Project Argonaut IC

Mia glanced behind her shoulder as Veega pretty much stated his plan of action and straight out began to leave. ''Come on, Luna.. We've got work to do!'' She said in a joyful tone, playfully grabbing Luna's right hand with her left and began leading her towards the group. Her smile was wide enough, winking at her for a brief moment. ''Hey, next time.. Stay close to me and I'll make sure nothing wrong happens to you, all right? Or at least.. Be more careful. I can't risk loosing my only teammate here.'' Mia whispered before giving Luna some space and kept leading her towards the group.

(Wow...you clearly have NO idea how hard it is to earn Mr. Spade's allegiance with seduction. Attempts that half-hearted won't even make him flinch...soldiers of his caliber are trained for tactics like these, y'know.)

Oh, she wants to play that way, does she? This bitch obviously doesn't know who she's dealing with. "If you're trying to seduce me, don't. There's a difference between mission and motive, y'know. Also, to whoever's really listening..." He pushes the woman back, noting how he's figured out that someone's using her for "long-distance communication." He also readies himself to defend himself and Claire, then continues: "Mission or otherwise, Claire is on my team, and you're obviously planning to violate her with some mind-slaves. Well, our soldiers cover each other, and you've wronged four of us already." (that includes Emile and Yolandi, btw).

With his decision clear, and his machete raised, Greg eyes both opponents, with priority on Jack. "So come on, whoever you are. I'll waste these toys of yours, and then I'll come for you, with all the fury of Hell!!" Once he's done with that, Greg re-opens fire on Jack, this time aiming for more vital spots on his body: the knees, elbows, wrists, neck, and anywhere else with invaluable arteries and/or ligaments to nail. He also sends a few shots towards Jack's chin, aiming to make that gash on his chin even deeper...or maybe even punch all the way into his mouth. In short, if there's a vulnerable joint, organ, or blood vessel he can shoot at, he fires a burst at it, using dropped Paladin weapons when possible to conserve ammo.

Irvine adjusted to fire close to were his first shot was "im doing my best. its a mortar not a cannon. not known for accuracy" irvine said loading and then firing again

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire screams in shock. "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! GREG I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!" She shouts as she starts running away from Jack. She turns around to take a few more shots at Jack, in his face, torso, and legs, before turning around and running straight again.

[Icaelus]

Of course not. Who would have time for a lunatic's problems? Luna smiled sadly as Mia took hold of her hand, starting to drag her along to the group. Closer and closer to Veega.. Luna frowned. Veega was Veega, Vegas was dead. She had to keep reminding herself of that little fact..and their uncanny resemblance wasn't helping her forget things any faster.
That concussion sure picked a good time to happen..Luna raised a hand to her aching head, closing her eyes at the pain. The pain spiked to such an intense point that she actually fell unconscious for a bit..

