<Snipped quote by Forsythe>

b...b...but we don't have a discord. We're just chatting nonsense in the OOC.


Precisely, it is great! :D You don't get the rush of endorphins form seeing a number on a gray button in Discord.
I for one hate Discords stealing the thunder from OOC threads.
San'shyum are giving us Ethereal vibes. Let's kill them.
*meanwhile the Avenger is so backwater it can fly around Coruscant unimpeded*
Red matter replicators xD
Generally the lego block replicators are resistant to directed energy weapons and weak to kinetic weapons. The sonic canon would work, but he'd die soon after xD
Looking at the apps, bugs better turn Coruscant into a lego death star fast, otherwise they're done xD

XCOM

Location: Coruscant, geosynchronous orbit over the Jedi temple
Avenger command center

"That was one of the smoothest travels to date." The commander noted, the Avenger having jumped universes without so much as spilling her coffee.

"I said it before, and I'll say it again - If anyone else wants to take the helm, knock yourselves out." Central said back, as it was usually him flying the ship and rattling everyone's bones.

"We have arrived at the specified coordinates. Good news is that apparently, our engines do indeed work in space and the ship is in fact airtight." Shen chimed in from her station.

"Stand down from general quarters, pont the scanners at the planet and get Colonel Carter on the horn." The commander ordered, straight to business. Daniel brought quite the number of ships to help, which made the commander think this mission might not be as easy at it might seem.

"Ma'am, incoming communication from the Hammond." The communications officer noted, and the commander ordered the message on loudspeaker. "Patch me through. Colonel Carter, the Avenger is in GSO and scanning the infected area. I request your brief presence on the Avenger, along with whatever crew can link our sensors together." The Commander asked.

As soon as the crew of the Hammond beamed over, red lights flashed over the bridge, the automated voice calling out intruder alert. "Stand down!" The central officer called out, "Well this is familiar..."

"True. Initiate Echelon protocol." The commander ordered.

Senior command transfer initiated.

The Commander got up, and for the first time Sam would see the woman - Lean, tall woman with anthracite hair, and a set of scars on the right side of her face. "Colonel Carter, Commander Catherine Black. I am transferring strategic command of XCOM yo the Hammond for the duration of this mission. You know this enemy, this is your rodeo. We'll be here to keep you on your horse." She said, offering a handshake.


Location: Framework simulation
Skills: Armored ground combat, Data gathering and analysis, Hacking
Equipment: Shieldmaiden armor

Oof. That worked a little too well. Victoria thought as her blast punched through the pillar, continued through Diana and on its merry way until it hit the edge of the arena. She was about to take cover herself, when half of Diana landed behind her with a wet thud. Later Vicky would loathe to admit it took her a full second of staring at the scene in bewilderment before she realized what happened and added another item on her list of lessons learned / things to do.

Once she did though, she reached down and snagged the quiver from Diana's corpse. It was time to start thinking of defeating the sword wielding technopath, and her armor famously didn't fit into that equation. She noticed the remaining trick arrows. The boomerang arrow was quite useless to her, but the fire arrow she could make use off, and one of the regular ones was sharp enough to get in the gaps of her armor, so that would have to do.

Still, despite having all that and despite her lanky build not being bad at all in hand to hand, Zari's sword still gave her a reach advantage and Victoria did not fancy those odds. So, she pinged her sensors, and spotted the blob of heat hiding on the outskirts that was Edward Arca. Looking at the Master Hand, a shit eating grin plastered itself on her face under her faceplate.

Focusing on the construct, she frowned at Zari damaging her weapon to be, but none the less it was still better than anything else her human self could likely bring to bear.

Speaking of though, having programmed the Framework to make herself appear human came to bite her back in the ass. Rather than easily connecting and hacking at supercomputer speeds, she had to use the suit's HUD, voice commands and eye tracking to do the hacking the human way - Considerably more slowly. That was when certain someone came back to mind.

With the generators in her hands cooling down still from the overcharged attack and Diana out of the picture, she reset her defenses to something more appropriate, hoping at least Leah was smart enough to figure out that the next set of boulders she hurled at her better have a pointy end. Brownie points would be awarded for fin or spin stabilization.

Well, as long as someone else makes the brownies. Mine would not be much of a reward. she sniffed. Raising her arms with the generators facing away, she turned around and headed towards Ed. "Ed? I know you're there. Look while I appreciate selecting pretty much the best strategy out of all of us, the sad part is neither of us will stand much of a chance against the technopath over yonder, she is... Well, a god in here. I'm thinking our only chance is to put her in a crossfire, so to speak. I'm trying to gain control of the Master hand but it's going slow. Would you happen to know of some backdoors to make that happen? Help me out here and I'll ditch the armor if we're the last two standing to make it fairer." she tried to sweeten the deal.
