Plink's face brightened up as soon as Bullet mentioned Dr. Who. "Heard of it? I like that show!" He exclaimed, then Alice landed. "Hi, what's this I hear about Dr. Who?"
Bullet was ecstatic about meeting some other (hopefully) whovians.
"There's a marathon on the telly right now!" Bullet said with glee. "Am I sensing a Doctor Who party-thing coming on?"

"There's a marathon on the telly right now!" Bullet said with glee. "Am I sensing a Doctor Who party-thing coming on?"
"Sounds good!" Plink said. "Sure! I could do that." Alice said.

"FANTASTIC!" Bullet responded. "Welcome in, make yourselves at home. The 'Rise of the Cybermen' is on right now."
Bullet motioned in his guests and closed the door behind. "Viktor, we have some friends joining us tonight!" He led them into the rec-room where the sofa and several comfy chairs were arranged around a flat-screen HDTV and Dolby Digital 15.767382 surround sound system, a stark contrast to the 50s era television and phonograph on the other side of the room.
"Shall we begin?" ((If you can't tell, I don't know much about Dolby, but their 5.1 system sounds ridiculous to me... I'm no audio-machine expert, but what Is the .1 even there for?))

((Not sure and im a bit of an audio tech guy [being a composer and having done theater sound before]. EDIT: According to my research, the "point one" refers to the low frequency channel [subwoofers]. Also haven't seen the rise of cyberman yet.)).
"Shall we begin?" Bullet said after leading them inside.
"Sure! By all means." Plink said.

((No way! I'k a musician/composer too!! I actually have a fiend/brother-figure's pretty good studio next to my room, but I haven't done much withaaudio tech other than audacity and garageband (meanwhile, I have thousand dollar equipment at my disposal for free. I myself have not seen a lot of the show yet, first saw it in September but didn't become a true whovian until last weekend.))
Okay, I'll go get some snacks!" Bullet went into the kitchen.
Viktor greeted the guests. "Hey, Plink, Alice. Not sure if you've seen this one, it's a two parter with the tenth Doctor."
Bullet came back in with a try of human and robot refreshments. "Okay let's begin!" He declared as he sat down while the episode started.
((Had to stop sooner than I wanted cuz my phone'saabout to die .. be back on when I'm home.))

((Really? Also use garageband! Been looking for better software though. Predominately in the symphony orchestra field. Mainly I've just done some audiowork for a school play. Also helped put away the audio equipment for our church sound equipment a couple of times. But i really only have a couple of computers as audio equipment at home. Yeah. I've only watched them sporadically here and there with help from a friend of mine [since we don't actually have satellite or cable anymore]. Whether i'm a true whovian or not I can't tell. I do like the show a lot after all.))
Viktor greeted the guests. "Hey, Plink, Alice. Not sure if you've seen this one, it's a two parter with the tenth Doctor."
Plink and Alice looked at each other quickly before turning back to viktor. "No. Haven't seen it." They said simultaneously.
"Okay let's begin!" Bullet said after sitting down.

((Yeah, the studio has Protools, Cubase, a nice mic, audio interface, etc, etc. The best part is, I just found out when I got home that's he's MOVING OUT! Just great, huh? Well, he said I could still go to his place, but it's still gonna be lonely now since my sister's not coming home from WSU this summer... Anyway, I was using this DW thing to pass the time till the plot develops.. but it kinda seems to be the 'Plink N' Bullet hour' right now like what happened in the last one... Sorry, gotta go again...)

((Yes... that it does...
I'm here now to post a declaration: I am terrified for the future here.... From what I've seen tonight, I think it's only a matter of time before some serious [censcored] starts going down... In the meantime, I have to go now. PS I have another orchestra trip this weekened, so I'll probably get only one or two posts in tomorrow. I'll be back Saturday evening.))

((Oops...))
Plink watched the show. Of course, Alice was leaning forwards...practically enthralled.
Plink would enjoy the show but for some reason he was still troubled by the fact that there was a false alarm signaled to send every employee running to work this late at night.

Bermuda Triangle, 0100...
Just like Kane said, outside from the Death Rim, lots of ships with different flags, all from the developed. On the board, Kane ordered:
-Activating anti-sonar field!
-Activating,-One crew member replied while pulling up the lever. The Nautilus 2.0 dived deep down to below, so the chance of being detected like finding a needle in the sand. Remembering something, Koith asked:
-Wait, we're now at the bottom of the ocean, how can we get the air?
Kane smirked:
-The ship got an automatic air generator! Even under thousands of feet, we're still "breath" good with enough air. In the case of damages during combat, thousands of pods will be released up to the surface, collecting many air as possible and return to us!
-So, this better than any other submarines in the world, right?-Marie said.
-This is why I called it Nautilus 2.0!-Kane nodded, then ordered the crew-We stop here, initiate base establishment!
-Roger,-The crew replied, then the submarine stopped. From the lower platform, groups of crew members get into the water with their devices.
-Looks like you wanna make a long stand here, right?-Koith asked while seeing the scene.

