* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080114.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.3.15
<DeathStar> Location: Arhnya Residence
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone, upon waking up, would find a hand written note by Erevis, placed there sometime in the night, to come into the library.
* Angela only feels minorly creeped out by Ninja Erevis in her room, and heads to the library.
* Megumi finds the note in Erevis' own lap, then.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wakes up, yawning a bit as he stretches in the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* He reaches over to feel for Ariel, and comes up with a note instead. He stares at it blankly.
* Chad`Winters pulls a shirt of his tact suit top and moves out of his room, shutting the door. He moves towards the library
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in the library, her eyes closed, as if she were asleep. She looks like she's lost weight, looking underweight like she did before the time travel incident in the S14 TAW4 priemere.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up, pulling on a shirt and pants. He moves for the library.
* Drasek` steps into the library, having woken up much earlier. He tilts his head at Erevis and Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into Drasek's back. "Ow."
* Angela eyes her, "I told you to eat..."
* Drasek` glances. "Oh sorry, luv."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *Rubs her nose furiously*
* Ariel steps into the library, her hair still damp from the shower, wondering why meetings like this were set first thing in the morning.
<Drasek`> Think you got something on your shirt there. *he points to Zephyr's shirt*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes at the commotion.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, right. I wasn't born yesterday.
<Drasek`> Fair enough. *he shrugs, glancing back to Erevis* Morning, Revi.
* Chad`Winters steps into the library. He moves over and leans against a table.
* Megumi dozes in Erevis' lap. Her pigmentation is completely off, looking an off-beat shade of violet-touched grey, with many stewn lines of bright throughout in seemingly fractal-like curves. Probably why she was sneaking around lately.
* Myria twitches in bed...having been out cold for the last four days.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in next, stretching. He stares at Megumi. "Dude, she's dead."
* Angela sighs and sits by her, "We need to get food in you..."
<Chad`Winters> We should probably call a Hazmat team to quarantine her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers down at Megumi, running a hand along her hair.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Best to burn the body.
<Megumi> ...My body is already burned. This is the effect of Redshift.
<Drasek`> Someone give me a match.
<Chad`Winters> And if that releases a toxic fume?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wait, Redshift? So you do have a toxic disease?
<Drasek`> *Theron nudges Myria. "Miss Erevis, is waiting on us in the library."
<Angela> "She's fine..."
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> *just twitches*
* Megumi hrmphs at Darien. 1"Think of it like cancer to you humans. It is serious, but not contagious. My body is reacting to the copious increase in ultraviolet radiation. Hence, redshift sickness."
<Drasek`> *Theron frowns and moves for the library. "I will return."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... *makes a hand over his head motion*
<Angela> "In other words we're safe."
<Ariel> "...are you going to be alright?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chad, you're the smart one. Translate.
<Chad`Winters> Apparently a different color sun is poisonous to her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So she's Superman.
<Angela> "Or Superkitty."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps stroking Megumi's hair, not speaking yet.
<Megumi> I am disappointed Mister Winters. The colour has little to do with it aside from the amount of ultraviolet.
<Drasek`> Bloke was allergic to a rock. *he snorts*
<Chad`Winters> If you take away being strong, impervious to bullets, a role model, etc. etc. et.c
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr kneels beside Megumi, frowning as she stares at Megumi. "Will you be okay?"
<Drasek`> *Theron finally steps in the library. "Sorry for making you wait, Miss Erevis."
<Megumi> ...For someone of your level, Mister Starr. Severe allergies.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oooo. Nasty.
* Angela giggles a little.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll be sure to let someone of your social level know how to say things nicely.
<Megumi> Thank you.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly to Zephyr, pausing. 1"...In time."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts the back of her hand to Megumi's forehead.
* Angela watches quietly.
* Megumi opens her eyes slightly, slowly focusing. Hey, at least she's not blind now. Feverish for sure. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head to Theron, still running her hand along Megumi's silver hair. "I have located the planet we must go to in order to follow up on the Progenitor relic.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, she's offically sick. We should probably leave her here.
<Drasek`> Brilliant. Where is it?
<Angela> "If she lets us."
<Megumi> Especially if we are leaving this planet, I am not staying. These crystal buildings only magnify the effects.
* Megumi actually looks slightly annoyed for a change upon commenting.
<Angela> "So a change of scenery will do her good."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How can you be sure? I think the Erusians would have fixed such a flaw. What if you're just sick?
* Myria shuffles into the library, wearing a hospital gown and looking bleary-eyed.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Darien to see if he's tanned at all.
<Drasek`> Then why don't I have a sunburn?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't appear to be suntanned more so than normal
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Myria. "Hey, the princess is awake."
<Drasek`> Maybe she just wants attention and this is the only way she'll get it?
* Angela looks over at Myria, "Hey hun."
* Megumi just sighs and rolls to face away from everyone.
<Ariel> "...she could rest on the ship and keep the lights off?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess so.
<Chad`Winters> It's probably a mental problem. Most likely literally made herself sick.
<Drasek`> *Theron, who has been silent, glances and smiles at Myria.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But she better stay on the shuttle.
<Drasek`> Did that once, ralph'd for days.
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> ...I feel a draft...
<Chad`Winters> You're wearing a medical gown. 6He looks over at Myria
<DeathStar> <Darien> You have a nice body.
<Drasek`> *Theron eyes Darien, then glances at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien appears to be saying more in jest than actually lusting
* Angela giggles a bit and walks over to Myria, "Your bedroom is here right? I'm sure we can get you some clothes a little less... open."
<Drasek`> *Theron then looks to Angela, eyeing her now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *speaks again, apparantly getting some energy* We will need to use Darien's shuttle to go. I will go program in the location.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks down at Megumi, then picks her up like a child.
* Angela seems to not notice Theron in the slightest.
<Chad`Winters> How much time before you want us out there? 6He looks at Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, tapping her chin. "So, strange mission to a strange planet. I'm guessing we don't want Aya along."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will be best to go immediately.
<Myria> ...third floor... *shuffles out of the library*
<Drasek`> Great. Let's go. *he motions towards the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Chad now.
* Angela looks to Erevis, "I'll bring Myria down in a moment?"
<Chad`Winters> It would be unwise. 6He crosses his arms, his head down as he thinks
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So I guess I'm getting volunteered to stay behind with her?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks out, carrying Megumi to the shuttle, so she can rest properly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. At least we finally get to put this little adventure to an end.
* Ariel pauses... but it's obvious she doesn't dislike the idea.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, satisfied, and moves out the door to get ready.
* Angela heads after Myria, helping her out.
* Myria shuffles to her room.
* Drasek` moves out after Erevis.
