Robin ; January 21st; OTA

[hackingyoursensors]

[Dick had watched a lot of zombie movies: some good, most terrible, and all inaccurate. Apparently.

These were not the shambling masses yelling "braaaains" that they show in movies. No, these things are fast. They're not scratching at windows and moaning: they're opening the windows and pouring in, going after anything even remotely living. He'd already seen a kedan turned right in front of him. Making these things vampire zombies. Sort of.

For the moment, he throws any conventional zombie-vampire wisdom out the window and tries to cut a path for fleeing kedan and foreigners. However, even though he can move fast and is able to lose the zombies, he does wear out. And they, unfortunately, don't.

So he'll need to strategize. And he could use a few extra pairs of hands.]

[imaginate]

[An extra pair of hands? Try the most powerful weapon in the universe.

There's a blast of green light from the sky, clearing a path. Kyle can't kill them, but he can slow them down: they have put themselves back together. It's long enough for Robin to direct the civilians towards the safe(r) path and not worry about being bitten (yet).

He waves. Defusing life threatening situations with humor, that's what they do.] How's Night of the Living Dead so far?

[hackingyoursensors]

Could use a little less "living" and a little more "dead" for those guys.

[He ushers a small group of kedan into a safehouse.

Unfortunately, he doesn't get much of a breather. They're reassembling pretty quickly. Time to run again.]

Any chance you've fought in a zombie apocalypse?

[imaginate]

Sorry, Zombies 101 is a few months down the road for me. [Kyle wills a small forcefield around Robin so he's protected from bites, before he blasts more of them apart.] Any ideas how to keep them permanently down?

[hackingyoursensors]

We have to keep them from reassembling... damage them so bad that they can't.

[It dawns on him.]

Fire! Of course!

[imaginate]

Got anything flammable? Liquid? Propane? [Kyle rings up a flamethrower. It's obvious he can't actually generate real fire.]

[hackingyoursensors]

I have explosive Batarangs. Can you see anything I could use as an accelerant from up there?

[imaginate]

[Quick scan with the ring.] Not here. There might be some in Fire Sector.

[hackingyoursensors]

Makes sense. Come on.

[Dick why are you running Kyle can fly.]

[imaginate]

Robin? [He keeps pace and rings up a small motorcycle.] I can get us there faster.

[hackingyoursensors]

Right.

[Hey, he's used to supplying his own ride. Or using the Bio Ship.]

[He climbs on and is flying through the streets expertly. Luckily he knows all of the backways and alternate routes because there are a lot of zombies.]

[imaginate]

[Kyle's right next to him, memorising as much of the locale as he can.

When they're over Fire, he slows down and the ring starts scanning for supplies.] There. [Descends.] There's some in here.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He dismounts immediately, going over to the small building. Probably holding leftover supplies for the bonfires.]

Cover me.

[He carefully opens the door, sincerely hoping a zombie doesn't pop out. He would normally scout the area first, but there's no time or breathing room to do so.]

[imaginate]

[Kyle stays near the door, ring glowing slightly, ready to blast apart anything that might come their way.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Dick scans the room for any sign of movement before entering.]

[Oh look, a nice pile of firewood.

...and a small book of matches. He pockets it because why not. Just in case the Batarang doesn't do its job and he needs a plan b]

Alright, we've got the supplies, now we need a real plan.

[imaginate]

[Kyle briefly looks over to where Dick is standing, his eyes falling on the firewood.] We could set a trap - lead them into an open area and use the wood to make a bonfire. [Hm. He hoped there was an area wide enough to that the fire wouldn't spread or damage anything except the jiangshi.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Thoughtfully:] We'll call that plan A.

There's an open plaza not too far from here. If we're going to lure the zombies anywhere, that'd be the best place.

The question is, can they tell if we've set a trap.

[imaginate]

From what I've seen, I don't think so. They seem too preoccupied with wanting to bite us. [He nods, firmly.] We should find some propane for Plan B.

[hackingyoursensors]

What's plan B?

[imaginate]

[Kyle rings up a very large flamethrower and flashes Robin a very wicked grin.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Oh he likes the way you think, Kyle.]

Are you sure that shouldn't be plan A?

[imaginate]

No, it's too more time-consuming, and I'll need refills. [Flamethrower vanishes.] We should aim to take out as many as we can in one strike.

[hackingyoursensors]

Then we'll have to play it smart.

We'll need somewhere contained, but away from the kedan safehouses. We set the trap, lure them in, and light it.

[imaginate]

Got it. [Beat.] I can scan the area to make sure there's no civilians - and since they'll see me anyway, I can lure them in.

[hackingyoursensors]

While you do that, I'll get the trap itself set up. First, we'll have to find a contained area, though.
