* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080625.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 2 days later
<DeathStar> Location: A Shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* AFter traveling through hyperspace for 2 days in a shuttle with hardly any room, the team continues forth. Erevis remains unconscious for now, and Zephyr is eyeing the ceiling
* Xanatos leans on his knees, peering about the shuttle, he sighs and leans back, bored.
* Xanatos is now known as Drasek`
* Chad`Winters leans back in the pilot seat, his hands rubbing his face.
* Angela keeps her focus on a datapad, looking tired and worried.
<Drasek`> How much longer? *he says finally, after another sigh*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I spy something white
<Angela> "Hyperspace?"
<Megumi> My hair...?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the bright colors of orange and blue and whatnot of hyperspace, then Angela, then nods at Megumi. "Yep."
* Angela nods off a little.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And by hair, I mean pubic hair. It's true. 6* She nods
* Megumi jerks. 1"Z-Zephyr!!"
<Drasek`> Carpet matches the Drapes, then?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmmhm
<Angela> "TMI... zz..."
* Drasek` snorts. "Blimey. That's a mental picture."
<Megumi> Then quit picturing it!!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmm. I would be curious to see carpet on Megumi Zhenmei
<DeathStar> 6* She opens her eyes finally
<Megumi> ...Wh-what..!?
<Drasek`> Oh no, I'm just saying. I have a mental picture.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose and leans foward, staring out the view screen.
<Angela> "Someone change the subject... pleaasssee..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tiredly speaks. "I have no seen carpet on someone before."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just howls with laughter
* Megumi clenches her teeth, then turns and leaps at Zephyr. 1"Why you!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets out a startled yell, unable to dodge as she's in her chair
<Drasek`> We're talking about her vagina hair, Revi. Earth slang for it is carpet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. That. I remove that hair. 6* She notes.
* Drasek` widens his eyes. "Bloody hell."
* Angela pulls out headphones for her datapad and puts them on.
* Megumi unleashes tickling on Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What? 6* She tilts her head at Drasek. "Xanatos Durran said that is what one is suppose to do for healthy hygene."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitches, giggling, then laughing
* Drasek` slowly nods his hair. "True. Wait, you shave it all off, not even a little left?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is correct.
<Drasek`> Right. Well i'm slick as a whistle. *he runs his hand over his head.*
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle beeps and drops them out near an asteroid belt.
* Chad`Winters grabs the controls, bringing them towards them. He reaches over and tries to access the holonet
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A whistle is like your bald head?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes red faced as she's tickled
<DeathStar> 6* He gets nothing
<Drasek`> You ever seen a hairy whistle before, luv?
* Angela does the same on her datapad. Attempting to access the holonet, scanning for any sort of signal thet might use.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I have not. ... Where are we? Have we reached Darien Starr yet?
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Can't access the holonet
* Drasek` glances towards Chad and just shrugs. "Doesn't seem like it."
<Angela> "Not having any luck either..."
<Chad`Winters> We need a destination than.
<Drasek`> What about the PAX?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is our destination not the planet Darien Starr is on?
* Drasek` pauses and glances at Erevis. "There is that place too."
<Chad`Winters> And we know there's a PAX here because? 6He looks back at Drasek.
<Angela> "...What's closest?"
<Angela> "JUst about anything is a gamble."
<Drasek`> Oh that's right. Point out my mistake, instead of focusing on the right path.
<Chad`Winters> Which is? 6He stares at Drasek
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Frankly, we don't know if any place exists, Chad, so saying that about PAX is silly.
* Drasek` just shakes his head. "Bloody hell you're a git."
<Angela> "If we're in some place the Dark Ones have one, then any planet or station is equally unlikely... let's go to where the PAX was."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to follow what is happening, since no one has filled her in
<Chad`Winters> I don't disagree Zephyr. I've run the tests, the Light Engine has no power so if we're gonna use it again, we need to power it up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then wouldn't we need a place like PAX, which would have Earth equipment?
* Drasek` glances at Erevis. "Earth was overrun by the Dark Ones, we believe we were transported to another reality."
<Drasek`> Or maybe even the future, really.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I see. 6* She considers.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Or an alternate timeline.
<Drasek`> That too. *he motions towards Zephyr*
<Chad`Winters> I'll punch in the cooridinates for where our PAX is. Let's just hope they didn't shift it. 6He turns back around and types it in.
<Angela> "Let's.... just try and find answers."
<DeathStar> 6* The computer gets the coordinates.
* Chad`Winters jumps them into hyperspace
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is disturbing.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts, sitting on Megumi as they talk. "Yep."
<Drasek`> If Darien did this, then the bloke needs a good kick in the jewels.
<Chad`Winters> As far as it is, he did. Wether by accident or on purpose.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would you kick Darien Starr's jewels? ... I was unaware he had any jewels.
<Drasek`> Balls, luv. Babymakers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand. Darien Starr has a womb and uteris?
* Angela holsd her face in her hands and nearly weeps.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Angela very oddly.
* Drasek` snorts. "He's balls make the sperm, don't they?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She nods once.
* Megumi sighs up at Zephyr, squirming.
* Angela sighs and leans back, looking up at the ceiling, she closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's that under my butt? 6* She glances down
* Megumi narrows her eyes at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, hi Kitty.
<Drasek`> Well, this is going to be a long ride.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Many hours later, the shuttle begins to near the new destination
* Angela is asleep, napping in her seat, datapad on her lap.
* Drasek` is nearly upside down in a chair, wiggling his legs.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finishes tying Angela's hair into a pretzel shape
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Drasek like he's gone mad
* Megumi eyes Zephyr's work. 1"...How did you accomplish this?"
* Drasek` groans and sits up. "I'm going bonkers, I need off of this bleedin shuttle!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gum.
<Chad`Winters> Shuttle ramp's back there. 6He motions.
* Angela wakes slowly, blinking a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr quickly sits back down
<Drasek`> Ha ha good once. Git.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the two, then peers over at Megumi
* Angela blinks and looks around a bit, apparently not noticing the state of her hair yet.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle exits hyperspace. Before them is nothing. Not even stars
* Chad`Winters grabs the controls, he reaches over, checking the short range scanners
* Drasek` coughs and tilts his head. "That looks odd."
<DeathStar> 6* They pick up nothing
* Angela stares outwards, "Where are all the stars?"
* Megumi moves back to sit beside Erevis, frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks ahead
* Chad`Winters brings up the long range scanners
<DeathStar> 6* They pick up nothing
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should becareful. We are not alone out here.
<Chad`Winters> You picking up Dark One's?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Angela> "All the stars... is nothing left here...?"
* Drasek` glances around. "How can you tell?"
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle continues moving along in a straight path
* Megumi gazes toward Erevis, then into the darkness curiously.
<Angela> "When we went to Old Earth... it was the last place... the last world left in a dying universe... did we go back to it?"
* Drasek` pauses. "Wait a bloody minute. Could there be sometype of shield that would obscure and hide something?
* Chad`Winters brings the shuttle around, looping to see if he can find the stars at all
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad loops, he can see stars again
* Angela blinks and arches a brow.
<Angela> "Yay. No more need to me going nuts."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... what did you just say?
<Drasek`> Just ignore her luv, it's what I do.
<Angela> "Mmm?"
<Chad`Winters> If it's a cloak, it's not working that well.
<DeathStar> 6* Their shuttle suddenly rocks from a blast. The hull in the back is blasted clean off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, eyeing the air being sucked out
* Angela holds onto her seat. "What the hell?"
* Drasek` jerks, holding tight. "Sure, mate. I'm stupid, you're right."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eeks, flying over her chair.
