I know who should command our unit...

AT this point, I am half-temped to have Heidi step in and say "ACCEPTED. Gentlemen, pack up. Templar and Marcus, lead the van out of here. Alpha, would you like to be in the center, so you can cover both sets?"

But hell, I laughed when I saw Havoc's response. Genius. Now we know how to get the bot to cooperate. Cause enough of a public disturbance that he complies just to save you all form further embarrassment.

In a way. If he openly escorts us back to Ultima the situation would only become worse what with the media here now.

Yes and no. It can't get much worse and if the Bot doesn't start yelling it from the rooftops you can play it off possibly and make it at least look like you're doing it right.

The CPD arrived, and apparently because some of the squabbling apparently had the CPD getting irritated.
This confused me.

The only such squabbling that could ever have been relevant were the command issues regarding riot police.


Given the Contradiction line from Charon it leads me to believe that you folks are under the impression that I countermanded an order from you, toward the police. Which is something I distinctly did not do. Please advise.

The only reason the cops are nervous because of Ultima is well...it's Ultima... and hearing a bunch of Ultima agents squabbling tends to put most people at unease

Just so I'm clear I'm counting 3 robots/and or cyborgs on the team... Is that right?

Rheonix? You're a stupid motherfucker too.

Do you know how fucking EASY you just made it for Havoc to have Alpha say "No, I'm not moving until you get this Agent Hawk on the line"??

Remind me to have Heidi kick your ass.

Ok, I have to ask, mainly since I posted due to impatience (and yes, I'll stop doing that): Charon, what does Inferno mean by "go prepare us for transport?"

Did he literally mean what you said at the end of the post, which was "go sit in the van"?

Actually, it was the polite way of saying "Bitch! Get in the van and stop being a fuckin' idiot".

See, shit like this is why Legion stepped back;

Inferno was handling it.

Basically what you had Templar doing, was confusing the situation, by trying to bring the guy in all alone, and putting up more roadblocks along the entire way.

Again, this should have been a ridiculously easy "talk and bring in" that has just gone horribly wrong....

Not everyone's a team player at the beginning of a team. I'm playing Templar exactly in character - he thinks half of what happened is a gigantic waste of time. He wants to get this mech, whole and unharmed, back to headquarters so he can go home and sleep.

Basically, he's never had to be part of a team before, having worked either alone or sometimes with partners before, and doesn't yet see the value in doing so.

Even Saibot saw the value of working with a team.

He just got pissed off when the team did shit that it wasn't supposed to (like teleporting in before he gave the O.K.), which lead to bad things in his fragile clone mind.

And while Templar doesn't see the value of working with a team, he should also be a experienced enough Agent to know that while working with a team, you don't try going rogue.


But as you said, your playing your character to his own personality, which Is fine.

Don't be surprised when Legion lays into him back at HQ..if Inferno doesn't first.

That is a good point, actually.

Anyone mind if I edit my post, or is it too late?

Play your character and ignore our grumblings. But as DS said, expect us to be in character when we lay into him with words (and bullets... IGNORE ME!).

Alright, part of the character it is. This is going to be interesting.

Is that what it is? Cause I got a different version.
"I think I know why Blackheart kept threatening to kill us all the time now..."
Never threatened to kill me or Hotfoot, mostly just Saibot and Argent who seem to do their level best to ignore him.


And Rhoenix? That was just silly man.
