[Nexus] AMEN 32: Srs Bzns

[Moff Chumley]

The Moff definately doesn't touch any of the henchmen's cloning tanks, only the ones reserved for members. Anyhow, even if they do notice anything, unless they're luckier than The Moff, which they aren't, they shouldn't be able to notice anything afoot.

[ThePhantom]

Okay then. Carry on Moff.

[iElf]

the henchmen will see several EDEN gunships airlifting several containers towards AMEN , and two transporters filled to the brim with drones

[ThePhantom]

And the henchman head back inside.

"Um, boss, the copters are from EDEN."

"What? Why are they here?"

Gordon heads for the front door, and after getting out of a broom closet, reachs it.

[iElf]

one of the gunships set's down a man in a business suit "Mr Gordon I presume?"

[ThePhantom]

"Yes. What exactly is going on here?"

Gordon looks puzzled.

[iElf]

he holds out a copy of the contract with Magtok "your first shipment. a small drone production facility, and several Gunships we can supply you with striders and hunters soon"

[ThePhantom]

"I don't..."

Gordon reads the contract.

"Ah, I see. Thank you for this, and if you excuse me, I need to have a few words with my second in commard."

Gordon has the henchmen start helping with the unloading, while he turns to go back inside.

[VampireRot]

Rot comes to the entrance of the main AMEN base looking very annoyed. He's holding a very girly umbrella that shields him from the sun. And he's hungry, but not hungry enough to go out killing people with a Hello-Kitty umbrella. He pushes his way past Gordon and the businessman unless stopped.

"Oh hi Gordon and puny mortal."

[ThePhantom]

"Rot, why are using that? Come inside, and let's talk."

Gordon turns to make sure the henchmen are doing their jobs.

[iElf]

the henchmen won't have much to do, because as soon as the containers are set down, the small factories unpack themselves, and get to work almost immediately

[VampireRot]

"Because I burst into flames if I get caught out in the sun. And the henchmen only had this umbrella."

Rot is clearly aggravated because of this. Once inside and safe from the holy energies of the ever-burning ball of gas, he throws his umbrella to the floor.

"What is it you wanted?"

[ThePhantom]

"Oh, just your opinion on a plan that I think you'll like."

[VampireRot]

"Hm? What is the plan? I hope it involves murder. That's always fun."


Rot sits down in a comfy chair. What? Just because they're evil villains doesn't mean they can't have nice things.

[ThePhantom]

"Sorry, this plan doesn't involve killing, at least directly."

Gordon holds a glass of red lemonade in his left hand.

"Wouldn't you like not having to worry about sunrise?"

[VampireRot]

"Yes. Yes I would. Having to keep out of the sun for the entire day is never fun. Do you have a non-umbrella solution?"

Rot leans forward a bit. He's very interested.

[ThePhantom]

"Well, its a bit tricky, but it would work fine."

A henchman pulls up a chalkboard.

"Now then. Darkness spells block light but not heat, which means in theory, you could cover the sun with darkness spells and not have the world end. Of course, you would have to have enough spells to cover all of the sun's surface, and then you would have to get close enough to do it, but that's not quite as difficult for AMEN as it could be for other groups."

At different points, Gordon points at a drawing of the sun, a drawing of a black covered sun, and a ufo at the end.

[VampireRot]

"Oooohh. So you're saying we could somehow magic enough darkness on the sun and stop all light from getting through. But how would you get enough spells? The sun is pretty big from what I understand."

Rot is licking his lips. He can imagine the sun being blocked out forever. And being able to feast forever!

[ThePhantom]

"Oh, darkness spells are simple ones. The trick is getting enough power. And I think I know how to do it, however I lack the powersources to make it work. But then again, if you don't want me around as leader, why should I even go to the trouble to get them?"

And now Rots should guess that Gordon knows what he and the Moff were up to.

[VampireRot]

It was all Jack and the Moff's idea! I swear!

"Oh that's just Jack. He's all power hungry and stuff. Talking the Moff into trying to get him leader, claiming that he didn't want the power and that Magtok should get it. He's a tricky little devil. But I really couldn't care who is leader, and frankly, your plans are more pleasing to me than Magtok's."

Though Magtok's are more successful. But Rot wouldn't say that while trying to suck up, would he?

"I'm game to getting any power source you need boss. If it means getting rid of the sunlight, I'll do anything."

[ThePhantom]

"Good. Now then, what I need, which I have a hard time getting a hold of is a person who's blood is excellent for blood magic. I know of one, but thanks to the exalted, we lost him. I would like him back. Could you go and find him for me?"

Gordon knows how to play the strings of his follow AMENites, its just doesn't always work.

(And I have to go for about a half hour. See you later.)

[VampireRot]

((okay))

"Of course. But who is he?"

Rot's eyes are shining. His strings are played. Because he's an instrument that a three year old could play.

[Moff Chumley]

The Moff returns to the base, and walks in on Jack, the henchmen, and KR. It takes him a second to piece things together, but then...

[ThePhantom]

"His name is Marley, and I have a one last drop of his blood left."

Gordon pulls out a vial with a tiny bit of red in it.

"Now, you must not try and drink any of his blood, unless you want to explode."

[VampireRot]

"Exploding blood? I'm sure I can hold myself back then. Don't worry."

Rot stares at the blood and sniffs, trying to memorize the scent of Marley's blood. Because he can do that.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Ebon Mirror waits for Gordon to finish talking to Rot.

Also, at some point, a small squad of zombie ninjas arrived at AMEN, escorting five disheveled, shell-shocked scientist-types (variations on the theme of Surgeon Minat in my sig).

[ThePhantom]

Gordon thought he could.

"It might be that skin contract with his blood would make you explode. Just warning you now, instead of in the afterlife."

Gordon knows how bad Gordon's blood is for undead, he did tests, and while he didn't test on vampires, its likely that it would have similar effects. And this should keep Rot out of the way, while he works on the rest of the traitors.

[Lord Iames Osari]

((Hang on, hang on. How does Gordon know who was in on the planning? I just went back over the thread and as far as I can see, Moff never gave him any names.))

[ApeofLight]

Al quietly strolls into AMEN as he thinks and ponders on something.

[ThePhantom]

(Moff said everyone, and so Gordon right now thinks that about everyone was in on it, which is nearly right.)
