[20:01] <13@DeathStar> -0-
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Soon After
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> Location: Hospital
03[20:02] * Xanatos is now known as Drasek
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien is hooked up to machines for his damage, in a coma of sorts, IVs hooked into his good arm . Meanwhile, Eve seems to be examining Drasek, using scanners to get a feel for his condition. Fiore remains near him
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya tiredly sits on a bench
[20:03] <13Megumi> 6Dawn stands in the doorway, arms and feet crossed, eyes closed. Apparently just remaining near Fiore after the fiasco.
15[20:03] * 13@Drasek lays there, watching Eve quietly, his face is still white as a sheet, though he occasionally takes concerned glances towards Fiore.
15[20:03] * 13Chad`Winters stands against the wall across from Aya, finishing on configuring his datapad to find runes again
15[20:03] * 13@Sammael has mostly worked on herself, but didn't refuse any help offered from the hospital, having had the shit beat out of her by Fiore.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> His poison levels seem to be rising steadily
[20:04] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> ...they will, till they can't rise anymore.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> But I thought they dropped naturally on their own before
15[20:05] * 13@Sammael rubs the back of her head, listening quietly for now, she's been distant and lost in thought, but in a brooding manner, not the usual crazy way.
[20:05] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> Been relyin on that rune. 6He says slowly, giving an odd grunt as she shifts slightly. 1...can't say all that damage i've taken isn't adding up now.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I'll see what we can do. 6* She moves to step out
15[20:06] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he shifts his right hand along his belt and grabs small tool. He turns the datapad over and starts tweaking something inside
[20:06] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek barely manages a nod, laying there quietly, he eventually lets out a breath. 1Never thought this is how i'd go, eh?
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> You will be healed.
15[20:07] * 13@Sammael gets up, going to peek in on Darien.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya watches Sam heading for the door, then looks at Chad, as if wanting him to stop her
[20:08] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek manages a smile. 1That's the hope, luv.
15[20:08] * 13Chad`Winters glances over at Aya then looks at Sam. 1"Leave him be, Sam."
15[20:08] * 13@Sammael stops at the door, a hand on it. "I just... want to see him..."
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Haven't you hurt him enough?
[20:08] <13Chad`Winters> And right now, I doubt he'd want to see you, considering what just happened.
15[20:09] * 13@Sammael flinches and lets go of the door, nodding before moving to sit down again. "I'm sorry..."
[20:10] <13Megumi> 6Dawn eyes the happening, then sighs and gets up. He moves toward Darien's room.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I don't mean to sound cruel, Miss. Hendricks, but coming from you, I'm sorry is becoming annoying. You say you're sorry all the time that the words are becoming meaningless. I know you weren't in control, but you left yourself open to be controlled
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya stands up and moves down the hallway.
15[20:10] * 13Chad`Winters grunts and turns his datapad around, putting the tool in his mouth. He eyes Aya walk off and moves after her
15[20:11] * 13@Sammael nods quietly. Looking down at the floor, she grips her knees and closes her eyes.
[20:11] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek peers up at the sound of what's going on outside his room and then reaches out to take Fiore's hand whenever Dawn leaves, giving her a weak smile.
[20:11] <13Megumi> 6Dawn blinks at that, gaping slightly. He peers up and wonders if he's a bad influence, then enters Darien's room.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore glances at Drasek, but doesn't move her hand.
15[20:12] * 13Chad`Winters reboots his datapad and sets it on his hip. He puts the tool away. 1"You alright, Aya?"
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya stops at a window, glancing at. "Yes. I'm just tired of people being hurt."
[20:12] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> Takes a bloke...dying and all that rubbish...to realize some things, don't it?
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Realize what?
15[20:13] * 13Chad`Winters frowns and puts both his hands on her shoulders as he steps up behind her. 1"We all are, Aya."
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods once, peering out the window
[20:14] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> I care alot...about you. I'm a ponce for taking our time together for granted...sorry, luv, never imagined things would turn out like this.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Will plenty of time.
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> The hardest thing for me, is having to watch you see it all.
15[20:15] * 13@Sammael gets up, pacing a little as she starts to calm down again, she moves to a window and peers out at it. "I hope you were right Wind... I really do..." *she mutters quietly*
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> ...
[20:15] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> ...I hope so. 6He says with a weak nod.
[20:16] <13Megumi> 6Dawn gazes around the room, half-expecting Darien to not be there.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien is there and all. Coma and IVed.
[20:16] <13Megumi> 6Dawn moves over and sits, shaking his head.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore pats his hand
[20:16] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek opens his mouth to say something, then lets out a breath, leaning his head back to rest.
15[20:17] * 13@Sammael rubs the back of her head and leans against the glass, staring out still. "...I'll figure this out... then I'll be gone... they don't need another liability in their lives anymore..."
15[20:17] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his hands around to hug his his daughter, holding her tightly.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya lets herself be hugged, peering back at Chad with a worried look for him
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve steps back into the room with some shots.
[20:19] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek pauses to peer at her oddly.
[20:19] <13Chad`Winters> We'll find the rune for Drasek so he can be his old annoying self again.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve sets the five shots down, taking one and giving it to him
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I know we will.
15[20:19] * 13@Sammael looks down at her hands and clenches them into fists. "I'll do it... like I said... I'll use every ounce of life I have left and stop this..."
[20:19] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> ...bloody hell is that?
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> A drug that might counteract the poison's effects.
[20:20] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> I'll cross my...fingers.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve sits back, watching his vitals.
15[20:21] * 13Chad`Winters looks out at the window. 1"I just keep telling myself there's something out there to make this all worth it."
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> If you keep thinking that, daddy, you'll never find what's already here.
[20:22] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek shifts his head enough so that he can watch them too, who knows if he can actually read what it all means though.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore quietly observes. After a bit, the vitals seem to begin to stablize
15[20:23] * 13Chad`Winters chuckles lightly. 1"How did I ever manage to raise a girl so innocent and caring?"
[20:23] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek doesn't make a notion to see if he realizes what's happening, he just keeps staring.
15[20:23] * 13@Sammael closes her eyes and starts to cry, wipping her eyes on her sleeve. She smiles a little and stares at her reflection.
09[20:24] <13@Sammael> "Moron..."
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I guess I had a lot of friends and family around me. 6* She peers at him with a smile
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> It seems to be working
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Indeed, Drasek's body seems to be capable of movement again
[20:25] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> Oh. That's why the number stopped going up, eh? Fancy that. 6He notes, lifting a hand up slowly to peer at it.
15[20:25] * 13Chad`Winters looks down at, smiling slightly. 1"Lucky for me."
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Maybe you should think about how they're always there for you, too
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> It's a temporary fix. Soon your body won't respond. That's why there's only four more shots.
15[20:26] * 13Chad`Winters looks out the window again, probably reflecting.
[20:26] <13@Drasek> If I don't have the rune back inside me by then, i'm a goner, eh?
