[21:03] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately There After Clone Wars Part 1
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> Location: Shuttle With Xanatos
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The wind howls like a wild beast as it tries to yank Xanatos out as his grasp on the side becomes less steady
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter takes aim again at Xanatos, pulling the trigger again to send another blast at him
15[21:04] * 13@Xanatos grits his teeth, hanging on so tight that his knuckles have turned a sick shade of white. He desperately jerks to try and get a pistol free. As he tries to swing his body to avoid the blast, hoping the wind will help.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter takes aim again, annoyed as his blast slides past Xanatos by narrow inches, missing. Suddenly his gun goes flying out the ramp.
15[21:05] * 13@Xanatos shifts his head slightly to watch the gun go flying by, pulling up his own pistol to fire a stun shot for the waiter's chest.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter is hit by the stun shot and slumps forward, starting to fly out himself now from the sucktion
15[21:07] * 13@Xanatos drops his gun, reaching up to grasp onto what he is holding onto with both hands, to pull himself up closer to he can wrap a leg around it, then he woudl reach out to try and watch the waiter.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* As XAnatos grabs the waiter, his grip becomes more precarious than ever, and the sucktion begins to pull him out again with the added mass of over 100 pounds
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> Ah shi-6He tenses, trying the man closer so he can position the man so that he can get him over something, taking the wind off of him, and making it easier on himself.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, an invisible grip grabs Xanatos and his baggage, and pulls them both into the shuttle, the ramp rising on it's own. Erevis sits up, peering over at them as best she can with her hair whipping about
15[21:10] * 13@Xanatos lets out a breath as he glances over towards Erevis. 1My hero. 6He says with a smile.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you okay? I decided I had to act when he began to attempt to end your life.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* She pauses as the shuttle begins to make warning sounds and the angle begins to dip downward.
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> Yeah I think i'm alright. Thank y-6He shifts quickly to move to the pilots seat, pulling up on the controls.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The warning alarms end again. Erevis steps into the back and begins to use what she can to bind the man
15[21:12] * 13@Xanatos quickly checks to see if the man had any coordinates preset, just in case.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* No, but his comm is still there, with a signal link to the source he was talking to
15[21:13] * 13@Xanatos glances at the comm and lifts it up to try and get a trace running so that it'll give him the right coordinates.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes after a bit and sits down in the co pilot seat. After a moment, Xanatos gets the coordinates. She peers at him. "We should continue there; if the shuttle changes course, they will get suspicious."
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> You're right. Think we should risk sending the coordinates to Cheryl and the others?
15[21:14] * 13@Xanatos keeps them on course for the time being.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is risky. Perhaps we should have faith they can follow us?
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> Hmm. Yeah. I think so. With just the two of us, they'll be doing their best to take us down, think we can hold them off in time for the rest of the team to make it?
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe they can stop us.
15[21:16] * 13@Xanatos smirks slightly. 1That right? Well if you've got faith in us, I should too.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Good. I am glad to see you have not lost your courage despite the many times you have perished.
15[21:17] * 13@Xanatos laughs slightly. 1I'll never lose my courage as long as you believe in me, Red. 6He says with a smirk, calling her a name that he rarely calls her.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, then peers ahead.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Shuttle
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her datapad. "We're starting to catch up to them."
[21:18] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Want me to stay low to avoid detection?
09[21:18] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer nods a bit, looking over at her.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I... 6 *She pauses as she begins to get a comm signal from the base finally. She clicks it. "Chad?"
[21:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits there quitely as he listens.
[21:18] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> They've got Aya.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck. I'm sorry, Chad.
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> You guys find their base yet?
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down now, frowning a bit to herself.
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters>  6Dias eyes Cheryl, wincing slightly.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. We're still following the shuttle.
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Chii's alright. Just let me know when you find it.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I understand.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Dias. "We stay undetected."
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6The comm clicks off.
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings the shuttle down, keeping low along the ground.
[21:20] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> How much longer till they come into view?
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're cloaked. They won't.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh. Fancy that.
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> The tank's not made for thinking.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back in his seat, frowning.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm sure I could think loops around you mate.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Blips begin to appear on radar. Cheryl eyes them.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I prefer octagons. 6He eye the blips. 1"What are those again?"
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Other ships.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ruh oh. 6He looks at Cheryl
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's tongue slides along her lips. "Game's up. They must know we're following."
09[21:22] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer sits back and checks to make sure she's securely strapped in again.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC checks her strap.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than I guess I get to have some fun, huh?
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her comm again. "We're under attack, Chad. I'm sending you Xanatos' tracer signal in case we fail."
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits a button on her datapad.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Understood.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her comm. off again. Up ahead, five Earth attack shuttles can be sene heading their way, black lines all over them
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias cracks his neck. 1"Just so you know, Cheryl. I fly better if I have a naked co-pilots.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias now. "You heard him, Jen."
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Jennifer.
09[21:25] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer shakes her head, looking at Natalie.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head.
[21:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets outu a laugh and he grabs the controls tightly.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The five EarthGov vessels begin to fire dark beams at them.
[21:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls the shuttle to the side to avoid the incoming dark beams
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to bring up the weapon controls.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "The fun never ends with this group, eh?"
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The five shuttles begin to spread out into an attack pattern, three behind, one to the side, and one out front of Dias
[21:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek let's out a whistle. Holding onto his seat.
15[21:27] * 13Ariel shakes her head, "For certain definitions of fun."
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias heads right for the one infront of him.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's a trap, you know.
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh totally.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl locks on with the front guns.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Lets go.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers over at Chad as he gets the data from Cheryl. "So they're in trouble?"
03[21:27] * Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
[21:28] <13Chad`Winters> Yes. 6He eyes Paladin for a second, than loooks at Cass. 1"You find anything?"
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets out a troubled sound
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Phantasma. "Hey, buddy, how far can you teleport?"
[21:29] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "PHANTASMA IS EQUIPED WITH A LONGRANGE ORGANIC HARMFUL TELEPORTATION SYSTEM."
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs the side of his head. 1At least with Dias as the pilot, you know they'll be harder to hit, since his ups are down and his lefts are right.
15[21:29] * 13Chad`Winters eyes his datapad, than his hands and wipes the blood off onto his tact suit.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hm. 6* He tenses and jumps off some debris and grabs Phantasma's leg, then pulls himself up along him. "I'll take my chances."
[21:30] <13Cassandra`> Still cracking it.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes John likes he's looney toos.
[21:30] <13Chad`Winters> You have a shuttle for us to get onto to pursue?
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Unfortunately, no. But we should be able to use one of the Executive Building shuttles.
[21:30] <13Ariel> Phantasma> *looks at the others uncertainly*
15[21:31] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the beta. 1"Do it."
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sits down on Phantasma's shoulder.
[21:31] <13@Kit> <Chii> Uh, you're seriously going to ride that... thing?
[21:31] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "COORDINATES?"
[21:31] <13Chad`Winters> Than we should head there now instead of standing around and waiting. 6He looks at X. 1"Can you get us there?"
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <John> Damn straight. Chad, give PHantasma Cheryl's coordinates.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
15[21:32] * 13Chad`Winters checks his pad and gives them to Phantasma. 1"Than let's start moving."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods, then opens a ripple.
[21:32] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma disappears in a flash, taking John with him.
15[21:32] * 13Chad`Winters turns and moves to the ripple, stepping inside
[21:32] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts then moves to walk through the ripple.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps thorug hthe ripple.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows.
15[21:33] * 13Cassandra` moves through the ripple, still working on cracking the encryption.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy hmms, then shadowports.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> Location: Cheryl's Shuttle
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fires at the shuttle ahead of them, which begins to avoid their blasts. The three behind open fire
[21:34] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias spirals the shuttle around to avoid the shots and also to try and aim them ahead at the shuttle infront
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a flash and a giant Beta looking thing appears with some idiot on it
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks out the window. "I think that's bad."
[21:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> What is?!
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fires again and manages to hit the enemy shuttle ahead of them. IT jukes away.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* John shakes the disorientation off.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hell yeah.
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek shifts to try and peer at the giant beta outside, looking at it oddly.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squints. "I think it's John."
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly jerks the control to the side, heading towards the shuttle on it's side
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really?! Oh he's got mad entrance skills.
09[21:36] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer stares from her vantage point. "Once again I'm proven wrong, I haven't seen everything. Ack!"
[21:36] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma unshoulders its railcannon, looking to John for direction.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle on it's side heads at them, too, firing away. John points at the shuttles. "Shoot all of them that have the black lines."
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks up on the controls, moving for a loop
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle jerks to avoid Dias
[21:37] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma aims its railcannon at the shuttles, firing on the one closest to Cheryl's shuttle.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is hit by PHantasma, not expecting it to attack. IT begins to go down
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Drasek. "You. I'm opening the ramp. USe your beams on the shuttles."
[21:38] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...The last shuttle sstill behind us?
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flips a switch to lower the ramp.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hell yeah. Great aim, Phantasma.
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek gets up and moves to the back, reaching out to hold onto something, taking aim and firing a beam for the shuttle.
[21:39] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And here I was going to do a suicide stop. 6He sighs.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't be stupid.
[21:39] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias coughs.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is hit by the beam and begins to fall back
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other three shuttles pair off - two fly at Dias, and one for Phantasma.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <John> Better defend ourselves.
[21:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances around for another shuttle to shoot at, making sure he's secure enough so that he won't go flying out.
