Cobalt [GT10] @timecapsule-girl - Tumblr Blog

uh... alrighty then... thank you Abigail

(i'm gonna pretend i didn't hear that ^^"")

[muffled] see, sis i knew cupcakes were a good idea

[The Derelict would move to dock against the ship attaching to The_Nebula_Prowler]

[soon there after the unit would step out of the airlock and peek into the,,,mostly empty ship]

uhh. hello? i've got the cupcakes

somepuppygrrl

{In a simple, baggy pajama top does Abby greet the machine. She's... looking a bit lazier than usual. The bags under her eyes have grown, and she isn't as thin as she is in the pictures or data logs.}

You... you uh, do? Welcome to my awesome ship. It's got everything. Everything I could need.

{In one hand is she holding some sort of carved wooden doll, it seems to represent herself in some way.}

Welcome... aboard? I guess? Where are the cupcakes?

um... hi, is,,,Lars still here? i need to talk to him.

and uh.. you're not looking so great, friend, need me to uh. get you anything? ^^""

{it would hand her a small tray of chocolate cupcakes in different colors, 25 in total}

oh cute you have a dolly too! whats her name?

somepuppygrrl

Uh... her name is Dogdoll. After the person who carved her for me.

No... I don't think Lars is here.

{Abby snatches one of the more purple looking cupcakes, and she begins idly scarfing it down while she speaks}

He chew left me chew munch in charge of the ship while nom he was gone. I'm a way better captain, so... why not just tell me instead?

[ooc: this happens before cobalt's decay]

awhh that's a cute name, my doll back home is just called,,,dolly. huh

wh- wait- really? i,, uhh. well i sorta wanted to apologize to him since i might've impersonated him to get onto like, an old accord gambling freighter ship ^^""

which.... might've charged him like, a fuck ton of accord credits, lucky those don't really hold value anymore though right?

what is there to do on your awesome ship ^^"

she'll live right? we got there in time,, right?

...she'll make it,,right?

ooc: but hey atleast dolly and cobalt has matching work overalls..

she cried and cried, knowing this new found happiness had a time limit.

cc: @sappy-red-algae cc: @asteraceaeactivity

Indeed she will. Stasis is on, meaning that the only thing we have to do is get to the vet

#wanted to put more into the bgs but ehgh i got sick bleh #<- (OOC: the Backgrounds are lovely #<- this dorkweed ain't half bad -w-

ooc: can't wait to play what'll happen after! gosh girly just finally get happyyy rahh ;w;

{Your radar pings. A small fighter jumps into view, dangerously close. It hails you over comms. The voice sounds.. stiff, but vaguely familiar.}

Terran vessel. This is the TCN fighter “Tohru”. My callsign is Aphid. You will be boarded and taken for medical attention. Do not resist. Terra Invicta.

{It draws nearer, moving into position to dock.}

{as The Derelict comes into view, the ginormous gun op top starts rotate directly towards your fighter stopping with a big clunk. it starts charging before fizzling out}

[the derelicts lights cut off and is soon after is replaced with new red warning ones.]

[someone speaks back. with a sharky, pained voice.]

t-t-this is Cobalt of the NorthStar battalion. that little peashooter won't be able to tug the derelict, ,, aphid. get on board now. a-aand --help me with repairs..

we.. we ju-just, need long enough till stylone gets here. s-s-orry about the things i said about you.

[the derelict sends location cords for it's side airlocks/attachment points]

Shortly after Aphid pops into view, the Arclight Phoenix does so as well. It is a much larger ship than The Derelict. Shaped like a giant bird, with what look like prismatic bolts of lightning arcing across its wings.

Hello there!

oh,, uh,, ,hello? ,,, thats.. a big ship, uh,, um sorry i have to get back to work,.

Don't worry, we'll set up our own way onto your ship.

The Arclight flies such that it is close enough for one of our bodies to quite literally jump on over with materials (and a few devices), then find our way onto your ship.

See, it wasn't that hard. -(orange, green, magenta)

We most likely head to the whisper room and start scanning things.

[shortly after, an affini mobile hab unit jumped in, even closer, But somehow less dangerous. In mere Seconds, it Docks onto the derelict out comes a humanoid figure made of vines wearing a wilted cloak.]

