IC: Cobra Shard - Getting Snapped At

Shard gave Quark his trademark "innocent and clueless" look before going back to poking around.

While most people he met thought he was making this face on purpose to fool them, the truth was that he really was pretty oblivious most of the time.

GM IC GLEAM

 

If Gleam moved in much closer, she would feel a warning jolt of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to knock her out of the sky - yet. If she proceeded in spite of it, things would get much worse. 

GM NPC SURGE

 

"Geez, you're...I can't put my finger on it, but I don't like it very much," Surge said. "It's about as appealing as Tratix reptoid breath. Or being in asteroid war with a guy who can't agree with himself. Ugh."

 

IC: Riot - The Astral (Hallways)

 

"Awesome. And here I thought that I was beginning to lose my touch."

Letting his grin become a full fledged smile, he simply crossed his arms over his chest.

"You would simply not believe how many teams Zib has tried to put me on. After my original ended up dissolving, I learned the hard way that I perform much better as a solo act."

 

IC Kat:

 

I boosted into the air past Tim, sticking my robotic tongue out at him as I went past.

 

OOC: As far as charges to Kaiba are concerned, I suppose assaulting a Hero could be considered, and even proven, though I don't know how willing Epix would be to put him away for such a relatively minor crime, especially given that Kaiba was only doing so due to antiquated and failing programming.

 

OOC: Yeah, that one probably wouldn't stick anyway, since it's essentially a temporary insanity defense waiting to happen. At most, HF would probably just look over his programming to confirm that it had actually been patched.

So he'd really just need to beat those other charges and possibly get a recommendation to be released back out into the universe... which could probably be done within the confines of a timeskip without a need for Epix's involvement at all.

GM NPC SURGE

 

"I'm not about to get in the way of that," Surge said. "Just don't solo yourself into trouble. Oh, and by the way, we're on a planet that is full of villains, and we're trying to shut down a portal. Make of that what you will."


GM IC FRAVI (TALKING TO RENDER)

 

"Just kill the jerks." 


---------------------------------

 

Villain Profile: 
Name: Phanlax (plural)

Powers, Abilities, & Weapons: Phanlax are civilians...that can divide into up to 10 copies of themselves. These copies respond to voice commands from the original being...or anyone else who happens to walk by. Other than this, the copies do not have great intelligence. 

Appearance: These civilians have a blue stripe on the top of their heads to distinguish them from other civilians.

Bio: Phanlax were created by Mechna's government to handle routine administrative tasks. Their unquestioning obedience can be questioned by the central intelligence of the system, but rarely is out of fear...they don't know anything different. 

Location: Mechna's government center.

Villain/neutral-ish Profile: 
Name: Opiphex

Powers, Abilities, & Weapons: 

Opiphex has four additional retractable arms with various tools fitted to them. These tools include a laser cutter, omni-driver(Which is a screwdriver partially made of nanobots. It does bolts, screws, and can even extract stripped screws. It can open simple mechanical locks), a small welder/solder torch, and a general purpose sharp grabber thing with a magnifying camera on the end that can view in normal, thermal, or x-ray views. He also has an [insert HF version of usb] interface that slides out of one of the arms.

As for weapons, Opiphex carries an experimental blaster that has been "borrowed" from one of Hero Factory's subcontractors and upgraded by Opiphex. It projects a vacuum bubble about a meter in diameter. The bubble expels atmospheric oxygen, causing the target's components to fuse together.

Appearance: Opiphex is rather spindly, and reminds one of a spider.

Bio: Opiphex is pretty much harmless, though his blaster might suggest otherwise. He's pretty much a footnote under "common criminals" in the Hero database. He dislikes lethality, which is the reason for his blaster. He runs a little shop in the Grunge District that sells, buys, and upgrades interesting little gadgets and antique technology.
Location: Grunge District

 

OOC: Also, can I get a recap on what happened since the Beast thing?

IC: Shade - Astral

 

Shade exited the charging station fully charged, and made his way to the Mission Control deck to see if there was anything new afoot. As he walked in, he saw Zib and asked the poor overworked bot if there was anything Shade could help out with.

 

OOC: I'd have Zib respond myself if I knew what Hero Factory would officially tell an assassin to do on a job like this.

OOC: I don't know if this was missed or not. Either way, it was back on page 155 so I thought I'd better repost it just to be safe.  :)

OOC: I'll get on a summary soon, but before I do, can I ask about Opiphex's bubble gun? I'm just confused. It nonlethally fuses parts together using oxygen (or air?), is what I gathered. Is that right? How does the atmospheric oxygen fuse the parts? I assume it's on a small scale or doesn't affect power lines, since it's nonlethal, but I could be wrong.

 

To be clear, I'm not opposing it or claiming anything wrong with it. I like the character, I was just wondering about the gun's function.

 

EDIT: Summary: the convention blew up, Heroes all went back to Hero Factory because it was being attacked. It also exploded. Heroes fought bad guys in the ruins and got a cool new ship. A villain planet got sucked into a portal, so the Heroes went to help in their ships except for a couple who stuck around the ruins. The portal led to an alternate dimension, and was shut down with the villain planet and the Heroes in it. The Heroes are now breaking into a spooky lab in an amusement park on the planet (they were not aware it's a villain planet).

OOC:

This is actually the part of his profile I'm most proud of, and I've had the concept lying around for a while.

