Dark Power - GROUP TELEPATHY MESSAGES - ALL READ!

Admin Fri Nov 11 2011, 00:09

OOC Whenever you wish to send a 'group message' to other Vanguardians with the Dark Power (all player characters in other words, aside from Lionheart) post in here so you don't have to post in each and every individual thread (because sometimes there's half a dozen or so different threads going on).

ooc: Don't expect this to get to Frostbite but since he doesn't know where he is, Anyman will try anyway. But then again ... since we don't seem to have selective TP messaging, everyone will get it who is on the "party line" as they used to call it in the old days when multiple homes were connected to the same phone line and had to share.

"Hang on, let me see if I can contact Frostbite," he tells the others. "He could probably take ou the Skrall with that mechanical brain thing power of his while we concentrate on the Qrii."

"Frostbite, can you hear me? THis is Anyman. I need you to come take out an invasion fleet for me while I take out the other one," he mentally sends. "I need to take out the Qrii and you seem the best man for the job to take out the Skrall."

OOC: I don't know whether I hear this or not, but what you need from me is already in your possession - i.e. Frostbot stayed behind with Boudica (we think haven't checked the thread but I think he remained behind at Bletechly) in his Robot body, which he seems to enjoy taking about. So if its a question of getting him to come aboard then it might be possible to get him to where you are in order to get him to infiltrate the ships. He might as well be operated by Paul as a NPC.

If on the other hand you need me to come, then that is a different matter and the answer is I can't. Elesieth has been kidnapped as has Morganna and without them the land will be subject to evil full stop. (also the fact the grail isn't here might mean that whatever it did it cannot do, whilst its out of the country so to speak).

Sorry mate, Paul has got us stretched so thin, we're all practically intangible at this point.

I knew Frostbite was out of reality but didn't know Frostbot was left behind. I guess the general can inform Anyman of that. I was rather hoping to use the computer to hack into the Skrall fleet and reprogram them all to our side. alien

OOC I need to check the thread but I'm pretty sure Frostbot was on the same ship as Spartan - currently heading back to Bletchley park whilst Anyman is in space with his new ship (the third he's captured. One would think he is trying to start a used spaceship franchise). Because Frostbite is in another reality (the land of Albion) the Frostbot can act independently in the robot body he's using. Therefore...

"This is Wynn here." harrumphs the old General. "You fellows will be the death of me, I swear! I'll get word to Spartan and have the ship turn about, meet you in orbit where you can pick up Frostbites mechanical friend. All this about invasion fleets though, and with the team so spread out? It wouldn't surprise me if a plague of locusts came hopping through the door. It's about the only biblical level disaster we haven't had to deal with so far this week, and it's only Tuesday."

DavidMcMahon Thu Nov 17 2011, 12:32

"General and whoever else can hear me, this is Anyman," Lance pulses out. "I just managed to make history by being the first human to get Earth involved in an interstellar space war. Medals and knighthood as thanks can come later. I got the Qrii and the Skrall fighting each other. Most of the fight should be around Jupiter, from what our allies tell me. So if you want to have Astronomers point telescopes out that way, be my guest. The Qrii have launched some kind of biological missle at North America. The Skrall are trying to intercept it but if they don't ...."

"You might want to have the PM contact the Canadians and Americans and let them know about it."

"Meanwhile, more good news! A whole lot of unidentified ships are now zooming into our system and will probably join in the fight. The HMRS Anyman is rocketing down to get Frostbot up here soonest. I hope to use him to override the Skrall programming and take over their ships. Or at least as many as he can manage and use them in the fight. The P'utarnarians believe we can handle the fragment of the Skrall fleet heading towards us."

"I'm going to try to bluff and intimidate all the newcomers to attack one another and then we can pick up the pieces. I will probably have to use the Dark Powers to teleport from ship to ship and then head for their engine rooms to have them overload and blow up once we really get involved in the fight. That's the current plan at least. If there is anyone else free who can use the Dark Powers to do the same, might be of help if we had them up here."