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Bluntly, yes.
[20:27] <13@Drasek> Brilliant. 6He notes, despite his tone suggesting he doesn't think much of the idea of dying.
15[20:28] * 13@Sammael wipes her eyes and moves to Drasek's door, she peeks in slowly.
15[20:28] * 13Chad`Winters lets go of Aya and he grabs his datapad. 1"Let's find that rune."
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve steps back out into the hallway to let Drasek and Fiore have a moment alone. She moves past Sam, bumping her out of the way. Fiore eyes the door, and slams it in Sam's face
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Poisonous bitch
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve moves down the hallway for Chad and Aya.
[20:29] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek pushes himself to sit up now, wincing slightly. 1My my, what a mouth you have, luv.
15[20:29] * 13@Sammael sighs and looks down. She moves to sit down again in silence.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore eyes him, peering away. "Ah. Aha."
15[20:29] * 13Chad`Winters brings the program online and activates the scanner.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve stops behind Chad and Aya. "Drasek will be fine for now. Do you plan to follow after Megumi and the others?"
15[20:30] * 13@Drasek shifts around to let his legs hang over the bed, eyeing his lack of shirt since most of it was burnt away anyway. 1Don't guess you lot know where the Rune is, eh?
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore shakes her head. "Do not know. Been here with you."
[20:30] <13Chad`Winters> Unless we can find that Rune, Drasek's dead.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> You'd need a bigger scanner than that datapad to find a rune.
04[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves down the hallway, stopping before Sammael, then holds out a collar to her
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Around your neck.
15[20:31] * 13@Sammael blinks, looking up at it. "...What...?"
15[20:31] * 13Chad`Winters nods. 1"And you guys have one."
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Put it around your neck.
[20:31] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> Ah. 6He smiles despite not knowing. 1 ...thank you, luv. I-6He clears his throat, rubbing the back of his neck.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We've already scanned. The only rune we detected was in the Rainforest, and those on the Rune Blade.
15[20:32] * 13@Sammael looks at him a bit tense, she's been treated like a puppet a bit too much for her liking lately. "Why?"
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Because if you want to leave this building again, you'll do it.
15[20:32] * 13@Sammael nods and takes it, putting it on.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore nods once to Sam, then moves and opens the door for Drasek
[20:33] <13Chad`Winters> I can only think of a few ways for the Rune to not be on this planet.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Someone took it off?
[20:33] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek lets out a breath, moving over to pick up the other 4 needles, moving towards the door, slowly getting back to a normal state.
15[20:33] * 13Chad`Winters nods. 1"And the odd's are higher that it was Ao.
09[20:33] <13@Sammael> "Will it stop me if I lose control again?"
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> In a way.
09[20:34] <13@Sammael> "What will it do?"
04[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander holds out a trigger device to Drasek. "If Sammael turns against you again, flick the red switch."
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Oh.
[20:35] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek peers at it and takes it. 1Right.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> If she tries to remove it, or if the device is destroyed, it'll remove her head
[20:35] <13Chad`Winters> It's her or hope to track down every ship that left from the time the rune was lost to now and hope it wasnt' taken off world by a cloaked ship.
09[20:35] <13@Sammael> "...And if he pushes the button?"
[20:35] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> Yeah? Guess I know what the button does.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Same thing
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Does that mean we follow them?
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks Sam over now
15[20:36] * 13Chad`Winters nods.
15[20:36] * 13@Sammael doesn't seem to react to that, other then to bow her head.
[20:37] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek hmms and pockets it. 1Need a shirt if i'm going to kick a little redhead arse, mate.
15[20:37] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Eve now. 1"You guys have a lock on their shuttle, right?"
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> No. It's too far away for that
[20:38] <13Chad`Winters> Than after we jump, we'll have to try and lock onto it.
09[20:38] <13@Sammael> "Drasek?"
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes Drasek, then looks at Fiore. "Could always get one from her."
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods. "We have a shuttle ready on top of the roof."
[20:39] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek hmms and peers over towards Fiore, eyebrow arched slightly.
15[20:39] * 13Chad`Winters looks at Aya again. 1"You plan on coming with?"
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> If you'll let me.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore moves off to find something
15[20:40] * 13@Sammael looks at Drasek.
[20:40] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek tilts his head slightly and peers towards Sam now.
09[20:40] <13@Sammael> "...Don't hesitate."
[20:40] <13Chad`Winters> Are you upto it? You look tired.
15[20:40] * 13@Sammael looks away after she says that at the window.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I'll be fine.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Really.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya cups her hands together, looking hopeful
[20:41] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek eyes her. 1If you're worried about that, you clearly don't know me.
15[20:41] * 13Chad`Winters nods over to a backpack on a seat by Draseks room. 1"Your suits in there, get dressed than."
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore returns with a doctor's lab coat.
09[20:41] <13@Sammael> "I'm not... I just... felt a need to say it."
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, taking her suit, then slipping into Darien's room, to use his bathroom
[20:42] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek shakes his head at Sam and then peers towards the coat. He lets out a whistle. 1Fancy.
15[20:42] * 13Chad`Winters rubs his unshaven face and steps over to the window, looking out it again while he waits.
[20:42] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek reaches out to take it, giving Fiore a smile.
15[20:43] * 13@Sammael keeps staring out at the window, crossing her arms.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Dawn, then moves into the bathroom
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Good luck, all of you
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves off
[20:43] <13Megumi> 6Dawn blinks at Aya's appearance, then tilts his head, wondering why she'd use that bathroom.
[20:44] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek winces as he moves to slide it on, covering up the horrible scar that's on his chest, at least until he starts to moves and the wind blows the coat back open.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve stands beside Chad, touching his shoulder. Probably trying to cheer him up
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya finishes and steps back out into Darien's room. "We're about to go, Dawn."
[20:45] <13Megumi> 6Dawn looks to her, blinking. He missed something.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore sees to debate psionically tapping the button
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya steps back out into the hallway
[20:46] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek clears his throat, eyeing Fiore.
15[20:46] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Eve. 1"Hmmm?"
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Take care of yourself out there
[20:46] <13Megumi> 6Dawn rises and moves to join Aya.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks at him. "Merely thought we should see if it works."
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> No promises.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> Typical Chad. 6* She smiles and moves off
[20:47] <13@Drasek> <Drasek> If it doesn't, you can do it the ol fashioned way. Eh?
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha.
15[20:48] * 13@Sammael looks down and walks away a bit so she doesn't have to hear it anymore, looking at the window still.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> Location: The Temple of the Progenitors
03[20:49] * Drasek is now known as Xanatos
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Stepping up to the closed doors, which not even the Erusians have been able to open, the marble white temple stands before them. A protocol of the reality, no doubt, when it was created
[20:49] <13Megumi> <Megumi> So this...
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at it, and Ao moves to the doors, touching them
15[20:50] * 13@Xanatos comes to a stop, peering up at them.
