A BRIEF HISTORY by the esteemed Lord Magtok
Spoiler
Show
In the darkest pits of despair there lived a fearsome being, one made of pure malevolence, hatred, and madness. He had an equally dark and loathsome plan for our world, the formation of an organization to be known as Evil Incorporated, destined to spread his unhallowed name throughout the world, so that all might come to know and fear the one named Psyke_D.
Fortunately for the rest of us, there's already a webcomic called Evil Inc. When this was pointed out by yours truly, the members of this fledgling new organization went into a frenzy. What good could an evil organization be without a suitably original, stylish, and menacing name? All sorts of suggestions were produced, everything from Vilecom (painfully bland) to Fullbladder's Fabulous Funky Foursome (Totally incorrect, as there was at least six of us by then).
Finally, someone (and by someone I mean me) offered a suggestion even better than Evil Inc, the "Association of the Malicious, Evil, and Nefarious". Everyone immediately realized that this was by far the best name they'd ever heard of, and after a chorus of "AMEN, brother"s and nibbling on some pixies, the Association had officially begun.
Years went by after that. In-jokes were formed, members came and went, and dictators were ousted and replaced with new dictators more swiftly than Central America during the Cold War on steroids. It was a glorious time, full of wars with EVIL, The Town, France, and HALO. (All ending in AMEN victories, aside from the last one, which was more of a cease-fire stalemate thingy)
Lives were lost, promptly restored, and then lost again. Love blossomed between various Associates, dark feuds between others, and every manner of nonsense imaginable, but that chaotic energy, that "Burn it all and let the gods sort it out" attitude always came before anything else.
Sadly, these days were destined to end eventually. AMEN just couldn't keep up with HALO, GLoG, and the rest of the world, and xenophobically shut its doors upon the rest of the world. A Dark Age ensued, full of newbs posting inane nonsense and old members complaining about the newbs instead of trying to better their situation, until eventually, not even the newbs were posting anymore.
Then came hope. Most called him crazy (and they were right), others called him ridiculously optimistic, and some say he's a big smelly dragon who doesn't bathe anywhere near as much as he should (Or maybe only I say that), but everyone else called him Gordon, the new leader of AMEN. Realizing that this xenophobic age had to end, he led AMEN out of the darkness, and brought about a new age of darkness, gave us a world where AMEN is once again a serious threat. For that, we owe him our thanks. I'm still gonna stab him in the back the first chance I get, though.
Or well, we owed him our thanks. He's sorta dead now, I think. Me and Ilpholin recently usurped the hell out of him with an awesome arena deathmatch thing, and now his smelly corpse has been exiled and stuff. She's in charge and I'm second-in-command, because responsibility smells. Weee, change!

THE BUILDING
Spoiler
Show
You don’t want to know. The greatest minds of our time have studied AMEN’s base, only to be driven MAD by the labyrinthine, ever shifting corridors and reality-defying chambers. The base itself is sentient, and doesn’t really take kindly to smartasses trying to map it. That being said, as long as you don’t try too hard to make sense of the base, it’s not difficult to find, say, an empty bunk, the common room, the can, the lab, et cetera. Of course, there’s much more to the base than that, but I can’t tell you about it. 1) Because it would crush your little mind, and 2) because I don’t wanna.

HOW TO JOIN
Spoiler
Show
"One of the first things that are to change is a revamping of the membership process. No longer are they to be blood pacts. The forms will be standard and require a fair bit more than just a name."
"Furthermore, just signing them does not guarantee a place in AMEN. After that there will be a background check, followed by an interview with me. Then, if it feels like their goals and such line up with AMEN's, that's when they get in." It's a process designed to know your co-workers better!
"That said, old members will have to go through a similar process to retain their membership. A form filled out and an interview. However, unlike incoming members, acceptance is not contingent upon a decision, but rather simple completion. So former members are in no real jeopardy of losing their place here." So long as they actually do turn in the form and talk to Ilph. No more strangers and non-members loitering around. That's just outright silly in so many ways!

ABOUT HENCHMEN
Spoiler

NPC Henchmen for the most part can be godmodded, however, the named henchmen are reserved for ThePhantom to control.

