Ninefingers and Malarkey backed towards the Northern door. They pressed the release and headed through. This place had become very unpleasant. Stepping forth into new, old territory they left behind the two bodies with a shiver.

Jeffrey dashed in behind along with Bryce. Mercator stumbled in after leaving the silent watching Randolph and Alex to tag in last. Finally Korr knuckled his way through, howling at things.

The room beyond was host to a series of strange rings beneath the reinforced glass floor. There was a wealth of blood and scorch marks across the floor. It was very dry now though. Glancing up Jeffrey's eyes hoped to see a shuttle in the green station. He wasn't disappointed. The group breathed a sigh of relief when they finally saw what they were looking for. The shuttle was docked and ready to board.

Glancing up thoughtfully at the scenery, Ninefingers saw the white box on the ceiling that said moisture detected. No prizes for guessing what this place was.

Wait, what happened to Klaus??

Did he go a different direction?

*Ninefingers groaned, thinking of the loss*

The turret room is compromised. The turret killed Klaus.

Then Klaus came back like Baby Pete did and shot Helios.

I panicked and used my leader gun on Klaus because he didn't die again like Baby Pete did.

##Board Shuttle

We believe it was Patterson's doing. Or the entity calling itself Patterson.

So he came back and was controlled?

##Board: Shuttle

So that really sucks...we lost our revives and we lost our trap sensor...

Here are the events:

Willis @ 19/5/2012 10:39 Ninefingers and Korr sat down in silence. Jeffrey was already sat down. Klaus was the only standing figure, pacing back and forth. Randolph hadn't said anything for days and neither had Alex. They were shell-shocked or something worse. The shell-shock wasn't surprising in Mercator's case. Still they had to push on. There was still a glimmer of hope and they wouldn't give up. There was a strange clicking noise as they were lost in thought. Up above a black shape was descending. Klaus looked up frightfully. Was that a...what the hell? Was that a turret? Klaus glanced over at the others as the turret circled the room. What the hell? This wasn't supposed to.... He dived towards the corner of the room as the turret lit up in a barrage of gunfire. The room flashed in many shades as Ninefingers stood up pointing and shouting. Jeffrey shook his head frantically as gunshots clanked against the metal floor. Blood dripped down in the darkness as the figure groaned and whimpered. Klaus fell to the ground, shaking. His flesh was pouring where the turret had done its horrible work. He glanced up at the group with a pained look. "S...sorry.....g...guy.s...." He coughed, splattering blood on the floor as Jeffrey and Ninefingers rushed over. Bryce stared up in horror at the space where the turret had been. "Y....you're....on your own....from here....." "We can help you Klaus!" Jeffrey said encouragingly. Klaus smiled weakly. "I'd.....like to think....that will happen....." He coughed again. "Let's....hope......it's...." His eyes closed as he whispered out hoarsely into the darkness. "It's been.....a p..pleasure...." And Klaus sagged. Ninefingers felt the pulse and swore up into the heavens. It was just one thing after another now. Willis @ 19/5/2012 10:57 The group looked on at horror as the blood of Klaus dribbled all over the floor. What an ugly sight. As Ninefingers turned away in disgust, Malarkey hobbled to the Northern door, glancing up in terror at the ceiling. What could they do against such a thing? It was horrible. There was a sound as he flipped his head over. His face turned even paler. Klaus was hunched over. Glaring up at the ceiling he shut his eyes and stood upright. The blood was all over the floor but Klaus' body was completely intact. He smiled wearily as he cracked his neck. Then he turned to the side to avoid making eye contact. He proceeded to vommit on the floor quite graphically. There was a lot of blood mixed in. Cleaning himself up he groaned and turned to face the horrified onlookers once more. Willis @ 19/5/2012 11:08 The figure of Klaus glared on at the group who were still stood shaking. This was the infant all over again. Ninefingers backed against a wall. He glanced over at Jeff who was stood right by him. Malarkey was stood the other side. Helios was a little in front, jerking himself backwards from the walking zombie Klaus. Klaus grinned. He flipped his head around. Alex, Mercator and Randolph were stood silently. Korr was stood next to them, growling and stamping his feet. Bryce was the other side of the room altogether. He was watching silently in abject fear. He didn't want to make a sound. Klaus' hand shot into his pack as Helios stepped backwards nervously. "Stay back Klaus...it doesn't have to come to this..." He said weakly. Klaus smiled as his hands cradled the revolver tenderly. It was a nice revolver. Fit for a leader. Ublazrob had been given it way back when. That all seemed oh so long ago. The ante-room...it was such a blur to him now. It all started so hopeful that day...it wasn't hopeful being cast into a dungeon but there was the hope of getting out and they'd picked teams. They'd worked together. And then it had all...like a flash...collapsed. He glanced up at the ceiling where the turret had come from with a pained expression before glancing at his own body. Good as new. He smiled as he cradled ublazrob's leadership revolver. They'd sworn to only ever fire it in the case of emergencies. Klaus picked up the revolver, turned and pulled the trigger. *BANG* Blood splattered on the floor in the already gory room. The onlookers looked physically sick as Helios put his hand over the bullet hole. He withdrew his hand which was covered in blood. Glaring at Klaus through his haze he pointed with his bloody and only hand shaking. "Obv....obvscu...obvscum...." He said wearily before dropping to the floor on his knees and falling over dead. Klaus smiled as he tossed the shell of the gun aside. It clattered across the floor. It was functionally useless now. Willis @ 19/5/2012 11:41 Ninefingers growled as he shook himself from fear. The emotion of rage was far stronger. He spat at the figure as he swept his hand into his pack. Pulling out the revolver of their...fair... He spat at the idea.... Their once "wonderful" king, he lined it up to Klaus' body and pulled the trigger. More blood poured onto the floor as Klaus stared up at the ceiling silently. He fell to the ground in the puddle before muttering something once more. Then he shouted with a hoarse and pained voice. "Abeo!" Ninefingers growled at the demonic tongues. He did not like to be mocked. He attempted to fire another round but the revolver was dead. Flinging it angrily at the face of Klaus, the fallen figure smiled once more. "Cave Canem.... et pedicas!" It shouted before collapsing in a bloody heap. The revolver came to rest on the floor. Spent and useless, it lay right next to the other. The gun barrels crossed slightly where they lay. Two guns which were given for "protection" at the start of their journey. There was no protection any more. There were no kings or leaders. There was just chaos and death. Ninefingers punched the floor, screaming out into the night as the others flopped down sadly. Quote Abeo! - Depart / go away / die / vanish / transformed / pass ??? Nihil verum nisil mors = nothing is true but death Sit tibi terra levitas = May the earth rest lightly on you" — a benediction for the dead, often inscribed on tombstones or other gravestones. Ego paenitet = I regret? Ego voluit nemo hoc = I didnt want any of this Tantum sequi iubet = only following orders Imis purgando = deepest apologies

