Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
"Brilliant idea!" says Liz, examining the controls. "We must lift off post haste. We won't get far on foot."

Realising what the others are doing, Zara changes direction and runs for the Minnow Two.

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
"This ship must not fly!" cries one of the masked men. Although his voice is muffled by the ski mask, it is powerful enough to ring throughout the room. He and the four other intruders position themselves in a variety of poses that those familiar with martial arts will recognize as preparation for combat at close quarters. The one who spoke shouts "Yah!" and launches himself at the Professor, striking out with his foot.
The lightning-fast kick is deadly accurate, striking the Professor in the chest and knocking him down.
The Professor moans with pain, and speaks in a weak voice.
"I believe I have suffered a fracture of several of my costae verae."
"Let that be a warning to you," the intruder says. "Back away from the ship."

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
Tony -- and everyone else -- notices that the newcomer does not speak in the same manner as the Russian agents. His English is quite perfect. Other than that, he can't tell anything about the fellow's origins.VictoriaSilverwolf wrote:jp1885 wrote:

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
Liz rushes to help the professor and, if he is willing, to move him away from the ship.

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
"I say old chap, steady on!"
Tony remains between the attackers and Zara and Lew, whilst also attempting to cover Liz and the Professor, but makes no hostile move.
"Don't I know you? MI6 perhaps? How is old Dickie? Or maybe British Rocket Group? If that's the case, tell Sir Bernard he still owes me a lunch."
He grins, having shamelessly namedropped enough.
"Now, shall we discuss this amicably before the robotic goons arrive?"

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
Lew will also go over to help the Professor away from the ship.
"You're quite right, this ship should not sail." Lew says as he ushers everyone away from the ship. "However, the heavy handed approach everyone seems to take these days is quite unnecessary."

Zara tries to scan the visible parts of the attackers' faces, wondering if this newfound recall of hers will let her recognise any of Natasha's goons.

The initial shock of injury having progressed to a more painful condition, he makes no objection.Mr. Handy wrote:

This draws a few chuckles from the leader of the masked men.jp1885 wrote: "I say old chap, steady on!"

"Typical British imperialist! Think yourself so important! Stand aside, while we disable this capitalist toy."
He gestures for the other men to approach the vehicle.

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
Rather than remembering any Russians, Zara's perfect recall brings to mind a documentary she caught a few seconds of on the local PBS station, about the Chinese martial arts sporting event known as Wushu. The leader of these men resembles a master of the discipline she saw for a fraction of a second, demonstrating his skills.SunlessNick wrote:

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
Whilst Tony cannot identity the men, they are clearly not freedom-loving westerners. At least, he muses, they wish to destroy the vehicle rather than steal it to unleash upon the world.
Still, he reasons, better safe than sorry...
Without warning the playboy detective leaps into the vehicle (I assume he is nearer the machine than these fellows) and begins jabbing buttons.
OOC: Rash and foolish yes, but where’s the fun in letting the bad guys have their own way? |
Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
Liz administers first aid to treat the professor's injury, content to let the intruders wreck the vessel. It saves them the trouble of sabotaging it themselves.

"You're Chinese?" Zara says to the leader, partly in surprise at another faction showing up, partly to distract him from Tony.

Taken aback by this inquiry, since his English is perfect, without a trace of accent, the leader stops for a moment to study the young woman addressing him.SunlessNick wrote: "You're Chinese?"

"Why do you ask that? How much do you know about us?"
He gestures to the others to join him, as he readies himself, standing in a position indicating preparation for combat.

Re: Track Six: Up, Up and Away
The Professor regains sufficient strength to stand on his own, although he is obviously in some pain. Seeing what's going on, he staggers weakly in the direction of the vehicle.Mr. Handy wrote:

"My old nemesis, the ancient Doctor, must have sent them," he murmurs, mostly to himself. "Must not let him stop me again."

"I saw you on TV, doing that martial arts stuff," Zara says, hoping he can tell she's being truthful.
