<Ire> NRP: Sure.
<Dahok> Smell like bleach?
<Kio> 14"...."

<Dahok> That brings up a good question...Why doesn't his clothes whiten when he sweats?
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle zooms onto land, flying across desert*
* Pope steals a glance of Eve stretching out of the corner of his eye
<Ire> <Wind> We're coming up on Mega City, folks.
<Kio> 14"Mega city..shit.."
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: *assumes since he has had a majorly long RPin apscence that his char is no more*
<Ire> NRP: He isn't dead, but he isn't exactly on Ire's favorite list.
* Eve takes a comb to her hair, grooming herself as she waits.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: so he wouldnt be with yous guys?
<Ire> NRP: Nope.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: why he not liked by the Ire?'
<Ire> NRP: After his little vanishing stunt in 183, Ire would probably shoot him on sight.
<Kio> NRP: Shittay
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: O.o
<Dahok> NRP: He'll be fine.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: Vanishing stunt?????
<Ire> NRP: Yes. You asked Ire to join in a mission, then you never RPed another action the entire session
* Pope pulls a cigarette out of his jaket pocket and lights up inside the confines of the cramped shuttle
* Dahok coughs
* Eve begins to cough herself.
* Ire inhales the smoke, still asleep.
<Kio> 14"Dammit..i spent most of my life running from mega city..now i get stuffed on this shuttle heading right back.."
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle passes through a simulator barrier, now flying across green pastures*
<Eve> Why are you *cough* running from Mega City, Kio? *waves her hand at the smoke*
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: oh that....well umm i was draged away from the comp :P))
<Kio> 14"..long story.."
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 is some random place wonding whats going on
<Eve> Don't care to share it, hm? *she surmises*
<Kio> 14"One of those things people don't like to be open about.."
* Eve nods with understanding, and presses no more. She instead gives Pope the evil eye.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 his eyes flicker a moment as he trys to locate everyone
* Pope continues to smoke, seemingly oblivious to the others' health in the shuttle
* Terra` tries NOT to breathe in smoke
<Kio> 2Tries to snatch the ciggarete from popes mouth and throw it to the ground 14"Can we not smoke in confined spaces please?"
<Terra`> Better you than me
<Ire> GM: *the small air space is rapidly becoming populated with the smoke*
* Dahok checks his bandages
* Pope stops, gives Kio a stone cold stare, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out another cigarette. "Do that again and you'll pull back a bloody stump, you halfwit."
<Terra`> ... don't you dare light another!
<Kio> 14"You ignite a ciggarete and i won't hesitate to unpin a grenade to end the suffering.."
<Terra`> Ah.. the escalation...
<Eve> Men like to outdo each other.
<Pope> Yeah, namely yours and everyone else's on the shuttle.
<Kio> 14"I'm sure they wouldn't mind.."
<Dahok> ...I would! *raises his hand*
<Eve> I have kids to look after, pal.
<Ire> GM: *up ahead is Mega City in all it's glory*
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle begins to beep as incoming objects head their way*
<Kio> 14"Maybe i'll just do it with a pistol.." 2Grumbles and sits back
* Ire sits up in his seat.
<Dahok> So what's our plan then?
<Pope> ...Right, I'm lightin' this thing now.
* Eve leans over close to Pope, working her magic
<Eve> Poooope, would you mind not lighting that cigarrete right now?
<Terra`> NRP: <Eve> Pick a card, any card
* Kim[AWAY] is now known as Silouette
<Kio> 2Reaches over to his belt
<Ire> GM: *up ahead is five fighters, spreading out in a V shape formation*
<Pope> Considerin' the fact we've got incomin' bogies...I'm gonna light this, and I'm gonna smoke it, 'cause if we go down, I'm sure as hell gettin' a thrill first.
<Silouette> *from the back* ......aren't you supposed to save that until after your ass is pulled from the fire...?
