[21:00] <13@DeathStar> -0-
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.11
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> Location: Erusian Ascendency
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Following the previous day, and through the night, Ao and Myria have been working on Zerith's formula to see if they can at least make a cure for the Erusians. The Ascendency so far has been closed to outside worlds, having isolated itself to prevent further outbreak. So far, Zephyr, Ariel, and Xanatos have been infected for 12 hours. The two women have been suffering cold symptoms, while Xan has not
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao takes a momentary break from the formula to study Xanatos, having put the three of them in a isolation chamber zone. She seems to be scanning him with Myria's equipment.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches from her spot, having not slept through the night, watching over the three. Zephyr rubs her face, tired from sneezing
[21:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos watches her calmly, not moving despite not knowing if that would affect her results or not. 1Any idea why i'm not showing any symptoms?
15[21:04] * 13Ariel sighs some, she's trying to stay cheery, despite the feeling of hopelessness. "You know... if we weren't all the way out here, I bet we could get some chicken soup and clean this all up."
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> You're infected, but it can't seem to affect your DNA. Being a clone, your DNA is slightly different from a normal human. It seems like it can't adapt to the parts of your DNA that are different.
[21:05] <13Myria> What would cause the DNa to vary that much though?
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Not much, but there's pointers that every clone has in their DNA strands.
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> Hmmm, well that sounds good for me, but is there anyway to use it to help the others?
[21:06] <13Myria> Why is that?
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao sits down, peering at Myria with a sigh. "Do you really need a lecture about cloning? I thought you were more advanced than most of your species."
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Ariel. "I think we're just not stupid enough to die." 6* She smiles at Xanatos, wearily.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> *not to
15[21:08] * 13Ariel ponders, "Maybe that's why the chicken helps."
[21:08] <13Myria> Well, I have never actually made a complete clone before. My cell cultures don't vary significantly form the original.
15[21:08] * 13@Xanatos peers at her with a faint smile. 1I could give you some pointers Zeph.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> The more you clone, the more errors you'll get. This guy is full of errors and unknown genomes.
[21:09] <13Myria> Ohhhh...I see.
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> That means i'm extra special. 6He says with a bland joke, rubbing at his temple.
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> So what, he still contagious?
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Actually, they're becoming less contagious, I think, as the virus progresses. Seems like it spread the most during the initial cold phase.
[21:11] <13Myria> Its adapting to the host specifically.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Probably.
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> So that means that it's becoming harder to create a massive cure for, the longer is progresses.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Not without the original source. But I think I'm about done with a cure that'll innoculate the Erusians not infected. 6* She doesn't add that the death toll is in the thousands, and many more are infected.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms, closing her eyes a bit as she takes it all in, looking tired.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> Saving some is better than none at all. 6He notes slightly, peering upward.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She rubs her nose and sits down in a chair provided. "This is terrible."
[21:14] <13Myria> ...just what is Zerith's deal?!
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a breath, frowning slightly. 6Dunno, luv. But apparently he doesn't care about the lot of you anymore.
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a breath, frowning slightly. 1Dunno, luv. But apparently he doesn't care about the lot of you anymore.
15[21:14] * 13Ariel gives Zephyr a hug, not sure what to say
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> ... 6* She moves to her datapad, and inputs some more formulas, then hands out the results to Myria. "Make this and start spreading it to those not infected.
[21:16] <13Myria> ...Zerith probably thinks the job is done wiht his little virus... *takes the results from Ao* ...after this, Theron and I are going to talk about Zerith... *walks off to another section of her lab*
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers at Erevis, then moves over to her, patting her on the arm. 
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well... 6* She sighs, glancing at Ariel. "Some return trip to Erusia, isn't it?"
15[21:17] * 13@Xanatos drums on the chair that he is sitting on, letting out a slight hmmm.
[21:17] <13Ariel> "Teaches us to take a free trip, doesn't it?"
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, it does. 6* She manages a weak smile.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> Location: Earth. Tokyo. Briefing Room
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at the map of Tokyo, the team having been going over ideas for the better part of the night about what sort of trap to set up.
15[21:19] * 13@Sammael rubs her eyes a little, yawning as she looks over another section.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I still don't know what we can do. 6* He says finally, rubbing his face.
15[21:19] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms, having been quiet most of the time as he thought.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Having only one shot at this, is any plan really adequate enough to draw out a large number of V.I?
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> No, but the real question is, will they believe it.
09[21:21] <13@Sammael> "Wouldn't some sort of plan to draw out someone higher ranking then a simple soldier be more effective?"
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I can't see that being believeable.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> Even if we humor the idea of putting Fiore, Dawn and Aya out in the same place, they still won't send their entire force after them.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> They won't, I agree.
15[21:22] * 13@Sammael rubs her eyes a bit. "What do we do once we've trapped them then? We may very well just have a bunch of arrested or dead guards on our hands."
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> If we try to break all three up, we raise the chances of bringing more out, but we lower our chances of succeeding
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Should we somehow use her to lead us back towards VI?
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It is possible we could leave Fiore alone with Aya and Dawn somewhere, and see if we can let all three be captured.
15[21:24] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Darien now.
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I mean, I'm no master strategist, but if you can't get them to come to you. Go to them.
09[21:24] <13@Sammael> "Trace them?"
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at Chad. "Marcus is right to a degree. If we can hide some tracking devices on them, we might could follow them. We just need some of Cassandra's people to make it look believeable."
[21:25] <13Chad`Winters> And why would I want to willingly put my daughter in that kind of risk?
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You want to end it.
[21:25] <13Chad`Winters> Not that badly.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Then we shouldn't put Dawn and Fiore in danger. I say we fix her brainwashing and call it a day. 6* He notes now.
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> I'm not going to convince my daughter to do it. You want it down, you convince her.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I wouldn't have to convince her and you know that.
15[21:26] * 13@Sammael frowns and tilts her head at the map, letting the boys argue.
15[21:26] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, closing his eyes now
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah I don't blame Chad for not wanting to do this. But these people harrass you all like weekly don't they? I'd say I woudl get sick of that.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms again, peering at Cassandra to see if she has input.
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> At least now it's on your terms. And not theirs.
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> Pretend it's Kat and your kid once, than tell me how easy it is.
03[21:28] * Myria is now known as Cassandra`
09[21:28] <13@Sammael> "It is not easy... but it is choosing a risk you know of versus an inevitable tragedy through repeated attacks."
[21:28] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Did I say it was easy? Fuck no. You've got to ask yourself which is riskier. Getting attacked when you least expect it? Or orchestrating the whole thing.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Sam, then Marcus, then Sam.
[21:28] <13Cassandra`> I have nothing to add right now.
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> But hey. I'm just a civvie. Don't mind me.
15[21:29] * 13@Sammael isn't looking up from the map, she seems tired, emphasising it with a yawn.
[21:30] <13Chad`Winters> It's upto her. 6He states simply as he opens his eyes
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'm impressed. 6* He notes, off handedly. "Letting Aya choose something for once is very unique."
