[21:00] <13@Deathstar> Stardate: 10-590.4.24. 2 days after last episode. 3 days since Darien went MIA.
[21:00] <13@Deathstar> Location: House of Starr
[21:01] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore works on breakfast, the morning still early.
03[21:01] * Jennifer is now known as Sammael
03[21:01] * Xanatos is now known as Drasek
15[21:01] * 13Chad`Winters sits outside by the pool, his datapad infront of him, spread out.
15[21:01] * 13@Sammael is up early again, she hasn't slept in for a while now. Sitting at the table, looking over her datapad, a frown of worry on her face, scratching her head a bit.
[21:02] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya comes out of her room, yawning tiredly, and she moves to take a seat at the table
15[21:03] * 13@Sammael looks over and gives Aya a weak smile, her mind reflecting perfectly calm and clear now. "Good morning Aya."
[21:03] <13Kit> 6A croissant is waved in front of Aya.
[21:03] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya lifts her face to peer at it, distracted from greeting
15[21:03] * 13@Drasek steps into the kitchen from the basement, he rubs his temple slightly, glancing over towards Fiore. 1Morning, luv.
[21:04] <13Kit> 6Dawn smiles slightly, waving it about persistently.
[21:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore nods. "Good morning."
15[21:04] * 13@Sammael rubs her temple a little. "Still no word from Darien."
15[21:04] * 13Chad`Winters glances at the time then stands up, rubbing his face tiredly. He grabs his datapad and steps inside.
[21:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya takes it after a moment's hesitation. "Thank you..." 6* She glances at Sam now
15[21:04] * 13@Drasek moves over to sit down at the table.
15[21:05] * 13@Sammael seems to have been announcing for Drasek. She blinks a bit and taps on her datapad.
[21:05] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore sets down plates of pancakes, bacon, and eggs.
15[21:06] * 13@Drasek smiles to Fiore. 1I didn't expect him too. Do you want to go look for him?
15[21:06] * 13Chad`Winters steps up behind Aya and rubs his shoulder with his left hand. 1"Morning princess."
[21:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya looks over. "Good morning, Dad."
15[21:06] * 13@Sammael nods graciously to Fiore and starts to eat. "I would like to... I've been trying to find anything I can from here but it's doing no good."
[21:07] <13@Deathstar> 6* Chad's comm beeps.
15[21:07] * 13Chad`Winters goes to sit than pauses, reaching up to his ear. 1"Yes?"
[21:07] <13@Deathstar> 6* Static blasts his ear.
15[21:07] * 13@Sammael eats a piece of bacon, looking up at Chad.
[21:07] <13Kit> 6Dawn moves to take a seat across the table from Aya, the croissant just a warmed one with cream cheese.
15[21:07] * 13@Drasek begins to eat, then glances towards Chad.
[21:08] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore takes a seat, and Aya takes a bite of the croissant.
15[21:08] * 13Chad`Winters winces for a moment than taps his datapad, using it to try and clear up the signal. 1"Hello?"
15[21:08] * 13@Sammael finishes the piece of bacon.
[21:08] <13@Deathstar> 6* The static whirls and a voice comes through that sounds like Darien. "Chad? ~~~ally. Got ~~~ough."
15[21:09] * 13Chad`Winters 's eyes go wide, than shifts to a serious look. 1"Darien? Where are you?"
15[21:09] * 13@Drasek pauses slightly and eyes Chad more seriously now.
[21:10] <13@Deathstar> 6* The signal begins to clear up some. Darien's voice is more clear, though slurred, as if drunk. "The Janus...building. Buried under who knows how many feet of rock and debris."
[21:11] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya looks at Chad, stopping her eating now. Fiore munches on her pancake
[21:11] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> How bad is it? 6He motions for Drasek to get a car ready.
[21:11] <13@Drasek> This is delicious luv. 6He notes to Fiore, having glanced to her, missing chad's motion.
[21:12] <13@Deathstar> 6* A pause and a static burst, then Darien goes on. "Bad. Took me this long to get the comm working in the dark. Air's toxic already now. Not enough air down here."
[21:12] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> Arigato
[21:12] <13Kit> 6Dawn eyes Chad, then rubs his forehead and gets up, moving down the hall for the garage.
[21:12] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Keep the comm open as long as possible. I'll try and pinpoint it and hopefully we can find a way to get you faster.
15[21:12] * 13@Sammael gets up, looking between Drasek and Chad. She leans over and pokes Drasek gently. "I think he wants you to do some---" *she watches Dawn go instead*
[21:13] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Good. If I had to guess, I got less than three hours left. 6* He begins to cough
15[21:13] * 13@Sammael looks back at Chad. "What is it?"
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Just control your breathing. 6He lowers his hand, leaving the comm open. 1"It's Darien, he's still buried. Call Zephyr and them and have them meet us at the Janus building. Aya, if you think you can manage, we might need you."
[21:14] <13Kit> 6Dawn starts up a van, since Darien seems to love those.
15[21:14] * 13@Sammael nods and picks her datapad up, giving the Erevis house a ring.
[21:14] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya nods a few times.
15[21:14] * 13@Drasek finishes eating and stands up, dusting his hands off.
[21:15] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore puts her food down and rises. She moves to go after Dawn
15[21:15] * 13@Drasek steps after Fiore. 1Hope the bloke makes it. 6He notes.
15[21:15] * 13@Sammael starts after Drasek, waiting for someone to pick up.
15[21:16] * 13Chad`Winters begins typing on his datapad to try and pinpoint the location. He moves his hand to his ear. 1"I'm gonna be quiet for awhile, it's gonna be faster if I get a shuttle to pick us up and get to you."
[21:16] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> Yes. Hope.
[21:16] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya moves to go after the others.
[21:16] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Kay.
15[21:16] * 13Chad`Winters switches his comm to an open line. 1"Alexander."
15[21:16] * 13@Sammael frowns and sighs, "Do they all sleep in over there?"
[21:17] <13@Drasek> Over where?
15[21:17] * 13@Sammael points to her datapad. "Calling Zephyr and Erevis."
[21:17] <13@Deathstar> 6* A moment passes, and Alexander's voice answers the line, tired, but not gruff. "Yes, Chad?"
[21:17] <13@Drasek> Ah right. Yes they do.
[21:18] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Dariens alive, he's still trapped in the Janus ruins. I could use a shuttle to pick us up so we can get there faster. 6He moves towards the garage.
[21:18] <13@Deathstar> <Alexander> .... *He pauses* Alright. I'll send a shuttle to your location
15[21:18] * 13@Sammael frowns and pulls out a small, familiar device, putting it over her ear and a small screen moves over her eyes, she stretches the call to Erevis, Megumi, and Zephyr's personal lines if they have one.
15[21:19] * 13@Drasek moves to get in the van now, stretching slightly.
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Thanks. 6He taps his comm back over to Darien's line. 1"You still there? 6He steps into the garage and motions to kill the van and he moves outside.
[21:19] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya and Fiore take seats in the van
[21:19] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Not goin' anywhere.
15[21:19] * 13@Sammael gets into the van, continuing to try and contact the house of kitties.
[21:19] <13Kit> 6Dawn eyes Chad. 1"...Motions for a car, then doesn't take a car. Figures."
[21:19] <13Kit> 6Dawn turns off the van.
15[21:20] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks up a bit. "Hmm?"
[21:20] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya and Fiore get out of the van now, moving to stand outside the garage.
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> I've got a shuttle on it's way to pick us up so we can get to you faster.
[21:20] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Understood.
[21:20] <13Kit> 6Dawn gets out and stands with the girls.
15[21:20] * 13@Drasek pulls himself out of the van, letting out a breath. 1Wasting time. 6He moves to stand outside.
[21:20] <13Kit> 6Megumi answers her comm. 1"...What? Sheesh..."
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Com> You missed a quaint family reunion.
09[21:21] <13@Sammael> "We've located Darien. Meet us as the Janus facility."
[21:21] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> ... Yeah?
15[21:21] * 13Chad`Winters looks back at Sam. 1"We'll pick them up.
09[21:21] <13@Sammael> "Oh, we'll pick you up."
[21:21] <13@Deathstar> <Ao's voice on comm> Aww, they're going to pick you up.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Yeah. And apparently your body was a more suitable host than mine for one the General's mind transfers.
09[21:22] <13@Sammael> "We'll need Zephyr, and anyone else you can manage."
[21:22] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien chuckles, then begins to cough
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> You should quit smoking.
[21:23] <13Kit> 6Megumi sighs. 1"Will that do, your highness?"
15[21:23] * 13Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad, frowning slightly
[21:24] <13@Deathstar> 6* The datapad just seems to be indicating the Janus facility at this distance
[21:24] <13@Deathstar> 6* Ao can be heard screaming for Zephyr to take up - in her ear
15[21:25] * 13@Sammael sighs a bit. "Sorry about that Megumi."
[21:25] <13@Deathstar> 6* The shuttle can be seen coming in and it lands next to them
[21:25] <13Kit> <Megumi> Think nothing of it. Ao is Ao..
15[21:25] * 13Chad`Winters moves over to the shuttle and up the ramp, taking the co-pilots seat if it's available
09[21:25] <13@Sammael> "I'm sure with time, she will improve."
15[21:25] * 13@Sammael moves onto the shuttle and takes a seat, securing herself.
[21:26] <13Kit> <Megumi> Hear that? You will improve.
15[21:26] * 13@Drasek moves up onto the shuttle.
[21:26] <13Kit> 6Dawn moves up the ramp, eyeing who might be flying.
15[21:26] * 13Chad`Winters gives the pilot Erevis' house' cooridinated
[21:26] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> Nothing to improve on
[21:26] <13@Deathstar> 6* The pilot nods. Fiore and Aya get onto the shuttle
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> You still there Darien?
[21:26] <13Kit> <Megumi> Making beloved happy.