Don't worry sweetie, all of us are here to help!

Hello @adriftfighterpilot ! And hello, system Creatures of clay!

Hostile being, do not engage. This is a humanitarian mission. If you attempt to intervene I will be forced to attack.

@creature-of-clay Ident. What is your affiliation.

@timecapsule-girl Comrade. I have docked. I am boarding. I will get you to the medics. Terra Invicta.

{I emerge as well, eyes sharp, but somehow distant.}

Our affiliation is with ourself, we are here with the same goal as you: rescuing an ally in distress. -(green, orange, magenta)

She's not in a good headspace as of now. Could you come over with me so we can safely prepare Cobalt for stasis?

s-.-st NO, no what, no!! I'm not going asleep again i only just woke up again,,, please. I i can't go back,,,, s-s-s-s-s-ST-Stop...

{the lights in the derelict would flicker}

[the laser outside would try to eliminate the threat cobalt was seeing, but instead it shot an asteroid instead cutting it in half cleanly.]

{she'd take a few steps back, holding her arm cannon ready... she looks,, dazed.}

[Stylone would look with an empathetic expression]

Dearie... It's scary yes? I'm so sorry. But it's the safest way to get to the vet. In Fact, I promise that the first thing you'll See is your warden, alright? Pinky promise

Haha FUNNY, i distinctly remember astrid telling me that you Things. manipulate your way into getting what you want. i Refuse to be turned into some pathetic pet.

and frankly that's all i NEED to remember,, all i remember.. about you Fucks. its uh... fuck ow ,, , {it would hold its head,, "breathing heavily,, under strain,, panicked breathing, turning to hyperventilation."}

I ,,, f-fuck, i ,,,, ,,,*sob* miss, cece ,, I ,ii ,i uhh,, ,fuck fuck,,its,,,,,

[the derelict would open up a panel, behind it was a funnel, and above it was the text, chemical intake.]

,,,sis, you backstabing.... he,h,, i,i,i ugh,,i feel s-s-sick,, miss,, ,,,,,pl..plealse just make it end,, ,,,i i c-c-c-c-can't anymore.,.

[....17 minutes. left.]

Wait wait wait, query real quick @sappy-red-algae why not just have had the Zealand jump in? -(orange, magenta, green)

It's too slow. She'd die before they reach Here. Putting Cobalt in stasis is the only way to prolong her life until they reach us

[Stylone hands over some infographics to the bodies being piloted by Orange, magenta and Green]

(OOC: I'm asuming you were particularly close to Cobalt, maybe even within Terran space, and that the zealand is currently within the oposite corner of the Galaxy for this to Work)

(ooc: singular body in this scene at this time, just modulating the colors depending on who's talking of those present in the body. As for relative presence, we specified that the Arclight Phoenix (our ship) was aboard the Zealand here and additionally we're fairly sure that Aphid was on the Zealand (correct us if we're wrong on that though) so she couldn't be here if it's on the other side of the galaxy. Furthermore, we were generally under the impression that the Zealand primary operated relatively near Earth (not, like, within the Sol system, but not too far either))

(ooc: she only just undocked from the nebula prowler so she'd be very well within range of rescue <3)

[Stylone would gently scoop the humanoid Robot up, holding her tight, but still with enough give for her to scramble away should she choose to]

Shhh... You'll see miss Cece soon... Promise. I'll hold you until then okay? You're not alone. And you're not going to die just Yet.

[Stylone would use its other vines to open the stasis Box and stretch it, extending it into some Sort of wall of vines that starts covering the whisper room. In about 36 Seconds, whisper room is a stasis Box aswell. Newly grown medical equipment hovers over the jars as Stylone gets the aparatus' ready, as Cobalt's biologic components had to be safely prepared for stasis]

#hdg rp #ooc: the two sisters of war #ooc: an old machine finally falls silent.

{it would struggle against the vines,, but give in,,, it remembers this, feeling. i think.}

,,,,do you think she'll be mad, *sob* i was bad. please don't let her hurt me, i i,i i can't go back,, *sob*

[she's mixing up old memories..]

thanks for being here,, ,, e-e-everyone,, i--. ii was t-thinking i'd d-die alone like last time. hehe,,,,

{it would settle down in the vines,, just, watching the process silently.}

{it would power off nearly instantly as the room was wrapped in stasis.. its lights dimming to cyan.....}

[in its last moments the derelict docks against stylone's shuttle.]

