Brotherhood of the Machine (OOC Thread) {03}

[Lisky]

the way i'm picturing it, the banshee is in front of, and off to the right of the top of the T, while the vans are actually forming the road block are off to the left and center of the top... the bottom is the brotherhood truck thing... i dunno what we want to call it... but yea, that's how i'm picturing it... 

[Arcalane]

Blargh. Sorry if my responses have been rather short and sporadic lately, I've been feeling a bit under the weather and I'm juggling various other tasks that are fairly time-consuming.

This is what I had in mind;



The green horizontal in this case is our armoured vehicle that cut the red vertical Brotherhood transport off, whilst the other vans are off to the bottom and I have absolutely no idea where the Banshee is... so yeah.

[techmaster-glitch]

Wait, Arc, did Exo climb on top of our van, or the brotherhood transport? Because Jexx is already on the brotherhood transport, and had to dash through crossfire to get there.

[Arcalane]

The convoy vehicle. He was in front of the cab prior, and simply hauled himself up onto the roof that way.

[techmaster-glitch]

Yeah, see, Ryudo was referring to the Brotherhood as a "convoy" too, which is why I specifically asked our van, or theirs.  However, I understand from context of the second sentance that you mean our van.

[Tapewolf]

Dorcan will be extremely pissed if Exo is jumping up and down on top of his van.

[Arcalane]

Then you would be wrong, since our vehicles are no longer forming an actual convoy.

Besides;

"...the bot advances on the cab of the convoy vehicle, trying to determine how to best go about opening it."

I don't think he'd have problems opening our armoured vehicle which he climbed OUT OF in the same friggin' scene. Nor can he teleport, so that kinda makes it impossible for him to suddenly be at the other end of the combat area with the other vehicles. Plus there's a whole mob of goons in the way, so it makes walking a bit harder.

[Tapewolf]

Who are we currently stalled on?  Dorcan isn't going to do much until he gets confirmation that (A) the Brotherhood goons are dead or (B) there are still some out there.

[Azlan]

Dun know, but I guess I should post something.

[techmaster-glitch]

Ack, just remembered something I was planning to post.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Fetrethar is kind of stuck in the box at the moment, unless something blew him out. I'm wondering though, if he gets out during the battle, that's one thing, but it seems more and more likely that he's only going to be released after all the fighting is done. Is there some way we can kill off most or all of the prisoners, or at least the ones that Fetrethar would feel loyal to?  They would complicate things for the character.

[Lisky]

well, the convenient plot point would be for them to be unlucky where the breaching charge was placed, metallic shrapnel and the concussion could kill of a bunch... more likely  they could panic when the team tries to let everyone out, or, the team could accidentally trigger some type of security system while opening the metal box, such as a gas where Fetrethar is high enough up that it doesn't kill him...  or something like claymores mounted in the corners of the room, Fetrethar could be in such a position that his clan leaders take the ball bearings instead of him...

[techmaster-glitch]

Notice: Jexx's drop into the van was indeed what I was planning most of this time

   Also, Ryudo, I'm leaving it to you to post and descibe what happens in Jexx's drop; as in, whether or not there really are any Brotherhood in the transport, and if so, whether or not any shots get lucky and hit Jexx anyway, and go ahead and auto him shooting his plasma back as he falls and lands.
   If there are not Brotherhood, just describe what he sees.

Also, in relation to offing some of the transports occupants, if any of them for any reason try to attack him, he will indeed respond the only way he knows how...Ooh, that's going to be fun to RP: Jexx explaining why some of the people they're trying to rescue are dead
"Hey, I swear guys, they attacked me first! What was I supposed to do?!?"
"Yeeeah...there were still some Hoodies in here, and these saps got caught in the crossfire, but it wasn't my fault! They didn't keep they're heads down!"
"Uh, they were like this when I got here. You know how the Brotherhood randomly executes people..."

[Ryudo Lee]

Sorry about my absence lately guys.  Life decided to sucker punch me these past few days, not to mention all the chaos due to the upcoming Mardi Gras throwing more monkey wrenches into the works.

[techmaster-glitch]

I'm gonna wait and see Corgatha post a reaction for Fet on a small, strange, shirtless, Superbunny-T-shit-made-into-bandanna-wearing, black-furred, glowing-red-tattoed, metal-limbed, cannon-handed person falling through the roof

"Ooo!  Lunch!"


**EDIT**

For Darkshine, Dorcan is standing next to his van if you want to talk to him.

[Lisky]

alright... i'll add that in

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

Sorry for the lame placeholder posts, I'm not really at my top form at the moment.

[Tapewolf]

I'm assuming they were issued some kind of basic medical supplies as part of the standard equipment.  If not, Dorcan's going to be absolutely livid when they get back to base, and I'll have to modify my post slightly.

[Arcalane]

I'm assuming (and have assumed the entire time) that the backup team had some medical staff with some good-quality medical supplies on them.

Also; the various descriptions of the interior of the prison vehicle are rather clashing right now. Corg's suggests there's a large open space with most of the clan members, whereas Ryudo's suggested individual cells.

[Ryudo Lee]

Yeah, individual cells.  I dunno where Corg got his idea from.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

nobody said anything about my first post....... way back here, last post on the page. So I assumed it was ok......

[Lisky]

well, easiest way i can think to solve this mess is to have the truck setup sorta like the main police station here (i've had to bail 3 friends out so yea, i know the layout) it's a hallway setup, were one wall is the sort of drunk tank/harmless collective and the other is set up as individual cells... if the "drunk tank" area was reserved for corgatha's group, and the idividual cells were setup for the "important" prisoners, then it'd fit both descripitions, especially if the middle area is actually something like a 1 way mirror...  if you want a rough blueprint, i can draw it out...

[techmaster-glitch]

Sorry I haven't posted sooner. For clarification, Jexx left the transport before Dorcan entered it.

[Corgatha Taldorthar]

*still would like to know if we are officially going with Basilisk's suggestion or if I have to rewrite all of my posts*

[Tapewolf]

That would be Ryudo's call.

Sorry I haven't posted sooner. For clarification, Jexx left the transport before Dorcan entered it.

Dorcan's still outside.  I think I'll wait for clarification before moving him in (also he's strictly waiting for Exo's word).

[Ryudo Lee]

I guess Basilisk's idea works.  It doesn't really matter what the inside of the vehicle looks like.

[Tapewolf]

I think I'm stuck waiting on Exo.

[Tapewolf]

I think Dorcan needs a little confirmation from Ryudo.

[Arcalane]

I think Dorcan needs a little confirmation from Ryudo.

I think we all do.

I think you think too much!
