Annie

Acquiring a Swiss army knife, she proceeded to unscrewing the bolts of the ventilation cap. Since the facility was rather cheaply and quickly made, the bolts were not tight, and so Annie was able to remove them.

“Where the hell’s security?” a worker pleaded.

“Damn Binary Helix guards, they never do what they’re told!” another whined.

Vent cap open, Annie could now enter the vents.

* * *

While in the vents somewhere, Annie overheard electric noises. It sounded like something bad was happening, but had no way to know what it was so far. If she found ventilation grills somewhere, she may be able to observe what was going on, or simply continue sneaking through the vents.





X7A

She had quite a few issues already: Gabriel’s odd tastes, the deliberate disobedience of the officer... Clearly, those running and guarding the facility did not care about it. She would have to press on even though the guards were not distracted by anything, though their negligent behaviour had some advantages for her.

“Roger that.” Michael quietly radioed back, “I will be initiating a feedback surge soon, just give me a few moments. I will amplify their communications electronics as high as possible, that’s sure to cause some issues. Almost done...” he continued.

Meanwhile, X7A remained out of sight; there was plenty of hiding spots amidst the stacks of crates and containers, some of which X7A scanned were explosive, flammable or filled with volatile chemicals.
Then... no patrol was present thus far.
Then... a few crates here and there began shaking a little. Nearby, one crate’s top opened, and some sort of robot emerged. It looked like:


At several other sections in this floor, scanners detected bandwidth growing, and presumably, more of such robots were emerging from various crates. X7A overheard shouting followed by gunfire, which began echoing. Gunfire was a mix of bullets as well as hissing bursts.

since YouTube does not have this song, here it is elsewhere:

“There, got it.” Michael’s voice returned, and that was when he delivered the feedback pulse. The surge travelled throughout X7A’s floor, not affecting her, overloading ADVs’ communications by amplifying them as much as possible, zapping them as well as deafening them. Curiously enough, the surge jumped into the robot, but it was not disabled. Various lighting and electronics also were somewhat affected, but still functional.

KRRRK Gabe, what the fuck is going on there? Technician squad Sigma, head to Communications, see what the hell’s going on!” the facility’s intercom shouted, distorted with static and noise.

Nevertheless, the surge would last up to three minutes, or possibly more if the technicians failed to reach Communications. X7A’s scanners concluded that one of the robots would have a 4/10 chance to intercept the technicians, stalling them momentarily.

The first robot that appeared approached X7A’s hiding spot, strange rifle pointing forwards. After she dealt with the thing, she could proceed towards her destination. If she was quick, she may even be able to reach the mainframe before the ADVs regained their senses. X7A’s scanners detected unstable signals, unsurprisingly, but she could still tap into whatever system she wanted if she had to.



Inferi,
Deal with the Geth Trooper however you wish, then continue on with X7A’s mission. Note that the statistics of the previous turn are still in play, but the feedback surge will last at least one more turn.

The ADVs are debilitated, and so are easy targets for the Geth or X7A as long as it lasts. If you like, you can control this scene partly, and deal with a patrol however you wish even while controlling them and the Geth, but this is optional.

London

Suddenly, the door swung open, sandwiching it against the wall.

“What the hell are those things?” one of the people shouted, the Turian janitor still not paying any attention to anything.

“Don’t know! Some sort of robot! I’m locking the door!” another cried, closing and locking the door.

As London slid down the wall, she overheard strange beeping, clicking and whirring noises from the hallway, followed by gunfire. Something was definitely going on.

The facility’s intercom shrieked active, a man yelling: “ KRRRK Gabe, what the fuck is going on there? Technician squad Sigma, head to Communications, see what the hell’s going on!”
Indeed, something dangerous had just occurred.

“Who the hell is that?” one of the men asked, pointing at London.

“Wait, shh! I think I hear something coming!” the previous person exclaimed. Metallic footfall sounded, heading down the hallway.

“Ok, OK, shh, shh! Just, be quiet!” one of the guys cried, then the Turian’s Ipod started making repeat explosions, high-pitched grunts, and piggish laughing,

“AW, FUCK!” the Turian janitor shouted, and then whatever was outside, made a loud whirring noise and began firing through the door. Blue pulses of plasma or something pierce into the room, leaving holes in the door, then spattering against the back wall. The men ducked, the janitor continued playing Angry Birds, and then...





