Science Is Fun! With Dr Fogg 2008/11/13 	 Golden Teflon Titan Ferryl Dr Samuel Fogg unidentified alien(?) 2

Scene: CBSU

It's late at night on campus. Things are pretty still, it seems - it's a bit late even for students.

Having turned 21 not so long ago, Titan is currently on his way home from a local bar. He's walking along Courtland dressed casually. Despite the relatively chilly weather, he's still dressed like it was summer, wearing a silk shirt.

Snoozing, Ferryl is on-site. She simply isn't in sight for most people what with her finding a spot well above street level and sheltered. Her rest is a mere nap, alert for any trouble that might come along and try to capture her.

Ferryl might as well have been sound asleep! Suddenly there's a very loud alarm, accompanied by, of all things, a laser light show which clearly marks the source of the disturbance!

Titan blinks, shielding his eyes as the lights appear. "Huh. College kids playing a prank?" He jogs onto the campus, to get a better look.

The light show proves to be coming from one of the sprawling annexes of the science building. But as soon as Titan spots this, the lights stop, as do the sounds. Apart from some barks and howls of distant dogs the night is abruptly quiet again.

Immediately Ferryl is outside, bow in hand and arrow nocked. "This had better be city-ending..." she mutters, eyes on the origin of the disturbance.

Titan furrows his brow, and walks over to the building, attempting to get a look in one of the windows in question.

Ferryl heads for Titan's side, landing there and asking, "You heard that too, right?"

Titan nods to Ferryl, looking her over. "Yeah. Looks like a lab experiment gone awry."

Titan shrugs a little bit, "I'm guessing the building's locked. We may want to get campus security to check it out."

Ferryl shrugs. "I can get in without the use of campus security. Think it's a major threat?"

Titan now notice that some robot arms, seemingly part of the lab, are engaged in destruction!

Titan shrugs, "I could get in too...but I'd break something. Like a wall." He furrows his brow. "Looks like we still have something actively engaged in destruction in there." He points out the robot arms.

Ferryl nods. "So, let's do something about it. How high can you jump?"

Titan says, "Over the building."

Ferryl nods. She leaps to the window, searching for a fire exit-enabled one. Barring that, an easily-spotted fire exit.

Ferryl changes direction and heads for the fire door, applying her expertise in opening it from the outside. A combination of strength and understanding how it works.

Titan moves to the main door, just to check if it actually IS locked.

The main door *is* locked.

Titan chuckles, and walks back over to Ferryl. "I had to check. I'd feel stupid if it were unlocked."

Ferryl heads for the main door, rather than trying the fire hazard door again. "Geez. You'd think they'd leave those things more easily opened. What if there's a fire outside?"

Golden checks the delivery ticket of the extra-large Meat Feast Pizza in her bag. Then she checks the map of the Campus on her PDA. Yep, she thought so. That's the place, right where the laser display was. With a shrug she flies down to the door of that annex and tries the door.

There's a bang in the lab and the fire alarms go off, and foam begins to be sprayed into the room.

Ferryl glances at the flying Golden, then returns attention to the door. "We might have someone trying to stop us. You want to do the talking?" Once again into the lockpicking adventures.

Golden tries the door again, this time with feeling, and whatever part of 60 strength is needed to open it.

Ferryl adds, "Oh, good. She's on whatever side we're on."

Te door handle resists only briefly, then with the accompanying sound of tearing metal it turns and Golden pushes the door open.

Titan chuckles. "I was hoping to not break the doors, personally, but that works." He glances to Golden and nods, having seen her about at least once before.

No alarm goes off when the door is forced. Even though Ferryl can clearly see it has alarms.

Titan says to Golden as he heads inside, "There's some kind of automatic robot tearing apart a lab. The one we were looking in. Some alarms have gone off, and the like."

Shrugging, off Ferryl is to where Golden made her entry. "Is Automatic Robot redundant? Or is this one especially self-motivated?"

Golden looks over at Titan, with a definite hint of admiration for the figure he displays. "Good morning. I've seen you before haven't I? At Steel's Gym once at least."

Titan nods to Golden, and smiles. "Yup. I work out there as often as I can manage with my schedule. You too? I'm assuming it's the only place around that could give you a good workout, considering what you did with the door." He continues moving toward the lab in question.

Golden quickly checks the delivery ticket. "Robot? Nope, not on the order. Would you like a hand since I happen to be in the neighborhood?"

The lab's only a few doors down - at least you *think* this is the right door.

Ferryl asks, "Are we gonna be destroying the property of whatever persons own the robot or are we going to be preventing widespread damage? Why didn't the alarms go off when you opened that door? Is there a power outage?"

Golden says, "Hey, don't ask me. I've only just arrived."

Titan smiles to Golden, "I'd be quite happy to work with you." He looks to Ferryl, "Here's a guess...the pizza wasn't ordered by a robot, obviously. There's potentially an injured individual in that room. First priority would be to make sure they're alright." He listens at the door for a moment to see if it's likely the right room.