* Chad`Winters looks up at her. 1"It's upto you."
<Drasek`> *Theron mvoes to wait patiently at the base of the stairs for Myria.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, what do you plan to do - stay here?
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck. 1"If I have to."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then I'll stay. 6* She sighs, putting a hand to her chest dramatically. "You will all woe this day, this day the great Alpha Zephyr stayed behind."
* Angela helps Myria get dressed, "You've got such a nice wardrobe... why leave it all here all the time?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr dramatically walks out of the room to find Aya.
* Ariel smirks a little at Zephyr's show, and hurries to get her things
* Chad`Winters shakes his head, laughing.
<Myria> Ummm...like to travel light!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays Megumi down in the backseat of the shuttle.
<Angela> "Well I suppose."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hops into the shuttle and moves to the pilot seat, doing a pre-flight test.
* Chad`Winters pushes off the table and moves off to his room.
<Drasek`> *Drasek steps onto the shuttle and sits himself in a random seat. "So this is the one, eh luv?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. This is the one
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks down at Megumi as she speaks.
* Drasek` arches a brow. "I meant, the right artifact.""
* Angela starts leading Myria down to the shuttle after getting her dressed.
<Myria> With this hardsuit, I will be prepared for anything!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is what I was referring to.
* Ariel steps onto the shuttle, adjusting her gauntlets.
<Drasek`> I see. Excellent work, then.
* Chad`Winters steps into his room then steps back out a moment later, a backpack around his shoulder. He heads to the shuttle
<Drasek`> *Theron glances up at them, then moves to escort them out to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks back at Ariel. "Looking sexy, by the way. The wet hair and gauntlets? Hot."
* Angela smiles, "It's awfully form fitting Myria..."
<Myria> What are you looking at?!
* Ariel sticks her tongue out, "I figured you'd overlook the rest of the outfit."
<DeathStar> 6* The curse gets closer to Myria.
* Chad`Winters steps into the shuttle. He tosses his bag down on the shuttle floor.
<Drasek`> *Theron clears his throat.
<Angela> "Mmmm... not sure."
* Angela giggles.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grins, glancing back and finishing the pre-flight test. He flips some switches to power up the engines.
* Myria charges on to the shuttle!
<Drasek`> <Theron> You will refrain from that, else risk tasting my blade. *he says casually, stepping onto the shuttle*
* Angela hops on, moving to the copilot seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the ocntrols, flips a switch to close the ramp, and pushes the throttle forward to fly them up into the sky.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaves Megumi behind with Drasek, and steps up, giving Darien the coordinates.
* Angela sits back and relaxes as she straps herself in, she gets really calm when Darien's flying.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow, then pulls up his computer. "Huh. That planet is listed as a restricted planet by the Erusian government."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Drasek` extends out a bottle of Erusian ale to Megumi. "Drink this luv, it'll but a kick in your step."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why do I fear for my life?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your highly tuned instincts are working properly.
<Ariel> "...well, then we're probally safe." *sits down and straps in*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to the back with Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, glancing at Erevis, then at Angela. "Was that a joke?"
<Myria> Ok!
<Angela> "I... think so?"
<Drasek`> *Theron takes his seat, sitting near Myria.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But does she joke?
* Angela looks at Erevis, then at Darien. "Does she... make jokes?"
* Chad`Winters ejects the clip out of his gun then slaps it back in and cocks it. He sits down across from drasek
* Angela giggles a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses as they both say the same thing.
* Ariel shivers
<Drasek`> *Drasek whistles pulls the bottle back, acting like he wasn't offering any to Megumi. He looks over at Chad. "Yo, mate."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rests Megumi's head in her lap as she sits back down
* Angela looks down at the controls.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets them up into the main space, then enters them into hyperspace.
* Chad`Winters grunts as he holsters the gun, his thumb flicking the safety off.
<Myria> Do you like my hard suit, Theron?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers over his shoulder at Myria, unable to help himself at that line
<Drasek`> <Theron> It is quit hard, Miss Myria.
<Drasek`> NRP: quite*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sneers with laughter.
* Angela looks back as well, "You look great hun."
<Myria> That's not what you are supposed to say.
<Drasek`> <Theron> Oh? Forgive me, what should I say?
<Myria> That it looks pretty~
<Drasek`> <Theron> It is very pretty. *he nods, truth in his voice*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "You don't have to wear hard suits to make me happy, Miss. Ariel."
* Chad`Winters opens his back pack and begins to restock his tact belt.
* Drasek` glances towards those talking and glances back at Chad. "Preparing for a war, eh?"
* Megumi opens her eyes slowly. 1"...They are quite lively today. The whole lot of them."
<Ariel> "Oh, I know. You have different tastes."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who?
* Drasek` extends the bottle of ale back out to Megumi, not looking at her, still focused on Chad.
* Megumi grabs the bottle. 1"All of them."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the bottle from Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Megumi blinks slightly. 1"...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smirks, going back to flying.
<Chad`Winters> I prefer to be ready for anything. 6He glances at a small vial with a needle on the end.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the bottle to Drasek.
* Angela sits back and closes her eyes
* Drasek` takes it and takes a gulp. "Can't say that I blame you."
<Chad`Winters> Blame me for what? 6He slips the vial into his belt. Then fishes out two small pieces and begins to hook them together.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, Angela. 6* He flips a switch on a overhead panel. "How are you feeling, being an adult again?"
<Drasek`> For wanting to be prepared. *he says, eyeing Chad*
<Angela> "It feels... dunno, normal I guess. It was fun being a kid and all..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Childhood is short.
<Chad`Winters> Oh. 6He clicks them together and slips it into his belt.
* Ariel holds her tongue for now, looking up at the ceiling.
<Angela> "I got two of em, makes me lucky I suppose."
* Megumi puffs her cheeks slightly at Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ignores this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are unwell. You will not be drinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back in his seat as the auto-pilot flies.
* Angela looks out the window, yawning a bit, "But... thankfully it's just that, normal, nothing strange whatsoever."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's good.
<Megumi> Alcohol contents aid in sterilizing.
* Chad`Winters pulls out a small square piece and hands it to Drasek. 1"Hold this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will not drink until you are well.
* Drasek` takes it, holding it for him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says this with finality
<Angela> "She's flying beautifully."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Too bad no one else on this shuttle appreciates her.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear. His eyes darting around.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear again then reaches over, taking it back. He slips it away too
* Megumi frowns slightly, closing her eyes again. 1"Alright."
* Drasek` just stares at Chad. "What am I holding?"
<Drasek`> *Theron tilts his head. "I believe this is a fine shuttle, Mr. Starr."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why, thank you, Theron. 6* His tone sounds extremely cheerful now.
