Project Argonaut IC

[Zender_Solarheart]

Seeing the Paladins flee into the woods and abandon their objective, as well as their CO, Greg sighs with a bit of disappointment. To think that they'd be such pale-ass pussies once the leader dropped...well, at least they have both the enemy CO and that "carrier" object secured. Time for that interrogation.

The woman seems quite spirited, especially in comparison to her subordinates, but she's crippled...and doing bodily harm to a crippled woman, enemy or otherwise, was never something Greg did right off the bat. Kneeling down near her, but keeping an eye open for a knife or other means of attack, he gives Claire a hand-sign gesture that says "keep her restrained, and confiscate all of her weapons." Then, he begins his interrogation process:

"Well well, your guys don't seem very fitting for the name of 'Paladin,' considering how they ran like horror movie victims. You, however, seem a lot stronger in spirit...and frankly, I don't think you belong with cowards like them." He pauses for a moment to secure his SMG in the holster, and ready his machete, but he's not using it just yet. "Be that as it may, however, you are an officer with the opposing force, so I can't just let you go. Nothing personal...but I digress. I have some questions for you, and I'd like them answered without trouble, if you'd be so kind. Oh, and before you start thinking that I won't hurt you..."

In order to prove that he's not messing around, Greg holds his machete near the woman's visor, but he won't actually swing it unless she gives him proper cause to do so. "...well, I may find it a bit troublesome, doing such a thing to a lady. My fried here, however, I can't really speak for on that." He glances up at Claire to make that point clear, then back down at the Paladin woman's visor-plate. "I'd like to avoid anything...'messy,' but that can change real quick. So, for starters...what's this thing you're hauling around?"

"DONT YOU FUCKING TOUCH HIM YOU FISTFUL OF ASSHOLES!" she screams slamming on the glass. "DONT YOU TOUCH HIM ANYMORE!!" she breathes heavy sobbing a little. her body shaking her mohawk flopped into her eyes. She glares at the man. She lets out a gutteral roar that would put napalm death to shame. before throwing her fist into the glass again. "WELL THEN ASSHOLE SPEAK UP TELL ME WHATS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT YOU HAVE TO KIDNAP AS AND BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF SOMEONE YOU GENEVA BREAKING MOTHERFUCKER!" she presses close up to the glass tits a little squashed.

[Icaelus]

Luna blinked. The concussion was really getting to her, throwing double visions into her sight. Not good. Still, at least the battle was just about won. Most of the Paladins had been annihilated and whatever was left of them were pulling back in an somewhat disorganized retreat..which meant that they were safe for now.
"My head. Ow."
She raised a hand to the back of her head, not surprised when she found a rather painful lump where she had smacked her head on. She winced as her fingers touched the lump. Geez, that was going to stay for a while..

[Lady Foxy]

Mia's slow-motion feeling came around as the remaining Paladins popped out of their cover, moved or simply tried to run away. Her gun's AI told her she was going to be out of ammo in about.. Just now. A spray of bullets whizzed by as she dropped her assault rifle and with an incredible speed, whipped out her pistol and sent two bullets into the head of the paladin that had almost gotten her then and there.

She quickly spotted another one trying to dash for the next piece of cover available for him, the impact of the bullet strong enough to make the blood spilling out of the second Paladin spray like paint along a wall. Without hesitation her instincts pulled in when something almost hit her leg, rolling aside before aiming briefly at her attacker -- sending three exact bullets into the next Paladin.. One in the forehead, another one on his chest.. And one right into his heart.

Then two of the other remaining Paladins seemed to be making a run for it. Not on her watch. She sprinted towards a car in her path, smoothly jumping above it as her behind slid against the front of the car.

Mia breathed deeply and fired into the backs of the Paladins, seeing them squeal and scream in pain as she smirked for a moment.

''Another four down. Is there any of them left?'' Mia asked through her comm as she lifted her right wrist near her mouth so she could speak clearly.

Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

A cold, sadistic smile spread across the man's face. He was enjoying his, seeing you squirm about in your cage. Throwing yourself at him to be free. Promising to tell him everything. He didn't flinch at your scream however, his voice unwavering but still frantic.

"Then you'll answer my questions truthfully! Because I can tell when you lie to me. I don't like being lied to. And I would hate to have to damage poor Emile any more then he already is, hm? He went back to his chair and grabbed his pad of paper and pencil. "Now then Yolandi my dear, why don't we start off with you telling me to names of everyone who came to this planet with you."

