Bittersweet Candy Bowl

*As he looks around he soon realizes he’s already in the shuttle bay, but then sees the laser torch, following the beam of light back to it’s source he notices a large broken and bashed ship under the laser torch. He rushes towards the ship and then leaps onto it, while scrambling up the he grabs a rather large bent pipe and throws it onto the laser torch’s emitter, Davier finally manages to get atop the ship before grabbing onto the pipe and climbing atop the emitter* “Yee-haw!”
*Davier turns around to face the wall, raises the pipe above his head, and smashes the emitter’s power supply tube*

No, I was sleeping when it happened, I need to get to engineering and see what Molly’s damage is. *He pushes past her as he runs for the stairs, slipping on his engineering goggles as he goes*
Please let the damage be minimal, I’ve spent my life developing Molly, I can’t let anything happen to her.

((O.O Well that makes things easier. Objections from the host?))

[RED LIGHT]

As everyone rushes through the room ducking under swinging arms as Davier instead makes an offensive against the swaying machinery grabbing a metal pipe to make swings at them pushing them back as his own arms are put to the test. The other three make a break for it towards the exit Sula having trouble not facing Palming at Daviers ‘heroic’ stance….though he does seem to be doing his best to protect them.

The primary power emitter is spotted.. the metal bar is raised… and slammed down destroying it with a mighty yell!…. Sadly.. sticking a metal pipe directly into something full of high powered energy is NOT a good idea. Davier instantly learning how a star feels as he bursts into flames from the bolt of electricity falling back a burnt corpse…as Sula stares in shock.

Stares a bit too intently in fact as one of the mechanical arms swings her way, but her Captain is already there: pushing her out of the way as he gets it to the back of the head instead. Just a glancing blow but the strength of the arm is enough to knock the captain out forcing Sula to Drag him towards the door.

All the while the Doctor is in a panic fighting with the control panel “Damn it. Idiot. Idiot. I’m SUCH an idiot.. If I had my sonic I’d be…” He slams his fist against the door angrily “Damn it OPEN NOW!”

(Congrats! Davier your heroic actions means the Captain lives with a bump on the head instead of a laser to the chest. Sula is thankful <3~)

@ Abel
Outside Abel rushes down the stairs his only thought on his ‘sisters’ safety as he rushes towards engineering suddenly being stopped by Doctor Locks Call “….. Abel….. ABEL YOU IDIOT! I hear someone up there! Someones trapped in the shuttle bay… come on!” The engineer looks distracted glancing down and then up his priorities split.

Doctor Lock rushes for the door trying to get it open from the opposite side”… Damn it Abel what are you waiting for?! There’s flesh and blood people in there..your ‘sister’ is a bunch of zeros and ones….” She growls fighting the access panel open as she toys with the wiring within. “… I’m a doctor not an engineer.. I can’t.. get this stupid thing.. to… work!”

one more round of [Reactions] and you guys should be free to free-form again. [GREEN LIGHT]

((Whoops, when I posted that I thought it would be chemical powered rather than electrical…
Then again, that would just mean I’d be a burnt corpse for a different reason. ;P

Soo… Anyone got a list of the free characters?))

(•Doctor Tesla Lock
•Rachel “Ray” Dailfin
•Lucy Saxon
•Zan Dogabay
•Assistant Engineer Jimmy Justice

I guess May will be depressed when she hears this)

(The current Free characters are Rachel (ray) Tess (Doctor Lock) Justin (Jimmy Justice) Lucy (Lucy Saxon) and Sandy (Zan)

Will be Auto-playing Abels reaction if he takes too long of course. Dudes got a life, no biggy!)

((Out of courtesy don’t take Lucy? I wanted to be the Doctor’s assistant in case I bite it.))

(We will remember Davian for all he did. He…
…
He was a crazy bastard. But we loved him that way)

So, any luck with that door, Doctor? Any gadgets of yours that could get it open? I could start hitting the door if you think that’d help…

(Sorry, got caught up in finals. Thanx for the auto play, that’s how it should work.)

((Heh, you came back to find out someone was dead and you are unconscious. Nice. And I think that the Doctor I mistrust so much should get us out of this one.))

(Anyways, school’s out now, so I’ll have more time.)

(( I still can’t believe how quickly I died, I was kinda hoping to throw some Grand Galactic Inquisitor lines in ))

*As everyone is huddled together in the lobby Zan takes down a light and wires it to a large battery she found in the bar, the light suddenly turns on, shining bright as Zan rests it on a table in the lobby*
“Is everyone OK? Who’s here and if someone isn’t present then do any of you know their general whereabouts?”