* Chad`Winters grabs onto his seat as everything goes flying out, his eyes going wide at Zephyr goes flying
* Drasek` widens his eyes and lets go, jumping towards Zephyr, reaching out for her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mentally navigates a piece of equipment into the hole, stopping the majority of the sucking, though oxygen is going out faster than the shuttle can cycle it. Drasek grabs Zephyr and they both land together near the hole
* Megumi leaps to the floor, putting her palm to it and begins trying to close up their back with... crystal. It's the quickest thing she can make.
* Drasek` slowly glances up at her, giving her a half smile.
<DeathStar> 6* The oxygen loss stops due to Megumi
* Chad`Winters reaches over to the comm, flicking it on.
<Angela> "If it's not Dark Ones..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warning alarms begin to go off again as another attack is about to hit
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> This is Chad Winters and we mean no harm.
<Drasek`> MOVE YOU GIT!
* Chad`Winters grabs the controls to see if they'll even respond
* Angela grabs the controls and moves the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* They do. However, the shuttle rocks again as it impacts, another hole made.
* Megumi winces and tries to patch that as quickly as possible, as well
* Drasek` groans. "Nice, bloody brilliant." He tries to pin him and Zephyr down.
<DeathStar> 6* Silence comes over the comm.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eeks, then peers at Drasek on top of her, pinning her
* Drasek` is glancing up at the hole, he then pauses and glances down at Zephyr. He winks.
<DeathStar> 6* MEgumi manages to patch up the hole
<Chad`Winters> Somebody deal with the comm while I try to keep us from getting killed.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle jerks as something, like a tractor beam, grabs it.
* Angela starts to repair the comms.
<DeathStar> 6* The comm is fine
<Angela> "Okay... so they're choosing to be all mysterious."
* Chad`Winters glances around, grunting.
* Drasek` coughs and gets off of Zephyr. "Sorry luv."
<Angela> "Comms are just fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits up. "It's, uh, okay."
* Angela sits back and sighs a little.
* Drasek` rubs a hand over his head. "Feels like we'r emoving."
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, that's because we are.
<Drasek`> You're flying the wrong way, mate.
<DeathStar> 6* They are pulled along backwards
<Chad`Winters> They stopped shooting. I'm fine with that.
* Angela blinks and eyes her hair, she sighs and gets out something from her medical kit and starts to fiddle with it.
<Drasek`> They just want us closer so they have a easier target, you ponce.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at them all
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think we were easy enough without being close.
<Chad`Winters> No, no I don't think so.
<Angela> "Or maybe they just want us alive to eat Drasek."
* Angela flicks some gum away, working a substance into the tangles.
<DeathStar> 6* Finally they begin to enter a hanger like area, though since they're going backwards, they can't see who or what hanger it belongs to
<Drasek`> I taste bad, they'll be in for a surprise.
<Angela> "That'll teach them."
* Chad`Winters stands up, resting his hand on his holster. He watches the ramp now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fidgets. "I don't like this."
<Angela> "Which part?"
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle finally stops. No one moves in front of the shuttle for them to see
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Take your pick. Are you mentally okay today?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squints at Angela, who has been making odd sentences, repairing unbroken materials, and other things.
<Angela> "I'm a bit out of it."
* Chad`Winters reaches his hand down towards the ramp. 1"You guys ready?"
* Drasek` laughs and then stands. "Sure mate. Go for it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises. "Yes."
* Chad`Winters hits the button.
* Megumi ducks back behind a seat, barely peering around
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp lowers, and a bunch of human soldiers in unknown uniform types stand there, weapons aimed at them
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi
* Drasek` slowly glances around, he holds his hands up. "Bloody hell that's a lot of guns."
<Chad`Winters> Humans. I'll take that. 6He raises his hands and rests them on the top of his head.
* Angela raises her hands as well. "It's a step better then Dark Ones..."
* Drasek` moves to walk down the ramp. "'ello gents. Nice pea shooters you have there."
* Megumi remains hidden, shivering a bit.
<DeathStar> <Soldiers> Stay where you are.
* Drasek` pauses. "Right then. I can do that, mate."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes no move to move, and Zephyr sighs, hands up
<Chad`Winters> Alright. We won't do anything drastic.
* Angela remains still.
<DeathStar> <Voice> So you are Chad Winters? 6* It comes from the hanger entrance door. So far this hanger looks like PAX's, but they would notice, to the side, more war shuttles and Gears.
<Chad`Winters> I am. Who's asking?
<DeathStar> 6* A woman who looks exactly like Erevis, only older than the current one, with red hair cut above her butt, wearing a black uniform, steps out. She has a scar on one side of her face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am Erevis. And if you are Chad Winters, this is very disturbing. As you are dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then stares at her other self, as does her other self back at her. Zephyr eyes them both
<Drasek`> Bloody hell, this is like Megumi's birthday or something.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, an annoyed look on his face. 1"How about we lower the guns and we bring each other upto speed.
<Angela> "I think we know where we are now..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not. You are most likely a shapeshifter. A very unintelligent one, to take that face, and my own face, and Alpha Zephyr's face.
<Megumi> He is not a shapeshifter.
<Drasek`> Gee, glad to know that i'm not popular 'round these parts.
* Megumi continues staring around the edge of her good old seat.
<DeathStar> 6* The other Erevis pauses at that voice. "Who is that? Come out now."
<Chad`Winters> Than I'll clarify what happened. We were following Darien Starr and used the Light Engine. He caught us off guard and we wound up here.
<Megumi> A non-human who dislikes the guns.
<Angela> "Well if Ere is here... can't be the future..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> That does not make sense to me, False Chad Winters. Now tell the person hiding behind you to step out, so we can see them
<Chad`Winters> Take a blood sample, or whatever you need to prove that I am the real Chad Winters.
<Drasek`> That's Megumi. She's stupid. I mean, she's weird.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> ... Megumi Zhenmei...?
<Drasek`> No offense luv. *he calls over his shoulder*
<DeathStar> 6* The Other Erevis pauses, looking briefly stunned.
<Angela> "Yeah, Meggy is with us."
<Megumi> No offense taken. After being called a whore, stupid is very trivial.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Megumi Zhenmei is dead as well. 6* She turns her back to the group. "We will not allow shapeshifters in here. You can fake your blood samples. I will not fall for your deceit."
<Angela> "No bickering guys..."
<Chad`Winters> Than answer me this.
<Drasek`> Bloody right it is. *he glances back to Erevis*
<Drasek`> NRP: The OTHER one. :)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the scene
<DeathStar> 6* The Other Erevis glances at Chad from her shoulder
<Chad`Winters> If were were shapeshifters, and you already knew we were dead. Why would we take the shapes of people you knew to be dead. You would kill us on site than.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> The enemy will do anything to shake the mentality of their enemy.
* Megumi steps out now, moving forward. 1"They might be faked, but the signature on my crystal is from my mind's imprint"
<Drasek`> Obviously you don't know me, luv. So that means i'm not a shapeshifter.
<Megumi> However, if that fails to please you, then please begin shooting with me before the others, lest your mistake cause more harm than good for you in the long run.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> You are Drasek. A rogue Progenitor.
<Angela> "I'm definately no shapeshifter."
<DeathStar> <OTher Erevis> A shapeshifter would say that.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smacks her face
* Angela sighs a bit.
<Drasek`> Well that means I don't get shot, right?
<DeathStar> 6* The Other Erevis crosses her arms. "Very well. Tell me how you can be here, and why I should believe you are real."
* Megumi crosses her arms, puffing her cheeks. 1"Ignored again."
<Chad`Winters> We believe we're from an alternate reality or timeline.
* Megumi looks to their own Erevis. 1"You can be so stubborn!"
<DeathStar> <OTher Erevis> I did not ignore you. I stated that I desired you to tell me why
<DeathStar> *how
<Angela> "What Chad said."
