I appreciate the skills and discpline the martial arts install. I myself studied years ago. Nowadays though, I prefer an orbital bombardment followed up by Cyclone insertion team.

By the way Col Anderson, I've done some digging around at HQ about that LRRP we discussed before. Looks like I dug too deep. I've got orders to report to the Atlas to head up a mission into that sector. I should be back in a month.

OCC Papers got me bogged down this month and have to get ready for finals. I'll get back around the middle of Dec.

OOC: Good luck with your finals Admiral!


:::Colonel Anderson takes another sip of his coffee.::: "Good luck Admiral! Watch your six!

Leo: "Then afterwards we'll take you bar-crawling and I'll see how many donuts you can accurately toss on a drunken Perytonian's horns!"

Aries:(sighing)"I'll see what we have in our bail account..."

Skor: "I'll get the infiltration and extraction gear ready..."

"I've noticed that one and the Scorpian King being popular with them too."
:::He takes a long sip of his coffee.:::

(Honking of horns, loud screeching of brakes....)

Aries gets up and looks concernedly out the window...

Aries: "Never mind...Khytahn's okay...it's just misunderstandings and not collision physics out there."

(Sounds of somebody loudly deriding somebody else's intelligence, ancestry, and personal hygiene habits in at least five different languages while there's the occasional "WHAT?! I DON"T WANT ANY McFISH_NUGGETS!!!PISA'S ON EARTH!!!")

OOC::::ROFLMAO!!! That last line almost made me fall out of my seat here at work!


:::Colonel Anderson almost chokes after hearing the last line of the previous post.:::

Leo cracks his knuckles in case he has to perform the Heimlich Manuever.

:::Colonel Anderson continues laughing for several minutes and finally stops and takes a very deep breadth. Then he prepares to take another sip of his coffee."

Seren listens very quietly to the others chattering, cocking her head just slightly as she does. She just shakes her head at the music, laughing slightly at Khytahn's response to it. "I'd never do it while they're asleep. That's for assassins. I've been in mechanized SWAT too long for that. I only go after active perpetrators. And usually it means I have someone to drag in for questioning and a little time in a jail cell, at the end." She cringes as Khyt starts shouting again like that.

She nods to Tolval, considering it. "Skills and discipline are always good, definitely. Plenty of skilled people without enough discipline, causing problems."

She glances over to the clones and rolls her eyes at the bar hopping comments. Then she blinks at the horn honking as Khytahn leaves, shaking her head and sighing. "Hope he gets to the med center before he gets somebody killed."

She smiles to Camilla, catching a waiter and ordering a couple of 32oz coffees, drinking one, and holding one in advance on a warmer for when Cammy finishes one. "Life is weird. Ever get the feeling we're caught in the nut house?"

...as if in cosmic response to that last question, a truck tire goes rolling down the street past the window...somebody is in it...

:::Colonel Anderson shakes his head and takes a sip oif his coffee.::: "Kids is right."

Aries: "How far is the Med Center from here, anyway?"
Leo:"And how many traffic intersections between here and there?"
Skor: "Might be worth tagging behind."

"call if you see anything particularly enjoyable! And take lots of pics!" :::Colonel Anderson then takes another sip of his coffee.:::

Aries: "I don't think he can hear you...out of earshot and he's deaf..."

"I was talking to you three." :::He takes another sip of coffee and looks over to the waitress.::: "Can I please get a cinnamon roll with a fresh cup of coffee, please!"

Seren looks outside idly at the one rolling past in the tire, shaking her head and rolling her eyes. She glances over to the clones. "considering a small betting pool on how far he gets before getting run over?"

(Multiple thundering clomp of mecha from outside)

Skor: "Run over, stomped, or kicked?"

"And if he looses control he could end up in that park with the Praxians!" :::Said with a mischievous smile.:::

Aries: "Only on a drop kick...the park's the other side of town, opposite direction..."

