Persona - The True Self

Working on Mako's response as we speak. I will be done shortly.

Persona - The True Self

This one might have openings very, very soon.

We seem to have some inactive players you see.

@Sho Minazuki

The Moon isn't one of the openings. That's mine. Sorry for my inactivity, but I lost most of my computer access recently. I'm... Trying to work around that.

@EnterTheHero

So, how far is the car lifted up? Are we talking a few feet or a few stories?

@Marik

Not far. Maybe to Gabriel's eye level, or just above it. So, around five or six feet.

Icon could always just show up and dropkick the box into the sun....

@nitemare shape

No deus ex Icon-ica, please.

Gabriel sighed as his request was refused. Not for the refusal, he'd anticipated that. She didn't seem the giving-myself-in type. No, it was something else that irked him. He raised a hand as the girl prepared to (in her mind) drive a fist through his head, and a green haze of what looked like electricity surrounded her, stopping her in her tracks. He took a glance at the ongoing analysis of whatever marvelous metal the girl had shifted her flesh into. It had impressive qualities, to be sure. But it was still metal. Which meant it fell under his sway. Though she couldn't tell, he fixed her with a head look behind his visor.

"Not lasers, particle beams. Completely different process. Not that I really need it, as you can see. Intimidation, mostly." He smiled, mostly for his sake, than for hers, as he lifted her into the air. "So. Perhaps you'd like to rethink your strategy?"

Of course, the current crowning moment of his career (yeah, not a great start) was soon cut short by the sound of tires peeling out. He frowned behind his visor, and saw, through AEGIS, a yellow town-car driving away from the back of the truck. Which was now open. And empty of whatever had been within. Which, considering there were now two separate parties going after whatever was in this truck, was obviously important, and likely dangerous in the wrong hands.

...Oh, godDAMMIT. With an almost contemptuous gesture, he sent the metal meta flying, as time started to go liquid in his mind, and everything began to slow.

Begin analysis.

Designate priority: Package/"Whatsinthebox"

Designate first suspect: Meta/"Maverick." Highly strong. Lacks restraint. Containment required.

ARTEFACT-02: Engage. Quantity 2. Command: detain Meta/"Maverick"

Designate second suspect: "Thiefcar." Number of suspects: unknown. Meta presence: unknown. Suspect/"Thiefcar" in posession of Package/"Whatsinthebox."

Isolate pursuit of Suspect/"Thiefcar." Detain.

Consider: Meta/"Maverick" and Suspect/"Thiefcar" both consider Package/"Whatsinthebox" priority.

Conclusion: Package/"Whatsinthebox" is HIGHLY desirable/valuable/dangerous. Separation of package from suspects is ideal.

Adding consideration and conclusion to analysis. Processing.

Processing complete.

Designation altered: Important/"Whatsinthebox"

New priority objective added: acquire Important/"Whatsinthebox." Secondary objective to detain suspects as needed once priority objective is complete.

Analysis: complete.

Course of action: decided.

ENGAGE PROGRAM.

Time dropped out of its liquid state as a pair of robotic entities materialized out of thin air next to him. They resembled him, somewhat, but less human, less organic-looking. He quickly uplinked to the two of them, his vision going triplicate briefly as his mind adjusted to the sensory input from the LEGION drones. Two of them launched off in the direction of Maverick, palms glowing in preparation for combat. Gabriel himself launched off in the direction of the car, quickly identifying it among the throng of traffic travelling down the street. Quickly catching up, he flew past it a fair way, until he could land in front of it. The reason for which quickly became clear as Gabriel thrust his hands forward, and a haze of green surrounded the town-car.

And then, suddenly, the car came to a quick stop as Gabriel lifted the car from the street, its wheels spinning uselessly as Gabriel floated the car toward him, turning the passenger side toward him. With a flick of his wrist, the both doors on the side of the car facing him opened, exposing the passengers inside.

"Yeah, that trunk? Not yours, either."

Configure: Hex-Feather Modules- SUPRESS. The Modules floated somewhat threateningly closer to the thieves, crackling with electricity.

"So. This is how things are going to go. I'm going to grab that package in your trunk, and then I'm going to leave. If you guys sit there quietly, you can leave when I do. Try anything funny, I tase you so hard that you end up without bladder control for days. Understand?"

I'll keep that in mind... should him and Rach ever meet. She'll beat the crap out of him for it, if he's like that IC. :p

@Fallenreaper

Nah. Just me. Gabriel is a pretty humble fellow.

<Snipped quote by EnterTheHero>

Not if Maverick has anything to say about it! (ง’̀-‘́)ง

@Robeatics

If she's still made of metal by my next post, then no, she won't have anything to say about it.

Cocky shit aren't you? :p

@Fallenreaper

Yep.

All of which is likely to be a moot point, since Gabriel is pretty well-equipped to make sure nobody has the box by episode's end.

Not rude at all! I wasn't talking about Icarus/Maverick. I'm talking about how Ares sent Icon to China and this post. It has been a month or so, it is understandable for forgetting about some of this stuff. :D

@Dedonus

Well, I made Gabriel's character sheet literally just over a week ago. So I've been trying to play a lot of catch up on recent events.

An alert chimed in Gabriel's visor as he more or less fell toward the city of Lost Haven below. He rolled his eyes. Never fails- something always needs my attention just when I'm getting to the good part. He pulled out of his dive, just above the level of Lost Haven's more lofty buildings.

"I see it, Daedalus. Isolate incident- what are we dealing with?"

"phase signature consistent with meta activity. obtaining visual." Within fractions of a fraction of a second, the necessary information appeared before Gabriel's eyes, just in time to watch the meta in question rip the entire front off of an armored truck and toss it into a nearby storefront. He sighed at that as he began moving toward the alert.

No points for subtlety. He checked the address in question- Eastern Avenue and 33rd. Not too far from where he currently was, though he could say that about a lot of places now.

"meta ability appears to be some form of shape-shifting. she appears to have shifted her physical state into some sort of metallic alloy. AEGIS functionality is not sophisticated enough to identify alloy in question from this range."

"So we need a close-range scan. Interesting. Has she caused any casualties?"

"none yet, but given the apparent proclivity for violence, i would suggest we not delay."

"Heh. Don't have to tell me twice. Have ARTEFACT-02 on standby, focus AEGIS sensors on the event area, and set them to record. Whatever goes wrong or right here, I want to know."

"acknowledged. do try not to have too much fun, gabriel- we'd like the block to stay standing, after all."

"Yeah, yeah. Just get everything in position," he said, finally arriving at the scene of the incident where his quarry was, thankfully, still gloating over her "kill." He smiled to himself, took a deep breath, and configured the Hex-Feathers to RAPID-FIRE Mode. He let loose a volley of low-power shots in front of the meta in question- none that would come close to hitting her, but enough to get her to hopefully back away from where they impacted. Which is where Gabriel himself then landed, arms folded in front of his chest.

Configure: Hex-Feather Modules- SNIPER. The Modules responded to his mental command, floating in tight formations over each shoulder, pointing straight at the meta. He glanced at her skin, intrigued. Run analysis on composition. He took a step forward as Daedalus went to work, appearing to size up the criminal in front of him.

"I... don't think this is yours, miss," he said, gesturing to the armored car (or what was left of it) next to him. "So here's the deal- no one's gotten hurt yet. We can both just walk away and call it a night. If not, though... well. There are six high-powered particle beams pointed at your chest for a reason."

The Hex-Feathers hummed ominously as they charged up, as though to punctuate his remark. He tilted his head.

"So. Are you going to leave peacefully? Or am I going to have to encourage you to do so?"