<DeathStar> 6* Other Erevis seems to have missed, due to Megumi acting out. "Please repeat yourself."
<Drasek`> We think Darien Starr of our time used some energy from Centerpoint, and accidentally sent us her.
* Chad`Winters sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
<Drasek`> NRP: here*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi, but holds her tongue, though it's hard
<Angela> "We were using a Light Engine to catch up to Darien, something hit us when we were coming out of travel and we all got knocked out."
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I see. And you "crossed" over because of your Light Engine.
<Drasek`> Right, that's the general idea.
<Chad`Winters> Yes. It allows us to jump space instantaneously by leaping out of reality and back in.
<Megumi> Was it wise to mention the engine? Did it occur to you it may be useful to them?
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I am aware what it is.
<Chad`Winters> They'll find out either way. Since it's useless until we power it back up again.
<Drasek`> When people have guns aimed at you, you don't keep secrets, luv.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> We will have our doctor take a blood sample to see if your reality marker is different from our own blood.
<Drasek`> Reality Marker, those exhist?
<Megumi> Reality... marker?
<Angela> "Right... I remember something about that."
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Each reality has a different signature
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is correct.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I am aware that I am correct.
<Drasek`> That's weird. Stop talking to each other.
<Chad`Winters> Cute. 6He rolls his eyes
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> So I should ignore her? 6* She tilts her head
* Angela frowns a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her head. "You guys are going to make me insane."
* Drasek` frowns. "Least you haven't changed."
<Angela> "Wait... are these markers in people's DNA?"
<Chad`Winters> Let's just get this test done with.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus walks in finally, holding a needle and a datapad. He moves over, studying Chad Winters intently.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Of course. Your signature is that of your reality. It would be slightly different from ours.
* Chad`Winters eyes Caduceus and he unseals his suits sleeve and rolls it back for Cad to take a blood sample
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus glances at him. "You look good for a dead man." 6* He takes Chad's blood
<Chad`Winters> Odd how many times I hear that.
* Drasek` pauses and tilts his head. "So what happened to Paladin and his team?" He asks, glancing around.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Clearly you should try to rectify that then
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Who is Paladin?
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus takes his blood, then puts it into the datapad, moving to the side to scan it
<Angela> "A General in our reality who leads the unit dedicated to combatting Dark Ones."
<Drasek`> Musta never met the bloke. Odd.
<Chad`Winters> Clearly. 6He rolls his sleeve back down, sealing it back up
<Chad`Winters> When did the Dark One's take Earth?
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I find you meeting him to be odd.
<Angela> "He... replaced Warren Carmichael after he died."
<DeathStar> 6* Other Erevis just tilts her head at Angela, then glances at Chad. "They successfully claimed Earth about six months ago."
<Chad`Winters> What's the stardate?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 10-589.3.18
<Angela> "Different reality, some key event somehwere along the line played differently."
* Chad`Winters rubs his chin. 1"Legion?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> He checks out. 6* The other Erevis nods. <Other Erevis> You may lower your weapons. 6* The soldiers move off.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I do not understand. Legion what?
<Angela> "If they were winning this well they wouldn'
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks at that.
<Angela> "If they were winning this well they wouldn't have need for a Legion here."
<Chad`Winters> And my daughter, Aya?
<Drasek`> Wait a bloody minute, Legion doesn't exist in this timeline?
* Angela sighs. "I reiiterate."
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Aya Winters is dead, I am afraid. And I do not know what a Legion is.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> W-What?
<Angela> "Aya..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks floored.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, tilting her head to the side
<Angela> "I-It's not... it's not our Aya..."
* Chad`Winters bites on his nail, his face neutral making it impossible to tell how he's taking it
<Drasek`> How many of your friends and allies have survived, then? Since you and that doctor are the only ones I recogniz.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I do not have an exact number.
<Megumi> ...What allowed the Dark Ones to sieze the Earth?
* Angela frowns a moment. "Do you know who I am?"
<Chad`Winters> All we need is to repair our shuttle and enough power to bring our Light Engines back online for one more jump
<DeathStar> 6* Other Erevis sighs a bit. "Yes, I know who you are. Please quit asking questions all at once."
* Drasek` holds up a hand. "We'll take turns. Me first, right?"
<Angela> "Yeah yeah, you first."
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Does that question count as your question?
<Drasek`> Uh, no.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Very well. Please follow me. I will have Michael Pope look at your shuttle and engine
<DeathStar> 6* Other Erevis begins to move back the way they came
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops down from the ramp, and their Erevis quietly moves along, looking a bit uneasy
* Drasek` glances left and right then moves to follow. "So I don't work alongside you?"
* Chad`Winters walks down the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> No, you do not.
<Chad`Winters> Were the Progenitors brought back?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Chad.
* Angela follows after her. "...Just out of curiosity, who do you know me as?"
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> You have all asked questions at again.
<DeathStar> *all at once
<Drasek`> I guess that means I get to go again.
* Angela groans.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> The Progenitors are not back. They are all dead.
* Chad`Winters still has a neutral expression. 1"Looks like you failed in this reality too."
<Drasek`> Looks like I felled this time around, too.
<Drasek`> NRP: failed*
* Drasek` gives Chad a thumbs up.
<Angela> "Okay..."
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> And you are Angela Bennet. Unless you have another mental crisis that I am unaware of.
<Chad`Winters> No xenocide for you.
<Drasek`> She's having on right now, luv.
<Angela> "Whoo hoo, I'm crazy in every reality?"
<Drasek`> NRP: one*
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I cannot answer that question. It is not your turn.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just laughs
* Angela laughs
* Drasek` snorts and laughs.
<Angela> "No, was just wondering if I was still Seraphna or not here."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, perhaps not liking the fact people find her funnier than she is
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> No.
<Chad`Winters> Can you bring us upto speed?
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> I do not see how I can do that. You are from another reality
<Drasek`> You've not got a question, bit? *He glances at Zephyr*
<DeathStar> 6* They move through the area where the shops and food places use to be, but they're more converted into homes, where people are crammed in, staring out at them
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nah.
<Drasek`> Yeah. You're not going to ask about...you know.
<Chad`Winters> Maybe we can help you with something if you tell us what happened 6 months ago.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> The Dark Ones overwhelmed Earth with the aid of the Tsivrixsh and Ridiariums.
* Drasek` scratches his head. "What happened six months ago for us?"
<Chad`Winters> No Light Engine to perform a suicide mission on the Rid planet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Mom died.
* Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr and rests a hand on her shoulder.
* Drasek` eyes Chad like he's a tard tard, then glances at Zephyr, frowning.
<Angela> "Oh..."
<Angela> "OH."
* Angela looks up.
<DeathStar> 6* As they move along, Darien Starr moves along, adjusting his suit. Behind him a bit is Ariel. <Darien Starr> So these are the guests from another reality
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops in front of the group.
* Angela blinks a bit and stares at him. "Darien..."
<DeathStar> 6* Other Erevis nods, stepping to the side
* Angela looks beyond him and her eyes widen.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares, wide eyed, looking straight at Ariel
* Chad`Winters tenses up slightly as he focus' on Darien.
* Drasek` slows to a stop and tilts his head. "Well then. That's interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, looking at Ariel in surprise
<DeathStar> <Darien> What is?
<Angela> "...Maybe we should take this a step at a time."
<Drasek`> Nothing, mate. * he waves a hand *
* Megumi stops by where she would have recalled the old bar being.
<DeathStar> 6* It's still a bar area. However, this puts Megumi far away from the others.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. 6* He studies their expressions. "I take it you're surprised to see us."
* Megumi stares inward to see if it's changed.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel looks at Zephyr, who stares back.
