Second Heist - With New Villain GLaDOS

Here it is.

[Billy has made a new 'ally.' A robotic villainous ally by the name of GLaDOS. For the past quarter of an hour or so, dorky, slouchy Billy has traversed the plane with several strange sights in tow. First, there is his bulging duffel bag slung over his shoulder. If one looks closely enough, it appears to be moving and clanging around of its own accord. Next, there is his bulging sweatshirt pocket. Who knows what he stuffs in those bottomless depths?

And finally, most strange of all is the round robot trailing behind him. He's carrying on a hushed conversation with the bot, and for all intents and purposes he looks like he's mumbling to himself.

The strange duo's journey ended in front of a plain jane building, nothing remarkable about it. Except for the fact that there is little surrounding it. Perhaps the Japanese bus station a little ways away, or the Astral Bar beyond that. But otherwise? Fairly unremarkable and unmemorable.

Billy glances around the plane self-consciously, fumbles with a set of keys in his pocket and unlocks the front door. Oh his way inside with the bot, he asks,]

So what kind of testing are you looking to do?

[And the door drifts mostly shut behind them, follows by a loud crash and some more metallic clangs.]

((OOC: GLaDOS and Billy are bonding over Evil, World Domination, Technology and Cake. Also, Billy is adding the finishing touches to his Plane Lab in this lovely inconspicuous building. You may not fully catch what they're discussing, but please feel free to bestow them with gratuitous interruptions. For the lol, of course.))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The traveling bot's eye flicks up, down, and to both sides, investigating thoroughly the lab. It is, in fact, impressed.]

Oh, the usual. Kidnap victims. Give them heel surgery and a gun. Promise cake. Then release them into a series of test chambers which they can only get through by using the gun. I have tested things like the effects of prolonged button-exposure, giving inanimate objects living attributes, and a lot of momentum. I find momentum very interesting. Particularly when the subject is in danger of dying. That gives it that extra level of tension, you know?

So. What have we got here?

Heel... ? [Billy supposes it's part of the trials the robot enjoys so much. Well, at the very least, those test runs must have some interesting data on the nature of humanity. The Dr. Horrible inside of him figures it's bleak.]

Nothing much in this room.

[It's true, by Billy's standards. After passing through the plain 'dummy' room at the front of the building, he revealed his labs hidden behind a hollow wall. A flick of a switch on his Horrible Remote controlled access to his secrets.

Where they stand currently is in his kitchen. Of course, it is far from a normal kitchen. Wires run up and down the walls, the pots and pans hang from hooks on the wall, and beakers of various sizes clutter the counters.]

But... [He extends his index finger with a crooked grin] Behold.

[And he opens the door to the very back room, revealing cluttered laboratory space. There's the whiteboard doused in shadow in the back, his favorite Giant-Sized Armchair beside that. A globe of the world sits beside the white board, and he's scratched out the old names of the continents and replaced them with his own proposed renaming - like Australia becoming HORRIBLE WASTELAND. There's also a dart board with a faded photo pasted into the middle, and a clothing rack with his red and black ensemble and fashionable goggles in a corner of the room. the side wall is full of backlit shelving with various chemical compounds, tools, and evil-devices-in-progress. The final wall contains a cork board with newspaper clippings of... well, himself, starting with the faded headline, CAPTAIN HAMMER CONFRONTS NEW VILLAIN: DOCTOR HORRIBLE at the bottom.

The table in the middle of the room contains his ray guns, wrist-attachments and horrible remote control devices, all lined up in a row.]

[GLaDOS is... pleased, to say the least. This is VERY impressive. The core spends a minute whirring around the room, eventually settling on the globe and spinning it. It is a machine eye. That means it is VERY good at staring.]

...what is this.

Is that --

[Really the most interesting thing you can see, is what he meant. Of all the things in his lab, she settles on the globe? Really? He, on the other hand, strides over to his white board and picks up a red dry erase marker.]

The world. Mapped on a ball. It's a globe of the Earth.

You haven't seen one before?

It... but... it is a ball. With lots of colors and names. Not the Earth. The Earth has few names and fewer colors. It... I...

Never mind.

[But Yes! There are interesting things! Now it's just gonna rooooll over to the various chemical compounds etc and set up a security camera next to them so GLaDOS can stare at them WHILE talking to Billy. Because they are just that cool.]

I am impressed by your collection of toxic chemicals. Actually, I have needed a refill for my deadly neurotoxin tanks, so... very handy. But come. There is a Plane to conquer. What do all these weapons do?

[mutters] That's something I could definitely do-- What, these? [Billy stuffs the dry-erase marker in his pocket and approaches the table. Carefully, he picks up one of the largest of rays to show GLaDOS.]

This is my Freeze Ray. [He pats the barrel.] --But not in an ice beam sense. It stops time for whatever you hit with it. [He gingerly sets the ray back down, his fingers lingering near the trigger for awhile. There are a lot of memories - mostly bad ones - associated with that ray. He moves on, going through the rest with a little more brevity.] This is my trans-matter ray. It's, uh, supposed to transport objects from one side of the city to my lab. [It mostly works, okay?!] Here are some remote-control overrides for vehicles and electronic bank vaults. There's your standard wrist-fit rays. That's a muscle-weakening ray, and this chemical's a formula to give you super strength but I'm still trying to work out the side effects. And here--

[Billy taps a finger on his newest creation, set on his workbench with the front panel flipped open.] Is my Instant Trans-Dimensional Teleport Ray.