<Chad`Winters> Nothing anymore. 6He pulls out a clear orb then holds it up, eyeing it
<DeathStar> 6* Theron and Darien's social link has reached Level 2.
<Angela> "They don't know a classic when it bites em in the rear. Hey, THeron's got class."
<Drasek`> *Theron nods once then glances back to Myria. "Are you feeling well?"
<Chad`Winters> Don't stroke his ego Theron. Otherwise he'll never get off his high horse. 6He pulls out small scope and places it over his eye as he studies the clear orb.
<Drasek`> <Theron> Perhaps it is wise to have a pilot that has faith in himself and his craft.
* Ariel isn't commenting. She doesn't like vehicles that get jealous and try to kill them all.
<DeathStar> <Darien> At least someone on this shuttle appreciates me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Ariel's social link has reached Level 0.
* Chad`Winters grunts in response to that.
<Drasek`> Oh I love ya, chief.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't lie to me.
<Myria> Me? Feeling well?
* Angela is dozing a little, having a lot of faith in the pilot.
<Drasek`> It's a unique love, I assure you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm sure.
<Chad`Winters> Unique as in not hetero? 6He looks down at Drasek
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans.
<Drasek`> Oh course. Damn that Ariel. *he says with a snap of his fingers and a swig of his ale*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* And so, some time later...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the chronometer, his hand on the throttle to bring them out of hyperspace.
* Megumi holds an ominous object before Erevis' face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at the object.
<Megumi> Riceball. Eat it.
* Angela opens her eyes slowly, yawning.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... I do not require substance.
* Chad`Winters sits there, his eyes closed and his arms crossed
* Drasek` looks sad because he is out of ale.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls back on the lever, bringing them out of hyperspace in front of a dark planet. A cursed planet, according to Erusian tales.
<Drasek`> *Theron sits there quietly, a concerned eye on Myria.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, that place just screams welcome.
<Angela> "I suddenly feel joyous and happy for this excursion."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the controls, bringing them in closer to the dark planet. There appears to be no stars close to it.
* Megumi blinks slowly and eyes it, almost appearing... gracious!
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> Hmmm...
<Drasek`> *Theron tilts his head, studying the planet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the planet, her head tilted slightly.
<Ariel> "This is... forboding."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks his tongue, then pushes the controls down, bringing them in for entry into the atmosphere.
* Megumi moves the riceball in front of her again. 1"You may not need it, but it will neither harm you nor become gluttonous. We are before a mission, so eat."
* Megumi sits up, rubbing her head. "1Forboding? Why?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well. 6* She obeys, strangely, when Megumi acts serious and mature. Which is rare. She takes it into hand, and eats it.
<Ariel> "I've never had a visit to a planet such as this, which has gone... well."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them through the thick black clouds. He eyes his instruments, unable to rely on sight now.
<Megumi> ...Hm, I fear my homeworld is included.
* Chad`Winters 's eyes snap open, his face tense. His eyes dart briefly then his face relaxes
* Angela sighs a bit
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. The instruments aren't working properly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flicks them with a finger.
* Drasek` watches with interest for once, then glances at Darien. "Please tell me it's because of the planet..."
<Megumi> However, if you saw my birthplace with eyes like mine, I am confident you would find it as beautiful as I.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm pretty sure it is because of this planet.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They were fine a few moments ago.
<Drasek`> Maybe that's a sign that we're at the right place, eh?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Reminds me of a Dark One planet.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the controls tighter, trying to guess how close to the surface they might be.
* Angela runs her fingers over the controls, trying to give what support she can.
<Ariel> "Nothing against the world itself... they still tried to kill us."
* Megumi reaches forward and grabs panelling, sitting up and attempting to move forward, she's still wobbily. 1"...Let me see for you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grunts. "How many miles do these clouds go, Myria?"
<Myria> ...I...don't know..
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wait. What do you mean you don't know?!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien resists the urge to look back at her.
<Myria> I've never been here...sooooo...
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Oh great.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there calmly.
<Angela> "Cursed planet, I imagine people avoid it."
<Myria> Hmmm...I suppose it could actually be a gas giant...
<DeathStar> <Darien> How do you know it's a cursed planet?
* Megumi grips Darien and Angela's seats with her hands and stares forward through the main panel. 1"...Quit panicking."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Angela oddly.
<Angela> "It's black and evil looking."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's racist.
* Megumi frowns at Angela.
* Chad`Winters glances at Erevis, his body language remaining neutral.
<Angela> "Against dark colored planets?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, yeah. And black people.
<Angela> "...What's wrong with black people?"
* Megumi looks back out the viewport. Megumi and Angela's relationship reverses.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They look black and evil sometimes.
<Angela> "...So do Dark Ones... we still put up with Billy."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Only because she looks Asian.
<Angela> "...That's the reason?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Pretty much.
<Myria> Hmmm...this planet, with its continuous cloud cover, is ill-suited to habitation.
<Angela> "That seems racist."
<DeathStar> <Darien> In a good way.
<Megumi> Mister Starr, should you not be... piloting more focused?
<Drasek`> <Theron> Asian women are quite attractive. *he says with a nod*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waves his hand. "This is how I focus."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Look, no hands. 6* He lets go of the controls.
<Myria> You are always staring at the booby lady.
* Megumi continues staring out the window, taking her sunglasses off. 1"I see."
<Drasek`> <Theron> She is my friend. *he says simply*
<DeathStar> 6* They suddenly emerge from the clouds in front of a mountain
* Angela blinks a little. "Theron likes Cass huh?"
<Megumi> Evasion.
* Drasek` blinks and eyes Darien. "Mountain, mate."
<Drasek`> <Theron> I do not.
<Myria> Telepath~~~
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the controls, then jerks them around the dark mountain
<Myria> Oh...a mountain is a good sign.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We must go inside the mountain.
<Angela> "Really, how could we not have predicted that."
<Angela> "To the very heart of it right?"
<Chad`Winters> Darien, can you make heads or tail of the atmosphere?
<DeathStar> <Darien> The controls claim we've already crashed, if you want to know.
* Ariel rubs her head. As long as they're not dying, she won't complain.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien does a blackflip with the shuttle, circling the mountain again.
<Chad`Winters> I'm more concerned if we can breathe or not out there. 6He leans back
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah. That. No idea. Ask the future one.
<Angela> "So according to the controls we're already dead, cool."
<Megumi> Pretty." 6Inclines her head."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Erevis. 1"So can we breathe?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings them lower, turning on the headlights so he can see .
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. We are capable of breathing
* Megumi slips her glasses back down
<Angela> "You could always roll down a window and check it out for us."
