Or if we could find some pretty green smoke ala The Rock or MW2.

goog idea, and it was flares not smoke, all we need to do is find a sky scraper and run up the stairs, not take the elevator, in a dramatic slow motion fumbleing the flares while bashing zombies away and burst through the door with them lit to have the jet roar overhead,l maby get a wave from the pilot to.

BTW did he even mention if it was a nuke or not?

In Silvers "event" concerning the bomber,there was never any mention of the Payload that was being transported,however...the executive who green lights the mission does make the statement " May God have mercy on our souls.",which IMO would indicate a whole lot of BOOM is headed for the city.

Now,in an RP I did,Tombstone states that the bombs could perhaps be Nukes or Neutron or any of a dozen types of "City killers",but never specifies exactly what...as he doesn't know any more than a bomber is on the way.

Fitzz's post isn't showing.

Tombstone ran down the steps out to the front of the house,opening the garage door as he went,he quickly pulled the truck into the garage,jumped out and closed the bay door.

" There" the biker thought " At least we won't have to fight a mob of those fething things to get to the truck now."

He glanced around the garage at the various items Shadow,for one reason or another didn't add to the Battle Bus.

On one work bench sat a .50 caliber machine gun,Tombstone erupted into a gail of laughter " My god." he said " It's like a fething candy store."

The biker opened the tailgate of the truck,shoving a few bags of supplies aside,he slid in to the rear camper,he glanced at the compartments inner roof and smiled...a small sun roof was cut into the top,a silly luxury item...made no sense at all,other than the trucks previous owner had more money than brains...but now,it would come in quite handy.

In less than a half hour,Tombstone had mounted the .50 cal to an armature and bolted it to the roof of the camper,now all one had to do is stand in the rear bed,pop through the sun roof and that person would have access to the .50 cal.

The Biker turned,noticing Keira and Daisy standing in the garage admiring his handy work.

" Not exactly a Battle bus" the biker said " But it will give us a bit more fire power out there."

Keira spoke up " It's a good idea."

Tombstone smiled.

" I contacted Shadow again." Daisy said " He's still on the run..hasn't been able to circle back and retrieve Halon or the rest."

Tombstone nodded..." Ok,we need a few crates of .50 cal from down in the bunker" the biker paused " I'm going to go radio Shadow again and attempt to coordinate a rendezvous."

The biker lept from the truck and rushed back into the house,the two women close behind him.

It's the lag my friend,it's quickly becoming one giant pain in the keister.

K looked around inside the Hospital, the once vibrant hospital white walls were now crimson red, with small amounts of wall still untouched by the splattering. He still remembered his way around the hospital.

"Why don't we check out the security room?" K said to the others. Thinking that he could check through the security tapes to find out what happened to the doctor.

However, the security room was not marked on the map or recorded on the blueprints of the hospital so it would be difficult to find. The hospital did have intercoms incase of an emergancy, which all lead to the security room. However, the chances of anyone being there anymore were rather slim. K was pondering where to look first when suddenly he heard a buzzing sound

"HeY, i ThInK i'M wInNiNg!!!" yelled Bonzo mashing the button on an intercom.

"Yes Mr Clown, you certainly have!" came a voice from the intercom.

"OhHhH wHaT dId I wIn?"

"If I told you now, it would ruin the surprize, now wouldn't it?"

"A sUrPrIzE? i LuRvE sUrPrIzEs!"

"Yes, well, I'm sure K can lead you to it, with my help."

K looked up at the intercom.

"K, the combination is up, down, left right, up down down left."

K immediately started walking down the hallway.

buzz

"Wait, how do we know we can trust you?" halon asked into the intercom.

"Well, lets just say, I'm the Doctor!"

Drk_Oblitr8r wrote:"Well, lets just say, I'm the Doctor!"

OOC:Ohh, and the voice sounds like Liam Neeson, if you were wondering.

Who? -goes and looks up person-

Got ya - deep voice.

Tombstone ran down the stairs leading into the bunker,he glanced around once more at the amazing amount of supplies Shadow had accumulated.

"Fething Shame we don't have an 18 wheeler" The biker thought " We could have a mobile ammo dump."

Daisy spoke from behind him, " Hey..I bet these would be useful."

Tombstone turned to see what she had found.

In her hands the young woman had a couple of tactical radio/walkie talkies.

Tombstone grinned " They sure will hun,we can use 'em to keep in contact with Shadow when we are mobile."

