Empress-General, you want I should hack this door?
...the impish--and tempting--suggestion comes from the mecha-multi-tool section of jade's wrist com. Wryly smiling
If only...!
jade disables the 'bot with a voice command.
I don't think this is the sort of door you could hack. What we could use is some leverage power, as Du seems to have attempted. I don't want to ruin the blade of my sword...what else do we have?

Comming up on the others, I see what appears to be a non yelding door and Jade eyeing up the Odka-crayon as if it were some sort of pry bar... Hold up girlfriend, allow me~
The others back as far away
as the passage will allow, causing a wry grin to cross my face. First, using
the crayon, each is given an extra large beverage, and advised to consume said
drink wrapped in the protective folds of their robes. I allow my mind to wander,
*like thats hard to do* and I find myself infront of the lab door, searching
for 13lastech... reaching for the lab door...
GET OUT OF OUR WAY
The door disintegrates, leaving a very unhappy guard in a heap on the ground. We all shrug, and I say 'Ooooops' as we step over the stinky thing, Jade mentioning she has now lost her appetite for Kentucky Fried Barnacles sending laughter echoing through the entire tunnel... suddenly the gnashing sound is heard once again, louder and more intense reminding me of a dentist office.

Momentairly forgetting their training, we are covered in fuzzles, save one, that is intent on chewing through the bars on the cage that held him captive. Or is he simply filing his teeth? Ummmmmmmmm, Jade???
Suddenly, *and foolishly I might add* the E=MC2 eyed pirate tries to breach sobriety, and groans. More then ready to fight, I raise my hand, and pause... the noise has stopped, and a very angry metal munching fuzzeleth is toddling toward the unsuspecting drunkard, his teeth filed just... about... right...
The others snap to something that could resemble 'Attention', and turn as well. Jade and Tru, who's faces betray the pride they have over their troops nod ever so slightly, and suddenly the unaware pirate is no longer going to be called anything more then a "Use to call me Lucky" mate...
Realizing that the best place for me to be is sipping a cold one, and watching the show, I reach into my deepest pocket for my flask. ISH! What the... oh yeah, I put Cin-Bell-O in there for safe keeping... bringing this new creation out, I place it behind several protective locks of hair. You're safe here.

*Still in this strange underwater

Shown is a slightly digitized image of some steel bars. As I watch, the scene
rotates to show several of EFM performing a flurry of attacks, one of whom appears
to be chewing on someone's arm. A burst of static cuts across the channel, and
a moment later the screen goes blank.*
What was that?
*I inquire of no-one in particular. A voice from the machinery behind me replies:*
I don't know . . . We picked it up on one of your comm frequencies. It's awfully
low to the ground whatever it is.
*I think for a minute.*
Are we able to trace the data line down to somewhere?
*There is a brief pause, then:*
Yes, maybe if LE ran a modulated-scan, we could pick up a locater tone. I assume
you have something like that built in?
*I nod. Something to my left kicks into gear with an audible hum. A monitor
above the old one lights up with an infrared picture of several small orange
glows darting about several larger ones. In moments, the larger slow to a cool
yellow and the orange moves on. I am about to open a Cherry Coke when I notice
that I am holding it upside-down . . . The bottom is decorated with a green
"X", and I smile to myself.*
Do you think I could arrange to have something delivered to them?

Three cheers for the Odka-Crayon (and those bright enough to use it )!
It then, suddenly, dawns upon me that we have one more left to save.
Tugging lightly on Jade's and Laurie's robes - though they both seem to be temporarily smothered in Fuzzleness - I clear my throat and mutter "What about E?"
Pink seems to overhear me, as does Tru, and they both nod in agreement. Walking over towards my Sprocket and Gidget (I've missed you guys!!!!) and popping them comfortably into my pocket (with a bit of "Thanken Vess fer reskyus" - aww) I glance around for any sign of which way E's cell might be.

Well, you can't blame me, can you, these fuzzy lumps of wonder are just too much fun to watch.
In any case, I take a deep breath, straighten my posture ('tenTION!) and walk determinedly towards that same door, hands in pockets with a Fuzzle bite on either pointer finger. And Fuzzle attached. *gooing affectionately* I loove these guys

A faint quackquackquackquackquack rings inside my head... something in the guild? Quackers? Once inside the next room, I try my comm unit, hopeful for a view of my SGD... What I see is our beloved Domestic, looking frazzled at a variety of barrels and bottles.
Domestic, you may wish to rethink the consumption capacity for some of us... there, there, you shall have all the assistance needed, I give you my word of Odka...
My hair begins to spark and Cin-Bell-O softly blurb-hic's from its perch on my shoulder. I gently place it back in my inner pocket, just as a precaution. Altho the rainbow of colors is still present on it, the dark royal blue is becomming more and more dominant, and I know there is a purpose for this tiny creature, and it is my job to watch out for it. Hopefully Quackers will do the same, once we reach home.

