GLoG XXXIV: It gets worse!

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner, thinking he can't really help this situation much, heads to the great room. Or, what's left of it.

Skrall2 looks at DC. So what's the game plan?

[SeptAngel]

She'll forgive you. She tries to hug her tighter and be reassuring.

[Darkcomet]

Skrall2 looks at DC. So what's the game plan?

DC looks down at the floor. I don't know.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn just nods a little, and hugs Alexis back, her normal confident exterior having been completely shattered.


Seems she's being the mental punching bag at the moment.

[SeptAngel]

Alexis hugs her straight into a deadtime.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Then it is time to think of one. Runner says as he enters the great room. We must spend time attempting to find any signs of his presence.

Skrall2 looks at Runner for a moment.

[The Bushranger]

And Quinn will sit there hugging back until somebody else comes into the Infirmary.

[ThePhantom]

The remains of Marley start coming off of the walls, and start grouping together.

[Darkcomet]

Then it is time to think of one. Runner says as he enters the great room. We must spend time attempting to find any signs of his presence.

Skrall2 looks at Runner for a moment.

...okay. First, I think we should spread word of his return as soon as possible. Most didn't like him being around, if only because they liked existing.

Then Marley-bits start coming off the walls. ...the hell?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Skrall2 nods, and was about to head out the door. Then he notices the march of the Marley-bits.

Runner's scanners go crazy as he watches.

[ThePhantom]

Runner should be able to tell that the Marley-bits are being acted upon by a huge amount of the same energy that Marley himself was full of.

The bits as they group together, start to resembles Marley.

[Darkcomet]

DC continues staring.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner follows DC's lead.

Skrall2, however, starts laughing. Holy crap! I think Marley is a genius!

[ThePhantom]

After a few hours of being blown to bits, Marley reforms.

"Uh, what happened?"

Marley collapses.

[Darkcomet]

...that's odd.

Understatement.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner will go to lift Marley and take him to the infirmary.

Skrall2 is still thinking Marley is genius.

[ThePhantom]

Marley is taken to the infirmary, completely out cold.

[The Librarian]

((Seeing that Runner is heading for the infirmary we can continue this.))

When Runner walks into the infirmary with Marley he sees Lowan sitting on one of the beds.
Ah, Runner your back, we may continue I assume?

[Darkcomet]

DC looks at Skrall-2.

...what just happened?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner will lay Marley in a bed, inform the med drones what they need to know, and turn and nod at Lowan. Yes. I apologize for the interruption.

Skrall2 raises his hands and holds them out. His version of a shrug. Got me.

[Darkcomet]

DC frowns. Whatever just happened, well, either you're right or he didn't know that was going to happen.

[The Librarian]

The holo-screen with the Sangheili dawning silver armor reappears.
Yes, yes, as I was explaining the group as my suborbinate called them. "Storm of Dawn is avtually the name of a Sangheili Battle Carrier.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner nods a little, listening.

Either way, he's better than he was.

[Darkcomet]

Either way, he's better than he was.

Well, he's a very, very lucky person at any rate. Though part of me wishes he wasn't as bad about collateral...

DC looks around at the rather wrecked room.

[The Librarian]

Wait I thought you said you checked the ship records Thel' and found no match for that name!?
I BZZT! assumed the same thing, but then I checked some of the Unregistered or Retired ships, and the name came up. The Shipmaster is in your humanoid ranking Commodore Rissah'-Velhi. She was a ruthless fighter in the military and Lekgolo Wars, and was granted the right to be promoted to a Shipmaster.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Has she any reason for coming here?

Eh, it's not the worst that could've happened. The room can get rebuilt.

[Darkcomet]

DC nods. Yeah. We're just lucky no one else was in the room.

[The Librarian]

Lowan shrugs and looks at Thel' looking for a answer.
Over the recent years, Rissah joined a group of researchers that are seeking the ability to provide soldiers with temporary infinite longevity if I'm pronouncing that human term correctly.
Longevity?...Wait! Are you referring to Immortality?

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner's eyes would widen with shock here if they could. That cannot be allowed.

Skrall2 chuckles a little, which sounds weird. Actually, I think they'd be the lucky ones.

And deadtime.

[The Librarian]

Now, n-BZZT! BZZT! lets not jump to any harsh conclusions young elf. Immortality, even though is is possible, requires more energy then a 1000 suns combined. From, what I can tell, Rissah must be after someone on your world that would ehh...make it simpler to get the amount of energy required. And, her obsession, despite how socially debilitating has drawn many members from different worlds to fight along her side to get what she needs.

((Deadtime now))
