[Chapter 1] Iron Lords of Jupiter

[groll]"It's not getting out that's hard," Bone-Mender repleid, "it's getting down the 100 foot heavily guarded drop outside the only door.

"We could try hiding in some rubbish on the storage level and wait for them to take it out of the tower, I suppose."[/groll]

 

[Vaxalon]

(They don't come and take away rubbish; Bone-Mender dumps it off the top floor landing into a midden at the base of the tower. A cart comes to scrape up the pile once every two weeks.)

Bone-Mender thought long and hard, trying to come up with anything he could think of to help them escape...

OOC: Am I missing something? Or is it supposed to be this hard?

OOC: Am I missing something? Or is it supposed to be this hard?

OOC: That's what I was thinking

Morguk ignores the visio screen and walks over to the contraption that the mutants brought with them. What is this thing? Can it help us? Do I have time to fix it or should I focus on making weapons, if I have the time? They're going to be here any minute!

 

[Vaxalon]

Perhaps you should be asking yourselves, "How can I buy us enough time to 1> Teach the barbarians how to speak properly and 2> Build devices that can help us escape and 3> Examine the technology the barbarians brought with them?"

OOC: Sorry about the delay in posting. Went out of town unexpectedly for the weekend and just got back.

[groll] "I've got a cunning plan," [/groll] Morguk says quietly as he walks over to the veth's body with Bone-Mender. [groll] "Help me prop his body up on this podium... Now, I'm going to pretend to be the Master's voice, you make sure to keep his back to the visio screen when you turn it on... What language did he speak to the Iron Lords in - Baser, Ta'Veth, Lordly Speech, what?... Just play along and I'll take care of the rest, hopefully this will work... Whatever you do, try to keep the screen off of the veth's body as much as possible and on you. We definitely don't want them thinking he is dead..."['groll]

Once the visio screen is on, Morguk shouts in a ragged voice from offscreen [in the appropriate language], "Prisoner Aurthahz, reporting. Sorry for the delay, Third-Rank Command Assistant. It appears we have had a breach from the area we have been monitoring. I am trying to contain the rupture, and I unfortunately must apply all of effort and concentration to doing so. I must warn you, Third-Rank Command Assistant, that there is a severe risk of contamination involved. It would be best to only put the prisoners at risk as we are expendable to the Grey Empire, whereas any Iron Lord is not. I will report again once the situation is under control. Until then, pull all personnel back to a safe distance. Prisoner Aurthahz signing out." Morguk doesn't wait for the other marikon to answer before giving Bone-Mender the signal to cut-off the visio screen.

 

[garyh]

[Groll]"I think that might have worked,"[/Groll] Bone-Mender said to Morguk.

 

[Vaxalon]

The Assistant seems a bit confused. "A breach? What? What kind of... alright... well, let us know when you have it under control."

Aurthahz seems to be alive... just barely.

Alejandro is going to take a look at his motorcycle, and (even though it is still working) fix any minor damage.

OOC: we might be able to use the motorcycle to jump off of the landing ramp on to another building. Alejandro wouldn't know this though, so unless one of the aliens (who have seen the landing area) figures out what the motorcycle does, I cant just try the jump, since Alejandro hasn't seen outside of the building

 

[Vaxalon]

Alejandro finds that he will need some tools to bang the motorcycle into shape again, but he shouldn't need any spare parts. It just needs to have some dents banged out and some adjustments made here and there... he finds some tools in the nearby work area that will do the job.
