@Hank Heya, how's the progress lookin? If you need more time to feel better I can just nudge Dex along with hacking the security terminal herself. She won't be able to acquire full access to the entire network but at the very least pull as much information from that terminal as she can.

I'll give it till the end of the weekend then carry on.

So @Hellis don't feel obligated to wait for me, if you have something in the works steam on ahead :).

I'll hopefully have a post up for Vellios tonight and something for the thugs who weren't manipulate. @Sundered Echo: Thank you for controlling those two thugs that went after Khosin and Kasy, helps me a lot.

I think @DJAtomika gave Kaza 3 arms...cause it's hard for me to see him grip Haze's collar while both blocking the knife and punching. :P So my next post will be filling in and possibly altering a few things to make the action smoother.

Post is up folks.

@Dervish I hinted to the building being collapsible, though you have the final say. If I need to alter the post let me know and I will.

@Fallenreaper Now see, I wrote that under the assumption that Kaza was going to have one knife in his right, and his left hand empty.

And the punch is a straight arm with his knife hand, meaning that he used his weapon hand to sock him in the face. If you've, like, held a microphone or a similar single-handed implement and tried to punch someone, it's really viable as an attack move.

But it doesn't really matter. I can easily add in a nosebleed in my next post.

Combat semantics aside, Fallen I think we need to kick this guy's ass in a collab. I find writing a combat where we both control the enemy to be quite confusing as I don't quite know how you want the combat to go, aesthetics wise. XD

Love waking up to read a new post with my morning cup of coffee. <3

@Hank As of today I'll be continuing to write my new post without Mirage's imput. If you needed more time you should have said so. :(

Technically he has a gun in his hand which I was writing in a prior post before you replied. I didn't officially read your post until I was ready to make one, which was a bit of a bad on my part, and so you couldn't have known. Part of the reason I wanted Haze's entrance merely setting the Turian up rather than engaging or killing Kaza.

And the punch is a straight arm with his knife hand, meaning that he used his weapon hand to sock him in the face. If you've, like, held a microphone or a similar single-handed implement and tried to punch someone, it's really viable as an attack move.

I figured a gun punch to the face was much cooler and more plausible for Haze to be sent reeling. Those hurt like hell after all while I can see Haze being able let a punch skim off his check or face side.

Combat semantics aside, Fallen I think we need to kick this guy's ass in a collab. I find writing a combat where we both control the enemy to be quite confusing as I don't quite know how you want the combat to go, aesthetics wise. XD


Combat can be confusing no matter who writes it as we got like two turians and three hes, so we'll have to be specific about which He or Turian does what. Aesthetic wise, Kaza needs to be a challenging adversary. This means:
~ He should reasonably be able to counter most of what Vellios or Haze toss at him with minimal damage in the beginning.
~ Not take on both at the exact same time, but rather keep one or another at bay while fighting the other.(this is added to the fact both have never worked together, they would get into each's way.)
~ He's got both a gun and a knife which can help with the above to an extent.

Currently, we have about 4 options at least to make this work:

1. One of us control him mainly for about say 2-3 posts then switch over for another 2-3 posts before killing him.
2. We talk it out in the OoC as we're writing it, discussing options or what should happen in each other's posts.
3. We do a collab with @Dervish's blessing. :p
4. Or, have a third party like another player (not necessarily those involved in the scene) or GM take over Kaza's posts for the time being.

Another distant one is that Haze or Vellios goes to help Vallis who's currently out numbered and having a hard time, mainly because the thugs aren't taking chances and chucking grenades at her repeatedly to limit her botic options. If too many grenades, by the GM's choice, are tossed depending on the building's integrity could result in either one or two results:

1. Tonnis becomes a demolition expert and tries to bring the whole building down on top of the mercs. Key word highlighted there because it will most likely be stopped.
2. The integrity of the building is much weaker and shoddier than any of them realize causing it to start to crumble the roof a bit down on top of them though not completely collapse.

If not, I'll figure something else out or merely have the others do that.

If you guys really wanted to do a collab, I'm alright with that. I mainly just wanted to steer people away from making it the go-to posting idea.

As for the grenades make buildings go collapse thing, grenades simply wouldn't cut it, even if you had a bunch of them. Pretty much the only structure getting brought down by a grenade is an enclosed tin shack that can't contain the force of an explosion. You'd need demolition charges and a considerable amount of time and planning to take down something like the warehouse; it's a very solid building.

Tonnis, or any of the other Twin Star jackasses, also probably would be hesitant to try and destroy their own infrastructure. Even if you succeeded in doing that to kill a handful of intruders who seem to have the upper hand, you'd still have to deal with the whole fact you collapsed a building and everything important you were storing inside of it.

I also wanted to point this out from your last post,

The Turian was pushing up with his foot and rushed at Kaza’s upheld gun pointed at him. A second later, Batarian pulled the trigger.

When the barrel starting to flash as the bullet exited the chamber, Vellios brought up his free hand. It clasped about the wrist and jerked the muzzle to the right.


Unless Vellios has Neo-like reaction time and can perceive things in slow motion, this scenario is impossible. Trigger gets pulled, fraction of light speed projectile immediately leaves the barrel. Reaching up to push the barrel away after the trigger was pulled is simply impossible. It would make more sense that either Kaza's shot missed (which isn't unreasonable; if you're trying to react to somebody suddenly bullrush you from blank range, you may shoot before you aim), or Vellios got to him before he could shoot.

The scene doesn't really have to play out any different, I just wanted to point out that our dear turian isn't going to be able to defy physics, no matter how dramatic it is. :P

Plot twist, Vellios is really a super enhanced robot made by Serena who doesn't know he is one.

IT'S PERFECT.

@Dervish Give me time and I'll take it out and edit it.

All edits made, I'll be sure to be more careful in the future. I hope they work and if not, I'll just have Haze interrupt the whole scene and make it into a smaller post. No biggie.
