- Wolverine has posed:
"BOOM!" metal crunches against what concrete. The rubble of concrete's scattered throughout multiple pathways. Buildings stand, but they're injured. All of them in various states of disrepair. It's not like a bomb went off, but several. And so structures stand, a whisper of what they were. The sky looks red with thick black heavy clouds thanks to smoke. All thanks to the cause of that deafening noise. It belongs to a purple clad metal boot that leads up to a magenta-colored leg. The start of a familiar sight for any X-Man. A sentinel.
Several other "BOOMS!" echo as two more land. Whoever put the training program on created a warzone. If the setting is at a medium, it may not be -as- insane of an idea. If it's at a harder, or even hardest setting, the controller is insane or preparing for really bad times.
"HALT MUTANT!" one sentinel cries out to a mutant teen running by. They're moving with fear laden across their face. Just a blonde girl that may not even be showing their powers, but that's the cruel thing about sentinels. Sometimes the sentinels can tell before their targets. They truly believe their human status. Sadly, a Sentinel is rarely wrong.
A metal tendril shoots out toward the mutant trying to wrap around a limb, restrain them and pull them forward. The other two move to round out others.
Everything is up to those in the simulation now.
- Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie was supposed to be part of this. He is standing watching as things change and the new location takes form. He scans the area from where he is standing on the remains of one of the buildings. He seems the girl, and instincts kick in. He might know it is not a real place, but saving people is what he does. So, with a step off the building, he is falling and then blasting, heading towards the girl to save her,
- Wolverine has posed:
Sam blasts off with a trail of energy and he manages to snag the girl. He'll feel the wind of the metal as the tendril lashes. The girl feels real to the touch, if he pays attention the faint smell of vanilla from her perfume could be taken in. Well, if someone blocks out the smell of burnt stone, wood and similar. "Thank you!" she calls out to Sam.
And those same instincts are why Sam has to be on his metaphorical toes. "HAULT MUTANT!" the metal robot calls out and the tendril starts to retract. They extend the other arm. A red energy starts to pulse at the end of the end. Preparing from a blast the flying mutant will need to keep an eye out for.
A different "HAULT!" mutant echoes and one of the other Sentinels starts to spark in different places, all freshly exposed. A mutant dressed in yellow and blue's climbs up the robot's body. That's when Sam will hear something on the communicator.
"What the Hell are ya doin' here?" it's Logan. There's a pause, "Did I cut into yer time?" he says while still climbing out.
The danger room can be reserved. A rule is to be respectful of the timeslots. Sometimes people go over and Logan tries to be mindful of that. Tries is the keyword.
- Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will look over as he sees Logan, and he starts to make a turn. The young man, is able to turn a lot more effective than he did as a kid. He will try to keep the one that is firing at him close enough as he flays across the path of another sentinel trying to get one of them to blast the other one. "Ah got a message to be here at this time for training." He says "Ah would show ya on my phone but a bit busy." To the girl he says "Ah'm going to set you down behind a wall in a minute, you need to find cover and keep your head down."
- Wolverine has posed:
Logan scowls at the news of Sam getting a text to show up. He wonders if Jubilee is behind it. Just a brief thought he kicks around briefly before focusing on the task at hand.
Sam handles those turns like a pro. The Sentinel taking aim at Sam. Several blasts go off. Miss. Miss. Miss. And then hit! Metal bites into the target, but not the intended one. Sam flies past the blasts and the Sentinel's so intent on shooting him, he misses the mutant's plan. So, the third sentinel suddenly takes several shots and goes down. A loud "CRASH!" echoes onward. A building bends under the weight before getting shattered. Now, there is only two. The one Logan works on and the other that's still trying to hit Sam.
"Nice work!" Logann grunts over the com.
- Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie does smile a bit knowing he got a compliment from Logan can be a rare things. He will kick it into overdrive flying through a few windows of buildings to get some distance, and then towards the ground to let the girl down to the ground. Once she is set down, he turns and heads back towards the fight. "Hey Tin pants, your mother was a snow blower." He has never been the best with come backs, quoting a movie, trying to make sure he keeps the sentinels reaction on him, not the girl he dropped off.
- Wolverine has posed:
And yes, the Sentinel that fired shots at Sam still keeps the aim on the flying mutant. It's a mutant -and- a threat. So, Sam has the attention for sure.
Logan keeps working on the other one. Before long the head pops off and falls. Logan rides the thing down before leaping onto a building. He breathes hard once making it to the nearest flat surface. Ocean blue eyes look to see what the other mutant in the room is doing. The elder mutant isn't about to end the simulation and steal the younger one's thunder. And so, a few eyes are on Sam now.
- Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie considers trying to fly through the sentinel, but he will see a better shot. He dodge and waves as best he can, and then goes near the ground. He starts flying around the things feet, but the real thing he is doing, is flying through supports of some buildings neat it, to bring the buildings down on it. He does take a hit, which will crash him through one of the other buildings, but luckily he is nigh-invulnerable. Sam slams through a few buildings as the ones he was hoping to drop on the sentniel start to fall.
- Wolverine has posed:
Those buildings go down with loud, "BOOM!" "CRASH!" "CRUNCH!" as building go down around the Sentinel's feet. Sam may even feel a little pain doing this, because those buildings feel real. However, the buildings come down, not only does it cause the Sentinel's foot to be tripped, the angle causes the leg and boot to disconnect. Metal groans before everything snaps. A loud, "G'DOOMMMMM!" echoes in the room as the sentinel is there on the ground trying to lift itself up. The thing is prone and ready for a Killshot. "Want to go in fer the end? Or ya satisfied knowin' ya beat it?" Logan asks Sam just letting pick it.
Regardless of choice, Logan will end the simulation after the decision. Standing there in his ripped uniform, he nods to Sam. "Good job. Beer?" Logan asks and he will pull out a cigar, "I'll buy," he offers. A good beer after a good workout sounds nice anyway.
- Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie will say "We got it unless you want me to toss ya at it." He offers, standing up and as the simulation stops, he is brushing himself off. "Sure, where ya want to go, want to hit Harry's or maybe head on into New York, made sure we got some of that canadian brand you like at Club Evolution on our last shipment. Took me a bit to find it but we got it now.
- Wolverine has posed:
Logan nods, "Computer. End Program," and the surrounding starts to change. The skyline turns metallica gray. Lights almost look like they're scanning all the objects, but it's the lights pulling back in reality. Before long everything looks to be absorbed out of existence until the pair are alone in a sterile metal room that looks rather boring and plain by comparison.
"Meet out in the garage in twenty or just head to Evo?" Logan asks. Sam can fly, so, traveling isn't an issue for him unless drinking is involved. The Canadian doesn't mind either way, he'll be content as long as a plan is in place.
Evo isn't his thing, but he suipports it. A pro-mutant place that has booze, what's not to like? Him and Lorna go there sometimes, or happen to find themselves mulling about.
- Cannonball has posed:
Samuel Guthrie nods, and says "Can meet you in the garage, Ah take my bike out if you plan on taking yours." He offers He then nods to the man, as he heads out to get showered and changed.
