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.

I don't know Liara... I think tentacle raping robots are quite relevant to the current problem. We may need your help in defending the women :p of course this raises the question of why the hell we didn't train the womn to fight or give them rape whistles.

It was a Joke Liara :p in all seriousness though, to keep on the subject at hand and because as game master I can, I say that a group of class-7 armored spambots. Their armor cancels out all magical effects meaning the swords will not work.

What? I'm just collecting... No. Techno gave me Clarent. I already had Excalibur. Do you think I store all my stuff in my Pocket?

OOC: WOAH. Hold your horses. I gave you a sword that burst into fire, I did not give you Clarent. Also, that particular blade is still very much breakable, thank you very much. It's just a lot more responsive to fire, and energy, not in that order.
|Nice. Self sustaining?|
The sword of Fire... Clarent. I have been waiting for this all my life.
*Pulls out Excalibur and puts it on a table beside him*
Thank you, pocket dimension!
Just 2 more to find, and the collection will be complete.
\Just before the swords were fused, they made duplicates of themselves so that they could live on with another story./
*Clarent and Excalibur push away from each other, as if they were magnets*
Typical.

OOC: Other than food, yes. :p
This is turning into the Saints Row franchise: More and more ridiculous and over-the-top.
I'll see what I can do. ;)

That's a good idea, actually. Maybe class -8s are blast proof, and class-9s are immune to overload?

Spirit was surprised to find that food was no sustainable as of the moment. Then again, Spirit had never seen Techno actually eat very much, if at all. What was interesting, though, was that there was a kitchen. However, what looked like it was supposed to be a stove/oven of some sort was covered in knobs, gauges and a lever. Spirit had made up his mind to go upstairs and ask Techno when Techno bolted down the stairs, opened several cupboards, pulled a cast from one, put some metals in one, and put it into a small oven-like device built into the wall. He turned a valve, and waited as the dusts inside the pan, burnt, congealed, and melted. He took it out and plopped it dangerously close to Spirit's feet. Once it had dried, Techno shook it out of the mould, and put the mould back into a cupboard. Techno ran his paw along the length of the resulting blade. When he was satisfied by the amount of metal that came off, he put the piece of metal on an electrified rack.

A Class-7 turtle was watchign this with mild interest. It was stuck outside, but that did not mean that it could not survey.

|Getting rid of the names, it's a waste of time anyway. Can't figure out anything to do with them...|
|Done. They are now just a regular Ice sword and Fire sword.|
This place doesn't sustain food? Oh, what am I going to do?
I know. Build a separate part of the facility that does!
*whirring outside*
Hmm?
*whirring grows louder*
*Goes outside*
What? More Spambots?
*Runs inside, presses the alert button, takes the swords*
Spambots!

"Hello Kameh."

Technician stood in large room, the floor a beautiful hardwood and the walls a glowing gold with a wallpaper depicting Ragnarok. A long table sat in the middle of the room, Kamehameha sat at the opposite side.

"Are we on a nickname basis now, Technician?" The spambot leader said, smiling.

"Yes, I think we are."

Kameh gestured his hand. "Sit please, there is a cooler beside you. I know you like vitamin water and smoothies but make do with regular water."
Technician sat down, most would worry the water was poisoned but Technician knew Kamehameha didn't want him dead, at least not yet. Tech reached down and grabbed a water bottle. "I like your wallpaper."

"Yes, Ragnarok is a great human invention. Many people did not believe their gods would die but I think the Norse were primitive, yet advanced in a way. They knew death well, and accepted that even the wise and strong Odin would one day be eaten by a wolf."

Technician made a note about Kamehameha and his knowing of Ragnarok. "Human invention? You presume that there is no higher power?"
"And you, the genius Technician presume there is one? Humph."

"I keep my mind open, Kam. Their stories had things that all stories have. Humanity amassed them, TVTropes, the website was called. I am Jormungandr and you are Thor. I am Moriarty and you are Holmes. I am Mordred and you are Arthur. Technician withdrew a USB port and placed it on the table, took a giant gulp of his water.

"Ah, trading time is it? I thought we were having a chat. At any rate, I presume that that is it?" He spat the last word.
"Yes, it is. Now where is my- Ah." Kameh placed a bronze coloured cylinder on the table.
"A copy of their original prototype. I doubt it will work the same but a strike force is attacking them now, soon to retrieve it."

Technician paused, guessing how many units it would take to get them.

"If you could spare Techno that would be lovely. Besides me and you, Techno is the only person who is remotely smart on this entire planet."