15[21:26] * 13@Sammael frowns, considering stockholm syndrome is more likely to take effect first, but either way will be an improvement.
[21:26] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Yeah. Still here.
03[21:27] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@blk-89-239-1.eastlink.ca) has joined #erevis
03[21:27] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> So anything embarassing you want to tell me just incase?
[21:27] <13@Deathstar> 6* The pilot nods, then begins to fly up and off
09[21:27] <13@Sammael> "All aboard?"
[21:27] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> I'll pass. 6* He notes weakly on the comm.
15[21:27] * 13@Drasek sits down, leaning back. 1How long you think he can handle it, Chad?
15[21:27] * 13Chad`Winters holds up three fingers
[21:28] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek lets out a whistle.
09[21:28] <13@Sammael> "We will be there shortly. See you then." *she says into the comm at her ear*
[21:28] <13Kit> <Megumi> Alright.
15[21:29] * 13@Sammael hangs up. Then goes back to doing something on her datapad.
[21:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> It's alright. Drasek already took over your room and turned it into a walk in bar for himself.
[21:29] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya frowns in worry. "Dad, if you keep making him talk, won't he expend more oxygen?"
[21:29] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien chuckles a bit. "Bastard."
[21:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Look, we'll get you out. I'll keep the comm open as long as possible.
[21:30] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Thanks.
[21:30] <13@Deathstar> 6* The pilot begins to descend the shuttle down in Megumi's backyard, uncaring for the garden
15[21:31] * 13Chad`Winters lowers his hand and glances back at his daughter. 1"Yeah, but sometimes talking is enough to keep him goign.
15[21:31] * 13@Drasek peers ahead, 1Uh. Someone better tell that bloke to avoid Revi's garden or she'll hurt him.
[21:31] <13Chad`Winters> I think she'll forgive him under these circumstances
09[21:31] <13@Sammael> "Yes, avodi the flowers or face the wrath of an angry, pregnant progenitor."
[21:32] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr steps out the back door, in her trench coat, holding up a hand to her eyes as her hair whips about from the shuttle's engines. The pilot lowers the ramp and she scurries on
[21:32] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes the shuttle landing in her back yard and moves outside, then walks up the ramp, sighing.
09[21:33] <13@Sammael> "Anyone else?"
[21:33] <13Chad`Winters> Zephyr, let Ariel know what's going on and to meet us there.
[21:33] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis steps out and moves up the ramp, scowling.
[21:33] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> I don't know where she's at, unfortunately.
15[21:34] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"We all on than?"
[21:34] <13@Drasek> Sorry Revi, I tried to tell them.
[21:34] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> I understand. 6* She takes a seat. She's in her tactical suit. "I am afraid I did not sense Darien Starr's mind when I was last at the base. It is possible he is quite deep."
[21:34] <13@Deathstar> 6* The pilot flicks some switches and begins to raise the shuttle up again
[21:35] <13Chad`Winters> I'll know for sure when we get there.
[21:35] <13@Drasek> How exactly are we going to get him, then?
15[21:35] * 13@Sammael looks between them. "...Where is Isis?"
[21:35] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> She is with Ao at this moment.
15[21:35] * 13@Sammael stares a moment, then nods slowly.
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> Well we have two progenitors and a Dragoon at our disposal.
[21:36] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> You make me sound less cool that way.
[21:36] <13Kit> <Megumi> Two progenitors?
09[21:36] <13@Sammael> "And my Hyperspace."
[21:36] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore adjusts her maid outfit as she sits there.
[21:36] <13Kit> 6Megumi peers around, then pauses on Drasek. 1Oh. Him. Right."
15[21:37] * 13Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr. 1"Sorry."
15[21:37] * 13@Drasek eyes Megumi.
[21:37] <13Kit> <Megumi> I forget he's a progenitor.
[21:37] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Perhaps you are going senile at your age.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> Someone's awfully rude at a time like this.
[21:38] <13Kit> 6Megumi goes to say something, then puffs her cheeks.
[21:38] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr begins to crack up, pointing at Megumi.
[21:38] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Hm. Was that rude? I apologize.
15[21:38] * 13@Sammael frowns and taps her head a little, she looks at Erevis a bit oddly.
[21:38] <13Chad`Winters> I was talking to Megumi, not you Erevis.
[21:38] <13Chad`Winters> It was nice to hear somebody else besides me being called old.
[21:38] <13Kit> <Megumi> I am no longer speaking to any of you." 6She crosses her arms.
[21:39] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "You will not speak to me anymore?" 6* She looks sad.
15[21:39] * 13@Drasek puts a hand to his face. 1If he's too deep Chad, we won't be able to get to him with out abilities.
[21:39] <13@Deathstar> 6* The shuttle begins to land at the destroyed site of the Janus building
15[21:39] * 13Chad`Winters looks at the pilot. 1"If you can call an emergency crew to help us dig him out, that'd be appreciated.
[21:40] <13@Deathstar> <Pilot> I'll try.
15[21:40] * 13Chad`Winters stands up, and eyes his datapad as he moves to the ramp and down it after it lowers
[21:40] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr gets up, grabbing Megumi's hand and pulling her along. Fiore and Aya rise and walk after them.
15[21:40] * 13@Drasek stands up and mvoes down after Chad and the others.
15[21:41] * 13@Sammael heads after Drasek quietly.
[21:41] <13Kit> 6Megumi blinks and sighs being dragged. Dawn rises quietly and walks after Fiore and Aya.
[21:42] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis walks along, looking sulky. The datapad indicates Darien is down at least 100 meters
15[21:42] * 13Chad`Winters grabs his datapad with his other hand slides the screen out to enlarge it. 1"He's a 100 meters down."
15[21:43] * 13@Drasek glances towards Chad. 1Well, what's the plan?
[21:44] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr peers downward, and Erevis looks at Megumi, looking all sad faced.
15[21:45] * 13Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair as he kneels down. He brings up the old building schematics and overlays Darien's position on them to get an idea how far to the ground he is
[21:45] <13Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head, then eyes Zephyr and hugs her.
[21:46] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr blinks as she's hugged. "W-What?" 6* Erevis puffs her cheeks
[21:47] <13Kit> 6Megumi closes her eyes and tries to initialize the bond.
15[21:47] * 13@Sammael scratches her head, watching Chad.
[21:47] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers around as they stand there. Darien appears to be in one of the labs where metals are made.
[21:47] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr goes to say something when there's a sudden explosion that sends her off balance.
15[21:47] * 13@Drasek kneels and puts his hand to the ground. 1 328 feet is al-6He pauses and jerks slightly, from the explosion.
15[21:47] * 13Chad`Winters jerks towars the explosion, his hand covering his face slightly. 1"Darien!?"
[21:48] <13@Deathstar> 6* Behind them, their shuttle burns.
15[21:48] * 13Chad`Winters quickly unholsters Ebony and begins shifting towards Aya.
15[21:48] * 13@Sammael slowly looks around at the shuttle, staring. "What... the..."
[21:48] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore turns around now, and Erevis grabs her emerald sphere. Darien's voice can be heard on the comm. "What?"
[21:48] <13Kit> 6Dawn turns slowly, eyeing the burning shuttle.
[21:48] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Things just got complicated.
[21:48] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya frowns. A gear begins to approach them from the other side of the smoke and flames, along with V.I. troopers.
[21:49] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> N-No way. More?
15[21:49] * 13@Sammael pulls out her gun, looking around. She stares. "Does this group ever quit...?"
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> Zephyr, Megumi form your dragoon now.
[21:49] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear lifts it's hand and fires an energy net out at Zephyr and Megumi.
[21:50] <13Kit> 6Megumi pulls Zephyr with her to move away from its target landing.
15[21:50] * 13Chad`Winters swings Ebony towards the incoming energy net and fires shots into it .
[21:50] <13Kit> 6Dawn turns again and begins to walk away from the area, making a rounded path around the gear toward the troops.
[21:50] <13@Deathstar> 6* The net hits the ground as the two dodge.
15[21:51] * 13Chad`Winters shifts Aya behind him and starts backing up towards the ruins with her
[21:51] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis moves inward now, forming her scythe.
[21:51] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya blinks as they back up.
15[21:51] * 13@Sammael moves back a bit and waits for the moment, moving with Chad.
15[21:51] * 13@Drasek moves forward too, his blades sliding out.
[21:51] <13@Deathstar> 6* Another figure steps out, holding what appears to be a flute. They bring it up to their lips, and let loose a high pitch tone that begins to make Dawn and Fiore get dizzy
[21:52] <13@Deathstar> 6* The figure's face is covered with a mask, except for his mouth
[21:52] <13Kit> 6Dawn pauses, dropping to a knee in confusion.
[21:52] <13Chad`Winters> Aya, take my other gun. 6He hooks his datapad onto his belt.
15[21:52] * 13@Sammael frowns and aims a shot at the flute player.
04[21:52] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore grabs her ears, falling over. As Sam does this, a V.I. trooper takes the hit with their arm; the Gear fires at Sammael in return
[21:52] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes Zephyr, shaking her slightly.
15[21:53] * 13@Sammael blinks and runs for cover.
[21:53] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya glances at Chad, then takes the second gun. Erevis moves in with her scythe as the troopers fire at her.
15[21:53] * 13Chad`Winters switches his comm over to an open and taps it. 1"Alexander."
[21:53] <13@Deathstar> 6* The blast hits the ground where Sam was, causing an impact that knocks her up and away. Zephyr opens her eyes.
[21:53] <13@Deathstar> 6* There's nothing but static.
15[21:53] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue in annoyance and he takes aim at the VI troopers firing at Erevis and starts shooting.
15[21:53] * 13@Sammael twists in the air and fires a blast of hyperspace at the gear, very unhappy.
15[21:53] * 13@Drasek pulls his arms back, slashing out for one of the troopers with his blade.