Titan nods to himself, and tries the door...forcing it if necessary.

Ferryl listens for the robot sounds.

The door is dented but doesn't give.

Ferryl continues listening for robot noises, beyond the noise.

Ferryl suggests, "Mind if I try something less brutish?"

Titan is about to try again, but waits. "As you like. I can get through it, I'm sure. It's just a matter of time."

Ferryl heads for the door, lock-opening type tools at the ready.

Teflon skates across the campus towards the science building. He grumbles to himself, "Man, I had to leave the anime showing right in the middle Magical Laundry Savior! The science building better be blowing up for real." He reaches the building and decides to go inside.

Ferryl doesn't seem to be doing any better than Titan.

Ferryl steps away. "Resume smashing."

Titan tries to force the door again, chuckling.

"Looks like a break-in." Teflon thinks aloud as he stops to check out the busted door. His force field is up and he steps inside.

Ferryl adds, "Something went blasty zap in there."

Golden nods, glances at Titan, "Tough door?"

The door comes loose in its frame, just.

Titan nods. "Reinforced. They expect big problems here, apparently." He gives it one more shove.

Ferryl draws an arrow, ready to snap-shoot at whatever happens to pop out and grab Titan by the face.

The door blasts clean across the lab and hits the far wall with a loud CLANG.

Golden says, "Uh, if there's nobody trapped inside, wouldn't it have been best to leave the rampaging robot locked inside?"

Ferryl replies, "It woke me up from my nap. It has to be put down."

There are a couple of robot arms wreaking havoc on the lab and its contents. The contents include Dr Fogg's flying saucer (for those who have seen that) - looking thoroughly trashed now. Closer to the door there is a big wobbling mass of something blue. One of the windows is missing a couple of bars.

Golden glances back and spots Teflon, greeting him with a smile. "Oh, hi. Rampaging robot in a science lab. I should have expected you."

Titan nods. "That's a big 'if'. Should we have taken the chance that there wasn't someone in here, and have them die?" He strides into the room, looking around as he moves. He raises a brow, "Think the blue thing is an alien? Or a human that was morphed?"

Ferryl takes aim at one of the arms, then shoots.

Golden looks into the lab where Titan points, "Ugh. Whichever, it sure came first in the ugly contest."

Teflon skids past the group of heroes outside the lab, overshooting a little bit. "Oh, hey, Golden!" He's got his skating under control as he walks back to a position where he can peer inside the room. "Woah. Blue Blob."

Ferryl calls, "Someone climbing out the window. Looks like a stealth suit. I am so chasing that."

Arrow manages to strike down its robotic arm nemesis. Ferryl is already prepared to follow through.

Golden steps inside and releases a heat beam from her eyes at the remaining functional robot arm, aiming at a joint trying to seize it into immobility.

Golden sees the robot arm freeze in place as the articulated joint glows red hot and melds together.

Teflon says, "Wow. Nice shot!"

Titan spots the stealthy person, and not wanting them to get away...he runs toward the window, and leaps out it, attempting to plow through the sneak.

Golden grins at Teflon, "Yeah. Usually I forget I can do that. Still getting used to being a meta."

Titan breaks through the window and wall as he attempts to dive through, landing outside on the ground. He growls, "Stop, miscreant!"

Teflon says, "Holy -- " as he sees Titan bust through the wall with no apparent provocation. He tries to spot the person who Titan is talking about.

The blue wobbly thing wobbles across the floor a bit. Suddenly the half a dozen zombies appear in the lab. "Brains...." they say.

Golden cracks up laughing, "Oh no! This is too much. Where's the hidden cameras. Zombies in a science lab? This has to be a spoof show."

Teflon nods, looking over at Golden. "Yeah... they look like they're from a movie I saw once. The name of it's right on the tip of my tongue..."

Ferryl moves through the window, sniffing to get a fix on the sneak-suit man.

Ferryl pulls another arrow back, pointed toward the sneak. "I don't know if anyone else knows where you are, but I do, and you really don't want me to be the one shooting. All I have is sharp."

The suited person glances upwards and makes a leap for the roof.

Ferryl calls, "He's just hopped onto the roof."

He lands on the roof.

Ferryl leaps onto the roof as well, aiming her bow at the shape she is tracking. "Last warning. You stop or I try to stop you."

Golden can't see any flaws in the zombie images but doesn't believe in them either. Which might be unfortunate if they happen to be real. But seriously, zombies. No way! Going over towards blobby Jello thing she looks it over, "Can you speak our language?"

The blobby thing quivers, and inches toward Golden.

Ferryl explains along the way, "The first shot will pierce your suit, if you're wearing one, making you visible as a target to not just me, but everyone. Also, it'll sting. The second shot will probably be less pleasant."

Titan hops to his feet, and leaps after the man, landing next to him, and attempting to grab a hold of him.

