<Ire> Session 145: Air Time
<Ire> Time Chart: May 7th, 2223
<Ire> Location: Building 38
* Ire sits on the third floor office, flipping through intelligence reports.
* Dahok knocks on Ire's door
<Ire> Come in.
* Dahok steps into the office
* Ire turns his head slightly. His eyes narrow a bit and he quickly turns back to the report.
<Ire> Yes?
<Dahok> ...I'm ready to switch back...
<Ire> .... I see.
<Dahok> ...And I'm sorry for what I said about Tikal...
<Ire> I see. 6He stands, reaching over and picking up the device. "Silouette is asleep. Let us go into her room and do it.
<Dahok> ...Best time to do it, incase she decides to go otherwise.
* Ire walks downstairs to the second floor. He pulls out a key and uses it on Sil's door.
* Dahok follows behind Ire, not missing a solemn beat
* Ire opens the door. Silouette is on the bed, her eyes closed.
<Dahok> ...She's gonna be disapointed...
<Ire> She knew it was coming. Stand next to her.
* Dahok walks over to Sil's side
* Ire fiddles with the device. It makes weird sounds, as if it isn't working right. Ire shrugs, lifting it up at the two.
<Dahok> ...Sure you can operate that?...
* Ire hits a button and lightning arcs out, hitting both Sil and Dahok. Intense pain follows it, as if their worlds are ending, then Dahok falls to the floor. As he lays there, he can feel warmth returning, emotions opening, his heart beating.
* Dahok takes in a deep breath
* Dahok groans then pushes himself upto his knee
* Ire stands there, checking on Sil. Seems Sil slept through it all.
<Dahok> Gah...*grabs his head*
<Dahok> I can hear them again...*a look of happyness can be seen on his face*
* Ire glances at Dahok, then turns back to the device. He disables it and then breaks it.
* Dahok looks down at his crotch
<Dahok> I can feel it!!! *a small tear appears*
* Ire walks out of the room.
* Dahok stands up fully and walks out after Ire
<Garland> NRP: The sounds of a thousand smurfs writing in pain would put a happy look on my face, too.
<Ire> GM: *Jerry sits around, listening to a radio* Radio Announcer: And here we have Ayn Lyons LIVE at our very own Mega City Radio Station. Ayn: Hi, everyone! Radio Announcer: That's right! She'll be playing some lovely songs for us, but first, lets talk a little about you, Ayn.
<Dahok> ...*stops behind Jerry* What the hell is she doing here?
<Ire> Jerry: Performing, it seems.
<Dahok> If you can call it that.
* Ire stands there, eyeing the radio.
<Dahok> I bet she lipsinks...
* Ire grunts'
<Ire> <Ayn on Radio> This song goes out to someone special to me. 6She begins to sing.
<Dahok> I bet she sings about you Jerry! *pats him on the back*
<Ire> <Jerry> 6Beams. "You think so?"
<Dahok> ...No.
<Ire> <Jerry> Oh.
<Dahok> She was a coot anyways...
<Dahok> I hear Sil's got the hots for you tho.
<Ire> <Jerry> R-Really?
<Dahok> ...No I can't back that one up.
<Ire> 6* Suddenly, Ayn stops singing, a cry of surprise, then static. A few moments later, a harsh voice much like that of one crippled zombie nazi comes on. "I'm afraid this show has to be cut short, but I promise you, something better will be coming on in just a few moments. I hope a certain someone is hearing THIS."
* Ire spins towards the radio.
* Dahok looks at Ire's reaction
<Dahok> You know that voice?
<Ire> ....Senreich.
<Dahok> Oh....*pauses* Ohhhhhhh...
* Ire marches down the stairs.
<Dahok> ...Great with just us two this ain't gonna be easy...*follows after Ire*
*** Alicia is now known as Terra`
* Ire throws open the front door, moving outside. He glances up at the sun.
<Dahok> NRP: Ire: Ahhh, the sun...the sun!! *hisses and covers his face*
* Ire glances to the van, then pauses, grabbing a comm. He talks in a low voice.
* Terra` heads over, noticing the two. "What's goin' on?"
<Dahok> GAHHH!! *jumps off his feet as Terras speaks*
* Terra` blinks. "I'm that scary?"
<Dahok> ...No you surprised me...*looks at Ire* We taking the van or somethign else?
