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.

[gamora]

I would never have guessed.

[ she's getting a feeling that it's just going to be too easy with him around. ]

[fe_male]

[ he does have a habit of making things easier when he's involved, yes. that's the norm for him. ]

So, I flew us here. You come up with a plan while you were mooching?

[gamora]

Beyond kill the monsters?

[fe_male]

I was thinking more like 'how to kill the monsters'.

[gamora]

I don't care as long as they're dead.

[ Expecting a 'how' out of Gamora is a bad idea - she goes in and she kills things. That's about it. ]

[fe_male]

I didn't realize I'd been flying with such a strategist. Philosopher, even.

[gamora]

Should have waited for Quill and Adam if you wanted one of those.

[fe_male]

And we'd either still be waiting back there or we'd be slowly walking over here.

[gamora]

Adam can teleport.

[ so the waiting wouldn't have been that bad. ]

[fe_male]

[ pause. ]

Are you serious? And you let me fly us all the way over here instead of just telling me that back there?

[gamora]

You didn't seem the listening type.

[fe_male]

[ okay while he can't argue with that ]

Most people who don't listen just assume it's the best way to be lazy, but the lazy will supersede the not listening.

[gamora]

I'll remember it for next time.
