Open Invitation, Testing Out the Newly Improved Simulation Chamber

((Fix your post Matt))

"I don't think so. I didn't really know I was superhuman when I was playing. I was stronger than most, faster too. Nothing that would scream 'Superhuman' though. It wan't until after my wife was murdered did my abilities really spike."

The elevator finally touched down and the co-designers of the battle chamber led the group to the chamber.

"Here it is. My pride and joy. Step in and I'll give you a full tour."

(just delete it then if you have to be so stubborn about it. I don't see anything in there that said there wasn't one so I said that.)

Cassiel sighed, He hated structuralized events. Most of the time they don't work out the way planned. When they arrived at their destination he said, "Well, if we are done with the plesantries. can we get started?"

"So quick to business, what a buzzkill, why don't you just tell us the outcome of the fight, you probably know it anyway" Obsidior said walking backwards flipping off Cassiel playfully.

((No Matt, the only way down is by elevator.))

(Right there I told you.)

(then delete the post. I cant do that here.)

Cassiel ignored Kip's remark as he walked alongside gary. He Read his mind and found the game Gary was most fond of. Cassiel lowered his voice as he recited the announcers comments. Cassiel was bored he had to do something to pass the time.

Wolf looked at the group before falling into step looking bored,His eyes flicked around examining the area with a touch of boredom."Ok let's get started".Wolf walked over to the right side and sat down waiting on the rest of his team.

Xyron stepped inside the chamber, nodding in admiration. He spread his wings wide, stretching in anticipation of the fight ahead. "Very nice, very nice. I'll have to get the specifications from you after our test run." He spun once, trying to see the entirety of the room. It seemed everyone was eager to get started, so he wouldnt bog the group down discussing specs with the creator. There would be plenty of time for that later. Xyron's wings returned to their normal position just as his arms began to stretch. Blue beams emerged from the tips of his fingers when he reached the full extended position, but then vanished as he finished. Rolling his head once, then twice, Xyron finished limbering up.

The chamber was deceptively large, spanning nearly the entirety of New Orleans. The curved plain white walls did little to give away that fact though, since all anyone could see in any direction was white, however, one could still tell they were inside a technological marvel. Overmind began speaking, "It may look plain, but I can fix that real quick. Run simulation 7664, Condition: Perfect." Throughout the room a great sheen overtook the walls. All around the group frames of buildings were being built in a holographic blocks that quickly solidified. People were built on wire frames. About twenty seconds passed and the horizon was filled with medeival structures. Peasants filled the streets and the air was filled with a musty scent mixed with that of far off horse maneur.

Cassiel ignored the change in scenery as he Interlocked his fingers above his head and raised them streching himself in the process. He cracked a small smirk as he took flight to the castle way off to the distance. It was a plan likely to fail but It would give him some amusement doing so.

"I wasn't done! I'm still showing the room off." Overmind yelled into the distance. "Hey Claire."

"Yes, Gary?" the room responded.

"Ruin it." The room seemed to shake violently as buildings fell and people vanished.

Cassiel tried to reason with him. He called out knowing that he was still within audible distance. "Once you're done showing off Gary, please start it off with the previous simulation thank you." Cassiel flew off to the far edge of the arena. Once there, he turned, hovered and pulled up his telescope, watching and waiting.

Xyron watched with interest as the medieval scene stretched out before him. It reminded him of a time so long past, when he wandered aimlessly performing miracles. That time in particular was difficult, as everyone seemed to be trying to kill each other and disease was rampant. Even now, Xyron mentally avoided bringing up the "Black Death." It was... a VERY trying time.

Xyron was just getting used to the surroundings when Overmind's AI started to destroy the simulation. Xyron cringed in anticipation, expecting his gut to start yelling at him to rescue all of the nearby civilians. When he felt nothing, he remembered that is was all just simulation. Still, he felt an uneasy nervousness with all the destruction raining around him. He realized his hands were glowing and he quickly shook them out. Old habits die hard.

Xyron nodded at Overmind. "Very realistic." Xyron spoke loudly to overcome the sound of the destruction. He realized he was overdoing it a bit, and coughed to cover the correction. "I'm surprised at just how much so it is. Does your 'Claire' control each individual with the same precision as these, or do only the creatures and characters in the foreground garner her detailed attention? And to what extent? Are they merely faces, or do they each have a programmed set of actions and reactions based on a randomized history generator?" Xyron was in the zone, dying to swap ideas and answers. He knew it should probably wait until after the battle, but he was far too eager to feign disinterest.

Wolf looked around the simulated City and nodded."Hey Slam you got a Gladiatorial Arena in these simulations"?Wolf eyes flicked from one area to the other taking a few steps as the place began to fall apart."Huh what a shame.

Overmind responded to Xyron while Slam handled Wolf's question.

"Thank you Xyron. I'm glad to meet another man of science. Well not man necissarily in your case. But I'm sure you know what I mean. So many of these hero types are quick with their fists, not so much with their heads. I'd be happy to explain the details afterwards though."

"I'd be surprised if this thing didn't have a simulated version of any situation you could think of. But please, don't try and prove me wrong."

Xyron nodded, all too eager to pick Overmind's...well...mind. But he could wait for a little while longer. This training was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Xyron didnt want to miss. Granted, the term once-in-a-lifetime hardly applied to someone in his situation, but the implication was present regardless. "I'll be sure to hold you to that, Overmind. But for the sake of the 'quick with their fists' types, perhaps we should get our training session underway? Surely the easiest way to test out this newly improved simulation chamber would be to initialize a field test, no?"

Slamfist turned his attetion to Xyron now, "That's why we invited you here mate, for a little field test."

Overmind motioned to Slam and the two took off away from the group. "Fix it up Claire, it's time for a medieval war story to unfold."

The room quickly formed itself back together, almost like pressing rewind on a VCR.
