It's a matter of focus: the main focus of the write-in is 'Do SCIENCE!'. Once you're doing SCIENCE! something like a civilian screaming in terror becomes a distraction from SCIENCE!
If the focus was JUST do science rather than do science and make this annoying peasant shut the fuck up so I can work then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I would really rather not push that kind of attitude onto Harmony when we don't need to. That kind of disdain for the rest of humanity would be a pretty massive personality shift, after all the girl we are saving might be pretty or popular and thus not someone we would look down on.
 
Guys, we are a weak Spark. And a gentelady adventurer. Our desire to do Science is not that overwhelming. Or shouldn't be.

Primary motivation is "to be a hero" from what I gather. So, let's act like that.
 
[X] Wait... was that a scream? Was there some helpless maiden in danger? Begone, little annoyances!

My, Miss Kendall, you've come a long way from 'Charlize Theron-only'. ;)

It takes but an instant. Nay, a fraction of an instance and your scanner is back in its contacted, while your trusty Zenith Aetheric Pulse Pistol has replaced it in your hand.

Even as you held it in a comfortable grip and gave a devil may care smile, easily worth a hundred Europa tokens straight from the mint, you could feel the rotary engine spinning up as electricity arced from the aetheric ionizers over the vitae chambers.

"Hold!" You loudly interrupted the growls and snarls from the little monsters who had slipped out of their disguises. "Or be prepared to taste hot stella ion pulses, for while the gods might forgive you. Know that I,
cooltext998666021.png
, am not as forgiving nor as merciful."

They care not for your words. It is with regret that you target them.

The sudden shriek from nearby, that pitch, that tone.... you know that frequency of distress. Why it was number forty five, the good old "I'm female, helpless and have no idea what's going on. But there are strange monsters around me. Someone help me!"

Instincts, that you've tried to correct and get rid of, kick in as you reflexively shot the monsters around you. Stunning shots, because you never know... and it's always best to slowly escalate events instead of going straight for the kill or vaporize options all the time. After all, that minion just shot could have been another hero trying to also save the day by infiltrating the fortress as a minion.

The pulses of incandescent bolts of electrostatic charges struck true and the little monsters collapsed to the road unconscious. Well, that was a relief... that they were still vulnerable to human level electrical disruptions of their neural pathways.

With a clatter of the compact heels of your boots impacting the ground, you dashed down the street and around the bend to behold a strange sight.

A maiden struck up upon a lamp post, but the sight that met your eyes was one of a vision of loveliness; a slender girlish figure of modest sizes and not that of overfed slatterns. Her face was oval and delicate as if crying out that it was a flower just ready to blossom. Her skin was the thing of interest to you, for it was the hue of henna. But the flow and complexion said that this was natural and not make, and if designed by a madboy, then he was talented beyond compare.

More of the little monsters were gathered at the bottom of said lamp post. Well, you were going to have to deal with this.

"Have no fear, mademoiselle. for
cooltext998666021.png
is here. Give me but a moment and we shall soon see you free of your tormentors."

A series of shots later, and the rather scantily clad alien was soon saved, and was gingerly climbing down the lamp post. You were being generous in calling her scantily clad given all she wore were tattoos and highly wrought ornaments, gold if you were to judge such. But save for the tattoos and ornaments, she was clad as naturally as she had been born.

Clearly, she was a savage barbarian from the hinterlands of the western continent, or perhaps from the dark depths of India. You've heard that the natives of that land tended to to have odd coloration even if they were wont to wear silk.

"Many thanks, daughter of earth. I fear I was quite lost when I was set upon by those rude beasts," She certainly did seem confused, still she dipped and bowed. "I am Willow, princess of the empire of Helium."

Sorry, but Alexander Harris doesn't have enough money to build THAT costume. Let alone buy it.

... Fine. But since we bought the last gun, he had to settle for a pair of Katana as weapons maybe?

I can't help but wonder which girl became the construct, but I figure if she is fast enough to escape the monsters she will probably be fine, whereas the shrieker probably won't be.

... Vin. Vin~! Mo cuishle! *manliest hug possible under the boob-ish circumstances*

[X] Plan Vin.
 
Wade is best Wilson.

Deadpan snarker levels have reached Singularity- Prepare for X Impact, and no I'm NOT Talking about the movie!

... Perhaps I shouldn't write things online after watching Tosh.0
 
How did you get Willow to go out in only bodypaint for clothing? I would have thought she would have fainted from just the thought.

On the other hand... Princess of Helium? Hell, this is Good. With big G. Immortality, scientific knowledge, ability to teleport interstellar distances with your mind.

[X] Talk with her and continue exploring the strange world you find yourself in with Princess Willow.
--[x]Get her a weapon. Ask her what she's familiar with and try to get her something like that. A sword maybe?

Seeing as Wolfram and Hart are deliberately gunning for Buffy I think we are probably better off heading to shrieking girls rather than a soldier that can take care of himself.
 
Dude, fuck Buffy. If Buffy dies, fate gets thrown out of joint and things can actually change. Everything Hymn has ever said about Naruto, only now, about this.

Yes, allowing Wolfram and Hart to complete their objective for the night will certainly allow things to change, but I rather doubt it will be a change for the better. Things will be changing no matter what, because the costumes have changed and I rather doubt all the characters are going to return to normal with nothing carrying over after the night ends. It would put a bit of a damper on the quest if we suddenly went back to regular Harmony after all.
 
...

Complete their objectives? My dear lads, it was already completed half an hour ago.