Admin Fri Nov 18 2011, 01:48

Wynn replied, groaning. "We've enough on our plate! Reports are coming in that an airfield near Dover has just been hit by Nazis with jetpacks, and that a superhuman is tossing our people around like rag dolls. As for the rest, our boys are doing surprisingly well. The Nazis hadn't figured on those contraptions they strapped to their planes making the things devilish hard to fly and we've had reports of them clattering into each other, smashing into the floor and even falling to pieces. They'll wise up though. Sounds like you have your hands full Allard, but do what you can about getting the V-Ships back. And yes, you're due a bloody medal. God knows you all are. Will let the PM know to contact the Yanks and Canucks, but they are still sitting on their bloody hands for the most part, though we have more and more Canadians arriving each day. The rest of what you say... well, there's a few problems. One of the new lads, Sky Eagle, is in France trying to save De Gaulle before he's captured or killed. Frostbite and Sentinel are ... somewhere else, but say they will be back soon hopefully, and Lionheart is still locked away in the bloody space ship, as if we don't have enough going on!"

There was a sigh, then the General added "Lance, I'm going to have to turn out more supers. I am getting pressure from all sides to do it, and don't have much left in me. You and Frostbite will have to hold it all together if... if something happens. Do your best son. I know you have the 'bigger picture' to deal with but it's hard to look to the stars when you're front garden is being bombed, know what I mean?"

"Keep us updated."

OOC everyone hears this - including Frostbite and Silver Sentinel, though it's 'quiet' and sounds as if from far away.

He looked about, and with a gesture fired a ray at the floor. He frowned. "Remarkable." he said again. "I am trying to undo what you have done, and my ability to rearrange matter molecules at the subatomic level is being thwarted! Your power is... impressive. Join us! If not..."

He let the words fall away, then sighed. "No more threats. No more battle. I offer this. Let us take half the Lunarium this day and depart as neither friend nor foe. Your fate will soon be sealed, and I would not work to hasten your demise. Yes, I believe I could defeat you, but I am unsure whether what followed could truly be termed a victory for anyone that somehow kills you. I make the offer fairly, once. If you refuse, we fight, and I tell you this. We will take the Lunarium and this ship - and all on her - WILL be destroyed, regardless of whom walks away."
.

"God I hope this works," Lt. Cmdr Lance Allard aka Anyman aka Putty aka Dark Thingie thinks through the telepathic link he shares with a small number of people. "Listen up Putty and Dark Prince, I want you to release all your powers and take out these guys and their ship IF and I say again IF, they attack me after what I'm about to do happens. I know it will mean my death and the death of our allies but I think in the long run it is worth it. If you can save our allies, please do so."

He continuously speaks to the Imperator while also thinking back to everyone what he says.

"No more threats," Lance agrees. "The time for that is past. And hopefully no more battle. So let me just tell you a little about myself and then you decide what will happen. After I speak, I will allow you to read my mind without guards, except for a certain "deadman's switch" I have placed in myself to go off if you or anyone attacks me. That way you will know I speak the truth."

"You only ... defeated ... me because I held back too long. There are three of us inside this body. One is a time traveller from the future who is trying to put our universe right but I think has failed and is now trying to put it "better". His name is Putty and he has no memory of what his real name is."

"The other being, the one that can kick your butt and your entire crews' butt, is called a Shadow Demon. He is not just any old Shadow Demon but one of its rulers of its entire dimension. Whether that makes him a prince or a king under an emperor, I don't know. I want you to understand something, this Dark Prince of the Shadow Demons is so powerful he can probably destroy the rings of Saturn, the big planet that we fought near, in just a few moments. I do not know if he has a name or if I could even pronounce if he does. He is here on this plane of existence to stop his people from taking over our universe and killing ALL OF US!"

"And then there's me, Lance Allard aka Anyman, ordinary human gifted with these abilities because of the two inside me. Take them out of me and I become human again and will die of the cancer that is inside me due to my mistake of handling the Red Lunarium without first making sure I took on the power to not be affected by radiation. I only allow a trickle of power from the Demon Prince to manifest itself, to keep from burning myself out and destroying huge areas of land when it goes out of control. That's what I did with your crew, used that trickle of power."

"You said you told your crew not to kill those on this vessel, yet I read the mind of one and they did kill. You call youselves the Star Guard, yet what do you guard? You guarded nothing today, you steal. The evidence stands right there. You are actually the Star Thieves and try to hide this fact behind a noble name and stance, yet a theif is still just a theif."