[21:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> This could be fun. 6He eyes the shuttles coming in at them from the sides
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're trying to pinch attack us, DRasek - Dias.
[21:41] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma fires on the one coming towards him and John. "...PHANTASMA ALWAYS SAID SHUTTLES NEED BETTER ARMOR."
[21:41] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs onto the controls tightly. 1"Drasek, you might want to hold on tight."
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <John> It's true. I hear their crash rate is record high in this reality
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Right. 6He shifts to hold on with both hand.
[21:41] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Tighter.
[21:42] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "PHANTASMA THINK THAT IS PROBLEM WITH SHUTTLE PILOTS."
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle twists to avoid, it's side hit by Phantasma's beam. It fires a dark attack at PHantasma before it goes down
[21:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek tilts his head then moves to latch himself around with his legs too if at all possible.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her hand on the attack controls.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back at Drasek, keeping an eye on him
[21:42] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma jerks quickly to the side, trying to avoid the attack.
[21:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the blips, waiting and suddenly pulls back on the controls to slow the shuttle down as fast as possible
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* John lets out a whoop as he holds on
09[21:43] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer just keeps her eyes closed, holding onto her seat.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien hits his seat
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The two enemy shuttles fire at each other, and both explode
[21:43] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek is jerked around, almost lising his grip.
[21:43] <13@Xanatos> NRP: losing
[21:43] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings under the debris and starts flying towards Phantasma and John
15[21:44] * 13Ariel winces, "...we need to submit a request for more turrets on this things."
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winces a bit herself
[21:44] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "PHANTASMA ADMITS HE ISN'T BAD."
[21:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC opens her eyes, shifting her bodyt slighlty from the soreness
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <John> He's pretty cool
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* John gives Dias a thumbs up
[21:45] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...bloody hell I think I almost lost a hand during that. 6He moves to close the ramp and go back to his seat.
[21:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias gives a thumbs up through his view port as he passes by and he adjust shis course to head after the shuttle again
09[21:45] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer grumbles and has to wrestle with her hand a bit before it loses grip on the seat. She looks over at Natalie. "That never gets boring, at least."
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> Lets follow. We can take our time and arrive to save the day after they're already there
[21:45] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It is expected with his flying.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her hands off the firing controls, eyeing her datapad. "They've landed, I think, because the signal is getting weaker."
[21:47] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> As long as you have the last point, we know where to head, right?
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I hope so.
[21:47] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma nods and does his best to keep up with the shuttle.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* They arrive outside the building from one of X's ripples.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Already there, surprisingly, would be Raquel, Freyja, and Eve, who is looking a mite bit better.
15[21:48] * 13Chad`Winters steps out and starts to move for the executive building when he sees the three. 1"Eve?"
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Chad. 6* She smiles a bit, looking relieved.
[21:49] <13@Kit> 6Chii jerks. 1"Freyja!?"
15[21:49] * 13Cassandra` steps out of the ripple.
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So. Since we're all here, just how many people are with Cheryl?
15[21:49] * 13Chad`Winters eyes them cautiously. 1"X, you can feel out weapons, right?"
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks cool and black
[21:49] <13@Kit> <Freyja> Chiikun. Still a runt.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <X> Mostly.
[21:49] <13@Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes at her grown twin.
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> That feel like Raquel to you?
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. That is IX.
15[21:50] * 13Chad`Winters nods. 1"We need a shuttle."
[21:50] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...you look surprised."
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I thought you might. After Freyja healed my wounds, I told Raquel we needed to come here
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Follow me
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve marches for the doors
15[21:50] * 13Chad`Winters moves after Eve.
[21:51] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel heads after Eve
[21:51] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus tilts his head slightly and then shrugs, moving along with them.
[21:51] <13@Kit> 6Freyja turns to follow Eve, Chii hrmphing and doing the same.
[21:51] <13@Kit> 6Lilith shakes her head for some reason and peers to X.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* X shrugs and walks along. Katrina moves with Marcus. Paladin takes the end
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they enter the lobby, security guards step out with their weapons in hands. "That is far enough." 6* Eve stops, looking confused.
15[21:52] * 13Chad`Winters comes to a stop, eyeing the security guards.
[21:53] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus slides to a stop and pauses. 1Uh?
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> What is the meaning of this? <Security Guard> President's orders. You're all to be detained.
15[21:53] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"A clone."
[21:53] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh that's not good.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> ... It has to be. Alexander would never order such a thing
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard nods to his men. "Remember, Miss. Summers and Mr. Winters are not to be harmed."
15[21:54] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the men, counting them
[21:54] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...what... about the rest of us?" *nervous now*
[21:54] <13Cassandra`> Not the welcome I wanted. *crosses her arms*
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The security agents, 8 in all, begin to move forward
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Guard> If you don't resist, you won't be harmed.
[21:54] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait wait. What if Eve and Chad resist and we don't?
[21:54] <13Cassandra`> Hmmmm...no tank battalions with air support? Not enough, I think.
15[21:54] * 13Chad`Winters rests his right hand against his hip.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards stop, eyeing Marcus, then Chad. The leader nods. "Stun them all to be sure."
[21:55] <13@Kit> 6Lilith narrows eyes and lifts her spear. 1"My mistress is not yours to take."
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs a bit at her Marcus
[21:55] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wow you guys are totally lame.
15[21:55] * 13Chad`Winters suddenly swings his right hand forward, a small orb flying out at them, it flashes brightly.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve winces at the bright orb, as do the guards.
[21:56] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus howls, holding his eyes as he falls to the ground.
15[21:56] * 13Chad`Winters quickly unholsters his modified gun and starts firing stun shuts for the guards.
[21:56] <13@Kit> 6Freyja slides in unexpectedly quick, slamming a flat palm into the face of the lead guard
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrnia is glad she was behind Marcus.
[21:56] <13@Kit> 6Chii howls somewhere in the midst of the group. 1"M-My fucking eyes!"
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin lifts his gun and fires stun shots as well with Chad. The three take them all out
15[21:56] * 13Cassandra` whistles as she crunches data, figuring anything she did would be serious overkill.
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh this isn't good. I'm blind. I'll never see again.
[21:57] <13Chad`Winters> Sorry, but we don't have time to waste. 6He moves over to Eve and shifts her onto his back. 1"Fastest way?"
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's temporary, sweetie.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve winces, but doesn't miss a beat. "Elevator. 14th floor."
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh look at that, I can see dots now. Kat you're a pretty dot, you know that? 6He shifts to push himself up, reaching out to use Kat as a guide.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina picks up Chii. X, while blind, moves along
15[21:58] * 13Chad`Winters quickly moves to the elevator and hits the open button
[21:58] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stumbles, after the others, trying to see.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks back to see if there's anyone following
15[21:58] * 13Cassandra` heads for the elevator.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* X gets onto the elevator, grabbing Raquel's arm to lead her
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Chii and Marcus on, and Paladin steps on next
15[21:59] * 13Chad`Winters steps on, setting Eve down on her feet as he moves to hit the 14th floor button
15[21:59] * 13Cassandra` steps on to the elevator now.
[21:59] <13Chad`Winters> If we can make it up there, they'll be waiting on us.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors close and they begin to go up
[22:00] <13@Kit> 6Lilith seems to be squinting painfully but remains by X by sense and instinct.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> If we make it. This building has been redesigned to stop intruders. 6* The elevator goes past 14
[22:00] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods to X, not sure if she can see. "...t-thanks."
15[22:00] * 13Chad`Winters eyes it than move sto the controls, ripping the panel open.
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...ugh, everything so blurry I think i'm going to be sick. 6he notes, holding his stomach.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin shakes his head. "This is a bad place to be if a clone is in charge."
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs Marcus' back tenderly.
[22:01] <13Chad`Winters> Noted. 6He moves to try and short the controls to stop them on a floor.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator stops on floor 20
[22:01] <13Cassandra`> This is just one of those days.
[22:01] <13Chad`Winters> We head down than. 6He grabs the elevator door and starts to pry them open.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I have an idea. Cassandra, make a hole in the floor. We can go down that way.
[22:02] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel steps back from where she thinks Cass is
[22:02] <13@Kit> <Freyja> Unsure if that is a safe plan, Gordon.
15[22:02] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Paladin and nods. He aims his mod. gun at the control wiring and fires several high stun shots into it to fry the circuits for good.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> IF we get off on the floors, they can use the stairways against us
[22:02] <13Cassandra`> ...you sure?
[22:02] <13Chad`Winters> Do it.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <PAladin> If they drop the elevator, we can use a ripple.
[22:03] <13Cassandra`> Ok... *whips out a rail gun, aims, and fires into the floor*
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The floor vapes, as does the far end of the elevator shaft.
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> Can you see yet, Eve?
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I can see blurs and dots.
[22:04] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh i'm fine Chad, glad you asked. 6He notes with a sigh.
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> You've got about 4 more minutes than.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> Everyone start moving into the shaft.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Cassandra, you can open floor 14's door faster than us
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> YOU should go in first.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs Marcus and Chii's backs, sighing at the two
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* They can hear voices on the other side of the floor 20 doors.
[22:05] <13Cassandra`> ...right... *goes first*
[22:06] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm seriously not going anywhere until I can see. My luck I'll think i'm grabbing a pipe and it'll be someone's leg and i'll just fall and fall and fall.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'll ripple you when I can see the floor.