<Drasek`> Uh, sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Yep. It's got tons of people sittinga round and laying around
<Angela> "I think I see where the chain of events went different."
<Chad`Winters> Rationalizing to myself that knocking you flat won't change how we got here.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chain of events?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chad. "Charming, aren't you."
<Angela> "We're from a different reality... realities tend to be different because events occured differently at some point."
<Drasek`> The Darien Starr of our time is most likely the reason we're here. No offense to you, mate.
* Megumi heads for the counter and inquires about the owner
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender just eyes Megumi. "Darien Starr runs this place."
* Megumi reels
<Chad`Winters> It's not a most likely. He is the reason we're here. 6He crosses his arms. 1"But if Ariel's alive, that would be the divider point."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He glances at Ariel, then looks at Chad. "Here, come to my office." 6* He leads them down the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> I'm dead in your reality?
* Drasek` moves to step past Darien, holding out his hand to Ariel. "Ello, luv. I'm Drasek."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head and follows, looking dazed
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel glances at his hand, but doesn't take it. "Nice to meet you."
<Angela> "You ummm... kinda died to save the universe."
<Chad`Winters> You sacrificed yourself to stop an unbeatable enemy. 6He moves after Darien
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> Who was this enemy?
<Angela> "A creature called Legion."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel eyes them. "Legion?"
* Megumi rubs her head, then bows and exits, figuring she probably didn't have a job there if that was the case. She looks for a terminal and inquires about a Durran, Xanatos.
<Angela> "He was a super solider made up of the DNA of many, many people."
* Drasek` glances down at his hand, then wipes it on his suit. "Charmed." He steps back.
<Chad`Winters> His name was Legion. The culmination of genetic research done by the Dark Ones that consisted of a lot of our DNA.
<Chad`Winters> Their answer to stopping us from beating them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Odd. I think I know what you're talking about now.
<Chad`Winters> Explain.
<Angela> "You do?"
* Drasek` glances at Darien, "Yeah?"
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi gets nothing on him, except he's dead.
* Megumi looks up the cause, mostly curious since the mention of Legion was unresolved.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "The Dark Ones have been enhancing their people with DNA from others. And a Project: Legion was mentioned once."
<Drasek`> Might want to stop that one if you can, mate. He's brutal.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps them into his office, motioning to a round table. Zephyr sits down next to Ariel, and Ariel gives her a smile. Erevis stands, and Other Erevis sits again
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos died flying PAX2 into a Tsivrixsh Planet Killer and all that
* Drasek` steps in and glances around, choosing to lean against the wall.
* Chad`Winters sits down in a seat. 1"So how are you hiding this place?"
* Megumi rubs her head, then sighs a bit and inquires to Zephyr, Chad, and her own name.
* Angela sits down in any old seat, frowning a little.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Cloak. It's our last haven against the Dark Ones. They've managed to take most of the galaxy so far.
<Drasek`> Back during the intial strike. Is that when most everyone died?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Intial strike..>?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks confused.
* Chad`Winters rubs his face. 1"I imagine it uses a lot of power."
<Drasek`> 6 months ago, right. When you were overrun I mean.
<DeathStar> <DArien> Oh, that's just when Earth fell. This has been going on for over a year. Since we got back from dealing with the soul planet
<Drasek`> Ah, right. Just like us. Just sounds like we're faring better.
<Angela> "But... wait..."
<Angela> "So what was different?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives a shrug of his shoulders.
* Angela scratches her head. "It sounds like the lack of Legion was just a side effect then."
<Drasek`> What happened to that Warren, bloke?
<Chad`Winters> Does it really matter? 6He looks at Drasek
<Drasek`> Maybe he's what's different, you git.
<Chad`Winters> And how does that help us?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Ariel exchange looks as they argue
<Drasek`> I'm bloody curious. So just shut the fuck up.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi would find that Zephyr is on the station, Chad is dead, and that Megumi is dead.
<Angela> "He was very significan---... Wait... is Warren dead?"
<Angela> "And if so, when did he die?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren died trying to get Earth to quit supporting the Dark Ones.
<Drasek`> Who took over the group that he was leading?
<Angela> "...There's another key difference, he succeeded with us."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I did.
<Drasek`> Oh yeah? That's the difference, then.
<Angela> "Well... after you pulled your... well..."
* Angela looks nervously at Darien. "In our reality you kinda pulled a double cross, that exposed everything."
<Chad`Winters> Good. Now that we have things that can't be changed in our timeline figured out. Let's get to getting us back in our time line where Darien's still trying to change it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh. I see.
* Drasek` groans. "Lighten up."
<Chad`Winters> Coming from you, doesn't mean much.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... *she leans forward*
<Drasek`> Oh. Oh ho. That was good. I'll write that one down, mate.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns her back to them all, as if she's faced with something she really doesn't like
* Drasek` waves his hand. "Fine. How much do you know about the Light Engine technology?"
<Chad`Winters> Can you supply us with enough power to bring our Light Engine's online?
<DeathStar> <DArien> It'll take time.
<DeathStar> <Other Erevis> As I mentioned. Chad Winters is impatient.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of the room
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"I have a daughter back at home I'm more worried about, you'll have to excuse my impatience.
* Drasek` pauses. "Uh. Excuse me." He steps out after Erevis. "Revi?"
<Angela> "That and we really need to make it back before he changes anything."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Angela. 1"And here I thought you thought he was out getting groceries.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It might be too late. Time flows differently between realities. Years could have gone by in your reality
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... so this is how it would be. 6* She states flatly.
<Angela> "You know, I heard that one before."
<Chad`Winters> I think it doesn't work that way.
* Drasek` tilts his head. "What do you think, which reality do you prefer
<Drasek`> ?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This reality, people are dying. Worlds are falling to the Dark Ones.
<Angela> "But we hit this reality without any distortion, and the other team didn't hit any such distortion when they went to another reality."
<Chad`Winters> I think the realities snapped off fast to keep in line with each other.
* Drasek` shrugs. "Do you think you're the reason for this?"
<Angela> "Then they slowed to a normal pace."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you not see what the change is?
* Drasek` leans forward. "No, luv. I don't."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the two talk
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... They do not know about Legion. That is the being we encountered after the Dark Planet of Souls.
<Angela> "Reguardless, we need to get back as soon as we can."
<Drasek`> Ah. You didn't go back in time, then. Right?
<Chad`Winters> It's only a theory though since we've only seen one other reality besides the first one.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would appear not in this reality.
<Angela> "The Darien in our reality is messing with the same power that created the various realities..."
<Drasek`> Maybe what you did was really for the best after all, luv. Granted Ariel is still alive in this reality. Does that justify it?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien arches a brow.
<Angela> "So it really is a matter of importance to everyone."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Chad`Winters> Centerpoint. He found a remnant of it.
<Chad`Winters> We're not sure if he's trying to reforge the Rune blade, destroy it or seize any reality powers that may be left behind.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...
* Angela seems to go blank for a moment. "Damnit..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs. "I wish Megumi Zhenmei were here to speak with."
<Drasek`> Well the Cat has gotten lost. I'm I not as good of company as she is?
<Drasek`> NRP: Am&
* Megumi looks for location on the aboard Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your company is not what I am judging. I desire to speak with her about this.
<DeathStar> 6* It would appear in a room on a lower deck
* Drasek` nods his head. "I snuck aboard the PAX once. Want to see a neat trick?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... a trick?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
* Drasek` glances up. "Computer?"
* Chad`Winters leans forward, cupping his hands together. 1"Maybe there's something we can do to help you guys."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like what?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chad
<DeathStar> <Computer> Yes?
* Megumi starts heading that way
<Drasek`> There's a Megumi Zhenmei aboard. Do you know her location?