<Chad`Winters> Good to know. But what about the atmosphere outside?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings them down lower and lower, seeingn othing but black.
<Chad`Winters> And it won't harm us?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I pray to God this is the ground. Hang on everyone
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It should not.
<Angela> "Should not, great."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts the landing gear out and aims for the blackness.
* Drasek` closes his eyes. "It'd be shitty to die here, eh?"
<Chad`Winters> We'll put Megumi out first. 6He stands up and moves to the back, shifting through the breathing devices
<Angela> "Agreed."
<Megumi> Fine with me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Ariel shines a light outside the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle touches down on ground, or something akin to it. Darien brings them around toward the mountain.
<Angela> "What? She's tough."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tries to bring them to a stop, but the shuttle keeps aiming at the mountain
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, this sucks.
<Angela> "Oh goodie."
<Drasek`> I vote we do a good ol fashion tuck an roll.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back. "Chad! Throw the emergency weights button!"
* Chad`Winters looks ahead then moves over and smacks the button for it
<DeathStar> 6* Something pops out the back of the shuttle, dragging along the ground. The shuttle is forced to slow down.
<Myria> Hmmmm...
<DeathStar> 6* The mountain looms bigger and bigger.
<Megumi> This ship has an anchor like a nautical vessel?
<Drasek`> <Theron> This shuttle does not have reverse thrusters?
<DeathStar> <Darien> The controls aren't working things to your Progenitor traps.
<DeathStar> (Thanks)
<Drasek`> NRP: IT was Theron you jerk!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien does a manual shut off; everything shuts off.
<Drasek`> Hey don't drag me into this, you ass.
<DeathStar> 6* They ride toward the mountain in complete blackness.
<DeathStar> 6* And finally slow to a stop.
* Chad`Winters pulls out a face mask and slips it over his head, pulling it down to his neck.
* Megumi is perfectly fine with this.
* Ariel breaths a sigh of relief.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up. "Lets hope we can restart her when we get the damn artifact."
<Myria> I think...we are invited.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands as well now.
<Drasek`> Of course we're invited. The bloody thing is just begging to be taken. *he stands*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine we'll have to fight legions of Progenitor guards now.
* Angela shakes her head, looking to Darien. "Don't joke like that, irony might set in."
* Megumi suddenly laughs softly, but steadily. Then stops.
* Megumi moves toward the exit ramp.
<Drasek`> *Theron stands. "I will not back down from a challenge."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hey, sick girl. Where do you think you're going?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lowers the ramp. Stale air rushes in.
<Megumi> Outside.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh huh.
* Megumi marches toward and down the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You'll probably only get us killed.
* Myria stands up and starts walking...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs a flashlight.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps off the shuttle now.
* Chad`Winters slips the maks on, then pulls his datapad out, running a sample on the air
<Megumi> This is doubtful.
* Drasek` hacks and the like then pauses. "Oh wait. I don't need to breath." He shrugs and steps off of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps off the shuttle, glancing up at the dark clouds above head.
<Myria> ...the air...
* Angela follow Darien off the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is breatheable.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes a deep breath. "Old, but fine."
<Myria> I think the atmosphere is artificial...
<DeathStar> <Darien> An artificial atmosphere? The Progenitors could do that?
* Chad`Winters slips his datapad away and pulls the mask off, tossing it to the side. He steps down.
<Drasek`> *Theron readies his rifle and pulls himself to his feet. "I find it troubling that the air is old. Perhaps the progenitor's only placed a set amount of air onto this planet?
<Myria> Well, there arne't any natural air sources...no greenery or bodies of water.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward the dark mountain. Strangely, it's the only discrenable thing in the landscape. The ground below them looks pitch black. Even light doesn't show any detail.
<Angela> "That or whatever they have to produce atmo is dying."
* Drasek` glances around the planet, then looks to Erevis. "Doesn't feel much like a progenitor planet too me." He pauses. "Maybe it's just been too long."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<Myria> So the air generate dhere...its the sort that might be on a ship whose aenvironmental control was not being maintained.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't answer. But it does seem she knows something.
<Ariel> "I'm classifying it as 'Potentially deadly alien planet'."
* Megumi crosses her arms and hrmphs again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Great. So we're on a planet that's broken.
* Chad`Winters unholsters his gun and he holds it down. 1"Than let us not waste any time."
<Angela> "I'm classifying it as 'Creepy Dark Place We Should Get Done With Fast'"
<Drasek`> <Theron> Astute observation Lady Ariel. *he nods his head, stepping off of the shuttle fully*
<Myria> Don't worry, the planet's mass should maintain the atmosphere.
* Megumi glares at Angela, her eyes glimmering here.
<DeathStar> 6* The ground suddenly rumbles.
* Ariel pauses, idly wondering about something.
* Angela looks at Meg, "Hey, I don't have your eye--- what the hell?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steadies himself. "What the hell?"
* Drasek` coughs. "I don't like this."
* Angela looks at Darien as they once again say something together.
* Megumi peers around, then begins to try and discern a source by sound.
<DeathStar> 6* A Dark Megumi rises from the ground.
* Megumi blinks blankly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back, his hand resting on the hilt of his energy sword.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Drasek`> Blood hell. Two of them? This is a nightmare.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi takes a combat pose.
* Chad`Winters jerks his gun up, he aims it at the Dark Megumi
<Myria> The legends didn't say anything about this...
<Megumi> Fyrrae.
<Drasek`> *Theron rests his rifle towards Dark Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm beginning to wonder how much about the Progenitors we don't know.
* Angela pulls out her Samaritan.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi does not answer. It maintains it's combat pose.
* Megumi tilts her head at her other self. 1"Thui ta shue."
<DeathStar> 6* See above.
* Drasek` glances at Megumi. "Go get her." he motions.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"For being Progenitor, they sure enjoy the Dark Theme.
<Megumi> ...Because it is defensive does not necessarily mean it is truly hostile or deserving of conflict.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It makes you wonder, since Erevis is Dark Elemental.
* Myria chews her lower lip.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* Tilts her head quietly.
<Angela> "Mmm..."
<Drasek`> *Theron glances at Myria briefly. "That is unbecoming of a lady."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi maintains a position between them and the mountain.
<Megumi> It is guarding our source, however, which may be problematic.
<Angela> "I think we need to go through her."
<Myria> I'm having a spiritual crisis right now...
<Drasek`> And like I said. Go get her. *he motions to Megumi*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien draws the energy sword, activating it.
<Drasek`> *Theron arches a brow. "Oh?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, lets make it move.
<Megumi> I am not sure that is wise without thinking.