NPC Henchmen
Spoiler
Show
There are 147 npc henchman, each with a css color designation such as DarkRed, LimeGreen, and Cyan. Pink is the only henchwoman and seems to be the supervisor over the rest, though she still ranks below the named henchmen. Nobody but Gordon really knows what made them take the job at AMEN, but it must have been good.
Named Henchmen
Spoiler
Show
Rogar: Head Henchman, manages the henchmen. Fights with electrostaff. Kicked out
Sweetums: Head Ogre Usher, most powerful fighter of henchmen. Makes the very nice fudge. Trainer
Pete: Henchman of Naval business. Insane, thinks he's a pirate, always talks like one. Kicked out
Mr E: Spymaster of henchmen. No telling what he looks like.

ABOUT MECHANO-PANTHERS by Mindfreak
Spoiler
Show
Mechano-Panthers patrol the halls of AMEN(And some important rooms, like the Main Room) and are basically godmoddable by anyone with a character in AMEN. However, I'd rather you not have them do anything past their programming, which is:
1) Subdue intruder with instant drying cement foam
2) If 1 is not possible, kill intruder with razor sharp metal claws and spiked tail
3) Bring body to torture room or to BioLab(if dead)
The cement foam dissolves from a solvent that the panthers also have.
Also, the panthers will listen to any AMEN member and will go after any people that come in that are not being accompanied by a current AMEN member. They're made of titanium as well, and are as strong and as fast as a normal panther. They will ignore orders from AMEN members if given a conflicting order from Ilpholin, and unknown to Ilpholin they will ignore an order from Ilpholin if given a conflicting one from Megan.
Any questions?

Magma Balcony
Taul gives them a flashing smile before pulling a phone out of his pocket and giving a call. "Yeah, come on over. And be sure to dress as hot as possible. Give them a show." He says with a smirk before turning to the Moffs. "They're on the way." He says with a grin.
A few minutes later, there'll be a big flash of light as Taul's friends arrive with a big black slab of stone. The first who'll attract the Moffs' attention is a dark tan man covered in red and blue tattoos. He's muscular, more so than Taul, and has long goatee, but no other hair on his head. He's wearing just a blue pair of swimming trunks and an amused smile.
And of more minor note to the Moffs are a pair of well-built women. Arla is also an elf, but has tanned skin compared to Taul's pale, and with bright blonde hair, wearing a tye-died one-piece. Anna, the final member of the party, has shoulder length curly dark brown hair, a pair of glasses, pale skin, and a red bikini.
"Moffs, meet my friends." Taul says with a grin.

The Moffs meet one another's eyes, and come to an agreement.
"You're in." Moff says to Aliz, the male combat mage. "Welcome to AMEN."
"You two are admitted on a probationary basis, until Stu can have a look at you."
"Neither of us can judge female hotness."
"Probably because it doesn't exist."
"Stu seems to think it does."
"Stu's brain is made of pollen."
"Point."
"So what's with the rock?"

"Thank you, Moff."
"You're welcome, Moff."
"If you could see the sign, you would see that we admit hotties only."
"And we require proof."
"Of hotness."

Foolish disguised!Marciano. Beings as shallow as the Moff collective are looking for hot bodies, not bodies covered in trenchcoats!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Moffocracy - Magma Balcony
"The block contains some dangerous trash we need to get rid of, and we figured this was the best way how." Taul admits. "If you excuse us for a moment, we want to make sure the trash stays quiet till it's disposed of." He tells the Moffs before nodding to the others. Each one begins to chant in their own different language under their breaths, and after a moment, visible shackles of energy constrict around the block, each attached to their caster.
With the final restraints cast, they knock the block over the side and into the magma pit, the chains extending as it falls.