Noah Hawkins

Having finished the day’s school and the day’s work at his parent’s register, Noah fought off some bullies easily enough, saving some Japanese girls from the maws of evil, too. Those he saved squealed with joy as their hero went his way. As he was about to go home or somewhere or something, suddenly, out of nowhere, he was hit by a vehicle, interrupting whatever he was about to do.

“Aw, shit!” the driver shouted, who happened to be a reddish Salarian, van skidding to a stop. Several people gathered, too stupid and too shocked to do anything but gawp.

The Salarian stepped out his black van and went over to Noah, who was struck unconscious instantly. The Salarian used his omni-tool to scan Noah, detecting that Noah was quite a powerful individual somehow. “Hm, seems to be a Metamorph. Can sell him for quite a lot of credits.” the Salarian remarked, then threw Noah over his shoulder and put him in his van.

With Noah were three other youngsters: London, Lonny, and Lucy, though he had no way to notice. The Salarian then drove off, making his escape...

* * *

Sometime that following night, Noah awoke. He was in a dark concrete room somewhere. Unbeknownst to him, this room was part of rather shoddy, underground compound. The room had glass windows overlooking an android-manufacturing facility, producing and transporting LOKI Mechs.

By the looks of it, several personnel took cover behind various obstacles, such as computer terminals and crates. Beyond the closed door leading to this room, Noah could overhear gunfire and shouts, as well as loud static noises. Wherever he was, things just went from bad to worse.

Some pulses of blue stuff struck his door, popping holes in it and destroying the locking mechanism. If he was unable to use any of his powers, he would at least be able to exit his room and see what was going on.



George,
Few by few, Geth are emerging from crates transported into the facility. The Geth consist of Troopers, Hunters (Noah can’t notice these), and a few Hoppers, and are opening fire against ADVs, who have been debilitated by a feedback surge.

Some ADVs (advanced soldiers equipped in full-body armour and modern firearms), disoriented by the feedback, have been killed by the Geth. One has been killed nearby Noah’s door outside.

Various personnel are fleeing in panic at this floor, but it is likely the panic will spread throughout the facility, which consists of as many floors as there are letters.

It was just another day in the life of Noah - ordinary high school student extraordinaire. He'd, as usual, failed to pay enough attention in class, witnessed some bullying going on after school and put a swift stop to it with his now bruised fists, went about doing his part time job and even put a stop to the harassment of a few girls who went to his school. What were their names? Yukari, Miki... Ogawa? There were a lot of weird names, but with his duty done he started making his way home, then everything quite sharply went black when something smashed into his side.

-

Waking up wasn't pleasant. As consciousness returned to him Noah groaned with pain, his head feeling like it'd been hit by a truck while his body... Well, yeah, kind of the same deal. It was bruised and sore, but nothing seemed to be broken, so despite the aches in his limbs the teenager pushed himself up to his feet - only to realize he was in some kind of concrete room. What the hell?

Frowning he walked (well, slightly limped) over to one of the windows embedded into the concrete, stretching his arms and cracking his spine with a deep sigh of relief in the process, and peered out only to find some kind of unfamiliar factory-like place. Some machines looked like they were making mechs of some kind, transporting parts along conveyer belts to some other place - really he didn't know anything about machinery so this was kind of beyond him.

" Hey, assholes! Open this door and let me out of here! " He shouted as he reached the door, slamming a bruised fist against the surface with only a slight wince. Noah had officially no idea what was going on here, and that confusion didn't clear up when he started to hear noises coming from beyond the door. There were people shouting, some kind of... Static-like noise, kind of like when the holo-monitor back at his apartment was getting bad signal, and something less familiar that he recognized as gunfire. What was going on out there?! He had to get out of

this room and see-

" WHOA! " Noah jumped back as holes were put into the door, some kind of weird blue stuff on the edges of them slowly smouldering away at the surface. Were those some of those energy weapons he'd heard some stuff about? One stray shot blasted the lock on the door. Freedom! Without concern for the firefight going on outside the teenager stepped up and slammed his foot against the door, throwing it wide open and taking in his new surroundings.

It was a lot like a movie he'd seen last week.

Robots using guns that fired that weird stuff were shooting at a bunch of people, a bunch who he could see were running wild - panicking and fleeing, where others in armour with guns of their own were either trying to shoot back or looked really out of it. Even from here he could see some of the armoured people were lying scattered around, unmoving, almost certainly dead. One, in fact, was just a couple of steps away from where Noah now stood - holes torn through his armour and into his body, gun discarded beside his corpse.

It was easily the most terrifying and dangerous situation the boy had ever been involved in. So, he did what any young boy should do in this kind of life or death situation.