15[22:06] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the door and shifts his left hand laong his belt again, his fingers twisting something. 1"Yeah well than you can greet the people on the other side.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to go down next with Chii
[22:07] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...I cannot see, therefore I will defend this position." 6She turns her head toward the voices.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'd carry you, baby, but you're too much for me.
[22:07] <13@Kit> 6Chii strings curses.
[22:07] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Thanks X. 6He nods, standing there.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> The other baby, Chii
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin loads his gun up. Eve begins to feel about the floor now, then begins to go down
15[22:08] * 13Cassandra` mutters about electrified doors as she heads down.
[22:08] <13@Kit> <Chii> Huh? I'm just pissed.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra reaches the floor 14 doors
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* The sound of a device can be heard on the other side of floor 20's door
15[22:08] * 13Chad`Winters moves to the door and slaps a small stun charge onto the floor infront of the door.
[22:08] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stumbles after the sound of the others, keeping low.
[22:08] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Do not worry Marcus Jones. I will cut down all who come.
[22:08] <13Chad`Winters> They're going to blow the door.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'll open a ripple to protect us
[22:09] <13@Kit> 6Lilith holds out her hand, shielding directly afront of her, keeping others behind her.
[22:09] <13@Kit> 6Freyja lowers herself and floats beside Katrina, looking down for their destination
15[22:09] * 13Chad`Winters eyes X. "Fine." 6He picks up the stun charge and swings himself out of the hole and onto the railing and starts moving down
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple, too
[22:09] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Huh, that uh sound doesn't sound so...uh, good.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* The floor 20 door explodes open. Paladin aims and fires shots through the smoke
15[22:11] * 13@Xanatos winces, ducking and covering his head, despite X's ripple of protection.
[22:11] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Marcus8
[22:11] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves forward through the smoke, pulling the ronin thing, poised with her lance calmly.
15[22:11] * 13Cassandra` reaches over and pulls open the floor 14 doors.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troopers are hit by the fire, but keep firing into the elevator as best she can
[22:12] <13@Kit> 6Lilith feels the heat and dashes quick and low, spinning around with the spear to sweep with the blade in a wide arc.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves in through the opened doors now with CHii
15[22:12] * 13Cassandra` moves through the doors and scans the area.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* The spear catches troopers off guard and they let out cries of pain. One lobs a grenade at Lilith.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's scans don't see anyone in the hallway that leads to the shuttle area
[22:13] <13Cassandra`> ..clear unless they have a stealth package on them.
[22:13] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel forms her ripple behind her for defense, and keeps after the others.
[22:14] <13@Kit> 6Lilith holds a hand over her, forming a semisphere for the grenade to bounce off.
[22:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs at his eyes.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve gets off on the floor
15[22:14] * 13Chad`Winters swings in after Eve, landing in a crouch. He leans out and whistles loudly up at the others
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenade explodes, causing structual damage around the hallway.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* One trooper finally sets up a rain gun and after confirming no sign of Eve or Chad in the elevator begins to power it, aiming at the elevator.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Lilith, we need to get down the hole now.
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I think uh, Chad is ready for us.
[22:15] <13@Kit> 6Lilith twirls her lance and slams it into the floor, setting off an EMP wave, then retreats. 1"Understood." She reaches to grab X.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* X lets out a surprised sound as she's grabbed. The rail gun powers down, but the trooper begins to do something to get a secondary source to power it. They aim again, powering it up
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets Cassandra lead the charge to the shuttle area.
15[22:16] * 13@Xanatos coughs. 1Uh. Yeah...6He kneels down and looks feels for the egde, then moves to climb down, though wobbily and awkward, he would see better now than before.
[22:16] <13Cassandra`> I'm taking point. *moves forward to the shuttle rea*
[22:16] <13@Kit> 6Lilith leaps down through the hole, dropping. After a moment she extends her spear horizontally, letting out a horrendous screech as she slows their fall, holding X out toward the 14th.
15[22:17] * 13Chad`Winters slides his hand along his belt as he moves after Cass and Kat
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Oh that was Marcus. ;_;
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the rail gun, then grabs his own gun and begins to overload it. He steps into the hallway a bit and drops it, right as the rail blast is let loose. A loud explosion can be heard above the team in the elevator shaft
[22:18] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> HOLY SHIT, I'm glad I wasn't still in the elevator.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Cassandra reaches the shuttle pad, which is outside the building, though attached, there would be several shuttles to choose from
[22:18] <13Cassandra`> Take a pick.
15[22:18] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the shuttles as he steps in.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X hops onto floor 14
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Guns begin to rise up along the pad.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander's Voice> Eve. Chad. Don't make this harder than it has to be.
15[22:20] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he unhoslters Ebony and begins firing shots for the rising guns as he dashes for an open shuttle
[22:20] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...I recognize that sound. That's like. Bad, right, Kat?
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, it's bad, Chii.
[22:20] <13Cassandra`> Everyone, move!
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hold on to me tightly.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks up at the sound of his voice, peering at a comm system.
15[22:20] * 13Cassandra` dashes to the shuttle.
[22:20] <13@Kit> 6Lilith strains and heaves herself to the 14th, looking up-- she hooks Marcus' clothes with her spearhandle and lowers him to the 14th as well.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chad's shots hit the guns, causing them to spark. Though others begin to take aim at the shuttles, firing at them
[22:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a girly scream, then pauses. 1Oh. Thanks.
[22:21] <13@Kit> <Chii> Uh... right." 6She clenches onto Katrina.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rushes forward as quickly as she can
[22:21] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves as fast as she can, unable to ripple without knowing her destination.
[22:21] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ... ... ..." 6She isn't sure how to respond to that. 1"...Please do not mention it." 6She checks on X then moves forward.
15[22:21] * 13Chad`Winters dashes up and into one of the shuttles and moves upto power it up.
15[22:21] * 13Cassandra` climbs into the shuttle soon after.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle Chad picks is targetted and it's engines are shot at again and again. Eve rushes up the ramp. "He's trying to stop us."
[22:22] <13@Kit> 6Freyja chants silently, quickly, thens wipes her hand, sending several barrages of light at different guns
[22:22] <13Cassandra`> I can't return fire without blowing away the whole platform!
[22:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus follows the blurs of Lilith and X.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves along blindly toward the pad.
[22:22] <13Chad`Winters> I know. 6He grabs the controls and starts sending the shuttle backwards towards the way they came in
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's cracking finally pays off. She gets a base location
[22:23] <13Cassandra`> Crack complete! I got the location!
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guns that aren't hit by Freyja's shots aim at Katrina and fire at her.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina throws herself into the shuttle as the ramp comes at her
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* X points at a large blur backing up at them. "I think that is the shuttle."
[22:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus squints. 1Either a shuttle or one of those golem things. Should we take our chances?
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* X leaps forward at it, apparantly taking her chances.
[22:25] <13Chad`Winters> Tell me when everyones on.
[22:25] <13@Kit> 6Lilith accompanies her, not sensing a golem anyway
[22:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks slightly at X's blur moving for it and does so himself, leaping forward.
[22:25] <13Cassandra`> Get in, you bakana!
[22:25] <13@Kit> <Chii> Wh-What just happened?
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina just murmurs in pain.
[22:25] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel senses X's movement, and attempts to ripple to the same destination.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* X grabs Raquel as she ripples in, pulling her to herself
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We're all on, go now.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Teh shuttle's engines are already in the red and about to go critical.
15[22:26] * 13Chad`Winters raises the ramps and pushes the controls forward, heading for the exit
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lands and rolls a bit, hitting something, probbaly a chair or a person. 1....okay what the fuck is a bakana?
[22:26] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I do not understand myself, Marcus Jones. She called you 'impossible.'
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin smashes through the 20th floor's windows, falling out of the building.
[22:26] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Clearly she meant boke or baka.
15[22:27] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Paladin pass them as he exits the hanger and he brings the shuttle down after him.
[22:27] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits up, feeling around for his red blur called Katrina.
[22:27] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel falls over, catching her breath. "...I... don't like being blind." 6She'd glare at Chad if she could.
[22:27] <13Chad`Winters> Better than being dead. 6He flips a switch to lower the ramp as he passes by Paladin
[22:27] <13Cassandra`> No, it means sillies, roughly.
[22:28] <13@Kit> 6Freyja appears shortly after the fall, snatching Paladin by the collar, then straining like some underpowered fairy to remain floating.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Thankfully, they float right into the open ramp.
[22:28] <13Cassandra`> Anyone else I don't know about?
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks rather bloodied up, and seems to be heavily wounded.
15[22:28] * 13Chad`Winters closes the ramps and pulls up so they dont' hit the ground, even if it causes them to tumble about
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets Chii go, peering at her side, eyeing her wound from the shots. She touches the bleeding spot. "I need a med kit."
[22:29] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I think I could have-6He rolls along and smashes into the side of the shuttle. 1What the hell! I think Dias is a better pilot than you.
[22:29] <13@Kit> 6Freyja supports Paladin, then sighs. 1"C-Come here."
[22:29] <13@Kit> <Chii> Kat..!?
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stumbles about from the tumble, landing her face onto Raquel's chest
[22:29] <13Chad`Winters> He is. 6He moves along the city skyline. 1"I need thos coordinates Cass. Eve, see what you can do about hte engines."
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods and moves for the back.
[22:29] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel oofs, doing her best to catch the falling object.
15[22:29] * 13Cassandra` moves over to the front and plugs into the navigation computer, uploading the coordinates.