I can't I recently sustained a horrid injury. However I do in fact have a picture. Marciano pulls out a picture that shows him at the beach with his shirt off. He has sexy abs. The man in the picture is a different person. Marciano has managed to disguise himself as the man perfectly. I require constant warmth. My magic cloak is my medicine. I cannot remove it. I apologize. That picture is me about a year ago before I received my injury. Marciano smiles exposing his perfectly white shimmering teeth. The Spaniard's handsome face shines. However my arms are not injured. Marciano exposes a very well muscled arm and flexes.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Magma Balcony
The Moffs do not interrupt the ceremony, merely gazing in wonder. At Taul and Aliz.
Front Door
"I can't help but notice that your knees are in the wrong place."
"Not to mention your hips."
"And your arms are awfully short."
"Way shorter than the picture guy."
"And, ewww... horrid injury."
"DO NOT WANT."
The Moffs are not normally this perceptive, but when it comes to the male form, they're... kind of experts. Mere mundane disguise will not persuade them that an ugly halfling is a hot human. Some form of holography or light-bending tech or magic would probably work. They're not immune to all magic - just mind affecting sorts.
((Sorry to keep thwarting your characters, but the Moffs are kind of single-minded about this sort of thing. Don't worry, their "rule" over AMEN isn't destined to last much longer, and then I imagine it will be business as usual when it comes to getting new members in.))

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[The Lava Place]
The obsidian block suddenly finds itself in lava.
Undoubtedly this is very uncomfortable, due to high heat levels.
Probably even more unpleasant for things inside, due to thermodynamic rules.
Has to be like the evil version of a sauna.
As far as destruction goes...
Either due to its magical origin, or the simple fact that obsidian's melting point is much higher than lava can manage, the block seems fairly stable.
But it still isn't recommended to touch it.

After a few minutes, Arla looks down. "Think she's gone?" She asks idly, knowing the answer already.
"Is it ever this easy?" Aliz answers.
"Nope." Anna finishes as Taul looks at the Moffs. "So, you said something about AMEN Jackets, cards, and rings?" He asks with a grin. "We'll be here for another hour or so, but I'm sure you can get our measurements."

"Woah."
"Someone is in there?"
"And you just executed her?"
"That is cold."
Moff 101 smacks 102 upside the head. "I think you mean hot."
"Uh, yeah."
"So... measurements, gentlemen?" :smallamused:
Both Moffs pull out tape measures.

The Moffs are deadtimed for Thorium and the droids.
((It's currently not very difficult at all to get into the AMEN base. It is difficult to do it by trying to fool the Moffs by having someone pretend to be hot who isn't. Though... there isn't really much to do once you're inside, other than toss people into the valcano. :smalltongue:))

HK-47 lets out an electronic sighing sound as Thorium is forced to strip for the Moffs. Humans will force each other through any sort of degrading task, these days. HK-47 is up for humiliating meatbags on any day of the week, but it likes to do it stylishly.
The LIN begins cursing in droidspeak furiously as the door shuts before the droids can enter.
"Threatening Demand: Open the door, meatbags! Or I'll given you something to kiss!" He shouts, charging up the cryogenic energy projector cannon.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Moffocracy - Magma Chamber
After the measurements, Taul and Arla feel an inward twinge when the last piece of life inside the block vanishes. "Alright, crush it." He orders. With a flick of magical powers, the chains thicken and tighten around the block. The sound of the rock breaking is muffled beneath the thick semi-solid, but eventually the magical chains draw back up into their owners.
"Good riddance." Arla spits as Taul looks back at the Moffs. "So, mind if we place a few jokes in case Gordon and the others come back? I'm sure you'll find it all tasteful."

"Gordon's not coming back."
"Definitely not a hottie."
"We won't let him in."
"Certainly not."
"But just in case..."
"Couldn't hurt!"
"We filled his office with popcorn."
"And then the base caught on fire, so it's probably all popped by now."
"Tried to sabotage the cloning labs, but Mr E locked us out."
"Wish we could get rid of him."
"He's a jerk."
"No sense of humour."

