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.]

Jono shifts on the back of the dragon, looking toward Jean again. And doing his best to ignore the carnage that was going on around them. There wasn't time to get distracted and he couldn't relay what was happening to Jaime. Not if this was to work.

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.

Sending another telepathic blast at the magma which was trying to get at her team, Jean nods.

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?

Looks like I'll have to be, don't you think?

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?!

Jono's head swivels toward the scream, Jaime's cry giving the voice a name. Which is more than Jono had before. He casts his mind that direction, not trying to distract but absorbing what happened. His eyes narrow.

'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.

How bad?

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.

Unfortunately, the answer isn't likely to calm Jaime in the least.

'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.

Tears almost squeeze out through the eyelid of his good eye. Almost. But he manages to suppress the urge to cry.

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.

Tobias decides he needs extra blades before fighting time. He demorphs back into his hawk form and then after a second's pause, he remorphs to hork-bajir. If there are a lot of tentacles in his future, he needs more than just a tail blade to deal with them.