[22:29] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> K-Katrina? 6He reaches out to find Kat.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I got hit. Guess I'm not as young as..ungh..use to be
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Freyja, then nods once, awkwardly. "Thank you."
15[22:30] * 13Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and sets it the controls, bringing up the coordinates he got from Cheryl and comparing them to the one Cass got
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* They're not the same location
[22:30] <13Chad`Winters> Fuck. 6He growls.
[22:31] <13Cassandra`> What
[22:31] <13Cassandra`> ?
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> Two different coordinates.
[22:31] <13@Kit> 6Freyja leans against the back of a seat and holds her hands out, chanting quietly and wordlessly, bringing about the air again. She begins the soundless Song of Nephilim to begin to care for Paladin and Katrina-- or any injuries unseen.
[22:32] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around quickly, but pauses when he sees Freyja healing Kat. 1Whew...thanks Katrina.
[22:32] <13Cassandra`> so what's the call then?
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you, Freyja.
[22:32] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Er Freyka. Lol.
15[22:32] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the distance difference from where they are to Cass's and compares it to the one from Cheryl
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* They're almost two hundred miles apart.
[22:33] <13@Kit> <Chii> Kat... you should take care of yourself.
[22:33] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well if they're different, don't you think you should tell Cheryl about it?
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll keep it in mind.
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> We're going after Cass's. 6He reaches upto tap his comm.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back against the side of shuttle wall as he's healed. Though his wounds heal, he remains looking exhausted and in pain
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's comm can no longer be reached.
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> If only Chii could communicate through a bond. 6He notes dryly as he adjusts course.
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Chii can't?
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She can. Cheryl probably neglected to teach her.
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ohhh. Bummer.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> Some people enjoy privacy.
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah, just you Chad.
15[22:35] * 13Chad`Winters grunts
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches out and brushes Chii's cheek. "But if you close your mind and think about her, and try sending your thoughts, Chii, I am sure you can reach her."
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits up finally.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <X> Thank you for the cushion, IX.
[22:37] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...I've done it before, jeez. Could you make me sound anymore hopeless?
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve comes back up, covered in grease and dark spots and sits near Chad
[22:37] <13Chad`Winters> Than you should start doing it.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We'll get where ever we want to get to, Chad, but don't expect fancy manuevers.
[22:37] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Problem is I grow because we're synchronised. When I'm like this we're most unsynched.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve rubs her face, looking as if she's hurting, despite the lack of wounds
[22:38] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Just give it a try Chii. That's all you can do is try, right?
15[22:38] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Eve. 1"Can't ask for much more than. You alright?"
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No. I feel like my nerves are on fire.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I think getting wounded speeds up the degradation
[22:39] <13@Kit> 6Freyja peers up, wheezing slightly. 1"...The song didn't help at all?"
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve offers Freyja a smile. "You healed what can be healed."
15[22:40] * 13Chad`Winters frowns slightly and he begins cutting off unnecassary things and rerouting power to the engines
[22:40] <13@Kit> 6Chii hrmphs at Marcus, glaring off to the side, but closes her eyes, grinding her teeth as she tries. She's had some experience with transfers whether Cheryl taught her properly or not at this point-- though most of it is used for subtle revenge.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> Location: Shuttle Durran
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lowers under ground on a lowering platform.
15[22:40] * 13@Xanatos glances around, shifting to stand. 1Be ready for a fight.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle comes to a stop in an underground hanger, surrounded by 30 V.I. troopers and 10 Golems.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. It seems they are ready as well.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises.
[22:41] <13@Xanatos> ....wow that's some big numbers. Maybe we should just fly away now.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis puffs her cheeks. "I will not run."
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> Okay. Try to keep fire off of us. I'm going to try something fancy. 6He shifts to down in the pilot's seat again. 1Oh, you might want to sit for this.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches into her blouse top, feeling around, then pulls out a sphere. She tilts her head, then sits.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> By fancy, I hope you do not mean, 'Fly away'.
15[22:43] * 13@Xanatos takes in a breath and then adjusting something on the controls, he jerks on them quickly, causing the shuttle to lift up slightly and do a dead spin, activating the gun turrets to fire out as he spin, also firing a missile or two at some of the golems as they do so.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troopers hit the deck as the turrets begin and two golems are hit by missiles, stumbling back. The troopers open fire at the shuttle, and the golems fire beams at the engines
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> Ah hell. 6He jerks to halt the shuttle, hissing at the strain, though if he could get ahold of it he would send it forward again, this time skidding along the ground as he moves for a group of troopers.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, trying to shield what she can, but the fire power is pretty overwhelming.
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> The golems. Just focus on stopping the golems. 6He says quickly, realizing what strain that would put on her to stop it all.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troopers are hit by the shuttle driven by the mad pilot. They go flying about as the shuttle keeps going on ahead, not stopping to commands now. IT flies at a wall.
15[22:46] * 13@Xanatos tugs on the controls and pauses. 1Okay. New plan. Abandon ship. 6He hits the ramp lower button, turning to move for the back.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golems aim at Xanatos and fire, but their attacks are stopped by a psionic shield; Erevis remains sitting and focusing
[22:47] <13@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slides to a stop and reaches out to grab Erevis by the hand, moving to run to the back and dive out.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks as her hand is taken and they dive out. She opens her eyes to peer about, as the troopers switch to stun, not wanting to kill her.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* She quickly forms her scythe from the sphere.
15[22:48] * 13@Xanatos pushes himself up to his feet and begin firing for the troops, trying to be precise enough for headshots, though at this point, that's moot. He constatly keeps a wary eye on the golems.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golems march ahead. Erevis spins her scythe to block shots coming at them, allowing Xanatos the shielding he needs to fire at the troopers. Their headmasks save them, but they stumble about from his shots.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe these humans know who they are messing with.
15[22:50] * 13@Xanatos quickly moves his hands into his coat, pulling out a handfull of silver discs, he shifts himself forward and tenses to throw out the discs for the troopers. 1I think you're right. Guess they'll find out the hard way.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis' spinning begins to slow down and a shot gets through, clipping her shoulder. She frowns as her arm goes dead, and she switches to her right hand. The troopers eye the discs.
15[22:51] * 13@Xanatos presses a button to detonate them whenever they get to their destination.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* The explosions send troopers flying about. One of the golems raises it's arms and tries to bring it's hands down on XAnatos.
15[22:52] * 13@Xanatos glances up and pushes out for Erevis to send her forward and then rolls back himself, hopefully out of harms way.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls forward unexpectedly, stumbling and falling onto her butt. THe golem's hand smash the floor
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* She pauses, then sighs in relief. "I feel Ariel in the bond."
15[22:53] * 13@Xanatos rolls around to his feet again and springs forward to leap onto the golem's arm, trying to climb up the arm. 1What are you saying?! We've got this.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. This is a fact.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises to her feet, psionically grabbing the golem and restricting it's movements for Xanatos. She spins her scythe with her right hand, not as well, though, to block more shots as troopers fire at her again
15[22:54] * 13@Xanatos tries to get up near it's head, reaching out to pull out his sabers, activating them, he tries to drive them into it's eyes, if well, it has eyes.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem gains Saber Eyes.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces as another shot hits her side and leg. She shifts to a kneeling position, still working to restrain the golem
15[22:55] * 13@Xanatos tenses and tries to see if pulling on the sabers can give him some movement by the golem. 1Worry about yourself, Erevis. I'll handle my end. 6He says, worry in his voice.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically grabs Xanatos' golem. "You might should get off." 6* She shouts, then throws the golem at the troopers, looking pissecd
[22:56] <13@Xanatos> O-Ok. 6He jerks to leap off, taking his sabers with him.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troopers are smashed by a giant rock creature
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other three approach Xanatos.
15[22:56] * 13@Xanatos lands and rolls to his feet, moving towards the other three golems. 1Okay. Let's hope they work like the Ridarium's did. 6He notes to himself.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to, almost demonically, use her own golem like a club, smashing at troopers with it, looking pissed.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golems lift their hands at Xanatos, firing dark beams.
[22:58] <13@Xanatos> Definitely not Ridariums! 6He kneels and shifts to leap upward and hopefully over the beams, throwing out 2 silver disc at the first golem that would explode on impact.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem stumbles back from the explosion
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, there's a large crash from the platform area and a Beta zooms down, with John riding it, arms crossed.
15[22:59] * 13@Xanatos lands and stumbles a bit from the crash as he jerks to rush forward and leap to land on it's leg, hoping his buddy's will try to remedy the knat on his leg with their fists and beams.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <John> It's the heroic team, Phantasma and John! ...and others. 6* He motions at Dias' shuttle coming in too
[22:59] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias swings the shuttle down level. 1"Cheryl, let them have it."
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, firing missiles at the other golems not near Xanatos, while the one xan is messing with tries to swat him
[23:00] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma mimics John's pose, holding the cannon on one arm.
15[23:00] * 13@Xanatos sighs and drops, though he does leave another disc, so the golem swatting it would cause another explosion.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps out of the shuttle and rushes toward Erevis' position, sliding in front of her and forming her guns, firing away with them at the troopers.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem blows itself
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves up right beside Zephr, holding out his finger, looking like one of those kids that pretends to be a cowboy, except he shoots real beams of course.
03[23:01] * Sammael is now known as Jennifer
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cover Zephyr and Erevis.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Your help is appreciated, though we were winning.