[20:50] <13Myria> This is an unusual structure in Erus space as we prefer crystal to stone in our construction..assuming it is actually what it appears to be made of.
[20:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron quietly watches Ao, always interested in how Progenitor things worked.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Centerpoint was made of crystal, too
[20:51] <13@Xanatos> I think maybe this was to keep people from figuring out it was Progenitor related, maybe.
[20:51] <13Megumi> Possible...
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door glows and it slides open. Inside is a single room with only a crystal structure in the midle.
15[20:52] * 13@Xanatos peers down at Erevis, then looks to Ao.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao rushes inside.
[20:52] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron tilts his head. 1Ah. There is Crystal inside. 6He moves after her. Xanatos moves forward now, too.
[20:52] <13Myria> Now this is more familiar. *moves within*
[20:52] <13Megumi> No respect...
15[20:53] * 13Megumi bows her head in reverence, then moves in quietly, gazing about with her night-vision and all.
[20:53] <13Myria> The irony though is that the non-crystalconstruction made it stand out more since its inside Erusian space.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Since when does Ao have respect.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis stirs slightly, opening her eyes, fevered still. "Kitten..?"
[20:54] <13Megumi> I am here beloved... ...we are... inside something of the Progenitors.
15[20:54] * 13@Xanatos peers down at Erevis, oddly quiet.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves in as well. Ao is at the crystal structure, arranging them
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Why are...we here?
[20:54] <13Megumi> <Megumi> We must, if it will make you well.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am ill? 6* She pauses, then remembers. "I apologize. Perhaps a cold."
[20:54] <13Myria> Well, we don't really know what this structure can do.
[20:54] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers at Ao. 1Curious how you can distinguish them.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cuddles Isis
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> We'll all get you better soon, Erevis. Just hang in there.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I'm a Progenitor, duh
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao finishes and a teleporter pad activates in the middle of the room.
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I realize. Do they have distinguished form or some sort of device that signifies their difference?
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Hard to explain to a non-Progenitor
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Xanatos. "Hello, Xanatos Durran."
15[20:56] * 13@Xanatos bows his head once.
[20:56] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Ah of course.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao hops on and teleports away
15[20:57] * 13Myria shrugs to Theron.
[20:57] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers towards everyone. 1I do hope this is not Progenitor only. 6He moves to step on.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron vanishes
[20:58] <13Megumi> 6Megumi stays with Zephyr and Isis, worried, sighing.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Should we follow?
15[20:58] * 13@Xanatos takes in a breath, doing his best to mask his worry still, not wanting Erevis or Isis to pick up on it, he moves forward to step on the teleporter. 1I think so. She didn't say to wait.
15[20:58] * 13Myria steps forward on to the pad.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos and Erevis vanish
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* As does Myria
[20:59] <13Megumi> Of course, Zephy..
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> But Isis is still a baby, the teleporter could be harmful
[21:00] <13Megumi> Ao was holding her, was she not...? I think... she is... well.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds up Isis
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* She eyes the teleporter, then approaches it
[21:02] <13Megumi> 6Megumi moves up aside her, focused on ahead.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* The three teleport. As they reappear, they'd find themselves in an area with metal and crystal, and terminals. Ao motions Xan to put Erevis on a pad
15[21:02] * 13@Xanatos peers around and moves to do so.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao moves to a terminal and hits a few buttons, the words in another language. She types and a crystal shell surrounds Erevis
[21:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers around oddly.
15[21:03] * 13Myria looks around curiously.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao hits a button and something begins to occur inside the crystal shell. Isis cries a bit, so Zephyr hushes her, rocking her
15[21:04] * 13@Xanatos eyes the shell and then peers towards Ao. 1What's it doing?
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Fixing her
[21:04] <13Megumi> 6Megumi focuses on Isis, but jerks, looking toward Erevis and the shell. 1"..."
[21:04] <13Megumi> Ao...
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao glances at Megumi
15[21:05] * 13@Xanatos rubs his chin, but doesn't say anything, trying to peer inside so that he can see what it's doing.
[21:05] <13Megumi> When you say 'fix..'
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos could make nothing out
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Yes. Her disease.
15[21:05] * 13Megumi glances away, and returns her attention to Isis.
[21:06] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers between them, then makes an ah sound. 1Interesting.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao goes to say more when an alarm rings once. She pauses, moving to a terminal, and enters information
15[21:06] * 13@Xanatos jerks his head up and towards Ao. 1What's going on?
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao brings up an imagine of a Tsivrixsh battlecruiser in orbit, black lines on it
[21:07] <13Myria> Oh no...
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> W-What? How dare those monkeys have Dark technology, and to be here of all places.
[21:07] <13Megumi> <Megumi> H-How!/
15[21:07] * 13@Xanatos widens his eyes. 1Tsiv? 6He grits his teeth. 1Damnit.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns. "Maybe someone in the Ascendency told them we'd be here."
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers around slowly. 1I do not know who would. Though I don't deny that is a strong possibility.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll hold them off. 6* She hands Isis to Xanatos, then moves for the teleporter pad.
15[21:09] * 13@Xanatos jerks and widens his eyes. 1She can't hold them off alone.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps on and vanishes
[21:09] <13Megumi> Z-Zephy! No way.. I will come!
[21:09] <13Megumi> <Zephy!>
[21:10] <13Myria> Zephyr is going to fight them alone?!
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <You should look over Erevis!>
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers towards Myria. 1Do you believe it would be possible that I could attain a gear?
[21:10] <13Megumi> <You cannot fight a cruiser alone!?>
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <.... >
03[21:10] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@blk-89-239-1.eastlink.ca) has joined #erevis
03[21:10] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr exits the temple, eyeing Tsivrixsh shuttles coming down
[21:10] <13Myria> Ummm...from where?
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron hmms and shakes his head, moving to step on the teleporter.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao sighs. "I can't help, I have to keep an eye on Erevis."
15[21:12] * 13@Xanatos makes a face. 1..damnit, damnit.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires at the shuttles, her shots not damaging the shields.
[21:12] <13Megumi> Ao, Xanatos... I am trusting you." 6She moves and runs to the pad, closing her eyes.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Megumi appears in the temple behind Zephyr
[21:13] <13Megumi> Zephy!" 6She leans and trots toward her.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron moves to step out, holding his rifle, he frowns since as long as they stay in their shuttles, he's a sitting duck.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back. "Meg?! You should stay inside!"
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttles come in closer, then fire shots at the entrance
[21:13] <13Megumi> I cannot just leave you to be a diversion!" 6She blinks at the increase of light and strains to move quicker.
[21:13] <13Myria> Miss Ao, are there any defenses in this temple?
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron widens his eyes. 1Get back! 6He attempts to back up out of the line of fire.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Not in the outside part, no
[21:14] <13Myria> Then we are horribly outgunned.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps back as the entrance is hit
[21:14] <13Megumi> Zephy! Zephyr!
