[SESSION START. NO, REALLY. I MEAN IT, YOU GUYS.] You are all back in the Standard Pre-Mission Waiting Area, with it's vending machines, magazine racks, and tables. Finally. Will we have an actual mission this time? Hopefully. * Marguerite braids her hair. "We had an actual one last time, as far as I can recall." I don't like all this waiting around... Eh. You've had longer than I have to get used to it, Scars. Quitcher belly-achin. * Marguerite finishes braiding, then slips on her fingerless gloves and digs in her blue satchel. Dejiko has entered the room. *** GM is now known as Dejiko * Dejiko walks over to the table you're all sitting at and has a seat. "Good morning." Morning, sir. * Togo shifts position, and stares at Dejiko. * Marguerite yawns, and begins lacing up her boots. "Ma'am." ( ... I watched too much DiGi Charat today. I'm having odd images of Dejiko. @_@ ) ("Here are your mission objextives, nyo.") (-x+c) ( ...-gema ) First, I will inform you all that Asa will no longer be accompanying you on missions, as he has resigned from the GCI. Any inquiry into the whys and hows of the matter will be ignored. Subsequently, your group will need a new leader. * Marguerite pauses in her lacing a moment, then continues. I have decided that the new leader will be one of you, since the cadets being trained in more espionage-related pursuits lack experience. * Togo nods. I see. ( Blargh. We have plenty of experience. We just lack capability :P ) ( Oh yeah. Shiori'd be a *perfect* leader. =P ) If any of you wishes to turn this opportunity down, that's fine. Are there any questions? * Marguerite finishes lacing, and proceeds to start cracking joints. Nope. None. Whatever. (Shiori would be a teriffic leader, too. "So, boss, what next?" "I... uhm... well...") ( /me tries to imagine ANY of the espionage group in a leadership position, and cracks up. ) ( Bwaaaaahahahahah ) (Rina would make a great morale leader. Just don't ask her to make command decisions.) ( Heh. ) Alright, then. Today you'll be performing a search-and-destroy mission, for the most part. For the most part? Yes. Heh. What's the other part? You will be entering a lab, and you are to destroy absolutely everything in it that isn't human. There will likely only be one person there, and you are to aprehend him. I'll repeat that, just in case it's necessary; apprehend, not kill. * Marguerite sighs. "Right, right.... no killing. I HEARD you." As you say, sir. Got it. ( Isn't Dejiko a ma'am? ^_^; ) ( Sex is irrelevant. ) ( Ah, okie ) * Marguerite looks up from her bag. "Wait a minnit. So who's the leader?" ( Well, in military terms anyway, although the only real indicator of Dejiko's gender is her word for it, since she must have Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter tatooed on this inside of her thigh.) ( ... ) The man is a scientist named Alphonz Kukenbecker. He was a professor of agriculture, until he was expelled from his University for obvious insanity, which is unusual. So what did he do? Animate a scarecrow? Particularly nasty nutcase? * Marguerite mumbles "Majored in animal husbandry, until they caught him at it one day...." ( I was just gonna say that, you bastard. =P ) * Marguerite finally withdraws her DE from the bag, slips it into her shoulder holster, and sits up. (Too bad. 8P) Close. He first resurfaced in America, where he somehow tampered with the fields of several farms, creating a small army of... "man-eating vegetables". ... No, I don't know how that's supposed to work, either. Oh, wonderful. ( o/" Attaaaaaack... of the Killer Tomatoes... o/" ) * Robert whistles a little tune. Anyway. A few months ago he escaped his imprisonment in America, and we have recently learned that he is now operating on a small farm here in Japan. His laboratory is on the same stretch of land, and that will be your target. Understood? ... and me without my Salad Shooter. Got it. * Marguerite stands. "Right." Her eyes gleam. "What about the farm?" The farm will be carpet-bombed after we have made sure that there aren't any people on the ground. When his 'army' got loose in America it reulted in fifty deaths, and we'd rather not have another incident like that. Aw, man. Leave it to GCI to take all the fun out of blowing something up. You take an unhealthy pleasure in making things go boom. Yeah. If