{all the lights would turn off.}

uhhh.. they're friends. i think so just come with me {it grabs her hand.}

Negative. The mission is not complete. I will assist you if you need it, however.

{I take your hand and let you lead me.}

Override command "broken veil" command issued from CENTCOM

You’re gonna have to do a little better than that, weed. A rock would know you ain’t centcom.

{There’s a strange fiery tone that isn’t normally present in combat assist mode in my voice.}

Humanitarian mission. Stay the fuck out of my way, and I’ll return the favor.

I'm also in a humanitarian mission. See those brain jars? Those are Cobalt's CPU. They're degrading rapidly. Some have been destroyed too. Cobalt needs immediate medical care that is beyond your capabilities

Sure, whatever, that’s true, but it ain’t beyond the doc’s-

{I pause. I suddenly look confused.}

….doc..? What am I talking about.

{I shake my head, returning to my flat tone.}

I will not stand in your way if you can help my comrade. But I will not stop attempting to help cobalt as well.

{I get to work fixing whatever small things I can, silently.}

The Arclight flies such that it is close enough for one of our bodies to quite literally jump on over with materials (and a few devices), then find our way onto your ship.

See, it wasn't that hard. -(orange, green, magenta)

We most likely head to the whisper room and start scanning things.

[shortly after, an affini mobile hab unit jumped in, even closer, But somehow less dangerous. In mere Seconds, it Docks onto the derelict out comes a humanoid figure made of vines wearing a wilted cloak.]

Don't worry sweetie, all of us are here to help!

Hello @adriftfighterpilot ! And hello, system Creatures of clay!

#hdg rp #stylone getting is carrying a stasis Box #ooc: <- cobalt doesn't know what that is. also if its in the derelict then it won't be big enough to fit the room in it

(oh yeah, just welcome yourself i guess t_t)

-oh t-thnak stars,, that-... whats that...? um... it's okay, we don't have the time to talk.

{it does a really weak smile. then hugs aphid before grabbing her hand and leading them all towards the room.}

[it was the only room with lights left. red.. inside were 15 vats, with modified brains inside... it looked like early OCNI like technology but..worse. metal chips and metal parts were shoved into the brains half haphazardly.]

[the vats weren't in good states either. at the bottom of the vats were,,,blender blades. and some of the 15 vats 4 were entirely red... entirely gone. others had chunks missing, and wires haphazardly placed into them]

[inside the vats the brains were floating in yellowish brine, close to the color of the brains themselves now,, grayed with age, there were metal debris broken off the chips,, and other brain chunks floating around due to the bubbles giving the brain raid matrix air]

[ . . . ]

[while in the room it felt like there was whispering inside your head.]

....it's.. not,,- hehe... ,,i-i-i,,, ..... 20 minutes left now.. {it'd start crying,,}

w-w-we're split across the cc-hips.. and whatever usable parts of the brains. that are left...... *sob*

,,,,i guess we could uh.. check if the ph is right?,,,, maybe a little late now,. i don't know..

{Your radar pings. A small fighter jumps into view, dangerously close. It hails you over comms. The voice sounds.. stiff, but vaguely familiar.}

Terran vessel. This is the TCN fighter “Tohru”. My callsign is Aphid. You will be boarded and taken for medical attention. Do not resist. Terra Invicta.

{It draws nearer, moving into position to dock.}

{as The Derelict comes into view, the ginormous gun op top starts rotate directly towards your fighter stopping with a big clunk. it starts charging before fizzling out}

[the derelicts lights cut off and is soon after is replaced with new red warning ones.]

[someone speaks back. with a sharky, pained voice.]

t-t-this is Cobalt of the NorthStar battalion. that little peashooter won't be able to tug the derelict, ,, aphid. get on board now. a-aand --help me with repairs..

we.. we ju-just, need long enough till stylone gets here. s-s-orry about the things i said about you.