<Megumi> The reason I have not attacked is due to not knowing how involved this mimic is. If it has my tendencies...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dashes forward, slashing out at the Dark Megumi. The sword passes through her, and suddenly he's sent flying backwards into the side of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tach!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides down onto the ground
<Megumi> Or if it is illusory. Interesting.
* Angela rushes over to check on Darien. "You okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strains to sit up. "Fuh-Fine."
* Angela sighs and helps him up.
<Drasek`> Maybe only You can hit your evil twin. Eh?
<Megumi> I have already come to that conclusion.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on Angela.
<Drasek`> Then do something, you're slow as hell. *he says with a groan&*
<Megumi> Why should I move unnecessarily? You all can pass with ease.
* Chad`Winters holsters his gun. 1"I doubt it."
<Drasek`> I'm not taking that risk. That's retarded.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands her ground for now.
* Megumi peers toward Darien. 1"...I am sorry, Mister Starr."
* Ariel forms her armour, and attempts to pass the double.
* Angela looks at him worriedly.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel is repelled into the shuttle just as harshly.
<Drasek`> See. Retarded. *he motions*
<Chad`Winters> See, retarded. 6He looks at Megumi, than at Drasek
* Megumi rubs her forehead. 1"So is attacking it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel, then holds out his hand to her.
* Drasek` just smiles to Chad.
* Ariel shakes her head clear, and accepts the help up. "...apparently we're not important enough to deal with this."
<Chad`Winters> Than go give it a hug. 6He holsters his gun, crossing his arms now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. A hug.
* Angela seems to be on the end of a leaning train now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head once.
* Drasek` snorts, glancing at Erevis.
<Megumi> Rejection of your own nature is likely the route of many problems, especially those of origin.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Drasek blankly.
* Megumi takes one step and holds her hands outward, rather than taking up a combat stance.
* Drasek` just taps his foot. Impatient.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a guardian. It is testing us to see if we are worthy to pass. It picked Megumi Zhenmei most likely as she was the first to step off.
<Angela> "So... send Meg after it?"
<Drasek`> Good thing I didn't step off first, then. *he notes with a sigh of relief*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi waits in it's combat pose.
<Drasek`> Oh bloody hell walk fucking slower!
* Megumi peers over her shoulder and squints. 1"I do not like fighting of this nature. However, if beloved wants me to defeat it, I will."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware I asked you to defeat it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Angela sighs.
* Drasek` just throws up his hands. "Great." He looks about for a seat.
<Megumi> The others seem to wish that.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose. "Just do SOMETHING."
<Angela> "I say we all nap in the shuttle while we wait."
<Drasek`> Think I can rest on those pillows of yours? *he wiggles his brow*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Drasek. "You're a Progenitor. Do your Progenitor powers."
<Drasek`> Hey don't look at me.
* Angela blinks and blushes a bit at Dras.
* Megumi squints once, frowning at Darien, then approaches her reflection, within reaching distance and offers a hand forward.
<Drasek`> Besides. I might accidentally shoot the wrong one. *he does quotations at accidentally*
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek's fingers suddenly bend awkwardly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi stares at the hand.
<Drasek`> OW! *he jerks and points at Erevis* Stop that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Chad`Winters glances at Drasek then Erevis. He tilts his head slightly
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think Draziel is losing it.
<Drasek`> *Theron remains silent, seems like he is in no hurry.
<Drasek`> Sure. Losing it. That's right. *he snorts*
<Drasek`> I'll give you fucking losing it. *he looks for a rock*
<DeathStar> 6* No rocks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... W-What are you doing now?
* Megumi gestures with it loosely. 1"I wish to move forward peacefully."
<Drasek`> Trying to find a rock of this bloody planet to toss at the moron just standing there. *he motions, then gasps when she says something and grabs his chest dramatically*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi reaches out for Megumi's hand. Is it a trap? Will it burn it off?
<DeathStar> 6* Most likely, knowing this GM.
* Megumi just remains calm, neither flinching nor moving away.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Megumi grabs Megumi's hand, and vanishes.
<Myria> Ok!
<Angela> "...So we can go on now?"
<Drasek`> God I hope so. *he groans*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. We could stand around here and debate if we can move on.
* Ariel looks at Darien, then moves on
<Chad`Winters> It seemed to work for us so far.
<Drasek`> We're good at standing around all scared like.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows after Ariel. Nothing happens.
* Chad`Winters moves off after the two
* Drasek` moves along now sighing happily.
* Angela follows with them, seeing as she was supporting Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along again.
<Drasek`> *Theron moves forward, alongside Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has been standing on his own accord for a while.
* Megumi begins moving once Erevis has caught up, walking at her side. She does in fact seem perfectly well again here.
* Myria skips forward.
* Angela goes with anyways.
<DeathStar> 6* They approach the Dark Mountain of Some Scary Name.
<Drasek`> I bet this place is named Bubbles or something really funny like that.
<Chad`Winters> Is that normal for progenitors?
* Drasek` shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* They come to the foot of the mountain with no real entrance. A strange shape rock is 2 feet in front of it, at about 3 meters in height.
* Chad`Winters comes to a stop, eye eyes the strange shaked rock.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: he
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis approaches it. She reaches up, slowly taking off one of her gloves.
* Drasek` just watches Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis places her hand on the rock and her hand begins to glow. It's clear she's channeling actual hyperspace energy, like Wind and Drasek use to do. The side affect? The smell of burnt flesh.
* Angela tilts her head, watching, she's been curious about the gloves thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow.
* Angela widens her eyes.
* Drasek` tilts his head and frowns. "Woulda been safer if I had did that."
<Angela> "Ere are you okay?"
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, studying her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are poisoned every moment..you use your power.
<DeathStar> 6* The rock glows and sinks into the ground after a moment. Erevis waves her hand, which is normal again. She slides her glove back on quickly.
<Drasek`> Yes, but it's not that bad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. That hand is going to be fucked up for a while.
<DeathStar> 6* The mountain side opens up.
<Angela> "And that's better then posion? Ere you've burning yourself."
* Chad`Winters shifts his gun up at the entrance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her right hand in her left. "I will heal in time."
<Angela> "Alright... you won't take any nanites either..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the entrance, then shines his light inside. He takes the leader.
* Angela moves after him.
* Drasek` begins moving again. Not wanting to take any leader.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows along after a moment.
<Drasek`> *Theron waits for the majority to move in before he would himself.
* Chad`Winters moves after Drasek, he slips a small light out of his tact belt and clicks it onto his gun.
* Ariel sticks close to Darien... still not liking this place.
<DeathStar> 6* As they step in, they would find themselves in a metallic like hallway, though the metal is unlike any other. They can see they own reflections. And despite no light source, they can see fine.
