DAY FOUR - THE BOMBS

[inferis]

[Well, the message has got out to you, you need to find those explosives, and fast! Don't forget to get your space suits on, and those on the Event Horizon need to prepare themselves to move to the Lewis and Clark]

EVENT HORIZON

[inferis]

[The explosives could be anywhere, and you have to deal with the corrupted residents who will stop at nothing to prevent you from escaping. After all, they WANT you all to go with them to hell

Perhaps some might decide to help you, to find a swifter way to end your days.

It's a fifty fifty with these crazies, really. Good luck]

TEAM 1

[inferis]

[fanstheflame]

[he'd heard something about a message - something about bombs, something about escape, about getting people to safety. in the midst of his wandering through the dark, that, at least, reached his ears.

finally, there was a resistance forming. maybe he had a chance of freeing his friends, after all. Gale began to make his way up out of the Tunnel of Doom, still listening for the canary, that tiny little bird that could lead him to fresh air and freedom.

hopefully he wouldn't run into any more Peacekeepers...]

[whistles_the_blues]

[Gale may hear some heavy footsteps coming up behind him. Blues is on the look out for the explosives too. Gale doesn't look like Gale to him, instead Gale looks like a certain blue robot that Blues really doesn't like. However, he's beaten a fair share of people who look just like that since yesterday. He knows odds are that this isn't the actual Rock either. So he'll resist the urge to punch you in the face today.]

[silentrunning]

[She's sneaking along that very same hallway, it happens, carrying a scalpel in her left hand. She pauses for a moment, ducking into a doorway to watch them. Hmm. Two of the people she was stalking yesterday...AND they're together. What are they planning? She stays perfectly still, as quiet as possible, just watching and listening. Have they decided to do the sensible thing after all?]

[fanstheflame]

[in the dim light, all Gale can make out is the shadow of armor, and that doesn't bode well at all. he tenses]

You're never gonna take us all, you know. We're fighting back, now. All of us. Together. Twelve whole Districts. So even if you do take me out, you're not even slowing us down.

TEAM 2

[inferis]

[not_nikkiheat]

[Kate tries to recall everything she's ever learned about bombs, in hopes of finding it in time. Of course, space bombs could look completely different from explosives she's seen, but she's betting on them having some similarities.

She's got her bullet wound bandaged as best she could, and she's covered in blood and filth from head to toe, but she's slowly making her way through the corridors, looking carefully for any sign of a bomb.]

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny strongly suspected that if any of his friends could see him right now, they'd be sending him straight to the hospital. Between his ribs and everything that weirdo had done? He was lucky to still be walking.

But someone had to find these bombs. And there weren't too many choices left in this ship. If he didn't do this, who would?

So Danny just keeps forcing himself down the corridor, ignoring the pain that radiated from his entire body. Was it possible to have a full body limp?]

TEAM 3

[inferis]

[onlythefishiest]

[Corridors keep happening, it seems. Feferi walks through the ship, and everywhere she goes the dead are still staring. It's enough to make her want to close her eyes, maybe forever. Except she is stronger than that, and she will not just give up and drown.]

Where is the best plaice to start? I know we need suits, and I know we need the bombs, but I haven't seen -EITH-ER of those yet!

[wolf_of_war]

[Bladewolf follows close behind Feferi, his AR Mode engaged as he turns his head back and forth, scanning for what they need.]

Be patient, Ms. Peixes. We will find them. I have been scanning for the chemical makeup of the explosives we will be using, so it should not take much longer to locate them. The space suits, however, I believe should be located in a locker room near the rear of the ship, where the crew would prepare for excursions out in space.

TEAM 4

[inferis]

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia might look like hell, all blood-splattered clothes and bruised face as far as the eye can see, but she sure doesn't want to go back there.

Desperation drives her strength. A bomb, they say, is the only way. She doesn't even know what that should look like, a metal box, a cannon ball? Not that it stops her from toppling over everything in the control room and searching every nook. ]

[kryptonian]

[Kara is first into the room. She sees Lucrezia and then turns back to shout at Steph and give her the heads up.]

Your backstabber got out.

LEWIS AND CLARK

[inferis]

[At least you don't have any crazies to fight, and you have a smaller ship to search. Still, best get looking]

TEAM 1

[inferis]

[hardenedimmortal]

[Adam frowns as he glances about. At his side, his left hand flexes and clenches, a nervous habit he'd picked up before his ability had manifested. Apparently, under the extreme duress, it resurfaced despite the years that he went into keeping himself from having tells.

His eyes are dark, steely. He looks like the solider that he was at heart. This was it, the final stretch. They were going to find those explosives and save those people. There was no 'if' about it.]

Where should we start?

[banshee_rider]

Cargo bay, work our way outward.

[Kelly knows ships. She knows where to look on ships. She's deployed and disarmed explosives before; this is in every waywhat she was designed for.

Working with civlians, however, has her on edge. She doesn't know any of these people, can't predict how they're going to take the search party, and as a Spartan feels partially responsible for them.

She casts wary glances at them as the plumb the depths of the ship.]

TEAM 2

Re: TEAM 2

[the_effect_she_has]

[Katniss had found a duffel bag in the cabin she was in - dumped out the contents and carried it to the control room, where she looked around at the other team members.]

We don't have a lot of time. We need to get moving. I suggest we start in the engine room, and move forward.

[bronwe]

[ Frodo just looks startled at the girl quickly getting into action, though he does rush to start on his way to the engine room, looking over his shoulder at the others to see that they are following. ]

What are we trying to find? What does it look like?

THE DOORS

[inferis]

[This is where you need to set up your found explosives, ready for detonation. The tunnel linking the two ships seems to be sturdy enough to take the blast, but space suits will be needed to travel through it once the blasts go off]

[wolf_of_war]

[With all of the explosives and space suits gathered, Bladewolf has taken it upon himself to actually place and set the timer on the Event Horizon's side of the door. Carrying a large bundle of the explosives wrapped in his tail, and one in his mouth, he races down the corridor.

He reaches the large door, and places his explosives all around the perimeter of the heavy metal door separating them from freedom, before calling out via his internal radio, not sure if they can hear him on the other side.]

I am placing the explosives now, and setting the timer for two minutes. I suggest you do the same, and vacate the corridor as quickly as possible. I realize that this is not much time, but the sooner the explosives are detonated and the corridor opened, the sooner we can evacuate.

[With his tail manipulator, Bladewolf punches a few buttons to set the explosive timer for two minutes. Just enough time for him to get clear, but not so much that one of the possessed can run down the corridor and disable them. Before punching the start button, he speaks once more.]

Good luck.

[Aaaaand start! Bladewolf takes off like a shot, running back to the airlock door leading back inside the Event Horizon.]

[fanstheflame]

[finding the explosive and getting it to the door with his sanity intact has been an exercise of will, to say the least. but looking at the space suits makes Gale balk. they're far too close to mining gear for his comfort, in some ways.]

I don't know about this.