Emile:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

You did manage to impale one of the Paladin's necks, but your pipe remained stuck in him. He fell to the ground, wriggling and squirming and screaming in pain, trying to pull out the pipe. The round house kick knocked one Paladin around, but he quickly regained his footing and raised his fists.

The man screams, clearly upset that you aren't talking. "No, no, no, no, NO! This isn't how it's suppose to go!" His voice became high pitched, like a child having a temper tantrum. "Flood the room! I want that room filled with the gas in five minutes! Oh, you'll regret this, Emile. You and Yolandi both." More mad scientist laughter. However, the four Paladin's left have stopped attacking. They are now clawing at the door, their screams muffled by their helmets. Some bang on the doors, others claw at the walls, trying to get out.

A vent, positioned right above the door, as started spewing a purple gas into the room. The Paladin's avoid it like the plague, and it seems very dense: once out of the vent, it soon sinks to the floor, and covers it like a blanket, slowly rising.

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The female looks up at both of you. She doesn't wear a helmet, and her long black hair is dirty and full of twigs. Her brown eyes tear up a little, and a single tear falls from her face onto her C-cup breasts. Her voice is sad and pleading, and she stares at the figure in to cage while she talks.

"P-please help me... Don't let t-that thing touch -me again..."

Inside the cage is a plexi glass covering, but it's been fogged up by whatever is inside. You can see smudges of brown-ish black stuff on the inside of the covering, with hand prints and smears all along. You can barley make out a very, very large humanoid figure hunched over. Or it could just be some boxes and barrels, and this woman is bat-shit crazy, but whatever.

Mia, Luna and Ed:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

With only one Paladin left, another shot from Ed's rifle finds itself in the last one's leg. Falling down in pain, he tries to crawl away.

Ed and Captian Veega quickly abandon their cover, running up to you two. Veega carries a med kit, presumably to patch Luna up.

"Hey Lunatic, come 'er. That looks like a nasty bump, better sit down." Rather then wait for her to do it herslef, Veega pushes Luna down, and putts the med kit beside her. He kneels down and opens it up, going through the supplies. "Okay, where does it hurt?"

Ed walks up behind Mia, and reloads his rifle. "There's just the one left. Hey, he still counts as a kill, right? I crippled him, he should count. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I killed more then you. I was counting." Ed smiles. "Anyways, those were some pretty sick moves you had out there. Not bad, but you'd never survive Veega's training."

Combat Awards!

Mia: Flawless Cowboy Win without taking a single hit
All Bets Are Off Win a kill contest

Luna: Rape Bait! Take the most damage
That's Not A Knife... Kill someone with a blade

Dax, Irvine, Resh:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax's three round bursts prove to be quite effective: staying accurate and minimizing kickback while still killing effectively. The Paladin's stick to the insides of buildings, taking cover in the abandoned shops and houses. They still fire at the civilians, and ignore you.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax: Picking off Paladins. Health: 100%

Irvine: Mortar ready to fire. Health: 100%

Resh: In a hole somewhere (you can just join these guys without having to find your way out) Health: 100%

[dndman997]

Irvine loaded and fired the mortar "fire in the hole" he shouted pulling out his mac-11 for defence in hopes that his mortar shell will hit something hostile

[daxtinator396]

Dax continues to pick off targets infuraited that they would ignore him to focus on the civilians. This could not stand."Irvine do your best to draw their attention a mortar blast will do nicely but be advised I`m going to be moving in closer for a bit more personal approach and take out their cowardly leader if I can find his ass." He says to Irvine through the comms and begins stealthily picking his way back towards were a leader like that tends to be channeling his namesake.

[dndman997]

"you do that dax ill provide cover" he said

[Lady Foxy]

Mia chuckled quietly while shaking her head slowly to the sides, patting Ed's right shoulder before walking up to the crawling Paladin. ''Maybe he does. You were smart not to kill him, we might extract some information from him on the way. Isn't that right?'' She stated loudly before stomping her right boot onto the Paladin's back, shooting his hand and kicking away his weapon.

''Might want to ask Veega if we interrogate him or not. I say he has half-an-hour before he dies from his wounds. That is, if he can't handle pain.'' Mia said before making sure to keep the Paladin in place with her boot. ''Also, I won the contest.. Did you flunk math?'' She said playfully, winking at Ed before stomping her right boot on the Paladin's back again.

