* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20040402.log'
<Kimera> =BOOM=
<Dias> Look, Kim's here!
<Snipe> Session 164: Going Where No Man Has Gone Before
<Snipe> Time Chart: July 5th, 2223
<Snipe> Location: Aquarius - Still in Hyperspace in route to the Unknown Regions
*** Kimera is now known as Ariel
* Snipe throws a quick punch at Cole in the training room, aiming to smash it against Cole's jaw.
* Colephantus leans back raiseing his arms to flip back out of harms way.
*** Garland is now known as Stark
<Colephantus> NRP: SHit Shit gotta pee.
* Snipe dashes forward, appearing to the side of Cole, grabbing his arm and pivoting the reploid over his head and onto the ground hard.
<Snipe> We've been doing this routine for two months - you need to start catching out.
*** Katrina` has joined #taw
<Stark> Sardis: *stands on the bridge, tending to his duties*
* Dias watches the two, a datapad sitting infront of him
* Colephantus slowly gets to his feet.
* Katrina` sits on the bridge where she has been for the last few months, working on analyzing all the Motenk battle data they collected when the Motenks attacked. She hasn't seen Sardis in many months, despite the two being on the same ship, and today for the first time she sees Sardis on the bridge. But, oddly, she pays him no mind, focused entirely on her work.
<Colephantus> I still don't fully grasp the concept.
* Snipe steps back, looking at Dias.
<Snipe> How's the Gear training going?
* Colephantus rubs the back of his head.
* Dias looks up at Snipe, his fingers still going on the dataad
* Ariel hasn't been seen around as much, spending alot more time in her quarters lately
<Colephantus> Man you two are beating the hell outta me.
<Stark> Sardis: *glances at Katrina, holding up his datapad and tacking the stylus on the screen to check something off. He steps out.*
* Snipe looks at Cole.
<Snipe> Because it's up to you guys to save the universe.
<Dias> He's doing ok but...
<Snipe> But what?
<Colephantus> I still need practice....
<Dias> Well there's always a but.
<Dias> A person can always do better, even I can do better.
<Snipe> Do you want him for Gear training? I've been knocking him around for the last two hours.
* Colephantus sighs.
<Colephantus> Only two hours!? Man it felt like 2 days.
<Dias> ...Let him take a small break. A broken soldier doesn't take in lessons as well as a rested one.
<Snipe> Alright. 6He glances toward Colephantus, sighing.
* Colephantus smirks and sets down on the floor.
<Dias> ...Are you bored now Snipe?
* Dias taps several more times on his datapad
<Snipe> ...No. 6Steps away, crossing his arms. 1"Outside of Cole, we haven't been seeing anyone else lately. I mean, I see Em and Hotaru, but they're not here for training. Where is everyone else? This ship is only so big."
* Colephantus stretches his arms and lays bakc on the floor.
<Dias> Looks like Cole's been spreading rumors about how rough we are.
* Stark appears in the training room.
* Snipe ruffles his red hair, picking his glasses up from a chair. He looks at Stark, raising his eyebrow
<Snipe> Now here's a face I haven't seen in three months.
* Colephantus smirks at Dias' remark.
* Dias looks up and over at Stark
* Colephantus then gets to his feet.
<Stark> I've been more than occupied with other matters.
<Snipe> I won't ask. I just hope you haven't turned a section of the ship into a voodoo parlor.
<Dias> Then why did you join us if you were going to be occupied?
* Stark leans on his walking stick.
* Stark doesn't turn his head to Dias but responds, "My business was pertinent to our common goals."
* Colephantus arches an eyebrow
* Colephantus walks up beside Dias.
<Colephantus> Whos this?
<Snipe> Dias - he's a witch doctor. He probably can do more for us in his room than he can fighting side by side.
<Dias> Well as long as he's not poking things into a wax doll of me...
<Stark> Wax is so mundane.
* Stark turns his head to Dias.
* Colephantus looks at the three.
*** `Em has joined #taw
<Snipe> Though I am curious about one thing, Stark.
<Colephantus> ....Alright Dias....i'm ready to train some more.
<Dias> *turns to Cole* That there is Stark Harlequin, a voodoo expert.
* `Em steps into the training room, though, staying back near the wall
* Colephantus nods.
* Stark turns back to Snipe.
<Snipe> What were you doing on the ship when Lunarius was destroyed?
<Dias> NRP: Nice...Em
<`Em> NRP: What?
<Dias> MRP: The name that's it.
* Stark quirks his brow. "Means to an end."
<Snipe> Hm. That Ire guy said you were useful, but I really can't make sense of you.
<Stark> Would you have me leave?
<Dias> How quick do you think you're reflexes have become since Snipe's been training with you?
<`Em> Well, here I was worried that I might get hit by a stray attack, but this looks more like the gossip room today.
<Snipe> Nowhere for you to go, I'm afraid. After spending the last two months on Hyperspace, we're in the middle of nowhere.
* Snipe turns, looking at Em.
<Snipe> Em.
* Dias picks up a ball from Snipe's training and tosses it at Em
* Colephantus shrugs. "Only one way to find out..."
<Stark> Interesting. *he starts for the door*
<Snipe> Hey, Stark.
<Dias> I ask this because by now you should realize that every second you spend with him, helps you with me.
* Stark looks over his shoudler.
<Snipe> When Lunarius was destroyed - what did you feel? Anything?
* Colephantus nods.
<Colephantus> NRP: Brb gotta pop my lazy ass father a bag of popcorn.
* `Em stops the ball a few feet away without making a move, idly watching it start to orbit around her head.
* Stark turns back to Snipe, the door sliding open behind him.
<Stark> I felt what everyone felt. Whether they acknowledged it or not.
<Dias> A Gear is nothing but an extension of one's body, so the quicker you are to react against..say a jab to the face, the better you'll be able to dodge an Ion Spear to your gears head.
<Snipe> ...
*** X1 has joined #taw
* Stark seems disappointed with the reaction.
* Snipe rubs the lower part of his face, looking at the ground.
<Dias> Does this mean, Stark won't be training with us today?
<Snipe> I need to take a break. You guys hold the fort, will ya?
* Snipe walks off, opening a side door. He does a quick wave, leaving.
<Stark> Very well: There was something amiss. Planets are destroyed all the time, however it's rare that the resulting emanations linger as they have.
<`Em> Oh yes, we'll make sure the deadly training balls don't destroy the ship.
* Katrina` runs another simulation, coming up with yet another negative result. She mutters in frustration, her right hand pounding the side of the keyboard. She rubs her tired eyes.
* Dias finishes typing and taps his comm
<Stark> ... *pulls his glasses down, his gray eyes gazing at Snipe*
<Stark> John.
<Alicia> NRP: I'd RP, if I wasn't so out of it.
<Dias> Comm: Hey Kat, I finished the program that'll let you take a closer look at the Motenk attack on Lunarius in the Training Room.
<Colephantus> NRP: Ok i'm back.
<Snipe> NRP: Did Stark follow Snipe out of the training room?