[21:54] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear brings up it's arm and a shield forms, taking the hit. It flies up into the sky above the ruins, then aims it's cannons at it. The flute player stops, and the pain eases on Dawn and Fiore slightly, but not clearly
[21:54] <13@Deathstar> <Man> If you continue to attack, we'll fire into the ruins and kill your friend. 6* The V.I. troopers are hit by Chad, but leap back from Drasek and Erevis
[21:55] <13@Deathstar> 6 *Zephyr gets to her feet, peering upward at the Gear.
15[21:55] * 13Chad`Winters glances up at the Gear, his eyes going wide. 1"Shit." 6He stops firing, eyeing the man, than the gear
15[21:55] * 13@Sammael moves out of the way, but stops attacking for now.
15[21:55] * 13@Drasek slides to a stop, eyeing the gear overhead, he grits his teeth. 1Bloody hell.
[21:55] <13Kit> <Megumi> We need to take care of that before the others get hurt.
[21:55] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis stops as well, holding her scythe ready
[21:55] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> If we transform, they might shoot.
[21:56] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers up at the man, holding her hand to her head that's pounding.
15[21:56] * 13@Drasek raises a hand out towards Fiore. 1You alright, luv?
15[21:56] * 13Chad`Winters taps his comm, switching it back to Darien. 1"Things just got ugly. VI's got a gear aiming a cannon down at you right now."
[21:57] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> .... 6* The man points his flute out.
[21:57] <13@Deathstar> <Man> We want the twins. Let us have them, and we'll walk away.
[21:57] <13@Deathstar> <Darien on Comm> Great... 6* He murmurs
[21:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> They came for your maids.
15[21:57] * 13@Sammael clenches a fist, frowning, looking at the others.
[21:57] <13@Deathstar> <Darien on Comm> I can always get new maids.
[21:57] <13Kit> <Megumi> If we do not, then we lose friends and perhaps Starr as well.
[21:58] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr hesitates at that, eyeing the Gear poised to attack.
[21:58] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> They won't kill them atleast.
[21:58] <13@Drasek> I won't let you take Fiore. 6He notes, eyeing the man.
[21:58] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis frowns at the men, then stands beside Drasek, apparantly backing him.
[21:58] <13@Deathstar> <Man> Is that right? 6* He taps the flute into his other hand. "They're our experiment, Progenitor. They belong to us."
[21:59] <13@Drasek> You don't own anything, mate. Sorry.
09[21:59] <13@Sammael> "People are not possessions."
[21:59] <13Chad`Winters> If only we can get that gear to aim at them instead.
[21:59] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya moves to stand near Dawn now.
[21:59] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr nods once, then takes Megumi's hands, closing her eyes to focus.
[22:00] <13Kit> <Megumi> Wait.
[22:00] <13@Deathstar> <Man> Save your speeches.
[22:00] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> Huh? Wait?
15[22:00] * 13Chad`Winters hrmms and moves after Aya, keeping his gun trained on the man now
[22:00] <13Kit> <Megumi> ... <Maybe if I overheat its weapons?>
[22:00] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> <Can you do that?>
[22:00] <13@Deathstar> <Man> You got three seconds to decide who's more important. Them, or your buried friend.
[22:00] <13Kit> <Megumi> <Molecular friction and kinetic energy is far easier than dark matter.>
[22:01] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> <If you can do it, do it.>
[22:01] <13Kit> 6Dawn narrows his eyes at the flute-user, but blinks at Aya, looking hesitant.
[22:01] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis peers toward Drasek. "I do not believe we should let him reach three."
[22:01] <13@Deathstar> <Man> 1.
[22:01] <13@Deathstar> <Man> 2.
15[22:01] * 13@Drasek pulls up his hand to fire a beam towards the man.
[22:02] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes the gear, then its guns, then closes her eyes, taking a deep breath, then overwhelms the air around them all at once. She pushes the temperature in those enclosed spaces to critical, much like she does when she creates pure oxygen explosions.
[22:02] <13@Deathstar> <Man> 3. 6* A trooper leaps in the path of the beam, it cutting into his armor and killing him. The Gear's weapon begin to glow.
15[22:02] * 13Chad`Winters fires a shot from Ebony, arcing it towars the man
15[22:02] * 13@Drasek frowns. 1Well that's bloody annoying. 6He glances up towards the gear, eyeing the shield. 1I can't breach that luv.
[22:02] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis dashes inward again, pulling back her scythe. She swings it a trooper who avoids. The man eyes the arc, then puts his flute to his mouth, playing a note. Fiore jerks, and leaps into the path of Chad's shot.
[22:03] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear fires it's beam down at the ruins. As the beam collides, hitting it and shaking the area, the gun explodes as well, causing the Gear to fall.
[22:03] <13Kit> <Megumi> Got it.
15[22:03] * 13Chad`Winters jerks the shot downwards and into the ground infront of Fiore, causing Chad to let out a pant and fall to his knee
[22:03] <13Kit> 6Megumi squeezes Zephyr's hands. 1"Let us finish it off."
[22:03] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya frowns and aims her gun, firing at the man's hand, trying to stop him.
15[22:03] * 13@Drasek hisses. 1Bloody fucking hell. It still hit the ground. 6He shifts slightly to eye the ground.
[22:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis psionically grabs a few men and knock them together.
15[22:04] * 13@Sammael moves to fire a beam to stop it but seems to find the attack too fast. "YOU WILL NOT---- Ack!" *she goes flyign a bti due to her proximity to the ruins*
[22:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr nods and begins to focus to form their Gear form.
[22:04] <13Kit> 6Dawn moves forward and runs for the flute user now.
[22:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man plays the flute notes, bringing Fiore in at Dawn, who pulls out a hidden blade.
[22:05] <13Kit> 6Dawn brings out a knife as they close distance, moving it just enough to parry, swinging his body around with steps, the old dance number.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> Shit shit shit. 6He taps his comm. 1"Darien, you still there?!"
[22:05] <13@Deathstar> 6* The comm statics.
15[22:05] * 13@Drasek pulls up a knife and throws it out for the man. 1Chad. Darien's location, give it too me.
[22:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear gets to it's feet, turning to face Zephyr now.
15[22:06] * 13Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and tosses it towards Drasek
[22:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore spins the other way, looking like his mirror opposite.
15[22:06] * 13@Sammael lifts herself up slowly, glaring at the men, she draws her gun again and starts taking shots.
[22:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis swings her scythe into one man's armor, piercing his heart. Aya moves to protect Chad for now.
15[22:07] * 13@Drasek eyes the location and then move to stand directly over that spot, going partially hyperspace, shifting his feet so he'll sink faster.
[22:07] <13Kit> 6Dawn pulls out a second knife, moving to parry what he predicts to be a second weapon as well, then shifts, continuing the dance the other direction.
15[22:07] * 13Chad`Winters groans as he pushes himself up.
[22:08] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore's second blade is parried. They slide back, facing off.
[22:08] <13@Drasek> Chad. I'll need a line, that's a long way down.
[22:08] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear fires a missile at Zephyr's gear form
[22:09] <13Kit> 6Megumi brings up her hands and rapidly taps points on the gear, joints, gaps in armor, vulnerable structures, weapons-- she targets them on the HUD and calmly mumbles. 1"Fire." 6In rapid succession, regulating weak charges.
[22:09] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes the missile incoming and taps on it, too.
15[22:09] * 13Chad`Winters grunts and slides his hand along his belt then tosses a coil of wire towards him. 1"You're going to have to becareful, the farther down you go, the more unsafe it can get. Not to mention whatever toxic gasses have built up
[22:10] <13@Deathstar> 6* The attacks are hit, then the Gear is hit by the attack
09[22:10] <13@Sammael> "Try to track yourself going down, when you get near him, avoid blasting your way through. Else you might ignite those gasses."
[22:10] <13@Drasek> I'll be fine. Better hope those gasses don't explode when in contact with Hypespace. 6He notes, grabbing the wire.
[22:10] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man in the flute frowns now. He begins to hit another note, trying to get Dawn in his control.
15[22:11] * 13@Sammael glares and moves for the man now, looking for a clean shot.
[22:11] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man looks open for a shot.
[22:11] <13Kit> <Megumi> Hm, novel-writing is useful skill." 6She continues to tap and target gaps, smiling. 1"Huh, Zephy?"
[22:11] <13@Deathstar> 6 *Erevis knocks back a few more troopers.
[22:11] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> Wait, what?
15[22:11] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his aim towards a trooper and fires on him
[22:11] <13Kit> 6Dawn pauses and strains, losing some of the grace in his movements.
[22:11] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya fires as well, going for limbs.
[22:12] <13Kit> <Megumi> Well, I figured if I could write with all ten fingers, why not target?
[22:12] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> ... I- 6* The Gear flies up above them again. As Drasek begins to go down, pieces of dirt fall on his head
15[22:12] * 13@Sammael takes shoulder and joint shots, all the while placing focus on her goal. She moves near Aya. "Can you... attempt telekenesis? Of any sort?"
[22:12] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek shakes his head. 1Ah bloody hell this isn't stable.
[22:13] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man steps to the side twice, still playing his notes.
[22:13] <13Kit> <Megumi> Oh, perfect. Up and out of the way of our friends." 6She brings her fingers together, then presses her palms toward one another right in front of her, up toward the gear, targetting it singularly.
[22:13] <13Kit> <Megumi> Go on, Zephy.
[22:13] <13@Deathstar> 6* The remaining troops begin to surround SAm, Erevis, Aya, and Chad.
[22:14] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> Um. Not really.
15[22:14] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he eyes them get surrounded.
09[22:14] <13@Sammael> "Damnit... we need to get that flute, the man is secondary."
[22:14] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr unleashes one of her famous beam attacks at the Gear, wh osimply dodges.
[22:14] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis frowns, holding her scythe ready.