[daxtinator396]

Dax whispers quietly into his mike,"Thanks for that but I need silence until I say otherwise I`ll stay in touch." His ears listen for any sounds that may tip him off to that he`s been compromised or just anything unusual. He also looks for any lone paladins ripe for assasination.

[kaibunny94]

"I Never bothered to learn their names. I don't take an interest in people who think i'm unprofessional. and I made such a poor first impression that I didn't really make an effort to speak with any of them." Yolandi paces back and forth she isn't lying she can't remember anyones names, whether he knows that or not is another question entirely. she sits down glaring at the man coldy.

[Icaelus]

Luna watched as Mia systematically disassembled the opposition with several well-aimed shots, each Paladin falling to the ground with less chances of survival than a fish in the goddamned desert.
''Another four down. Is there any of them left?''
Mia's voice projected through the comm. Luna glanced around, watch Ed bring the last fleeing Paladin down with a bullet to the legs. Apparently Ed was quite the sharpshooter too. Luna winced as her head throbbed, then raised her comm to her mouth.
"Lunatic here. Ed got the last one. I really don't want to see what you two could do with a vantage point and half a sniper rifle.."
Her voice seemed to hold a smile in it's tone as she walked towards Mia. A rather rough voice that could only belong to Veega called out from behind her. She spun to face him, only to be abruptly pushed down onto her butt.
"Ow..Damn it, S.C."
Luna glared daggers at Veega, her hand already placed on the hilt of her katana. Their eyes met and for once Luna saw just that bit of worry in Veega..huh. Maybe he was that type that didn't like to lose men? She took a deep breath to let out her annoyance and dropped her hand from the katana, gesturing to the back of her head and left shoulder.
"Back here. I hit my head pretty hard..and I..uh..dislocated my left shoulder. I put it back, though."
She gestured to her injures in a rather careless tone, like concussions and dislocations of certain parts of the arm were just everyday matters.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

"What's in the cage?" Claire asks. She slowly walks towards the crate and stares into it. She knocks on the plexi glass a few times and takes a closer look.

[jayjaycaps]

Dax, Resh and Irvine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Irvine's mortar hit one of the smaller building's roofs, causing it to cave in, killing a few of the Paladin inside. As Dax creeps closer, he can hear a muffled voice shout out suddenly: "Hey! It's them!" Sounds like you've been spotted! A massive wall of bullets comes you way, and you hear the sound of a machine gun starting up. Shit, better get out of the way, fast!

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax: Under heavy fire. Health: 100%

Irvine: Mortar emptied. Ready to reload. Health: 100%

Resh: Still chilling in a hole somewhere. Health: 100%

Mia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Ed laughs with you, and comments "They never covered math in basic training, and Veega isn't too good with it anyways. Oh, and we don't need to Veega's permission, why don't we just ask away? I think half an hour is stretching it a bit. He'd be lucky if he gets twenty minutes..." Ed crouched down, sitting above the Paladin. He smiled, and asked his first question: "Alright pal, where are the rest of you? Where's central command around here?" You hear what sounds like sobbing from inside his helmet. "Please, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die! It's in the old Asylum on the hill, the looney bin! Help me, I don't wanna die!" The Paladin sounds frantic. Ed stands back up and turns to you. "I got everything I needed to know. You got any questions for him?"

Luna:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Veega turned to you, stopping his rummaging through the med kit. "Dislocated shoulder? Lemme see..." Taking your bad arm at the elbow and placing one arm on your shoulder, he simultaneously pulls and pushes, and you hear a rather loud pop! followed by some intense pain. Like that really, really hurt. He didn't even give you a warning! He turned back to the med kit, eventually pulling out a needle and a vial of purplish liquid. "And I got just the thing for concussions... Wait, why do you call me S.C.? Kinda weird, giving your commanding officer a nickname."

Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The man writes some more on his pad. "Okay my deary, fair enough. Now tell me, why did you come here? You brought me something, a new toy. But what was it?" The man leaned in closer, taking a good look at you.

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The figure from inside doesn't move or react to Claire's tapping. The woman on the other hand, flinches each tap. "It's a n-new project the Doctor was w-working on. Not finished, he said. It needed more tests. But that's all he cared about, the tests. More tests. Needs more tests..." The woman began to chant this, and he eyes began to cloud over. It seemed something was off about her now, but neither of you can place your finger on what's wrong. Greg notices her leg has stopped bleeding, and her breathing is returning to normal.

