OOC:Natural talent, that guy. Although I am sorry. If you want, you can do a post inside the Reclaimer, en route to the temple.

OOC:Nice Portal 2 reference, PeaSam."'no more a real person that a machine.' Dr. Cyborg raised an eyebrow with just a touch of indignation."Nice, Jackson Lake!IC:"Well then, we should probably get to the real Maelstrom temple," Dr. Cyborg said.They quickly backtracked, made easier given that the boss had been defeated. They reached the outside of the temple, and surveyed the battle."Nothing will get us there fast enough," Katerina said."That is where you are wrong," Dr. Cyborg countered. He indicated a strange ship flying around the battlefield. He signaled it to land. It did, and they boarded. Dr. Cyborg fastened the belt to one of the hand straps hanging from the ceiling."To the Creation Temple!" he yelled to Kara. "It's the real Maelstrom Temple!" Even with the damper fields on, they could still feel the acceleration. Dr. Cyborg sent an AAB:The temple of Hotep III is empty!The temple of Creation is the realMaelstrom temple!Dr. CyborgThe ship landed ten minutes later. Everybody, even Lutsky, offloaded."Let's go," Dr. Cyborg said.

OOC:Okay. I just feel cheated, having maneuvered Dr. Cyborg to go into the temple, where he would be most useful, and it's the Temple of Creation.IC:"...under arrest," Dr. Cyborg finished. He was relieved. No earthquake had knocked him off his feet, stopping him from arresting Lutsky. He was supposed to arrest him.He looked around for something to use as handcuffs."Here," Lance said as he took off his belt. "Use these."Dr. Cyborg cinched the belt tight around Lutsky's hands."You will be held on trial for murder when we return to camp. You will tell us where your weapons are on your person. You will not try to escape. If you do, your sentence will be worse. Do you understand?" Lutsky sullenly nodded in the affirmative."Now," Dr. Cyborg said, "on to more pressing matters. Where is the true Maelstrom temple? It is most likely the temple of Creation, but are there any other temples in the area that could be a host?"-------------------------The Talon suddenly started falling towards the ground."Cortana, hold fire!" Kara said. She watched as it plummeted towards the ground. It broke apart into a thousand parts. "Like cheap *********(megabloks) on a kitchen floor!"

OOC:Was that the reason you wanted Catless to go with the main party, PeaSam? Meh. Can we please retcon so Catless is in the temple, or have her go there because she feels bad about leaving them, or something? Since Hotep III isn't the temple, I would like Catless in the temple of Creation, so I have a character in the real Maelstrom temple.

OOC:I am not resolving these problems, just giving a possible solution.Also, I am retconning the fuel rod cannon wait time from a month to three or four days, depending on activity of the ship.IC:"Cortana, I can't harm the Talon. What are the weak spots?" Kara said.Calculating based on bricks used, structual integrity, and clutch power. Ah, here we are. She brought up a building plan on the HUD and highlighted a few spots. You can hit the base of the tail, base of the rotor, or between the cockpit windows, Cortana said.Kara aimed the Cosmotronic Rays at all three weak spots, to no avail. "It's not working! Is there any other way?" Well, you could land the ship for ten minutes. "What good would that do?" Kara asked. That would allow me to jump-charge the fuel rod gun, giving a sufficiently powerful blast to forcefully disassemble the Talon.Kara landed, waited ten minutes, took off again and chased the Talon.Preparing to fire, Cortana said.--------------------------------"Well, that's just prime," Dr. Cyborg said. He looked around the room, then continued. "This is all we got for the price we paid. Now I really want my refund. This price was too high."He then looked to Lutsky. "Lutsky, I think I have the right and power to arrest you on the spot for murder.Former Commander Lutsky, on a charge of murder, I hereby place you......"OOC:Note, I did not destroy the Talon, nor did I place Lutsky under arrest. This is what Dr. Cyborg would do. To have Lutsky arrested, Cyborg must finish his sentence, "under arrest." If you don't want that guy, feel free to make an earthquake knock him down and stop it, or something.

Ah, okay. I didn't know.

If there is a general space RPG, then it will need to be on Earth for Alien Conquest to work.

IC: I have found a name for our ship, Kara's AI said."Oh, really? What?" Kara asked. The Reclaimer."Why that?" I found it in a popular book and video game series involving rings, powered armor, and the coolest aliens ever, like ones with four jaws, and others that are technological magicians."I'll have to look it up sometime," Kara replied.I have also found a name for myself.She broke off for a second as she shot down a missile tracking them. Cortana.

