[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"Will my appointment with Mia be today?" Logar asks bluntly, making no signs of moving until he gets an answer.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

[classified until access level is accessed. follow me. all troops shall follow these drones as well] the drone replies, leading logar off to a room similar to mia's while drones come out of the floor for his entourage, leading them to similar rooms. [please leave all clothing, arms, and armor that you can in the tray. thank you] the drone instructs after logar is led to a small room, a tray comeing out of the wall as the drone 'speaks'

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Logar doesn't move an inch, seeing that this would take far to long, and he continues on in towards the area Mia would be found. Several of his men land near by, in ships, and move out to try and give Logar a bit of back up, Logar's eyes showing that he who steps in his way should think twice.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the drone follows him, stating [halt. further acts of imputence shall be treated as hostilities] though only momentarily getting in his way

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
The drone gets as far as halt, before getting cleaved in two by Logar's blade, the mystical artifact easily tearing the robot in twain. He continues on, his mission undaunted. His clones are wielding some sort of odd stun weapons, any sergal troops trying to stop him being subjected to enough of an electrical shock to force them to the ground, not causing any long term harm.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the drone falls easilly but at it's destruction an alarm sounds and the corridor he's in seals both behind and in front of him, an automated message coming on over the comms [you have ignored warnings and continued malicious activities. you shall be jailed here until a proper sentence can be judged] while the clones in the corridor behind him would watch the corridor logar was in drop and be replaced seemlessly with another one, making it look like he'd just vanished while logar can see the shimmer of energy shielding along the walls

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
As Logar's section would lower, Logar himself would appear to float upwards, or, in reality, stay still. With his blade, he forces the ceiling of his little cage open, his physical strength allowing him to bust the magical shield. Like someone opening a can from the inside, he rips though both the ceiling, and whatever was above it, but the doors back to his troops. He then leads them forwards, them marching, but not directly attacking anyone. Across the gap created by the dropped floor, is bridged with booster packs, and Logar simply flying over it. Even this would not daunt him.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

there's a brief silence before he's teleported to an all white room, the location foreign to him with mute waving to him from the other side of the room, wearing something like a necklace and a comms unit.

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
They find teleporting Logar as such to not be possible, the soldiers projecting a non-teleportation field, preventing anything outside of their own teleportation devices to move them as such. Logar continues on, his men behind him, incapacitating any who try to halt their advance.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

there's a brief pause before the clones find mute and a wall of soldiers flanking her, rifles pointed down the hallway as mute raises a hand and doing something rather odd, speaking with a loud, booming voice with enough force to actually cause logar pause "HALT. you have ignored our warnings and protocols beyond what is acceptable. continue this and we will be forced to use force" with her voice rolling over him like waves of force, lesser clones actually being thrown back by the force if they weren't careful about their footing

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"Listen here, this woman, Mia, I need to speak with her now. If not, we all may perish.....So, either take me to her now, or we'll be forced to move though you....It's as simple as this." Logar says, and the clones ready their weapons at the ready. Logar's other hand is clutching a heart, and it seems due to the tension in the air, it's beating rapidly, as if ready for an impending fight.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"SILENCE. you have caused us enough grief as things stand due to your lack of respect for protocol. you will either leave or be processed like everyone else" she says evenly, her shout actually sending the clones next to logar reeling through the crowd behind them while logar nearly followed them if it wasn't for his resolve

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"Listen here you stupid bitch." Logar says, his voice becoming harsh, and angry. "If you continue to slow me down, your empire, my empire, ALL empires may be fucking destroyed by beasts that make your warrior queen look like an ant before a typhoon. I need to talk to her now, and if you must stop me, I'll have no regret about putting my blade though your heart." He growls, exceptionally angered. The heart is throbbing, as if about to explode from the pressure in it. The clones right themselves, and then press buttons on their arm bands, preparing for something.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"all in due time. an appointment can be made after you adhere to our regulations and protocols. the longer we stand here arguing that point, the more time you're costing yourself that could be spent doing something useful. now come. i'll handle this myself" she replies evenly, adjusting the device at her neck so that the sonic booms the soldiers had been experiencing lessen and she seems to be speaking normally

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Logar begins to move forwards. "I'm going to see her. Now." Logar says, walking right up to Mute, and looking up up at her, says something quite simple. "Move, or be moved."
Logar's troops have their weapons ready, a hail of electric shocks a moment away form flying down the hall into the sergal ranks behind Mute. If Mute waits to long to answer, Logar would simply force his way past her, and though the sergals behind her.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

mute sighs and moves as if to let him through before striking at the back of his neck with enough force that would have killed a lesser man, knocking him out for the time no matter his resolve before carting him away for processing while the troops following him have a hail of electro-bursts rained upon them, knocking them out as well and just giving them a headache.

Logar wakes in an odd abode on the station, his weapons and equipment missing from his person, his sword and black heart not seeming to summon on his command, though mute seems to be making some tea in a nearby kitchen while he's strapped to a chair, his head still swimming

---

in a galaxy far, far away and all that shit, delta had been pointed towards a planet on the rim of sergal space sporting clone ruins, their old city having been built over and the sergals having free planets that had been terra-formed but not colonized (though the had been claimed).

[supertinyking]

@Tyki

Logar looks at her, extremely displeased. "I liked it better when your kind would of at least made the fight fun, rather than efficient." Logar groans, gently twisting his neck slightly. He stands, still strapped to the chair, and walks out to where he can see her better, and sits again. Most of the clones sit around, not causing trouble, acting like civil people, playing tic tack toe and other such simple games.
--------
With the news of the encounter on the diplomatic embassy planet yet to reach her, the now once again General Delta flies her forces to help set up this world, having heard of some..unsavory things held within. Her men begin to rebuild the ruins, and find the hidden cache of weapons, relics, and other such things that were on this planet. Named Klonus 5, by their main frame, the clones now have a dug in city, as if expecting attack from something on planet. Civilians are within the core of the city, held underground. Above ground are many scanners, and movement sensors, automated turrets, and the like. Delta, armed with a vector blade, watches over things from a tower about six stories high, taller than the above ground military buildings, giving her a view of all around her.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"if that were still true i would have just blown your head off and called it a day as our forces wiped out or assimilated your own. tea?" mute replies evenly, getting out some biscuits from the oven and filling them with jelly and a little bit of some sort of bacon-like meat.

---

her scanners pick up unidentified ships in orbit before she's hailed on the comms by what looks to be a giant, humanoid wasp speaking in multi-versal common. "this planet is claimed by the ones of fur. are you colonizing it under their orders?" it asks, it's voice chittering and raspy, the translator built into the comms making it sound like how it would in it's native language.

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"You would of tried....and then the deamon would appear at some point, and we'd all be wiped out...but that's beside the point. Any chanti?" Logar asks, sighing. He could, he thinks, bust out of the straps that hold him if he really wanted to, but he'd need to wait for a good moment.
------
"It was originally our planet, they took it over in our absence. They're simply letting us take it back." Delta says. "..What is your reason to be here? Do you wish to set up a trade rout, create an alliance, maybe even join the empire as a member of our legion?" Delta asks, trying to be diplomatic as she can, but she may come off arrogant.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"i suppose so, this is just mint though. you would have been allowed to talk with mia had you been patient. this is a diplomatic settlement and you were trudging in here and ignoring our protocols which made us look bad. multi-versal destruction doesn't really matter too much if we're not there to see it" she replies evenly, moving the tray out and serving the tea and biscuits while she sits on the couch, her voice surprisingly more even than what he'd probably imagined.

---

"so you are friends of the sergals?" the wasp asks evenly
