Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

Angel - Warehouse

@Spiffy@Xandrya@Gardevoiran@solokolos@Old Amsterdam@Eklispe

No one was making a move after the warehouse seemed to have been taken from the local gang. Seeing that Farce put away her gun and made a sign to have the others stand down Angel smiled slightly. "Thank you." She glanced in the direction that had been indicated before the girl that had entered yelled out and the sound of a crash drew her attention back. Confused one moment and stunned the next she caught sight of Zach's body falling to the floor without his head. Pausing the woman had to weigh her options. Seems she'd misjudged the two, or one perhaps, that had burst through the wall. While she'd seen Farce shoot another person, decapitating someone with their powers was a magnitude higher on the shock factor. The thought sent a chill down her spine and she clenched her fists.

The man on the catwalk looked to be coming unhinged. The reaction wasn't something she could blame. However it looked like the situation was going to continue to escalate. Changing focus she turned toward the fleeing women. Crouching to one knee she drove the fingers of one hand into the the concrete floor for a handhold. Pushing off and pulling forward she accelerated toward them despite her increased weight. Once out in the open she launched herself into the air. With that momentum and rapid drop in density she soared overhead to tail them from a distance.

With any luck they wouldn't notice her in the air. People were notoriously bad at looking up unless they knew better. Heck she could fly and she probably didn't pay that much attention when she really thought about it. This also gave her the opportunity to watch the man that was charging after them. This definitely was not how Sarah wanted her day to go.

Shortly after Kaeci's demise a few of his belongings had been placed into storage, including a case that held what remained of his friend, Harriet. Presumably the efforts to bring her back after her death. The idea that it was possible had been entertained but once the mind behind the project was gone it got put to the wayside due to other priorities and lack of expertise. Over the last several months though the process that had been set in motion continued steadily unattended. For some time even if someone had opened the storage room the case was in they likely wouldn't have noticed anything was happening. Eventually though small vines and roots found their way out of the case, anchoring onto any surface that had a hold. As they grew the case itself buckled from the pressure and opened to reveal a leafy pod. No longer restricted the plant expanded throughout the small room with the pod suspended in the back.

As the pod grew it began to change and expand into a more humanoid shape. Cells having matured enough the rest developed quickly. The skeleton of sorts more rapidly was covered by softer tissue before another durable layer wound around that. The figure became decidedly more feminine and a human like face formed. One last layer of leaves covered her body and the process of growing stopped.

Harriet

@Crossfire

Despite it all the woman didn't move for several days and even when she woke there wasn't much strength in her. Groggily she opened her eyes and only saw the dimmest light creeping in from under the door of the storage room. Her movements were stiff and restrained. Struggling briefly she broke from the vines that had held and sustained her up to that point to fall to the floor. She tried to speak, to herself perhaps, but nothing came out. Her lungs were empty but she felt no need to breath. Still it was almost involuntarily as she took in a breath. She could hear and feel a creeking inside her as her chest expanded. Where the hell am I? she belatedly thought.

Set on her feet after a period of adjustment she took hold of the storage door and pulled it open. The flood of light blinded her and she stepped out into the hall by the Gym and Tech Lab. Bracing one hand against the wall Harriet studied the space briefly before her focus trained on her own limb. Frozen for a moment the fog that had clouded her mind was blown away by the realization of what she was seeing. "Oh sh..." Looking back into the storage she saw the plant life she'd been attached to. The exact circumstances of how she got here were uncertain but one thing was clear to her, she'd been exposed.

The question of where she was now had more urgency than before. The facility? No, it had been compromised. Quarantine had been enacted and breached. Likely the complex was now another crater on an asteroid. She'd managed to make it out on an escape pod but that was around when her memories stopped. Had she been captured, crashed landed, maybe picked up? None of those made much sense given where she'd just come from. Maybe she'd stowed away. There were too many unknown and very little to go on. She had to get out of here before... Her sudden move made her acutely aware of just how weak she was. Tripping over herself she tumbled and crashed next to the ladder to the Cargo Bay. She wanted to get back up but she didn't have it in her at the moment.

Question, how long has Kaeci been gone?

Escape From Eden (High Casual)

@DeadDrop Gemma could rain on Post's parade. Assuming he's doing anything obviously dangerous to bystanders if he goes by the studio.

Escape From Eden (High Casual)

@RumikoOhara I know. You went for more of an extreme scenario where there was a shorter span of time and imminent threat. I think you did very well.

And I'm not trying to make anyone feel bad about the direction they chose. Given that emotions are new to the androids I wouldn't be surprised if the initial reaction was going overboard. It is merely something to think about. If you're trying to have a violent character them go for it.

Escape From Eden (High Casual)

Perhaps, but if one of the rules mandates they must follow the law then they should have an understanding of the justice system. As an android they more than likely could overpower a human by simple pain.

Escape From Eden (High Casual)

Is Gemma the only one that hasn't hurt and/or murdered someone to gain her freedom? She's gonna have to reign you all in isn't she?

Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

Probably not opportune right now but she could come back. Likely from the husk that was her body.

Escape From Eden (High Casual)

Me thinks this chip needs reinforcement and such.

Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

Makes sense. But have you ever try killing a weed?
