[21:00] <13@DeathStar> -0-
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.21 - 1 day later -
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of D
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in the living room, having gathered his team together - Ao. Erevis. Megumi. Xanatos. Chad. Aya. Fiore. Dawn. Drasek.
15[21:02] * 13@Xanatos sits on the arm of the couch, hand pressed against his leg, keeping himself propped up.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, it's time to decide how we want to proceed. Do we go to Alexander for information, or not?
[21:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands there with his arms crossed, he glances around at the others, looking to see what they decide.
15[21:03] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"Well, what are the benefits of doing it?"
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis craddles Isis in hand, silent for now, still tired.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Better equipment. And maybe we can get some insight into where these clones are coming from.
[21:04] <13Chad`Winters> And what are the drawbacks?
[21:04] <13@Xanatos> We're on our own, following blind leads.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You have a problem with him.
[21:04] <13Chad`Winters> So?
[21:04] <13Chad`Winters> If it's the best course of action than we go to him.
[21:04] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Regardless I would prefer to go to Alexander along with Ao. With her help I may discover something there in the labs.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Nothing against you two, but I'd rather we all go.
[21:05] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Fact is mate, Alexander has always helped us out, despite your problems with him. I don't see why we should not go to him with this now.
[21:05] <13@Xanatos> It's not like he doesn't know about it. I informed Eve of the situation.
[21:05] <13Chad`Winters> Than it's settled and we goto him.
04[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into the room, having been peering in at Sammael.
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances up towards Zephyr, tilting his head. 1She doing ok, bit?
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> She looks okay now and could get on her feet. Probably.
15[21:06] * 13@Sammael is resting quietly in her bed, datapad on however, she keeps using it as she wakes from time to time, her work looks like pure gibberish if anyone's glanced at it.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Right. Well, who all is going, then? All of us?
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I'd guess so, mate. Unless you've got other things in mind?
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> It's not like I have much of a choice.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Well, do we really want to take Isis and Aya near Cran?
[21:08] <13Chad`Winters> They'd be safer there than alone here when you think about it.
[21:08] <13@Kit> <Megumi> ...Is there a problem with that I should be aware of, Darien?
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Fair enough, mate. But being seperated really doesn't work to our advantage, does it?
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Granted. No problem, Megumi. We'll take the new car I got you.
[21:09] <13@Kit> <Megumi> You... got me a car?
[21:09] <13@Kit> 6Megumi jerks. 1"I cannot accept something like that!"
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, fishing into his suit to get his keys. "Yeah. It's cheaper if I just provide them for you at this point."
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> Nice. Can papa Darien buy me a new shuttle?
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> No.
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> Ho hum. 6He says, pushing himself to his feet.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I don't think Sam's in condition to be going, after being hurt yesterday. Someone should probably stay here to look at her. 6* He eyes Ao darkly, who ignores him
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not me.
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well bloody hell, let's not all volunteer at once.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore seems to be unusually chipper to go on a mission now
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> Maybe Chad could. He hates Cran after all.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs, a hand on his face
15[21:11] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Xan and rolls his eyes
15[21:11] * 13@Xanatos gives Chad a smile.
04[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> We'll all go. Sammael will just have to cope.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Dawn, can you get her ready for me?
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sighs and stands. 1No, I can watch her, mate. If it's really going to be a problem.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> If someone is shooting at us, I want you there as a human shield for Isis and Erevis.
[21:12] <13@Kit> <Dawn> ...Ready?
[21:12] <13@Ariel> "...it is an important role."
[21:12] <13@Kit> 6Dawn blinks a few times, then rubs his head and nods.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Get her dressed and out of the bed.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Better than your role, luv. 6He gives her a look, hmphing.
[21:13] <13@Kit> 6Dawn looks to Fiore and hangs his head.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, peering up from Isis toward Drasek. "I will attempt not to be shot at for you sake."
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore rises and moves to her room to get ready for the mission. Aya stands up now herself.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> It's no problem, luv. It really seems to be what i'm being paid for anyway.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'm sure if you're shot, Fiore will tend to you personally.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien heads for the front yard to get the big van he got for Megumi ready
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> That's my plan mate. 6He gives Darien a nod.
15[21:14] * 13Chad`Winters stands up himself, already in his tact suit as per the usual lately. 1"You ready, Aya?"
15[21:14] * 13@Xanatos glances at them then moves to step out.
[21:15] <13@Kit> <Megumi> I-It is a van..
[21:15] <13@Kit> 6Dawn follows Fiore firsty, then exits the twins' room all maid-like and heads for Sam's.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> What? You don't like it?
[21:15] <13@Kit> <Megumi> ... ...I... I am... grate... ful.
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> You're starting a big family, Megumi. You'll need this.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises and moves out with Isis, who seems to mouth at her breats. She allows her, letting her hair fall down in a manner to hide it somewhat. Zephyr hops out after Megumi
15[21:16] * 13@Sammael peeks at Dawn from under her covers as he steps in, eyeing him carefully.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You hate it. Fine. I'll get something else.
15[21:16] * 13@Ariel chuckles some at the thought of Megumi as a soccer mom.
15[21:16] * 13Chad`Winters eyes his daughter for a moment
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya seems to be distracted, but pauses, glancing at Chad . "Yes."
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps outside, peering at the van. 1I think I saw one of those full of serial killers once.
[21:17] <13Chad`Winters> You sure? 6He studies his daughter for a moment.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> .... .... 6* He sighs. "Fine. Pick the vehicle you want and I'll get that."
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. 6* She nods, smiling, and moves to go, having her tactical suit ready already
15[21:17] * 13@Sammael continues to stare at Dawn.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien gets into the driver's seat. Instead of hanging dice, he put hanging kittens
15[21:17] * 13Chad`Winters follows after his daughter now.
15[21:18] * 13@Xanatos shakes his head slightly, moving to get in the passengers seat.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore exits after a moment, her hair in a ponytail, wearing some of Dawn's tactical gear, and moves to follow them
[21:18] <13@Xanatos> Oh those are cute. 6He points.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts to get into the back of the van. Erevis tilts her head and steps into the van, holding Isis to her chest as the baby attempts to feed. She checks her carry bag for items for Isis
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek gets into the back of the van, glancing around. 1Bloody hell this thing is like a house on wheels.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao finally steps out, having stolen some of Drasek's cake. She moves over and promptly takes the middle seat of the van
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It's why I picked it.
15[21:19] * 13@Sammael frowns a little as Dawn stands there doing nothing.
15[21:19] * 13@Ariel moves to sit in the back, eyeing the kitten decoration as she sits. "...I wonder if this thing is street legal."
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and eyes Ao. 1HEY!
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers toward Drasek
04[21:19] <13@Kit> 6Dawn stares back at Sammael-- then sees if he can just implant the idea of getting dressed.
15[21:19] * 13Chad`Winters gets into the van after Aya and takes a seat
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> That was mine. You should share, luv. 6He holds his hand out.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Sam WOULD feel an urge to get dressed
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> No.
15[21:20] * 13@Sammael holds her head and whimpers at him, then gets up, getting dressed right in front of him.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya picks a window seat, so only one person is next to her.
[21:20] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Selfish little ponce. 6He grumbles, crossing his arms.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao takes a big bite of cake, chewing it loudly
15[21:20] * 13@Sammael finishes and moves to the other side of her bed, hiding behind it.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore gets into the van in the back as well with Drasek and Zephyr
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* She gives Zephyr an evil eye
15[21:21] * 13Chad`Winters rolls a pill bottle along his fingers as he sits beside Aya, his eyes closed.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek eyes Ao darkly, obvious to any evil eyes.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> NRP: oblivious*
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien picks up his comm, clicking it to Dawn's channel. "Allighieri, what's taking so lon?g?"