there are no more questions, a chopper is waiting for you. (Are there any more questions?) * Marguerite grins. "I've said it before. Almost better than sex!" ( Nope ) (Um... did you tell us who the leader was and I missed it?) (Yup.) (Or are we leaderless for now?) (Yup to which?) (Oh, the leader for you guys? Nobody, yet. Ask Dejiko about it and she'll clarify. :P) Ne, Dejiko. Yes? So who's leading us on this rabbit mission? *** Atom has joined #ChibiRPG [Atom] Gnome! Sylph! Efreet! Undine! Rem! By your powers combined, I am Captain Craymel Heyo. * Dejiko shrugs. "Nobody, really. If you'd like, I can come along and bark orders at the lot of you, but for now you're leaderless. This mission, in fact, will be part of my evaluation for which of you gets promoted." (Shh! Game running. :P) * Marguerite nods. "Right. Well, then. Let's get to munching. The doctor always told me to eat more vegetables." You better watch what you eat on this mission. If you don't, it might eat you. * Togo nods and gets up from his seat. * Robert stands and puts on his trenchcoat over his tactical armor. (And now we fast-forward to the farm. Unless someone wants to respond to Robert's comment first. ^_^) ( Segue away ) (Get a groove on) As you step out of the helicoptor, the first thing you notice are the acres and acres of vegetables stretched out ahead of you. About half a mile ahead of you is a squat, vaguely dome-shaped building with various antennas projecting from the top. Ahh. the smells of home. Crap and pollen. Interesting place. Don't stray too far. * Togo eyes the surroundings. None of the vegetables jump up and try to eat you. Yet. Who's straying? *** Dejiko is now known as GM I'm just looking for something to shoot. (How can you be straying? You're not even moving. ^_^) ( Is there a road that leads up to the dome, or do we have to go through the fields? ) * Togo draws his guns. "You all ready?" *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG There is a road lading from the dome to other parts of the farm, but not the one where you are. * Robert pulls the SAW out of his trenchcoat. Ready. * Marguerite grins jauntily. "I'm always ready." She instantly is holding Bubba, who's warmed up and glowing hot. (One second.) (Back. And I can see again!) ( Always good ) ( indeed. ) (Heh.) You think you can see momement in a section of field marked "onions" up ahead. * Togo starts walking. "Then lets go make some salad." I'll take point, unless someone decides they really want a plasma enema. As you like. I'm trained for firesupport from the rear. * Togo moves to Mad Dog's right. "Works for me." * Robert takes the left, then. You see more movement, this time from a field off to your right, marked 'potatos'. * Marguerite advances forward. "Keep sharp. Something's advancing." (smacks self for using advancing twice.) * Togo nods, and keeps a wary watch on the surroundings * Robert swings the SAW back and forth, waiting for something to shoot. You are now within 50 yards of the 'onion' patch, and you can see definite movement there. I definitely prefer my food not moving. Can you hit whatever those are from here, Mad Dog? 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-2) and gets 6. 'cause if we're about to be attacked by killer onions, we'd obviously be smart to stay outta bite range I suggest we run like mad, actually. Since if all these things move, nowhere's safe. So unless you need more bloodstream in your vegetables, shall we make a run for it? ... point. If we start firing, they'll all converge here... Works for me. I don't harbor any particular ill will against farm produce. I don't mind a little running. Great. Move it. * Marguerite breaks into a loping stride. * Togo runs, following Mad Dog, guns drawn. * Robert breaks into a heavy run, sweeping the SAW along in several directions. As you pass the onions, they turn towards you, and not long after you've passed them they begin chittering. They don't seem to be out to get you yet, tho. ( The onions are plotting! ) You're only two hundered yards from the dome. Up on your left is a patch riddled with pepper plants and marked "Jalepeno". Watch your backs, people! The onions could start coming after us any time! ... I can't believe I just said that. * Marguerite scans the area as she runs. "So could any of these plants, Togo." * Robert