Jumping up and nearly hitting my head on the ceiling, I run over and joyously give her a big fat huggle, overexcited to see our dear one and now, with adrenaline rushing, Fuzzles on fingers, and various other odd weapon possibilities, I am all the more anxious to find our culprit.
But wait, does E have any further info'mation? Any known weaknesses to this fellow, or perhaps, other secrets?
Looking questioningly around I see Laurie patting her newly found, um, pet, Pink holding up the very large Odka-crayon and being practically mauled by.. oh, yes, looks like she's found her own Minyun!, E shaking off a few of her own, Tru readying for battle and Jade hiking up her camo pants, I am left wondering how best to prepare for this gigantic fight. No worries, though, as I pull my paint-striped hair back, roll up my sleeves and re-tie my Kombatboots, I grin almost devilishly, and start to let off a bit of a mistish lavender-yellow glow.
Looking at my Fuzzles I gently remove them from my fingers and place them in my pockets, assuring them that everything will be fine and we will rid ourselves of the bad man.
And so, wand in hand, steel toes itchin' for a good kick, hair away from my face and yellowish all over... I'm ready to go!

Watching Jade to the rescue and Tru right behind 'er, I rush over to the edge next to Pink and Ino and look downwards. There, kicking and slashing at the rather large beast are our fighters, who have pushed ever so delicately our E to the side and are acting as protectors AND aggressors simultaneously - LOL - the beasty doesn't know what's going on.
Looking a little past the beast in question I see some rather odd-looking thorny plants which it's attempting to wrap one of its tentacles around, possibly to use as weapon. Hmm... this must be the octopus' garden I've heard about for so many years.
After a moment I realize I ought to be doing something, and so, I grab the arm of Pink (which I'm really getting good at doing these days) and jump straight down with her onto the beasty's head, temporarily dazing it. With shiny shard o'Laurie's weapon in hand I rush over to the plants and slice off a few of the thorns, toss some to Pink who looks awfully shaken, sorry dear, and proceed to stick the thorns I've collected one by one into my handy-dandy hollow wand to use as dart gun.
*PHOOT*
The first thorn lands in the back of octopus' head.. no real reaction.
*PHOOT*
Next one into the tentacle battling Tru, causing a momentary setback for the octopus in which our warrior can attack more easily.
*PHOOT*
Last one DIRECT HIT into the beasty's eye! Yeeah boyyyyy ^_^
After doing a little groove I half-run, half-levitate towards Jade and Tru over the beasty's head and kick him flat in the other eye. (love those steel toes)
Sometimes brute force works well.
I rush over to E and check on her state of being. Seems she's okay, just a little worn out as yet, and as such I produce a nice cool drink for her from my little bag. Don't know if you like lemons, dear, but if not we can make you another one.

*jade reactivates her wristcom and accesses the online music section...scanning down the list of saved tracks, she looks for one that would be the most sleep-inducing, the most hypnotic, and the most thoroughly intolerable*
Forgive me, fellow Wizurds!!!
*Suddenly, the latin-jazz song stylings of Dido fill the air. Grimacing in pain, jade strides closer to the octopus, gingerly avoiding its gaping maw. As jade closes in, the octopus is beset by a complex rhythm and lulling flute sounds. Combined with the lilting voice of Dido, the childlike exuberance of the EFM, and the power of the steady Wizurds' chanting, the effect is completed. The Octopus heaves in a rictus of...of...well, something akin to deep delta-wave sleep.*

Out of the corner of my still observant ear I begin hearing some - ACK! - Dido playing... I'm certain there must be a good reason, so I try not to let it break my concentrations and continue my aural self-hypnosis and light-creating rites.
It's a wonder what stamina these little minyuns have. They continue the chant through all hours and all interferences.
Opening my eyes briefly there I see E slightly levitating and completely absorbed in this ritual, and I notice suddenly that I, too, am slightly off the ground. I close my eyes again and feel totally enveloped by the warm light surrounding us.
