They may, unless he's already there.

If the latter, Zamira will see the smoke and start making her way there.

[lord pringle]

Claire looks at mikani. R-R-R-Rutabaga?

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

And lo, Quinn is there! Hurrying over to Patient 10 first. Wringing her hands over losing Paitent #11, and having attempted Laying On Hands on #3 to cure the bleeding first...

When she reaches #10, though, she attempts to press her hand to his forehead and determine if there are mental effects her telepathic powers can handle...

[Crash Site?]

And Shrike will follow Zamira in the direction of the smoke...

[Outside]

"It's a pun," Mikani explains. "Rude about it. Rutabega! Get it?"

[lord pringle]

you n-n-n-need to m-m-meet some of my b-b-b-bard friends. Claire sighs.

[Darkcomet]

[Crash Site]

Being a fusion reactor, the technology involved is rather advanced to say the least, but Sunny can probably figure out how to deactivate it.

Given that she came prepared and all thanks to Mainframe, it shouldn't be the most difficult thing she's ever done, either.

[happyturtle]

Crash Site

I imagine it will take her long enough that she's still there when / if Thrid and the Encyclopede enter. The drones are still trying to warn everyone off, but the only weapon they're using is red text and flashing lights.

[Gullara]

[Crash Site]

Well then, I can assume Thrid just goes stomping on by.

Why is he here anyway?

Ah yes, to get parts. Looting essentially. He picks through the wreckage, picking up any bits and pieces of the ship he can and putting them in his pack.

[The Bushranger]

[Outside]

"Oh? I assume they like punnery, then?" Mikani asks, grinning.

[Crash Site]

Shrike and Zamira arrive? Maybe?

[lord pringle]

They're m-m-m-mostly b-b-b-bard/j-j-j-jesters hon. Claire chuckles.

[happyturtle]

Crash Site

Is Thrid inside the ship now, or scavenging outside?

Shrike and Zamira get the warning about radiation.

[Gullara]

[Crash Site]

Oh he makes his way inside right about now.

Not sure if Sunny is in sight, so let's say he continues his lootingsalvaging. He's being pretty loud about it.

[Darkcomet]

[Crash Site]

There's not much salvageable on foot. While I'm sure a more thorough salvage operation could probably rip many of the Spectre's weapons off of the wreck, those tend to be much too large to place in a pack.

So if Thrid keeps to parts of the ship itself, he's going to get plenty of scrap metal.

[The Bushranger]

[Outside]

"Oh, I see."
Mikani giggles - and deadtimes, alas.

[happyturtle]

Crash Site

Sunny hears the noise, and checks with a drone to see what's going on. Once she sees Thrid through the camera, she gives a few orders to Mainframe, and returns to her work.

[UncleWolf]

Infirmary

Cutter returns with a now much heavier bag of supplies before seeing the sorry state of the patients. He curses and pulls out a fleshy lump from his bag. It seems to pulse, and is about the size of a orange. He sets it on Patient #4, and if it works, it should burrow a few tendrils into the person before dispersing it's payload of regenerative cells, clotting agents, and powerful anti-biotics. If it works, the bleeding should stop, the regeneration amplified, and his body should find itself with a strengthened immune system.

[Gullara]

[Crash Site]

Well every one of the pockets on his pack is actually in interdimensional pocket, but point taken. Scrap metal, wires, etc are always good though. He picks up anything intact enough to be of use. He does a pretty thorough search of each area he goes through, so it's slow going.

[horngeek]

"I have abilities that will protect me against that."

[Darkcomet]

[Crash Site]

The low hum of several Imperial aircraft is heard. Two EvAV-1 gunships and two EvAV-2 transports are approaching, the latter two going in for a landing near the Spectre's wreckage.