"Sweet. We just have to get some more of our equipment in here then. Can you all spraypaint?" He asks as he gives a nod to Anna as she snickers before pulling out a cellphone from somewhere in her bikini. "Yeah, all's good. Send the carepackage."
If allowed to, there'll be a flash of light as a big duffel bag with the Remnant symbol on it is teleported in.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Magma Room
Both Moffs shudder in revulsion when Anna pulls a cell phone out of her bikini, as it reminds them of body parts under the bikini that they'd rather not think about. :smallyuk:
"Sure, we can spraypaint."
"What do you have in mind?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Magma Room
"You can spraypaint anything you want." Taul says with a grin before tossing cans of spraypaint to the moffs. "It's magically permanent and changes to any color you want."
After passing a few other cans out to the other Remnants and the Moffs, he tosses the enchanted bag into the lava. When it touches, the Magma should explode into a rainbow of colors as it gets enchanted, turning the molten rock into a rainbow of glittering colors.
"So, ready?" He asks with another grin.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Magma Balcony >> Main Room
The Moffs take spraypaint and start going. One of them is doing fairly juvenile graffiti - crude, poorly drawn body parts. The other is doing a very good version of Botticelli's Birth of Venus on the wall behind the television - with Taul in the starring role and Moffs as the others.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Front Door
Still holding the door open, Thorium signals for HK-47 to stop. No sense in causing trouble, at least not until he has a better understanding of the situation. Namely, the answer to one very important question;
"What is this 'kiss' you speak of?":smallconfused:
Prometheus's Lab
The anti-teleport generator here is briefly powered down, re-activating a moment later. If anyone can sense such things, they might notice a brief spike in energy as something is teleported out of the lab.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Around the Base
Staying in pairs (Azil and Arla, Taul and Anna), the Remnants begin to roam the hallways, spraypainting lines of multicolor permanent paint and words such as "Remnant Wuz Here." on the walls to in the Main Room, right behind the couch facing the TV.
When faced with the bathrooms, they do something special. Every roll of toilet paper they find is lightly coated in itching powder and they'll pour blue dye in all the body wash and shampoo. For a final touch, they put superglue in some of the toothpaste tubes.
They'll do this over the course of a half hour and eventually meet back up in the Main Room, grinning and laughing.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Front Door
Moff 103 begins to quote poetry by Robert Burns:
"Humid seal of soft affections,
Tend'rest pledge of future bliss,
Dearest tie of young connections,
Love's first snow-drop, virgin kiss.
Speaking silence, dumb confession,
Passion's birth, and infants' play,
Dove-like fondness, chaste concession,
Glowing dawn of brighter day.
Sorrowing joy, adieu's last action,
Ling'ring lips, -- no more to join!
What words can ever speak affection
Thrilling and sincere as thine!"
Moff 104 takes the direct route and attempts to demonstrate by kissing Thorium.

When she comes down to Zefir,he has a good image of her mouth and when she goes to open it. He watched her while speaking. Just the moment befor she opens her mouth he throws another dummy.
She also may not see it, but Zefir is also manipulating the air around the bomb, causing it to ignore part of the breath. This should make the grenade less effected by the breath. The throw is again very precise, after all his life was often bound to such a throw a mistake could cost him his life. And the conditions right now aren't so bad, even if the breath cause him to cover his face with one hand.
[Outside the Main Base - Waaay Far Back in the Past]
Manipulation of air! Air bending! Geeze! That sure is a neat power Zefir has got right there! Best of all, it'll work perfectly! Clarissa recoils involuntarily as the dummy spins straight down her gullet. She sticks out her long, violet, forked tongue in mild disgust.
"Eww! These things taste so nasty! Have you ever sampled one?"
No, Clarissa. I highly doubt Zefir has.
"You obviously don't need any more practice on lobbing grenades into my mouth. Let's try something...different."
Without warning or waiting for a response, Dragon Clarissa's tail whips out toward Zefir, attempting to coil around him like a snake and squeeze him tight. If he is caught, it might get awfully hard to breathe really quickly.
That's alright, though! Clarissa will gladly release Zefir if she manages to restrain him if he displays signs of being close to suffocation!
In the meantime, there are attempted mock-smotherings for Zefir! Clarissa does her best to feign malicious intentions.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!

D's fairly short (when not being obsessive about something) attention span finally gets back to making it really steamy in the base. As in hot, boil your skin off, steamy. Lava comes pumping out the glowing hold in the main room and hits the water, coming from the other hole.

The Moffs enjoy the steam at first, but when it reaches dangerous levels, they abscond, likely with Taul and his gang accompanying them.