[21:30] <13Cassandra`> Right now, I'm not ready to commit to anything given VI's capacity for setting us up beforehand.
09[21:31] <13@Sammael> "Are you suggesting the brainwashing in itself is some form of trap?"
[21:31] <13Chad`Winters> I don't care what you are Darien. So let's skip this and figure out what we plan on doing if she goes with it
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Lets get Dawn in here and go from there. 6* He taps his datapad once to have Dawn come into the room.
[21:32] <13Cassandra`> Its possible...I wouldn't put it past VI.
09[21:32] <13@Sammael> "If you're going to use a trace, it would be foolhardy to use something as simple as a clothing bug... we need something they cannot find nor easily disarm."
[21:33] <13Chad`Winters> Don't worry about the tracers.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I say we tell Fiore we're going to move them back to Cassandra's house, and set them up to travel with a few of Cassandra's people. Hope they're hit along the way, and taken, and then we follow from there.
15[21:33] * 13@Sammael looks up at him and smiles. "Alright."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve steps into the room now, grim expression on her face. "I think you might want to stop your plans."
[21:34] <13Kit> 6Dawn enters after Eve, gazing at the datapad he usually does stock work on
15[21:34] * 13Chad`Winters glances back at Eve
15[21:35] * 13Cassandra` glances at Eve.
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up a bit confused. 1What's going on?
15[21:35] * 13@Sammael looks over at her curiously.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve steps over to a holovid on the wall, turning it on. A transmission in Basic is being transmitted. "We got bounced this message from some Cartel people." 6* The message is talking about an outbreak of a virus in the Erusian Ascendency.
15[21:36] * 13Chad`Winters looks at the holovid studying it for a second than concern flashing on his face
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien stiffens now, his face looking pale. "No..."
15[21:36] * 13@Sammael frowns at the holovid. "Aren't the others..."
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> Zephyr...6He looks back at Eve. 1"Have you been able to confirm it?"
[21:36] <13Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He just sighs.
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses. 1Wait, wait. Zephyr?
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No one's allowed in, and messages with the Ascendency are being jammed. The only thing the message describes is that the virus begins as a cold.
15[21:38] * 13Chad`Winters rubs his face, his eyes closing.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> And not to alarm you, but there's been people getting ill in this very building with colds. Right after the Generals got back from the Ascendency.
[21:38] <13Cassandra`> ...oh great...
15[21:38] * 13@Sammael frowns more. "Are we under quarantine then?"
[21:38] <13Cassandra`> I think we need to lock down the building...now.
[21:39] <13Chad`Winters> ...6He reaches upto his ear, tapping it as he moves to step outside past Eve and Dawn. 1"Aya?"
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus widens his eyes and shifts to pull up his Datapad, sending a message on it quickly.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We don't even know what we're looking for. Locking down the building is probably too late. We've already had ships coming in from all over, even the Cartel, and the Cartel is reporting symptons of colds.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya answers her comm. "Yes?"
[21:40] <13Cassandra`> Do we have anymore information about this thing? Virulence and potential lethality?
[21:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Where are you?
[21:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and lets out a breath of relief, then sends another message.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien puts a hand to his face, trying to keep the room from spinning. He seems to be thinking about Ariel still
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Uh, in the room they let us rest in
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> The message details it is most likely lethal.
15[21:40] * 13@Sammael sits back, closing her eyes and trying to collect her thoughts.
[21:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'll be right there. 6He starts moving off for the room
15[21:41] * 13Cassandra` looks at Darien.
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dear god. How are we going to prevent it from infecting us?
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We're already looking over General Cartwright, who has been showing severe cold symptons. But we haven't gotten in touch with Cheryl or the others.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Hopefully we can learn something from Paladin's bloodwork that will let us know if we're infected.
15[21:43] * 13@Sammael nods, "Perhaps I can lend aid..."
15[21:43] * 13Chad`Winters steps into the resting room and moves over to Aya. 1"How're you feeling?"
[21:43] <13Cassandra`> Forget us...what about human civilization?!
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien and Eve begin to look over at Cassandra.
[21:44] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Jeez Cassie. Talk about freaking out.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I'm fine.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya studies Chad now, worried.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> One step at a time. Until we know what the virus is and does, we can't very well do anything about it, Cassandra.
09[21:44] <13@Sammael> "Remaining calm is the best response in a situation such as this."
15[21:44] * 13Chad`Winters moves over and rests his hand against her forehead. 1"Our focus shifted."
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Right now, we should probably get your people who aren't in the Executive Building to find thos with Paladin. 6* He looks at Eve now
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> To what? 6* She seems fine.
[21:45] <13Cassandra`> Sorry, sorry....I get a little frustrated about enemies that I can't shoot.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Right. General Cheryl, her son, Jennifer, SPoC, and Chii were all with Paladin.
15[21:45] * 13Chad`Winters sits down beside her. 1"Apparently there was an outbreak on the the Erusian home planet."
[21:45] <13@Xanatos> Cheryl?! 6He frowns, glancing down.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, looking back at Cassandra. "Better have your boys back at your house find them."
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> What kind of outbreak? 6* She looks more worried
[21:47] <13Chad`Winters> The bad kind that's made it's way back here through General Paladin and the others. If you start coming down with cold like symptoms, please let me know.
[21:47] <13Cassandra`> Roger *pulls out her comm* Arakawa calling in.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of Robotics
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits on the couch, watching the HoloVid, ignoring a comm beeping on the table.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Finally she peers at it, then opens a ripple to dump Dias down beside the comm. "Comm."
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps inside, sweat pouring off his face. 1"....What's that beeping noise?"
[21:49] <13Kit> 6Lilith stares at X, the comm, Dias, the comm, then X.
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly looks over at the comm than grabs it. 1"Yo."
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy stands on the roof of the house, peering out at the city with a peculiar expression
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* The comm would connect him with Cassandra.
[21:51] <13Cassandra`> *comm* ...Dias?
[21:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yes.
[21:51] <13Cassandra`> *comm* We got a situation here. But for now, I have a job for you and the others.
[21:51] <13Kit> 6Freyja finishes sweeping the roof, and turns to go back down
[21:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shoot.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Many people are about to die.
[21:52] <13Cassandra`> *comm* You need to finf Cheryl, her son, Jennifer, SPoC, and Chii. This is majorly important.
[21:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Did you try comming them?
[21:53] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Billy, "...die? How?"
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Painfully, puking up blood
[21:53] <13Cassandra`> *comm* Please, just start looking. We'll try to contact them to come in as well...but we need all bases covered. And one more thing...
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And it is?
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Information comes along a datapad showing the pings of each of the people's datapads.
[21:54] <13Cassandra`> Assume a potential biohazard.
[21:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah I have no idea what that is. But I'll be sure to find them for you.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6 X picks up the datapad, eyeing the pings with a curious expression
[21:55] <13Cassandra`> *comm* ...I mean...if they sneeze on you, your dick will fall off, ok?
