Andreemea: New Tomorrows

I've backed up all our posts and will continue doing so as they come in.
We can always come together on Chatzy or the collab page in case disaster strikes to discuss where to move this.

I think that's for the best, yes. Electricity is always a troublesome element, really hard to balance because it's just that fast.

I'm gonna stay quiet for a few days cause other matters are keeping me busy. But i'll be back.

I took control of Gogo for a bit, Darcs, i hope you're fine with that. I assumed you would since she's not your main character.

DGlob, you can assume that Gunnos will drop off Gogo at the medbay and then quickly run back to the battle, unless interrupted.

Andreemea: New Tomorrows

With some of the more capable soldiers being fielded, the tides seemed to be turning in their favour. As Gunnos popped up to take a potshot at an approaching attacker, he spotted crystalline structures going up in the distance while the stone man and his two sword-carrying companions engaged the invaders in melee combat. He made a mental note to investigate who made those crystals and how, but that was a matter for later. Just before the entrance of the hangar was closed off by the rising wall of crystal, he spied additional reinforcements coming in from above, just as someone behind him was loudly observing.

With the enemy force cut in two for the time being, this was the time to move. Gunnos bolted from cover and charged, as fast as his short legs would allow, towards a nearby invader who was currently firing at someone else. The man noticed him at the last second, but couldn’t redirect his fire before being body-slammed off his feet. Gunnos brought his hammercannon down upon the downed man’s chest with a painful crunch, finishing him off just as another noticed him and took aim. He managed to pull out his bloodied axe and duck back into cover barely in time, taking a single bullet to the shoulder as he did. Thanks to his MediumWeave clothing, it was more like a very painful punch than a bullet wound, but still something to be avoided.

Luckily, the attacker was gunned down by a series of pherza shots from lord-knows-where before he could continue pursuit. When Gunnos peeked up again, he saw the bloodied form of a man he’d thought dead crawling across the ground. The man had several bullet wounds in his back and had lost a lot of blood, but was still moving regardless. Grabbing the opportunity now that few enemies were nearby, Gunnos bolted from cover to cover until he reached the man’s position, where he hurriedly kneeled down next to him. “Bud, can ye hear me? I can get ye out of here!” he said as he frantically pulled the man’s arm over his shoulder in order to drag him to safety.

“Thank you, sir,” The man panted as he used his remaining strength and Gunnos’ support to rise halfway to his feet. “I feared I was done for… Didn’t dare transform, lest I worsen the wounds.” Unsure what he meant by that, Gunnos simply did his best to support the man’s weight as they scrambled in the direction of the ship. “There’s more outside. We can’t fight them all. They sound better armed too,” the man continued. When Gunnos looked back to his face, his previously normal ears had been replaced by the huge pointy ones of a bat. Whatever he is, he's right. We need to get out of this trap.

When he’d almost made his way back to the ship, he saw that the Nymph he’d clashed with earlier had advanced into the combat zone, with her badly injured relative by her side. The thought of letting them hang briefly entered his mind, but no, he couldn’t let prejudice affect his actions. At the Exeralune’s entrance, he spotted a female Nihn wearing the uniform of medical personnel, hiding behind cover of the doorframe. “Nurse!” he shouted to get her attention. “Get ‘im off me and to the medbay, there’s others need me help!” Frightened but dedicated to do her job, she popped out from cover to take Iron off his hands and help him into the ship.

As soon as his hands were free, Gunnos bolted back towards Kukcoo and Gogo. He came to a stop beside Gogo, who sounded like she was having a great time despite looking like a fresh corpse. “Just keep shootin’,” he said gruffly to Kukcoo as he briefly made eye contact with her, halfway expecting her to make another angry rant upon seeing him. He then picked Gogo up by her waist and threw her little body over his shoulder like a bag of flour, before running back to the entrance of the ship. “Haay, lemme guh, ahm FIIIIIINE!” she protested loudly and feebly pounded her little fists on his back, but Gunnos ignored it and ran into the ship, joining the nurse on her way to the medbay. He could only hope Shor’gen was capable of tending to them in his own wounded state. The last thing he heard before reaching the entrance to the medbay was a sort of crash sound coming from outside, almost like the sound of an explosive weapon being used against a wall of crystal…

Due to the torrent of flames, Gregor was unable to see Arthur’s reaction until it was too late. His body slam hit only thin air, while Arthur’s blade clove through his chest and abdomen, giving him no chance to dodge or retaliate before crashing to the floor unceremoniously. Gallons of boiling-hot blood gushed out from his mortal wound as he roared in pain and went berserk, wildly spewing flames around in every direction in a desperate attempt to incinerate his enemy. It was only for a brief moment, however, before he crashed down motionless into the molten snow, defeated.

This is bad, Gunnos thought. The defence force was divided between fighting and hiding, and the attackers were coming in well-armed and in large numbers. At least the shield was up now thanks to the strange electronic voice (what was that anyways?), yet the door remained unshielded, so the attackers might end up entering and slaughtering the rest of the crew if they weren’t stopped. Right as Gunnos feared he’d have to charge in alone, which he would if left no other choice, Shor’gen came crawling out to join the battle, followed by two women and a large rock man.

A gift from Chahara Vee, he thought as he advanced together with them to join the few crewmembers who’d stayed in position despite Kukcoo’s command. He charged for the nearest available cover, which happened to have an attacker taking cover on the other side. Just as the attacker rose to fire, Gunnos was there with his weapon at the ready. “Surprise motherfucker,” he said as he blew the man off his feet with a blast from his shotgun. Behind him, the Teloran was lumbering forward as bullets struck sparks against his rocky body, with the two women taking cover behind him. A couple yards to his right, an Inorr with an obscenely large gun blasted right through a small stack of crates to blow the attacker behind it to pieces with a single shot, while to his left a very large human was boldly punching one of the attackers in the face.

Maybe there was hope after all. Meanwhile, more conflict seemed to be erupting on the far end of the hangar. That better be the captain, he thought, but he couldn’t get a good enough look without risking being hit. Emboldened by their reinforcements, however, some of the silverclad were advancing. Gunnos popped up from cover and took a shot at the legs of the nearest one, causing him to fall prone with a clabang. He finished the downed attacker off with another shot before drawing back into cover and loading new slugs into his gun. Despite all their casualties, there were still enough of them in sight to overwhelm the crew if given the chance. More fire power may be needed if they were to give the captain a chance at safe arrival.

Just a note to everyone. Unless mentioned otherwise, all crewmembers on this page and all enemy goons can be controlled by any player. That includes you, Globster. This isn't the arena, so you don't need to launch your attack and wait for Nobody to receive it. Of course, named or otherwise important enemies can only be controlled by those authorized. Crewmembers marked with a "(P)" can still be controlled, but not killed off.
