Myriad Reality

Alright, that caps off that scene for a while. No more posts need to be made for ye olde eldritch for a while yet.

Myriad Reality

*My blood splatters across the rocks behind me, but is consumed by and disappears in the light*
You’re welcome!

@Meta

*The cleaners begin their work and the fields are silent once again, yet something sinister lurks nonetheless*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Haven’t you guys ever heard the phrase “help me help you?”
*Taps one on the shoulder, and the other on his left ankle, with the same healing effect before taking off*

@Meta

*The soldier attempting to grab you falls back as you do so, the others raising their rifles and opening fire once more*

The target is fleeing the area! Command please advise!

*There is a pause from one of the heavily armored humanoids as they seem to communicate with someone over a long-range radio built into their helmet. After a moment or two, however, the soldier quickly waves to the other troops gathered around, silencing their onslaught*

Hold your fire! Command says we're to pull back for now! Looks like we're being reassigned to a collection detail.

*The soldier's lifeless visage peers up at you coldly*

This isn't over.

*With that the soldiers begin to withdraw as several ships, bulky atmospheric cleaners by the looks of things, loom overhead*

*Throws myself into the line of soldiers, my touch healing any injuries they may have sustained*

@Meta

*The one you attempted to heal tries to restrain you as the firing ceases momentarily, two more rushing in from either side to help while a third runs in, the butt of their gun raised to strike you across the back of your skull*

*Each beam blows a hole through my body with ease, which is as quickly filled with the same chromatic light, restoring my flesh*

@Meta

*The soldiers form a defensive line and continue laying down suppressing fire*

Target has regenerative capabilities! Radio command and tell them to deploy heavy ordinance!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Immediately sprints toward the soldiers*

@Meta

Target refuses to comply, open fire!

*Doing so, a hail of crimson lasers is unleashed upon you from multiple directions*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Hey, are you all okay?? Any radiation poisoning?

@Meta

*The soldiers flick their safeties off one after the other*

We won't ask you again! Get on your knees or you will be shot!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Starts toward the soldiers*
Hey! Are you all okay??

@Meta

*Their gazes snap to you, and they take aim*

Stay where you are, and get on your knees! NOW!!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*The radioactivity burns away at my flesh, and I hit the ground with the sound of crunching bones; as quickly as I go down, I stand back up surrounded by colors and start running toward anybody else affected by the blast*

@Meta

*My fragments by this point have slithered off in numerous directions, changing their shapes as they do so to mimic the local flora, fauna, and animal life of the planet. The fallout, meanwhile, will only linger overhead for a few hours at most. Or at least until scrubbing teams are sent up to cleanse the lower and upper atmosphere of radioactive particulate. Meanwhile on the ground, teams of heavily armed soldiers have already started to comb the area in which you crashed*

Come on!
*The boot structures activate an embedded set of lasers, which propel me toward the planet at breakneck speeds*

@Meta

*The missile finally make contact as my fragments continue to fall, some of the having reached the ground in places already, and detonate to bath you in a sea of radioactive fire*
