Seafoam ignored the Shrub in favor of the irritatingly evasive electrical virus. Fortunately, her netop wasn't sitting idle, having picked a chip to follow up with, "Cannon, battlechip in."

"Thanks Carol." Even as she responded, the netnavi was raising the cannon to point at the dangerously high voltage rabbit. Leaping sideways to throw off any more incoming projectiles and dropping to one knee, Seafoam pressed her thumb to the touchhole. The roar of gunpowder as the cannon went off in a cloud of smoke was invigorating, but Seafoam was already moving again.

Circling the remaining Shrubby and its cover so that she had a clear shot at it, Seafoam threw a harpoon at the cowering virus.

The netnavi wasn't finished. A stomp sent a wave of blue outward from her foot as the terrain was converted to water. A moment passed, and the aqua-element navi disappeared beneath the water.

((I think that I'll go more for combat than roleplay here.))

"...The profile brief mentioned scouting and viral containment. I should be able to handle myself well enough for either task, but containment sounds more interesting at the moment." Delta chose to remain standing; after all, it seemed that he was about to have work to do.

Continuing on the subject of containment, "Any sign that the viruses are part of a coordinated effort?" Delta doubted that this was the case if the containment work was centered on an operating resort, but it was possible. Either way, Delta had no problems helping to get and keep the situation under control.

((Mods call on whether this is coordinated, whether Prose thinks that this is coordinated, and what exactly attackers would be trying to do.))

Seafoam turned, tucking away the map into storage as she did so. Almost lazily, she swung one of her arms, forward, sending a wave rushing across the panels towards the virus that had fired at her. "Carol, send me a ShockWave and a Shotgun." Though Seafoam was speaking calmly, it was clear that Bunny's attack had put a rest to any attempts at resolving things peacefully.

"Chips sent."

Readjusting her aim, Seafoam thrust out her other hand in a palm strike towards the panel in front of her. The results were immediate, a shockwave appearing on the panel and blasting forward towards one of the viruses taking cover behind a shrub. The other such virus was no luckier: the blunderbuss that had appeared in Seafoam's hands after she unleashed the shockwave was discharged towards it.

For the moment, Seafoam focused on moving to avoid any retaliatory attacks. Mostly, this consisted of being ready to sidestep incoming projectiles before they reached her.

Jogging to the meeting co-ordinates, Delta spotted the resort long before he reached it. As he entered the resort proper he couldn't help but note that things seemed quiet to himself. Coming to a stop just outside a cafe, Delta looked around. And then, as if not believing what he was seeing, looked around again. "Uh...Henry, this is supposed to be a resort, right?"

"I believe so, why?"

"This place is empty. Is it closed or something?" Delta happened to turn as he spoke, looking into the cafe for the first time, "Correction, there is one navi here. Might be our contact."

Delta stepped into the cafe, speaking up to catch the other navi's attention as he did so, "Hello?"

((Contacting unknown navi))

New signature attack:
Wave Bolt - 60 Null Shot + Phasing, 2 Turn Cool Down (80 pts)

Delta fires a specialized bolt that phases through obstacles to strike a target.

((From Navi Shop))

Henry set the packages down on his kitchen counter, having just returned from the navi shop at scilabs, "Alright...I'm going to save two of the process upgrades for use with the Support Program...but I want to start configuring before we start the mission. Any ideas?"

-----

A little while later, the pair was ready to head for their mission in Beach net. With the PET already connected Delta headed into the network.

((Jack in to Beach Net: Private Resort))

((That would be correct. sorry for the confusion.))
((4950z -> 750z))

"Thank you!" Henry collected the packages, then strode out the shop door.

((To Apartment))

Seafoam smiled as she took the map, "Thank you!" Opening it up, the netnavi started the process of figuring out where on the map she was.
((Take map, and attempt to place where Seafoam is on it.))
((Ready for battle 2))

((From apartment))
Henry pushed open the shop's door and walked up to the counter. After a few moments to consider his options, he spoke, "One HPMemory, and four process expansions please."

((HPMemory #5: 2000z))
((Process upgrades 5-8: 2200z))
((4200z total))

((Jack out from: Bounty Shop))

Henry disconnected his PET from the computer, then headed out.

((To Navi Shop))

"Why, so you do." Delta chuckled, his form beginning to glow as he jacked out.

((Jack out to Electown: Apartment))

((New bounty: Starfish))
Delta couldn't help but be curious about the prog's situation as he collected the reward, "What happened to your lasso?"

This is acceptable. Thank you for the assistance.
-Delta.exe

"I should have specified...but you would be correct. I'll take the chip data for the reward, and as for the new bounty..." Delta trailed off, examining the list of targets.

After a few moments, Delta came to a conclusion, "I'll take on the Starfish, then."

((From: Network Hike via Internet City))

Delta returned to the stall, "Turning in the bounty for ten Skeeters. Can I also get another bounty while I'm here?"

Delta.exe here. I was told that this was the place to request a Support Program core?

-Delta.exe

((Not gonna lie, I tried double-checking in the Rules Section, but I was mostly going with my experience with IronBody viruses in the games. And yeah, this was as much a gamble that I lost as anything else. So no, nothing on the site specifically. In any case, I'm going to say that Delta made a similar mistake - one that won't be made again.))

Looking around in the silence of the forest after the battle, Delta took a moment to stretch, before collecting the spoils of war from where they lay.

((Skeeter Bounty: 5 -> 10))

As he was examining the bounty of data that he had collected, Henry spoke up, "Delta, do you mind cutting this short?"

"You should be able to see that I'm still good to go Henry."

"It's not that. I was doing some research into the bugfrags that you've been collecting, and there's actually something that we can do with them. We'll need to take on a mission from GNA first though."

Delta pondered his netop's words before replying, "Alright...why don't you explain while I'm running around for these errands?"

"I'll do you one better: we have enough zenny that we could grab an upgrade or chip before setting out."

Delta nodded, turning to head toward the Okuden net's exit to NetFrica, then he paused. "Actually, we should probably detour through internet city. If it involves a mission, we can post the request on the BBS, THEN visit the various shops, and any response should be waiting when we get back." With that said, the navi instead set off for the connection to Internet City.

((Leaving Okuden for Internet City, then heading to the Bounty Shop: Delta.exe Bounties))
((Yeah, I've decided to grab a support program on this character.))

Seafoam collected the reward data, examing it, "Just Zenny this time..." she said. A moment later, the netnavi turned and started towards the exit from the cave, aiming to see what ACDC network looked like outside.

((2220z -> 2670z))
((Exit the cave))
