Title: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on March 30, 2012, 01:51:51 am
Symbiosis

WARNING; PG-13+

Chris Johnson stared into the retina scanner, and the doors opened for him. Stepping into the CERN lab, he started to lay out the papers he had written that night, when he heard something. Or maybe felt would be a better word. He spun around but saw nothing. Then he crumpled to the ground, a bullet straight through his heart. A sound, an alien sounding scream of agony, came from his chest.

Some time later - it felt like an eternity  - he opened his eyes. All he could see was black. something’s not right... He tried to stand, and squished against the familiar material surrounding him. As what had happened dawned on him, he started spewing some choice cusses, picked up from varying languages throughout earth’s history. Dead. Someone killed me. I thought i didn’t have any enemies in this lifetime. Well, there’s always Jim from the LHC, but he’s not this crazy...... Approximating a sigh, he settled down and waited. About two hours later he heard the first person to see him. A girl, the receptionist. By the sounds of things she screamed until she fainted. More people came soon after, including several police officers. He kept hearing the word “suicide”... he let out a breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding when he heard the word “autopsy”. He was not looking forwards to having to eat his way out. While he knew many of his kind did, and he even had to once before, he personally found the concept disgusting. He felt his old body being picked up and presumably taken in a body bag. After they arrived at the destination, he prepared himself, detaching from his host’s spinal cord and preparing to leave the body. Once the autopsy started, it was a fairly simple matter for him to mentally divert the person’s attention away from his location between his now dead body’s lungs. A few hours after it ended, he slowly crawled out. His ten legs were weak, he hadn’t had a reason to move for decades. He hid in a dark corner and thought about his next action: find a new host.


--Five days later--

It felt vulnerable to be without a host. He liked being human. He scratched his carapace, which was starting to harden from exposure to air. If his potential host didn’t work out he’d have to find a body of water soon. He would much rather live in a human torso than a swamp, but his choices were starting to run slim.

There. Peering down from his vantage point on the ceiling, he spied his desired new body. Male, late 20s, in good physical shape, a scientist of some kind. He watched the man wind down for the night, and get in bed. A quick mental probe showed that he was indeed asleep. crawling down to be near the man’s head, he overlooked his new host. Quite dashing, actually. I’ll be sure to find some women with this one. Living as a human  for millennia had turned his mind mostly human. He had all the same urges and feelings as the average human, and most of his hosts had been male, so he had learned to appreciate the other sex very quickly.

He pulled back his arms and jabbed his frontmost two legs into  the back of the man’s neck, straight to his spinal cord. After about two and a half seconds, the first wave of sensory information flooded into his mind. doing his species’ equivalent of a smile, he entered the man’s dreams.

 --the next morning--

Tyler Matthews stood up and walked to the sink. The dream he had last night was bizarre. Yet somehow he wanted it.
He had been approached by a strange figure, who promised him immortality and the knowledge of the gods, and the price was so small..... .Something in his mind made him feel as if it were more than the average dream, and he instinctively knew he could trust this being with his life. He shook his head and splashed water in his face. just a dream.... But regardless of a dream or not, he couldn’t stop thinking about it, all day long. When he came home from work he flopped onto the couch and passed out.  He dreamed of the being again that night. It showed him wonders of the world he didn’t even know about, brought physics and geology and ancient history into perfect clarity. When he awoke he remembered it all. A  strange feeling in his gut, he went to the computer. He pulled up google and typed in a thought about particle psyhics he had floating around in his head, a thought based on knowledge from his dream. To his astonishment it was completely accurate. He spent the day researching things, amazed and slightly worried about these things, for everything the being in his dream had shown him was 100% true. And somehow, he understood it all. He worked in a biology lab, he had never had much interest in paleontology, string theory, or economics. Yet he knew it all. When he went to bed that night he was terrified, and excited at the same time, to see the entity in his dreams again. It took him hours to fall asleep. Once he had, he saw the distorted figure, that looked like a person made out of static and shadows, whom he had come to trust. After what felt like an eternity of silent eye contact he finally spoke. “w....... who are you?” The being looked at him with a humorous look in his eyes, and smiled. “my name is-” a screeching noise that sounded like nothing on earth pierced through his soul. Somehow Tyler didn’t care. “i can’t pronounce that.......” The figure let out an all too human laugh. “you can call me... thoron.” Tyler grinned. he felt completely safe, with this thing. He understood the joke. Thoron Decay was the first thing he had researched, the first hint that the being was real. “why are you here?" the being's smile decreased a bit. "I'm dying" Tyler stopped. it felt.... fundamentaly wrong that a being like this could, or would die. "can't you do something?"
"I am doing something."
"me?"
"yes you. ridiculous as it sounds, you can save me. and you will be rewarded. everything I have you will have. all you have to do is help me."
Though Tyler didn't now it, enzymes in the creature's claws were what was making him so agreeable. But at that point, even if the being hadn't been influencing him at all, he would have agreed.
"all you have to do is let me in."
"of course your-"
Tyler stopped in mid sentence, as a searing pain shot through his gut. He snapped awake panic in his eyes, as he saw a creature crawling inside of him. A second later he let out a bloodcurdling scream as the creature's ten pointed legs jabbed into his spinal column. Tyler passed out from the pain.


--the next morning--

They opened their eyes. the single mind of the new life form sat up. it looked down at its gut and saw a white substance filling the wound. already regenerating. good. It looked around, surveying the flat with new eyes. interesting......... it felt comfortable, familiar, but not quite home, not like it used to. He went to change to some fresh clothes, and stopped to survey himself in the mirror. The hybrid mind of Tyler and Thoron decided that his look would have to change a little. After getting dressed the hybrid went downstairs. I need to check back in at home..... he thought. Thoron's mind, being so much larger, older, and stronger, was a more dominant part of the new being created. Their memories had merged, as had their tastes, hopes, dreams, feelings, and everything about them. The duality that the new being felt - including which name it would use - would fade fairly quickly as everything sorted itself out. It happened every time. And every time it was time to move to a new host Thoron brought all the memories, the very essence of the host with him. He was, in a way, providing his host's soul with immortality. The merge was complex though, it left many things jumbled or inaccessible during the process, which could take up to a month. And while their minds were becoming one, so were their bodies. The symbiont would attach itself to the host's spinal cord, and tap directly into the central nervous system, essentially becoming a second brain. it would also tap into the circulatory system, absorbing nutrients from the host body like any other internal organ. Some of the symboynt's natural abilities would also extend to the host, including the salamander-like regeneration which was integrated into the DNA of the host.

As Thoron approached his estate, the front gate automatically locked. "[Access Forbidden, Unauthorized Human. Please State Your Business.]" A robotic voice spoke. Thoron chuckled. He always appreciated the fresh start that a new body gave him. He spoke a long sentence in fluent Demotic, a long-extinct language. The override code was acknowledged, and the gates opened silently. As he approached his house, he decided that he would have to renovate. Tyler had some very good ideas about architecture, they would have to be implemented. As he bypassed several more security measures, he groaned. It had taken a while to secure the property from the predecessor to his recently deceased host, when he died. And for good reason, the secrets hidden in the mansion out-valued the Smithsonian. As thoron's mind - for thoron had still kept the essence of himself, while tyler had mostly been absorbed - wandered, Tyler's feeling on vengeance surfaced. "of course i need to find my killer." he told himself, matter-of-factly. Walking into his armory, he picked up an M-16 and an aztec knife. "yes, i definitely need to find out who killed me." he said, a twisted smile crawling across his face.

Skrief:
Species: Human
Name: Daniel Smith
Profession: Student
Age:16
Appearance: 5'4", white, average-looking. Sideburns. Black hair similar to that of David Tennant's. Green eyes, glasses with photochromic lenses.
Style: Regular black trousers, sports shoes, plain looking one-colour t-shirts, wears a fedora often.
Bio: None
Extra Details: fears any unknown forces that may be manipulating life. Has an interest in the history of the world and an interest in maths.


Darth Rexus:
Species: Human, less so than others
Name: Viktor Wright
Profession: CEO of Infinitus Security (growing business)
Appearance: 5'9", Scandinavian. Medium body size and a scar running down the right arm. Short brown hair and no facial hair.
Style: Business suits on the formal occasion, and a collared and cuffed shirt with formal trousers on the casual appearance.
Bio: Born to a English father and a Swedish mother, Viktor was brought up on the outskirts of Stockholm learning of both his maternal and paternal cultures closely. As he grew his parents moved to Cambridge, where his father was a member of staff at the local University. He was to study at the local University when his house was robbed, his parents were away and Viktor was threatened with death. Surviving the matter with sheer mercy-begging willpower, Viktor decided on his new goal, Security. Viktor set up Infinitus Security on the principal of swift and merciless justice. Infinitus is currently based in the Swedish country due to pressures to leave the UK.


Flipz:
Species: Symbiotic Hybrid
Name: Regulus
Human Name: Amarus Zagrene
Profession: theoretical physicist, nobleman.
Appearance: Pale-skinned,  just over six feet tall, with messy brown hair and an omnipresent smirk, Zagrene's other features are fairly nondescript.  Whether this is due to actual bland appearance or Regulus' tendency to vanish from others' memories remains to be seen.
Style: The most stylish dark crimson body armor chestplate money can buy.  Regulus has made modern armor fashionable--a good thing, considering the high lethal turnover rate for personnel at his facility.  He wears sleek, dark blue slacks, with his I.D. and a few other implements hanging from his belt.
Bio: For decades, perhaps centuries, Regulus has been pursuing perhaps the most dangerous and insane scientific goal ever known to intelligent life.  For the past six generations, however, he slowed his research, and chose to remain within the male line of a single noble family, one he named "Regulus" in honor of himself.  When his most recent host was killed, his son was still too young to safely join, so instead Regulus selected his former host's closest friend, a writer by the name of Amarus Zagrene.  As guardian of young Arthur (and as specified in the late Lord Regulus' will), Zagrene is considered a full-fledged member of the noble family and retains the title of Lord Regulus.


Blade:
Species: Symbiotic Hybrid
Name: Omega
Human Name: Kaze Hikari
Profession: Vigilante, CIA
Age (human): 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: Kaze has brown messy hair, and dark green eyes typically. He is approximately 6 foot 1, and usually has a neutral expression. He usually wears a black t-shirt with a green and blue stripe, along with blue jeans. Kaze also typically wears glasses, even though he has no need for them.
Other: Omega allows Kaze's personality to be in control for most of the time, a rarity among symbiotes, however, when needed, he will take over. This is typically signified by Kaze's eyes turning a reddish colour, along with potentially Omega tossing the glasses to the side, not caring if they break or not. Kaze is also a part of the CIA, which is partly how he has been able to keep the rest of America from finding out too much about the Symbiotes.


Truth:
Species: Human
Name: Illia Menis
Gender: Female
Profession: Hacker
Age: early 20s
Appearance: Average height, with blue eyes and hair (dyed, natural colour is brown). Her clothes are a big tip-off that she's a nerd: her shirts all involve either Star Wars, Star Trek, or say something in binary. She has no sense of style and often wears horribly mismatched clothes, such as an orange shirt with green-and-purple polka dotted pants.
Other: Illia has a very odd accent that nobody has been able to identify. She refuses to tell anyone about her past.


Species: Human (Probably)
Name: X-2
Gender: Male.
Profession: Unknown. Probably a spy.
Age: Mid 30s, most likely.

A man walked in, and sat down.
"Hello, Mr Wright.  My name is Tyler Matthews, I've recently inherited an estate that's in need of new security. Ill be using most of the existing security features, but you present many new security measures that i'd need installed, expecially the bioelectric feild scanners. It is a very large estate, the cost to me would be well over a million dollars which is why I was sent directly to you."

He looked Viktor in the eyes. "I want only the best."

OOC: straightforward, rich, and more than a tad eccentric. Not too far from the best kind of customer, eh? :P


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Darth Rexus on April 03, 2012, 02:34:26 pm
OOC: If he as a nemesis out to kill him, even better :P

IC: "And I will only offer the best, for the best." Viktor got up from his chair "Tell me, do you have a reason for this kind of protection?"


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 03, 2012, 04:17:23 pm
"The estate came with a large collection of valuables. Much money, valuables, heirlooms...... even some artifacts. I don't trust banks. "
*Pause*
"I am not a person to use trust lightly. A loaded gun or a knife on your person, just in case -provided you can use it- is always safer than going around naked to be stabbed in the back.  Before you call security I was already checked out by your guards, I'm clean. I wish you no harm, just your best technology...... and that means no security personel."


 OOC: trying to pique his interest in me accidentally. Me meaning to without my character meaning to. Just a slightly wandering mind..... but very carefully picked out sentences.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Darth Rexus on April 03, 2012, 04:38:51 pm
"I hope these valuables are not too cheap..." Viktor began pacing around the room "...I understand a majority of my costumers like to keep their business more... silent? Shall we say?... I understand you could be one of them, how do you propose we install security?"

"I want you and your most trusted men there. And im willing to pay. Name your price. Money? Gold, diamonds? Any relic, any civilization, any era. "

Post by: Darth Rexus on April 03, 2012, 05:02:35 pm
"Money, cold hard cash. I'm not in it for intelligence or any other in-direct way to power." Viktor stopped "Unless... you can offer me power?" Viktor gave out a short laugh and continued pacing


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 03, 2012, 05:07:20 pm
Tyler laughed. "that's one thing i can't part with. to me, knowledge is power. knowledge, gut, experience..... in here" he touched his forehead and chest with a finger as if he were about to do the sign of the cross

"so it depends. what sort of power do you want? i can't give you authority. but there are other things i can give you. choose your next sentence very carefully. no takebacks....... greenbacks? diamonds? knowledge? trade secrets? a chance to learn form history? take your pick"


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Darth Rexus on April 03, 2012, 05:12:52 pm
"If you manage to... remove... any opposition to my business and perhaps, perhaps, give me a little more knowledge of how to kill, you can consider yourself debt-free." Viktor leaned down on his desk "And I don't take any stupidity or bush beating, you know what I meant by remove and I want it done."


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 03, 2012, 05:16:18 pm
"you heard what i said. my power is knowledge. give me knowledge on these people and i can make things happen. but make sure you use the right power or the wrong things can happen."

.....

"and thank you for not probing. there may be trust between us yet."