"I'm fighting a war on my planet. A war between nations over the right to exist as free peoples and races. In the "proper" future that Putty tells me about, we only fought the others and there were no superpowered people on either side and no aliens showed up for decades. But now, with other future men aiding the side of the Nazis, an evil nation bent on conquering the world and killing everyone not of their race, the "proper" timeline has been changed. And other demons from the Shadow Realm that the Dark Prince inside of me is fighting to keep them out of our dimension. And now I'm fighting aliens who think it is proper to steal from someone because you want what they have and you think that they can't stop you."

He pauses and looks around at everyone, most of whom are on the floor with their powers drained.

"Well ... you are wrong. You are wrong morally. You are wrong ethically. You are wrong thinking we are weak. We are not weak, we have been showing compassion! And I'm getting damned tire of being compassionate!!"

"Look around you," he waves his hand dramatically, "this is what I did with only a TRICKLE of power from the Dark Prince! I can and I will stop YOU ... IF! you make me!"

He does a dramatic pause agaiin.

"It will cost me my life but you and your ship and your people ... and my allies will all die in order to stop you. I won't have your Empire coming round here to try to "bomb us out of existence" as I got from that one's thoughts or force us to be a slave race for your Empire. We are a free and powerful people."

"And you know what happens after I die? Putty and the Demon Prince go back to Earth, pick a new host, and a new powerful person who can destroy a couple of fleets and wipe out the best of the so-called Star Guard is born. Just like I did with just a TRICKLE of SHADOW DEMON POWER! One who can die and wipe out every fleet you send to us! And then another will be born and then another and then another. We have more people than you have fleets ... or planets."

"Oh, and one other thing. I'm not the only one on my planet with these powers currently. With these Shadow Princes inside them. There are a number of us, some of whom you can't detect because they are in another reality kicking the butts of those who menace us from that dimension!"

"The Devourer. Him. I've heard of him. It will be a tough fight and we human hosts may have to all die to stop this Devourer but I'm positive we can do so. If you make enemies of us now, and we DO kick the butt of the Devourer, how long before we come after YOU to get our payback?"

"That's not a threat. I don't mean any of this as a threat. This is reality. You came here uninvited. You stole. You murdered my people."

"We can end this. Right now! All of us die here!"

"OR...."

"We can discuss you purchasing or bartering or trading for some of the Lunarium. Perhaps even set up a tentative non-agression treaty and trade agreement between our peoples that might lead one day to an alliance."

"Wouldn't that be a better way to GUARD your people rather than stealing from others? The choice is yours to make, not mine. I will now let you into my mind so you know I speak the truth. But beware, any sign or hint of an attack and the power bursts forth and we all die! You might even be lucky enough or unlucky enough to have the other two inside me let you get a glimpse of their thoughts. Putty's shouldn't be so bad but the Dark Prince ....?"

He takes a deep breath and prepares himself.

"Choose. Life or Death. Possible Allies or Deadly Enemies. Read me and choose."

He waits for a reply.

ooc: not sure how to do this game mechanic-wise but he will drop any mental shields so his mind can be read. He believes every word he said and hopes he gave the most convincing performance of his acting life!!!!! king

The moment the menal probe turns into an attack or the moment someone physically attacks him, he drops all his subconscious "governors" he has been using to keep the Dark Power from overwhelming him and automatically lets loose the Darkness Inside Him. And yes, he realizes that this will kill him and kill his allies, which isn't cricket but he can't let a super-Nazi from another planet dictate terms for peace. He's seen what that did for Earth. Evil or Very Mad

But I'm hoping the blend of chastising, revealing true power levels, asking for a non-violent solution, etc will actually end this peacefully.

If not, I think my next character is going to be called the Human Bullet!!!

When at the Bridge, Frostbite reaching out to Anyman, 'Hello old friend, care to let us know what was with the fireworks? Are you and the team ok, down there?"

"Lost control. Destroyed solar system of invaders instead of killing millions of humans. As I promised to do to them if they tried taking what doesn't belong to them," was Anyman's quick reply. "Now disobeying orders to return to England and cease all activities, to continue saving P'utanarians and other Death Camp survivors. Also defeated Major Nazi and his cohorts. They have just been "drafted" into my newly form Legion of Supers to protect the world and help with war victims. They are not happy. Don't give a rat's ass what they feel. Going to "draft" all supers on Earth into the Legion. At least those we are at war with. Hope others volunteer."

