I imagined them like the robots from... You know what? I can't remember what that show was I imagined them from! If I were any better of a Paint artist, I could probably draw it, but alas, I am not.

I imagined them as cheesy robots from a 50's B-rate sci-fi movie.

Sent from boobs (because why not?)

OOC: Well, I think of them more to be different, by class: Basic - ComputerCraft turtle-forum , Medium- Android/Humanoid, Final (Boss/General) - Terminator. :p


Techno got everything from inside the box, then went and started looking for a more suitable place to relocate. Techno passed Liara a large bundle of cloth that had wrapped something up, and whatever was inside was very heavy. Just to make sure that no=one would get into trouble by falling into the hole or something equally silly, Tehcno bvundled everyone into his and the_j's ships, motioned for The_j to follow, and flew off.

The arm had finished regenerating most of its master. As he sat there wheezing, the spambot general started healing over, wounds closing over. He started walking off into space, looking for his army. He never needed air, and was affected by temperature.

Ash was feeling quite happy, for a very long time. He had managed to hijack a spacecraft and was headed off. He couldn't find Techno, but with the right time and place, Techno would find him for sure.

Techno had found a good place. The landscape itself was wonderful, though Spirit had kept his eyes shut most of the time, as Techno had an unusual tendency to fly just a bit too close to mountains, and he was afraid they'd crash. In that crowded space, Spirit could not have activated his conduit powers and done anything. He would have most likely asphyxiated nearly everyone if he did.

This was a very nice place Techno had parked at. He did it since he thought that everyone needed a break, which was, admittedly, not that far off the mark. There was a mountain int he far distance that nearly no-one could normally see without a pair of binoculars. Techno pointed out the faint outline and told Spirit that that was a good place to set up. Once Spirit had found the binoculars and could only just make out the mountain in front, he asked when they'd get there. Techno replied "When it's time". In the meantime, Techno allowed everyone to enjoy the undulating plains, and the wind that blew every so often along the cliff-top. It was a lovely change of scenery that differentiated from that inside the bunker.

Techno ushered everyone in, when it began to rain. Techno had added a 'carriage' to the end of his transport, and nearly everyone piled in. Spirit jumped into the co-pilot's seat as it began to hail. As the hail grew in size, Techno looked up, then shut the cabin door. It may not have been a bad thing, as the hail grew in size and began crashing down on anything left outside. Techno fired up the engines, and flew over the land, since travelling straight through the air was not a good idea at the moment. Techno stopped when he reached the mountain pass. Then he took his transport straight up. A large station blossomed into view, and Techno piloted his transport into the bay, telling the_j to do the same. Inside the orbit station was a much more different story than outside. Where it looked like the station was held together by scrap, and little more outside, it looked like it had always been built the way it was inside. While everyone was exploring Techno vanished up the elevator and started turning on engines. Once the engines had turned on, Techno turned on the power, and let everything come to life.

Spirit watched as lines of light flowed along the floor, walls and ceiling. As everything lit up, a generator hummed to life, and what Spirit had assumed to be a crate unfolded, and started unpacking actual crates. Spirit watched as the windows opened and he could barely see something outside. What he could see was a lot of rain, and it flowed everywhere. It ran down the river below in huge torrents, washing into the sea.

Techno sat back in his room. He hadn't been here for a while, and everything was still as clean as it had been earlier. Techno then left everyone to their own devices and went upstairs. Everyone needed some form of identification, and so long as they kept it on their person, they would be able to open doors.

Liara put the bundle on a table. The table dipped slightly , before resuming its normal height. As she unwrapped the bundle, she saw something glitn below, and upon completely unwrapping it, she could see two gauntlets that appeared to have been made of stone. Experimentally, she tried them on, and jumped when they turned out to be far lighter than she expected.

Kamehameha opened her package. Her one was also wrapped in cloth, but of a different colour. Instead of a mottled Grey, it was the same colouration as the mud outside. She opened it and saw a shoulder-mounted cannon. There was no ammunition, but she figured that she'd be able to make it work. surprisingly, there was also nothing to detonate the explosive charge, but she could always ask Techno later.

Spirit tripped over a box that was lying in front of what he had designated to be his room. He still had one of the firebirds on his shoulder, but it was less energetic than usually, after getting wet. Of course, it still refused to budge. He picked up the box and almost dropped it when the lid fell off, revealing something that glinted orange. Putting the box down, and pulling off the lid entirely, Spirit could see an empty scabbard. It was made of an orange metal, and he picked it up. Spirit experimentally tried to slip his sword in, and was not too surprised to find that they fitted perfectly.

GPuzzle was having the time of his life. He had an even larger source of explosives, and choices of weaponry, and he had the tools to make more. He also had a room that he was actually allowed to blow up at will.

OOC: New Bunker. :3

|Nice. Self sustaining?|
Ooh, now I have a Sword of Fire to add to my collection! I wonder if they'll work together?
*Pulls a White sword out of his white scabbard and holds both swords up, Orange bursts into flames, the room gets colder*
Yup.

|Ah, well that makes sense. Time for me to get involved :p|
Bella walked across the plains of üruth-baen, the sword of air hanging from his belt. On the opposite side of his belt hung the sword of earth. Both safe and sound from any misuse. His journey would be complete upon the recovery of the swords of fire and water. Suddenly he felt a pain in his head and saw a man varying both of them. A collector he imagined. It seemed that they were both intent on uniting the swords. But only one of them could complete their goal.

|Whelp, now Bella knows where you are. This should be interesting. Also, considering that your swords cancel eachother's powers out I suppose my character has the better blades :p|

|Well, we're talking about the secrets of the immortal Nicholas Flamel series, but since you clearly haven't read it I'll give you the mythological explanation. Clarent and Excalibur are swords forged in dragon fire which gives them the powers of sowrfire and water(in that order.), they are held by king Arthur and Mordred (also in that order.). The swords of air and earth(who's names I forget) I believe are mythological Japanese blades held by samarai and used to kill dragons and other beasts of Japanese lore.|

This is turning into the Saints Row franchise: More and more ridiculous and over-the-top.

I mean, it's not bad, but we're steering to the point the apocalypse doesn't matter anymore because we're not being attacked.
I don't care that we will win every damn time if we want.
I just want this to be the apocalypse it was supposed to be.
When was the last time we were attacked?

Sigh. Fine, tentacle raping robots attack our building site. What will we do now? Who will defend our women against the evils of tentacle rape?

Can we please be rid of the irrelevant BS such as these goddamn swords and whatever (Whizz, this is the second goddamn time, and I would seriously consider calling a vote to have you disbarred if we have to make a third thread) and just have an RP without all that? It's one of the reasons I haven't started on this one. It's one of the reasons I got angry at the last one.
