    You decide to leave it alone, after all, Nik is being cooler about it then you are.

    The pilot gets on the intercom and announces that we are coming into SFO, but that it'll be turbulent because of chaos on the ground and visibility is low.

    Nik motions to you and pulls his beefy backpack out of the overhead bin. He sets it on his lap and you notice it just barely fits on his lap. He looks at you subtly and pats his hands on it 3 times like it is your savior.

    You are wondering what the heck he is planning now. He must know something you don't.

    The cheerleaders start talking trash to the other passengers, obviously leaving Big Hairy Tall GuyTM alone. The passengers are half scared, and some are verbally going to war with the fearleaders.

    One of the passengers calls one of them a very appropriate name for their outfit and speech. All of the fearleaders seem to shed their skins like reptiles, or Legos breaking off of a bigger model toy. Unbelievable...

    Their legs and arms have these sharp growths that just shred the seats in front of you.

    Nik gets up and walks back to the back of the plane to one of the emergency exits and taps you on the leg to come along in a hurry.

    The fearleaders animalistically attack the passengers and absolute insanity takes place. Here you thought being on the ground was bad. You all are landing in a not to wonderful place, and this plane just hates you.

    The plane starts leaning right and left as the blue horde is making their way to the pilot's cabin door. Nik removes the emergency door and makes you hold on as the air pressurizes. Luckily you all aren't too high up anymore, but the smoke is thick in spots in the air, making it hard to see far at all.

    The plane has started jarring itself like waves on the ocean, which can't be good as you continue to hear screams and what sounds like celery breaking. This plane may not land at all.

    Nik hands you earplugs and a small airmask/tank thingy, you put them in your ears and secure the mask and tank to your belt. He takes out 2 parachutes that seem kind small for the weight of one person and shows you how to put one of them on.

    "Get ready for a crazy ride. Can you swim?" says Nik. You nod yes. He tells you how to work the mask for air underwater, tell you how to dive feet first, and how to briefly use the parachute. You indicate to Nik that you're ready to jump when he tells you to.

    As you look down you see what seem like a TON of shark fins and jacuzzi sized jelly fish all over the bay deep red water! What in the world??

    A9) Let's do this! I better not land on a shark. Those jelly fish are probably squishy to land on though. This is not my day. This will have to be a movie someday, sheesh. b:cool

    A10) Are you out of your mind? The plane might land ok, or I can jump out when we are over some land and see what happens. I am not jumping into that water. b:shocked


    Please know that you all may get a few days to discuss this one on my days off before I can write some more. Choose wisely! Discuss! b:victory

    Hmmmm.....This one's a bit trickier. Are real damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Or maybe the term is a lose-lose situation. Either way. Both of them are real nasty. On the one hand, staying in the plane means dealing with killer mutant cheerleaders and an increasing chance of a potentially fatal plane crash. On the other hand, jumping out of the plane means landing in shark and jellyfish infested waters. Neither of these sound too terribly appealing to me right now. b:surrender

    But, weighing the options, I guess I'll go with A9, jump into the water. Nik seems like an intelligent guy, even if he seems like he's been partially zombified. He probably knows what he's doing, and may have something else in that bag of his to help ward of the aquatic dangers. Plus, sharks don't allways attack humans, if one holds very still after entering the water, they may just leave us alone (random facts from Mythbusters FTW!). The next problem is the jellies. Those could present a significant problem, since larger jellyfish are usually more dangerous. But, if we stay near the surface as much as possible, we may be able to avoid the worst of it, since it's the ends of jellyfish tentacles that pack the most punch. And, since we're using parachutes from a low drop, we'd probably only fall a few feet into the water, and these jellies will probably have several feet of tentacles trailing behind them. Hopefully more than we fall into the water anyway.

    A9, I rather take my chance with the sharks and oversized jellyfishes than wait for my gruesome death because of those fearleaders. They ARE making their way towards the pilot's cabin door. And although those doors are tough, they seem to be able to break in. And even if they don't make it in, they can still devour me. b:shocked

    A9.Freaky girls are not on my "Die-to"list...if i had one.I'd rather die to sharks and jellyfish.

    edit:I just hope the jellyfish are felly just humongous pieces of plastic and the shark fins are just cardboard.

    If Nik hasn't changed his mind...the A9 it is.

    Though to be honest, A10 sounds like a lot of fun if you're going to brawl the crazy blue things and toss them into the water before yourself.

    A11) What am I thinking? Do I pull the cord?

    A12) Oh! The water looks like I can land in it ok. Those jellyfish tops look like balloons!

    A11. Probably better to get a softer landing, so you can better deal with the critters in the water. Plus, jellyfish aren't exactly solid, no matter how big and how many there are.

    You guys have been doing good on feedback. I like the depth some of you go, and how you evaluate possible consequences. b:pleased

    Keep that up! It helps plot out the next disastrous choices! b:laugh

    Even if you land in water / on the jellyfish, the impact is still pretty much like a tight slap in your face...

    A11. Better be safe than sorry. I'm cautious about such things and well.. ITS A JELLY FISH! They have their tentacles which can sting you (and you can die). Especially if you land on a pack of them, they will assume you're a hostile element to their pack and go after you. Especially if you hurt them by landing on them, full force and all.

