Thompson Inc Salvage mission - RPLOG

Watching Mira enter the front entrance alone, Dio couldn't just let her walk in despite how clear the initial scouting said it was. Before he took off to follow the taur, Dio gives a nod of approval to the soldier. He didn't exactly want to split the team up, but Dio was sure trained soldier and his remaining man could handle himself. The lion sprints his way towards Mira but slows down once he gets towards the door. He peeks his head in and commits the layout to his head. Slowly and silently, to make sure not to trigger anything, Dio follows a few feet behind the taur. In a whisper, he leans towards Mira and says, "Have any idea what this liquid is? You seem to be of the science type from what I've seen. Perhaps we should get closer and listen to whatever is doing that breathing up there?" Dio returns to his normal stance and reads the sign. Don't feed the reactor? He wonders the significance of that statement. Perhaps some sort of biotic reactor?

Miranai looks around once inside and tries to get a fell for it, "This.. umm.. this plant should have a way down stairs... to the.. r.. reactor, and.. I'm.. guessing it means not to put things inside it? I mean.. it would be radio..a..ctive.." She stops thinking on that word. It repeats in her head a few times. She shakes it of, "Just..b.. becareful.. Nanites don't.. like radioactive things.." She says. When asked about the goop, she shrugs, "I'm not sure.. It.. it seems t.. to be organic.. o.. or chemical.. I'm not sure." She says "I.. I tend to stick to.. e.. electonics, not.. chemcials and.. things, I'm sorry.." She says. She leans outside to say to the Skunk Girl, "Yes, friends, we are friends." Then continues on, her bots following, Tod included, those with feet and paws wiping them before trying to tred carefully around the goo in the middle toward the catwalk.

Tiya pauses at the lip of what appears to be a giant sink, frowning and stepping forwards. She carefully steps down at an angle on the slope, her hooves scuffing a little as she slips a tiny bit. The mare heads towards the nearest egg, confused at everything that's happening, poking at the nearest thing, running her fingers over the surface, plainly trying to work out who the mother is, and more importantly if she's still around.

Seeing the situation as it escalates, the field officer does the wisest thing he can while keeping to the tennets of self sacrifice and bravado that make the US HARD Corps bad asses and American military hold outs.

"L-T, take samples of this slime and cautiously detach an egg from the wall and return to Zephyr with it, this just became priority one intel...if I have to kill that thing to get the rest back, they'll want samples and a live specimen.  Tiya  I'm going in, use my coils to follow if you wish, otherwise you can guard the rear."  

With that the serpent coils his tail tip around the nearest solid sturdy object and then plunges into the hole, his mass and length growing until he could strangle a behemoth with his coils, likely providing him the length and mass needed to pursue the attacker and possibly consume it whole depending on it's size.
 
The door opens near Miranai and Dio to reveal a clockwork fox raccoon guy with a box of in his hands. He sees the pair and lets out a screech before shutting the door again and the sound of something heavy being pushed in front of it. The liquid around the pair begins to bubble rapidly while low growls echoing off the wall." 

The LT has little problem getting sample and detaching the egg that almost the size of a beach ball. Deeper in the hole in the center is chittering shouting that seems to be getting fainter and fainter. It sounds of the rest of Cerris crew and the gurgling echos from the whole not revealing how deep the strange creature has burrowed.
 
"Like mechanical things, eh? That's alright, I understand." Dio crouches down and gets a much closer look at the strange liquid. "Hmm, this stuff here seems to be quite dense with nanites. How interesting..." Dio hears the door open and immedietly shoots up to an alert position. "No need for stealth anymore I suppose." The lion looks back towards the goop and sees it move. Do it's nanite structure, Dio attempts to use Anti Nanomagic, but it doesn't seem to do very much. Dio decides to sprint after the strange racoon fox. He deactivates his anti nanomagic and pulls out a small stone orb from his pocket. He fires off several pieces of stone shrapnel at the door, but unfortunatly it was too thick. "Shit," the lion shouts as he finally makes it to the door.
 
Miranai looks around at the goop that has them surrounded, "Umm..D.. Di.. Dio.. I .. I think it umm.. didn't like something that happened..." She says gesturing to the goop and slinking up against him with a whine. She makes sure her unusual rifle is ready to go, and has her bots similarly prepared. Once up against the door with the lion, she has GBX stand up front and get ready to shift to defence mode, while preparing NURSE to take care of any injuries they will likely sustain. As the goop bubbles more and more, she whimpers a bit, "D.. Dio..." Tod looks up to Mira and hides under her tauric belly while waiting to see what happens himself.
 
Tiya stops her investigation of the egg at the screams from down the tunnel. She walks over to the lip of the drop and squats down, peering down into the depths, pouting. "I bet we have to go down there, right?" she says, plainly upset. The mare pauses for a moment, gathering spittle in her mouth before horking down the hole, listening for a splash and reflecting how lucky she is to not be under anyone's control in this room. "Bet it's a mouth," she says, shrugging.
 
Deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole we go, the serpent's coils spiralling to aid allow the pony maid to follow behind him in the gloom. Brief tastes of the air and slime in addition to the sounds he hears has clued him in and his rumbling voice comes from the pit to warn Tiya.  

"This is the nest of some sort of mutant walking vagina!  This will be messy. "  Then as he continues in pursuit of their voices he roars into the darkness "Apone, Vasquez, Hicks...Hang tough and fight hard, I'm coming to help give that sloppy sack of dicks a bad day."  

Alright sports fans, time to make that slime, these wings and coils work together to ascelerate his path to his crew, jaws prepared to gape with an engulphing bite for anything foolish enough to stsnd in his way.
 
The growling around the Miranai and Dio become louder and louder before the pool of black ooze begins to solidify into dozen's of feline forms dripping with black ichor. A exceptionally large one towers over the pair and growls loudly before the smaller ones start to attack.