[21:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...6He sound of the comm hitting the floor can be heard*
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks over at Dias.
[21:55] <13Cassandra`> *comm* Dias? Pick up the damn comm!
[21:56] <13Ariel> Raquel> "That... doesn't sound..." *hesitates, and checks her pad*
[21:56] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly pulls his shirt up and over his face. 1"We need to find some Cheryl, Ben, Jen, Chii and SPoC. And you're lucky since you dont' have penis'
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you admit not having a penis is superior now?
[21:56] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> At this venture in life, yes. Now let's go find them.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods. "Alright."
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers back at Freyja as she moves off. "Paladin is dying."
[21:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll drive. 6He stands up and moves outside to the van, his shirt still over his face
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Dias, then slowly mimics the shirt over the face as she follows.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shadowports off the roof into the van, taking a spot in the back
[21:58] <13Kit> 6Freyja jerks and looks back at Billy. 1"Yes, you have made that known befo--..'
[21:58] <13Kit> <Freyja> God. Damn it.
[21:58] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias opens the door and steps inside, starting the van up. 1"Get Lilith and Raquel in here."
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shadowports Freyja and Raqeul into the van
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Done.
[21:59] <13Kit> 6Freyja stares, holding a broom.
[21:59] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nice job, Billy. Who's the closest group? 6He starts driving.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps into the van, then quietly moves aside for Lilith to get in
[21:59] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stops the van.
[21:59] <13Kit> 6Lilith climbs up as well, blinking at the broom Freyja's holding. 1"Is this your preferred weapon?"
[21:59] <13Kit> 6Freyja stares at Lilith in turn. 1"..."
[22:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts driving again
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> *puts a hand to her face thoughtfully, then takes the datapad from X after she gets in* Hotel. Straight, then left, then straight, then left, then straight, then right, then left.
[22:00] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...what are we supposed to do to protect ourselves? This sounds nasty..."
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You can't protect yourselves.
[22:00] <13Kit> <Freyja> You can.
[22:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias heads that way.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Not from dick rot. 6* She notes offhandedly, loud enough for Dias to hear.
[22:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias whimpers.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> Location: Cartel
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Loki and Iceheart have been in isolation for many hours now. Apparantly Iceheart showed signs of the unknown pathogen as well, and has begun to show cold systems much sooner than Loki did, who's still in the cold phase, albeit, in a bad part of it
[22:02] <13Chad`Winters> 6Loki lays in his bed. 1"You know if we're going to die, you could always sleep with me."
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Holding a datapad, Iceheart looks up now. "I'm not that desperate yet."
[22:03] <13Chad`Winters> <Loki> Yet being the key word. You say that now, but when you're about to die, you're gonna want to taste the man sausage, one last time.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart makes a groan sound, hand to the face. "Now I know why I stopped going after that particular meat."
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> <Loki> I said I was sorry for fourty times already about that. You'd think you'd finally get over it.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart looks back down at the datapad. "Six worlds have already begun to report signs of what appears to be the virus. But it would seem that are agents have information that Zerith is at Earth. Since we're already infected, we're prime candidates to go after him ourselves.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'd very much like to dismember his man sausage.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Loki> How sure are we on that information?
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Sure.
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Loki> You know, I would definetly enjoy seeing you dismember his man sausage. It's been a while since I've seen that show
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Alright. 6* She rises, sneezing again, wiping at her nose. "Odin has a ship ready for us. Apparantly by the time we get to Earth, our medical people think we're no longer be contagious."
[22:07] <13Chad`Winters> <Loki> Mmmm, such a pleasant journey with just you and me. 6He forces a smile at her.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* The group has been led to a medical area, where Paladin is seen behind an isolation room. He's laying in a bed, looking like his black ass is dying
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran is standing in the area that's not isolated, reading over reports on a datapad. Eve leads everyone inside
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We'll look at all your blood now, and try to run comparisions to the General.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya walks in with Chad, having been summoned and all.
15[22:10] * 13@Sammael nod quietly as she walks along, looking at Paladin worriedly.
15[22:10] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Paladin, crossing his arms as he steps inside
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in now, with Fiore behind him
[22:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a slight face, moving over to peer at Paladin.
[22:11] <13Kit> 6Dawn rubs his face, since they just went through this crap once.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers over at them all, waving once.
15[22:11] * 13@Sammael gives him a weak smile and a little wave.
[22:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods once. 1How you holding up, sir?
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Some medical people move over to take blood samples now. Alexander looks over finally. <Alexander> If it's not one thing, it's another, right?"
[22:11] <13Cassandra`> Downed by a killer cold...not a way I'd want to go...no way for a soldier to die.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I'm good.
15[22:12] * 13Chad`Winters unseals his tact suit's left arm, and holds his arm out.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We already have reports that hospitals are filling up with people complaining about severe cold symptons. It would seem the virus is infecting people quicker. Newer cases are further along than older cases.
15[22:12] * 13@Sammael pulls up the sleeve to her lose shirt, holding out her arm.
[22:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks away from the needle, making a face, never one for shots.
[22:13] <13Cassandra`> Then its already too late.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peels back his own dress shirt and lets his blood be taken. Fiore submits with no problems.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Very pessimistic of you, General.
[22:14] <13Chad`Winters> It means the virus is most likely evolving.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya winces as her blood is taken, taking a seat and trying not to look at Paladin.
[22:14] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> We've just got to figure out the source and make an anti-virus from it don't we? Isn't that how it works?
09[22:14] <13@Sammael> "Your words are certainly a detriment to morale, General Arakawa..."
[22:14] <13Cassandra`> I meant as far as containment goes.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I agree on containment. Holding you all in here would be pointless. Once we find out who is infected and not, we're going to let the non infected go.
15[22:15] * 13Chad`Winters seals his tact suit back up and takes a seat beside Aya.
15[22:15] * 13@Sammael takes a seat after her blood is taken as well, leaning back and yawning a bit.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> And then try to figure out how advanced the infection is in those who are infected.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve takes the samples and begins to sit down to study them. Darien rubs his face, and grabs his comm. <Darien> I need to make a call. 6* He dials Megumi's comm at home.
[22:16] <13Cassandra`> What about me?
[22:16] <13Chad`Winters> And Paladin will be the base you use to determine how far along it is.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We'll have to use scanners on you, Arakawa, once we get something to scan for.
[22:17] <13Cassandra`> Then I'll stay put.
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves over to find a seat, letting out a slight sigh, rubbing his face. 1You plan on shutting off your borders like Erusia did?
[22:17] <13Kit> <Megumi> <C> Yes, Darien?
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Already done.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> *Alexander
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So much for me taking Kat and running off in a shuttle away from all this.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I have bad news for you, Megumi. There's an outbreak of a deadly virus that's spreading quickly. It began on Erusia.