" Here's some crates labeled .50 caliber" Keira said staring at a large stack of metal containers.

" Feth yeah" Tombstone said " Ok lets get some up stairs and into the truck..."

Daisy grabbed a case of ammo,dragging it up the stairs quickly.

Keira turned to Tombstone " What about Shadow?" she said.

" I'm going to radio him right now" The biker said " Set up a spot to attempt to meet..."

Keira nodded,she then grabbed a case of ammo for the .50 cal and headed up the stairs as well.

The biker grabbed two cases " Feth those things were heavy!" he thought as he headed for the stairs.

As he rushed into the front room,Daisy passed him on the way back to the bunker..." Hun,what happened to Jennifer?" she asked.

" Holy feth!" the biker exclaimed,he hadn't seen the princess in hours..." Check upstairs..see if she's up there."

Daisy nodded,drawing her pistol.

" You gonna shoot her if you find her?" Tombstone grinned.

" After what happened to Keira in the truck" Daisy said " I'm not taking chances",the young woman bounded up the stairs.

The biker called up behind her " Be careful" ,he rushed to the truck packing the ammo crates in with the rest of their supplies.

" Ok..Got to contact Shadow again" he said to Keira.

" we need to do it quick" Keira said,she had strapped on a shoulder holster and was busy loading the pistols magazine. " we have to get moving."

Tombstone nodded, " Yea,we do..c'mon lets try Shadow again."

The two ran back towards the stairs....

As Keira ran up the stairs after the biker, she made the mistake of glancing in the mirror. The ghoul had pulled out more of her hair than she had thought, and there was an ugly bald patch on the side of her head. She felt no love for her hair any more, and either way, it was unsafe having it as long as it was.

"I'll be back in 5 minutes, dont leave without me!"

She then went back down into the bunker. A mirror and a pair of scissors and a shaver were found next to a box that was labelled 'miscellaneous weapons'.

Keira ran back to the mirror, and began to cut her hair. She cringed as the first lump of hair fell fromh er shoulders, but after that, it became easy, and soon, she had cut her hair to a single inch long. Keira brushed her hand through her now short hair. It felt weird, but she knew it was necessary. No more pussying about.

Keira then grabbed up a tactical harness, and strapped her MP5 onto it. She grabbed up a couple more clips, and stuck them into her backpack.

"Now, Im going for a big gun."

Her eyes alighted on a barett.

"No, that's almost as big as me."

She instead looked for something more realistic, and ended up grabbing a 12 gauge with half the barrel sawn off. Keira pumped it experimentally, then, apparently satisfied, she grabbed up a case of ammo, and ran up the stairs to meet up with the others...

Jennifer was about halfway through the movie when she heard daisy open the door, her pistol heald out infront of her. she stood up from the couch and daisy jumped back in surprise.

"easy there daisy, you look like your gonna shoot me" she said

"well, we hadn't seen you in ages and tombs sent me to look for you"

"I wasn't exactly hidding, why the rush now"

"the army's gonna nuke the city, we gotta get outta here"

"oh, frack...give me a minute"

Jennifer turned off the TV and rushed out of the room charging up the stairs and into the room with the minigun, she grabbed her bag and picked up her rifle slinging it over her shoulder. Checking all her guns were loaded. she could now hear Tombstone in one of the other rooms, trying to call shadow over the radio. She opend the door and he glanced round giving her a little nod.

OOC: how I visulise tombstone

"go"? The house is six miles out from the city.. so unless they actually nuke the city, we should all be fine.. even if they do nuke it, we'll still all be dead.

OOC: Yes,but it's still two plus hours til "drop time"...so we could conceivably put another 150-200 miles of distance between us and the city,wich would be far enough if to be "safe" even if the bomber dumps out a nuke.

I don't want to abandon the fortress,but I don't want to get flash fried sitting in it.

@ Ninja...I like your version of Tombstone.

Tombstone glanced up,seeing Jennifer at the door,he nodded," Looks like were gonna be on the road soon Princess" he said.

The biker returned his attention to the radio, " Shadow come in my man, over."

Nothing.

" Tombstone calling Shadow,come back...over." The biker called.

" Tomb..(STATIC)...the fortress.. (STATIC)...attempting to get..(STATIC)...will contact you in ..(STATIC)..Do you copy..(HIGH PITCHED WHINE)..."Came the reply.

