soulping | Sci-Fi Mini Event 2

[You find yourself in an armory. There's benches, both to work at, and just to sit down. There's maps of star systems, planets, coordinates you don't really understand, no matter how long you look at them. And, yes, since it's an armory, there's armaments. Plenty of them. On one end of the room, there's four small chambers, each with an silhouette of person in a suit of armor over them:

One is a large, muscular person, holding a machine gun in their hands.
One is a much more diminutive person, manipulating a wrist-held device of some sort.
One is a person crouched down, holding a sword in both hands.
The last has no weapon, but instead has energy radiating from the palms of their hands.

If you step into one of these chambers, they'll open, and in a short time, you'll be augmented with the armor and weaponry of your chosen loadout. On the other side of the armory is a shooting range. If you step into one of the booths, holographic enemies will appear for you to practice your new weaponry on. Beyond that, you might as well relax. Things will get crazy soon enough.]

I'm guessin' you sneaky assholes won't climb through the vents and toss this grenade through, huh?

[Since it. Would kill the hostages.]

[Sparks:] "Yeah, let's not throw grenades while the Princess is still there."

"...afterwards, though, great idea, I'm all for it, personally."

A shame we aren't able to use some sort of force field to protect her while we clear them all out.

Those two've got invisibility, right? Send them in, and have'em distract ;em while we charge the door.

...cheh. If we're gonna be sneaking in there, one of us should get in position to attack and one should get the princess.

[Glances at Callie.]

[Look, the AU made him only a little smarter, he just wants to go try out his gravity hammer, okay?]

We would need to consider the sort of distraction so we don't risk them both being targeted...

Is there a door on the other side of the room? One of them could open the door and make noise on the other side. That should be able to be enough to split the group, and we can deal with those guarding the Princess more easily and toss that grenade down the hall to handle the rest.

[Only one entrance. The only other way in is through the vent behind the princess, which connects to a vent in the hallway and looks big enough to fit one person.]

I'm still sayin' send the two with invisibility through the vent.

Then have onna them throw something at a wall or somethin'.

That seems to be the best choice. If one of the grabs the Princess while the guards are distracted and returns here, THEN we can put that grenade to use.

Sounds like a plan ta me.

Only one of us is gonna fit through that vent. If she, [Points at Callie.] goes through and gets the Princess and you, [Points at you two big guys.] draw their fire, I'll cloak myself and plant the grenade while they get out.

Sound simple enough? I can use smaller words.

I like that idea best. Let's do that.

Hell, I'm game.

Alright. [To Callie:] You, go get in the vent. [He takes a breath and takes out his sword.]

When you're in position, call it, then we'll open the door. I'll run in and get ready to use the grenade.

[just gonna go ahead and try squeezing into the vent to go extract the princess]

[Checks his gun.

Somehow, he knows how to use a gun.

Shit's weird.]

[When Callie gets n position in the vent, she'll see Princess Stela is sat against the wall, a pair of futuristic looking cuffs on her arms. She lets out a low grumble as she looks over the dozen-plus guards, either focused on her or pointing their guns at the door.]

Okay, she's in position. [To Ochre:] Open up the door.

[Popping the door open]

Hey, bitches! Over here!

[Let's just. Shoot them all.

Not the princess, obviously, but everyone else.]

[meanwhile, making her way over to the princess, putting a hand over Stela's mouth to prevent any noise and putting a finger over her own lips in a 'hush!' gesture]

[The pirates are all firing at the door and don't notice Callie sneaking in. Stella meanwhile just nods to her. Honestly, she doesn't seem that perturbed by all the...gunfire. Her hands are blocked, so she'll need help moving into the vent, but she'll follow her otherwise.]

[Ochre's SAW fills the room with lead and about three of the pirates get popped in the dome and tumble to the ground in.

The rest IMMEDIATELY return fire, sending a wall of gunfire out through the doorway. You're gonna wanna get out of the way of that immediately.]

Smaller words aren't necessary. I'll be sure stand ready out here.

[...and you can only use a vent to limit numbers by so much. alas.]
