Ready to work its way up!


Recommended Posts

The pipes burn more slowly than Clyst had expected, though the spots where his acidic aura touches the older pipes melt quickly. It only takes a few seconds before whatever mechanism had been responsible for the pressing is disabled. Clyst can continue up, and exit out of the ducts into a laboratory. The grate to the ducts is smaller than usual - bugs probably couldn't get through, but Clyst is able to squeeze himself through with some effort.


The plasma big-screen TV in the lobby changes to the face of an elderly gentleman. He looks very intelligent, and as he looks around the lobby, a camera folds up from behind the TV and looks around in the same manner.

"Code yellow," he says. "Percy, what did the extraterrestrial look like?"

The guard reddens as his real name is used. "Sort of like a greenish blob, like the movie maybe. Came up to his knees," he says, pointing to Kevin, "about as wide at the bottom."

The camera swivels to Kevin. "And you're the young man who brought him in. Did he..." the man cuts off. "He's melting the defense mechanisms. Young man, answer quickly. Does he pose a threat?"

Kevin doesn't hesitate. "No. He's curious about people with superpowers. He probably thinks that... well, that you pose a threat to him."

The face looks at Kevin for a second and then the yellow lights stop flashing. It turns to Percy. "Escort this man upstairs. He seems to have a rapport with him. Keep the containment team on ready status, but don't send them up. I need to redesign the scanners. They appear too much like weapons."

Percy nods, "Aye aye, Dr. Atom." Dr. Atom's face blinks out, and the TV returns to whatever it had previously been showing. Percy looks at Kevin with a bit of an annoyed expression and says, "Come with me."


In the lab, the yellow lights which had been flashing shut off. A door opens, and a young man who somewhat resembles Kevin (though even taller and stronger) comes out.

"Hello? I'm Max Atom, and my granddad said that someone had come up to see us..." he trails off as he looks around the lab.

Clyst noticed the flashing yellow lights, but has no real idea what they mean. He is being very wary right now in this building, since it tried to do something to him, like maybe eat him?

He moves slowly (1d20+10=30), very very stealthily behind a lab bnech and does not respond, wanting to see what this human does. He does turn off his acid aura before moving as to not leave a trail of destroyed machines in his wake. But he keeps his power there, in case he has to fight.

Max looks around the lab, lifting up a piece of lab equipment to check around it. He puts that down, then grows to about 9 feet tall. His clothes stretch proportionately to him, and he uses both hands to lift up another, larger piece of equipment. He is nowhere near Clyst, and it doesn't appear that he'd find him even if he spent a long time looking around.

He places his hand on his collar as he shrinks back down to his normal height of 6 feet. "Tes, doesn't look like he's down here. He might have kept going up the pipe."

A young woman's voice answers him, "That's not what the scanner said. Unless he hid himself from that as well, he's somewhere on your floor. Try not to scare him. Remember, you look pretty scary when you get big."

Max sighs, "Yes, I know. Thank you, Tes." He touches his collar again.

Clyst watches him from around a pillar, only enough of his body to hold his visual cells stuck around and watching Did it just get bigger? the human.

Clyst is surprised it got bigger so fast as it thought that it took a lot of eating to get biger. But may this thing has powers. Interesting anotehr one/

So Clyst sends out a mental call, "I'm watching you. What are you going to do?"

Maximus looks around quickly, trying to figure out where the voice is coming from. Clyst can note that his reaction is almost exactly the same as Kevin's, though Maximus is looking more on the ground than Kevin did. He is silent for a moment, then speaks out loud.

"Well... depends on whether you're friendly or not. I don't really like it when people break into my house and threaten me, so I'd suggest being friendly," he says.

Then Clyst hears a voice within his mind, much like his voice sounds in the minds of others. It sounds like a younger boy, and carries an element of shouting, "Hello there! Can you hear me?"

Clyst is surprised at the unprovoked hostility the human is showing him. He has done nothing, and threatened nothing. He did not even send out a warning tinge of cold or hat. JSut hide and observe. And tell the truth. After all, he was watching him, just saying he was aware of him. Clyst decides to get away from the angry human and heads for the same vent he used before.

So he sneaks away (1d20+10=29)

OOC: WOW, better to be lucky than good.

As the melliable seeker sneaks through the pipes, he once again hears a voice inside his mind. It's like Kevins, only higher, "Calling all aliens. This is Chase, broadcasting on every frequency. Come in! Over." The pipes continue on every way, and no other defences can yet be seen, but that doesn't mean that they aren't there.


Kevin

Kevin endures a long, awkward elevator ride with the guard, Percy, before the elevator opens onto a large loft. Ceiling to floor windows bathe the room in light, and the open space is filled with all manner of scientific equipment. The elderly gentlemen turns to them as they enter - he was previously looking over some kind of odd microscope with a younger woman. The elderly gentleman comes toward Kevin, "There you are..." He turns to Percy, "He's clean?", "He's clean, Doctor.". The old man smiles, "Great. Ok, we've got your friend sneaking around the pipes here, and we don't want to hurt him. What have you got? What can you tell us? Does he eat? Need sustanance?" The woman looks on from a distance.

After getting safely in the tubes and away from the angry human, Clyst looks around ,his visual cells moving up and down the long length of his body and trying to see in the dim light.

Then, deciding ihe is more or less safe, he replies, "I am...." but then stops, as I'm listening to you" might be a threat to the humans, as the other one seemed to think so.

So he then continues, "I am here.

"I, uh, well, really just met him a little while ago. He said he was interested in meeting others with powers - he sounded like he had powers that whatever he is usually don't have. He could speak in my head, so maybe that's his power.

The eating stuff, I'm not so sure about. I mean, he looks like something from under a microscope, or the Blob. They eat, don't they?" Kevin says. He grimaces a little, then continues quickly.

"It's sort of my fault that he ran off. I think he thought that I was saying it was dangerous. I just wanted to make sure he didn't get contained and studied or something."
