Location:
Hidden Tomb on Easter Island
Adamas walked down the wooden stairs. Red
Hawk went next. They reached the stone floor. Adamas told them, “I can see that
the wall on the far side of the room was not attached to another room. I can’t
see much further than that to be able to tell if there was a room further down
or not without really concentrating.”
Red Hawk moved out of the line. He said “I
vibrated through the stone before. I will try it again.”
Red Hawk started to walk over to the far wall
but his heightened senses picked up something coming toward them and it was
moving fast. From the hole in the ceiling an armored man flew through it. He
landed on the ground with a loud thud.
“So this is where my wayward Android has
gone!”
“I am CyberDoom and I am your creator!”
“Freedom Eagle Duplicate, Initiate Memory
reinstall protocol Beta … Tango… Zeta … Maximum Overwrite”
{GM
Note: Red Hawk experienced the equivalent of a Mind Control attack.}
Red Hawk sensed his newly created Firewalls
holding back the attempt to rewrite his CPU. He fought off CyberDoom’s
commands.
{GM
Note: Did you forget that Red Hawk had the hunted weakness? I didn’t}
"CyberDoom?" Although needling to
conserve his energies for the battle ahead Chris readied himself to throw
dual-blast of vibrational energy at the mechanical maniac. Still no warning
from War Wagon or the Elementals from above tweaks the avian android's
curiosity. "I've taken steps to stop your ever using me for your purposes
again you monstrosity. Stand down or the Guardians will smash you into your
component parts and ship you to StarCorp in tiny little FedEx boxes."
While monologuing, Red Hawk will activate all his
enhanced senses and detect for anything out of the ordinary. His senses
reported nothing unusual.
CyberDoom fired twin energy blasts at Red Hawk.
Both of the energy blasts missed.
Across the Amulet CX said, "There are heiroglyphics all over these
walls. I'm recording them for later
review. Thunderhead, do you think you
can read them?"
CX had heard the Elementals speaking of
Thunderhead’s role as an archeologist. "Not wanting to make assumptions. I can figure them out with time, but you
might be a little quicker at it."
Via the telepathic amulet, Thunderhead
replied to CX, "Come quick! We need
you. Supay is here!"
Jack Frost did a double take. "That's not Supay," he said
via the amulet. "That's Pietor, the
craven sorcerer who summoned me back to the World of Men! Unless my eyes are betrayed by some
spell!"
"What?!" cried Thunderhead, staring
at Supay. Then the avatar of an Incan goddess concentrated. "I reject this reality," he said to
Supay with steely conviction. Thunderhead left the room entering the hallway
Over
the Amulet CX thought, 'Somebody watch my
back. I think these hieroglyphics have something to do with whatever you
guys are seeing. I'm trying to figure them out now. Orchid, are you
seeing the glyphs? They may be hieroglyphics but it’s just a code.
We can break it down and get to the bottom of this.'
"Reveal your true self, coward!"
Jack jeered at the image of 'Doctor Apocalypse.' Jack Frost left the room
following Thunderhead.
"Illusions . . . ? Hieroglyphs . . . ?" Still staring CyberDoom down the barrel of dual vibro-blast
unsure of the reality of the mechanical megalomaniac. Red Hawk tried to stay
focused on the mission at hand. "Forget
the glyphs. Find Jacco and the Gate. Everything else is a distraction to delay
us from the task we are here for." Chris analysed his sensor data and
mumbled something about ancient tombs and CyberDoom being a mummy. "This place is cursed. Just like in
that old movie I watched last week."
Red Hawk returned fire with his own set of
dual vibe blasts. The first blast hit but the second missed. CyberDoom withstood
the blast only taking a single step backwards.
Focusing his thoughts through the amulet,
Starbolt communicated. "Hawk, I am
protecting our six, and as CX is occupied with the Hyroglyphics, I won't be
going ahead until he is ready to go. C.X. I'll watch your back as long as
needed."