 

So basically, when you touch two peices of metal, the reason they don't fuse is because of the molecules in the atmosphere, as well as a thin oxygen layer. Without those, the metals fuse together in a process called cold welding. IRL we've lost  some space probes to it. Opiphex's gun removes the atmosphere, leaving the thin oxygen layer as the only deterrant to cold welding, and since said oxygen layer rubs off fairly easily, the constantly moving mechanical parts of a robot fuse together extremely quickly. It is a fairly niche weapon, but I really like the concept. A couple countermeasures would be airtight sealing, since the bubble only moves air, it doesn't magically make it vanish, or some kind of composite material that wouldn't fuse.

@SUmmary

 

 

So the villain planet is separate from Mechnas?

OOC: Except, according to a brief google search, macro-scale cold welding requires either an extended duration of time, or large applied pressures, in order to take effect. Opiphex's weapon doesn't seem to offer either of those things?

OOC: Oh, it does? That's a problem. Is the extended duration of time required to remove contaminant layers? Google's not really helping.

 

I guess if all else fails, I can change "Vacuum bubble" to "technobabble energy field"

OOC: Actually, the villain planet... IS Mechna! Dun dun dunnnnn

But seriously yeah I forgot to mention that. Also, @the gun, suggestion: replace with actual bubble gun. Watch others cower and beg for him not to get bubble mix in their eyes/optical units.

IC: FOCUS

DARK LAIR

 

Focus thought for a moment before replying, "it's not too much, but it's probably going to be quite complicated. I want him free of Hero Factory's programming, but not necessarily a villain; simply free to make his own choices, like I am. I'm a glitch in the system; however it happened, there must be some sort of flaw in my programming. I want him to have that same ability to choose."

 

OOC: Of course, Focus has not consciously acknowledged that murdering someone and then resurrecting them to alter their personality and way of thinking isn't exactly a "good" thing under any circumstances

 

tsk, tsk

IC Wolfe - Astral:

The veteran had considered following after Stormer and the rest of the Heroes, but that meant leaving the Astral with two, maybe three Heroes (at least to his knowledge) who weren't in the medbay for one reason or another. "Mission Control, I'm staying with the ship," he said over the comms, to which Helen gave a passive affirmation. 

With that, Wolfe climbed to the top of the ship and sought out a decent vantage point, and there he shifted his quiver from his back to his hip and pulled out his bow, ready for any threat that might set its sights on the Astral.

As he stood there, though, he couldn't shake the feeling that, somewhere, something dreadful was happening...

IC Flint - Collapsing Portal:

Flint grit his dental plates as the turbulence around LOIS worsened. It's just a rough spot, he told himself, trying not to think of the other possibility. The ship's instruments were practically screaming at him. 

Outside, the portal was warping and distorting as the energies that made up its entire structure were being drawn back to whatever the point of origin was. Flint poured on the acceleration until the wings and thrusters were creaking in protest. He closed his optics and waited a few tense seconds before everything fell utterly still and silent. Regardless, he continued to wait -- for how long, he didn't know.

...

Death sucks, he thought grumpily.

Then, slowly, he opened his optics and found himself and the ship sitting at the very edge of Mechna's atmosphere. Any evidence that there had been a portal was non-existent.

"Huh."

IC: Ferro and Gorn- Mechna

 

Ferro had followed everyone else into the lab begun sifting through the computer parts with two other heroes, until he remembered that he didn't know a single thing about computers.

 

Gorn; on the other hand, had decided to stay outside and guard the entrance, content with leaving the talking to his allies.

Fighting the urge to facepalm, Riot merely shook his head.

"Seriously though, I've survived having Epix for a teammate, so I'm actually not stuck on a planet full of Villains," he said simply. "They're all stuck on a planet with me."

Gyro helped with the halt and land, adjusting his blades accordingly. He grinned at Scarlet. "You've been flying through too many clouds, they're cloggin' up your audial units. Fishbowl said for us to scout and make sure bad guys weren't waiting for us up ahead..."

 

He glanced back, smile slipping a little.

 

"Uh... We might've overshot our mark a little. Maybe we should backtrack?" He perked up again. "I mean, that's the awesome plan we've got going, right? Ambushers never expect being ambushed! They probably wouldn't even know what to do if we spotted 'em and hit 'em from behind!"

IC Helen - Mission Control Deck:

A lightbulb flicked on in Helen's head.

She steepled her fingers and leaned back in her chair.

"Gyro, Kat," she said in a low voice over a comm channel isolated to just the three of them. "Don't move a servo... My scanners are picking up heat signatures on supposedly non-existent targets right behind you..."

There was, in fact, absolutely nothing on her scanners.

IC: Timothy Gyro - Big Brother Mode Activated

 

Instinct overriding Helen's instructions, he grabbed Scarlet and held her protectively as he fired up his blades, keeping them pointed at his would-be attackers. Because he was standing rather awkwardly out of surprise, his position made him a little unsteady on his feet, but so long as nothing startled him or set him off-balance- nothing like Scarlet's thrusters going off from surprise, for example- he wasn't going to fall over.

IC: Dorothy Quark and Eloise Thumper - Now For The Struggle Of Remembering What I Was Doing

 

Quark gave a snarl of frustration. "Thumper, block the door. I'm going after the ones already down the tunnel."

 

"Yes, Quark!" Thumper dragged a table over, still with items on it and ignoring the feeble protests of her little friends, and took a stance in front of the passageway, ready to grab armfuls of robot. Quark gestured to the doorway. "I want fast Heroes with me. Otherwise, you're watching the door."

 

She jumped the table and clunked down the passageway, blaster at the ready.

 

Thumper pointed to a little robot at random. "Better put down your tiny box, amigo, or I'm gonna give you one heck of a bear hug."
