− | <div></div> | + | <div></div><br> <br>The Bozeman area, home to many reptiles, once a home to knowledge and learning. It was a short trip to get here, however staying could prove troublesome. Approching the delapidated university, many such reptiles, mostly of old, run here or there. They don't seem keen on permitting others into their homes, and their homes do not look the most inviting to begin with. Falling chucks of the university are the number one hazard, followed by having the floor suddenly cave in under you. Caution was more then slightly warned by Nichole, Robert, and Penelope for those who are Prommie, Z, And RSX respectively.<br> <br>Siyu walks with the group, the short rodent dressed in desert camo, and with his large bag. The survivalist rodent just keeps his poncho low and his ears flat, the Promethean just coming to help. Prehaps gain some knoledge. He scouts in the front really, looking back as he spies the old university. "We're here guys..." he nods his head, "Place looks about ready to fall down, do we have any information on where the lady is keeping the books?"<br> <br>Buzamu idly wonders if she should have put on her utilities, if only atop the bodysuit, but as it was, she was glad she thought to bring her rifle and it's ammo, along with her knife and pistol. So other than not having her grenades and body armor were worrysome, the goal of this task wasn't blast their way in. It was just to talk to this professor and earn their trust to get ahold of these books. "Not a clue. Wasn't exactly given in the brief I got on route. Not sure about others."<br> <br>Liana:stays a short distance ahead of the group, perhaps ten feet. She doesn't seem comfy with idle talk, but does excell at keeping watch and looking for trouble, and her regeneration lets her recover from nearly anything an initial ambush may cause. Her tail swishes softly in time with her steps as she walks, her arm-scythes extended as she keeps point. "It seems to be clear so far...just don't do something stupid like shoot a gun or yell and we should be fine."<br> <br>McPirate takes up the rear of the group, towering over the rest of the party at over twenty feet tall. With massive, booming steps he lumbers forward. Spotting the university, he grows concerned that his very presence might cause the building to collapse. "Think that place can hold someone like me?" He asks in his deep, rumbling voice. "Looks like it'll fall over if Siyu sneezed, let alone if I walked in."<br> <br>On the little trip over, Edel remained fairly silent, as per usual. Her focus mostly on making a fashionable straw hat, which is now upon her head. Slinking up behind the group she glances at the path ahead, and then at Pirate. "I dunno," she says abruptly. "I think I'll hang back, though, just in case. If the floor gives way I don't really want to follow."<br> <br>Hearing the tale of possible sources of wonderful preserved knowledge, a herm lioness makes hir way for the library in hir typical professional garb. However, Dio was quite aware of the dangerous nature of the area, so extra caution was taken in the form of some good armor beneath hir clothes and a nanite buffer to at least help reduce the pain should some dangerous things topple upon hir. "I can't imagine that having someone more than fifteen feet tall would be great in a collapsing building," Dio replies, not far from stepping hir way inside. "Perhaps we can gather some information from the various people here. Or perhaps if this is truly a professor, they could simply be in their office."<br> <br>The combined clammering of the agents around, and with McPirate being far heavier the then buildings are used to, a second of the east wing of the Departmant of Human Sciences can be heard falling over. The structures obviously won't take the weight of something so large. However, large or not, and with numbers on the agents side, it seems the verious Rapt-taurs and others are taking an interest in the forengin creatures in their territory.<br> <br>Siyu remains standing on top of a rock as he looks out over the cumbling campus, "Well we could be very noisy and try to find her, but likely somthiing very bad will find us if we're not very quiet. Search teams prehaps? But only those light of foot. Otherwise yes we'll bring buildings down. Prehaps the library is a good place to start?" he hops down and searchs a bit..finding what he was looking for! A large campus map. Fadded but still legible, "here! Should we start there?" he inquires. He winces as he hears the building fall, "Well so much for being quiet..."<br> <br>Buzamu grimances at the building collpasing. "Either size down, or let's keep moving. I dunno how, feral these folks are, and I'd very much like to not find out without making some progress to the target." She says, making sure the magazine in the well had a blue strip of tape on it. Her non-lethal rounds. Better than blowing them away at least for now.<br> <br>"Blah blah blah, how bout this little man? How bout we don't split up into little groups, and stick together? Jeez man, when is splitting up with monsters all about ever a good idea?" McPirate protests, even though he knows he can't enter the university.<br> <br>Edel wiggles her fingers at Dio in a little wave. "Hello again, mister lion. And yes, if you seek light footed scouts, I'm your lady! Discretion and sneakery are what I am best at, yes indeed. And I'd prefer to get away from any stomping around that people do."<br> <br>Liana sighs as she looks over the others, wincing a little at the lack of stealth McPirate contributes. "The map is a good start, but it won't take account for collapsed buildings, rubble, and critter nests. And...Spliiting up sounds great. Loud people stay here, the quiet ones, go in farther..." She grins as she says this, joking...mostly.<br> <br>Buzamu nods. "Besides, keeping giant out here keeps these critters from getting, too curious about us." She says, jerking a thumb at McPirate.<br> <br>With a map in hand, and caution abound about care and light feet, there is still no real movement forward. Curiousity about these strange creatures seems to be growing in the locals, a Tricerataur carefully venturing a bit close, followed by a Stegosaurian. The others look to those two to find any reaction from the agents around.<br> <br>"Hate you all." McPirate grumbles, taking a seat on a small building as he begins his guard duty. He grimaces as he hears roars out in the distance. He hated raptor.<br> <br>Siyu at least knows the general location, "Do we think the library might be a good place? I don't know where she might b e keeping the books." the short rodent earflattens at Mcpirate and he'll just sink into his desert camoed poncho. Liting the hood up and going quiet.<br> <br>Buzamu shakes her head. "Let's just get moving huh? Staying here is making us BFTs, and I don't like having this many bullseyes on my back." She says, moving to the front of the 'stack' as it were. "Which way oh map holder?" She states, rather though it was phrased as a question, her rifle at the ready to help them work their way through.<br> <br>Liana turns and carefully watches the ferals as they get bolder, motioning towards them. "If they do anything aggressive, deal with them hard and fast, or the others will think we lack means to defend ourselves and swarm us." She takes a few steps forewards, waiting to see if the rest of the group besides Buzamu is ready to continue on, at least until they reach a more unstable area. <br> <br>"A map?" Dio questions, giving a tap to the armor beneath hir clothing and straightening out hir suit-coat. "How lucky we are indeed. The library would be a good place to start, and failing that, perhaps we can find hir office." The lioness looks towards the curious creatures, but tries to pay them no mind in order to not stir up any uneeded agression.<br> <br>With more then enough time to judge the agents abound it seems that a few of the ferals have decided it is worth a shot to see if they can take the agents for their own! The group quite surrounded by them, five pounce out at the would be scavangers!<br> <br>"Shit! I count five!" Yells out McPirate, leaping to his feet and preparing his forearm guns.<br> <br>Liana hisses and crouches as the ferals attack, immediately heading after the flyer, her own insectile wings helping her leap after it.<br> <br>"Figures, CONTACT!" She barks out, raising her rifle and engaging the first one to approach the group, firing her rifle, glad for having loaded the rubber rounds before hand.<br> <br>Siyu feels the presence of so many creatures coming towards him and he tosses off his poncho and drops his bag, preparing for combat going to the small of his back and pulling out a wicked serrated knife<br> <br>Edel scowls a little, securing her hat as she concentrates her nanowizardry, picking up a lot of the rubble already in the area to send them at just about every individual she doesn't like.<br> <br>The dinos continue their assult, it seems a few are working to protect the others, however, it is clear they are at a disadvantage. Still, ferals aren't the most wise creatures around, so with claws, horns, and teeth flying around the battlefield, they continue their assult.<br> <br>Liana causes her arm-blades to ignite with one of her many mutations, then wades into the largest group to wildly lash about with the blazing scythes, taking a good number of hits in return for it. <br> <br>Buzamu grumbles, noting how close the hostiles had managed to get, and rather than try for another burst, proceeded to slam the stock of her rifle against the nearest one's head, before lowering the rifle, and grabbing ahold of the magazine, and pulling the trigger on the Masterkey shotgun mounted to the bottom of her rifle.<br> <br>Liana gives her party a quick glance to make sure none of them are heavily injured, before returning her focus to the fight, sending a surge of electricity through those unlucky enough to be near her.<br> <br>With the support taken down, the remaining three renew their fighting, trying to trade blow for blow with the agents for their fallen comrades. More claws, more hate burning from the ferals, however, the display seems to be having an effect on those just watching though, as those not already in the fight back away.<br> <br>McPirate opens fire on the nearest enemy, spraying the air with bullets. He watches as it runs off under the heavy fire. "Yeah, that's right! Piss off you little shits!" He yells, love for the fight in his voice.