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire knocks louder. "Hello? What exactly are you?" she says. She practically sticks her face right against the glass and peers in.

[daxtinator396]

Dax hears the staccato shots of the machine gun starting up,"Fuck time to go!" He ducks behind a low brick wall and speask into the mike to Irvine,"Yo I need you to take out the machine gun nest!" He moves a ways down the wall and peeks up over it trying to look at how many have him pinned.

[dndman997]

Irvine loaded another mortar changing the trajectory a bit and then fires it again hoping to hit were dax advised to hit

[Zender_Solarheart]

"Stay where you are, if you want to live." Greg says, keeping his machete drawn in one hand, and his SMG in the other. A bit of an unorthodox dual-wield, but he's more focused on having both at the ready...especially if the "project" in that container is as dangerous as she's inferring.

Moving up near Claire, he says "I don't think being close to it is a good idea. Call it a hunch, but I think that...thing is a bio-weapon of some sort...most likely a vicious one, too." With that said, Greg begins looking around the container, trying to find a control panel of some sort. If the Paladins were trucking along something that powerful, they should have some sort of fail-safe ready, in case it goes berserk.

[Lady Foxy]

Mia held the Paladin against the floor with her right boot, breathing calmly while hearing Ed ask the terrified soldier a single question, getting an answer without trouble. ''It's not necessarily a question.'' She stated somewhat grimly before getting down on one knee in front of the Paladin's face, holding her pistol behind her back.

''May that somebody up there choose where you're headed, paradise or a fiery inferno.'' She whispered -- before swiftly pulling the trigger of her pistol, sending the Paladin's face to rest on the dirt in front of them. Mia stood up and placed new rounds into her pistol's chamber, locking it before swapping it back into it's holster. Her eyes wandered around Ed's face and neck, eventually placing a hand on the top of his chest.

''I need to check on my partner.'' She said before walking over to Luna, crossing her arms and hearing something about nicknames. ''Better be careful with Lunatic here, I don't want her condition to get worse.'' Mia almost stated furiously before leaning down, caressing the back of Luna's head. ''Feeling all right? 'Should be more careful, you were lucky I was there!'' She said almost in a motherly tone, smiling at Luna.

[Icaelus]

Luna sighed as Veega repeated her injuries back to her as if he hadn't heard clearly. Maybe an ear check was in order for him..
"Do you need to get your ears checked? Yes, shoulder dislocation, but I already fixed it my-"
She cut off mid-sentence as Veega grabbed her elbow and placed a hand on her left shoulder, grasping it firmly. Wait, was he going to ignore all that she had just said and do what she thought he was going to do? Her blue eyes widened at the prospect.
"Don't you dar-AAH!"
Luna's world spun briefly, her teeth gritted from the intense pain. Veega had goddamned dislocated her shoulder again and put it back. Her good arm moved quickly, drawing her katana and slashing blindly at Veega's head. The tip of the katana brushed his chin, giving him a rather stupid looking shaved patch cut into his stubble. She wouldn't decapitate him, though. She knew he was trying to do some good..which still didn't change the fact that her left shoulder burned like a bitch now.
"Argh. Sorry, habit. Lucky I only shaved your chin."
Luna's face twitched, as if she was trying her hardest not to laugh at that stupid bald patch on Veega's chin. Anyway, back to Veega's question..
"Ah..why I call you S.C? Well..you bear quite the resemblance to someone in my past. He was a goddamn spineless coward. And also probably just because I'm crazy like that."
She gave Veega a wicked grin to hide the inner turmoil boiling within her..that concussion that somehow jogged her brain enough for her to remember a few memories..and Veega honestly looked like of her captors back then..big, burly and abusive. When it all came down to the fight he couldn't win, he was a damned coward..
Luna fell further into her memories..

