* Blackjack reverts and rushes to the girl's side
[Blackjack] My cousin's daughter!
[DeathStar] ....I hate to say, but you cousin must be...dead.
* DeathStar steps behind him
* Blackjack sighs
* Garland walks up
[Blackjack] I know... but at least Kelly is alive...
[Paladin] . . . shouldn't you ask the girl if she's seen him first?
* Blackjack kneels
* DeathStar shrugs and wiats for BJ to talk to her
[Blackjack] Kelly... where is your Daddy?
[Garland] .....*keeps replaying the car falling into the crack in his mind*
[Blackjack] Where is Wayne? Where is Anna?
* Darien runs up next to BJ
[Blackjack] [Kelly] He... he is dead... *sniffs*
[Blackjack] WHAT!?
* Garland looks at Kelly
[DeathStar] .....*walks along the road and notices a figure laying on the ground in the bushes*
* Paladin shrugs and turns to face down the road
[Blackjack] [Kelly] Glass from a window... shattered... went through his head... *cries*
* DeathStar walks over and sees it's a reploid, half his body torn away, barely alive
[Garland] NRP: how morbid are you BJ!?
[Blackjack] What about Anna!? Where is your mother?
[DeathStar] NRP: uhhhhh
[Blackjack] NRP: *points at DS*
[DeathStar] NRP: *whistles*
[Blackjack] [Kelly] I... I don't know... *sniff* I ran after seeing Daddy die...
[DeathStar] .....*walks away from it, knowing it's hopeless to help him*
* Garland sits on the ground
[DeathStar] We need to keep moving....someone needs to get her out of this...city  *Spits the word city out*
* Garland sighs and looks down
[Blackjack] I'll take care of her...
[Blackjack] I'll meet you guys back in a few minutes.

[Darien] DS, dan't we jus use a gig ranrote ship, dith danceporterS?
[DeathStar] That would never work, Darien...teleporting humans is a hard process.
[DeathStar] Some can't be, due to the fact it'll scramble their mind
[DeathStar] Some say WILY went insane like that.
* Paladin walks towards the subway
[Blackjack] Comm] Dea~~~ar, m~~~~ings~~~oo wet~~~be coming ba~~~~fferent w~~~~ut it'l~~~~ke a while.

[Garland] DeathStar! I'll teleport those two to the surface!
[DeathStar] He's out of it from shock
* DeathStar throws the last one at Garland
[DeathStar] Then go1
* Paladin grabs the driver
[Blackjack] Am I too late? *snickers*
[DeathStar] Yes!
* Darien tries extending the red Psi energy to lift him as well
* DeathStar is slamed into the train
[Blackjack] These cheap communicators, I swear...
* Garland teleports to the surface, and starts back doen to the subway