15[23:01] * 13@Xanatos takes steps back, moving for Erevis, since the others pretty much have it.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the shuttle.
15[23:01] * 13@Jennifer draws her weapon and readies herself, she looks at SPoC.
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> No point in you having all of the fun, Revi.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is busy already firing guns at golems and troopers that she can
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC leaps down the ramp and raises her rifle, firing shots at any one she can get a hold of
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I just hope Megumi doesn't sense how FUCKING PANICKED I WAS.
15[23:02] * 13@Jennifer leaps down after her and takes some shots as well.
15[23:02] * 13Ariel heads out, forming her armor and trying to assess the situation.
15[23:02] * 13@Xanatos moves over to Erevis and kneels checking her over for wounds.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tiredly sits there, looking worn out.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* She has no wounds, just parts stunned
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The V.I. troopers pull back into the door way at the hanger and close it.
15[23:03] * 13@Xanatos gives her a smile. 1You know how to show a boy a nice time, Erevis. 6He sits down beside her.
[23:03] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma looks to John, then decides to open fire on the golems
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Huh, they're hiding behind a door.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phantasma and Cheryl's attacks destroy the golems.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck the door. 6* She fires a missile at it.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe this was you date.
15[23:03] * 13Ariel glances to Darien, "Not sure where to start. We have quite the show of force here."
15[23:03] * 13@Jennifer looks about, keeping her gun on the door.
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ah, the missile key. Opener of all doors.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> It seems that way.
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Aw what's that? I can't show them the running man?
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* The missile impacts the door, only damaging it slightly.
09[23:04] <13@Jennifer> "Hmm... tough door."
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Ooh, Maybe I can.
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well that pisses me off.
[23:04] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma glances at the shuttle, then trys the railgun on the door.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Phantasma's blows up the door
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> YEAH!
15[23:04] * 13@Xanatos smiles. 1I was serious about doing things together more often.
15[23:04] * 13Chad`Winters lowers he rifle as she moves over to Erevis and Zephyr.
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: SPoC
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sighs. 1Or not. They won't let me have any fun, bit.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets out a sigh.
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands the shuttle completely and stands up. 1"Time to kick some ass."
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Save it for later. I'm sure there's tons of enemies inside.
15[23:05] * 13@Jennifer follows SPoC's lead for now, she puts her gun up and moves over to the two.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out of the shuttle.
[23:05] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Brilliant.
[23:05] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma seems to frown at the small hallway.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am afraid I cannot go further right now.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pats Phantasma. "How about you stay her, buddy, and guard the area for us? So they can't blow our shuttle up while we're inside?"
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> *Here
[23:06] <13@Xanatos> I'll stay here with you and we can catch up with the others later.
[23:06] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma considers, "...YOU... WILL BE BACK?"
[23:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at John and his new friend. 1"You must have a lot of charisma."
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods at Erevis, letting out a sigh. "Megumi is going to beat me up.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> PRomise.
[23:06] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma nods, and lowers John to the ground.
[23:06] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> If you would like, I could beat her up first. 6She looks at Zephyr
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John gives Dias a smile. "Nah, we understand each other."
[23:06] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> At least she'll beat you up. She'll bloody well kill me.
[23:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sweet.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John hops off
09[23:06] <13@Jennifer> "Preemphative countermeasures." *she grins a bit*
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, no no, I'll deserve it, Nat.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC tilts her head slightly than nods.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I think she will lecture me the most for not including her on this.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts moving towards the now opened door. 1"Well boys and girls. Let's take the show to them."
15[23:07] * 13Ariel looks to Darien, and heads to the door.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets do it.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Ariel, following her.
09[23:08] <13@Jennifer> "Oh god I hate her lectures."
[23:08] <13@Xanatos> It's for her own good, I'm sure she'll understand.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, touching her head. <Chii?>
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC starts moving towards the doorway now.
[23:08] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek eyes Xanatos and Erevis, then turns and moves for the door.
15[23:08] * 13@Jennifer heads after SPoC.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr heads for the doorway.
[23:08] <13@Kit> <Chii> <What's going on? This thing on?"
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <Yeah, it's on. Are you okay?>
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the lead
[23:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias adjusts his brown headband and adjusts his gloves as he moves behind Cheryl
[23:09] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma plops down behind the others, looking like a sad huge war machine.
[23:09] <13@Kit> <Chii> <Of course. I think I pissed off the shoutybot. ...'Course now it works for us for some reason. Where are you guys? We lost you.>
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <We're in the base.> 6* Cheryl and Chii's connection gets weaker again
15[23:10] * 13@Xanatos shifts slightly and glances up at Pantasma, his eyes widening slightly.
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Phantasma. "Do not be sad. He will return."
[23:10] <13@Kit> <Chii> <We need to know where. Cheryl? ...Cheryl?>
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns as she loses Chii. "Goddammit."
[23:11] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma nods uncertainly.
15[23:11] * 13@Jennifer frowns, looking around for trouble at the sudden exclaimation.
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> Don't you work for VI?
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek runs a hand over his head, glancing around slightly.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks ahead. "Be ready for anything."
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peers at the broken HQ, having been ordered there by Cheryl in Part 1.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> ... Needs cleaning.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks around, then at Dawn
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Now what?
[23:13] <13@Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He shrugs, shaking his head.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks at sky. "Strange. V.I. always want us. Yet no one try to get us. Why?"
[23:14] <13@Kit> 6Dawn frowns, then shrugs again.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> Location: Chad's Shuttle
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they fly along, they're in the open country area outside Tokyo
[23:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* The sensors indicate they're almost at the spot Cassandra's coordinates gave
15[23:17] * 13Chad`Winters finishes doing what he can for the shuttle on his end. 1"If it get's worse let us know."
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina jerks. "Stop the shuttle now."
15[23:17] * 13Chad`Winters pulls the shuttle to a stop.
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve opens her eyes to look at Katrina
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's faint, but there's a lot of minds here. 6* There's absolutely nothing in front of them - no trees, rocks, nothing
[23:18] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh. Kat, are you sure?
[23:18] <13Chad`Winters> Possibly cloaked. 6He brings up his sensors, scanning.
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* The scans bounce back.'
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure.
[23:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. Lucky you're with us or we'd all be dead right about now.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin shifts to painfully stand.
[23:19] <13Chad`Winters> Something's bouncing back the scans. 6He rubs his face as he thinks
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> It's a cloak. A cloak would do that, I think
[23:19] <13Chad`Winters> Aye.
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> We should shoot the cowards for hiding
[23:20] <13Chad`Winters> They most likely know we're already here.
[23:20] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So they've got a cloak but no guns to shoot at us?
[23:20] <13Chad`Winters> Lilith, how big of an emp blast can you make?
[23:21] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Limited without a target visible...
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe they're hoping we won't notice? Or don't want to risk killing Chad.
[23:21] <13Chad`Winters> Well we need to get in.
[23:22] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I hope so. But, if that's the case, then just as soon as we do something, they'll try to shoot us down.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> <X> Have Cassandra 2000 shoot it
[23:22] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel closes there eyes, trying to focus on sensing what Katrina was talking about
[23:22] <13Cassandra`> ...don't call me that...that's so...20th century.
15[23:22] * 13Chad`Winters grunts and swings the shuttle around, lowering the ramp. 1"Cass do it now."
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel can't sense anything in particular.
[23:22] <13Cassandra`> Ok, walks to the open ramp and deploys her guns before she fires!
[23:22] <13Cassandra`> Ok *walks to the open ramp and deploys her guns before she fires!*
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* A giant beam flies out and hits --- something invisible. A wavering thing begins to appear, and a large metallic structure comes into view, several stories high
[23:23] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...holy shit man, I wish I had a huge invisible tower.
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at him
[23:23] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stares, "I didn't sense... that... wow..."
15[23:23] * 13Chad`Winters swings the shuttle around so he can see it, quickly looking for a way in.
[23:24] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You know...just to say I had one.
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be the ground entrance.
15[23:24] * 13Chad`Winters starts flying towards the ground entrance
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tower fires off a wave, and all equipment shuts down. Cassandra would even feel slightly shorted out
15[23:25] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the controls going dead. 1"Everyone brace yourselfs for impact.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve tenses.
[23:25] <13Cassandra`> EMP wave!
[23:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches out to pull Kat and Chii close to him, bracing.
15[23:25] * 13Chad`Winters pulls open a control panel and tries to bring power back on.
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle jerks as a hand grabs it, invisible that it may be, and lowers them in slowly toward a hanger door opening
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> They plan to capture us. We should get off the shuttle now
15[23:27] * 13Chad`Winters looks around, tense and unbuckles himself, his left hand drawing Ebony out. 1"Agreed."
[23:27] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You guys lead, i'll follow.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks his gun, then puts an arm around Freyja
[23:27] <13@Kit> 6Freyja eyes Paladin, blinking.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* X goes to open a ripple to the outside of the building
[23:27] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel heads through X's ripple since it's already open
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin begins to overload his last gun and tosses it into the engine compartment
15[23:28] * 13Chad`Winters eyes X and quickly grabs something from his belt and moves back to the engine and slapping a charge on it. He turns and steps back out.
