[Nexus] AMEN XLIII: REVOLUTION!

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

sweetums grabs Pete to make him stop attacking E.

"Arrrr. Look, the first mate is still living, so I'll follow his lead."

Seems that Pete will follow Rogar's orders, so if she gets Rogar to side with her, Pete will follow as well.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

"Hmm..." Ilpholin says, tapping her fingers in thought.

"We'll see." It seemed strangely odd someone with that amount of loyalty would be ok with being anywhere in the same building as her. Very odd indeed.

She turns to Sweetums.
"If you wish to go on the hoard raid, you can. But overall, I do think you'd be in a very good position to train incoming blood and make sure we're the strongest." Teach people how to hit things!

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

Let's see, do training of people, or do something that will have Rogar trying to kill him.

"I'll help with training."
"So, are we done here?"

Pete still struggles to get out of Sweetums' grasp.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

"Not quite. Mr. E, as I understand it you helped run Gordon's intelligence side of things, yes?" Ilpholin asks.

[Zefir]

Meeting Room

But so far all Zefir's been is the pessimistic guy!

"If that's what you believe, then you're missing out on a whole lot. You're also continuing to look at the big steaks, when you're missing the buffet right in front of you. But to directly counter your point with your own example, Riverside began in Outside as a tiny blip, a little suburb, that was nothing more than a convenience." It was a NPC city used solely for the plot purposes of a single character. And look at the influence it had. There's lots out there of interest and worth, though not just in Outside.

"Now, the first project would be going and raiding a massive dragon hoard. Gordon's to be specific. DarkRed has kindly provided a location where it is to be found and will take a group there. Those of you interested in one last act against Gordon and anyone who wants to skim off the top should meet up with DarkRed who will lead you there." After which Phantom will take over the plot in the thread of his choosing.

"Secondly, Atlantis has seen far too little use. I intend to have it revamped into a fallback base and a training facility. New recruits and minions are going to need someplace to practice and learn as we grow. Those of you who like building things should explore the place and submit ideas in that regard." That will occur here and be mostly self contained.

"Finally, there is a large tribe of semi-demonic gnolls, yes located in Outside. A group, led by me personally, is going to go and subjugate them. I know from experience that they give tributes to their leaders, including some fairly useful magic items. By taking them, we will increase our revenues, bolster our forces, and increase the amount of land which we can work with. Their strongest will come back with us for training in the Atlantis facility." As run by SC.

Conquer, steal, or build! Pick your poison.

Meeting Room

Hey his first statement wasn't pessimistic. Just a question cause he has no real reference. Also his player didn't knew that, first he thought it was a part of Insides' Red Zone growing so important to get an own thread.

Hmm Atlantis building, and he as an expert of explosives. Haven't we seen that in a disney movie? Don't think he could do much more then the guy did there so close that out. Stealing things from Gordon? an opption, but let's say he doesn't feel like this is for his skills.

"Think I go for the Gnoll thing as well."

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

"I did. And as long as you let me continue my other activities, I don't see a problem with sharing information with you."

Always looking for what might benefit him, that Mr. E.

[Reinholdt]

Time Tower

"That works for me. Get me access to Gordon's spy network, the satellite, and information and such and you may continue your activities at your leisure. I'll have Mister Squiggles contact you later for the details." The spider is good with that sort of electronic stuff, if not great with his communication skills.

"I think that's everything for now, thank you. Please send Rogar in."

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

"Very good then."

The trio of henchmen step out of the room and head off. Seeing them, Rogar gets up, and still carrying the little catwalks, walking into the room.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

"Hello Rogar." Ilpholin says, giving a nod to the catwalk as well.

"Let's get right down to it then. You were.... particularly close to Gordon yes?" One has to wonder exactly how close to Gordon.

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

"I've known him since we were both children."

The little catwalk glares at Ilpholin. It doesn't like that she hurt its 'grandpa'.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

"That's a long time." Ilpholin says. Gordon was what, 30 or 40 something? She glances down for a moment in thought before glancing back up.

"Why are you still here Rogar?"

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

Gordon was 44 years old this year, but Rogar was a bit younger than him.

"I'm still following orders. A few last ones given to me before the battle."

Rogar pets the catwalk, which gives Ilpholin an almost smirk. It lacks all the things to give one, but it can come close.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

Ilpholin sighs.
"That is.... horribly unfortunate." She thought there'd be some contingencies in the event of failure.

"What, pray tell are these orders specifically?"

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

"One: keep the base running right, two: Make sure no one messes with his things. Three: if he lost, get his body off the field. Four: wait for more orders. I'm still doing one, two and four."

Rogar starts smiling himself at this point.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

Ilpholin paces. "Ah yes. Wait for the inevitable resurrection from the dead, where upon everyone can go GORDON'S ALIVE?! and be all shocked and stuff. Despite the fact that we live in the Nexus, where gods roam freely, eldritch beings serve you coffee, and death is at most a minor inconvenience for someone with resources and contacts. It's like people purposefully blind themselves here to the very basic nature of our world." She's not blind to the fact that she didn't personally cut off his head and stuffed his soul in a gem or something to keep him down.

