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

Well... there's no one saying it /can't/ be part of the quest... Just he won't know any of you, and will have to create a second character to deal with DM Inc.

Back for a bit. I assume it was a quiet weekend - unless something happened on a thread I missed?

Rather quiet. You've still got the nanoprobes, and I estimate four hours before the Gov. gets your location.

OK. Nice fish, by the way

Okay, so scratch the duckman thing. Shall we try and move him then? Haven't we got anywhere to take him?

Well, in about ten minutes, you're gonna have to be on the run. Daedalus can scan for whatever you want. A powerful resouce, if I'm any judge.

D, find me a cave, or a sound studio, or anything with really really thick walls. Quickly. Please.

[Daedalus] It seems you have a few options. First, you could take the TAFS Hootoo, as water is some of the best sheilding possible. Second, the dimensional anomolies created by the construction of the Castle Anthrax leads for massive distortions, so that could work. Your last option would be running, or heading underground.

Hmm. We haven't been to the Castle yet..


Should we decant to the Observatory? That's the weirdest place I know of.

Or, hang on, Daedalus, what about the Forest?

*Suddenly, the anarchists hear what sounds like the clinking of spurs, slowly and methodicaly moving down the hall and towards the door. A man appears there, wearing loose black clothes and a black trench coat. His face is obscured in shadows (and more). He has a Thompson sub-machine gun pointed at Craxus's chest. This Thompson is unlike any others, this one is chain fed.*

Surrender yourselves imediately.

[Daedalus] The forest is properly accentric... and who are you? What are you doing in here? I did order a pizza...

Here's the setting. Its a medium-small room, about fourty feet, square, with three medical beds layed out inside the room, and a few thick sofas (for hiding behind). In addition, the anarchists have complete access to their arsenals. I'll keep giving updates to this, just ask!

*a ceiling tile is cautiously lifted up an inch*

Oh, boy. Someone's going to get _cheesed_

*Having not seen any surrendering, Isard opens fire*

*ducks*

*puts fingers in ears*

Tch. No panache, some people.

*rolls a smoke grenade into the room*

*throws duck at Isard*

It's actually a plastic rubber duck stun grenade

*Sees smoke and pulls on breathing mask (it's a medical facility, there'll be one somewhere within reach*

*Craxus puts on a rebreather.*

It wasn't a smart idea to attack the med bay. You fools! You all are going to DIE!!!!

*Craxus dives for the ground pulls out his 2 Hellsing 35kg. Handgun - 13mm Phosphorus-Tipped Shells and shoots a couple rounds at Isard.*

*Craxus jumps over the med bed and swings his arm over towards Queex, and fires 4 rounds at Queex's chest.*

So do we stay here or do we leg it? Personally, I'm in favour of trying to run, but since I'm the one with the nanoprobes that's probably understandable

*Looks over the sofa, fires two shots in the general direction of Queex*

Daedalus, any suggestions?

*Lobs another stun duck for good measure*

*Queex disappears into the ceiling. The four rounds send little puffs of dust downwards. There is a crash and Queex falls into the middle of the floor*

This suit was new! Can't a man watch a little firefight without catching a stray?

*Craxus tips over the med bed to give him some cover.*