15[21:21] * 13@Ariel eyes the evil eye giver
15[21:22] * 13@Xanatos just watches them all, turned in his seat so he can do so.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore doesn't glance Ariel's way; Zephyr holds up her hands. "Um, he's all yours?"
[21:22] <13@Kit> 6Dawn eyes his comm, then turns to see her hiding and sighs. 1"...Difficult."
[21:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and glances towards Zephyr. 1What?
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Fine. Come without her.
[21:22] <13@Kit> 6Dawn squints and sees about imprinting 'follow.'
09[21:23] <13@Sammael> "Prickling in the mind... stop that..." *she whimpers again and moves to follow him*
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> N-Nothing. 6* Fiore is looking all blank like again
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances around, confused, but at least he seems to have forgotten about Ao.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis places a baby bag in Chad's lap as she shifts to get Isis room to do her thing.
15[21:24] * 13@Xanatos smiles slightly and then glances ahead. 1You seem to be having a bad month, Darien.
15[21:24] * 13Chad`Winters opens his eyes, looking down at the baby bag, he shifts the pill bottle into his belt.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers into the rear view mirror at Ariel.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah...
[21:24] <13@Kit> 6Megumi sits in the back, sighing over her selfish moment.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Chad Winters, then tilts her head. "Hm. I believe today the tables are 'turned' as they say."
15[21:24] * 13@Sammael presumably follows Dawn outside.
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> What do you mean?
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> You don't seem to happy about working with Cran either. This have anything to do with that Thomas business?
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Erevis shifts to hand him Isis after she finishes eating. "Please hold her for a moment." 6* She gets her bag now.
15[21:25] * 13@Xanatos says in a low voice.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> We'll see.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The group is currently in the lobby area, having been waiting for nearly 30 minutes at this point. Erevis holds Isis again now, her eyes closed, rocking the baby silently. Zephyr paces about.
15[21:26] * 13@Xanatos has resorted to waving his hand in front of his synthetic eye, probably shifting through different optics.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes the elevator doors. "I say we force our way in. How dare he make us wait. My time is valuable."
15[21:27] * 13@Sammael sits a little bit aways, in her seat hugging her knees, she looks down at the ground most of the time.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Xanatos, standing there, just staring at him, arms crossed.
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits beside Fiore, leaned back to relax, used to Cran doing this.
15[21:27] * 13@Ariel rests against the wall, "You know... I think this is the first time Cran has made us wait this long. Something must be up."
15[21:27] * 13Chad`Winters leans against a wall, a neutral look on his face as he waits, the bottle back out and rolling along his fingers
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> He probably needs vicodin to tolerate our presence.
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> I can always go outside.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances toward Chad when Darien says this. Aya looks uncomfortable.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> If I were Warren, I'd say something quirky and assholeish.
[21:28] <13Chad`Winters> I keep wishing. 6He holds up his free hand, his two fingers crossed
15[21:28] * 13@Xanatos laughs once. 1You two are precious.
15[21:29] * 13@Xanatos looks up, his eye sliding from a green to a normal look.
15[21:29] * 13@Sammael mumbles something and then looks at her arm, sad to find it clean today. She sighs and looks towards a wall.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers over at Xanatos now, deadpanning. "I'd say something about how embarassing it was to be shot by a guy who's fascinated by his hand."
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> Please. I'm just keeping myself entertained.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open and Eve Summers steps out, her hair tied back, and she's wearing a business suit attire.
15[21:30] * 13@Ariel laughs a little, "Maybe this is why he's not so eager."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Exactly.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances over as Eve moves over to them. Aya peers at her, then peers to the side. Zephyr stops pacing finally.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I'm sorry for the wait.
[21:30] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Miss summers...
15[21:30] * 13@Sammael doesn't look over, zoned out probably.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Megumi. 6* She smiles warmly. Ao just glares at her, annoyed with her. <Eve> What can I help you all with?
[21:31] <13@Xanatos> Are you being serious, Eve?
15[21:31] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Eve for a second and puts an arm around Aya, hugging her gently
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Of course.
15[21:31] * 13@Xanatos rubs his neck silently, tilting his head oddly. 1You should know why we're here.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> The incident yesterday?
[21:32] <13@Xanatos> It deals with that, yeah.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Well, explain to me what exactly I can do for you, and we'll go from there.
15[21:32] * 13@Xanatos glances towards Darien now, seeing if he wants to go into it.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his fingers against his arms. Aya gives Chad a brief smile, then peers at Eve.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'll let you, Durran. After all, the clones talked to you; they just tried to kill the rest of us.
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> Us, the clones. 6He says, referring to himself and Eve. 1Apparently not only us, but all of the other clones that are out there are beginning to die. An odd mutation from the Dark Virus.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts Isis in her arms once more, peering over.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Most likely the clones died because they were hapharzardly made. The fact they were all you ages means accelerated growth and development, which leads to errors.
[21:35] <13Chad`Winters> Their death's mimiced the final stages of the Dark Virus almost perfectly.
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> No, they tried to get me to join them, they're trying to get a cure, or find one, i'm not sure. But she seemed pretty adament that it wasn't an error, that it was a mutation.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> And you can't be sure they weren't lied to get them to cooperate. As for the final stages, yes, we saw footage, but the virus did not act that quickly.
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> Hence the term Mutation, Eve. Since when do we ignore things based on assumptions?
09[21:36] <13@Sammael> "Mutants don't act like the being they're born from... never the same..."
[21:36] <13@Ariel> "Do we know why clones were unaffected by the virus originally?"
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> Well we know VI' involved because they targetted Aya, Dawn, Fiore and X.
[21:37] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Miss Summers it would not hurt to do an investigative study. With help of Durran and yourself, and Ao's experience with the virus, we may or may not find something.
15[21:37] * 13@Sammael loses her moment of clarity to look up at the ceiling.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Apparantly the error in clones DNA provided them with protection from the actual effects. But the fact remains we don't have tissue from these clones.
15[21:37] * 13Chad`Winters studies Eve now.
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> I think the point of this all is to test me, and possibly yourselves, to make sure you're not infected.
15[21:37] * 13@Ariel pauses, thinking of all the bodies left behind. "They... self-destructed that completely?"
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Ashes.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve peers at Xanatos, then nods. "We'll take a sample of your blood if you want."
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Just like those other blokes we've been fighting.
[21:38] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Miss Summers I would prefer to test you as well. I would not like it very much if something were to happen to you.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve turns to go for the elevator, then pauses, peering at Megumi. "Alright. If you don't mind, only a few of you come along - the lab has delicate equipment."
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao nods, and moves forward, apparantly going even if no one else wants her.
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I'll be here then. 6He waves.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'm going
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves for the elevator.
15[21:39] * 13@Xanatos stands up, still eyeing Eve carefully, before giving Darien an odd look, but not about him going. He just moves along after her now.
[21:40] <13@Kit> 6Megumi steps forward, having been there before.
[21:40] <13Chad`Winters> Darien. 6He nods to him
15[21:40] * 13@Sammael gets up, wandering over quietly.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers over at Chad to see if they should go
09[21:40] <13@Sammael> "I can help."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You stay here.
15[21:40] * 13@Ariel starts to go, then notices the number of people and hesitates.
15[21:40] * 13@Sammael blinks and nods, she moves over to a wall and sits down by it.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes to follow Megumi. Erevis sits with Isis, nodding once to Megumi
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell. I say i'm staying and they all jump to go, don't they luv? 6He looks to Fiore.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Curious lot.
15[21:41] * 13Chad`Winters mores over to Darien, leaning in close to him.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve opens the elevator doors with a card and steps in, Ao moving in as well.
15[21:41] * 13@Xanatos steps in, leaning against the elevator wall.