[22:18] <13Chad`Winters> Earth has no real choice than to do that.
[22:18] <13Kit> 6Megumi just remains silent
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It's on Earth now, but we don't know how far along it's at on Erusia at this point, as communication is cut off. It's probably imperative you don't see anyone until we know more.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> A loss, I'm sure, Jones.
[22:19] <13Kit> <Megumi> <C> I see..
[22:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> There anything we can do in the meantime? I know i'm not much help in the brains department.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'll call you again after we get cleared to leave. There's a chance we're infected here.
15[22:19] * 13Chad`Winters puts his hand around Aya and gently hugs her.
09[22:20] <13@Sammael> "Not much until we know more about the virus itself."
[22:20] <13Cassandra`> What about ships that have left Eart since Paladin and his group returned?
[22:20] <13Kit> <Megumi> <C> ...Take care..
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Well, if you want to volunteer to be infected, we could get a lot of results watching it start in you
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien hangs up. Aya pauses, putting an arm around Chad.
[22:20] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> No thanks.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We're trying to recall them, but our communication system has been acting up with off planet communication
[22:21] <13Cassandra`> Acting up?
15[22:21] * 13@Sammael pulls her legs up into her seat, hugging her knees as she looks at the others.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. It'd would seem someone doesn't want us to talk about our state of affairs.
09[22:22] <13@Sammael> "An intentional infection...?"
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, looking up from her scans. "Okay, we've scanned you all for what appears to be in Paladin's blood."
[22:22] <13Chad`Winters> I'm worried.
15[22:22] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks over at Eve, hugging her knees more.
[22:22] <13Cassandra`> ...I wonder if the jamming is the same as the one affecting the Ascendancy.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers over now, waiting calmly. Eve gives them a smile. "You're all clean."
[22:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a breath. 1Thank god.
15[22:23] * 13@Sammael lets out a little sigh of relief, but then looks guilty as she looks down.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin smiles. "That's a relief."
[22:24] <13Chad`Winters> You should take the infection and try it on Aya's blood. Maybe her antibodies will fight it off and you'll have something to work with
[22:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and frowns, glancing towards Paladin. 1They'll find a cure for you soon, Paladin. Don't worry about it.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> That will take a while. I'll get vials to get her blood. 6* She moves over to get as many vials as she can
15[22:25] * 13Chad`Winters pauses than looks at Aya. 1"Is that ok with you?"
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. "Yes. Of course."
[22:25] <13Kit> 6Dawn nudges Fiore. 1"... Problem. To problem."
15[22:26] * 13Chad`Winters nods. 1"Sorry for not asking first."
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Hai.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> It's okay. I just hope my blood can help.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> Location: Hotel
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on the hood of the van, as X approaches one of the doors, peering at her datapad. <X> The signal is inside.
[22:27] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pounds on the door. His shirt still over his face
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* A moment passes, then another, then the door opens, Cheryl wearing a big shirt, covered in sweat, her hair a mess. She seems to be breathing hard, too, despite not needing to breathe
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... what? 6* She eyes them all now.
[22:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sex apparently was good. But we've got a problem. 6he says through his shirt
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pauses, then puts her shirt over her face. "How can you be sure she isn't sick?"
[22:28] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel hangs back, worriedly. Not wanting to be sick.
[22:28] <13Chad`Winters> Because she always looks like this after and during sex.
[22:28] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... as if you'd know. 6* She sounds annoyed. "What's the problem?"
[22:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know sex. 6He shrugs. 1"Apparently you might be infected by something from your trip to Erusia.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh? I'm fine. Only person who was sex was Paladin and Jennifer.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> *sick
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Chii peers around the doorframe. 1"...Anything else going to go wrong with that planet..? God damn it."
[22:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We still need to gather you and your bed buddy Chii and your awesome son Ben to make sure.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at the sky, calmly
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why, what's the big deal? Did he have something worse than a cold?
[22:31] <13Kit> 6Chii twitches somewhat and narrows her eyes at Dias. 1"You know, you can quit with the bedstuff. We're like. Engaged now. Show some respect. Hrrrmph.." 6She turns to go find Ben.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, watching her go. "We're engaged?"
[22:31] <13Kit> 6Chii throws her hands up.
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Congradulations. Anyways, because he's getting worse.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves a hand to shut Dias up. "When did we get engaged? Was I drunk?"
[22:32] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Like possibly dieing worse. Why else do you think I've got my shirt over my face?
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, turning to face Dias. "He's dying?"
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods seriously, her shirt over her face, even though it shows her bra.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps out of the adjourning room with Ben. "Is there something the matter?"
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions to X. 1"So, care to join us to make sure you guys are safe?
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If we are sick, wouldn't we get you sick if we joined you?
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias motions to the shirt over his face.
[22:33] <13Kit> <Chii> Oh yeah. That'll save them.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then lowers Dias' shirt, coughing in his face, then pulls it back up. "Let me get dressed."
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias gacks and falls onto his back.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers down. "Your penis will rot off now."
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts whimpering
[22:34] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Dias' reaction, then snickers. She peers at X, blinking. Then eyes Dias and fakes a sneeze.
[22:34] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves further back at this scene
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shakes the head at their antics. Her expression remains rather blank
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> If you all are through, we should hurry to say our goodbyes to our friends who are infected and will die shortly.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks into a stand, taking his entire shirt off and wrapping it around his face completely. 1"Yes, Billy's right. Let's GO!"
[22:35] <13Ariel> Raquel> *looks to Billy* "Are... they dying?" *refering to the others*
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Some are.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs some jeans and pulls them on, not bothering with underwear or a bra. She motions to Lemon to take Ben down to the car.
[22:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and heads back down to the car
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows him. Lemon carries Ben over her shoulder, walking down after Dias.
[22:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> How ya been Lemon?
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I was almost destroyed. But now I am functional.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chii, frowning, and touches her forehead once, to make sure she's okay.
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cool. On the functional part. 6He tilts his head back to look at Ben. 1"What's up lil superhero?
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Ben> ...
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and grabs their gear they'll do, and moves down after the others. "Okay, bring me up to speed."
[22:39] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stays close to Billy, hoping she won't put herself into a posistion that'd cause herself to die, so she'd be safer.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> *need
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Ben doesn't speak right now.
[22:39] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns slightly then snaps his head forward as Cheryl catches up. 1"Erusian outbreak. You guys infected. Spread out worse. Cartel. And part of the city"
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That made no sense.
[22:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? It made perfect sense in my head...
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You made my point for me.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> Location: Erusian Ascendency
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* The formula that Ao has created has finished into a working product, at least, in theory. They still need to supply it where others can make it and mass produce it for Erusians not infected.
03[22:43] * Cassandra` is now known as Myria
[22:43] <13Myria> We need the facilities to produce it on a mass-scale.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Where would we find such facilities?
[22:43] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> We should contact the government and inform them of our status.
[22:44] <13Myria> Theron, do so.