* Ire pulls his comm. away from his ear, looking at Terra and Dahok. His eyes are slanted, then he points upward.
* Dahok nods and waits
<Ire> GM: *overhead a shuttle flies by, circling around before landing in the yard. A pilot waves to them*
* Terra` looks up.
* Dahok begins moving over to the shuttle
* Ire grabs the edge of the shuttle and pulls himself on.
* Terra` climbs aboard
<Ire> You know where to go. Go.
<Ire> <Pilot> Roger. 6He grabs the controls, lifting the shuttle upward and flying over the city.
<Dahok> Think Seinrich is trying to draw us out or out for revenge against all Brits?
<Terra`> As long as he dies, I don't care.
<Ire> ... He always has some motivation. 6Leans against the side of the shuttle, not caring the door is open. He looks down at the streets.
<Dahok> But we need an arch-rival, if he dies then we have no job.
<Dahok> ...There's something I don't understand Ire.
* Ire glances at Dahok.
<Dahok> He's the leader of 5th Column and the ruler of the British Zone...If he's takin out they'll be temporarily morally at a loss. To expose himself like this where he can get killed is dangerous.
<Ire> GM: 6Below, the radio station can be seen. The shuttle begins to go around in circles.
<Ire> If he has the Spear of Longinus with him, then we might not be able to hurt him.
<Terra`> ... shit.
<Dahok> Everythings has it's weakness, we just need to find it.
<Dahok> NRP: Like the blood of a virgin mother...Now where can we find one of those...
* Ire leans out over the side as the shuttle begins to lower toward the roof. Suddenly, something rams the shuttle
* Ire stumbles forward, going over the side. He grabs the edge of the shuttle.
* Dahok loses his balance and flies forward against a wall
*** Kim[AWAY] is now known as Silouette
<Ire> GM: *a Chiere Nazi rips open a wall of the shuttle, standing there*
* Terra` points her gun at it
* Dahok looks back at the Chiere Nazi
<Dahok> ...*Waves*
* Ire hangs as the shuttle spins around in circles.
<Ire> GM: *the Chiere steps in*
* Dahok plants his foot against wall of the shuttle and shoves himself off towards the Chiere his hands out ot grapple him
<Silouette> *from the back* ....who invited that?
<Ire> <Chiere> ... 6Grabs Dahok by the neck with his massive hand. He then slams him into the ground.
<Terra`> ... Sil? How did you get in without...? Nevermind.
<Ire> <Pilot> The shuttle ... it can't take much more of this ... I'm losing control. Oh dear Goooood!
<Dahok> ...*Coughs and looks at Sil* Hey..Sil..
* Dahok flips his lower half up and plants his feet against the Chiere's throat and pushes up against it
* Ire looks around, his grip slipping as the shuttle pivots back and forth.
* Terra` waits 'til she has a clear shot and shoots at the Chiere
*** Garland has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Terra`> NRP: Wrong Chiere. Oops.
<Ire> 6* The Chiere goes out of the shuttle. Moments later, he flies back into the shuttle.
<Dahok> NRP: Noo..I think you got the right one.
* Dahok takes in a deep breath of air
<Dahok> Thanks...Terra.
*** Garland has joined #taw
<Terra`> Back for more? *keeps shooting at the damn flying nazi*
<Terra`> NRP: <Flying nazi> No flight for you!
<Ire> 6* The Chiere punches the shuttle's floor, causing a massive hole. Then he punches the wall, causing more damage. As the shots come, the Chiere grabs the pilot, bringing him into the path of the shots. The pilot dies quickly.
<Terra`> ... BASTARD!
<Ire> 6* The shuttle, now without a pilot, begins to spin out of control, falling toward the ground.
<Dahok> Son of a...*leaps towards the frotn and grabs the controls*
* Terra` grabs the controls, hoping to avoid a crash
* Dahok looks over at Dahok
<Ire> 6* Terra and Dahok collide!
<Dahok> NRP: terra.
<Dahok> Can you fly?
<Terra`> Sure
* Silouette moves in, in an attempt to skewer the Chiere on her blade.
<Terra`> Just deal with the Chiere, I'll handle the flying!
<Ire> 6* The Chiere gets stabbed, red blood mixed with silver running down his arm.
<Dahok> Good, cuz I can't. *leaps back and squares off against the Chiere*
* Ire swings back and forth as the shuttle flips around, coming toward the busy streets.