((Ooh, oooh! Have a dream sequence where you figure out exactly what’s going on, wake up, and save the day!))

Tesla continues to glare at Abel who’s frozen between his two choices but thankfully she has another one to save the day. The pink haired doctor suddenly being distracted by the shouts of -another- doctor on the opposite side “Wonderful just wonderful! You have the access panel open yes? The one on this side is burnt out… you’ll have to do it… just follow my instructions…” bit by bit

The Doctor talks Tesla through the process a good bit of sweat poring down the brows of everyone involved. Not so much because they’re worried… but because of the intense heat coming from behind them:the machines having finished their job of trashing the shuttle bay, the room was now a giant pile of wreckage, much of it ablaze, leaving our three heroes a bit hot under the collar.

With the final instruction the door finally swooshes open, huge clouds of smoke poring out as the three quickly rush to the sides of the door the Doctor yelling “.. Close it! Close it..! Unless you want it to spread to the rest of the ship!” pushing Tesla aside to fiddle with the wires once more the doors slamming shut…. getting one last look at Daviers body which was now little more then burnt ash.

Tesla almost immediately rushes to the Captains side as an anxious Sula watches. The three are given a moment to take a breath. muttering out “.. he’s… alive” As she checks his scanner “He should be fine… just a little knock on the head.. no lasting damage…”

(Reaction time over. You’re all free to play normally now…as well as guide the NPCs around. Just nobody wave a magic wand and fix the entire ship or anything. Was hoping the reaction thing would go a little more smoothly. Slows things down a bit but I figured it would add a little more suspense and drama to things. Give you some control over who lives and dies. )

(???)

(??? I’m not a very good writer. If the host wants that to happen, he can write it. Maybe I will if I think of something.)

Well…that went rather well. Poor Davier, sacrificing himself to save us like that…

((Sorry, I have guests over, I’m trying to check in as much as I can))

*He continues down to engineering now that he is no longer needed, the only thing on his mind being Molly’s condition* Oh god no…*He pales as he sees the damage, severe enough for her to be offline for quite some time* I hope to god I can restore her..

*The captain, despite receiving a serious whack to the head, is tougher than he looks. Pretty soon, he starts to come around.*

…Oww…What the…? What happened?

Abel runs right into Jimmy who is already working like crazy having been down in engineering when the disaster struck. The entire room feels like a furnace as you walk in “…W-w-wayward! Finally Finally!” You swear the man is a step away from running over and hugging you but he manages to contain himself in his panic as he goes over the systems “Everything’s gone freaking haywire! I can’t get Molly to talk at all….. the power core’s the worst it doesn’t seem to know where to send energy anymore! Sending TOO much some places, and none at all elsewhere.. I wouldn’t be surprised if half our systems are fried from a power surge… we’re so screwed!” ;O;!

(Hehe, you can assume Jimmy is on Auto-play helping you with the Repairs Abel. Just for the record folks:One thing that is VERY broke is communications. Beyond a basic distress beacon you’re going to be without help for a while. As is the case with more MM games. You can all expect another Disaster before the night is out)

Oh, nothing much, we all sat down to a delightful lunch, discussed current events, that sort of thing-THAT DOCTOR GOT SOMEONE KILLED. Would’ve been the death of all of us had it not been for Davier sacrificing his life to save us.
*Ultimate death glare at the not-so-good-in-my-book Doctor*

*See’s an elevator door open and ignores zan*

“Hmm,this may not be the best idea..”

*walks into the elevator and starts to tinker/mess/whatever you want to call it with the control panel*

“Let’s see if i can get this to work”

(If i’m not allowed to do what i’m planning,disregard this post)

(Getting the elevator to work is fine. Just assume it takes some time though. And don’t assume it’ll continue to work when the next disaster strikes)

*Brushes off some dirt from his shirt sleeve*
Much better now that you’re here my beauty.
Y’know if something ever happens again I’ll be sure to keep you safe.
This tin-can ain’t afraid of nothing.

*Feeling guilty over Davier’s sacrifice.*

His death was the last thing I wanted. We need to get the station’s A.I. running again and figure out the status of the rest of the station and it’s current occupants.

(Going to be away again.)

“really not afraid of anythiny huh?”
slaps ass

*as he continues to work on the elevator panel,it sparks slightly*

“Uh oh..”

*The doors slam shut*

I’m gonna go up to see if my equipment’s at least salvageable after all this nonsense.
*Walks off*
((This is assuming that there’s either a working elevator or a set of stairs I can use.))

