Brotherhood of NOD base.

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Sinful took the offered hand and got to her feet. A look of anger, almost hatred covered her face.

"Thank you," she said to the soldier, before pulling out one of her swords and running the blade across her palm slicing open the skin. Blood welled at the wound as she sheathed the blade and closed the fist, letting blood patter on the floor.

"And once more, the contract has been signed," she muttered, watching the blood dribble across the floor in a pattern, spelling two names.

Gig, and SuperMeme.

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Walking through the darkened tunnels, it's possible to see the vampire's eyes glowing behind her sunglasses, which she hasn't bothered to remove at the moment, though it fades as they approach the area with the flashing screens, muted though they are. She sits quietly during the meeting, letting the two commander's hash out the details, perking up at the mention of the thembrikhal and, of course, at the two assholes.

She was about to comment on the beasts when the second wave of negative energy hit. Like Sin, she let out a howl, throwing her head back, keeping her hands clenched at her sides, her own claws digging into her hands to keep her from lashing out from the feelings.

"If he keeps that up, so help me, I'll find a way to kill him myself," she snarls as she pants, coming down from the backlash. Resting her head on the back of the chair, she draws in a breath to clear her head.

"I have an idea on how to get at Supermeme. It might not put him down, but it might weaken him enough for you guys to beat the crap out of him."

"We merely frown upon the use of deadly virual warfare. Viruses that can strengthen a man, well, those are the holy grail of combat units. If the men saw someone with the strength you possibly have, they would undoubtedly follow you into battle. If that is not enough, take this." Kane says, reaching down into one of his desk drawers as he finishes his sentence, withdrawing what appeared to be an IR strobe, and set it on the table "The commander of every fighting squad is given a special pair of goggles that identify and categorize these IR strobes. If you wear one, they will know who you are, and who you work for. Each of your squad members will be assigned one once preparations are complete. As for this Gig fellow, I believe that only yourself and your commander are suited for the job. The rest of your squad should stay here in case anything happens." Kane says, standing from his chair and snapping his fingers again, two soldiers arriving to escort Siphon to the labs "I believe Burrito can handle Gig whilst you make your bomb. My technicians will assist you in any way possible."

Siphon nods quickly.

"Very well. With due speed then, I shall return once I have an answer, no matter what it is."

He nods to each of his companions, then departs for the labs, ideas already forming in his mind.

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"No... I'll go after Gig too," Sin says as she looks at his name down on the floor. She smears both names away with her foot, knowing them now. Knowing whom she'd just been hired to... remove from the game.

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"Fair enough. While you guys figure out what you're going to do with Gig, why don't those of us not wanting to get involved work on dealing with the other two. Any info you guys have on the Blunder Twins that we might not that might come in handy?"

 

[Host]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Ah… Burrito! Good, this means I shouldn’t need to come up with too many lies.

“Burrito, good to see you here. …Though, I’m not quite sure where here is. Mind telling me just why everyone’s gathering at this plane… and why Nod forces are suddenly everywhere near the forum?”

The Black Raven hung around, and did not intend to leave until he believed Host to be safe and in no need of a quick escape.

 

[Caulder]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"An old friend of mine knows Kane. I decided to call in the favor." Burrito says, crossing his arms and looking over at the Black Raven "I'd prefer you stayed out here until we are ready to go. The leader doesn't want any unexpected guests" he says, turning his attention back to Host

"I believe the call is Burrito's. As for the two fools, my army will blockade them in their base whilst you deal with the Gig problem." Kane says, picking up the folder and pointing to Copper "My blessings to all of you in your fight. I have a meeting with my Inner Circle to attend to." Kane says, walking off as Marco directs the group to the door "Please. The Reckoner is awaiting you, and will take you to Gig's location." the soldier says, smiling as he watches Kane walk off

 

[Host]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

“Ah, well, Nod never was one for liking surprises. Something we are alike in…” Host says the last part quietly, and allows some of his annoyance to show through. None of the fear, though, or the relief that they hadn’t come for the reason he had feared… “I presume this has something to do with the supposed Supermeme, and Toonpimp? They’ve been as much a problem for the Lurkers as the forum. We would be willing to help in ending them…” Host looks inquisitive, and manages the next sentence without sounding condescending. “Sorry, but does anyone here know where they are?”

 

[Sinfulwolf]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Sin had made her way back through the base, and emerged to find Burrito and Host talking.

"They are not the only issue. We still have Gig to worry about," she said.

 

[SiphonTalvesh]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Siphon hadn't been in the lab for long when the breakthrough for the Thembrihkal came. While it wasn't a bomb per-se, it was a grenade with a gas that, when released, would prevent the Thembrihkal from feeding off anyone it encountered, as well as weakened their cellular structure to the point they weren't quite as deadly to begin with.


A smirk crossed his face as he turned his full attention to the other problem. Creating a variant bomb or gas that would allow them to weaken the other B.O.W based weaponry was next on the list, and it wasn't long before he had that too.


With this accomplished, all that was left to do was mass produce them, for which he had an idea on too. After having the various technicians garner some seemingly useless supplies and a small power supply, he began building something.

It wasn't long after he'd finished it and placed the specifications for each 'bomb' into the device that it's purpose became clear. It was a massive output replicator unit, something that should have been impossible, but Siphon was operating with stolen wraith schematics he'd memorized.


When enough had been made that the technicians knew what was going on, and a report had been made, Siphon went outside where Burrito, Host and Sinful were talking.


