RE: Werewolf XV II: The Final Frontier (Night 8 ends on the 27th of May, 10:00 PM EST)
I put this into a Random Number generator to figure out what happened, since more than one kill role was set off last night targeting the same person.
________
It was so serene. No interruptions in her room but the calming flutter of the flame at the tip of the candles all around her room. A sweet, cinnamon-like scent drifted through the air, bellowing up from incense that was placed in small baskets around the room. The room was small, carpeted with metal walls and was decorated with small valuables from Vulcan and little, and largely more valuable souvenirs from other planets that were gifts from the captain -- albeit taken reluctantly, as the whole practice of souvenirs was rather foreign to her at the time.
Ka-Ton's -- otherwise known as Luckyfire -- acute hearing caught clanks in the vents. This was familiar, and rather irritating. He always showed up at the wrong time, and the wrong time was usually during her meditation. From the vents, dimly lit from the candles, a black cloud of nanites poured through the grate. From the nanites formed legs, torso, arms and then a head, topped off by two handlebars on each temple of his cranial unit. He was tall, primarily purple with yellow highlights. The Transformer leaned against the wall, motorcycle headlights lit, dumping light into the room, overriding the candlelight and making the room bright. There was no need for his holomatter avatar, RaichuGirl.
"That should shed some light on the subject." Sideways said with a chuckle, blue visor lighting his mouth, showing a sarcastic smirk.
"You have interrupted my meditation." Ka-Ton replied, eyes still closed, even under the bright light from Sideways' headlights.
"Don't let me interrupt. I'm just sitting here trying to warn you about the Undine who's coming down the hallway right at this moment who may or may not be here to kill you." the transformer replied, crossing his arms.
Ka-Ton looked up from her seated position and gave the Transformer a startled look.
"Yep. And, put simply, he's got a ridiculously large gun. Something tells me he's expecting resistance. Like, half the crew resistance." Sideways continued with a lazy yawn.
"Can we take him?"
"Not likely. Besides, even if we could, you'd probably die in the process, and no one wants that, especially your captain."
Ka-Ton did not reply.
"But anyway, don't you think we should get going? I mean, he could be here any-" the door began to knock pleasantly, "- Second."
Looking back to Ka-Ton, Sideways strode forward, knelt down and spoke quietly.
"I've got an idea. When I say 'now', run as fast as you can away from here. Wherever you want. I don't care. Just go, and I'll be right behind you." he said as he stood up, dousing his lights.
There he waited for another knock, which seemed to have become rather irritated. Once another series of knocks began, the Transformer opened the door and let out a vicious kick, sending the surprised Undine flying backward toward the wall, letting loose a hollow "oof".
"Now! GO!" Sideways cried out to the Vulcan, Transforming into a Cybertronian Motorcycle.
Jumping onto the seat, Ka-Ton barked out, "Sideways, get to the bridge! Roger will help!"
Tires squealing, the purple motorcycle sped off, leaving the Undine in the dust, snarling (if you could say that the nearly faceless being capable of a snarl). They sped down the hallway, until they made it to the bridge when something unexpected happened. Sideways transformed, launched Ka-Ton forward and fired one of his cannons, striking her on the shoulder, leaving a scorched gouge. She collapsed onto the floor, letting out a shrill yell of agony.
"That ought to get his attention. Keep screaming, idiot." Sideways said with a chuckle.
"But... Why? Side... Ways... We were... Friends..." she asked, grasping her shoulder in agony.
Sideways responded with a chorus of maniacal laughter, then continued, "Humans, Vulcans, Autobots, Decepticons, it doesn't matter, you're all the same. You're too trusting when it comes to crisis. Anyone with the facade of a friend you trust, even if they show up literally directly after someone was killed. I mean, come on, you didn't once think to mind meld with me, just to confirm I was on your side? Nope. Not once."
The door to the captain's ready room opened with a loud hiss, Clemmins at the doorway, prepared to fight whatever was attacking, be it Undine, Klingon, Romulan, Tholian-
Oh dear. He hadn't planned for a Cybertronian.
"Ka-Ton! What ha-" he cried out, trying to piece together what was going on.
"Oh, hey there, cappy!" Sideways said with a jovial look on his face, reaching out his cannon, jamming it into the chest of Ka-Ton and firing another shot into her chest, spilling green blood out of the wound.
Clemmins breath was taken from him and replaced with pure rage. He was speechless, so he just bellowed out with rage, spinning his pocket phaser gauge to the highest level and firing volley after volley at the Sideways, blowing bits of him apart, from his arms, his chest to the side of his still smirking face. He stood there for a moment, groaning out of pain, then he stopped and laughed, turning to face the captain, clouds of the nanite buildup of the demolished parts of his body soared back to their original place, making him in pristine.
"I can do this all day, but I won't, 'cause I got a flight to catch! See ya soon, fragger!" Sideways said with a blast from his cannon soaring narrowly over the captain's shoulder, turning into nanites once again and soaring into the vents.
Caring not about the escaping perpetrator, Clemmins rushed to the side of Ka-Ton, taking her into his arms. She was just barely hanging on. He was about to call for help when her weak hand against his cheek stopped him, he looked over to where her other hand was pointing, at the viewscreen. Sideway's face was now on it, smirking.
"How nice of you to lend me your computer."
"I
didn't! Get
back here, you piece of scrap! I'll melt you into a bulkhead, you hear me?! I'll kill you!! I will-"
"You'll do what? You don't even know where I am. Oh, hang on, are those your Dilithium crystals? Thanks for letting me take them off your hands. You're so generous."