* Katrina` looks at the comm, reaching out and picking it up.
<Katrina`> Comm: Alright, Dias. Thank you. I'll be down shortly.
<Stark> NRP: He's still standing in the doorway, but he could easily have turned around.
* Colephantus rubs his shoulder.
* Snipe glances toward Stark.
* Dias looks at Cole
<Colephantus> Alright Dias....try not to badger me up to bad.
<Colephantus> I have progressed some I know....but to what extent I do not know.
<Stark> I understand your self-conflict. What did you want to know?
<Dias> I've got something else to do right now with Kat, but...after I'm done with her, we'll resume training.
* Colephantus nods.
<Snipe> I guess I just wanted to know if there was hope. If maybe they didn't all die. But I know they did. I guess...I wanted you to tell me the impossible.
<Colephantus> In the meantime....I think I might train...
<Colephantus> Alone for a change...
* Stark walks over to him, looking him in the eyes.
<Dias> Shadowbox Cole, that'll help build up stamina and speed.
<`Em> *hesitant* Mind if I sit in on the simulation?
* Katrina` stands up, grabbing a few disks. She begins to walk toward the door, when she looks at the hyperspace controls, then at the sleeping Ensign 2.
<Katrina`> Comm: Hey, Dias. Guess what?
* Colephantus nods to Dias.
<Dias> Comm: Umm...Eve's snuck on board and wants me?
<Katrina`> Comm: *laugh* No. We're about to drop out of hyperspace soon, within the hour. I guess that means we're in the Unknown Regions.
<Stark> If they died, they're gone forever. There's no sense in trying to cling to their vestige. They'll have become a part of everything around us. Part of you, part of me, part of this ship. All things return to the wholeness.
<Snipe> Unless you play God.
<Dias> Comm: Set the computer to warn us 3 minutes before we drop out.
<Stark> If you believe in him.
<Stark> However.
* Colephantus steps into a training room and looks for a good program for him to use.
<Dias> NRP: Slasher is not god.
<Stark> If they lived, perhaps your "God" has given you a chance to right your wrongs.
<Stark> Either way, both results lend themselves to the same omen.
<Snipe> The balance of death is out of whack, Stark. Pretty soon, someone will have to rebalance the weights. I just don't know what it'll mean. But, I figure as a witch doctor, you'll be in the right place at the right time.
<Stark> You know what your faults are, now. It's merely a question of whether or not the cosmos forgave your for it or not, Johnathan.
* Katrina` reaches over, setting up the warning. She then begins to walk toward the elevator.
* Colephantus brings up the shadow boxing program.
* Dias stands up and walks over to the main Training Room console and begins hooking up his Datepad to it
<Dias> NRP: *a shadow in the shape of a box pops up infront of Cole*
<Snipe> NRP: Okay, no more training programming for you
* Katrina` steps out of the elevator and walks into the Training Room, politely nodding to Stark as she passes him and Snipe.
* Colephantus watches an image of himself appear and ignite its Katars.
* Colephantus ignites his own and waits for a move to be made.
* Stark turns away from them and heads off.
* Dias begins typing in his datapad and the program begins to load into the Training Room computer
* Snipe pauses, looking toward Em.
* Katrina` stands there, looking around the training room.
* Ariel is waiting to see what Dias cooked up
<Ariel> NRP: Ack x.x
* `Em is, not Ariel.
<Snipe> NRP: Ariel is using Em's body!
* Colephantus then watches as his shadow charges him, they trade slashes and parrys reapeatedly.
* Dias is in plain site for Kat to see
<`Em> NRP: Actually, more likely, Em is doing her old tricks again
* Katrina` walks over next to Dias.
<Katrina`> I'm here.
* Dias nods as Kat steps up
<Snipe> ... I wonder what Garland would say right now... besides laughing about the catgons burning,
<Dias> What I did was take what we recorded and have the computer turn it into a 3-D image that'll allow you to spin, zoom in, zoom out, etc...
* Katrina` swallows, nodding.
<Dias> Watch...
<Katrina`> It'll be just like seeing it again.
* Dias taps a button
* Colephantus jumps back and smirks finalling feeling matches up with someone on his level. :P
<Dias> Exactly...but better.
* `Em winces a little at the thought.
<Snipe> 6* The Shadow Cole takes his katana and makes a dash left, then spins right, stabbing forward at Cole's stomach with it.
<Colephantus> NRP: Katar my friend....KAtar.
<Snipe> NRP: Do'h.
<Dias> MiniGM: *Seconds later the entire room suddenly goes black and hangs there for a second. Then suddenly several stars start to pop up and Lunarius suddenly builds itself in the middle of the room, a perfect 3-D image*
* Colephantus blocks the katar with his right hand...then uses the momentum to spin and slash down with his left.
* Dias looks over at Kat
* Snipe looks up to the sky, arms crossed.
<Dias> MiniGM: *Cole is in his own little section outside of this sim*
<Snipe> I think he'd say it was high time we dealt with Seraphna. But the only person who can do that right now is probably Slasher.
<Dias> Here's Lunarius...
<Colephantus> NRP: :)
<`Em> Well... it's detailed.
<Snipe> 6* Shadow Cole holds up his other katar, parrying off of the real Cole.
<Katrina`> I'm impressed, Dias.
* Dias taps a button and a fleet of Lunarian Battle Ships leave the planet and begin flying towards the Unknown region, only to have the Motenk ships show up and start a war*
* Colephantus 's eyes turn green and he jumps back.
* Dias taps another button and the entire image freezes
* Katrina` looks at the images impassively. What happened to the shy, innocent girl? Perhaps she's seen this bloody scene so many times, she's become unphased.
* Colephantus then proceeds to do two slashes, the energy from katars sends two beams at the shadow.
<Dias> Now here's the best part...I used the all the data we recorded to give each ship it's own little...data box.
<Snipe> 6* Shadow Cole evades, performign the same move back at Cole.
* Dias walks over to a Lunarian ship and taps it, a blew light outlining it and a screen popping up next to it, listing it's status
* Colephantus flips over the first and then slashes the second in half.
* Colephantus smiles.
<Dias> Since some of the stuff was way off the charts I wrote up an algorith that does it's best to fill in the blanks.
<Snipe> .... Hm. Interesting fellow, that Stark. I'll keep my eye on him.
* Snipe walks back into the training room, walking over toward Cole.
<Dias> NRP: Algorithm
<Dias> Computer, fast foward to when the Lunarians destroyed a Motenk Ship
* Katrina` pulls out her own datapad, inserting some disks. She types some things up as the scene pops up.
<`Em> *blinks* They actually killed one...?
<Dias> MiniGM: *the scene suddenly fast forwards to that point
<Katrina`> Three, in fact.
* Colephantus charges at the shadow his arms now begins to spin
<Dias> Now this is the best part Kat...*taps the Motenk Ship a green outline appearing
* Colephantus thrusts his drill like arm at the shadow.
