The X-scrolls., Eat plasma, Daedra. Options

[jack cloudy]

Here's the new one. It isn't TES yet, and I actually don't have a clue what I really want to do. All I wanted was to get an X-COM soldier into Tamriel. No better way to do that than with the biggest Elerium explosion in history. Hey, if it can create anti-gravity fields, hot plasma and big explosions it might just be able to make a rip into another dimension.



Prologue: Cydonia or bust.

Yet another bolt of superheated plasma flew past him at almost the speed of light. He came out of hiding and ran over to another row of chairs, firing of a few shots over his shoulder as he went. He skidded to a halt and dove behind the chairs. How long had this been going on? Twenty seconds?

,,Way too long for a single firefight. We’ve got to finish this one before the bugs creep up our back.” He thought when the chair in front of him was vaporized.
,,Damn! Terence, cut the playing and just vapo the whole room with a Blaster Bomb!” He shouted as he got up and fired at the two robed figures on the other end of the room. At least he managed to sent one of the aliens on a single trip to the afterlife. He didn’t got the chance to target the next one because the now empty clip popped out of his weapon.

He dropped the Heavy Plasma and aimed his much smaller but still powerful pistol.
,,Terence, what’s taking you so long?!” A quick glance showed him that Terence would never finish his job. His head had been cleanly blown away by a Plasma blast.
,,Damn, I’m the only one left.”He managed to kill the remaining alien more with luck than skill and lowered his pistol.

The room had been pretty much wasted from the plasma flying back and forth but the big thing that took up the far end of the room still seemed to be in good shape. He walked over to what was left of Terence and picked up the huge tube-like launcher.
,,If that big thing over there controls every bug in the system, I might as well make sure I take it out by using the biggest explosive ever seen.” He muttered to himself as he slipped one of the silvery football-shaped (American-style) Blaster Bombs into the launcher and began to type in the waypoints.

,,Why do you want to do that? It will only result in your death as well as mine. Don’t shoot me. There are better options.” The voice in his head was very convincing and he noticed that his hand moved on its own and cancelled all the waypoints.
,,No, the Avenger was blown up just after landing. I’ll be stuck on Mars till I run out of air anyway. We knew it was a suicide mission even before we left Earth. I’d rather go out in a big bang and take you monsters with me.” He told himself and his shaking hand typed in another set of waypoints.
,,Hasta la vista, baby. ” He spoke with a smirk and pressed the firing button.

The elerium-powered bomb shot out of the tube and raced towards the big alien thing at the end of the room. Just before reaching it, it stopped in mid-air and slid to the left in a manoeuvre that only anti-gravity propulsion could do. It then slammed into the wall and exploded.

What the man didn’t know was that there was a large number of Elerium Powercores standing right behind that wall. The Elerium inside those was also added to the already titanic explosion. The Explosion spread outward and completely vaporized the Alien device but began to change as it spread. It turned pinkish and then golden. The explosion was far different than every other explosion he’d ever seen. He didn’t get a chance to wonder about what happened for the explosion smacked into him like a giant skyscraper falling on top of him. He lost consciousness from the blow.

I was thinking of bullets personally. The Plasma used in X-COM is exotic and very destructive. And he needs Elerium for it which is a substance he can't find in Tamriel. But I am thinking of magic in some ways. Maybe he'll tie a ring with a light spell to it to act as a lasersight?
And oh yeah, when he finds it necessary to take out the big stuff. Let's just say that no castle wall can handle the mighty powers he wields.




Back on patrol, he devoted most of his time looking at the people. He began to see the need for all the heavy gear the guards used. While most people were unarmed and looked like simple citizens, there were also a few who openly paraded with clubs, bows, axes, swords and other stuff that could be quite lethal if properly wielded. In fact, some looked like they easily could go toe-to-toe with one of the guards.
,,Oh dear, I seriously doubt that all those weapons are just for show. I’d better start practicing with a sword before someone knocks my head off. Maybe I can get the captain so far that she’ll allow me to trade in this big lump of steel for something smaller and more manageable.” He forced a thin smile on his lips at that thought.
,,What did I get myself into?”

The captain put a hand on his shoulder and pointed at a dark-skinned human among the crowd.
,,See that bump under his clothes? Let’s see what you think of it, sir Dreyfus.” She spoke.
Gerard looked at the man she was pointing at.
,,Hmm, looks like a big grenade. I’d say, enough to blow you in two. Oops, wrong planet. Looks like a pointy object. Sorry, I’m not the expert on what people carry under their clothes around here.” He responded.
,,That bump has the exact shape of a Dwemer cog. Trading in Dwemer artefacts is illegal. I’ll go and interrogate him, see how he responds. You stay here and keep out of trouble.”

While the captain went to talk to the dark-skinned man, Gerard leaned back against a wall. His attention soon drifted to more interesting things.
,,Now you look like a dependable friend, Nord.” Gerard looked around to see who had spoke to him but didn’t saw anyone. He then looked down and saw what looked like a child. Except that this child had the features of an adult and weird pointy ears.
,,Oh my god.” Gerard muttered.
,,Elves, can things get any weirder?”

The little Bosmer had apparently seen Gerard’s words as a signal to continue.
,,You see, there is this bad man and I can’t get rid of him. Then I thought, why don’t I hire a strong adventurer to dispose of that man?”
Gerard, who already felt where this was going, interrupted the Elf.
,,No, I don’t rough up people for money. Well, I do but I don’t rough up people without a very good reason. I only rough up people who are ruining the planet. So why don’t you ask the guards?” He said as he looked down on the little man.

The Bosmer looked around agitatingly.
,,Are you crazy? There is no crime. I just don’t like it that he’s nosing into my business. I can’t tell the guards that!” He whispered. Gerard began to see the full picture.
,,In the name of the United Nations of Earth…..eh, nevermind. What I was trying to say is: You’re under arrest, punk! Put your hands where I can see them! You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can be used against you at court. You have the right to hire a lawyer. If you can’t afford one, you will receive one for free. Do they even have lawyers here?”

He stopped at the sound of a big yell.
,,European, get over here!”
He looked up and saw that the Redguard was running away, with the captain in pursuit. Gerard weighed his options. He could either continue arresting the little Elf in front of him for what was likely a simple crime or help chasing the sword-bearing man. He chose for the latter and ran off.