* Dahok rams against the side of the Chiere in an attempt to cause the sword to slice through his side
* Terra` pulls up, at least enough to NOT crash into anything
<Terra`> NRP: * Dahok's side gets sliced
<Ire> 6* The Chiere is rammed through the shuttle wall, causing another hole.
<Ire> 6* The shuttle flies dangerously close to the cars, but Terra manages to avoid an impact. Behind them, the radio tower is getting further away.
<Dahok> NRP: But did the katana slice through his side or not?
<Silouette> .....you know the resale value on this will suck.
<Ire> NRP: It hit his arm, so his side was safe no matter what.
<Dahok> NRP: Ahhh...didn't say where.
<Ire> 6* The Chiere flies back in, ripping out the katana and throwing it down to the street.
<Silouette> NRP: Actually... Silouette uses a Ninjato =P
<Ire> NRP: Right. That.
* Dahok slides to the side Ire's hanging on and reaches his hand out to him
<Silouette> ...... that... was my good blade.
* Ire isn't there!
<Ire> 6* The Chiere goes for Terra.
* Silouette grabs the wounded arm, going to give the Chiere the shock treatment
* Terra` is just about to head back for the tower, but instead has to deal with the Chiere
* Terra` tries to pilot with one hand, while shooting with the other
* Ire comes up behind the Chiere, having crawled under the shuttle. He holds the ninjato and stabs it through the Chiere's back.
* Terra` takes great care not to shoot anyone who ISN'T the Chiere
<Dahok> ...*Grabs the back of the Chiere's head and pulls it back, helping Ire skewer the Chiere*
<Ire> 6* The chiere stands there, and with the combined efforts, dies painfully.
<Terra`> Woohoo! Now, back to the tower?
<Ire> Yes.
* Ire rips the blade out, handing it over to Sil.
* Terra` starts off back towards the tower, now that the threat's been dealt with
* Silouette nods in thanks to Ire as she takes the blade, and cleans it on the Chiere's clothes.
* Dahok looks at the mix of red and silver blood
<Dahok> What's their blood made out of?
<Ire> Human and Chiere DNA mixed.
<Terra`> Could be worse.
<Dahok> ...*looks a the silver* Is this...metal?
<Ire> Probably.
<Silouette> ...Mercury.
<Dahok> ...Is Mercury magnetic?
<Ire> 6* The shuttle shakily returns to the roof of the radio tower.
<Silouette> ...no.
<Dahok> Conductive?
<Silouette> ...yes.
<Terra`> Yeah. It's also poisonous, so be careful
<Dahok> Then they should be very weak against your shock gauntlet.
* Ire hops off the shuttle onto the roof.
* Silouette glances to Ire, then looks back to the others and shrugs.
* Silouette follows after.
* Terra` looks for a place to land the shuttle, unless it hovers.
* Dahok hops out after Sil
<Ire> 6* The shuttle can land on the roof.
* Terra` lands the shuttle on the roof, then hops out after Dahok
<Ire> 6* Suddenly, twenty Chiere explode out of the roof, hovering there. Two of them hold a Nazi flag.
* Ire steps back, grimacing.
<Terra`> ... what's with all the Chiere?!
* Dahok mouth drops
*** Garland is now known as Junior
<Terra`> ... dammit... we're really outnumbered now...
* Junior runs across the remains of the roof, lunging forward firing his pistols akimbo at the Chiere.
<Dahok> ...*looks at Jr. appear out of no where*
* Ire stares, shock evident on his face.
* Terra` shoots one of the Chiere in the chaos
* Junior hits the ground and rolls, pulling out a small control. He presses a button, activating the electric charges in the bullets.
<Ire> 6* The Chiere, momentarily confused, begin to fall one by one to Junior and Terra's onslaught.
<Silouette> .....oh look, another one..
<Ire> 6* One by one, they go down as electricity runs through their bodies. After a moment, none are left.
* Junior stands, turning to the others.
* Ire stands there, glancing at Junior.
<Junior> I should stop trying to visit, it always seems to get you in trouble.
<Terra`> Who's that?
<Ire> ...Junior. 6He says momentarily.
* Junior tosses a clip to Ire.
<Dahok> ...*looks at Jr.* Look at who decided to come back from his busy schedule.
<Terra`> Well, nice to meet you, anyway.
<Junior> Ire.
* Ire catches the clip, turning.
* Junior nods to Terra. "A pleasure."