Post by: Darth Rexus on April 03, 2012, 05:20:10 pm
"I will have plenty of time to extract any information I need out of you yet, I'm not done here." Viktor walked over to a large file cabinet and pulled out the top draw, flicking through the files he found 4 of particular interest. "I want these companies removed, I don't care how it is done, but make sure it is messy enough to discourage any further opposition and clean enough to not point to... murder..." Viktor passed the files to Tyler.

"this is an awfully large price for a security system, Victor." he chuckled. "be lucky I enjoy using my knowledge of the world or your request..... may have offended me."

OOC: you're gonna have to do something here. :P powerpoint presentation, wikipedia page, something. :P

OOC: Powerpoint presentation? S=Secure E=Electronic C=Costly U=Uranium-Free R= Reasonable I=Imagination T=Towering Y=Yellow? :P

IC: "I realise I've been selling you the price, not the product. I'm sorry... I normally have a Marketing Team for this..." Viktor sat down again and opened his laptop "Ah, here we go. Infinitus Security, the final word in clean and effective security." Viktor laughed "I hate that line. Infinitus was founded on the basis of swift and harsh Justice dealing in security measures ranging from the pain-inducing Infinitus Metal Detector and Bullet Stormer to the more casual bodyguards, which can also be used for pain." Viktor stopped "Am I selling it to you?"


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 03, 2012, 05:40:31 pm
"much better. though perhaps you are undervaluing what an operation like this will take...... not that i mind, but if you take this much from your other customers i'm surprised you have as many clients as you do." he looked victor in the eyes. "you have a very respectable setup here. i would enjoy seeing it become more powerful. but you, as a person, have much to learn. i will do the jobs you requested. but please, don't think you are in charge of me. i could cripple you as easily as help you. previously i couldn't have cared less about your industry. now i'm involved, curious.... invested. you are providing a service to me, in exchange for a test. do not fail, victor, alright?"

"the second i leave these halls the wold could be pointed at you. i am unarmed. i have done nothing but speak. for all you know i could be a plant. Grenthor would like to see you go down, wouldn't they? It doesn't take a fool to know that you have been running checks on me from the second i walked in the door, having information fed to your earpiece. I am but a simple biologist, am i not? yet....... i know you have a safe behind that painting. 5 cameras, 3 hidden very well. tranq gas and darts on the first, second failed attempt? you told your guards it had gold bars in it, i'm guessing nothing that valuable. the automatic guns built into the doorframe are much more lethal anyways....... You may want to question..... kevin? the one with red hair. get him some better training or fire him. poor fool doesn't know what he's doing here. certainly won't know what you're talking about when you confront him." he paused to look victor in the eyes again. "knowledge is power. and i can see straight through your eyes into you. you betray yourself."

==Viktor's office==
At that moment, Viktor's phone began to ring...

==Roughly a century ago...==
Arthur Regulus II stepped unsteadily out of the tunnel.  The lift had been running far too often recently--the project down here would surely be brought to a screeching halt soon.  Unacceptable.  After all, these were the men who had come closest to reaching his own goal, and without their knowledge, progress would--

That's when he saw her.

Flowing, ginger hair, the pale blue jacket, that unmistakable walk--aside from the missing coat, every detail was perfect.  It had to be her.  There was just one problem...

Ten years ago, Regulus had watched her die.

[TWO DAYS AGO]

Daniel Smith woke up from his sleep. Still early. Nobody else awake. His heart was beating rapidly. His neck, irritable. Abnormal. He got up. He felt his neck. Nothing abnormal. He turned around, and then, he learnt the universe was a much bigger place than he thought it was.

He contained his terror, he slowly reached for a weapon. Anything would do. Anything. All he had acquired was a mop. He bashed what he had saw several times. It seemed to have no effect. He thought of something else. His gaze never left it as he put on his clothes, reached for his fedora, put on his glasses, put several things inside his school bag and finally left his bedroom, his gaze no longer upon the creature. Needless to say, he would not go to school that day. Too shocked, too terrified. It tested his mind to see something beyond his imagination. So he ran away, in fear.

OOC: We need more people, I think.

[LATER THAT DAY]

Tyler leaned back in his train seat. They were halfway through Germany now, on his way back to Ireland, where his estate was.

He had surveyed the room closely earlier, but he was now starting to sense that the teen sharing the seating row with him was much more anxious than he looked. Expanding his mental senses a bit he found that the kid was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Not being able to un-feel the strong emotions, he decided to strike up a conversation and find out more. Knowledge is power, so let's get a little more. he thought.

"so, where're you headed?"


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 03, 2012, 07:23:02 pm
IC:

"I... I don't... I don't know. M-maybe somewhere here. Maybe anywhere. A-a-anywhere where there are no... things... about. This world, this universe, it is much bigger than I can imagine. W-w-weird things are out there. It's... it's... it's a terrible thing."

The adult Daniel was speaking to probably thought he was crazy. He changed the subject to something else. History, maybe.

"This... this place has very interesting h-history... d-dictatorships, n-nazis and whatnot... I... I was studying them... but I have no reason to now. Not... not like this."

Despite being surrounded by what he thought were mostly humans, Daniel could not get the anxious out of him. There was something off. It was probably nothing, but a changed view of the world sticks for quite a long time.

"ah yeah, i remember that...." he said, reminiscing. "so you're running away then?"


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 03, 2012, 07:31:03 pm
"I am running away... took a lot of money without permission, but because I'll need it. No place to stay, so I have to rely on cheap hotels, cheap restaurants, whatever I can do to not look too out of place. I'm not sleeping in the streets. And wait... what? You remember history? Surely you can't have been there. I'm going to assume you mean remembering learning about it in history class, or something similar."

Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 03, 2012, 07:38:48 pm
"I don't really have a favourite era, but if I had to decide... Early 1900s. Or maybe at the very beginning of civilisation. The earlier, the better."

Daniel yawned, and scratched his neck. He had not slept since the day he ran away. He had to be alert.

"From a thing that nobody would imagine, a thing that does not seem native to this world. It seemed so alien. And there's probably more of it. Like a pest that feeds on humans, except bigger than a mosquito. More terrifying. Simply looking at it almost drove me insane.

*several hours later*

Tyler and Daniel took a cab from the train station to a medium sized house. "Is this your place?" Daniel asked. Tyler laughed and scanned his palm on the wall. "this is my garage." he said, one wall folding up to reveal about 20 parked cars. "its a hike to the main house, i figured you'd rather drive. Do you drive?"

IC: Viktor leaned back on his seat, after his meeting with Tyler he has been a little on edge. He'd known people like Tyler, he knows how to deal with them and dispose of them, but he was different in almost every way. Viktor woke up from his day dream with a shock and picked up the phone.

==Viktor's Office==
A man's voice, cold by choice rather than nature, rang out from the phone.  "You are the CEO of Infinitus Security.  MI5 are complete idiots, the lazy contractors they hire could be replaced by wet tissue paper and it'd be an improvement.  You will rectify their error.  This is not a question, it is a statement of fact; I do not work with anyone less than the best, which is why you were selected.  Money is not an object.  Meet me in three days at the address you will recieve by email in thirty seconds, come in an unmarked vehicle.  If you are followed, you will die.  Drive yourself personally.  Are there any questions?"

==Roughly a century ago==
It was odd to sense the thoughts of a dead woman.

Regulus knew it was unlikely that she knew anything of substance about the project--once he had worked out that she was but the hapless, subject, that became clear--but it worked, blast it, and every scrap of data was worth whatever price he had to pay.

*BANG*

Apparently, this time it was his life.

Regulus calmly looked down at the blossoming crimson stain that spread through his shirt where his chest used to be.  It was riddled with bullet holes, from tommy guns if the weapons carried by the suited, fedora-donning goons surrounding him were any indication.  Easy exit, then, he wouldn't have to chew even if they did something foolish like dumping the body in the river.  A bit early, but I would hardly say unexpected.  Indeed, this one lasted me far longer than I had planned, given the circumstances.

The last thing Arthur Regulus II saw was the face of a man standing behind the ring of Family goons...a face he hadn't seen for ten years.  Just the man I was looking for...

Later that night



Tyler showed Daniel to one of the guest rooms. As he walked inside Daniel realized it wasn't a room as much as a small apartment. It had a bedroom with extravagant bathroom, living room with impressive entertainment system, and a small kitchen. A closet even had its own clothes washer and dryer, everything was done in a vaugely steampunk style
"I'll let you know when dinner's ready. Any requests?"

"Indeed I have a question..." Viktor held the phone away from his mouth and chuckled "...Who wants you dead?"

"The future." *CLICK*

==Roughly a century ago==
"No, no, take him to my laboratory.  Something is not right here."  Minutes later, Regulus felt his former host's body dumped unceremoniously on an operating table.  He could have easily broken through the swiss cheese that had once been his host's chest, but that would be insanity--there was no way this could possibly have gone better.

Well, aside from the dying part, but that was easily rectified.  He settled in and waited, taking the opportunity to regenerate and organize his latest host's memories.  Life was so...chaotic, he didn't understand why the rest of his kind were in such a rush to take on their new form.  Just a few carefully timed delays, and all that they wanted would be dropped in their lap.  Regulus chuckled softly at the irony of that human metaphor, considering he currently didn't have a lap.  Such is life, he thought.

Hours later, Dr. Allen walked purposefully into his lab, and saw what would have been the most memorable sight of his life--were it not for the razor-sharp claws that plunged into his spine moments later.  A few minutes work--and the not-so-good doctor left his lab nonchalantly, completely unaware of just what had transpired.

Right, Regulus thought.  The other half will be on the surface...time for a new host, I think.  I do hope my son's staying out of trouble...

Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 04, 2012, 07:34:37 pm
After some searching Daniel found a teenage girl's blog from a couple years ago. She described something similar happening to her at a Florida hotel. She described terror, and then as days passed it turned into a hesitant fascination. There was a small gap between posts , and then her entire demeanor changed. She still acted like the same person but something had seemed to have fundamentally changed about her. It was like she matured two decades in a day. Her grades skyrocketed and her social life dropped off. Blogs from her became more sporadic and eventually stopped.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 04, 2012, 07:37:34 pm
Daniel felt a shiver run through his body. From what he could deduce, something similar happened to this teenage girl, except slightly different. But he still had to search more. This girl did not seem to share the same level of terror he had.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 04, 2012, 07:44:01 pm
Following links and leads around the internet, he eventually came to a website featuring cryptids. Amongst the photoshopped creatures, hazy outlines, dogs with weird haircuts, reflective eyes in the dark, and deep see invertebrates, he saw a cruddy cell phone picture of almost exactly the creature he had seen.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 04, 2012, 07:47:40 pm
Daniel gained a very small of amount of hope as he viewed the image. Perhaps the person who took this image was as terrified of it as he was. Notably, this  cell phone image had only been uploaded a week ago. Perhaps he could somehow contact the uploader of the image.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 04, 2012, 07:51:04 pm
The image was linked to a Facebook account. A Bryan Francisco from Colorado. The account was locked to friends only, but there was an adress in the location field.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 04, 2012, 07:53:11 pm
Daniel wrote down the address. He would need it later. This 'Bryan Francisco' seemed like someone that he could completely and fully trust, despite never having met him or talked to him in any form.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 04, 2012, 08:01:36 pm
Further research on Bryan turned up a rarely used twitter feed, where he mentioned starting to go to sleep and seeing the creature, which then ran off. He managed to get a picture as it ran off. He also mentioned the feeling of extreme terror, but chalked it up to Entomophobia. A later post mentioned that his girlfriend had convinced him to get the house treated for centipedes, and one of the latest posts said he had been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder .

He was not able to find any more information on this man


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 04, 2012, 08:03:05 pm
After not being able to find out any more information on Bryan Francisco, Daniel decided to search more for what he had seen two days before. Hopefully with different results this time.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 04, 2012, 08:08:59 pm
He found a young child's drawing of the creature some time later, posted on the mother's Google+ Though done in crayon, it was fairly accurate. Apparently the child had seen it by the parent's bed. The child did not seem phased but the parents had freaked out. The mother's (Julie Davis) picture, phone number, and email were there, but no address, only the location marked as Ontario.

Daniel yawned while reading. It was about 1:30 AM.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on April 04, 2012, 08:10:28 pm
Daniel wrote down the details, as he had done with Bryan Francisco's address, and turned off the TV/Computer.

He entered the bed, and tried not to worry too much. He needed the sleep anyway.

It suddenly strikes Tyler that the coat of arms is like looking in the mirror--for the symbiote, anyway.  It's stylized, and could pass as a dragon or a reptile of some kind, but once you've seen it...it's unmistakable.

OOC: That was kind of hilarious, Daniel should have vaguely recognized it, I meant it to be blatantly obvious to Tyler.  Next time I should probable PM about stuff like that. XD

The coat of arms belongs to an English noble family, one that is disproportionately influential for its small size and (lack of) notoriety.  The name is Regulus...why does that ring a bell?

==Roughly seventy years ago==
Arthur Regulus III broke into a cold sweat.  Hawks' execution date had been moved up.  That never happened to politicians; their time of punishment always seemed to move backwards.  Regulus cursed himself for letting his guard down.  They obviously do not want me to finish the equation, even an unstable form of it.  He marched down the hallway at top speed.  Bullets ripped through him, but they weren't even close to vital organs, and most of them healed quickly.  Still, he was losing blood, and if--

I'm here.  As Regulus approached his destination: the execution room.  The chair had been set up, the audience was here--a quick psionic touch to each ensured they would not remember anything they saw once they left--and there was only one thing missing: the disgraced Prime Minister.

Regulus cursed.  Where was he?  As he peered into the sealed room, he saw the body of a guard on the floor, behind the chair.  The chains had been snapped.

Regulus whirled--*THUNK--then blackness.

The Lord of Regulus was from the 19th century until 2006 the hereditary holder of several covert scientific facilities located on English royal land.  It was held by the descendants of Arthur J. Regulus, Duke of Regulus.

The title has been considered controversial since its conception, though its very existence is scarcely known outside of the top-secret intelligence communities, and the few other noble houses with which it has occasionally interacted.

As Lord Regulus, it is a subsidiary title of the Dukes of Regulus.  It is one of the few dukedoms named for its for its founder rather than the location of the dukedom[citation needed], most likely due to the highly sensitive and secret location of the facilities formerly under its control[citation needed].