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls back and lands by Megumi, her loin cloth out of place. She quickly fixes it, blushing
[21:15] <13Megumi> 6Megumi shakes her head, grabbing Zephyr's hands as she does, pulling her to herself.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is pulled into Megumi
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers up slightly, clearing his throat, he pushes himself to his feet, stepping back near the teleporter so he can defend it from any infantry that slip by the two.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* A shuttle lands while two more keep guard. Troops run off.
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron kneels and aims his rifel, switching it to full auto.
15[21:16] * 13Megumi takes a deep breath, then clutches Zephyr and focuses on initialization.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The two form their mighty Gear, smashing through the temple entrance, knocking marble about dramatically, providing Theron with more cover. The shuttles fire at them immediately.
[21:19] <13Megumi> 6Megumi brings up her hands, one hand drawing a flight path to get them moving out of direct fire, the other starting on the targeting, pointing and selecting them as they move.
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers at them, and then moves to get behind the cover.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens fire at the shuttles as they go upward, wasting no time. Their shots smash into the shuttle's shields, which hold. The troops on the ground rush at the entrance
[21:20] <13Myria> How long until Miss Erevis can move again?
[21:20] <13Megumi> 6Megumi shifts her attention, dragging a finger across the ground-- at a safe distance from Theron-- across the troops she sees so they'll strafe fire along them.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Soon
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troops are thrown about as they're hit by Dragoon fire, body limbs flying about. The two shuttles fire missiles with dark lines at Zephyr
[21:22] <13Megumi> Zephy, evade..!
[21:23] <13Megumi> 6Megumi holds out both hands, dropping her assisted targetting to focus on increases Zephyr's agility with her manifest augmenting.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks backwards in the sky, then zooms upward, the missiles following her. One shuttle fires a missile for Theron
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron arches a brow and jerks to run towards the right, diving to get away from the explosion.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* The missile impacts, and the explosive dark energy would expand outward, destroying all the marble cover and leaving an even bigger hole than before. The two shuttles begin to fire missile after missile inside
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron hits the ground and slides roughly, eventually slamming into the wall. He coughs and peers up, frowning before he would dive for the teleporter.
[21:25] <13Megumi> Damn! They need to disable the teleporter!
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron comes diving back inside the lab area.
[21:26] <13Myria> Theron, are you alright?!
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao shuts the teleporter off after she sees the results of the battle outside. The missiles destroy the teleporter moments later
[21:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron slides to a halt, frowning. 1....I am fine.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires at the missiles chasing them, destroying them
[21:26] <13Myria> Miss Ao, are we actually inside the temple or in another location entirely?
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> We're under it.
[21:27] <13Megumi> 6Megumi sighs, adjusting to the exhiliration for a moment, holding her chest, then shakes her head. Regaining her bearings, she eyes the ships, looking for those among the smallest.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The two shuttles begin to fly away. The sky above them darkens, and a giant beam flies down at them
[21:28] <13Megumi> 6Megumi's eyes widen and she sends them straight back to avoid it, then upwards. 1"D-Damn!"
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits the planet, causing a giant crater. Those in the lab would feel the effects doublely so.
[21:29] <13Myria> ...that means they can still shoot at us...darn it.
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron goes to push himself up but the shaking from the attacks causing him to slip and fall.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers upward. "We need to destroy the battleship."
15[21:29] * 13Megumi brings them upward as quickly as possible. 1"Noted."
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis begins to wail in Xan's hands
15[21:29] * 13@Xanatos holds Isis close to him, keeping his balance for the most part, he begins to rock her. 1Shhhh. It's ok.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> Location: Erusian Ascendency
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* The people in the government keep giving the team the runabout as to what planet the others went
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nervously taps her fingers, and Fiore keeps an eye on Drasek, who's already getting weaker again
[21:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits there, looking pissed, despite getting weaker. He idley wipes at some sweat. 1Look. You lot are in danger if we don't stop them. 6He says.
15[21:32] * 13Chad`Winters pinches the bridge of his nose. 1"Look, we don't have this kind of time. We need to know where they went and we need permission to follow them."
[21:32] <13Megumi> 6Dawn shakes his head, then pulls out both datapads. He hooks them into the shuttle, then uses the comm channel to access the Erusian network, using one to dedicated download tourist information-- locations, pictures, entertainment, etc. The other he uses to actively tap into the departure logs.
15[21:32] * 13@Sammael sits quietly, having chosen a seat apart from the others, staring off quietly.
[21:32] <13Myria> <Erusian> I'm sorry, but you will have to await an answer from the committee.
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> I'm DYING. I need to find them, or I'll die. A progenitor, one of those blokes you love, will DIE if you don't help us find them.
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Drasek*
15[21:33] * 13Chad`Winters eyes his scanners which are still looking for the other ships tracker.
[21:34] <13Myria> <Erusian> I'm apologize, but the current administration does not recognize the authority of the progenitors.
[21:34] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ....brilliant.
15[21:36] * 13@Sammael rubs her head softly and sighs gently, leaning against the shuttle wall and closing her eyes.
14[21:36] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-183-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:36] <13Myria> 6* The hack requires extra time due to the need for a translator between the coding languages used by Earth and the Ascendancy.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya cups her hands together, stepping to the comm. "Please let us through. Our friends are danger. We beg you."
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> We all do. Even me. If we don't help them, they could die too.
[21:37] <13Myria> <Erusian> Once again, I apologize. I do not have the authorization to grant you authorization.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Can you please just accidently tell us, then look the other way?
03[21:38] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-183-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #erevis
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Let the coordinates accidentally slip and land on our console or something, eh?
[21:38] <13Myria> <Erusian> I cannot do such a thing.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> These people helped you find a cure to the virus. Does that mean nothing?
15[21:39] * 13Chad`Winters glances at the shuttles scanners again.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Nothing, apparantly they're too far
[21:40] <13Myria> 6* Dawn gets an arrival log for them finally.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> If only had. Ariel. Sense out Megumi.
[21:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek makes an annoyed face.
[21:41] <13Myria> <Erusian> As I stated before, the committee has not granted me authorization to access, much less dispense, the data that you have requested.
15[21:41] * 13Chad`Winters grunts. 1"Than get them too."
[21:41] <13Megumi> 6Dawn stares at the arrival log. He was trying for the departure log. He sighs. He peruses it while he waits on this finagle Erusian BS to decrypt.
[21:42] <13Myria> <Erusian> The committee is not currently in session. I apologize.
[21:43] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Cut the transmission before I go insane and kill the whole lot of them.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya sits back, clearly mad. "If this is the help the Erusian Ascendency gives to people who saves their entire people, then they weren't deserving of that help."
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> If Erevis and Ao had debated with Earth about the virus, their entire planet would be dead.
[21:43] <13Megumi> 6Dawn reaches over to pat Aya on the shoulder, seemingly feeling the same way about their infrastructure.
