Voxx runs after Maxim, trying to get to the android...
With willing melee opponents suddenly in short supply, Voxx sheaths his sword and pull his scattergun out, shooting at the flying ysoki
The bot's attack scratches against Voxx's armor and he laughs, You'll have to do better than that, bot-boy!" He slashes his sword against the bot's metallic frame...
Voxx leaps at a nearby drone, plasma sword flashing...
Voxx takes the dwarf's blows like a champ, shouting at the diminutive foe, "Much better! You put those other cultists to shame! " Then he returns the favor...
Moving like Maxim's big Vesk shaped shadow, Voxx keeps in contact with the dwarf...
Voxx smiles at Maxim's comment, and attempts to cut into the dwarf again...
Voxx grins, sure that his display with his sword intimidated the shadow into leaving. He focuses his intent on one of the remaining cultists...
Voxx launches himself at the Shadow, his plasma sword leaving a bright streak in the air...
Voxx leans against the ancient metal wall of the airlock, waiting for the smarter ones to get the door open, thinking I really should have paid more attention in Uncle Jrex's Archaeo-Engineering lectures...
Voxx scratches his head as he watches the other engage in computery warfare against the rogue AI. When it's dispatched and the friendly AI outlines what may happen if they fail to secure the Stellar Degeneration thingy, he adds, "Yeah, I'm good to go ! "
Somehow an arc of electricity surged across the room and hit Voxx square in the chest...he'd been keeping an eye out for wayward Shadows. "Ouch!! You guys press the wrong button or sumthin' ?"
Voxx follows Maxim into the room, eyes sharp for that Shadow. He looks at all the equipment without too much interest, "Well...keeps things interesting at least!"
As the shadow retreated, Voxx struck out with his sword...
Ordinarily,he'd be able to step up and keep contact with the shadow, but the wall gets in his way...he follows Maxim in pursuit...
Blades flash as the cultist try to make Voxx cutlets, but only one of their strikes ring true! Voxx smiles as his armor protects him, and smiles even wider when the shadow pops back through the wall, striking out at the shadowy adversary...
Whirling around, he the attacks the nearby cultists...
"Ha, this is more like it!" Voxx declares as the shadows retreat and the flesh and bone cultists close distance. His sword flashes as he slashes at the cultist to his north...
Voxx moves to surround the nearby shadow, his plasma sword humming through the air...
Voxx growls, "Yer a lot of trouble for something that's only half there....". He takes a mighty swing at the shadow with his sword...
Voxx tries to roll away from the blast of the grenade, but even so only takes a few scratches. However, when the shadow emerges from the wall and slides it's incorporeal limb through his armor...."Ow! That's cold...and it hurts!" he exclaims. He nods his appreciation to Gorn as the other warrior hits the shadow with a blast. Activating his sword, Voxx moves to finish off the shadow...
Voxx nods sagely along with the discussion of the complexity of AI relations, the gamely follows along to the next location. As Takeda opens the door and get's attacked, Voxx likewise adopts a Defensive stance...
Voxx chuckles at Takeda's joke, even if it wasn't one. He follows the others into the room, looking about suspiciously. When the hologram activates , Voxx's sword is in his hand in a flash. But, when he sees that's its a harmless computer projection, he shakes his head and chuckles at himself. Then he crosses his arms and waits for someone smarter talk to the holo.
Voxx also checked out the dead cultists' gear, but found nothing of interest...except the grenades. Taking the remaining grendades, he looks up and find the others have gone on without him. Trotting to catch up , he arrives at the doorway just as the curtain of electricity lights up his comrades, "Geez guys, what are you doing in here? " he asks , looking around the room.
Voxx smiling that he's now in his element, up close and personal, chops as the nearby cultist...
sorry guys...combination of not getting my reminder numbers and being busy. feel free to bot Voxx at any time if there's a delay in posting . my rule for combat is to bot after 24 hrs....
Similarly grabbing his pack, Voxx shoulders his rifle, "Yep...let's go a-hunting! "
Voxx nods as Gorn continues to maneuver closer to the ground, but he still has to wait for the critter itself to follow...
Voxx takes aim at the thingy again, tracking....tracking , until sure that Gorn wasn't in the way, [b]"Yeah, bring it down here so we can share...the realizes that they were too far away for an effective shot. He bides his time...
Voxx watches the destruction of the creature and a lot of jungle , eyes wide with excitement, only uttering a long drawn out "Oooooooooo!" As the vessel lurches onto the landing pad, Voxx hops out and , still using the Sledgehammer for cover, takes aim at the flying thing accosting Gorn...
"Heh Heh, let me in on the fun!" Voxx shouts at Takeda over the noise of the wind. Bracing himself against the bulkhead, he aims and fires...
"I don't have any flyin' stuff, but I can tag along on Takeda's rope....don't want to miss any fun!" Voxx says from the back of the bridge.
Voxx holds himself steady as the big ship shudders under the control of Takeda, but he keeps a quip to himself, knowing how difficult it must be dealing with all of those gravitational eddies.