jogs backwards. I've got our tails. More worried about my feet, but hey... (Chariots of fire plays in the background.) You pass the patch of unusually large jalepenos without incident. Only one hundered yards from the dome, now. Once you get to the cleared area within twenty yards of the door, a screetching chorus begins to go up amongst the vegetables. Ah crap... Fuck. At least we got to a clear area. Here it comes. Quickly. Try to get inside. The door itself is pretty standard farm shed fare, with only one lock. If we have a doorway to ... *pant* fight from..... * Marguerite quickdraws her DE and aims for the lock./ (any special minuses?) Then we won't get surrounded... you got the door? (Nope. Fire away.) Working on it. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-4) and gets 6. Got it! The lock dies a quick but terrible death. Then let's get the hell inside. * Marguerite kicks in the door. * Togo points his guns through the doorway, half-looking over his shoulder The doorway is empty. * Robert continues covering the rear, watching for agressive vegetables. The vegeatables are coming for you! Aigh! I don't suppose you could get inside any quicker? * Marguerite advances through the door. * Togo gets the hell inside, moving a bit farther. "Looks clear. Get in, Robert, and let's see if we can block that damn door." (sorry, got poked by the needle.) (Ow.) * Robert steps inside and leaves room for the door to swing shut. * Togo looks around. ( Anything to block the door with? ) There is a shelf stocked with tools to your immediate left as you enter. Right. Togo, grab that end. * Togo grabs the end. "Robert, shut the door." * Marguerite takes the other, and braces to slide the shelf over. * Robert kicks the door closed and makes room for the shelf. * Togo pushes, sliding the shelf towards the door. You move the shelf over in front of the door. Wai! * Marguerite does the same. That oughta hold 'em. They're just veggies, after all. Don't say that. But prly not forver. Let's get to finding this doc. I'd feel better if we had a coupla safes, but yeah, let's go. You hear a steady thumping against the door, accompanied by the same screetching. The door holds, and the shelf does not budge. * Marguerite looks around./ You taking point again, Mad Dog? (Doors, stairs, anything?) Yep. * Robert looks around for a trapdoor or other way down. You're in a halway that curves around on side of the building. You can hear the faint sounds of conversation. * Marguerite holds her finger to her lips and whispers. "Shit. Well, let's go." * Togo nods, and affixes the silencers to his pistols. ... * Robert curses under his breath. * Marguerite hides Bubba and produces the DE complete with silencer, almost in an instant. *** Demota has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) * Robert whispers to Togo, "So, do I keep the SAW ready, or go with the autopistol, which is nearly as noisy? *you can do it, Mr. Marine. Stash the SAW and get something quieter. * Togo whispers back. "... suppose it doesn't matter. Don't fire unless you hafta; if we can handle it, let's keep as quiet as possible." * Robert carefully places the SAW back inside his trenchcoat and pulls out his custom autopistol. * Marguerite nods, then gestures forward with her head. She starts walking, softly, down the hall. * Togo follows. * Robert pads along, his steps much lighter without the SAW to support. (One moment, please.) *** Todd has left #chibirpg Okay. You can now make out the conversation. Oddly enough, two people seem to be talking. * Marguerite holds up her hand and mouths "Stop". * Togo pauses for a moment, then shakes his head disgustedly. * Togo does. * Marguerite listens intently. * Robert waits patiently. * Marguerite (excitedly notes we have become the Adverb Brigade!) One of them sounds old and has a light German accent. "I tell you, my child, soon we'll usher in a grand new age of civilization!" Another voice responds, "Sure, sure, Father. But when do I get to go out and kill people?" This speaker seems impatient. (Feel free to charge in if you want. ^_^) * Marguerite holds her hand to her chin and ponders. * Marguerite nods and waves her hand forward, mouthing "go." * Robert steps forward. "Soon enough my boy, soon enough. Oh, how glorious that will be! The meat-things will surely