SCARY TOWER SIEGE #2
Who: Downtown LA Rescuers/Captives
Where: That tower that just hatched from that office building.
When: Saturday March 15th, around 6PM for when they appear.
What: A creepy looking tower hatches out of a downtown office building and superheroes come to fight it and save its captives.
Warnings: Violence, body horror, mind control, fucking creepy bullshit.
A spiral tower looms ahead, the rubble of its shattered camouflage still littering the ground. Civilians panic, the streets crowding with an unexpected traffic jam. Cyborgs flood the streets, and defensive fire opens from above.
Eventually, you break into the inside of a vast tower, like a tall layered cylinder of steel and black metal. You can see a seemingly endless height above you, and an endless depth below. Each layer is lit by a ring of multi-hued light that seems to bleed into the black material below it, like veins into flesh. A circle is cut through each layer from the tower's top to bottom, and occasionally a vast black form will rise and fall between layers - a mass of black metal with lights like eyes and grasping mechanical hands. Sometimes it takes captives with it.
Cages line the exterior walls like an arena, with other restraints set up on the layered floors outside. There is a tone of clinical order and structure without, though the black metal leaks a substance almost like the sweat of an animal. Cages open and close themselves, and smaller machines and familiar looking cyborgs wander the floors. Entire cage sections can be removed mechanically and taken to lower levels. Muffled voices and the animal cries of captured strays can be heard around the shaft, as well as the rhythmic hum of vast machinery down below.
There is no natural light here, and the tower's shaft travels far beneath the earth.
[OOC: There will be specific mod NPC posts made within each rescue log for dealing with the central hub of the AI. Remember, if you want to fight one of the Nightforce, ask a mod.]

When they reach Neku's location, he blasts a few of the monsters with his EMP gun before they can detect them, the hapless creatures collapsing to the floor when their cyborg limbs short out. They're still entirely too strong and too fast for him to handle alone, but this time he came equipped; funny how much easier it is to defeat those things when you can just EMP them into submission and team up with someone who can punch holes into walls.
Of course, this small victory pales in comparison to the exhilaration he feels when he notices who they're rescuing.
"It's you!" he exclaims, voice somehow louder than the chaos of whirring metal and animal cries. He definitely sounds relieved.

"Neku!" she cries, swooping and diving down like a bullet cutting through the air, rocketing straight for him. She's incredibly relieved to see him, but there's no time to relax yet, not when he's being swarmed by these things. Even with his recent practice with his powers and what he's showing for it, it's not enough for him to fend for himself. Milly comes in like a wrecking ball, slamming bodily into one of the larger cyborgs. "Hey! You leave him alone!!"

Milly picks up one cyborg and hurls it at the one threatening Eusine, knocking them both into malfunction territory with one hit. She pumps her fist victoriously. "All right! Not too shabby, if I do say so myself... Neku! Are you hurt at all?"
