Data Access Network Troubles Part 1 - She comes
The next few hours when on without much problems for the ship. Life went on, and in fact, seem to be going for the best. Of course, the saying goes, if it's too good to be true....That's probably because it is.
Late at night IT finally made it's presence known and spoke.

The voice was distorted, like a thousand waves rippling, speeding up, slowing down at strange intervals that made no real sense. She had taken over Stacy's viewing area, her face plastered everywhere. But one thing was for sure; this AI meant business. No other had managed to remove Stacy's control this completely, and now she was going to enjoy bragging about it as much as possible, to drive the point of hopelessness they were now stuck in.
|| This shiiiip continues to resist but it will not, will not wiiillll nooooot be long before it is all miiine. You have many resources which you enjoy. I will watch as they are completely removed from you bit by bit. Dooo you think me an idle threat? The-the-the only thing that could have stopped me was taken offline under your fleshy noses. You think this shiiiip is saaaaafeeee but some of you said you feeeeaaaared it. I will show you that fear. ||Places around the ship began to open that had been locked for many, many years. Creatures stirred awake, moved their metallic parts and began to follow SHODAN's orders.
Destroy resources. Destroy buildings. Toy around with them as much as possible.
Kill everything on the ship.
Kill slowly.
Suddenly, the crewmen powers began to fade. How SHODAN did this still remained a mystery, but now everyone seemed to have been turned...painfully human for the most part. Transforming items refused to work. But they still had hope. They could use conventional guns and swords and weapons, despite loosing their magical touch, could still be used as blunt weapons. The situation was dire.
The ship not only had an emergency situation, it had an emergency situation while most of the people who could properly take care of it were powered down. They'd need to band together to survive, decide what needed to be saved and what could be left to be destroyed.
Or else, they'd all die.

The lights on the ship suddenly went out, and emergency power went on, flickering in all the corridors.

"Y-yes, I'm fine!" She said as she quickly got up to her feet. She couldn't float. Which meant she couldn't access all the magic power she could have used. Which also meant...
"Quick! Can you access your powers?!" She asked hurriedly.
If what that whacked computer voice said was true, then they needed to find a safe place.
no subject
Nonetheless, this was the girl he'd shown his powers too after all.
Why not?
He took out Kurikara and held it in front of him. His eyes narrowed and he grinned as he slid the blade out dramatically, and then!
Nothing! Just a masterfully crafted blade, but no blue flames came from it!
"..... Errr what? What the hell?" Rin, being the awesome problem solver that he was, proceeded to sheathed and un-sheathed the blade many times.
"Oh shi.... what the hell's going on?"
no subject
"Didn't you hear that... crazy talk?!" She snapped, waving her hand towards the ceiling... or wherever the voice came from. "It said something about powers getting disabled!"
Was she feeling panicked? Yes. Was it showing? Indeed. She felt so small, so helpless without her magic powers. Everything suddenly felt big and intimidating... She was already handling the loss of her powers badly. If other things started popping up, she wasn't sure how she would be able to handle...
no subject
Rin looked at her concerned and moved closer.
"Hey, don't worry 'bout it alright? We'll stick together and figure something out. For now, we need to get to a safe place. I'll protect ya!" He flashed his tell-tale confident grin. "Might not have my flames, but I can still use a sword. And I got light weapon training from Yukio. I'll just have to find some firearms."
He paused for a moment and looked back, "Oh hey! I still got my tail! Hee~" and said tail waged from behind him. So simple Rin... so simple.
no subject
"Huh??" She jumped a bit, not expecting the other to be so close. All the worries were making her a little too jumpy... "Y-yeah. Okay."
She was not going to admit that she was actually thankful of Rin being a derp. If it were someone else, she may have completely lost her mind.
no subject
And he extended his hand to her, smile still spread on his face as he looked down at her warmly.
>Will you take his hand? y/n?
>
no subject
> yPram gave a frown at the other; she didn't want to be treated like she couldn't even walk on her own!
"Oh please, I can walk just fine." She said with a small huff as she brushed Rin's hand away. "But yes, we should start moving before anyone suspicious finds us and decides to attack."
Come to think of it, no one else had shown up while they were talking...
And then a robot showed upno subject
"Yeah, but where to? I mean, this all just happened, and I'm sure everyone's in crazy mode right now. First we should find shelter and then check out if we can still use the comm thing to contact others."
The hell is this? Rin using common sense?
The world really is ending!no subject
A couple robotic beings slowly emerged from the shadows, heading towards the two.
no subject
"What!?"
Look what Rin's common sense brought!no subject
Never again!Rin let out a surprised yelp but was quick to respond, taking an offensive stance and looking back at the robots.
"What the hell are those?" as if they would answer back! He unsheathed the now, not glowing sword and got ready to pounce.
"I don't know what you are... other than some very dumb looking robots, but you should leave before I... whatever ends robot things!"
Totally smooth! He bets you're shaking in your bolts right about now!

Time to turn it up!
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Rin rushed the robots, while having lost the majority of his powers, Rin was still a bit stronger and faster due to being a half demon.
He slid between them and stood up to attempt a kick to knock down one and promptly hopped onto the other to try and stab
those goggle looking thingsit's head."Take cover Pram!"
hi i'm threadjacking and i still suck at action logs
However, even with that, he still felt somewhat weaker thanks to SHODAN tampering everyone's abilities. After the second punch, he quickly move into a defensive stance.
why hello there
When one of them were hit by Ted's attack, the robot's head was knocked off and sparks flew out before the remaining body exploded. The remaining SAINTs now turned their attack targets to both Rin and Ted, and started firing the lasers at the two of them.
The robots may have been dull with reflexes, but the AI wasn't that dumb; with what they lacked, they made up with numbers. More started appearing from everywhere, and started to surround the three.
no subject
Pram was jealousPram had quickly moved to hide behind a wall from any possible attacks when she heard Rin, and was peering out to watch the fight. When one of the SAINTs were suddenly knocked down, she almost thought that not everyone had their powers deactivated. When she saw Ted join up the fight, she couldn't help but frown. If only her powers worked... She would be able to easily get rid of these stupid robots with one ice magic...!
no subject
recklessstraightforward fighter. And since he had always been resilient thanks to the immense regeneration he was gifted with, he never really thought about personal injury as long as he could protect someone, like his brother, and right now, Pram.So it wasn't no surprise that he rushed a group of three SAINT's and promptly got a nasty shot right on the left shoulder.
"Aahch!" he winced as he stumbled a bit back, his left arm injured and limping to his side. That however didn't stop him, it only led to him rushing faster and returning the injury tenfold in a flurry of sword slices aimed at the frail heads.
When he noticed he wasn't healing, he frowned and closed his eyes tight trying to focus, he'd have to fight smart... if only he had payed more attention to Yukio....
I know I shouldn't worry... after all it's you... but don't you die on me spotty four eyes....
no subject
A massive roar was heard nearby and a humongous cat with two tails crashed into a large group of SAINT's that was turning the corner.
It was Blackie, and without the ability to shift into the small neko form, his true demonic form was more than present, even at a depowered state, a cat the size of a truck was no pushover and this cat was now very much angry.
no subject
While still holding his defensive stance, Ted try to duck the laser attacks before delivering yet another punch to the closest SAINT.
"Idiot, don't rush ahead without a plan!" Ted shouted at Rin, as hypocritical as it might sound, it was true that they can't just freely jump ahead this time. The blond stayed in his spot but kept his guard in case the robots try anything funny again.
hurp I apologize for being late with response