cower before your might!" * Togo charges around the the corner and rolls into a crouch, guns drawn. * Marguerite takes giant strides, then whirls around the corner. * Robert steps around the corner, autopistol at the ready. You see two people within a large inner room. One of them is a man who fits the mad scientist stereotype very well. The other is a short but solidly built man with black hair sticking straight up. The old man says, "What's this?" "Dr. Kukenbecker? We'd like you to come with us, if you would be so kind." *** Demota has joined #ChibiRPG ( It's Vejiita! ) This is, as they say in the Old Country, a seizure. This is when you don't move or get ventilated. The old man blinks. "Oh. You've come to stop me, then?" That would be the general idea. I assume that short thing is going to attack us now. The old man nods, as if this were expected. "Show them the door, son." Right. *** Atom has joined #ChibiRPG [Atom] Gnome! Sylph! Efreet! Undine! Rem! By your powers combined, I am Captain Craymel Combat. Roll initiative. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (d6+7) and gets 13. We've seen the door. We like it better here. Now freeze. *** Atom has left #ChibiRPG d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (d6+6) and gets 7. d6+* * is not a valid number Togo. d6+8 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (d6+8) and gets 9. * Marguerite whispers to the others before attacking - "You two get short stuff. I'll try and incapacitate the doc." "'f ya need help, holler." No prob. Order: Robert, VeggieGuy, Togo, Margie. Go, Robert. * Robert swivels and fires a burst at the VeggieGuy. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-3) and gets 0. ( Made by 7. ) (And that's with his autopistols, not his SAW, right?) ( Yep. Only 10 damage a hit. ) Session Time: Sun Oct 28 00:00:00 2001 ( Ain't Bullet Time cool? ^_^ ) ( Yeah. ) VeggieGuy takes the hits full in his chest, stumbles a bit, and then shouts in rage. He dashes across the room, and punches Robert twice, once in the face and once in the chest. Togo, you're up. No, retcon that. Suddenly, the GM wakes up! Roll unarmed defense twice, Robert. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6) and gets 5. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6+2) and gets 10. ( Made one, missed one. ) Robert blocks the first blow, but gets hit hard in the gut by the other. NOW you can go, Togo. *** Brett has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Togo unloads two rounds into the guy's back as he steps back from Robert. 2 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2 2d6-3) and gets 7 8. ( Both hits ) ( Daaaaamn... ) The man is hurt, but he doesn't fall. Tough bastard... Go, Margie. * Marguerite drops the regular bullet clip from her DE and slaps in rubbers. She sights quickly, then fires for the Doc's torso. Damn, this boy is helluva tough. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-4) and gets 3. The rubber bullets catch the bad doctor in the lower back and he yelps and falls over. You can't escape a Mad Dog, my dear doctor! You should know that! The VeggieGuy looks distressed to see Margie going after the doctor. That look quickly changes to anger, however. If the doctor's down, help us down this sucker! ( He's gonna go SSJ! ) Got it! (Hee. Mweehehe.) ( ... You wouldn't. ) ( No, wait. You would. ) ( Veggieta. Right ) (o/~ You should know better than to give the GM ideas like that, Yon. ^_^ o/~) ( *rips out Yon's spleen and feeds it to him* ) ( it's not so bad. ) ( There are worse things than Super Saiyajin, and Yon will be fighting them constantly in El WHAT?! ^_^ ) (*cackles*) ( Hey, he's a short, muscular, black spiky haired Veggieman. Isn't it obvious? :P ) ( So will Yu-Mei, for that matter. ) (True, true. 'Sides, this will be a real runt of an SSJ. It's early in the game yet. :P) Er, your turn, Robert. C'mon. * Robert exchanges his autopistol for the much heftier SAW. ( I don't have Lightning Draw, so it takes an action. ) (::nod::) VeggieGuy yells a lot and his hair turns color, becoming yellow like squash. Swift as something really swift, he dashes over to Margie and aims a kick at her gut. (Roll unarmed defense, Margie.) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6) and gets 8. (*wince*) ( Urk. Sorry. ) * Marguerite gasps and clutches her gut, losing her breath for a second. She succeeds in not dropping to her knees, but you can tell it hurt like a bitch. Take ... *cough.. more than that to down the Mad Dog, ya onion. The old scientist begins to struggle to his feet, rubbing his back. your turn, Togo. * Togo circles around towards Mad Dog, forming a firing triangle around the Veggie Guy. "Scientist's moving, Mad Dog!" *fires 2 more rounds at the Veggie guy* 2 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2 2d6-3) and gets 4 5. I *cough* noticed. ( Togo: When you do that, Dicesuke can't tell you if you critted or not. ) ( Okay. I'll do them separately from now on. ) The guy actually manages to dodge on of the bullets, but the other catches him in the bicep. He winces. Shit... Go, Margie! *** Atom has joined #ChibiRPG [Atom] Gnome! Sylph! Efreet! Undine! Rem! By your powers combined, I am Captain Craymel *** Demota has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) * Marguerite pauses for a split second, and the DE seems to morph into Bubba. IT would take a slow motion camera to notice the switch. She makes a mad dash for the scientist, pointing Bubba at his head. (Can I make it in time?) Body roll. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6) and gets 7. (Nope.) VeggieGuy notices Mad Dog running towards the doctor and steps in front of her to bar her way. Your turn, Robert. * Robert swings the SAW around to point at the Super Veggiejin. The barrels spin up, and a moment later, the SAW speaks. Loudly. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-3) and gets 7. ( Blargh. Made it exactly. ) *** Demota has joined #ChibiRPG The Super Veggiejin takes a few shots to his side but quickly gets out of the way. He looks around, and decides to attack Togo this time. Roll unarmed defense twice, Togo. 2d5-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d5-1) and gets 5. erg 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-1) and gets 7. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6+1) and gets 7. ( Both misses ) Togo takes a knee to the gut and a sharp punch to the jaw. Arg! Your turn, Togo. * Togo spits blood. "Fucking bastard..." *backs off, firing 2 shots* 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 4. ( ... ) ( And our first crit of the night. ) One of the shots takes Veggieman high on his shoulder, and the other misses by a mile, bouncing off the walls of the lab for a bit but thankfully not hitting anyone. ( Jesus. The first round I rolled a 10 and an 11 (unmodified), and now a 12. Dice don't like me tonight. ) ( You shoulda seen him a few days ago. ) ( He handed me nothing below a 10 for an entire session, including something like 5 critical failures. ) * Togo curses. ( And he was just as nasty to other people. ) ( Yeah. ) Go, Margie! For everlasting love and *whap* ow. Alright. You want to play rough? Time for some steamed veggies! 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Marguerite (2d6-3) and gets 6. Margie's Blast O Plasma catches the VeggieGuy full in the back. He screams, staggers, falls to one knee, and gets back up, a trickle of something green forming at the edge of his mouth. FUCK YOU, YA FUCKING PLANT! Go Robert. * Robert swings around to face the plantman again and says, "You know, Vejiita was always my least favorite," and opens fire. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-3) and gets 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." ( ... ) ( ... ) (_) ( That's what I get for taunting the enemy. ) ... ( Wow. Dicesuke's being an ass again. ) (... you see, THIS is why I want a new dicebot. ^^; ) Before Robert pulls the trigger, he has a vague sense of Deja' Vu in which he remembers missing horribly. ( Shut up, Dem. Dicesuke is fair. Normally. ) ( /me blinks twice. ) But he is also filled with hope! (Roll again. :P) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6-3) and gets 5. ( Yeah, but lately... he just isn't as good as he used to be. I think it's time for him to retire... ) ( ... Wow. .. That's a nice GM. ) ( Better, I guess. made by 3. ) ( Or get a watch ) ( Whichever comes first ) ( Yeah... ) VeggieGuy staggers again. He speaks from behind clenched teeth, saying "I will not be defeated by a piece of meat!" He gathers himself and lunges at Robert. ( Was that a use of Divine Relationship? ) Robert, roll unarmed defense twice. ( Something like that. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6) and gets 2, "That's a critical success, don't think this means I like you." (No, that was me being nice. :P) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Robert (2d6+2) and gets 5. ( made both, one critically. ) Wanna bet? ( ... Dicesuke is being a good boy now Dem. I think he heard you. ) Robert manages to keep out of the way. One of Veggie's swings leave a large gash in the floor, just for effect. Go, Togo! ( If this is a return to the central tendency, and true randomness, we should be seeing a few more critical successes... the sheer frequency of crits, though... hmm... ) * Togo clutches his ribs. "Goddamnnit, focus..." *blasts away* 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 1. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Togo (2d6-3) and gets 5. ( Both hits ) VeggieGuy takes both hits, one to his arm, and the other to his head. He blinks a few times, and then slumps to the floor. Nice hit, Togo. * Marguerite scans the room for the nice doctor. * Togo coughs, and spits more blood. "Thanks. Nice shooting, both of ya." The nice doctor is hiding in a far corner of the room, his face ashen white as he takes in the death of his finest creation. Damn dragonball ripoffs. Damn them all to hell. * Togo stalks (no pun intended) toward the doctor. "Now are you going to come *cough* quietly..." * Marguerite proceeds to show him the inside of Bubba's plasma diffuser. "NOW. Where were we? Oh yes. Get up. You're coming with us." * Robert lets the barrels spin down. You're going to make sure that those insane veggies outside leave us alone, too. * Marguerite instantaneously swaps Bubba and the DE again. The man offers no resistance. He does, however, mutter "but the vegetables don't listen to me." Wonderful. ... crap. Wonderful. Just wonderful. Well, we'll have to hope the chopper'll get us at the front door. Let Can we make it to the roof? (Ack.) Good thinking. Okay, Doc, you're a mad scientist, how do we activate the self destruct you've got hidden in the fields outside? * Marguerite turns to the Doc. "There stairs in here?" There is a set of stairs to an upper floor, off to your right. Robert - leave that to the carpet bombers. All we have to do is get out. The doctor mutters something incomprehensible. * Marguerite grabs the doctor and twists his arm behind him, pointing her DE into his head. "Time to fly, Herr Doktor." * Togo whips out his cel phone. "I'll call base. Let's head up to the roof." * Marguerite marches him towards the stairs. The doctor whimpers as Margie twists his arm, but goes along. Alright, then. Just be lucky you're not an Iranian rebel, Doc. Cause then yer brains'd be all over the wall. (s/Iranian/Libyan/. Forgot my own damn character history.) (Shall I walk you through the whole thing, or just say you make it up there alright? (Quickly sounds good.) ( Unless there are traps upstairs, do it quickly. ) ( Ayup ) ( And for god's sakes, no stair-climbing rolls. =P ) (You fail your breathing check! Take a -14 on your walking check! Oops, failed that, too! That means a whole -23 on your climb stairs check!) (Well, + in the BESM system.) (Nonono. I only have rolls for very complicated things. Like perfectly timed layered forcefields to hold you off the floor of an elevator that isn't trapped. ^_^) ( Heh heh... ) (_) ( suckers. One or two traps, and they're sure that everything is trapped. ) ( Such is the Way of the Player. ) (And in all honesty, I wouldn't have done that if you'd been in danger. :P) Okay. You hear the sound of a helicoptor overhead. ( *points to Yu* Would you trust *that* face? ) ( It's a trap. ) Let's hope the vegetables don't have projectiles. (::grins innocently:: O:) ) ... * Robert begins praying to several different supreme beings. (Actually, the jalepenos can shoot fireballs) (I hate you, Robin Strickland.) ( o/~ Hate is very very bad...o/~ ) ( /me loves to hate Robin Strickland. ) ( The helicoptor explodes! Kidding. :P) ( Argh. Mind flashing back to the end of Resident Evil 3. ) You all make it up to the antenna maintenance area with no trouble. A helicoptor is hovering about ten feet above, dangling a ladder down towards you. All you all make it away safely. Wai! [END OF SESSION. DUN DUN DUN.]