Unless they're stopped, four Imperial Army Spec Ops soldiers and three IA Heavies climb out of them, most going to go search through the wreck. A Heavy, carrying an EvHW-1 assault blaster, and a Spec Ops soldier remain, approaching the nearest GLoG member outside the wreck. The Spec Ops soldier, carrying his EvR-2, speaks. "What happened here?"

The others on the Spectre might come across Thrid, one of the Heavies looking intently at him. "Drop everything you've taken and get out of here. This is Imperial property."

[Gullara]

[Crash Site]

Uh oh.

Thrid looks up from a particularly nice piece of scrap metal. "De hell is is. Dis is a scrap heap, lads. Needs to be cleaned out of all de useful bits."

Dang stubborn dwarf. >.<

[Darkcomet]

[Crash Site]

"This craft was stolen from the Empire and any salvage from it belongs to the Empire." The Heavy draws a rather long and menacing black sword (how unusual for an Imperial) that looks like it'd be rather impractical for someone not in power armor.

The remaining Heavy and 3 Spec Ops soldiers ready their weapons as well, the former another EvHW-1, and the latter more EvR-2s.

"Don't make this harder than it has to be."

[happyturtle]

Crash Site

Since no one has reached the reactor core yet, Sunny continues her work, while drones watch the conflict elsewhere in the ship.

[Gullara]

[Crash Site]

"Yer all daft." Thrid informs the soldiers. "But I guess I'll be listenin to ya. Let me grab de stuff." He slowly reaches behind his back and starts pulling out a large piece of metal that should never have been able to fit into it.

The dwarf sets it in front of himself. It's large, rectangular, and conceals his whole body. That's not a piece of the ship at all, although that wasn't immediately apparent. It's a tower shield. A loud smash can be heard from behind it. Then, silence.

He was up against a wall by the way.

[Murkus]

Crash Site

Hey, is that a little girl wandering through the wreckage?

Oh, yeah, it is. Completely unperturbed by the destruction around her. Sarah jumps atop a broken piece of hull, observing the surrounding area with her wide eyes.

[Darkcomet]

[Crash Site]

If he just tried to teleport away, he might find that difficult. The Spectre was equipped with anti-teleportation systems that remained on, and with the reactor still active for now, they're still online, the system being decentralized and redundant like the ship's cloaking device once was.

Speaking of cloaking, one of the Spec Ops soldiers cloaks, and moves to get a look around the tower shield.

[happyturtle]

Crash Site

(Outside)

A drone approaches Sarah, flashing a red light.

Warning: Please evacuate this area.
Warning: This site is not safe.
Warning: Please return to main base.

Poor drones. They're having almost no luck at all keeping people away.

[Murkus]

Crash Zone

(Outside)

And, given the nature of PCs, they will continue to have no luck.

"I'm fine." Sarah says, glancing at the drone. Then she jumps off the piece of hull, wandering further towards the ship.

[Gullara]

[Crash Site]

Oh good, they never responded immediately.

When the Spec Ops guy looks around the shield he will see that it looks like there is a hole in the wall that is now full of scrap metal. Evan as he looks the tower shield shutters then snaps against the wall, covering the hole. If his armour is made of metal he might feel like he is being pulled toward it.

They will now hear another crash from beyond the wall.

Back to Thrid. He has just smashed through another wall and has thrown a ball into the hole he left behind. It beeps then a bunch of scrap metal flies to it, sealing the hole much the same way as the first.

The dwarf, meanwhile, makes his way in the direction of the second closest outside wall of the ship. As he runs he traces a rune in the air which should animate any corpses in the ship. If it worked they will make their way towards those pursuing him.

[Project_Mayhem]

"We can fly part of the way there, but the actual base is underwater, so not all the way. Want to go now?"

OK. That sounds cool. Wanna mount up?

Odysseus steps forwards

[horngeek]

Brianna plot-clone nods, and hops on!

{{...why do I keep expecting Victor to try to seduce Brianna? }}

[Project_Mayhem]

I don't know!

Anyway, and I thought I'd never say this, to HALO!