<br> <br>Edel slips her 'bow' back and out of the way, instead reaching for one of her swords, her silent guardians never straying too far from her side, so as to be able to ward off attacks made upon their caller. She steps forward, swift movements carrying her out of the way of a blow, while even swifter movements return one of her own.<br> <br>Dio begins cracking hir fists and rolls back hir shoulders for a good stretch while a few shards of sharp prisms pierce into a foe, stopping its advance and attack. After leaning far far back with hir right hand, almost as if shi were throwing a pitch, the lioness slams a powerful wild haymaker into the side of a raptor's head with a solid crack, putting it down for the count. It might take more than ten seconds for that raptor to come back up. Still quite in range, Dio attempts to grab a poor foe and choke some strength out of them for hir own use.<br> <br>Siyu gets a couple of thick heavy stabs in, the serrated dagger just cuasing a few gouts of blood. The short rodent runs back as the last one falls and he's covered in some blood and splatter. He pants and shakes his head, giving a gulp and finding a tear of cloth to clean off his knife from the gore, "Shit...so much for friendlies."<br> <br>With the more curious ones handled, most of the others back away, though continue to watch from shadows, or behind corners. A direct assult didn't seem to deture the adverturous agents, but maybe, another chance will show itself to those who are more cunning, stealthy, or patient.<br> <br>Edel steps up to one of the downed ferals and... Just sort of wipes her blade clean on it before sliding it back into the scabbard, before adjusting her hat and pushing up her glasses. As an afterthought, and as a sign of good will, she deposits some little trinket by one of the defeated ferals and a small cup of long-cold tea. "Right then. No more waiting around. I'm going in." Not very far, though. She lingers on the other side of the entrance, waiting for the others.<br> <br>Liana almost savagly attacks and chases off the ferals that have caught her attention, slashing at them repeatedly and hissing as she chases them a short ways, making sure to drive home the point to never attack travellers again. She re-folds her armblades and huffs softly once the area is reasonably secure, walking back to rejoin the group. "Hopefully that will keep the others at bay. If not, use more explosions, fire, and noise. But let's get a move on for now, hrm?" She turns and starts to head in with Edel...but can't help but lift a brow at the offerings. "Tea...? Really?"<br> <br>McPirate grins madly as he takes his forearm guns back into his arm. "That all you lousy shits got?" He taunts to the retreating ferals. He turns toward the group and begins to shrink is size a little bit. "Yeah, I am not staying out here. I'll try to be careful inside, but it's gonna be dangerous." He says, worry replacing his previous bravado.<br> <br>Buzamu grunts, once the ferals run off, loads another rubber slug into the tube of her Masterkey. Looking over the area around them, her gaze is focused on the Physical Sciences building. "Light source, faint, flickering. Intact building, halfway across to the west. Floor four, far side of it. Possibly our friend." She says, pointing out the specfic building. As she doesn't know the campus, nor has she seen the map, she doesn't know what it's called, but simply calls out what she can describe of it.<br> <br>Siyu nods, "So where did you want to start looking? The Library is up north, behind registration...or, does anyone have a better idea where the books would be stored?"<br> <br>After the adrenaline fueled by combat began to wear down, Dio shook hir fist to get off a bit of the pain from such a big punch. But hell, it sure was satisfying. "Quite. However, those were only the weak ones. It's possible they could send the more stronger ones at us next time around when we get into the building's heart," shi comments, once more straightening out hir clothing in a fashion conscious manner. "We should probably get this done as soon as possible before such happens. Heading to this interesting building might be a good start. Ferals wouldn't know much about keeping a light source going, but a more sane individual would."<br> <br>While the discussion continues, the only indication that the group is still being watched is the sounds of clawed feet, or heavy hooves moving about, no easily seen sights, but, it would seem that everyone is still being observed.<br> <br>Edel glances over her shoulder towards Pirate. "Do not taunt them, please." She gives a nod to Liana. "Tea, yes. I did not have much, but I'm hoping that when they awake, they'll realize maybe we're not the bad guys. And any onlookers will see that we are trying to be friendly. I have no clue if it'll help, but it's worth a shot."<br> <br>McPirate starts to get worried hearing the sounds. "Lets just get inside now, before any more of them show up." He grumbles out.<br> <br>Buzamu sighes and rolls eyes. "I'm checking the light out." She says, readying her rifle, and moving tactical fast across the campus, heading for hte building she'd found. It was a good thing her bodysuit didn't have any glows to it, but it would be hard for those without adapted night-vision or actual NODs to see her otherwise because of her scales. Sure, the suit was bright coloured, but that didn't mean much in darkness.<br> <br>Dio gives a small check to hir gear and then sets off for the building, following after Buzamu in a rather quick pace. Shi keeps hir eyes out for anymore curious ferals that might fancy a good ambush, while also doing hir best not to fall prey to dangerous falling structures.<br> <br>Liana starts to raise a hand to call out to the shadow dragon to not go alone..before sighing and shaking her head, realizing it would only hurt her chances to call out attention to her. She moves to the side of the entrance, crouching down and pulling a horribly over-sized rifle/cannon from her back, unfolding it and taking aim, ready to cover Buzamu if needed. Her aim was crap, but she only needed to hit the general area of her target, if any ferals attacked.<br> <br>McPirate follows along behind the rest, his massive weight making every one of his steps boom. For once in his life, he was really starting to wish he was smaller. At least with his robotic nightvision he could see perfectly, but all that meant was that he could see the ferals scampering out in the distance.<br> <br>Drawing closer to the building in question, those that choose to follow, see that the light is indeed maintined by someone as they move around the room they are in. A shadow can be seen cast in the window. Also, a lot less sounds of ferals at this way. However, with the sounds of McPirate moving around, whomever it is inside seems to start! Those with keen hearing can hear someone taking a large breath, then, the light goes out. |
+ | |||
+ | Those who remained behind would hear the ferals moving around, seems curiocity was peaking again with the group spread out now.<br> <br>Liana does notice as the light if blown out, that giving away instantly that intelligence is behind it. Without a second thought she dashes along behind the shadow dragoness, trying to catch up to her before things get bad...<br> <br>Edel takes Liana's and Glein's lead, darting off after them towards the light source, one hand pressed to her hat to keep it from blowing away.<br> <br>Buzamu grumbles. "Alright, we had a pretty solid idea of the room position. It's gonna get tricky since we don't know the interior condition." She says, quietly, thought it's unlikely that it was needed with the tank basically causing miniature earthquakes every step. "While I'd normally say pair up and search, but we've got no idea how fucked the situation is inside. We got a good scout?" She asks, looking over those who'd caught up.<br> <br>Liana raises her hand in response to Buzamu, nodding. "Being a point-woman scout is my speciality. And if the worst happens, I can regen fast enough to not be out for more than a few minutes, unless something like a rocket hits me. Which I really hope our contact here doesn't have access to. What did you have in mind?<br> <br>Dio grimaces under hir breath when shi sees the light turn off, but at least that confirms someone was up there maintaining it. "I can assume that the interior condition is quite awful," shi comments, looking at the door. "Someone can scout if they desire, but try not to go too far. No matter how good they are at walking around, if they stray then we'll have to run through a destroyed building." The lioness takes the shotgun hanging off hir back and points it towards the ground while she puts a hand to hir ear, hearing something quite curious. "Someone is certainly shuffling around in there near that room with the light. They also seemed to close something case-like. Perhaps it was the container for the books?"<br> <br>Siyu returns his poncho, keeping it on, and putting away his knife, the short rodent just stands next to Dio, he'll follow, slowly, staying back but not moving that fast himself.<br> <br>Edel peers at Dio. "Or the case for a gun. It's hard to say without looking, but I am also a capable scout, if you wish me to do it." She looks up towards the window, frowning. "Hopefully they're not hostile towards us. What's our move?"<br> <br>The decaying buildings can be heard by all to shift and crumble a bit more, including the Physical Sciences building. A chunk of rock falls from the outside, landing only a foot or two away from Edel. The window in question is then slid shut, and maybe locked.<br> <br>Buzamu nods. "Whoever wants to scout, keep 4 paces ahead of us. Once your in, we're following. Let's get up as fast as we can without attracting more attention to ourselves." She says, not caring if Edel or Liana took lead as they both claimed to be good scouts, so long as they kept moving.<br> <br>McPirate looks up at the window which is just barely above eye level to him. "You know, I could just lift you up to that window and break it right? Much faster and since they already know we're here, might as well do it." He suggest to the gathered party.<br> <br>"Sure," Dio replies after hearing McPirate's suggestion. "At the very least, I'll take a peek through the window and attempt to open it up and report an valuable information I can gather while I'm up there." The lioness moves closer to McPirate and then nods, showing shi's ready to be picked up.