<Ire> I take it your planet is going well, if you're here.
<Junior> Yes, they don't need me as a guiding hand, after all.
<Dahok> They're not the only ones.
* Ire switches clips in his gun.
<Ire> So why are you here...?
<Junior> It was supposed to be a recreational visit, then I picked up the commotion on the radio.
<Dahok> You were just bored out of your mind weren't you.
* Junior looks back to Dahok.
<Junior> You could say that, I suppose.
* Dahok waves at Jr.
<Silouette> ....trouble brings trouble, as they say.
* Ire steps up to a hole made one of the Chiere, crouching low.
* Dahok begins walking towards the hole the Chiere made
* Ire drops in, landing inside an empty studio
<Dahok> Only one way to go...*drops down, landing beside Ire*
* Junior glances to Ire going in.
<Junior> Not back two minutes and I'm already plunged back into the thick of it...
* Junior follows Dahok.
* Silouette drops down, landing low, with one hand on her blade as she expects trouble.
* Terra` follows Sil down, landing surprisingly quietly
*** Sherin-Gone is now known as Sherinmir
* Dahok sniffs the air, his eyes scanning around
* Ire stands, holding his handgun up.
<Ire> Dahok, Terra, Sil, you search the door on the right. Junior and I will go left.
* Ire paces across the studio to the leftward door.
* Junior holds his pistol at his side, he nods to Ire and follows.
<Terra`> Got it. *starts to the rightward door*
<Dahok> ...*eyes narrow then he turns and walks towards the rightwardes door*
* Silouette nods and starts for the door.
* Ire opens his door and moves into a hallway. It seems empty.
<Junior> It's good to see you keep busy. *he says flatly, scanning the room with his eyes*
<Ire> Freeing Earth wasn't going to be a simple matter.
* Terra` opens the door, since no-one else has
<Ire> 6* A Chiere dives at Terra, going for her throat.
* Dahok punches past Terra's head towards the Chiere's face
<Junior> No one said it would be. Dealing with that sex-starved "president" wasn't much easier, though.
* Silouette follows up Dahok's punch by bringing her sword down towards the Chiere's throat.
<Ire> 6* The Chiere is punched back, then stabbed. He dies.
* Terra` keeps her gun ready in future
<Dahok> NRP: Slasher is not sex-starved! If anything he's sex saturated.
<Silouette> NRP: He's talking about Sera.
<Junior> NRP: Indeed.
<Ire> Well, she seemed to want you because of your of what your father did.
* Dahok looks back at and Sil and nods
<Dahok> NRP: Well then..yeah
* Ire presses his back against the wall, spying another room.
<Terra`> Thanks for the save.
* Silouette nods, and steps inside, scouting the area.
<Junior> Don't remind me. *moves to the opposite wall, cocking his gun*
<Ire> 6* They are in another hallway, this one leading to a cafeteria.
* Ire stops by the door, opening it. He steps in, seeing it's a studio.
* Terra` heads for the cafe, then
* Dahok slides in behind Sil and Terra'
<Ire> The team could use someone like you. 6He says offhandedly.
<Dahok> NRP: Dahok: He doesn't speak for the team.
<Ire> 6* As the three enter the cafeteria, an electric shield goes up.
* Ire paces around the studio, keeping his gun ready.
<Silouette> ......
<Dahok> ...Ah shit.
<Terra`> What was that?
<Junior> You're doing fine. *holds his pistol one handed, waving it side to side slowly as his eyes dart around*
<Ire> 6* Tap. Tap. Tap. A figure appears in the door way, resting on a cane. His skin is peeling and burnt, with red goggles on his eyes. With no hair, he looks like he's a corpse. And his name is Senreich.
<Silouette> .........
* Dahok looks over at Senreich
<Terra`> ... *knows there's no point, since she probably can't hit him, but points her gun at Seinreich anyway*
<Dahok> If it isn't the pied piper.
<Ire> <Senreich> You were expected.
* Ire pauses, seeing it's a dead-end.
<Ire> We should head back.
<Silouette> ....I'd be disappointed if we weren't.
<Terra`> ... nice reception..
* Junior sniffs the air.
<Junior> Something stinks... like rotting flesh. *face contorts slightly*
<Ire> ..Senreich.
<Ire> 6* Senreich gestures and two Chiere carry out the limp body of Ayn Lyons.
* Junior glances to Ire and starts jogging back the other way.