"Wake up, girlie.
Vegas nudged Luna's still form with his booted foot, turning her body over. What, was she dead or something? Probably shouldn't have called in his friends last night for that party..
"Ugh. Damn it, girl. Don't make me dump a corpse while I'm hungover. That ain't good for health.."
He sat down beside Luna, poking her in the ribs once. She jerked at he motion and a wide grin spread across his lips. Girl was playing him for a fool. Well now..Papa Vegas never got outplayed. Vegas unbuckled his belt and out of the corner of his eye, saw Luna's blue eyes open a fraction to look at him. Even after two years here she still hadn't broke..but she was nuttier than a fruitcake, that was for sure. He turned the seventeen year old girl over onto her face, tugging her arms up and binding her hands with his belt.
Even if she had wanted to play dead, Luna knew this wasn't something Vegas did to dead people. He simply detailed a guard and ordered him to toss the girl out..she would know..she was the longest surviving girl in Vegas' little patch of Hell. Teenage girls came and went regularly, the ones leaving only the dead ones..
Luna reluctantly opened her eyes and turned back to look at Vegas...just in time to see his erect cock poised to penetrate her ass. Her blue eyes widened.
"Wai- AAH!"
Her cry of pain echoed in the jail cell as Vega slowly squeezed the entire length of his dick in, leaving Luna sobbing in pain and scrabbling frantically at the leather belt binding her.
Vegas grinned sadistically. Girlie had always hated anal and he perfectly knew why. Her ass always never seemed to loosen..making her just so damn good, you know?
He drew back and fell into rhythm, grunting as he pounded away at her ass.
"Love it, don't ya? Scream for me!"
He laughed as he smashed down one final time, ejecting his seed into her ass. To her credit, Luna didn't scream, instead gasping as the rush of cum filled her. He pulled out, dick dripping.
"Ow..Y-you win, Daddy."
Luna whimpered from the floor, her hands moving to her ass to try wipe away the cum.
Vegas grinned triumphantly down at her. Girlie still hadn't broke..but was crazy as hell. The regular fuckings he had gave her turned into somewhat of a game now. Girl kept coming up with new tricks..today's play dead was a bit more successful than usual. And also, she seemed to think of him as her dad! Now imagine that!
"Of course I'll win, Girlie. Papa Vegas always wins. Now..let's take you out for a round in the stocks, eh?"
He easily picked the struggling Luna up, her eyes wide when she heard the round in the stocks part.
"No! I don't want to go!"
Vegas grinned, patting her behind as he slung her over his shoulder.
"Oh, but I have to make a living, don't I?"
He opened the cell door and headed down, Luna struggling every single centimeter of the way.
The stocks were what you wouldn't have imagined. Not your typical stuff where you bought on the stock market and hope you got lucky, but real actual stocks for people to restrain them..
Vegas clamped her hands into the stocks, leaving her secure with no way to escape. Unless she could chew through two inch thick wood, that is.
"I like you, Girlie. Don't worry..Customer get too rough, I'll make sure you get a good burial."
He gave her a wink before turning away to look at a horde of men. On her sides were other girls, all stocked in and trembling with fear.
"Ladies and- Ah, wait. Just gentlemen then. Oh, shut the fuck up. You lot can't be called gentlemen anyway! Nevermind! Get on with it and pay at the door later!" Vegas laughed, the horde of men advancing onto the girls in stocks. In truth, it was just a mindless, endless gangrape..
Luna kicked out at anyone that came close, snarling like a feral cat. It wouldn't be enough. Luna was somewhat of a star with these men..they eventually teamed up on her and caught her legs, spreading them open and entering her two at once in double penetration. She could struggle all she wanted..to no avail, of course.
Those screams were going to echo in the compound for quite a while..

Luna snapped back to reality, cold sweat running down her face. The ache in her head had disappeared, but more and more of those..memories were coming back. She didn't want them. Stay forgotten till the end of time, please..PLEASE!
She wouldn't hear the call for guard duty till it was too late, shaken as she was. Mia came over and whispered comfortingly in her ear, hugging her warmly and then leaving her to her own devices..
"I'll partner you for night watch, Vegas.."
Luna called out, her eyes dancing with insanity..

Mia, Luna, Ed, Veega:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Back at the building, it is exactly as you left it, except for the fires had gone out. The group in front of you heads up stairs, where the Argonaut still sits in the middle of his room, frozen. Some condensation rolls down the glass, and it's a little clearer, but not much. Inside you can make out a male's figure, based on the body shape.

Veega gives some orders to his group, something about medical attention and the woman. The move up another flight of stairs, leaving you two, Veega and Ed together with the Argonaut. Ed and Veega turn back to you, and Mia notice's Ed's lip has started bleeding again.

"Alright, we set up here for the night, move out tomorrow at dawn. We'll have a two person watch on the roof. Ed is first, and I'll take the last half. You two figure out who's partnered up with who. I suggest whoever's with me get some rest. We've got a sleeping area upstairs, but it ain't much." Veega turns sharply and makes his way to the third floor with the other soldiers. Ed looks at the two of you expectantly. He knows who will volunteer to partner with him for watch, but who knows? Maybe he'll be wrong...

