[25K Now!]

OOC: Wait, you've become a Brony? Oh god, we're all doomed.IC: Arkrak"In what way?"

[a goose]

OOC: What do you mean 'I've become a brony'?I've been one for ages, it's just that no-one's noticed me, thus my exception from BZP's official 'Brony List'.IC: Incommodo"The '...interesting...' way." Incommodo glanced around, nervously. It was obvious that he was trying to think of another topic for the conversation.

[25K Now!]

IC: Arkrak"Please elaborate," said the Toa of Sonics, voice cold.

[a goose]

IC: Incommodo"It was... interesting music, full of interesting-ness."

[25K Now!]

IC: Arkrak"Use another adjective Incommodo. One that is not neutral."

[a goose]

IC: IncommodoIncommodo opened his mouth as Arkrak said 'another adjective' but closed it as Arkrak said it couldn't be neutral. He stood, awkwardly, for a few seconds. "Uh... what do you think about grass?"

[25K Now!]

IC: Arkrak"It is green. Non-neutral adjective about my music RIGHT NOW."

[a goose]

IC: Incommodo"...Special?"

[The Mask of Ice]

IC: AMTaOS (w/Ckase) / Testing Facility Limits"Testing." was the response.> Base Security Activated> Active Set 5> Automated Set 4> Shields Set 10"Change all settings to 0, now. Your data storing purpose is about to come into effect."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

IC: (Ckase - Testing Facility Limits)> Active set = 0> Automated set = 0> Shields set = 0I punched in as told. "What's your name?" I asked out of pure curiosity. Edited April 5, 2012 by The Mask of Ice

[25K Now!]

IC: Arkrak"Still neutral. NON-NEUTRAL. ADJECTIVE. NOW."

[a goose]

IC: Incommodo"Can I look at a thesaurus?"

[25K Now!]

IC: Arkrak"Here," said the Toa of Sonics, handing the other being a thesaurus. "Make a decision quickly."

[a goose]

IC: Incommodo"Thankyou." Incommodo flicked through the pages, and made a little squeak when he saw the word he was looking for. "Spectacular."

[25K Now!]

IC: Arkrak"Why thank you Incommodo," said Arkrak, a creepily cheerful grin present on his face. "Anything else?"

[a goose]

OOC: You do know that 'spectacular' technically means that the object in question is a spectacle?IC: Incommodo"Um... nothing comes immediately to mind." Incommodo shrugged.

[25K Now!]

OOC: Yes.IC: Arkrak"Very well. What have you been doing since the crash?"

[a goose]

OOC: So, technically, he just used another neutral adjective. XPIC: Incommodo"Talking to Righty and Lefty, stalking Jikal, and occasionally wondering where you were."

[25K Now!]

OOC: One which leans more to the positive sides of things.IC: Arkrak"I'm surprised that you care so much for - wait, who in the name of Mata Nui are Right and Lefty?"

[a goose]

OOC: Actually, it's just that people consider it positive. That's why Incommodo thought he could get away with using it.IC: IncommodoIncommodo mumbled something.

[25K Now!]

OOC: Spectacles, despite being neutral, can sort of lean towards positive.IC: Arkrak"Speak up."

[a goose]

OOC: 'The massive, world-ending explosion was a spectacle'.IC: Incommodo"They're sock puppets."

[25K Now!]

IC: ArkrakThere was silence as Arkrak stared at the other being incredulously."What."

[Wotz]

IC (Citadel): Solia nodded to signify her readiness, as she couldn't speak due to a mouthful of pizza.

[Blessed Blade]

IC: Vorex"You saw an order given out for my imprisonment, with no evidence. I think that would be enough."But, if you wish, you can lock me away. But be warned: Once you have trapped me, I will no longer help you. If you leave, and spread the whispers to others, it is not my fault, for I did try to warn you."

-==IC: Zero//Detention Center==-"I was with you the whole time, and was wishing you to be arrested the whole time. I had evidence enough with my own eyes." Zero pointed out.

IC: AMTaOS / Test Chamber B3The room was nothing more than a spherical room. This one had a camera, yes, but no markings or anything. Just a square pedestal in the center, which was also the location of where the lightning was needed."Head over to the pedestal and place your hand on it to begin the test."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

-==IC: Kairan//Test Chamber==-Kairan nodded, and walked over to the machine, and then placed his hand on it.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

IC: AMTaOS (w/Kairan) / Test Chamber B-3The moment Kairan touched the pedestal, the floor of the room, save for a yard from the pedestal where Kairan stood, collapsed down, falling into an abyss below.The symbols on the wall were different - the Toa with the mask was there, but the other one wasn't a Toa creating something elementally, but firing a blast..."Ranged combat simulation test commence."Four gun turrets popped out of the wall, automatically firing. Maybe it was just blunts?A blast shattered part of the pedestal.Nope.IC: AMTaOS (w/Ckase) / Testing Facility Limits"Names are unimportant, but test subjects keep asking them. Perhaps I do need to capture a mute. Maybe she wouldn't be as annoying.""Now, here comes the hard part. Easy for you, you're a Toa of Data. Impossible for someone else. Just memorize what I say.

