X-Men: Cosmic Crusades 👽

Robert Linden

Rob listened to Mary starting to complain at him, he was listening for the most part, but mostly was trying every trick he knew of with the computers in order to get some of the pumps active... Failing that, he was hoping he may be able to open one of the airlocks in the entirely flooded area and vent the water harmlessly into space and then repressurize the area... But then he stopped. The kid who created all that water was still probably in the flooded area and that was consigning him to death. "Look, i appreciate that, but the simple fact is that i am a man who believes in fixing problems first and then assigning blame later. Right now, i am focussed on exactly 1 thing, getting everyone on this station through this day alive and for anoth..." He stopped mid sentence as he watched Mary start to get more noticably angry. "Crap he got to you, didn't he?" He asked. He set the computer to run a diagnostic on the pumps to figure out why they weren't working, which would take a few minutes anyway. He then jogged over to her. "Usually, i've just been confining those going through withdrawls to a quarters, but-" He then saw the fire blaze from their hands and stopped dead... "You..." He seemed to back off a little, before the metal from his wheelchair started to creep over his face and through his hair, as well as across his suit. He had no idea how the Professor had managed to design the suit to act as almost a second skin to him, but he suspected it had something to do with Unstable Molocules "Now, you gotta be careful with that, there is sensitive equipment in the walls, i insulated them as best i could, just be careful or we are getting either crushed by water pressure or turned inside out due to decompression."

If this one was suffering from withdrawl he frankly didn't trust her to open a tin of beans that was already open without turning said tin into a nuclear inferno, but he also doubted he had the power to prevent her from doing it anyway. So, better to try to aim her in the right direction. Talk calmly and try not to aggravate her. "Just keep in mind that-" He pointed to the others in the room with a broad sweep of his arm. "-Your friends are all in here with you."

Robert frowned at Flynn as he asked if he was about to attack them. "Nope, not gonna attack you. i'm trying very much to keep this station fully intact and working and there seems to be a few people around today that are doing their damnest to prevent that." Suddenly, the alarm started blaring on the computer screen as the faint sound of rushing water quickly grew louder "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL NOW?!" He yelled, quickly tapping at the keyboard to order all of the warning systems to report in with any errors. As Flynn closed the door and water rushed past, his heart dropped "That explosion, it must have ruptured one of the coolant tanks or hydroponics or-" That was weird, all of the systems that had anything to do with water seemed to be coming back as A-OK, no errors, no ruptures, no nothing... But failsafe flooding alarms were still going off. "Dammit, the bloody internal damage sensors must have been-" but it seemed that he wasn't allowed to finish a thought today as Ed accused him of waiting for them to have their back turned before stabbing it.

"Alright, let me make something very clear!" He growled. Before scrunching up his face, his clothes absorbing into himself before the X-Men suit was deabsorbed around himself. "Robert Stephen Patrick Linden, Codename Upgrade, Xavier Institute class of 2007. I made this place for 1 reason and 1 reason alone. I want Magneto off my damn planet and i don't want to kill him. Giving him his own station where he can bugger off to space and leave everyone on Earth alone seemed like the best way to do it. Trust me when i say, i want to be here as just little as you do. But we all want him gone. So let's give him the means to bugger off peacefully." He continued tapping away on the computer, trying to get the drainage systems from fire suppresion working. He then heard Mary mention about a mutants powers going haywire and it took a few seconds for Robert to figure out "Cortez..." moments before she asked him about Cortez. "Him and his sister showed up here a short while ago. Bloody snake-oil salesman that one is. Gives your powers a quick boost, but the come down... Seen a few guys act like it's Cocaine. Seemed a little too big into the Magneto Kool-Aid so i didn't think too much of him. Was hoping he'd go with Magneto when he left Earth." He continued tapping, before finally a ding and a distant clunk sound. "Right, got the air-tight emergency doors closed, so the water won't be spreading anywhere else, but that doesn't help us get out of here." He groaned. "I'll try and get the pumps working, but they were never really designed to handle this much water."

Finally seemed to be making some progress. Nobody seemed to be about. Simultaneously relieving and annoying. He stopped for a 20ish seconds in order to reabsorbed the X-Men suit and de-absorbed his normal clothes, putting them back on the outside. He was no-where near where that explosion had happened, the only thing that suit would do right now is get him beaten up by angry brotherhood mutants. As he panted heavily and walked around a few steps with hands on hips. Running took it out of him, especially while trying to concentrate on keeping his spine intact. He let out a long sigh "Feck it" He let out from under his breath. No specific reason to be running now, he would conserve his energy by switching back to the wheelchair... Or at least, that's what he was going to do, when he suddenly saw an explosion of orange light from out of one of the open doors. "What in the power of Greyskull..." He mumbled, before slowly sneaking over and looking into one of the computer rooms to see a kid sat at a computer with 2 girls and another guy in there. Didn't recognize them. Could be with the other X-Men, but could also be some of Magneto's new worshippers. Best play it safe and act dumb. He poked his head through the door "Ummm, hello?" He asked. "New recruits for the construction team? Maintainance? Tech-Support? Robert Linden, chief architect for the Asteroid." He slowly sidled around the outside of the room, trying to act naturally, but also being wary in case they decided to just laser him to death (Brotherhood mutants were prone to trying that one) "Sorry, just need to get to this computer..." He strategically chose a computer that would allow him to keep an eye on the 4 in front of him while also checking. "Just need to check some of the internal sensors. There was a big explosion a few minutes ago and just need to make sure that we're not all about to be turned inside out in a violent explosive decompression." He laughed in order to hide his true feelings which was utter terror.