" Mother Feth" Tombstone whispered to himself keying the mic " Shadow say again...your transmission was garbled...please repeat..over."

From the corner of his eye,the biker saw an unfamiliar (or so he thought) person enter the room,he jumped and drew his weapon.

Keira ducked quickly shouting " Wait..it's me."

She peeked up from behind the bed.

" Holy gak!" Tombstone said,grinning a bit " You startled the feth out of me...didn't make you with the new haircut."

Keira nodded " After the truck incident..it seemed logical."

Tombstone nodded " The look works for you Britney" he grinned.

Keira rolled her eyes,but smiled a small smile " Feth you...you should cut yours to..dirty long hair."

" No time for a beauty treatment" The biker said " I got to try to raise Shadow."...

"While I do appreciate the Dr. Who reference, I still don't believe you to be anything good if you managed to survive this long in the city." Halon began "Why should we believe you?".

"Why should I trust you?" the Doctor responded "I know K, but I don't know you and how could you survive so long if you were a good guy?".

Halon had been logic slapped and he didn't like it too much.

"Good point." Halon said as he slowly let his finger leave the intercom button and began following K.

Right, so we chain ourselves to the fortress, and protest. Then Silver will have no choice but to put the bomb range at "one city and five miles".

Bonzo, looking quizzically at the button pronounced. "iT MusT bE MaGiC, No OtHEr WaY Of LooKiNG aT It, Now INTO THE BATCAVE!"

He then followed the rest of the troop into the building to discover more about this mysterious 'Doctor'.

OOC - I'll let someone else RP the meeting as I think you guys have a better idea of who the Doctor character is supposed to be. I'll RP after we've met him. ^^

OOC: I know it seems I keep getting off track, but I feel this is important. And I actually meant to finish the flash back, but I figure it's 2:30am, I'll finish it later

