Iska rolled her eyes "Ancient clans being cryptic, not surprising." she sighed. "So, to open shield we need to be proven worthy?". Iska looked over at andro with a raised eyebrow "How?"
"Varn, you think it is being nice to the poor?" Jeb asked. "Or do you think it's something more obscure"
"Don't look at me. I kill people for money. " Varn shrugged. "And I doubt it that easy, Jeb."
"I guess we'll go the more obscure route, at least that's what I would think" Jeb noted.
"It's touch sensitive? I don't usually believe in mumbo jumbo but considering this-" He pointed towards the sphere "-I'm willing to make an exception, maybe if someone puts their hand at the top of the strut it'll open the sphere?"
"So who wants to put their hand on this thing? I will if I have to."
Viper land the Talon with relative ease after getting used to its hard dive systems and heavy wight. The Talon's landing gear hit soft ground, nearly sinking into mud and murky water of the swamp.
Viper engaged the Talon's underbosters on to such a temperature that turned the mud and water into glass, letting the talon not sink into the shallow grave that this swamp is.
Viper took a few moments within the close cockpit of the talon, adjusting the various systems of the Talon. Making everything was in order before opening up cockpit and disconnecting from control tethers.
The exo suit spark to life as Viper's implant took control of it, taking a few moments to fully activate. Viper jump out of cockpit of talon, only to fall into mud as Exo- suit's legs sink into ground. Leavin Viper to slowly march though the tick mud step by step.
The hard gravity made it that much harder for Viper, even with the Exo-suit. The fog wasn't too much of an issue as visor highlighted the way up the ruins where the rest of the squadmates were ganthering.
Sir, sorry for my delay. Viper said to Jeremy as Viper was walking up behind the team.
"It's alright Viper." Jeremy said as he observed the message.
"I vote for Jeremy to do it. I'd do it myself although I don't think a robotic hand can trigger something, especially not if it's DNA-locked." Said Lion as Viper joined the others at the top of the ramp.
"Sir, I suggest you engage Gravitational Protocol 5, the suit will feel much lighter and less clumsy that way."
"What if it's some kind of trap? Do we really want the captain incapacitated from some artifact voodoo?"
[sorry if I'm making this more difficult than need be]
"Maybe it's a test, the sphere I mean, and any living thing that touches it will unlock it's secrets..."
"No-one lives forever!" Said Lion before suddenly putting one of his robotic hands ontop of the strut-like device connected to the sphere.
[Do a roll Doom.]
(wait, if it fails will it destroy you or just your robotic hand?)
[Whatever happens is up to Doomevil, seeing as he's the GM. It can be both good and bad.]
(( Back, and caught up. Lion you better not have just done fucked yourself. :v: ))
[Guys, I need your help with the Tropes site. I'm currently logging all the weapons I've made for the crew, although I can't remember all of them so if you happen to remember the name of your own guns that would be great, send me a PM if that's the case.]

[I ended up making a new page for the equipment, because Viper here was adding them to the characters page. Let's hope the admins don't strike it down and delete it.]

Mini Roll[7]: With no options visible Lion pressed his hand on the device, bracing for impact as the device suddenly activated. The device released an instructional tool, similar to a hologram but not really. There were shadows placing some object under the structure, which may be a piece of the Oracle. The shadows nodded to each other as they disappeared, vanishing as the Oracle part laid there for millennia. However, nothing really happened aside from a little explanation.
There's' obviously more to this than shown.
Lion let out a sigh of relief. "So uh, it's in there but we still don't know how to open up this big sphere?"
Pippin has a slight grin. "Okay, what now? Like, do we take it?"
"Whatever it is, looks like we need to put something under the sphere. That or whatever we need is located under the sphere. Ill go get the shovels. "
"Wait up there Varn! Sledge, can Herc dig?"
Viper took Lion's advice and activated the protocol into the Exo-suit, freezing for a moment as it reconfigured itself. "Thanks Lion." Viper said after the Exo-suit was done changing it's minor artificial gravity system but it was nevertheless much more comfortable for Viper then before.
Viper went to stood with everyone else around the strange sphere. Viper turn to face the device, hearing about it's effects on the small objects thrown. Viper made a conclusion and was about explain it only to be cut off as Lion put his hand on top of the device. Only to be shockingly,his hand was unharmed as short preventative hologram was display before them.
[Preliminary equipment page is now up, huge thanks to Damian. Still need to add some more info on some of the weapons alongside tropes for all of the items. Feel free to take a look at it though.]
[QUOTE=liberalllama;47692012]"Wait up there Varn! Sledge, can Herc dig?"[/QUOTE]
"Hell yeah we can dig!" Sledge exclaimed, unholstering his Workmaster Hammer.
With a few adjustments to the handle the hammer head flattened into a spade. It began to hum slightly as Sledge cranked the kinetic amplifier. The effect was incredible: The shovel cut through the dirt like a molten-hot knife through whipped cream. He scooped a handful of dirt and flung it over his shoulder and also over the horizon miles away.
Hercules, picking up on Sledge's cue, opened his mouth wide and used his bottom jaw like the scoop on a back hoe to scoop massive amounts of dirt out of the ground, which he promptly swallowed. And he just did this over and over again like 18 giant mouthfuls of dirt good lord.
Pippin's grin grew wider "See Varn, that's easier right?"
Varn looked at Pippin. "I never said it was a bad idea. Lets hope Hercules doesn't eat whatever is down there by accident."
"If he does, I'm not sorting through his shit to find it."
"Dracobines can't shit." Said Lion jokingly.
"Next time we capture pirates or enemy mercs , leave the interrogation to me and Hercules." Varn said, with a bit too much excitement in his voice.