If these guys were some of Magneto's worshippers, they may be about to head off and start a fight in his Asteroid that could rip the station apart and if they were X-Men... Well, much of the same, frankly. Point is, that he had FINALLY figured out how to get Magneto out of Earths problem box without killing him and now that solution was falling apart because Erik just HAD to go and grab an X-Man for his station. And then there was Jasmine. If he was turned into People-Patte here and now, who would look after her? He breathed a sigh of relief as none of the internal sensors seemed to be registering any decompression. "Well, the good news is we are going to live right now, but the main question is how i can help our brave, intrepid explorers to the stars?" He asked with a big friendly smile that hid his preparations to defend himself if he should be attacked.

What kind of RP mood are you in?

@Silverwind Blade I am looking for players for a Tramsformers Essence20 game if you go to the Tabletop section.

As Robert continued to run... But he stopped, realizing he had no idea where any of them had gone to. He panted a little, again, he tried to keep his cardio up to prevent his legs from fully atrophying, but he wasn't exactly in the best shape of his life. "What the hell am i doing?" He panted. He looked around. "I can't let Magneto see me in this. He'll think i'm some kind of double agent." He sighed. Then again, it was the closest thing he had to a space suit. It was designed for harsh environments. He looked down the corridors. One led to the Hangar, the other led to C&C. Well, if nobody was answering from C&C, then he'd have to head over there anyway. This place needed someone at the helm. He set off at a run towards C&C.

Robert continued trying the button "C&C? C&C PLEASE respond..." then turned around upon hearing the whoosh of Pietro running off. "Blast it" He looked at Carolina as she told him to get the map. "Who died and left you in charge..." He saw her run off down the hallway after Pietro, along with the others. He tried to call out something, but it fell on deaf ears. "Damn and blast it all to hell..." He growled, wheeling himself into the lab again, he looked around "I'll go to the foot of my stairs..." he cursed, realizing this was an emergency situation, he didn't know what was going to happen in the next hour... This may be a mistake, but he'd have to take it. Concentrating, he slowly sank down to the ground as the wheelchair sank into his body. He concentrated on putting the right elements in the right places, the Adamantium into his spine to reattach the nerve endings, finally his legs sprang to life, he pulled himself to his feet, before running over to grab the blueprint map, he was about to leave when he looked at the wardrobe he kept his spare labcoats in... He sighed, before running over to it and pressing the door to open. He grabbed the leather costume, as well as grabbing a long metal pipe he kept in there for emergencies and a respirator, just in case they were venting atmosphere. He set off at a run down the hallway, absorbing both the items into himself, focussing on reorganizing the molocules to keep them together. He then slowly began absorbing his outer clothing as he continued running, for about 10 seconds, he was running completely naked, before finally, the blue and yellow costume seeped out of his skin around himself. It had been TOO long since he had charged towards impending doom in his costume... He didn't get the mask out, though, he liked to think he had moved past it. He simply kept running towards where the blast had come from.

Transformers: Something Evil's Watching Over You (Essence20)

@rush99999 Right, i noticed a few things with your character sheet:

1) You only put 15 points on your Character Sheet, so you have another point to use
2) You can't have more than D6 in any skill at Level 1
3) You have to have at least 1 point in each essence, because certain attacks will cause you to temporarily go down Essences and if you have 0 in an essence, then your character immediately goes down.
4) For your any attack Specialization, i'd recommend using keywords for weapons. Examples: Sniper, Balistics, Sharp, Explosive, Blunt. I will put a list of weapon keywords when i get around to putting up the equipment.

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

I'm still here, man. Whenever i ran into problems like this in my RP's i ran, i found the best way is to draw a line under the current ongoing scenes and just go "Right, this is what is happening now, everyone react or be left out."

Robert Linden

Robert looked at the mirror as Max showed it to him. Roberts eyes sighed as he rolled his neck around. Robert had helped build this place, but frankly, the spell wasn't giving him the best view ever. "Ok, i'm gonna show you a random circuit board on a toaster you once owned and ask you if you know where that came from?" He rolled his head. "Look, i'm not in this for Magneto's revolution, trust me when i say i much prefer the Professor's view of the future to Magneto's, but if he and his brotherhood want to bugger off to space, why oh why don't we just let them and save everyone on earth a LOT of hassle? It's the reason i've been helping him these last few years. I want to raise my daughter on an Earth without him, frankly..." He then thought back to the mansion, of all of the exploits he had had in the past. Asari, Professor Logan, Shadow-Man and the rest of Gold Squad... "But i took an oath to help any fellow Mutants in need. But don't you DARE get into a damn fight in here. I keep telling the others, we breach these air tight seals and... Is Glob Herman still at the mansion? You met him? Yeah, we'll look like that. Except without the being alive part." As Pietro backed him up on the whole "All of the blank, stainless steel walls look very much the same." He pointed at the speedster. "Exactly, get me a better shot of the corridors, maybe get me one of the navigation codes and i might be able to tell you where he is." At that point the whole station seemed to rock with an explosion.

"OH SHIT, WE'RE ALL GONNA GET GLOBBED!!!" Rob blurted out as he quickly rolled over to one of the emergency intercomms on the wall. Before he pressed the button, he looked at Carolina "Yeah, there's a whole schematic for the entire station in my lab i just left." He pointed to the lab he had rolled out of, before pressing the buttons to put him straight through the control center "C&C, it's Rob, what the HELL was that explosion? We venting air? I need a Sitrep NOW!"
