Waterbrick Down Posted June 27, 2021 Author Posted June 27, 2021 14 hours ago, Khorne said: OOC: Was I normally supposed to reconfirm everyone's 'push' before being able to continue? Wasn't sure about it. Felix shook his head, cracked his neck and fingers, followed by a slight roll of the shoulders. "Here we are again." "Y'all make it through the dive alright?", he asked his fellow team members. His cat-like pupils morphed into small slits at the sight of so much light and bright hues. Blinking several times, he tried to get a sense of direction and his surroundings. "I guess we'll check out the warehouse first, right?" MM Note: Not necessarily, it wasn't clear to me whether folks were still considering changing or had settled in with what they had. Also we should determine which tool Felix has equipped for proficiency check purposes. 10 hours ago, samurai-turtle said: This feels like one of my fever dreams I used to have... The next thing Polaris saw was a blizzard, barely able to see but their was a shadowy figure of a female. And she spoke "It is about time for you to 'awaken', I will even help you friend." Miles? Wait I seen you before. Who are you? Before she knew it her eyes open to the light of Ætherspace... What was that about?...Then she got a good look at Miles and herself. Miles what happen to us? /// I feel different...I was thinking "Will I look the same?" Then a thought came over me. "Roundabout a tool aching welp fool."...A sub program must of turn on. That sounds similar to something I heard in a dream. Plus I too feel different is it this place or something else? But this look and why green. /// I was checking out other Mech designs earlier and must of combined some together. As for green it must be a color we both agree upon. Wait is this my walking stick? Why do I, oh they must of thought I will needed it. As she playing around with it practice swinging it around with both of her new hands. I hope this doesn't break. @KotZ Aaamm, you guys might want to take a look at "us". Polaris and Miles note the transformative process of diving and recall Agent Molly's description of their current location as another sphere of reality devoid of the constraints of the material sphere and influenced by the thoughts and desires of its inhabitants. 3 hours ago, KotZ said: Varen looked around at the foreign landscape. Certainly different from the real world. "Yeah, I think I'm good. What an experience. Damn, it might be better than drugs. And I love those." Varen then noticed the blue tint surrounding everything. "Da ba dee da ba daa, indeed." "Uh, Polaris, " Varen started, "You sure you're fine? You look different. Nice get-up, though." Varen walked up to the fallen object in front of the door and inspects it. Upon an initial once over, Varen believes the object to be some sort of broken drone. 2 hours ago, Khorne said: Felix looked baffled at his fellow Chimeran. "That's...peculiar. Why did your robot green? I've never had anything like that happen before." Continuing he followed up with more questions: "What is it exactly, anyway? An exo-suit? Is it sentient?" Meanwhile, Felix crouched and checked the surroundings for a possible trace of the missing agent, using his Survival skills. Perhaps there was something the team was overlooking on first inspection. Maybe there are routes, other than the warehouse. Felix Survival Check (DC 1, 3): 4, 5, 4, 3 (3 Success, 1 Failures) After a few minutes studying the tracks around the warehouse entrance, he notes a regular pattern of a set of tracks that seems to follow the perimeter of the warehouse, an additional set of tracks looks to have recently entered the warehouse, and finally interspersed tracks of something with six appendages seem to lead around the corner of the building as well. 2 hours ago, samurai-turtle said: I fell fine.

All I found is some humming...let's call them plants. Polaris wonders if anything is salvageable off the "drone". Then she looks at the door and checks to see if it is open. Is this thing even open?

Polaris wonders if anything is salvageable off the "drone". Then she looks at the door and checks to see if it is open. Is this thing even open? Polaris determines there's not much of value left on the drone aside from the metal and she isn't sure how that would even transfer back with her to the real world. The door seems locked. An access keypad sits to the right of the door.
KotZ Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 20 hours ago, Khorne said: The Chimeran chuckled. "That must've been one hell of a firm you worked at, Varen." "Remind me to tell you some stories when we get a chance." Varen studied the keypad. "Should we try 1234? OR we can hack in."
samurai-turtle Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 9 minutes ago, KotZ said: Varen studied the keypad. "Should we try 1234? OR we can hack in." We could try it, probably not that easy (even though that is the idiot code). The only other thing I could think of right now is check the rest of the outside of the building.

Before you woke up did any of you "dreamed" of a blizzard with a figure in it? Felix raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Nah, can't say that I have." "Did you, like, take something before doing your Ætherdive? Because if you did, I'm sure Varen would be interested in whatever it was," the Chimeran jokingly said. "And I no longer hold any official authority, so there wouldn't be a thing I could do about it, see." He started the second part of his sentence as a joke, but his tone turned somewhat bitter towards the end and Felix turned himself away from his compagnons, focusing on the tracks at hand. 22 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: Felix Survival Check (DC 1, 3): 4, 5, 4, 3 (3 Success, 1 Failures) After a few minutes studying the tracks around the warehouse entrance, he notes a regular pattern of a set of tracks that seems to follow the perimeter of the warehouse, an additional set of tracks looks to have recently entered the warehouse, and finally interspersed tracks of something with six appendages seem to lead around the corner of the building as well. Kneeling down on the ground, he let his paw slide over the ground and put his nose in the air to see if he could catch a specific scent. "We're not alone here," he murmured as he got up. "Let's check out the warehouse first. It seems as if it was recently entered. If that fails we'll take a look around the building. Keep your eyes peeled, fellas." 4 hours ago, KotZ said: "Remind me to tell you some stories when we get a chance." Varen studied the keypad. "Should we try 1234? OR we can hack in." Felix could not suppress a laugh. "You may kid, but I've seen it countless times before people actually use that as a code." The Chimeran wiped his eyes with the back of his paw. "Should we actually try '1234' or do we just try to hack it instead?", he proposed as he searched his pockets for his Hacking Chip.

Khorne Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 Watching the keypad flash red, Felix stepped up and inserted the hacking chip, trying to use his coding skills to bypass the security.
KotZ Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 "Eh, it was worth a shot." Varen then peers up at the wolfhead sign above the door. Using Culture perk, he tries to decipher it. (OOC is this allowed?)
samurai-turtle Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 How do we know it only takes four numbers to unlock the door? If it comes to the worst I could try and open the door by force.

KotZ Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 "Yeah, we got this," Varen confidently says as he unslings his rifle and brings it on line. He targets Drone B from his current position.
Khorne Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 Felix unholstered his gun and spun it around his finger. Closing one eye he took aim and shoots at Drone A from his current position. OoC: Do I need to post a Battle Order? Probably not, since the order follows Initiative, I think?
