Ben - *grin* No toes stepped on. I'm assuming that the virus is an annoyance type? Just taking up resources and hard to get rid of? If Atropos can't
get rid of by the time her sisters get back, they can help her clean it up...or she might ask Sekhmet for help. Let's see....cute little rabbit-type
bug....and an Egyptian war-goddess in lioness form. I know who I'D bet on. *snicker* Though Atropos would owe her a favor, then. It makes sense, though.
Fate tends to be the one that does the more active maintenance in the systems, so it'd be easier to sneak something in on Atropos like that.
And rob - I don't think he'd get away totally unscathed, though given how fast you've got him moving, I'm going with him being on
Kinto'un...which definitely ups movement/reaction times, since the AIs are controlling it...So...
Even as the claymore bomb exploded in a horrendous mess of strings in my direction, Kinto'un was already moving backward as fast as the AIs could drive it.
Still, I'd been too close to avoid it entirely. I wound up on the opposite side of a gigantic tangle of silly string, my left arm caught up in it.
"Blast it, Noah! I'm getting to HATE bombs. Somebody managed to tag me with a bloody Kawaii grenade earlier. I still reek of the thing...and it seems
to make women view me as adorable. As in 'I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George!' adorable. I've been running from overgrown Elmyras
for the last hour." Noah grinned at that. Unforunately, Leda was starting to get that same look in her eyes. Hrm. "Chakra scalpel...." A glowing
green blade extended from my fingertips and I cut my arm free.
"Tourniquet and sling." A 'wounded' band went around my arm, and a sling appeared to hold it. "All right...before Leda loses it, I think
I'm gonna run. Later at the bar? Oh...and one last word. Bonsai!" Yayoi blinked. "You mean 'Banzai'?" My unwounded hand was in the
pouch at my waist, and I pulled out something that looked like a huge acorn. "No...I meant exactly what I said. Bonsai!" I tossed it out towards the
trio from Stellvia, and commanded, "Be fruitful and multiply! GROW!" The nut shimmered, seeming to split
into multiple copies in mid-air, even as they started to sprout. Within moments, twenty one-foot-tall miniature treants had sprung up. I gave a huge grin.
"Sorry....it's required." I let out a mad cackle, and yelled out, "Get them, my wooden warriors! ATTACK!" The treants began to pull
vines from their foliage and started trying to entangle the three. "Have fun, Gulliver!" I murmured into my mike, and Kinto'un took off, away
from the mess...and hopefully to a spot I could regroup. Still....walking wounded meant I was probably going to be out soon. Ah well...still a chance for a
little more chaos first. I grinned as I zoomed down a corridor...and gave Woody Woodpecker's famous laugh, letting it echo in my wake.
Heh. Not TOO serious a threat, rob - more a distraction/annoyance, though if they get lucky and someone gets distracted, they might be able to take someone
down and tie him/her up. One of the treants is enclosing the mini holoemitter (the original acorn) that a couple of the AIs are using to drive the army. A
decent hit on a treant will disrupt it, and when you hit the emitter treant, the army goes *poof*. The main treant will then give you a bow and take itself
back to the Yggdrasil. *grin* I do find it amusing to use treants - oak ones, at that - against Leda, though.
I'll probably be out in the next posting or so for me. I've got one last trick I want to try, though....*snicker* And it might be interesting if
it's Ben that I run up against. Mainly because of his arm. Though I'm up for suggestions.
Edit - and yes....I can do Woody's laugh. Even in RL.