[22:14] <13Kit> <Megumi> Hm. Faster than before.
[22:15] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear fires a beam attack down at the ruins again
[22:15] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis eyes the flute, then lifts her hand up, and psionically nabs it.'
[22:15] <13Kit> <Megumi> Gah." 6She lowers a hand and points between the gear and the ruins. 1"Fire! Intercept it!"
15[22:15] * 13@Sammael eyes the changing tides, she growls and fires a hyperspace blast at the Gear. "NO!"
[22:16] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr goes to fly them under the beam and fires upward into the blast with her own. The gear is hit by the hyperspace blast, a tiny human sized hand hole in it's armor.
[22:16] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis psionically yanks the flute to her hand.
15[22:16] * 13@Drasek seems to be taking what little time he can, to minimize risk of a cave-in.
[22:16] <13@Deathstar> 6* The ground around Drasek shakes from the fighting above, and his hole begins to fill in
[22:17] <13Kit> <Megumi> Enough.
[22:17] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man eyes the flute going, then touches a device on his wrist. The flute discharges into Erevis, causing her to scream and drop. The moment, though, frees the twins.
15[22:17] * 13Chad`Winters slides his right hand along his belt, as he shifts his feet
[22:17] <13Kit> 6Megumi takes advantage of Zephyr's speed, eyeing the gear above and moving them forward now manually, aiming to flat out tackle it and grab for the gear's head.
15[22:17] * 13@Drasek sighs. 1Damnit. 6He glances around quickly, trying to come up with a plan.
[22:17] <13@Deathstar> 6* The V.I. troops aim at them and open fire now.
[22:18] <13Kit> 6Dawn turns instantly and throws both energy knives for the man.
[22:18] <13@Deathstar> 6* The Gear's head is grabbed. It begins to try to zoom them in a flip toward the ground.
15[22:18] * 13Chad`Winters grabs Aya and twists, using his body to cover her as he rolls to the side with her.
15[22:18] * 13@Drasek shifts to pull up a hand, to discharge a beam upward to keep the hole from fully closing in on him.
[22:18] <13Kit> <Megumi> Let us see you dodge it now." 6She indicates Zephyr to fire.
15[22:18] * 13@Sammael dodges a shot and returns the favor with a short of her own, she keeps moving, trying to dodge all she can, crying out as she stakes a shot in the leg.
[22:18] <13@Deathstar> 6* Drasek's hyperspace flies upward from the hole and almost hits the two Gears.
[22:18] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man dodges the knives.
[22:19] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore turns to face the man again, holding her knives ready.
[22:19] <13Kit> 6Dawn follows his weapons, trying to close the distance and send a kick for the man in a rotation.
04[22:19] <13@Deathstar> 6* Sammael's shot does little to the troops.
[22:19] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man is kicked and sent stumbling. He retaliates with his own kick at Dawn in the same manner, but Fiore is already there, her knife puncturing his elg.
15[22:19] * 13Chad`Winters hits the ground and twists, hurling a small orb towards some of the troops
15[22:19] * 13@Sammael growls in anger at getting hurt and lets out a blast at several of the troops.
[22:20] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr fires her attack from her hand, blowing the Gear's head clean off.
[22:20] <13@Deathstar> 6* The troops are hit by the blasts, stunned and unable to dodge the orb.
[22:20] <13Kit> 6Megumi attempts to stabilize them while Zephyr recovers from striking.
[22:21] <13Chad`Winters> 6The orb bounces to them then ignites, exploding outwards
[22:21] <13@Deathstar> 6* The troopers go flying from the explosion
[22:21] <13Kit> 6Dawn brings himself around and sends a palm to the man's chest, expending psionic force from it.
[22:21] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr drops the Gear away from the ruins
15[22:21] * 13@Drasek peers at his distance to see if he's almost there.
[22:21] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man is hit and falls flat onto his back, holding up his hands. "I-I give up."
[22:21] <13Kit> <Megumi> I think we are finally getting the hang of it..
[22:21] <13@Deathstar> 6* Not really, no.
[22:22] <13Kit> 6Dawn moves forward to stand over the man, a calm, but irritated look on his face.
15[22:22] * 13@Drasek lets out a slight sigh, continueing at a steady pace.
[22:22] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore puts her knives up.
15[22:22] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his aim around, looking for any more troops
[22:22] <13@Deathstar> 6* As Drasek reaches the 3/4th point, his holy rune flickers and begins to run out
15[22:22] * 13@Sammael holds her gun and her hand ready, looking angry still, blood dripping down her leg.
[22:23] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya gets to her feet, glancing about
15[22:23] * 13Chad`Winters slowly rises, his back smoking from shots.
[22:23] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man keeps holding up his hands, all submissive like
[22:23] <13Kit> 6Dawn kneels, holding another knife out as he stares down the man, reaching for the mask.
15[22:23] * 13@Drasek stops and takes in a breath, hand to his chest.
15[22:24] * 13Chad`Winters taps his ear piece. 1"Darien."
[22:24] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man's mask is removed to reveal... another mask.
[22:24] <13@Deathstar> 6* Chad just gets static.
[22:24] <13Kit> 6Dawn stares, a bit unamused and more agitated.
15[22:24] * 13@Drasek clicks his comm. 1Chad can you hear me?
[22:25] <13Kit> 6Dawn goes to remove the second.
[22:25] <13@Deathstar> <Man> Look, if you let me go, I'll tell you how to remove their ability to control you both.
15[22:25] * 13Chad`Winters taps his hear piece again. 1"Yes."
[22:25] <13Kit> 6Dawn keeps at the mask, peering toward Fiore.
[22:26] <13@Drasek> <Comm> I'm almost out of energy and i've got about 82 more feet to go.
[22:26] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man holds up his hand to stop Dawn. "And leave my mask on."
[22:26] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers at Dawn
15[22:26] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Hold on."
[22:27] <13Kit> 6Dawn stares incredulously at the man demanding with a knife at him.
15[22:27] * 13@Drasek stands calmly, abeit stiffly, hoping that just standing here will help him recover a little of the enrgy he's spent.
[22:27] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man stares back
[22:27] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya checks on Erevis in the meantime, healing her.
[22:27] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr peers about for more enemies
15[22:28] * 13@Sammael moves over to Aya and Erevis, watching for now, afraid to interrupt Aya when she does this.
[22:28] <13Kit> 6Dawn frowns toward Fiore, annoyed still, looking to her for answers.
15[22:28] * 13Chad`Winters moves over to the whole Drasek made and peers down for a moment. He grabs the other end of the wire then taps his comm. 1"If you can get a small airway down to him, that could be enough to buy us some more time.
[22:28] <13@Deathstar> 6* The ground around Drasek shakes a bit, unstable.
[22:28] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> ... 6* She just shrugs at Dawn
15[22:28] * 13@Drasek pauses. 1Uh, things are getting unstable here, mate.
15[22:29] * 13Chad`Winters looks up towards Zephyr. 1"ZEPHYR COME HERE!"
[22:29] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr shifts and lands near Chad with a thud
15[22:29] * 13Chad`Winters shifts slightly from the landing and then holds out the wire towards her. 1"Pull Drasek out, he's quitting already."
[22:29] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr grabs the wire, then flies up into the sky rapidly - probably bouncing Drasek around in his hole
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Dawn squints, having always been a curious one.
[22:30] <13@Drasek> <Comm> What the blo-6He is yanked, probably cursing Chad each and everytime he's bounced.
[22:30] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr flies high enough that Drasek emerges from the hole, then lets him go and lands again with a thud
15[22:31] * 13Chad`Winters rubs his face as he peers down the hole
[22:31] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man begins to get to his feet.
15[22:31] * 13@Drasek lands and stands up, dusting himself up. 1What bloody hell did you do that for!? 84 more feet, mate! He's not going to make it for sure now.
[22:31] <13@Deathstar> <Man> We have a deal?
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> You're the one who sounded like he was afraid to be buried.
15[22:32] * 13@Drasek grits his teeth. 1I was informing you of the situation you bloody ponce.
[22:32] <13Chad`Winters> I can toss you back down then. 6He moves to grab Drasek
[22:32] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya finishes, tired more, and sits back.
15[22:32] * 13@Drasek narrows his eyes. 1I will kill you Chad, right here, in front of everyone.
[22:32] <13Kit> 6Dawn looks even more annoyed, but nods.
[22:33] <13@Deathstar> 6* The man nods, then reaches into his suit, pulling out a drive that goes into a datapad. He flicks it at Dawn, then turns and runs
09[22:33] <13@Sammael> "As a flaw to that... if he tosses you down you will be unable to do that..."
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> Make up your mind than.
[22:33] <13@Drasek> You being a bitch is helping Darien.
[22:33] <13@Drasek> 6* To Chad.
[22:33] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis sits up after a bit, her hair all static charged and all about. She blinks, trying to get hair from her face.
[22:33] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> Is now the time to be fighting?
[22:34] <13@Drasek> NRP: isn't*
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> So do you want her to lower you back down than?
[22:34] <13@Deathstar> 6* The comm cracks to life. "Hello...?"
15[22:34] * 13Chad`Winters moves his hand to his ear. 1"Yeah, we're still here."
[22:34] <13@Drasek> I can't make it the full amount of feet.
[22:35] <13@Deathstar> <Darien on Comm> We got ~~~blems.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Define problems
15[22:35] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks over at Chad now.
[22:35] <13@Deathstar> <Darien on Comm> I've been hearing muffled noises. I think pockets of the base are blowing up down here. Who knows what they were building that's still dangerous
15[22:36] * 13Chad`Winters rubs his face more. 1"Probably caused by that gear hitting the base the first time.
[22:37] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> Now what?
[22:37] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis sits up and her and Aya move over
[22:38] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers at the man running, then the drive Dawn has. She takes her knife and slings it out for the back of his knee, aiming to mobilize him - apparantly not keeping Dawn's word.
