EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

Can't imagine you're busy making a name for yourself.

[ she stands, sheathing her sword on her back before looking down at Roslyn. ]

You do something stupid and I will personally make sure you don't have a chance to do it again.

[boughtabookstore]

Not particularly, but a search should find you my contact information.

[ One raised eyebrow is the only response to that. ]

If you say so.

[gamora]

Understood.

[ And a slow grin spreads across her face. ]

I'm the most dangerous woman in the galaxy; I won't even have to think twice.

[ It's about as protective of her team as she gets - threatening people who might get them killed through doing stupid things. ]

[boughtabookstore]

[ That was a little unsettling, but it doesn't reflect in Roslyn's face. ]

That's quite a title.

But you won't have any need to not think twice.

[gamora]

I've earned it. [ Made for it, even. But details. ] Good.

[boughtabookstore]

I'm sure you have. [ No way to tell if that was sarcasm or sincere. ]

Till later, then.

[gamora]

[ She won't pick one way or another by responding - it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, not about that at any rate. ]

Be on time.

[boughtabookstore]

[ A short nod. ]

I will be.
