WHO: Ace Rimmer and open to anybody coming to Stark Tower to check out the 'Porter with him.
WHERE: The Tower.
WHEN: Evening of 6/9/09.
WARNINGS: Nah.
SUMMARY: Ace needs info that only the 'Porter can give him. Time to storm the castle.
FORMAT: Quicklog! For a change.
(
Bye bye, boys. Have fun storming the castle! )
I can tell you the origins, Commander. They were engineered on my home world about...oh, time travel taken into consideration, three hundred years after I was born, three million years before I became a hologram.
[He grins.]
Long story, I'll tell you over a beer some time. They were made to be soldiers, essentially. Perfect, non-lethal soldiers. Send in a cluster of Polymorphs, have 'em suck all the aggression out of an entire army, and Bob's your mother's brother, you've got no more war. Of course, what with the human race being extinct on my timeline, the ones we're dealing with haven't had a proper human meal in three million years. It's no wonder they're going a bit bananas.
[Then, he addresses Tony.]
Good. Could you please roll back to the beginning of Monday. That's when the first attack occurred. I want to see how many of these little perishers we're dealing with.
((OOC: The mods have requested that we fail in this little endeavor. So! The video is corrupted and no amount of fiddling with it will clear it up. As for what everybody's doing...well, um. A Polymorph's about to show up...feel free to introduce it if you want, Kirkmun.))

[ooc: I already volunteered Spock to be effected. Perhaps in his effort to capture one the polymorph one could go ahead and nom him? If one goes after him it'll turn into old!Spock, ftr. Also, they could kill it very shortly after, since the plot is basically over in real time anyhow. So, yeah. Assuming that's cool, idk.]

Accessing video--
[ Tony only finds corrupted files in the Security Tapes. ]
They're corrupted. I think we know who to blame for that.

[He's glancing out the door every second or so, and then back to Tony's work. He smacks his fist into his palm and then sighs.]
We've got to figure out some way to count the things, otherwise we're never going to know when we're done fighting them. I...
[He doesn't get to finish. As Spock, Kirk and Nygma creep down the hallway, a doorknob flows off a door behind them like water, where it cascades to the ground and 'morphs into a gigantic spider. A gigantic spider. Like...six feet tall and 180 pounds worth of spider. It raises a leg and lets out an inhuman shriek (which is what interrupted Ace), trying to knock all three of the men in the hall down to the ground.]

As it is, the creature lumbers around a bit. Seems like the tranquilizer did little more than disorient it. Spock makes a mental note that the giant spiders are to be avoided and makes a quick dash back towards the others.]

I will not stand by and allow the destruction of this creature. Perhaps if I were to--
[Whatever Spock was going to say is cut off by a loud roar from the spider thing. Mere moments later the polymorph has turned into a crawling slug creature that, he would estimate, is about 3 feet long with greyish purple skin and a wide teeth filled mouth. It begins to move down the hallway at remarkable speed for lacking legs. Spock waits for a moment, then giving Jim a glance that he hopes the Captain understands, starts to follow it.]
((ooc: Hey, guys. Sorry for the epic delay and I hope it's cool that I somewhat ended the direct polymorph attack. If not, I can rewrite, no prob.]

When the thing reverted to form, Edward narrowed his eyes at the specimen. How curious, really.]

It's heading out. It's no longer a direct threat. Let's get what we came for.

All right. Stark, Nygma, can you two try to unscramble any info you find here? I'm going after the Polymorph with Kirk and Spock. We've got to get that thing before it gets anybody else.
((We can wrap it up with the team splitting up, if you guys want?))