K indeed had known exactly what he meant, but not the importance of it.

~~~FLASH BACK~~~
2 months ago...

K was staring into space, as he had done since he woke up an hour ago. He couldn't feel his arm anymore, and would not look to see if it was ok.

He knew it wasn't.

He knew that he didn't have any reason to live anymore. His chess career was over, he lost his arm, and he was now orphaned. There wasn't a point to trying. He amused himself that he was only a fraction of the man he once was, but only for a moment, as the pain of this revelation set in. The nurses didn't know what to do for him, he hadn't spoken a word since the accident. Most stopped worrying about him when the doctors found out that he wasn't speaking on purpose, he was choosing to say nothing.

He sat there, in his imperfect silence. He could hear people around him, but none of their chatter, their pains... their screams... really made it to him. They were all white noise of the orchestral sympthony inside his head, stuck on an ostinato between the strings, cellos and pianos, playing the same 3 notes over and over.

His beautiful hell drowned out the world...

Yet, there was one man, who knew how the song was supposed to continue.

Just outside the open door to K's room

"Yeah! Sure. Fine, whatever! The kids a freak, there's nothing wrong with him, yet he won't talk to me. He's all yours"

"How can you be so disrespectful to your patients! They rely on you to have their best interests at heart, and you clearly don't!"

"And you do? I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker! If the kid wants to give up, then you should just let him! Besides, treating him won't bring him back, and you know it!" he storms off.

The Doctor enters the room.

"I'm guessing you heard all that, didn't you Kevin? I'm appauled he even has a job as a doctor. A doctor is supposed to CARE for his patients!" the Doctor loudly proclaimed, hoping the other doctor can hear him.

"..." K hadn't moved

The Doctor sits next to K

"Listen, I'm going to do what I can to help you through this, but I need you to bear with me. I'm still getting to know you, so I might seem alittle odd at the beginning, but I indeed am helping."

"..."

"Thats the spirit! So is there anything you want to do?"

"..."

"That's an excellant idea! We shall play chess then!"

"... ... ..!"

The Doctor pulls out a chess board and sets it up.

"Now, do you want to go first, or shall I?"

"... ..."

"Ok then I'll go first." The Doctor moves his pawn on the far left up two spaces "Now, it's your turn"

"..." K doesn't even look at it.

"Ohhh, that's right, I forgot something, I'll be back in a moment, ok?"

The Doctor leaves the room, and K is left alone with the chess game. The Doctor later comes back with a tape player, to see that K had moved the pawn on the opposite side as the Doctor had done before he left.

"Hmmm" The Doctor then moves the same pawn up, then turns around to set the tape player up. The Doctor turns around to see that, yet again, K has mirrored his move. The Doctor makes his move again, then presses play on the tape player and it starts to play Für Elise. The game continues on for awhile, with K only moving his pieces when the Doctor wasn't looking. In the end, K soundly wins.

"Well, I've got to move on to other patients now, I'll come back later, ok?"

"..."

"Ohh, did you want me to leave the music on?"

"...K"

The wild speculation entertains me

NO WE'RE NOT!

Think about it, as my devious mind is (which is not from a role-play beneficial(sp?) point of view) - if we don't move, then Silver won't nuke us, as it'd be too much of a shame to end it now.


But, from a role-play beneficial PoV, Shadow can just get back, ask his mate what bomb it is, and then Silver can decide to ruin/make our plans.

The bomber neatly split the air around it. All of its stealth systems were engaged, even though the enemy had no way of detecting it - the zombies had no anti-air missiles, no radar stations... so far they had not even shown the ability to even move at more than a slow trot.

The pilot took one last look at his instruments as they glowed softly in the dimly lit cockpit before beginning the weapon release checklist...

OOC :..Of course,Silver could always vaporize half of us..see..we never should have started those Enola Gay references.

OOC: Oh well,in for a penny in for a pound.

BIC:

Tombstone continued to attempt to raise Shadow on the radio.

" Shadow!!" the biker bellowed " Please repeat last transmission..come back..over!!"

" Holy feth!!" Daisy cried.

Tombstone quickly glanced up,staring at the young woman,who was looking out of the window with the Gatling gun.

" What is it!!" Tombstone shouted.

Daisy turned,and Tombstone could see the fear in her eyes " The things..zombies..they're everyplace."

Tombstone rushed to the window,the field in front of the house was teaming with ghouls,daisy and Tombstone both recoiled as a small group of the zombies triggered one of Shadows traps.

The explosion was tremendous,over a dozen of the walking dead were vaporized instantly,dozens more were ripped apart,heads,arms,legs and internal organs sailed through the air.

And still they came,dragging entrails behind them,slavering and moaning...that sound...like hell on earth.

" What the feth are we going to do!" Daisy said " We can't drive through that many of them!"

" Feth" Tombstone growled " Gun 'em down girl !!"

Daisy snatched up the AR-15 she had practiced taking head shots with earlier,slapped a fresh magazine in and yanked a round into the breach.

She fired round after round,slowly taking aim on each successive ghoul,brain and bone flew through the air as she loosed round after round with deadly accuracy.

Keira rushed into the room " Those fething things are all over the place...we're stuck inside."

Tombstone nodded, " We're gonna have to thin 'em down...pick a window..go for the head shot,single fire..don't rock-n-roll,it's a waste of ammo."

Keira rushed to a window,snatching up a Kalashnikov AK-47 as she went,she checked to make sure the weapon was on single shot,clicked off the safety,threw open the window and fired,the recoil kicked hard,but she braced herself and fired again,,dropping an advancing ghoul.

Tombstone jumped to the Gatling gun,instead of spraying the oncoming horde,he focused on sighting on the heads and released short controlled burst,vaporizing multiple zombie skulls at a go.

The biker gritted his teeth " Damn it Shadow..where are you!!?" he growled looking at the radio....

But the pilot forgot that Halon had super awesome mega rockets and the next sound the pilot heard were his klaxons going off alerting him of a missile lock. The rocket impacted with the bomber, shredding it to pieces as nanobots dismanteled the aircraft. The pilot had ran to the back of the plane for he knew he must still carry out his mission

Stupid youtube thing won't work.

And sorry, but nothing outside of the quote actually happened.

[youtube][/youtube]

What happened to 2+ hours before bombing?/we need an event./editedagain no we don't, we've got two in-game hours (right??) to save each other.. guess that's down to me, and I will, but I'm just really busy with school ATM.. so maybe tonight or something.. RP pause button if y'all don't mind for a bit.

OOC: Hmmm,seems were a bit stuck,if ghosty or Ninja would care to throw in some in "fortress" RP that would be cool.

How did you get the video to work? I tell you, something doesn't like me very much.

I'll do some RP trickery soon (tonight or later), but first I really could do with Halon/Not_u/GUO moving on the hospitol story, finding this doc and then getting outside to find Shadow has disappeared.
