Epic M&M: Issue 4 (IC)

[buzzard]

"That whackjob is blasting people because there's a big bug in the room, and she has no idea how to aim, and I'm rude?!? Get a clue people. She's four suits short of a full deck." and turning directly to Dara "Look here little girl, you want to threaten me? Bring it on. I'm getting sick of your complete lack of self control. The damn Mole is less dangerous to us. Hell, you folks want to hang around with this nutcase fine, I'm tired of the aggravation." With that he storms out of the room.

"Yeah, rude much?" pipes in Dara. "Besides, I didn't even hit you, just the buffet table... oh, I'm sorry, I mean your imaginary friend. I mean, I can try again if you wanna see dangerous," she says with a grin. "I've been training quite a bit to get some oomph behind my blasts. Or I could find another frying pan."

You are not helping here Dara.

"Off the table, Hoppy!" she says, to which Hoppy chirps and jumps down off the table, plate balanced on a front leg.

Michelle looks like she is going to say something, instead she just shakes her head a little before she continues.

Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know that epic beta has been assigned a couple assignments. So the team lists will be made up by sometime this afternoon, so don't forget to check your email tonight, and before you ask Tara, no I don't think Hoppy can come along.

Michelle will follow and try to catch up to John.

You are not helping here Dara.

Dara shrugs. "Hey, at least when I talk to someone that's not here, it's actually Raisa, not some imaginary guy. And he calls me a crazy? I had pretty good aim there, too. If that icky thing hadn't been so fast, I'd have nailed it each time. And I hit Cosmo, so everything worked out fine."

"Hey!" exclaims Cosmo.

"I missed it I think," Monica says. "Can you hit him again?"

"Hey!" exclaims Cosmo.

As if in disagreement to her quality of aim, the rest of the glass sneezeguard over the buffet table collapses. If anyone could see it, they'd have seen the cause to be Straightjacket's father rolling out of the breakfast goodies and knocking it as he got up.

"Hey, would you look at that," Trailblazer says, ignoring the situation completely since it happens nearly every day in some form or another. "Hog futures are up," he states flatly as he looks through his paper.

"Hoppy is so coming," Tara complains. "You wouldn't make Pooky stay behind!"

"Hey, what's a five letter word for silence?" Trailblazer asks, looking at his crossword.

 

[Elementor]

"Off to watch more Hentai no doubt," Trailblazer says dryly to the table. Monica laughs and throws a box of Kleenex at Vince.

"I'll pass thanks. But you should be used to people passing you over by now eh, Monica." Vince just lets the box hit him and fall to the floor as he leaves.

The grasshopper flutters up and lands on a chair next to Dara, who promptly lets out a mental shriek that has all of you, Raisa and Vince included, clutching their heads.

Out in the hall Vince is dropped to his knees as the blast rips through his head. Hurrying back to see if the building is under attack, Vince sees this is just another morning at the EPIC breakfast table and continues to his room.

Once he is behind the door of his room again, Vince calls up his email and uses ARIS a bit. "ARIS, what is Jun Po's current status and location? Also, does Jun Po have any allergies or personality quirks that might have her dislike recieving flowers? If not then I would like to have 3 bouquets sent to her from me. One of tulips that has a card saying Thank you from Vincent, one of lilies with a card that says Feel better from Vincent and one of cherry blossoms with a card that says We miss you from Vincent. I will of course be paying for these from my personal funds."

"I'm sorry, Vincent. All the requested information is not available. Jun Po remains in strict isolation at Bush Memorial Hospital. However, at request of Jun Po, her personal files as well as information relating to her medical status have been sealed. Also at her request, she has been removed from the active duty roster. All visits must be scheduled with Kodiak, or in his absence, Trailblazer. Kodiak is currently in the Soviet Union with Merlin. Trailblazer is located in the Mess Hall. Delivery of flowers to the hospital can be arranged, though I cannot guarantee delivery directly to her." ARIS falls silent after delivering the information.

Back in his room, X12 gathers up what few personal belongings he has for the trip.

"ARIS, retrieve my personal training goals. Mark the electricity goal completed, and mark olfactory spatial mapping completed. I may return to it later for further enhancing, but at present the level I've attained will suffice.

The goals should now read:

• Develop blindfighting capabilities.
• Master restorative powers.
• Enhance and master resuscitation powers.

Add to this list the following goals:

• Elicit tolerance to absence of sleep.
• Apply for online university courses in biology
• Apply for online university courses in histology and anatomy
• Investigate completing medical degree, board certification, and licensing.

After that, X12 will check his Email, and then leave for the plane if nothing is there to answer.

Mimic: Johan (Powers, Feats)

Kevin takes his stuff and goes to the jet.

 

[Dalamar]

"It's 'quiet', Trailblazer", says Johan as he resumes his breakfast.

After finishing his breakfast, Johan heads back to the workshop to see if Anna or Rebound has beaten the other in their robot war.

 

[Calinon]

"It's 'quiet', Trailblazer", says Johan as he resumes his breakfast.

"Only in my wildest breakfast dreams," Trailblazer grins at his paper.

Johan is nearly to the workshop when a loud squeal like fireworks is heard, and he sees a robot streak into view, four rockets blaring after it. The rockets miss, sending up clods of dirt and concrete. The fleeing robot whirls and blasts into the air as another robot rips around the corner. The flying robot hurls three huge saw blades through the air into the top of the robot on the ground. It stops a moment, blades sticking out, then explodes in a thirty foot mushroom cloud! The blast wave sends you sprawling to the ground.

Yup, the armor is still solid.

"I got you!" Anna exclaims as she comes around the corner as well.

"Blimey, you blew it up!" Rebound exclaims, coming up to the six foot deep crater in the ground.

"I can't leave you two alone for five minutes!" Sanchez exclaims. You hadn't even noticed her behind you. She looks rather furious at the large amount of destruction inflicted on the grounds. Anna looks ready to say something when Sanchez hits a button on her belt.

"How many times have I warned you about using rockets and explosives on your rob... you put a jet pack on it!?" she says, glaring at the robot in the air. "I hope he is faster than he looks," she says as you hear an ominous clump Clump ClumP CLUMP and a giant mech rises up above the workshop, standing fully forty feet high, stepping fully over the workshop with a huge CLUMP! The flying robot beeps twice, sounding very much like a robotic "EEK!" and the robot tries to flee, only to be crushed into the ground a moment later by the mech's second foot.

"Not fast enough. I thought you two were good at this robot wars stuff?" She hits a button and her mech stalks off to the tarmac, transforming back into the EPIC Jet.

Anyone outside can have seen that, just using Johan cause he was actually heading to the workshop.

 

[Deva]

The grasshopper flutters up and lands on a chair next to Dara, who promptly lets out a mental shriek that has all of you, Raisa and Vince included, clutching their heads. Well, everyone but Johan who hears it at a much lower level.

Raisa cringes at the shriek echoing inside her head. When it passes she glances back toward the cafeteria, but hearing nothing else she just shakes her head and reaches her room. "ARIS, can you set up an auto-reply for my e-mail? Just that I'll answer any messages the first chance I get. Though from what I'm hearing there won't be many of those."

Reluctantly she picks up her suitcase - and Dara's if they were left in her room - and locks the door behind her before she head out to the tarmac to wait(hopefully in peace).