Table of Contents [show]

In 2006, MI5 confiscated almost all public records on this noble house[Source?], leaving only information on the ancestral lineage.  The exact dates, locations, and means of death for the Lords of Regulus have all been obscured by some form of damage to the original records[1], which some[who?] claim to be evidence that the house is involved in some sort of illicit "dirty work" for the British nobility, or even the Royal Family itself[citation needed].

The current Lord Regulus is Amarus Zagrene, a writer and friend of the Regulus family[2].  He inherited the title after the sudden death of the previous Lord Regulus, Arthur J. Regulus VI, in 2006[2], as Regulus' son is too young to inherit the title[3].  The full contents of the late Lord Regulus' will are considered classified by MI5[4][dead link], so it is unclear whether or not Zagrene will surrender the title to the young Arthur Regulus VII when he comes of age.

Regulus awoke mere minutes later, but by then he knew he was already dead.  Indeed, Hawks had produced a shiv and was busily cutting up his host's chest.  A pity, but it would have happened sooner or later.  At least Hawks has been kind enough to give me direct access to himself.

"Quickly, Hawks!  Get it out and kill it before someone sees!"

OK, that was an unexpected complication.

As Regulus felt light strike his true body, he heard the voice address him directly.  "Hello, Regulus.  Making things complicated for our kind as usual, I see."

Hawks whirled in surprise.  "Your kind??"  It was exactly the sort of opening that he shouldn't have given the symbiote.  In a flash, Regulus had clamped on to the man's spinal cord.  Under the symbiote's control, he hurled the shiv into the chest of the man who had been speaking--the guard Regulus had assumed Hawks had overcome.  He heard the alien screech that meant he had mortally wounded his counterpart.  "Stupid, stupid, stupid," he said through Hawks to the dying creature.  "I won't make that mistake again."  Feeling Hawks' attempt to reclaim control over his body, Regulus quickly extracted the thoughts he had been seeking for the past three decades, then, for good measure, had the man snap his own neck.  Detatching from the man's spine, Regulus crawled toward the nearest air vent, and from there, out into the bog surrounding the place.  A few days of patience, and his next host would be here to pick up his predecessor's body.  He would once again have human form--but this time, he'd be careful.  This time, he'd be ready before he made his next move--no matter how long it took.

In downloading the HTML, Tyler also gets the edit history.  It seems the same anonymous user repeatedly deleted large portions of the article whenever they were written (and somehow managed to wipe the information itself off the edit history), campaigned repeatedly for the total deletion of the article, made sure it was never indexed and remained orphaned, and filled the page with [citation needed] tags.  Oddly, he'd never been banned for this behavior.  Clearly, someone didn't want anyone elst to know about this family.

Aside from the news article--from a rather oddball, tabloid-esque source, at that--alleging several deaths at secret labs under the dukedom of Regulus, there were the cited sources for the Wikipedia article, mostly official records with missing details.  Arthur Regulus VII had a Facebook page and a Twitter, but no contact info on either and nothing out of place for a teenage boy, aside from a few questionable choices in film and magazine tastes--you suspect he may bat for more than one team.  There is a mention of record that Zagrene and the boy had attended the Royal Wedding, but the only photo shows the boy alone.

Digging a bit deeper, you manage to find a phone number for one of the laboratories--hopefully, MI5 isn't monitoring you now because of that.  A (highly illegal) search of that facility's phone records indicates just one call in the past month--to Infinitus Security, about a day ago--at the exact time you were in the CEO's office.

"Sir, there's a call for you."

"Put it through, put the laboratory on low alert.  Then, clear out your workspace.  You're fired."

"..."

"Is there a problem?"

"...no, Lord Regulus."

"Good.  Get out of my sight."  Regulus signed.  Zagrene's body was good at that.  Still, his fairly anonymous looks were serving him well.  Perhaps if the boy doesn't work out... But there would be time for that later.  He looked at the caller I.D.  Head of MI5.  Interesting.  Clearly, either they had suddenly become competent, or there was a serious breach in security that allowed them to get it.  He decided to bank on the latter, and quickly began formulating a plan to flush out the leak.  He picked up the phone.  "Hello, idiot.  I hope you're not calling a number I distinctly remember never giving you just to wast my time with your usual pointless drivel.  I've got a meeting on the other side of the world in two days, and I have to spend that time figuring out exactly how to tell this consultant everything he needs to know without telling him anything he shouldn't know."  That last part was a lie, a simple mind-rub would be a trivial thing in case something went wrong, but even the Queen's own security team did not know the true nature of his existence.  Even within the royal family, those who knew the truth were few and far between.  **** it, he was doing it again.  Narrating his own life.  The perils of merging with a writer...with effort, he dragged his wandering mind back to the phone call.  "I don't appreciate being interrupted, especially by an incompetent fool like yourself.  Do you remember 2006?  How many more like that since then, hmm?  A man was killed, a man I was closer to than you'll ever understand."  In more than one sense.  "It's been six years, and with all your resources you can't catch a single killer?  And now, three more of my staff are dead." Eight, if you include the five candidates I was researching.  Hopefully at least some of them really were of his kind, he'd hate to see their knowledge vanish forever.  "Know this, fool.  Until you catch this sonofa***** and bring him to me so I can personally execute him with my own personal flair, this will be our last conversation.  Now, what did you think was important enough to disturb me."

OOC: I decided to change the original version of "execute him with my own personal flair", it was VERY graphic, far too violent even for a PG-13 rated RPG. ;)

Tyler smiled. very interesting. Glad im recording this. Guess im winging it tho.

Sounding exactoly like the real director (whom he know personally) Tyler responded "I don't really care what you think, the facts are the facts. And something new has come up, that I know is related. Of course, most wouldn't believe what I found out, but what your crest means is no secret to anyone here, ill leave it at that."

Regulus froze.  He quietly pressed a button under his desk, one that one of his more paranoid previous host had had installed.  Perhaps he should listen to that part of him a little more closely in the future.  "It does, does it?  I wonder when you were approached about it."  The way he said "approached" would leave no doubt as to what he meant, at least to another of his kind.  "If what you say is true, then you now have even more reason than I to want this monster--not dead, but alive.  You know as well as I that the dead cannot suffer."  He paused for effect--something he had picked up from his host.  It occurred to him that he had probably said more than he should have, if the director was not, in fact, joined to a symbiote like mihself.  He would have to work on suppressing this host a bit, lest his melodramatic tendencies get them both killed permanently.  "If you think you are truly...suited...to the task, you may call the constellation."  He hoped this symbiote was old enough, and experienced enough, to know of the practice of converting stars to numbers...and to know of the constellation noticed only by his kind, and perhaps the few who had seen them.  A message to the world, hidden in plain sight...and potentially, too difficult for the director to solve.  A symbiote stupid enough to choose that idiot as a host--clearly a sign of inexperience.  He decided to drop another clue.  "If you are...unprepared...but still have our best interests at heart--" Nice implication of common interest, he thought idly, I should use that in a novel "--then I may allow you to hold my coat.  Have a nice day, sir," he finished, his "farewell" dripping with venom.

He sat back in his chair, brooding.  Worst case scenario, he's not one of us, and I have to somehow murder the entire upper division of MI5 and wipe out the computer databases for the past three months--there was no dangerous data there last time I hacked.  Best case scenario...I'm dealing with an inexperienced rookie with a bad taste in hosts, who is in a prime position to accidentally expose us all to the most dangerous people on earth--the covert intelligence community.  And I won't be able to insult the director anymore.  He sighed once more.  Neither scenario really appealed to him.  He hoped there was a third option.  "Jarvis?"

A young, thin, light blonde-haired man, not much older than Zagrene but with the voice of a 60-year old, walked in.  "Yes, sir?"

"Trouble," Regulus said in Demotic.  "Someone not only found the line I used to contact Infinitus, but MI5 got a hold of it, and the director knows something.  About us."

Jarvis inclined his head before replying in the same language.  "Shall I cancel the Colorado meeting?"

"No.  But have people posted.  Even if Infinitus has betrayed us, there is no way he could know about us...unless..."

"[Regulus' true, unpronounceable name]?"

"I have to check something.  Get me Infinitus' CEO's visitor list for the past three days."

"Yes, sir."

Half an hour later, Jarvis returned with a partial list of the past 24 hours' worth of visitors, promising to bring the rest in later.  Regulus began Googling them...


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 05, 2012, 07:25:08 pm
Tyler looked at his phone in mild annoyance. That had completely confirmed what he thought, Regulus was a Symboyant. And, if he had played his cards right, he would be on a wiled goose chase. Still.....

He quickly got online and checked what there was about him online. A simple biologist, nothing more. However, the inheritance of a massive irish estate from a CERN scientist to a distant relative (him) was in one local news site. He ran an app and the site went down, while a computer virus strong enough to take down DARPA chewed through their servers. He then jumped into the UK government's site and created a new alternate identity for both him and Daniel.

Regulus swore.  One of the people whose names he had from the list had shown up in a news article...but before he could read it the whole site went down.  He quickly saved the other, more basic info he had on the man.  Yes, that fits...biologist, late 20s, good-looking by human standards... "Jarvis!  I found something!"

Jarvis rushed in, trailing papers from an opened folder.  "Sir?"

Regulus switched to Demotic.  "This man...Tyler Matthews...he's our leak.  Either MI5 planted him there, to spy on us, or he's a symbiont."

"Or both."

Regulus scowled.  "If that's the case, then we may have to kill a lot of people to protect our kind."

"To preserve our secret?  Sir, if he IS a symbiont like us, why would he expose us?  He'd expose himself, too."

"Maybe that's what he wants.  Or maybe he's got some way of staying hidden, while he gets the rest of us killed."

"...killed?"

"Yeah.  I seriously hope the guy's just a freelancer, trying to get by like the rest of us.  But if he's working for MI5, and feeding them info, then he's the guy who killed all of them."  He gestured toward a board on the wall, the kind used by police to mark the location of crimes--in this case murders.  Chris Johnson's photo was among those pinned to the board, at the CERN laboratory where he'd died, but Regulus paid little attention to it specifically.  "Get Matthews' photo and the director's to our boys.  Have them whip up a few tranqs with the special sauce, tell 'em to tranq 'em on sight if they come anywhere near Colorado while we're there.

Jarvis nodded.  Then, something came to him.  "Sir, what if Matthews is dead, and his symbiote is the one controlling the director?"

Regulus snorted.  "We don't even know if the director IS one of us, yet.  But if he is, then it can't be Matthews'.  Matthews' symbiote has developed human tastes--"

"Like you have, sir?"

"Stuff it.  I don't feel like having that conversation again right now.  Anyhow, he's got human tastes, which means he'd never in a million years pick an ugly, unlikeable slug like the director.  No, they may or may not be working together, but even if they are, they aren't one in the same."

"Yes, sir.  I'll get these to the team right away.  And sir?"

"Hmm?"

"You aren't looking well.  Two hosts in six years...well, it was hard enough keeping the project running when your last host died.  I'd hate to see it die completely if it happened again."

"Jarvis, why do you think I'm trying to catch this b******?  If he goes free, I'll be next."

"Well, don't do his job for him.  Good night, sir."

As Jarvis left, Regulus sat back in his chair and sighed, putting his hands to his face and rubbing his forehead.  Inhaling deeply, he pulled a chrome-plated Android phone, the one whose number matched the puzzle he had set the director, from his desk and set it on top.  Then, he sat back in his chair.

And waited.

Tyler threw a passport on daniel's bed and looked him in the eyes. "You are now Carlos Adama, age 18, from Spain. I am your uncle Greg. You have lived with me since your parents died in a car crash last year, and work in my bakery on weekends, which recently suffered from a fire. There is evidence to back this up. The gas company is to blame. We are using the settlement funds to go to disneyland before rebuilding. I have claimed a twitter account in your name with some details of your new personal life. You do not exist online otherwise, nor do i. Memorize the information in the account if you want to stay safe. Any questions?"

A young man walked through the busy streets of a city in Colorado, ignoring the fact that people were trying to push him out of the way, as they hurried off to where they needed to go.
Don't they realize there are more important things? Kaze thought, as he sighed, and then continued down the street, even as his eyes flashed red for a brief moment, and he smirked oddly, but when his eyes flashed back to green, the smirk vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

OOC: Quick question, it possible for Kaze to be some sort of agent...? Government agent, to be specific...? ... Ah, what the heck, I'll just say it: CIA. =P

Kaze walked into the building, and walked up to the security guard on duty.
"Mornin'." Kaze stated, as he flashed his badge, and was subjected to the typical metal detector sweep, which detected the authorized knife he carried on his leg, but nothing important other than that. The guard didn't say anything, though, because he was used to the typical fight about that by now, and simply didn't want to be bothered with going through that again. Kaze then picked up his briefcase again, and headed up toward his office, where he was going to wait for his mission, as usual.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 18, 2012, 08:31:01 pm
Kaze walked into the director's office as he did every day, and sat down. She looked at him with colder than usual eyes and put her paperwork in a drawer. he caught a flash of the name "Infinitus" on it but nothing else. "Hikari... yes...."

"i'm not going to beat around the bush Kaze. We've received word from a trusted contact that you've been selling us out to the Chinese. Other than you and me, i have told exactly two other people." Two high-level agents stepped into the room. "While I figure everything out..... we're transferring you to a secure location. for your safety." One of the agents grabbed his upper arm.

OOC: this will make little sense unless you've seen Knight and Day. if you haven't.... go see it :P now.

"What? But... This isn't... I'm not..." Kaze said in shock, and then closed his eyes, and his demeanor then shifted.
"For my... 'safety'?" Kaze asked coldly, his eyes still closed. When he opened them, however, the irises were blood red.
"No. I think you mean to cover up your own problems." Omega stated, and looked at the two agents with an unamused look on his face.
"I ask you to have your personal brutes unhand me now; otherwise, they might be the ones who you should be considering, safety wise." Omega warned, the hint of a smile on his face.

"You're threatening me. Fair is fair." Omega said with a shrug, and then smiled, as he body slammed the agent to the right, and then quickly drew his own gun, and aimed at the other guard, and fired at his shoulder.

"No. See, I said for you to let me go, but you ignored me. But I'm not going to kill you. That would be just playing into your hands." Omega said, and shot the other two agents once more, even as he took off his glasses with his spare hand and crushed them, tossing the remains to the side.
"Don't try to look for me, either." Omega stated, and then slammed the end of the pistol into the Director's face, and began to walk out of the room.