Yeah airbending *inconspicuous whistle*, should I mention that it isn't only air. I don't think she would be very glad to hear that Zefir has an item that allows him to controll all elements. See Objects here. I just scaled it down havin him learning to deal with it and such. He trained very much with it. The irony is noted by me.
"You could say so." I s his short answer to the have you eat that. In fact he has chewing gum bombs he uses while caught. the chewing gum has black powder taste... not really tasty. After all he isn't ready, he didn't had the chance to clean his eyes from her breath.:smallbiggrin:
Zefir won't be able to avoide beeing graped, but he can do one thing. One of his hands will stay down to reach his bag. it's safe to say that there would be something he could use. His other hand is still hold up to safe his face and to be able to touch the tail.
As a matter of fact he has nothing in his bag to help out here.. damn dummy bombs. But he still has his free hand. Yeah! He tries to grap the tail while breathing hard under the squeezing. The part where his hand is starts to get cold, very cold. It should be so cold that the air would freez. Due to the grap and all he won't be able to freez much only a hand size area, but maybe it's enougth to get free. (You know like this I bite you in the hand and the pain release me way) Her dragon skin could still resist this which would cause him being close to suffocation soon.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Outside of the Main Base - The Past Is Now]
Cold? COLD? Freezing cold! Augh! Ah! No! Clarissa doesn't want a frozen tail!
"Meep!"
Dragon!Clarissa shrieks as the acute frost pounds against her insulating scales. She can still feel the bitter energy nip at her heat reserves through her decidedly well-insulated scales. She'll drop Zefir possibly to the ground faster than she performed her tail sweep!
Cold is one of her major, major, easily exploitable weaknesses!
Clarissa opens her powerful maw and breathes fire up and down her sensitive tail several times, whisking the jet of intense heat and light from side to side with great care.
This will last for a couple of minutes. Clarissa needs a moment to mentally and physically recuperate from the heat theft enacted upon her terrifying form.
After that time has elapsed, she'll morph back into Normal!Clarissa.
She's still rubbing the back of her spine gently with her hands.
She could really use a blanket at this instant.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Outside of the Main Base - No the now becomes th past in the future.]
Yeah things worked out better then thought... ok he didn't really thought he could escape. After droping down Zefir tries to land without breaking anything. He thinks he could rest now since after all she squeezed him. AS he heares her taking a deep breath for her fire breath Zefir rolls out of the way until he hits a bush. He stops there breathing hard and slowly regaining the power to stand up again.
He just hops she isn't that mad at him, but it was some kind of reflex.

Well, that philosophical and poetic explanation of the subtle art of kissing really would have been quite helpful, were Thorium not preoccupied by freakin the flip out.
The poor, clueless supersoldier is caught completely off-guard by being dragged into a smooch with the Moff, but he reacts admirably fast, utilizing all his modified strength to quickly try to shove the lecherous 104 off of him and preferably far, far away.
"Bluhg! Gah!" Onomatopoeia! "Get the **** away from me!" Thorium splutters, having quite a bit of trouble thinking clearly, between the pain from his wound and the eight different kinds of panic alarm going off in his brain.

Moff 103 gets back to his feet. "Er, on the advice of my fellow me, I will waive the second kiss." Moff scribbles a note and hands it to Thorium. "If anyone else who looks like me offers to kiss you, show them this. Please."

Once Thorium and the droids enter, Moff 103 will lock the door again.
Inside, they'll find the base vandalized as in previous posts. The main room is too hot for human life forms. Possibly too hot for genetically engineered supersoldiers as well, since presumably they still are mostly made of water. I doubt even Prometheus could work out a way for non-magical beings to survive at magma temperatures without an external cooling suit, but I could be wrong.
It's a shame too, because The Birth of Taul is very well done, and now no one can see it until the room is habitable again. :smallfrown:

