*runs to the Valkyrie with a strange device in his hands*

There was one last thing I needed to grab. But we need to go, now! That Queen could destroy this aircraft, and we aren't armed to kill her!

*rocket blows the Queen's head off*
You were saying?
*takes the device from 2bj1*
You'll excuse me if I don't quite trust your motives yet.

*The valkyrie halts in midair and begins extending its grappling hooks*

Not so fast. I want that beastie. Would make a nice model for bioengineered foot soldiers.

...Oh, feth.

*Drop Sentinels still on the ground incinerate the Queen's Corpse, rendering it to ash*
How about feth no, and feth you? Friggin' AI

*The Drop Sentinals begin twitching and spasming, and then fall over and go dead*

How about feth you.

*eyes flash red*

Today's thieving leads to tomorrow's anarchy.

*grabs device back and eyes return to normal*

My apologies, Wey-Yu had installed security measures into their androids. Certain events trigger them, and I can't do much to stop them. As for this device, it's Yautja of origin, much like the rest of the artifacts we had. This one, unlike the others, wasn't able to be decrypted as for what it's exact purpose is. One thing we did notice was that xenomorphs go into a hypo aggressive state when brought near to it, which is another reason why they had to be kept under cryo.

So you're bringing a potentially dangerous artifact back to the Room and you expect us to just "deal" with it.
Your makers weren't that bright were they?
*sits down and begins grumbling*

Would you rather it be left behind so any old fool could grab it when the xenomorphs aren't looking? Or for the xenomorphs themselves to get ahold of it? I thought not. I'd have preferred to have gotten more artifacts reclaimed, but I'm happy with just this one and the survivor. Which I thank you for helping me get. I'm sure whoever it is behind the suit will be happy as well.

No, I wouldn't want that, but that doesn't mean I like the idea of it just sitting around in the room. If there's one thing I learned in my time in the Guard it's that YOU DON'T TOUCH THE ALIEN ARTIFACTS. The last time I did the Necrons attacked.
*sighs*
*Valkyrie lands back in the Room and heads back into Orbit*
*heads back to the Guard Barracks to lie down*

It wouldn't be lying around. I have you lot to guard it, which you seem capable enough to do. Unless I overestimated you all, that is?

Poor big man with small head... you suffer from low poly count

*bursts into the room with minigun spun up*
HIDE COWARDS!
*pauses*
*face palms*
Where did I go so wrong? I always think this is Blu base.
*sighs and shakes his head*

OOC:
Sorry I keep changing, got bored with the drop trooper. I try to change every so often to keep things fresh, I'll try to have a little more warning next time*

OOC: Copy my icon and we can start to assimilate all of dakka

BIC: Blue Base? No, there is only black and white.

Here, guard this.

*hands Heavy the device*

It's very important, and could lead to many people dying if you don't take care of it. You look like a better choice to guard it than I am.

OOC: Don't worry about it. Surprises aren't always a bad thing. Plus I was switching to and from the Predator without warning as well, so you're not alone.

*shrugs and pockets the device*
So, what happens now?

Not sure. More xenomorphs could have followed us here, but that isn't how they act instinctively. After such a beating, they're likely to be regrouping and looking for hosts for chest bursters so they can expand their nest.

Pawn moves to H4*

*looks confused*
What is little baby man saying? *points to TS*

Knight moves to H3

*sucker punches TS across the room*
YOU! I DO NOT FORGET!

*Walks up to heavy and pokes him*

Hello! Who are you?

You took my pawn!

Pawn moves to G4

I AM HEAVY WEAPONS GUY, AND THIS *holds up Minigun*
IS MY WEAPON.
*to Verviedi*
YOU ARE SO SMALL, IS FUNNY TO ME!

OOC: In reality, I am actually taller and broader than you... and stronger... and faster...

*Tentatively reaches out to touch the minigun*

How about we do a swap?

*Disappears into a weapons closet, and comes out pushing a Burstcannon in a wheelbarrow*

OOC: He was talking to Verviedi.

*smacks Verviedi's hand away from Minigun*
Shh. Sasha is asleep
*points to minigun*

[Wanders back into room, covered in bits of tree, alien drool and the remains of a shredded parachute]
Thank you so much for pushing me out of a plane and leaving me there. Do you know how hard it is to walk home with short term memory loss?

... [Looks around] Oh hey, when did we get back here?

*Steps over to BC sheepishly, leaving the Burstcannon in front of WK*

...Sorry about that. Seems that the Verviedi Entity didn't want us to stick around.

I think it's time for you to check out the interior of the infirmary I built earlier.

*carefully guides BC to a hospital bed*

Don't worry. You have my guarantees that you won't be undergoing any surgery or any operations.

*is conga dancing around the room*
VERY GOOD!