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Jack continues to bound after Claire, and he quickly gains on her. Most of her shots missed, with a few ricocheting off of his torso. Greg's don't do any better, on account of the woman tackling him to the ground. Once there, she straddles him, and leans in close to his ear.

"Who are you talking about? There's just you and me..." She whispered into his ear. She sits up straight on Greg, and moves her pelvis forwards and back slightly, grinding him. "Now stop fooling around and give in Greg. You can't win."

Jack catches up to Claire, and with an outstretched hand backhands her to the ground. The world turns a little fuzzy when you hit the ground, a solid five feet away from where you were hit. When you recover, you look up to see Jack standing over her, his massive figure quite imposing. That, and his clearly visible bulge, about the size of a football, still in his pants. Jack smiles and licks his lips, then bends down onto his hands and knees, his face right at Claire's crotch. He takes a long sniff, and smiles again. Kinda creepy, but whatever...

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Greg: On the ground with he Paladin on top of him. Health: 100%

Claire: On the ground. Health: 75%

Jack: Down on the ground by Claire. Health: 93%

Paladin Woman: On top of Greg. Health: 100%

Emile and Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The four Paladin in with Yolandi circle her, boxing her in. The close the gap a little, standing about three feet away from her. One of them from behind gets bold enough to make the first move, sending a kick to Yolandi's ribs. It connects, and staggers her a little.

The guard answers Emile, chuckling a little. "Oh will she? See here kid, those ain't your average shmucks down there. Special batch from the Doc himself. He's getting what he wants from you two, no matter what."

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Yolandi: Boxed in. Just got kicked in the ribs. Health: 96%

Paladin x 4: Surrounded Yolandi.

Dax, Resh, Irvine:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Resh hears the sounds of mortar fire and gunshots nearby. Probably from Dax and Irvine.

Irvine's third attempt hits the bunker, but does very little damage to it. The machine gun's aim gets thrown off from the shock, but quickly returns to firing at Dax.

Dax feels the bullets hit him full on now, his armor deflecting the damage over a wider area then where the bullet actually hit. This prevents any bullet holes in people, but causes the bullets to act less like projectiles and more like clubs and mallets. The force of the bullets sends him sprawling out of his cover, now in the open. On the ground, he hears the machine gun stop and reload, out of ammo. He also sees a group of five Paladin moving in on Irvine's location. He can't see them, and they'll be on top of him soon... But if that machine gun starts up again and you're not in cover...

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax: Just took massive damage. Laying on the ground, out of cover. Health: 75%

Irvine: Firing his mortar. Health: 100%

Resh: Finally back! Health: 100%

Paladin x 18: Moving in on Irvine. Reloading machine gun.

[daxtinator396]

Dax scrambles up to his feet quickly bringing his SMG up to his shoulder and running towards Irvine poping rounds into the backs of the advancing Paladins,"Irvine... I`m on my way... back to you... 5 tangos... inbound to your position." He gasps painfully into the mike as he charges forward. He looks quickly for new cover nervuosly knowing the gunner could start up any second now.

[dndman997]

"well maybe you can point me to were they are at dax" irvine said using his foot to angle the mortar down a bit making it more cannon like readying his mac-11 "but be wary i only have ex amount of shells left

[Reaver]

Emile chuckles "Do you mean the same batch that I was killing in the other room. Yolandi can handle more than you think. And I think you can let go it's not like im going anywhere besides even if i escaped i wouldn't know where to go."

[Zender_Solarheart]

Just you and me, my ass... Greg thinks to himself, angry that whoever's really pulling the strings here has such nerve. He tries to get himself back up, but she's pressing down on his center of gravity; if she's going to be removed from that position, he'll need to find some other way to draw her off. Unfortunately, his SMG and machete were dropped from his hands when the Paladin lady tackled him, and landed in spots where he can't reach them. Even if he could, she has him pinned down by the wrists, and his legs aren't flexible enough to kick her off...no wait...