* Myria goes inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks off his light finally.
* Chad`Winters glances around, then flicks the light off.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along confidentally now - well, as confident one as one can be in this sort of place
<DeathStar> <Darien> This looking normal, Myria?>'
<Ariel> "...what is this place?"
<Drasek`> It's a ship. *he says simply*
<DeathStar> <Darien> How can you be sure?
<Drasek`> I can't. Because i'm lying. *he says with a duh look at Darien*
<Myria> Ummm...no...
<DeathStar> <Darien> This doesn't look like typical Progenitor shit?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves along quietly.
<Myria> The places I've been inside looked different...
* Drasek` just shrugs again.
* Chad`Winters glances at his reflection as he moves along
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like, all of them are different, or just this one?
<DeathStar> 6* The reflection grins back.
<Angela> "Let's hope just this one."
<Ariel> "Nothing about this planet seems natural..."
<Drasek`> Do human's constantly do the same things?
<Myria> This one stands out...its...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Its?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and the team arrive at a dead end.
<Drasek`> Shiny. I believe she is about to say.
<Drasek`> NRP: Theron*
* Chad`Winters comes to a stop. He glances around
<Myria> Well....it is shiny...but that's not it.
<Drasek`> *Theron pauses and tilts to glance behind them.
<Angela> "Oh great..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ungloves her burnt hand and places it on the wall in front of them.
<Myria> I mean...it feels...lifeless.
<Angela> "Ere..."
<Drasek`> <Theron> Fascinating.
<Megumi> Beloved, you could at least trade off performing the deed. Do you know how many times you must?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces as she does the same trick again. Darien glances away. As she does this, the ground shifts and lowers under them. They descend into a sea of stars.
* Drasek` crosses his arms, glancing around.
<Drasek`> *Theron arches a brow. "Even more fascinating."
* Angela crosses her arms, looking around.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whips around, glancing at the sea of stars as they low into them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis places her glove back on.
<Myria> Hmmmm...this reminds me...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Reminds you?
* Chad`Winters glances around, his eyes narrowed. He pulls his datapad out and tries to scan.
<Myria> Its like the sanctum of a Progenitor dreadnought.
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad explodes in Chad's hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whips around at the sound.
* Chad`Winters pulls his handback as it explodes, smoke rising from it.
* Angela looks around at stares.
<Drasek`> *Theron shifts to aim, then pauses.
* Drasek` snickers.
<Chad`Winters> What the hell...
<Angela> "I guess no activating anything with a power cell?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Chad. "That would be wise."
<Drasek`> Your datapad seemed to have exploded, mate.
<DeathStar> 6* They come to a stop in front of the star nebula. However, noen of the stars are aligned properly. It's like a totally different world.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps forward, moving through the stars. He touches one, but nothing happens.
<Chad`Winters> I see. 6He drops a clip into his hand and switches it. Locking it. 1"Is this a map of sorts?
<DeathStar> <Darien> So this is normal?
<Myria> Let's see...navigation... ... ...this is the helm?
<Drasek`> *Theron studies Darien, then glances at Chad, before looking back to the star chart.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not a dreadnought. It is...different.
* Megumi notes this, but after examining it, looks for the fringe area cluster devolving into nothingness that would signify Nyr beside her home.
<Myria> Different?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is a time portal.
* Angela quietly shifts off anything that uses energy and inspects her Samaritan's bullets, thank god for projectiles.
* Chad`Winters pauses, eyeing Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh great.
<Drasek`> Gotta love time travel. *he notes with a small smirk*
<Angela> "A time portal..." *she blinks a bit, staring* "Oh... wait we're gonna go through time?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis motions at the stars. "The Progenitors, as you might recall, are not from this reality. They built a back up device into the fabric of every reality to serve as a means to bring back their race, should something happen. It is why Wind was unaware of this place."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, this device, if allowed to fall into the wrong hands, could bring about a great catastrophe.
<Chad`Winters> Than how do we get rid of it.
<Angela> "Realities...."
<Drasek`> Get rid of it? Are you insane?
<Ariel> "What do you plan... Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This device was built so people could travel backwards in time without affecting the timeline. It shields them from directly altering the timeline, even should they interact with things in the past. There is a relic in the past that can be used to bring back the Progenitors. We will use this device here to go back in time. Our actions will have no consequence on the timeline, and we will retrieve the relic.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Interesting.
* Drasek` smiles. "Bloody fantastic."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, since we will be going back in time to another reality, it might not be a pleasant...experience.
* Angela tilts her head. "So... if we steal the relic from it's timeline it'll... still be there as if we didn't?"
<Myria> Why?
<Ariel> "...you've done this before, haven't you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. It will be gone.
<Drasek`> Sje
<Drasek`> NRP: Fuck
<Angela> "Other realities mean countless possibilities as to how history has gone."
<Megumi> If I were to take Wind's explanation, I am only from this reality.
<Drasek`> She's doing it now, sorta.
<Chad`Winters> And we're doing this to keep it out of who's hands?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is my first time doing this. But it has been done before.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> After all, this is a loop.
* Angela looks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks at Chad, but does not answer that.
<Angela> "That's circular though... you have done this before then... even if it's your first time."
<Drasek`> <Theron> Interesting.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he stares at Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize. This may be the present for me, but it is also the past for me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hence, I have done this, but this is my first time doing it.
<Angela> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think she purposely tries to give me a headache.
<Myria> ...head...hurts...
<Angela> "It's circular logic."
* Ariel looks at the others strangely.
<Chad`Winters> As long as we're not doing this to let it fall into the wrong hands.
<Megumi> I understand, however, am I to remain here, and what are we retrieving?
<Angela> "It's kinda simple when you get down to it's core."
<Drasek`> I don't really care. Let's just do this.
<Angela> "We're doing this because it's happened, at least for Erevis. We don't know what it will lead to, only she does."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is a trip I suggest we all take. Though if you do not want to go, it is understandable. I cannot say how long we will be gone.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I hate time travel.
<Chad`Winters> So we can effect the other timeline without causing problems?
<Ariel> "Yeah... but you're not going alone this time."
<Drasek`> Well i'm not sticking around here. What if that legion bloke shows up, eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Correct. This device will streamline our influences.
<Myria> I wonder how it works...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The only thing that will change is us taking the relic. It is designed to be taken.
<Chad`Winters> Than we don't have to worry about watching where we step.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This portal here is meant to get us to it, after all.
<Ariel> "......"
* Ariel isn't impressed by the talk of destiny
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis flexes her right hand thoughtfully. It seems like she has a lot on her mind. She knows how this will end, that much is clear.
