Whoa, hey wait. since the SMG's are integrated would they have their own feeding system, instead of a regular magazine? I feel like they would.

Yes, magazines would be rather impractical on a machine such as LEO. We'll say you have a 400 round munition storage, no reloading needed.

Also I think I remember reading somewhere a question about the lights going out, not sure if my mind's making it up because considering the time it is that's highly possible, anywho the lights are indeed out but there are the emergency lights on, and the generator itself illuminates a greenish tint, which honestly is a little detail I completely rolled over and I'm sorry about that. The generator is not radiating any green pollution (at least in the room : P ) but it was put into the walls of the generator itself basically as a built in emergency light. Basically, energy saver for when emergency lights are needed since it lights up the room in a dull greenish tint, thus it's not taking any precious energy. Why isn't the whole lab decked out in this? Cost. Secret laboratory are hard enough to fund as it is! You can think of the generator as a giant night light, or glow stick.

Another tiny detail I'd like to address is how the little spider found Rivet is that time frame wise she exits the tunnels just about a minute before the little spider is scared into them. The spider traveled down the same, about fifteen minutes, crawl and heard the sound of running water and followed it. Rivet and the spider also have the advantage of fear that aided them in crawling quickly, so Jaymes, Becker, and John are going to move a bit slower not to mention they have to deal with each other.

Remember the design of the lab, hexagon shape, Rivet is past the elevator entrance, and about eighteen meters away from the entrance to the security center. It's amazing how much distance you can cover when you're scared ain't it? Walking would probably take just a little over thirty minutes to get to where Rivet is now, the tunnel itself was rather straight forward with a only a few intersections.

As for the traq to the eye of the komodo dragon, I'll let the traq go because you are a hired gun to be security for basically a mutant zoo and even if your (and he didn't) know what he was protecting, they legally would have to say 'may have to work with animals' so anyone taking that kind of job would come prepared. As for hitting the eye don't change it but you didn't hit the eye. You shot at what was the eye a second before the turn of the komodo dragon's head made it land inside it's mouth actually, it was just impaling a security officer a second ago. I'll post on this and Rivet's encounter a.s.a.p. just figured I'd cover as many bases as possible before going to bed.

Also Dingo Rivet is looking at security officers with red bandana's on their arms. Why the red bandana's? Because the bad guys in this story aren't that clever and neither am I. : P

Bozo, didn't address you remark earlier, sorry about that, but thank you for the heads up on your departure. You can do whatever you want, even shout at the dragon and see if you can scare it : P When you get back just read up on what you've missed and continue on.

Also congratulations on becoming a spearhead Ronin! :D Indeed much has happened, just read up on what you've missed and keep on moving! Down a tunnel to be exact.

Personally I'm pleased that the roleplay is moving along nicely, though even I can be hard pressed to keep up pace -dramatically points an accusing finger at a symbolic 'school' sign- but I do need to school, even if it's only for design classes. My parents want me to do culinary art and even try pursing a music degree. Thank goodness I'm going to a cheap yet actually decent community college.

Sorry, I meant 'I was gone for three days', instead of 'I will be gone for three days'. It was poorly written, I see how it was confusing.
What I meant is that in only a few days, you people managed to turn the situation in such a mess. And now I had to find a way to make even more of a mess. It's so much fun, after all!
Charging alone the giant komodo dragon should do the trick...

Dave's grenade either exploded unnoticed or has one hell of a long fuse. :D

Well, one of us could always mention the boom and how it affects the lizard. Though I think Shawn would be better suited to that task.

So, Dave fired at the moving dragon, I'll assume only two thirds of the bullets he fired actually hit and out of them, only half hit the mouth. Which would be 101.5 + 106 = 75 damage, plus the frag grenade, which is 0.5 damage per shrapnel, of thirty shrapnels. If one third of them hit the dragon, that'd be another 15 damage. So I think Dave did around 90.

Even if it's actually less, I'm pretty sure the dragon is dead.

