Initiating Quarantine Protocol.

Feb 12, 2012 19:59

There is a concrete bunker that's never been seen in Milliways before, out by the lakeside under the red sky.

But the door might look familiar.

The twin gun turrets twenty yards in front of the door though? Yeah, those are new ( Read more... )

His first goal is to get out of range of BRAD's guns before the revised AI targets him and turns him into a heap of smoldering ash.

After that, he can go to work on figuring out how to solve this mess.

It turns out that when he's really motivated, Nathan Stark could set a track record or two.

The doors snap shut, almost in frustration at the violator's escape.

But the guns are now trained on the door to the main building.

The best defense is a good offense.

In the snow, even in the red-tinged moonlight, a dark green longcoat and a bright blue hood ought to show up very visibly.

Even if they're being worn by a scrawny barely-adolescent, crouched down as small as she can get in the shelter of a snowbank, eyeing the gun turrets with wary calculation.

One of the most fundamental sensors BRAD still maintains? Heat sensors.

The gun turrets readjust towards the newest threat.

...Smaller than Doctor Stark. Who is this?

She has come too far to turn back to her cave now. Even if it weren't for the reasons she left her cave to begin with, early this afternoon.

Nepeta eyes the yellow squares of light in the distance that mean the bar, and gnaws her lower lip thoughtfully.

Something that might be a projectile arcs high from concealment.

The projectile is easy for the turret to reposition towards

Enzo is making a sweep of the outside, to see if anything else has changed beyond the rather abrupt snow and the treefort's plague of vermin. The cold, at least, benefits him. The effects aren't as extreme as on, say, a Discworld troll, but he's very sharp and alert right now.

(He also has no scannable body heat.)

He spots the new landscape feature from the air, and swings past at a cautious distance. Might be more bad weirdness, might just be Milliways.
