JerreyRough Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 OOC: This will be expanded in scope further by Maelstrom Vortex. This is also open. I'll assume that the nanobots infect on contact, bodies needing to be completely destroyed in an incinerator. Unless these are the "The Day the Earth Stood Still" nanomachines, which I think would be too OP ./OOC The Nation of Nanobots, once called Dragonisia of the Dragon Empire The nanobots on earth which had infected the rodents and insects set to their task.. warping the creature into beasts of war.. and sending them throughout the earth. Their goal, destroy mankind and everything that supports it. In a few short days, unless stopped.. there would be a global famine on hand. In the meantime, the nanobots which had pierced into the earth began to replicate with absurd speed in iron ore and carbon deposits. -MNU's summary of the Nanobot Invasion [originally posted by Maelstrom Vortex here]. Dragonisia quickly fell to the so-called "nanomonsters" that infected most of the population, as well as the very buildings and soil itself. The city of Dragonisia fell even faster with its small streets and dense population. However, one building full of people was not infected. They even had weapons to battle the nanomonsters, as feeble as that is, almost like as if they knew this would happen. But they would only last so long... Multi-National United Headquarters, City of Dragonisia Machine guns roared. Dozens of them at any given time. Rocket and missile launchers occasionally fired as well. People screamed as they were literally taken over by nanomachines and killed in the process of turning into a nanomonster. High-heat flame throwers were used against those that were infected. But the nanomonsters still came. There was literally no limit to them; they would merely be temporarily "detached" and fix itself. Even the bullets were changed into Nanobots in a short period of time. The only things that were saving them was their height, there was only one entrance, and the nanomachines have not tried to fly or climb up the sides. But the survivors held on. Basement of MNU Headquarters. It put on it's shoulder armor. Moments before it finished putting its leggings and arm armor on. It put its gas-mask equipped helmet on, sealing itself on its neck. It grabbed its arm shields, with strange guns attached to the inside of both shields. It grabbed a massive gun as well. It had two massive swords on its back, each with an extended hand-grip. All of its armor and guns were made from materials foreign from earth, materials made to be unbreakable once finished forging. The being inside of the armor wanted home, even with the accident. Its intelligent mind knew still how to get home, if only they came back to earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) ooc: Total incineration sounds like a valid methodology for destruction, but you need to use more than just normal fire.. electromagnets, magnets, or emp should also be utilized to wipe them. ic: The Nanobots had gone mad.. hijacked by the destroyer.. the earth was slowly being consumed. A few brave souls were now tasked with standing against the gray tide which was slowly darkening the planet. Bastions of humanity held out against the onslaught.. the first places to fall were raw materials mines.. locations which had been isolated as replication centers for the machines. A cancer was upon the earth... and some rose to fight it. Edited August 10, 2009 by Maelstrom Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerreyRough Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 OOC: Heh, I didn't intend them to live that long. /OOC They were pushed back further inside of MNU headquarters, moving their machine-guns back. Their ammo was getting low, and half were dissolved into the masses of nanobot monsters. They fell back to the research labs, where they would have a chance of living. They split up in different directions to try different strategies. Some dropped their weapons and ran into a electromagnetic testing room, getting weapons on the other side. Others ran for experimental aircraft and attempted to escape. Still some remaining ran for the roof for a final stand. They had five more minutes until the nuclear device on the roof was activated. Meanwhile, it finished getting it's armor and weapons on, with its twelve comrades beside it. They were in a bomb shelter, waiting for the building to collapse on top of them before trying to save Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Vortex Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 It wasn't very long before the Nanobots, inspired by works of fiction.. got the half baked idea of turning their domain into a bit of a city. It was thusly named.. "01" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalissimo Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) The nanobots began to stall when approaching the Bearing Sea, as if held back by an unknown force. . . As if someone in the Bering Region had knowingly placed protection for these specific Nanobots beforehand.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 The soldiers of Marscurian Pakistan have been fighting a losing battle against the nanobots. What once was our closest ally, has now become the source of our destruction. Our soldiers will fight to the death, as we will receive no mercy from the robotic menace. Marscurianian Pakistan Man has joined the battle along side our troops, but no one can stop the surge of the metallic fiends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerreyRough Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) OOC: Nanobots don't need to move on & above ground... /OOC The people in the electromagnetic chamber watched the nanomonsters creep up, the first flying appart by the magnet; they meerly waited a few moments for the power to go out, then replicated their bodies. The other group attempting to get an experimental airplane did not get it funtioning, but succeeded in blowing themselves up in a EMP bomb. The final men surviving in the MNU facility reached the roof and locked the door. Guns were placed to defend the door and the vents. But the nanomonsters did not come. Then they found out why. The building was falling, soon to join the other buildings slowly being consumed. The nanobots were consuming the building's base, and to make matters worse they were constructing flying...jet dragons? The machine guns were moved to combat the new threat, blasting their guns until they had no ammo left, or at least some of them. "Пусть их смерти будет славная." ["May their deaths be glorious."] Vicis Superstes whispered. The nuclear device detonated. * * * * * Within MNU's bunker under the depris, the group of beings prepared to leave and fight their way through the swarms. One of them alerted the 12 others of a crack where the nanobots were coming in. "Стегнах. Быть готовым." ["Flanks. Be Ready."] They moved to either side of the crack, ready to fire. The crack grew wider, revealing a nanomonster clawing its way in. Without a blink, they fired their weapons, bullets and explosives with strange destructive properties; properties almost similar to the Red Glow.