GLoG XXXII: The Loved and the Lost

[KerfuffleMach2]

It is an energy based weapon. Not the best I have seen, but it is fairly good quality. He'll hand it to her. So, what did those creatures want?

[billtodamax]

"They said they wanted information. Odd way to go about getting it." remarks Susan. a security drone will attempt to lead the Starly to Susan in the infirmary.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I wonder...They were here before, looking for Turtle.

[The Librarian]

((Don't forget Kerfuffle, you fought them too, these were the same individuals you fought.))

The bird lands on the drone as it goes into the infirmary.

[billtodamax]

"Oh god, that list." Says Susan. She turns to the security drones. "Send some drones to guard, uh... Dani, Lex, Quinn when she comes back, Turtle... that's all I can remember." As the drones go and send more drones to those people's locations, wherever they happen to be, the security drone arrives with Starly.
"You had something to tell us?" Susan asks it.

[KerfuffleMach2]

((Yeah, I remember. Runner has messed with the programming in the drones since then, making it harder to change.))

Runner is curious about this "list", but decides to wait until the Starly is finished.

In his system, he makes a new file for the Starly, since this is his first encounter with one.

[The Librarian]

Runner may detect that two humanoid individuals have just come though the HALO/GLOG portal.

The Starly looks at Susan.
Yes I have a message from HALO about a recent eve-
Starly looks up at Runner and immediately goes off subject due to his short attention span.
Ohhh! Cool, its a robot. I wonder if he's one of those transformers. Are you transformer? Are you? Are you? Are you?
He continues this now flying around in circles. He has a note that now laying on top of the drone he came in on.

[billtodamax]

Susan calls the drone over and reads the note. She's rather amused with the little bird.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Yes, I am. I am surprised you have heard of my race before. Not many here have. Runner decides to monitor them for the moment.

Also, Skrall2 walks into the great room. He looks around, seeing who's there.

[The Librarian]

That would be because of me Autobot I assume. Says a voice from the hall. Two rather tall elves enter the infirmary.
One of them is 6ft 2in, and has green ranger hat, and green dyed bugbear armor carrying a silvery composite bow and a Quarterstaff in hand. He only appears look like he in his late adolesences.
The second elf is 7ft 6in and appear to look like he's in his mid 30s. He wears a classic indigo dyed wizard hat and a Mastermage cloak and robe. that silver and blue. He only carries a massive staff almost as tall as him.
Allow me to introduce ourselves, I am Lowan Tyshougretu.
And my name is Vallasito Tyshougretu.
We are members of HALO and we've come to warn you of an infilitration that is very likely in the next 24 hours.

((My guys will explain it, I don't like writing all of that stuff down again.))

[KerfuffleMach2]

Your Autobot? An infiltration? Runner seems very confused right now.

Skrall2 decides to head towards the infirmary. See if there's anybody there to talk to.

[billtodamax]

((Explain what? Have they explained it before? Link?))
Susan regards the pair.
"I think you might be a little late."

[The Librarian]

((The first events of this in HALO happened four threads back.))

My apologies, I was referring to you sir.
Vallasito walks up to Runner and Susan.
Yes, a few hours ago and even as we speak HALO has been infiltrated by a group of unworldy creatures that according to my Son's dimensional traveling data have come from a distant world known as Calliso on the otherside of our galaxy. We were hoping we could warn that the group of individuals are quite hostile.

[billtodamax]

Susan gestures towards her badly burnt left side.
"Yes, I had figured that out."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Did they look like this? Runner holds a hand to the side of his head, and a hologram of one of the Elites appears.

Skrall2 walks in. He sees the group and stands to the side, close enough to hear.

[The Librarian]

Lowan nods and the Starly lands next to Susan with a twig full of lush, juicy blue berries and sort of offers the twig to her.
Take one of these, they make me feel better when I get hurt.
Yes, that would be them, but that's not the only one we encountered. Dad.
Alright. Vivid Image!
A massive image floats above the room showing the picture of multiple species.
Brutes, Hunters, Drones, and even some humans.

((Click the names.))

[KerfuffleMach2]

Do you have any idea what they want?

Skrall2 studies the images. Runner saves them to his system.

[billtodamax]

Susan shrugs, picks one of the berries and eats them. "Thank you."

[The Librarian]

Vallasito scratches his head for a moment, then finally speaks.
We've tried to figure that out, but most of our encounters have either been with the humans of those groups or those relentless drones. However, one of the humans manage to stay his trigger finger long enough to tell me they're looking for someone.
Lowan steps into the conversation.
Through my dimensional travels I have been to there worlds a few times. Most of their weapons are very hightech. Their handguns-
Lowan pulls a greenish-black looking with two plasma charged tips on it and hands to Runner to look at.
-and their rifles that that plasma rifle over there use a plasma energy core, that can last ten times longer then a max cartridge for even a elvish machinegun. They also have no trigger to fire the weapon with. However, we have learned that over time the plasma heats the metal and eventually the guns stops firing due to a energy overload. Those are only there handguns though.

Upon Susan eating the she feels a surge of warmth rush through her body. Soon, the burned skin on her arm begins to peel away, revealing a new layer of fresh healthy skin.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner studies it and scans it several times before handing it back. The first time they were here, one tried to make a deal with me to help them. They were looking for Turtle. I do not know if you know her. I refused, and they attacked me. They were very agile.

[billtodamax]

Susan thinks for a moment. "Magtok?" She asks.

[The Librarian]

Yeah the Brutes were like that too, they were able to jump nearly 2 meter in the air with no momentum at all.
The other two groups were more focused on defense rather than evasiveness and had very thick hide and armor on. As for the humans, although their are only a few, they are very powerful. One of them even has the ability to dispell 11th level spells.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Magtok? He looks at Susan. Who is that?

[The Librarian]

Lowan turns to Susan stunned by the thought.
Why would that cyborg be involved in this?

[billtodamax]

"I caught a glimpse of a clipboard one of them had. Had alot of names from HALO and GLoG on it, as well as Magtok's name. A lot." Says Susan. "I think that's their target. Unfortunately, he's dead."

((10min warning))

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner thinks for a moment. We need to figure out who is directing them. I feel somebody is commanding them to do this.

[The Librarian]

Whoever it is, they have the power and respect to enlist people from many different worlds to aid them in there task. If this Magtok was piece of the puzzle then I'll bet sooner or later, something is going to go down at AMEN.
Not to mention their weaponry and melee skill are honed greatly and could easily take down a Clan in force.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Runner seems worried about something. Do you know how many species they have recruited from?

And deadtime.

[The Librarian]

I'm afraid not but using my sons data of from his dimensional traveling, we can tell that all of them are from dimensions he's traveled to. We'll keep GLOG posted on our studies on this issue. We will depart for now though so go night to you sir and lady.
Come along Starly, see ya later.
Starly grabs his twig and flies out with Lowan and Vallasito as they exit through the HALO/GLOG teleporter.

((Deadtime))

[billtodamax]

"goodbye." says Susan.
