Lightning bolts leapt from cloud to cloud over the pink, cotton candy mountains.  A path over the mountains drew you.  And drew you, with a No. 2 pencil, and you fell through the path, and landed hard on your bum.

"Instantiation, complete, Xor Receiver Yarg."  The voice sounds odd.

"Correct, Xor Lord Machait." Another odd voice.

You're sitting up, on something hard, with static discharge leaping from fingers to the ground.  The air is conditioned, but stinks of various unknown scents.

OOC: Level 2 arrival.

"Uh, hey who's there?"

"Xor Receiver Yarg. We caught your unstable energy trace along the outer edge of the fourth dimensional interface.  It looked as if you were going to fly beyond and dissipate in the Temporal Sea. You were lucky."

The man? has a huge, bald head, wide eyes, and a shiny silver bodysuit.  You're sitting on a platform table high which hums underneath you.  The room is largely dark.

"I see you are one of the new Infiltrator mods. Excellent. Have you instructions on captureing the nearby village?  Its full of disgusting unmodified Humans."

Pull laser pistol in one hand, 9mm pistol in the other. Aim one at one guy, the other at another.

"Um, excuse me, I AM a disgusting unmodified human!!! Now shut yer traps before I shut them for you!!!!"

"How is this possible?" Wails the first one.  A door slides in the back of the room, and you see the other, very dimly ducking out.

Shaking, Xor Receiver raises his hands.

"Now, would you mind telling me where I'm at?"

"You are in 1982 on a personal transit pad aboard a base jump scout of the Xor Totality.

"That tells me NOTHING!!!!!! Try again, or I'll show you if there's an afterlife!!!!"

I'm losing it here. My gun is shaking.

In reply to JohnA1nut (msg # 9):

"There's no afterlife! WHat do you want to know?"  He screams back at you.

Screw this, this guy is getting on my nerves.

"Well, how about I show you if there's an afterlife?"

SHOOT HIM!!!! A LOT!!!!!!!

So what's around me? Where am I? Anything usable?

Blammm. Blamm. Zap.

He crumples up, and falls.  Once down, he glows pale green, and then dissapears.

Hopping off the table yields a substantial spark to your foot as you leap down.  It leaves your leg tingling.

The floor is silvery metal. The wall is dark green.

There is a door behind you labelled 'Pilot Chamber', and one to your left labelled 'Storage', and one to the back the other one ducked out.  Its labelled 'pod A'.

That way. It's obviously a safe way to go. Find him and beat some information out of him.

The next room is like a barracks, or hospital wing.  A low arched ceiling of brushed aluminum, dark green walls, and metal floor hold several dozen tubes held above the floor by metal braces.  Inside each tube is a vaguely  man-shaped object of white soup.

A hand comes up from beyond the furthest one, and a bolt of twisting, turning energy zaps out.  Its sure to miss you, but then it breaks into four seperate zaps about a foot in distance from the furthest to the furthest.

One hits you in the left bicep.  Its a burning pain, and then that is gone.  You glance down and see that a hole in your jacket kevlar, and flesh has been simply disintegrated. Luckily it was only a flesh wound.  You can survive without a couple teaspoons of bicep muscle easily enough, especially as it appears self-cauterizing.

Okay, screw this. Time to start destroying things. You've seen Rambo First Blood part 2? At the end when he walks into the computer room with the M-60 and just starts blasting all their computer equipment? Yeah, that's me. Except I'm using an AK-47.

Explosive shotgun shells on anything the bullets don't take out. I'll teach these freaks to blast a hole in my arm!!!!!!

Sparks fly, shattered bits of metal spin and bend, and bolts of lightning arc about the room as you smash the room.  The enemy stands, and tries to fire, but you blast him down with two shots.

He glows, and then dissappears.

The room is destroyed, and its filling up with nasty smoke.

Now it's time to go. Find my gear, find more ammo, reload the beast.

Direction of scriff?
