KF-Oz grinned. "I'm a friendly type. I like to hug people occasionally."

Latmerius waits.

*So do the tentacles. There grip isn't that strong, however, so a sudden burst of activity should free the Marine. He just needs to figure out how to stop them grabbing him again*

*The Yarn Sphere starts searching for something*

Sir MDM nodded, then stared off in the direction of the River. "Excuse me a moment, Oz." The Knight waved his hand, and...

River

...Latmerius shimmered and vanished, likely taking some of the tentacles with him...

...where they reappeared next to Oz and Sir MDM.

The Space Marine tilted his head before nodding to Oz.

*The severed tentacles flop about for a bit, before finally going still*

*The Yarn Sphere finds a nice big rock and grabs it*

Sir MDM stared at the severed tentacles for a moment before producing a steel box, opening it, and scooping the appendages inside it.

"Taking these for study."

I'll let you know the results when you do the tests.

BTW, what's Fort Persistence doing about the incoming rock?

[mdm]

((As soon as it detects it? Railgun spam. Also turbolasers.))

Hmm, what's the Fort's detection range? I'm wondering if it can see it quick enough to blast it into small enough pieces. Otherwise, there's going to be some collateral, but the Fort is safe.

[mdm]

((High orbit at most. Any farther would be pretty ridiculous.))

That should be far enough. As it's your Fort, you want to describe it blasting the rock apart?

[mdm]

((Sure.))

[mdm]

Persistence Hall's long-range sensor network picked up the approach of the Sphere-hurled space rock, acquiring the rock's trajectory and feeding the data to the fortress's missile defense system's computers.

Within moments, a salvo of cruise missiles were being launched from hidden silos, rocketing up towards the incoming rock. When they intercepted the rock, they'd explode, most likely shattering it.

*The incoming rock is blasted into many smaller rocks. These then are burnt up while entering the atmosphere, creating an impressive light show*

Deep Space
*Swishing its battle tendrils angrily, the Sphere flies off, looking for more rocks*

[mdm]

The fortress launches automated probes, which zoom up through the atmosphere and out into space after the Sphere, keeping track of its movements.

KF-Oz had been watching the light show, impressed. Now she turned to Sir MDM, and gave him a hug.

"Thank you. Dealing with that space rock would have been a bit beyond my capabilities."


Beach
The townsfolk all turned out to watch the light show, making a celebration of it. A party broke out on the beach, with foodstuffs and drinks supplied by the Restaurant.

*The probes will observe the Sphere gathering many asteroids holding each one in a tendril. Do they do anything before it's finished?*

[mdm]

The probes transmit their data feeds to the Hall, where the main computer began calculating possible trajectories for the asteroids as well as firing solutions for a series of missiles which the silos were about to launch.

*After collecting half a dozen large asteroids, the Sphere flies back and throws them all at Fort Persistence. The Fort's computer has of course already calculated the trajectories and can take them out before they hit the atmosphere*

[mdm]

The missiles are launched; once they reach high orbit, they crack open, revealing satellites inside. The satellites orient to face the rocks, firing powerful lasers at the asteroids.

*The laser barrage blasts the asteroids into smaller and smaller pieces until all they can do is produce another light show*

*Angrily, the Sphere charges the satellites*

KF-Oz reached out, slightly to her left, and did...something. What it was was not apparent.

Inside the Pavilion, the light show became visible to those townsfolk within it. They settled down to watch, making a party of it.


Beach
The second light show served as additional entertainment for the party on the beach. Some attempted to photograph it, with varying degrees of success.

[mdm]

The satellites rotate to target the Sphere. Charging up again, they unleash a salvo of lasers at the onrushing craft.

The Hall, meanwhile, launches a volley of concussion missiles at the Sphere.

*The lasers do heavy damage before the Sphere manages to adapt to their attack. It begins to swat and crush the Satellites...*

*Before being blindsinded by the missile volley. The explosion do even more damage and send the Sphere flying. Quickly, the Collective's craft puts it's shield up against any further missile attacks as it attempts to repair the damage*

Location Unknown
Origami awakens in unfamiliar surroundings. Groggily she asks, "Where am I?" She rubs the sleep out of her eyes with the pad of her paw.

[OzLionHeart]

Origami's Location
Origami will see that she is lying on a daybed, still dressed in her "mermaid" outfit (slightly damp), and apparently in someone's house. The room appears to be a guest room, with typical furniture around the place and a colourful rug on the floor. There are two doors; one opens onto a small bathroom, and the other leads to a staircase going down, where she will find an entrance hall, with the front door ajar. A folded note sits on a small table next to the daybed, with Origami's name on it.

A butterfly with pretty green-tinted wings circles her head a few times, then hovers in front of her face, studying her. Origami can almost hear the butterfly saying "Oh, good, you're awake."
