USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT)- 'The Real'

Yes, I know. It's just weird that San, of all people...

No offense to Cloud, it's a drag that you died too, but your damage was getting up there...

Caught out in the heat of battle. It happens.

But as I say, anyone from the Percy could have pointed things out. I think half the people thought Ares' plan was happening. Lana didn't know Cloud had said to not fight, Cloud, I suspect, thought he was fighting with Ares' plan but I feel not many people really got the idea that Lana had vetoed that... It was all just a big big mess.

Gah, I don't want to feel responsible...I don't even know if I'm still alive yet...

Well, I hope everyone takes out from this that, beyond any issues of logical or strategic thought, the absolute most important thing is to have *A* plan that everyone agrees on. And to make sure that is so.

Because it goes to hell in a heck of a hurry if people don't actually know what's going on, with actually conflicting ideas. And it's everyone's responsibility to make sure.

"You can check on the others- they are through there," says Dallas, pointing towards the side of the ship.

Hawk, it is roughly at this point that you notice that the life signs on all of the Philo players are weakening.

-

Melis and Barb, there is the sound the electrical discharges as youy approach the mid-section.

Marduk is there. He is working on emergency generators.

"Captain!" Melis said, staggering towards Marduk with her broken leg. "Captain, you're alright!"

"Captain... these readings aren't good. ...I think they're dying!" He checks each of them, noting similar status on all.

Really don't have any skill for this sort of thing, but can I at least get more detailed information on the cause?

I'll head over to the operator desk and try to raise the others (although I have no idea what Dallas ment by that care to elaborate on it Ush?)
"You know me, Squidies just can't put me down Capt'"

[now about player's dieing, it's the most crappy part of roleplaying. However like Ush said if no one ever has a chance of dieing the game loses its edge and that makes it even less fun. What ever you'll know what to do Ush!]

(I think he means get a hold of the Percy, Fire.)

(thought so but I guessed they had another place -like the cockpit- for this kind of communication)
Anywayz I put on the headset and mic, flip on a few switches and start scanning communication frequencies. "Hello Percy! Hello Percy! Come in Percy!"

Then it hits me. "Does anybody know where Mors is! Captain?" I shout through the ship.

Any way for me to say dead and San to live?

Also, I'd prefer it if people didn't find my body...I have plans for that when I come to write it up 😈

Actually, Dallas meant get a hold of the Philo Path- the wreckage of the Percy is within sight of the Shez.

Still stretching this out, for Philo benefit. But trying to an gle back on the 'dead' bit.

There has to be consequences though.

(see Rex I was right 😛 😈 )
I'll call Azrael on his cell phone then.

(Yeah yeah, shush. 😛 )

Hawk- the medical computers say they are showing signs of infection.

Mors is laying, front forwards, on the ground on the starboard side of the broadcast area.

Nearby lays a dead sentinel, with one of its tendrils more or less inside Mors' chest.

The chest cavity damage is serious enough; Mors also suffered a heart attack during the electrical incident.

The sentinel's tendril has Mors pinned to the floor. Ares is currently in the process of seeing if the tendril can be unscrewed.

Fire- you don't have a great idea of how this stuff works, really.

-

"Hello," says a downbeat Marduk. "I'm glad you are ok. Listen, if I don't get these generators stable then in a few minutes we're going to lose broadcast and the medical unit. Which accounts for everyone else."

Ares works on trying to unscrew the tendril.

"Come on, buddy..." Ares says, working at the Sentinel's claw. "Stay with me, Mors. Just need to get this claw out, then you'll be fine."

While the shock of hearing that San and Cloud are in the intensive medical unit hits first, Melis forces it down for priority.

"Point me where I need to go and I can help," Melis said. "I have some technical know-how."

"Ares take care of him" At dallas "Sir Where the F is Ariadne?! I hardly know how this thing works!"

Dallas just shakes his head, and walks out.