    A11 Even if I knew how deep the water is, I'd still like to be able to swim to the surface rather quickly. Plus, using the parachute gives me some control over where I'm actually landing.

    As you are descending you pull the cord to release the parachute, no luck. You struggle for 1 second, but it seems like an hour with the way that the cord isn't releasing.

    All of a sudden you see this giant shadow above you coming toward you fast. You think to yourself that this is indeed the end. After all, you have already lived through some pretty crazy stuff so far today.

    You feel something rush past you and you are suddenly jerked upwards as the parachute deploys slowing your dive into the water enough where maybe it won't hurt so much.

    Thankful and scared out of your mind, you see it was the big hairy dude that was in the plane that had dived out of the crashing plane to save you right into the middle of some sharks and jellyfish!

    You get out of the chute gear right before you impact the water to minimize the chance of getting tangled up in it and drowning. You drop into the ocean and start swimming toward the messed up docks.

    You hear a loud commotion behind you as you assume the worst for giant guy with all of the splashing and smashing sounds going on.

    You see some of the jelly fish gliding toward you, and you barely make it up the dock ladder out of the ocean as a legion of giant jellyfish seem to be hanging out hoping for you to trip back in.

    You look out to see the commotion getting bigger and bigger when you see the giant guy standing on two sharks like skis! What in the world? How is he controlling them? Then it becomes clear that he has used jellyfish parts to harness the sharks on where to go!

    Brilliant! But insane!

    As you see the plane getting lower and lower, you see Nik plop into the water and you see hundreds of shark fins and jellyfish surrounding him like a shrinking balloon quickly losing air.

    He is surely done for. As hairy giant guy is skiing on sharks getting closer to the docks a large vacuum of air seems to opens up with an electrical charge as this bubble of lightning and water just space gaps the ocean water surrounding the air making a charcoal shark and jellyfish BBQ as they disintegrate into dust and steam.

    You look over and see that the giant had also been pulling Nik behind him right as the explosion went off.

    Your jaw is on the ground as you simply can not believe what you have just witnessed.
    Nik gets pulled up on the dock, and the giant hairy guy says "Hi, I'm Lokfoot. Are you guys ok?"

    You and Nik both nod in agreement that all is well. You ask Nik, what the heck did you use?

    "My universal resonant frequency transposition device." Nik says matter-of-factly.

    Just as Nik, Lokfoot, and you are getting ready to discuss what to do next, you all see a flash of light off in the distance to the south and you all cover your eyes. When the light has subsided somewhat you all can see that a nuke has just gone off that seems to reach to the heaven's directly.

    You all are still alive, so it must be really big, and really far away. When the shockwave gets to you, you might likely become a microwave snack. Maybe that is how the government is dealing with the zombies, by nuking the major metro areas. It wasn't San Jose or San Francisco... maybe it was Los Angeles?

    All three of you start running toward a deserted ambulance when Nik tells you all to stop. "There is no way we can drive fast enough to get away from it, we have seconds before we are toast, extra crispy dust."

    Nik pulls out another Tesla toy and activates it. An electrical wavy wall is emitted from it, and it starts creating a wind tunnel effect. Nik tells both of you to walk into it so you all can get out of here.

    This has got to be a record for the number of stunts a person can get away with in a day and live. Time to live... what to do?


    A13) What is this floating wall? What does it do? Should I walk into it? This isn't going to end well...

    A14) The ambulance should be shielded enough to protect us from the far distance flash until we can get further away and into an underground structure hopefully. There is no way I'm hopping into one of Nik's BBQ makers.

    (sorry about the delay in story progression, I have been out of the office for awhile. I'm back now)

    I waited for days...! Welcome back! b:pleased Hope it went well on your end.

    A13) Get into that thing. If the wave is so damn powerful, I think the ambulance is going down anyway. I think I'd go with supernatural stuff than a sure way ticket to hell.

    Is it just me or Lokfoot used Roar on the mobs?

    A13. If Nik was able to survive the drop into sharks and jellyfish with his "universal resonant frequency transposition device," I would trust that he knows what he's doing with his electrical wavy wall. He's been right so far and kept me alive, what's the chance that he'd be wrong now?
    I call it how I see it.

    Gotta go with A13 on this one as well. I somehow don't think that a normal ambulance would be able to shield anything from a nuclear shockwave. And hey, you've gotten this far trusting Nik, why stop now? Besides, it might be fun.

    As you and Lokfoot go through the portal, Nik follows and you all watch in horror as the land, ocean, and surroundings are being blasted as the shockwave approaches.

    Nik closes the portal quickly with some debris being thrown through the portal.

    Not paying attention to where you all had "walked into" via Nik's toy, you realize that you all are on what appears to be the same plane you jumped out of not too long ago. Except this time, there aren't replicas of you, Nik and Lokfoot on the plane.

    The blue cheerleaders get freaked out and start talking among themselves in a reptilian like manner. The rest of the plane is empty somehow.

    The pilot gets on the intercom and asks whether they should land in Denver or Dallas.

    You notice the fearleaders are prepping to transform like they did before. Nik hands you and Lokfoot what looks like some kind of weapon.

    Well, this just keeps getting weirder, where should we go this time?

    A15) Let's try the high and wide city of Denver. Maybe the zombies don't like high altitudes and the cold as much.

    A16) There's nothing like a Texas BBQ, let's see what kind of zombie action we have going on there.