Yes. The Space Police could return to Earth and ally with the ADU. So, does that mean my RPG is approved, or almost approved?

Thank you Jackson Lake!

OOC:Two things:1. Yay! I'm a commander!2. Stupid guy! I had planned for Cyborg to sink to the bottom, but again, compromise.EDIT:Andrewnuv, there is a difference between ADU and ADO. ADO is the agents, ADU is tue Alien Defence Unit, which would be in my Alien Conquest RPG if it is ever approved.IC:Kara saw the helicopter get corrupted. She never knew such a thing was possible. I hope you'll never let that happen to me! her AI said. "Not a chance," she replied. She maneuvered the dropship to a position behind the Talon and fired.

IC:"Oh, meep." Dr. Cyborg backed away from the pool."Okay, everybody. I can extract the Maelstrom from that thing. However, it will take time. It isn't instantaneous. If you can distact that croc, I can dive in, strike and extract, retreat, let you distract it some more, and repeat. You stay up here, and fire at it. I'll dive and extract."With that, Dr. Cyborg backed away and did a repeated backflip into the pool. The croc rounded on him. Cyborg dived, and hid in the murky deep.At that point, the others on the ledge started firing at the crocodile, and he came to the surface snarling at them. Dr. Cyborg came up under him, and extracted a few quarts of Maelstrom. The croc attacked him, but he dodged the swinging tail, and submerged. With that prey gone, the croc turned again to the others. Dr. Cyborg came up again, and the process was repeated.Dr. Cyborg came up behind the croc a third time. He extracted a few quarts. He had now taken 2 1/4 gallons of Maelstrom, but the crocodile still had gallons of it in his system. When the crocodile turned to strike with his tail, Dr. Cyborg tried to dodge the flailing spiked tail, but whether it was the water's natural resistance, the Maelstrom in his system subtly influencing him, or what, but he was too slow. The tail struck his head, his weak point. His helmet protected him from anything more than a bruise, but the serious damage was done: he was unconcious. He slowly started sinking, unaware of his predicament.

Okay. Was this serious or sarcastic? Was Vakama the disillusioned guy who is being made fun of, Berix the stupidly honest guy being made fun of, or Mata Nui the gullible guy being made fun of?

OOC:Atton Rand, how can Pierce say he's not good at bowling if he also said he never tried it?

OOC:I'm not going to destroy that Typhoon, just scare it.IC:The Hybrid was coming back toward Kara. She was curious about that T-1, so she didn't waste time on finesse. She held the staff parallel to the ground in front of her, hands a shoulder's width apart on it. When the Hybrid was almost at her, she dropped to one knee and twisted the staff 90 degrees. The Hybrid broke his armor and impaled himself on the staff. She shook him off, and called her dropship. She climbed in, put the staff beside her, and put on her special helmet that turned the ship's chin gun in the direction she looked. She lifted off, and activated the radio."This is UlTech Dropship KW3853 calling T-1 Typhoon ZJ428603. Respond please.""Yes? May we help you?""Just checking on you," Kara replied. She could hear a hiss in the voice like the Hybrid she fought. "So you're all right?""Yes. We're all fine here. How are you?""Now I know he's lying," she muttered. She fired a laser round from the chin gun on the ship to purposely miss them.The radio projected a hissing, "What do you think you're doing!?" then an,"Uh, oh," as he realized he used his real voice.

OOC:I leave for a couple of days, and Dr. Cyborg gets into trouble. Brikman, what happened to Kara, and why was she fired upon?And that guy, Doc Cy wouldn't get mad at Dust and yell. He would just get curious/suspicious.IC:One step, two step, three step, stop! Dr. Cyborg found a pattern for this part of the room.He heard a cry and turned around. Andrew and Minerva fell through a hole in the floor. He decided to try to help when he heard a whistle and thought, Oh, no! The count! I waited too long! He tried to move out of the way, but too late. The hammer swung, hit him in the chest, and knocked him into the wall with great force. He got up, and realized, there wasn't a dent in his armor. "I'm okay," he called. "Not a dent. Whoever rebuilt me used some great metal alloy!"He continued using his strategy.OOC:PeaSam, I'm not leading up to the backstory I mentioned, I'm just establishing the strength of his armor. I've always imagined him like that.

OOC:Well, that's two patients. It's so nice to be needed.

