Jack - you are restrained inside of a large cage. Each limb is enclosed in massive cuffs - covering the entire limb. You are completely subdued. You have been kept captive in this cage since you left. With you are three starving wild psi-stalkers. Each of them has been given a small vibro knife - and they have been feeding on you since the APCs left - your powers are drained.

The sound of the dirt road beneath the wheels of the APC changes to a smooth surface for a few seconds and then back to dirt road again. The sound of a running river was heard building, and then peaked at the smooth spot - it is now fading behind.

The sounds of a heavy hover vehicle ahead of the APC can be heard - and at several dozen troops running behind the APC.

The soldiers inside - of which there are definitely alot - have remained mostly quiet so far.

Jack struggled in vain, his strength and essence continually being drained. He was a mess of little cuts and bruises, half-healed injuries covering his body. He breathed heavily as he tried to talk. "Someday.....I'll kill you....I will get...free...and then.....you'll die....fucking vampires...."

One of the Wild Psi-stalkers hisses an apologetic reply....

“No choice Na-Wa of Doe Shu tribe have, other choice is die.

"Die Na-Wa of Doe Shu tribe does not want.

"Soldiers in skull armor need die, not Na-Wa of Doe Shu tribe.”

The vehicle came to an abrupt stop. It went from 40 miles per hour to zero in an instant. Not like the power of really good breaks, and not like hitting a wall, or the other APC.

This is instantly followed by vicious barking from somewhere else in this "room"...

A commanding male human voice is heard "What happened? What is going on up there pilot?"

The noise of the vehicles outside stops. There is silence...

The front of the vehicle begins to sink slowly, a few feet already - and the back begins to lift accordingly...

As the vehcle he is in begins to sink/rise Na-Wa takes his right hand (which is holding the small Vibro knife) and tries to feel if he can possibly use the knife to pry his left hand (which is cuffed to the floor) away from the floor. If that’s not possible maybe the bonds of the one he is feeding off of.

[Private to Moloch: 14:13, Today: Secret Roll: Na - Wa rolled 20 using 1d100. clairvoyance what may occur soon?.
PASS

Trying to figure out if this is a prisoner rescue. I know that’s the case OOC but not IC...

14:17, Today: Secret Roll: Na - Wa rolled 71 using 1d100. Escape artist (possible to get free?).
Fail well I botched that roll]

Jack blinked several times as the APC suddenly just STOPPED and not in a braking or crashing sort of way. "Wha's...this? Another trick?....Another....torture?.....won't work...."

PM

[Private to Na - Wa:  - heh - thanks for assuming you had one hand free for the knife... I forgot about that... I sorta copied text from the other APC group of prisoners. Your escape abilities are absolutely no help in this situation - these cuffs are not escapable.

Repeated strikes should do MD damage enough to break any of the bonds - or the bars of the cell you are in afterwards. ]

It has been only 9 seconds since the vehicle stopped. The feeling of gravity disappears as the entire APC drops. It was not moving - so the ground beneath it must have given out somehow. The drop is over ten feet - the sound of several soldiers falling over, some equipment rolling/sliding across the floor. And then a thud as it lands again. Then more silence...

One of the soldiers can be heard "Sir! We are underground... sir!"

In response from the other side of the room "Alright this was planned for - get into positions!"

Some of the other prisoners are calling for help. The drop was not likely enough to injure anyone.

A strange rumble can be heard moving away from behind the vehicle - something else is down here with the APC...

PM

[Private to Na - Wa: Clairvoyance - You are blasted with images of men and mages attacking the convoy - and the convoy fighting back - but the APCs are not there... as you focus - you see the door of the APC slowly opening - and like a dream you drift towards it, slowly - so slow... you try to see outside but it is dark. Mud and earth splash into the room covering a few of the soldiers - followed by someone dark, and moving very fast.


Side note - you are not wearing one of those helmets)]

The APC drops a second time. Another scare, but the APC stops again after a short drop.

The ground gives way again - and it drops even further, and then stops.

The vehicle is no doubt deep below the Earths' surface now.

[Private to Na - Wa: Are you ready for this?

50 infantry - lined up by the back doors.
2 dog boys + psi-stalker
2 soldiers in simple military uniforms - no armour
4 juicers
psychic officer
2 soldiers in plain coalition uniforms
and the crew

Na-Wa observes the number of Skull face soldiers in the back of the metal beast he is in, even his animalistic brain knows to attempt escape now would result in his death, and that of his tribe. But he still prepares.....


[Private to Moloch: Going to ready myself to use Intuitive Combat

Am I chained up or just running around in the cage with this small vibro knife?

How much MDC can I do with the vibro knife and when/if I reach out and pull someone up against the cage will I be able to shank someone in armor by sliding the knife between weak points in the armor?]

PM

[Private to Na - Wa: I like the idea of being free to run around. Your vibro-knife is an old, rusted knife. The damage is 1D6 -2 per strike. Yes that is a minus 2. Minimum damage is 1 point. I havent decided about the armour yet...]

Jack shook his head, trying in vain to clear it. He was weak and he knew it, drained and helpless for the most part. Very quietly, almost to himself, he muttered, "Underground?.....Why?.....Planned....for it?.....how.....would they....know what to....expect?"