On the screen, it flashed into Engineering, showing a dark warp core and dark lights. Then, it flashed to the hangar, where Sideways was on the terminal, crate full of Dilithium crystals being loaded into a Type-F Shuttle by automated cranes.
"Oh, hey, it's me! Hi, me! Oh, and RaichuGirl! Gosh, you look even better on camera, my holomatter avatar!" Sideways waved to the camera, holomatter avatar going along with his movements, "But enough chat. I gotta go. See you later, morons!"
And with a parting offensive gesture, he entered the shuttle and began his ascent. He blasted a hole through the closed shuttle bay doors with the low-energy Photon Torpedo launcher built into every shuttle, mostly used for mining. He darted out of the bay and made for the
Gorganzola, outer cameras following the shuttle.
Suddenly, the saucer section of the
Gorganzola began to glow, and suddenly, a rift of light opened, pulling everything already inside of the radius of it into a vortex of green light.
"What... Is that thing?" Clemmins asked aloud.
"A Space Bridge... Similar to our Transwarp-" Luckyfire coughed up green blood, "Technology... It was... Lost... That is why he needed... Our supplies... He must have... Built it... Himself..."
The shuttle disappeared into the vortex, and as soon as he did, the vortex disappeared, leaving a doughnut where the saucer section once was. Sideways escaped. Clemmins turned to Ka-Ton and brushed her hair with his right hand.
"Don't worry, Gareb'll get you fixed up. He has to."
"I'm sorry... Captain. Some things... You just... Can't fix. Thinking so... Would be... Illogica...l..." she said, and then, the light from her usually bright eyes was just... Gone. Every muscle relaxed in her body. She was dead. Ka-Ton was dead.
Luckyfire was:
Ka-Ton
Alligence: Starfleet
You are Ka-Ton, a Vulcan. You are the Chief Science Officer of the Farstar, and you put those instruments to good use. You see, the Farstar can scan the life-forms on the Gorganzola and see which ones are Undine! Unfortunately, the Undine planned for this and wrecked your instruments. I guess the good old-fashioned Mind-Meld will have to do for now.
Ability 0: Mind-Meld
Once during the night phase, you may PM me the name of a living player. You will visit that player that night and Mind-Meld with said player in his/her sleep. You will thus learn everything about that player. His/her memories, thoughts and that player's entire role PM!
Ability 1: Broken Scanners
Once during the night phase, you may PM me a message reading "Fixing Scanners". This job is rather perilous and tedious, so you may not use the Mind-Meld ability in the same night. There is a 10% chance of an accident and your death, and a 10% chance of revealing an Undine player's role PM and name publicly. Unfortunately, the Scanners break in both cases, so you may not use this again if the repairs are successful. There is also a 80% chance of failure, meaning that your efforts failed for the night with no result, but the scanners are still able to be repaired.
[UNLOCKED WHEN CHOSEN BY THE CAPTAIN] Ability 2: Captain, a word.
You are in a mason group with the captain for the next three days. His player's name will be sent to you in a seperate PM. You may converse with the captain at any time through PM.
Win Condition: You survive until all threats are removed.
"No... No... NO! COME BACK! Come back to me! You can't die! No... You can't die... Because... Because... I've always cared... About... You... Come back..." Clemmins felt tears run down his face, clasping Luckyfire's dead body against his chest.
He began to fill with rage. It bubbled and frothed to his very core. Nothing was going to stand in his way between he and Sideways. Nothing at all. Not even the Undine.
"
SIDEWAAAAAAAYYYYSSSS!!!!!" Clemimins roared filled with rage and sorrow, echoing throughout the entire ship.
*****
Cybertron. The Wilds. It was a dangerous place, even for a Transformer. Even Cybertron itself seemed to repent the very people who once lived on the planet, knowing full well that the momentary peace would not last an astrosecond. This was the perfect place to hide. No one would find you -- let alone come looking for you -- here. Suddenly, a vortex opened up in the midst of a cluster of metal thorns and from it came the saucer section of the
Gorganzola, dumping out aside from the vortex. Following it came a shuttle, carrying a very vengeful cargo. Sideways.
"You'll never know what hit you. With my Dilithium Bomb... Autobot, Decepticon, Non-Affiliate... You'll all be dead!" Sideways began to laugh maniacally, feeling the joy of success and triumph cover his entire body.
RaichuGirl was:
Sideways
Alligence: Self
You are Sideways, a rather notorious Cybertronian on the run from a few dangerous mobsters. Nothing you can't handle. ... Right...? Anyway you pride yourself in backstabbing people for your own gain. You once tricked some Autobots and Decepticons into going into a Scraplet-filled cave. Lets just say that they didn't come back out, and that you made off with some pretty sweet loot. In short, you can be trusted as far as you can be thrown; which isn't far at all.
Ability 0: Of course you can trust me! Now do me a favor...
You really take too much pride in backstabbing people. But thankfully, it might just come in handy. Once during the night phase, PM me the name of a living player. You will contact that player and the two of you will hit it off. You and said player will then be in a Mason Group for two days. The two of you will then be able to share PMs, just as long as you share them with me, as well. Things go well between the two of you... Until at the end of those two days when you shoot your new friend in the face and kill him. Bummer.
Ability 1: Trans-Phase Mode
The first time an attempt on your life will fail as you will activate Trans-Phase Mode, piece yourself back together and flee.
Win Condition: Sucessfully use "Of course you can trust me! Now do me a favor..." on three people.
Congratulations, RaichuGirl, for fulfilling your Win Condition, you have become our first winner! You have been removed from the game in triumph!
Day 9 begins now and ends on the 3rd of June, 10:00 EST!