<Snipe> 6* The Shadow Cole charges at Cole, his arms beginning to spin also. He thrusts at Cole's thrusting arm, aiming to collide both into each other.
<Dias> Since we were able to take live data and we have records of the Lunarians ships and their power level, I was able to figure out how much power is required to take one out.
<Snipe> Shadow Fighting. A good way to find out yourself - but then, knowing yourself is only half the battle.
<Katrina`> I calculated that, too, Dias. It's actually disturbing.
* Colephantus gets slung back from the expulsion of the energy of the two drills.
<Dias> MiniGM: *a pop-up appears displaying the power level the shields are theoretically at and how much longer it took to take it out after*
* Colephantus 's left hand then becomes a minigun.
<Katrina`> GM: *The Motenk shields appear, never showing any damage whatsoever during the entire attack as one strikes the top and the other the bottom. Both ships are firing with all their power, using up life support to increase the attack*
* Colephantus begins to charge energy into each barrel.
<Snipe> 6* Shadow Cole uses his right hand to become a minigun, aiming and firing at Cole.
* Dias smiles at Kat
* Colephantus dives to the right then rolls and releases the charged shot at the shadow.
<Snipe> 6* The Shadow dives to the right.
<Dias> It's amazing how these shields never showed any damage...Yet it still went down.
* Colephantus then rushes at the shadow and dives to tackle him.
<Dias> This means there not the conventional shields we're used to...but something more.
<Katrina`> It's what confuses me. I thought maybe it meant the bottom, which is where it exploded, was weak. But on the other destroyed ship, it was the side.
<Snipe> 6* Shadow Cole divers at Cole, both colliding in mid-air
* Snipe just watches, making wincing faces now and again.
* Colephantus connects with the shadow and falls to the ground.
* Colephantus looks down at the katar to his neck....then glances at his own on the shadows.
<`Em> Did anything odd happen at those times?
* Katrina` shakes her head.
* Colephantus sighs. "End Program."
<Katrina`> All the ships used up life support energy to create a powerful attack, but other ships did that, too, but did no damage.
* Snipe reaches a hand to Cole.
* Colephantus looks to snipe and extends his hand.
<Colephantus> Is there anyway that I can beat my shadow?
<Snipe> Very few people can beat their own shadows, I'm afraid.
* Colephantus sighs. "Its a good exercise though..."
<Stark> NRP: Cue Linkin Park lyrics.
* Colephantus then looks to the bigger image in front of him of the battle at Lunaris.
<Dias> We can also look at the other energy readings of the rest of the ships too to see if theres a change in them.
<Colephantus> I...miss something?
<Snipe> If it makes you feel better - I never beat myself, either.
* Colephantus smirks "A litte I guess...."
<Dias> NRP: Snipe: Atleast not the first time...After that I wiped him out.
<`Em> Maybe it's something stupid like they have a varied weak point in the shields. Or a hole that's posistion is quickly randomized.
<Katrina`> Their shields are amazingly strong. 6She brings up one ship, where three ships fire at the same spot, causing absolutely no damage.
<Katrina`> Usually, tactic would be that you concentrate your firepower at one spot, correct? Well, this did not work at all with the Motenks, which is why the Lunarians lost...
* Snipe nods at them
* Colephantus slowly walks up beside Kat looking at the ships.
<Dias> What do the three Motenk ships that were taken down have in common Kat?
<`Em> Well, if they have it like I mentioned... Hey Dias, can you make a simulated marker and softball?
* Dias taps in on teh console and a marker and softball pop up
* Katrina` stands there, rewinding back and forth between the various three Motenk ships. In the first one, three Lunarian ships fire at the top shields, while a fourth one fires at the bottom area.
<Katrina`> This was the first one destroyed.
* Dias nods
* `Em takes the practice ball and draws a circle on it, a little bigger than the softball, then tosses the softball to Kat.
* Katrina` catches it, looking at Em.
<`Em> So Katrina, how's your aim?
* Colephantus rubs his chin.
<Katrina`> Not the best. What do you want me to do?
<Dias> Kat, goto the second one..
* `Em spins the practiceball on a scewed axis.
<Colephantus> Is it possible that by attacking in seperate sections that it uses all of the shields energy to negate the shield?
<`Em> Just hit the target.
* Katrina` pulls back, throwing the ball at the destroyer.
* `Em stands back, figuring she's spun the ball fast enough that hitting the target is exceedingly unlikely.
* Snipe brings up Motenk Destroy 2.
<Snipe> NRP: Er, Kat did
<Katrina`> GM: *in Destroyer 2, four Lunarian vessels fire at the top in various places, trying to blast it. Then, off to the side, one Lunarian vessel, almost blown up, rams the side, destroying the Motenk vessel. Now, earlier in the battle, this same tactic occured and failed*
* Colephantus runs his hand through his long white hair.
<Colephantus> This is quite odd....
* Snipe looks at it, rubbing his head.
<Dias> ..*looks at Em* That might be the cast, but then it should be strong all the way around.
<Dias> All these destroyed ships have in common is that fact that One ship by itself destroys it.
* Colephantus coughs.
<Colephantus> Is it possible that by attacking in seperate sections that it uses all of the shields energy to negate the shield?
* Katrina` pauses, looking toward Cole.
<Katrina`> Explain.
<Dias> And they do it by hitting it either on the opposite side or away from it.
<`Em> Maybe they need a hole? Can't fire through their shield? Certain frequencies? Can't be invincible everywhere? Scewed vision of fair play?
<Colephantus> In the 3 defeats of the Motenk where there attacks at seperate spots?
<Colephantus> I figured that if this was the case....maybe they have a projection shield system....
<Katrina`> Yes. In the last one, it was destroyed on the bottom again. Three ships fired at the bottom while five ships fired at the top, two ships fired at the sides.
<Colephantus> I figured....that maybe only designated parts of the ships....such as the ones being fired upon...are the stronger parts....
<Colephantus> The rest of the shields would be rather weak...so if they got attacked...the projection system would try to increase that spot.
<Colephantus> Then maybe....they ran out of energy...
<Colephantus> Perhaps?
<Dias> So they're able to relocate their shields to specific spots to block the attacks.
<Katrina`> So what you're concluding is that the part fired on gets fully increased, making it invicible.
<Katrina`> But leaves another part weakened.
* Colephantus nods.
* Dias smiles at Cole, winking at him
* `Em takes the practice ball, and spins it on her finger
<Katrina`> I would say that Colephantus could be right.
* Stark appears.
<`Em> You know... We need to find a lone Motenk ship to try test this out.
<Stark> I assume you all are strategizing.
<Dias> This is true...
* Colephantus smirks.
<Snipe> A lone Motenk ship? That would be difficult to manage. Besides, each of the ships fired you said used up LIFE SUPPORT to do enough damage. We'd be toast.
<Dias> Now we've got a strategy guys...
<Dias> I think we just need to find the right weapon.
<Colephantus> But....we needs for ships....allys....
<Stark> The best weapon isn't ballistic. *leans on his cane, deep in thought8
<Snipe> We need to find something out here in the Unknown Region to hurt them bad. We can't win 1 on 1.
