Phoenix Industries

"Did it ever occur to you to pick a different name besides Martin or names spawning from that name?" she asked them both.

"We're all Martin, just different parts of Martin. Y'see, he's the insecure, lazy one, I'm the awesome one who gets stuff done... we all have numbers anyway, we go by those officially," Marty shrugged. "I'm One, he's Two, the big M down in the science wing is Three, and then there's Marticia- no idea where she came from, but she's in the science wing, too- she's Four. Five is Tintin, he's a bit of an idiot, though, so they have him working in food." Marty paused for a moment, "Martin here doesn't get a nickname, since he's the lamest."

"Marty's the egotistical side..." Martin explained quietly. "I'm the self conscious side, the big M is the power hungry side, Marticia is the nurturing side, Tintin...like Marty said, he's an idiot."

"That kind of makes sense.... but how did you manage to split up like that?" she asked, still kind of confused.

OOC: TinTin? Like the movie?

OOC: I guess. xD Haven't seen it/don't know what it's really about, though.

"We're not actually sure. We know it was a cloning experiment, from our notes, but the experiment itself wasn't detailed... The big M is working on figuring out what happened, and how to get us all back together..." Martin explained, frowning.

"That makes sense, I guess." Victoria shrugged. "Am I cleared to go try and kick robot ass again?" she asked.

"I think you'd be fine, just be careful not to open the bullet hole again. You should go see Mr. Phoenix, remember where his office is?" Martin asked.

"I can take you there if you want!" Marty spoke up, sounding rather childish.

"I remember where it is, thanks though." she said, nodding. "Thanks for everything, Martin." Victoria smiled.

"You're welcome," Martin responded, returning the smile.

As Victoria left, she would hear Marty making fun of Martin for finally getting a girl friend.

Victoria couldn't help but smile, even though it wasn't really true. She kept walking though, and finally reached Phoenix's office. She rapped on the door, making sure her presence was known.

Back at Jack's place...

Jack laid out the scematics for the next pace he was going to hit. It was time to start planning.

"A-Ah come in!" Vladimir called from inside. Victoria opened the door to find both Vlad and Dexter looking rather messy and rather embarrassed.

"Bye Dex, have fun on your mission!" Vlad called weakly after the woman as she marched out of the office.

Victoria shot a sideways glance at Dexter as she left, and turned her attention back to Vlad. "Sorry to interrupt your 'alone time'," She added air quotes for emphasis and sarcasm. "But I want another shot at those robots."

"You're lucky I'm not Dex," Vlad muttered under his breath, before raising his tone. "Go for it, I'll be watching," he stated, straightening his tie.

"Alright then." she said, and pulled out her pen before going down to the arena room again. The floor opened up, and she jumped in, awaiting the activation of the droids she was determined to take down.

The five robots stepped into the arena once again, one firing the standard warning shot.

Victoria uncapped the pen, revealing the sword. She decided to try a different approach. She charged at one, and sliced through it, the top of it falling to the ground. She went to a second one and stabbed it as well, and moving on to a third to slice down in half. Sparks flew with each one's death.

OOC: Silly, Rose, do you not understand how this works? Saying you automatically killed my character (the robots) is godmod. xD

The first two robots were successfully killed, however, when Victoria slashed at the third one, the sword simply clanged off the metal.

OOC: But I left the third one for you anyway. Didn't I kill one or two the last time? Sorry though. (:

"Time for a change in direction." she said irritably, capping the pen then clicking it to form a whip. She backflipped away from the robot, snapping her whip at it in midair.

OOC: No prob, the only the third one would have survived anyway.

The remain robots fired more shots at Victoria, before the third one was decapitated by the whip.

Victoria worked on dodging the bullets, sending another whip crack at the fourth robot. One bullet grazed her side, which meant she'd probably have to pay Martin a visit later. She ignored the pain though, and cracked the whip a second time.

The whip simply snapped at the robot, seemingly doing nothing to it as the remaining four continued firing.

"Dammit." Victoria said angrilly, working on figuring something out. She saw a lightpost, and ran over to it, then sliced in half with her sword. The light went out, and she cut the light part off of it, giving her a long staff. She started to charge at one of the robots, intending to run it through.

OOC: Wat. Light post? I'll run with it...

The robot was impaled, the other three continuing to fire at her.

Toni was watching Victoria, and raised an eyebrow when she impaled the robot. ...Where did that light post come from?

Jack began to get change as it started getting late.

Time to get to work.