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> We need to move faster. 6He, taps his left foot impatiently. 1"Have Megumi try and get a hold of Alex and see if he can send us some aid.
15[22:38] * 13@Sammael toys with some rubble nervously. "HOw much more is there to burn through?"
[22:38] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> Uh, you want us to fly to him?
15[22:38] * 13@Drasek rubs his face slightly, letting out a breath. 184 feet. Give or take.
15[22:38] * 13@Drasek rubs his face slightly, letting out a breath. 1 84 feet. Give or take.
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> How fast can you make it in?
[22:38] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> Uh, fast I guess.
[22:39] <13Chad`Winters> Do it than. Anything will help us at this point.
09[22:39] <13@Sammael> "Send me down there."
[22:39] <13@Drasek> The place caves in, you're screwed Sam.
09[22:40] <13@Sammael> "Darien doesn't have time."
[22:40] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr rises and flies off.
[22:40] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> It's more likely to cave in the further down you go
[22:40] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> Or explode.
[22:40] <13Chad`Winters> It is. And that'll only force us to start over again.
[22:40] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis peers down into the hole.
15[22:41] * 13@Sammael rubs the back of her head. "So you're saying it's not worth the risk?"
[22:41] <13@Drasek> I might be able to make it half that distance, but I wouldn't be of much worth after that.
[22:41] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore moves over to the crippled man, moving to tie him up and knock him out
09[22:41] <13@Sammael> "I can make that much distance."
[22:41] <13Chad`Winters> With our main tow rope gone, if it caved in, you'd be buried alive before we could pull you out.
[22:42] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> If Drasek is buried, he will be fine - he does not require air.
[22:42] <13@Drasek> I could try digging through the remaining distance, Revi's right, i'll survive either way.
[22:42] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis peers at them, a serious expression to go with her wild hair
09[22:42] <13@Sammael> "...Alright..." *she frowns, looking at the hole, she seems to still want to do it anyway*
[22:43] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> However, if Drasek is buried, then reaching Darien Starr would kill him.
[22:43] <13Chad`Winters> Fine than. 6He grabs the other end of the wire and hooks it onto his waist.
09[22:43] <13@Sammael> "...What are you doing?"
[22:44] <13@Drasek> I think he's making himself an anchor, luv.
[22:44] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya worriedly studies Chad
[22:44] <13Chad`Winters> Unless you think Drasek can float down.
[22:44] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> No - he would fall.
[22:44] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> While some have said he full of hot air, I have not found that to be the case.
[22:45] <13@Drasek> I could always jump, mate. Turn my bottom into hyperspace when I get close enough to dirt, try to melt through as much as possible. Though if I overshoot it, I would kill Darien.
09[22:45] <13@Sammael> "Mmm..."
15[22:45] * 13@Drasek pauses and eyes Erevis. 1Who says i'm full of Hot Air?
15[22:45] * 13Chad`Winters forces a smile, he's sweating from overworking his body already
[22:45] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Darien Starr has said it once
[22:45] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya touches Chad, trying to help him
15[22:46] * 13@Drasek snorts, crossing his arms, like he's not going to do anything now.
15[22:46] * 13Chad`Winters flinches for a second then looks at Aya, relaxing. 1"Just don't overwork yourself.
[22:46] <13Kit> 6Dawn stares at Fiore, gesturing questioningly.
[22:47] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> I did not agree to his deal.
15[22:47] * 13@Drasek clears his throat. 1Right. Well let's get this over with.
[22:47] <13Kit> 6Dawn facepalms, looking to the man.
[22:47] <13Chad`Winters> Hold on. 6He taps his ear. 1"Darien."
[22:47] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Good luck. If you do not make it, I will have Megumi Zhenmei write a book about you
[22:47] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien's voice is faint, static more constant now. "~~ah?"
[22:48] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers toward the others now
09[22:48] <13@Sammael> "Drasek, it's four feet, if your hyperspace is exhausted, attempt manual digging."
15[22:48] * 13@Drasek snorts. 1She'd not tell about how brilliant I am.
[22:48] <13@Drasek> 84.
[22:48] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> Draseks going to drop down at full speed and see if he can't punch through the remaining 84 feet with hypersace.
[22:48] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> ... ... ~~~~~ ~~~~~.
09[22:48] <13@Sammael> "Oh, well then, good luck."
[22:49] <13@Drasek> Wait. We're going with that plan? Oh bloody hell this is going to end bad.
[22:49] <13Chad`Winters> <Comm> It's that or we wait to see if Alexander has any fast ways to get you out of there.
[22:49] <13@Deathstar> 6* The comm is static filled again
15[22:50] * 13Chad`Winters frowns as he looks at Drasek. 1"Than we lower you, doesn't matter."
[22:50] <13@Drasek> Depends on how much time the git has, really.
15[22:51] * 13@Drasek gets ready to jump or drop either way.
[22:51] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore pulls off the man's mask so Dawn can take a look, since he's naturally curious
[22:51] <13Chad`Winters> I'll lower you down.
[22:52] <13@Drasek> Right. 6He takes the wire end and wraps it around himself. 1Better get pretty far back, mate.
15[22:52] * 13Chad`Winters grunts and starts backpeddling till it's taught
[22:52] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Becareful.
[22:53] <13@Drasek> No promises, luv. 6He shifts to hand over the edge now, motioning for Chad to lower him.
15[22:53] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his weight back and starts moving towards Drasek to lower him down
[22:54] <13@Deathstar> 6* The rope suddenly snaps as a beam comes by them all. A lone V.I. trooper, who survived the orb, aims his gun.
15[22:54] * 13@Drasek lets out a groan as he begins to fall.
15[22:54] * 13Chad`Winters snaps backwards, landing on his back.
[22:54] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis whips around as the trooper aims and fires at her. She holds up her scythe to take the hit
15[22:54] * 13@Sammael roars and draws her gun, shoot at the trooper.
15[22:55] * 13Chad`Winters quickly gets up and kicks off, dashing for the rope
[22:55] <13@Deathstar> 6* The shot hits the trooper, but he seems unphased.
15[22:56] * 13@Drasek peers down to see how long it'll be before he reaches ground.
[22:56] <13@Deathstar> 6* Drasek is about to hit in just a few more seconds. His rope already in the hole with him
15[22:56] * 13@Sammael shoots the damn trooper again.
[22:56] <13@Deathstar> 6* The trooper dodges and fires at Sam
15[22:56] * 13@Drasek grits his teeth and straitens up, turning his lower body into hyperspace, closing his eyes.
15[22:56] * 13Chad`Winters slides to a stop, eyeing the hole.
15[22:57] * 13@Sammael drops down to dodge and fires at the man's legs.
[22:57] <13@Deathstar> 6* Drasek begins to burrow through the ground like a speeding rocket, his face hitting rock that isn't destroyed as he goes down. A lead pipe even clips him once.
[22:57] <13@Deathstar> 6* The trooper rolls to the side. Erevis peers over, trying to psionically find the rope.
15[22:58] * 13@Drasek grunts, cut up from the debris, he seems to be trying to count the number of feet based on his speed, though his math isn't excellent or anything.
15[22:58] * 13@Sammael keeps firing, attempting to keep the soldier on the move.
[22:58] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis psionically snags the rope at the last moment and jerks him to a stop. He's gone down about 50 feet.
[22:58] <13@Deathstar> 6* The soldier keeps moving, circling around casually so Sam would fire at her own teammates to get at him
15[22:59] * 13@Sammael cuts her fire when they get in the way.
15[22:59] * 13@Drasek shifts himself enough so that he can go solid again, his body would be pretty cramped and he tries to shift up and put a hand to his forehead.
[22:59] <13@Deathstar> 6* The trooper opens fire.
15[22:59] * 13Chad`Winters spins around and fires three shots for the trooper.
[22:59] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> I am unable to maintain my grip on him at this distance. 6* She says in labored breathing
15[22:59] * 13@Sammael moves to avoid, not having to do much now that she has a healthy army of human shields in her way.
[23:00] <13@Deathstar> 6* The trooper dodges the first two, then is hit. He stumbles.
[23:00] <13Chad`Winters> Let him keep going. I'll send another rope down after we take care of this guy.
[23:00] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis nods and lets go.
[23:01] <13@Deathstar> 6* The rope would land on Drasek's head
15[23:01] * 13@Drasek shifts slightly, glancing around, then eyes the rope, he sighs slightly and tries to start digging, albeit carefully.
[23:02] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis turns to face the trooper now, narrowing her eyes. Aya stands guard for Chad, ready for any shots that come their way. The trooper, however, grabs a grenade.
15[23:02] * 13Chad`Winters grabs Ebony with his other hand and aims, firing a shot for the grenade
15[23:02] * 13@Sammael fires a shot at the man's head.
[23:02] <13@Deathstar> 6* The trooper's grendae is hit and he explodes.
[23:03] <13@Deathstar> 6* A shadow appears in the sky and Zephyr lands near the team.
15[23:03] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr. 1"What did you get?"
[23:04] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> It'll take time to get people here to help.
15[23:04] * 13Chad`Winters holsters Ebony and rubs his face again.
[23:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore leans down to peer into the hole
15[23:05] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his hand along his belt, pulling out another spool of cable
[23:05] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> What do we do now?
[23:06] <13Chad`Winters> Other than hoping Drasek can make it, I honestly don't konw.
09[23:06] <13@Sammael> "Prayer..." *she looks down at the hole*
[23:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr peers down the hole. "I could fire down into the hole."
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> You'd hit Drasek.
[23:07] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> After you got him out
[23:07] <13@Deathstar> 6* Drasek would find a dilema as he tries digging - he can't displace the dirt.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> Worth a shot. 6He drops the one end of the spool down the hole.
15[23:08] * 13@Drasek sighs and hits his comm. 1We've got about...34 or so feet, and I can't really displace this dirt, don't have a bucket do you mate?