<Silouette> .........
* Ire follows Junior. After a bit, they arrive on the other side of an electric shield.
<Dahok> *looks at her* So?
<Terra`> ... .oO(Were we too late?)
<Ire> 6* Senreich stares at Dahok through the goggles. "Your lack of concern is interesting." 6He paces around, his cane tapping along the floor.
<Junior> An electic field.
* Ire nods.
<Dahok> You make it sound like I should amazed that you bested her.
* Junior raises his gun to the field, firing an electric round into it.
<Ire> 6* Nothing happens.
<Junior> It was worth a try. *glances to Ire quickly* Ideas?
<Terra`> *to Dahok* I guess you're not one for pop music?
<Ire> <Senreich> I felt it was necessary to visit Miss. Lyons, since she killed my dear Olga. That was upsetting. 6He gestures and the Chiere drop her
<Ire> We need to subvert the electric currents.
<Dahok> Hardly...I prefer Tribal music.
<Junior> Easier said... I'll look for the source.
<Terra`> I like Ayn even more, now.
<Dahok> If she wouldn't have one of us would've.
<Ire> Nothing in the station could power it. IT would have to be---
* Ire looks up at the roof.
* Silouette stays silent.
<Ire> An amplifier could have been put on the radio tower.
* Dahok walks upto the elecrtic field so he's facing Senreich
<Junior> I'm on it.
<Ire> <Senreich> While it displeases me to kill such worthy opponents, I can no longer have you in the way.
* Junior leaps up, jumping off the wall.
<Ire> 6* Fifteen Chiere pile into the room before Dahok, Terra, and Siloutte.
<Dahok> You've got some balls waltzing into the middle of MegaCity, surrounding yourself with an entire zone that despises you..
<Ire> 6* Senreich turns, walking out the back of the room and out of sight
* Silouette draws her sword, charging the blade with electricity.
<Dahok> ...*turns around to see teh Chiere
<Dahok> ...Try to knock them into the electric field...
* Junior flicks on his sabre, looking around the area.
<Terra`> Eh, he'll die soon enough, worry about the Chiere now!
* Terra` shoots at the nearest Chiere
<Ire> 6* The Chiere divide themselves into three groups of five, each leaping at their respected target.
<Ire> 6* A device can be seen on the tower, blinking green.
* Dahok waits for the last second and rolls to the side in hopes of having some of the chiere leap into the elecrtric field*
<Ire> 6* The Chiere roll and pull out guns, firing at Dahok with plasma shots.
* Junior prods it with an ignighted sabre.
* Terra` keeps firing, leaping over the Chiere
<Ire> 6* The sabre starts to burn a hole.
* Dahok plants his hands, catapulting himself into the air and over the plasma shots
* Terra` makes sure not to touch the field herself
<Ire> 6* Two Chiere tackle Terra in mid-air, while another one punches her in the stomach.
<Ire> 6* Four Chiere throw punches at Sil as one fires his gun at her.

<Dahok> ..Friggin cowards without pride...
<Ire> 6* Four Chiere leap up at Dahok, trying to grab him.
* Silouette darts forward as the Chiere leap in, targeting one and slashing with her shock blade as she trys to dart past
<Terra`> ... shit.. *winces, kicking one of the chiere, and trying to shoot the other*
<Ire> 6* Suddenly a Chiere flies up behind Junior. He's massively huge compared to anyone so far. He throws a punch
* Junior leaps into the air, flipping acrobatically to the side.
<Ire> 6* One of Terra's Chiere is shot in the head and dies. One of sil's Chiere is zapped and falls down.
* Dahok growls, his arms igniting ablaze
<Ire> 6* Gtabbing Dahok in mid-air, they slam him into the ground.
<Junior> I hope you're not the talkative type, I don't want to hear any one-liners.
* Junior narrows his eyes.
* Dahok tries to kick his leg against the field in an attempt to use his body as a conductor and electrocute the 4 chiere
* Terra` climbs to her feet, and keeps firing at the Chiere attacking her
<Ire> 6* One punches at Terra from behind.
<Ire> 6* The four Chiere are barely zapped.
<Ire> <Big Chiere> ... 6Tries to grapple Junior.
<Dahok> Gahh....*pulls his foot back and struggles to free one of his hands*
* Junior spins his sabre at BC.
