They say you can't smell in that state, but Yuri smelled it long before contact. Sure she heard the Chuff...Chuff... of its breath like a small steam engine and the click of its killing claws against the bulkhead, saw malevolent eyes with slits down the middle hover disembodied in the dark, occasionally snapped over by quivering nictating membranes ( Read more... )

Samus crossed her arms looking over the set up she had created. Well, more remembered. Creativity was not the hunter's strength, so her course reflected her latest mission. However, the Sensoriums had done an excellent job recreating it. Samus was impressed at the details when she had run it the first time. Perfect for her team ( Read more... )

In the corner of one of the sensoriums, the meatship's resident Cajun stood at a table rotating a glass of half-drunk bourbon with his fingers. The loud thump of bass echoed throughout the room and even, perhaps, beyond into the hallway where it might attract passersby. When Gambit, bored out of his mind with nothing to do, had asked for a ( Read more... )

The Chief is in the sensorium, and he once again has it replicating the gun range on Reach. He's known this room since childhood, though not counting sensorium use he hasn't seen it in at least a decade.

It's a sizable range with twenty-five and fifty yard lines. Most surfaces back around the gun benches are padded to help absorb sound, though it's ( Read more... )

Panting heavy, the man dressed in to many layers and more than a little dirty rested his hands against his knees. So far he had managed to run through the entirety of the last three hours of Serenity Valley for his unit a grand total of three and a half times. Rubbing the sleeve of the torn and grimy jacket over his brow Captain Malcolm Reynolds ( Read more... )

Earlier, somewhere in the Vatican's outbuildings:
Carefully, Murphy poured a little of the precious liquid into a dish, then placed the bottle far, far away. He nodded to his brother who then, with great ceremony (and from a safe distance) lit a match and tossed it in.

The flame burnt fast, bright, and blue.

The twins grinnedThe next flame burnt ( Read more... )

[ooc: Read this bit.]Something happens outside the ship. There's a concussive noise like something docking, and then the doors to Obs open again, to reveal a mostly intact, but somewhat bedraggled away team. One of them is injured, and part of the group works to get her down to MedBay, some of the others look stoic and a touch upset with what they' ( Read more... )

Kelly had been wandering around the living area of the ship, and like most of the other occupants, it seemed that she'd found the sensoriums.  It took her awhile to figure out how to effectively use the unit she was in, but once she did it was better than any workout she'd ever had. Taking a long while to instruct the room how to build her scenario ( Read more... )

After sampling what passed for food around here--Stacy really needed to get her hands on some cayenne pepper, maybe a little garlic, some parsley, oregano and bay leaves---Gambit found himself wandering around the city by himself.  After making the rounds, he eventually stumbled upon the statuary, a large hall full of a various statues from a ( Read more... )

[[OOC: Read this before tagging.]]

It seems like things around the ship have been getting rather lively lately.

And now, it's about to get even more lively.

||Pod Release Protocols Initating|| Stacy's familiar voice sounded out to all the podmates.

In the Pod Caverns, there were the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. ( Read more... )