<Ire> <Wind> Hang on. *jerks the shuttle out of the firing range of the fighters and cuts in at an angle*
* Pope lights his cigarette definately.
<Eve> Huh. *she shrugs* Guess he's...
<Kio> 14"Ug.."
<Pope> Don't feel bad, luv, I'm British, that sort of thing don't work well on us.
<Kio> 14"Someone needs to nuke the british off the map indefinately.."
* Terra` smacks Kio
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle goes into a spin, cutting over the enemy fighters and zooms toward the cithy*
<Terra`> What was that?!
<Pope> ...That was already tried, you wanker.
<Kio> 2Gets smacked before sighing to himself..why did he take them up on the offer of joining the team
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle flies into the city, flying over the roads. The fighters zoom in behind them*
* Pope grips the armrest. "I don't like this ride, lemme off at the next corner..."
<Ire> <Wind> Feel free to jump
<Ire> GM: *with that, the shuttle takes a jerk to the right, cutting down another street*
<Pope> Christ, I come back 'cause I think I'll be safer 'ere, and I'm in more danger of my life than with the damn copycat..
* Ire glances at Pope.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, the fighters break off their attack*
<Silouette> ....never a dull moment...
<Kio> 14"Scared are we?...shame"
<Ire> Alright. Our objective is to find McCabe, retrieve him, and then get out.
* Ire grabs his rifle and slides over to the ramp.
* Ire opens the ramp, glancing down at the street as it rushes by.
* Silouette gets up, adjusting her sword belt as she follows Ire out
* Pope sighs and unbuckles his seatbelt. "Bloody yanks..."
* Pope follows after Ire and Sil
* Dahok starts walking towards the ramp
<Ire> GM: *the shuttle begins to approach Slasher's building*
<Kio> 2Gets up shifting his rifles 14"What does this guy look like?"
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, a defense cannon rises from the building, arming itself*
<Silouette> ....someone handle that...
<Ire> GM: *it fires at the shuttle, clipping the left ring faster than Wind can dodge*
<Ire> (wing)
<Pope> Too late.
<Ire> GM: *the cannon fires them with almost scarcy accurracy, firing again and hitting the shuttle once more*
<Dahok> Time to get out...
* Ire falls down the ramp as the shuttle jerks. He grips the handle.
* Pope shrugs and steps up to the edge of the ramp. "End of the line, kids."
<Kio> 14"Yeah, good idea!"
* Pope dives out
<Ire> <Wind> Hang on! *flies over the roof of the building*
* Ire lets go, falling to the roof. He lands roughly on his legs.
* Dahok hops out landing on the roof, he falls to his feet instantly
* Eve dives out of the shuttle and falls to the roof. She flips herself and lands on her feet.
* Terra` follows Eve down
* Silouette slides off the ramp, landing nimbly on the roof.
<Ire> GM: *the cannon fires again, blasting out the engine on the shuttle, causing fire*
* Dahok drops to his knees
<Dahok> Gah...
* Ire looks back up at the shuttle.
<Kio> 2Falls out after them, he however doesn't have a perfect landing and lands upon his side with a thud
<Dahok> NRP: *watches as Pope, who jumped to early, hits the ground with a slpat*
<Ire> <Wind> ... *jerks the shuttle downward toward the ground as another shot hits the back of the shuttle. It spins out of control and out of sight. Moments later an explosion is seen*
<Pope> NRP: <pope> *sprouts wings and flies away*
<Kio> 14"..nothing like a face full of concrete to top off the day.."
* Dahok pushes himself up to his feet and grimaces
<Ire> GM: *a laser grid forms a giant cross on the roof*
* Ire glances around them
* Pope reaches over his back and pulls out his trust, ol' shotgun
<Eve> ....what is this..?
<Kio> 2Gets up looking around 14"Something not good..thats what!"
<Pope> Aim for the emitters!
