Phase 2 - Running the Ratrace
You have my sincerest apologies, but I have my mission.
The traps start. Rotating blades coming out of the walls and floors and ceilings, jets of fire, lasers, holographic enemies. The clear walls of the maze let them see what's happening to everyone else.
The traps start, and they have to stay alive despite them. If they stop avoiding them, it's their own fault, you see, if they die. That makes it indirect enough for Stacy's Anti-harming-the-crew protocols to be avoided, as Hal, despite his reprogramming, still has to follow some constraints.
Please commence with killing yourselves by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The only chance the group has is if they work together to stay alive, and somehow they have to take out the shield projectors creating the maze even though they themselves are shielded...
[ooc: Cooperation is key, people. Hal can only adapt to one power/skill-set at a time, not all of them.]

Nice to know you're still with us, Jaime...
Her gaze cuts to Jono and she nods. I'm confident we can manage. What exactly is your plan Jaime?

His thoughts become clearer as the scarab subtly repairs the damage to his body.
First of all: the sensors. They do have electronic components and can be effected by electronic means, but they're also nerve tissue. Like brains. I think they can be affected by telepaths like you guys and our illusionists. Coordinate the others telepathically. Bamboozle the sensors--you'll probably have to work together to maintain a single, solid illusion.
Fake that everyone's dying to the sensors--and to Hal, but do it slowly. Buy time. That means the traps will stop going for the real people and go for whatever you project, leaving our teams unscathed, so make sure you project something where they don't get hurt accidentally anyway.
Second stage: The others can't really go for the shield and holographic projectors directly--those were shielded, I'm assuming they still are--but while you're fooling the sensors, they can damage the tissue AROUND them and the projectors. That tissues holds the nerves connecting up the entire network. That'll regenerate, but that'll shut everything down.
We'll need everyone to help--it's a lot of tissue to damage, and bullets, ray beams, fire blasts, whatever, as long as it damages her tissue we'll need it. We're essentially CORING them out, like destroying someone's ability to see by damaging just the area around the eye and the ocular nerve rather than the eye itself.
If you can get everyone set up to take down every one of them at the exact same time, we'll have a shot at this. Every sensor, projector, and shield will be down before Hal has time to retaliate.
He calls up what he remembers of where all the sensors and projectors are--something he managed to steal from Hal before being disconnected.
Here's where they all are, can you see it? There's also one above me. I'll need you to mess with the sensor above me just like all the others to make it look like I'm still dead so I can move too. It's going to be fast. You fool the sensors, including mine, everyone takes advantage of that to core out all the sensors and holographic projectors, then I'll destroy the shield and sensor here, leaving Hal wide open.
ALL of the shields should be down, and he'll be blind, but he'll still be able to defend himself with energy tentacles and block attacks, and probably smack them around until he kills me. Everyone needs to be ready to completely blast him then and take him out once and for all, so make sure they're ready.
And, uh...that's my plan.

Reckon it'll work. Not sure how t' 'splain where we got the info from, but we'll figure it out. He looks forward at the back of Billy's helmet, pensive. I'll take the sensor over you meself. Seem t' 'ave less t' concentrate on 'ere 'an Jean does. Might as well take advantage of it.

I think we should start the illusion with the first team and slowly work our way back, that way we all know exactly what's going on and where we've already set the trick up.
Jaime, you're sure you're up for this?
no subject
But yeah. I can do this.
It's right then that a scream of agony (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_9/156698.html?thread=11895578#t11895578) rends the air.
Paco!
Jaime's blood runs ice-cold, and it takes everyone single scrap of will he has not to move, not to cry out, not to look. It is akin to torture, hearing your best friend scream in agony, and knowing that to help save them, you can't even open open your eyes to see if they're alive.
Is he okay? What happened?!
no subject
'E's alive. He's too far away to see properly and there's too much going on to get a good feel for what's actually happening. 'E's injured, though. Bad. Shocky. He's with Kon an' Wonder Girl, though. They got 'im. Hey. Kon he's been around for a while. Cassie's someone he hasn't quite caught the name of, though.
It wasn't good. They had to expect injuries just because of what they were doing, but that didn't mean it was easy to deal with.

If a mental voice could be sobbing hysterically, well...
Yet it made it all the more incredible he could still stay still during all this, fighting down every urge he has just to look.
no subject
'M sorry, mate. His 'voice' is soft. Looks like 'e's lost an arm. Looks like they've got the bleedin' stopped, at least. Which was some of the rest of the screaming, honestly.
no subject
Regardless, the guilt is almost palpable.
But he has a job to do, and they have a job to do too.
Spread the plan. Start getting everyone ready.
