=========================================================== Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Gama Master (GM) ----------------------------------------------------------- It is now 10 pm. It's very dark. Skeeter is standing watch over the tunnel that he and boy found, while boy rests. Jiro, Redmond, and Apollo have fortified the farm house. The Flyer team heads up and enters the house. I presume you relay the info on what was found to the others. Some food is found for those who are hungry. This message was last updated by the GM at 20:26, Mon 26 Feb 2007. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- As the two parties come back together, an unexpected face shows itself in the group. Kael, injured only a short time ago by being thrown from a horse, comes riding up to the farmhouse on that same horse, his face stony. Just outside the house he would dismount and tie the horse to a tree before walking inside. "Apollo.. Redmond," he greeted the two before taking a seat. (OOC: Yeah, I'm finally back. Hope I can still find a place with the group *grin*) =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Solomon Sheperd ----------------------------------------------------------- Solomon was saddling his horse as Kael came riding up, "Glad to see that you're better. Did you see the flying machine and did it attack Cedar Valley?" He seemed very anxious to know the answer to this question. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- "I didn't see much of anything," Kael said. "I was unconcious most of the time, but I did meet Pepsi on the way back. He said that he was going to give a message to Sarge and get the militia out.. Besides that.." he shrugged in apolagy. "Sorry I can't be much more help then that." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Xavier Ashe ----------------------------------------------------------- "How long ago did you leave town?" X asks. Then he explains to all, "I'm wondering if the attack occurred after he left. If not, then we may be mistaken about some of our assumptions." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Solomon Sheperd ----------------------------------------------------------- Solomon nodded with a sigh, "It's okay Kael. I was just hoping that what we fear didn't happen. But it's good to know that you're okay. Phebe and I are heading to the village in case it was firebombed and people need healing. We'll be back as soon as we can. The others are inside. Why don't you go on inside and get some rest? Tomorrow's gonna be a big day. They can fill you in on what we've found." (OOC: Good to know that you're back Kael. :) =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Pierce ----------------------------------------------------------- Pierce nodded kurtly to Kael. It was good to see that he was alright, but right now there were more pressing things on his mind. He wolfed down any food that was put in front of him before he spoke. "We followed the tracks for a short way, they were heading to the north east (right?). But we lost them after a short time. Sarge will probably want to know that, so that he can get sure the proper reception is ready if necessary." Pierce looked grim as he said the last bit. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Khari Saldeen ----------------------------------------------------------- As the newcomer who was not so new entered the room, Khari simply nods and says, " 'Lo" It's always hard to meet new people. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- "How long? I guess about two, maybe two and a half hours ago. I never saw any of these 'flyers' you're talking about." Kael frowned, trying to decipher what he was talking about. "Flyer? Do you mean ancient technology?" The possibility of finding ancient technology intrigued him, especially after being off his feet for the past few days. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Xavier Ashe ----------------------------------------------------------- "Yes," X answers. "Ancient technology being used by a murderous group, possibly targeting Cedar Valley. He turns to Phebe. "So can we figure out if it was Cedar Valley at all from this information?" =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Redmond Jacoby ----------------------------------------------------------- Redmond frowns thoughtfully. "Strange, that two dangerous forces surface at the same time. Can the buggems be communicated with? If so, the forces behind the flyer might have co-ordinated with them..." He sounds as though he doesn't much like the idea. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Jiro ----------------------------------------------------------- "I am sure we could invite them over for dinner, we could discus this miss understanding while they are eating your spleen. I'll just duck across and pass on the invitations" Jiro puts his hand on the door handle awaiting for Redmonds approval. [Private to Gama Master: And if he says yes, I will go to the hole and call for them to join us for dinner. I will be off line until the 27 Oct] =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Phebe Irpeel ----------------------------------------------------------- Xavier Ashe typed:He turns to Phebe. "So can we figure out if it was Cedar Valley at all from this information?" Phebe considers. "No. I received no sense of the town's location, one way or the other..." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- "Umm," Kael said, some of the old smart mouth he had been so famous for before dissapearing, "what have I missed while I've been gone? Who are these two? And what are you guys talking about with two dangerous forces? I mean, first the flyer.. and buggems? Is that the ant thing that I got knocked unconcious while we were fighting?" OOC: I've read through the posts as much as possible, and I have a limited understanding, albeit more then Kael. Could someone post a brief summary just for both our benefits? ICly, I mean. This message was last edited by the player at 23:47, Fri 22 Oct 2004. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Redmond Jacoby ----------------------------------------------------------- Redmond wilts under Jiro's scorn. "I... I didn't say that at all. I just... you know what, forget it." Turning, he walks over to the door, and begins checking the defenses to make sure that they're strong. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Khari Saldeen ----------------------------------------------------------- Khari's head is swimming with everything going on. It was all he could do to keep up with the talk about some mysterious group and firebombs. Then Jiro asked Redmond if he wanted to invite the buggems over...what was that about? Of course Redmond wouldn't want to do that. And this new person, who everyone seemed to know, who was he? Khari thinks for a moment to recall the proper social response, then walks over to Kael to introduce himself. "I' Khari Saldee'. It's nice t' 'ake yer aqu-qu-quaintence. We been huntin' bugs, kill'd a few, an'rescued so'e folks, then we was decidin' what t' do 'bout t' holes when that flyin' 'achine crashed inna woods. Couldn' fin' t' pilot. Then we ca'e back here." His social duty done, and quite worn out from so much talking, Khari returns the spot where he was standing and starts examining at a small piece of material he had brought back from the crash site. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Jiro ----------------------------------------------------------- Turning to Redmond and sincerely "Sorry", If you have any sensible ideas on how we may comunicate to them I would be happy to hear it, though we havent heard them mutter a word yet." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Gama Master (GM) ----------------------------------------------------------- PM [Private to Khari Saldeen: You got the feeling that the buggems communicated using some non-verbal communication. Either scent, like some other insects, or something else.] =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Xavier Ashe ----------------------------------------------------------- "I suggest we rest and have a solid watch overnight. If there's anything really bad back at Cedar Valley, I'm sure they'll come get us." X yawns and walks around looking for a place to lay down. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Pierce ----------------------------------------------------------- Pierce nodded in agreement with X's comment. "They know where we are, that's for sure." He gave a brief rundown of what happened to Kael, "We went into the hive, split up and went down two different tunnels. One group found the kids, the other found a bunch of people the buggems captured. We got out and saw a flying machine head toward Cedar Valley. It was heading back and crashed. Some of us went to look at it. The pilot left the crash, going in the northeast, but we lost the trail after a short way. From what Phebe was able to tell about the pilot, he's not a nice guy." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Xavier Ashe ----------------------------------------------------------- X nods at Pierce's commentary. "Yes, and we never found the queen buggem. We think it's a hive mentality." He scratches his cheek with one mutated claw before stretching out to sleep. "Let me know when it's my turn for a watch." He rubs his eyes. "That burst of energy from my eyes takes a lot out of me. I need some rest." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- Oh yeah, everything was definitely weirder then when he had left. Kael just shrugged, and was about to make a snide comment when his eyes settled on a person who could only be the aforementioned 'Phoebe'. It was.. it was her! The same person who.. Kael hurridly swallowed, turning almost a bright red before he managed to get himself back under control. "So um.. what's ah.. what's the plan now?" he managed to stutter out, not looking directly at the rest of the group. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Redmond Jacoby ----------------------------------------------------------- Redmond shrugs to Jiro. "Well, uh... I dunno. Maybe a psychic could? Maybe you have to talk to the queen. I meant, though, that the people who own that flyer might have a way to talk to the buggems. The buggems have shown themselves to be smart enough to ally with some humans to make eating others easier. Just seems... odd, that's all, that two problems would appear at once." Looking a bit embarrassed, he returns to checking the defenses. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Jiro ----------------------------------------------------------- To Redmond "It may be worth putting some thought into, all we have to do is find the queen, the obvious problem is we will have to kill a lot of them to see her unless they are willing to listen." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Khari Saldeen ----------------------------------------------------------- Khari is not sure it will be possible to establish communication with these bugs. "I do' know if it'll be easy t' talk t' th' bugs. Fro' what I saw an' heard, I got t' feelin' they use scent 'r taste to talk t' each oth'r. Kinda like ants..." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Phebe Irpeel ----------------------------------------------------------- Kael Laton typed:Oh yeah, everything was definitely weirder then when he had left. Kael just shrugged, and was about to make a snide comment when his eyes settled on a person who could only be the aforementioned 'Phoebe'. It was.. it was her! The same person who.. Kael hurriedly swallowed, turning almost a bright red before he managed to get himself back under control. "So um.. what's ah.. what's the plan now?" he managed to stutter out, not looking directly at the rest of the group. Phebe observes Kael's reaction with a slightly puzzled expression, which after a few moments gives way to recognition and enlightenment. With a thoughtful look, Phebe regards Kael with a gentle yet penetrating gaze... [Private to Gama Master: A penny for Kael's thoughts... :)] =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Gama Master (GM) ----------------------------------------------------------- PM [Private to Phebe Irpeel: You try to sense Khael's thoughts, but you get no reading on him. Perhaps you were unable to focus your mind properly.] =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Phebe Irpeel ----------------------------------------------------------- PM [Private to Gama Master: What are the rules regarding repeated attempts for Telepathy?] =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- "Talk? They're bugs," Kael said, aware that he hadn't been with them down in the tunnels. "If they're attacking or causing problems, then we should kill the queen, end the infestation.. whatever they are." He finally looked over at Phebe and smiled weakly. "Ma'am," Kael said before turning quickly away to look back at the others. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Pierce ----------------------------------------------------------- Pierce nodded. "That's pretty much what we've decided. The problem is, that we don't know how many of them there are or how big the nest is." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Xavier Ashe ----------------------------------------------------------- X cocks one eye open from his place where he has collapsed to rest. "Or where the queen is," he adds before shutting his eyes again. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Solomon Sheperd ----------------------------------------------------------- Once Solomon's horse was saddled, he climbed into the saddle and spurred the mount forward towards Cedar Valley at a rapid pace. (OOC: I'm assuming that Phebe is going too.) =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Phebe Irpeel ----------------------------------------------------------- [Private to Gama Master: Insert any repeated Telepathy attempts here... :)] "You all get what rest you can. We'll see if our healing is needed in Cedar Valley, and return when we are able." "'The LORD bless thee, and keep thee...'" =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Pierce ----------------------------------------------------------- Pierce nodded to Phebe and Solomon as they left. "Be careful out there." He took a turn at watch, in case the buggems decided to attack. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Jiro ----------------------------------------------------------- "We attack under the cover of daylight!" Jiro appears to be thoughtful "At least we dicussed the options, the town has enough people to hold back the odd raid though if we are worried we could form two teams, one to go back to town and the other to deal with the bugmen." thinking out loud. =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Redmond Jacoby ----------------------------------------------------------- Redmond nods to Phebe and Solomon as they leave. "You two be careful - we'll see you soon." Sitting back, he listens to Jiro's thoughts. "If we stay here and are defensive, we can do more good, though. I could go set up traps around the buggems' nest to try and slow them down, or at least give us some extra advance warning." =========================================================== Re: Act 1 Scene 8 - Back at the Farm by Kael Laton ----------------------------------------------------------- Ohhh yeah, Kael was lost. It showed in his face, but he did his best not to let it get to him. Instead, he leaned back in his chair and took a long drink from the water pouch he had brought back with him from town. He would tag along until he had it all figured out, and then he'd be able to contribute more to the discussions going on. =========================================================== A FRESH START by Gama Master (GM) ----------------------------------------------------------- It is now 10:30 pm... the same day as all the exploration of the buggems tunnels... =========================================================== |