[22:44] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods and steps off to do just that.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The house's defenses begin to pick up intruders coming onto Myria's property.
[22:44] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> So. I'm a bit confused. It's a cure but not really?
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers up now, and around.
15[22:45] * 13@Xanatos glances around slightly. He reaches for his pistols.
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron moves to a console, quickly trying to identify the attackers.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* It appears to be Myhr, armed for combat. They're currently trying to get into the house.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> We are not alone.
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron turns the defenses on and moves to get his rifle and katana.
[22:46] <13Myria> What now?!
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek hops up and glances around. 1Bout bloody time I get to hit something.
15[22:46] * 13Ariel stands, frowning. They're kept seperate from the others... but they might need help if something's wrong
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Myhr step back as the defenses begin to fire at them, then rush the house, despite the losses they'll probably incur, throwing themselves at the door.
[22:47] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron quickly moves to set up a trap for the door, hitting his comm. 1Please set yourself somewhere secure, our defenses will not hold out.
[22:48] <13Myria> Just make them go away while we work?!
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She frowns more now, sensing their determination.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* One of them finally manages to get the door open by planting as many explosives as they can manage. The defenses eradicate the remaining Myhr
[22:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron jumps back before the door explodes, bringing up his rifle, he aims towards the door, ready to fire if there are still any left.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* There aren't, but a heavy mist is spreading into the house now from the remains of the explosives, quickly moving inward.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers upward, then snaps. "I feel the virus."
[22:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron widens his eyes and turns, dashing towards the Myria's lab where the others are.
[22:50] <13Myria> *comm* Theron, get everyone back before you are exposed!
[22:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances at Myria, since Theron was the only one out there.
[22:50] <13Myria> We need to start inoculating everyone here now before the virus continues to spread.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> It won't work on anyone but the Erusians.
[22:50] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well that's bloody depressing.
[22:51] <13Myria> Whaaaaaat?
[22:51] <13@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes widen and he stands up, moving towards Erevis, but stops at the limit of the confinement.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> If we don't seal the doors, we'll be infected. 6* She springs for the door controls to Myria's lab, leaving Theron to his fate.
[22:51] <13Myria> BGut what about Theron?!
[22:51] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron continues to move for the lab, will he make it in time?
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I'm more concerned about me and Erevis, thank you very much.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Ao! You cannot be that selfish!
[22:51] <13Myria> ...he can make it!
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao hits the buttons and the doors begin to close. "Not taking that chance."
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron would dive to make it, if he could manage to do so, if not he would slide up to the door as it closes.
15[22:54] * 13Myria moves to try to hit the button to reverse the closing!
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao turns to stare as the door begins to open again. "Are you MAD?"
[22:54] <13Myria> ...its Theron!
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I am a Progenitor. You will obey me. CLose the door!
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron comes sliding into the lab, and the mist begins to drift in
[22:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and covers his mouth and closes his eyes, like that'll matter.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers over at the stairs as Theron slides into the basement.
15[22:55] * 13Myria closes the door again, engaging the environmental controls to start pushing the air back out through the doorway to blow the mist back out.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Myria Arhnya. Is there another way out of here?
[22:55] <13Myria> Move over there! *points*
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* The mist is pushed, but it's impossible to say if it will be enough.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back to the indicated spot, as does Ao.
[22:56] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves to where she pointed, still holding his face.
15[22:56] * 13Myria brings down several containment fields behind Theron as he runs in.
15[22:56] * 13Myria then bring down a field around the others to be safe.
[22:56] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron slides along the floor, slowly skidding to a stop.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches, unable to do anything.
15[22:56] * 13@Xanatos frowns, hating being helpless in all of this.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks furious at what's happened.
15[22:56] * 13Myria checks to see the progress of the mist.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's unseeable now. She might be breathing it in right now!!!
[22:57] <13Myria> Theron, inoculate yourself. *picks up an device and injects herself*
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You two should probably take the innoculation just to be safe.
[22:58] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron stands up slowly and moves to do so, a frown on his face.
15[22:58] * 13Myria hits another button, a door opening to the side of the others.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers behind herself.
[22:58] <13Myria> Take hardened lab B for your use.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao crosses her arms. "Actually, I think it's time me and Erevis got back to Earth. To find the original source. You can save your people who aren't sick with that."
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I apologize for the inconvinience. 6He says with a bow of his head.
[22:59] <13Myria> And how will you get back to Earth?
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> I'll reinstall the Light Engine. Shouldn't take that long now that we have it back.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> We will need to use the Light Engine. However, it would be necessary to have Xanatos Durran and Alpha Zephyr to pilot it. We will need to get them hazard suits.
[23:00] <13@Xanatos> You positive there's no way to tell if i'm contagious or not? Those suits always bulge up on me.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Wear it or I'll hyperspace you myself.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns at Ao once more.
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> You really don't scare me, little thing. Sorry.
[23:01] <13Myria> Theron, start making arrangements for mass-production of the serum. I'll prep the formula.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> You should be.
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods and moves to one of Myria's consoles to make the arrangements.
15[23:02] * 13Ariel scowls, hating situations like this
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> Location: Earth; Hospital
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer is in a hospital room with two others, all three sharing cold like symptons. Even SPoC is feeling a bit like she's coming down with something
03[23:02] * Sammael is now known as Jennifer`
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits beside Jennifer, doing her best to hide the fact she's not feeling perfect.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy and the others would arrive outside the hospital. X peers at the datapad, then points at the building. "Inside."
15[23:03] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her, rubbing her forehead a bit.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> IF they're inside, they're already infected.
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of the van, then peaks his shirt wrapped face back inside. 1"Seriously?"
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, then picks up her comm, trying SPoC's comm again. Being close enough to each other, SPoC's comm actually beeps.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes. But if you want to go into a hospital FULL of dying people, go right ahead. I won't let you back in the van though
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC glances down at her comm, always the good lil' soldier, and answers it. 1"Yes Cheryl?"
[23:04] <13Ariel> Raquel> *shifts towards Billy worriedly*
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, Nat. How are you and Jennifer doing?
15[23:05] * 13@Jennifer` blinks and watches Natalie, coughing a bit.
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> You mean this shirt won't protect me?
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> No, it won't.
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoCComm> Jennifer's cold seems to be getting worse and I am starting to feel different.
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias' face goes pale.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face, eyeing her comm, glancing at the others. She looks down. "You two are infected with some virus from Erusia. Dias thinks it might be lethal."
15[23:06] * 13@Jennifer` closes her eyes.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Jennifer, frowning slightly. She stands up and moves down a quiet hallway. 1"How bad is it?"
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The way Billy is acting, it's 100% lethal right now.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy leans against Freyja silently, eyeing her nails. X drops her shirt since it's useless.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoCComm> ...I see. What is required of us than?"
15[23:07] * 13@Jennifer` sighs and rolls onto her side a bit, looking over at a wall.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stay there for now. I'll let command know where you two are at, and have them move you to a new facility.
