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

Remain with only terranic tech, please. Its only fair to the others. Just use your environment!

*Jade appears about 200 feet behind Isard, and hides behind a tree, watching him*

I'll remain with terranic tech, and that means Craxus will be too. In that light, away go his tri-barrel guns, as they are both gauss and from a different universe (the Andromeda universe)

*Feeling like he is being watched (as his helmet sensors told him so) Isard drops a white smoke grenade, and white smoke springs up and out for about 30 feet. Now feeling somewhat less observable, Isard springs into a tree and begins to leave the general area.*

*Skullock appears on the shore.*

Ah, the sent of destruction is in the air!

*the ship colapses onto the ground and busts into a large heap of flame then suddenly explodes.*

*A large piece of the deck plating comes to a hault just in front of Skullock.*

HAHA!

*Skullock begins to walk about the debris.*

*Isard, hearing an incredibly large explosion, turns amidst his fleeing from Jade and spots Skullock, laughing and walking. Isard loads a glop grenade into his launcher and fires it at Skullok's feet. The grenade hits only 4 feet away from him and a large ball of very sticky, very rubbery, very difficult to break...well......glop starts spreading out, approaching Skullock very quickly.*

before anyone complains, I saw this on a History Channel special on "Less Lethal" weaponry and tech. The name "glop grenade" (which is from Star Wars) was the only name I could remember it by, so if the US has it in an experimental stage, I think it is safe to say that Terrania (which has, or rather had, and awesome AI) could have perfected it.

*quickens pace all the while wondering is glop is flamible*

chemically speaking, anything burns if it gets hot enough, but in the realm of reasonable tech and not expending too much effort, no it doesn't

Dang! There goes my #1 escape plan

*suddenly a large flaming piece of debris drops down between Skullock and the glop.*

*Jumps forward away from debris*

I'm sure you can come up with some sneaky and or flashy way of exiting without the glop

*Isard, realizing that at this long range he cannot logically expect his grenade launcher to be very accurate, holsters it and continues to run from Jade, whom he is not sre is actually pursuing, but is suffeciently edgy to not risk it.*

*Realising that, in the hullabaloo, no-one has spotted him, fires three mortar shells at different targets in the base in quick succession, then strips down his weapon and mves to a different location*

*One shell crashes down on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier*

I'll leave it up to you, Myst, to determine the damage caused.

This place is going to hell in a hand basket. Maybe I should consider a new line of work. *Thinks Isard as he hears three explosions and is still running away from Jade.*

*The aircraft carrier shutters, and a meduim sized hole appears where the shell hit. Elevators carrying helecoptors, 'Helios' class, rise up. The helecopters prepare to launch.*

*The rotors and jump-jets hum to life, and five helios helecopters flare into the air.*

[Alpha One] This is Alpha leader, we have visual on the target, over. Going in for the first run...

*The Helios swoop over Skullock, spraying cannon fire, wheel about, and head towards Jade.*

[Radio]: Jade, I'm out of ammunition. I'm off back to base. The solar plant's doors are open, I knocked them out with a mortar round. Grab Craxus and Fred and rock and roll, if you fancy.

*has leaps up into a tree to avoid the smoke, and can see fairly clearly the direction Isard is going. She is angry with him, oh yes. And she is going for the "kill". ...Or at least, if nothing else, the "embarass heavily and force him to get down on all fours like the dog he is and plead, no, beg, for mercy."*

re;Radio: Gotcha, Euan-babes. I'm cool, I just have to dodge out from some helios... I'm Goin' after the big , if you catch my meaning. See you back at base. Save me a , right? *She turns off the radio, leaps lithely out of the tree, and proceeds to persue Isard on silent... well if she had wings, it would be wings. But since she doesn't she's just... walking really really quietly. And gracefully. Yeah. Ye ken well what I mean...!*

*Isard's helmet sensors show a very silent and stealthy approaching him with great speed. He turns, gets out his full auto .50 cal Desert Eagle and fires at the branches between Him and this approaching person, shooting all of the branches off for at least 10 meters between the two. This done, he doubles his speed and stealthyness as he weaves his way away from Jade.*

*Jade lithely dodges the vast majority bullets in a devastating display of matrix-ish prowess. One of them, however, hits her in the region of her left shoulder. She curses and half-glances at the rapidly spreading stain of scarlet, but then ignores it. She has bigger to fry, really. She leaps out of the tree and runs after Isard, catching up to him so hat she is only roughly two feet behind him. She then launches herself at his back, grabbing on tightly to his shoulders with her arms, and then deftly wrapping her legs about his midsection (which makes it look rather comical, as if Isard is giving Jade a piggyback ride.. Her proverbial kitty claws beared, she scratches and tears and generally menaces him in the general direction of his face.*

Mwahahahahahahaaaaaaa.

Isard wheres a helmet/facemask combo.

*Isard runs into a clearing and sticks out his right arm so that it is stright, a black wand pops into his hand, he waves it and says something in a different langauge, the general area for about 30 meters tints slightly lavander. This done, the wand slips back down to where-ever it had come from.*

No more majic or teleportation here for about three weeks! You can only leave on foot or by aide of a vehicle.

*Having said this, Isard starts to fall on his back, intending to knock the wind out of Jade.*

*Jade lets go, falls to the ground in a croucing position, anen pops back up into astanding position, calmly sliding a fe paces back so that Isard can fall back on the ground. Without a Jade-shaped pillow. (I'm an elf, I can do that sort of thing.)*

Yeah okay so you have armour. but that doesn't mean I still can't claw at it. Which I did.
