Doctor Doom has posed:
Sibui, Translyvania. Just along the border between Transylvania and Latveria. Time: 7:00pm.

During a particular United Nations meeting involving an extra-terrestrial by the name of Nuala who took center stage. Though, after the meeting, Doom and this mysterious alien had a small chat, where she wasn't exactly the kindest to him.

Time for a reckoning.

Doom still had some samples of the fungus from when he pushed the Shrooms out of Latveria //by himself// with no help from the mysterious seller that he took for himself. Thus, knowing full well this traveler's mission was to find such things, he specifically planted it along the border, with the fungus more on Latveria than on Transylvania. Doom isn't too far away, dressed in his full armor and cloak, ready for battle. But he wants that ship.

Technology beyond that of earth? Doom is in.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    The Sea Song comes cutting in low, the engines humming quietly as Nuala sits examining the report, how many cups of coffee has she had? It's hard to say. The alert goes off, she is getting close.

    "I told him not to play with this. Why do terrans want to tempt doom? What was this ruler's name?" She scans the data. "Doom. How ironic." She gets up, and goes wearily into her Shell armor. It claps around her, and she steps out. She checks the system, then places the ship into auto park, twenty meters from the target.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doom waited.

Oh no, this was just a controlled experiment. Doom had used magic to quite literally //stop// the fungus from spreading, even once ith ad touched ground. It was alive, but barely. But even the traveler would know that even a barely-alive fungus was extremely dangerous. Doom just made it not dangerous. Thus, the ruler of Latveria waited...

and Waited.

Doom was patient.

He would wait for Nuala to exit her craft before he'd make his move.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    The first indication that Nuala's ship has arrived is her exiting. She steps out, her feet planting firmly on the ground. Routine. She needs routine. Taking a deep breath, she looks over the small fungus. Shouldn't take too much to put it out. She loads the toxin designed for the purpose, and walks toward the target.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doom then made his move.

Using his magic, he appeared through a portal a small ways behind Nuala, but he's silent, despite the armor. He moves to the ramp, as if not caring if there were any kind of alert system that would cause Nuala to become cautious or alerted.

Worse case scenario...he'd simply have to fight Nuala, which of course, he's very confident that he would find victory.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala loads the toxin, points at the target. As Doom steps onto the ship, however, the alarm goes off on her suit. She spins around, seeing Doom start to enter the ship. "What do you think you are doing?" she asks, her primary blasters raising toward him. "Get off the ramp."

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doom keeps moving up the ramp even when Nuala points her weapons at him. His eyes shifting to Nuala. "Investigating the armed craft you put on my soil. You truly must wish for hostile relations. If you fire upon me, then you will be in the future distrusted by the UN and considered an enemy for causing harm upon a world leader and member upon said United Nations."

What a play.

Doom then looks to Nuala. "If you strike me, I will have no choice but to defend myself."

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    "You are not entitled to trespass on the vehicle," Nuala answers. "I am not party to any Earth governments," she says. "You would be interfering with an intergalactic priority." She doesn't fire, but she doesn't lower her weapon. "This fungus is my only target, and I will be out of your province."

Doctor Doom has posed:
"Nor are you entitled to be on this planet, but here you are. I could, with full authority, since you are not a member of earth nor considered a member of the human race by this government, wipe you off the face of the map without a second thought, but here we are."

He makes a point.

"You are on Latverian soil. We do not take kindly to outsiders. You are lucky you are still alive. Count your stars, girl." Doom dismisses her, continuing up the ramp before he has a small glimpse of the inside of the actual ship. "Hmph. You would think alien technology would look and appear far different than human imagination."

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala's face can't be seen behind the visor. "That's actually not true," she answers. She isn't sure if it's true, but she decides simply to reject it. She gives a quick look back at the Oomycetan, and fires the toxic dart at it to accomplish her objective, then turns back and goes up the ramp. "Sea Song engage intruder protocol," she announces as she touches inside the airlock. The ship suddenly shuts down, going completely dark inside. The airlock snaps shut, and the ramp on the other side retracts.

    "You have made a hostile gesture, I'm not afraid to die to protect this planet, and allowing a hostile presence to possess this technology is dangerous to its people. You must achieve it on your own."

Doctor Doom has posed:
Then there is a silence after she apparently decides to shut down the vehicle.

"Well, that's disappointing." Doom says simply before he closes his eyes and starts to concentrate. Wait....what's that humming sound?

Nuala may be surprised to see that she ship was turning itself back on! Given, her protocol worked, but Doom was now rebooting the systems as it were. Plus, now he's defending himself, because in technicality, this could be seen as kidnapping now that she trapped the leader of a nation inside a space ship.

She really doesn't understand politics all that well does she?

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala sees the ship systems start to reassess. "Engage ship A.I." She gives the command, and hesitates, weapon still pointed. An electric prod arcs forward. It's not a lethal dose of electricity by far, but is instead is akin to the power of a tazer, perhaps slightly stronger, decided to knock a person unconscious.

    As the systems start to reboot, the ship A.I. seems next on the list of priorities. Timmy isn't easily overcome through hacking, and even the most advanced of human based systems would hold no hope of overcoming him.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Tazers? Really?

She thinks an electric blast with the charge of a //tazer// will harm Doom? The destroyer of Worlds? The Avengers have a difficult time with Doom. This is really nothing. Doom's armor doesn't need to activate it's force fields. It just...doesn't affect him. "Fine."

With a gesture of his hand, a portal opens inside of the ship and he appears //directly// behind Nuala.

"You forced my hand girl." and he tries to blast her in the back with the concussive repulsor blast from his palm.

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala did actually think that the shock would do the trick. She doesn't know who Doom is. She gets the alert along with Doom's voice, only to be struck from behind as the repulsor sends her forward, stumbling from the impact, and smashing her into the brace for her suit.
    She turns quickly, apparently it takes more than that to stop her suit, and she raises her arm. A sonic pulse pierces the air, a vibrating disorienting thing for most people. She doesn't know much about Doom, but she does know that he must have some mentally based abilities in order to force the ship systems to boot up, and she hopes to disrupt such an ability.

    Timmy comes online. "Timmy is online, Nuala, priority, you have an intruder-"
    "I know Timmy! Don't let him hack the system!"

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doom takes note of how much concussive force affects the suit as he keeps walking forward. Her sonic pulse not doing a great deal against Doom as he keeps walking towards her, eyes looking like he's going to finish the job.

If Nuala's suit had any energy reading patterns, she'd notice that Doom's suit had a energy field around him, a force field. It was blocking her sonic attack rather effectively as he lifted his hand as if to fire another concussive bolt....

Nuala Duvall has posed:
    Nuala's suit does in fact read energy patterns, and the force field tells her that this is not a light weight encounter.

    "Timmy, take the ship into orbit," she commands.
    "Of course, Nuala. Might I remind you that protocol-"
    "No you may not," she answers.
    The ship starts to move, though it is only mildly noticable. She watches the extended hand, and starts analyzing the force field for frequency and strength rather than blinding take another pot shot at it. After all, they are in her home, she doesn't want to wreck it if she doesn't have to.

Doctor Doom has posed:
Doom notices that the ship is about to go into Orbit, feeling the vibrations of the technology, his repulsor blast deactivates, and he looks at Nuala. "Stay. Off. Latverian. Soil." Doom warns her, and maybe perhaps this time she'll actually listen.

"Or next time, you won't live to tell the tale."

and in an instant, a portal opens up behind Doom, and he steps backwards through it.

Well...not the warmest welcome.

But perhaps now she knows to fear the name of Doom.