<Dias> Kat, did any of the Lunarian ships use any EMP devices?
<Katrina`> A few did towards the end. No effect.
<Stark> Johnathan, recall their power. Remember what they made out of Death Star.
<Stark> How did you stop him when he first became what he is now?
<`Em> Well, John, it's always been a single shot that destroyed the ship once they got through the shield, right?
<Snipe> His family barely managed to talk him out of killing us,
<Colephantus> ....Maybe there is some weapon...that would be light enough for a fighter to carry...but strong enough to break through.
<Stark> Indeed.
<`Em> Maybe they're not as strong as we think... We're just not hitting them right.
<Stark> However, what happened after that?
<Dias> ...*Turns to Stark* So we should just stop and talk to them?>
<Snipe> Death Star then used a huge amount of Motenk energy and was better.
* Stark glances at Dias. "At least try to seem intelligent."
<Snipe> Except for being insane.
<Stark> Indeed.
<Stark> What we need to learn is where this energy comes from.
* Colephantus rubs his chin...now being completely in the dark.
<Dias> ...*looks around at what he just did* Looks like a raving moron made this sim...
* Snipe points at Stark
<Snipe> You know, there's something that bothers me about the energy.
<`Em> Come on Snipe, I've seen FIGHTERs take a single hit fom a ship's weapons. And their ships don't? They're relying on their power too much.
* Stark smiles slightly. "Indeed. And what is that?"
* Snipe points at the Motenk attacks, all purple.
<Snipe> Why is it that it's purple?
* Colephantus looks to Em.
<Stark> The hue... it reminds me of... hrm.
<`Em> Purple...? *shudder*
<Snipe> And do you know who else is a major power source who's aura is purple? The Enhanced.
<Stark> Not just them.
<`Em> Yeah, and the old mavericks were...
<`Em> Well, atleast the virus..
* Stark presses his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
<Stark> Recall history.
<Dias> I have an idea Kat, we need to find the polar opposite of purple and attack it with them.
<Stark> On earth, when Duo was battling in space and crashed into earth.
<Katrina`> I don't think it's color that hurts them, Dias. But I think that it does mean something. I mean, of all the wave lengths..
<`Em> ...polar opposite of purple?
<Dias> ...*leans into Kat* I was joking...
<Snipe> I don't know much about it. Death Star would be the better person to ask.
* Colephantus smirks at Dias whom is obviously pissed at the fact of not recieving a "Good Job"
<Stark> The one known as Dr. Wily harvested the remains of a being what used similar energies.
<`Em> So we'd be looking for Green, or red energy?
* Snipe rubs his chin, looking at the others.
<Snipe> Do you guys remember this? I know Stark's right, I just can't remember the details.
<Colephantus> Wily.....
* Stark holds up a finger.
* Colephantus lowers his head thinking.
<Dias> Kat, you might have an experiment to try.
<`Em> *shakes her head* Before my time
<Stark> There are three extremely noteworthy things about this energy.
* Snipe looks at Stark, waiting
<Stark> First, it's effects are corruptive. Leading to insanity and a generic need for destruction.
<Dias> ...Not true.
<Dias> I'm not insa...
<Snipe> Hold before two, Stark
* Snipe looks at Dias.
<Dias> ...Well I'm not curruptive.
<Snipe> That's something I've been withholding....
<Stark> Perhaps your energies are on a different wavelength, or perhaps being filtered.
<Snipe> Your aura is partially purple, too, Dias. The same as Motenk energy.
<Colephantus> Its also possible that his human energy balances his motenk....
<Dias> Hey Kat, what happens when you hit a wavelength with another that is 180 degrees out of sync?
<Snipe> Or it could be that he's not been in contact with the Motenks. What happens THEN?
* Colephantus arches an eyebrow.
<Snipe> Dias, remember how the Motenk machines attacked you and begin to drain you?
<Dias> *turns his head to Snipe* Yeah I do.
<Snipe> What happens the next time?
<Stark> I highly doubt that it's balancing out, there's something peculiar about that.
* Dias shrugs, never putting thought to it.
* Snipe looks back to Stark
<Snipe> What else/
<Stark> Second, the energy is self-cultivating. If left unattended it will multiply and spread of it's own accord. Historically it's been placed into glass spheres for use like batteries, as Wily used it for. Inexhaustable.
<Stark> Meaning, Dias, if you were to truely tap into this Motenk energy, there's little that would lead you to be fatigued.
<`Em> So what's the catch? There'd have to be a catch.
<Dias> But I'm usually always hungry when I tap into it.
<Stark> The catch is the loss of self and grip on reality I mentioned to begin with.
<Snipe> Look at Death Star for the catch.
<Colephantus> Sounds like you all ae saying that Dias might want to set out of this mission....
<Snipe> The perfect altar boy, reduced to a mad man.
<Alicia> NRP: Goodnight!
<Snipe> nRP: Night
<Stark> Third, and the key point...
*** Alicia has quit IRC (Quit: Sweet dreams!)
* Katrina` listens attentatively, then scans Dias with a scanner.
<Stark> It can be destroyed and/or neutralized. There is an inverse to the the purple wavelength.
<Snipe> What's that?
<Stark> Recall Duo.
* Katrina` lokos up.
<Katrina`> Duo was destroyed recently.
<Stark> *nods to Kat* Though, historically he was touted as becoming a blue meteor.
* Colephantus is very confused now.
<Colephantus> Why must you talk in questions...why no just tell us....it saves the time that we don't have.
<Stark> Old films I've viewed have shown his hand to burn with an energy similar to the Motenk's purple energy.
<Snipe> So whatever Duo knew or attained aided him
* Dias begins typing on his datapad
<Snipe> And then the Bots destroy Duo. And then something big destroys the Bots.
<Stark> Well, that said, we know very little of the blue energy aside from who originally had it.
<Snipe> And what destroyed the Bots is probably the Motenks.
<`Em> Blue? Isn't that, well, you know, Kinda close to purple color wise?
<Colephantus> Could be an altered form of Motenks?
<Stark> We do know that it is, quite literally, characteristically inverted to the purple. Note that Duo was driven for "justice."
<Dias> Yeah...Blue really isn't the opposite of Purple.
<Dias> Red and Blue make Purple...So technically you'd havea triangle.
<Snipe> Still, we can't ignore what Stark has brought up. If there's a tie, we'd be fools to overlook it.
<Stark> Perhaps not, but there's also the chance that it's the opposite on a different spectrum. Infrared isn't really red.
<Dias> Who was talking about Infrared.
<Katrina`> Computer: Exiting Hyperspace in 3 minutes.
<Stark> It's an example, Dias. Please, try thinking.
* Snipe seems lost in thought, considering this new information.
<Stark> My research has lead me to one possible lead for finding a vestige or source of the opposing energy.
<Dias> And it's a cute one...
<Dias> But Snipe, I advise we head upto the bridge, we should be prepared for whatever we see when we drop out of hyperspace.
