SOLLUX: -As per usual lately, Sollux has been in Roxy's lab, working on decoding the encrypted file that Jade's weird human relative gave them. Unlike usual, however, he feels as if he's really getting somewhere with it tonight -- to the point that he's nearly got it cracked. Text flies across his screen, errors popping up occasionally (this guy's work was a pain in the ass), but...- SOLLUX: -He's muttering to himself occasionally, mostly curses, but probably more out of excitement than anything.- ROXY: *Having someone in her lab without her was kinda weird so Roxy just... stuck around sometimes. Looking over his shoulder and offering him unwarrented advice between fiddling with her own work. Finally! She'd gotten the next to last peice she needed for the new defensive system and she was feeling much too happy to loom over Sollux's shoulder with beaker raming and eat with stirrers like they were chopsticks only to jut them at the screen and critize every few minutes* ROXY: *There is some cranking however, she's cranking that thang with a floor panel bust WIDE open, bus it* how goes sir coatrack? *a little checky check* SOLLUX: -crank dat soulja rox- SOLLUX: -he responds in a little hum at first, clearly focusing- almo2t got iit. SOLLUX: old dude'2 piiece of 2hiit fal2e path2 can't keep me out forever. ROXY: lol that sounds about right the dudes spossedly p good ROXY: like i dunno genius mayb ROXY: he might be testin u ROXY: or trollin u ROXY: or both *crank crank* SOLLUX: yeah, well. you can't out troll a fuckiing troll. ROXY: woof sollux captor for the superior troll ROXY: hes goin for the throat SOLLUX: -according to the way he's hammering that keyboard right now, it sure sounds like it. and then in the next moment- biingo. SOLLUX: -Suddenly, the folder opens up, and Sollux opens up the first file inside.- SOLLUX: -It's clearly branded with TUMUT information, but then it evolves quickly into... something else. The title "Golden Prong" is certainly a lot more present here than it should be, and scrolling down further, there's detailed information on every person on board the Umbral Ultimatum. Sollux takes a minute to skim over the more important details.- SOLLUX: http://taskforcetumut.tumblr.com/private/120232353366/tumblr_np54skUMs81te0qp3 ROXY: *oh fuckin neato, she's getting up and wiping her hands on her overalls before going to loom over his shoulder* SOLLUX: holy 2hiit, rx. SOLLUX: thii2 look2 liike a fuckiing hiit lii2t. ROXY: ..... *she's reading it all* and a grocery list... SOLLUX: -he sits back a little, running a hand through his hair- je2u2 human chrii2t. SOLLUX: -reads his own bit, not really surprised- SOLLUX: what the hell ii2 thii2 about cherub2? ROXY: *Look at all her loved once they plan on eliminating....* some shit dude idk ROXY: i didnt know mucha jack about calli or fuckin ROXY: figures! ROXY: *What the hell were they even going to do in the belly on an organization that wanted to see them killed or captured? fuck it up hopefully* SOLLUX: -and then Sollux pauses as the ship rattles- ROXY: ... *clenches jaw and bites lip* (shit) ROXY: well ROXY: WELL ROXY: *listens to the announcement* ROXY: shhhiiiiitttt *looks back at her work and... she didn't have all the parts but some quick number running and she didn't have the piece to her main offensive system. she's going to hustle back on over and start working on things like mad because defense was all they really had right now* SOLLUX: god damn iit. SOLLUX: ii need two get thii2 on a non-fuckery piiece of equiipment. SOLLUX: -pulls another USB out of his sylladex and sticks it in the computer to move the file folder over- ROXY: *not so much cranking anymore as she was starting to snap and clip together rather large, thick wires* ROXY: while u do that *grunts and twists two together* tell tuna to like ROXY: hang on to his bippy ROXY: cause were not so much... battle ready rn SOLLUX: -moves the file over pretty quick, pulling the USB out and getting it back in his sylladex- what are you up two? ROXY: *kicks panel closed and smacks down into a chair, the weapons system does come online upstairs in the bridge* ROXY: *her BFG, whirring to life and moving to aim ahead of them while she tacked away, a little too focused to completely answer and out of her lab drawers its ahabs crosshairs looking rather rigged up with wires coming out of it and several other parts hooked into it* just fuckin tell tuna the thing ROXY: PLEASE SOLLUX: alriight, alriight. ROXY: *dont stress her out plz, shes starting up a program and her gun does some clicking, whirring, and powering up though its stil aimed in front of them* SOLLUX: -sends Tuna a message to hold on to his ass because Roxy is bringing out the BFG- ROXY: *It's a large charge and then it fires.... seemingly nothing but the stars in front of them disappears and its just a black empty hole in the sky* SOLLUX: -scratch that he's sending it to Aranea to relay to him- ROXY: *Its gonna be a BUMPY ride with a lot of general vertigo, it'd probably shake the ship and there's all kinds of red mad looking lightening cracking all along the edges* SOLLUX: holy 2hiit. ROXY: *she's massively monitering the energy from the crosshairs to the machine she's made for it, hope you fuckers are ready to warp... she's not* ROXY: *Sudden movement indeed. She's got he calculations. What's one part? and then flips a switch to exert the rest of that energy (or try to) into the device which would send the ship into a crazy kind of WARP speed right into the lightening laced vortex that would close and swallow around them. The ship was stuck on this straight forward shot that cut them through trillions and trillions of miles of space in 3.5* </c SOLLUX: mother fu-- -Sollux is bracing himself with psionics, and making sure nothing else is falling over in here for that matter- ROXY: *There's enough electricity in the air Sollux* sh...shit shitshit shit no no *as in too much electricity, too much energy and the wormhole-esqe tunnel they're making just keeps on going. Ahab's blue energy turned read, angry and cracked violently throughout the lab. laced with black from the properties of Roxy's portal tech* ROXY: *she's kind of trying to hang onto the desk and flinch away from it while trying to stop it. Get it to stop the thing it was doing, haha they're safe good job!!! stop please!* SOLLUX: fffuck-- rx--!! SOLLUX: -he feels helpless as her tech starts going haywire, uncertain how to make it stop and he's moving closer to try to get her away from it if he can- ROXY: *a particularly violent stream of channeled void cracks hard through the air, scorching and just about disappearifiying everything it touches, while she smacks her keys on the keyboard not wanting to touch the rifle or cube at all the large one branches off into smaller fragments and shoots right through her lower abdomen and another makes a beeline for the psions pretty face* SOLLUX: -he has no time to react to Roxy's injury, to save her -- it cracks like a whip and then he's going flying to the floor, almost immediately unconscious with splatters of yellow from his eyes.- ROXY: *TKO x2 and the machine eventually burns out and goes off on its own after a few more angry crackls and snaps* ROXY: *which means they'd end up on the other end, not trapped inside*