<Angela> "Myria, I think it protects this timeline by simply placing us in another reality, thus causing us to not affect our own... just a theory though."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The Progenitors sure know how to build toys.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I'm in.
<Ariel> "Erevis... are we here because this will help us, or because we were here before?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm guessing you already knew that, though.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *she looks at Ariel* When I was told of this event, you all were present, yes.
<Angela> "I'm in."
<DeathStar> <Darien> See?
<Ariel> "That wasn't an answer to the question."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at Erevis, the all knowing.
<Myria> Well...I'm not going to be stuck in this creepy place all by myself!
<Angela> "She's not gonna answer it Ariel."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head as Angela answers for her
<Angela> "We're working on blind faith, everyone here."
* Ariel shakes her head, "One of these days, you're going to drive someone doing something disruptive, solely because they knew it didn't happen before."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I guess she can't tell us, less we do the opposite. Like, if she told me, "Darien, you went back in time", I'd be like, "Heeeell no" and I'd stay.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And perhaps that is meant to be.
* Drasek` groans. "Ok, who really cares? I'm getting bored."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *sighs at Drasek*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Okay, everyone appears in but Chad, Megumi, and Theron.
<Chad`Winters> I never said I wasn't in.
<Megumi> Nor I.
<Megumi> I was merely letting you bicker as you usually do when timelines and realities are involved.
<Drasek`> <Theron> I go where Myria goes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then it's settled. Start it up, Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and moves through the star clusters.
<Ariel> "There are certain givens that we all know can't happen in your timeline Erevis... things that logically cannot happen, for things to end up as you've seen them. Remember that."
* Drasek` seems excited for a change.
* Angela shakes her head at Ariel.
* Angela follows after Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops in front of one star that's a different color than the others. A blue star. A happy blue star. A star that gives Megumi power. Jsut kidding
* Megumi peers at Ariel. 1"Yes, Dearest Ariel. That is my belief, and Erevis perhaps knows this and anticipates those very effects.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans in close to Ariel. "Perhaps we should kill Erevis, and see what happens."
<Angela> "JUst think on this Ari, she knew you were going to say that."
* Megumi smiles slightly at Darien, then moves on.
* Angela grins a bit at Darien.
<Ariel> "She doesn't know everything that happens Angela. Her information is second hand."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It does appear that way.
<Drasek`> I do hate second hand info. *he notes with a serious nod*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches the blue star, kneeling there. She pulls off her glove again, touching it.
<Myria> ITs like the nav chamber of a progenitor ship in here...except no pods.
<DeathStar> 6* The stars begin to shift around, moving on their own. Darien makes a noise of a surprise - a manly one - and grabs Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that normal!?
<Chad`Winters> Will activitating this, attract the attention of Dark Ones?
<Myria> Well...the pods are where they plugged in the Yloi telepaths...
* Angela looks about, deeply in thought about something.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I meant the moving stars. THE MOVING STARS
<Megumi> It is normal.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at Megumi blankly.
* Chad`Winters looks at Megumi. 1"How do you know it's normal?
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're a Progenitor?
<Myria> Well, the stars do move in the real galaxy...soooo...
* Megumi closes her eyes and rests her hands clasped behind her. 1"For situations involving these circumstances."
<DeathStar> 6* The stars keep moving faster, and a dark portal opens in the middle of the room.
<Chad`Winters> Darien, is this your first situation involving these circumstances?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fuck yes.
<Myria> But the dark portal is new!
<Chad`Winters> Mine too. Apparently Megumi has more experience than us in these situations.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at it.
<Megumi> Pity. Since you only value your own.
<Megumi> Are we ready, beloved?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises, placing her glove on her hand. She suddenly grabs Drasek's hand, then launches them, both into the portal.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien blinks.
* Drasek` is launched.
<Megumi> Seems so.
* Angela sotra stares a moment. "I think... we follow?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think she's ditching us.
<Myria> That was...sudden.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs, then rushes through the portal.
* Chad`Winters blinks, eyeing Erevis do that. 1"Move." 6He darts for the Dark Portal.
* Megumi moves slowly forward as well.
* Myria runs for the portal.
* Angela rushes after Darien.
* Ariel heads for the portal, having a bad feeling about this
<Drasek`> *Theron dashes after them.
* Chad`Winters darts through the Dark Portal
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel, Chad, Darien, and Angela vanish first, then Myria and Theron
<DeathStar> 6* The portal begins to close on dear, slow Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* 5
<DeathStar> 6* 4
<DeathStar> 6* 3
<DeathStar> 6* 2
<DeathStar> 6* 1
* Megumi moves
<DeathStar> 6* The portal closes, leaving Megumi behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Perhaps half of her made it. We'll see later
<DeathStar> -LOCATION JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek and Erevis, only, appear in the middle of a field of grass.
* Drasek` lands and glances around, pausing. "What's going on?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes deep breaths, cupping her burnt hand in her hand.
* Drasek` glances down at Erevis. "Hey, luv. You going to make it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Naturally.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances around. The sky looks unnaturally perfect.
<Drasek`> Naturally. *he repeats with a smirk, then glances up* Side effects of the not bothering the timeline bit?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not recognize the Progenitor homeworld, Drasek?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at him.
* Drasek` widens his eyes. "Bloody..." He glances around. "Hell."
<DeathStar> 6* Even the air is perfect. Everything must be run on perfect technology
* Drasek` smiles widely. "Oh god I missed this place."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him .
* Drasek` tilts his head, glancing at her. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did not recognize it, now you miss it?
<Drasek`> It's been a while. Alright? *he shakes his head at her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A few trillion years, I would imagine.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware you were so old.
* Drasek` scoffs. "Well excuse me. We all can't be young pups."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Then what is the direction of the city?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him challengingly.
* Drasek` narrows his eyes. "There." He points.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances in the direction, then walks in it.
* Drasek` arches a brow, then follows after her, whistling casually.
<DeathStar> -LOCATION JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, Ariel, Chad, Angela, Theron, and Myria appear in the middle of a crystal formation.
* Angela looks around, taking count. "Yep, we got ditched."
<Drasek`> <Theron> It seems Miss Megumi is absent as well.
* Chad`Winters glances around, studying hte crystal formation
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers around. Myria and Theron would recognize it. This is their homeworld, eons ago, when the PRogenitors existed. A time that exists before their reality even began
<Drasek`> *Theron suddenly widens his eyes.
<Angela> "Any idea where we are?"
<Myria> *erus* ...this is...homeworld...
<DeathStar> <Darien> No idea.
* Chad`Winters eyes Myria than Theron.