Omega smiled, as he ran forward, and dove to the side, barely dodging the brunt of the bullets, as he shot at the SWAT agents quickly. Omega noticed one near him, and then shot him first in the knee, and then in the face, and took his weapon, as he ran behind one of the pillars quickly.

OOC: Slight god mode there, but I figured this would be the best way to start things off, by getting out of that elevator. xD

Omega fired off shots at the SWAT team, even as he ran to the next pillar, aiming for their heads, due to them wearing body armour.

"And who would 'they' be?" Omega asked, as he fired off a shot at another SWAT who was brave enough to try and go around the pillar after him, even as he moved closer to the entrance by moving to another pillar.

Post by: mtmerrick on April 19, 2012, 03:02:18 pm
As kaze came into view of the front door, he noticed the large SWAT vehicle outside, mostly empty. ""CIA, FBI, NSA, DIA, CSIS,  MI5, MI6, let's face it, you're a threat to western civilization." the bulky swat officer said, and aimed his semi-automatic rifle at Kaze's chest. "that said they don't mind too terribly if you come back dead."

OOC: yes, you're wanted worldwide now. :P SOMEONE (not me, its a secret) convinced them you've been selling secrets to the chinese. the director did mention this.

"Ah." Omega said, and ducked behind the pillar.
"Did anyone happen to give any, you know, reasons for this? No-one actually told me anything, just started shooting." Omega said, muttering the last part mostly under his breath, as he looked back at the van, and smiled.
Maybe I should just drop the act and show off now.

"No; you're the traitor, for blindly following orders. There's a traitor among you." Omega said, as he ran toward the next pillar before the other was destroyed, and dove behind it quickly, even as he looked to the entrance to see if it was worth it yet.

Kaze was now very near the door. he then saw many of the swat officers pulling out what appeared to be heavy-duty grenade launchers. not a design he had seen before, and definetly not regulation.

This is just not my day... Omega thought, as he tumbled through the glass doors, and out onto the sidewalk. Omega quickly flipped forward, and jumped to the side, so as to avoid any more of the unusual grenades.

Omega, however, whipped around and slammed his other elbow into the officer's face, and clicked the other pair together without being locked to anything; effectively just having an accessory to a metal bracelet.
"What now?" Omega asked, as he kicked out at the officer quickly, and then ran toward the other side of the van.

Post by: mtmerrick on April 20, 2012, 02:07:18 am
As he ducked behind the truck, a grenade hit it. he peeked back around and saw the lead officer smack the shooter in the face with the butt of his gun, saying something that looked like "don't shoot my truck"

OOC: OK, guess Tyler decided not to call Regulus. :P  Rexus needs to get on so that Regulus and Viktor can have their meeting in Colorado.

Gosh, we're going to destroy this place, aren't we? :P >:D

-==IC: Regulus==-
Regulus stepped off the plane, the rest of his team deploying behind him, with Jarvis following at a safe distance.  They could have easily taken out these obnoxious American transit security personnel, but his credentials remedied the situation without the need for bloodshed.  Contrary to popular belief within the circles that thought they knew him, Regulus wasn't a particular fan of violence; while he by no means shied away from it if it was the most effective means to an end, he certainly did not seek it out.  Bodies were difficult to properly dispose of, and even when the job was done correctly, pesky forensics investigators had an annoying habit of picking up on the smallest details.  He admired them--many of his best hires used to work in CSI units--but he had to be very careful to keep them out of the way.  He added "convenient human remains disposal" to his mental list of side projects, though considering that several of his predecessors had faced the same problem and lacked the spare time to remedy it he did not hold out much hope that this host would live long enough to solve that problem, either.

Reaching the specially-constructed, armored and secrety armed car, he stepped inside the back and allowed his team's second-in-command to enter the driver's seat.  Looking over, he watched as Jarvis and the team commander, respectively, entered the other two similarly-equipped vehicles in the cavalcade--no sense losing all of the top personnel if one vehicle was hit and somehow damaged or destroyed.  Sitting back, he relaxed as he awaited the procession's arrival at the rondezvous point.

OOC: Tyler has vague ideas about what Regulus said, but he doesn't know enough to fully decode.

IC: Tyler rented a car and they drove to an outskirt of San Diego. He pared in front of a nondescript house at the end of a culdesac and got out, letting himself in. "C'mon" he said to Daniel, and walked to a closet. Opening the door revealed a large safe that took up the entire closet. He put in a 64 digit long code, and it opened. Wordlessly Tyler took off his shirt and slipped on a bulletproof vest, then put a plain black tshirt on. He then strapped a gun holster to his back (http://www.survivalsheath.com/holsters/images/newchest.jpg) and one on either side of his chest (http://images17.fotki.com/v529/photos/1/1042511/8698888/Holster-vi.jpg) thtat were the same exact color as his shirt, then zipped up a hoodie over it. He also strapped a large hunting knife to each lower leg, underneath his pant legs, and tugged on fingerless gloves with carbon nanotube knuckles (http://origin.kaboodle.com/hi/img/b/0/0/153/b/AAAAC3heupwAAAAAAVO7_A.jpg?v=1304964041000)

He tossed all of the same items to Daniel, explaining "My own special version of dragon skin (http://www.pinnaclearmor.com/body-armor/dragon-skin/). You can take a point blank ak-47 to the heart while wearing this, and just get up and walk away. with the gloves, a well-placed punch should be able to crack a man's skull pretty badly. any questions?"


OOC: Daniel also notices a faint horizontal scar across the top of Tyler's gut.

OOC: Wait, are you guys in California or Colorado?  I thought Colorado was first?  Because Regulus needs to snoop around CERN if we're at California, and I need to do background research to in order to do that. :D

Post by: mtmerrick on April 21, 2012, 03:36:21 am
OOC: LA is home of one Infitus Security's biggest competitors, that's why we're here. I promised Daniel that we'd swing by Colorado afterwards to try to help him uncover the symboyiants - and Tyler has his own reason for wanting him to find out. Anything else that happens there is pure.... "coincidence"

EDIT: wut? o_O CERN overlaps the french/Swiss border.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN)That's in Europe. Colorado and California are in north America.

OOC: :facepalm: I assumed you were going to California because CERN was there; chalk it up to a Californian assuming everything with "C" in the name refers to California. :[  So, Tyler has business with both Infinitus AND their biggest competitor? :confused:

To clarify further: I thought Tyler wanted to visit CERN to investigate his last host's death. :P

Omega was driving through the city, trying to drop the CIA and SWAT tails, and eventually noticed a limo heading through the city. Omega shrugged, and swerved around the limo, in an attempt to have the agents shoot at that vehicle instead...

"I wasn't really all that interesting until recently. Wrote a few stories for kicks at one point, got some training in different styles of combat to help write them too."

Alexa and kaze sat inside Al's Pancake World, eating. Kaze had a burger, and Alexa got Chow Mein. Pancakes were not on the menu.

The Tv in the corner of the room was playing the news, a story about a stolen SWAT truck and an escaped terrorist named.... Kaze Hikari. Alexa watched it, intrigued.

OOC: holy cow, 5 pages?!  :o Sheesh, now I have to figure out what I'm doing, I wanted to get Regulus caught in that chase...  ::)

EDIT: Idea.

==CIA Headquarters==
Investigation Report 89906-FV47[REDACTED], Section 29.42.3[REDACTED].991
Location:
Interrogation Room A113
Subject: High-speed chase, Colorado, unknown highly-armored motorcade containing heavily armed attack team.
Interviewee: One fair-skinned male, British accent, nondescript appearance.  Refuses to give name when questioned.

"That should be one extremely ******-off fair-skinned male, British--"
"He talks."
"Of course 'he talks,' I'm not a mute."
"Care to tell me how--"
"Dark iris, reflection, I have good eyesight.  Anymore pointless questions, or have you authenticated my identification?"
"You still refuse to tell us--"
"Dark jacket, expensive, breast pocket, behind mini-taser.  Same thing I told you when you brought me in.  Did you authenticate it yet or not?"
"Sir, I'm not at liberty to discuss--"
"Fine then.  I'm not at liberty to speak to you until that's done."
"*sigh* Would my own credentials work?"
"Probably not high enough clearance."
"I see."  The silence loomed, when there was a tap on the window.  An agent leaned in with a file for the interviewer.  "Thank you, Shaun.  So...Mr. Zagrene--excuse me, 'Lord Regulus' is it?  You'll have to forgive me, I'm unfamiliar with the protocol for addressing British nobility."
"Obviously."
"So, Lord Regulus, care to tell us why you were driving a heavily-armed tactical strike force on American soil, into the middle of an active CIA pursuit of a known terrorist?"
"I assume those are my credentials?"
"Well...yes, but--"
"And whatever pitifully inadequate files your CIA has attempted to gather on me?"
"Mr. Regulus, surely you understand that I can't divulge the exact nature of classif--"
"It's Lord Regulus, and as an intelligence agent with the files right in front of you, surely you understand that I cannot divulge the exact nature of the Queen's secrets to anyone, for any reason at all."
"I see."  The room dropped back into uncomfortable silence for a moment.
Regulus sighed.  "In the interests in expediting the prompt immediate release of myself, my men, and our files and equipment, and as a show of good faith, I will reveal that my team is not involved with the renegade.  We had dealings of a sensitive nature and happened to get in his way."
"All right, I'll take that into consideration.  Anything else you can tell us about Kaze Hikari?"
Regulus started to shake his head, but then stopped.  These people may be useless, but considering current events at MI5 it would be prudent to consider potential allies, just in case.  One could never be too careful.  "A hunch, a completely random one.  I've been tracking a series of deaths, both at home and abroad, that have piqued my suspicions as to being interrelated.  All of them have been scientists, exceptionally brilliant individuals, ones I myself had been tracking before their deaths, for reasons you are neither cleared to know nor capable of understanding.  As I understand it, this terrorist posesses notably more than the necessary skills to plan and accomplish these murders."
The interrogator rose.  "Thank you, Lord Regulus, we'll look into that.  Any names in particular we should look in to?"
"No, but stay away from Chris Johnson and CERN.  My people are already on it.  If we require your assistance, we'll contact you."
"...We'll consider your request, Lord Regulus."  As the investigator opened the door to leave, an agent outside gestured subtly to him.  "Ah--It appears you are free to go."

Regulus pushed past the investigator, reclaiming his jacket and briefcase from Jarvis, who was waiting dutifully next to the agent.  As he slipped his jacket on, he reached into an inner pocket and pulled out a tiny electronic bug.  He surreptitiously dropped it onto the investigator's digital tablet.  Half an hour later, while Jarvis sat in the other vehicle, calling Infinitus and the Regulus offices to inform them of the cancelled meeting, Regulus had opened his own laptop and hacked in to the CIA database.  He pulled the records on Kaze Hikari, and all associated aliases, then disguised and buried the info within the CIA database, to be restored when needed at a few simple keystrokes.  If this man wasn't a terrorist, then he'd make a bloody fine asset, and if he WAS the killer...then Regulus would deal with the man himself.  "Kaze Hikari..." he murmured...

IC: Tyler and Daniel arrived at a hotel just outside of disneyland, late at night. "we have passes, its an alibi." he explained, and then went to check in. he came out a moment later and showed Daniel their room. A medium sized room, two beds, a bathroom, a TV, and a small kitchenette. "early day tomorrow. Can you be up at 5?"

-==IC: Regulus==-
As Regulus looked over the CIA data on Hikari, he overheard Jarvis and the squad leader chatting over the radio.
"So, Jarv, where to now?"
"I'm not sure, General, we have to get our affairs in order.  We've just gotten out of CIA custody after all, it'll take time to get rid of all the bugs they undoubtedly planted, and see how much of our stuff they've tampered with.  Where would you recommend."
"..."
"...General?"
"...Strap in, boys, we're going to Disneyland!"  The men of the strike team cheered, while Regulus just rolled his eyes.  California.  A bit out of his way, but then again, as he had no business there, his enemies would have no reason to target him there.  It would be a good place to plan and reassess.   "Very well, General.  Jarvis, I presume the private jet is fueled and waiting for us here?"
"It is."
"Excellent.  Prepare for immediate departure.  We should be in California in just a couple of hours."

==Six hours later...==

It was just after one in the morning, local time, and for once the city of Anaheim was restfully quiet.  No chance of that tomorrow, he thought irritably.  General Carter had wanted to stay in one of the actual Disney hotels, but both he and Jarvis had decided to book rooms at a Best Western instead so as to attract less attention.  Upon seeing the size of the suite, Regulus began to have second thoughts.  Perhaps General Carter's idea would have been better after all.  He would make do.  "I need to go get some fresh air, be right back."  Walking down to the lobby, he decided to play the part of a tired businessman, and picked up a cup of complimentary coffee in the stereotypical styrofoam cup and the day's newspaper.  He already knew all the news from his own digital feeds, but the paper allowed him to appear to read while actually watching the people around him.  I don't get to people-watch much these days, I'm sure my infiltration skills have suffered for it.  I'm fortunate this host enjoyed theatre before I joined him.  He scanned the lobby, his host's artists' eye picking up those who appeared to be out of the ordinary...

OOC: so, wait, NONE of us knows OOC what the CIA would know IC about Blade's character, including Blade himself? XD

-==IC: Regulus==-
Regulus almost choked on his coffee.  Either I'm hallucinating, or the universe has a supremely twisted sense of humor.  And considering that Zagrene had already built up a resistance to most hallucinogens by the time I found him...  He walks up to the reception desk, careful to keep his face out of sight of the security cameras.  He knew they had seen him on the way in, but he hoped that between his anonymous looks and his own...unique...abilities, no one would be able to notice him asking awkward questions.

"Excuse me, miss" he said, flashing his credentials--they were diplomatic rather than investigative, but there was no way of telling at a glance, "that man that just walked by, what room is he staying in?"
"Which man, sir?"
Regulus pulls out a wallet-sized photo of Tyler, from a few months back--the same photo he had given to his troops in case Matthews had decided to crash the failed meeting in Colorado.  Could he have been the one the CIA was after?  The CIA and MI5 don't particularly like each other, but they work together anyway, so if he was an MI5 plant, they'd have no reason to...  Regulus' symbiont circulatory organ skipped a beat.  Oh, no.  Oh, ****.  Oh, ****.  ****!  "Miss, I'm afraid it's extremely important, for matters of international security."  Adding a mental push that served to loosen both her reservations about cooperating with him and her memory of him, he continued, "It's also quite important that this man, Tyler Matthews, does not know that the authorities are after him."