[23:28] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks to move through the ripple, dragging Kat and Chii if he has too.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets up and moves through the ripple. Paladin looks at Chad, then smiles
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve rises to her feet and steps through
15[23:28] * 13Chad`Winters grunts at Paladin and steps through after Eve
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves through with Freyja
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is tractored on into the hanger. X leans against Lilith a bit
[23:29] <13@Kit> 6Lilith follows last, prepared to shield from the ripple.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle blows up, shaking the hanger area
[23:29] <13Chad`Winters> That'll distract them for a bit.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin walks along the tower, then finally finds a side maintance entrance.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* He strains to try to open it
15[23:31] * 13Chad`Winters moves over to the door and helps Paladin
[23:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives Kat a smile and then moves over towards Chad and Paladin.
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds onto Chii like a doll
[23:31] <13@Kit> 6Freyja hangs back, choosing to actually walk for the moment.
[23:31] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...I wonder if many people run into a giant invisible tower this big..."
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin and Chad manage to get the door open
[23:31] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...K-Kat, I'm fine now, you know." 6She peers upward.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sorry. 6* She sets her down
[23:32] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Your energy is running low, mistress?
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
[23:32] <13@Kit> 6Chii blinks at Katrina. 1"...It's fine. I'm just saying."
15[23:32] * 13Chad`Winters glances at X. 1"Let Raquel do all the rippling until you can recover."
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> <X> If IX can manage.
[23:33] <13Chad`Winters> She'll have to. 6He steps inside, sweeping with his pistols
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances inside. It's a tight passage in
[23:33] <13@Kit> 6Lilith eyes X, then reverts forms to malamute.
[23:33] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...man I hate small areas.
15[23:34] * 13Chad`Winters starts walking along.
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin follows after. "I'm out of weapons."
[23:35] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I have a pistol, Paladin. Try not to blow it up, though. 6He pulls it out as he moves, reaching it forward.
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves after them, and X follows after scratching Lilith
[23:35] <13@Kit> 6Chii squints at Katrina, then waves her hands at her.
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Make sure it doesn't explode.
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Chii, then reaches down to pick her up
[23:35] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey I was being cautious. Clone's are scary.
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes it, eyeing it, then Marcus
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The V.I. troops drag the damage Cassandra from the shuttle wreckage and move off to experiment on her
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tight passage comes to another maintenance door.
[23:37] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I only had one exploding gun anyway. 6He notes with a huff.
[23:37] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves along, gazing from side to side warily-- even in dog form she's not to be taken too lightly, at least half height of most on fours.
15[23:37] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his right hand back to Paladin, holding his mod. gun to him. 1"Give this to Eve." 6He stops at the maintence door. 1"KAt, do you sense anyone?"
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes it, then shifts it back to Eve.
[23:37] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves along warily, planning to conserve energy in case they really need it.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I sense minds all over. I can't really discern where they're at right now. Sorry.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think this area is clear.
15[23:38] * 13Chad`Winters opens the door slowly and peers inside.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's a normal hallway. It does look clear.
15[23:38] * 13Chad`Winters steps inside, sweeping the area. 1"Clear."
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps through as well, sweeping as well.
[23:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pulls up his shotgun, since he strapped it to his back and he glances around as he steps out, not sweeping since that's for women.
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts so Chii can wrist on her hip then steps through.
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve steps through with a tired sigh.
14[23:40] * Cassandra` (Psy@h50.16.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[23:40] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Kind of ticking me off that I'm not sensing killing intent.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* The hallway goes both ways, making it hard to tell which way to go
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe they don't intend to kill us
15[23:40] * 13Chad`Winters closes his eyes for a second and then opens them, moving down one the hallway to the left.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers about, then follows Chad.
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve walks along after Chad. Paladin takes the rear
[23:41] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances left then right, then shrugs and moves after Chad. 1After all this time of trying to kill everyone though?
[23:41] <13@Kit> <Chii> That'd be a first..
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm just saying, they disabled us, then tried to pull us in.
[23:41] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Probably just a Chad and Eve thing, I bet.
[23:42] <13Chad`Winters> Probably.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* The hallway leads to a room at the end, which appears to be a lab of sorts.
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Tubes are visible, with figures inside them, and computers and terminals scatter the area.
15[23:43] * 13Chad`Winters slides upto the door and then opens it, moving inside.
[23:43] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Another cloning place? 6He mumurs as he glances around.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps in after Chad, peering about.
[23:44] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks around warily, remembering what happened last time they were in a place like this.
[23:44] <13@Kit> <Chii> There have been a good number of them..." 6She points out.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina and Eve both walk in now, and Eve moves to eye the terminals, when there's a movement. Alexander Cran steps around one of the tubs, a gun in hand, wearing what appears to be commando black tactical suits of Chad's desgn
15[23:44] * 13Chad`Winters glances at the figures inside the turbes as he moves for a computer.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander stops, looking surprised.
15[23:44] * 13Chad`Winters swings Ebony towards Alexander as he steps out.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Eve looks up at Alexander.
[23:44] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and aims at him with his shotgun, tilting his head.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> That explosion was you all. 6* His eyes fall on Eve.
[23:44] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks surprised that he's surprised
15[23:45] * 13Chad`Winters lowers his gun. 1"Where would they hold, Aya?"
[23:45] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So we automatically know he's not a clone?
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> ... Aya. 6* He pauses, then shakes his head, looking tired. "There's...a larger facility above us."
[23:45] <13Chad`Winters> Than that's where I'm heading.
[23:45] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Works for me. 6He shrugs and lowers his shotgun.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Alexander. Thank God. 6* She walks over to him.
15[23:46] * 13Chad`Winters tries to access one of the terminals.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin holds onto his gun still, eyeing Alexander. Alexander eyes Paladin, then immediately aims at him.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin jerks, aiming at Paladin. Katrina looks between the two
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> *Alexnader
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Chad. That Gordon Paladin is a clone.
[23:47] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh hold on, how do you know that?
[23:47] <13Chad`Winters> Noted. 6He pulls out his datapad and hooks it upto the terminal
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods his head at one of the tubes behind him. "There's a Gordon Paladin in that who looks rather dead."
[23:48] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well why the hell would a clone help us?
[23:48] <13@Kit> 6Chii eyes the two. 1"Many reasons.."
[23:48] <13Chad`Winters> To make sure I come here most likely.
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Alexander, then moves around him, their guns still aimed at each other, then shifts toward the tube Alexander indicated.
[23:48] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh, I don't think he knew. 6He notes now, rubbing his head with a frown.
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I never sensed hostile intentions from him.
[23:49] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...did... they want us here...?"
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander lowers the gun, peering at Eve, studying her, clearly checking her over.
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms.
[23:49] <13@Kit> <Freyja> Some dreams are better left lucid.
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin stares at the tube at the far end, then rests his head against it
[23:50] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> It doesn't matter, we still need to get Aya and possibly blow this place sky-high.
15[23:50] * 13Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad, eyeing it. 1"I got a map." 6He looks over at Alexander and Eve. 1"Best if you two stayed here and found out what you can from the terminals and something to save Eve."
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I've been looking. If the old bastard has a sample of her, he's got it on himself.
[23:51] <13Chad`Winters> Leverage.
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I don't frankly plan to be played as pawn anymore.
[23:51] <13@Kit> <Freyja> Then I'll go. If something happened to Eve it would make those two sad.
[23:51] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves over, "...Paladin?"
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Raquel. "Yes, Raquel?"
[23:51] <13Chad`Winters> Everyone's coming. 6He notes and starts moving towards the exit
[23:52] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...are you okay?"
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Sounds good. We can also shoot anyone who turns against us.
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes the PAladin, then moves after Chad, taking Eve's hand
[23:52] <13@Kit> <Chii> Since when are you so bloodthirsty, Xandy?
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Since I found out the General was still alive and using my office as a joke
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Paladin, a sad look, then moves after them
15[23:53] * 13Chad`Winters opens the door and peers outside.
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods at Raquel, then moves to follow the others.
[23:53] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a breath and moves forward.
[23:53] <13@Kit> <Chii> The 'general?' Certainly are a lot of those..
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander grits his teeth. Though his mind can't be read, his body language suggests he's in extreme pain
[23:54] <13@Kit> <Chii> Wait, you mean ol' man Cran?
[23:54] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah. General Cran.
[23:54] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel heads after Paladin.
15[23:54] * 13Chad`Winters steps out and starts making his way towars the upper facility.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> That would be him. After my talk with Starr, and the clone degradation, I started looking into things. FOund my way here.
[23:54] <13@Kit> <Chii> Tch, no wonder Cherry's in such a pissy mood lately.
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes the rear this time, to watch Paladin
[23:55] <13Chad`Winters> You'd be surprised what you'd learn if you asked, Chii.
[23:55] <13@Kit> <Chii> Some things she doesn't like to tell me. I don't ask.
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> One warning, Chad, I don't know what age the old man is now. He's got a ton of bodies like me.
[23:55] <13Chad`Winters> So I shoot everyone but you than.
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Charming.
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* They come to a set of stairs.
[23:56] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Let's hope you're the only one in that slick tact suit.
[23:56] <13@Kit> <Chii> Everyone but him..? Woah. Xandy, I think you're growing on him.
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I admit, I'm shocked he didn't shoot me on sight.
[23:56] <13@Kit> <Chii> Don't expect any family picnics, though.
[23:56] <13Chad`Winters> We'll most likely find Aya near him than too. 6He moves to the stairs, looking up than starts moving up it.
[23:56] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Probably planned on torturing Aya's location out of you, but you kinda ruined his fun.
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander snorts. "The child doesn't deserve what the old man plans."