"How's the battle going up there?"

smaug Sat Jun 30 2012, 22:54

right chaps I've got some missiles here, where do you want them delivered? Does anyone have any objections if i launch them back at these pigs?

OOC: Or do you think they have innocents there?

Potentially they'll have limited effect owing to there being no atmosphere. And it stops us going back, should we need to. I wonder if it might be better to imprison them within the metal in the place, and have that ball parked nearby for now.

"Gentlemen, if the Earth can survive the next thirty minutes without you having to stop someone, I suggest we all gather together as quickly as possible. The Devourer is now here." {Again the mental pointing of where he is} "I'm heading for the closest ship of ours. I'm in space, I've just stopped my pursuit of the Imperator, who plans to destroy the Earth, as I think he is now the minor menace here."

OOC Tsch. You'd moan if things got too easy. Saying that, things are about to get as hard as the Vanguard have ever had...

Silence followed the announcement by Anyman, then a distant voice spoke up.

"I'll be there. I've been... 'tied up' you could say, hunting down a threat to the Isle of Britain to repay a debt. There is no doubt that the land, the world, senses a greater threat coming though - I was whipped away before I could defeat the inner circle of a sect of cultists intent on opening a door to hell! Chances are none of that will matter if the Devourer isn't stopped" said Nowhere Boy.

"I, too, will try to coax this old body into one last effort to...unnnhh.. stop fussing Slobotham! No, I'm not losing my bloody marbles! I'm talking to the others! Now will you just... stop fussing... where was... ah yes. I'll be there..." said General Wynn- from a hospital bed!

There was silence then another voice, faint, as if from behind a wall, spoke up...

"I cannot help you, Vanguard! I am ... lost!" cried Kitten from some place, another dimension, another distant point in time and space. All felt the sorrow of her statement - she had sacrificed herself that the powers of darkness, the Shadow Demons, couldn't gain a foothold on Earth!

Steeple_jackuk Sat Aug 04 2012, 22:09

"Frostbite to Anyman, we're a bit tied up old mate. We've finally cornered Hitler but he's undergone quiet some changes. Dabbling where he ought not to be. Anyhow we'll be with you as soon as we can be. Hold on but keep us informed."

"Gentlemen! I need you here NOW! We have met the enemy and he is US! Ignore Hitler and stand by to be teleported!"

Giving you a round or two to finish what you are doing and then over you go!

ooc: Hitler is like playing around in the kiddie pool at the moment. Get over here into the adult pool! affraid

And since they are us, they probably also heard that telepathic comment.

OOC:All true, unfortunately unless you break us out, we've no choice but to fight him. The earth is also at more immanent risk as he has place gas canisters that zombiefie people throughout the earth. Whilst I've stopped the timer, if we leave him, he may yet find a way to set them off, meaning we come back to an earth filled with no one worth saving. However I realise that that is the view of my PC, as a player of course we need to get to you - but some of us are paralysed by a fear attack and can't do much save fight back. So unless you teleport us up there, or we use our powers to get away, we're kinda stuck for the moment in a rock and hard place.

Anyman, this is Frostbite, we are ready to be beamed out, just as soon as Sentinel can put these...creatures...in a place where they cannot do any further harm. I've got Hitler on Ice and some spear he was holding onto. Be ready to get us out, of here.

OOC: So as soon as Sentinel can put the Cuthluoids beneath a metal prison with me freezing it up then you can get us. Just waiting for our next round.

'Vanguard, friends, i realized me doing his could very well bring the devourer hot my my heels but at least that'll buy earth some time. There is another strain of lunarium here that absorbs dark energy its self which could be the very answer we are looking for. I don't know how we got here but i we are a long way from home' said Silver Sentinel, across the depths of space!

DavidMcMahon Mon Oct 22 2012, 22:28

"Silver Sentinel! If you can home in on my thoughts, we have a weapon we can use with your special Lunarium. We just have to fight off hordes of undead zombies and ghouls while waiting for you to get here," Anyman paths on the Vanguard mental link, realizing that the Devourer can probably hear it too. "Get here quick! We probably will only have minutes to make the weapon work!"