09[21:43] <13@Sammael> "So why not give them self interest?"
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Dawn, and seems to relax.
[21:44] <13Myria> <Erusian> Oh, I have a memo concerning your query that just arrived to my attention.
14[21:44] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-183-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:45] <13Megumi> 6Dawn eyes the others and ends the datapad query for vacation information, editing a small communication monitoring routine to do something else.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> What does the memo say?
[21:46] <13Myria> <Erusian> Miss Myria Arhnya has arranged special dispensation for you. The destination coordinates are being provided now. *the coordinates are transmitted to their terminal...just as Dawn's datapad dings as it finishes finding the exact same information*
03[21:46] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-183-14.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #erevis
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya leans in to enter the coordinates.
[21:46] <13Megumi> 6Dawn hits some keys at opportune moments, the comm emitting beeps over the Erusian speaking-- making it seem like he's cursing under censorship.
[21:47] <13Megumi> 6Dawn sits back, easily amused with that.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Lets go, Dad.
15[21:47] * 13@Sammael sighs and leans back again.
15[21:47] * 13Chad`Winters enters hyperspace for the coordinates
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I never want to go there again
[21:47] <13Chad`Winters> Agreed.
[21:48] <13Megumi> 6Dawn leaves them a virus that causes their orbital comm systems to do the same beeping 'censorship' function at random intervals of article adjectives in common and Erusian.
[21:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts. 1I want that rune so I can blow up their entire fucking planet. 6He says moodily, getting more short fused the sicker he gets.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore gets a shot ready for him
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds up his hand. 1Seeing how long I can make it till I need it, luv.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Hai hai
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore takes Drasek's hand puts it on her breast. "Distract you then."
[21:50] <13Chad`Winters> Far too convenient for this, somethings up.
[21:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek eyes widen and he peers down at his hand, then up at Fiore, then down at his hand. 1Please tell me i'm not hallucinating.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. What do you see?
[21:50] <13Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Drasek, tossing a knife up in idle thought. He's not hallucinating.
15[21:50] * 13@Sammael just remains quiet in the back, eyes closed, possibly asleep.
[21:51] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> It's not the seeing, luv. It's the feeling.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya keeps focused ahead, not wanting to look back
15[21:51] * 13Chad`Winters unholsters his modified gun, checking it over a second than hands it back to Aya.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes it. "I don't really like using guns, DAd. I think I'll forgo it."
15[21:52] * 13Chad`Winters glances back now at her than nods, he slides it back into it's holster. 1"I taught you well than."
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at that
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> Location: Temple of the Progenitors
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The battleship opens fire with a barrage of blasts at Zephyr. PREPARE URSELF KIT
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 5
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 4
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 3
[21:53] <13Megumi> rldurldurldurldurld
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 2
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shots manage to miss them as they get in closer. Zephyr begins to form her giant dragoon bustah gun
[21:54] <13Megumi> You know... there is really no reason to continue running from all of them... there are two of us. Multi-task!
[21:54] <13Megumi> 6Megumi takes up the role of secondary weapons, tapping with all of her finger tips to get locks on the guns firing at them.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gathers energy, aiming at the bridge as Megumi handles the smaller guns. The Tsivrxish fires a huge beam of dark energhy at them in response
[21:56] <13Megumi> 6Megumi winces. 1"C-Can you handle it?"
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast slams into Zephyr, knocking them backwards in a wild, frenzied roll, her armor damaged. Apparantly she was too focused on the gun
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* She straightens herself and unleashes her blast at the bridge
[21:57] <13Megumi> 6Megumi groans, then shakes her head to clear it, blinking and focusing, bringing up a hand and creating an enlarged frame to see a zoom of the effect.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast slams into the Tsivrixsh's shield, and destroys it, but the bridge remains untouched
[21:57] <13Megumi> Damn! ...Any energy left?
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <S-Sure.>
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh ship powers up another blasty.
[21:58] <13Megumi> Oh... I see.
[21:58] <13Megumi> 6Megumi frowns, then leans forward and begins to charge them toward the ship, focusing her own energies.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* The ship fires at them in response.
[21:59] <13Megumi> 6Megumi brings then down at an angle, calculating in her head to have the maximum velocity but the closes distance that avoids being struck by the shot.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims and fires a quick blast, hitting the bridge of the ship
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast manages to miss them, continuing on it's merry way
[21:59] <13Megumi> It is not enough.
[22:00] <13Megumi> 6Megumi adjusts their course, aiming for the ship.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to put all her energy into an attack
[22:00] <13Megumi> No need.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <What do you have in mind?>
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh begins to fire smaller dark beams at them
[22:01] <13Megumi> Ever seen what an orbiting comet does to stations or ships when they cross paths?
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <No....>
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twists to avoid the blasts for now
15[22:01] * 13Megumi brings the manipulated energy toward their front, slowly creating a light-less crescent ripple.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsvirixsh ship flies right at them suddenly, boosting forward.
[22:02] <13Megumi> Usually the comet is moving so fast and has such high kinetic energy it pierces through unphased.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I-I don't like this idea.>
[22:02] <13Megumi> Let them get cocky about their size.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I'll be a bug on a windshield!!>
[22:03] <13Megumi> You are a bug now, is it?
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flails about, trying to break course
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is about to smash into the Gear
[22:04] <13Megumi> 6Megumi shakes her head, 1"Focus, streamline, sheesh." 6She brings both hands forward, concentrating the unfocused ripple so that its heaviest mass is directly ahead and centralized, much like the singularity attack.
[22:04] <13Megumi> Size is their undoing in this case.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* As the Gear collides into the Tsivrixsh ship, a flare of dark energy expands from it's shields, and the shields seem to grow stronger and bigger, instead of being hit
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* In front of them, a dark matter black hole forms
[22:05] <13Megumi> Wh-What the hell..!?" 6She panics slightly, but keeps her hands forward, to keep that manifest she created between them.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The black hole seems to grow larger.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Okay, worse than a bug on a windshield.>
[22:06] <13Megumi> This does not even make sense! This is outside physics!
[22:07] <13Megumi> What is that!?
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, the blackhole suddenly increases so big it tears the ship apart, and begins to suck them in
[22:08] <13Megumi> Gh!! R-Retreat!" 6She manipulates her own, drawing the event horizone out along a given path opposite of them, trying to counter the gravity well with an inversely driven one.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr boosts backwards. Megumi's attack seems to work enough that the two break away and the blackhole collapses in on itself.
[22:09] <13Megumi> D-Did they self-destruct..? What happened!?
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I-I-I don't know.>
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, on the planet, the terminals flicker and energy flashes inside the crystal chamber.
15[22:10] * 13@Xanatos jerks slightly. 1What was that?
[22:10] <13Myria> Something big must have just happened!
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> She should be fine now. 6* She hits a button to lift the crytal shield up. Inside Erevis is laying there, her hair completely white.
