Computer, interface with the Vis-Console, and any systems console that assist in anyway or form in running this world *mech starts computing, and after thinking for a solid 5 minutes, a wireless connection is established* Computer, find and display the location of the thingy *sees two thingys on radar* Odd... *jumps, hovers, then lands right behind felix, noticing the sniper rifle, and laughing at its inability to harm the mech, or the not so hapless driver!*

VisConsole: "WARNING: Unauthorized access detected." Open console display and load security maps. "Access Granted." *a display appears directly in front of me and projects relevant information.* *I tap various controls on the screen; both Thingys disappear from the map. Several more taps produces another image on the map.* Hmm.. a Mech.. VisConsole, establish a security perimeter around the general vicinity of the other Thingy and block all outgoing signals within it. "Access Granted." Ha. Let's see the mech get out of that.

so thats a replicated thingy! its been duped like in a Blizzard game.. what the?!?! My readouts just blacked out! Computer, switch to primary sensors *a shortranged radar activates, but too shortranged to be of much use* I knew i shoulda bought the upgrade! *takes away all of felixes weapons and stores them within the mechs emergency supply area* *controls mech to put felix in a secondary gunners position located on reverse side of mech* Felix, were going to jump around a lot, hovering to get a birds eye view to see if we can find the real thingy. *jumps and hovers for as long as possible many times, hoping the shortrange radar or any other method helps to locate the thingy*

[uses his Jedi powers to remotely locate the Thingy] There it is! [enters the coordinates into the mech's computer] [gets the Redeemer with unlimited ammo ready to fire (which is an extremely powerful guided missile in Unreal Tournament, for those who don't know)]

ok, i'll just hover here, you fire! *hovers mech a safe distance away*

"Warning: Security Perimeter failure. Environmental controls entering lockdown." Reestablish perimeter! "Access Denied. Environment is in lockdown." Aargh! *I check security map of area; Thingys are still invisible to detection, but I still see the mech.* Vis-Console, load human augmentation program Sampson-one, authorization Tavis, author. "Access granted." *An exoskeleton materializes around me with the Thingy secured in front of me*

[hits the alt-fire button on the Redeemer launcher to deploy it in visually-guided mode] [flies toward Tavis and notices the exoskeleton] Hmm, maybe it has a vulnerable spot... [flies around behind Tavis and aims toward the ground as if to fly under him, then pulls straight up and strikes the underside of his mech] Hopefully that'll make a dent

"Incoming projectile. Force projection system activated." *A spherical field pushes outward from the exoskeleton, pushing against the Redeemer without detonating it; the exoskeleton is lifted upwards in the process.* Vis-Console! Establish spatial lock! "Unable to comply without allowing projectile to breach field." Divert projectile and retry. "Access granted." *The redeemer pushes against barrier until it turns enough to skim upward and away and I drop back to the ground; I take aim with a standard rocket launcher and fire at the Redeemer while it is still airborne, launching flares to disorient the remote controlling user.*

[laughs at the attempts to hit the missile] He apparently doesn't realize how much I practice with this thing [effortlessly flies circles around the missiles, flying away from Tavis to re-align another shot] [flies directly towards Tavis, avoiding other missiles as necessary] [at the last minute, pulls down hard and hits the ground in front of Tavis, the intense shockwave moving towards him almost instantaneously]

*Relises no one has named the planet everyone is on and names it BSPs' World* Mwhahaha! Now I shall rule you all!!

Oh dang... "Warning: Field stresses above tol-" *I get blasted into the shockwave and knocked a solid distance away; the exoskeleton's image flickers just long enough to lose Thingy containment.* NOOOO! -thud- *Thingy keeps flying for miles until it hits ground somewhere with a solid "p-THOK!"*

[switches to the sniper rifle and headshots BSP] Now it's mine! [uses his Jedi powers to levitate the Thingy and bring it into Foxchild's posession] [fires several more Redeemers in Tavis's general direction, not using the guidance function in hopes of hitting him at least once]

Uh oh... *Sees something worse.* AAARGH!! Tavis is different!! AAAAARGH!!!

Tavis · Postby **Tavis** » Fri Dec 19, 2003 7:42 am

Yikes! *I shoot the first one, divert the second in same fashion as first Redeemer wave, only to get hit by the third.* "Character destroyed. Resetting parameters." *I reemerge elsewhere, still as a program in a .VCS file* D'oh!

[switches to the ASMD Shock Rifle because it's pretty and blue] [shoots a few shots into the air to see the pretty blue shots] [realizes it's also one of the weakest guns and switches to the missile launcher instead] [places the Thingy safely within Foxchild's mech] Now, who wants this silly thing?