<Ire> GM: *the cross begins to move in a clock-wise circle*
* Silouette moves with the grid, not wanting to get all cut up over this
* Dahok moves with the grid also
* Ire follows the lasers, looking at the door over in the right hand corner.
* Pope puts his eye to the barrel of the gun, looking for any sign of the laser projectors
<Kio> 2Follows suit
<Ire> GM: *the laser projector seem to be in the center, but it's hard to see*
* Eve moves with the laser.
* Pope fires into the center
<Ire> GM: *the laser grid explodes and deactivates*
* Pope reloads
<Dahok> ...To the door.
<Silouette> ...nice shot.
* Garland has joined #taw
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, a piotless mech flies up*
<Pope> I try.
<Pope> Oh lordy.
* Ire turns around, heying the mech
<Ire> ...Chip.
<Kio> 14"Don't happen to know how to shoot one of those down.."
<Ire> GM: *the mech fires five missiles at the roof*
* Garland is now known as Junior
* Pope curses and starts sprinting for the door
* Silouette flips backwards, landing low with one hand on her swordhilt.

* Dahok hops back and slides across the roof
<Ire> GM: *another missile hits the door, blowing it up*
<Ire> GM: *another missile flies in low at Sil and Dahok*
* Terra` ... stops, and fires on the mech
* Pope flies back, rolling acrsos the rooftop
<Kio> 2Jumps out of the way of the missle explosions and hits the edge of the building.
* Ire glances at the ground.
* Eve leaps on one missile and flips off of it, letting it fly into the roof before her.
* Silouette darts towards the mech and jumps over the missile
* Kio moves his rifle before him and begins to aim carefully. He unleashes an explosive round torward the head of the mech..hoping to knock out its visual sensors.
<Ire> Mech: *fires a flamethrower at Sil*
<Ire> Mech: *is hit and knocked back*
* Ire begins to lose his grip on the roof.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 has been having a frustrating time locating the group but sees the mass explosions and heads over to checketh them out
* Pope staggers to his feet and raises his gun up, aiming for the head of the mech
* Silouette slides low, and throws a trio of blades up at the thrusters on the back
* Pope fires at the mech while moving across the roof
* Kio looks down seeing ire. He quickly moves one hand off his gun to grab one of his hands 14"Oh no you don't"
* Dahok is hit by the explosion from the missile and is tossed across the roof, he slides to the roofs edge
<Ire> Mech: *is knocked again, spinning backwards. It pauses, then charges a plasma cannon*
* Ire looks up at Kip, then nods, using Kio to pull himself up
<Ire> Thank you.
* Junior hovers into view with his one-man ship.
* Pope tries to fire on teh plasma cannon
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 reaches the massive building and attempts to contact anyone that might have a comlink "hello anyone copy?"
<Ire> GM: *the defense cannon fires at Junior with startling accuracy - good enough to take out Wind earlier*
* Silouette throws another pair of blades, aiming for the power conduits on the cannon
* Kio grimaces slightly before aiming torward the charging plasma cannon. He reloads the grenade launcher and attempts to unleash another round, this one aimed to fly into the barrel of the cannon and explode..hopefully causing an overload?
<Ire> GM: *the blasts hit the cannon and cause it to ooverload, blowing half the mech up*
* Dahok slides off the edge, he throws his hand down and grabs the edge as he falls over it
* Junior rolls to the side, not caring about g-forces as he fires a ion missile at the mech
<Ire> GM: *the mech is then hit by the missile, goes dead, and plummets 70 stories toward Shadow*
<Dahok> NRP: Guess that means JR's a better pilot than Wind.
* Eve grabs Dahok and throws him back on the roof.
* Dahok hits the roof and slides across it
<Dahok> Thanks Eve...
* Dahok pushes himself up again
<Junior> NRP: I never said I successfully dodged, only rolled.
* Kio lets out a sigh of relief 14"I hate this city"
<Ire> Chip is obviously not pleased with our appearance.
<Dahok> He probably thinks we're here to harm Slasher.