15[23:57] * 13Chad`Winters grunts in response to Marcus.
[23:57] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...what... does he plan?"
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Her DNA samples, along with my strengethening of them, will cure him of his degradation
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> He'll need to take it all, though
[23:58] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel cringes.
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* The stairs lead to a corridor where a set of metal doors are closed, with two guards are standing
[23:58] <13@Kit> <Chii> What is he? A vampire? DNA's complete information can be mapped off one cell!
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. He is a vampire now. His time on Famfrit changed him.
[23:59] <13Chad`Winters> This is where I say something to prove some arbitrary point to you Alex. 6He slows to a stop, eyeing the guards.
[23:59] <13@Kit> <Chii> W-wait, what?
[23:59] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You don't mean a literal vampire, right? 6He coughs, eyeing the guards.
[23:59] <13@Kit> 6Chii shivers on Kat.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards eye them, then tap their comms. "They're here, sir."
13[00:00] * Day changed to Thursday, November 20th 2008.
Session Time: Thu Nov 20 00:00:00 2008
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards nod at whatever response they get, and hit the door open button. "You may enter."
[00:00] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...what the fuck is going on?
15[00:00] * 13Chad`Winters twitches slightly, probably holding back the urge to shoot them anyways.
[00:00] <13@Kit> <Chii> Eeeh! No way, I don't want a vampire invitation!
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other side of the door appears to be a larger lab
15[00:01] * 13Chad`Winters moves past them and inside to the larger lab now
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander follows after him, and Eve frowns a bit, not liking this. Katrina and Paladin move after them
[00:01] <13@Kit> 6Lilith eyes the guards, giving a deep, low growl as she passes.
[00:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a sigh, moving along.
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they enter, they can see in the tanks, dozens of Alexander Crans, all floating in their respective tubes. At the far end, Aya can be seen, resting on a table, an IV in her arm.
15[00:02] * 13Chad`Winters starts moving towards Aya, quickly.
[00:02] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...holy shit.
[00:02] <13@Kit> 6Chii clenches her teeth slightly. 1"...Aya.."
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chad bounces into a force field. Stepping into view on the other side is Alexander Cran. The same age as the one with them.
[00:02] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel enters, and tenses as she sees her friend there. She looks around for an inevitable trap.
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> Hello, Chad. My son.
15[00:02] * 13Chad`Winters growls as he steps back.
[00:02] <13Chad`Winters> Lower this field so I can give you a hug.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> I don't think so. In your state, you want to kill me.
[00:03] <13@Kit> <Chii> I'll give him a kiss..
[00:03] <13Chad`Winters> It's what happens to people who go after my daughter.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> I haven't harmed Aya.
[00:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around quietly, looking for the source of the forcefield.
[00:03] <13Chad`Winters> And yet she's over there.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps up beside Chad, staring at himself.
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> I needed to study her to see what my ... clone accomplished.
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* PAladin nudges Marcus, pointing at a device on the other side, generating it
[00:04] <13Chad`Winters> That's my daughter you're talking about.
[00:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and hmms, frowning. 1Well so much for that.
[00:05] <13@Kit> <Chii> I can probably get it, Marcus.
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> It's my granddaughter. And despite what you've been told, I have no plans to kill her for my own sake.
[00:05] <13@Kit> 6Chii cracks her knuckles slowly.
[00:05] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah well, let's make sure we don't act hasty.
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah? And what do you have planned. 6His left hand tightens around Ebony.
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> Half your DNA, and half of her will save me. It's what you planned to do for my clone ,wasn't it?"
[00:05] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel narrows her eyes on Cran, trying to open a pinpoint ripple on the other side of the field, just to see if it's possible.
[00:06] <13Chad`Winters> You want it for yourself.
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> Yes.
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes Chad once, then Cran.
[00:06] <13Chad`Winters> Why not wake Aya up and ask her yourself?
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel can make one, though it's slightly unstable - whatever Cran has in there, it's disrupting her abilities specifically.
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> A lot of pressure to put on a young girl. Save this man over this one? Her father hates them both. I've stepped out of your life for years, Chad, yet something tells me you hate me more than ever.
[00:08] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe it's because you've been running VI, trying to kidnap his daughter for god knows how long. You know...just a thought.
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran flexes his hand as he talks, eyeing it
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> And where has Earth gotten since the Dark War began? Hm? Our reality is dying now thanks to the loss of it's crystals. OUr enemies are lining against us.
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> We need a capable leader and the technology to defend ourselves.
[00:09] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So instead you constantly attack us and cripple us with in-fighting? Balls to that.
[00:09] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I think body jumping has made your mind deteroriate old man
[00:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> The fact you were suspectible to your inner fighting speaks volumes.
[00:10] <13Chad`Winters> You had no right to bring my daughter into this, Cran. None at all.
[00:10] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yes, because using clones of our friends and allies means we were already screwed from the start right? We never trusted each other. 6He notes sarcastically, snorting.
[00:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> Your greatest weapon is also your biggest threat. Using Weapon II has you have. I tried to have eliminated for your sake, Chad, but time and time again you all prevail in bringing yourselves down
[00:10] <13@DeathStar> <X> ...
[00:11] <13Chad`Winters> We've accomplished far more than you and your men have.
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran flexes his hand again, grinding his teeth, a hint of madness that seems to be fueled by pain. "Is that so? And what have you accomplished, son?"
[00:12] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dude we took out the fucking Dark Ones. Could you do that? I doubt it.
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> Did you? Did you really? You hang out wiht a Dark One who leads you all about in her little games? And Dark Technology is rampant. I've amassed a large amount of it myself.
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran peers at Marcus
[00:13] <13Chad`Winters> My daughters all the accomplishment I need to be proud of.
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin speaks to Raquel, calmly. "Your ripple may not be stable to go through, but if you can position at the shield generation, we can attack through it."
[00:13] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> So you found some left over tech and suddenly they're not gone? Brilliant.
[00:14] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Err. No Brilliant. Something more marcusy you get the point.
[00:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran shakes his head. "The universe is merely in a lull. When enough people get their hands on their technology, a more dangerous will begin; as children play with the toys that gods left behind."
[00:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cran> One man managed to bring Earth to it's knees with a virus.
[00:15] <13Chad`Winters> You sit in the background hiding, judging, as if you're far above everyone else. But where were you when people needed help the most? Where were you when Ben was captured and lost?"
[00:15] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly, and concentrates on posistioning the ripple under the generator so it's exit isn't immediately obvious.
[00:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran stops at that, then looks away. "Alpha Cheryl claims she does not have a father."
[00:16] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Well. This is just what I needed to see before I died. The pathetic material that I was clone from. You make me retchedly sick.
[00:16] <13Chad`Winters> You blame her?
[00:16] <13Chad`Winters> You chose ambition over everything else.
[00:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran eyes his clone, pointing a him. "YOU are a failure. A pawn who thinks he had a mind of his own." 6* He looks at Chad. "I gave up a lot for you and Serena and Cheryl. But all of you turned your backs on ME."
[00:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Lease you see why Chad had such a grudge, right? Not that it's your fault, of course.
[00:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets his gun ready, then aims at the ripple and fires, hitting the device. The force field flickers.
[00:18] <13Chad`Winters> Wrong. I took the chance to see what kind of man my father was and instead of showing me a great man, you decided to go into hiding.
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander pauses, then leaps through a flicker, grabbing Cran by the throat. "Get Aya."
15[00:18] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the flicker timing it and leaps through, moving towards Aya
[00:18] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel quickly moves to remove any restraints on Aya
[00:18] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh of course, leap at the man that looks just like you. 6He begins to advance, glancing around cautiously.
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander grabs his gun and fires at Cran, who dodges and punches Alexander.
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Stare at our clothing, then, Jone.s
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X movs through now, and gets a holy arrow ready.
[00:19] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...or shoot the one that's an asshole."
[00:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Hah, holy shit Raquel, nice one.
[00:19] <13@Kit> <Chii> Heh.
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran rubs his lips, then moves for a button on the wall.
15[00:19] * 13Chad`Winters slides upto Aya, his hand sliding an eyelid open as she looks inside
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve watches, not moving for now.
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya appears to be drugged and out of it
15[00:20] * 13Chad`Winters grabs the IV and rips it out. He aims Ebony at Cran. 1"Stop. Now."
[00:20] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts and runs forward, trying to dive and tackle Cran before he can get to the button.
[00:20] <13@Kit> <Chii> Oh no you don't." 6She finishes seals, holding her hands out after hopping from Katrina, then brings her hands together, focusing on Cran. 1"Raiton!" Calling out arcs of electricity.
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran is tackled, and both him and Marcus are electrified.
[00:21] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Oo-Oops!
[00:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces. "Marcus."
[00:21] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves into a posistion between Cran and Aya
[00:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus groans, smoking coming off of him.
[00:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander grabs his gun again, approaching Cran, aiming at his forehead.
[00:21] <13@Kit> <Chii> S-Sorry." 6She smiles at Katrina nervously. 1"Wh-what can I say? He makes a good nimrod.
[00:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran shoves Marcus away, rising painfully.
[00:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X fires her holy arrow, hitting Cran in the side.
15[00:22] * 13Chad`Winters lifts Aya up, holding her tightly as he looks over at Cran now.
[00:22] <13@Kit> 6Lilith lunges at Cran, snarling as she throws her weight at Cran to pounce upon him.
[00:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cran is pounced on, falling down. Alexander stops over Cran, his gun still aimed.