Those translations at the end were what Malarkey did with the posts Latin Klaus was making.

Also the spirit took the other Walkie Talkie. Unless Klaus stealthily passed it to someone else on our team.

So did Klaus explain anything or did you just shoot him as soon as he shot Helios?

And I'm sure I wasted my gun, but it was a panic reaction. I didn't know/remember Klaus had a gun, so I didn't know if he had anything else to use on the group.

It's weird how it could speak to us just fine through the Walkie Talkie but when it comes face to face it's all in Latin.

Bryce @ 19/5/2012 15:36

So did Klaus explain anything or did you just shoot him as soon as he shot Helios?

It was Baby Pete part 2. The turret killed him, he came back and was making those black, right aligned latin posts. I wasn't paying attention to the thread until he had already killed Helios. After that he was still standing there. I insulted it, it shot back at me in that translated latin, and then I shot it.

So this means Roth and whomever was with him is probably dead. Or one of them were evil. We mused that the demon probably used Rayne's body to get into that room and cause trouble since they had lynched him/her.

Is it possible that Roth could be controlling this evil spirit? It seemed to be right with us ready to possess Klaus as soon as he died. Same with Baby Pete. It was like it was with us all along just waiting for us to kill someone with a weapon.

Yeah I know what you mean. But if they're both dead, that means we're the last people left...

We really need everyone to come on and start being active.

We need to be able to track Cerbie because he was hot on our trail last time we checked, correct?

I mean, I wish I had a more valuable role or items, but I just don't. All I can offer is my activity and doing what you need me to.

We need to get out of here alive.