<Dias> Like a small planet or a wall of purple death.
<Snipe> Alright. 6He nods.
<Stark> Mega Man X. Granted, he died long before Duo. He--ironically the first reploid--was endowed with his buster using similar methods.
* Dias hits several keys and the simulator shuts up
<Snipe> X. ... we'd definitely need to talk to someone from that era.
<Stark> He was also never infected by the Maverick Virus. Obviously, there's something to that.
* Stark glances to Snipe.
<Stark> I've done my research, however. Who came before X?
* Snipe grimaces
<Snipe> Oh God, not him...
<Snipe> I only met him once and he's annoying as hell.
<`Em> Umm... Think I'm missing something here guys.
<Stark> Unfortunately, it's him, or hoping to find some "true" origin of Duo's power here.
<Dias> ...He's talking about X1.
* `Em nearly falls over.
<Stark> From my understanding Roboticron has nothing else like Duo on it.
<Dias> You might be jumping on assumptions Stark, but it's the best lead we've gotten.
<`Em> You must be kidding me...
<Snipe> Oh great. So we find X1 and say, "Hi, can we study you?"
<Stark> I'm merely posing my analysis.
* Dias turns and walks towards the elevator
<Stark> Long story short, I feel that the opposing energy may well be applicable to the defeat of the Mtenks.
<Snipe> I'm going to go nuts like DS dealing with X1.
<Snipe> But something tells me you're probably more right than wrong in this case.
<`Em> And you don't even get massive power doing it. How fun is that...
<Snipe> Well, I should head to the bridge before Dias does something stupid. Good work everyone. Dias. Katrina. Stark.
<Snipe> Cole.
* Snipe nods at him, winking, as he walks off.
<Colephantus> .....
* Dias steps onto the elevator and taps on it, heading upto the bridge
* Snipe grabs the next elevator.
<Colephantus> NRP: WHy you effers keep winking at me!?!? Its creepy...
* Stark watches Snipe walk away.
* Katrina` stands there, shaking her head.
<Katrina`> This is al ot.
<Snipe> 6* The Aquarius drops out of hyperspace with a shake.
<Stark> I didn't expect Sardis to come up with such a strategy, actually.
<Katrina`> Sardis?
* Stark glances at Katrina.
<Stark> I'm not a war scholar.
* Colephantus walks over to the elevator and waits for it to return...not wanting to hear about the Tsiv.
* Katrina` pauses, then a look of dawning appears on her face. She smiles, glancing down.
* Snipe steps off on the bridge, looking out at the vast emptiness before them.
<Snipe> Well...this will be our home for a while.
* Dias stands infront of Snipe
<Snipe> Ensign 5...try communications.
<Snipe> Ensign 5: We're too far out of range, sir.
<Stark> He's been working on this for a long time with me. He's troubled, it seems.
<Stark> Well, good day to you all.
<Katrina`> .oO (Wow)
* Stark turns, headed for his normal creeping grounds.
* Ariel appears on the bridge
<Ariel> We're here already? Or is something up?
* Colephantus gets on the elevator.
<Snipe> We're here. 2 months of traveling and we're here. Now the question is what direction do we go in.
* Colephantus heads to the bridge.
<Dias> Well luckilly we didn't drop out infront of a Giant Star.
* Katrina` pauses, her communicator beeping. She picks it up. It's a DS communicator.
<Snipe> Anyone have a direction they favor?
<Snipe> Other than back.
<Dias> Up?
<Dias> But I do prefer going donw.
<Snipe> ...
<Snipe> Ariel?
<Ariel> First star on the right?
<Snipe> Ensign 2...set course.
* Colephantus steps onto the bridge and then over to a seat.
<Snipe> 6* The Ensign 2 turns the Aquarius, moving forward in that direction.
<Dias> Hey Snipe...we could make a fortune selling maps to here.
<Snipe> Yes we could.
<Snipe> But if we don't make it out alive, no one will know, since we can't---- 6He stops when Katrina steps on the bridge, holding a communicator.
<Katrina`> Um, mom. It's for you.
<Dias> ...?
<Snipe> What the hell?
<Dias> ...A call...out here?
<Ariel> *blinks* Oh... Um, Alright. *steps over to Kat and takes the Comm* Hello..?
<Snipe> That's one of those DS communicators.
<Katrina`> <DeathStar> *static filled* Ariel?
<Ariel> Hey... Didn't expect to be hearing from anyone out here. This is quite the surprise.
<Katrina`> <DeathStar> Well, when I heard what happened .... I figured I should call. It's been a few months, though, since your hyperspace was distorting the call.
* Snipe sits down in his chair, listening.
<Ariel> *nods slowly* <Comm> I'm glad to hear from you. I figured we'd be all alone out here.
<Katrina`> <DeathStar> *goes out of contact for a moment, then fades back in* - worry. I'll be around. How are you, though? *he sounds worried, despite the bad connection*
<Ariel> *hesitates* <Comm> Surpressing the urge to commandeer the ship, and attack the first Montenks I see. *half joking*
<Snipe> <DeathStar> *laughs, though it's not full of mirth* Stay strong, A. This connection is about to go out, but I just wanted to tell you that I want you to stay safe and come back whole. I'm trying my best, too.
* Katrina` leans against her console, looking down.
<Ariel> <Comm> I won't go off half cocked, don't worry... Still some things I have to do, others to protect. Especially with some of this crew. We'll make it back.
<Snipe> <DeathStar> I l---- 6* The connection is lost as somewhere as other transmissions or particles interfere.
* Snipe rubs the side of his neck.
<Snipe> Well, he sounded better.
* Ariel holds the comm in both hands, waiting a few moments before handing it back to Katrina.
* Katrina` takes it, putting it up
<Ariel> *absently* Almost like his old self actually...
<Snipe> There's one thing most dangerous about this entire mission.
<Colephantus> The Motenk?
<Snipe> The enemy within. Which is why you three may be everyone's best hope.
<Katrina`> I...don't understand.
* Colephantus arches an eyebrow.
<Colephantus> Neither do I.....
* Snipe closes his eyes
*** blow has joined #taw
*** blow has left #taw
<Snipe> I should probably tell you later. Best to keep morale up.
* Ariel nods
<Ariel> We really can't risk that out here.
* Snipe nods.
<`Em> NRP: The traitor is Blow! Blow!
<Snipe> NRP: LOL
<Colephantus> Morale....This ship has morale? *smirking*
* Snipe stands
<Snipe> I think you want more training, Cole.
* Colephantus laughs.
* Colephantus stands.
<Colephantus> After you, Sir. *Smiling*
* Katrina` taps her communicator.
<Katrina`> Stark? Are you there Stark?
<Stark> Comm: Yes?
<Katrina`> NRP: Do'h. I meant Sardis.
* Snipe walks down to the training room.
* Colephantus follows.
<Katrina`> Sardis? Are you there Sardis?
* Snipe steps into the training room, tossing his glasses to the side.