I guess it's just been my experience if someone's absent for a period of time, and they want to stay in the game, the GM bots them in combat and when their skills fill a particular need. I think there have been a few comments about wishing EK was back. In game , he never left, we're just not using him. Just my two cents :)
gotta ask again.....why aren't we botting EK?
Voxx saunters into the bridge, and leans against one of the support columns, and peers at the display, "So ,what exactly are we lookin' at ?"
Voxx presses the reset button on his gunnery pod, it's servos and heatsinks sigh as extra heat was let out. He pipes up on the battle-net, "I'm all for some personal ship-to-ship hijinks, but weren't you lot all on a save the universe as-soon-as-possible mission? Scrap 'em and move on!"
The ammo indicator on his missiles begins to glow red, so Voxx taps some buttons , then smashes some buttons, growling "Damn it to the Void! Dammed hydrogen recombulatorer is overheating! " Continuing to growl in frustration, Voxx targets the big crazy with his Laser Net....
... then he throws out some laser light in case anything was coming their way...
He mutters, "At least lasers don't overheat! "
Voxx smiles an evil smile as Imagine brings the ol' Sledgehammer in behind the Crazies' ship, both of his targetting reticles flashing green...
His weapons discharged, one re-loading from its magazine, the other recharging its emitter coils, Voxx relaxes a little commenting, "Don't mention Chinatown...you'll make me hungry! "
"They don't have to be crazy for me too shoot them up!" Voxx cracks over the battle net... As the ships jockeyed for position in 3 dimensions, Voxx had to wait for the opportunity to fire as ships passed with his arcs of fire...
The dance of maneuvering has placed the big ship in the arc of his Laser net...
And as is his habit, he keeps the lasers hot in case anything comes a bit too close...
Is there an issue with just Botting EH for now?
With a growl, Voxx sees his missile salvo miss the big ship entirely. Reaching over he makes some adjustments to the firing servo, then happy ,fires again...
He sees that the other fighter was off to port, so he lays the targetting reticle over it's glowing icon and fires...
Voxx frowns as he sees none of the wonderful graphics indicating impacts on the other ships, but he does see the New Laser score a hit! Then as expected their adversary fires upon the Sledgehammer, and Voxx responds with his own lazery defense!
Voxx smiles as the missiles fly out through space, his system tracking their impact on the other ships. His grin gets wider as one of the fighters gets knocked out of commission, his fingers flying across the controls as the bigger vessel maneuvers..."Yer not getting away..." Targeting reports a lock and the missiles are away once again...
He sees that the other fighter was astern, so he fired the Laser Net at the big'un as well...
Voxx settles into the Gunner pod for the forward minimissle batteries, poking buttons and glowing indicators until all is just like he likes it. He listens in on the ship wide tac-net, as his ship-mates do their thing... Then getting the go ahead, he cracks his knuckles and lets loose with the missiles...
Voxx's eyes widen as Gorn's tirade just keeps on going , and going and escalating... When the the man finished, Voxx leaned over and commented to Imagine, "Uh...did they date or something?" Later he takes up station on whatever gun need manning...
Seeing that the space alien had become , for now, a non-threat, Voxx sheathes his sword and takes his seat once again. He watches EH-RK pilot the ship, he's a fair hand at steering a ship, but seems the android knows a thing or two he doesn't.
When the creature had manifested , Voxx's sword escaped it's sheath with a hiss... Maxim's diplomatic effort forestalls his assault, however. He stands ready , his teeth clenched, waiting for his moment to attack.
Voxx greets the other Vesk informally, joking with him about making officer. As the tour of the ship continues, he asks the officer "So, how many spacers on standby...might need some crew on this bad boy!" Later he shrugs at Willow's question, "I'm no spacer, but whenever I've been a passenger on one of these, I bunked in the cargo bay...it not a hoity toity yacht that's for sure!"
Foxx slides his slate over to Maxim, "There you go, the Clan's got a ship for lease...."
Voxx grabs his slate from his kitbag, and begins typing an official communique to his Clan Elders: "Elders, a possible solution to the Clan's continued burden of maintaining berths on the Station for the unused capital ships from Operation Firey Salvo. As you know, I have been associated , with honor, with the Starfinders for some time. Now I've been attached to a group whose mission is vital to the security of the Core Worlds...details are on a need to know basis...face to face if needed. They propose purchasing one or more of the vessels, for a fair price.
He lays the slate back on the table, and looks up, "There...now we'll see what they say..." he grabs a handful of bangers, munches, then calls out to the waitress for more.
Voxx listens and watches as his new comrades talk about money and ships...then Maxim's friend shows up and starts talking about books and vids and insurance and crowdfunding...and Voxx's head starts to hurt. Scratching his head, "I dunno about all that you're all taking about, but I think my Clan has some big ships left over from some action they got into a few years back. Not entirely sure, I'm not a spacer. I'm sure if you offered them the right amount of credits and/or information they'd make a deal...even if it was just for parts. " |