<br> <br>Liana looks up to McPirate and tilts her head..then shrugs lightly. "Breaking it may be extreme but I don't see how a polite knock on the window could hurt. Would show we have better than average resources to draw on, as well. Anyone here a good diplomat?"<br> <br>Siyu looks around, "I'll keep watch..." siyu will turn and look out in the darkness, trying to keep an eye out for Feral attack.<br> <br>Edel gestures to Dio. "Dio is one of the best diplomats I know. If we want a talking approach, he... She? He's our man. Though if you want to be cruel, I can return the rock to sender, but I'd rather not do that yet."<br> <br>McPirate lowers his colossal hand to the ground to gather up volunteers for the window plan. Two could easily fit on it, three if they scrunched together.<br> <br>Buzamu chuckles and points to Dio. "Hir." She states in response to Liana's statement. "So, Edel, Ma'am, who's taking point, or should I?"<br> <br>Dio looks at the hand and then back at the group before proceeding. "Negotiation is my prided skill. Hopefully we can get through this without needed to use any force, and I'll do whatever I can to take those books in a legitimate matter." With one last nod, shi steps aboard McPirate's hand. "And you may call me ma'am, shi, sir, her, or whatever you choose. I'm not picky."<br> <br>Liana clambers atop the palm, a bit to the back so Dio is the first face seen by whoever is at the room. "I'll be ready to back you up...or heal you, if needed, Dio. let's see this talking skill of yours, eh?"<br> <br>The haze clearning, there is a full moon out, shining down on all, and eyes, dozens of eyes can be seen from where the agents came from. They are getting closer. And they don't look to happy. With the better illumination, those out in the open make for easier targets.<br> <br>Seeing the ferals getting closer through his nightvision, McPirate raises his hand to the window, simultaneously extending his forearm cannons in preperation for the battle. "You better make it quick in there." He says to his two passengers.<br> <br>Siyu gulps a little bit, "Hey guys...guys...they're getting closer. Uh...uh does anyone have an HMG?" he asks as he'll pull out his knife again, warning the others near him.<br> <br>Buzamu looks back and growls. "Okay folks, in we go! We're on the clock now!" She states, flicking on her rifle's attached flash light and opening the door. "Dio! Work fast! We're moving in from the lower floors!" She barks, swinging around the doorframe and into the building to find her way up four floors through whatever chaos had occured inside the building.<br> <br>Dio wobbles a bit as shi gets lifted up, but soon finds hirself face to face with the window. The lioness cracks hir knuckles and grabs the window's bottom and begins pulling upwards with all hir strength. With a grunt and some leonine power, the lock cracks and breaks, allowing Dio to open up the window and then clamber on inside.<br> <br>Edel glances at the ferals and wordlessly starts to slink back, hoping to hide from anything that might wish her harm.<br> <br>Liana dives in after the lioness, leaving McPirate free to use both hands. As soon as she lands both arm blades half-extend, ready, but not acticly threatening as she looks around the room for signs of movement.<br> <br>McPirate immediatly assumes a fighting stance, all guns aimed on the horizon. Growing bigger in size to increase his firepower, he prepares to hold the line.<br> <br>Those entering from the bottom of the building would be greeted by rubble, lots of it, but some of it seems to be a bit more stratigically placed then chance would have. Blocking both the elevators, as if they would still be working, as well as the stairs. It is completely dark inside except for the moonlight coming in from the windows. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Those coming into the window see a similar situation nothing much to give light, bare outlines of a table, a bed, a desk, a large case, and a door. However, one sound is clear, the cocking of a shot gun, as well as some words directly behind where Liana is hiding, "Don't move!" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below in the walkways of the campus, the eyes get closer, though still not attacking thoughs who choose to stay behind.<br> <br>Siyu sucks a breath, "Does anyone have flares...or a flahs bang, I think they might be scared off by somthing bright or loud...somthing to break them out of us"<br> <br>Liana freezes still at the voice, her arm-blades folding back down flat against her arms, harmless this way. Slowly she raises them, hands upwards to show she's holding nothing. "We're here to talk. Us being armed as we are is a precaution to the copious amount of dangerous inhabitants of the area to get to here. We mean no harm." She doesn't look back yet, not wantint to spook whoever is behind her more than needed.<br> <br>It looks like Dio found a lovely place to hide for the most part, but shi wasn't going to simply let someone get hold up by gunpoint and leave the area. After all, she was hir co-worker. The lioness slowly raises hir hands into the air and comes out of hir hiding spot, showing no signs of hostility. "Indeed. As I'm sure you're aware, there are quite a dangerous bunch of ferals out there. We've received word that someone might have some preserved literature and we've simply come to talk about it. Would you perhaps know anything about a professor and such books? Perhaps we can even help you."<br> <br>Buzamu works her way up and over the rubble, though it was close a few times, nearly slipping a few times, but she's soon over the rubble. Making sure her weapons were ready, it actually almost made her glad to not have come in armor or utilities. They wouldn't have worked through as well, even if not having them reduced her overall combat effectiveness or her ability to blend. As it was, she proceeded to climb the floors, finding the way mostly clear. Which further reinforced that the rubble had been planted more than happenstance.<br> <br>The voice inside gives a growl, but stops as whomever it is hears words, "You are some band of raiders or ferals here to fuck with me?" the very addroginous voice says. The next sound heard is of the clanging of something metel hitting something stone, "Don't move still!" The voice says, shuffling around then, a flicker as the light comes back on, indeed a lamp. Standing there is a Philosiraptor herm, nude, and judging by hir drooling pussy, half erect and dripping cock, and blood shot eyes, shi'd been resisting a lot of baser urges for quite a while. Shi blinks a few times in the light, "Who are you, and what do you want?" Shi asks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Climbing up was easy, till Buzamu got to the floor just below her objective. Once there, the floor starts to give way, crumbling below her. With quick foot work, and fast reflexes however, she manages to dance along the floor and keep her footing to the next stair well. Path once more clear. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Down below and outside, the hungry eyes get every closer to the massive bullseye that is the tank called McPirate, one can almost hear the bellies rumbling, claws scrapping, almost feel the heat from their breath.<br> <br>Buzamu grunts, jumping forward and hopping her way across teh crumbling floor, her wings giving an extra 'puff' of air as needed to help her get across. Once on stable ground, she let's out a breath she found herself to be holding. Shaking her head to refocus, she make sure her rifle was ready and continued up, her eyes glancing and searching. It was always more difficult to find a place from inside when you saw it from teh outside. Still, she prayed she had a good enough recollection to find her way. Reaching the point she was pretty sure the room was in, she slammed against the wall next to the door, and started straining her hearing to see if she could hear her team inside.<br> <br>Liana turns around slowly as the light flicks on, hands still held. She blinks her emerald eyes several times in surprise at the sight of the owner of the voice, her cheeks flushing at the sight of the raptor. She embaressedly clears her throat before speaking, though it's clear she's a little distracted. "Um...W-would raiders have knocked? And if we were ferals, we wouldn't be equipped with weapons and speaking clearly...We came through dangerous territory to talk and bargain. er...i-if that's alright with you?" She looks back to Dio with a "Help me!" expression, a bit off guard and unsure of what to do or say.<br> <br>As requested, Dio doesn't move from hir spot and keeps hir hands high in the air while shi looks upon the distressed raptor. This must be the person they were searching for. "We came here after hearing a rumor some professor had some preserved books in their possession. We're part of the K&S Organization, and our latest project is to scan books to preserve and allow everyone to read them. A wonderful goal, don't you think? I see that you're also in distress. We can get you some food, shelter, help, and safety should you come with us. Have you heard of RSX, Zephyr, or the Prometheans? The Prometheans especially, as they excel in helping people with their urges."<br> <br>Siyu looks up at Mcpirate since she's the only one around him on the outside, "Please tell me do you ahve a flashbang or a grenade, just somthing, I can try and scare them off I just need somthign to distract them"<br> <br>"Siyu, I have a giant ass cannon, and that's it. I have no idea what's going to happen when I fire it, and I'm really hoping I don't need to." NcPirate replies to the terrified rodent next to him.<br> <br>The lizard friendly growls a moment and clenches hir claws, a throb through hir cock speaking volumes, "You say you have someplace other then here? Is it crumbling apart like this place is?" shi finally asks, breath messured carefully. Sleep deprived eyes full of lust trying to fight back both as shi looks to Dio and Liana. "If you have... enough people to carry my... belongings, then lets leave here, if that is true, but.. I want some proof. The only reason I've stayed is I didn't think anyone or anything else survived.. in .. tact.." shi gives a grunt, falling to a knee, sniffing at the air frantically. The smell of someone in heat near, hir cock rising to full mast. Looking up, hir eyes narrow to slits, tongue coming out to lick hir lips. Hir door is unlocked, and Buzamu can easily hear what is going on. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Down below the ferals finally decide to make a move, jumping out toward McPirate, a few managing to get around to her sides for their assult!<br> <br>McPirate yells out as he leaps to the side and turns, ground shaking as he lands. Spreading his legs and assuming a fight stance, he takes aim and fires off the massive shoulder cannon. The noise from the shot rocks through the entire campus and the surrounding area, the flames from the shot alone lighting up the entire place for a short second. Dust flies up all around him and the recoil nearly knocks him off his feet. Regaining his balance, he starts to open fire with his machine guns into the horde.<br> <br>Buzamu takes a deep breath, and makes sure the rifle is ready. "Friendly coming in!" She barks, openign the door and swinging around the door frame. "I heard. We can get you and your things out of here, but we need to move now. Let's grab what we can now. I doubt the window's an option right now." She states, slinging the rifle and pointedly ignoring the state the person's state, knowing they were running out of time. The roar from the main cannon of a M1A1 was a sound she almost forgot about, but it was such a beautiful sound to hear for her. Then the roof started falling apart. Which meant keeping the rubble from crushing them or their target.<br> <br>"Look at my clothing," Dio claims, gesturing towards hir professional business skirt and appropriate suit-coat. "We have clothing that does not decay, our bellies are full, and we have the time to investigate various areas rather than raid them like dangerous fellows. And we even have communicators such as this. Please watch." The lioness lowers one of hir arms and digs out hir communicator, displaying hir contacts, freecred, and faction affiliation. "We have an economy, factions, society! Surely this is all proo-" Hearing the shots ring out, the lioness worries about the repercussions considering the building. Rubble tries to fall upon hir body, but with a strong application of force, shi's able to push it aside with heafty grunts. | ||

+ | "Yes, we need to leave immediately! Anywhere is safer than here. Grab the case, professor and lets find somewhere safe!"<br> <br>Siyu dives out of the way as the cannon goes off and he will cover his ears, "Fuck fuck fuck...." he just curses at the huge noise and trying to stay out of the way<br> <br>Liana yelps as the roof starts falling in, snapping out of her awkwardness. She quickly moves over to Buzamu, poiting for her to lead the way. 'Shi's horny, you're in heat, shi's gonna be following you if we can't snap hir out of it. Be ready to run for it so we don't get squished as mister BigMcLargehuge wages war outside."<br> <br>Edel cringes when the shots go out, scurrying along the outskirts, sticking to the walls as she seeks to put some distance between herself and the conflict, ducking behind cover when she feels she's far enough away.<br> <br>The good professor doesn't seem to be home anymore, the smell of a female in need of having her womb stuffed, weither her body was effect her mind or not was all the base needs inside hir needed to tip the scale. As the building rumbles and the floor above starts to become the floor below, shi rolls out of the way, nearly smashing the case in question. Shi makes an awkward lunge for Buzamu, but the building's unsteady nature keeps hir from making contact. Shi lets out a roar of frustration as shi steadies hirself for another attempt. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the outside, quite a few ferals are caught in the blast, taking cuts and wounds abound, however, continuing their assult through. Spooting another target, Siyu, a few break off to go for her instead! The attacks on McPirates hide seem less then effective, but upon Siyu much more so, claws and teeth ripping into her for minor injuries all through out. Edel on the other hand continues to be unfound.<br> <br>Siyu oh shit! He grunts and grabs at his knife, the serrated knuckl duster flashes out, ripping hard itno flesh as he's surrounded, "Fuck you! Nnngh! Get away!" he shouts and slashes with his knife, stabbing and trying to get them to back off.<br> <br>Buzamu grumbles. "GET HIR OUT NOW! WE'LL RECOVER THE REST OURSELVES!" She barks, realizing what was wrong. At this point, they needed the professor AND the books they'd managed to save out of here. At this point, no time for subtlty. She saw the case was locked, but didn't bother with trying to unlock it, she just unslung her rifle, and smashed the glass with the buttplate of its stock. "Grab the books and let's get out of here!" She states, stepping away from teh case now.<br> <br>Liana curses as the shadow dragon ignores her and stays in the room. She leaps between her and the raptor, trying to grip the professors shoulders, trying her best to shift hir attention away, or at least slow hir. "Calm yourself! You are human, you have control! Don't you give into the instincts yeet, not when you're so close to getting out of this hellhole!"<br> <br>Edel glances over her shoulder and continues on creeping, hoping to get back to the street where she can await the others. The further away she is from all this mess, the better, as far as she's concerned.<br> <br>Dio watches the professor fall into hir feral instincts and looks at the case. Almost lost that one! "I'm afraid words will no longer work on our poor friend," shi shouts, starting to make hir way towards the now smashed case. Shi quickly gathers up the three seemingly usable books and the scraps before heading towards the door, stopping to look at the professor to chime in. "You're a person of education! You worked so hard to keep these books and we're going to save them and you! Listen to reason," shi shouts, holding up a book to hopefully jar hir senses. Even though shi claimed the professor wouldn't listen to words, perhaps it was at least worth a try. <br> <br>Down below Siyu connects with a few ferals with her knife, and McPirate a few with her chainsword. They break contact, moving back to corners and buildings to regroup. But there can't be much time. Siyu is bleeding, a bit badly, but already healing. McPirate seems just fine, if only slightly weiry from the extertion of pure will they had moments before. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Liana can't hold the professor for long, making another lundge at Buzamu who manages to get out of the way of the striking claw. Words, for a moment seem lost to hir, standing their, cock throbbing painfully in front of hir, pussy looking like a fauset. But, by some wonder of mind over matter, or just pure willpower, shi struggles to breath a moment, crouching down, grabbing hir head and shaking it almost violently. Eyes look back up to Dio and Liana, alternating between the more human ones seen when they first walked in and the feral slits shi's developed, a single word uttered by hir now still form, "Help..."<br> <br>Watching the situation, Buzamu growls. "GET HIR OUT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!" She growls, before making a short jog to the window and jumping out. Once cleared of the window frame, she snaps her wings open, giving her the ability to at least glide over the situation, and preferably help the professor get their head on straight.<br> <br>Siyu pants hard, "jesus christ, we gotta run, and run now!" he grunts hard and grabs his gear, bleeding everywhere, feeling dizzy. He's short, and of course, not a lot of blood, so he's feeling dizzy already as he grabs his stuff, blinking, trying to stay concious.<br> <br>"Siyu, on my back, now!" McPirate yells to the rodent beside him, taking a kneeling position to help him get on. "It's safer there than where you are now."<br> <br>Good, good. The heat smell has left for the time being. That should help out at least a little bit, especially now that the professor seems to be clinging on somewhat. "Wonderful! You're doing great, professor. We've got a whole bunch of books we've collected you can read up on. And a wonderful meal perhaps too! Keep your senses about you," shi encourages, pressing the professor along and trying to head out the building as fast as shi can. "Let's go! Time to get out of here."<br> <br>Once out of harm's way, Edel seats herself on the curb with a soft sigh, adjusting her hat. "Hope the rest are alright." Pushing up her glasses, she turns her eyes to the sky to wait for Glein, at least.<br> <br>Siyu grabs up at Mcpirate, trying to squeeze onto the back and makeing sure he's going to be secure before he passes out f ro mbloodloss.<br> <br>Liana winces as the lioness heads the wrong way...certainly towards a huge group of ferals coming up. She scrambles ahead and tugs her shoulder lightly. "Not that way! There's gonna be an army heading up those stairs. To the window. I can help at least one of you fall to the ground safely, if McLargehuge isn't still there." She helps guide the addled professor back the other way, whispering that shi's doing good and to stay in control, just a little more...<br> <br>McPirate stands up and heads to the window. "I'm down here!" He calls up. "Just jump, I'll catch you!" He yells, extending his hands to catch them.<br> <br>The ferals keep their distance for a bit longer, though how long they will stay back is anyone's guess. McPirate seeming ready, and everyone recollecting outside, either through the window or already there, all that is needed now is to get a good way out of the red zone. Along the way to said window though, being guided, the professor struggles a moment, "So... horny, fighting it so... long.." shi says struggling against those trying to help hir to rub at hir cock and pussy a moment. With a sharp gasp, and biting hir lip strong enough to draw blood, shi throws hir arms to the sides, potentally striking hir saviors as shi is lead out.<br> <br>Dio looks confused for a few moments and shi shifts back to Liana. "But that's where I w..." It didn't really matter, as it was time to finally leave this awful place! Shi helps guide the professor along, hoping the former educator can still keep hir wits about hir. "Let's go! Almost there," the herm lioness encourages, guiding hir into McPirate's hand and eventually hirself, trying not to get hit by flailing limbs in the process.<br> <br>Liana yelps softly as she's smacked by the professors flailing hand, shaking her head in irritation afterwards, before following along and into the hand...for once thankful to have a giant along.