<Chad`Winters> Intel, something.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Megumi Zhenmei is dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your reality is different from ours. I don't think your intel would do us much good
* Drasek` frowns. "Uh, Megumi Zhenmei with a different reality signiture. Can't you detect that?"
<Chad`Winters> We've modified rifles to be more effective against the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, leaning forward. "Oh?"
<Chad`Winters> Aye. Consider it a token of good will for helping us.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Megumi Zhenmei with a different reality signature is heading to Deck 25, Crew Quarters
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we'd appreciate it.
<Drasek`> Think you could do those nifty light things to lead the way?
* Chad`Winters grabs his datapad and unhooks it, tapping through it.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Negative.
* Drasek` frowns. "I liked those things." He glances at Erevis. "Well that's the location."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... if she is not here, then she does not desire to be here
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waits patiently.
<Drasek`> Right, then. But you know what they say curiousity does, right?
* Chad`Winters slides out a small data drive and slides it over to Darien.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It makes you...seek knowledg?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes it. "Thank you very much. It'll take us a bit longer to get your shuttle ready, so you can feel free to look around."
<Drasek`> Curiousity killed the Cat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How did it kill the cat?
<Angela> "And I don't know if your Angie makes these too but..."
<Chad`Winters> Hopefully this is will give you a fighting chance.
<Drasek`> Blimey. I've never asked that.
* Angela pulls out a datadisc and slides it across the table. "All my new ideas for the last few months."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then takes it as well. "Thank you as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, then moves out to join Drasek and Erevis, after glancing at Ariel once more.
* Chad`Winters stands up and nods to the two. He turns moving out after Zephyr
<Drasek`> Well. Where can a bum get some booze at around here?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would imagine a bar
<Drasek`> Right. Let's go to the bar, Revi, Zeph.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Drasek. "Is that all you do?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Megumi. Where are you?>
* Drasek` pauses. "You mean all thise nonsense doesn't want to make you drink?"
<Drasek`> NRP: thos*
<Drasek`> NRP: THIS!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I want to stay focused for when the engine is ready
<Drasek`> Right. Of course. *he sighs, glancing around*
* Chad`Winters steps outside and crosses his arms
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Chad. "So, you think we can trust them?"
<Chad`Winters> Not entirely, but what other choice do we have right now?
<Megumi> <Looking for you-- only... not.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Huh? Come to the bar, that's where we're all gathering.>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to move toward the bar. "I'm surprised you gave them that intel."
<Drasek`> Wait, what did we give them?
* Megumi knocks at the given crew's room
* Chad`Winters raises an eyebrow slightly as he walks alongside her. 1"I have my reasons, you should know that."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So why did you?
* Drasek` groans, walking along after them. "That's right, leave me in the dark, i'm not a vital member of this team."
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a 15 year old Zephyr eyes Megumi. Her eyes widen and she forms her gun, aiming it at her head
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry. He gave them intel on weapons
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves along, silently.
<Megumi> Hmm, I should have expected that reaction.
<DeathStar> 6* She fires at Megumi
* Megumi swipes her hand quickly, to deflect it on a moments thought, wincing.
<Chad`Winters> For one, to try and form some sort of trust. Michael Pope's no doubt trying to figure out as much about the Light Engine as possible. Second, do I ever give anything without a hitch?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They would already know about the Light Engine
* Drasek` arches a brow. "Being as the PAX used it, you know."
<Chad`Winters> Right, but this one's working on a small scale.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hits the door close button, looking for her comm
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She nods once.
<Megumi> I just have a question, I will not pass this door...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not taking to you, Shapeshifter.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs her comm, calling security
<Megumi> How did I die? What became of Famfrit?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't respond.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the bar. 'cept Angela. She was left behind
* Megumi rubs her head. 1"Where I am from, I had to... destroy it."
* Angela wanders the halls on her own after they all leave, looking around.
<Chad`Winters> I don't believe Darien from any reality is one that can be trusted lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* The real Zephyr takes a seat at the bar. "Wow. Cynical."
<Drasek`> Says the man that used to be his best mate. *he steps in* I swear, shoot a bloke, lose all his trust.
<Chad`Winters> I was thinking more cautious.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Drasek`> Paranoid is the correct term, mate.
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, a security team arrives, eyeing Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* As does Ariel.
* Megumi eyes them, then the door. 1"Were we friends, or did you hate me?"
* Angela starts peeking around, trying to get a feel for the station itself.
<Chad`Winters> Paranoia keeps you three steps ahead.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But not always in the right direction
* Megumi does a doubletake and blinks at Ariel, then resumes her placid expression.
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr and nods.
<Drasek`> Paranoia alway keeps you friendless, mate.
<Drasek`> NRP: Also.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel eyes Megumi. Then calls out to the door. "This is Megumi from another reality." 6* The door remains closed. Apparantly it was hate.
<Drasek`> Granted you woudl like that, wouldn't you?
<Chad`Winters> So does trying to exteriminate an entire race.
* Megumi winces again, then looks to Ariel. 1"...If I had to guess, I did not change."
<Drasek`> Yeah, Zephyr's my friend. As is Revi.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the two
* Chad`Winters waves his hand and leans back in his seat.
* Angela stops in front of a computer, browsing through the terminal.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> You died. It is hard to change when that happens.
<Megumi> When? How?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis orders sake.
* Drasek` snorts. "That's right mate. Classy." He shakes his head.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Fighting the Dark Ones. Many, many months ago.
* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"...That recently?"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> I would say about 9 months ago.
<Angela> "Hmmm... I wonder who's still around... Computer... is Alpha Cheryl on board?"
<Chad`Winters> No. I'm just choosing to this because I'd rather not upset Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Computer> No
<Megumi> Hm... before the apex.
<Angela> "Marcus Jones?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> No
* Megumi turns to Ariel. 1"...Do you know of my homeworld?"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> Yes. We went there together. It...didn't go well
<Megumi> So it was the same.
* Angela taps her chin. "Dias?"
<DeathStar> <Computer> *just says No to all inqueries. To save time*
* Drasek` smiles. "Right. You should say how you feel, mate. Instead of hiding your real emotions."
<Angela> "Wow... is everyone dead?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes her sake, drinking it
* Angela frowns a little. "Gotta be more bases or something..."
* Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr then leans back in his chair, looking up at the cieling.
* Angela starts poking around more.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs. "I'll go do something." 6* She gets up and moves over to the bar counter.
<Megumi> ...I tried to set Famfrit's path right... in the same manner that I was quelling, single-handedly. Because of that... that time... She must have hated me ever since. However in our time we... had a course of remedy."
* Drasek` shakes his head.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> I am glad you could reconcile in your reality, then
* Megumi closes her eyes a moment. <...I will return now.>
* Megumi opens them and gazes up at Ariel. 1"Mh. You as well, Mama Knight."
<Angela> "Computer, are there any other safe locations besides this installation?"
<Chad`Winters> So what do you think of all this Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel smiles softly. "It has been a long time since I've heard that."
<DeathStar> <Computer> I cannot disclose that
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... .... it would seem to be a bleaker world.
* Drasek` stares at Chad and groans. "Way to make her leave for nothing." He stands and walks over to sit down by Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Drasek
<Megumi> Since I died fighting Dark Ones, it seems that the avenger did not come for me, or missed his chance. With the absence of a certain event, you may find allies if you went...
<Angela> "Alright... are you able to tell me anything?"
* Chad`Winters nods to her, ignoring Drasek. 1"I'm not to found of it myself.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> I'm afraid FAmfrit is no more.
* Megumi takes a step toward Ariel, holding her hands up. 1"Wh-what..!?"
