A' L L U K I N - chapter 5

• Wooli:
  
Indroduce everyone.



  COMMAND: WOOLI: But do NOT wake up the CAT.



<WOOLI>

All right, let properly introduce you to Team Four and Team Three.


First, you know this one as Wooli the Security High Guard of Elamion insect species. The human with robotic leg prosthesis on the couch, that's Benard.


<MADDOX>

Yo again, Ben

<BENARD>

Hey, long time no see! Nice STEEL LEG you got there now.


<MADDOX>

Arrrg, thanks.


<WOOLI>

And that spider gal over there by the door is our Junior Engineer, Ka-Ley the Arachnid. Her legs are huge and awkward now, probably from mutation. No, she's not THE Engineer. And that female Slink snake with neck scars is scientist/observer who goes by Um. She's talking with her newly found male counterpart, Zuun. I dunno why they're so long now... Mutation, perhaps.


<TEYRI>

Oooohhh...


<UM THE SNAKE>

Can you not be in my perpetual visions, please? I am having discussion with this overly ambitious young man...


<WOOLI>

And the lizard beast Anien the Slinder is resting on the floor over there.


<ENER>

Hi, cute lizard. Wanna hug?


<ANIEN>

I would love to if I wasn't so damn tired all the time...


<WOOLI>

And last of all, the very deadly cat ninja fighter who's also part of our Security team. She's known as Fling the Fel. Please don't wake her up or else we suffer in her CLAWS OF FURY. And that's all of the Team Four and Team Three. Of course, this is the only tiny few out of the entire hive... I mean ship's population, which is consisted of hundreds of crew members, personnel, and Participants. This one's best instincts is that most of them are also coming toward THIS checkpoint, by your truly THE Engineer.

Alamos.

• Maddox:

  Ask what flings mutation is.

  Ener:

  Go to quo and deliver the orange box of mystery and possible impending doom.

arkla

• also, why hasn't teyri washed the blood off her fur? :O

Alamos.

• also, why hasn't teyri washed the blood off her fur? :O



  (because when she does, more just bleeds out of her mouth.)

[- ak -]

• Maddox:
  
Ask what flings mutation is.



<MADDOX>

Hey, what's Fling's mutation? BIG FUCKING CLAWS?


<FLING THE FEL>

hisssssss...


<WOOLI>

Ssshhh… *whispers* Big mouth filled with fucking razor teeth. And stop talking so loudly! You want her to get mad?


<MADDOX>

Oh, sorry.

• 
Ener:

  Go to quo and deliver the orange box of mystery and possible impending doom.



Ener had enough of fun with the animal friends as he plod into Quo's Office. Time to deliver the ORANGE BOX and find out about the whole Situation once and for all.





Unsurprisingly, it just the way as they left: big office filled with coins that Quo didn't have any care in the world about. And also not surprising is that the fat slug is still stuck in its molted unbreakable shell.


And he's sleeping, just like before.

Anteroinen

• COMMAND: MADDOX: ASK WOOLI about what he knows about the near past.

Alamos.

• Ener:
  
Nose-poke quo to wake him up, then show him TEH EPICZ ORANGZ BOD

Vurn

• Ener: Bargain.

[- ak -]

• COMMAND: MADDOX: ASK WOOLI about what he knows about the near past.



<MADDOX>

Hey, Wooli. I been meaning to ask... What you know about your near past?


<WOOLI>

My near past? Of what?


<MADDOX>

*Sigh*… what do you remember BEFORE the Situation occurred?


<WOOLI>

Well... This one was with Doctor Dodd and his assistant Sol. I was supposed to escort them to safe location in Section A, but we were attacked. I... ran away. The abdomen between these legs, if you will...


<MADDOX>

And I thought cockroaches are suppose to brave.


<WOOLI>

DON'T CALL ME A... Gotta stay quiet, can't wake up the cat. Relying on stereotypes much, eh ASSFACE?


<MADDOX>

Damn that bloody Ooth... So what happened afterward?


<WOOLI>

Well... This one doesn't remember. That's as far as these thoughts could take me.