He said, a small timer in his hud counting down from 10.<br> <br>With everyone who can't fly aboard McPirate, the rest flying themselves, it is an easy trip back into the copper site for the Bozeman area. The poor professor however did make more then one attempt at Buzamu, though with all around hir, it is easy to keep hir held back, a bit more focused, and, maybe even sated without the need of impregnation. Once home however, it is discovered that one of the books is indeed ruined as well, only two able to be used, a mission well done, a victory all the same.[[Category:RPLogs]] |

Log
The Bozeman area, home to many reptiles, once a home to knowledge and learning. It was a short trip to get here, however staying could prove troublesome. Approching the delapidated university, many such reptiles, mostly of old, run here or there. They don't seem keen on permitting others into their homes, and their homes do not look the most inviting to begin with. Falling chucks of the university are the number one hazard, followed by having the floor suddenly cave in under you. Caution was more then slightly warned by Nichole, Robert, and Penelope for those who are Prommie, Z, And RSX respectively.
Siyu walks with the group, the short rodent dressed in desert camo, and with his large bag. The survivalist rodent just keeps his poncho low and his ears flat, the Promethean just coming to help. Prehaps gain some knoledge. He scouts in the front really, looking back as he spies the old university. "We're here guys..." he nods his head, "Place looks about ready to fall down, do we have any information on where the lady is keeping the books?"
Buzamu idly wonders if she should have put on her utilities, if only atop the bodysuit, but as it was, she was glad she thought to bring her rifle and it's ammo, along with her knife and pistol. So other than not having her grenades and body armor were worrysome, the goal of this task wasn't blast their way in. It was just to talk to this professor and earn their trust to get ahold of these books. "Not a clue. Wasn't exactly given in the brief I got on route. Not sure about others."
Liana:stays a short distance ahead of the group, perhaps ten feet. She doesn't seem comfy with idle talk, but does excell at keeping watch and looking for trouble, and her regeneration lets her recover from nearly anything an initial ambush may cause. Her tail swishes softly in time with her steps as she walks, her arm-scythes extended as she keeps point. "It seems to be clear so far...just don't do something stupid like shoot a gun or yell and we should be fine."
McPirate takes up the rear of the group, towering over the rest of the party at over twenty feet tall. With massive, booming steps he lumbers forward. Spotting the university, he grows concerned that his very presence might cause the building to collapse. "Think that place can hold someone like me?" He asks in his deep, rumbling voice. "Looks like it'll fall over if Siyu sneezed, let alone if I walked in."
On the little trip over, Edel remained fairly silent, as per usual. Her focus mostly on making a fashionable straw hat, which is now upon her head. Slinking up behind the group she glances at the path ahead, and then at Pirate. "I dunno," she says abruptly. "I think I'll hang back, though, just in case. If the floor gives way I don't really want to follow."
Hearing the tale of possible sources of wonderful preserved knowledge, a herm lioness makes hir way for the library in hir typical professional garb. However, Dio was quite aware of the dangerous nature of the area, so extra caution was taken in the form of some good armor beneath hir clothes and a nanite buffer to at least help reduce the pain should some dangerous things topple upon hir. "I can't imagine that having someone more than fifteen feet tall would be great in a collapsing building," Dio replies, not far from stepping hir way inside. "Perhaps we can gather some information from the various people here. Or perhaps if this is truly a professor, they could simply be in their office."
The combined clammering of the agents around, and with McPirate being far heavier the then buildings are used to, a second of the east wing of the Departmant of Human Sciences can be heard falling over. The structures obviously won't take the weight of something so large. However, large or not, and with numbers on the agents side, it seems the verious Rapt-taurs and others are taking an interest in the forengin creatures in their territory.
Siyu remains standing on top of a rock as he looks out over the cumbling campus, "Well we could be very noisy and try to find her, but likely somthiing very bad will find us if we're not very quiet. Search teams prehaps? But only those light of foot. Otherwise yes we'll bring buildings down. Prehaps the library is a good place to start?" he hops down and searchs a bit..finding what he was looking for! A large campus map. Fadded but still legible, "here! Should we start there?" he inquires. He winces as he hears the building fall, "Well so much for being quiet..."
Buzamu grimances at the building collpasing. "Either size down, or let's keep moving. I dunno how, feral these folks are, and I'd very much like to not find out without making some progress to the target." She says, making sure the magazine in the well had a blue strip of tape on it. Her non-lethal rounds. Better than blowing them away at least for now.
"Blah blah blah, how bout this little man? How bout we don't split up into little groups, and stick together? Jeez man, when is splitting up with monsters all about ever a good idea?" McPirate protests, even though he knows he can't enter the university.
Edel wiggles her fingers at Dio in a little wave. "Hello again, mister lion. And yes, if you seek light footed scouts, I'm your lady! Discretion and sneakery are what I am best at, yes indeed. And I'd prefer to get away from any stomping around that people do."
Liana sighs as she looks over the others, wincing a little at the lack of stealth McPirate contributes. "The map is a good start, but it won't take account for collapsed buildings, rubble, and critter nests. And...Spliiting up sounds great. Loud people stay here, the quiet ones, go in farther..." She grins as she says this, joking...mostly.
Buzamu nods. "Besides, keeping giant out here keeps these critters from getting, too curious about us." She says, jerking a thumb at McPirate.
With a map in hand, and caution abound about care and light feet, there is still no real movement forward. Curiousity about these strange creatures seems to be growing in the locals, a Tricerataur carefully venturing a bit close, followed by a Stegosaurian. The others look to those two to find any reaction from the agents around.
"Hate you all." McPirate grumbles, taking a seat on a small building as he begins his guard duty. He grimaces as he hears roars out in the distance. He hated raptor.
Siyu at least knows the general location, "Do we think the library might be a good place? I don't know where she might b e keeping the books." the short rodent earflattens at Mcpirate and he'll just sink into his desert camoed poncho. Liting the hood up and going quiet.
Buzamu shakes her head. "Let's just get moving huh? Staying here is making us BFTs, and I don't like having this many bullseyes on my back." She says, moving to the front of the 'stack' as it were. "Which way oh map holder?" She states, rather though it was phrased as a question, her rifle at the ready to help them work their way through.
Liana turns and carefully watches the ferals as they get bolder, motioning towards them. "If they do anything aggressive, deal with them hard and fast, or the others will think we lack means to defend ourselves and swarm us." She takes a few steps forewards, waiting to see if the rest of the group besides Buzamu is ready to continue on, at least until they reach a more unstable area.
"A map?" Dio questions, giving a tap to the armor beneath hir clothing and straightening out hir suit-coat. "How lucky we are indeed. The library would be a good place to start, and failing that, perhaps we can find hir office." The lioness looks towards the curious creatures, but tries to pay them no mind in order to not stir up any uneeded agression.
With more then enough time to judge the agents abound it seems that a few of the ferals have decided it is worth a shot to see if they can take the agents for their own! The group quite surrounded by them, five pounce out at the would be scavangers!
"Shit! I count five!" Yells out McPirate, leaping to his feet and preparing his forearm guns.
Liana hisses and crouches as the ferals attack, immediately heading after the flyer, her own insectile wings helping her leap after it.
"Figures, CONTACT!" She barks out, raising her rifle and engaging the first one to approach the group, firing her rifle, glad for having loaded the rubber rounds before hand.
Siyu feels the presence of so many creatures coming towards him and he tosses off his poncho and drops his bag, preparing for combat going to the small of his back and pulling out a wicked serrated knife
Edel scowls a little, securing her hat as she concentrates her nanowizardry, picking up a lot of the rubble already in the area to send them at just about every individual she doesn't like.
The dinos continue their assult, it seems a few are working to protect the others, however, it is clear they are at a disadvantage. Still, ferals aren't the most wise creatures around, so with claws, horns, and teeth flying around the battlefield, they continue their assult.
Liana causes her arm-blades to ignite with one of her many mutations, then wades into the largest group to wildly lash about with the blazing scythes, taking a good number of hits in return for it.
Buzamu grumbles, noting how close the hostiles had managed to get, and rather than try for another burst, proceeded to slam the stock of her rifle against the nearest one's head, before lowering the rifle, and grabbing ahold of the magazine, and pulling the trigger on the Masterkey shotgun mounted to the bottom of her rifle.
Liana gives her party a quick glance to make sure none of them are heavily injured, before returning her focus to the fight, sending a surge of electricity through those unlucky enough to be near her.
With the support taken down, the remaining three renew their fighting, trying to trade blow for blow with the agents for their fallen comrades. More claws, more hate burning from the ferals, however, the display seems to be having an effect on those just watching though, as those not already in the fight back away.