[DeathStar] FOUR hours...
*** Slash (Blayde22@sktnsk01d051701203.sk.sympatico.ca) has left #taw
[Blackjack] Four freaking hours.
[DeathStar] ....*Sits down* And we've saved less than fifty people
[Garland] And we saved only a few people....... *replays the car again and again*
[Paladin] Wouldn't it be worth it if we just saved one?
* Darien collapses to the ground, dead tired and bearly staying awake
[DeathStar] There's not much more we can do...maybe we should pull out?
* Paladin mutters 1,0And that one established universal peace . . .
[Blackjack] I guess so... but I still feel worthless... my cousin and his wife are dead... I've seen too many people die...
[Blackjack] NRP: That was a response to Paladin, not DS
* DeathStar wishes he had his comm.
* DeathStar sees the rain stop
[Garland] I couldn't even save that one person....
* Blackjack taps his communicator, hoping it still works
[Paladin] Wouldn't your concience bother you?
[DeathStar] If we pulled out?
[Paladin] If we left now, and we leave all those people to die?
* DeathStar nods and stands
[DeathStar] Lets keep going
[Paladin] knowing we could have done something?
[Blackjack] Paladin's right. We can't leave now.
* DeathStar truges through the streets, hunched over
[Blackjack] You ok, DS? Never mind, don't answer that...
* Garland stands there saying to himself "I can't do anything..... I proved thart today..."
* Darien stumples to his feet, sneazing now nearly more than he's breathing
* DeathStar glances at Darien
* Paladin takes his helmet back off and hangs it on his hip
[Blackjack] Somebody get that kid a handkerchief... damn...
[DeathStar] If we keep going, Darien might die.....one of us should get him out of here
[Blackjack] You have a point...
[Darien] Di'm fine
[DeathStar] Hardly.
[Blackjack] No, you're not, Darien.
[Paladin] He can get himself back to the Shuttle and warm up there
[Blackjack] People do die of colds, after all...
[Darien] Achoo
[DeathStar] Darien, pull out.  You've done all you can do
[Blackjack] Who wants to accompany him back?
* Garland stands there silently
[Blackjack] NRP: That sounded like something straight out of an RPG. You know, the question just before the character select screen comes up.
[Darien] 'An make it mydelf
[Blackjack] You sure, kid?
* DeathStar nods
* Darien begins shuffling toward the shuttle
[DeathStar] I know you can.  G'luck Darien
[Darien] Des
* Paladin shrugs, you risk your own
[Paladin] you risk your own
[DeathStar] ....Four of us now....
[Blackjack] You're thinking of giving up, aren't you...
* DeathStar walks along the streets, looking at the cracked buildings
* Garland follows
[DeathStar] There is no give up....there is nothing but do or do not do.
* Blackjack stays beside DS
[Blackjack] And in this case, the only option is "do." I'm not backing out, and neither are you.
* DeathStar keeps bleeding
[DeathStar] Aye.
* DeathStar sees some people ahead, laying in a building, hurt and bleeding
* Darien gets back to the Avenger and begins powering it up
[Blackjack] We might die, but hey, that's just part of the danger of being a Hunter, right...
[DeathStar] There.
[Blackjack] I see them...
[Garland] ....Me too.
* DeathStar runs over and sees some woman is lying on the glass, gutted worse than by a Maverick's sword
[DeathStar] .....
* Blackjack winces
[Blackjack] Let's... save who we can...
[DeathStar] She's still alive...
* Garland runs over there and sees her
[DeathStar] Woman: H-Help *Swallows* me
[Blackjack] We should've brought someone with medical skills with us, dammit...
* Garland has medical skills
[DeathStar] Jared...no one can treat that wound
[Blackjack] Not just for her...
[Blackjack] For everyone we've run across...
[DeathStar] It's cut through her stomach and digestive track...shattered her kidney and her liver has been slashed
* Blackjack winces again
* Garland sits next to the woman.
* Paladin whispers 1,0Put her out of her misery?
* DeathStar sees the other people stand up, looking dazed
[Blackjack] I just hope Wayne and Anna... went quickly...
[DeathStar] .......Paladin.....I-I...
* Garland holds her hand
[Paladin] What else is there to do?
[Blackjack] Paladin, how dare you
[Garland] T-there's nothing I can do.... Miss.....

[Blackjack] NRP: AAAH!
[DeathStar] NRP:?
* DeathStar the aftershock ends
[Blackjack] NRP: * DeathStar punches falling grass
[DeathStar] NRP: Ooops
* DeathStar sees the woman is still alive, screaming and whimpering
* Blackjack lowers his arms, which have been badly cut by the glass, blood staining his feathers
* Garland sits next to her, crying for the woman
* Blackjack shakes his head, hand tightening on the rifle on his back
[DeathStar] .....*steps outside the building and sits down on the curb*
[Paladin] Fine, let her bleed and writhe in agony in a way that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.  I have the stomach to let it happen.
[DeathStar] Woman: PLease...help me...
* Blackjack draws his rifle and pumps off two shots at Paladin
[Blackjack] SHUT UP, DAMN YOU!
[Garland] *crying* I wish I could..........
* Paladin falls, stunned
* Blackjack drops to his knees, dropping his rifle
* DeathStar a blast hits the woman, frying her
* Paladin looks at Blackjack for a long moment

* Garland listens to the man
* Paladin looks at the man to see his condition
[Paladin] NRP: How is the guy, gonna live?  Gonna die?
[DeathStar] GM: The man is still alive and will continue to live
* Garland turns away... a remourse that goes deeper than any action is in Garland's eyes
[Paladin] I'm sorry sir, they are dead.  There's no delicate way to put it, so I say it to you straight.
[DeathStar] Man: W-What!?
[DeathStar] Man: T-They can't be!!!  No!! GOD NO!!!!!

* DeathStar notices an abandoned baby below
[Paladin] Don't waste your life.

* Paladin shrugs and punches the man, trying to knock him out
* DeathStar the man is knocked out
[Paladin] Let's move these cars