15[22:10] * 13@Xanatos eyes her hair and frowns. 1What happened to her?
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I--I don't know. 6* She holds her head now, as if having a pain. Erevis shifts and opens her eyes, getting to her knees.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis cries more, seemingly more upset than before.
[22:11] <13@Xanatos> Erevis. Are you ok?
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She peers toward Xanatos, tilting her head, then rises to her feet, eyeing her hand. "Yes. Better than okay."
15[22:11] * 13@Xanatos frowns and rocks Isis more, trying his best to calm her down.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* In space, the slight connection to Erevis that Meg has to her through Ariel isn't present
15[22:12] * 13Myria moves to check the terminals to try to determine what might have happened, if she can.
15[22:12] * 13@Xanatos tilts his head. 1Better?
[22:12] <13Megumi> <Megumi> ..O-Oh.. Oh no.
[22:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron stands there calmly, peering at Erevis.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ao. "You have done good, Ao." 6* She gestures once with her hand, psionically taking the rune from her pocket and landing it in her hand.
15[22:13] * 13@Xanatos glances between Ao and Erevis quickly, his face instantly frowning. 1...no
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's all written in a language Myria couldn't decipher.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I-but..Erevis? Is that you?"
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <What's wrong?>
15[22:13] * 13@Xanatos takes a step back, shifting himself a bit to the side, putting Isis away from them. 1Ao....how could you?
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers toward Xanatos, then psionically takes Isis from him, if she can manage
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I--
[22:14] <13Megumi> 6Megumi shifts Zephyr around, pointing her toward the planetside, bringing up imagery of the temple, more panels with scans and readings, then pulls Zephyr's gun around, aiming, viewing all the different screens and clearly calculating something.
15[22:14] * 13@Xanatos strains, trying to keep the baby, but wouldn't to the point of killing her. 1No. Leave her out of this.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> She is my child.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <W-What are you doing?>
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> Erevis...is that YOU, or...are you the Goddess?
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron frowns, not sure what is going on.
[22:15] <13Megumi> ..." 6She begins powering the weapon, wincing. 1"D-Damn it. Damn it. Damn it!"
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am Erevis. And I am a goddess. There is no difference.
[22:15] <13Myria> ...I can't read this...
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Did something happen to Erevis?>
[22:15] <13@Xanatos> Are you the Erevis that loves me, and Megumi, and this baby? 6He asks quickly.
[22:15] <13Megumi> It is a matter of what has unhappened.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Unhappened?>
[22:16] <13Megumi> Ao... did you really?
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Love. A weak emotion.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns away. "Keep the child, then, Xanatos Durran."
15[22:16] * 13@Xanatos frowns. 1Damnit...Goddamnit.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Come on, Ao. We have work to do. 6* Ao eyes her, hesitating, looking at Xanatos now.
[22:17] <13Megumi> 6Megumi begins moving for the surface, finished with her calculation. She adjusts it to the southeast of the temple slightly, then fires, screaming furiously.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <What did that bitch do?>
15[22:17] * 13@Xanatos glances to the ground. 1Did you know this was going to happen?
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I thought she had a virus... 6* She mumbles, as Erevis takes her hand, moving to the wall, placing her hand against it. A panel opens and the two move through it, as the panel shuts
[22:18] <13Myria> They left us here!
15[22:18] * 13@Xanatos steps forward, eyes wide. 1NO!
[22:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron makes a face, glancing around.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The area rocks as a blast destroys the ceiling
15[22:19] * 13@Xanatos jerks, shielding Isis as he falls back.
[22:19] <13Megumi> 6Megumi follows the shot through, dropping them inside promptly.
15[22:19] * 13Myria shrieks as the ceiling is shot in.
[22:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron jerks to protect Myria, pulling them both back.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear smashes more about, but thankfully, they're not landed on, as it was aimed to the corner
[22:20] <13Megumi> 6Megumi promptly breaks the bond link and drops to the ground, not caring who has clothes or not for the moment, either the room in clear panic-aggressive state.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lands, panting hard now, having been pushed to her limits.
[22:21] <13Megumi> Where?
15[22:21] * 13@Xanatos pushses himself up to his feet, making sure Isis is ok. 1Megumi calm down.
[22:21] <13Megumi> Where is she!?
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I knew she'd..*pant* betray us...
[22:21] <13@Xanatos> Calm down, she didn't know.
[22:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron stands up, glancing to see if Myria is ok.
[22:22] <13Megumi> Yet here she is not!!
[22:22] <13Megumi> Where... Where are they!?
[22:22] <13Myria> I'm ok, Theron...just..surprised, is all. *shaking*
15[22:22] * 13@Xanatos eyes Megumi. He's apparently not going to say anything until Megumi calms down.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Xan, we don't have time to waste!
[22:23] <13Megumi> I am not letting her disappear again!
[22:24] <13Megumi> I want to know. Where. Now.
[22:24] <13@Xanatos> She was just as shocked I was. She didn't know...it had to be...I don't know a protocol or something just like with Drasek. 6He says, before nodding to where the panel was.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> She lied. She was faking not knowing.
[22:24] <13Megumi> 6Megumi stares at the wall. Panel. Not seeing anything, she peers back to Xanatos before moving over to touch it.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tries to stand, her body quivering from exhaustion
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* It doesn't respond to Meg's touch
[22:25] <13@Xanatos> You may not have ever trusted her Zephyr but I saw the real her, she didn't know.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you sure you're not going easy on her just because she looks like Erevis?!
[22:26] <13Megumi> 6Megumi pounds on it after a moment, then hits it-- then actually strikes it. Then she takes a step back and starts forming a small, focused force dagger.
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> Erevis is gone! Don't you even dare. 6He hisses, venom in his voice.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gone because of her.
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron moves over to place a hand on Megumi's shoulder, clearing his voice.
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> SHE DIDN'T KNOW!
[22:26] <13Megumi> Shut up! Both of you!
[22:26] <13Myria> Theron...what just happened?
[22:26] <13Megumi> 6Megumi drives the knife into the panelling.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The knife cuts into it, revealing a thinner wall layer
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hangs her head, as if she were slapped
[22:27] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Perhaps, instead of wasting out energy, we shall see if it reacts to little Isis.
[22:27] <13Megumi> 6Megumi strains, dragging the knife like a glass-cutter.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis is too busy wailing
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's a slow process. It'll take Megumi a bit of time
[22:27] <13Megumi> I do not wish to upset her further by being closer.
15[22:28] * 13@Xanatos makes a face, rocking Isis again to try and calm her down. 1 ...
[22:28] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> It would be quicker if you could attain control of your emotions and find out. 6He notes politely.
[22:29] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Or. Move away from the door and let them test. 6He adds that option.
[22:29] <13Megumi> 6Megumi eyes Theron, then flickers in anger, drawing on more to augment herself and slam the dagger downward quickly, then slash upward diagonal. A triangle is good enough.