He stops there breathing hard and slowly regaining the power to stand up again.
He just hops she isn't that mad at him, but it was some kind of reflex.
[Outside of the Unpolluted, Non-defaced, Non-hazardous, and Styling Base of the Past]
Nah! Clarissa won't be infuriated on account of Zefir's counterattack. She actually thinks it was kind of ingenious to use her second easiest exploitable weakness against her! So everything is fine! Unless Zefir goes around blabbing the secret to every single person who resides in the Nexus. That would make her job much more difficult as she would have to adjust her battle strategies and methods in response to the newly emerging threat!
Sparring's point is to train people how to protect themselves/beat up the other guy in comparatively safe environments. Discomfort is standard fare in battle simulations.
Clarissa stands where she once stood as a dragon, continuing to rub her back in mild distress. It is nothing to worry about, really.
Though a coat would be more than valuable to her right about now.
So she conjures one up out of thin air! It is a faux fur coat, made entirely of synthetic fibers that are eco-friendly and just as fashionable as the real thing if not more so!
"C-c-cold!"
"Y-you have proven that y-you c-c-can handle yourself well enough to receive a d-dragon egg."
Clarissa shivers.
She could go for a warm bath.
Hmm... First give Zefir the egg, then go take a long, hot shower! This has the makings of an exemplary plan!
"Follow me."
Clarissa turns around and starts walking back toward the base! Straight to her room, more specifically!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Outside the Past base getting Into the past Base]
A weakness? Oh my God...TO THE WALL! Eh yea let's say he don't really see it as a weakness just a lucky moment for him. Hopefully she won't try to intimidate him.
He follows right after her still breathing hard.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Clarissa's Dungeon Room - The Past]
Clarissa will proceed to trudge to this location, then! She halts outside of it, patting herself down in an attempt to scour her body for her room key, an attempt which appears to be doomed to failure-
No! Wait! She's got it! She plucks her key out of one of the large, compartmentalized inner pockets of her shirt!
Hold it! No shirts Clarissa owns have inner pockets! Those shirts would be far too drab and unfashionable (not to mention ugly on her).
So she pulled it out of her body, then. She stores keys exactly like she does most other items she finds in her possession.
"I'm going to go into that room. You can accompany me if you wish, on the condition that you don't wander off and get lost."
Clarissa unlocks and opens the door to her sunny, hot lair!
It is a tad empty in here at the moment.
Save a marble pedestal shaped like a hand cradling a blue-spotted dragon's egg which Clarissa will attempt to pass to Zefir.
"I don't know about you, but I need a shower. You can tag along if you want to talk to me more about stuff, but you'll need to resist the urge to scream if I happen to pipe in water that melts your eyeballs out, okay? I only say that because I'll be flooding my stall with steam fresh out of the lava water heating and purification system we've implemented."
"At least, I think that's what it is..."
The yet again confused Clarissa then trots off to dip herself in the closest thing she can attain to water-lava. Zefir can now choose to follow her or leave with his dragon egg!
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Clarissa's Dungeon Crawling- The Past]
"Actually I would need a shower as well, but just in case I can't stand such a heat. I'm still a human after all. And if you flood the whole room i'm sure I won't survive. So Even if I liked to talk to you I think I should go. Alive is better than dead."
He will tend to leave with the egg if he did understand her right. I don't think cooked Zefir tasts well.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Off to the Showers and the Future!]
