[Game Thread] Wherein Everything Goes Kablooey

[The Smarter Pie]

 

Well now's the time to get noticed! What can you get on that thing? Jup removes himself from the bar and focuses on the Alak.

Klikam: "Well now's the time to get noticed! What can you get on that thing?" You can now read each other's spoiler buttons.

[hobocommando]

 

Well I'm currently linked on the emergency channel transmitting communications between officers. Got any ideas? Klikam fiddles with his communicator a bit and waits for a consensus.

Freaking out now, She starts banging on the walls. Unable to contain her emotions, she can feel herself losing control of her focus. WHAT'S GOIN' ON?! she shouts over the announcement. DAMMIT! Something is up. That shake.... then the lockdown. This is bigger than me isn't it?! This is... Sabotauge! Dammit, great job. I finally make a move and I wind up in a place about to blow up, or worse! Get Hijacked. Time to find a way outta here... Gotta find a way to get out... Lilith looks for any sort of vent duct in the area that might be still open to access. Attempting to regain control of her reeling mind, she blanks out her thoughts in case anyone is reading them.

All: The station gives another shake, this time much more localized, seeming to emanate from somewhere below your feet.

 

The shaking of the station messes up your dramatic escape, sending you falling down into the vents. Not the most graceful of landings, but you're aware enough to quickly roll out of the way when the floor panel decides to come down after you. It finishes its adventure with a *kerthungawngbadung*. You're not sure about its choice of onomatopoeias, but at least it didn't land on you.

 

You throw the chicken up a good 7 feet, only for the station to shift, moving you away from the chicken-ball. It goes *splat*, with a sound similar to but not entirely like chicken hitting metal.

 

Looking around, you see a Selaani crawling down into the floor through a removed floor panel, about 30 feet closer to the lockdown door. Right, right, generally they have maintenance shafts(they call them vents, but they're much bigger than that). Lots of electrical and hydraulic nonsense down there, but at least it's a way out of the silly lockdown. The hole by the Selaani seems available, though with a bit of searching you might be able to find one that won't attract as much attention.

Perception 14+1

Emergency channel? We have to know whats going on outside. And if we're really trapped or not.

[hobocommando]

 

@Jup: Well I'll see what I can make out. Up to this point all I know is that there has been need to open fire.

@Frag:I'm going to listen to the communicator to see what I can pick up.

With dinged-up elbows... Six of them... Things are going right to pot. So when peoples' voices ring from behind him in a way he can't quite make out he naturally enough assumes they're sending shivrats in after him to flush him out. So, with a skitter-thump-skitter-thump he ambles along until he spies his home sector through a grate. Turning around a corner to one of the loose grates he usually uses, Sennesel makes it to his room's door after making sure he isn't too obvious about coming out of the ducts or dusting the cobwebs off.

[Fragmaster01]

 

Ooh, they're having great fun. Lots of dissonant chatter about shooting, and people shooting back, and stupid psions bending the bullets so they don't get shot in the head.
"Fighters, two more concussor missiles inbound!" Nifty, this is turning out to be quite an action scene, they've even got ships shooting at things. Now, what were concussor missiles again? Oh yeah, those ones with the sonic pulses: they wreck the inside of whatever they hit while leaving the hull mostly intact...
Uh oh.

 

This is just great, this vent's collapsed ahead. Looks like it got squished into a nice lump. You COULD squeeze through, but if anything else messes up down here, you might find yourself stuck. Although, given the voices upstairs, perhaps heading back isn't the right way...

OOC Needs an Escape Artist check. You judge it about 15, but there's the possibility of it getting worse.

[hobocommando]

 

With a glance to the ground and then back up to his new accomplice with a deathly serious look They're firing concussor missiles...... With a brief pause at the floor again No. **** this! All officers on this channel please respond! This is Officer Klikam who was recently transfered here and currently in the lockdown area. If they are firing concussive shots then these civ's are only going to get hurt more. Please advise!

[Fragmaster01]

 

"We can't reach you right now, you'll have to...

All save Sennesel: You get a lovely image of the ground rippling beneath your feet, as the station gives a mighty wiggle, then gives up.

OOC Reflex save to avoid bad things, you want a 14. EDIT: Just rolled for everyone, is faster and gets us to adventure sooner.

Doing a fair amount of twisting and turning to get through the twisted portion of the ducts, the Selaani finally tries to get through to his room and get the rest of his items. He's going to have to find another way to the escape pods or to hitchhike on a departing shuttle. Now where's the hangar from here?...

[Fragmaster01]

 

The station gives an odd lurch, then you watch as the whole of the place around you gives a dramatic ripple. Unfortunately for you, steel is not water, and when the rippling stops, it's clamped down nicely above your lower legs. You have an odd reminiscence of one poor Selaan who tried to use a tire swing, only to become hopelessly stuck(she was swung around by mean children until someone got her free).
Still, you're a squirmy guy, perhaps it's not too hopeless...

OOC Luck roll 7(sadness). Needs another DC15 Escape Artist check.

 

The ground beneath your feet decides to retire, and you go woosh towards a ground underground. Only about 2 wiggles tall, but it's still a nice height. You dramatically curl into a ball and roll out into a rather crinkly looking metal passageway under the normal wiggleboards. There's a path going that-a-way, a path going anti-that-a-way, and an adorable little Vor trying to decide whether to scream or pull himself back up to ground ground. Someone saves him the trouble and yanks him up, before they lead into their synchronized running and screaming routine.
A chicken-ball falls onto your head with a *splort*

 

The ground gives a lovely ripple, and panels proceed to fall off their supports, or go flipping into the air. Silly sonic weapons and their destroying of structural integrity. Jup manages to land on his feet, in the maintenance vents about 10 feet below. Klikam is not so lucky, landing with a splat on the ground, and then eating the floor panel as it decides to come falling down onto your abdomen. Still, better than the Terran who came down with you. He looks a little broken(natural 1s are bad for your spine). Sadly, it doesn't look like he's in any condition to be moved, so there's not much you can do for him.
There's a vent cover in front of you, keeping people from going section-to-section underground. Not that you couldn't break it open, but the floor panels on the other side have fallen out. Perhaps that might not be the best way to move. The vent continues on to a T intersection behind you, though you're not seeing the ladders that should be around letting people get out. Now might not be the best time to be learning about the workplace, but it doesn't look like you two have the height to get both of you out of here(perhaps lift one up, but the other would be stuck down here).

Damage Klikam takes 6 Nonlethal damage. Current HP 5/11.

 

The floor panel happily decides to crinkle beneath your feet, which isn't conducive to it staying on its supports. It does, however, *thunggggg* in a nice diagonal below you, allowing you safe landing in the station's maintenance vents. Still, it's a good 10 feet back up to ground level. Bad design ruins your plans again!
Wait, wait, this is made by people, people make things to aid them in their evil plots. Gotta be a ladder around here somewhere. Or going further down, they wouldn't suspect that from you! Either way, here isn't looking like a great place to stay. You're in a straight metal hallway, with various crinklage from whatever wrecked the floor. The lights are fritzing out, but light from above gives you a general view of the hall. Looks like you're alone, at the moment, and the hall goes on for at least 30 feet in either direction.

You squiggle out of the collapsed portion of the vents. The whole place is falling apart around you. You have a mind to speak with the manager, or whoever runs this place.

OOC Aka, the area around you took some damage. Were you lucky enough for it not to happen where you were? In this case, no.