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias unwraps his shirt and slowly looks at in his pants, whimpering again
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoCComm> Understood, Cheryl. Please keep me informed.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> If you put your penis in a virgin, it'll be protected, Dias.
[23:08] <13Kit> <Freyja> Billy, what's your game this time..?
[23:09] <13Kit> 6Lilith eyes Billy, then Dias, then Billy again.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Freyja now, and sits up, looking annoyed. "What makes you think I'm playing a game?" 6* She asks coldly.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hangs up the comm, rubbing her face now. Lemon is covering Ben's ears.
[23:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think I can beat it my way. 6He climbs back into the van.
[23:09] <13Kit> <Freyja> I daresay this infection has little to do with ... ... ..penises or virgins."
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Whatever.
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets get back to the others at the Executive Building.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy looks out a side window, silent now.
[23:11] <13Kit> 6Freyja blinks, frowning at Billy's reaction.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions for Dias to drive.
[23:11] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. LEt's get going than. 6He starts the van back up and takes off
15[23:12] * 13@Jennifer` waits for SPoC to come back, looking glum.
[23:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps back in and sits down beside Jennifer.
15[23:12] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her. "She was kidding right...?"
[23:13] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Cheryl has no reason to kid.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* A gurney is led past their room, a man on it twitching and screaming in agony, blood pouring out of their eyes
15[23:14] * 13@Jennifer` watches in horror, looking back slowly at Natalie. "I..."
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> Location: Erusian Ascendency
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches as Xanatos works on reconnecting the Light Engine. Zephyr and Ariel there as well, in their protective suits, like Xanatos. Ao makes a show of enjoying the wind.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there anything I can do to assist you, Xanatos Durran?
15[23:16] * 13@Xanatos glances up slightly and nods once. 1If you could help me shift this a bit. I'm having trouble connecting this line.
[23:16] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. 6* She moves over. She takes a few tries to shift the object, her reflexes dulled.
15[23:17] * 13@Xanatos glances at her slightly as he moves to help her. 1Are you alright?
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Myria and Theron successfully get the formula for the inoculation out there. But there are still thousands of Erusians who will die if they don't find the original source from Zerith. Will the two travel to Earth?
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It has been a while since I have slept, and I have been feeling ill the last few hours. Similiar to when I was experiencing morning sickness with Isis.
[23:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and frowns. 1Are you expecting another child?
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not.
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers over at the two silently.
[23:18] <13@Xanatos> And Ao is sure that you are not infected?
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> She has not told me if I am, at least.
[23:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers towards Myria. 1I am going with the others.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Light Engine is finally reconnected to the shuttle.
15[23:19] * 13Ariel looks at her gloved hands, "...is there anything I can do to help?"
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr silently peers toward Erevis, looking a bit worried. She sighs in her suit.
15[23:19] * 13@Xanatos grunts and then finally gets the line connected. 1Just pray I plugged this up, or we're all dead anyway.
[23:19] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Up right.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be...unfortunate.,'
15[23:20] * 13@Xanatos gives Erevis a half smile and then reaches out to put a hand on her shoulder. 1If you start feeling worse, let me know. 6He glances towards Ao and then moves up to the pilot's seat.
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao steps onto the shuttle. Erevis nods once, moving inside and sitting down herself in the back. Zephyr scurries in and takes the co-pilot seat.
[23:20] <13Myria> ..what? Why?
[23:21] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> They are seeking the source of the virus. Zerith. He is my responsibility. If I hadn't went easy on him so many times before, none of this would be happening.
[23:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves up the ramp and plops down, stretching slightly.
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's a flare of dark energy coming from in the city that Drasek, Erevis, and Ao can sense.
15[23:22] * 13Ariel moves to take a seat near the front, wanting to be near to Zephyr, even if she can't sit next to her. She glances to Erevis... well, she can't sit in two places at once
[23:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and jerks up. 1The bloody hell!?
15[23:22] * 13Myria nods.
[23:22] <13Myria> Then I had better go too.
[23:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron bows his head. 1Very well.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes open wide. She turns to look out the window. Dark energy begins to fly up into the sky - one for every Erusian dead.
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao stares, unnerved.
15[23:23] * 13@Xanatos peers over his shoulder to see what Drasek is going on about when suddenly he tilts his head to look out at the Dark Energy. 1...is that Dark energy?
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is. In the thousands.
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* The sky seems to blacken, and then the beams begin to fly toward Myria's house and the shuttle area. Myria's Yloi senses can probably tell it's coming.
[23:23] <13Myria> What the?!
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks out, frowning. "Uh...this is..."
[23:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron glances up slightly and tilts his head. 1What in the?
[23:24] <13Myria> Theron..we need to evacuate now!
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos Durran. We need to escape now.
15[23:24] * 13@Xanatos reaches out to power up the shuttle quickly, not caring if it could cause them to explode.
[23:24] <13@Xanatos> Way ahead of you.
[23:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron grabs Myria's hand and rushes out towards the shuttle.
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I would prefer you get us way further ahead.
15[23:24] * 13Myria moves along with Theron!
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to power up. The Light Engine warns about possible errors.
15[23:25] * 13@Xanatos moves as quickly as he can, ignoring the errors. 1Someone close that ramp, quickly.
[23:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron runs up the ramp with Myria, closing it behind him. 1I have done so.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. She psionically pulls the switch down. Dark energy begins to slam into the ground near them, blowing holes in teh ground.
15[23:25] * 13@Xanatos jerks the shuttle up, spinning it around to blast off away from the dark energy.
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Myria's house is hit by dozens of dark energy blasts. Only a crater is left. The remaining energy continues to follow them up.
15[23:26] * 13@Xanatos tries to outrun it, moving towards Space.
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao closes her eyes.
[23:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron moves to sit down, buckling himself in.
[23:26] <13Myria> My family home?!!!
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr inputs the coordinates for Earth.
[23:26] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell that just what is that?
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The energy begins to close the distance.
15[23:27] * 13@Xanatos grits his teeth. 1We're going to be cutting it close. And I can't promise the engine will work so if it doesn't. I uh, i'm sorry about that.
15[23:27] * 13Myria slumps into a seat, growing silent.
[23:28] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron reaches over to place his hand on hers, giving her a sad frown.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> If we do not make it, I will accept your apology.
[23:28] <13Ariel> "...a chance at life is better than certain death. Just get us out of here."
[23:28] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well I bloody well won't!
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* They reach the borders of space. The energy blasts are about to hit in 3 seconds.
15[23:28] * 13@Xanatos hits the light engine button.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle groans and jerks, vanishing in a flash of light that makes them all black out. Moments later, they reawaken again, hurtling towards the space station over Earth.
15[23:29] * 13@Xanatos stirs slightly, opening an eye slowly, widing his eyes at the sight of the space station, jerking on the controls to try and pull them up.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Collision alarms ring out as they pull up, flying along the hull of the space station now down toward the planet.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head, opening her eyes. She stares in shock.