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> But it'll have to be precise and very controlled.
[23:09] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr's big gear head nods
15[23:09] * 13Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"We're pulling you out. Grab the wire and hold on.
15[23:09] * 13@Drasek sighs and does so, shaking his head.
15[23:10] * 13Chad`Winters tosses the other end over to Zephyr
[23:10] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr takes it, and zooms upward, bouncing Drasek into the walls again
15[23:10] * 13@Drasek doesn't even say anything this time, just sililently grunts when he bounces.
[23:11] <13@Deathstar> 6 *Zephyr pulls him out and drops him, then turns back to her normal form
15[23:11] * 13@Drasek lands there and falls onto his ass, blood covering most of his face, he has an annoyed look.
[23:12] <13Chad`Winters> You ready Zephyr?
[23:12] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore moves to treat him
15[23:12] * 13@Drasek lets out a sigh, 1Thanks, luv.
[23:12] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr nods and forms her dragoon bustah, stepping up the edge. Erevis steps back.
15[23:12] * 13@Sammael sighs and moves over to Drasek, taking out a first aid kit.
15[23:12] * 13@Sammael stops when she sees Fiore and moves away.
[23:12] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore gives Sam "the look".
15[23:12] * 13@Sammael is already moving away!
[23:13] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr sticks her gun into the hole, trying to angle it. She begins to get top heavy and fall in
15[23:13] * 13Chad`Winters grabs Zephyr as she starts to fall
[23:13] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr winces as she's grabbed, then takes aim. "Thanks."
15[23:13] * 13Chad`Winters grunts as he shifts his feet around her to keep himself from going in
[23:14] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr lets loose a dragoon bustah of smaller porportions. Erevis anchors them both. The blast flies down, and a moment later there's a massive explosion, a fireball rising up at Zephyr's head
15[23:14] * 13@Drasek eyes the dirt on himself and sighs. 1This outfits' a bit useless now, aint it luv?
15[23:14] * 13Chad`Winters growls and pulls back as hard as he can, even if it means tumbling back
15[23:14] * 13@Sammael looks up to stare in horror.
[23:14] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> ... 6* She goes to respond when she feels the ground shaking. Zephyr is yanked back as the fireball shoots up into the sky.
[23:15] <13@Deathstar> 6 *Erevis winces.
15[23:15] * 13@Drasek frowns. 1Bloody hell.
[23:15] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> I-I barely used any fire power!
09[23:15] <13@Sammael> "T-Tell me he's alright!?"
[23:15] <13Chad`Winters> Fuck. That's what I was worried about.
[23:15] <13@Deathstar> 6* Shuttles can be seen flying in and landing nearby
[23:16] <13Kit> <Megumi> Perhaps I should have tried dark matter instead?
09[23:16] <13@Sammael> "Get him out of there... please..."
[23:16] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr peers down into the hole again. A light can be seen far, far down - probably fire
[23:16] <13Kit> 6Dawn stares at the man Fiore's unveiled, still wondering what the hell to do about him.
15[23:16] * 13@Sammael shakes looking ready to leap into the hole herself.
[23:16] <13Chad`Winters> I'm going down. 6He shifts towards the hole.
[23:16] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers at Sam, then motions for her to jump for it
[23:16] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> Wait, you? D-Dad.
[23:17] <13@Drasek> Don't be a moron, Chad. You won't be able to do anything I couldn't do.
[23:17] <13Chad`Winters> Than go. 6He moves over grabbing the other end of the wire.
[23:18] <13@Deathstar> 6* The ground shakes again from another smaller, minor explosion
[23:18] <13Chad`Winters> NOW.
15[23:18] * 13@Sammael stumbles a little, she pushes somethign into Drasek's hand. "Just push it to his skin." *It's a medical injector*
[23:18] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore eyes Drasek, then the hole. Seh looks like she doesn't approve.
[23:18] <13@Drasek> ...
15[23:19] * 13@Drasek makes a face. 1...you lot are sad. 6He stands up weakly, moving towards the hole.
09[23:19] <13@Sammael> "I'll go if you don't."
[23:20] <13@Drasek> Have at it. 6He motions, since he's went twice already.
[23:20] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> .... 6* She sighs, eyeing the hole. "I'll do it."
15[23:20] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Drasek then moves to the hole, already tied up. 1"Hold on tight than."
[23:20] <13Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head and moves over, kneeling. She puts her hands at the edge and then begins to solidify the edge of the opening, rearranging the structure to crystallize and support itself.
15[23:20] * 13@Sammael frowns, looking between the three.
[23:20] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> D-Dad... 6* She sounds positively panicked at the idea.
[23:21] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms, not volunteering.
15[23:21] * 13@Drasek sits down again, back by Fiore, it's not a matter of him wanting to go anymore, he doesn't have energy.
15[23:21] * 13Chad`Winters pulls out a small oxygen tube and bites on it then reaches out and wraps the wire around Drasek's hand and hops into the tuunnel and starts sliding down
15[23:22] * 13@Drasek pauses and tenses to hold Chad up.
[23:22] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She kneels, looking worried. Aya closes her eyes.
[23:22] <13Kit> 6Megumi stares and forms a crystal spire in her hand and stabs it into the ground, yanking the wire from Drasek and looping it around the spire to give leverage.
15[23:22] * 13@Drasek gives Megumi a thumbs up.
15[23:22] * 13Chad`Winters drops down as fast as he can.
[23:24] <13@Deathstar> 6* Chad whizzes down and down and down and down, the heat of the flames below getting hotter as he goes further down
15[23:25] * 13Chad`Winters slides his right hand along his belt and puts two gloves on and then grabs his face mask and slides it over his head, using that to keep him from getting 3rd degree burns
[23:25] <13@Deathstar> 6* People get out of the shuttle with equipment, setting things up
[23:26] <13@Deathstar> 6* Beneath the flames a metal sheet can be seen, dented inward.
[23:27] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis peers up at the people getting their devices ready. Cranes. Leeveys. Devices that does who knows what.
15[23:27] * 13@Drasek watches them curiously.
[23:27] <13Kit> 6Dawn stares at the man, shrugging. 1"Oneesama finds loopholes."
15[23:27] * 13Chad`Winters pulls something from his belt and shakes a small sprayer and reaches down for the metal sheet, spraying a liquid on it.
15[23:27] * 13@Sammael just keeps watching, her attention rapt on Chad's efforts.
[23:27] <13@Deathstar> 6* Sam can't see, sadly. Dark hole and all
15[23:28] * 13@Sammael is gazing into the dark anyways.
[23:28] <13@Deathstar> 6* The metal begins to melt.
15[23:29] * 13Chad`Winters bites down on the oxygen tank, taking a deep breath from it and waits for the metal to open up enough he can drop in
[23:30] <13@Deathstar> 6* Chad drops in about 2 feet. It seems there's another metal layer there. To the side, in the cramped box, is Darien Starr, unconscious and looking all cramped
15[23:31] * 13Chad`Winters shifts over to grab Darien and pull him out.
[23:31] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien's pulled out. Sadly, the air still seems quite flameable from the toxic burning
15[23:32] * 13Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"I got him but I need to get pulled out fast."
15[23:32] * 13Chad`Winters shifts the tank over to Darien's mouth so he can breath fresh air
[23:32] <13@Deathstar> 6* Another minor explosion goes off above them and dirt begins to fall toward the two.
15[23:33] * 13@Drasek widens his eyes and stands up, beginning to pull on the wire.
[23:33] <13@Drasek> Could use some help here.
[23:33] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr eyes the rope now, and panickedly grabs it, trying to pull it
15[23:33] * 13Chad`Winters shifts over Darien to avoid the incoming dirt.
[23:33] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis nods once, psionically trying to yank the rope upward with them
[23:33] <13@Deathstar> 6* The dirt begins to fill in the hole around them
15[23:34] * 13@Drasek shifts and pulls as hard as he can. 1Please help, luv. 6He says to Fiore.
[23:34] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore pauses, then telekentically begins to aid the endeavor. Chad and DArien are pulled up from the dirt roughly, though more is still falling on them as they are lifted.
15[23:35] * 13Chad`Winters holds onto Darien tightly, letting the dirt slam into him
[23:35] <13Kit> 6Megumi sighs. 1"Does not seem like my crystallization helped at all."
[23:36] <13@Deathstar> 6* After a bit, they are lifted above the area that's spilling dirt, and the rest of the journey up is uneventful. Until, a sudden explosion below sends a fireball up the hole
[23:36] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> Oh God. Dad.
15[23:36] * 13@Sammael hops back, gasping.
[23:36] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya begins to count numbers, closing her eyes.
[23:36] <13Kit> 6Megumi buts her hand back down and closes the crystal at the bottom of its reach.
15[23:37] * 13@Drasek grits his teeth, pulling. 1How abotu instead of gasping you HELP.
15[23:37] * 13Chad`Winters takes a deep breath as he pulls Darien above him since he's not wearing a tact suit.
[23:37] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya tries to help tug, but it's clear she's exhausted.
15[23:37] * 13@Sammael rushes forward, startignt o help tug now, putting her back into it.
[23:38] <13@Deathstar> 6* The fireball seems to stop, and moments later the team gets the two up, seconds before Sam grasps the rope
15[23:38] * 13@Sammael rushes forward then and helps drag them both away from the hole.
[23:38] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr flops onto her butt, panting, and Erevis sits back, tired.
15[23:38] * 13@Drasek falls onto his back, spread out, breathing heavy.
15[23:38] * 13Chad`Winters lays on his back, breathing heavily, his hand grabbing at his mask and slowly pulling it off.
[23:38] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore psionically trips Sam and moves over to help the two
[23:39] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya moves over and checks Chad over for damage.
15[23:39] * 13@Sammael falsl forward, but drags herself up and helps anyways.