"Once you have done that, type in EXIT and I will allow you your freedom."OOC: Yes, that did take a long time to type up.IC: AMTaOS (w/Stronin) - Testing Chamber C-2The room up ahead was, once again, nothing but a chasm, save for at the very beginning, and towards the end. There were two buttons at the far ends, and two plates. To demonstrate their purpose, a robotic hand appeared and dropped a ball of metal atop the one plate, which sent it catapulting forward.There was a shimmering energy field directly in front of the far end, one on the side of each of the buttons, and one over the ceiling. There were only two holes in the energy field, and it looked like something placed on the plate of the proper weight would go through them and land on the button."Please try to solve this test quickly, it is incredibly simple."The symbols were of the Toa creating, and the Toa with the mask glowing.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Blessed Blade]

-==IC: Kairan//Test Chamber==-Kairan frowned, as he activated his mask... However, he generated four balls of lightning around his arms as he dodged the majority of the bullets thanks to his mask, and threw the four ballets at the four gun turrets... When they had reached the turrets, Kairan snapped his fingers, and unleashed the compressed lightning inside all four of them."... Well, the hint said about blasts; didn't say which kind."OOC: Been wanting to do that since the fight against Swerv over in Day Run. =) Finger Snap activation, gotta love it. =)

Then, I thought of how stupid that would be, being a person who usually conned his clients. I didn't really believe in karma, but I thought it plausible that the same could happen to me.

IC: Vorex"And yet you haven't locked me away. I surrendered myself. You heard me." Vorex smiled slightly. "Either you are intrigued by the whispers, or you are scared by them."

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

IC: AMTaOS (w/Kairan) / Test Chamber B-3The four turrets shut off immediately. One of them fell off, showing a passageway onwards, and a bridge raised so that Kairan could continue to it."Very good. You succeeded in completing the test in 3.21 seconds. That beats the previous record of 3.22 seconds by one one hundredth of a second. Proceed to the next test."IC: AMTaOS (w/Ckase) / Testing Facility Limits"Very good. Now lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides. Once you have assumed proper party escort submission position, please await a trained robotic drone to -"Some static." - transport you outside of the facility."-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Blessed Blade]

-==IC: Zero//Detention Center==-"Think again." Zero said, as he attempted to kick Vorex back, preferably into the cell that he had just about been ready to be put in before this happened.-==IC: Kairan//Test Chamber==-Kairan nodded, and ran across the bridge, and into the next hallway, and through that, into the next room.I wonder how many tests there are...?

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

IC: AMTaOS (w/Kairan) / Test Chamber B-4The transport was long and tedious, as it required working through a long, twisting maze of the halls underneath Techna. Finally, Kairan would come across a larger than normal door."Ahead is your final test before coming into the primary testing facility. You should be proud. You're the fifth person to make it this far. And nobody has made it past the next test chamber."One of the devices came from the left wall, with the arrows pointing to it. On the right wall was a huge '4', a Toa with his mask, a Toa firing bolts of energy, a Toa creating energy, and one showing a Toa sticking their hand into elemental energy.IC: AMTaoS (w/Savina, Tain, Lekar) / Test Chamber #3Once Tain crossed over the bridge to join Savina and Lekar, the voice came down and said, "So, do you accept my offer? Or do you wish to continue testing?"-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Blessed Blade]

-==IC: Kairan//Test Chamber==-"I'll take that challenge." Kairan commented, as he fired a blast at the device, and prepared himself for whatever happened next...

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

IC: AMTaOS (w/Kairan) / Test Chamber B-4The door slid to the side, and immediately a hammer swung down from the ceiling towards Kairans back!-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Blessed Blade]

-==IC: Kairan//Test Chamber==-Kairan, hearing the noise, instinctively rolled to the right to avoid whatever happened, and continued to scan the surroundings, to make sure that nothing else went oddly, and to find out what the rest of the target goal was.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

IC: AMTaOS (w/Kairan) / Test Chamber B-4The room ahead appeared to be another spherical one, with three doorways within. The only thing within was the camera... of course, that was probably going to change.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[Blessed Blade]

-==IC: Kairan//Test Chamber==-Kairan frowned, as he advanced toward the center of the room, and looked closely at the multiple doorways, though made sure to keep a cautious and safe distance, just in case.

[The Mask of Ice]

IC: (Ckase - Testing Facility Limits)I did as told, hoping that I wasn't killed as I lay face down on the cold floor.OOC: Is this a planking reference?

[Snelly]

IC: Savina - Testing Chamber #3 -Savina looked at Tain and Lekar, she'd go by whatever they decided, though personally she wanted to take the AI's offer, she was sick of these tests.

[Toa Levacius Zehvor]

OOC: No, it's a reference to the first Portal game.IC: AMTaOS (w/Ckase) / Testing Facility LimitsThe drone came as instructed, an eyebot with two arms attached, and said, "Thank you for assuming party escort submission position." It then attempted to grab the Toa of Datas shoulders in an attempt to drag him away.IC: AMTaOS (w/Kairan) / Testing Chamber B-4"Prepare for simulated advanced melee and ranged simulation combat test simulation."The door to the left opened, and from it rolled out a droideka foreign robotic entity, which quickly aimed its weapons forward. An electric shield appeared directly in front of it - one that would be capable of blocking lightning bolts or similar attacks - and it began firing laser bolts, two each, from both of its hands.-Toa Levacius Zehvor

[The Mask of Ice]

IC: (Ckase - Testing Facility Limits)I felt that I had no choice in being dragged away by some robot, being sure that it would kill me if I resisted. I didn't resist the pull, praying that wherever this thing dragged me, it would be out of here.