OOC: IIRC, a hotel clerk who finds out a client is using a false name will tend to side with the authorities.  If Regulus gets a false ID of Tyler's great, but what he really needs is a room number so the two of them can talk.

Post by: mtmerrick on April 28, 2012, 06:21:54 pm
OOC: sure, why not? Also, a profile allows for backstory and potential for character development, which is always good.

Regulus irritatedly prepared to give the woman a mental shove, when General Carter emerged from the elevator.  "Sir?  We need your input on the...operation."
"General, ah, good you're here.  Would you mind explaining our authorization?"
"Ah...of course, sir.  Ma'am, we're dealing with a sensitive situation here--"
"--Involving known terrorist--"
"Ah, sir, is she cleared--?"
"I spotted one of his known associates in the lobby."
"Oh...Ma'am, for matters of national security, it is imperative that you--"
"General, please, just show her the authorization papers, we don't have time to waste explaining."
General Carter showed his British military I.D. and the papers that allowed his unit to operate within the United States, under Lord Regulus' orders.  Regulus tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for the clerk to cough up Matthews' room number.

Dismissing Markswood as too close of a name change, Regulus decides to head to rooms 103 and 137 first.  "General," he said quietly, "you, Jarvis, and two of your men get dressed in something casual, and keep an eye on the rooms I've pulled up here.  If you see Matthews try to leave, stall him and click the push-to-talk twice.  I'm heading to Room 137 now, have Jarvis take 213.  You take 463, and your men can handle the other two.  Be casual, alright?"

Regulus walks up to Room 137 and listens at the door, hoping to overhear some clue as to whether or not it was Matthews inside.

You hear yelling between a man and a woman, and you catch the word divorce



-Gregory Adama, room 213

you hear snoring and muttering about laundry

After posting guards to room 103 (just in case it wasn't a Call of Duty tournament), Regulus begins to head for Room 463.  Just then, Jarvis approaches him.
"Sir, Room 213 is all quiet."
"General Carter reports an odd, repeating track  in 463, I'd say that's pretty--"
"Matthews wouldn't know you were coming.  Especially if he's following us."
"Great minds think alike, I see."
"Take 263.  Clear the guards off the floor, I'll cover you from the end of the hallway.  If he is one of us, only we can know."
"What a bout Carter?"
"Keep him busy.  That 463 disturbance should do the trick."
Regulus nods.  "Right."  Waiting for Jarvis to retreat to the end of the hall and pull out his handgun--a small model with a top-of-the-line silencer and a prototype magnetic accelerator--Regulus knocks on the door of Room 213.
I hope we're wrong about him, Jarvis thinks to himself.  I haven't had the need to test this thing out for the past 20 years.  I'd hate to have to prove it useful.

OOC: Gun's for flavor, to show the kind of lateral-thinking technology Regulus roduces for a living, in all other respects it's just a gun. :P

Meanwhile, General Carter knocks on the door, opting not to say anything and let his military demeanour do the talking.

A crazed looking man with bloodshot eyes opens the door and literally throws a 3 year old at the general, then slams the door. The child looks up and starts babbling at him about toontown.

Regulus steps back from the door, then calls the General.
"General?"
*child's babbling*
Regulus hangs up.  "He's fine.  That wasn't the room.  Let's assess the situation...this is the most "normal" room...if Matthews is in there, he's got a teenager and possibly a child in there with him."
"Sir, perhaps we should have our men move in on Room 103?"
"Do it.  Go with them.  I'll stay here.  There's just something...off here, and I need to figure out what."
Jarvis nods and heads downstairs.

==Room 103==
"All right, boys, Lord Regulus says it is a go."  Jarvis uses the master key the hotel had surrendered to the team and unlocked the door, drawing back and allowing the three soldiers to enter.
"Hands in the air where I can see them."  The man was coldly dangerous; he had no need to shout--his tone alone would stop them in their tracks.

==Room 463==
The general pats the kid's head idly as his eyes begin to glaze over.

==Room 103==

Three teenagers, holding beer bottles were in the room. One had his laptop hooked up to the TV and it showed a very lifelike simulation of the desert, with soldiers in it. "its just COD man!" one shrieked. Another shouted "Don't taze me bro!". The last one threw his beer bottle at the soldier, but it missed and went out the window.


==Room 463==

The kid starts gnawing on the general's leg


==Room 213==

Tyler clamped his hand over daniel's mouth and woke him up. Wordlessly he pressed a M-16 into daniel's hands, and picked up a m-16 and a kal-tek KSG for himself. "don't shoot till the door opens" he mouthed.

==Room 213==
Regulus suddenly gets a sense of foreboding.  He stands well back from the door, and waits, his finger poised over the push-to-talk button on his phone.

Muttering something about "Shiza", General Carter walks back to the lobby, kid still firmly attached to his leg.

Regulus felt the sudden urge to summon his men, but he pushed it down.  Something was going on, and he had to speak to Matthews alone.  Or at least, away from ordinary humans.  He wouldn't mind having Jarvis at his side, but the secret of his kind's existence had to be his first priority.

==Room 103==
Jarvis knew a dead end when he saw one.  "Thank you for your time."  He led the men out of Room 103 and on to the other room on the first floor.

OOC: 138, I believe?  I'm too lazy to look back a page. :P

==Lobby==
"Don't think your 'dada' is gonna take you back unless you get to sleep, kid."  He stopped in his tracks, barely recovered from the shock of the incident.  "Who throws a little kid, anyway?"  He shakes his head and continues pacing the lobby, hopefully calming the kid a bit.  It seemed to be working so far..."

"Thank you for your time, ma'am."  Jarvis tells the troops to go report to General Carter, and heads back upstairs.

==Room 213==
Regulus decides to try a minor bluff; he was becoming more and more certain this was the room.  "Really?  Because there's no one else here who looks like you, Matthews.  I know you're tracking me; you showed up at Infinitus right as I called, and soon after someone of a similar...lineage...contacted MI5 about us.  Then, I go to meet with Wright in Colorado and get caught up in a CIA chase of a terrorist named Kaze Hikari--your alter ego, perhaps?  And then, I see you in the lobby--there's no way the CIA or MI5 got their acts together that fast--unless you were already trailing me.  If you're working for them, I want to know why you're trying to expose us all, and if you're not...well, if that's the case, then I at least owe it to you to warn you that someone IS coming after us.  Leonard Strallnoth, Alexandre Martins, Clive Smithson, Chris Johnson--those are only the last five.  I don't know if they really were like me, but they showed all the signs.  And now the CIA's after some mysterious terrorist who's almost certainly another one.  No matter how you look at it, Matthews, something is seriously wrong here.  I can use all the help I can get, and even if you aren't involved--you will be.  We need each other, Matthews.  Work with me, here."

As they climb the stairs, Regulus asks, "So, first thing...ARE you following me?  Why?  Who are you working for who's so interested in me, my work, and most importantly, our kind?"

"Im not following you. I took a job from Infinitus, but I don't work for them. Im a lone wolf at its best.  I know no human, other than daniel in there who suspects, that knows what I am or we are. Happy?" He said in fluent Demotic


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Flipz on April 30, 2012, 04:07:00 pm
-==IC: Regulus==-
"More than you know.  Let me explain.

"You may or may not have heard about my...experiments.  As we are nearing the final stages of my project, I've been tracking down as many of our kind as I can and bringing them onboard--it's complicated stuff, and pitifully few humans are competent enough to even sweep the floors in the place, especially what with the sabotage and assasinations we deal with.  For a while, it was normal stuff--once in a while we'd lose a symbiont, but nine times out of ten they'd take on a host already working the project, and that was that.  But lately--things have gotten bad.

"My host's name is Amarus Zagrene, Lord Regulus.  It's the first time the title's been passed to a member not of the Regulus line, and the first time in 150 years I had to take on a host that I did not help create.  When it happened...let's just say that if it weren't for Jarvis and the others of our kind on staff, I--the real me--would not have survived.  Someone's figured us out, and they're targetting, and killing us--permanently.  Those names I mentioned, I was considering inviting them into the program when they were killed.  Someone does not want this to go through, and more specifically, they don't want us to be involved with it--unjoined human deaths are down almost ninety percent from ten years ago, and falling.  That'd be a god thing, except the total number of deaths--including my own--have risen since then.

"That's why I called Wright at Infinitus, I arranged a meeting in Colorado, someplace I knew neither of us could be assasinated, and I was going to give him some very explicit instructions as to my requirements.  He's said to be the best, and I had hoped that he could stem the tide long enough to finish the project and catch the killer.  But somehow, someone managed to reverse-track my call and give the number to MI5.  The director--who's a complete buffoon, by the way, or at least he was--has been taken by a symbiont, according to my intelligence, an unusually uncooperative one.  If he's somehow in league with the killers, he's in a prime position to expose us to the world, and, more importantly, to the intelligence community.  If worse comes to worse, I'd rather the world know than just them; in public, we can appeal to the idealists and philosophers who would argue for our rights, in private, we'd be completely at their mercy.  Add to this the nationwide manhunt for terrorist Kaze Hikari--who almost HAS to be a symbiote if half of the things the CIA knows about him are true--and we have a perfect recipe for the destruction of our species.

"So, now I must ask you: do you trust Infinitus?  If he's trustworthy, then he's our best bet for protection; at the very least, he's someone we want on our side, not the enemy's.  What job did he ask you to do, anyway?  In case you haven't noticed, I've got a special forces strike team at my disposal, and I can keep them active out in the field for up to three more weeks."


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on April 30, 2012, 04:17:59 pm
Tyler started laughing hysterically. "The MI5 is no threat. I called you with that number trying to figure out what you were. And you're far too conspicuous. Finding out your true. identity was too easy. And I think we might have met before..... you were there at Churchill's speech, weren't you?"

"As for Chris Johnson.... that was my previous lifetime. I still haven't uncovered my killer" he answered, still in demotic.

Regulus inclined his head.  "Hazard of my work, I'm afraid.  If I'm going to find my fellow symbiotes, I have to drop hints that they can trust me--that I am indeed one of us.  We've yet to encounter a human who's figured it out, though, so thus far it's worked perfectly."

"Yes, I was at Churchill's speech--all British nobility of a certain rank were required to attend that one.  I apologize if I don't recall who you were at the time--there are only a few of us among the nobility, but as you recall there was a rather high turnover rate during the war, and so many of our kind chose hosts who were in the military.  Dark times, even for our kind...it was around then that I met Jarvis for the first time, actually, though it wasn't until much later that he joined me in my work."

"Well, I'm glad to know that MI5 was a false alarm, though there is still the threat of Kaze Hikari.  I've got gigabytes of data on the man, but nothing useful.  Once I return to England, I'll have to devise a way to draw him in, try and find out what the CIA knows.  Johnson was your last host, you say?  I take it you would very much like to be present when we find the killer?  I'd be more than happy to keep you in the loop, with both the killer and this lunatic Hikari on the loose, it's more important than ever that our kind help each other out when we can."

Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Flipz on April 30, 2012, 05:04:22 pm
"At best?  Being an idiot--his antics have gotten the CIA all riled up, to say the least, and there's no telling what they may know now.  At worst, he's deliberately trying to expose us--in which case, he's helping the killer, at least indirectly."

"My resources are at your disposal.  Like I said--strike team."  Regulus grinned; if luck was on his side tonight, Matthews might have or lead them to some clue about the killer's identity, and he'd be that much closer to ensuring the safety and power of his entire race.

"Unless my senses have completely deserted me, yes, he's telling the truth."

"OK then"

Tyler walked off, and Daniel saw him throw a grenade into the guard shack, and as it went off, just walk through the front doors.

A very burly man sat at the receptionists desk. "Does you hav ze appointmentz?" He asked with a heavy accent. Tyler set the bag down on the counter with a loud thunk. "A present for you." he said, and the man opened it. "Bomb?" He muttered to himself. It beeped. "BO-“ he was cut off as the EMP  exploded. The concussive shockwave threw Tyler back against the doors, and the recptionsist against the ceiling. The man fell onto the singed desk and his neck bent at an unnatural angle. Tyler tried to clear his minor concussion before any guards showed up.

"Hurry up Dan" he muttered to himself.

OOC: flipz, you're up :P

True to form, no less than six different doors opened up, disgorging no less than four rifle- and shotgun-toting guards each into the lobby, all of them opening fire as soon as they saw Matthews.

The guards with rifles quickly realize that their aim-correction technology is failing epically, but the shotgunners continue to fill the area around Tyler with tiny, high-velocity chunks of lead.

Meanwhile, one of the previously-unnoticed snipers swears loudly and chucks his apparently-useless sniper rifle at Tyler as a last resort.

Tyler pulled out a blueprint and went up the third door, and moments later found an electrical panel. He stuck a small device to it and ran out with Daniel, and the small EMP went off. "that should take care of any power left in the building." he explained.

Tyler shivered. how did those speakers survive the emp? he thought to himself, and then climbed up into the elevator. He then helped daniel up. The doors on the elevator were closed. Tyler pulled out a parang, wedged it between the doors, and pried them open about a half inch. Peeking through he noticed the CEO, Albert Saintclaire, fiddling with several circuit boards. He had 4 guards with him.

Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Darth Rexus on May 02, 2012, 05:55:22 am
OOC: Here is my explanation:
*How the footage wasn't effected by the EMP: It was being fed into a separate device in a secure location, the feed was interrupted and broken by the EMP

*How Viktor knew it was an EMP: Nothing shorts out High-Grade Infinitus Cameras like an EMP. Bullets would not be able to break their casing easily and ripping them apart would make then cause an alarm. Infinitus likes to try and EMP proof their High-Grade equipment but their mechanics are not the best meaning only 1/10 are partially EMP proof, and considering the fact I must've glanced over the fact that you used an EMP and I messed up, it all makes sense in my mind :P

"Jarvis!"
"Coming, sir!"  Jarvis stumbled out of the other room.

"****.  Where are you?  My team can be out the door in three minutes."

Jarvis texts the alarm code to all of the commandos.  General Carter sprints through the door, semi-oblivious to the kid still clinging to him, this time on his back.  "What's the emergency?"
"Trouble," Jarvis replies cryptically, "of the sensitive sort."  Seeing the child, he adds, "perhaps you should stay here, in the lobby, until the kid's parents can claim it.  Besides, that way, we won't need to expose you to Class A Amnesiacs again."
"That sensitive, huh?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Well, all right, then.  Team A's been up for a few hours, we were ready to go, dunno about Team B."

