Penny Lloyd & WW enjoy a little extreme sports

OOC - Well, Since no one's posted with their characters response for
where WW's ship is... So here's my continuation post.
Rpg -
--------------
Penny Lloyd stopped one of the people walking by and asked, "Can you
tell us where White Wolf's ship is?"
The crewman stopped and shook his head.
Before Penny could stop another crewman to inquire, White Wolf
touched her shoulder and said
"Don't bother, I found it." As he pointed towards the ceiling of the
landing bay, and Penny looked up to see the little ship was hanging
above the arena.
"Now how in Smeg are we going to get up there?!?" Exclaimed Penny.
"Well, we'll use what He's using." replied the huge hamster gesturing
to one of the engineers floating above the arena in something that
looked like a goofy hovercraft.
"That is, unless you feel like parasailing down to it from the
ceiling somewhere." Joked the huge hamster.
Penny got a excited gleam in her eye.
The overgrown hamster looked at her and quickly understood what she
was suddenly thinking, and then finally said, "I should have known
better to keep my big trap shut... Ok, so where's the Parasail gear,
Penny?"
"Just follow me" She replied while excitedly dashing off.
------------------
About an hour later they were fully geared up and looking down from
their chosen launching point.
"Ok, let's go over this one more time - We'll parasail over to the
top of your ship, then slide down the side until we can attach our
crampons and then we'll rappel over to the your bottom access hatch
with the mountain climbing gear, Right?"
"Yes, Penny. Are you don't want to do this the easier way?"
"But, that wouldn't be as fun as this!" Replied Penny as she jumped.
The huge hamster shrugged and muttered "Too bad I don't have some
mood music for this." and then jumped after her.
Penny took her time circling her way down, while the overgrown
hamster on the other hand, wasted little time heading for his chosen
landing spot on the little ship. He landed with a thump that knocked
the wind out of him, and he nearly slid off the side while he
scrabbled with his claws to get a hold on the ship. He finally got a
hold, and quickly attached a crampon so he could release his chute
before it fouled with anything and cause him problems. For the next
few moments he worked his way down to the little ships hatch, and
started to open it when he suddenly heard Penny let out a whoop and
swung towards him on her parasail.
The overgrown hamster quickly grabbed a hold of her harness before
she fell out of his reach. After a few milliseconds of quick fervent
grabs from the both of them, Penny was able to attach a safety line
and let her parasail drop. Then the hamster opened the hatch and
climbed in and offered her a hand up.
"Wooo Weee! I haven't had that much fun in some time! Don't you look
forward to our chuting down after we get your stuff?" yelled Penny
with excited glee while pulling off her skydiving helmet.
"Yeah, Sure thing." said White Wolf as he quickly knelt and picked up
the Vidman containing Holly 2 from the floor and sliding it into one
of his vest pockets hoping she wouldn't notice.
Penny stared around for a moment "Wow - I see what you mean, about
this ship. It's not as small on the inside as it looks outside.
Alright so, we've made it to your cockpit, Now what?"
"Well, let me switch all the other transcendental stuff back on, and
then we should be able to go through that door to the other levels."
"Just how big does your ship get?"
"It's got seven total levels, but that's the only thing the only
constant, everything else can be changed, even which way is up
because we're on the top level as a matter of fact." replied the
hamster as he turned on several of his ships systems.
"But didn't we just come in on the bottom?"
"Well, Yes and no. On the outside we're on the bottom, but on the
inside we're on the top."
Penny gave a goofy grin and said "So when we go down, we'll be going
up Right?"
"yep."
"yeah right, next your gonna tell me we're not really on the Blue
Dwarf!"
"umm... ahh... Nevermind - It'll take too long to explain and you got
the general idea anyways. Let's just get going and get the stuff."
managed the hamster as he walked over and opened the other door
inward to the rest of his ship.
Penny followed the hamsters lead as they walked down a long hallway,
pausing to look into the various multitude of rooms. Then when she
saw the contents of one room, she ran into it inquiring "Where did
you get all this medieval armour and weapons? There's got to be
enough to equip an army in here!"
"Oh, that's from when I was time traveling and visited medieval
Europe. That time period was the only one where I could successfully
disguise my 'hamsterish' appearance without attracting too much
trouble. I was quite annoyed when a knight I was jousting finally
knocked off my helmet and got me denounced as a demon spirit
inhabiting the suit of armour. It spoiled the fun for me, and I
haven't been back since. Perhaps I should go back sometime, just for
some more grins and giggles."
"So you were some kind of 'hamster knight in shining armour'? Oh,
come on! But it does sound like it must have been fun."
