"Awesome." Joseph looked pensive for a second, "As things stand if we don't make nice with at least one of those groups we're ******** ********. And if people are already shooting at you then we're double ******** that time a team of robots ran up in front of robots. His robots, that much was clear, and was made extra clear when the lead robot saluted Joseph. Soon after the team ran towards the building to get to work. AND after that two large crates filled with building supplies fell onto the spacious lawn where they were far away from crushing anyone.
"Well that's underway at least." He paused as Allen arived and Joseph turned to him to speak, "Yes it does. That robot that shot an RPG at you this time is likely from the same place as the robot that shot an RPG at you last time. Now we need a plan."

And with the robots came the Gambion.
He tailed on their heels, a bit farther back and falling behind at a steady pace. He was not up to running full out just yet. He still had a bit of metal in his back and two hastily wrapped wounds on his left side and arm. He had been sneaking about up until now, and that was all about moving slow. Now that he was trying to be quick things were starting to get sore again.
"Hey guys" He said, grating his teeth a bit as he jogged lightly onto the lawn in front of the house a short while after the robots.
"Long time no see."

"Cat's Cradle, then. I thought that looked familiar, which is why I put myself in harms way to get the image. If I thought they knew who I was, I'd almost think they were trying to blow me up."
Yap, still dripping blood. Ah well. He wasn't going to complain and waste time with medical attention, so unless somebody noticed, he was going to keep moving until he couldn't anymore.
"As for a plan...I think that the main group should stay here, while we have a group of our more combat ready people investigate. I'd stealth it myself, but with so many guns around I'd rather have back-up with me. The question is where to start.
The explosion from one of the domes seems like a good place to start, but then again, any other people are likely to be going there as well. But beyond the logo we don't have any other leads. So it's your call."

"Hold up there Kid Icarus." Joseph paused as his wrist rang, Getting a message from Kael..."
"Turns out he's comming back from the palace, if some of you guys want to rush out to meet him. I'm staying here until some of this stuff is done."

With the Cats Cradle logo revealed, the connection to cater city had been fully realized. Which meant of course that Kitten Hats couldn’t let them live. With robots and assassins after them it was good that they were about to have a base of operations. As the other members of the expedition poured over this information with a fatalistic attitude, Mozz couldn’t help but see it as a sign. During the Cater City incident he missed his shot, maybe this time he could help put an end to whoever was creating these robots for good.
As he was milling over this he heard a familiar voice, Jacknife or rather Gambion as he went by now has made his way to camp. That was a relief.
“You made it Jacknife! I was afraid you got captured…or worse.” He smiled as he walked over to his friend. “You seem a little worse for ware, why don’t you let me patch you up a bit?” Mozz put his left hand on Gambion's shoulder and let the mother strain do its job. A thin veneer of liken connected all of his wounds in a large green blob, clotting them and protecting them from infection. This bandage could even be used to provide Gambion with body armor later, which might be useful if he continued to get himself into scrapes like this.

((Sorry about vanishing, my internet up and died on me and I just got it going again.))
Gas? oh that couldn't be good...the smell of gas never meant anything good. However the though of whatever had once been cooking bursting into flame and causing the whole house to go up was a rather startling thought, so Raymond would have to chance it. Entering inside the kitchen with caution, making sure to leave the door open he approached the stove, taking one hand off the gun in order to reach for the switch or knob that marked the 'on' position for the stove. This knob or switch he would flip or turn, turning off the heat, hopefully before whatever had once been cooking caught fire. By now it had become hard to breathe, and without so much as a second thought Raymond retreated back out the door he had entered, leaving it open. Had nothing exploded, caught fire or otherwise gone wrong Raymond would proceed up the stairs from which water so freely flowed.

"In that case it'd be better to wait until he got back..."
A pause, as he looked at the blood on the floor behind him. Ah well, if they were going to be waiting anyways, might as well.
"There doesn't happen to be anyone here who can remove the shrepnel from my wings, is there?"

"Thanks man." Gambion, Jacknife, said.
He had to get used to that name again.
For some reason he wasn't bothered at all by the blobs of moss on his back and side. It was almost as if he had been through all this before. Meh.
Jacknife moved a bit closer to the guy with the wings. "I've got a knife I can dig it out with, but it might hurt a bit, scratch that, like hell." He offered, pulling a knife from his boot and flipping it back and forth between his fingers.
He thought for a second. "Actually... I have a better way as long as the stuff isn't in too terribly deep."
If he used his fingers to hold the wounds open a bit, he could use TK to pull the metal bits out and let them fall to the ground. That way he didn't have to stick anything in the wound, and it was relatively precise.

Whump.
The door opened, with a little extra force considering it'd just been foot-opened, and Lah caught the door as auto-follow Kael came after him. Then, the two moseyed down away from the Palace dome, onto the Ascended Way, and the first time Lah had ever actually paid any attention to the quality of the neighbourhood.
"Hoo, nice place..."

"I've got a floating medical robot that can do it much more effectively." Joseph thumbed at one of the two disks floating behind them, "Unless you want to do it the hard way."

"Do whatever you have to. I just need the metal and stone out before I can do anything with it myself."
And with that said, Allen braced himself for pain, waiting for the tools nad such to be digging into his scaled wings.

"Ok, it's got juice for three more people, so Allen's one. Who else hurt the worse?"
He asked in general.

Doo-dee-doo, Lah wandering back with Kael right behind him. Not much to do, until he reached Joseph and everyone.
He had to narrowly dodge around a sewer entrance that had had the cap or whatever removed, though, after nearly falling in.
"... Who steals sewer plugs?"

“Do they do blood transfusions?” Mozz asked Joseph with a grin. "If they do, I'll be in business a lot longer."

Lah finally reached the Bryant crew, stopping in front of the building and waving.
"Yo."
