Expanded Beginnings

OOC yep

IC she nods

OOC: Cause, honestly Wookie, I just dislike movies that are adaptions of books and would not inflict them upon anyone. (That and I'm doing this cause I KNOW it'll mess with Gorath.)

IC: *Calton heads off towards that armory.*

OOC Arken....you have such nice manners for a slanderer....and a liar *incinerates with fiery breath*
IC she follows

OOC: In what way did I lie? And sure, it's TECHNICALLY slander but I'm free to rave against things I don't like.

IC: *When they get there Calton begins to frantically search the tubes. Gorath, I'm going to need you to say whether or not he finds something.*

OOC the fact you didn't recognize that paraphrase...disturbs me
IC and...every tube is empty

OOC: Oh wait..yeah. My bad. Sorry.

IC:

Calton: Were those all empty before this crisis started?

OOC you fool.....
IC "no....oh keelah"

OOC: Oh quiet. I had a long day.

IC:

Calton: Aw shit...okay, so how many got out?

"Well....there are....twenty four pods here"

Calton: And they were all full!? Why not just vent the damn things once the ship was yours!? Ugh. Forget it. So we're looking at at least twenty-four baddies assuming every pod was full.

Celi: we couldn't move them or open them! it's literally impossible to do either! and yeah...

Calton: Okay...so why not shoot them while they're in the tubes? Ugh. Never mind. Let me contact Kharr. ++Kharr, Celi and I think we've got a minimum of twenty four hostiles aboard. And I think they're the original owners of the Dracan.++

++....fuck++
to demonstrate why they couldn't do that, celi draws her pistol and shoots one of the pods. no effect.

Calton *to Celi*: For fuck's sake...++*to Kharr* Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Now, I'm looking at the layout of the ship and my best guess would be that they're hiding in the areas that are poorly documented or written off as extra storage space. That being said...Well, given the fact they have some sort of paralysis tech, that could be problem, even for troops in full armor if it doesn't require physical contact.++

++I'll notify the men, you get your arses to safety++

++Calton: Where exactly would be safe? That other armory where all the Voids were paralyzed was a good distance from here, Kharr. Frankly, I'm not sure what qualifies as "safe" right now if these things can so easily incapacitate whole groups of well-trained and heavily armed mercs.++

++just get away from those damn pods!!++

++Calton: On it.++

Calton *to Celi*: Can you think of anywhere nearby that may be secure?

Celi: well....hmm

Calton: Look, you can think on the way. Let's just get as far away from here as possible. *Starts heading down a random hall, cause he really wants to put some space between him and those pods.*

she follows closely...they start to hear what sounds like insect wings

*Calton grabs her and hugs the wall.*

it stops and is replaced with footsteps

*He readies his rifle just in case and edges forward.*

at which point a full squad of collectors rounds the corner and opens fire

*He grabs Celi, dives for cover, and then opens fire.*

Calton: FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

she returns fire also
also...what cover
yer in a corridor

OOC: Behind another corner? My bad. Retcon the cover make that them running for their lives.

IC:

Calton: So, again, can you think of anywhere that make act as a save room!? *Shoots a Collector in the head, killing it.*

Celi: I don't know! Hang on let me...*a shot hits of her shields, which would have killed her if they weren't up*

*When they get near a corner at the end of the corridor, Calton grabs her and drags her behind it.*

Calton *taking pot shots at the Collectors*: Don't mean to rush you but they're not exactly giving up.

Celi: the bridge! There should at least be some intel on them in the computers

Calton: The bridge it is then. ++Kharr, we're headed towards the bridge but we may be coming in hot. We ran face first into a group of these things. Also, start checking the computer databases. There may be some info on these guys stored in there.++

OOC: Just realized that Johnson probably isn't sitting on his ass the moment he hears weapons fire...

++on it!++

*Calton and Celi rush towards the bridge.*

when they get there kharr's going through the computers

*And Calton makes sure to lock the door behind them.*

Calton: Sorry, just a precaution. Find anything?

sev+kharr whats wrong with keili*hic* shes on the ground just laying there*hic*+

++Calton: WHAT?! Aw fuck...Just, grab her and get her somewhere safe. Let's just say the original owners of this ship aren't quite dead.++

kharr has gone silent

all of the sudden they hear static after they hear sev calapse

Calton: Damn it! Kharr, snap out of it!!

++Johnson: Kharr, tell me I didn't just have my boys suit up for nothing. Mind explaining why I'm here weapons fire all over the damn ship!?

Calton: For fuck's sake! Ugh! Shoot anything that looks like a giant bug! Bridge out!++

Calton: KHARR!!!

Kharr: *quietly but in a voice that literally sends shivers down Calton's spine* Shout at me again, i'll tear your goddamn jaw off. *he grabs his shotgun*

*To which he has no reply and just gets the hell out of Kharr's way.*

Kharr nods to two krogan on the bridge and heads out, heading for where sev and keili were

they were outside of the bar

Calton *to Celi*: Watch the door. I'll look through the databases and see if there's anything useful on these things.

she nods and does so

*He starts searching, so...does he find anything?*

he finds some databases n shit on the collectors...not much but enough

*LIKE!?*

basic stuff....thought you knew at least some stuff bout em
