"Safety glasses? WE don't need no stinkin' saf-OW!"

:::Colonel Anderson smiles as his satefy glasses prevents the dirt and debris from getting into his eyes. He pulls three more pairs from a pouch at his side.::: "Here you three go. Good thing I carry spares." :::He then takes a sip of his coffee.:::

Aries: "ROSE-tinted?!"

"Um....No! Not that I know of." :::Peering into his safety glasses with a thoughtful look. Then he takes a sip of coffee.:::

Skor: "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."

"I'm not sure! But I'd love to find out! Lucky dog Fury!" :::He then takes a long sip from his coffee cup while watching the two women disappear into the distance.:::

Aries: "ER, guys....I don't think our problems are over...yet..."

"What do you mean?" :::Looking in the direction that Aries is looking.::: "Oh my god!" :::He takes a sip of his coffee!:::

Seren peers back down from the Cyclone, sighing and trying to go after the Ferris at this point. She just shakes her head and sighs, listening to the comments over the radio. "Come on... move faster!" She jabs at the Cyclone throttle, swearing very softly at it.

"I had nothing to do with this! I swear! Nothing! :::Taking a deep and long sip of coffee.::: "We're just trying to help save people from injuries."

Skor: "I TOLD you people keep blaming us..."
Aries: "Honestly...we were TRYING to contain the situation, but it's snowballed...as for the physics part of it? Clearly this is a case of the Creator playing with loaded dice..."
Leo: "Aries. save the zen for later...Officer, what happened begins with a screech of tires and a deaf guy crossing a street...no, a rabbi isn't involved in this at all..."

"And then the deaf guy took an emergency vehicle. He was heading to the closest hospital." :::He takes another sip of his coffee. And whispers so only the clones can hear him.::: You see how I get blamed for even minor things."

"Hey guys!" :::talking to the clones.::: "Get me over the vehicle and I'll make a jump to it." :::He takes a sip of his coffee.:::

Aries: "Well...we built thing from surplus Bioroid Hovercraft parts....yeah, we got two eighty-foot grappling hook launchers, and a three ton lift capacity..."

Leo: (to the Colonel)"ARE YOU -INSANE-?! That thing's rotating fast enough you'll be swatted before you can make a safe landing!"

Seren peers down at Fury, sighing as she tries to catch the Ferris Wheel and pull it backwards on thrusters, or at least try to keep it from going forwards. Too bad it makes her feel really small in the Cyclone armor. "Yes, I intended that all along, actually..." Too bad she's more getting rolled along with it than stopping it.

Skor:"Rather interesting that the thing hasn't simply collapsed and folded up by itself...sound Zentraedi construction, must be..."

Aries: "Actually I think you're confusing our tire-bound Zent friend with the giant guy who's back there with his head in a porta-potty...Unless you got a tanker of mouthwash, some plastic tents we can use for barfbags, and a coupla hosetrucks of disinfectant for him to scrub up with, that's not our problem. "

"Get us closer to the emergency vehicle after we stop the ferris wheel. I wasn't planning on jumping on the ferris wheel." :::The ferris wheel hits a small unnoticed hill and it reverses direction at a slightly slower travel rate. Colonel Anderson takes another sip of coffee while watching the events continue to unfold.:::

Seren sighs a little at the comment, nodding quickly then. She moves around to the side from simply hanging on for dear life, and tries to angle the course of the big ferris, pushing her thrusters past maximum to do so, always looking for something bigger to hook it to. "It has to stop somehow at some point..." She sighs and shakes her head. "Starting to wonder if I should have taken time to run and get my Alpha. Mighta been easier to stop it then..."

Aries: "If that was the case, we coulda just remote-summoned our Bioroids from our ship!"

"It looks like the ferris wheel has slowed down after it reversed direction." :::Takes a sip of coffee.:::

Leo: "Er...why did the guy in the tire go? YOu know...the deaf guy? THe one who started all this? I don't see him anywhere. "

Aries: "He didn't slip out between the ferris wheel cars, did he?"

"No, there goes that wheel. It just hit that big hill. There it goes down the hill and it looks like it picking up speed." ::: He drinks a sip of coffee.:::

Seren grumbles very slightly, and breaks off for the base. "Was trying to respond quickly and had the Cyclone available, is why. But this has gone on far too long, anyway." She steps on it as much as she can for the base, dropping back to motorcycle mode to push her speed higher. "I'll be right back."

ooc: Would do more, but threadwide Invid rulings are different form individual group ones, I'm guessing..

Aries: "Well, we're committed here to stopping this big wheel....maybe we oughta summon up the Bioroids and split our forces to go after him...no telling what OTHER trouble the guy's gonna get into by his lonesome..."

Skor: "I don't think the authorities are going to approve of three pilotless bioroids flying over an emerging disaster zone no matter WHAT errand of mercy they're on."

OOC: I have no problem with Invid as long as it isn't me their guns are pointed at.

