki from her laptop. She had heard talk of blowing things up. That, she approved of.

"I'm bored." she explained, grinning hopefully.

"Good thing there are Ypurs out there. However, thank you. I would have been too scared from the blood to bandage the cut right."
Sergio examined his left arm again, and continued.
"However, we should gather all the ones here that have a weapon. I hope not, but spambots can attack this bunker. I'd fight if that happens, but I already ran out of ammo for my pistol."

Don't feed it Sues. Generic Meat would do.

"Apparently, in the first of these invasions, one of the Boarders managed to utilize them to fight trolls and spambots. What was her name... insanegrrl. It probably helped that they like eating sausages made of spambots. I don't know the fine details, but it's on the wiki."

She opened smaller pocket and found a well-stocked supply of moleskin. "It doesn't help that most of this is stuff you'd need during a camping trip, not a spambot attack. I think blisters will be the least of our worries."

Would love to attend! Entropy would still have been around then (he, too, died in the Macrovirus/Invasion schemozzle), and Riboflavin was not yet recruited, but all the rest (Logan, Aegis, Iodin and Alagos) are available for the taking.

That was strange, but I'm glad things worked out alright. And I quite understand your resentment considering I've had my own share of cooking related evacuations at my dorm. -.-

Perhaps investing in an online backup service for you laptop will make you feel better if something similar ever happens? My nervous habit is to pat myself down for my phone, and then to clutch for my laptop... ^^,

I was evacuated in Real Life, so to speak. I could not make this up. Freakishly, my little story about Elemarth's reaction to the evac could have been a version of what just happened.

I wasn't in the least surprised that a fire alarm interrupted my homework/RPGing; we'd known that we'd have a fire drill about this time sometime this week, and a couple of my roommates were actually waiting to get it over with before they dared to have their showers. So, like I did at the board but for good reason, I plugged my ears against the alarm and didn't take it very seriously at first (though I did leave).

Then, as we passed the staircase, we heard people shouting to hurry up. The air from upstairs was SMOKY. Need I say that I freaked out? Just like my boarder self, I had brought nothing with me, and my life is in that room, specifically on my laptop. I think I'd die if I lost my laptop. But I couldn't go back to get it.

We camped out in the complex common room. Like my boarder self, I had nothing (except a fully charged i-pod), but unfortunately, there were no bots to blow up. :-( And I would have liked to get back at whoever's bad cooking was responsible for wasting two and a half hours of my time. We had to wait for the smoke and fire extinguisher chemicals to get out. I didn't hear of any serious damage.

Truth is stranger than fiction. I could almost not believe the coincidence. (I only did believe it because I've had a bigger fire alarm coincidence, which I have been thinking about lately, but that's a story for another day ;) I should be back to the RPG sometime tomorrow afternoon.

...except that my agents weren't around until late 2007. :(