Oh god, oh god, where to start? *He turns on his glasses to get more information on the damage* The communications are completely dead, it’ll be weeks to fix that…the servers look critical, oh come on Molly, speak to me, I gotta know you’re still there. *He growls angrily and looks to Jimmy* Grab my tools and meet me at the Power Core, we gotta get it stable before it kills the Life Support, or something else vital.

*Although thoroughly dazed, the captain’s ears predictably perk up at the word “killed”. But he remembered that part.*

S- Sula, I don’t… think …it was the doctor’s -ouch- fault.

…Sula?

(I’m bored of sitting here reading without participating)
*Noticing the door closing on Aurelius, and the surprise on his face when it does, May tries to alert the others around her to his plight, pointing to the door and waving her arms. Completely forgetting about the mental-translation thingy in her panic.*

Yes there are stairs you can use Sula no worries. In the mean time Doctor Lock starts helping the still dazed Captain to the Sick bay. He clearly being in no shape to command anyone just yet. As she leaves though a single Photograph falls from her pocket.. an easy grab for Doctor Toss or Doctor Smith.. whichever is more willing to grab it. Though Lock is gone before you can question it beyond taking a glance.

I uhhh-
I should go check to see if anyone else got hurt.
I wouldn’t want these pretty ladies to have ruined those pretty faces.
*Runs off*

*as he continues working on the panel,he manages to get the fire alarm on by accident*

“This just keeps getting worse,someone seems to have reworked this whole panel..this should NOT be happening..”

*starts working to get the alarm off*

*Hears the alarm.*

Wh.. what is that? Why… is that… going off?

((Might’ve taken off a bit too quickly, but this is SCIENCE just retcon my previous post so I nab the photo on my way out.))

Hehe K. Sula takes note of the picture it’s quite odd in fact. It shows a much younger Tess at the bed side of a very sickly looking cat of the same age. Thin and pale but somehow still smiling with his hand in hers. It takes you a few moments to recognize him…but you swear that.s Apalo Alpha… or you would swear it is if it wasn’t for the fact Apalo was an android.. and the sick man here is clearly organic. Something to pestering him about later perhaps~

(anyway I’m AFK for a while. You guys having fun trying to fix the station)

*manages to shut off the alarm after a few sparks later*

“Well,that’s done finally.”He said with a sigh of relief

“Now all i need to do is open these doors,or get this elevator to work.”begins working on the door controls again

*The captain, having passed out again after the alarm went off, awakens to find himself in the sick bay.*

Ouch… Sula owes me big time. *He gently rubs the back of his head.* Ah… Shit, that’s one helluva bump… Hey, Dalia, call up Abel on the intercom. I need to check on how he’s doing.

*What was that alarm earlier?*

(Here’s assuming that the intercom still works… I’d assume it does, but only to limited parts of the ship now.)

*Runs over to the elevator and starts banging on the door to see if Aurelius is okay inside, while trying to get people’s attention so they can force it open, not knowing what the sirens were.*

Great, the equipment’s trashed, but I can still get at the readings once we can get the power to come back on…Right, now that the research has been secured, time to go check on my captain…
*Sula continues to get plenty of exercise navigating the station’s main stairwell on the way to the medbay.*

wanders behind the bar and collects two botles of space booze from the floor one bottle purple and frothy and the next the a smokey brown liquid with the consitance of maple syrop

“man what a mess, and why hide titanium crotch, i could show you many, many things”

chugs the purple bottle

“BRAPP!! okay then i’m gonna stay here for now but if you need me you know im at the bar and ready for fun”

(sleep time for me)

*Having exited the stairwell, The Doctor notices May’s distress and rushes over.*

What’s wrong?

*Figures out the problem and wedges the crowbar into the door to force it open.*

((Well well, just checked the ship layout and I get to pause to check the elevator drama in the lobby.))
May? What’s wrong? Is there something up with the elevator?
((EDIT: my timing’s impeccable and delivers the Doctor to me. How fortuitous.))

I trust that the situation is under control now that the buffoon is here to make things right?

*Hearing the alarm go on and then off Zan looks around and sees May frantically waving and pointing at the elevator* Hmm… Wasn’t the door open before that Aurelius guy wandered… off… *As Zan wanders around to find something to use as a crowbar, she stumbles upon the covering for the air shafts that Davier pulled off* Well, the ends of it are narrow and sturdy enough for a crowbar substitute.
*Zan walks back to the Elevator and begins prying it open* “Grr… Could someone help me out here?”

((So now two people are working the door open?))
