Generation Legacy Issue #12

[Tokiwong]

He frowned a bit, "Sometimes I wonder if my life wouldnt have been better if I hadnt been elite. Of course, I wouldnt be here if I wasnt."

I'd be dead.

“Well yes you would be dead, so be thankful for that,” she replies.

"But, perhaps something more important ... what do Elites do? I mean, I know a lot of them are well off and all that, but ... what do they do? It's like we're a part of the population that just doesnt really fit in, even if they like us. Not all of us have elite talents that can be used for normal kinds of work."

“We do what we can, Tim. That is all we can do, many elites are only good at hurting people, and others have abilities that allow them to break the normal laws of physics, of reality as we know them. They parlay this into lucrative contracts for study, production, and any endeavor that it could possibly be used for. We fit in where we can, and we try and live as best as we can without hopefully stepping on the liberties of our peers, baseline and elite alike.”

“I mean we can just do things that others can’t. I will tell you how I got through my university years very quickly, because I never had to study. I am not too proud to admit that on the first day of class I simply mentally downloaded all information straight from the professor… and sometimes the smarter kids in the class. Yeah not exactly ethical, but I still learned in my own way,” she smiles mischievously.

“You don’t have to figure out right now what you will do, all you need to do now is learn and grow, and the answers will come with time. It’s the rare person that knows exactly what they want to do at your age, so don’t get too frustrated. Even the Legacy teens, I don’t expect them to do this kind of work forever… one day they too will move on…” she adds wistfully.

“And no old maid jokes, I graduated college only a few months before I took my position here at the Institute. I am still a young!” she adds adamantly.

Fighting the Ape!

Charlotte’s limb moves to attack in a swarming mass but to no avail as the metallic ape rages about angry at its denial of its target! Five more STAR units appear and open fire on the teen elites!

Karen, Anika, and Mark are all struck!

Charlotte’s attack is a 14 and misses! Karen rolls a 14 Toughness save, Mark rolls a 22 Toughness save, and Anika gets a 30 Toughness save, wait for usage of HP and then its Karen’s turn! The attack rolls were 17 for Anika, 25 for Karen, and 27 for Mark!

Sparky on the Offensive!

Ryan slams the mouth apart, well he tries but fails just short of actual harm but his aura seems to do significant damage to the robotic canine! Tina nods at Ryan, “On it!” and rushes forward slipping behind the creature into the next room, a door slams shut behind her!

Ryan rolls a 24 attack, but Sparky rolls a 30 Toughness save and is fine, but his save against the Aura is a 23 and is Bruised + Injured! Gilden’s turn!

Cassie

Flashfire shrugs, “I suppose, but there is a price for every gift given. I don’t claim to know her will but I do know that for the moment harming you is the least of your worries. The Mistress is a gracious hostess, and you are a guest here in the Obsidian Palace of Crimson Tears.”

The demon grins, “I always like saying that name.”

Mark saves his hp. I want it for that ape if he hits me.

ooc: Will use Karen's hero point on the toughness save

"Someone get those Stars, I've got this one," Karen hisses as the blast slams into her back. She jumps up to sink her sharp ruby hands into the robotic ape's head, Let's see what's inside this tin can.

ooc:
Full concealment
Attack: +6 to hit / +12L / +5L (aura)
Grapple if the attack succeeds, +23 grapple check
She'll use interpose if it attacks anyone else.
Defense 15
Toughness +13/9 impervious

Karen rolls a 23 after using an HP! She is unharmed, while Mark is Bruised + Injured by another blast! Obviously Anika will be fine.

Karen leaps into the fray and with a satisfying crunch cuts the cyber-ape clean in two with internal servos, wires, and gyros popping snapping under strength! It tries to howl but nothing comes out…

Karen rolls a 21 attack, the Ape rolls an 20 save versus the attack and an 11 versus the Aura, the Ape is down for now… oh how the mighty have fallen.

Gadget speaks over the secure link, “Alright, I got it… and that should do it.”

All the STAR units shut down, collapsing to the ground like rag dolls.

“Did it work?” Gadget questions.

“Well yes you would be dead, so be thankful for that,” she replies.

“You don’t have to figure out right now what you will do, all you need to do now is learn and grow, and the answers will come with time.

He shrugs, and without even thinking about it, sets the perpetual motion machine in motion, and keeps it in motion should it slow down. "I bet you enjoy making students wonder just how that stays in motion, don't you?"

Old maid ... hardly. You could probably wear out half the men on campus.

He quickly stifled that thought, recalling he was dealing with a telepath. If he hadnt known better when he first met her, he would have sworn she was a fellow student. Then he frowned, recalling the student that one day.

"There is one student, or visitor, I am curious about."

He quickly describes Chaos, "He gave me a most interesting ... discussion one day. And I swear I've spotted him a few times in the past few days. Is he a visitor or a fellow student?"

Is that all the present foes?

All the STAR units shut down, collapsing to the ground like rag dolls.

“Did it work?” Gadget questions.

"Beautiful, Gadget," Mark told his comm as he looked at the hole burned through his uniform and part of him undernearth. That's a lot of blood...

 

[Tokiwong]

"Beautiful, Gadget," Mark told his comm as he looked at the hole burned through his uniform and part of him undernearth. That's a lot of blood...

No current foes...

 

[Aenion]

Karen looks shocked at the perforated, robotic head in her hands as the lights in its eyes dimmed, then quickly throws it away from herself like it was still alive. She turns to Mark, looking worriedly at the hole in his uniform, "Are you alright?"

"Missed the legs so I'll be fine," Mark shrugged. Should be wanting to get stoned right now. Thanks, Jun Min.

Mark got on his comm to Legacy, "We're clear here and all of the Stars except our's should be down, but Legion might still be around. Any signs of Kelly anywhere?"

A woman’s voice sounds, “It seems that this whole plan has become a disaster of epic proportions… or has it? I daresay first you take my beloved from me, and then break some of my new toys. But your greatest sin is your hubris, your belief that you can contend with me, LEGION!” you can hear the capital letters in her voice.

“Well then, see you all in hell. Well not me, not yet, I have many more sins to commit…” she cackles maniacally.

SARAH’s voice speaks, “Final Protocol End-Game Zeta 3-6-X-1 initiated. All personnel evacuate immediately. Repeat all-personnel evacuate immediately. Or you will die.”

Gadget speaks, “That sounds bad, and I can’t stop it… it can only be stopped on site. I can’t do it remotely. You have five minutes, Mark.”

Ryan and Gilden, if he were not still deaf, hear what Legion and SARAH say as well.

Timothy

“Oh yeah, I know Chaos, he seems to have a bad habit of popping up when he isn’t wanted. He is if he is to be believed a being on a purely cosmic scale. And from what he has done thus far, I believe the hype, thankfully he has never been actively malicious, but that does not mean he isn’t dangerous,” she adds.

Jun Min shrugs, “And yes I can wear out most men…” she laughs mischievously, “I am sorry I couldn’t resist.”
