Rise and Shine (Tier Zero Prelude, character building)

[Gatac]

"Meditating transforming war machines," Loco muttered. "Now I've blurrily seen everything."

[Valentina]

"Nah," Castle rumbles, "this is far less abstract. More like indexing a file, but without typos. Far better."

[RusVal]

"Well," Gator says, tapping his head again, "That makes things inconvenient."

Meanwhile, the techs and the doctor are moving around, doing things to beeping things, which seem to be doing things.

"Preparing for final scan," one of the techs says, and suddenly the beds start shifting around.  From the head of them then springs out some sort of full body scanner, which begins to spin around you.

"I don't think they will be a problem now," the LT says to Day, "You should go out for a Combat Decon."

"Great," Day says, picking up his helmet before heading for the exit, "I just hope I stop squeaking when we get briefed."

"Beginning final scan," the tech speaks up again, and the scanners start humming as they spin.

"Right, when that's done, lets get these guys up," the LT says, checking his comms, "transport's ready to get them out of here."

"Man, Ah'm wishin' I had more time to crack these guys open," Gator says, walking around looking at readouts, "I really wanna take a look at their sparks."

"Anything we should be worried about?" the LT asks, and Gator shakes his head.

"Just designed different th'n anything Ah've seen before.  Nothin' that can't keep fer later."

"Readings at 25%," the tech says, "looking good."

[Mister Andersen]

"I'm not going to stop with his hand."

[RusVal]

"I'm not going to stop with his hand."

Gator looks over to her before leaning over to one of the techs.

Gator: "Hey, who's hand is she not going to stop at?"

Tech: *Deadpan* "Manos's."

Gator: "Oh."

[OOC-Remember, he just thinks that SIL is suffering from after-waking jitters.  He didn't hear the part about breaking his hand.]

"Scanning at 50%, still no issues."

The doctor points at one of the readings.

"Keep an eye on that, might be EM readings from nano-machines," he says.

One of the techs shakes his head.

"Naw, wait a few seconds."
                                  44444444444444444444
"Oh."

"Yeah, I've seen scan glitches like that thousands of times."

*Hmmmmhhmmmmmhmmmhmmmmm*

"75% complete."

"100% complete.  We are clean and in the clear."

"Alright, people, let's get moving, these guys are wanted yesterday."

[RusVal]

[OOC- Psst, I think ya'll are supposed to be getting up]

[Mister Andersen]

[OOC I think we were all under the impresion that was the end of scene] [$IL] What the hell was that gibberish? Did everyone else see it? "About bloody time," Trinity says as she gets to her feet, taking great joy in once again removing the diagnostic tethers. She looks over at the two organic members of the party. "How do you even get around dry land, Physeter?"

[Valentina]

Politely waiting for the technicians to get clear so they're not accidentally squashed, Castle cheerfully intones, "I wasn't born ready, but I've picked up the trick as I went along" before looming erect, awaiting his next directive.

[MilitiaJim]

"Yesterday?  Not to be movink so qvickly, but perhaps alternate form moves faster?"

[Gl17c|-|]- What?  Gibberish?
[Gl17c|-|]- ...
[Gl17c|-|]- Hold one...

"About bloody time," Trinity says as she gets to her feet, taking great joy in once again removing the diagnostic tethers. She looks over at the two organic members of the party. "How do you even get around dry land, Physeter?"

Physeter appears to be in deep thought.  He might not have heard you.  Pepper waves a hand in front of him, before shrugging.

"There are a number of ways they can move over land, though..." Pepper reaches over and pulls out a wheelchair, "we're going to have to use the standard way today."

"Yesterday?  Not to be movink so qvickly, but perhaps alternate form moves faster?"

"There's going to be some driving to the exfiltration point, so you'll have plenty of time to test out your alt forms," the LT says.  Before he can continue, he gets interrupted by his comm.  He looks away, then looks back to the group.

"You might want to hear this," he says, before turning the speaker up.

"<-...Repeat, there have been sporadic reports of an anomalous non-communicator transmission.  To emphasize, there has been a transmission that was not over standard communication devices.  Until we have determined the nature of this transmission, the base is now on heightened alert status.  Keep all comm traffic to a minimum.  Tango Hotel Sierra travel is temporarily postponed while we assess system status.->"

"And the THS is where you guys are supposed to be going," the LT says, turning it back down, "They will probably want you there when it is back online, though, so we're still sending you there.  You'll probably have more of a chance to get used to your new bodies on the way."