* Colephantus reluctently follows behind. Knowing hes in for it.
* `Em has since left the training room
* Snipe dashes forward, throwing a punch at Cole's face.
<Stark> Sardis Comm: Yes?
* Colephantus turns to the left grabbing Snipes arm, then tries to throw him over his shoulder.
<Katrina`> Comm: Hi, Sardis. How have you been lately?
* Snipe is grabbed, but he does an odd wrist movement to free himself. He then appears to Cole's side, grabbing his arm and begins to pivot to throw him - but, this time Cole can actually see it coming.
<Stark> Comm: *there's shifting and ruffling of papers in the background, the sound of a heavy binder closing* I've... been well. And yourself?
* Colephantus spins mid-air to land on his feet.
<Colephantus> NRP: Hold on a sec I have to go do something. 5 seconds.
<Katrina`> Comm: Tired. I suppose we've all been busy. Are you --- busy right this moment?
<Stark> SardisComm: Not especially, no.
<Katrina`> Comm: Would you like to meet in the cafeteria?
* Ariel idly listens in on Kat's conversation, pretending not to.
<Colephantus> NRP: Ok back....my drunk neighbor wrecked out front.
* Snipe turns to face Cole.
<Stark> Com: Alright, I'll meet you there.
* Colephantus dashes at Snipe his left arm ready to punch.
* Katrina` clicks her comm off, smiling to herself as she stands, turning her monitor off. She waves goodbye to Ariel and walks off.
* Snipe moves to the side, letting Cole get air.
<Snipe> Know your enemy.
* Colephantus spins while punching to attempt as kick at snipe.
* Snipe holds up his left arm to let the foot impact against it.
<Snipe> Know me
*** Stark is now known as Sardis
* Colephantus falls on his butt and he flips back.
* Snipe moves fast, swinging his knee up at Cole's chin.
* Katrina` steps into the cafeteria.
* Sardis makes is way to the cafeteria, stepping in and removing his uniform's cap, revealing medium length hair. He's grown thinner in the past three months, from little training or eating.
* Colephantus lowers both of his arms to block the attack.
* Katrina` looks at him, looking him up and down.
<Katrina`> Wow, you've changed a lot.
<Colephantus> Know you!
* Snipe pushes against his hand from a moment, then backs down for a moment to handspring above Cole and land behind him, trying to blow him at his back
<Snipe> That's right. Learn my moves before I make them.
* Ariel resists the urge to spy on her daughter, and goes to pick up something to eat.
* Sardis smiles a bit. "I shaved my head for a long time."
* Katrina` nods, smiling
<Sardis> You haven't changed much... sorry I haven't been around.
* Colephantus rolls forward and raises to face Snipe.
<Katrina`> It's my fault, too. All I've been doing is working on the battle data...
* Snipe circles around Cole
<Colephantus> I know that no matter how hard i've trained...know matter how much I see you fight! I still can't gain the upperhand!
<Sardis> I've been.... er, busy.
Session Close: Sat Apr 03 00:00:00 2004

Session Start: Sat Apr 03 00:00:00 2004
Session Ident: #taw
<Snipe> You know what drove me to be like this?
* Colephantus spins to attempt to sweep Snipe behind him.
<Sardis> I should have been out more, I am the security officer...
<Colephantus> What?
<Katrina`> I heard of a little of what you've been doing from Mr. Stark. Your work really did well today in the presentation.
<Snipe> To be the best. I had to become stronger --- 6He dashes forward, throwing a punch at Cole's jaw. "Than Garland. I had to beat him because he was superior to me. I couldn't stand that--" 6He pulls back and kicks upward at Cole. "So I used that desire to fuel me."
<Sardis> He did all the work really... he's the speaker. I'm not cut out for strategy.
* Colephantus blocks the punch but gets hit by the kick and stumble back.
<Katrina`> Neither am I. 6She smiles, taking a plate of food and sitting down. "It's nice, sitting down and talking like this again."
* Snipe stands.
<Colephantus> All I wish to attain....is to be on your level! I could give a damn about beating you...I will only care about that...when the time come that I may have to face you!
* Snipe nods.
<Snipe> Then learn to take me down. Because your chance may come soon.
* Colephantus looks puzzled.
<Snipe> Fuel your desire.
* Ariel eats her food, on the other side of the Cafeteria, not listening in on Kat and Sardis.
<Colephantus> You know more than you tell us....
* Sardis grabs an apple and sits infront of Kat, he seems noticably more loose than before.
<Snipe> I do. I've become worse than Death Star in that department.
<Colephantus> Quit playing mind games. Let us know so we can be ready!
<Sardis> It is nice.
<Snipe> The Motenks ultimate machine--- 6Flips into the air, landing behind Cole. 1"Is the ability to take life from one person and replace it in another."
* Colephantus seems shocked.
<Katrina`> I heard from John that you've been talking with Eve a lot. He picks on Dias about it. 6She smiles, taking a bite of her food.
* Sardis takes a bite out of the apple, chewing on it a moment.
<Snipe> The question is - what about of motenk energy is placed into the dead corpse to reanimate it?
<Snipe> (amount)
<Sardis> That does make him my step father, I suppose... though Eve... my mother... I'm glad that I found her.
* Colephantus turns to punch Snipe in the jaw.
* Snipe is hit, sliding backwards. He kicks off the wall and kicks out at Cole's jaw.
<Snipe> Death Star became a mindless drone from Motenk energy.
<Colephantus> Obviously a lot....at least in Deathstar's case.. *grabs Snipes leg and slams him into the ground...maybe*
* Snipe uses his hand to flip himself up in the air instead of getting impacted.
<Snipe> Now. You. Know. My. Predicament.
<Colephantus> .....Yes.
<Colephantus> But do you know if you'll be reanimated?
<Snipe> I already have been.
<Colephantus> ?
<Colephantus> I thought....
<Colephantus> Only Dias....
<Katrina`> It must be nice. I'm glad you found her, Sardis.
* Sardis takes another bite from the apple, studying the red skin.
<Snipe> Dias' DNA is part Motenk. I died. I was reanimated.
* Colephantus runs his hand through his hair.
<Colephantus> Who else knows?
<Snipe> The original Hunters.
<Colephantus> So Dias....Ariel....? Anyone else on this ship?
<Sardis> There's a lot of things I've been trying to figure out lately.
<Snipe> Dias, Ariel, Em, and Hotaru know.
<Katrina`> Like what?
* Colephantus rubs his chin.
<Colephantus> So your saying once you get close enough to the Motenk....you'll lose control?
<Snipe> You are my back up. I want you to take me and Dias down if either of us fall under the control of Motenks. I don't know if we will, but I forsee it's a possibility.
<Sardis> I've been watching so many recorded battles... reading so many accounts... I'm trying to understand this whole deal with the Motenks.
<Sardis> There has to be some meaning to the colors of their energy types, but it just doesn't make sense yet.
* Colephantus nods.
<Colephantus> I'll try my damnest.
<Colephantus> I wont let you down. I swear.
