IC-Ep 3-Evacuation(Everyone else)

[Thorn]

Brook retreats to the back with Elizabeth, watching the Mi Go and their weapons warily.

ooc,don't know if this also referred to Lucius, as he was feeling pretty good at being securely hidden away... but if it did... undoubtedly things are going to get bad for him. Glad it's happening right when I'm going on vacation.

Sanity - Fail,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3428288/]Sanity (39%) (1d100=74)[/url]

Sanity loss = 6,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3428290/]Sanity (39%) (1d6=6)[/url]

Idea check = success,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3428293/]Idea(80%) (1d100=33)[/url] bring on the temporary insanity... :P

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Yes, I meant [b]Lucius[/b] too. He knows the Mi-Go are here, and he can hear their buzzing. The good news is that he didn't lose enough to go indefinitely insane a second time, and that he can now encounter Mi-Go without losing any further Sanity (at least for the likely duration of the adventure). I'll wait until Sunday for the base crew to make Sanity rolls and for those who are sane to react to the Mi-Go before I move things along.

Lucius Verres,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3429021/][b]Lucius[/b] goes into hysterics for the next 7 rounds. Feel free to have him act out[/url].

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth watches the Mi-Go with concern, but doesn't respond to their question, leaving it to the base crew to deal with this part of the negotiation, or Story. She stands well back, beside Brook.

Juliette really does not like the buggers. But she does not panick and remains calm and alert. She does not like this situation at all...

[jaysun81]

Story quickly scans the room to gauge the reactions of all humans present.

[Mr. Handy]

Lt. Hu's nerves were on edge, but he narrowly kept his mind steady. Major Natalia Orlova was calm and collected, and stepped forward, saluting Lt. Colonel Bruce. Private Sofia Torres was fascinated but not unduly disturbed. Private George Bond was also unaffected.

Bruce returned the major's salute. "What is the situation here?" he asked.

"Sir," said Orlova, "Colonel Patel has orchestrated a mutiny and taken command away from General Pryce. She is the one who ordered the dome to be sealed - and she called off the evacuation."

"Thizzz izzz unaczzzeptable," buzzed the leading Mi-Go.

Bruce turned to face the creature and raised a hand. "General Pryce has been cooperative," he said. "It is the treacherous Colonel Patel who is responsible for this. If you will allow me and my security forces to terminate her coup, we can restore the general to command and resume the evacuation."

"Very well," replied the Mi-Go. "We shall remain here."

"Thank you." Bruce approached Private Alison Silver and Private Robert MacCrimmon, and they exchanged salutes. "Come with me, both of you."

"Yes, sir," they said in unison.

OOC,[b]Story[/b], please roll Psychology. Everyone else is free to do so as well.

[Lynx]

Juliette lets out a gasp as Major Orlova gives the creatures yet another reason to persist. Either is she plain stupid or affected by some Mi-goo power. As Lt. Colonel Bruce has not adressed her personally she opens a channel to control.

Mr Handy,or where ever she believes Colonel Patel to be.

Colonel Patel,"[b]Colonel Patel[/b], are you there?"Juliette says and waits for confirmation. She then Continues." Mam, the mi-goo has returned with[b] Lt. colonel Bruce[/b]. [b]Major Orlova[/b] has spilled the beans about you taking over, and[b] lt. Colonel Bruce[/b] is bringing[b] private Silver[/b] and[b] private Mac Crimmon[/b] with him. I am no sure if the lt.colonel is going to terminate the coup as he said, or wether he is playing along with the mi-goo to lure them. Be careful, I pray, do not take any offensive action, we have multiple enimies heavily armed in our hanger, where our ships, and only safe return, are positioned."

. Juliette then ponders what to do next.