"i'm gonna hang up and send you a GPS linkup. meet me soon as you can, most of our weapons are dead or gone - there were EMPs, and about 200 Hard Drives i needed to rescue." he explained, then hung up. He tossed the phone to daniel, and said "open the GPSTrack app and send a 'file+apk' message to the contact marked 'Regulus'. the code is 45976987"

Daniel did so, and moments later Regulus received a message with a binary file and an app for his phone to install, with a message saying to install the app first.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Flipz on May 06, 2012, 05:31:15 pm
Regulus installed the app, and uplinked the GPS to one of his own satellites.  "Good, we've got live feed.  Get us there."

Exactly two minutes later, Regulus, Jarvis, and the team (minus General Carter) were in their vehicles, speeding out of the parking lot.  Regulus put the portable siren light on top of his car, and took the lead.

"Its my repair shop" she explained, then pulled out an origin beast of a laptop. It had the Navy Seals logo on the back and  "infinitus" in small letters underneath.

"An off duty Seal captain dropped this in the bathtub, and didn't want his superiors to know. I have the clearance to fix it, so he took it to me." She explained as she started ripping apart the chassis.

After a few minutes minutes later kaze heard her mutter "asdf asdf asdf asdf", then she pulled out a chip the size of her smallest fingernail.

"If this is what I think it is...... QWERTY the feds need some decent IT guys. Hold this, don't drop it." She said, and gave kaze the chip. Alexa then began assembling a desktop computer.

"c'mere" she muttered, tugging on Kaze's shirt. "see this string here? this enables a satellite uplink. This here signifies a keylogger.... over here tracks the GPS..... and the camera....... this whole computer is one huge piece of spyware.

"Once we're in the air, the team can stay behind and keep an eye on him.  I'd have Jarvis rustle up some of his mysterious "contacts," but I need him with us.  General Carter should be able to help him, after he deals with that little kid, anyway."

Jarvis joins in the call.  "Sirs, we're about to reach the airport.  I assume we want a clean sweep of the vehicles?"
"Matthews', yes.  The teams staying here with..."  He pauses.  "Kid, what was your name?  Daniel?  Anyway, the teams staying with him, you'll need to drive him to Colorado, help him interview...someone.  Anyhow, once that's done, you all nead to disappear.  Get back to base, make sure our tracks are clean.  I've...done my part in helping with that, but Carter's going to be on his own with the kid for a while.  Matthews, anything you or the kid need before you part ways?"

Tyler tossed Daniel his katana and M4 as daniel got out of the Porsche. "get him some ammo. he might need some medical attention too, he got a bit beat up during the raid." Tyler said, limping over to Regulus's vehicle. "can you set an EMP off on that porche? i'm too suspicious of anything with infinitus ties."

"Better."

As soon as Regulus' troops escort Daniel out of the vehicle, one of the soldiers presses a button on a control device.  The Infinitus car explodes in a violent inferno.  Without even turning to look at the carnage, Regulus begins walking toward the plane.  "Next stop, Heathrow, and from there...well, you won't believe me if I told you."

"He knows enough to keep his nose out of things, and to spot people who go rogue," he whispered back.  "The kid's listed as a nonhostile civilian protection target, so if something goes wrong they'll bring him in alive."  He pauses, and considers.  "Here, kid, take this."  Regulus tosses Daniel a small electronic device, which turns out to be a dedicated high-def multimedia player.  The device is pre-loaded with several episodes of Stargate SG-1, specifically "In the Line of Duty," "The Tok'ra" Parts 1 and 2, "Hide and Seek", and others involving the Tok'ra.

"My current host introduced me to this series, I think it would be VERY helpful in easing mistrust of our kind," he whispers to Tyler.  "When I get the chance, I really should see if it was written and/or produced by one of us."  Regulus stood by the plane's ramp and gestured for Tyler to step aboard.  "Come.  We have much to discuss."

"Surely you remember the Dove trial?  A giant mobile fortress in the middle of London,  almost an eighth of the city leveled and another quarter severely damaged?  Our government did a decent job of covering it up, but our kind has always been adept at avoiding such endeavors."

"Anyhow, after Clive's attack was foiled, there were still some...developments left behind.  As one of the few people who even knew anything remained from that, I was able to produce some...interesting developments.  Once the more reckless rabble was out of the way, I was free to resume my primary research--coincidentally, not long after I finished rennovations, I started losing personnel.  I assumed it was remnants of the Family--they were always annoying little pests, even after they fell apart--but in light of more recent events perhaps it was our common enemy, testing the waters to see if I'd be suspicious.  I'm afraid I failed that test, if that was the case."  At Matthews' look, Regulus clarified, "I speak of the mysterious killer, of course.  Infinitus is a common foe as well, but we know who he is, he's insignificant.  Suffice to say that when my research is complete, he'll bring an entire new meaning to the phrase 'wished he was never born.'"  Regulus chuckles darkly.  "But we can speak of this more when we reach Midland Road.  For now, I want to talk about you.  What do you remember about your previous host's death?"

"Heh heh heh...you'll see what I've made from the madman's last work.  I think you'll be impressed."

*Timeskip*

As Regulus leads Jarvis and Matthews down a quiet alleyway, he studies the latter's reactions.  Interesting...this one has lead some very different lives than I have.  Something to consider for the future...  He leads them inside an innocuous-looking clock shop, quaint in appearance but obviously restored multiple times since its original construction.  Within are hundreds of ticking clocks, some digital, many not.  The sensitive symbiotes' ears are the only ones able to pick up the subtle musicality of the quiet cacophany.  Regulus smiles.  "Each time I find one of our kind, I bring them here.  It's usually their first indication that I am one of their kindred."  He enters a larger room to the left of the shop room itself, striding purposefully to a massive machine, with a huge, two-story analog clock face at its heart.  Regulus grasps a lever on the side, one not unlike the reverser on an antique steam engine.  In fact, almost everything in the building appears to be either a replica or a restoration of things that are over a hundred years old.  "So, my friend.  Are you ready...to go back in time?"

OOC: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE UNWOUND FUTURE AHEAD!  All further spoilers will be UNMARKED until the period of explaining them is over. ;)

==Regulus==

The walls shook, and there was a sudden jolt as the machine activated.  Everyone present felt a sudden surge of nausea, as if the floor was dropping out from beneath them.  Just a minute later, everything stopped and fell silent.  Regulus gestured toward the door, but did not move.  As the door slowly opened, Tyler was greeted by an amazing sight.

Before him lay a transformed London, a mixture of past and future.  Not old enough to be "steampunk," nor dark enough to be "cyberpunk," it was a perfect symbiotic blend that refused to be classified by any category known to human art.

"Welcome to the past, Mr. Matthews.  Or rather, the future of the past."  Chuckling at Jarvis' slightly irritated glare, he gestured graciously toward his friend.  "Oh, all right, be literal if you must."

Jarvis rolled his eyes at his fellow symbiote's childishness.  He always did have to take them a bit too young, he thought to himself.  Well, can't be helped.  "As part of his plan, Clive Dove joined forces with a brilliant scientist named Dimitri Allen, to build this place.  I don't know the full details of the scheme--Lord Regulus is the only person prudent enough to take the knowledge from the responsible parties--but essentially, it was a deception designed to convince kidnapped scientists that the only way they could get back to their families was by building a time machine to take them back in time.  It also served as a useful distraction for a prominent professor of the day and his allies, though it ultimately failed its purpose in that regard."

Regulus picked up again.  "After Clive's mobile fortress fell back down here and destroyed, the place was wiped clean and filled with rubble.  Having been down here, and having seen the potential for a completely secure city of research facilities and monitoring centers, I diverted my existing plans to refurbishing this place.  The only way in or out of here is that "time machine"--actually a simple high-speed elevator, albeit a rather archaic design--meaning that I can control who gets in and out of here.  At least in theory, anyway--somehow, assassins manage to make their way down here every few months.  It's rather annoying, and why I was hoping Infinitus could help me--but obviously, that was a poor decision on my end."

"But come.  There is one last feature of this facility that you should see--but it requires privacy even from my own trusted personnel.  this way."

The woman threw Daniel across the room, and picked up the creature, which looked like a 2.5 foot black centipede with only 10 legs, a body about 6" thick. She nursed it close to her, then set it on the counter. "He's not dead yet. But you will be." She said, picking up a large kitchen knife.

Bryan groggily came out. He saw his girlfriend fighting with Daniel and grabbed a baseball bat.

One of the commandos looks to Carter, and Carter nods back.  "Kid, you don't have that funky condition where your heart's on the wrong side of your body, right?"

OOC: Need a very precise description of the woman's arm, how it's positioned relative to Daniel's body, which arm she's using, how tightly she's holding him, how experienced with this sort of action, and the position of her vital organs (brain, heart, stomach, and symbiote) relative to Daniel's body and vital organs.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on May 14, 2012, 07:27:14 pm
OOC: all vital organs in place properly. Symboyants go in cavity between the lungs, clamped onto the spine, but carter wouldn't know that. Right hand holding the knife to his his throat. She's holding him pretty much exactly in front of her.


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Flipz on May 14, 2012, 07:51:08 pm
OOC: Yeah, but if she's inexperienced she'll be holding the arm above Daniel's shoulder. ;)

==General Carter==
At Daniel's slight nod, the trooper on Carter's left shoots Daniel's and the woman's left leg, the trooper to the right shoots Daniel's and the woman's right, and Carter himself shoots her arm midway between wrist and elbow, blasting clear through the bone.

OOC:  On the plus side: Woman=out of commission. :P  On the downside, so is Daniel. :P
Also, gone to Disneyland for the rest of the night, Carter will floow Daniel's orders first, ask questions later.  The only thing he'd really balk at in his "combat mindset" is outright murder versus capture and interrogation.  There's six men left in the team guarding various exits to the building, and two more in the cars. ;)

General Carter has his men keep their weapons trained on the woman.  "Stanton, Aduro, upstairs, now," he barks over his push-to-talk.  As soon as the commandos arrive, he has Stanton drag Daniel away from the woman and begin first aid, while Aduro covers the woman with her gun.  Carter and the other two commandos begin to clear the apartment.  The two commandos find Bryan at the exact moment Carter sees the symbiote on the counter.  "What the ****--"

"You there, on the ground!  Hands behind your head!"

Holding his gun up to the symbiote, he yells, "All right, I want some answers.  Now."

--Two hours later--
With Brian and his girlfriend safely under constant guard, and a containment team scheduled to arrive within 14 hours, General Carter and the main team squeezed into two of the SUVs and began driving to the airport.  "It's gonna be a while before we can get Lord Regulus' plane over here, and after what I just saw, I don't trust anyone but him.  We're going to hang out here until the containment arrives, in case we need to make a quick getaway.  And besides..." he added, "I think we need to watch that video again.  Lord Regulus was trying to warn us about Francisco, I think, and if it turns out one of those...things...is behind all the assasination attempts, we may be in bigger trouble than we realized.  Ideas, Daniel?"

==Lord Regulus==

Regulus led Tyler into a river-side shed, into a long, apparently-disused tunnel beneath the underground city.  After almost fifteen minutes' worth of walking, Regulus walked into the rusted-out remains of a telephone box, one that had apparently dropped through a hole in the ceiling above.  Suddenly, the interior of the box flashed with holographic projections and scanners, and after a full minute of scanning, Regulus smiled and stepped out of the telephone box.  Tyler keenly notices the rust had now taken on a distinct tinge of blue, if that was at all possible.  "It's open," Regulus announced, "You may follow me."

Inside was a technological marvel.  A device of cogs and gears so intricately complex even a symbiote would take decades to repair it.  Regulus smiled and chuckled.  "Oh, that.  It's just a replica (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-914), we use it to refine spare parts.  Do us a favor and don't tell SCP (http://www.scp-wiki.net/), would you?  It's bad enough that our kind is in their database."

Moving on, Regulus allowed a needle on a handpad to draw some blood.  Once the DNA match was confirmed, he gestured Jarvis, Tyler, and two scientists through.

Inside was a stark white curcular room with bent walls, like a sphere with the top and bottom sliced off.  The walls immediately lit up with cyan and lime green lines of light, like a gigantic, complex circuit board.  A tone sounded, and Regulus strode over to a wall where a clear panel of Google Glass popped out.  After several complex login sequences, a door on the opposite side of the chamber opened.  An emaciated, elderly man on agurney was wheeled in on a stretcher by two men in white medical coats bearing a complex medical sigil apparently embossed by pure silver.  Accompanying them was a beautiful woman with flowing black hair that fanned out behind her as she walked--another scientist, if her lab coat and tablet device were any indication.  Tyler could dimly spot the outlines of more fantastically complex gearworks at the edges of the door--unlike the previous device, these mechanisms had been enhanced with electronic components and connections, but were no less complex.  Regulus gestured to one of the scientists who had accompanied the group in from the gears chamber.

"Mr. Matthews, meet Dr. Cave Cliffords."  The man, a slightly balding fellow with thin-rimmed glasses and an expensive-looking analog wristwatch, nodded politely.  Regulus gestured to the body on the gurney.  "Doctor Cliffords has been dead for three years now."  As the living Cliffords stood next to the stretcher, Tyler could see the resemblence--clearly the mand had fallen victim to a terrible disease.  "The last time we tested this device, a dolt of a technician failed to properly seal a container of radioactive material--a highly rare isotope with a very specific signature that we planned to use to track whether or not the actual time travel was successful.  Long story short, after a few moments, the container burst and Doctor Cliffords experienced a severe and quickly fatal dose of radiation, leading to his death.  A year later, however, he reappeared in this chamber, apparently none the worse for wear.    The container had failed to transport, but he had.  Upon re-autopsy, we discovered that Doctor Cliffords' symbiote had survived the accident and left his body, and found a new host--Dr. Carol Johnson, here."  Regulus indicated the black-haired woman next to the gurney.  "We've kept them apart, for the most part--for obvious reasons--but occasionally we've risked their interaction--such as now.  Dr. Johnson is in the unique position of knowing what advances in research her past self had made, and therefore being able to pick up from where Dr. Cliffords leaves off.  Of course, there's an obvious problem--"

"Stop staring at my--"
"I'm not, I swear!"
"I distinctly remember doing so, and I distinctly remember me telling me to stop--"

"Jarvis, please, separate them before I get another headache like the last time."  As Jarvis lets the scientists out of the room, Regulus resumes.  "Aside from that issue--oddly, you'd expect someone to get along better with themself--there's another pressing issue with the situation that I'm sure a brilliant scientist like yourself has figured out."