<Katrina`> I don't know either, really. I feel like most of the information is being withheld from us for our own good.
<Colephantus> If it means my death.....So be it.
* Snipe looks up at the sky.
<Sardis> I hate that feeling.
<Snipe> Hopefully it won't come to that. Neither living nor dying, it's hard to explain.
<Snipe> (sky = roof)
<Sardis> I've noticed something, too.
<Katrina`> What's that?
* Colephantus walks up to Snipe.
<Colephantus> I didn't know what I was getting into when I came here....
<Sardis> Snipe... I've been watching him and comparing it to battle tapes.
<Colephantus> But i'm glad i'm here now.
<Katrina`> What did you notice?
* Snipe nods.
<Sardis> Garland Hianule was obsessed with being number one.
<Katrina`> Do you think Snipe is, also?
<Sardis> Granted, he worked hard and didn't rest until he got that.
<Sardis> I don't know. He's driven to say the least.
<Snipe> So, Colephantus, I have to make you better than you ever were before.
<Colephantus> I will work hard...I swear it....
<Snipe> Dias thinks you're learning Gear movement from him to be a good pilot. But you might need that knowledge to know him, one day.
* Colephantus nods.
* Snipe slides back into a battle stance.
* Colephantus jumps back getting into Snipes same stance.
<Katrina`> From my childhood memories, I remember Snipe being different. It's like he's growing up...which is odd when I think about him.
<Colephantus> Ya know...i'm learning you....your witty...you use every single element possible in a fight.
<Snipe> Wait until I slam a bathroom sink into you.
<Sardis> Hm..
* Colephantus smirks.
* Sardis seems to stare at the red skin of the apple he's eating.
* Katrina` looks at Sardis as she looks down.
<Snipe> Did I ever tell you I fought Sigma?
* Snipe throws a kick at Cole.
* Sardis glances to up at Kat.
<Sardis> Something wrong?
<Colephantus> Really? *blocking the kick a throwing a punch*
<Katrina`> No...nothing. 6She glances down, eating quickly.
* Snipe pulls back, blocking the punch. He flips up in the air, coming down with a spiral kick.
<Snipe> Yep. Real bald.
* Sardis resists. "Alright."
<Snipe> 6* Outside the Aquarius, a Maverick ship passes with "Snipe is Mother" painted on the side.
<Sardis> NRP: LOL!
* Colephantus jumps to the left then flips back with a roundhouse kick.
<Colephantus> I've heard that.
* Snipe gets kicked, but he rolls and spins to the side so the damage is lessened.
<Colephantus> ....How many times did Sigma die anyway?
<Snipe> Pfft. I lost count. I finally took his head.
<`Em> *in the training room* I really wish you managed to pull that off earlier.
* Colephantus smirks. "I thought X was the one to finish him off?"
<Snipe> Nah.
* Snipe looks at Em, waving, his focus totally off of Cole, leaving him wide open.
<Snipe> Came to see macho man work?
* Colephantus rush at throwing a punch at his gut.
<Colephantus> NRP: There supposed to be a Snipe in there.
<`Em> *glance at Cole* X and Zero went and blew themselves up long before Sigma was done in. *notice Cole's move* Hey! Careful Snipe!
* Snipe gets punched in the gut, smiling a bit as spit falls down from his lips. He grabs Cole's throat.
* Katrina` finishes her food.
* Colephantus also grabs Snipes throat about the same time as he is grabbed.
<Katrina`> What do you think will happen to all of us in the future?
* Snipe squeezes, smiling at him.
<`Em> Y'know, if that guy was still around, I'd sooooo want to be the one to kick his ass.
<Snipe> The..urk..sad thing...is that you're a reploid...
<Sardis> Why worry about that?
* Colephantus smirks.
* Snipe lifts Cole up, despite being choked. He begins to rush forward toward the wall.
<Katrina`> I just wonder about things like that sometimes. Our future. All of us.
* Colephantus grabs Snipes arm that is chocking him and begins to twist....after loosening his grip Cole flips over his back and kicks him into the wall.
<Sardis> I'll let you know in twenty years what I think of the future. *throws his apple core at the trash, hoping to land it*
* Snipe runs up the wall as he is kicked toward it, kicking off and landing behind Cole. He punches at his head.
* Katrina` watches it go in, smiling.
* Colephantus gets punched then returns a punch of his own.
<`Em> *absently* I should really make my own, 'kick the crap out of siggy' Simulation.
* Snipe grabs the fist and swings Cole rapidly, letting him go toward a wall.
* Sardis looks to Kat.
* Sardis smiles.
<Snipe> I think you've found a desire in you, Colephantus.
* Colephantus spins mid-air to land on the wall with both feet, then he pushes off at Snipe attempting a tackle.
* Snipe grabs Cole, leaping up as he does, sending them both spinning through the air.
* Colephantus kicks Snipe off toward the ground, not paying attention he crashes into the wall.
* Katrina` listens to some of the NPCs talking about a big fight in the training room, leaving.
<Snipe> 6* Several NPCs walk in to watch
* Snipe rolls along the ground, landing in a kneeling position. He stands.
<Snipe> .oO (He's better. Definitely. I wonder if I should keep holdign back...)
* Colephantus gets to his feet and smiles.
<Colephantus> Snipe....
<Snipe> Yes?
<Colephantus> I'm sick of you holding back....i'm no infant.
* Snipe laughs
<Snipe> Good show. You remind me of someone.
<Colephantus> Really? Who?
<Snipe> Garland. One of the few times I was stronger he said the same thing. Then he proceeded to beat me down.
* Colephantus chuckles. "Maybe I can do the same?
<Colephantus> "
* Snipe blurs, appearing behind Cole.
<Snipe> Do it.
* Sardis blinks and watches Kat go.
<Katrina`> NRP: Oh, she didn't go. She watched others go
* Colephantus spins throwing his right fist as Snipe.
<Snipe> <Ensign 56> I got money on the new guy.
<Colephantus> The best I can do is try!
* Snipe knocks the fist away quickly.
* Colephantus spins trying to sweep his legs out from under him.
* Snipe blurs again, appearing behind Cole.
<Colephantus> What the....
* Colephantus jumps back.
* Snipe blurs, grabbing Cole in a headlock.
<`Em> Wow... You've gotten better John.
<Katrina`> Looks like we've gotten the place to ourselves.
<Snipe> What you have to learn now is that what you see isn't real. I'm moving fast, but not fast enough that I'm truly blurring.
<Snipe> Your eyes must move faster.
* Ariel is still there, eating and not listening
* Colephantus grabs the back of Snipes leg and picks him up trying falling backward to slam him into the ground.
* Snipe shifts some to let Cole land by himself.
<Colephantus> How would I do that? This is much different than standard fighting....
* Snipe holds up a hand.
<Snipe> See my hand?
* Colephantus nods.
* Colephantus slowly standing.
* Snipe begins to wave it back and forth, slowly enough it's easily seen
* Colephantus follows it.
<Sardis> Yeah, seems that way.