OOC,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3437930/]Rolling Psychology (stat 41%) as Bruce approaches other officers and they seem to comply really eagerly (1d100=72)[/url]

[jaysun81]

OOC,Score! [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3438511/]Psychology - 85% (1d100=5)[/url]

[Mr. Handy]

Juliette Desjardins,[spoiler]You probably meant to say [b]Private Silver[/b], the other security officer. [b]Private Torres[/b] is the computer specialist.[/spoiler] "Thank you for the heads up, Captain," replied [b]Colonel Patel[/b]. "I'd better get out of the Command Centre; that's the first place they'll look for me. Don't take any offensive action yet, but keep me apprised of the situation. I'll give you my private frequency that will let you speak directly to my earpiece. As for the Mi-Go, we have an ace up our sleeve in case things turn ugly. I truly appreciate your loyalty and courage, and I'm glad I can count on you." She gave [b]Juliette[/b] a different frequency to use so that she could still communicate while on the move.

Elizabeth Young,[b]Elizabeth[/b] couldn't tell much about everyone's state of mind. She hardly knew the base crew, and the whole situation was confusing, with shifting loyalties and new surprises. It was hard to tell where people really stood.

Story,[b]Story[/b]'s attention was drawn to [b]Lt. Colonel Bruce[/b]. His voice seemed toneless and unemotional, his movements almost mechanical. He was not the bombastic, arrogant, military fool that [b]Story[/b] remembered when he was being questioned. Yet there was still something deadly about him. In many ways, [b]Bruce[/b] was acting much like [b]General Pryce[/b] had after he had recovered in the medical lab. The more [b]Story[/b] thought about it, the more some form of alien mind control seemed a possibility. [b]Bruce[/b] had been in the Mi-Go's custody for quite some time, and they did demonstrate telepathic, mind-altering abilities. He resembled a puppet whose strings were being pulled by someone else. The security officers under his command did not seem to be suffering from the same effects. They were in control of themselves and displayed normal human emotions. But the security chief was their commanding officer, and they would clearly do whatever he told them. [b]Major Orlova[/b] seemed rational, and while she did try to supress her emotions, he could still sense anger in her. It seemed directed at [b]Colonel Patel[/b] and her mutiny. Whatever the chief scientist's motivations were, she seemed loyal to [b]General Pryce[/b].

[Thorn]

Confused by the ever changing dynamics, Brook stays near Elisabeth, feeling like she can't contribute much to the situation. She looks to her companions, realising Lucius isn't anywhere in sight, and looks around for him discreetly.

[Lynx]

Juliette stares at the screen, wondering why her instincts screams that something about Bryce is all wrong. If he is acting or there is something else wrong she can not tell, not that she is ever any good at reading people. She reaally hopes he is just playing along with the Mi-goo. And coming back to give them hell..

Mr Handy,Is one of the Mi-Go the injured one from earlier?

[Mr. Handy]

Brook found Lucius hiding behind the mid-sized spacecraft that she gathered was the Persephone. He was curled up on the floor, mumbling and sobbing. "Oh, gods!" he moaned. "Diana, protect me from these fiends! Mercury, bear me home!"

Story,No, that Mi-Go is not among these five. It was shorter than them, and none of these appear to be injured.

[Thorn]

Brook slips quietly over to Lucius, trying not to draw any attention to herself, and sits down to comfort the Roman, whispering soothingly. "It'll be allright, Lucius....We've always gotten out of these scrapes before...Just you wait and see. Story'll think of something..." She strokes his hair, trying to calm him down.

[ImpInTraining]

"No, don't you see? They're not even of our world! They brought their own magic devices... We're surely going to die this time!" Lucius insisted to Brook. "We should flee back to the TARDIS! Right away! ... If only I could get my feet to cooperate..."

[jaysun81]

Story starts walking towards the Mi-Go as he proceeds in their direction and with a look of concern he asks them: "How is your comrade that sustained the injury?" He stops once he gets with arms reach of the aliens. Looking at the device and smiles. "So..." Pointing to the clusters of metal tubes. "What do we have here?"

[yockenthwaite]

Elizabeth watches Story, and also looks over to where Brook went, wondering what her young fellow TARDIS traveller is doing.

[Mr. Handy]

Alison and Robert followed Lt. Colonel Bruce into the interior airlock that led into the base. The door was soon secured, and the airlock began to cycle.

"The other Mi-Go will recover," replied the tallest Mi-Go to Story. "Thezzze devizzzezzz are for defenzzzive purpozzzezzz, in cazzze of further hozzztility."

OOC,[b]Lucius[/b], your temporary insanity has now worn off, and you may act freely.