OOC: Dear god, this is making my brain hurt, but I think I've almost hit all the plot points I need for this. :P

Carter cautiously lowers the gun, but still stays alert and ready to spring into action.  He decides to let Daniel do the talking, and stays silent.

==Tyler==

"You're saying, what, time travel is possible? Ive been one of the greatest minds in theoretical physics. So unless you have possession of some tachyions, I'm afar aid I don't quite comprehend." After a short pause he added "thou if you do have a tachyion generator, this changes everything"

==Lord Regulus==
"We can produce...limited amounts.  Part of the problem--and the reason we haven't taken full advantage of the device--is that the process by which we generate them is positively ancient; the first iteration was steam-powered!  We've made a few advancements since then, but..."  He shrugs.

"That's not the problem I was talking about, though.  Remember how we have two copies of the same symbiont?  It's a bit of a long story, but basically, the device can, for now, only project subjects into the future.  Furthermore, those subjects...don't stay there.  The cells in Dr. Cliffords' body keep growing increasingly temporally unstable; at a certain point, they'll be drawn inexorably back to his own time, to the moment of the accident.  We've managed to slow it down, somewhat, by keeping the machine on but idling and keeping him within range of the associated electromagnetic fields, but it's still inexorable.  The same thing happened when Bill Hawks and Dimitri Allen built their time machine well over a century ago; a young woman was transported to the future, and was drawn back to the moment of that machine's cataclysmic destruction.  That's why we need you."

"Of course, any and all contributions to this project would be highly useful--at this point, it's highly likely we'll need biotechnology to synthesize the componens we need for tachyon generation in any substantial quantities, as well as to properly regulate the reaction and dispersal--but our primary consern is with achieving permanent transit.  If we can nullify the temporal anchoring effect--well, you can imagine the advantages.  A bomb's about to go off?  Time-travel to a point after the explosion and its afterefects.  Infected with AIDS?  Time-travel to a time when there's a cure.  And as to revenge...let's just say that, if we can get the system capable of reverse time-travel, some judicious tampering with the past could prevent larger disasters, though of course the utmost care would have to be taken to prevent alterations--we need to maintain stable time loops, rather than branching eventual outcomes.  In the case with Infinitus, I think some early-childhood brainwashing, triggered by a specific audiovisual cue, might be just the thing to deal with him."

"Of course, that sort of thing is still many years away.  For now...I'd say shooting him a hundred years into the future should be most effective at neutralizing him in the present, wouldn't you agree?"

Post by: Flipz on May 16, 2012, 11:19:57 pm
==Lord Regulus==
Regulus nods.  "I should point out that part of the reason we don't have reverse-travel capability is because it's pseudo-time-travel--we're exploiting relativity to accelerate the subject to the speed of light, utilizing our own equipment to ensure that the acceleration is executed along a curvature to correctly intercept Earth's location in the future.  It should be noted as well that our equipment generates a static energy packet at either end of a universal temporal relativistic curve; essentially, we create two momentary "bubbles" in spacetime that we can then use to track and calculate the necessary curve.  The tachyons generated by our limited process are used to track the stream of matter as it travels through what is, to oversimplify things, an artificially-generated wormhole.  Without this tracking, we cannot input the minor corrections necessary for precise destination calculations--the process generates a sort of Shroedinger anomaly at the source end, wherein the target is both present and already transported for about five seconds.  Our computers handle the necessary adjustments, but the generation equipment we have set up here has been refined and tailored since Allen's time such that the needed adjustments are minimal.  It's truly a brilliant setup, if I do say so myself--I have been working on this for my entire lifetime, after all."  He frowns.  "We've refined everything so well that we can set an exact time of forward transit as small as eighteen hours and still be able to determine the precise moment of arrival down to the second (less than that and the accuracy starts to drop dramatically).  The problem is, no matter how much we refine the process itself, the target aways manages to get pulled back to the present.  And we don't know why.  Our weakest area is in biological processes, and we think that's the key to figuring out what's happening.  We've sent inanimate objects through, and they get dragged back, but the time they spend in the future is always too short to get definitive results--they usually "fizzle out" while we're in the middle of scanning them, and they show no measurable anomalies when they return in the past.  Living beings, on the other hand, seem to be able to spend anywhere from a tenth to a sixth of the time "skipped" in the future, before being dragged back to the past.  Dr. Cliffords has been the exception, of course, but the specific physics involved are so complex as to yield little usable data, and in any case we know we can't find a full solution from him alone, since we obviously have his body."

OOC: I have a general idea of what's wrong, and it has to do with a combination of advanced speculative physics and the pseudo-semiphysical nature of the human consciousness.  Want me to PM you my explanation of the problem, or do you want to take a crack at it before the assassin shows up? ;D

OOC2: Also, accelerating something to the speed of light and sending it through a wormhole can (theoretically) do some really weird stuff, which is why I have the tachyons to slow the matter stream down.  You know some funky junk is going on when something that by definition goes faster than the speed of light is being used to slow something down. :D

OOC: MTM, for your viewing pleasure I'd like you to imagine this next segment with the music from the very first chapter of Portal 2 playing; specifically, the part starting from when the alarm starts going off and the room starts moving; on the soundtrack, it's at about 1:07 in "The Courtesy Call"

==Regulus Laboratories==
"Excellent.  Most excellent.  If we give Jarvis a couple of days to finish moving your estate to Underground London, we'll be able to get started then.  In the meantime, perhaps you would care to see some of the amenities we have he--"

An alarm starts going off.  It's not a casual 'a bird tripped the motion sensor' alarm, either.

"*****************!!!" Regulus curses in Demotic.  He grabs Tyler's arm and starts dragging him to a circular pad of lights that had appeared in the room; tyler sees that the lights had suddenly changed colors and were now displaying a number of what could only be alerts and indicators of whatever was going on outside.  "This is why I hate traveling without Carter; there's only one way out of here, and the intruder's using it."  He activates some controls, and a pinpoint aperture at the center of the pad suddenly opens up and drops Tyler and Regulus into a huge, darkened warehouse below.  "We'll have to lose them in the warehouses.  Stay alert, stay close, and for ****'s sake, don't touch anything."  Walking to a large support beam, he waves his hand across a sensor, revealing a hidden panel with a pair of teardrop-shaped blades in it.  Regulus holds one one-handed, apparently familiar with its odd, illogically-balanced weight and heft, and tosses the other to Tyler.  "Anti-technology field," he explains, "for lack of time to explain in detail.  They can't track us now, and any advanced weaponry they try and use on us will fail."  The aperture above them suddenly snaps shut, plunging the two symbiotic hybrids into darkness.  Regulus presses an inset trigger in the handle, and a jet of faint, etherial "flames" bursts forth from the tip of the device, providing a little light.  "Be very careful with these; they inhibit all combustion in the area they occupy.  All combustion," he repeats unnecessarily; Tyler's knowledge of basic cellular biology had already moved to the logical implications of that statement.  "Controls are like a flamethrower, but with considerably more control over the exact size and spread of the gouts of 'flame.'  Hopefully you won't need to get the hang of it."  Regulus gestured for Tyler to follow him down the darkened, deserted halls of heavy iron doors and reinforced titanium crates.

OOC: Random encounter time; read a bit of SCP and make up something; we need to give the assassin time to get inside. ;)
Also, yes, that was a seventeen-letter curse. :P

the emp went off. the supersonic bullet hit the shockwave from the EMP before hitting the robot, so it detonated early. the robot was knocked forwards taking the full brunt of the EMP.

The military people seemed not to have noticed Daniel, so Alexa walked over and made sure he was still breathing.

Alexa got up and tapped the shoulder of one of the nearest soldiers. "You gonna go anything about this? you got a man down over here." She then realized the man was the General and she gulped.

==General Carter==
General Carter looked up at the girl.  Wait, who is she?  Do I know her?  Why is she staring at me like that?  The hair on the back of his neck starts to stand up, but he's too amped up on adrenaline to notice.

IC:

Daniel sat down, and shouted.

"CARTER, GET OVER HERE. I'M IN NEED OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE."

Carter suddenly realizes that he'd completely locked out the world again while he waited for an opening at the robot.  I HAVE to stop doing that...been getting worse, last couple years...  He signals for three of the men to get med kits while the rest form a perimiter around the area.  "Sorry about that, kid, happens sometimes.  I freeze up, go blank, operate on basic reflexes.  Be glad you didn't run across my line of sight, though with that thing shooting at us both, I doubt you would have."  He looks up and sees the others.  "Sorry, I don't believe we've been introduced.  I'm--"  He cuts off as he realizes something.  "OI!  Major, you and Strathern get in there and find that robot.  If it's alive, track it, if not, bring it with us, Lord Regulus will want to know about it."  He returns his attention to Alexis and the others.  "General George N. Carter, U.K. Royal Marines.  I'm on special assignment from Lord Regulus himself, escorting Mr. Smith here to find Mr. Francisco.  He went inside and got attacked by...something.  Large, insectoid, lots of legs.  Like a giant centipede, almost, but different.  Details get a bit fuzzy like that, 'v always had memory problems.  Anyway, soon as the operation went south, I'm under orders to enact protocol C-85-Cairo-Omega, which means all of you need to come with me for debriefing."  Rounding on the soldiers who had been assigned to the containment unit, he barked, "Lieutenant, was the creature alive when it broke out of there, or did that robot make off with the body?"

IC [Podrax]:

A Symboyant slowly walked through the shadows, its last host killed by a zap from a former bug exterminator. Now it was on a mission many other symboyants shared: to find a host. It had not yet set its four eyes on anyone in particular yet, but it needed a host if it was going to survive. It had decided someone in something akin to the military would be a suitable host, and the nearest military personnel it knew of were in broad daylight. It was practically suicide for the Symboyant to attempt to gain a host, but that would not stop it. But soon, it would have to gain a host; and given what this Symboyant wants, it would probably have to attempt the equivalent of suicide.

==General Carter==
"London.  Hopefully.  If we were attacked here, though, I fear we may not be the only ones targetted...keep your guard up."

==Regulus' Warehouse==
The creature slithers back, and in the increased light you can see a creature that appears to be the entire nervous system of a human...with no body around it.  Three more of the creatures appear from the shadows.

Regulus curses in Demotic.  "******, power goes out for five minutes and THIS happens...Guess that's what I get for keeping my electrician contractors in the dark about what they're doing..."  Just then, a trio of tomatoes comes flying out of the darkness at supersonic speed.  Regulus barely ducks in time, and the tomatoes smash into a steel crate, punching several holes in it.  Small, furred, rodent-like creatures, approximately 20cm in height when fully upright, with wicked-sharp 15cm claws on both front paws start pouring from the crate and swiping at the pair's legs.  The nerve-creatures start circling Regulus and Tyler...

"****.  504, 625, 1027 are all out.  If the Federation has let those things go through another containment breach into my facility..."  Just then, Regulus' face goes white.  "Oh. ****.  If 173 is in here..."

"Tyler, listen.  Stay calm, don't let 1027 touch you, keep your ankles out of 625's range, and whatever you do, don't pun."  Regulus fumbles inside his jacket for something.  "I have to find out if 173 is loose, if it is, we're ******."

As Regulus speaks, the creatures slowly back the two symbiotic hybrids toward another stack of crates.  There is a small stone disk with odd carvings to their left, loosely affixed to a very large mirror next to them...

The nerve creature crumbles to dust, and the rodents shy away from the light, but the burst is not long enough to render them docile.  Both the remaining nerve creatures and the rodents start cautiously approaching and switching their attack pattern, and Tyler sees several of them licking their claws and coating them in saliva...upon seeing this, Regulus reaches up and starts to climb onto the boxes, but he can't seem to get a handhold.  Tyler is right next to the mirror now...

Another tomato whizzes at Tyler at lethal velocity, but at the last possible moment it misses, hitting the mirror and knocking the stone disk off of it.  Tyler instinctively catches it before it can hit the ground, and it begins to glow yellow.

One of the rodents manages to slice Regulus' leg, and he yells and kicks it away.  He stumbles into Tyler, causing him to touch the stone back to the mirror.  Both fall through the mirror, and several of the rodents as well as two of the nerve-creatures make it through before the mirror loses its balance and shatters into a million pieces.  With more room to move, Regulus starts limping through the hallways of the eerily deserted office building at top speed, motioning for Tyler to follow.  "I don't know exactly where we are, but you had better NOT lose that disc..."

OOC: We need to find a mirror.  The nearest intact one is halfway across a city of uspeakable horrors.  And we're being chased by other unspeakable things.  Enjoy. :P

"Don't be daft.  We're near the airport, we'll take one of our planes."  He frowned.  "This is a generic Royal Marines plane, not Lord Regulus' private jet, so the flight will be slower, and I can't be completely sure of its safety.  But it's the only option we have, I'm not waiting another 14 hours before we can get Lord Regulus' jet ready.  Major, make the preparations and lead the way."


==Airplane==
Once aboard the plane, Carter insisted on sitting in the cockpit with the pilot, in case anyone got any funny ideas.  Alexa, of course, had protested, and to his surprise he obliged her and let her join him.  Now, in the air, Carter had little to do while the plane crossed the Atlantic.  He studied Alexa, a strange expression on his face.  She seemed...familiar...and yet he couldn't place her.  With the exception of being far too young for him, she almost seemed his type...but that was rediculous.  She was REALLY too young for him, and besides, he had sworn off romance long ago, after...what?  Why did he decide to do that?  While he pondered this, he noticed Alexa staring rather intently back at him, and asked, "Can I help you?"

It wasn't Alexa, but it sure was close.

Carter stared at the picture, tried to remember, as hard as he could.  But the more he thought about it, the less he could recall.  He shook his head.  At least I know SOMETHING, though.  Even without words, he could tell for sure.  The woman was Alexa's mother.  "'Dad'..."

IC [Daniel]:

Daniel, now having received the medical attention he needed, got up from his seat on the plane, and sat behind Omega. Daniel had been visibly disturbed, for the hundredth time.

"What's going on?

IC [Podrax]:

The Symboyant hid in the shadows. From where it was inside the plane, it could not get to the host it wanted unless it came to him.

The only thing it could do to gain its wanted host's attention? To expose itself.