15[21:41] * 13@Sammael resumes hugging her legs, she pulls out her datapad though and starts looking over the mess of equations she was working on.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Not coming? Your department.
15[21:42] * 13@Ariel goes to sit by Erevis, not wanting to crowd. "I wouldn't be much help in a lab... no use crowding to satisfy my curiousity."
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> That is why I am remaining behind as well. And I do not wish to awaken Isis
15[21:42] * 13Chad`Winters eyes how many are going.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien adjusts his suit and steps in after Zephyr and Megumi
04[21:42] <13@Kit> 6Dawn stares at Sammael. 1"...Useless."
[21:43] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Dawn. Cut it out. 6He notes, giving him an eye, having been smiling to Fiore.
15[21:43] * 13@Sammael looks up at Dawn, she simply stares back, if she feels hurt from it she's already too depressed for it to show.
15[21:43] * 13Chad`Winters motions for Aya to come and he moves to step onto the elevator.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, then follows after him, getting onto the elevator. Eve hesitates a bit as the two get on, then hits the floor for the labs.
15[21:44] * 13Chad`Winters shifts the pill bottle into his belt, letting it rest on his hip for a moment.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Eve a stink eye
[21:45] <13@Kit> 6Dawn shrugs at Drasek, peering at Fiore instead. 1"..."
[21:45] <13@Kit> <Dawn> ...Gear.
15[21:45] * 13@Xanatos watches Eve, curiously, arching a brow slightly.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peers at Dawn now
[21:45] <13@Xanatos> Can I ask why you're so aprehensive about this all, Eve? You don't really seem like you want to get involved.
15[21:46] * 13@Sammael stops staring at him to stare up at the ceiling, somewhere else again.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doors open for Eve and the others, and they step off into one of the many labs. "Hm. Maybe not."
15[21:46] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he steps off after Eve, his eyes peering about.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao hops into the lab, eyeing it with a sniff of disdain
[21:47] <13@Xanatos> But if this does affect us, it is better to know now and try to find a cure, instead of being oblivious, right? 6He steps out.
[21:47] <13Chad`Winters> Trusting considering we could be clones.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> A clone could never replace you effectively, Chad.
[21:48] <13Chad`Winters> Probably not. 6He glances at some equipment.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve moves to some lab equipment now, then addresses Xanatos. "And if there is a disease, what then? Outside yourself, Xanatos, I see little reason for you all even wanting a cure."
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya walks in, peering about quietly.
[21:48] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Hm. The clones lacked some of our inherent features. If it were a show of genuine pedigree, that's easy to achieve.
[21:48] <13@Xanatos> They all love me. That much. 6He notes sarcastically, crossing his arms.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops onto a counter.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve gets a shot ready, motioning Xanatos over.
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> They either already have a cure, or they're not worried about getting infected.
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps over to her, rolling up his sleeve.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Like I said, outside yourself, I see little reason for you all to be here. 6* She repeats, indicating everyone but Xanatos.
[21:49] <13@Kit> <Megumi> I am concerned." 6She looks hurt.
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> She's talking about me.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve injects him and some blood, then labels it with an X, then gets a second one ready to give herself the same process. "I'm talking about all of you. Megumi aside, since I believe she cares, the rest of you have no vested interest in finding a cure. Even if there is a disease, which I'm not convinced."
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Well, it's true, I don't care. I'm just here to win points.
[21:51] <13@Xanatos> Darien wants answers, it's that simple. Chad, Chad just believes this leads to VI, so he wants to bring them down, for his daughters sake. Right?
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> My point.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya stands behind Chad now. Zephyr looks even moer annoyed with Eve
[21:51] <13Chad`Winters> If that's what you want to believe. 6He rests his hand behind his neck now.
[21:52] <13@Xanatos> Oh, I was wrong. Chad really cares about me.
[21:52] <13Chad`Winters> You did visit me while I was detoxing. 6He notes.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* She begins to put the blood into the machine, setting the parameters for the Dark Virus and begins a scan. She glances over at Chad, then at the blood again
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I apologize. It's nice to see you all care for Xanatos.
[21:53] <13@Xanatos> Makes a guy feel really good about himself. 6He notes.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Next he'll talk Erevis back into being with him using this a tear jerker.
[21:53] <13@Xanatos> Well there goes that plan. 6He notes with a dramatic sigh.
[21:54] <13Chad`Winters> We already know how that ends, Xan. Probably safer if you didn't.
[21:54] <13@Xanatos> God knows I'll go off and die again.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blood sample begins to produce results. Eve points. "Here is the dormant Dark Virus. It's not changed, nor is it mutating or progressing."
[21:54] <13Chad`Winters> Doesn't mean it won't.
15[21:55] * 13@Xanatos glances towards it, tilting his head. 1I was infected with the advanced strain of the virus. Is it still ineffective, too?
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Yes. We gave you the cure just like everyone else, and it made the virus go dormant.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao taps her chin, peering at the virus readouts
[21:56] <13@Xanatos> Hmmm. So it's not mutated, at least, not yet. But being dormant, doesn't that just make me a time bomb?
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We can't remove it from you, but I don't believe it will come back.
[21:57] <13Chad`Winters> What if it's triggered by something.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his face, fingers brushing against his stubble. "Yet the virus vanished from everyone else..."
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> Well I am a clone. Maybe since i'm not completely human anymore, Ao's cure didn't work?
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> If you all want to run a battery of tests, you can go ahead. Trust me, we've been doing it since the virus showed up.
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> Well, not completely. 6He adds.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> You're human. A flawed human. 6* She types the keys, looking for something other than the virus
[21:58] <13@Xanatos> All humans are flawed. 6He says sourly.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> You're more so. Be glad. See all your DNA damage? 6* She points at all the markers highlighting now. A lot of them in fact. Eve pauses, peering at it, then closes her eyes, as if Ao pointed out something she didn't want to talk about
15[21:59] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Eve's reaction. 1"You know something."
[21:59] <13@Xanatos> Does that mean i'm melting again? 6He uses melting to refer to what happened to him before Legion.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at the screen layouts, then at Eve.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> ... 6* She just takes a seat now. "No. You're fine."
15[22:00] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms again. 1"But..."
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No buts. Xanatos is fine. His time as Legion has made it where no matter how damaged his DNA becomes, it'll be repaired in some way. It's how he's been slowly getting abilities he shouldn't have.
15[22:00] * 13@Xanatos eyes her carefully, afraid to ask now.
[22:01] <13@Xanatos> Wait. So am I turning back into Legion?
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Xanatos now. Zephyr looks lost as hell.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Whatever Erevis did when she pulled you of Legion, it seems, intentionally or not, she set you up to be fine in your upcoming days. The Dark Virus isn't going to affect you.
[22:02] <13Chad`Winters> But it'll effect the other clones
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No. Not exactly.
15[22:03] * 13@Xanatos rubs his neck, looking pretty confused.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao casually begins to look at Eve's data
[22:03] <13Chad`Winters> And you and Alexander?
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve doesn't comment. She instead redirects it. "Clones are dying, yes. Their make up is degrading. My guess is that's why whoever is doing this is sending them out in full mass - they're about to be useless."
15[22:04] * 13@Xanatos mouths abilities and glances to his hand. Silent.
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> Don't deflect.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Our state of health isn't open for discussion
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> That bad, huh? 6He studies her again
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Not for discussion.
[22:05] <13@Xanatos> Ok, so is there anything in my messed up DNA that could potentially help you? 6He speaks up, looking up to Eve.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks his teeth like Chad does.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> I'm guessing Alex is worse than you.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao brings up her data - she has as many errors as Xan, if not more.
[22:05] <13@Xanatos> Chad. Just drop it. We get the point now.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve rises and reaches over, tapping a key to close the terminal on Ao, who eyes her
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Well. I'm sorry this won't help you find V.I.