15[23:39] * 13@Sammael gets out her medical supplies and gets to work on Darien. Waving help over.
[23:39] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien begins to cough and opens his eyes. People move over to check on the two, handing Darien oxygen
15[23:40] * 13Chad`Winters coughs now as he looks at his daughter. 1"Sorry for worrying you."
[23:40] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya sighs in relief.
[23:40] <13@Deathstar> 6* Zephyr eyes her hands now, then slides them into her coat sleeves
09[23:40] <13@Sammael> "Darien..." *she smiles and checks over his injuries*
[23:40] <13Kit> 6Dawn waves over a group of Alexander's people to detain the soldier and gets up to go to the group.
[23:40] <13@Deathstar> <Zephyr> I'm just glad you're both okay.
[23:40] <13@Deathstar> 6* The people stare at each other, then moves to get the soldier.
[23:41] <13@Deathstar> 6* They move him to their medical supplies to treat him, figuring that's what he wanted
[23:41] <13Chad`Winters> So am I. 6He winces as he tries to sit up.
[23:41] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien breathes in the oxygen, peering at Chad and Drasek. He gives them a thumbs up
15[23:41] * 13@Drasek holds a thumbs up from his spot on the ground.
[23:42] <13@Drasek> I'd better be back on that bloody will, or i'll be pissed off, mate.
15[23:42] * 13@Sammael smiles gratefully at them, fussing over Darien.
15[23:42] * 13Chad`Winters shifts an arm around his daughter, pulling her in for a hug.
[23:42] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya blinks as she's pulled into him, eyeing the dirt on him with a face.
09[23:43] <13@Sammael> "Thank heavens you're alright..."
15[23:43] * 13Chad`Winters let's go. 1"Dirt...Sorry."
[23:44] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien finally glances at Sam, not saying anything, holding the mask to his face.
[23:44] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> I-It's okay.
[23:44] <13Kit> 6Dawn shrugs. Healing the soldier seems find since his sister did stab the guy in the leg.
15[23:45] * 13@Sammael looks at him, she wasn't expecting anythig, she just seems happy he's okay.
[23:45] <13@Deathstar> -TIME JUMP-
[23:45] <13@Deathstar> Location: House of D
[23:45] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien sits in a chair in the living area, in new clothing, looking tired. "Sounds like I missed the fun."
15[23:46] * 13@Sammael sits on the couch, looking cheery.
[23:46] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya is in new clothing, having taken a bath.
15[23:46] * 13Chad`Winters sits in the couch, his hair wet and in sweat pants and a shirt. 1"You could say that.
[23:46] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore eats the cold breakfast, refusing to let it go to waste.
[23:46] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Well. I hope you and Drasek a lot. Thanks.
15[23:47] * 13@Drasek has his head on the table, probably sleeping, though he did at least shower.
09[23:47] <13@Sammael> "They were very brave."
15[23:47] * 13Chad`Winters grunts, looking exhausted.
[23:48] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Well. I guess now that V.I. is beaten, we can all go back to our normal lives.
[23:48] <13Chad`Winters> Something tells me there's still one cell left.
[23:48] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> The people who showed up today.
15[23:48] * 13Chad`Winters nods.
09[23:48] <13@Sammael> "Yes."
[23:49] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> They'd have sent more, I think, if they could.
[23:49] <13Chad`Winters> Not if you wanted to last longer.
09[23:50] <13@Sammael> "Quite possibly... do you think the man who had the flute was their leader?"
[23:50] <13Kit> <Dawn> No.
15[23:50] * 13@Sammael looks over at Dawn.
[23:50] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> Got data. Could go to location. See for ourselves.
09[23:50] <13@Sammael> "Should we not go as a force?"
[23:50] <13Kit> 6Dawn glances over the datapad drive he retrieved, idly, after answering.
[23:51] <13@Deathstar> 6* True to his word, there's a location - their old hometown that was ravished.
[23:51] <13Kit> <Dawn> Roma.
[23:51] <13Chad`Winters> Could be a trap.
[23:51] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Maybe.
09[23:52] <13@Sammael> "It seems odd they would give you any credible information."
[23:52] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya frowns, worriedly. "Maybe we should ignore it."
[23:52] <13Chad`Winters> Fact is, they've showed the ability to control you two.
[23:53] <13@Drasek> Should probably make sure they can't do that anymore. 6He mumbles into his arm.
15[23:53] * 13@Sammael nods quietly and looks at the floor, rubbing her head a bit.
[23:54] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Should we go, then?
09[23:54] <13@Sammael> "Go expecting it's a trap, or wait for them to attack us again."
[23:54] <13@Drasek> Soon as I can, I'll go. I don't want anyone controlling Fiore.
[23:54] <13Chad`Winters> It's the twin's decision.
[23:55] <13Kit> <Dawn> Been there. Before. Twice..
[23:55] <13Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head and sighs.
[23:55] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Yeah. Lets go take a look, then.
[23:55] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien hops up, spry for a man almost dead a few hours ago
09[23:56] <13@Sammael> "Agreed."
15[23:56] * 13@Sammael stands up.
15[23:56] * 13@Drasek slowly looks up and eyes them. 1Yeah let's go, after I get some sleep, you gits.
[23:56] <13Kit> 6Dawn stares. 1"Now?"
[23:56] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Better now than later.
[23:57] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien moves out to get a shuttle.
15[23:57] * 13@Sammael crosses her arms, waiting.
15[23:57] * 13@Drasek slowly looks to Fiore now.
[23:57] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore peers at Drasek, then the others. Aya shake sher head.
15[23:57] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue.
[23:57] <13@Drasek> You want to go, luv?
[23:58] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> Maybe he's upset he missed the waR?
[23:58] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore shrugs. Clearly she's neutral.
[23:58] <13@Drasek> If you go, i'll go. 6He notes, then lays his head back down.
[23:58] <13Chad`Winters> Maybe. But none of us are in the shape to do anything this minute.
[23:59] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore glances at Dawn now.
09[23:59] <13@Sammael> "If you believe you should wait, tell him, otherwise come along."
[23:59] <13Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He sighs and rises, moving to their room.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Tuesday, November 25th 2008.
Session Time: Tue Nov 25 00:00:01 2008
[00:00] <13@Deathstar> <Fiore> Going. 6* She rises now.
15[00:00] * 13Chad`Winters sighs, rubbing his face
15[00:01] * 13@Drasek perks his head up slightly and then pushes himself to his feet.
[00:01] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya sighs herself
[00:01] <13@Deathstar> -TIME JUMP-
[00:01] <13@Deathstar> Location: Roma
[00:01] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien steps off the shuttle; the town looks much like it did last time they were there. Nothingness.
15[00:01] * 13@Sammael steps off after him, looking around.
15[00:02] * 13@Drasek steps down the ramp slowly, peering around, wearing a suit now that his other outfit was ruined.
[00:02] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien walks along, the wind blowing about. He peers about with an keen eye; Fiore walks down afterwards, wearing her maid outfit still. In the distance, a single figure can be seen, appearing to be sitting there, their back to the team
[00:02] <13Kit> 6Dawn walks down, a newly-designed rifle slung over a shoulder, putting his datapads away as one of the repaired assault craft lands beside their shuttle.
15[00:03] * 13@Sammael frowns and walks along near Darien, not quite at his side.
15[00:03] * 13@Drasek eyes the figure and puts his hand into his coat, pulling out a pistol as he moves forward.
[00:03] <13Kit> 6Dawn peers at Drasek, then reaches back, unclipping the scope on his gun and pulling it up to eye the figure through it.
[00:03] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien walks along after Drasek. "Not what I was expecting for a final battle with V.I."
15[00:04] * 13Chad`Winters steps off the shuttle with Aya, Ebony in his left hand.
[00:04] <13@Drasek> I just want to end this, mate.
[00:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Through the scope, Dawn would see the figure is hunched forward in a sitting position, a container next to him.
[00:04] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya glances around; the wind kicks up dust, blowing it along.
[00:04] <13Kit> 6Dawn focuses on the container, hitting a button on the side of the scope to switch between infrareds
09[00:04] <13@Sammael> "It seems rather anticlimactic."
[00:05] <13@Deathstar> 6* The cantainer appears to be ice cold inside
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> Sense anyone besides that guy?
[00:05] <13@Deathstar> <Aya> I don't sense him.
[00:05] <13Kit> <Dawn> Cryo.
09[00:05] <13@Sammael> "...Is he dead...?"
[00:05] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien moves along, stopping now and again to take a few breaths, then moves forward again
[00:05] <13Kit> 6Dawn shifts back to the person.
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> Hmmm...
[00:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore walks along after the others, her head facnig the figure.
[00:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien reaches the figure, who doesn't move or acknowledge them. Stopping behind him, Darien eyes him
15[00:06] * 13@Drasek shifts to bring the pistol up, moving around to to face the figure.
[00:06] <13Kit> 6Dawn clips the scope back to the gun and moves forward to the others.
[00:06] <13@Deathstar> 6* Drasek would see a man that looks like the guy claiming to be Dawn's father, only black veins are all over his face, and dried blood on his face.
15[00:06] * 13Chad`Winters stays back, not dome enough to come upto the guy
[00:07] <13@Drasek> Looks like Dawn and Fiore's father. I think there's dark energy in his veins. 6He squints when he says that, trying to verify.
15[00:07] * 13@Sammael moves a little closer to get a look at the man. "This is... what the clones looked like when they were dying."
[00:07] <13@Deathstar> 6* There's no dark energy in the man, no.
[00:07] <13@Drasek> Was it?
[00:08] <13@Drasek> Then this git wasn't there father all along? Just a clone?
[00:08] <13@Drasek> NRP: their*
09[00:08] <13@Sammael> "The clone of Darien on Ragnarok looked like that."
[00:08] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien walks around to face the man, shaking his head. "A dead clone? That's it? That's all that's left?"