[00:23] <13Chad`Winters> It's not worth it, Alex.
[00:23] <13@Kit> 6Lilith snaps and bites at Cran, keeping her weight over him
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> You know what happens when man plays god, General Cran? Their creations deny him. 6* He fires into Cran's head to kill him, then eyes Chad. "It's best not to let anything like him live."
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina helps Marcus up, nodding to Chii
[00:24] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel pauses, and looks at the clones. Wondering if any of them were prepped in advance...
15[00:24] * 13Chad`Winters snorts and he turns, firing kill shots for the Alexander clones in the tubes
[00:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander aims at the tubes, beginning to fire into each one
[00:24] <13@Kit> 6Lilith pauses as she's splattered, backing off quickly.
[00:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly glances up at Chii and narrows his eyes at her. 1Watch your back tiny. 6He says in a joke, well...maybe it's a joke.
[00:24] <13@Kit> 6Chii jerks and hides behind Katrina's leg.
[00:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs Chii
[00:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches them destroy the tubes, silent. X frowns in thought. <X> I was created to destroy II because that man feared him?
[00:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a breath. 1Fuck I think I have to pee now.
[00:25] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves away from the tubes, not wanting to get that gunk near her.
[00:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander lowers his aim, then eyes his hand. His veins are showing and they look dark
[00:25] <13@Kit> 6Chii gazes around at Marcus from behind Katrina, her cheeks puffed and face taut into a pouting expression, ready to cry.
[00:26] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah come'ere Chii. 6He motions.
[00:26] <13@Kit> 6Chii shakes her head quickly and hides again.
15[00:26] * 13Chad`Winters lowers his gun. 1"Someone check Cran's body for any dna samples."
[00:26] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Funny how I can't stay mad at her when she's little like that. 6He laughs once.
[00:26] <13@Kit> 6Lilith eyes Chad, then sniffs around Cran.
[00:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks at Cran, sliding his hand into his pocket.
[00:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's indeed a vial in a pocket.
[00:27] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks at Alexander and frowns, "...maybe... we should have saved one... until we found a cure..."
[00:28] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I won't become an abomination like that.
[00:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve walks over, putting a hand on Alexander's shoulder
15[00:28] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Alexander. 1"And how much time do you have left?"
[00:28] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Hours.
[00:28] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...but... you shouldn't die... like this."
[00:28] <13Chad`Winters> Not enough time to get back to Tokyo.
[00:28] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Alex...
[00:29] <13@Kit> <Chii> It can't be the end of Xandy. It just doesn't seem right without that sinister shadow overlooking us.
[00:29] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> We can use...ripples or something, can't we?
[00:29] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Chad, hoping there's something he can do.
[00:29] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We got more important things to worry about.
[00:29] <13Chad`Winters> This place is already best equipped to save Alexanders life.
[00:29] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I don't see the Gear he was building here.
[00:30] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Gear or not, Chad's right. The rest of us can go find that gear.
[00:30] <13Chad`Winters> Means it's at the other base than.
[00:30] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh wait. Dias and Cheryl are there, it's toast.
[00:30] <13Ariel> Raquel> "...can... you help him?"
[00:30] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> It might be more than they can handle. the General has had years to perfect it.
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> If he gets a power source, it'll be a nightmare, and we can't not know if he had a clone there.
[00:31] <13Chad`Winters> He probably did.
[00:31] <13@Kit> <Chii> Usually in RPGs even if the necessary time to finish something hasn't come, somehow it's still been completed..
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander stares at Chii now
[00:31] <13@Kit> <Chii> What? They're my favorite games. Tch.
[00:32] <13Ariel> Raquel> "......"
[00:32] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I think you should do whatever you can to save yourself, Alex. Those of us that aren't needed for the process and go to hopefully give them support.
[00:32] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> ... 6* He looks at Eve. "I think it's best if we just let me die here. It's time to end that man's legacy."
[00:32] <13@Kit> <Chii> Yeah, you old coot. You only live once.
[00:32] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Dammit, Alex.
[00:32] <13Chad`Winters> And here I thought you weren't him.
[00:32] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Fuck his legacy, start your own.
[00:33] <13@Kit> <Chii> You really don't want to be like him?" 6She gestures to Marcus.
[00:33] <13@Kit> <Chii> Give him a big metaphorical finger.
[00:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander sighs at Chad and Marcus. "...... You realize, Chad, that this would be incrediblely painful to Aya."
[00:33] <13Ariel> Raquel> *goes over to Alexander* "...if you're worried about that... you have as long as the rest of us live... so don't give up now..."
[00:33] <13Chad`Winters> She already said she'd do it.
[00:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander closes his eyes. "Fine. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. But lets make sure Eve's sample is in tact first, shall we?"
[00:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin has secretly snuck off as they were all talking
15[00:35] * 13Chad`Winters looks at the others. 1"You guys should leave, than." 6He gives Marcus the coordinates.
[00:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes the coordinates and tilts his head. 1With uh, what shuttle?
15[00:36] * 13Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad and starts eyeing it.
[00:36] <13@Kit> 6Freyja dusts her hands off after dropping the outside guards, nodding inward at the duscussion, then peers down the hall where Paladin snuck off, shaking her head. She reaches up and snaps her fingers, disappearing.
[00:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chad would find a location for Cran's personal shuttle.
[00:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves down the hallway, eyeing his own hand, which is burning. He appears to be heading back for the first lab.
[00:36] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You think the whole mess of people here will give you any trouble?
15[00:36] * 13Chad`Winters pulls out a mini pda from his datapad and tosses it to Marcus. 1"Follow this."
[00:37] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I'll pretend to be the General if need be
[00:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks to catch it and nods. 1Alright. Good luck. 6He shifts to his feet and then turns to follow the directions.
[00:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows Marcus. Katrina nods to Chad and the others, then goes after him
[00:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve lets out a sigh. Alexander peers at Chad. "...THank you."
[00:38] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks at Chad, Alexander and co, hesitating before running off.
15[00:38] * 13Chad`Winters nods to Alexander and sets his daughter back on the table, hooking the iv back up.
[00:38] <13@Kit> <Chii> Awesome. Now I can still visit Xandy and Evie.
[00:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps into the lab and walks up to the other Paladin, staring at him
[00:39] <13Chad`Winters> Shouldn't you be with Cheryl? They'll need you if Ragnarok is powered up
[00:39] <13@Kit> <Chii> I'm going, I'm going." 6She pulls an eyelid down, sticking her tongue out at Chad.
[00:40] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly, "I..." 6Nods again. "...take care of him." 6She opens a ripple to catch the others and hurries off.
[00:40] <13@Kit> 6Then runs back down the hall.
[00:40] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[00:40] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of Kitties
[00:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao is going through Zephyr's clothing, tossing them out of her closest
[00:41] <13@DeathStar> *closet
[00:41] <13@Kit> 6Megumi gasps. 1"A-Ao, what are you doing..!?"
[00:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks back at Megumi. "Looking for something to wear. She has sucky clothing."
[00:42] <13@Kit> <Megumi> Why Zephy's?
[00:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao goes to say something, then jerks, holding her head.
[00:42] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Shit.
[00:42] <13@Kit> <Megumi> They are not!!
[00:42] <13@Kit> 6Megumi sniffles slightly. 1"I bought some of those.."
[00:42] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> N-Not the clothes, idiot. Sammael...she's using a lot of power...
[00:43] <13@Kit> 6Megumi pauses, tilting her head. 1"Huh?"
[00:43] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Sammael is accessing a lot of hyperspace, and she's not stopping!!!
[00:43] <13@Kit> <Megumi> C-Can you not just cut her off?
[00:43] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Normally, yes. But she's like a fucking dam. It's too much.
[00:44] <13@Kit> <Megumi> What is she doing now!?
[00:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Megumi would feel probably tension from both Zephyr and Ariel right now, and to a degree Erevis. Something big is happening
[00:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao wearily flops onto the floor
[00:45] <13@Kit> 6Megumi blinks and moves over quickly, holding out a hand to cushion her fall. 1"Ao..!?"
[00:45] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Sammael will kill herself...if she does this... 6* She manages to say, closing her eyes now
[00:45] <13@Kit> <Megumi> ..Ao? Ao..! AO!
[00:46] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[00:46] <13@DeathStar> Location: Team Cheryl
[00:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* As the team moves through the hallway, they come into a large hanger, where before them is a 90% complete Ragnarok, towering higher than any Gear.
[00:47] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...bloody hell that's a big machine.
[00:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the giant Ragnarok. 1"Balls."
15[00:47] * 13@Jennifer slowly looks up at the thing, staring. "That's... wow..." *she says in a whisper*
[00:47] <13Ariel> "...so, this time, do I get an 'I told you so'?"
[00:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, it begins to glow, and in the center of it, a hyperspace ball forms.
[00:47] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> ...I believe that is something to worry about.
[00:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ragnarok begins to move.
[00:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... Fuck. Fuck.
09[00:47] <13@Jennifer> "That's an 'oh shit' moment..."
[00:47] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks. 1The bloody fuck is it doing using hyperspace!?
15[00:47] * 13Ariel nods, "Well... it seems we get a round three."
[00:48] <13@DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
[00:48] <13@DeathStar> Sorry about the overtime, wanted to do the Cran/Chad stuff in an Erevis ep
[00:48] <13Chad`Winters> Well besides it running late, it was good.