<Angela> "Anyone in Basic?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up at the sky, peering at a Black Angel, far, far in the atmosphere, floating there like some guardian. Or guard.
<Drasek`> <Theron> I believe it is...though a long time ago. *he comments, glancing up himself*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Holy Jesus.
<Ariel> "...did I ever mention, I hate time travel?"
<Angela> "Yes Ariel."
<Ariel> "Just checking."
<Drasek`> <Theron> Many times, Miss Ariel. You are quite repetetive. *he glances around* I am curious where Lady Erevis and Mr. Drasek are?
* Chad`Winters slowly looks up, eyeing the Black Angel. He then looks back down at Darien. 1"So we're stuck without a guide now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Where are we and when are we?
<Angela> "...Are we about to go meet a whole bunch of Wind's?"
<Myria> Our original homeworld...presumably wherever we came from...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wait. Are you serious?!
<Drasek`> *Theron looks to Myria, then Darien. "I cannot say for certain. But the time seems...eons ago, I believe would be the correct usage.
* Ariel rubs her head. She thought it was a time portal. Now it's a reality portal too?
<Myria> We aren't accomplishing anything here... *starts walking*
* Angela looks at Ariel, wondering why she's looking so confused.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, glancing at Myria. "But what if the Progenitors find us?"
<Drasek`> *Theron glances at Darien. "What would they do? We are their children." He moves after Myria.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there, watching the two move on. "I so got a bad feeling about this."
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, giving Darien that look. He moves after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows.
* Angela nods to Darien and starts to move after them.
* Ariel sticks along, but she's obviously off balance here.
* Angela looks at Ariel oddly still.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, three Erusians beam in around them. They are Yloi like warriors, which is unusual, considering that Theron's people always did the labor work
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, grabbing his energy sword, spinning around to eye them being surrounded.
<Drasek`> *Theron pauses, tilting to glance at them all, turning as he does so.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I hate to say I told you so.
<Drasek`> <Theron> Perhaps this is just a precaution?
* Angela holds her Samaritan carefully.
* Chad`Winters pauses, his hand on his holster
* Ariel stands calm for the moment, figuring it's best to NOT start a fight with these people.
<DeathStar> 6* The team is suddenly hit by psionic attacks to knock them unconscious.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lands face first. His mind is weak
<Drasek`> *Theron falls to a knee, holding his head.
* Angela holds her head and falls to her knees, groaning, slipping into blackness.
* Ariel stumbles, trying to resist, "...couldn't... you try a simple... 'please come with us'..."
* Chad`Winters falls to his knees, his hands grabbing his head.
<DeathStar> 6* A second wave hits Chad, Theron, and Ariel.
<Drasek`> <Theron> Perhaps I am....wrong. *he falls over*
<Myria> ...st...stop!
<DeathStar> 6* One Yloi Warrior grabs Myria, adn vanishes with her. Apparantly she is of interest.
* Chad`Winters lurches forward, his head planting against the ground as he clutches it in pain.
<Drasek`> *Theron jerks up, reaching out to where Myria used to be, before he collapses fully.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining warriors keep pounding on the poor people who don't pass out. It'll be a long day for them.
<DeathStar> -LOCATION JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* And so, the half of Megumi that made it into the portal, would wake up face to face with a horrible monster with teeth. It's head is 5x her size.
* Megumi stares. 1"You are not Drasek or beloved." 6Doesn't have her bearings straight, but does go to move away.
<DeathStar> 6* It opens it's mouth and lurches forward to eat her.
<DeathStar> 6* 5
<DeathStar> 6* 4
<DeathStar> 6* 3
* Megumi leaps to the side and rolls.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster eats the ground, swallowing it.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears she is in some sort of plain next to a forest.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster turns back to face Megumi. It looks like it's some sort of dinosaur.
* Megumi opens one eye slowly to see what things are like and what's around as well as to peer at the... thing.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster tries to eat Megumi again by biting her in half.
<DeathStar> 6* 5
<DeathStar> 6* 4
<DeathStar> 6* 3
* Megumi swipes her hand and attempts to toss it by jerking with force roughly.
<DeathStar> 6* 2
<DeathStar> 6* It fails.
* Megumi jumps away.
<DeathStar> 6* 1
<DeathStar> 6* The monster snaps mid-air.
<DeathStar> 6* It stomps toward her.
* Megumi sighs and looks up, leaping to grab ahold of the trunk of one of the trees and swing herself upwards to branches. Been a while for this crap.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster swats her in mid-air with it's tail, knocking it back down. It seems it wants to play.
<DeathStar> 6* It roars at her, when suddenly a blur of light hits it's side, sending the dinosaur thing flying into the woods at a high speed.
* Megumi cries slightly-- not being braced for pain wasn't ignoring it. Shifts and climbs back to her feet, grinding her teeth and holding her ears.
* Megumi winces, then stares-- at nothing-- gazing off to see where the dinosaur went and what got rid of it.
<DeathStar> 6* A being of light floats there. A hyperspace being. A Progenitor.
* Megumi narrows her eyes slightly, but since it doesn't seem to be a typical light source, opens them fully again. 1"...A progenitor?"
<DeathStar> 6* The being stares. "Never heard of them."
<DeathStar> 6* It lands on the grass, it's very being burning away the grass as it stands there.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly, but then folds her arms together. 1"...Do you have a name?"
<DeathStar> 6* The being laughs a bit, then transforms into a humanoid form. Standing there before her is none other than Wind. "Yeah. My name's Wind, kid. And you are?"
* Megumi jerks slightly in realization, stares blankly, then recovers and touches her forehead, pressing in her nervous thought manner. 1"...Megumi Zhenmei."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind crosses his arms. "And here I thought this planet didn't have any humanoid life, much less a kid such as yourself. Well, no matter. I suppose one more won't make things too crowded. At least 'till we find your parents."
<Megumi> This place is likely devoid then. I am not from here, and my parents are long dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pauses. "That so?"
<Megumi> Why are you... somewhere devoid of life?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm looking for something. 6* He glances back at her. "So, you coming or not?"
* Megumi does pause for a moment, then nods. 1"Of course. I did wish to see you again. Now is as good a time as any."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind taps his chin. "We know each other?"
* Megumi studies that reaction, but should have expected it. 1"Not yet."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Interesting. 6* He gives a lopsided grin, then plops a hand on Megumi's shoulder. "I think my companion will find you interesting. Crazy humanoids are entertaining."
<Megumi> Your companion?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yeah. Her name is Erevis.
* Megumi pauses again, then closes her eyes and nods. 1"I sincerely doubt she will find me that entertaining. Yet."
<DeathStar> <Wind> You'd be surprised, time traveler. 6* He instant teleports them both