15[00:08] * 13@Drasek motions to the container.
[00:09] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore moves around to look at the man, silent.
[00:09] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya hangs back, not really wanting to get close. Darien eyes the container, kneeling to peer it over for traps, then reaches out to take it. There's a note on the side
[00:10] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien snags the note, eyeing it. All that is written on it is "The future".
[00:11] <13Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He eyes Darien and the clone. 1"...Decay."
15[00:11] * 13@Drasek reaches out to put his hand on Fiore's shoulder.
15[00:11] * 13@Sammael frowns and looks at the container slowly. "What's inside...?"
[00:11] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien grabs the container and stands up, letting the note go into the wind. He flicks the opening switch and looks inside. "Two vials of something."
[00:11] <13@Deathstar> 6* Fiore glances back at Drasek
15[00:12] * 13@Drasek seems to be comforting her, despite not knowing the extent of her relationship with the man. He masks that by leaning on her slightly, using her for support.
[00:12] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien closes the container, then tosses it up and toward Dawn. "Guess this is yours."
[00:12] <13Kit> 6Dawn frowns, catching it. 1"...Finished."
[00:13] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Yeah. I think it really is.
15[00:13] * 13@Sammael scratches her head a little. "Peace and quiet...?"
[00:13] <13@Deathstar> 6* Aya gives Dawn a sympathetic smile, patting his arm
[00:13] <13@Deathstar> <Darien> Maybe.
15[00:14] * 13Chad`Winters holsters Ebony now and crosses his arm
[00:14] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: arms
15[00:14] * 13@Sammael looks down, the same expression as from before the Legion incident. "Always maybe..."
[00:14] <13@Drasek> I'm ready for to sleep, myself.
[00:14] <13@Drasek> NRP: -for
[00:14] <13@Deathstar> 6* Darien peers up at the sky. "Yeah, always maybe."
[00:14] <13@Deathstar> -END-
03[00:15] * Deathstar changes topic to 'Erevis the Progenitor | Season 5 (Personas): 15 of 20 complete | Session #96 | Episode Sixteen: Prelude to Disaster | 1 of 1 | Sessions will be RPed on M/W at 9 EST | Please visit our brother RPG at #taw'

[18:06] <13@Deathstar> 3
[18:06] <13@Deathstar> 1
03[18:06] * Jennifer is now known as Sammael
[18:06] <13@Deathstar> -0-
[18:07] <13@Deathstar> Stardate: 10-590.4.27 - 3 days after last ep -
[18:07] <13@Deathstar> Location: House of M
04[18:07] <13@Deathstar> 6* It's a semi-lovely day as Sammael arrives outside the house.
15[18:08] * 13@Sammael steps up to the door, knocking as she looks around, enjoying the weather, today dressed in a casual dress and a light jacket to keep out the chill a bit.
04[18:09] <13@Deathstar> 6* The door creaks open and Ao stares at Sammael, wearing what appears to be some of Zephyr's clothing.
15[18:09] * 13@Sammael smiles to her cheerfully. "Good Morning Ao."
[18:09] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> What do you want?
09[18:10] <13@Sammael> "I came to visit."
[18:10] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> Why?
09[18:10] <13@Sammael> "Because I consider all in this house my friends and I enjoy spending time with you all."
04[18:11] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> ... *she makes a deadpanned face, then begins to go to make Sam desire to leave when Erevis steps up, wearing only a shirt, tilting her head as she brings her hand down on top of Ao's head. "Hello, Sammael Hendricks."
15[18:12] * 13@Sammael blinks a bit, looking disoriented for a moment before shaking her head. "Hello Erevis, how are you today?"
[18:15] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> I am well. And you?
09[18:16] <13@Sammael> "I am well today. I came to spend time with you all, am I intruding?" *she bows her head a little*
04[18:18] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> No. Please enter. 6* She moves inside, and Ao scowls at Sammael now
15[18:18] * 13@Sammael blinks a little at Ao, slightly confused still, but she steps inside quietly while toying a bit with her jacket.
03[18:20] * Dias-HardlyWorking is now known as SPoC
[18:20] <13@Deathstar> 6* Ao closes the door, narrowing her eyes more. Erevis moves to the kitchen, having been working on some soup for lunch
15[18:21] * 13@Sammael sniffs gently and smiles. "That smells good." *She smiles and moves to take a seat in the living room.*
14[18:21] * SPoC (chesterbot@c-76-17-183-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited)
[18:22] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Thank you. 6* Ao sits near Erevis, arms crossed, looking poutful. "How are things at Darien Starr's?"
09[18:23] <13@Sammael> "They are... quiet." *she frowns a little* "I do not speak with the others there that much."
[18:24] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> That is unfortunate. Perhaps you should do the speaking, and the others might join you
03[18:25] * SPoC (chesterbot@c-76-17-183-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #erevis
15[18:26] * 13@Sammael looks down a bit. "Perhaps. Darien doesn't have much interest in speaking to me these days, Dawn and Fiore dislike me, Drasek distrusts me, and well... Chad and Aya are not close to me."
[18:26] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> No one begins close to another.
15[18:27] * 13@Sammael blinks a bit at that wisdom, considering she hasn't really ever tried to begin anything with the rest. "That... is a good point."
[18:28] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis nods once, then adds some spice to her soup.
09[18:29] <13@Sammael> "I believe most of the distance is due to my reconnecting with Ao though." *she says very plainly* "That is my own fault of course."
[18:29] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> ... Hmph. Damn right it's your own fault - I just did what you asked.
09[18:30] <13@Sammael> "I know you did."
[18:30] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis peers over her shoulder once, then at the soup. "I have found people do not hand trust over easily. If you take a step backwards, it will always be harder to step forward once more."
09[18:31] <13@Sammael> "That is true. And they are right not to, I was out of my mind and my actions were thoughtless."
15[18:32] * 13@Sammael toys with her hair a little, looking at the table.
[18:32] <13@Deathstar> 6* Ao huffs more.
[18:32] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis stirs her soup. "We all do things that are not well thought out - I believe it is part of living."
09[18:33] <13@Sammael> "It has... brought enlightenment I did not have before."
[18:34] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Is that correct?
15[18:35] * 13@Sammael slips her jacket off now that she's inside, starting to get a little warm. "I realized that I was on a leash, instead of strings."
[18:36] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Hm. A leash. Those are interesting devices. 6* She tilts her head in thought.
09[18:37] <13@Sammael> "Somehow in irony this connection to Ao has helped me learn that I need to be personally more dependant. I was following leads without question... even when I wanted to question."
[18:38] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> E-Eh?
15[18:39] * 13@Sammael tilts her head a little. "Xanatos explained it best... I was basically serving Darien's every command without question."
[18:39] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Hm. I see. I find most people do that because he is a General.
09[18:40] <13@Sammael> "I did it because I love him."
15[18:40] * 13@Sammael looks down a little. "I still do... it is very confusing."
[18:43] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> I love Megumi Zhenmei, and I will do almost anything she asks of me. But I am also independent in what I do, and of what I ask of her
15[18:44] * 13@Sammael nods, "I believe I am starting to learn the need for a balance between them."
15[18:46] * 13@Sammael blinks, "On that thought... Ao, I wish to thank you."
[18:47] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> W-What? Why? 6* She looks surprised
09[18:48] <13@Sammael> "You reformed this connection with me at my request, you have used your power over me very little and you have shown to me that you can be trusted more then others give you credit for, that at least deserves gratitude."
[18:52] <13@Deathstar> <Ao> I...well....
15[18:52] * 13@Sammael smiles softly. "It's alright... if Erevis trusts you then so do I."
[18:53] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis smiles a bit, turning and moving back to sit in the living room, not seeming to care that she's only in her shirt. Ao peers at Erevis.
15[18:54] * 13@Sammael doesn't seem to mind it, either used to Erevis as she is or still herself not having a huge grasp on modesty. "Is it alright that I am here for your meal?"
[18:59] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> I do not mind. There will be plenty.
15[18:59] * 13@Sammael smiles and bow her head politely. "So... are the others still asleep?"
[19:00] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> No.
15[19:00] * 13@Sammael looks around. "Oh."
[19:01] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis nods once, letting silence creep in on her end
09[19:03] <13@Sammael> "So what does everyone do with their days around here?"
[19:04] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> Whatever we feel like doing, really. Though Megumi Zhenmei has a job.
09[19:04] <13@Sammael> "Oh yes... she teaches correct?"
[19:04] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> No.
15[19:04] * 13@Sammael blinks a bit. "Oh? What does she do?"
[19:05] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> She works with Eve Summers in their science department.
09[19:06] <13@Sammael> "I see..." *she rubs her head a little* "I did not know Megumi was so gifted. I should try and converse with her on the subject more."
[19:06] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> She is very gifted and intelligent. More than I am. 6* She nods once.
15[19:08] * 13@Sammael smiles softly. "Oh yes... how is little Isis doing?"
[19:08] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> She is well. Currently she is sleeping.
15[19:09] * 13@Sammael lowers her voice a little bit reflexively. "I see, I am very glad to hear that."
[19:09] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis nods once.
15[19:12] * 13@Sammael sits back a little bit, resting a little. "Do you think we're finally at peace?"
[19:12] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> I do not know.
09[19:14] <13@Sammael> "No one seems to." *she looks down* "Is there ever a way to know?"
[19:14] <13@Deathstar> <Erevis> No.
15[19:17] * 13@Sammael sits quietly, apparently either out of things to dig conversation out with or trying to think of more.
[19:17] <13@Deathstar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, patiently sitting there, probably a zen of silence. Ao sighs loudly
15[19:18] * 13@Sammael looks over at Ao, either desperate for something to talk about or deeply curious in what would make her sigh.
[19:19] <13@Deathstar> 6* Ao doesn't do more than that, eyeing the floor
[19:21] <13@Deathstar> -END-