McPirate opens fire on the nearest enemy, spraying the air with bullets. He watches as it runs off under the heavy fire. "Yeah, that's right! Piss off you little shits!" He yells, love for the fight in his voice.
Edel slips her 'bow' back and out of the way, instead reaching for one of her swords, her silent guardians never straying too far from her side, so as to be able to ward off attacks made upon their caller. She steps forward, swift movements carrying her out of the way of a blow, while even swifter movements return one of her own.
Dio begins cracking hir fists and rolls back hir shoulders for a good stretch while a few shards of sharp prisms pierce into a foe, stopping its advance and attack. After leaning far far back with hir right hand, almost as if shi were throwing a pitch, the lioness slams a powerful wild haymaker into the side of a raptor's head with a solid crack, putting it down for the count. It might take more than ten seconds for that raptor to come back up. Still quite in range, Dio attempts to grab a poor foe and choke some strength out of them for hir own use.
Siyu gets a couple of thick heavy stabs in, the serrated dagger just cuasing a few gouts of blood. The short rodent runs back as the last one falls and he's covered in some blood and splatter. He pants and shakes his head, giving a gulp and finding a tear of cloth to clean off his knife from the gore, "Shit...so much for friendlies."
With the more curious ones handled, most of the others back away, though continue to watch from shadows, or behind corners. A direct assult didn't seem to deture the adverturous agents, but maybe, another chance will show itself to those who are more cunning, stealthy, or patient.
Edel steps up to one of the downed ferals and... Just sort of wipes her blade clean on it before sliding it back into the scabbard, before adjusting her hat and pushing up her glasses. As an afterthought, and as a sign of good will, she deposits some little trinket by one of the defeated ferals and a small cup of long-cold tea. "Right then. No more waiting around. I'm going in." Not very far, though. She lingers on the other side of the entrance, waiting for the others.
Liana almost savagly attacks and chases off the ferals that have caught her attention, slashing at them repeatedly and hissing as she chases them a short ways, making sure to drive home the point to never attack travellers again. She re-folds her armblades and huffs softly once the area is reasonably secure, walking back to rejoin the group. "Hopefully that will keep the others at bay. If not, use more explosions, fire, and noise. But let's get a move on for now, hrm?" She turns and starts to head in with Edel...but can't help but lift a brow at the offerings. "Tea...? Really?"
McPirate grins madly as he takes his forearm guns back into his arm. "That all you lousy shits got?" He taunts to the retreating ferals. He turns toward the group and begins to shrink is size a little bit. "Yeah, I am not staying out here. I'll try to be careful inside, but it's gonna be dangerous." He says, worry replacing his previous bravado.
Buzamu grunts, once the ferals run off, loads another rubber slug into the tube of her Masterkey. Looking over the area around them, her gaze is focused on the Physical Sciences building. "Light source, faint, flickering. Intact building, halfway across to the west. Floor four, far side of it. Possibly our friend." She says, pointing out the specfic building. As she doesn't know the campus, nor has she seen the map, she doesn't know what it's called, but simply calls out what she can describe of it.
Siyu nods, "So where did you want to start looking? The Library is up north, behind registration...or, does anyone have a better idea where the books would be stored?"
After the adrenaline fueled by combat began to wear down, Dio shook hir fist to get off a bit of the pain from such a big punch. But hell, it sure was satisfying. "Quite. However, those were only the weak ones. It's possible they could send the more stronger ones at us next time around when we get into the building's heart," shi comments, once more straightening out hir clothing in a fashion conscious manner. "We should probably get this done as soon as possible before such happens. Heading to this interesting building might be a good start. Ferals wouldn't know much about keeping a light source going, but a more sane individual would."
While the discussion continues, the only indication that the group is still being watched is the sounds of clawed feet, or heavy hooves moving about, no easily seen sights, but, it would seem that everyone is still being observed.
Edel glances over her shoulder towards Pirate. "Do not taunt them, please." She gives a nod to Liana. "Tea, yes. I did not have much, but I'm hoping that when they awake, they'll realize maybe we're not the bad guys. And any onlookers will see that we are trying to be friendly. I have no clue if it'll help, but it's worth a shot."
McPirate starts to get worried hearing the sounds. "Lets just get inside now, before any more of them show up." He grumbles out.
Buzamu sighes and rolls eyes. "I'm checking the light out." She says, readying her rifle, and moving tactical fast across the campus, heading for hte building she'd found. It was a good thing her bodysuit didn't have any glows to it, but it would be hard for those without adapted night-vision or actual NODs to see her otherwise because of her scales. Sure, the suit was bright coloured, but that didn't mean much in darkness.
Dio gives a small check to hir gear and then sets off for the building, following after Buzamu in a rather quick pace. Shi keeps hir eyes out for anymore curious ferals that might fancy a good ambush, while also doing hir best not to fall prey to dangerous falling structures.
Liana starts to raise a hand to call out to the shadow dragon to not go alone..before sighing and shaking her head, realizing it would only hurt her chances to call out attention to her. She moves to the side of the entrance, crouching down and pulling a horribly over-sized rifle/cannon from her back, unfolding it and taking aim, ready to cover Buzamu if needed. Her aim was crap, but she only needed to hit the general area of her target, if any ferals attacked.
McPirate follows along behind the rest, his massive weight making every one of his steps boom. For once in his life, he was really starting to wish he was smaller. At least with his robotic nightvision he could see perfectly, but all that meant was that he could see the ferals scampering out in the distance.
Drawing closer to the building in question, those that choose to follow, see that the light is indeed maintined by someone as they move around the room they are in. A shadow can be seen cast in the window. Also, a lot less sounds of ferals at this way. However, with the sounds of McPirate moving around, whomever it is inside seems to start! Those with keen hearing can hear someone taking a large breath, then, the light goes out.
Those who remained behind would hear the ferals moving around, seems curiocity was peaking again with the group spread out now.
Liana does notice as the light if blown out, that giving away instantly that intelligence is behind it. Without a second thought she dashes along behind the shadow dragoness, trying to catch up to her before things get bad...
Edel takes Liana's and Glein's lead, darting off after them towards the light source, one hand pressed to her hat to keep it from blowing away.
Buzamu grumbles. "Alright, we had a pretty solid idea of the room position. It's gonna get tricky since we don't know the interior condition." She says, quietly, thought it's unlikely that it was needed with the tank basically causing miniature earthquakes every step. "While I'd normally say pair up and search, but we've got no idea how fucked the situation is inside. We got a good scout?" She asks, looking over those who'd caught up.
Liana raises her hand in response to Buzamu, nodding. "Being a point-woman scout is my speciality. And if the worst happens, I can regen fast enough to not be out for more than a few minutes, unless something like a rocket hits me. Which I really hope our contact here doesn't have access to. What did you have in mind?
Dio grimaces under hir breath when shi sees the light turn off, but at least that confirms someone was up there maintaining it. "I can assume that the interior condition is quite awful," shi comments, looking at the door. "Someone can scout if they desire, but try not to go too far. No matter how good they are at walking around, if they stray then we'll have to run through a destroyed building." The lioness takes the shotgun hanging off hir back and points it towards the ground while she puts a hand to hir ear, hearing something quite curious. "Someone is certainly shuffling around in there near that room with the light. They also seemed to close something case-like. Perhaps it was the container for the books?"
Siyu returns his poncho, keeping it on, and putting away his knife, the short rodent just stands next to Dio, he'll follow, slowly, staying back but not moving that fast himself.
Edel peers at Dio. "Or the case for a gun. It's hard to say without looking, but I am also a capable scout, if you wish me to do it." She looks up towards the window, frowning. "Hopefully they're not hostile towards us. What's our move?"
The decaying buildings can be heard by all to shift and crumble a bit more, including the Physical Sciences building. A chunk of rock falls from the outside, landing only a foot or two away from Edel. The window in question is then slid shut, and maybe locked.
Buzamu nods. "Whoever wants to scout, keep 4 paces ahead of us. Once your in, we're following. Let's get up as fast as we can without attracting more attention to ourselves." She says, not caring if Edel or Liana took lead as they both claimed to be good scouts, so long as they kept moving.
McPirate looks up at the window which is just barely above eye level to him. "You know, I could just lift you up to that window and break it right? Much faster and since they already know we're here, might as well do it." He suggest to the gathered party.
"Sure," Dio replies after hearing McPirate's suggestion. "At the very least, I'll take a peek through the window and attempt to open it up and report an valuable information I can gather while I'm up there." The lioness moves closer to McPirate and then nods, showing shi's ready to be picked up.
Liana looks up to McPirate and tilts her head..then shrugs lightly. "Breaking it may be extreme but I don't see how a polite knock on the window could hurt. Would show we have better than average resources to draw on, as well. Anyone here a good diplomat?"