"Does he know his way around, because he is heading the wrong direction for the hospital." :::Pointing at the front window as the emergency vehicle speeds down the street in the wrong direction for the hospital. Colonel Anderson takes a bite of his roll and then a sip of coffee.:::

Leo: "Okkkkaaayyyyy...judging by street grade and direction, initial speed, and control factor....good chance he'll hit the 7:15 monorail and from there either get to the hospital by medevac or get bounced into the municipal waterworks..."

"I'll bet five credits that he ends up in the muncipals waterworks." :::Stands up and takes his roll and coffee over to the window to watch.:::

Leo:"Covered"
Skor: "Nah, he's heading for the next county on the Cowcatcher Express...Six on the adhesive collision."

"He missed the adhesive collision! And now it looks like he heading towards the park!"

Aramanthus wrote:"He missed the adhesive collision! And now it looks like he heading towards the park!"

Aries: "Wait! Today's Thursday...That means..."
Leo/Skor: "Municipal Garbage Pickup and Leave Vacuuming!!"

"I see he's still moving in a relatively straight line. No sign of a garbage truck as of yet. It should be turning down there any minute now according to the schedule posted over on the wall." :::Pointing over to a sheet of paper on the wall behind the counter. He takes a bite of his roll and then takes a sip of coffee.:::

Leo: (holding binoculars)"No garbage truck...But there's a babycarriage in hs way! Factor that in(nods to his brothers who have a white board pulled put from somewhere and are covering it in various equations)...Anybody got the wind speed and direction data?"

:::Colonel Anderson takes a sip of his coffee in anticipation. And breaths a sigh of relief.::: "Good he missed the baby carriage."

:::Colonel Anderson takes another sip of coffee and watches.:::

Leo:(with macrobinocs)"Lost him behind the rose hedge...no, wait! He didn't miss the kids' slide...That's a nice takeoff ramp!"

Seren just... stares at the spectacle, sighing softly and downing her coffee in a gulp. "I'm starting to think that someone needs to go out and make sure he doesn't kill himself. I've got my Cyclone outside, so I'm guessing I might just be volunteered." She checks to make sure her CVR is attached properly, and sighs, slipping for the door. "I'll be back..."

With that, she steps out, and hops onto the Cyclone, revving the engine and heading in the direction Khytahn went.

:::Colonel Anderson along with the others watches the spectacle continue. He takes a sip as the vehicle they are watching takes out the large deck on the back of a house.::: "You know I think Seren is right. Does anyone have a vehicle I could borrow. I walked here."

Aries: "Hoverjeep, but if you wanna borrow it, better let us drive.."
Skor: "The anti-theft system's a bit finicky."

"Sure! Let's go lend a hand men!" :::Colonel Anderson departs while taking another sip of coffee.::: "We'll be right back! Can you freshen my coffee before we go rescue that poor deaf guy!" :::The waitress smiles and refills his coffee.:::

The four(plus anybody else joining them) of them go running out. Down one end of the road, there's an obvious accident scene---jackknifed truck with its front wheels missing and nosed into a light pole...downm the other side, parked vehicles. Parked a half-block away is what looks like the illegitimate offspring of a VW Thing and a Southern Cross hoverjeep...There's somebody already there, picking at the door...

Leo throws out his arms motioning everybody to stop..

[/b][*BEEP*BEEP*BEEP*][/b]

FWWWOOOOSSHHHHH

"YAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"


Leo: (looking at the trail of smoke heading for the nearest water fountain)"Always somebody dumb enough to try that..."
Aries takes out a small remote.

*Beed-a-beep**Be-Woop!*

Aries: "Okay, it's safe, com'on, let's go!"

Seren glances into her rear view, at all the clown- er, Tirolians and their friends, and the incident with the jeep. She shakes her head at the 'security' system, and looks around. She heads for the slide, but rather than blindly following up and back down, she flips the mode switch on the bike, trying to get a little altitude after, to see where he went. She mutters to herself, as she looks for his escape route. "Can't be too hard to find a guy rolling along in a tire..."