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> How much time do you two have?
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks at Chad. "I'm not going to satisfying your curiousity, Chad."
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> It's not about curiosity.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Then what's it about?
[22:07] <13Chad`Winters> Trying to change.
15[22:07] * 13@Xanatos eyes Chad carefully, then nods once to that, about to say something similar.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve stares at him a moment, then shakes her head. "Things don't change. Especially people." 6* She comments, then moves to the elevator, reaching for her card.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at the floor, her expression troubled, not liking what she's feeling probably. Ao crosses her arms, rocking back and forth
[22:08] <13Chad`Winters> People don't change because they're afraid too. Because they're afraid they won't like what they will become, because of the unknown.
[22:09] <13Chad`Winters> Doesn't mean they can't.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Chad.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Doesn't mean they will. 6* She slides her card through the reader, the elevator doors opening.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Xanatos for a moment now.
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> Doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying.
[22:10] <13@Xanatos> I know it may be a blind leap. But I think it's worth looking into, this whole cure business. I'm sure whoever is using them is wanting to cure them, else lose his or her precious clone army.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We've already researched the degradation and know what can and can't be done. I appreciate the ... thought... but we'll decline. It was decided long ago that we weren't going to mingle in each other's lives. If I were you, I'd try to find out who is sending the clones, and why they want the people they're after. The clone army isn't important, it's whoever needs them.
[22:12] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Miss Summers, I cannot accept that.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> If you researched it, then I'm betting you know what can help stop it.
[22:13] <13Chad`Winters> I'm guessing DNA from a close relative.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Megumi, you have other things to worry about. Erevis might be in danger as well - her body is made up from Katrina's. Focus on your family.
[22:13] <13@Xanatos> Why a close relative? To fix the broken links?
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Or maybe the original source material.
15[22:14] * 13Chad`Winters nods to Darien. 1"Replace the bad with the good."
15[22:14] * 13@Xanatos pauses and his eyes widen slightly. 1Wait. But Wind brought them apart. She's not a clone. She wouldn't be in danger.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> But then the question is why Dawn. Fiore. And A...ya...
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Eve a moment, then steps into the elevator, ready to head back down
15[22:15] * 13@Xanatos eyes Darien oddly, then looks to Chad, moving to step into the elevator, his eyes still showing that he's worried about Erevis.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks at Xanatos. "Better look into it." 6* She moves to go out another door.
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> I plan on it.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops off the table counter now, peering at Megumi now. Aya looks after Eve as she goes.
15[22:16] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Darien than at Eve as she moves towards another door. 1"You could've asked for help. Simple as that."
[22:16] <13@Kit> <Megumi> If I had known I would have been working all along.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks back at Chad. "It's never that simple. You wanted Alexander out of your life. It's being done."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao steps into the elevator, not looking too worried for Erevis, probably thinking clone death above her, as Xanatos said.
[22:18] <13Chad`Winters> I didn't want the same thing he wanted.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We've gone over this many, many times, Chad. 6* She opens the door. "Watch out for your own, we'll do the same." 6* She steps through and closes it.
15[22:19] * 13Chad`Winters stands there a moment then puts an arm around Aya. 1"I guess we go than."
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> It's sad. How much it hurts to look at us. 6* She murmurs, peering at the door, then at Chad, moving for the elevator
[22:21] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah, it does. 6He says softly as he moves with her
15[22:21] * 13@Xanatos puts a hand to his face, rubbing it slowly. 1I hope you've got a new idea, Darien.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien taps a button to go down to the lobby. "Yeah, that maybe Alexander is sending goons after us to get himself some original source DNA?"
[22:22] <13@Kit> 6Megumi hits the stop button.
15[22:22] * 13Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"I don't think so."
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi now
15[22:22] * 13@Xanatos glances around at them, then eyes Megumi.
[22:23] <13@Kit> 6Megumi pushes for the doors to open, twitching somewhat. 1"I want to help Eve, and I do not believe that at all."
[22:23] <13@Xanatos> And what about Erevis!? You'll just let her die if she's really degrading?
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi now. "Should I make sure Erevis isn't falling apart while you go after someone who doesn't want our help?"
[22:24] <13@Kit> <Megumi> I would doubt beloved falls under the same circumstances-- and if she is, then solving one would assist the other regardless.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> When it comes down to it, Alexander is a clone of Cran, and the only thing close to that is Chad and Aya.
[22:24] <13@Xanatos> Let her go. Maybe then Erevis will see that I love her more. 6He notes with anger in his voice.
[22:24] <13Chad`Winters> And everytime I've run into VI, they've wanted me dead.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> So many they think Aya's better
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes the ground, trying to tune things out. Zephyr moves over and gives her a hug
[22:25] <13Chad`Winters> She only shares a quarter of Cran DNA, Eve'd benefit more from her. 6He runs hish and along his hair. 1"Cloning's obvioulsy a difficult process, right?"
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> V.I. returned at the same time this Alexander clone appeared. I don't deal in coincidences.
[22:26] <13@Kit> 6Megumi moves off after closing her eyes, then turns and hits the close button outside so it'll leave.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi as the doors shut
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> God damn I hope this proves a point to Erevis.
15[22:27] * 13Chad`Winters looks at Darien
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Doubt it. 6* She pauses a moment, then turns into her hyper form, leaping through the door and burning an Ao shape hole, then goes back to normal, following Megumi
15[22:27] * 13@Xanatos crosses his arms, clearly angry.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien puts a hand to his face. "Awesome." 6* The doors open at the lobby, where guards eye them, apparantly being told not to mind the damage caused.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the elevator now, looking annoyed.
15[22:29] * 13@Xanatos steps out quickly moving towards the door. 1Come'on, we're leaving. 6He tells those sitting.
15[22:29] * 13@Sammael sits still where she was left, eyes off her datapad which sits on the floor next to her, inspecting the floor with a keen interest.
[22:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits up slightly, tilting his head. 1He dying or something?
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there, then eyes the ceiling, then steps off and follows them.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> He is angry, but not about himself. 6* She surmises, opening her eyes
[22:29] <13@Kit> 6Dawn tilts his head at the group, then shifts to be by Fiore.
15[22:29] * 13@Ariel stands, "That was abrupt. Well... I'm sure you'll fill us in."
[22:29] <13Chad`Winters> Come on, honey. 6He steps off
15[22:30] * 13@Xanatos steps out completely, moving for the van.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, knocked out of her thinking, then moves after them. Zephyr stops to tell Erevis what happened.
[22:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands up. 1Yeah? Wonder what happened.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien watches Xanatos go, then moves to follow him outside the building, apparantly wanting to get out of there.
15[22:30] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks up, as if only noticing so late that they're all back, mostly, she stands up and does a small headcout. "Ao and Megumi are missing."
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> Darien.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yes?
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> I'm thinking this leads back to your Thomas.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> The mysterious man from 300 years ago?
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek tilts his head oddly, glancing to Zephyr, listening in.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is still inside, sitting by Erevis, the two speaking
09[22:32] <13@Sammael> "Connect the dots." *she starts to wander outside*
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore moves to walk after the others.
[22:32] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek is still inside too.
15[22:32] * 13@Sammael stops before she reaches the door and spins around to look at those remaining, then slightly over their shoulders as though something else has taken her complete interest.
15[22:33] * 13@Xanatos leans on the van, arms crossed and his eyes on the ground.
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> We know Hashen cloned himself. Well, someone had to teach him the process.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once as Zephyr finishes talking, and closes her eyes
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> We assume he cloned himself. Since Cran looked a lot like him
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> And Thomas before them, by 300 years
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Revi. We probably should have you checked out, if Eve was telling the truth.