<DeathStar> <Ariel> The Dark Ones took it over a few months ago
* Drasek` glances at Zephyr, giving her a half smile. "You alright, bit?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Just giving you two space to be snippy.
* Megumi falls back, whimpering. 1"N-no..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
<Drasek`> I don't need space, luv. I can be snippy wherever I need to.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel kneels down to help her back up.
<Chad`Winters> I just want to get back before anything bad happens here.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, then I'll give you space whereever you're snippy at.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be wise.
<Drasek`> Yeah, it bother you that much?
* Angela gives up after a bit and heads towards the bar area, it being one of the few places she knew when she stayed here,
* Chad`Winters smirks slightly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I have a lot on my mind and don't feel like hearing you two go at it
<Megumi> ...There is a chance you may encounter another Famfrit at some point. I can only hope he was offworld. If I am dead, then he would be the last. He... does not think very straightforward. Younger than me...
<Drasek`> Fair enough, bit. I aplogize.
<DeathStar> 6* The station suddenly shakes and alarms go off. People begin to run around . Ariel peers upward.
<DeathStar> <Ariel> I have to go. I am sorry. 6* She moves off
<Megumi> Wait..!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up, frowning
* Megumi gets back up and chases after her.
* Chad`Winters raises an eyebrow, frowning slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grips the bar counter as it shakes.
<Angela> "Fuck..." *Angie hits a wall as she stumbles, she makes her way down the hall.
<DeathStar> *Darien on intercomm* Chad Winters' party, you should go to the hanger immediately. Your engine should have enough power to make a jump, and you need to get out of here now. Dark Ones are attacking.
* Chad`Winters stands up quickly. 1"You heard the man. Let's go now."
* Angela rushes back to the hangar.
* Drasek` holds himself steady. "Bloody hell, he won't have to tell me twice." He hops up. And mvoes out towards the hanger.
* Megumi looks upward, then at Ariel, biting her lip
* Chad`Winters waits for Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel heads onward, going to the command room
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets to her feet. <Come on, Meg.>
<DeathStar> 6* She moves for the hanger, as people run around panicking
<Megumi> <But...>
* Chad`Winters moves after Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hurriedly moves along
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <We have to go. Now.>
<Megumi> <But Mama Knight...>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Megumi.>
* Megumi jerks slightly, holding her head and begins rushing back toward the hangar
<DeathStar> 6* A wall smashes in nearby and Darklings skitter out of it and before the team
* Chad`Winters unholsters Ebony and his modified gun and fires shots at them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns and fires as well
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings are shot and fall, clearing a small path
* Angela fires her backup gun as she meets up with the team.
* Drasek` jerks to throw out dagger at some of the darklings.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek and Angela kill poor Darkling
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves through the path toward the hanger
* Drasek` moves to go through the path.
* Megumi runs down the hall, recovering
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils smash through the wall, wrapping around Zephyr, and pulling her back through
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks to a stop.
* Chad`Winters snaps his hand out to grab at her as she's jerked
<DeathStar> 6* Chad misses by mere inches
* Drasek` jerks. "ZEPHYR!" He dashes to the wall hole.
<Angela> "Goddamnit...!"
* Chad`Winters shifts and moves through the hole in the wall after Drasek
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils drag her through the wall, moving up into a ventalization system
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aieee! Goddammit! If I get rap--
<DeathStar> 6* Her voice is cut off in the vent
<Chad`Winters> Son of a bitch.
* Drasek` curses, trying to speed up, but that's a tight squeeze.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, eyeing the vent space
* Chad`Winters moves out to Erevis. 1"Can you sense her?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his head. 1"...Too dangerous."
<Drasek`> Fuckiing....stupid....vents. *he says in a hiss, crawling along as fast as he can.*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then moves down a hallway. "I shall try this route."
* Angela keeps on the watch with the rest of the group for any other dangers.
* Chad`Winters nods and moves after ERevis
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek would have lost sight of his gal pal, since it's a tight space
* Angela sighs and moves after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils smash out of the floor, grabbing Megumi
* Drasek` groans, "Great." He crawls a bit forward, trying to catch a sound that'll give him a clue.
<DeathStar> 6* It sounds like there's noise ahead.
* Drasek` goes onward!
* Megumi jerks and stares, then struggles, trying to form force daggers within her hands.
* Angela turns and sighs again, firing at one of the tendril.s
* Drasek` wouldn't if he would get stuck though!
<DeathStar> 6* Angela isn't near Megumi
* Angela doesn't do that then.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi can indeed form daggers
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils wrap around her waist, thighs, and breasts, trying to yank her down
<DeathStar> 6* As Drasek crawls along, he'd see a mass of tendrils ahead in the vent
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues down hallways, finally leading the team to a hallway that has Megumi in it.
* Chad`Winters fires to shots for the base of the tendrils holding onto Megumi
<Drasek`> BIT!? *he calls out, trying to throw a dagger forward for the tendrils.
* Angela trues to shoot the tendrils now.
<DeathStar> 6* The two shoot some tendrils, but many more hold on
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils get a dagger in them. One snakes out for Drasek
* Drasek` attempts to snatch it. "Hello, mate. I'm looking for someone."
* Chad`Winters shifts his aim, firing at the other tendrils
* Megumi twists and hacks at what she can manage to slash at
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is finally freed. As Drasek snatches it, the tendrils, with Drasek, bust out from the floor under Megumi. One is holding Zephyr
* Drasek` tilts his head to see Zephyr. "Thanks mate!" He hangs on, then slips out a hidden blade to cut for it.
<Chad`Winters> ZEPHYR! 6He aims his guns, trying to get a clear shot at the tendril holding her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dashes in, swinging her emerald sword out, cutting them from Megumi, then grabs her, leaping back
* Angela aims to get a clear shot as well.
<DeathStar> 6* The two would get a clear shot. For 2 seconds
<DeathStar> 2
* Chad`Winters fires
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> 6* Chad shoots it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drops, then scurries away. "Gross. Icky. Yuck."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should go for the hanger as quickly as we can. 6* The station shakes again and lights go out, then red lights come on
<Chad`Winters> You alright? 6He quickly holsters his mod gun and flicks his wrist, a blade coming into his hand.
<Angela> "Yeah, we should."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. 6* the remaining tendrils begin to stab at the team
* Chad`Winters twists, swinging his blade down to cut it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks up Megumi, since she appears to be moving slowly, and runs with her
* Megumi peers at Erevis, shaking her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad cuts the tendril, and Zephyr gets to her feet, running and gunning
* Angela leaps aside of a tendril and fires into it.
* Drasek` jerks to the side. "Bloody hell." He attempts to cut a few, then turns to mvoe after Erevis.
* Chad`Winters shifts and moves after the others, firing at the tendrils
<DeathStar> 6* Chad and Zephyr's shots keep the tendrils at bay
* Angela moves, taking some shots as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, bursting out of a wall, is Asmodeus. He turns to face them
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis comes to a stop
* Drasek` slows to a stop, then narrows his eyes. "Fucking git."
* Angela frowns.
* Chad`Winters slides to a stop, aiming Ebony at Asmo
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops, aiming at him
* Angela pulls out her Samaritan.
<Megumi> Asmodeus...!
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Didn't I already kill you, cat thing?
<Megumi> So you did it...
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus holds up his hands toward the team. There's a side hallway to the right of the team they could take, if they don't want to go through asmodeus
<Megumi> There is a thought troubling me.
<Chad`Winters> We should go around.
<Angela> "Agreed."