<MADDOX>

Bummer. Hey, wait. Where's Ener? And where's the ORANGE BOX?!


<WOOLI>

Ssshhh!!! And ORANGE BOX?


You found ORANGE BOX???

• Ener:
  
Nose-poke quo to wake him up, then show him TEH EPICZ ORANGZ BOD



He couldn't resists :3











<QUO>

And if that's your attempt at our kind of humor, you surely and sorely failed cause I am not laughing.


<ENER>

Uuuhhh, not really…


<QUO>

And I don't really appreciate your disturbing my nap.

AGAIN.
And myself am surprised that you're back quite so soon. Troubles?


<ENER>

Actually, it's the opposite :3



<QUO>

G... Gu... Guh?


<MADDOX>

ENER!!! Your screaming ruffled Fling up and got us within her CLAWS OF FURY! Don't make me drag you to Kelen when she's finished with the injuries... Hey, what are you doing with that ORANGE BOX?


<BACKGROUND CHATTERS>

- wait, did he say ORANGE BOX?

- and they have it?!

- no way, it can't be.

- as if anyone could fight through those hellish Section B and C!

- that box must be a fake, just to trick Quo...


<QUO>

Uuhh... wait. This surely can't be quite so true and easy... what's the catch?

[- ak -]

Mr. Officer

• Ener: Open Orange Box and show us the epicness of teh contents

Vurn

• Ener: Open the box and miserably look at the contents: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episode One, Half-Life 2 Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2 video games.

Anteroinen

• COMMAND: ENER: ENSURE QUO that the orange box really is the ORANGE BOX.

[- ak -]

• COMMAND: ENER: ENSURE QUO that the orange box really is the ORANGE BOX.



<ENER>

Uuuhhh...

I PROMISE that this is the REAL ORANGE BOX we found in Section B. See the handwritings on it?


FOR QUO!





<QUO>

Oh.

Oh?

OH!
Oh...


I recognized that handwriting. And the specifically bland packaging. This is indeed my actual ORANGE BOX.


<BACKGROUND CHATTERS>

- WHAT?!
- So maybe we will learn everything after all?
- I hope so...
- Just who are these guys!!!

• 

Ener: Bargain.



<ENER>

OOOOOHHHHHH Quoooooooo :3


<QUO>

I do not like the sounds of it.


<ENER>

Its bargaining time >:3


<QUO>

For I, me, and myself? That would be quite fun.


<ENER>

Umm... what?


<QUO>

Oh comon, it was a joke. Get it?


<ENER + MADDOX + EVERYONE ELSE>
NO.

<QUO>

Oh phooey. All of you guys and gals seriously lack our sense of humor and fun... Just try and lighten up after everything that had happened to you.


<ENER>

Ha ha ha. NOT. I want you to spill everything you know about the Situation and what to do to get out of this mess! Also, we want to know what the Experiments and the Technology are!


<QUO>

I am not sure how much I could be remember... and beside, lot of your requests are CONFIDENTIAL at best. Only myself, Doctor Dodd, and Arron Kenneth know about them.


<MADDOX>

Wait, Doctor Dodd knew about that?! Why didn't he tell us?


<QUO>

Probably he didn't remember... but that a steep price to ask of me, Fuzzy.


<ENER>

That's Flurry to you :3 Or I can just leave you alone and weld the door shut and forget this whole thing ever happens.


<QUO>

I can tolerate that.


<ENER>

Or... we can give you the whole credits for planning our daring heroic escape. Evening news, autobiography, and everything. Can't say NO to that.


<MADDOX>

Umm that's kind of silly offer, Ener. Quo's not that...


<QUO>

Sure.


<MADDOX>

OH THAT CAN'T BE THAT EASY...


<ENER>

All right!!!


<QUO>

Ok, open that ORANGE BOX and show me what's in it.

• 
Ener: Open Orange Box and show us the epicness of teh contents



And then Ener proceed to open the ORANGE BOX and...


Well...

He's not amazed or disgusted by the so-called "epiciness contents."

More like dumbfounded.