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> Well let's go off that assumption.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be remaining here. There is equipment here just the same.
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Should I stay, then? If Darien is right, you might want me here to protect Isis.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, what's your theory? 6* Aya leans against the van, peering at the two men
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> If you desire to do so. Alpha Zephyr is staying as well
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods once, obviously staying.
15[22:35] * 13@Sammael tilts her head. "Many faces for but one man, all the same through time."
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks annoyed as Sam chatters on.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> We know that Hashen disappeared and Cran appeared. But we don't know what happened to him.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> It could be that he's still alive.
15[22:36] * 13@Sammael doesn't notice at the moment, she quickly becomes silent as her thoughts travel away again, she moves to the van quietly.
15[22:36] * 13@Xanatos looks up. 1You think he's the once behind VI, don't you?
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> That's assuming he didn't put his personality into a new clone. If that's the case, then Hashen would be dead.
15[22:36] * 13@Ariel looks to Zephyr uncertainly, "...you have something in mind?"
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm staying here. Erevis and Meg are here.
[22:36] <13Chad`Winters> We assume the personality is transfered and not copied.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It would be dangerous to have the original one around if you copy it
[22:37] <13Chad`Winters> Considering how ambitious Cran was, would you put it past Hashen?
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Tell me, if you had a clone of yourself with all the same memories, would you not want them eliminated before they got in you way?
15[22:37] * 13@Ariel nods slowly, "Alright... keep me informed. I'll let you know if anything comes up on our end." She smiles, trying to mask her concern, and heads for the van.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods once to Ariel
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> Cran was eliminated.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Or was he - we saw him got whacked off twice.
[22:38] <13@Xanatos> Multiple Clones, I assume?
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we know Alexander was probably meant to be his newest body. Clearly he didn't take it. Unless Alexander is faking it
09[22:39] <13@Sammael> "Is there a way to tell?" *she blinks, out of her haze again*
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peers upward as they talk
[22:39] <13@Kit> <Dawn> Oneesama?
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Hai?
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Not that I know of.
[22:40] <13Chad`Winters> Cran did have Spade, I wouldn't put it past him to have something up his sleeve.
[22:40] <13@Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He just peers at her, like inquiring to her opinion.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore appears to have none
[22:40] <13@Xanatos> I belive we should find the source of this VI nonsense. It'll probably solve most of our question.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Or will it. The head of it remains ever elusive.
15[22:41] * 13@Xanatos seems to be wanting to leave, like being near the building is causing a deep anger to boil in him.
[22:41] <13Chad`Winters> I'm just thinking we're dealing with either Hashen or Cran. They'd benefit more from my deaths in keeping Alexander near his death bed.
[22:41] <13@Xanatos> I'm talking about all of it. A mountain only goes so high.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> They're clones. They'd be just a liable as anyone else.
15[22:41] * 13@Ariel gets into the van and plops down with a bit of a sigh.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> *as
09[22:41] <13@Sammael> "Liable, but without care to live."
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien puts a finger to a pressure point at Sam's comment, irritated more
15[22:42] * 13@Sammael shudders, remembering what she saw a clone of Darien do the day before.
[22:42] <13Chad`Winters> How many time do you think a person could shave off by mixing light speed runs with hyperspace jumps?
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Not enough
15[22:42] * 13@Sammael looks up at Darien, then down again, falling back into silence.
[22:43] <13@Ariel> "...so do we know if this is related to the anti-virus or something else at least?"
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It probably trigged it.
[22:43] <13Chad`Winters> We know that Thomas landed on Megumi's planet. For him to get back, if we go with the thought that he made it back, he could've used short hyperspace jumps and ran at near the speed of light.
[22:43] <13Chad`Winters> Could easily shave off three hundred years.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, assume he did that, where did he get his fortune to become the rich Hashen?
15[22:44] * 13@Sammael start sto say something, then looks down again, silent.
[22:44] <13Chad`Winters> Investments.
[22:44] <13Chad`Winters> 300 years can add up fast.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It doesn't feel right to me. 6* He shakes his head. "Hashen was definitely old by the time Cran came into promenence."
[22:45] <13@Kit> 6Dawn peers over at mention of investments.
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> A trip that long would take years. How did he not starve to death?
[22:45] <13Chad`Winters> About how old?
09[22:46] <13@Sammael> "Cyro-stasis can prevent hunger and decay during long travel periods."
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Late 50's when Cran was in his 20's. Cran died when he was in his early 50's.
15[22:47] * 13@Sammael blinks a little from her automatic answer and scratches her head.
[22:47] <13@Xanatos> Cryo-stasis takes more power than that shuttle could handle.
[22:47] <13Chad`Winters> If we go with my theory, it's feesible Thomas Cran is Hashen Cran.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, assuming he found some way to prolong his life like the Famfrits, Hashen/Thomas would be too old to be a threat now
[22:48] <13@Xanatos> Unless like the progenitors, he left protocols. Clones to be active if his original failed. Alexander could be one of those.
[22:49] <13Chad`Winters> Genetic engineering was in high gear around than. He could easily have gotten his hands on something to slow his aging down.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You also have to consider this - if General Cran had two clones die in his stead, he'd be in his mid-50's now. And if he was a clone from Hashen/Thomas, then it's possible this clone degradation may affect him
[22:50] <13Chad`Winters> Could be why 50 keeps popping up.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> V.I. did capture General Cran at one point, and he 'died' twice in their stead. Then we have this new V.I. show up with clones in their arsenal
[22:51] <13Chad`Winters> But if it is Cran, like you said, he'll suffer the some degradation.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It could explain why we're being flooded by clones that are barely able to mimic our abilities
[22:51] <13@Xanatos> Here's what I don't understand. We've seen clones of just about everyone. Except me, Erevis, and Ao. Why haven't we seen clones of them?
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You're a clone. Cloning a clone is a bad idea.
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> Granted. But why not Erevis and Ao?
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Ao's human form isn't real
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> Neither is Drasek, isn't it?
[22:52] <13Chad`Winters> So there's nothing to clone from properly.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> They copied Drasek
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Drasek's
[22:52] <13Chad`Winters> Ao came into the mix recently tho.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> She did
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> But that still doesn't explain Revi.
09[22:53] <13@Sammael> "Drasek's body... it follows different rules from other Progenitors, does it not?"
[22:53] <13Chad`Winters> Erevis would be harder to clone, considering we know she's pregnant.
[22:53] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Erevis*
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> And Erevis is a Progenitor Human Hybrid. A clone of her might not be more than anything than a Katrina
15[22:53] * 13Chad`Winters nods to Darien
15[22:53] * 13@Sammael blinks. "Darien has a good point there."
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> Alright. So if this is really being ran by Cran. Any of them, how do we find the evidence to link him to it?
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I know Erevis has different DNA now from Katrina, but I can't see them getting a clone to function from her.
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> Ok. We know that Hashen wouldn't be stupid enough to clone from a clone. So he would have to have a source DNA to constantly pull from, right?
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> There's no way to preserve tissue that long
15[22:55] * 13@Xanatos nods once. His anger seemingly faded as he focuses on the problem at hand. 1There has to be something, a clone from a clone is bad, right? This Cran would be in a sad shape.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ao looks like Erevis. Clone? 6* She might be joking
15[22:55] * 13@Xanatos glances towards Fiore, then glances to Darien to see what he thinks.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> They do look alike, but that's because their siblings.
15[22:56] * 13@Sammael seems to have held herself at attention for a bit now. "But... cloning degredation is increased by the generations of cloning."
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> *they are
[22:56] <13@Xanatos> Based on who's theory?
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I go by what the little goddess spouts out
[22:56] <13Chad`Winters> Again, what if he found a way to preserve the tissue.
[22:57] <13@Xanatos> I'm sure just because she says they're sisters, that means it's true. 6He gives Darien a look.