* Drasek` slips out a knife out of his pocket and eyes Asmo. "Well mate. Let's see if you like sharp things." He jerks to throw the knife for Asmo.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. 6* She moves down the right hallway
* Angela starts for the side hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus' shield blocks it. He fires a beam at Drasek
* Chad`Winters turns, moving for the right hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes low and down the side hallway
* Drasek` pauses. "Right. You don't." he attempts to roll to the right, into that hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus begins to give chase
<Megumi> I think we may be responsible for this station being discovered.
* Chad`Winters slides his hand along his belt, grabbing something as he runs
* Drasek` glances over his shoulder as he jogs after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* As they run, a wall up ahead explodes in from two normal Dark Ones. Behind them is the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus continues to chase
* Megumi peers over her and Erevis' shoulders at Asmodeus. <Could we deal with him?>
* Chad`Winters glances back, quickly counting. He drops something then snaps his gun ahead, firing for one of the dark ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets Megumi down, then leaps forward with her green sword.
* Angela takes a shot at one of them as she runs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Maybe, but I think running is the better part of valor.>
<Megumi> <But if they only found this place because we led them to it from Earth...?>
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones are shot, and then Erevis slashes one. The other Dark One stabs at her side
* Drasek` slips out 2 throwing knives in each hand, occassionalyl glancing over his shoulder at Asmo.
* Megumi takes a deep breath and focuses, holding up her hands, clutching the immaterial blades downward
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twists, firing at Asmodeus to slow him down
* Chad`Winters shifts his aim and fires a shot for the incoming stab
<DeathStar> 6* The station shudders again, and gravity begins to go out
<Megumi> <I sincerely doubt he would be expecting we bond. I have a great evidence to that.>
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's shot slows it down, so Erevis spins, only cut along the side
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <This place is going down, Megumi. We-We can't stay!>
* Angela fires another shot at the offending Dark One.
<DeathStar> 6* As they run, their steps become lighter, since the gravity isn't working properly.
<Megumi> <Stay? Just give him what you got. It will buy us both time.>
* Drasek` pauses. "Bloody hell. Now this sure is odd."
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus explodes behind them from an explosive Chad set.
* Angela starts to use the wall to speed herself along.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One still remaining ahead stabs at Angela.
* Drasek` throws two daggers ahead at the Dark One still ahead.
* Chad`Winters stumbles slightly as he tries to readjust to the lighter gravity. He shifts his aim and fires a shot for hte Dark One's head
* Angela pushes herself off the wall to avoid it, going low to avoid Chad's shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Then Asmodeus emerges, rushing. Zephyr forms her dragoon buster, aiming at ASmodeus, then fires her energy at it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> DRA-GOON BUSTAH
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark One is shot and stabbed, falling back. Erevis knocks it aside, moving into the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is hit by the beam, sliding back. However, Zephyr's beam gives out and she pants
* Angela kicks off the other wall and heads for the Hangar now.
* Drasek` then slips the other two into each hand and jumps forward, twisting to throw his two daggers back, where he would then land in a roll.
<Chad`Winters> To the shuttle now. 6He turns around and grabs Zephyr and kicks off the wall, to launch them into the hanger
* Angela heads for the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle remains locked in place, thankfully.
* Drasek` would stand up and move for the shuttle, now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis climbs up the ramp, when suddenly all gravity goes out
* Drasek` pauses when he starts floating towards it. "Oh hell."
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus floats
* Megumi runs back with Zephyr, letting her knives disappate, forming the scythe instead, pouring a great deal of her focus into it and cleaving the air, sending a wave for the stunned Asmodeus with all she can muster, then retreats.
* Chad`Winters starts floating and he slides his hand along his belt and throws a wire to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus floats back from the wave, spinning away
* Angela kicks out her legs and flies herself to the shuttle in the zero gravity, pulling herself into it.
<Megumi> <Damn, I could not cut him.>
* Chad`Winters pulls hard on the wire and sends him and Zephyr flying towards it
<Megumi> Good-bye, Mama Knight...
* Megumi runs for the shuttle, holding her chest after the scythe disappears.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek's ninja knives explode. Because he's ninja
<Drasek`> Wooooo. *he floats there*
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi runs in the air, since there's no gravity
* Drasek` blows air out of his mouth to try and propel himself...slowly.
* Angela pulls herslef to the co-pilot's seat and starts the shuttle up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is sent flying and they both reach the shuttle
* Drasek` flaps his arms, then sighs. "Well this is just ridiculous."
* Chad`Winters grabs onto the shuttle and swings him and Zephyr into the ramp. He hands Zephyr the wire. 1"See if you can get them." He moves to the pilots seat and buckles himself in it
* Megumi swipes her hand, aiming to push Drasek along with her remaining strength, then glances around for something to push herself off
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr throws the wire toward Megumi
* Megumi blinks and bats at it instinctively, then shakes her head and grabs it
* Drasek` waves at Megumi. "Thanks luv. I take back the Whores'R'Us statement."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yanks Megumi to her. Once inside, she grabs her in a hug
* Angela buckles in and looks to Chad. "We're ready to go... cept the locks."
* Drasek` floats past the two. "Awww."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the hanger is blasted on the side, and air begins to decompress out
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, closing their ramp once Drasek is in
* Chad`Winters nods and grabs the controls, lifting the shuttle up
* Megumi erghs and jerks, then hugs Zephyr, her head twisting to eye the explosion.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is jerked roughly toward the hole
* Drasek` grabs onto a seat and hands onto it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits there, holding her seat, floating upside down
<DeathStar> 6* Howeer, the shuttle gravity kicks in and she falls. On her head
* Chad`Winters fires their missiles to make the hole big enough for them to get out.
* Drasek` umphs when he lands, midsection on the back of a seat, he falls over it onto his back, groaning.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad exits the hole. Outside would be 4 Dark Ships, their tendrils smashed into the station from all angles. The station appears to be about to explode
* Chad`Winters slides his hands along to bring the Light Engines online
<DeathStar> 6* The Light engine comes online
* Megumi goes to check on Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up, holding her head, her face pained
<Chad`Winters> It's set to just jump us back. I think. 6He activates it.
* Angela holds on. "Hope so..."
<DeathStar> 6* They leave right as the station explodes. They would all black out
* Drasek` is luckily already on the floor, this time.
<DeathStar> 6* 15 seconds later they would wake up in the shuttle, the planet Darien went to in front of them
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis would wake up on Megumi, Literally
* Megumi flails
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr groans, holding her head as she wakens
* Angela shakes her head. "Well... we're alive and reality isn't gone... yet."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts a bit, onto Megumi's lap. She looks dazed.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head as he rubs it. 1"I think we're back."
* Megumi sniffles a moment, then bursts out bawling
* Drasek` slowly opens his eyes and lifts his head up. "Nope, can't be dead. THere's no angel's about to greet me." He pauses and glances at Zephyr. "Well there's one." He smirks, laying his head back.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis jerks, holding her head in pain as Megumi bawls
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Argh. Ears. Cat howling
* Drasek` groans again. "Shut her up."
* Chad`Winters reaches over and scans the planet
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis panicks and kisses Megumi on the lips to hush her
* Drasek` tilts his head. "Well that works."
* Megumi stares at Erevis through teary eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at the kiss, then pulls out her datapad to take a picture
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis maintains the kiss
* Drasek` scrambles over to give the peace sign over them, since that's what annoying people do.
<DeathStar> 6* The scans are uanble to work - something on the planet is interfering
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally pulls back
<Chad`Winters> I think we can say we're a the right spot. 6He tries to access the holonet quickly
* Megumi sits there quietly, still looking all soppy, but blushed cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* The HoloNet works. The date is only 3.16. It appears they only lost 45 minutes.
<Chad`Winters> We only lost 45 minutes. 6He glances back at Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? Wow.
<Angela> "...Okay, so there's SOME time distortion."