" You damn chump robots, what do you think you're doing?! " With an exclamation of righteous indignation Noah charged the nearest Geth Trooper - which was actually really close to him - and reared back his fist to punch the robot right in its stupid glowing eye.

Annie pulled off the lose grate that was on the vent. She put her head into the vent and heard an electric noises. She was terrified of what she heard inside the vent but, knew that was her way out. She bravely went inside the vent but, before she even went an inch she closed the grate on the vent so, no one would know she was in there. She stared to crawl threw the vent to escape and find out what's really going on. She hopes that she find one of the ventilation grills somewhere to see what's really going on here. -Dances-

Character: Antagonistic Super Soldier.
Type: Biotic Super Soldier
Story: I AM THE STORY!
Name: Remember this name, puny lesser – my name is Ryder.
Gender: You think a woman could possess a bod as grand as I? I’m male, you dolt.
Age: I’m 21 of your puny earth rotations. Ha, what a rudimentary way of telling time.

Appearance:
Interested in my appearance, are you? It’s okay, it’s only natural to be interested in a superior being such as myself. *smirks*

I’m what you people would call an albino; white hair, red eyes and pale skin. I shave every day, and my body is chiselled from long years of training. AND DON’T YOU DARE MOCK MY HEIGHT. I’LL SPLATTER THE WALLS WITH YOUR INNARDS IF YOU DO.

Psychology:
Hmph. Meaningless prattle. Don’t waste my time. Look, I know you’re dense, but even you should realise my greatness. Nobody in the universe compares to me. Now get out of my face before I kill you.

Equipment:
I don’t need guns, just my biotic abilities and my own two fists. I wear a ballistic vest to give the primates reason to think they can hit me. Ha, that’ll be the day.

Special:
Tch! You have the nerve to ask what’s special about ME, you primate? Compared to you, every part of me is special. In my eyes, it’s you lesser races that are feeble beyond compare. You lack strength, possess mediocre biotics at best and worst of all, you all lack any measure of honour or backbone. Your bodies are feeble and flimsy and take too long to repair. None of you have any of my talent in single combat, and worst of all… you’re all so slow and IDIOTIC! It’s a wonder how your races have lived until now, honestly.

Other:
What, you need MORE information? WEREN’T YOU LISTENING? Tch, it’s hard to get good help these days.

Perks
- Action Boy MAN. Are you calling me short? I'LL KILL YOU.
- Ultra-Dense Muscles
- Bloodthirsty
- Die Hard
-Colourful Personality
- Eye for an Eye
- To the Last Gasp


History:
I’m short on time and you’re short on wits, so I’ll try to keep this short and easy to comprehend. You see, my Pa was an ambitious man who sought to create a being beyond the scopes of human limits. He succeeded, creating me and my brethren. We were super soldiers, the pinnacle of what any organic race could ever hope to match. Stronger. Smarter. Faster. We were trained hard and studied hard. There was nothing we couldn’t do if we set our minds to it.

Unfortunately, the lesser race came to know of and fear us and they lynched us out of fear. Unfortunately, Pa was weak and took his research to the grave, and many of my brethren have been lost. At least, that was the story I was told. I suspect there is more afoot, but for now, I work as a dog for the Government to covertly kill the insurgents. I enjoy my work.

It is no matter. I shall kill anyone in my way, so that one day I shall rule over this world. Upon that day, the scheming weasels cowering in the prestige of the old world will know fear as I tear them apart limb from bloody limb.

London

“Ow Ow Ow Ow…” London whimpered, clutching their nose as they slid down the wall. Getting hit in the face by a door really hurt! Locking their forehead against their knees, London slowly looked up to see several men working the door.

One made a pointed comment at London, to which London opened their mouth to reply…

“Wait, shh! I think I hear something coming!” one of the newcomers exclaimed.

London heard it too, the sound of mechanical clunks on the floor. The sound didn’t make any sense to London; whatever could it be? It was then that London remembered their mouth was still open; were they about to say something?

“Ok, OK, shh, shh! Just, be quiet!” one of the guys cried, then the Turian’s Ipod started making repeat explosions, high-pitched grunts, and piggish laughing. Apparently he had made some sort of game winning play that caught the attentions of everyone in the room sans London, for as he looked about the room, he caught curious a glimpse of the Cyber Frog hanging on the roof.

The Turian yelled as a bolt of plasma passed through the room, fizzing just centimetres from London’s face as the volley made its way from the door through the brickwork.

That was… lucky? And if London was honest, kind of pretty. What was going on?