Plus the damage the security force are doing, I'm almost positive that thing is dead. and only one casualty? dang, strength in numbers i guess. we tore that thing into shreds a lot faster than i had imagined.

Yes it was quite the overkill lol. But that's all good, I got to play around with what happened. Also set up Rivet's encounter more. Didn't make a 'Sebastien' post because I'm on a school computer and had to be quick. So that being said point out anything that isn't clear or you want more explaining on.

The senors that allowed for detection of the dragons as well as the spiders, the generator's shut down short circuited the senors letting the dragon slip in unnoticed and then the fire grenade boiled it up, as well as your eye senor. The detection senor though was the big one hit, LEO's vision though consists of duller tints of everything around him. He can now only detect specimen signatures (including the spiders so even if it was working at full capacity when the dragon entered it would've have done much) that are 20 meters in front of him, or 5-11 meters behind him.

Also to specify just exactly what happened with Rivet, the guy tried to shoulder toss her over him but in mid toss got imbalanced from the shock of Rivet's (most likely) natural tightened grip and fell to the floor face first, leaving Rivet on-top of his body.

Poor bastard died in irony. Still gave me quite a laugh when he died trying to judo her. In other news, how long till we see Mason? because I have a "Plan" for Becker that needs him in it.

Was that really Brute? or just one of the Komodo dragons roaming around?

Irony is delicious, and by that I mean I like irony : P

That does seem to happen a lot. And well, it got him killed, least Rivet didn't have to do it. Woe to the two guards who are still alive.

Nope, Brute had the eye scar. Just one of the random Komodos. Now there are 9 left, including Brute.

I thought it was time to make an exit from those vents. If you think my post is unrealistic, please say so and I'll edit something new.

I think that's perfectly acceptable, if a bit quick through the vents. that short conversation took half an hour...? I'unno not a big deal.

But just make sure you don't play it off as being in the same hallway Rivet was in just before she kicked the door down. it'll make it more interesting as well as maybe not piss of Dingo (sorry Dingo). she did say she wanted some lone-survival. make it a good distance away, like a couple hallway's or rooms. nothing too immediately close. like if a gunshot went off just now you wouldn't get there until it was resolved or mostly resolved.

Shawn. Earlier in the story you had the squad stick together because of the Komodo dragon Brute. Now with Raphael revealing that there more of these lizards, are you sure you want to split the squad?

@Littlejediowen. What on earth is your character doing with Jaymes, Becker and Williams? I thought your character is in the generator room with the others. Since when did you come with the three of us to search for Rivet?

@littlejediowen. i agree with antonio, 1. Team leader just gave the order to split up after the dragon was killed. we moved out around a few moments before dragon was killed so you would most sensibly go to a different group. 2. How do you even know where we are? 3. Why us in the first place? 4. How did you make it with us at nigh-Rivet speed?

Edit(More of additional stuff to say to avoid double post): Following up on my question yesterday, Capt. Shawn, we far or short away from finding Mason And other scientists?(Was hoping before finding Rivet) I'm excited to see the group's reaction to a cocky sociopathic Mad Scientist, that may or may NOT be associated with the instigators of this incident

Quite honestly, I'd like to meet him, too, and yes, very much surprised at how he managed to go at warp-speed through a cramped ventilation shaft that really should have given US trouble to the other John from. Likewise, don't understand why Dager felt the need to come along, or even how he got the sonar capability to track us down. This is, I'm assuming, a complex ventilation shaft. Also, I think Antonio realizes that this isn't the same hallway as the Mechanic, since...Well...You know...She started off in a closet, and THAT'S where the ventilation shaft exited. It was probably some robot-mutant-dog. Or shark.

Well, the ventilation shaft shaft Rivet exited doesn't nessecarily have to exit in a closet. Rivet could have come out somewhere else and found the closet. But if you want me to edit my post, I can do that.

@Littlejediowen. Please edit your post and add more details. Why did you decide to come us. How did you find us. How did you catch up so fast. Things like that.