Siyu looks around, "I'll keep watch..." siyu will turn and look out in the darkness, trying to keep an eye out for Feral attack.
Edel gestures to Dio. "Dio is one of the best diplomats I know. If we want a talking approach, he... She? He's our man. Though if you want to be cruel, I can return the rock to sender, but I'd rather not do that yet."
McPirate lowers his colossal hand to the ground to gather up volunteers for the window plan. Two could easily fit on it, three if they scrunched together.
Buzamu chuckles and points to Dio. "Hir." She states in response to Liana's statement. "So, Edel, Ma'am, who's taking point, or should I?"
Dio looks at the hand and then back at the group before proceeding. "Negotiation is my prided skill. Hopefully we can get through this without needed to use any force, and I'll do whatever I can to take those books in a legitimate matter." With one last nod, shi steps aboard McPirate's hand. "And you may call me ma'am, shi, sir, her, or whatever you choose. I'm not picky."
Liana clambers atop the palm, a bit to the back so Dio is the first face seen by whoever is at the room. "I'll be ready to back you up...or heal you, if needed, Dio. let's see this talking skill of yours, eh?"
The haze clearning, there is a full moon out, shining down on all, and eyes, dozens of eyes can be seen from where the agents came from. They are getting closer. And they don't look to happy. With the better illumination, those out in the open make for easier targets.
Seeing the ferals getting closer through his nightvision, McPirate raises his hand to the window, simultaneously extending his forearm cannons in preperation for the battle. "You better make it quick in there." He says to his two passengers.
Siyu gulps a little bit, "Hey guys...guys...they're getting closer. Uh...uh does anyone have an HMG?" he asks as he'll pull out his knife again, warning the others near him.
Buzamu looks back and growls. "Okay folks, in we go! We're on the clock now!" She states, flicking on her rifle's attached flash light and opening the door. "Dio! Work fast! We're moving in from the lower floors!" She barks, swinging around the doorframe and into the building to find her way up four floors through whatever chaos had occured inside the building.
Dio wobbles a bit as shi gets lifted up, but soon finds hirself face to face with the window. The lioness cracks hir knuckles and grabs the window's bottom and begins pulling upwards with all hir strength. With a grunt and some leonine power, the lock cracks and breaks, allowing Dio to open up the window and then clamber on inside.
Edel glances at the ferals and wordlessly starts to slink back, hoping to hide from anything that might wish her harm.
Liana dives in after the lioness, leaving McPirate free to use both hands. As soon as she lands both arm blades half-extend, ready, but not acticly threatening as she looks around the room for signs of movement.
McPirate immediatly assumes a fighting stance, all guns aimed on the horizon. Growing bigger in size to increase his firepower, he prepares to hold the line.
Those entering from the bottom of the building would be greeted by rubble, lots of it, but some of it seems to be a bit more stratigically placed then chance would have. Blocking both the elevators, as if they would still be working, as well as the stairs. It is completely dark inside except for the moonlight coming in from the windows.
Those coming into the window see a similar situation nothing much to give light, bare outlines of a table, a bed, a desk, a large case, and a door. However, one sound is clear, the cocking of a shot gun, as well as some words directly behind where Liana is hiding, "Don't move!"
Below in the walkways of the campus, the eyes get closer, though still not attacking thoughs who choose to stay behind.
Siyu sucks a breath, "Does anyone have flares...or a flahs bang, I think they might be scared off by somthing bright or loud...somthing to break them out of us"
Liana freezes still at the voice, her arm-blades folding back down flat against her arms, harmless this way. Slowly she raises them, hands upwards to show she's holding nothing. "We're here to talk. Us being armed as we are is a precaution to the copious amount of dangerous inhabitants of the area to get to here. We mean no harm." She doesn't look back yet, not wantint to spook whoever is behind her more than needed.
It looks like Dio found a lovely place to hide for the most part, but shi wasn't going to simply let someone get hold up by gunpoint and leave the area. After all, she was hir co-worker. The lioness slowly raises hir hands into the air and comes out of hir hiding spot, showing no signs of hostility. "Indeed. As I'm sure you're aware, there are quite a dangerous bunch of ferals out there. We've received word that someone might have some preserved literature and we've simply come to talk about it. Would you perhaps know anything about a professor and such books? Perhaps we can even help you."
Buzamu works her way up and over the rubble, though it was close a few times, nearly slipping a few times, but she's soon over the rubble. Making sure her weapons were ready, it actually almost made her glad to not have come in armor or utilities. They wouldn't have worked through as well, even if not having them reduced her overall combat effectiveness or her ability to blend. As it was, she proceeded to climb the floors, finding the way mostly clear. Which further reinforced that the rubble had been planted more than happenstance.
The voice inside gives a growl, but stops as whomever it is hears words, "You are some band of raiders or ferals here to fuck with me?" the very addroginous voice says. The next sound heard is of the clanging of something metel hitting something stone, "Don't move still!" The voice says, shuffling around then, a flicker as the light comes back on, indeed a lamp. Standing there is a Philosiraptor herm, nude, and judging by hir drooling pussy, half erect and dripping cock, and blood shot eyes, shi'd been resisting a lot of baser urges for quite a while. Shi blinks a few times in the light, "Who are you, and what do you want?" Shi asks.
Climbing up was easy, till Buzamu got to the floor just below her objective. Once there, the floor starts to give way, crumbling below her. With quick foot work, and fast reflexes however, she manages to dance along the floor and keep her footing to the next stair well. Path once more clear.
Down below and outside, the hungry eyes get every closer to the massive bullseye that is the tank called McPirate, one can almost hear the bellies rumbling, claws scrapping, almost feel the heat from their breath.
Buzamu grunts, jumping forward and hopping her way across teh crumbling floor, her wings giving an extra 'puff' of air as needed to help her get across. Once on stable ground, she let's out a breath she found herself to be holding. Shaking her head to refocus, she make sure her rifle was ready and continued up, her eyes glancing and searching. It was always more difficult to find a place from inside when you saw it from teh outside. Still, she prayed she had a good enough recollection to find her way. Reaching the point she was pretty sure the room was in, she slammed against the wall next to the door, and started straining her hearing to see if she could hear her team inside.
Liana turns around slowly as the light flicks on, hands still held. She blinks her emerald eyes several times in surprise at the sight of the owner of the voice, her cheeks flushing at the sight of the raptor. She embaressedly clears her throat before speaking, though it's clear she's a little distracted. "Um...W-would raiders have knocked? And if we were ferals, we wouldn't be equipped with weapons and speaking clearly...We came through dangerous territory to talk and bargain. er...i-if that's alright with you?" She looks back to Dio with a "Help me!" expression, a bit off guard and unsure of what to do or say.
As requested, Dio doesn't move from hir spot and keeps hir hands high in the air while shi looks upon the distressed raptor. This must be the person they were searching for. "We came here after hearing a rumor some professor had some preserved books in their possession. We're part of the K&S Organization, and our latest project is to scan books to preserve and allow everyone to read them. A wonderful goal, don't you think? I see that you're also in distress. We can get you some food, shelter, help, and safety should you come with us. Have you heard of RSX, Zephyr, or the Prometheans? The Prometheans especially, as they excel in helping people with their urges."
Siyu looks up at Mcpirate since she's the only one around him on the outside, "Please tell me do you ahve a flashbang or a grenade, just somthing, I can try and scare them off I just need somthign to distract them"
"Siyu, I have a giant ass cannon, and that's it. I have no idea what's going to happen when I fire it, and I'm really hoping I don't need to." NcPirate replies to the terrified rodent next to him.
The lizard friendly growls a moment and clenches hir claws, a throb through hir cock speaking volumes, "You say you have someplace other then here? Is it crumbling apart like this place is?" shi finally asks, breath messured carefully. Sleep deprived eyes full of lust trying to fight back both as shi looks to Dio and Liana. "If you have... enough people to carry my... belongings, then lets leave here, if that is true, but.. I want some proof. The only reason I've stayed is I didn't think anyone or anything else survived.. in .. tact.." shi gives a grunt, falling to a knee, sniffing at the air frantically. The smell of someone in heat near, hir cock rising to full mast. Looking up, hir eyes narrow to slits, tongue coming out to lick hir lips. Hir door is unlocked, and Buzamu can easily hear what is going on.
Down below the ferals finally decide to make a move, jumping out toward McPirate, a few managing to get around to her sides for their assult!
McPirate yells out as he leaps to the side and turns, ground shaking as he lands. Spreading his legs and assuming a fight stance, he takes aim and fires off the massive shoulder cannon. The noise from the shot rocks through the entire campus and the surrounding area, the flames from the shot alone lighting up the entire place for a short second. Dust flies up all around him and the recoil nearly knocks him off his feet. Regaining his balance, he starts to open fire with his machine guns into the horde.
