Knowhere IC

She's probably not up for visitors, but I'm going to leave Shepard some flowers - anyone know where she is in the Med Bay area?


Also, Ryder, Kerrigan, how are you two holding up?

Shepard to Group, as a general Comms test prior to boarding the TARDIS

Alright, one more time to make sure everyone's clear on how this is going to go. As soon as we land, I'm first out the door. Sabo and Ryder, I want you hot on my heels. Lay down the fire and the biotic combinations heavy to clear as a hole. Kerrigan, Nebula, Meetra, we all form a circle around Rocket with Meetra using the force to, hopefully, give us a clear path that's going to line up with what the biologists and engineering experts have come up with for intel. You keep your fingers hot on the trigger and heavy on the sword swinging, but be care to keep the heat off Rocket and the bomb as much as possible. We move in tight groups, we stay together until we get to the brain, then it's everyone cover Rocket until he tells us it's time to go, then we go. I'll bring up the rear on the way out and we're all going to make a mad dash back to the TARDIS and get the hell out of there.

I'm not going to lie to any of you. I know this ship. I know it better than I want to. He's going to try to get in your head and I can only imagine, especially once Harbinger figures out what we're up to, he's not going to take it very easy on us at all. Fight smart. Drop back to the TARDIS if you don't think you can take a hit and keep rolling, there's no point you getting swarmed and coming in deeper if you're not going to be able to make the run back out. You watch your ammo, stay frosty, and no trying to hack the Reapers this time Ryder.

Everybody copy?

Shepard to Jyn:

You remember what I said the other day, you understand?

Shepard to Rose, Jack, and River:

You're our ride in and out and I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you what that means. We're going to do our best to stay loud and keep the focus on us, but you hold that ship as best you can and bug out if you think you're going to lose it. We've got secondary air support on standby for a reason. Just keep your comms open. If anyone gets hit too badly, we'll be keeping open comms and you'll have backup coming, hopefully with a clear path all the way back to you.

(OOC: I'll be putting up subthreads for OPEN Comms, Private Comms and general OOC discussion about how the strike teams go for the various groups if there's things that got left out or people wanted to add. Have fun everybody and don't hesitate to have your people go hog wild with this one!)

Alright people, it's been four days of hard fighting. I want to say we're doing well, but reports coming in from the ground say it's not looking good at all. I've put together a plan with the help of some of the people up here, something we think is at least going to give a shot at turning the tide of this battle in our favor. I know it's asking a lot, I know a lot of you up here and down there are exhausted and tired, I know we've got injured and sick, and if I didn't feel like we had no other choice but to do something drastic here, I wouldn't put this idea forward at all. We've all see what the Reapers can do now, what their plan is. They're harvesting people, they're wiping out this planet to try and make more of themselves and they're not going to stop. They're going to do this to more and more planets if we don't draw our line in the sand right here.

Which is why we're going to be taking a TARDIS inside a Reaper and blow that sonofabitch up from the inside out.

I can't say it's a safe plan. In fact, I can pretty much say that it's going to be the opposite of a safe plan, which is why I'm asking for volunteers to join me on a strike team. Combat experience is essential on this one people -- and I want to be real up front that we never tried anything like this before, not even when we were desperate back home. I can only imagine the things we're going to have to see and do in there so I want you all to think long and hard before you sign yourself up.

And does anybody have any idea who that giant ball of pyrotechnics was down there? Pairs nicely with my biotics and, in close quarters, I'm thinking he'd be a real pain in the ass for the Reapers to handle.

[ Rocket Racoon ]

You know, for a pain in my ass, you're a damn good card player and I'm going to owe you one when this is over and, speaking of when this is over, drinks are on me.

[ Jyn Erso ]

You be careful up there tomorrow okay?

I'm not going to try that again any time soon. But as soon as I'm cleared by the med team (thanks, by the way) I'll be out again.

Cosmo has bad news, very bad news. Continuum Cortext registered large scale fissure in open space. It is far from Knowhere, but things we identify as Reapers have come through the portal. These Reapers come from Cmdr. Shepard's universe. We don't know how this happen, only that it is.

I will allow Shepard to explain these Reapers, but we provide information about them to your tablets. The Guardians and myself are scramblink first response team. The Reapers attack planet with no self defense, we must evacuate and hold off Reapers. You are not required to fight. Cosmo does not tell you want to do, but if you want to help, meet at docks. We will take RIV to planet.

(OOC: You can assume that all the information outlined here has been sent to each character's tablets)

[The sound of static noise, interrupted by a man's voice. He sounds distant, like he's standing several feet away and talking at the device]



Oh, Hell's bells I miss the days when technology was simple.

I am way too old for this crap.

[Indistinguishable grumbling]

Uhh, mayday? I need Coke and a bottle of aspirin.

[More static cuts through]



And a shovel for horse-sized dog shit. Send help.

Not even a hangover. Actually starting to forget what getting drunk feels like. But at least it was a relaxing night, thanks for the sanity Shep. Forgot what that felt like.