A man with a striking resemblance to Veega quietly pushed open the door of the cold cell, soundlessly walking in with a bucket of cold water. A small figure lay curled up in the corner of the cell, asleep. His lip curled into a sadistic smile, dumping the contents of the bucket onto the figure. A girlish, surprised gasp came from the shadowy form as the man spun and hit a light switch, blinding the figure temporarily.
"Breakfast time, girl!"
A fifteen year old Lunalesca glared daggers up at the man, jumping to her feet and wobbling there unsteadily for a while. Amused at the show of defiance, the man watched her for a moment. They had deprived her of food for almost three days now. This girl would be a tough one to break..he watched the girl half-collapse, catching herself before she fell, instead leaning on a wall for support. Heh, maybe not so much then.
"Well, girl! In our..uh, esteemed hotel here, we don't serve your usual breakfast. Nothing like all that rich food you've been eating since you were in diapers. In here, you're going to have to do us..a service for it."
Luna's anger turned to confusion. Service? Rich food? What the hell was this idiot even talking about? She still hadn't regained her memory of who she really was, the only thing that she had left was her name..
"Gods, you're dense. Fine, I'll give you the short version. Suck me off and you'll eat."
The man promptly pulled down his pants, revealing his thick 8" shaft. Luna recoiled from the sight, her eyes fearful now.
"Not gonna say anything? Still..I'm a pretty nice guy, so I like to give people choices. Either you suck me off, or you starve."
He grinned at Luna, pulling up back up his pants as he turned to leave.
"Wait..I'll..do it.."
A small voice stopped his departure and he turned around, a big smile on his face.
"Ah, did you say something? Couldn't hear too well just then."
Luna blinked back tears of humiliation, her hands clenching into fists.
"I said I would do it!"
She yelled, her temper flaring. Unfortunately for her, the man wasn't too keen on being yelled at. He crossed the room with two strides and punched Luna once in the stomach, forcing her to her knees.
"We also teach bad little girls their manners in here.."
He pulled down his pants and yanked her head upwards, holding her nose till she needed to take a breath through her mouth. Luna tried to struggle out of his grasp, but he was way too strong for her in her current weakened state. And she was gradually suffocating too.. She eventually opened her mouth for a quick breath, intending to close it before he got the chance but he was too fast, pulling her head forward and jamming his entire shaft down her throat.
"Bite and I'll show you that you don't need all your teeth to suck a dick, girl."
He fell on top of her, grunting like a pig as he began brutally facefucking her. All her screams and cries of protest were in vain and unsaid, muffled by the eight inch member that continually slid in and out of her throat.
"Bless my balls, this is so good!"
He moaned, pushing his dick in one final time for the climax. Semen flooded her throat and mouth and Luna scratched at the man weakly, unable to breath as long as he didn't draw his cock back out. She had nearly blacked out from lack of oxygen before the man pulled out, his dick dripping with saliva and semen.
Luna was bent double coughing and retching at the horrible, bitter taste of his semen.
"Don't vomit it all out, girl. That's protein right there."
The man crouched down, his dick already erect again.
"I don't usually do this, but you're just so cute. Don't worry. Papa Vegas can always go for seconds."
He pushed her flat onto her back, his dick poised to penetrate her virgin vagina.
"No. Please. I've already sucked you off. Pleas-"
Of course her refusals were all in vain. His thick shaft slammed deep into her pussy, ruthlessly ripping her hymen.
She remembered herself screaming, pushing at Vegas desperately as if she could push him back out of her pussy..no such luck.
Outside, the guards stood with blank expressions as her screams echoed in the jail, gradually changing to sobs and moans.
A good hour later, Vegas reemerged from the cell, closing the door behind her.
"You guys can have a go too. Give her something to eat later, though."
Vegas winked at the two guards as he handed an empty bucket to one of them, walking off for some lunch of his own.
Guard Ryan pushed open the door slowly, gingerly peeking into the cell. In the far left corner, a girl lay motionless against the wall. Her pale body was splattered with cum and her pussy visibly gaped. No surprise there. Vegas was quite the big fellow. Her ass however..
"Joe! Vegas left her ass. Come on.."
Ryan grinned, entering the cell with his partner just behind him.. Luna shifted, looking up at the two men. Her blue eyes met Ryan's, then Joe's and both of them felt a slight sense of unease. In those electric blue eyes, the beginnings of insanity danced within..
The two men shrugged and pulled their pants down.
Screams echoed in the jail once again..the beginning of many, many more to come..

The twenty-year old Luna snapped back to reality to the sound of Mia's motherly tone and her touch, blinking as she realised that tears were running down her cheeks.
"Sorry. Just remembered something from the past. That concussion helped."
She made a weak attempt at a joke, forcing a strained laugh. Her voice broken and Luna glanced up at Mia and Veega, her sad eyes reflecting the normal, fifteen year old girl that she had been once..once but no more..

(Ah..sorry for the long post. Sudden inspirations, you know?)