* Snipe moves it faster, but at the top speed a normal person can do - it's still seeable.
*** X1 is now known as X1-Sleep
* Colephantus continues to follow.
* Snipe now blurs it, moving it around faster than can be fully seen
* Katrina` sips her drink, looking at the table.
* Colephantus tries to follow but only catches glipses of it.
<Snipe> Try to throw a punch at it.
* Colephantus sees the hand go to the right, so he throws a punch at the left.
<Snipe> 6* Miss.
<Snipe> Again.
* Sardis stands, grabbing a bottle of water for himself, he sits himself once more infront of Kat.
<Katrina`> So, anything else you've been up to lately?
* Colephantus watches again, this time punching to the middle when the Hand gets to the right.
* Snipe 's hand tightens around Cole's fist
<Snipe> Not bad.
<Colephantus> But I missed the fist time....
<Sardis> That's really about it. Trying to figure out how to beat them.
<Colephantus> You could have killed me within that time.
<Colephantus> I mistake.
<Colephantus> NRP: err 1.
<Snipe> You think I didn't make them at first? This technique of fighting was Garland's. I was amazed I could do it.
<Katrina`> Looks like we both have a long year ahead of us. 6She agrees, smiling.
* Colephantus looks at him.
<Colephantus> Elaborate....Show me.
<Sardis> Better longer than shorter. *smiles*
<Snipe> A few people have the ability to move so fast, they leave after images. A blurring effect.
<Snipe> Sigma could do it.
<Colephantus> But how....I can blur a bit but thats just within normal range....nothing of that sort.
<`Em> Some people can cheat, and REALLY teleport. Gotta be careful of them.
<Snipe> It's hard. Some people teleport - reploids are notorious for this, since you can install teleporters.
* Snipe smiles at Em as she says the same thing.
<`Em> *looks at Snipe* Hey John, WHO's the psychic here?
* `Em sticks her tongue out.
* Snipe laughs
<Snipe> I always claimed DS was a teleporter.
<`Em> Yeah, he's a bit of one.
<Colephantus> Well its seems I'm to far away from any place to obtain teleports...
<Colephantus> So your going to have to teach me the old fashoin way!
<`Em> Oh, and that reminds me. You rely on close combat?
<Colephantus> NRP: Whos that question directed to?
<`Em> NRP: Cole
* Colephantus looks up.
<Colephantus> No....i have miniguns as well..
<`Em> Ah, that's good. Because otherwise you'd be screwed against a certain group of people.
<Colephantus> ...The motenk?
* `Em flicks her wrist, causing Cole to flip upside down, seemingly dangling in midair from his ankles.
<`Em> No, people like me.
<Snipe> She's a psionic.
<Colephantus> Ahhh I see.....could you put me down now?
<`Em> Well, if you insist. *releases Cole*
<Snipe> Bad move.
* Colephantus turns inair to land on his feet.
<Colephantus> NRP: Is that possible?
<Snipe> I always pissed off the psionics.
<Snipe> NRP: Yeah, if you're good.
<Colephantus> NRP: Well lets hope I'm good then. :P
<`Em> Yeah. *rolls her eyes off some* You do that alot John.
<`Em> NRP: I'll be nice and say she was holding him high enough that he could*
* Colephantus stands and looks around.
<Snipe> I'm sorry, I can't hear you- oh, wait, you were talking normally.
<Colephantus> NRP: :P
* Colephantus smirks at Snipe's reamark.
<`Em> John John John... Tsk tsk, don't you remember that I've learned ways to work around that? *holds out her hand, and closes her eyes, a ball of non-psionic flame appearing in her hand*
<Snipe> What I enjoy is how you talk with your mouth now.
* Colephantus seems lost....not knowing the past of most everyone on the ship.
<`Em> Yeah, well, HAVING a mouth does help with that y'know. Anyways, you tend not to hear me otherwise, so I tend to save that for when I don't want you knowing I'm talking behind your back.
* Snipe pauses, then looks at cole
<Snipe> Is she saying anything about me?
* Colephantus raises and eyebrow.
<Colephantus> Too many voices in my head to tell.
* Colephantus smirks.
<Snipe> It would be the one talking about how sexy I Am.
* Colephantus laughs.
<Colephantus> I don't think I hear one of those....
* `Em smirks
<Colephantus> There is one that was saying somethign about....4 inches? Odd I'd say....
<Snipe> Now THAT's a blatant lie!
* Colephantus laughs.
<Colephantus> Humans are funny....especially males and their...members.
<Snipe> Oh, like you don't use yours.
<Colephantus> .....Like i've had anyone to use it on?
<Snipe> Hmmm. Hey, Em, is Katrina available?
<Colephantus> ....No shes into Tsiv....
<Snipe> Oh, right. Baldy.
<Colephantus> ....Sometimes I question your trust Snipe....
<`Em> Well, she's not technically hooked up. Though, 'technically', niether is motherhen.
<Snipe> I don't know much about Sardis, but he seems alright. I mean, if Eve gave him her blessing.
<Snipe> She's tricking you, Cole. Stay away from the motherhen.
<Colephantus> Motherhen?
<Snipe> Ariel.
<Colephantus> I'm talking about me too Snipe....
<Colephantus> Oh.
<Colephantus> How did you know I wouldn't betray you?
<`Em> *innocently* Why would I trick him?
<Snipe> You like pain.
* Snipe turns to Cole.
<Snipe> Because I don't think even you want to see the galaxy being taken over by something worse than the Tsivrixsh.
* Colephantus thinks for a moment....then nods.
<Colephantus> I guess so.
<Colephantus> Acutally one of the main reasons I came was for your help.
<Snipe> Wow. You wanted my help?
<Colephantus> Or at least to help you....I hate the Alliance....more than the Tsivs themselves...
<`Em> Pain? No... Though, I guess I'm most comfortable ammoung family and dead people. *smirks*
<Colephantus> You could help me.
<Colephantus> But now looks where I am.
* `Em thinks a moment, then frowns.
<Colephantus> Knee deep in Motenk poo.
<`Em> It's scary how often people fall into both of those categories.
* Snipe pauses, shifting some.
* Colephantus looks down at the ground.
<Colephantus> Wonder how much longer we have till the Motenk show up?
<Snipe> Well, after your jinx just now...?
* Colephantus smirks "I'd say 3 hours?"
<Snipe> Hmmm, now. 6As he says this, a hologram of Dias with a badly painted on monster face appears, growling.
* Colephantus looks to the hologram.
<Colephantus> Whats this?
<Snipe> A Motenk!
<Colephantus> ......Your kidding right?
* `Em laughs!
<Snipe> No, no. Don't you see the evil?
* Colephantus smacks himself in the forehead, "Sometimes I think you have too much free time."
<`Em> *nods* That's putting it lightly.
* Snipe turns the hologram off.
<Snipe> Idle hands. I'll be sleeping in my room. Night
* Snipe waves, walking off.
* Colephantus nods.
<`Em> Hey! You better not complain afterwards.
