Galaxy's Edge Space Bar

[Nero's Fury]

Okaru kept in constant motion, pushing himself. His full power had one massive upside.

If i use my speed enough till I have unlocked my second level, I will be fine for sure...Okaru thought to himself as he landed atop the bar.

Then as a sort of tease, Okaru dropped and began to swing multiple kicks at Ossanlin's head. But he would stop as soon as it was close enough to his head before vanishing.

So it would almost seem to random bystanders, that 30 okaru's began to swing and kick at Ossanlin before one by one they slowly vanished from sight and Okaru jumped away again.

Why do I try to intimidate this being? Okaru thought midflight.

[Chad32]

Claxter wasn't sure what was going on. The Human vanished, then his sword was planted into the ground, then there were dozens of them all around Ossanlin. Was it holograms? Surely no being could keep up a speed that fast for more than a few seconds, unless it was a robot. <<Are we dealing with an android here?>> He asked his allies privately? He drew his weapons, but he didn't know where to shoot.

[Terenia]

<<A hologram seems likely,>> Efaen says, coming to a similar conclusion. <<Our foe appears to be projecting illusions of himself in various threatening positions.>> She notices Claxter pull his Shredder, <<Stand down, you may injure Prince Ossanlin on accident. He told us not to involve ourselves unless absolutely necessary. I believe our Prince is more than capable of eliminating this creature.>>

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin watches impassively as Okaru seems more intent upon trying to show off his moves instead of actually doing any damage.  His ony reaction to the human's shadow image kicks are to raise his twin katana into a semi-defensive position around his upper body, still remaining stoic and silent, a statue amidst all the showy flurries of movement.

He doesn't recognize the somewhat monotone voice in his head...he is too distracted to look at who or whatever had spoken, but every little bit of information would help.

[Chad32]

Claxter didn't want to put his shredder away, but Efaen was right that his Prince said only act if he really needed it. Unfortunately if this guy was really as fast as he seemed it could be over before they get a chance to intervene. He lowered his shredder, but didn't holster it.

[Nero's Fury]

Flipping through the air, to slam to a halt on the side of a tree, Okaru craned his neck as he drew his blade free and launches through the air at Ossanlin swinging his blade down in a trully powerful swing. Using all of his momentum, he hoped it would end before it started.

[Myitt]

"Still nothing here," Corliss reports to Illim and Terenia, frowning at the screens.  "Just that tiny downward spike in energy, system diagnostics can't figure a reason for it."

He looks over at Illim.  "Look, I know what Salem's ship looks like, and if this wasn't Efaen's work then I'm willing to bet he had something to do with it.  I'm going to find him.  Terenia, did you hear that?"

[Luke Skywalker (Ossanlin)]

Ossanlin raises both katana above his head as Okaru descends, moving his blades to intercept Okaru's own.  He pushes off to his right side with a heave of andalite strength as he steps to the left, not trying to stop Okaru's movement, but only to redirect it slightly as he steps out of the way.

[Nero's Fury]

With a grin Okaru smiled and grabbed his other blade as he continued his flight.

Rolling to a crouch he stood and turned to look at Ossanlin over the 10 foot gap. Then again seemed to vanish.

He hoped his energy would sustain him easily enough to tap into his ascended level. He had never tried to get something over so quickly so the risk may be to great...and he new it.

Flipping and arranging himself properly, he flew past the few stragglers near the door, a android or cyborg of some type catching his eye for a tenth of a second.

Landing inside the bar he spun and hoped moving as fast as he did, that he had been unnoticed. That would allow him a few seconds of breathing time.

Being show offy was one of my major flaws, he thought to himself with a sigh.

[RAFrukh]

((Your characters grin quite often...it's starting to creep me out. Rofl))

We kept our calculations fresh and our interphasic scanner on omnidirectional. We noted Claxter raising his shredder, and we reached for our Quantryon beam and raised our SION weapon.

[warren_bearclaw]

((Yep, Yeerks totally have... anesthetic or whatever that they squirt ^_^))

Salem watched intently as Sapptus wriggled out of Jasper's ear. Once the Yeerk was in Jasper's hand, Salem's heart skipped a beat. He recognized that sluglike form...

"That's a Yeerk?" he asked. "Ah..." He quickly seemed to shake himself off and began pulling bits of equipment from drawers on the wall. As he did, he asked, "So... how does he communicate in his natural form?"

Al glanced over at Salem, stood up, and smiled at Jasper. He laughed, "I'm sorry if I'm being rude. No, I'm not human. Take a deep breath and get ready here," he said, smiling warmly. "This might not be something you've seen before." With that, he slowly dropped his hologram, so that his image faded from his smiling face to the grinning form of a Chee robot. "This is my favorite body these days. I guess if you have to know what I really am... I'm an AI. A robot, I guess is what I'd be in this form."

"He uh... doesn't, really. He tells me that Yeerks can kinda click at each other when they're in their pools, but... other than that, he's basically a slug. No offense, buddy." He says, as if forgetting that he was deaf as well as mute. He then looks back at Al, who's telling him to take a deep breath. "Why -" He begins, before letting his jaw kinda fall. He stammered for a bit, trying to figure out something semi-intelligent to say. But eventually he simply settled for "Oh... wow....." He couldn't believe it. All his geeky dreams were coming true. Not only was this a robot, but an actual AI... one that had fooled him into thinking him human. It made sense for Al to not define himself as the physical hardware that he currently operated, but rather, as the programming that operated it. Not that he was typically fluent, anyways, but this was just way too cool for him to think of anything to say.

[Terenia]

<Yeah, I heard,> Terenia snaps, sounding irritated. <You're going to go off and leave me here to fend for myself. Do me a favor and actually close the hatch this time around, alright? I don't want that dapsen traipsing in here while I'm helpless.>

[KitsuneMarie]

Illim walks towards the screens and gives them a cursory sweep of his eyes. "I could protect Terenia and the ship. Or cover you, Corliss, if you'd rather me stay away from her. I mean, I know you don't really know me." He gives an awkward shrug and sighs. "Look, I'm happy to do whatever you ask."

[Aluminator (Kit)]

Salem watched Jasper's reaction to Al's form and smiled, shaking his head ever so slightly. He and Al had often had disagreements about how public they should make information such as Al's true form- Salem was usually uncomfortable revealing anything more about themselves than was necessary- but he still enjoyed seeing the reactions to Al's revelation.

Salem nodded silently at Jasper's answer. Swallowing a lump that kept threatening to block his throat, he began scanning the Yeerk in Jasper's hand with a rod attached by a cable to a small pack that he'd stuck in his pocket.

"So he's primarily aquatic, right?" Salem asked. "Do... Yeerk populations usually outnumber host populations in Yeerk environments?" He finished his scan and stuck the rest of the device in his pocket, then walked over to the raised 'workbench' and cleared an area. "Would you mind setting him down for a minute? I need to get a couple of scans without you in them."

Al, in the meantime, ****ed his robotic head curiously as he looked at Sapptus, then caused some sort of alien song with a strong, fast bass beat to begin emanating softly from within the ship, figuring Saptus might enjoy it. He earned a slight glare from Salem, but ignored it and began doing 'the robot' without turning his hologram back on.

[Chad32]

Both Claxter and Jagill lost track of Okaru, and looked around for him. Jagill was right beside the door, but if he felt Okaru move past him he'd just think it was wind. He didn't look behind him into the room.


<<He probably doesn't want us hanging around inside his ship, and I don't want to lend Terenia my body.>> Derrel said. He didn't want to be controlled by someone as high strung as she was.