<Drasek`> Sweet. *he moves to sit down*
* Chad`Winters nods, a relieved look on his face. 1"So let's finish what we came here to do." He brings the shuttle towards the planet now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis folds her hands in her lap. "We must stop Darien Starr, so that reality we witnessed does not come to pass."
<Angela> "It... well that's not how... oh fine, we'll use that as our inspiration."
<Megumi> I will not stand for everything dying!!
<Drasek`> I heard that, luv. *he rubs his neck*
* Megumi raises a balled hand. 1"...A-Again!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Awww, that's so sweet.
* Megumi hangs her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "I may have been... upset at what happened in ours. But the other is unacceptable. Megumi Zhenmei." 6* She says seriously, gazing forward. "Please aid me in this."
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad enters the planet, the atmosphere, made of dark clouds, begins to draw power from the shuttle. Once they clear it, they would see a barren, brown landscape.
* Drasek` stares at them, then glances at Zephyr.
* Chad`Winters eyes the sensors. 1"This ain't good."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs at Drasek, then glances ahead.
* Drasek` tilts his head to peer forward. "Well. It sure is a lively place."
<Chad`Winters> Something in the atmosphere's siphoning power from the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle loses power finally and begins to fall toward the landscape
<Angela> "Oh great.... we should land before we crash then."
<Angela> "...Too late."
* Drasek` groans. "Quick, deploy the safety bags."
<Chad`Winters> Shit. Everyone brace for impact. 6He tries to bring the shuttle up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr braces.
* Drasek` holds onto his seat, one eye closed, one eye open.
<Megumi> I would attempt to slow us, but I... tried to kill Asmodeus. Please forgive me.
* Megumi turns and holds onto Erevis.
* Angela braces herself. "Never a dull moment..."
<Chad`Winters> Come on...6He tries to reboot the engines
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle keeps falling. Impact in 10 seconds
<Megumi> Ah!
* Megumi looks over her shoulder. 1"Zephyr!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?
<Angela> "Not good..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances over
<Megumi> Can we not stop it!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not enough ti-- 6* The shuttle hits the ground, with part of it facing upward thanks to Chad, It begins to skid along, flipping upside down and sliding, the top part crunching down
<Megumi> Ah...AGHhh..!
<DeathStar> 6* They finally, still upside down, impact into something, causing part of the wall to smash inward near Erevis and Megumi
* Drasek` grunts and grumbles as he's thrown about, no safety harness on him.
* Angela holds onto her seat. Glad she strapped in.
* Chad`Winters hangs from his seat upside down, not moving, blood dripping from his hair
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle stops moving
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr groans, laying on the crunched top part of the shuttle that's now the bottom
* Drasek` lays there, not really moving himself.
* Angela slowly grabs her seat and undoes her straps, lowering herself to the "ground".
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays slumped over Megumi
* Angela looks around and frowns at all the damage. "Chad...? Zephyr?"
* Megumi is an Erevis drapery again, but less animated
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm...alive..
<Angela> "Chad looks in bad condition..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains to pulls herself away from Megumi and the wall, removing a jagged piece of metal from her back in doing so
<DeathStar> 6* She glances down to look at Megumi
* Angela moves over to him and checks him over while he's upside down.
* Drasek` slowly moves to lift himself up. "....Ow." He manages to comment.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes to check on Drasek, but pauses
<Chad`Winters> 6Other than the nasty gash on his forehead, he's knocked out but breathing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Meg...umi. Zhen...mei. Awaken.
<DeathStar> 6* She shakes her
* Megumi was tossed around a bit thanks to her actions, but being pinned under Erevis both kept her from worse, and smacked her head on the celing.
* Drasek` glances over at Zephyr and smiles slightly, sitting more upright.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strokes Megumi's cheek
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets to her feet. <Megumi?>
* Angela carefully gets him down from the hanging psotion, nearly getting crushed by him doing so.
<Angela> "I swear he keeps getting heavier..."
* Angela sets him down and pulls out her medical kit. "Anyone hurt badly?"
* Angela starts to treat his head wound.
* Megumi stirs, groaning. "...Nnh..." <...Nnah...?>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> MEgumi Zhenmei...needs treatment.
* Drasek` glances over. "It looks like Revi does too."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Megumi! Wake up! We neeeed you! Erevis is standing over you and you can look at her boobs.>
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis glances at her own back, bleeding, then back at Megumi
* Angela finishes and gives him a nanite injection before heading over to the others. She stops as she eyes Ere's back. "So do you Ere."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
* Megumi winces and opens her eyes, staring upward. One eye dillated and not focusing properly, the other studying the shuttle and finally Erevis and Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens the ramp door
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, Megumi Zhenmei. I insist you must stay awake.
* Angela uses a quick bandaging substance on Ere's backa nd treats her with Nanites before checking on Meg. "You here Kitty Cat?"
* Drasek` slowly stands and moves over to glance outside of the shuttle. "Bloody hell is this place?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek would see barren landscape. Though in the distance, many miles away, is something glowing, even on the barren landscape. Made possible to see by the dark clouds in the sky
<Megumi> ...Mm...uhh...?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have a possible brain injury. Angela Bennet, fix her. Please.
* Angela sighs and treats her with Nanites, pulling her up to sit up.
<Angela> "I can only use meds."
* Drasek` arches a brow, then moves to get out of the shuttle fully.
<Angela> "That healing power already does damage to my cells, using it at all will probably kill me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods once. Angela has always been careful with her life
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think, Drasek, that's where we want to go
<Angela> "If she's that bad... we'll worry, right now I think she's just got a nastey bump and a concussion."
<Drasek`> You know Zephyr, I bet you're right. 20 creds say I get there before you do. *he glances at her*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll wait for the others,
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would awaken
* Drasek` sighs. "Fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, taking Megumi's hand, holding it while she waits for the medicine to help her
* Chad`Winters 's hand moves to his head as he grumbles.
<Megumi> 6Megumi lulls her head back and randomly looks about the ceiling, then gazes at Erevis blankly.
<Angela> "Meg, wakey wakey..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please stay with me, Megumi Zhenmei. Do not leave me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You said you would not.
* Drasek` crosses his arms. "You think Darien is up there?" He glances at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves back in, checking on Chad. "Good chance."
* Megumi closes both eyes slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi!
* Chad`Winters winces as he rises, he glances around and moves out of the shuttle, stopping as he see's Zephyr. 1"Everyone make it?"
* Megumi snaps one eye open, the one that was focusing, and peers at Erevis coldly. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi seems to be having trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks,
Session Close: Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 2008
Session Start: Thu Jun 26 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
* Chad`Winters does a half nod and moves against the shuttle wall, resting against it.
<DeathStar> 6* The stunned look leaves Erevis' face slowly
* Drasek` peers in at them.
<Angela> "See? She's fine."
* Megumi takes another look around, then sits up and stands, brushing herself off. 1"Of course I am fine."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... 6* She holds onto Megumi's hand still
<Drasek`> When you lot get finished, we've got a reality to save.
* Megumi peers down at her hand, frowning slightly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Megumi? You okay?>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets go of her hand, glancing down. She shifts to stand, not putting weight on her side with the damaged back, and moves out
<Megumi> <Please do not make merepeat myself.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <...*she checks Megumi through the bond, to see if she's okay.*>
* Angela gets up, looking a bit annoyed, she steps out of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks out, at the glowing thing, then moves onward. Her face grim now.
* Drasek` glances at Erevis, then shrugs, moving along after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her arms, then moves on.
* Chad`Winters steps out after Zephyr, his hand pulling out some pain pills. He tosses them back.
* Megumi moves out of the shuttle, still using the single eye, half-lidded in an annoyed manner. She guages the area, then heads for the others' destination.
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