[23:30] <13@Xanatos> Oh come'on. Come'on. 6He breathes, trying to adjust the angle to that they won't burn up when they hit atmosphere, knowing that trying to pull up altogether will just cause them to fry.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> ...ungh....
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* They begin to soar through the atmosphere now, the shields holding back the heat for now.
[23:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek slowly groans, putting a hand towards his head. 1Am I dead?
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> No, you are not.
[23:31] <13@Xanatos> Ah, brilliant.
[23:31] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Drasek*
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Something feels off about Earth now. Something not right. It tingles with dark energy the Progenitors and Myria can sense.
15[23:32] * 13@Xanatos tenses, trying to slow their decent with some reverse thrusters, not wanting to come in to hot.
[23:32] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wait a minute, anyone else feel that?
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they come in closer, they can see Tokyo below.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I am feeling it. <Ao> I am, too
[23:32] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Does that mean what I think it means, then?
[23:32] <13Ariel> "...is it here too?"
[23:32] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers at them with a frown.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It would depend on what you are thinking
[23:33] <13@Xanatos> The virus has spread already.
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at the scanners, then widens her eyes. "No way..."
15[23:33] * 13@Xanatos works to level the shuttle out, then glances towards Zephyr. 1Please don't tell me i'm right.
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they get closer to Tokyo, they can see the streets are filled with paper, and cars are sitting there, not moving. No sign of people. It would seem very empty. Zephyr looks over
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm...I'm not getting life signs.
[23:34] <13@Xanatos> What? The scanner are just screwed up, try again.
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She runs it again, then shakes her head. "Nothing."
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Could the virus...have spread this fast...so soon? <Ao> No way.
15[23:35] * 13@Xanatos brings them in low, depending on his eyes instead of the scanner. 1...it sure looks like everyone is gone.
[23:35] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wait a bloody minute. If that git didn't hook up the light engine right, maybe he sent us to another one of those bloody universes?
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is possible. We will need to land in order to determine this.
[23:36] <13@Xanatos> I'll make sure the spot is cozy. 6He spins the shuttle around, bringing it down to land in the street since no one is using it.
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao hands out face masks. "In case the virus is in the air."
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Not that this will stop it, necessarily.
[23:37] <13Myria> Will there be a clue here to the source?
[23:37] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I'll take what I can, luv. 6he puts the mask on.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at her mask, then puts it on silently.
[23:37] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Do I still require one despite already using the immunity?
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> We'll find out. 6* She puts her's own, adjusting it, then hops up and moves to the ramp, yanking the lever.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> No.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets to her feet now, and Zephyr climbs up, looking dizzy and tired now.
[23:38] <13Ariel> "...I wouldn't take the chance, personally."
[23:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron nods once, accepting that before moving down the ramp.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks down the ramp, as does Ao. She moves about with her scanner, scanning the air.
[23:38] <13@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Easy Zephyr. 6He notes, standing up.
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers about, then picks up a piece of paper that floats by. It seems to be a newspaper article - still popular some what for those who don't like to read things on datapads.
15[23:39] * 13Myria pulls on a mask too just in case.
[23:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek looks towards Zephyr with a worried look..
15[23:39] * 13@Xanatos moves to step down the ramp, glancing towards Erevis. 1What's the date?
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods a few times, taking a seat to get her breath. Erevis studies the newspaper, then looks concerned.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is...a week into the future.
15[23:40] * 13Ariel moves to steady Zephyr.
[23:40] <13Myria> One week to wipe out all of the humans?
[23:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron frowns. 1Just one week? This is most troublesome.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> It's possible, with how fast the virus is mutating.
[23:40] <13Myria> And the Dark Energy...
15[23:40] * 13@Xanatos shakes his head with a frown. 1But what about the clones like me? I'm sure Alex and Eve are around here somewhere.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> <Voice> So you all managed to survive the apocalypse.
15[23:41] * 13Ariel turns to look for the source of the voice..
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns around quickly to find the voice. Standing on top of an Erusian shuttle, is Zerith. Surrounded by various Myhr.
15[23:41] * 13@Xanatos glances towards the voice, his hand sliding to his pistols, looking awkward in that suit.
[23:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron growns, placing his hand onto his katana.
[23:42] <13Myria> ...well...now we can find the source.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dark energy begins to gather in the sky - hundreds.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> That may be so, but I do not think this battle will be in our favor.
[23:42] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well bloody hell. That doesn't look good.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> We should run for it.
[23:42] <13@Xanatos> Uh, where too, exactly?
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Anywhere but here.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* More dark energy gathers as they speak.
[23:43] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Zerith you bastard. I will kill you. 6He promises. Shifting slightly to peer around for the closest escape route.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The street goes both ways, and there's many side alleys and buildings.
[23:44] <13@Xanatos> Hold them off. 6He moves to go back up the ramp to the shuttle, hoping it isn't cooled down enough so that he can do a hard start.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zerith points at them, and dark energy begins to fly down at them.
[23:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron narrows his eyes and then pulls up his rifle, firing towards them, backing up towards the shuttle.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up as the dark energy comes in. Many head right for the shuttle.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically gathers everyone she can, throwing them into the shuttle, then psionically shoves the shuttle down the street as far as she can.
15[23:45] * 13Myria backs away with Theron.
[23:45] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I don't think he'll be able to get it started in ti-6He hurks as he's shoved.
[23:45] <13Myria> EEEEEEE!
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao is thrown into the shuttle roughly. Zephyr flails comically as she's knocked about
15[23:46] * 13@Xanatos jerks back to peer. 1Erevis!
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis has been knocked back by the explosives, panting and looking winded, strands of white visible in her hair. She seems to be moving for a building.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* More dark energy follows after the shuttle, as it powers up finally
[23:47] <13@Xanatos> Godamnit...Godamnit 6He hits the controls to pull the shuttle up blasting away away from the dark energy.
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> EREVIS! 6* She screams, stumbling as the shuttle blasts up and away.
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Everyone has been reunited at the Executive Building, after their trip to gather people. Jennifer and SPoC are located in isolation as well now, each being monitored.
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks at the scans now as she studies each of their blood. Darien has his arms crossed, frowning.
[23:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits off to the side, rubbing his face, a weary look in his eyes.
[23:48] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues to stare down at his crotch.
09[23:49] <13@Jennifer`> * Sam stands by Darien, looking over them, the tiredness gone from her face, simple worry keeping her awake.
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> While Paladin is the furthest along, Jennifer's progress is moving faster than his dead, and SPoC's even faster.
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> *Did
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> So the virus is definitely mutating.
[23:49] <13Kit> <Chii> They'll all croak at roughly the same time?
[23:50] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits quietly, drawing in a notebook if she's given it
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers toward Jennifer, silently now.