He arrived soon enough to hear Sin's words, and his reply would chill to the bone of anyone not already suspecting his presence.

"That wont be a problem for much longer."

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"Supermeme lives. As for his location, it's been found by NOD, but they're not telling us where. They're just preparing. Giving us enough time to kick Gig's sorry little ass back to the pit he came from." he says, his sentence being punctuated by a loud explosion nearby, a massive triangular hole appearing in the ground, with what appeared to be a pyramid rising from it. All around it, tanks and buggies began to take up positions near one side, Kane himself standing atop a bipedal machine that slowly walks towards that one side of the pyramid and turns around, Kane grasping a megaphone in his right hand, raising it to his mouth and speaking.

"Brothers and Sisters! Our time has come! We are going to put down those who would stand in the way of our ascension, and destroy the one who thinks he can rule us! Those of you who expect to die today, do not be afraid. Your deaths will not be in vain. You have all trained under my guidance, and have shown your worth! Live on! Live to see your Brotherhood flourish!!!" Kane yells into the megaphone, all of the tanks turning and moving into formation around the pyramid "Go. We will assault their fortress whilst you deal with Gig." he says into a radio after lowering the megaphone, waving to Burrito as the Reckoner from earlier skids to a halt next to them, opening up for the group to enter "Let's go kick some ass!" Burrito says, slamming his right fist into his left hand, walking towards the vehicle and growling "Hopefully, it'll be the end of him."

 

[Copper]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"Someone's been busy," Copper remarks, hearing Siphon's words. His words didn't chill so much as give a bit of relief. They'd cut a break, finally, and hopefully this would be all over soon enough.

"I think we've got their answer. Kane said they'd be keeping those two chuckleheads busy in their base while we dealt with Gig. Excuse me, while you and Siphon dealt with Gig."

She hops into the vehicle once it's possible to do so. "Might as well come along. Can we stop for popcorn so I'll have something to eat during the show?"

 

[Shrike7]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Shrike chuckles at Copper's remark. "Didn't think popcorn was your thing, Copper. I'm more of a nacho fan myself. Seriously though, why are we tagging along if you guys are going to have all the fun? We could better spend our time going after the delinquent duo."

 

[Copper]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"Actually, I'm more for pretzels, but if I'm going to get a show..." She shrugs. "And I'm all for that, honestly, but I guess Burrito wants a piece of Toonpimp just as badly as I do, so have to postpone that. Unless we hear different." She puts her attention on the two commanders.

 

[Sinfulwolf]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Sin clambered into the vehicle with Burrito. Finding a seat, she pulled out a sword and started to run a whet stone down its length. She seemed almost disappointing by what was happening.

 

[Caulder]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"The whole reason you're tagging along is so you can see the show. And get some rest if need be." Burrito says as he climbs into the vehicle, waiting for Siphon "I want to see if NOD tech can handle killing a demi-god." he says, clenching his right fist and smiling "Darkness versus light. Good versus evil. Call it what you will, but Gig is going to die."

 

[SiphonTalvesh]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Siphon paused only long enough to instruct several of the soldiers, as well as Kane on the specifics of the grenades.

"Larger one for the Thembrihkal, smaller ones for T/G viral creations. Probably won't outright kill them alone, but will definitely weaken them. We'll rendevous asap."


Then he turned and boarded their ride.

"Time to finish this."


It was now that they might catch the barest hint of runed metal glinting from his clothing/armor, something that hadn't been there the last time they checked.

 

[Sinfulwolf]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

"I'm here for more than a ride," Sin said as she ran the whetstone down her blade once again.

 

[Host]

Re: Brotherhood of NOD base.

Supermeme lives.

“So you say.” Host says coldly, and is silent till Kane appears, causing him to smile slightly at the cyborg’s wording and add, in good humour, “You sure you’re not confusing people…?”

“Very good,” Host says, quietly analysing Kane’s speech. “’Your deaths will not be in vain’ line immediately followed by ‘you will all live’. Fill them with pride and selflessness, and then negate the bad effects of making them think about death by using doublethink. Inspired.”

“Host,” says the Black Raven, shortly after Kane’s speech ends. “Rhomus has need to speak with you.” Host excused himself with “Sorry, I should take this call,” made his way to the Black Raven, and had him set his suit to broadcast and receive so they could talk, distant enough to be out of earshot of the various others around.

“You’ve lucky I was still with the Black Raven, Rhomus.”

“I truly did not expect you to be, Host. Kabrok told me you were still with him and I thought you had better know.”

‘What?”

“Gig has finished whatever he was doing above the battleground, and he’s coming for you. Also, Grave wants to use our satellites to locate something, supposedly a person, and to keep him informed about the activities of Burrito’s squad.”

There wasn’t much Host could do about Gig, so he concentrated on Grave to start with. “You mean he isn’t attacking you? I would have thought he’d make more of a nuisance of himself… If we aid him it’s something we can hold him to. And that could mean removing a problem before it becomes problematic. It could be a trap… but I don’t think so." Host coughed twice, his tone becoming more official. "The Lurkers give their word to inform Grave about Burrito’s squad, and the forum in general. Find this being for him, too… but find out more about it.”

“Yes, sir.”

Host walked away from the Black Raven and towards the transport loading with the ULMF members. “Question, guys… do you know where Gig is? He isn’t hovering over the trenches anymore, if you were thinking of looking there… some Lurkers saw him leave. According to them he is, however, heading towards us… I suggest we get a good distance away from this base before we give it away, hmm?”