"It certainly was. Remind me if you want me to teach you how joust
sometime, but now's not the time for this, we've got some
robot 'jousting' to do. We can pick up the bots weapons from my
modern armoury just three doors down from here."
"Sure, I'd love to try out some these beautiful weapons. I might take
you up on your offer later!" said Penny as she reluctantly replaced
the sword she just unsheathed to look at longingly.
They continued on and entered the little ship's modern weapons
armoury. Penny stopped at the entrance, staring and suddenly
exclaiming under her breath "Holy mother of God. You've got more
weapons in here than I ever seen at any military warehouse or base.
If Major Harris knew you had it on board, I think he'd have had you
restocking some of the securities depleted stores."
"Well, I let's say I made it a habit of purloining some of this to
put gun runners out of business in various. But most of the stuff
from the twentieth century is from when I out bid some Iraqi freedom
fighters at a dealers auction. Especially the manpack SAM's, LAW's
and those three tactical non nukes over there. Most of this other
stuff we won't need." replied White Wolf while gesturing towards them
and sorting through the stuff to locate their list of required weapon
parts for repairs to the Amourzilla.
"Yeah, But I sure would love to get a chance to use a lot of it!"
Replied Penny while stacking up some of the needed stuff out in the
hallway.
-----------------------
Twenty minutes later, and deeper inside the ship, The huge hamster
and Penny Lloyd pushed a large cart loaded with various parts and
tools into a large warehouse area with what looked like a house sized
transparent metal cube containing some kind of bank vault in the
center of it. The Huge hamster motioned to stop, and said "This is
were we can get the busted guardian Bot's AI unit."
"What's that?" asked Penny pointing to the transparent cube.
"That's where I'm keeping something very important, heavily guarded
inside that chamber." replied White Wolf as he walked over to a work
bench and picked up something.
"How's it gaurded? I only see some bank vault, was your broken bot
supposed to be guarding it?"
"Oh yes, it was one of seven transcendental Bion ball guardian bots
that are inside the chamber until it got damaged during an
altercation with the other bots, which for some reason, shot it up.
Which consequently caused this Bot's AI to take a hatred for all
mechaniods, Especially Other Bion balls." The huge hamster held out a
charred crystal clear sphere the size of a grapefruit to Penny.
"What's that, your busted magic crystal ball?" Said penny glancing at
the little charred crystal sphere as she took it from the huge
hamster.
"Nope, that's the damaged bion ball who's AI unit we're going to swap
into the Amourzilla."
Penny held it up to the light, while replying "But I don't see any
components anywhere on this, and I can see right through it."
"What better way for it to blend into the surroundings, and sneak up
on intruders without being seen, Huh? It's all transcendental. You
never see them except at just the moment they reveal their position
by firing."
Penny walked towards the transparent cube while asking "So there's
six more fully functioning one's of these in there, but we can't see
them right now?"
"Yep. But don't step over that yellow line which circuits around that
chamber, because I think the adaptive AI's in a couple of them Bion's
have gotten a bit of a nasty streak in them, and that's probably why
this one's gotten damaged. They use nearly any excuse to start fire
fights amongst themselves, and since they have hysper dynamic force
fields to warp and incoming shots around their physical forms, their
shots hit everything but each other. I'm pretty sure they regard it
as some kind of cute fireworks show, but it's a fireworks show that
could easily vaporize a solar system with all that energy bouncing
around in there."
Penny quickly stepped back, and asked apprehensively "Is this thing
as dangerous as them?"
"Well, not since it's been damaged, the other Bion's certainly
crippled that physical shell beyond repair."
"So when we put it's AI in the Amourzilla, It won't have carry over
any of it's weaponry right?"
"Yep, it'll just transfer the brain, memory or 'personality' to a new
body so to speak, and that's it."
Penny nodded feeling less apprehensive, and smiling while
continuing, "Alright, Sounds like we got everything we need then.
Let's haul this lot back upstairs so we can do some more parasailing."
------------------------
Much later, Penny & White Wolf had parasailed down with their
equipment into the arena. As they landed, before any bystanders could
asked them what was going on, Donover and several other security
officers quickly arrived to load up the Amourzilla's equipment and
haul it away to the cargo bay to install as Penny had earlier
arranged by com link.
It was about 5:30 in the morning when White Wolf, Penny, and Donover
finally got done with installing all the equipment into the
Amourzilla.
As they sat back for a few minutes, Donover said, "Ok, How's about a
test run?"
<OOC - I'll let you post about the Amourzilla's test, Andy/Major
Harris!>