His legs aren't willing to move at all, it seems...and his armor's cod-piece has risen ever so slightly...is she turning him on? That makes him even angrier, this time at himself. Dammit...dammit all to hell! You're better than this, Greg! He's practically screaming at himself mentally, cursing how his body doesn't agree with his judgment. However, his distaste for the situation, and how he expresses it, is not entirely psychological.

"Damn you, bitch! Get off of me! I'm not leaving Claire to Big N' Purple's designs!!" He cries out in rage, pissed as fuck at all of this. He pushes up against the hands holding his wrists down, his resistance rekindled by the knowledge of what will become of Claire if he remains stuck here...and he's not about to let that happen. He also delivers a headbutt with that helmet of his, doing all in his power to be released from the Paladin seductress's grasp. It's simultaneously a strong and weak point for Greg: once there's something he really puts his mind to, there ain't no way in Hell that you're stopping him without killing him.

[Lady Foxy]

Mia watched Ed glance over at her direction, hearing about the night watch before placing her hands softly on Luna's shoulders. ''Luna, if there's something wrong.. Tell me about it. Don't leave me hanging in here.. Anyways, I'll be doing night watch with Edward over there, if you have a problem or get in trouble, don't hesitate to call me. Hey, if you need to get something off your back, send me a text message.'' She whispered before giving Luna a warm and motherly hug, letting go after a minute before patting her right shoulder and walked up to Edward, raising an eyebrow.

''Oh, why are you looking at me like that?'' Mia asked in a low tone with a smile and a wink.

[Icaelus]

(Completed my post, it's up there, Jay.)

[wolf_demon]

When he hear the sounds of the gun fire and mortors "They started the party without me." He chuckles to himself trying to find the source of the fighting "I'm on my way boys." He say over his com link, before going to the sounds of the fire being sure to stick out of sight just in case there was some enemies along the way. He made sure to keep his com link open so they could tell him "What your situation, because I'm bring the hurt."

[daxtinator396]

Dax hears Resh on the comm and his eyes brighten and he fights that much harder to get to Irvine,"I hear you Resh. We got around 18 paladins fighting a firefight with civvies. They have a heavy machine gun in play. Your help would be much appreciated so run down here!" Dax dives behind a fruitstand hoping the fruit would slow the bullets enough to keep them from breaking through.

[kaibunny94]

Yoladni felt the kick and staggered a little "uhn" she grunted before spining on the ball of her foot throwing a foor up at head height. If it made contact it would be a solid roundhouse to the jaw.

Yolandi's fightig spirit. {-------------|-}

[TheDaughterOfHades14]

Claire looks up at Jack. "Get away from me you sick freak!" she shouts as she throws her last two knives into Jack's eyes (I lost track of how many knives I used, but I'm pretty sure I picked them up earlier). She then pulls out her pistols, hopefully they're still with her, and starts shooting at Jack's face.

[jayjaycaps]

Dax, Irvine and Resh:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax's shots find their mark, nailing two Paladin in the back. They go down, but three of them get away. You hear behind you a loud click and a woosh sound. The machine gun starts up again, back to it's slow start. You can see the bullets as they hit the ground, drawing a line closer and closer to you...

Irvine readies his mortar. In front of him, three Paladin convene on his position, each holding a shotgun, aimed at his face. They're too far apart to hit with one mortar strike, and too heavily armed to gun down. One of them speaks, but you can't tell due to their helmets muffling the sound. "Drop the mortar, buddy."

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax: Still on the ground. Health: 73%

Irvine: Surrounded by Paladin. Health: 100%

Resh: Chilling. Health: 100%

Paladin x 16: Spotted Irvine. Holding him hostage.

Emile and Yolandi:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The Paladin holding Emile down laughs. "Yea, nice try pal, we ain't letting go. I'll give you points for just straight up asking us, but we aren't stupid." The men continue to hold Emile down. Emile notices a strange, purple tint on the fight arena below him.