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Most likely Paladin will die first, than SPoC, and then finally Jennifer.
[23:50] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> And you still haven't figured out some sort of cure? Not even something to delay it?
15[23:50] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he listens.
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No. I don't even know what we're dealing with yet.
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy speaks up, finally. "It's a dark virus."
15[23:50] * 13@Jennifer` is sitting up, looking closed as she peers down at the same page of a text book she's been pretending to study.
09[23:51] <13@Jennifer`> * Sammel slowly looks at Billy.
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander glancs over at Billy now. "Dark, as in Edgar Alan Poe dark?"
[23:51] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus throws up his hand slightly, 1More Dark One shit? I thought we took care of them.
[23:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks up to look. 1"Dark Virus?
09[23:51] <13@Jennifer`> Sammael> "I thought the Dark Ones were dealt with?"
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> *shrugs* I can just sense the Dark Ones in that virus. It was probably made by them, and then some fool used it.
[23:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And how do we beat it?
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You can't. I'd wager humanity will be gone in a week.
[23:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? 6He looks at Billy. 1"You had to just say that, didn't you?
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander muses at that silently. Darien just sits down in his face, rubbing his face now. Cheryl shakes her head.
[23:52] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a face. 1There has to be a cure. Why create a virus if you don't have a back-up cure in mind for your own people?
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> That's the facts. You will all die.
09[23:52] <13@Jennifer`> * Sammael looks over at Darien, she rubs the back of her head.
[23:53] <13Kit> <Freyja> I think their own people was exactly what was in mind.
[23:53] <13Kit> 6Freyja glances off to the side. 1"They don't really care if you die-- if they become of it."
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs a bit, rubbing his face. He's begun to bleed now, though it's not major yet.
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We know the virus began at the Erusian Ascendency. Maybe we can find a connection or link there.
[23:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe my abilities can cure it.
[23:54] <13Kit> <Freyja> If you could use them." 6She notes to Dias.
09[23:54] <13@Jennifer`> * Sammael frowns and looks at Billy, "You said... we will all die. What about you?"
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I'll live.
09[23:54] <13@Jennifer`> Sammael> "Why?"
[23:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? A cheap shot? Here I thought you were above that.
[23:54] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> She's a dark one.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> *motions at Marcus*
[23:55] <13Chad`Winters> Maybe her blood has an antibody in it that we can use.
[23:55] <13Kit> <Freyja> Huh?" 6Stares at Dias.
[23:55] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> It's a shame you can't trick the virus into thinking we're Dark Ones or something.
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> It doesn't.
09[23:55] <13@Jennifer`> * Sammael frowns more. "I... see..." *she looks at Chad, the mind reader!
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I wonder if Megumi could stop the virus with her abilities.
[23:55] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You may risk infecting her, Darien.
09[23:56] <13@Jennifer`> Sammael> "Perhaps we should get her here?"
[23:56] <13Chad`Winters> She's also carrying.
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It's true. ... 6* He looks at Aya.
09[23:56] <13@Jennifer`> * Sammael frowns. "If everyone will be infected in a week, does it matter?"
[23:56] <13Kit> <Freyja> When it has fully run its course, what will happen then, Billy?
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I'll have a buffet of souls and energy.
[23:57] <13Kit> <Freyja> I see..." 6She crosses her arms, peering away. 1"..."
[23:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> What about Cad? His powers are curing things
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps looking at Aya, then at Eve. "We'll see if Aya's blood can do anything, but we might need to risk infecting Aya to see if she can heal those three."
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> If we knew where he was at.
15[23:57] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Darien dangerously
[23:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah man I haven't seen him around in a long time.
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't glance at Chad. "A week, Chad."
[23:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have been sleeping better.
[23:58] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Can't you sense him, X?
[23:58] <13Kit> <Freyja> Might I have the sphere now, Billy?
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
[23:58] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Isn't that normally odd?
09[23:58] <13@Jennifer`> "While I do not like the idea of purposely endangering young Aya... It is better to risk then do nothing and die sitting down."
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy puts a hand to her face, then just shrugs at Freyja. "Want a buffet or something?"
09[23:59] <13@Jennifer`> NRP: Sammel
03[23:59] * Jennifer` is now known as Sammael
[23:59] <13Kit> <Freyja> It might be in vain, or infect myself, but purifying and helping others is a priestess' role. I have to do what I can.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at her, then shrugs. "Don't know where it's at, sorry. Try looking back at the house."
[23:59] <13Chad`Winters> Now I remember why I stayed in my room. 6He glances at Sam than looks at Eve. 1"We'll see what the blood tests say."
[23:59] <13Kit> 6Freyja sighs slightly. 1"I see. I will return, then."
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So we need find Caduceus, too.
[23:59] <13Kit> 6Freyja turns to go.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Tuesday, November 4th 2008.
Session Time: Tue Nov 04 00:00:00 2008
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches Freyja in concern, sighing.
[00:00] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well knowing Cad, he's probably either in a Franciscos' Bar for Men or he's been captured by VI.
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess that means going back to Cassandra's place and see if we can find clues in Caduceus's room
[00:00] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ah crap.
15[00:01] * 13@Sammael sits down next to Darien.
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the HoloVid suddenly turns on, beginning to play from a hijacked outside source. Alexander and Eve both turn.
[00:01] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> God we'll be digging through Dias' porn for hours.
[00:01] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> If only.
15[00:01] * 13@Sammael looks up at the holovid.
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zerith's face apperas. "People of Earth. My name is Zerith. As many of you have begun to experience it, there's a new virus running loose on your planet. It is a virus made from the legacy of the Dark Ones that you so recently beat. This virus, I assure you, is 100% lethal. 6* He shows images of Myhr dying in agony
[00:02] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias crosses his arms as he watches the holovid now.
15[00:02] * 13Chad`Winters closes his eyes as he listens.
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> If you want a cure, then you will provide me with the monetary value I request, but rest assured, only a limited number of you will receive it. Let the bidding begin, shall we?"
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The holovid comes to an end.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds his teeth. "What fuck is he trying to do?" <Alexander> Create mass panic, I'd say.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> *her
[00:03] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...or make a lot of money in the process.
09[00:03] <13@Sammael> "Think he really has a cure?"
[00:03] <13Chad`Winters> Odd's are he'll take the money and not give it.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It's better than anything else we got to go on. We need to find this Zerith guy, too, now.
[00:04] <13Chad`Winters> But does it really matter, he could just wait until everyones dead and take the money
09[00:04] <13@Sammael> "It doesn't make sense for him to offer anything for what he can just take."
[00:04] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Then we should find him and kill him. Oh and get the cure before we do that killing thing.
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Cran's right. I'd go with mass panic. Making our jobs harder.
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I'll see if we can trace the source. Eve, get people on quelling the chaos, and study Aya's blood. Dias, go back to your room, see if you can find Caduceus.
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* He moves out
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> Darien, we should try to find Zerith.
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You're right. The question is now - how?
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