She pauses in step. "Or was that supposed to be a smug surprise you intended to spring on me later? No matter. When he comes back, I'll deal with him then. But AMEN's mine now and that's not going to change anytime soon." The former orders and contracts were nullified, yet here Rogar is carrying them out anyways!

Ilpholin turns to face Rogar. "And you are going to prove to be an inconvenience to the way I run things. Minor one perhaps, but best to nip it in the bud. I was hoping you'd give me different answers. Maybe even try to lie to me a little. But everything you've said absolutely ensures that you cannot stay here. You and your little pet cat." She rubs her finger and thumb together idly. "Shame we'll lose the pirate." She liked him.

[Zefir]

Main Room

The meeting is over. Zefir goes outside most likly sighting. He had thought IIlpholin would go for a talk with him as well. It seems like she didn't knew it. Also she doesn't seem to bother that he was against her in the fight. Just another lucky moment for him.

He heads for his room, open for everyone to run into him, expect a few persons he would avoid for obviouse reasons.

[ThePhantom]

Adjoining Room

"Oh, I won't deny that AMEN is yours, but there's no need for a resurrection. Its funny, how in your speech you talked about spirit, while that is the thing keeping him alive."

Rogar puts down the little catwalk.

"However, me and my friend are not leaving yet. I can go along with some of your requests, but my duties to Gordon come first. If you want to try to kill me, fine. That's your right. However, I believe that we can come to an agreement that doesn't leave us trying to ruin each other."

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room

Ilpholin does intend to talk to Zefir, but during the member's interviews.

She steps right up to Rogar. "You'd best be real convincing because I'm going to make something very clear. I run this base. If I choose to rifle through Gordon's stuff and hang his underwear on a flagpole outside, it will be done. And if you intend to get in my way as I take AMEN to heights short-sighted Gordon could only dream about, then you... will die." Pretty straightforward.

She steps back. "So make your offer. Make it good."

Seltz works on the incubation tanks win which 6 humanoids are slowly growing inside.

2 female elves are slowly gaining a sniper and a gun-slinger training, while a male human is neurally trained in heavy weapons , a teifling female into a Biomage, a human female into a mechanic, and a male Orc to be a CC expert

((message me if you're interested in playing one of the AMEN elite clones( apart from the sniper^^) ))

BioLab
Meg tries to tap her on the shoulder from behind.
She's wearing a seductive red lipstick and was wearing...well...a simple red dress.
Oh, and a pair of earrings that look like coal.
"Hey..."

Seltz turns round, mouth open, the ciggarette fallen out "wow...you...you look great..."

[Mindfreak]

Seltz turns round, mouth open, the ciggarette fallen out "wow...you...you look great..."

BioLab
"Well...yeah...I guess I am..."
She tries to link arms with Seltz.
"And you look...amazing."

Megan(she's still in her Doctor Horrible outfit) is still finishing up with the panther bot assembly line.
She locks in the computer's power source(an outdated nuclear device that would serve until she made a cleaner, more efficient power source) into the assembly's power engine and opens her computer and starts it up, beginning the slow, boring process of making a panther bot at the rate of one per day.
But that was because she used such an outdated power source.
And with that she lays her weary head to rest, her day's work done.

[iElf]

BioLab
"Well...yeah...I guess I am..."
She tries to link arms with Seltz.
"And you look...amazing."

Seltz blushes, and takes her arm "where are we going then? i don't know the town well..."

[Mindfreak]

Seltz blushes, and takes her arm "where are we going then? i don't know the town well..."

BioLab
Meg shrugged.
"I don't know this town either..."

[iElf]

BioLab
Meg shrugged.
"I don't know this town either..."

"how about the dancing fox then? never been there, but I've heard it's good"

[Mindfreak]

"how about the dancing fox then? never been there, but I've heard it's good"

BioLab
"Sure! Lead the way!" Meg said as she grabbed her bag.

[iElf]

BioLab
"Sure! Lead the way!" Meg said as she grabbed her bag.

Seltz leads Meg to a teleporter, which will take them to the DFI

"We'll see, but for now, I'll take my leave. You won't have to worry about me luring around. I'll be back when my boss returns. Until then."

Rogar turns to leave, collecting the little catwalk.

[Reinholdt]

Adjoining Room -> Meeting Room

"Hmmm... best offer you've given all night." Ilpholin says, going to open the door and step back into the meeting room.

She addresses those who are still there.
"Sadly, Rogar, and by extension his cats and Pete, will no longer be with us. Becky, would you be so kind as to escort those gentlemen out? Thanks."

She looks around.
"Now, I'm free if anyone has questions." I don't think they do, but you never know.

[D_Lord]

Whispers to Roger

Oh I don't think your leaving. You guys are too fun. She'll never find you in this base if I don't want her to. We'll talk some small price latter.

Meeting Room

Can I be interviewed first?

[Reinholdt]

No offense to you D_Lord, but I really do think it best if they leave for the time being for several reasons.

Meeting Room

"You fill out a form?"