[22:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron frowns. 1Very well.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* It speeds the process up, but takes a bit of time. After a minute, Megumi has cut a hole
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* A passage is on the other side
[22:30] <13Myria> They have a head start.
[22:30] <13Megumi> 6Megumi slams her foot into it, kicking the segment into the far wall inside, then moves through and starts to run down the passage.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> Location: Team Drasek's Shuttle
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* They exit hyperspace over a planet.
15[22:30] * 13Chad`Winters brings the scanners online as he heads for the planet
15[22:30] * 13@Sammael sits up slowly, stretching.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is definitely below
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek has his hands to himself finally, looking pale and pasty.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore gives him a shot when he isn't looking
15[22:31] * 13Chad`Winters brings the shuttle in, quickly breaking atmosphere and heading for the shuttle. The scanners on for life signs now
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks and eyes her, then sighs, 1Guess if I get to that point I won't be worth much in a fight anyhow.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* There appears to only be two life signs, at the shuttle
15[22:32] * 13Chad`Winters eyes the sensors. 1"That's odd. There's only two at the shuttle." He adjusts, bringing them down towards it.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks more worried than ever. Fiore nods once to Drasek
[22:33] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances to Chad, a look of worry on his face.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* As the shuttle comes in, they can see the other shuttle, and a temple that looks smashed up
[22:33] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...bloody hell, are we too late?
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers upward at the shuttle, still clutching Ao's arm. She psionically shoves Ao inside. "Start the shuttle."
15[22:34] * 13@Sammael frowns and closes her eyes, readying herself for whatever they might find.
15[22:34] * 13Chad`Winters slows the shuttle down to circle around the other shuttle. 1"I see Ao and Erevis...With white hair..."
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Lost hair color?
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> White hair? 6He arches a brow. 1Only happens when she uses a lot of hyperspace...
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah. A side effect of using hyperspace. 6He lowers the ramp as he brings the shuttle down to land a short bit away
[22:35] <13Megumi> 6Dawn seems to be frowning somewhat, rubbing his temples.
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pushes himself to his feet, shaking his head as he moves to step down the ramp, color coming back to his face.
15[22:36] * 13@Sammael unbuckles and gets up to follow.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore rises, patting Dawn, then turns to follow Drasek. Aya gets up
[22:36] <13Megumi> <Dawn> ...Oneesama..
[22:36] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Revi. Bloody hell what happened to you? Where're the others?
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other shuttle powers to life, and Erevis steps back onto the ramp.
[22:36] <13Chad`Winters> This doesn't feel right to me. Aya stay on. 6He eyes the shuttle powering up now.
[22:36] <13Megumi> 6Dawn shakes off the feeling and rises, moving to follow, but picking up his rifle.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> They are still inside the temple. I am leaving now. IF you attempt to impede my shuttle in anyway, or place a tracker on it, I will disable your shuttle in such a way that you will never get off this planet again
[22:37] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Revi? 6His face oddly goes pale again. 1...oh bloody hell.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, hesitates, then step sback
15[22:37] * 13@Sammael blinks and looks down the ramp at Chad and Drasek, she listens and steps back, remaining out of view.
15[22:38] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he listens to them using the shuttles audio system.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Her shuttle lifts up a bit
[22:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek begins to move forward. 1Wait a bloody minute.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically grips Drasek in place. "Stand your ground, protocol. Or I will undo you."
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek strains against her, his teeth gritting. 1I'm not you're soddin protocol, not anymore.
[22:39] <13Megumi> 6Dawn finally tilts his head enough to peer up at Erevis, narrowing his eyes some.
09[22:39] <13@Sammael> "She's... Ao succeeded..."
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You have always been my protocol. Your entire existence, however short it may be, has been in my service.
[22:40] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Then why am I here standing against you!?
15[22:40] * 13@Sammael leans down enough to get a look at Erevis for herself.
15[22:41] * 13Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and brings up the rune scanning program and activates it
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You will not be standing for long, will you? 6* She holds up the holy rune, then makes it vanish. "You were suppose to lead me down a path to bring our people back. And you failed. Did you think it a coincidence you ran into her that day?"
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: S1. Erevis.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> Location: L.A.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* A blueish sphere opens up and a naked man falls through it onto the ground. His name is Drasek. He has believed himself to be alive for thousands of years. The fact is it's been days. It's snowing a bit, the weather in L.A. strange, and the cold would waken him up. He's outside a pub with some English name.
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks, shivering, he strains to push himself to his feet, his lip trembling.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* A man steps out of the pub, peering at Drasek. He's wearing a fancy suit, a tourist here. "Hey, mate. Bit cold, ey?"
[22:44] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek eyes the pub, then the man. 1....ey.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* He walks over. "Need help?"
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers down at the man and tilts his head, stepping towards him. 1Just some clothes, mate. 6He reaches up to snap his neck.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man jerks as his neck is broken and he goes limp
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek kneels and begins to take his clothes off, putting them on himself. 1Bloody hell. That was nasty. 6He notes.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* A tingle can be felt. Another Progenitor is nearby. Erevis. He's been watching her for months, his memory tells him. He wants to make contact with her
[22:47] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances up and over his shoulder, adjusting his cuff's. He hmms and moves to toss the man's body in the alley, then turns and moves towards Erevis.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Present
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Now, do not stand in my way. 6* She states, psionically slamming Drasek into the shuttle as if to make her point about what she'll do if they interfere
[22:48] <13Chad`Winters> We need to stall them.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lifts up into the sky now. Erevis turns to go back inside
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore goes to check on Drasek
[22:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek slams into shuttle, falling off of it onto his knees, he shakes his head, letting out a noise. 1...no
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore tries to help Drasek up. As the shuttle becomes a dot on the horizon, Megumi would be seen running out from behind the temple
[22:50] <13Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Chad, then glances up, and shrugs. He tries to make out anything he can from the void that is Erevis.
15[22:50] * 13Chad`Winters gets up from the pilots seat now and moves down the ramp, eyeing Megumi coming.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* A beep can be heard in their shuttle
[22:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek doesn't seem to want help up, straining even to stay where he is. 1...bloody hell.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances and moves to check it
15[22:50] * 13@Sammael steps off the ramp and looks up into the sky as it fades. "...No... why..."
15[22:50] * 13Chad`Winters pauses and glances back at the shuttle. He moves inside and looks over at Aya. 1"What is it?"
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows after Megumi, clearly trying to catch her breath
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> The other shuttle is sending us it's coordinate data.
15[22:51] * 13@Xanatos steps out, holding Isis. Theron also steps out too.
[22:51] <13Chad`Winters> Hmmm. 6He sits back down, bringing them up and entering them into their starcharts.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* They're headed for Erusia
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Why would they give this to us?
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> A trap?
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore sits beside him
09[22:52] <13@Sammael> "She told us not to try and track her... so... I don't think that makes sense."
[22:52] <13Chad`Winters> Normally yeah, but that'd be too obvious.