Buzamu takes a deep breath, and makes sure the rifle is ready. "Friendly coming in!" She barks, openign the door and swinging around the door frame. "I heard. We can get you and your things out of here, but we need to move now. Let's grab what we can now. I doubt the window's an option right now." She states, slinging the rifle and pointedly ignoring the state the person's state, knowing they were running out of time. The roar from the main cannon of a M1A1 was a sound she almost forgot about, but it was such a beautiful sound to hear for her. Then the roof started falling apart. Which meant keeping the rubble from crushing them or their target.
"Look at my clothing," Dio claims, gesturing towards hir professional business skirt and appropriate suit-coat. "We have clothing that does not decay, our bellies are full, and we have the time to investigate various areas rather than raid them like dangerous fellows. And we even have communicators such as this. Please watch." The lioness lowers one of hir arms and digs out hir communicator, displaying hir contacts, freecred, and faction affiliation. "We have an economy, factions, society! Surely this is all proo-" Hearing the shots ring out, the lioness worries about the repercussions considering the building. Rubble tries to fall upon hir body, but with a strong application of force, shi's able to push it aside with heafty grunts.
"Yes, we need to leave immediately! Anywhere is safer than here. Grab the case, professor and lets find somewhere safe!"
Siyu dives out of the way as the cannon goes off and he will cover his ears, "Fuck fuck fuck...." he just curses at the huge noise and trying to stay out of the way
Liana yelps as the roof starts falling in, snapping out of her awkwardness. She quickly moves over to Buzamu, poiting for her to lead the way. 'Shi's horny, you're in heat, shi's gonna be following you if we can't snap hir out of it. Be ready to run for it so we don't get squished as mister BigMcLargehuge wages war outside."
Edel cringes when the shots go out, scurrying along the outskirts, sticking to the walls as she seeks to put some distance between herself and the conflict, ducking behind cover when she feels she's far enough away.
The good professor doesn't seem to be home anymore, the smell of a female in need of having her womb stuffed, weither her body was effect her mind or not was all the base needs inside hir needed to tip the scale. As the building rumbles and the floor above starts to become the floor below, shi rolls out of the way, nearly smashing the case in question. Shi makes an awkward lunge for Buzamu, but the building's unsteady nature keeps hir from making contact. Shi lets out a roar of frustration as shi steadies hirself for another attempt.
On the outside, quite a few ferals are caught in the blast, taking cuts and wounds abound, however, continuing their assult through. Spooting another target, Siyu, a few break off to go for her instead! The attacks on McPirates hide seem less then effective, but upon Siyu much more so, claws and teeth ripping into her for minor injuries all through out. Edel on the other hand continues to be unfound.
Siyu oh shit! He grunts and grabs at his knife, the serrated knuckl duster flashes out, ripping hard itno flesh as he's surrounded, "Fuck you! Nnngh! Get away!" he shouts and slashes with his knife, stabbing and trying to get them to back off.
Buzamu grumbles. "GET HIR OUT NOW! WE'LL RECOVER THE REST OURSELVES!" She barks, realizing what was wrong. At this point, they needed the professor AND the books they'd managed to save out of here. At this point, no time for subtlty. She saw the case was locked, but didn't bother with trying to unlock it, she just unslung her rifle, and smashed the glass with the buttplate of its stock. "Grab the books and let's get out of here!" She states, stepping away from teh case now.
Liana curses as the shadow dragon ignores her and stays in the room. She leaps between her and the raptor, trying to grip the professors shoulders, trying her best to shift hir attention away, or at least slow hir. "Calm yourself! You are human, you have control! Don't you give into the instincts yeet, not when you're so close to getting out of this hellhole!"
Edel glances over her shoulder and continues on creeping, hoping to get back to the street where she can await the others. The further away she is from all this mess, the better, as far as she's concerned.
Dio watches the professor fall into hir feral instincts and looks at the case. Almost lost that one! "I'm afraid words will no longer work on our poor friend," shi shouts, starting to make hir way towards the now smashed case. Shi quickly gathers up the three seemingly usable books and the scraps before heading towards the door, stopping to look at the professor to chime in. "You're a person of education! You worked so hard to keep these books and we're going to save them and you! Listen to reason," shi shouts, holding up a book to hopefully jar hir senses. Even though shi claimed the professor wouldn't listen to words, perhaps it was at least worth a try.
Down below Siyu connects with a few ferals with her knife, and McPirate a few with her chainsword. They break contact, moving back to corners and buildings to regroup. But there can't be much time. Siyu is bleeding, a bit badly, but already healing. McPirate seems just fine, if only slightly weiry from the extertion of pure will they had moments before.
Liana can't hold the professor for long, making another lundge at Buzamu who manages to get out of the way of the striking claw. Words, for a moment seem lost to hir, standing their, cock throbbing painfully in front of hir, pussy looking like a fauset. But, by some wonder of mind over matter, or just pure willpower, shi struggles to breath a moment, crouching down, grabbing hir head and shaking it almost violently. Eyes look back up to Dio and Liana, alternating between the more human ones seen when they first walked in and the feral slits shi's developed, a single word uttered by hir now still form, "Help..."
Watching the situation, Buzamu growls. "GET HIR OUT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!" She growls, before making a short jog to the window and jumping out. Once cleared of the window frame, she snaps her wings open, giving her the ability to at least glide over the situation, and preferably help the professor get their head on straight.
Siyu pants hard, "jesus christ, we gotta run, and run now!" he grunts hard and grabs his gear, bleeding everywhere, feeling dizzy. He's short, and of course, not a lot of blood, so he's feeling dizzy already as he grabs his stuff, blinking, trying to stay concious.
"Siyu, on my back, now!" McPirate yells to the rodent beside him, taking a kneeling position to help him get on. "It's safer there than where you are now."
Good, good. The heat smell has left for the time being. That should help out at least a little bit, especially now that the professor seems to be clinging on somewhat. "Wonderful! You're doing great, professor. We've got a whole bunch of books we've collected you can read up on. And a wonderful meal perhaps too! Keep your senses about you," shi encourages, pressing the professor along and trying to head out the building as fast as shi can. "Let's go! Time to get out of here."
Once out of harm's way, Edel seats herself on the curb with a soft sigh, adjusting her hat. "Hope the rest are alright." Pushing up her glasses, she turns her eyes to the sky to wait for Glein, at least.
Siyu grabs up at Mcpirate, trying to squeeze onto the back and makeing sure he's going to be secure before he passes out f ro mbloodloss.
Liana winces as the lioness heads the wrong way...certainly towards a huge group of ferals coming up. She scrambles ahead and tugs her shoulder lightly. "Not that way! There's gonna be an army heading up those stairs. To the window. I can help at least one of you fall to the ground safely, if McLargehuge isn't still there." She helps guide the addled professor back the other way, whispering that shi's doing good and to stay in control, just a little more...
McPirate stands up and heads to the window. "I'm down here!" He calls up. "Just jump, I'll catch you!" He yells, extending his hands to catch them.
The ferals keep their distance for a bit longer, though how long they will stay back is anyone's guess. McPirate seeming ready, and everyone recollecting outside, either through the window or already there, all that is needed now is to get a good way out of the red zone. Along the way to said window though, being guided, the professor struggles a moment, "So... horny, fighting it so... long.." shi says struggling against those trying to help hir to rub at hir cock and pussy a moment. With a sharp gasp, and biting hir lip strong enough to draw blood, shi throws hir arms to the sides, potentally striking hir saviors as shi is lead out.
Dio looks confused for a few moments and shi shifts back to Liana. "But that's where I w..." It didn't really matter, as it was time to finally leave this awful place! Shi helps guide the professor along, hoping the former educator can still keep hir wits about hir. "Let's go! Almost there," the herm lioness encourages, guiding hir into McPirate's hand and eventually hirself, trying not to get hit by flailing limbs in the process.
Liana yelps softly as she's smacked by the professors flailing hand, shaking her head in irritation afterwards, before following along and into the hand...for once thankful to have a giant along. She gives one last look around the room, making sure they didn't miss anything potentially important...
"Alright, now get on my back and hold on tigh, this is going to get bumpy.
"Alright, now get on my back and hold on tight, this is going to get bumpy." He said, a small timer in his hud counting down from 10.
With everyone who can't fly aboard McPirate, the rest flying themselves, it is an easy trip back into the copper site for the Bozeman area. The poor professor however did make more then one attempt at Buzamu, though with all around hir, it is easy to keep hir held back, a bit more focused, and, maybe even sated without the need of impregnation. Once home however, it is discovered that one of the books is indeed ruined as well, only two able to be used, a mission well done, a victory all the same.