15[22:57] * 13Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"He'd just use it to cure himself than."
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> What if he didn't, and made a bunch of clones at once, and had them in cyro to use to transfer his consciousness to one at a time?
09[22:57] <13@Sammael> "That is feesible."
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> But if he pulls them out storage, they'd face this degradation problem
09[22:58] <13@Sammael> "He needs a cure before he can do that."
15[22:58] * 13@Xanatos puts a hand to his forehead. 1Cran lasted for almost 30 years in the limelight. Does that mean they all have a 30 year limit...or longer?
09[22:58] <13@Sammael> "And if he can only last among 50 years, his time may be running short again. Hence the desperation in these movements."
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I think they all had an Angela limit
15[22:58] * 13Chad`Winters looks at Darien
15[22:59] * 13@Xanatos tilts his head at that, not getting the connection.
15[22:59] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks at Darien.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> They both died around her.
15[22:59] * 13Chad`Winters snorts.
15[22:59] * 13@Xanatos snorts and laughs.
15[22:59] * 13@Ariel shakes her head a little, keeping a straight face with effort.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks at that
15[22:59] * 13@Sammael blinks as well, probably just not getting it.
[23:00] <13@Xanatos> So let's get down to it. What are we going to do now?
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, General Cran - still in his 50 something body, is coming to his end, but this clone problem is going on. Can't pull out a new body.
[23:00] <13Chad`Winters> So he makes a new body.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> How?
[23:00] <13Chad`Winters> Same way Id made a body.
09[23:00] <13@Sammael> "One fresh and free of the breakdown issues."
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Well, clearly they don't want your body, Chad, and you're the closest genetic link to him
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> Maybe he's trying to break up the link and use a collection of genetic to make a superior body.
09[23:01] <13@Sammael> "Legion."
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I doubt it. The Weapon Project would have been his new body, then. Instead he made a son
09[23:01] <13@Sammael> "Same philosophy behind Legion. Use the elements that make all of your enemies strong."
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then looks at Chad slowly.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I might know why they don't want you
15[23:02] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Darien back. 1"Why?"
15[23:02] * 13@Xanatos arches a brow.
09[23:02] <13@Sammael> "...He's a clone?"
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You can from General Cran's genetics. If that body was one of the clones, your DNA came from a clone
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> *Came
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> Wouldn't that put Chad in the line of the degredation too?
15[23:03] * 13@Sammael shrugs, she was close. "I would then carry the degredation issues."
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> Makes sense.
15[23:03] * 13@Ariel frowns, "...that, would cause some issues I'd suspsect."
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Half of his DNA isn't a clone's.
09[23:03] <13@Sammael> *It
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> So does that half make it stable, though?
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> And most of it was genetically modified for the best results.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Hard to say. But Aya here has some genetics linking to Cran, but is further removed from the cloned genetics
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> Could explain why he wants her. A more pure sample of the genetics.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya rubs her arms, frowning
15[23:04] * 13Chad`Winters snorts, shaking his head, getting an annoyed look now.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> If it's true, Aya might could help cure Alexander, too, yet that clone appears to be sitting about, twiddling this thumbs.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> *his
15[23:05] * 13@Xanatos nods, about to say the same. 1Could mean that he really has no idea about it, then.
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> That son of....6He crosses his arms. 1"It actually makes sense."
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I doubt it. He's too smart.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien and Aya peer at Chad.
[23:05] <13@Xanatos> Maybe he would rather die than damage Aya?
15[23:05] * 13@Sammael starts to look away again, her mind finally drifting again. "Perhaps the Alexander we know is not the one we hunt."
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> If we assume the original Thomas Cran clone thing is doing it, why would the Alexander clone not do the same? They're both the same man
09[23:06] <13@Sammael> "Genetics don't make everything about a person..."
[23:06] <13@Ariel> "Are they?"
[23:06] <13@Xanatos> Yeah I don't think they're the same. I'm a clone of Xanatos, and I've accepted his life. But i'm not him.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You sure act like him. You got pissy over Erevis.
09[23:07] <13@Sammael> "I act like Angela... yet I am genetically Samantha."
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> You are genetically garbage thrown together to form a being.
[23:07] <13@Xanatos> I have his memories, his emotions. This Cran doesn't, does he?
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> We don't know
15[23:08] * 13@Sammael looks down now, apparently that hurt her feelings.
[23:08] <13@Xanatos> Then you can't assume they're the same person.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You can't assume they're not, either. Cran would lie
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> Let's go back to this is General Cran doing it.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Alright. He fakes his death by V.I.'s hands, while remaining in it to take it over and form a new organization like Janus.
[23:09] <13@Xanatos> But why exactly? What did he gain by doing that? I still don't understand that.
[23:09] <13Chad`Winters> The man obviously knew what his fate was, so he put his dna in a project. In hopes that the DNA will be good enough for him to use, but it's not.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe he just really wanted Angela to think he was dead.
15[23:09] * 13@Sammael holds her head and sits back slowly, closing her eyes as though having a sudden headache.
[23:10] <13@Xanatos> Could be. Then what? He dies for real this time, doesn't he? To Angela.
15[23:10] * 13@Ariel eyes Darien, surprised he'd say that.
09[23:10] <13@Sammael> "What motivation is there in that?"
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> But what if he didn't die for good? He has tons of clones, all he has to do is toss one at her and have it die
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> True. So now where does that put us? He creates this Alexander clone?
15[23:11] * 13Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair again and he moves over to Aya, leaning against the truck beside her
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. Cran was President, but maybe he predicts it's not the best place for him to be. After all, Dark Ones, Tsivrixsh, wars. He lets it fall on other people to fuck it up - all who work for V.I. if we recall.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Now, present day, V.I. is back. A Cran clone is in the President Executive Building.
[23:12] <13@Xanatos> So he uses his Pawns while staying out of the spotlight. He still controls the fate of Earth. Do we assume this clone is linked to him? We woul dhave too, wouldn't we?
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> We have no reason not to think they aren't linked. It's a pretty big fuck up to lose a clone.
[23:13] <13Chad`Winters> How're you holding up? 6He looks at his daughter
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Also, Eve was cloned by V.I. to get close to Aya. Cran would know to press that button
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad, having been thinking. "I'm fine."
09[23:14] <13@Sammael> "And even she has gone rogue from that plan."
[23:14] <13@Xanatos> Do they give this clone the knowledge and memories of Cran, or do they send him off on his own to do whatever he wants? Only 'shifting' him in the right direction?
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> We assume.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It's possible
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> But you'd need someone close to him to make sure he did what they want
[23:15] <13@Xanatos> Only person close to him is Eve.
15[23:15] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Darien. 1"Only person close enough is Eve.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Eve IS a clone.
15[23:15] * 13@Sammael stops herself from saying it to.
[23:16] <13@Xanatos> So then Alexander Cran, the current clone, is oblivious, but Even the clone, is working for them?
[23:16] <13@Xanatos> NRP: eve*
15[23:16] * 13Chad`Winters frowns now.
[23:16] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It's one of many theories.
09[23:16] <13@Sammael> "...Do you think Alexander even knows we came to see him?"
15[23:16] * 13@Ariel shakes her head, "...this is a real headache."
[23:16] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Impossible to say - we can't get to Alexander if we don't through Eve. Which, ironically, was put in place since we hated on Alexander.
[23:16] <13@Xanatos> Try being brain damaged Ariel. 6He points to his head, giving her a smile.
15[23:17] * 13@Sammael tilts her head a little. "Maybe... I could approach him?"
[23:17] <13@Xanatos> So we. 6He looks to Chad 1Lead this along?
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I doubt he'd have any reason to see you.
15[23:17] * 13@Sammael looks at Darien curiously, head still tilted. "I could give him one."
