Knowhere IC

Now that I'm out of the hospital, it's come to my attention that we really, really need a barn around here. Newt's doing a great job, but I hate to have to keep putting my chocobo in a suitcase asking him to put up my bird when I should be taking responsibility for her, you know?

Has anyone seen Alex Danvers, by any chance?

Has anyone seen Cassie Sandsmark? She's not answering her phone.

I heard there was quite a fight just recently against undead bionic creatures that use their victims bodies as hosts? And, we're on a giant space head. With a talking ball of fur.

Must be Thursday.

Sif To Group, including the TARDIS and Secondary pilots, just prior to boarding:

Today, we shall teach these Reapers a series of very important lessons about challenging worlds beyond their strength. I expect each and every one of you to fight valiantly. We will protect Lady Bloodstone while we make our way through this metal beast. We will slay and stop any enemy who seeks to harm her or prevent us from completing the task set before us. Today we shall slay this giant and show it how its size matters not, that it will not stand in the face of our combined strength.

Let us fight together, let our deeds and actions be worthy of the songs and legends attached to what we will do this day. Let us take back this planet, let us avenge it's fallen, and let us send a strong message to these Reapers that we will not stand for such vile plots. Let us show them that, should they ever seek to set their talons upon any other world, that we will be ready for them, that we have learned their weaknesses, and we will exploit them without hesitation.

It will be both a privilege and honor to fight with you all, to feast with you proper when this battle is done, and to drink to our deeds this day.

Now, let us go forth and fell a giant.

It appears there is a plan being made as an alternate means of fighting these great monsters from the inside out. I cannot say it is an ideal plan, but it seems clear to me our current means of engagement are not proving to be effective at stopping these Reapers. Let us hope this plan serves us better than what we have been doing because I worry that there will not be much of this planet left at all if we do not do something do soon.

It was been suggested that teams be put together and I have volunteered to serve as a leader for one of these groups. We are currently in need of bodies who will help fill the ranks and it would be considered of exceptional benefit should at least one of you have some knowledge in explosives.

[ Lady Torunn, Lady Diana, Lady Kara ]

Being more than familiar with all of you, I would personally like to invite you to join me in this battle. This is no place for mere mortals if it is avoidable and, as I can only imagine the nightmare will be worse once we are inside, I would prefer only those capable who are less likely to be injured to join me.

[the sound of crackling static, a few small explosions, then a banshee's screaming. the audio crackles again and there's the noise of heavy breathing, castiel's voice sounds gruffer than usual]

What is this and how do you kill it?

[more audio static, louder banshee screaming follows]

Why, this is like fighting dragonspawn! [she sounds weirdly delighted by this] If only the rest of Destiny's Edge were here.

I go to battle these Reapers. When there is no hope to be found, one must summon the strength to create it. I have seen gods rise and fall. I have seen mortal men and women endure what they thought must surely be the end of the world. There is courage in this strange place. I am honored to fight beside those who wield it.

[ooc: Cue theme music.]

Er, hello?

My name is Clark Kent. I arrived yesterday, but I was trying to get adjusted to things before hitting this network. Space is colder than Smallville.

Not precisely how I intended to spend my vacation, but I suppose there are worse destinations. My name is Diana Prince. I understand that a number of the current guests have been in this place for some time now. Perhaps you might be kind enough to offer some guidance on how best to proceed?