OOC: I mean in terms of abilities and whatnot. Too much reading into Dark Finale/Symphony of Light, aside from Shadow Chronicles, and thinking of house rule type things not in the books One of those things I'm hoping for the new RPG to sort out

OCC: Of course, now that we have teleporting Invid....Though Ariel's role as an Invid "Princess" may relegate that to select individuals or a very exclusive Invid Royalty OCC(would Sera have those powers? Did Corg? Or was Ariel a mutant within the Invid community? An elite spy who lost her memory, but who always had these capabilities, or a disposable simulagent who acquired an unexpected propensity for elite-level Invid abilities and was retroactively 'promoted' by the Regis in order to salvage the situation?).
Back to Light-Heartedness...

OOC: Sera did, if you rewatch Symphony of Light, she popped into the hive core the same exact way. In a little yellow flash. And in TSC, they /all/ turned to energy in one way or another, to depart. Which I'd guess was partially the Regis for lower forms, though. Which was basically my point. Anyhow, yeah, back to light

Seren keeps gunning her Cyclone as much as it'll go, till she gets back to her Alpha. She tunes her radio in quickly. "Going hot now..." She lifts off, radioing for air traffic control, to let them know what's going on, then.

"Don't worry we'll get this thing under control. I just know we will!" :::He takes another sip of coffee.:::

"You sure you don't need to stop anywhere? You've been hotting that coffee nonstop."

"Eventually! I'll be fine for another hour or so. Of course I expect this little problem over in a few minutes." :::He takes another sip of his coffee.:::

"If you say so..."(leans a little further away, and gets out a plastic bag just in case...)

:::Rolls his eyes and takes another sip of coffee.::: "See the ferris wheel came to a halt!"

Leo: "OH S----! Disengage the grapples and grab some altitude before it rolls back over us!"

:::Watching the ferris wheel sitting still, but still upright. He takes another sip of coffee.::: "I think it looks fine where it is until the emergency services can lay it over. We can resuce the people who were trapped on the ride for their own free wheeling ride."

"Kinda hard...we already have four people in a four-seat hover vehicle..."

:::Looking at the rubber chicken!::: "Where did that guy come from? Maybe he's an effect from protoculture!" :::He then takes a sip of coffee.:::

"Well fine if I am not wanted I'll leave then!"

::with that a rubber chicken in evening wear snorts at colonel anderson & departs the vehicle::


OOC: been crook so not posted often, miss me?

Leo:(taking up pistol)"I dunno where he was hidding, but I think we better clean out the glove compartment again."

Skor: "We ARE still fifty feet up....okay, rubberboy just bounced off a cop down there..."

:::Taking another sip of coffee while watching the rubber chicken man land.::: "That was a heck of a fall he took. He is lucky he landed on that cops stack of donuts."

Aries: "Great...he's going to think WE dropped chickenboy on him..."
Leo:"Always works out that way..."
Skor: "We can still make it to the spaceport, you know..."

:::Rolls his eyes at the suggestion of running.::: "Why do you want to run? Let's just land and explain what happened with the guy in the rubber chicken suit. And we had nothing but best intentions when it come to this whole disaster." :::He takes another sip of coffee.:::

Seren finally gets ATC talked to, and low-flies her Alpha towards the park in guardian mode. She sees the ferris stopped, and turns towards the fallen Zentraedi near the portapotties. The same one she got far too much of a view from before. She shifts the plane into full battloid mode, and lands down to check him over. "You all right?"

Aries: "Easy. We've TRIED being reasonable before, but nobody listens..."
Leo: "They all want to do background checks.."
Skor: "That's when it REALLY hits the fan..."

"I'm sure all of your paper work ios fine. The locals don't want to throw the book at you. They already demonstarted who they want to blame. Oh well, if they want to blame me. Then so be it. Although this was fun! :::He smiles broadly and then starts to takes a sip and then suddenly frowns.::: "Ummmmm. Cuold land near a shop with a restroom in it. Apparently the coffee has reached the end of useage in my body. Please!"

"Yo, Seren! Can we release the clamps? Got a personal emergency aboard, and the nearest relief for it got wiped out! Going to have to break off pursuit for a moment while we drop'em off!"

:::Watching impatiently until the hovercraft got closest to the ground. Setting coffee mug down and sprinting to the nearest restroom. After a few minutes he returns looking like a new man. Colonel Anderson jumps back into the hovercraft. He picks up his coffee mug and takes a sip.::: "Ready to continue the emergency rescue! I'm fine, now."

Seren sighs and glances up from checking the downed worker, walking the Alpha over and taking hold. "Go right ahead. Just don't take too long. We need to get a lot of stuff cleared up, from the mess."

"I've already finished with that problem! Now it's on to the next one!" :::He takes a sip of coffee.:::

:::Looking at the new comer and smiling. He looks over to the poor deaf guy being helped out into an ambulance. He points.::: "That poor sod over there forgot his lucky rabbit's foot at the cafe down there." :::Points at the distant cafe. He then takes a sip of coffee.:::

Aries: "Well, I'm glad this mess is getting sorted out...For once we can call it a complete succe--"
Leo: "Is it my imagination or did all the city lights just wink out? Hard to tell in the middle of the day."
Skor: "Oh crat! You just HAD to say it!"