Actually, Clarissa wasn't planning on filling the whole room to the brim with piping hot steam. She was only going to pack her region of the showers with it. The bath room is large enough for something going on at one end of it not to harm the other, I do believe from my impression of it.
Plus, Clarissa wouldn't intentionally offer Zefir something that would definitely hurt him.
"Suit yourself. You're only going to make me enjoy that hot, steamy room all on my lonesome."
"Catch you later!"
Clarissa begins to casually stroll away! Off to the showers!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[After Missunderstanding in Clarissa's Room]
Actually I really thought she steams up the room. Yeah that would have cause mayn damage. He will go to his room.
Eh what size has the egg? I mean he don't really wants to leave it but if irs to big he can't really carry it along the whole time.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Just Past the Entrance
"It's not a skill I've practiced, nor intend to! In fact, it's absolutely disgusting." Thorium snaps, taking the card and leaning up against the wall to regain his breath... Rib fractures, no matter how thin, hurt.
And technically speaking, Prometheus might be able to design such a creature, given enough time, but any lifeform that could survive in magma or similar climes would be nowhere near human- more likely a mineral based lifeform with a heat-resistant exoskeletal carapace. Nor for that matter could they be made any larger than, say, an insect. In short, possible but probably not efficient.
For now, Thorium waits for HK.
Security Room
One of Prometheus's supersoldiers arrives here, giving a sharp rap on the door. Unless someone answers quickly or the door is somehow locked, the armored clone will just push the door open and walk inside, the knock little more than a warning in case the henchmen have already set up entrenchments.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
The door is locked, actually, and rather surprisingly.
Inside can be heard the sound of some rather uproarious laughter, and... the distant sound of explosions? :smallconfused:
One of the voices is more mechanical than the other.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
Some of the laughter sounds rather Moffish as well.
"Oh man... and then the fire started... FWOOSH!" :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Somewhere in AMEN's Past]
The egg? Oh, that's roughly the size of a human head. As long as Zefir keeps it moderately warm, the precious little baby dragon dwelling inside of it will live. There is one rule clarifying this point that must be followed at all times. Don't put the egg in an environment where the heat levels are lower than what they are at room temperature. That will cause the baby dragon to die. After it hatches, that won't be much of an issue, but as is, the helpless thing can't generate enough heat all on its own to keep itself comfortably warm. Clarissa went over all of this stuff with Zefir already, so I doubt any harm will come to the dragon egg.
I have a plan for an event which shall occur when the egg hatches too! It is going to bond the dragon to Zefir forever on top of being unbelievably cute! :smallbiggrin:
Off in the AMEN washroom, Clarissa showers! Soapy suds are all the rage in showers, so Clarissa has a ton of them coating her from head to toe!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Somewhere in AMEN's Past]
Having the ability to manipulate the elements I bet he won#t have that much of a problem also he could train his skills since even the small thing he used in the fight cost a huge amount of power. So we'r done now and chars merge back to there real one which in his case means back to Outside.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Security Hallway]
There's the sound of time and space rending as a shadowspace window - which looks suspiciously like a Stargate hyperspace window, except leading to the Plane of Shadows instead of hyperspace, of course - opens.
Becky, in her slinky new outfit, steps out, then looks back to await the arrival of her Mistress.
Oh, and that other minion she keeps forgetting the name of. Val somethingorother. :smalltongue:

