* Slash^ powers his scyths up
* Blackjack gets up, rubbing the back of his head. "What's that, DS?"
[DeathStar] Okay, I didn't tell you this, but I have had spies tracking a Reploid Scientist named Palanx...
[Blackjack] Palanx? Weird name.
[DeathStar] He's a MAVERICK Reploid
[Slash^] whoa!
[DeathStar] Working directly under the command of Sigma.
[Slash^] Sigma.. theres a name i havent heard in a long time..
[Blackjack] First Crucifixtion, now this guy... Who next?
[Cross] That doesn't sound good...
* Garland works on an sheet or origami
[DeathStar] It seems Sigma believes there's great power in some....Dimensional travel.  Of course, it's impossible.
* Slash^ inhales sharply
[Slash^] ....
[Garland] Where's Mr. Wiendi---errr... Where's Wiendigo?
[Blackjack] Yeah! How could anyone travel over dimensions? We're not even sure that there are any other dimensions...
[DeathStar] But, EarthGov is getting worried about it.  BIG time.  So, we're heading to the desert where Palanx's base is.  So far, all my spies haven't reported in.  I fear they may be cpatured...or worse...
[Cross] Uh, yeah, impossible *Runs over some schematics on the comp*
[Blackjack] It's just as impossible as time travel...
[Slash^] if he could, imagine what we would be up against..
[DeathStar] Well, I learned to EXCEPT the Impossible
[Garland] Um.... I guess he's doing weindigo stuff? *sheepish look* I'll shut up now.
[DeathStar] EXPECT
[Slash^] aint it the truth..
[DeathStar] Lets head to the shuttles.  You guys got 5 minutes to get your affairs in order

[DeathStar] ...And?

[Garland] Should I stop using "Mr." for every one?
[DeathStar] Mr. Garland, that would be nice...
[Blackjack] Doesn't matter to me, Garland.
[DeathStar] EST....4 minutes
[Cross] If he does have dimension jumping capability, well, it could be very bad in a big way, it could lead to massive energy weapons, based on riping time and space apart ....
[Blackjack] It makes me feel old, though. Just call me Blackjack.
[Garland] ...... I'm old enough to know when I'm beign mocked Commander Star
[DeathStar] Sorry, Ensign..
* DeathStar tries to ignore what Cross said
* Garland kicks at the air
* DeathStar begins to enter Earth's gravity and heads for the desert, the shuttle rocking

* DeathStar vents in the floor appear and the fire falls down
[Slash^] get your grubby mitts off me!
* Blackjack looks at Slash, aims his rifle, and fires Cure Ray at him (90 LP)
* Slash^ jumps back off of Cross
[Slash^] thanks BJ, i needed that..
* DeathStar shakes head and opens the door and steps into a room with a staircase bending upward
* DeathStar looks up
[Cross] Well you looked like you where about to die and didn't want you to get left behind !!
* Blackjack spins his rifle. "Anytime."
[DeathStar] IT leads up to the tower that we saw on the big building...looks like this place ISN'T connected to the big building
[Blackjack] I hope these don't go like the elevator...
[Slash^] ..
* DeathStar glances upward
[DeathStar] Soooo, who wants to run up the stairs first?
[Blackjack] Great. So if we took the tower, we'd be a helluva lot better off...
[Slash^] i guess i will
[Blackjack] How about one of you Reploids going first? YOu'd be more likely to survive the fall...
[DeathStar] No, we took the right one.  The TOWER isn't connected
[DeathStar] No you won't Slash
* Slash^ hobbles up the stairs
[DeathStar] I'll go
[Blackjack] Oh, misunderstood you.
* Slash^ lets DS pass him
[Slash^] Take this DS
* Slash^ tosses one of his warp blades at DS
* Blackjack hesitantly starts walking up the steps
[Cross] NRP: I hope that ment to him, not at him :P
* DeathStar grabs it
[DeathStar] Thanks
* Cross follows along
* DeathStar runs up the stairs quickly
* DeathStar poisoned arrows fly out of the walls behind him as he moves in Blitz speed
* Blackjack shakes his head and starts sprinting up the stairs
* Slash^ follows as fast as he can go with his cannons online and his weapons armed
* DeathStar begins to climb higher and higher
* Slash^ follows
* DeathStar blocks a pair of spikes coming from the roof of the stairs above him with the warp blade
[Blackjack] *looks up* Whoa! Glad those were fired before I got up there...
* DeathStar crawls under them and quickly continues up
* Blackjack continues upwards, meeting virtually no opposition
[Slash^] ack..
* Slash^ follows closely behind BJ
* DeathStar suddenly the stairs begin to crumble in front of him, causing him to leap over them
[DeathStar] Half-way up...
[Slash^] Crap..
[Slash^] DS! Wait up, lets see if i cant make this quicker