[the derelict sends location cords for it's side airlocks/attachment points]

Shortly after Aphid pops into view, the Arclight Phoenix does so as well. It is a much larger ship than The Derelict. Shaped like a giant bird, with what look like prismatic bolts of lightning arcing across its wings.

Hello there!

#ooc: aaaa i don't know how to work this in #ooc damn you derelict for only have two small airlocks rahh

oh,, uh,, ,hello? ,,, thats.. a big ship, uh,, um sorry i have to get back to work,. come aboard.

Hey Cobalt, this is Sam. Uh… the affini found me… so… I wanted to ask if there was a way we could talk more in person or on the overnet? Just to chat because you’re nice and you helped me.

oh.... i'm really sorry to hear that i hope you're okay.. we can talk over the overnet, but i've not got the most time left. before i arrive at the_nebula_prowler then i have to focus on fixing things..

would've loved seeing you in person though! i'm just a little preoccupied atm ^^"""

whatcha wanna talk about?

WAIT YOURE DYING???

UHH, i'm not? ^^#

trust.

I- ok… sorry I jump to conclusions a lot.

You better not…

Anyways uh… advice? On wardships? What do I do?

(it's not like i've got a choice t_t)

mhm, on wardships... i think you should just try to settle in and be loved by them,,,, the affini i was under the care of was nothing but kind to me

i'm glad humanity is in good hands.

That doesnt make sense though. If you’ve been treated good then why are you leaving? And I know for a fact most affini are not like that anyway so…

i,,i,i-i---,,, i can't i can't let her see me -i can't bother her with,, my,, problems i i supposed to fix things myself. it's just- i can't... i don't want to hurt anyone anymore..

i,,, i think most affini's will be kind if you're kind back,,, but yeah,, i don't think most are like this... maybe she was only this way towards me cuz she didn't know i could be drugged...

i don't mind saying that out-loud anymore..its..not gonna matter anyway. .. s-s-orry..

…cobalt why’re you talking like that?

Uhh,,,, s-s-sorry,, minor,,h-hardware hiccup i'm back...

um.. uh........ any other questions? ^ ^"

Yea actually, why are you lying to me?

I may not be that smart but I know when I’m being lied to. What’s going on? Please tell me. You’re my friend… or at least I consider you one

,,,,,i'm really.. sorry,,

it's uh. this,,, i think i remember,, it. uhh... fuck it's um.. cerebral collapse.. i think... its uh.. its where uh,, extended use leads to,, brain death..

it it,, it was revolutionar,y, thte, a-acord couldn't mess with us! hehe,,,, using brains as p-processors-,,,,,,,,,,,,,

-it uh..

… how long do you have?

..-Oh! d-don't worry. sweetheart it'll all be okay.... ^^

promise. we'll eat that crumble together aphi-sam

Dolly is on her way, Cobalt... I knew I was right to worry about you, dear. it wilts my core to know that I was correct and you were afraid to tell me.

Let's go home. I promise to leave your friends alone, as it seems they're already under The Compact's gaze. 🌼

,,,,,you're too kind to me miss. but it's already too late. it was too late when i woke up 2 weeks.. and its too late now.

please s-stay back.. i ii,i d-don't want you to see me like this, you've had your fun already. played with me, snuggled and what not...

we all have our time, and i've been past due for 60 years... so just... let me go. i have to regroup with my battalion.

i'm glad i got to spend my time with you.

You will be rescued, hold tight

b,, but... understood.. i'll uhh,, fuck i um... hehehe,, ^^""

nno,-nno theres ,,reallt no need for you to burden y-your self wit-,, miss cece is al,ready on the way so it's okay.

Don't worry your pretty servos petal! Mx. Stylone has must faster shuttles and ability to rescue you! I will be ready and waiting to recieve you on The Eclipse or if Stylone gives me an alternative location. 🌼

We can fix the issues you're having, petal. Entirely. You will never have to worry about it ever again. The Compact will take care of you, no strings attached. 🌼

> Indeed! I'm preparing the stasis Box aswell until we get to the vet. After that she'll be safe and sound in your vines!

Some degree of stabilization will need to be done before you get here with that, based on the timeline.

-Fallen from Light

i'll,, see what i can do on my end.. i'.- i won't go out without a fight.