:::Colonel Anderson takes a sip of his coffee as he gets into the jeep of the Tirolian triplets.::: "Any day guys!." :::Watches Colonel Fury come out of the cafe. Waiting for the reaction of Colonel Fury to the mud on the street side of his cyclone.::: "Fury! You might want to look at this side of your little darling!"

Aries: "Nah, missed the Cyc...got the pigeons, though...."
Leo: "I call shotgun!"
Skor:(to Anderson)"If something you sit on in there goes click, don't touch it...Heck, even if it doesn't go click, don't touch it."

:::Colonel Anderson climbs into the jeep without spilling a drop of his coffee. He then takes a sip.::: "You mean that claymore mine on the back of your seat?" :::He takes another sip.:::

Aries: "Skor...I thought I told you to leave that thing at home!!!"
Skor: "You're the one who wanted to make sure we found a parking place!"
Leo: "Good thing we found one...Area Denial Munitions are handy for holding parking slots, but not always appreciated.."

:::Colonel Anderson takes another sip of coffee.::: "Drive on Jeeves!"

The hoverjeep obliging takes off, ala 'Bladerunner', and starts off down the street, making sure not to tag anybody on the way out.

:::Colonel Anderson sips his coffee as they travel down the street.:::

Seren keeps flying low, to avoid airspace issues. She keeps trying to follow the trail of the tire, glancing backwards at the hoverjeep cruising the roads and rolling her eyes just a little bit. She adjusts her radio some, to see if she can't tune in and talk to anyone else along the way. "Getting along all right back there?" She laughs just a little, and turns back forward, peering for sight of her quarry.

ooc: what kind of modifications, Fury? I keep imagining that Seren would have a pair of GR-112s from Defic's site, on a VR-052. But that's just me.

:::Colonel Anderson takes a sip and listens to Seren.::: "Hi Seren. We're on our way. We just had to watch out for a rather nasty claymore mine in the back seat. We'll be caught up with you in about 30 seconds."

:::Colonel Anderson takes a sip of coffee and watches as Colonel Fury rapidly catches up. Raises mug of coffee to Fury as he catches up.:::

Seren nods a little at the messages, keeping to the air, and trying to zoom in on the destroyed areas to see if she can find the errant wheel still. She shakes her head just a little at the level of mess. "Hate to think of the cleanup when this is all over..." She tries to fly ahead a little more.

OOC: This particular model is based on the VR-141 from Dave Deitrich's site with one of those GR-200s on the right arm and a CADS-2 on the left arm which is used mostly as a shield. It also has souped up reactor/engine making it 50% faster in flight and Cycle modes than stock when using flower power and also has twice the fuel capacity of protoculture at the expense of one of the "saddle bags". Speed is the norm when running or using the IC engine.

OOC: Neat. Seren should get a 152 sometime in the future, but as a reservist, she'd be probably one of the last ones to get it. I figure on her using a hand weapon more from that site, though. Something closer to home, in the Invid energy rifle, rather than the Gallant, at least when she's on police duty. Simply for having a stun setting without having to switch weapons

:::Colonel Anderson smiles and takes a sip of his coffee as they travel towards the disaster coming together ahead of them.:::

Leo: "I see him! Uh-oh, there's an open-air market at the end of the park! You know what that means?"
Aries & Skor: "FRUITSTANDS!"

(Because we haven't seen hardly any collateral damage yet, and you can't have a chase without at least one street vendor cart being destroyed....it's a rule of the Dramatic Universe)

:::Colonel Anderson watches as the vendors rapidly approach. He then takes a sip of his coffee. He reaches his into his jacket pocket and pulls out a flask. He carefully unscrews the lid and pours some of the contents into his coffee. He then reseals the flask. He then takes another sip of coffee and braces for impact.:::