* Silouette moves down low, putting all her weight into changing her direction as she rolls backwards and twists to her knees, throwing a trio of charged shurikens at the Chiere with the gun
<Ire> 6* Dahok is thrown across the room, with plasma shots following.
<Junior> .oO(There's no way I can beat this guy in a fist brawl... I can't let him hit me.)

* Ire drops his head and shakes it.
* Silouette lowers her head.

<Ire> 6* Suddenly, the building trembles as if hit by something hard. Like a bomb went off. The entire building begins to shake.
<Junior> Is she?
<Dahok> ...She alive?
* Ire glances up.
<Ire> She seems to be in a near-death like state from some poison.
<Ire> 6* The building trembles again, then begins to fall. It seems clear this building is about to be destroyed.
* Silouette glances to Junior, since he's the strongest here.
<Terra`> ... Is this some sort of irony? Everyone keeps blowing stuff up, and it's not me!
* Junior steps over and puts her over his shoulder. "Let's go." he turns and leaps towards escape.
* Ire climbs up onto the roof himself through one of the many holes.
<Dahok> NRP: LAME!
* Terra` heads for the shuttle
* Silouette nods and hurries to the roof, using the quickest known route

* Dahok looks up at Jr. and takes his hand
* Junior helps pull him in.
* Ire examines Ayn, holding a datapad to do scans.
<Terra`> I *REALLY* hate Nazis.
<Dahok> NRP: DAhok: HAH! *pulls Jr. out*
<Ire> ....it's an unknown poison. Must have been engineered. ... there's no cure in the database.
<Dahok> Thanks...*squats down and takes in a deep breath...pain shooting through his shoulders*
* Junior nods to Dahok and heads over to Ire.
<Junior> Do you have a chemical composition?
*** Christopher_Xanatos has joined #taw
<Terra`> Can't someone engineer a cure?
* Ire shakes his head.
*** Christopher_Xanatos is now known as Phirax
<Dahok> ...Sil...I need you to tug very hard on my arms.
<Silouette> ....what?
<Ire> It's mutating constantly. ...chances are, by the time we locked onto a state, it would change it.
<Ire> 6* The shuttle comm. beeps.
<Dahok> Dislocated both my shoulders when I rammed those two Chieres...I need you to put them back in place.
<Junior> Well, considering, I'd say that meat-bag made it. Though I doubt he made it just for Ayn, though.
<Ire> ...chances are she is just a test subject.
<Junior> But why make a poison for Chiere?
<Ire> ...I don't know.
* Dahok painfully reaches his left arm out to Sil
<Junior> It's his army that'd be susceptible to it.
<Ire> 6* The comm. beeps again.
<Junior> Someone should answer that...
* Silouette helps relocate Dahok's arms.
<Dahok> GAHHHH....
* Ire stands, moving over to the comm. He taps a button, to put it on speaker.
<Dahok> ...*clenches his face* Thanks...
<Terra`> To get rid of them if things turn bad?
<Ire> <McCabe> -rgent! We have an urgent situation here. Where are you guys?
<Dahok> NRP :BRB:
<Junior> What is it
<Junior> ?
<Ire> What happened, McCabe?
<Terra`> ... well, we fell for that like fools... this whole thing was a distraction.
<Ire> <McCabe> A group of super-soldiers hit one of our major military bases just 15 minutes. I don't think there's anything left of it.
<Ire> NRP: 15 agos.
<Ire> nRP: 15 mins ago. HAH
<Junior> Just fifteen?
* Junior looks to Ire.
* Ire turns to Terra.
<Ire> Head for the base.
<Junior> Super-soldiers?
<Ire> The Chiere, I imagine.
<Junior> There's nothing super about the ones you all just handled.
<Ire> Perhaps Senreich has gotten better and we faced the weaker ones.
<Silouette> *flatly* .....maybe we're just badass?
<Dahok> ...You mean there's thicker ones?
* Junior looks at Sil for a moment.
* Ire taps Terra.
<Ire> To the base, I said.
* Silouette shrugs slightly.
<Junior> This troubles me.
* Ire eyes the tuned-out Terra, then grabs the co-pilot controls and flies himself.
<Junior> McCabe, do you know how many soldiers there were?
<Ire> <McCabe> Hold.
<Dahok> Hold? Is that spanish for 8?
<Ire> 6* A long pause ensures. Then McCabe spits out something in disbelief. "Cameras show only 10."
<Junior> ...