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He frowns at Sam, then goes to speak to the others. "Alright, lets clarify all our theories."
[23:18] <13@Xanatos> Eve is working for the real Cran, who is an evil mastermind. 6He holds up one finger.
[23:18] <13Chad`Winters> He'd only see us at this point, if we had something worth it.
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Theory Prime: General Cran is alive, and is a clone of Hashen, who was Thomas, who somehow aged his lifespan. He makes many clones of himself beforehand to live forever. Clone degradation hits in. This causes him to send in the clones and desperately want Dawn, Fiore, and Aya.
[23:19] <13@Xanatos> Wait wait. Why these two? 6He looks to Dawn and Fiore.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Now, we have two sub theories. 1) Eve is a bad guy. Keeping Alexander doing what the real Cran wants. 2) Alexander has all the information and is faking being clueless. Or 3, they're both innocent
[23:19] <13Chad`Winters> 4) Eve's acting in desperation to save Alexander.
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Possible. 6* He nods, then looks at Xanatos. "Another mystery. Maybe their father is alive and wants them."
15[23:20] * 13@Sammael watches Darien quietly from where she sits. Those able would sense her fragmented mind constantly seem to shift between the broken state and a shockingly clear one.
[23:20] <13@Xanatos> I'll accept that.
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You have to consider that the Weapons Project is under V.I. now, too, so they want the Weapons. The psionic experiment is under their umbrella, and so they'd want the twins. And you got Cran, wanting Aya to save his neck
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peers over at them all
15[23:21] * 13Chad`Winters looks at Aya. 1"Tell me what you think."
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Me? About what? 6* She looks surprised.
[23:21] <13@Xanatos> And since all of them are conviniently bunched up into two groups. Why not work together to bring them all in? A good idea, but it hasn't been working for them, has it?
[23:21] <13Chad`Winters> About what we're talking about, what you think we should do, your opinion.
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> They crippled Cheryl's unit in one day, and they got us chasing our tails, don't they?
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I-I don't really have an opinion.
[23:22] <13@Xanatos> Okay. Up to this point. 6He waves his hand, probably thinking they'll pull through this.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, and add in the fact half our team is now sitting in the Executive Building, so if theories 1, 2, and 4 are in place, they're in trouble.
[23:22] <13Chad`Winters> Well, we know it's possible that your DNA could cure Eve and Alexander.
15[23:23] * 13@Xanatos pauses and gets a frown, looking up at the building. 1We need to save them, then.
09[23:23] <13@Sammael> "Should we go back in...?"
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Save them from what? Our theories? They won't go along with it
15[23:23] * 13@Xanatos puts a hand to his face, rubbing it slowly. 1So that leaves us, where?
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I ... don't know. I'm not sure what they want with me, so it might not even be my DNA that could be a cure, right?
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Hoping Cheryl's unit found something, or that if Megumi senses trouble, she cripples the clone that's evil.
15[23:24] * 13@Ariel closes her eyes, trying to contact her crew, to at least let them know of potential danger.
09[23:24] <13@Sammael> "So our option is... wait and see?"
[23:24] <13Chad`Winters> True. 6He nods than looks at Xan. 1"You could always give yourself to the clone Kat and we could track you. 6He looks back at Aya. 1"Well did you want to find out?"
[23:25] <13@Xanatos> They'll check for a tracker, I'm sure.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I...want to put this to an end, yes. But...being captured doesn't sound like good.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> So make the plants give us a signal. Get jiggy with the flowers.
[23:25] <13Chad`Winters> That's if we go with the thought that Eve and Alexander are working against us.
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Eve---doesn't want our help, I felt.
[23:26] <13@Xanatos> I don't even know if I can control it completely. I may have these 'abilities' but I know about as much of them as I do quantum physics.
09[23:26] <13@Sammael> "Get... jiggy?"
[23:26] <13Chad`Winters> Are you ok with that?
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> *Shrugs* Are you okay with it?
[23:27] <13Chad`Winters> Not really.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chad. "Why? Yesterday you said you didn't care about the two."
[23:27] <13@Xanatos> That was before he found out she was dying.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Dying changes everything? Hardly.
[23:27] <13@Xanatos> No. It shouldn't. 6He nods in agreement.
[23:27] <13Chad`Winters> I have to break the cycle somehow.
[23:28] <13@Xanatos> Wouldn't want to teach that hate to Aya. Right?
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yesterday, you could care less, now that she's dying, you suddenly want to save her? That's illogicla.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Face it, Chad, she won't take your help. I'm not a psionic and I can tell she thinks you really care about as much as a Tsivrixsh cares about saving a puppy
15[23:29] * 13@Sammael frowns and looks down at the ground now.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at the ground, rubbing her arms again, looking like she isn't sure what to think
15[23:29] * 13Chad`Winters shrugs. 1"I just feel like helping for once."
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Bull.
[23:30] <13@Xanatos> Everyone has a different agenda Darien. As long as the goals are similar, does it matteR?
[23:30] <13Chad`Winters> No agenda.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You always have an agenda.
[23:30] <13Chad`Winters> Not this time.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at the building. "IF you want to try to save her, go for it. Just know that if she is the one sending clones after Aya, you're putting your daughter at risk."
[23:32] <13@Xanatos> I can work on trying to control my plant abilities. Xan had it down pretty good, maybe it won't take as long. So we can get me captured. That sound like a plan?
[23:32] <13Chad`Winters> It's not my decision to make.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Sure. Go, uh, get practice in being captured. 6* He waves at Xan, then eyes Chad. "It's definitely your decision." 6* He moves around to the driver seat of the van
15[23:33] * 13@Xanatos opens the door to the passenger seat and finally gets in.
15[23:33] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at his daughter. 1"I don't mean to put any pressure on you."
15[23:33] * 13@Sammael moves into the back of the van, no longer attempting to get the "copilot" seat.
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods a few times, not able to make eye contact right now. Fiore shifts and gets into the van
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr comes running out of the building toward the van
15[23:35] * 13Chad`Winters puts an arm around his daughter, pulling her in lightly. 1"But since this invovles you directly, I want you to choose and I'll go behind whatever you want and still be proud of you." 6She eyes Zephyr running towards the van.
[23:35] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: He
15[23:35] * 13@Xanatos pauses and eyes Zephyr with a frown, leaning out of the van. 1What's going on?
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans in through a van window and gives Ariel a peck on the cheek. "Just kissing my mom goodbye."
15[23:36] * 13@Xanatos lets out a sigh, putting a hand to his chest. 1Wow. I think I almost had a heart attack.
[23:36] <13Chad`Winters> Same here.
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles
[23:36] <13@Xanatos> We're getting to old for this, Chad.
[23:36] <13Chad`Winters> Oh shut up.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're both going to get bald like Drasek at this rate. 6* She moves to pat Aya on the head, then skips back for the building
15[23:37] * 13Chad`Winters grunts in response.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods a few times. "She...doesn't want us to help, so I don't think it's right to bother her. We didn't want Alexander to ... help us when we didn't want it, so we should do the same.
15[23:37] * 13@Xanatos pauses and puts his hand to his head, frowning. 1I've already lost so much hair...
15[23:37] * 13@Ariel eyes Zephyr, "...expecting to be gone long?" The talk of conspiracy has made her a little paranoid.
[23:38] <13Chad`Winters> IF that's what you think is right, than I'll accept it.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You know how genetic research goes. Hours and hours. 6* She notes from the door, then slides back inside
15[23:38] * 13@Sammael has lost herself in her little project again on her datapad.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya opens the van door and climbs back in
15[23:38] * 13Chad`Winters moves in after Aya
15[23:38] * 13@Ariel rests a hand on Zephyr's shoulder before she gets away, "Try not to die of bordem. I'd miss you."