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Door
Well, Marciano and Grantaire are back! Except now it seems they have made quite a huge profit. The pair of kleptomaniac halflings walk up to the door and knock. Marciano looks nothing like he used to. Now he's dressed in extremely expensive clothes. He wears a silver satin pair of trousers, along with a belt made of real gold. The halflings hat is even bigger! And now decked out in peacock feathers. The halfling has a new bright blue tailed petticoat with real platinum buttons. Each of the buttons have Marciano's own insignia printed on them. He wears a silk orange cape with red outlines. The halfling has clean white gloves with silver buttons. The halfling has his hair perfectly cleaned and tied in a ponytail. However the halflings eyes are covered by deep shades. The halfling knocks on the door loudly, Knock, Knock! The halfling even walks differently. He smokes a very long cigar. Grantaire is dressed in a halfling trenchcoat and carries a set of keys.

The sign remains on the door
AMEN: Under new management.
Membership open to hotties only.
But no one answers. At least no Moff answers. I suppose Thorium might choose to.

Ilpholin does pull Valente along, yes. Not that he needs encouragement. She steps out of the portal and takes a quick look around.
Takes note of the supersoldier at the Security room entrance.
"You're dismissed private." She'll tell him.
Before glancing at Becky. "Inside the room there if you would, please?"
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Security Hallway]
Yes, Valente has indeed followed along, more than willingly. He stands ready to do whatever Ilpholin asks, especially protecting her.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
[Security Hallway]
Becky nods, and will rend time and space to the Shadow Plane to take them directly to the desired room!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
"I don't take orders from you." Barry replies, although even before the portal opened behind him he was turning to leave anyway. They did promise to go away quietly after all, and with the henchmen squarely upon Ilpholin's side, there's little point in breaking that promise.
At least according to the commanders there isn't. The actual soldiers would love nothing more than an excuse to wreak some havoc on the way out... But unless such an excuse is provided, Barry will indeed leave AMEN's new leader to her business.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Security Room
Ilpholin watches Barry go for a bit, before stepping into the room proper.
And giving Stu a proper beating after getting hit on a bit. Primarily just to get him out of the way for now. She's got things to do. She also tells Moff to move, though in a far less painful way. After asking Happy, he does.
Anyways, Ilph hits the base intercom button after getting the room occupants to stay silent for 1 minute. No easy feat with AMENites, but somehow it gets done. The intercom crackles.
"Ahem. Attention. For those of you were somehow not at the grand battle of the century, the results are in. I, Ilpholin, am your new leader from this point forth. Now, I understand that in this trying and exciting time you probably have many questions. And they will get answered in due time."
"For now, simply know that all contracts Gordon has made previously, with exception to the one resulting in me taking command, are now null and void. Do not worry. This does not mean your place in AMEN is gone, with the due exception of Prometheus and Company, who are leaving as per the agreement. But for the rest of you who worked directly under Gordon, you now have a choice."
"You may at any time between now and tomorrow leave peacefully if you so choose. The rest of you who stay should contact me in my office tomorrow morning and we will do what we can to ensure your place as a bright, productive member of AMEN is secure."
"In the meantime, though, there will be a celebration held in one hour to usher in the new age. Get your party hats on and let's party like only AMEN knows how!"
That ends the message broadcast to the base. Of course, Ilpholin will have to repeat it once everyone actually gets back from the field, but those who stayed back in the first place are the ones who needed to know the most.
She'll turn to Valente. "Head around the base and keep an eye out for trouble. The really bad kind, not the good kind."
She turns to Becky and points at a nearby monitor displaying the Main Room. Of course, Ilpholin can't see anything in there. It's all just steam covering the lens. "Check that out real quick. Be wary."

Moff 101 looks at Ilpholin with his jaw dropped. So that's where everyone was!
Gordon... dethroned? Prometheus... gone?
That has got to be the best news ever! Good enough to be willing to relinquish the Moffocracy. Moff doesn't even make a peep.
"Yes ma'am!" he says, and pulls a hat out of nowhere.
It is a nice hat.

"You got it."

"Will do." Valente lights up at the chance to please Ilpholin. He immediately sets off to patrol the base. Or the front most parts at least. No use getting lost again. <.<

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!

Ilpholin stays here for now, slumping into a chair with a sigh and leaning against the wall.
She glances at Moff.
"Nice hat."
But otherwise rests for a bit.

"Thanks!" Moff says. "You should have seen it, Ilphy, this guy totally blew himself up inside a pillow fort!" :smallbiggrin:
Assuming Ilpholin still has a phone, and it's still operational, a text message is coming through on it.
Otherwise, not. :smalltongue:

Ummm, the main room is full of lava and water and boil your flesh off steam right now. She may not want to go in there now.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Main Room
((When did that happen?:smallconfused:))
Anyways, if there is that stuff in the Main Room, that means Megan has set up a small barricade to prevent the lava and water from going into the portal into the BioLab(Property of Megan and Seltz).
However, Becky might notice that the security measures for the portal's entrance has been increased. She heard Magtok was in the battle but not his exact role. And seeing how Magtok provided the labspace for her...this was a logical idea in her mind.
Such security measures are several panther bots guarding it.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLIII: Moffocracy!
Atlantis Base
The atlantis base, part of AMEN, but mostly forgotten. The key word is mostly. Gordon had sent a number of henchmen down here to run the place, and they are the primary occupents.
Now, Rogar, Sweetums, and the ogre henchmen carrying Gordon's body are teleported here.
"Alright, let's get him to the healing pool."
"But Rogar, he dead. Pool can't fix that."
"True, it can't fix death, but he isn't dead. Not yet, so get him into the pool."
With these instructions, the ogres lower Gordon into the pool of healing water found within this seat of villainy. There, he will have the needed healing he requires to survive, and where he will wait, for his return.

In that case, a force-field bubble protects the shadowcaster the moment she pops into the room.
