OOC Derp.

*Still falling*
It's going to be a while, it's a multi-kilometer drop.
Why are you screaming?
*Fires first thruster burst to slow down*

*Holds onto V really tightly*

BECAUSE YOU JUMPED OUT OF THE FETHING ROOM WITH ME WITHOUT ASKING ME!

*Thinks*

This ain't actually that bad. Gives me time to rest...

*Rests head on Verviedi*

Why couldn't you be Yarrick...

*Fires second thruster burst*
I'm afraid I had to take decisive action. I apologise for the shock.
*Notices Vanden's cuddling*
...I'll allow it.

Your damn right you'll allow it...

*Holds hand over spider bite*

*Still poisoned*

*Slows breathing purposefully*

*Closes eyes and holds V tighter, imagining hes Yarrick*

Final burn in thirty seconds. Just a heads up.
*Looks relatively relaxed for a person that's falling at close to terminal velocity*
Yarrick will follow us. I just need to get the catch pad set up.

*Nods*

*Readies self*

*Waits for last burn*

*is falling beside Vanden in a lawn chair*
Are we there yet?

*Puts up finger at WK*

*looks down at the falling V, Vanden, and WK*

Oh dear. I don't believe I can manage this. I have an excessive knowledge on various alien forms, which continues to grow at an exponential rate, but this isn't the type of field work I'm designed for.

*grins at Vanden*
Rude.

*Over vox to 2BJ*

Just jump, even if you miss and die, it'll be a quicker death than what the spiders'll give you.

*Looks at WK*

Aren't you meant to be with your wife? She was looking forward to it a lot.

*Activates thrusters on armour*

*Lands on ground safely*

*Stands up straight*

*Eyes roll back into head*

*Fall's down*

*Drills through wall next to Vanden, V and WK*

YOU GUYS LEFT ME AGAIN, TWO TIMES, TWO TIMES HOW EASY AM I TO FORGET I'M AND 40 FOOT LIZARD.

Oh no.

I'm going down.

*Lands face first onto floor, still poisoned*

Well. I was going to use magic and open a door on a lower level near the bridges.... But hey jump several thousand metres....

* Shakes dust off*
*gives antidote to zerg and a adapted healing accelerant *
Easy big guy, I was going to open the door larger and just make you arrive down here.

Ok, everyone here? Check.
Right, ok, so we have to go east to bridges, mutants all been distracted west, and north west. Move out quickly and quiet.

*wk gets text inviting to high lords ball from marla*

*crashes down next to Vanden, covered in dead spiders*

The flying ones broke my fall. My legs did too.

*looks down at growing pool of a white liquid*

Oh dear.

*shuts down*

[Steps out of a nearby door with Yarrick, and both run to catch Vanden before she hit the ground] Thought I said no sleeping. [Attempts a stern face]

[Sees confused expressions] Elevator.

*Suit is rather severely scorched from using RCS thrusters intended for space operations in-atmosphere*
There was a fething elevator?
*Loses all sense of balance and falls over*

Umm yes, this building has a marked working elavvator...
I also made a magic door that would of got you here...
I thought you where the tach brains?
*points to sign saying elavator*

*oh fall... Repairo.....* begins to repair synthetic human legs*

Ok, ya know... *points to sign saying lindisfarne, and a direction*
Now please say you saw that..

*facepalms*
And people say I'M the stupid one....

Yes-yes, I saw the sign.
*Increases tint of visor to hide embarassment*

*eyes flickered back on*
*slowly stands back up on his newly repaired legs*

My thanks, Mr. Voldemort. Now, where are we off to next?

Well that old church is that way..


*points to a sign for it. *
Just past that bridge, and the tunnel after that for one stop on a ainciant sub way. May be a tad dangerous but if we are quick and quiet we can avoid the mutants and cross the plains and be in cover before they notice.

So everyone ready to go?
One tip, the beings here dwell always in the dark, they have a fear of light and fire above all things. Death they not but they do fear fire. A flamer blast, or thermal weapons are going to be a good force multiplier.

You learn the odd thing over the centuries. The mutants this deep are highly devolved kin of mutants, such mutants of a mutant and lack of ever seeing daylight has made a general dislike into a primal fear.

I am ready to go.
*Checks RCS fuel and ammunition*

Ok. That's one ready to go.

*checks DMR's ammo and pulls out a flashlight and tapes it to the side of the rifle*

I left my homemade flamethrower... somewhere. I don't recall where. It's a shame really, it would have made quite the companion.

Flamer.... That would be ideal....

Poisons aren't really my area, but I can do pain-relief... [BC's eyes glow, and he puts hands lightly on Vanden's shoulders] [Amelia's lesser wounds heal near instantly, and the pain is lessened in the major ones]
That'll do until we can- [Goes cross-eyed and drops to ground in a ball] You didn't have to kick me in the boys...

*Growls at Perron*

Shoo you...

*Struggles to get to feet*

*Eventually does*

Ow.

*Looks at wounds and sees they're significantly healed*

Hrmph...

*Stretches arm down to Perron and helps him up*

Thanks

I think you kicked them back in again. [BC staggers to feet] S-so, onwards, then. [Pulls out power sword and wanders towards where Jhe pointed]

[Yarrick looks relieved and keeps pace with Vanden]

*follows after BC*

This place is remarkable, you know. I've spent so much time gathering information from places across the galaxy, when we had some much beneath our noses the entire time. Though the spiders could be a little less of a nuisance.