"at one point in time we went to america. i don't remember why. he just...... left me there." alexa said. while this was obviously very difficult for her, it was pretty clear she was holding back important information. "CPA tried to find him, they say they found him in the UK but he said he didn't have a daughter, or any family, so they wouldn't send me back. i went through foster homes till a nice couple adopted me........"
"i still remember his face that last day tho, clear as day. its him, no question. and he doesn't even know me at all."

Daniel came in and alexa attempted a smile. "hey, what do you know about General Carter?"

IC [Daniel]:

"I know that he tends to space out at the worst of times. Other than that, he is quite dedicated to his job. I should ask him about the creatures, if he knew anything before he and I went through that ordeal of a psychotic girlfriend of Bryan Francisco."

IC [Podrax]:

As Daniel finished his sentence, the Symboyant darted out, hoping to attract attention, to draw the host that it wanted out. "*Insert LOUD Symboyant Noise here*"

Omega nodded at Alexa's story, sympathizing with her, if only because of the story.
I've never had that situation, of course. Omega thought, but he wasn't sure about Kaze, since he never really paid attention to his host. Was likely that the same applied to him, however. However, that train of thought was interrupted, as he noticed the Symbiote run around nearby.
"What the..." Omega frowned, as he heard the noise, and mentally facepalmed, though his face was relatively neutral still.

IC [Daniel]:

"...Why are you SMILING? KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!"

IC [Podrax]:

If the Symboyant couldn't gain enough attention by simply showing up, then it would have to attempt an attack.

The Symboyant darted forward, towards Omega.

Omega, however, obviously had experience, and quickly performed a twist, even as he dodged the attack, and grabbed out at the creature quickly, attempting to just hold it in place.
"... Really?" Omega asked, as he shook his head, thinking the universe hated him or something.

OOC: xD Everything hates Omega, doesn't it. =P


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: mtmerrick on May 22, 2012, 12:34:23 pm

Omega muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like 'knew it', but then gave Alexa an odd look for multiple reasons.
So, wait, how does that... Augh, my brain's gonna explode today just from this confusion, I know it. Omega thought, though his face never betrayed any of these thoughts.

IC [Podrax]:

In the Symboyant's native tongue, the creature skittered "No. You are all going to die. Including me. The world's going to wake up from the illusion our species has cast upon it; and then the world will wage war. A war is coming, and I'll spearhead it. This war shall... destroy the planet, if done right. Everything on this planet is degenerate."

Podrax then managed to fling itself out of Omega's grip, and attempted to form a symbiosis with Omega, even though Omega already had a Symbiote. Podrax was handicapped when it came to detecting the symptoms of symbiosis.

Post by: mtmerrick on May 22, 2012, 12:46:48 pm

The Symboyant had been flung conveniently from the last bash, as it landed next to Daniel. It then attempted to neck clamp onto him.

"HELLO THERE. DID YOU KNOW ALMOST EVERYONE SURROUNDING YOU IS ONE OF US IN A HUMAN BODY? You shall suffer that fate, but not for long. Not until I find him." it said telepathically, referring to the military personnel it wanted to take as a host.

[Daniel]

"Get. Off." He replied aloud, tearing the Symboyant off his back, and then held it up high.

"You aren't the first." Daniel stated, coldly, towards the Symboyant.

OOC:

The Symboyant escaped Omega's bashing attempt and broke the extension cord. It then quickly crawled away from Omega and Alexa, and skittered.

"Maybe the name 'Podrax' will ring a bell."

Omega raised an eyebrow at the very interesting usage of the cable.

IC [Podrax]:

Podrax quickly crawled into the rear of the plane. Many responses could be heard, from gunshots to screams. But the Symboyant had already claimed its host, and now, it was connecting to its host. It had finally obtained the host it wanted. A soldier by the name of Adam.

Omega slowly approached, his gun drawn, as he pointed it toward the soldier.

Omega looked around as Alexa went to the front, and sighed, as he leaned toward Adam, and whispered something:
"Don't tell anyone, but I'm part of the CIA. Which is why it's best not to tell me to stand down, and also not to tell anyone." Omega said, as he straightened up again, before Alexa returned, and simply smirked, as Adam's eyes turned, and Omega pointed gun at the military officer.
"Ah, was wondering when you'd show your true self." Omega stated, his eyes flashing pure red in response, simply to show that he really was covering a different self, though his Symbiote personality had been in effect the entire time.

"Hopefully he knows the dangers of that." Omega commented with a slight frown, as he then looked at Daniel.
"Humanity's survival and others' survival are intertwined. Would you go around destroying cats, or dogs, simply because they tried to survive?" Omega asked, as he had a skeptical look on his face.

"I 'took over' this body as it was about to die." Omega said calmly, and frowned.
"I wouldn't say that I 'took over' the life, as much as I granted it new life; as he would've died if I hadn't stepped in. You are generalizing too much." Omega said, and thought for a moment.
"Going back to the other point for a moment, I must point out that I let 'his' personality shine through a good 90% of the time. Not that these last few days have helped this a bit, though." Omega said with a sigh, as he scratched his head.
"The point is, you are being selfish, and not considering things: How many species have humans killed off trying to expand their territory?" Omega inquired, and then closed his eyes for one moment.
"Even knowing that answer, having seen it happen over the years myself, I still fight for humanity, to save both humans and the Earth. Think about that for a moment, Symbiotes theoretically are able to have anything as a host, and yet I still wish to help save everything on Earth. If I weren't on your side, would I seriously do that?" Omega asked, not sure how Daniel could believe he wasn't trying to help.

Omega stared blankly at the soldier, and simply shook his head. He only had a slight suspicion it was Alexa's doing, but still didn't want to say anything, for fear of her taking it the wrong way. He turned to Daniel, and shook his head at him.
"Are you... Did you... WHAT?" Omega facepalmed badly, as he left an imprint of his hand on his face afterward.
"This is just as much our planet as yours; that'd be like saying to a hawk, 'oh, go to Mars, we don't need your lot here'. We are not 'aliens', this is our planet just as it is for humans." Omega said, and growled.
"And I'm not lying; if I was against anyone but this stupid guy, then you'd know it. This guy's lucky, too, since I'm being nice, and not putting a bullet through his head in a second." Omega pointed out.

IC: alexa chuckled. "aliens? really" at her lapse in concentration, the soldier she was trying to control dropped his grenade, and it went off in the soldier's cabin.

"Less talk; more action." Omega mentally growled over the telepathic communication, having picked up on bits of it, and Omega rolled his eyes to Adam.

OOC: After consideration, let's just offscreen the bits in the alternate dimension, shall we?  ;)

==Regulus Warehouse==
In another part of the warehouse, a bathroom mirror starts to vibrate and ripple.  A stone disk appears in the middle of it, and two figures leap through, followed closely by a rotting hand.  Regulus tears the paper towel holder off the wall and throws it at the mirror, shattering it and severing the hand at the wrist.  The stone disk rapidly jumps to another mirror, but nothing strange happens to that one.  "Federation can take it from here.  Come on!"

Regulus leads Tyler back to the main warehouse room, and Tyler can see numerous uniformed personnel in prison jumsuits with the words "Class D Personnel" written all over it.  "Don't make eye contact," Regulus advises, "We have an understanding: we don't 'notice' them, they don't 'notice' us, and we don't have to be at odds.  This way."  Regulus reactivates the elevator, and the two ascend back into the time machine.  "If the Federation's here, they should have detained the attacker for--"

Just then, the lights came on.  And they saw the assassin at the far end of the room, standing in the exit doorway.  They still had their blades...but she had a sniper rifle.  And it was aimed right at them.

Omega grabbed Adam around the neck, and then attempted to toss him to the... well... roof of the plane.
"You're nuts." Omega said, as he pulled out his gun, hoping that he could finish this threat now; he was worried about that 'government plan' thing, but honestly, the insane Symbiote that wished the destruction of the planet was the main problem here.

"I am awake." The hybrid of a synchronized mind said, as he dashed toward Adam once more, and then aimed to punch the soldier in the face quickly.

Adam's eyes began flashing between green and blue.

"Time for you to die, and for the plan to begin... There are no 'things' inside me. You're here to murder me, aren't you? Oh, I like where this is going. You deserve to fall off, mister. This is so much easier than I expected it to be. I'm going to make sure you end up imprisoned. Oh, yes we will." Podrax finished, as he then began climbing up the plane. Adam's eyes were still flashing, switching from personality to personality, although Adam did not care that he was not remembering a few chunks of his journey. He wanted to get rid of Omega, like Podrax, although for a different reason, which was Omega being the only viable person to accuse of him ending up on the outside of the plane. Or so he thought.

"Listen to me; you know how you couldn't find that creature you kept talking about?" Omega asked, as he growled in desperation.
"That's because it lives inside people, and influences them at times. It's switching between influencing you, and letting you act at that; taking over, and not taking over!" Omega said, as he climbed up the plane as well, trying to get Adam to realize there was an insane Symbiote inside him.
"Think; have you felt different at all since that attack?" Omega asked, since a telltale sign of a Symbiote attack, was that they suddenly gained powers they didn't have... Even when their hosts were in control.

"Also, your memories; they're blanks in a couple spots, aren't they? The thing didn't just 'disappear'. It's inside you, resting around near your spine." Omega said, not sure how he could prove this without forcing the soldier to tap into the Symbiosis-granted powers.

"Because this shows what I'm talking about." Omega said, as he shrugged.
"Could you do this before? With such ease? The way to easily tell, aside from the memory gaps, is because the Symbiote, the creature, grants you enhanced abilities, such as enhanced strength... Even when it's not in control."

Omega didn't move to resist; however, he did attempt to send a figurative spike of pain through the Symbiote's head itself, in an attempt to relinquish control; using his telepathy to do so.
"You say that we're evil?" Omega asked Podrax, freezing Adam's arm in place for the moment.
"You say that the world should burn?" Omega also asked, as he attempted to locate the Symbiote inside Adam's body.
"You couldn't be more wrong. You are the evil one. You continue to say 'oh, we should stop interfering in human lives!', but then you go and say '... oh, but the humans should die too, by their planet going bye-bye.' You, right there, are the single thing that is wrong with this planet. Go and die like you want, but don't take anyone else with you." Omega stated mentally, as he attempted to push the Symbiote out of Adam's body, or at least wake Adam up to the fact that there was something inside him.

Podrax didn't reply. Delusional delusions.

Omega, however, had planned for that, and spun around in the air, as he hit the wing, and slid to a stop grabbing hold of the wing, panting, as he closed his eyes, and attempting to send piercing stabs of pain through the Symbiote's mind. It was already insane, but if he could effectively kill it with his powers... The problem was, he wasn't entirely sure if he could, especially from that distance. Worst came to worst; he could attempt to force Adam to die, but...

"A symbiote hybrid..." Omega panted, as he held onto the wing.
"The merger is completing, there's little time... If you let it complete, the result will be more or less pure insanity which is evil." Omega said with a frown, as he tried to force the Symbiote out with telekinesis, but that probably wouldn't work well at all...


Title: Re: Symbiosis [RPG]
Post by: Trijhak on May 24, 2012, 02:00:35 pm
IC [Podrax]:

In less than thirty seconds, the hybrid/Podrax/Adam said the following.

"Pure insanity does not instantly equate evil. It can go either way. It just depends on the situation, the surroundings and the person. But you're somewhat but not exactly right! Going the evil way is so much terror and destruction, and that's a bad thing. No, actually, it's a good thing, and I'm going to go at the speed of backflip soon. We should have an experiment. See who can last the longest in control of this body. No. ...I can't remember anything... Why must they fight for total control? It's like they're opposites. Stabilise, stabilise, stabilise! May I inquire as to why the hybrid personality overrides both of us? Because I'm better than you, if I can keep you repressed."

It had appeared the merger had created a delicate balance between Adam and Podrax, one that was not quite as chaotic as Podrax but not quite as calm as Adam. The merged personality seemed to represent the better parts of both, but for now it seemed to have the voluntary aid of the human side and the involuntary participation of the symbiote part, so it would display some influence from the symbiote side.

"It doesn't always, but in this case, it will." Omega said, as he attempted to send the hybrid falling forward, due to him having to keep two other personalities repressed.

"I hope it doesn't. I know that I am not insane. I know that destroying the world is unreasonable. But if you're so totally convinced on destroying me..."

OOC: MTM, you're the assassin.  The one we talked about in PM? ;)

==Soldiers==
The soldiers, after giving first aid to their wounded companions,  climb onto the roof in full respiration gear and with magnetic grippers to adhere themselves firmly to the plane.

"On your knees, hands behind your head, both of you!!" one of them shouts through a voice amplifier.

-==IC: Omega==-

"Oh you've gotta be kidding me... I'm the one holding onto the plane's wing here!" Omega growled, as he facepalmed with his free hand.
"What do I have to do to get it through your skulls: I AM NOT THE ENEMY HERE!!" Omega yelled out, partly to be heard over the roar of the plane.

OOC: Omega is on the wing, so... Doing that would be a very bad idea. =P

One of the soldiers pauses awkwardly.  "Erm...right.  Yes.  OK.  You can still, uh, hold onto the plane.  But no sudden moves!" He says, cocking his weapon for emphasis.  "And keep BOTH those hands on the vehicle!"

Omega shrugged, and placed his hand on the plane, he wasn't complaining about that part.
"Just so you know, though, if it's to prevent any shootings, my gun is currently approximately... 100 feet away, at the bottom of the ocean." Omega said, using a rough estimate of where they were from when he had been thrown onto the wing, 'til then.

IC [Podrax]:

Adam got onto his knees and held onto the plane.

"Given that I'm trying to repress a violent personality, which happens to be one half of me, which is balanced by the other half of me, a calmer personality, please do not be surprised if I suddenly explode. Figuratively and literally. I'm a living prison, too."

In Adam's current merged-personality mind, he could hear Podrax mentally protesting pretty much everything.

Omega sighed, as he simply watched Adam ramble.
Humans. The lengths they go to in order to convince themselves that supernatural things can't happen. I think you're one of the only humans who recognized the possibility of something bigger than you existing, Kaze. Omega thought, and Kaze responded with a mental shrug.
Possible. Granted, at that moment, I didn't exactly have much of a choice, since you took me over forcefully at first, but once you explained thing, that made sense. Not complaining, though, if you hadn't taken over my body, then I'd be dead right now...