"They are all dull aren't they? You are smart though, Technician. More intelligent than even me perhaps, but that is your weakness."
"Elaborate, please. I love learning."
"You are broken in a way, I think. A mutation. Your mind processes in a very interesting and efficient way, and you sleep a very long time. Thirteen hours, on average, one prisoner told us."
"Drawing connections."
"Yes." He slid the USB port to Kamehameha, who slid the cylinder to Technician.

"Goodbye, dearest Kameh. And if your spambots lose to that group, tell them I shall be in England. I need a monocle."

OOC: Tech, you realise what a USB Port is, right? It's that hole where you plug your USB thingies in. You want a USB Stick (Flash Drive) :p

Tech was in a room that did not exist. He frequented this place to think, where he would not be disturbed. As he sat in the clearing, he watched the times unfold before him. And he watched as he saw the things that had happen, were happening and were to happen, all in a single instant. He always saw things like that, whenever he sat down, concentrated and concentrated on a single point. This room shared a link to the box he had in the back of his transport. Techno sat up, and walked over to a stone circle on the ground. As he sat there, raw, unfiltered energy lit itself up around him. It was time to bring a lot of help into this game, and whichever side they chose, they were more than welcome to it.

Ash absorbed the terror she could feel emanating from the terrified people. She revelled in it. Ignoring their pleas, she swooped, consuming them. The men tried to block the horror of their comrades being consumed, but their hands could not stop the flood of flesh-eating beetles. Ash had found her enemy's foe. It was time to help them. Ash had earned a degree in engineering when she was younger. It was time to put that to use.

Techno walked out of the room with a smile on his snout. As he left, the stones flew up into the air, and began to rotate in a circle.

Spirit was waiting for his pie to cook. Techno had shown him the basics of the stove and oven, and it was actually deceptively simple. He was watching when he was bowled over by a silver streak. Picking himself off the floor, Spirit gave a glance at where the streak had gone, but there was nothing there. Then, the ground shook as Techno preparing for orbit. A loud humming resonated for a moment, then faded. Then, without warning, everyone was pressed to the floor as the station shot up. The lonely spy outside did not expect the entire structure to shoot upward with an incredible velocity, and was taken unawares, being hit by the wing, and crashing into the ground, to be pummeled with dreadful power.

What on earth is happening?
*attempts to stand up*
There we go.
*falls over again*
I'm going to find a seat.
*over intercom* Wait, why are we going to space? Escaping the Spambots?

OOC: What's to say Lycanthropy is a disease? ;) I find it more of an evolutionary thing, but I don't always go by the classical description. :p Oh, and can someone please compile everything into a story? :p I want to put it into the TS description some time. ;)

The villagers were surprisingly easy to convince. Ash sat back and admired her handiwork. She had secretly enraged them, changing their minds in such a way so that they would blame the conduits for everything. Posing as a lady from another kingdom, Ash was good at her propaganda.

Techno checked their speed. They were not going to clear orbit fast enough. There was a few options, but he chose the simplest. He walked to the engine room, logged in, shut the door, and flooded as much energy as he dared output straight into the engines. The hum became a whine, and all the lights instantly shut off. Everyone else was left in pitch darkness.

Outside, a class 4 spambot was attempting to find a way through the defences. Being more expendable meant they were cheaper to deploy. It was busily working on its task when most of the defences suddenly vanished. having finished its objective, it prepared to report, when electricity shuddered outside the hull. The spambot, having never been equipped to be able to deal with extreme voltages exploded, as the massive structure shook, then flew faster. Techno struggled to get up. He had spent most of his energy flooding the engines, which, for their age, proved surprisingly reliable, and ignored all voltages. As the lights came back on, Techno vanished, for no apparent reason.

I was assuming Whiz meant infection. I usually go with evolutionary as well.

Also, LOL CHEAPER TO DEPLOY HALF THE WORLD IS SCRAP TECHNOLOGY LOL.

Tech, I just figured out where your name comes from: Kamehameha is the leader of a Polynesian island! I don't know the name.[DOUBLEPOST=1377386028][/DOUBLEPOST]Hawaii.

Sure Whizz... And not the anime which is described in TVTropes as the Trope Codifier for Shonen.
Dude, where do you think the incredibly overused "IT'S OVER 9000!" comes from?
Of course, it takes a few minutes and Facebook to find where the hell does that come from.

I didn't even think of searching until I was looking at the Civ 5 wiki and one of the new Civilisations in Brave New World was Polynesian, led by Kamehameha. And so I think, "What does that remind me of...? Technician!"
I know about TVTropes. I occasionally take reading streaks on the thing. Just searched Over 9000. I found it's from... blech... Dragon Ball Z.

You sir, get the golden medal of the interwebs. Or you can be king of the tentacle rape robots. Your choice.

I'm fine with it being there, as long as you don't, well... If I tell you what I don't want you to do, then you'll probably do it.
