*looks at Riddick and Mike then back to Arthur* Maybe we should stay and see if we can find out how Doom is going to make his own Leviathan and maybe find out who he is working with.

What you think Lacy? Maybe we ought to get out of the ship while they're distracted and see what Riddick knows. If we stay out of tractor beam range we can probably still function.
Oh sorry..talked over you. Okay do you know where Doom is?
The main computer is actually up so we need to take another elevator that goes higher up. I think it was to our left once we get off of this one. And no I don't know where Doom is. He was here according to the information I had collected earlier but he is gone.
*chews on my lower lip a bit* Arthur, do you have any weapons?
Other than you thumb and LSTT?
Let me check. *rummages around in trench coat pockets and pulls out a ball of yarn, a clock, a bag of JuJu Beans and other pieces of useless 'stuff'.* Nope no weapons but I do have my Towel and my THUMB
*pulls out a couple of guns and hand them over to Arthur* Here you can use these.
What...no Jelly Babies????
*Checks guns over, full power charge good...*(re Jelly Babies. Didn't want to infringe on a copywrite)
Let's get to the other elevator before they shoot us. *runs out of the elevator, throwing knives in hand, ducking down as the guards shoot at us, Riddick runs behind me*
...hummm...have a Jelly Belly.* pulls both full sized side arms...and grins again...*to quote another Earth movie, "I can't act...but I can do action."
* whirrrrrrr (door opens) crack, crack, crack, crack,zap, whap whirrrr (door closes us off) elevator music plays *
*throws a knife into a guard yelping as a bullet grazes me cheek* ow!
Crap...*shoots guard, twice, pulls Lacy into elevator making room among other prisoners *
Good to see none of us acquired any mics. ventilation in the run to the elevator.
*clenches teeth* Getting shot really sucks! *presses my hand against my arm, blood seeping out from my fingers*
* smiles at Lacy* I brought these with us...but you'll have to hold off the sleep. * hands a nanobot pill to Lacy then begins to bandage her arm*
*wraps towel around Laceys wound* This help, the nanobots should help the healing process..*notices were getting closer to the computer floor*
* Mike suddenly becomes all business and will be where ever you need him *[This means I have to get up early so I'm logging off. Check back tomorrow afternoon....don't kill my character, :).]
*hisses in pain as my arm is tied up* Thanks guys....I appreciate this. Ow! Still sore and no I'll not take the nanobots. I will do that once we are safe and off this ship. *pushes the pills that contain the nanobots in them away*(Heading to bed too...this is fun...check back tomorrow morning and don't worry Mike we wouldn't kill our character!)
loaned my THUMB to Mike and Lacey and they bugged out leaving just the two of us AND the elevator door is starting open..(hope Mike and Lacey get themseleves a TOWEL will make your landings after using da THUMB much easier)
After loaning out my THUMB and not having my TOWEL I'm kind of stuck here with this Riddick guy AND the elevator doors open further and further.................
*stands beside Riddick, Riddick using his body to protect me* Arthur? Can you see the computer yet?
*Rushes out of elevator and gets off two quick shots* I can see it just off to my right
* follows Arthur off lift firing at visible guards...and smashes into armored blast doors that block doorway in front of us. Look left and see only wall, glance to right to see what Arthur has seen. *
I spy a big box with lots of flashing lights, a couple of tape spools a card reader WHAT the heck is this! Looks like a replica of an old ENTAC. Thought this civ was advanced
*I note a steel plate on top of the machine that reads : Colossus, original design Dr. Charles A. Forbin *Crap....look over by the blast doors, a lens.
* A voice addresses us: "Is that you Dave?" *
*runs behind Riddick, shooting around him as he smashes head first into three guards. Looks into the lens* Dave? Why does that name sound familiar?
Daves not here man but we are. *turns and shouts at computer*"Spill the beans on this Doom guy." It just sit there flashinf lights spooling tape and tells me nothing. Hmmm starting to feel alot like Scottie in that Star Trek episode...then I notice something
....could it be the giant steel doors that are in front of us???? Or is it something else?* shoots the 3 guards in front of Lacy, then ducks the one Riddick threw over my head and bounced off wall behind me *
Thanks, Mike! *walks over to the wall and pushes my hand against, my hand passing through it* It's an illusion! Guys lets go! Hurry! *runs through the wall and disappears*
????....???? I think I might have looked through first, but okay.* puts in fresh mags and follows Lacy *
I see two things, Mike, Lacey and Riddick disappear through a giant steel door and an old fashioned card punch machine. 'Oh drat' I think to myself It's going to take hours to get any data from this old hunk of metal. Hope I can recall enough COBORE or RPG to get any answers from this thing.Wait I hear music, sounds alot like Mary had a little lamb...
Lacy?! Lacy? LLLaaaaccccyyyy??????* don't see Lacy anywhere...don't see much of anything standing in a foggy area of indeterminate size and shape *
I find myself alone with this accursed machine. Oh well.. load some cards into the hopper and prepare to type..but type what? Hey crew where be you? I shout. What am I asking this thing?......the music is getting louder..Mary had a ....
*coughs and walks out of the fog* Mike? Arthur? Where are you guys? This place is creepy and huge!
*shivers* And it just got colder in here. But I found another computer that looks like Doom himself used.
hummmm....wait a second. * closes eyes and reaches out. left hand strikes solid metal...right hand touches, hair...someone's head *Lacy???? Arther???? Someone there?
*gently grabs Mike's hand* It's me, Mike
Okay...hi. Can you see? And what's this metal off to my left here...and where's Arthur? Is he still out there with the old Doomsday Machine?
The metal is a huge computer, not sure where Arthur is, and I can't find the light switch. Maybe you can he me.
Okay....this fog is so thick...lets see, I'll feel along the wall here....oh some kind of switch, maybe the llllllliiiiiii........... * a metallic sliding noise and mikes voice fades as if getting farther away, then goes quite. A few seconds later you hear Mike from a distance *LLaaccyy...watch the floor....
Mike?!? Mike? Where are you? What's going on? *feels the ground moving* OMG! Arthur? Mike?
Llaaccyyy * voice from a distance * I'm not alone down here...I'm in a cell, more of a cage I've found Doom...he's not alone either.Maybe you should see if Arthur's around...and get out of sight.
I don't hear from them so I decide hey I'm here let's ask this PIECE OF RUBBISH a question Hmm how about I ask it the 'answer to the ULTIMATE QUESTIION'. I type out the cards, feed them in and a heart beat latter the lights flash, the tape spools and smoke and sparks and fire emerge from it. Oh carp I say to my self, time to fly and find my teammates and let them know that I realy screwd the pooch on this one...........at least the music stopped......
Be careful, Mike! *slowly makes my way back to the illusion wall and steps through* Arthur!
* fumbling with miniature transmitter *
Arthur, I need your help. Mike has fallen into a cage or something in the other room. He needs our he and I think Riddick may have fallen in too. Mike also said that Doom was in there and he's not alone. *grabs Arthur's hand and drags him back towards the illusion wall*