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I knew I-...but I didn't th-6He closes his eyes. 1I'm nothing.
15[22:52] * 13@Xanatos steps up the ramp, sitting down with the baby. 1Can you track them?
[22:52] <13Megumi> 6Megumi drops punching the ground with another scream.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> You are not nothing. 6* She touches his bald head. "Can't touch nothing."
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves to Megumi to hug her
04[22:52] <13Megumi> <Dawn> Sammael.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Then what is it?
15[22:52] * 13@Sammael looks over at Dawn. "What?"
04[22:52] <13Megumi> <Dawn> Tracking. Beacon. Sammael.
[22:53] <13Chad`Winters> There destination. It'd make sense too, What does the Progenitors want more than anything. To restore there race.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> No, I mean, what is the point in telling us?
[22:53] <13Chad`Winters> To go after.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> But then we could stop them.
15[22:53] * 13@Sammael blinks, looking at him a bit confused. "What do you mean?"
[22:53] <13@Xanatos> Ao didn't know it was going to happen.
[22:53] <13@Xanatos> She really thought Erevis was sick.
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...thanks, luv. 6He leans against her a bit.
15[22:54] * 13@Sammael looks over at Xanatos. "Ao used her bond with me to try and kill everyone. She had to have known."
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> Exactly. If Erevis wanted us out of the way, she would've disabled the ship. 6he looks back at Xanatos
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> I saw it in her eyes. Ao didn't know.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Megumi and Isis. "Maybe a part of her didn't want them to be stranded here?
09[22:54] <13@Sammael> "...How is that possible? Why would she do this to us then?"
15[22:54] * 13Chad`Winters rubs his grizled face. 1"Means there's something to save."
[22:54] <13Megumi> <Dawn> Maybe planted... protocol in sister.
[22:55] <13@Xanatos> Exactly.
[22:55] <13Myria> But how do we undo this?
09[22:55] <13@Sammael> "...Erevis did this...?"
[22:55] <13Chad`Winters> We're going after them. Get everyone back on the shuttle.
[22:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers around, stepping up the ramp and then sitting down.
15[22:55] * 13@Sammael gets back on the shuttle, she looks in complete disbeleif.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr helps Megumi up, whispering in her ear. "You can save her, Megumi. Your love is strong enough to break any chains."
09[22:55] <13@Sammael> "But if that's true he meant that I... would... no... that can't be right..."
15[22:56] * 13Myria boards the shuttle and sits next to Theron.
[22:56] <13Megumi> <Megumi> The one I loved was the chains.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You can't think of her like that. The one you love is Erevis, and she's still inside there. Or are you just going to give up?!
15[22:56] * 13Chad`Winters begins entering the coordinates in so they can jump the second they get high enough.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves inside with Megumi, and Fiore helps Drasek in
15[22:57] * 13Chad`Winters glances back to make sure that's everyone
[22:57] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ... 6He moves to push himself to his feet. 1There's no point in me sitting here feeling bad about myself. 6He notes, despite his tone being one of a broken man. He moves in with Fiore.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> The fact she didn't kill us means she's still in there. She just needs our help.
[22:57] <13Megumi> 6Dawn steps back in, then sits down and hooks both datapads back into the shuttle, using the comm broadcast to reaccess the Erus infrastructure, hopefully backdoor still intact.
15[22:57] * 13Chad`Winters closes the ramp and lifts the shuttle off and brings it up and towards space.
15[22:58] * 13@Sammael watches Drasek slowly, an empathetic look on her face.
[22:58] <13Megumi> Or that perhaps the her that is here needs our help. We just do not know how.
15[22:58] * 13@Xanatos takes in a breath and lets it out. 1Hmmm.
[22:58] <13Myria> Ummm? *moves over to Dawn* What are you doing?
09[22:58] <13@Sammael> "Drasek..."
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi, frowning. "I don't care if the Erevis we know is fake, or chains. She loved all of us. She saved her life for ALL of us. And I'm going to bring her back."
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the others, then Megumi, looking like she desperately wants Megumi to fight for her
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers at the ground, not reacting to anyone.
15[22:59] * 13Chad`Winters doesn't say anything, knowing all too well Erevis' situation
[22:59] <13Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Myria, saying nothing. He usually doesn't. He goes back to working, but doesn't hide it from her-- going through local news, records and communications keywording progenitors, Ao, and Erevis, to see if she's doing anything truly in the open and/or trying to use the Erusian people.
15[22:59] * 13@Xanatos peers towards Zephyr, his eyes say that he's not giving up. But he doesn't say anything, for Megumi's sake.
[22:59] <13Myria> You know...I do have a password.
[23:00] <13Megumi> 6Dawn waves Myria off.
15[23:00] * 13@Sammael frowns and looks over at Zephyr. "...She is right. We need to do anything we can to help Erevis. Our Erevis. This Goddess must be stopped."
[23:00] <13Megumi> Durran.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi. "So will you fight for her? To bring her back? I can't do it without you. I'm not the one who made her smile every morning with a simple look. I'm the one who made her happy.
15[23:00] * 13Chad`Winters hits space and quickly enters hyperspace
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> *not
15[23:00] * 13@Xanatos peers towards Megumi, but lets Zephyr talk.
[23:00] <13Myria> Ummm...ok... *goes back to her seat*
[23:00] <13Megumi> ...I want Isis.
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> Of course. 6He stands up and moves to place her in Megumi's arms.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis seems tired from all her crying. She looks at Megumi
[23:02] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek shakes his head slowly at some internal thought.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore puts Drasek's hand in her lap
[23:03] <13Megumi> 6Megumi sits on the floor of the shuttle and brings her head down to touch her forehead to Isis', perfectly silent and calm.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad. "Do you think we can save her?" 6* She whispers.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis seems to relax finally and reaches up to grab Megumi's cheeks
[23:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances up slightly to Fiore. 1Think i'm pathetic, don't you luv?
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Iie.
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> We don't know until we try. And we'll try with everything we have.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, then speaks for everyone to hear. "You're right. And since one of them is giving us coordinates, it means there's something to save."
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits back, closing her eyes and promptly dozing off, exhausted
15[23:04] * 13Chad`Winters is glad somebody listened to him.
[23:04] <13Megumi> 6Megumi makes a face at Isis pulling on her cheeks.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis coos back at Megumi
[23:05] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek frowns and puts his forehead against her shoulder.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Must be careful. Fighting. Erevis. Pregnant. 6* She points out
15[23:05] * 13@Xanatos peers up and frowns. 1I hope using hyperspace won't hurt the baby.
15[23:05] * 13@Sammael looks away from everyone, growing quiet as something disturbs her thoughts.
[23:05] <13Megumi> ...We are both gambling with that.
15[23:06] * 13Megumi murmurs, not looking up from Isis, or bothering to clarify that she doesn't use hyperspace.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She glances at the hyperspace around them, closing her eyes for a silent prayer.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