<Junior> How fortified was this base?
* Ire flies the shuttle over the base. Down below the entire military base in in flames. The dead can be seen laying about, their burnt corpses smoking. Five guard towers have been reduced to nothing. The eight main hangers are smashed.
* Junior looks down at the ruins from the window.
<Ire> <McCabe> It wasn't our main focus. Slasher was working at another location for his war plans. But the loss of that base hurts any massive army operations we might have.
<Junior> Ire, I hate to say it, but I think we need John.
<Dahok> ...We not good enough Jr?
* Ire eyes Ire.
<Ire> NRP: Eyes Junior
<Junior> Ten soldiers destroyed an entire military base, that's 90 seconds apiece.
* Junior looks to Dahok.
<Junior> You tell me.
<Ire> Snipe is on some vendetta in space. We're what's here as defense, we'll deal with the 5th Column.
<Dahok> Surprise attack Jr...they had the advantage.
<Dahok> Of ypi dpm
<Ire> Slasher will come up with some weapon to neutralize them.
<Dahok> If you don't think we can win then elave.
<Dahok> NRP: leave.
* Ire tilts the shuttle to head back home.
* Junior glances to Dahok. "You don't want me here, do you?"
<Dahok> Not if you're going to be a wuss about things.
* Junior glances to Ire as though he's going to say something and then turns back to Dahok.
<Dahok> We can use all the help we can get.
<Dahok> But we don't need people second guessing their teammates abilities.
<Junior> Then you need to learn how to accept it, rather than calling a suggestion "wussing out."
<Junior> Think before you speak, Dahok.
* Dahok scoffs at Jr.s remark
* Junior looks at him.
* Ire lands the shuttle next to Building 38. It then falls apart.
* Junior turns and steps off of the shuttle as the door opens.
* Dahok watches Jr. leave then steps off and walks towards the edge of the building
<Ire> NRP: ... the edge of the building when we're in the yard?
<Dahok> NRP: Ahh next..read it wrong.
<Dahok> NRP: But edge could be seen as wall so nyah!
* Ire steps out. He frowns, standing there. He crosses his arms.
* Junior stands outside the shuttle.
* Phirax steps out the door looking quite perplexed.
* Junior glances to Ire. "He hasn't changed much."
* Silouette gets Ayn and steps out.
<Phirax> Where the hell have you all been?
* Ire shakes his head in an indication that Junior is right.
* Dahok walks over to a patch of worn out grass and sits down next to it, he looks over a plant that sits in a pot and cups his hands around it
<Phirax> .oO( I knew I shouldn't have fallen asleep earlier...)
<Ire> We've spent enough time in the city. Slasher told me when I thought it was time to begin operations against the 5th Column and Janus, that I begin. Well, I think it's time we started against the 5th Column.
<Junior> Where is the Altros?
* Ire tilts his head to Junior.
<Ire> Slasher has it. I think some of the parts were used to repair the Aquarius.
* Junior seems disappointed.
<Ire> But what I have planned, we won't be using Altros.
<Ire> We only have two things to use against the 5th Column now that our troops have been destroyed. Our team...and whatever weapons Slasher can build for us.
<Junior> I'm more upset about the jacket I left on it, really. Slasher no doubt snatched it.
* Phirax rubs his head.
<Phirax> Ummm sorry for not waking up for the mission sir.
* Ire turns to Junior.
<Ire> I'm going to take a few pages from your style book.
* Dahok tries desperately to find the plants real voice
* Junior looks to Ire.
<Junior> How do you mean?
<Ire> We're going to inflitrate London and set up a resistance group in there to help us fight the 5th Column. We can't win in a direct fight, so we lead a revolt.
<Junior> Feasible.
<Terra`> Heh, I love that idea!
<Junior> I don't want a war of attrition to occur, though.
* Dahok a look of determination appears on his face as he muscles tense in an attempt to push away the background noise
<Ire> You're free to stay or go, Junior. As always, your help would be appreciated. 6Nods, then walks into the building.
* Phirax backs up and makes his way toward the building.
<Junior> I'll need maps of England.
* Junior follows Ire.
* Silouette takes their victimized singer to the base, since it must be better than just leaving her as is.
<Ire> Done.
<Ire> 6* Some doctors later come to get Ayn from Silouette.
<Terra`> Hey, what sort of weapons do you think Slasher can make?
<Ire> We'll have to see.
