Miscalculated Trajectory (S.C.O.U.T.)

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

Miscalculated Trajectory (S.C.O.U.T.)

Post by Food_Truk » Tue Jul 29, 2025 2:05 pm

Somewhere, in a dim and dull part of the Brikverse...

Image

Ren: "What do you mean, sent us to the wrong coordinates?!"
Command: "Sorry, pal! Accidents happen! It seems your current location has zero minerals to activate the portal, but I'm certain that a qualified team leader like yourself can think of a solution! Command, over and out!"
Ren: "Hey, don't you dare-DON'T HANG UP YOU-"

Image

Ren: "Great! Just great! We're stranded!"
Axle: "So what're we going to do now?"
Prof. Brickleton: "If I may chime in, gentlemen..."

Image

Prof: "Perhaps the giant device that was kept offscreen for the dramatic reveal may be of use."

Image

Jenny: "Cool, An XTractor 2500."
Prof: "Exactly! All we need now is material to put in it, and it'll generate the energy we need to activate the portal!"
Ren: "But where are we going to get the material? This place is so dull and empty!"

Image

Prof: "On the contrary! May I direct your attention to the other side..."

Image

In the near distance, a peaceful CLOan protest is taking place...

Image

Poohead: "What do we want?!"
Illuminated: "Brand equality!"
Poohead: "And how are we going to get it?!"
Illuminated Guy: "...By asking nicely?"

Image

Jenny: "Yeah, those nerds'll make excellent portal fuel."

Skirmish So Short It Might As Well Be A Soap

Image

Axle takes aim, and sends one flying towards the unaware group of Illuminated...

Image

...Turning three of them into scrap as everyone else but Poohead gets knocked down!

Image

Poohead takes a run for it, like a dirty coward!

Image

Axle: "Are they supposed to be this fragile?"
Prof: "Of course! They're CLOans!"

Image

Jenny: "Time to finish them off!"

Image

Unfortunately her explosive malfunctions, sending three of them to the ground. A container of goo is dropped, breaking on the floor and leaving a risky mess!

Image

Ren: "Finish off WHO, exactly? Us???"
Prof: "I'll show you kids how we did it back in my day!"

Image

Two small lightning bolts wreck two of the crippled survivors in a mediocre display of spellcasting.

Image

Ren: "Were the battles smaller back in your day as well?"
Prof: "Let me see you do better, then!"
Ren: "Since you insist..."

Image

Ren focuses on the green goo, thoughts and ideas coursing through his mind...

Image

The goo shapes itself around Ren's pistol, solidifying itself as a GT gun upgrade!

Image

No time is wasted as Ren unleashes a cloud of toxic GT on the surviving Illuminated...

Image

...Pretty much killing whatever was left as the battle comes to a smelly, environmentally unfriendly end.

--AFTERMATH--

Image

Jenny: "That should be the last of the remains."
Prof: "Then let's turn on this machine and pray it works..."

Image

To everyone's surprise, the machine starts extracting GT from the CLOan corpses as the portal slowly starts powering up!

Image

Ren: "Time to get out of this trashyard!"

Image

[PORTAL WARPING SOUNDS, LIKE "PSHOOWOOWOO" AND "BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEWOOOOOOO"]

Image
