shieldacademyauThose that sleep will awaken to a pitch black room with nothing but the faint red glow of the emergency lighting. This glow seemed to frame the ceiling of the room and gradually pulsate between a dimmer glow to a glow almost bright enough to read by then back down again. Every electronic device in the entire academy, dorms, and general building on the SHIELD grounds would display a black DOS-like screen with bright crimson lettering that read a simple, cryptic message.
Activating the new message brings up another black screen with a mostly legible message to the students of SHIELD Academy. This ominous message doesn't seem to be salvageable by even the most brilliant of computer programmers. The file is just corrupt and there is nothing that can be done for it. It's a wonder the thing opened at all, to be honest.
Those that didn't sleep would have found the lights had suddenly gone off around 0400. Shortly following the assumed harmless power outage, the usually white glowing strips lining the edges of every room would have faded to a red that indicated a warning. The red lettering on the screens would have followed after that and finally, a good ten minutes into the disquieting silence, the blue message alert appeared. They would have found their doors locked, and the windows all barred by solid adamantium panels.
There is no riddle to be had here, no teacher seems to be present to consult. The students were alone, required to rely on eachother, their own cunning, and their unique abilities.
For those poor souls trapped in the Hazard Room, well... just don't make any sudden movements. The training protocols seem to still be active. Fortunately, they are set on moderate difficulty. You had been looking to hone your skills and blow off a little steam. Well, you just got your wish.
Mod Notes: Treat this post like a mingle-log. OOC plotting can be found here.
Targets and Weaponry: SHIELD bots come in a variety of sizes from no more than a foot in height to nearly four feet and come armed with a plethora of weapons designed to subdue and capture. Weapons designed specifically to counter the abilities of those that live here, just in case they lose control.
Small built-in turrets keep hidden behind sleek panels in the ceilings of most hallways and in the ground outside. These turrets fire wide range of power nullifying munitions as well as good old fashioned taze rounds.
Targeting sensors on all the machines and turrets use facial recognition to identify each student. Their powers and weaknesses are recorded in the main SHIELD database, which it refers to and decides the best course of action.

If you don't mind
Date: 2014-08-22 05:18 pm (UTC)The brown-eyed boy broke off at a run towards the sound of the shots fired and made it in time to see the poor girl under assault. His glowing golden eyes locked onto the turret and charged for it while it was aimed elsewhere. Fortunately, his enhanced speed gave him time to slash the device off its tripod-like stand. He'd heard it shifting and grinding just before hand as it started to load the electrical rounds. Fortunately he'd taken it out before hand.
Scott trotted back to the girl, his half-wolf transformation pulled back to leave him with just the glowing golden eyes to better cut through the darkness.
"Hey, are you okay? Uh... I won't hurt you."
Totally fine!
Date: 2014-08-22 05:44 pm (UTC)Maya listened to Scott's heart to try to get herself centered, to keep herself here and not spread so thin she can't be of any use. Security was activating all over, the awake students were in trouble... but anyone in their dorms should be safe... locked in, but safe.
"Didn't think you would, although today is seeming like one of those days." She looped the bow over her arm next to the quiver of arrows she'd been practicing with. Maya was talking even though her mouth wasn't moving, "The entire campus is on high alert, I heard the security barriers drop on the windows, I can't hear main power, and there are security drones activating throughout campus. I'm Maya, sound manipulator."

"All the front doors and exits are locked too, I noticed. Wow that's awesome, though. The sound thing, I mean. Not the SHIELD-ocalypse. Man, and I thought my hearing was good. That's crazy sharp hearing if you could hear stuff inside, too." He half smiled, because this was not the time to be geeking out over her powers. "I'm Scott. I'm... a werewolf." He still wasn't used to admitting that to people.

Date: 2014-08-22 08:09 pm (UTC)She was still looking like something was wrong, probably why she was creating sounds to talk with instead of speaking properly. "I can't turn it off. It's a lot to take in, hearing everything. ...and we're about to have two more drones activate."

Date: 2014-08-23 02:31 pm (UTC)"Yeah, I heard that." He just nodded at the new information. It wasn't really much that he could help with right now. Whatever was sending out the jamming signal would probably be a little harder to get at than the drones. "Think you can find it?" Because if she could find it, maybe he could break it.
But her next words caught his attention and put him on alert. "Point me in their direction." His eyes took on that golden glow again as he tapped into his werewolf sight, cutting through the darkness with ease. "Or would we be better off running?"

Date: 2014-08-23 03:10 pm (UTC)"There's a lot going on here, it's hard to figure out what's connected to which problem." Maya shut her eyes to try and put a bit more focus on the various sounds the school was making. Main power was out, but on the back-ups there seemed to be a half dozen various devices making networks of projectors buzz while various fields were online. "Too far, I need to get closer to the school."
Maya put her mind on the two drones, they were activating but not yet targeted. So if there were any time to run, it'd be now, "We run. I don't think we can really waste time out here fighting them off. And I'm in no shape to fight."
Maya's powers pretty much had her as a good tool in a fight, but a terrible fighter. She was too stretched out with everything going on. She could hear various things going on around campus and they were taxing her. She was glad she wasn't in the Hazard Room, that would be a problem right now.