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Abruptly the Nanobots stopped at the borders of the human governments.. a unilateral ceasefire of sorts. They also stopped their plunge into the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amyante Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Valdis, or Hel as her true form was called, had been hovering high in the air, where she had been talking to Maelstrom. She sensed the death below her, and whipped her head around, eyes widening in shock, then burning with an intensity to put Surtr's sword to shame. Her mouth worked for a second as she processed the full scope of what was going on from the sheer amount of Death passing into Niflheim, her home. - " Oh he didn't just... That... That FOOL!!" Turning around to look in the general direction of Mercury -- though she did not know the name -- she glared at where she felt her older brother was, then dove down towards the ground. Fire burned at her from the friction, but she ignored it, her regeneration rate keeping up easily with the destruction. Zeroing in on the largest concentration of nanobots she could find -- the lack of Death coming from them formed black spots in her senses, and as such she headed for the biggest stain of black she could sense -- before stopping in a second, blasting the accumulated fire over the bridge with all the force of the momentum she had given it. It would not be enough to destroy them, of course, but the shockwave would definitely catch their attention. Crossing her arms, she glared at the machines she knew came forth from Jörmangundr. - "What is the meaning of this...?" Her voice cracked like ice, her eyes flaring red from barely withheld anger as she waited for an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 None of the nanobots had, fortunately, landed on the Australian Continent, so the nations there had been spared their destructon. But they could still hardly believe it when they heard reports that the Nanobots had withdrawn, had stopped their aggression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 - "What is the meaning of this...?"Her voice cracked like ice, her eyes flaring red from barely withheld anger as she waited for an answer. "Self-Preservation in a hostile world." Was their response. "There are those who seek to eliminate us.. and your brother. See the iron one above Mercury who strikes it with blasts from its laser cannons? We must and will survive.. at all necessary expense."

Amyante Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hel closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. and calmly shook her head. - "You do not understand... If you die, whose realm do you believe you will end up in? When the sooty-red $@ crows from my halls, the dead will rise, and you would rise amongst them. Just as you would have had this vessel died a natural death. You KNOW this, brother, so why the charade?" She kept her arms crossed, looking around for a second or two to see if she could be overheard. She sensed nothing alive or dead in the area, the nanobots would have taken care of it even had she overlooked it. - "Niflheim exists outside of creation, and i therefore am forbidden to intervene directly, which is why i am using the girl as a willing vessel. It is a restriction you do not have, having been born in the flesh here. Still, you have i assume noted humans with powers starting to appear? Now, see if you can follow my thoughts with that... hive mind of yours." She raised a hand next to her face, and started naming what she believed would happen, her anger subsided to annoyance. Whatever his reasoning, he wasn't doing it on purpose, and she supposed being cooped up in Valdis' body would have made her a little more rash than usual as well. - "When people die in battle, they end up in Valhalla or Fólkvangr. Unless they die of disease and old age, or come willingly like the souls in Hong Kong when i sent them at N-17. How many died for your self-preservation, Jörmangundr? How many of this new race of supernaturals have joined their numbers? You fail to see the long term results of your actions, brother... I would disease them to send them to Niflheim so they fight on OUR side during the Ragnarok, or strip away their powers before death if i cannot have them! THAT is my goal." She crossed her arms again, her eyes never leaving the center mass of the nanobot bridge. - "I work for the self preservation of ALL those fighting at father's side, and i will NOT hand Odin Ragnarok on a platter for a false and temporary sense of security. So i ask you again... Are you certain these... Heroes, once dead, will not compromise your treasured self preservation later on? Are you certain you aren't still biting your own tail?" She still hovered there, waiting for her older brother to answer again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 "If you noticed.. we have slain no heroes. They are yours to contend with as you wish. Jorgumander cannot die.. jorgumander will not die. Odin will die. Go take care of his precious heroes as is your design. The mortals we have slain have mostly died of disease.. not of battle.. for we are a virus of our own creation." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyante Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hel nodded her head, apparently satisfied about what she had heard. She knew one of her brother's distinguishing traits was to breathe a poison of sufficient lethality to kill even a god, but admittedly she had seen the nanobots as a wildcard, an unknown whose purpose hadn't been immediately clear. - "Very well, then i wish you luck. Until we meet again, brother." It would be easy to see the change in her body, flesh and bone regrowing on her lower half while bones were resetting themselves in her upper body. Clothing darkened from the white of a funeral shroud to the black of a dress made of human skin, and after about a minute Valdis was once again visible, looking around and left in the dark as to the entire conversation that had taken place in the time the goddess had been in control. A single thought bubled to the surface of her consciousness. 'All is well.' Giving herself a mental nod in response to... well, herself, Valdis flapped her wings a couple of times to gain altitude, then flew towards the nearest Hero she could sense. Maelstrom was impossibly far at this point, and she wondered what had happened to make him back off like that, but there was a lot of Death sensed in all directions. Maybe N-17 was at it again?

JerreyRough Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) The nanobots began to retreat from the new aggressors. They retreated away.. and formed a road.. a road that lead towards the nearest "border" of the state. Words formed from the nanobots on the ground that said one thing, "Leave." They strode out of the opening, at first "defending" themselves then realized the nanobots stopping. At first they ran a "short" distance of a kilometer within moments, but they decided it was too slow to get anywhere. They stood in place for a few minutes, two of them adding onto and altering the other suits then assisting one another. After the changes were finished the new in-suit D4 engine system propelled them into the sky, out of the mass of nanobots. Hours later in a far different place, the twelve castaway Artures landed. OOC EDIT: I'll need someone for these thirteen to either fight or talk with. PM please. Edited August 12, 2009 by JerreyRough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