[Dick]
I wanted to ask you how that Justice League thing works? Like...how'd it get started?

[Francis NA!Canon]
Feeling any better?

[Jyn and Sara]
Hey, so I've been the one crashing on your couch a bit. Figured I should officially say hi? I generally try to be out of your way by the time you guys are up but hey. I'm Barry Allen.

[Caitlin]
This planet has karaoke you know.

Figures, the fighting's done, the hard work happens, and my drinking partner's nowhere to be found. I can't be the only thirsty one out there.

Also, the upcoming Poker game's going to be a little different. I'd like to try and do something a bit more charitable, open the game up a little, I'm taking suggestions now if anyone's got them.

Back from my impromptu visit to Ba-Banis. 0 out of 5 stars. Do not recommend.

Room service was atrocious, or rather, non-existent. Room itself was cramped and had no comforts at all. Company was great, though. And the floor show upon leaving - fantastic.

Characters: Scott Lang (MCU Canon), Sara Ryder (Mass Effect Canon)
When/Where: Early hours of June 11th, Ba-Banis, holding cells (posting early so we can log)
Rating/Warnings: Fighting?
Status: in progress

Time is runnink out. Captain Rogers has provided intelligence to location of rest of missing peoples. Askink for two volunteers to head up mission to Ba-Bani homeworld and retrieve them. It will not be easy mission. Intelligence not 100% reliable, perhaps dangerous, but we have no more time to spare.

Situation report. Troyjan and Ba-bani have made a full retreat. We have no reported dead, but many injuries. The miners were not so lucky. Have report of at least 5 dead.

Children and noncombatants are safe. I protect them. We will rebuild.

What is I hear about kidnappink? Everyone, report in. We find who is missink.

Currently reported M.I.A:
- Steve Rogers
- Tim Drake
- Red Robin
- Rose Tyler
- Ororo Munroe

[ Open Comms ]

Well this was only a matter of time.

[ The comm message is punctuated by the sound of biotic explosions ]

Anyone who's available to come help hold the docks? We lose the docks the rest of the station's going to fold like a string of dominoes. Everybody keep your heads up and focus your fire, try and funnel into bottlenecks where you can. Noncombatants try and stay clear and make sure we've got people posted at medical, the barracks, the hovel and the dojo -- the last thing we need is the enemy getting their hands on more firepower.

And where the hell is Captain Rogers? Tell me there's at least someone out there coordinating resistance efforts?

[ Space Ladies (Ryder, Jyn, Kerrigan) + Meetra and Maya ]

You ladies keep kicking some serious ass out there, and keep me updated if you need reinforcements. Since it seems we're without any kind of functional leadership out there, don't be afraid to call out orders where you need them.

Remind me again never to complain about getting comfortable anywhere.

So. We've got an army outside the space head, and one that wants Cosmo to turn over the Guardians.probably outnumbered. Starting to get a case of Deja Vu all over again.

Sounds like we might need to hold off on this week's poker game but hey, we'll see how it goes.

[ GotG ]

Don't suppose I can get the short version as to why they want you to turn yourselves over can I?

Has anyone else been to this Museum with the Tivan Collection inside? I heard a bit about it on the networks, but I had to go and see it for myself. It's very hard to get inside. I don't think the collection is meant for the average viewer.

There are creatures of all sorts inside and they don't look too happy about being kept inside glass cages either. How is something like this allowed? Those creatures deserve to be living happy lives on their home planets, not eating pellet food for every meal.

So. Learning to pilot a ship via thought. Guess that's something I can add to the resume, hard to complain about trans-dimensional travel when that happens.

[ Cosmo ]

So. Being fair, this ship is huge. I've consulted with Barnes about it and, given the fact that it has greenhouses and could help with food production and provide safety for a great number of people if they need it, we were thinking it would be better to turn the ship over to you and Knowhere in general. I'd be happy to give piloting lessons -- it's not that hard once you get the hang of it -- but, given the nature of how the ship is piloted, I was wondering if you had a potential list of candidates I could tap? Those with strong mental aptitude and focus, like yourself I would imagine, should be close to top of the list. If you think this might be of interest to you, let me know.

And how awesome is it I'm talking about turning the first dog into space into a pilot. Or talking to the first dog in space?

[ Jyn & Ryder ]

How would you feel about a tour and maybe a short joyride out in space before I turn this thing over to our canine-in-chief?

[ Barnes ]

I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate you letting me put my hands on that thing.

I don't even care how many bad jokes and one-liners that opens me up to.

I suppose since I've got my stuff I should stop poking at this thing. Metal base, glowy blue, bad jokes. If no one claims it it's going in my cabinet.

At this rate, I might not even need a job here. I appreciate everyone coming out to play cards tonight. It was a good time. We'll do another one next week, maybe even a tournament every once in awhile. I'll also be offering lessons to those of you who need them.

Don't worry Rocket, I'll give you a chance to win your money back.