Yolandi's roundhouse kick connects with a Paladin's chin, causing his to lose his footing and stumble. He curses under his breath, and gets back up. One of the soldiers behind Yolandi smashes his elbow into her back, making her stumble forwards into the waiting fist of the Paladin in front of her. With her forward momentum and the punch to her jaw, it's quite staggering, and Yolandi can hear a cracking sound in her jaw when it connects. Back in the middle of the circle, the air smells a little funny...

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Yolandi: Punch to the face, elbow to the back. Still surrounded. Health: 87%

Paladin x 4: Still okay.

Greg and Claire:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Greg's headbutt throws the woman off guard, and she let's go of Greg's wrists. She sits up, now just kinda sitting on Greg's crotch. "Hey! That hurt! Don't make me get Jack over here!"

Jack smiles, eyeing Claire again. That is, until she throws the knives at him. The first one lands in Jack's cheek, and lodges itself in there. He tries to bring up his hand to block the second, but Jack's too slow. The second knife finds it's place just below Jack's eye, and cuts in pretty deep. Jack brings both hands up to his face, and screams in pain. He stands up and lets out a nearly deafening scream of agony. He tries to pull the knife out, but his fingers are too big. He looks back at Claire with sheer hatred, seething like a bull about to charge. He grabs Claire's waist before she can pull out her guns, holding her in the air with one hand. He lifts her up high, and smiles, finally getting a hold of his prey. Uh oh...

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Greg: Chilling with the Paladin. Health: 100%

Claire: Going all Lion King with Jack. Health: 75%

Jack: Two knives in his face, one just under his eye. Health: 74%

Paladin: Chilling with Greg. Health: 97%

Mia and Ed:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Ed smiles. "I'm looking at you because I knew you would partner up with me. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. Come on, let's go up to the roof." Ed leads the way, sniper rifle in hand to the apartment's roof.

Once up there, he takes a seat on the ledge. The building is 8 stories high, and gives you a very nice view of the surrounding area. You can even see the street you were just at, saving Veega and Ed. The sun is going down, turning the sky a pinkish red, not quite setting yet. From this view point, you'd be able to see anyone coming even close to the building.

Luna and Veega:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Veega scratched his head, looking Luna up and down. "Good. It's settled then. As you were, Price." Watching Ed and Mia walk up to the roof, Veega turns his attention back to Luna. He notices the look in her eyes, and an uneasy expression spreads across his face. "You okay there, Luna? Maybe that concussion hit you worse then you thought. Might be a good idea to lie down, or...?" Veega shifted uncomfortably. It was clear he wasn't good at this, interaction with someone. He looked around, trying to find something to say or do.

[Reaver]

Emile grits his teeth as he sees Yolandi fly into the punch, he tries struggling against the men holding him. "Is this what the Paladins stand for? Beating the shit out women? Torturing people when it's been outlawed for centuries? And what the fuck is the with the purple haze!?" He almost wants to give up and tell everything but he knows Yolandi wouldn't want him to and plus he knows she can take a whole lot more punishment if needed.

[dndman997]

Irvine knew he had to do something as he put his hands up. He thought hard as he sneakily turned his comms on "oh sorry about the fireworks guys i thought it was the fourth of july" he said trying to see if he cant drop their guard a bit. trying to buy time for help. his mac-11 pointed up in a surrender position

[Lady Foxy]

Mia raised an eyebrow with a coy smile, slightly moving her head sideways as Edward said that 'Not that he was complaining', following up to the roof before taking a seat next to him. She decided to sit normally, hugging her legs before nudging his left shoulder with her right. ''Almost sunset, huh? Hey, I know what my wish is. Tell me more about that 'wink' of yours back at the ship.. Did you really wink, Edward?'' The chuckling Mia asked, looking at him while feeling a bit 'good' to have some relaxing time at least, for the time being.