Teflon calls after Ferryl and Titan. "Guys? Zombies..." He can't figure out why the other heroes have left Golden and himself in a room alone with living dead. He pulls a deck of cards from his pocket, and he tries to throw one through a zombie.

Titan chuckles as he fails to grab the invisible man, "You should listen to her. She's a lot faster than I am. She can tag you easily."

The blue wobbly thing suddenly jumps at Golden!

Teflon's playing card passes through a zombie as if it weren't even there. It lodged deeply into the wall behind the zombie. "Holograms!"

The wobbly thing envelops Golden!

Golden says, "Ugh! I've been jello'ed."

When Golden speaks it tries to get into her mouth!

Teflon says, "Woah... are you ok?"

At the point a white-haired man appears at the door. What are you doing? Get out of my lab! He fires some sort of gun at Teflon, who's closest.

Golden closes her mouth. Ugh, that's just gross!

Teflon vanishes!

The intruder opens up some sort of wings and attempts to glide from the roof.

The figure glides away.

Ferryl takes her shot, frowning. "Wrong choice."

Granite enters from Student Quarter.

Ferryl's prediction is true - it's the stealth circuits she hits! Camouflage fails. THough the suit is now black against the night.

Ferryl already has another arrow nocked. She hops to another roof, near to where the glider is headed. "Do you even understand what I'm saying? I can follow you all night you know."

Golden closes her mouth after pushing out the jello with her tongue. She's thoroughly disgusted by all this, and blasts the jello blob with a high powered heat beam from her eyes.

The blobby thing shrivels away from Golden, as it does so releasing foam into the room.

Teflon skates back into the room. "Wait, Dr. Fogg... we're here to help. Somebody broke into the lab, but I think we chased him off." He looks over to Golden. "You alright? What happened to the blob?"

Dr Fogg looks about in confusion. "What? Where's the intruder? And what are you doing to my hypersponge, young lady?"

Teflon points to the hole in the wall. "I think he went that way... At least, before Titan went after him."

Golden goes to the sink in the lab and spits, running the tap and rinsing out her mouth, "Ehh, that tasted foul. Your what?" She asks Dr Fogg. "Who are you anyway?"

The zombies are abruptly replaced by an advertisement for the Strollizer! Enjoy a walk down the street to your corner store without ever having to leave your living room! Can be programmed with holographic simuluations of your own city! Excercise was never this easy or enjoyable!

"I'm Samuel Fogg and this is my lab! No! My gravitic ship!!"

"What do you mean?" Teflon asks. "Is it gone?"

Dr Fogg runs over to check on the ship.

Golden says, "You're Dr Fogg? Right. I have your order. Extra large Joe's Meat Feast Pizza, side orders of garlic bread and salad. That's fourteen dollars and 99 cents, please."

"It's ruined!!"

Teflon offers hopefully, "The foam'll probably come right off..."

"How can you talk about food at a time like this!?" He rushes to the computer, which looks in worse shape.

Golden says, "It's not ruined. I'm here well inside the twenty minute delivery time. I assure the, the pizza is still fresh and hot."

"Twang then." Ferryl fires off another shot, this one aimed for the head.

The arrow bounces off the armour.

Ferryl smiles. "Armored, eh..."

And the person keep gliding away.

Teflon looks to Golden. "I'm gonna go see if the others found the guy responsible." He turns and skates out of the room through the hole in the wall and tries to find Ferryl.

Ferryl fires again. "Four," she utters, aiming to foul the flight capability of the suit. "Four left."

The figure tumbles into the ground.

But he gets to his feet again immediately, and glances up at Ferryl.

Ferryl's arms suddenly move of their own accord! They throw the bow as far as they can and off the roof.

Ferryl looks surprised. "Okay. That's just childish."

Dr Fogg pays for the pizza at last, and asks Golden to help him round up the hypersponge (which is eating foam again). "Don't let it get in your mouth or up your nose!" he warns.

Ferryl leaps to land on the figure with a kick. "Let go."

The figure is knocked onto his back.

Ferryl glares, landing about twenty meters past the figure finally. "Let go or it's going to feel worse."

But again, it rolls to its feet. And gesures in Ferryl's direction again.

The figure may have be thrown by the kick - in any case it fails to exert any more control over Ferryl.

Teflon skates up to the mysterious figure. He comes to a halt 2" away from him, where he crouches and touches the ground. In a circle, extending roughly 6" from him, Teflon causes the ground to glow magenta, and it all becomes very very slippery.

Ferryl asks Teflon, "Any other tricks up your sleeve? He's got control of my arms."

Teflon looks over to Ferryl. He blinks, not sure how to respond. "Uhh..." He looks to see if the means of control is visible or not.

Ferryl explains, "My options are pretty limited right now."

He leaps onto the roof of the nearest building.

Ferryl leaps to another roof, watching where he goes and finding cover for herself.

Teflon says, "Crap."

Teflon tries to keep an eye on him from the ground level.

The intruder makes its escape in the direction of the Alien Quarter while Ferryl retrieves her bow.