((OOC: I'll make a double jump since this is the essential part,))
From the time, while the base establishment progressing, Koith watches into the TV at the main hall, at least the satellites worked well. On many news channels, the name Atlantis captured the first with debates between scientists about the myths, theories and evidences that led fleets of ships into the most deadliest water in the world. Let them keep arguing, the soldier takes a look outside, on his feet.
Landing on the bottom of the ocean, Koith sees a base steadily rising with a remarkable rate. The welders worked well even in the water. Seeing the soldier, one engineer saluted:
-Kommandeur!
Koith saluted back with a nod, then keep going on. Seeing Marie was talking with an engineer, the soldier salutes with a talk:
-How's the progress?
Giving Koith the panel, she replies:
-We reached 65 percent of the construction! 45 minutes left and we're ready,
-Did someone spot us?-Koith continues while seeing the blueprint on the panel.
-Negative, sir!-The engineer replied-The respect of this feared water got the legs of those outsiders stayed on their ships!
-Gut,-Koith nodded, then gone around for checkup...
...
Main hall,
Kane was reading books quietly, and Koith's presence "disturbed" him. Sitting on the chair face to face, the blue soldier said:
-I want to ask you something?
-Go on,-Kane replied while closing the book and greet his brother.
-What's the true purpose of that underwater base? I don't think its purposes is only for the research.
-Why did you think that, Kommandeur?-Kane risen his eyebrow.
-I'd got a look into the blueprint!-Koith replied-Some structures looks like more similar to barracks than research labs, and their percentage is one-on-one with the true labs. Tell me, Kane!-Then he lowered his eyes-What will you do next after getting those techs?
-Patience, bruder!-Kane smirked-Like what I said before, time will decide. Yet, the time hasn't come now!
-And how long will I must wait?-Koith sees into his brother's eyes with the suspicious ones.
-Not so long after these things,-Kane replied, then returned the books into its shelves and leaving the hall with Koith behind. Taking the books that his brother returned, they looked tattered, must be ancient. Wait...these are...Leonardo da Vinci's blueprints of his inventions. Why the hell Kane's reading this? This...can't be...nein...Do they, related to Atlantis, too? Maybe, due to in Leonardo's age, no one could ever imagined about these technologies. That old man used to be a master of codex deciphering, if only he got an evidence about Atlantis, then...
Ah hell! Koith facepalmed himself. The knowledge of the oldies was far beyond the recent. At the last page, which in the worst situation, the soldier saw a thing called...Time...Machine...? That had never been shown as the heritage of Leonardo, must be his top-secrets. Damm, if anything in Koith's mind was right, he knows why Kane must double-timing the research. Those things are...too dangerous, just as the black soldier said...

It was much later now, about 3 or so partly due to daylight savings. Viktor had silently fallen asleep sometime before, he wasn't usually much of a night owl. An episode of Doctor Who called 'Blink' was on. Although it was a great episode, Bullet couldn't keep his mind of recent happenings.
That whole war, it was so pointless. All those people that had to die, all for what? I've been thinking more and more about my existance, and I can't help but wonder why Florence made me, and why did she disable the Laws she believed in so much? I look at what has happened since I got here, and I feel next to nothing. I mean, I feel "emotions," but when I saw the destruction, nothing was there... Yet it seems like I was here for a reason. Does her disappearace have more meaning to it than I previously thought? Why am I thinking about all this now?
Suddenly, Bullet sensed Viktor silently jerk awake. Bullet looked back to his friend who was sitting in his own armchair. Bullet saw an expression on Viktor's face that he had never seen before. It was so desperate, so lonely, so scared, yet there was something determined in it. They met eyes, but Viktor shook his head, so Bullet turned back to the telly. How can I know those feelings? I'm just a robot anyway...
------ Screaming. People screaming. Millions of innocent people screaming. They're killing each other. That's what this world is about. War, War, War! So f**ked up! The city's on fire, the rest of the world is too. Where are my friends? Are my friends alive? There they are! There's Bullet! He's with everyone else, everyone is ignorant of what's going on. Blissfully ignorant. I need to tell them, warn them. Why can't I get through to them? Wait, there's one missing. Who? I can't remember. Maybe they're safe. Maybe they're trying to stop the war, stop us from killing ourselves. Why can't I call to them? My mouth is sealed shut! I can't move. Completely bound. Arms, legs, everything. I'm helpless... Who did this?
Behind me? A shadow? Oh, God!
Viktor awoke with a start, but not loudly. It was like he was screaming, but only an inaudible squeal could he heard, only to himself. He saw Bullet looking at him with concern. Viktor shok his head, signaling to ignore it. He would talk when they were alone.
These dreams, when will they stop? When will I stop sitting idly by?
He didn't want to go back to sleep, but exhaustion eventually took him.