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of D
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in his office, looking at notes he has on a board about their theories, wanting for a call from Cheryl's team.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya sits in her room, quietly peering at her book
15[23:40] * 13Chad`Winters knocks on Aya's door.
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore works on cooking supper, slicing and dicing wiht a knife.
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes?
[23:41] <13Chad`Winters> Can I come in?
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Okay.
15[23:42] * 13@Xanatos sits out in the backyard, crosslegged on the ground as he works on honing his manipulation of plants, doing this until he gets word back from his unit.
15[23:42] * 13Chad`Winters opens the door and steps in, holding a bottle of juice. 1"Can I sit?"
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
15[23:43] * 13@Sammael sits in the back yard, she watches Xanatos, before crawling along the ground behind him like some sort of stalking cat.
15[23:43] * 13Chad`Winters takes a seat down beside her. 1"I just wanted to see what you been thinking about."
15[23:43] * 13@Ariel sits with a cup of tea, a little anxious with Zephyr and the others hanging back with Cran.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs. "Clones."
15[23:44] * 13@Xanatos slowly pauses and glances over his shoulder. 1What the hell are you doing?
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Standing up, Darien steps out of his office, passing Ariel. He grabs some coffee, getting a refill, glancing over as he sips it. "You okay, Ariel?"
15[23:44] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks innocent as she sits up, tilting her head at him. "Watching."
[23:44] <13Chad`Winters> It's a lot to take in, huh?
[23:44] <13@Xanatos> You know, when you came to me before, you were lost, and I tried to help you get on the right track, but it seems that you've really just lost it all.
15[23:45] * 13@Sammael blinks a little, then looks down.
15[23:45] * 13@Ariel nods slowly, "I'm... anxious. With all that's happened..."
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Yeah.
[23:45] <13@Xanatos> I don't think you took my advice. 6He notes, looking ahead at a small little plant he caused to grow.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I understand. You sure you don't want to wait there with the others?
09[23:46] <13@Sammael> "He threw me down... I made a very bad choice."
[23:47] <13@Xanatos> So that means you should act completely retarded? Dazing in and out of god knows what, acting like a fool? Please. Even Angela was above that. You need get your life back on track Sam. Darien isn't everything.
[23:47] <13Chad`Winters> Well tell me what you think.
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I don't know what I think, Dad.
15[23:48] * 13@Sammael shivers and looks down. "They grabbed me and tried to use me... history nearly repeated itself."
[23:48] <13Chad`Winters> It'll come in time. 6He leans back slightly.
15[23:48] * 13@Ariel considers a moment, "Well... can we count on you to come save us if we spring a trap?" She smiles a little, teasingly. Though there's a fatigue behind it.
[23:48] <13@Xanatos> Who, exactly?
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'll be there as fast as I can.
09[23:48] <13@Sammael> "The men in the park."
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods slightly, peering down at her book, not really reading it
[23:50] <13@Ariel> 12[10 11 - Terra the Red 12|10 3.28mb 12|10 2m 4s 12]
[23:50] <13@Ariel> +/*++
[23:50] <13@Xanatos> Ah I see. You were almost raped. Do you think that means you should act the way you are? It makes you a liability. Someone that we can't trust to do something when she's given the job to do it.
[23:50] <13Chad`Winters> How Eve feels, can be traced to me. 6He looks up at the cieling.
15[23:50] * 13@Sammael grips some of the grass, tearing it out of the ground. "No."
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Chad now, blinking
15[23:51] * 13@Xanatos eyes her sharply with a frown. 1Don't do that.
15[23:51] * 13@Sammael blinks and drops the grass, looking sad. "Sorry."
[23:52] <13@Xanatos> What did I tell you Angela's biggest problem was? 6He says, glancing back to the plant in front of him.
[23:52] <13Chad`Winters> I could've been the better person with Alexander and I could've checked on her but I didn't.
09[23:52] <13@Sammael> "Doing everything to please others and not for herself? Constantly trying to live up to thier expectations and missing life."
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She shifts to lean against Chad. "If she wanted, she could have come here anyway to see me. You told her she could."
[23:55] <13@Xanatos> I'm not saying that what those men did to you was right. It wasn't, it's unforgivable and they deserve to be punished. 6He takes in a breath, then lets it out. 1Angela. Serena, had this problem that she thought that she needed a significant other, that she was incomplete without one. Do you feel that way?
15[23:55] * 13@Ariel nods slowly, "I'll... take my leave then." She shakes her head, "I'm sorry to be a burden."
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You're not a burden. 6* He notes seriously. "Trust me."
[23:56] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah...6He puts an arm around her. 1"But sometimes it's easier to push something away completely than to have to be reminded constantly of it.
09[23:56] <13@Sammael> "I..." *she looks down, moving the grass as if trying to put it back* "When I... when I met him... it was all I could think about... it still it. I love him... I want to be with him and now... I don't know what will happen."
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods a few times. "I spoke with her once, after she, you know, tried to kill you and began to stay with Alexander. We both agreed we were fine not seeing the other. She's not my mother, Dad."
15[23:57] * 13@Ariel can't help but nod with how seriously he says that. She stands and kisses him, "I'll be back as soon as they get this worked out then."
[23:57] <13@Xanatos> You won't be. 6He says bluntly, shifting to peer at her again. 1I can see it in Darien's eyes. He can't stand you. At least not right now.
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, reaching out and giving her hand a squeeze. "Say hi to Isis for me."
[23:58] <13Chad`Winters> She may have said that, but I doubt she meant it.
15[23:58] * 13@Sammael looks down more, she closes her eyes, starting to cry. "What then...?"
15[23:59] * 13@Ariel smiles and nods, "I will."
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Chad. "Do you...want to be there for her?" 6* She asks him
[23:59] <13@Xanatos> You don't need Darien. You don't need anyone. That's what i've been trying to tell you all along. The need to be with him, that's Angela, it's that need to be with him and to save him and protect him that got her killed. You keep it up, you'll die too.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Thursday, November 13th 2008.
Session Time: Thu Nov 13 00:00:01 2008
[00:00] <13Chad`Winters> I don't know what I want anymore, honestly.
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien watches her for a moment, then moves to go into his office, to get back to work.
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya just nods a few times, not sure what to say now
15[00:01] * 13@Sammael looks up a little. "When WInd created me... he told me to find the one I love." *she looks down, shuddering* "When I said I knew who it was already... he said something that worried me."
[00:01] <13@Xanatos> Yeah? 6He shifts to place his hand on the ground to keep himself steady, a small vine slowly growing out of the ground to creep along his arm.
09[00:02] <13@Sammael> "Don't be a pawn."
[00:02] <13Chad`Winters> If I help, I risk hurting Zephyr.
15[00:02] * 13@Sammael looks down at her helpless attempt to replant unrooted grass, frowning at it.
[00:02] <13@Xanatos> Well I hate to tell you this, but you're a pawn. If Darien said jump, you would start jumping and ask if that's good enough.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Daddy. You can't always worry about hurting someone, can you? You can't make everyone happy. You have to do what you think is right. Erevis said that once.
09[00:03] <13@Sammael> "I've... read some things I doubt anyone wanted me to... Angela... she was always the runner up in a relationship, wasn't she?"
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> And I know Zephyr isn't that .... cold. She's with Megumi right now, who's there.
[00:03] <13@Xanatos> Yep. That's how it seems. Only Spade seemed to truly care for her.
09[00:04] <13@Sammael> "Even you?"
[00:04] <13@Xanatos> I never loved her. Not even once, and she knew that, I made sure she did, because I didn't want her getting false hopes.
15[00:05] * 13@Sammael sighs and giggles weakly. "I was a fool and he probably never knew it." The ways she speaks, she's quoting something.
15[00:05] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at his daughter, a soft look on his face. 1"It's a step forward."