OOC:Don't I get to extract? :(IC:Kara charged a Hybrid riding a T-Rex, firing her Gatling gun at it. The shots had no effect."Okay, new strategy," she muttered. She started firing at the ground beneath it. The Hybrid hissed, "What bad aim you have!"The bolts of sonic energy were not solid, but perhaps they were more useful for that quality. By now, the bolts had started to make the ground churn. Think of it as the world's most advanced Roto-Tiller.The ground was unstable beneath the T-Rex's feet; time for phase two of her plan. She summoned her ship with a beckon call, and directed it to fire it's fuel rod cannon between the T-Rex's feet. However, it "missed", and shot and killed the T-Rex! Her AI must be getting trigger-happy.The Hybrid jumped down, and swung its staff at Kara. She jumped back, and X2, occupied with another Stromling, tossed her his Magnaguard staff. She caught it, and blocked the Hybrid's next swing.OOC:Before cries of "g-modding!" ring out, let me explain tomorrow, I have to go now.EDIT:Okay, the cannon can only be used once in a month or so. The weapon has to charge, and sit and prepare. Kara can't use it for a month now.

OOC:There are other ways, you know.Ah, don't mind me, I'm extraction-happy at the moment. I just want to fix a named character that has existed for a few posts. I'm not going to make one of my own Stromlings, though. It's hard enough keeping my characters equal as it is.

Catless was having a great time. So far, only lizards and raptors were out and about. She had something useful. She would jump on a raptor's back, and get the other raptors and lizards to spit acid, claw, attack in various ways. She would jump off before they reached her, and the raptors would bear the brunt of the attack and go down. She would jump back on her Steel Sprinter, and find another raptor. Rinse and repeat.

OOC:Duly noted, and fixed.

IC:"Well, I have two of those covered already," Dr. Cyborg told Katerina. "But, I could always use more help."Katerina joined the party, and they continued on. "I am going to sleep. I have gone three or four days without it," Dr. Cyborg announced. "My robotic half will still function, however."As Dr. Cyborg drifted off, the last thing he thought was that he had stored a large amount of Maelstrom internally.He was back in his office in the Dino Island XERRD base. He was working on a formula to improve the Mutant Dinos even more when he realized something: this was wrong. This whole Mutant Dino apocalypse thing was going to injure and kill many. However, here the dream split from reality.Instead of deciding to destroy this, and leave XERRD, a dark thought came to him. If thoughts had color, this would be purple."You don't need to leave. None of this is your fault. Hey, it's kinda fun."Dr. Cyrista agreed eagerly, and the dream became a montage, minus music. He saw himself becoming ruthless and cruel. He rose in the ranks of XERRD for these great qualities. He became second in command. When Dr. Rex died, he bequeathed XERRD and all he owned to Dr. Cyrista. The Dino Attack ended, and XERRD won. This purple thought came again, this time telling him to execute the rest of XERRD and toss them into a pool of Maelstrom. Cyrista did so with glee. He "commanded" the Maelstrom, and conquered the LEGO Planet. He then conquered the galaxy. Next, the dimension. He finally conquered the world. He ruled as a god, with the Maelstrom, for it had revealed itself, as his weapon and advisor. Dr. Cyborg awoke with an anguished cry. Andrew asked, "What's wrong?" "Maelstrom-induced nightmare," Dr. Cyborg replied. He shot the Maelstrom out of his hands into a pool they were passing.OOC:The nightmare is about him seizing power. He doesn't take power, so him doing so is a nightmare for him. If he were promoted to Elite Agent, he would appreciate it, but he isn't going to try to take power. He joined XERRD for science, not for power.Try to find the joke I hid in this post, and also try to figure out why Cyborg is italicized at the end.

OOC:Well, it certainly was interesting to see from Cranky's POV. IC:Dr. Cyborg stopped for a minute. He pulled out his PDA and sent a message to Zach.All rivalries requiretrash talk, Zach.Your friend,Dr. Cyborg

OOC:Did I get Zach's personality right, Brikman?IC:The ape was distracted. Now's my chance, Cyborg thought. He somersaulted backwards into the temple, and ran to the team. Luckily, they weren't that far away.

OOC:imperial officer, I actually absorb Maelstrom, but I also had that idea.IC:As the Stromling Ape's fist came down, Dr. Cyborg in one smooth motion grabbed his laser sword from the left side of his belt with his right hand, swung it up, ignited it, and cut off the ape's fist."Heal that, Failstrom!" he yelled."Failstrom?" Zach asked. "Ooo, Doc, that hurt." He realized the joke he had made, with Cranky screaming in pain in the background. He doubled over with laughter, choking out, "That hurt. His fist cut off. Ha, ha ,ha!"By now, Cranky's fist had healed, and he started punching anew, Cyborg punching back."I could really use some help now," Dr. Cyborg muttered.
