h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*Craxus reachs behind his back and pulls out another set of Tribarrel Handguns.*

Thank you Terran I was wondering when you were going to show up.

* MaW casually projects infra-red rays at Marshal's weapons, turning them into dripping useless lumps of stuff *

And if you don't, I might see what happens when I do the same thing to your head.

No problem, now we just have to wait for Marshall to recover from the shock. Are there any visible exits?

*Craxus looks around.*

I guess so since Marshal came rushing in here at me. Oh and btw i found some very useful info when i was hacking their systems. I was scanning the research area and found out that they have MECH'S! There stored in some hanger i suggest we takes these two *points at Marshal and Ranmafreak.* with us. Later we could interogate them. And just walk out with the mechs, guns a blazing ya know.

::Wakes up to find his face bleeding, and the rebels engaged in a fight, pulls out guns and fires a few rounds into craxus's shoulder while he is distracted with looking for an exit::

~scene: the garage~ *Intelligence Director Isard's limo floats in and lands next to a small military transport. Isard exits his limo wearing his silver on black combat armor (Mandalorian). He walks towards the transport.*

*two technitians exit the transport and open the troop hold. 4 shiney sliver robots 3 meters tall stand there.*

tech 1: as requested sir, 4 mark X combat droids. They have heavy armor, shields that reinforce each other and can block against both physical and energy attacks. Unfortunately the recent events have prevented new shield shipments from arriving, so they only block high-velocity attacks like bullets and rockets, enemies can still walk through them.

I.D. Isard: oh well, the armament?

tech 2: each possesses 1 medium range plasma gatling gun (similar to the P-90 and Desert Eagle that Isard uses, only firing much faster), 2 vibro-swords one on each hand, and rockets behind the chest armor with high-explosive, armor peircing, incendiary, stun gas, or nerve gas warheads.

I.D. Isard: most excellent, return to your base and keep up the good work, you'll be getting big bonuses this year.

*the techs get back in their transport and order the droids to exit, they do, and the techs leave.*

*Isard walks up to each droid and slips their programming crystles into their crystle ports, their arms jerk and they come alive*

droids (always speaking in unison): orders?

I.D. Isard: gaurd me, shields up, anything tries to enter the shield other than me, kill it.

droids: aye sir

*Isard (in center of the 2 in front/2 in back formation) and the droids walk to the loading doors at the end of the garage and stop befor them*

I.D. Isard: open up!

computer: Code red! no admitence!

I.D. Isard: command code bunny rabit, computer, open the doors.

computer: Command code accepted, enjoy your tour of the factory

*Isard grunted and the formation moved forward. they walk down the hall, all the time Isard examines an overlay of the defense sytem analysis and and the scematics and the heat sensors. the formation walks to the elevator closest to the largest formation of heat seignatures and they begin their desent.

*Craxus just being shot at gets a lil pissed.*

Why you..............

*Craxus kicks Ranmafreak's guns out of his hands, and pops him 2 in the arms (shoots 2 bullets into Ranmafreaks arms.*

Uhhg..
::Falls to the ground, unconscious due to blood loss::

-----Systems Register Security Breach-----
*Panels in the floor slide away, as small turrets pop up in each corner of the room.*
-----Activating Auto-Guns-----

*Craxus swings around firing many shots into the auto gun turrets. Craxus moves as quick as he can to get close enough to deploy a thermal gernade. Craxus was successful in doing so and places it in the panel.*

Everyone take cover....

*An explosion occurs destroying the turret.*

Well i'm glad thats finished. I hope you people don't mind but i'm going to go sit over there in a corner. I think i got shot up a couple of times.

*Craxus looks at his imperial plasteel chest plate and notices just about 50 bullet holes in it (and thats just on his chest.)*

~scene: room with several people in it (example: Craxus, Jade, Ramnafreak [sp?])~ *Large doors on one of the walls trundle open, to reveal 4 large shiney droids with really big guns pointed towards the people in the room.*

Intelligence Director Isard (voice ampliphied and spoken by the droids aswell as himself): Drop your weapons now!

(the Intelligence Director is wearing silver armor on a black single-peice jumpsuit and none can see his face as it is hidden by a silver and black mask).

*as though to emphisize his point the droids began to spin the barrels of their gatling guns, making an eerie whistling noise that makes the hairs on everyones' bodies stand on end, even Isard's.*

*Craxus bleeding in various spots some how manages to move over to the computer terminal. Craxus puts his jack port plug in the computer terminal. Craxus begins to hack the systems looking for various clues to help him and his fellow comrades against these "droids." He searchs the systems and finds a gun turret next to droids not activated. Craxus activates it and shouts.*

Suck on this!

*Moments later the gun turret pops out and shoots at the droids. Craxus falls down and begins to cough up some blood.*

::still unconscious::
Just so you know, My name is Agent Zopyhk

ahhh good to know

*a gun turret pops up next to the left forward droid and beggins to shoot bullets at it. The bullets bounce off the armor and begin to ricochette around the room, some even bounce into and then off of Isard's armor.*

I.D. Isard: command code blue squirrel, computer shut down auto defense gun 123-2-45

computer: authorization confirmed

*the gun stops firing*

I.D. Isard: command code alpha olaphont do not accept further commands from jack ports. Use lethal force to punish any who try.

computer: authorization confirmed

I.D. Isard: drop all your weapons in three seconds or I will release morphazine gas into the air and you will all be rendered unconcouis.

* 2 inch diameter rocket ports iris open on the chests of the 4 droids, the green and white painted nose-cones of gas bearing rockets can be seen whithin.*

I.D. Isard: 3...

I.D. Isard: 2...

I.D. Isard:...1, droids release gas.

*Isard grins behind his mask, and the replicator right infront of his mouth pops a mini-doughnut hole into his mouth, a man's gotta have his doughnuts.*

*the droids fir a total of 2 rockets each, upon entering the room they begin to release a trail of invisible gas (from which half a breath would put an elephant down for 6 hours) before hitting the far wall, exploding, and thus releasing the rest of their aerosol cargo into the air for all to breath.*

(as an after thought)I.D. Isard: command code omega donkey computer close and seal all doors for 20 meters in all directions within this level, except door 23 [the door in between him and the rest]

computer: authorization accepted

* the doors close*

*Craxus wakes just enough to talk to Daedalus.*

Daedalus can you over all voice protocols from Isard? I'll do my best with my own hacking...

*In the confusion, Marshal was able to get to cover. He listens to the gun ports blaze on. He wonders how he can get out. Then remembers the polymorphine... He injects it into his system, then once the change is complete, find some more suitable clothing...

A few moments later, Craxus spots movement behind a pile of crates. A young woman, no older than 17-18, is cowering from the auto-defence fire.*