* Dahok pushes himself up
* Junior lands on the roof, jumping out.
* Eve grabs the ruins of the door and begins to throw them aside, revealing the stairs.
<Pope> Is anybody ever pleased with us?
* Dahok makes his way over to the stairs
* Pope follows after th group
<Silouette> ...not usually...
* Silouette sticks along

<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 COMM: HELLO anyone read me?....Damn *heads into the building
* Terra` takes a deep breath and follows the group
<Ire> GM: *the building security is in chaos, and doesn't even notice Shadow. It seems cleaning droids are chasing people out*
* Ire reaches the door to the floor and opens it, stepping out into the hallway.
* Eve follows after the group.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 takes out his plasma pistol and starts to shoot the disturbed cleaning droids as he makes his way up the stair
* Ire waves his handgun around, eyeing the hallway.
<Ire> McCabe's office is nearby.
<Junior> Eve. *glances to her* I sure hope you're ready to 'persuade' Slasher. We have to be prepared for a worst-case scenario.
<Eve> I'll try. Lets hope he doesn't have British in him.
<Pope> Then we get 'im drunk.
<Dahok> NRP: Or Chiere.
* Ire stops at McCabe's office and kicks in the door, glancing around. It's empty.
<Kio> 14"Ug.." 2Twitches at the mention of that name.
<Junior> NRP: Well, Garland did resist Eve way back when.
<Dahok> Strike 1 eh?
<Dahok> NRP: We think he was gay at the time.
* Junior glances into the office.
* Ire looks around it, seeing no disturbance.
* Terra` looks inside too
<Pope> Well..this was a short trip.
<Junior> McCabe? You in here?
<Ire> ... Slasher's office.
* Pope eyes the hallway
* Ire steps back out, heading down the hallway.
<Cheryl> NRP: Even I have problems resisting her. He must have been gay.
<Dahok> NRP: Hah.
<Ire> NRP: AAAH
<Junior> NRP: That's his perogative.
* Junior shakes his head and follows Ire.
* Ire stops in front of Slasher's doors. He kicks in the doors and walks in.
* Cheryl has joined #taw
<Pope> I don't like this. We just waltzed in 'ere, and those cleanin' droids aren't payin' us a lick of attention.
* Ire begins to turn his gun around, thinking he hears something in the office.
<Ire> GM: *a cleaning droid drives past Pope, chasing a secretary*
* Terra` looks over
<Pope> ...Lucky droid.
* Junior takes point for Ire, covering his flank
* Kio completely stops, deciding best not to approach that far
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 walks into a hallway on the 10th floor scaning for anyone that isnt umm crazed
* Dahok waits in the hall, his arms crossed
* Eve steps into the office.
<Ire> GM: *the 10th floor looks empty. All the fun is on the 70th*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 *notes this in his scaners and head up the remaining 60 floors*
<Ire> ...someone's in here.
* Ire scans Slasher's office.
<Pope> NRP: Ah, shit, it's the Predator!
* Ire moves around the office, holding his handgun out
* Terra` follows Ire
* Pope stays out in the hallway, keeping point
<Ire> ... Slasher. Come out. *he calls, his voice edgy*
* Eve stands in the doorway.
* Cheryl steps out of the corner she was hidden in, and punches Ire in the face. "Sorry, he's not in at the moment. Here's a message."
* Ire falls back onto the floor.
* Kio remains in the hallway himself
* Ire loses his handgun, which slides under the desk'
* Junior raises his gun and aims at Cheryl.
<Eve> Cheryl?!
<Junior> Step down, we're not here to fight you or Slasher.
<Cheryl> *shrugs* "Since when did I follow orders?"
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 finnaly reaches the "fun" and looks fer the peeps
* Junior cocks the gun. "Don't test me. If you won't take the time to hear us out, I have no choice but to stop you."
* Ire rolls onto his side, reaching for the handgun under the desk
<Terra`> NRP: Feeling lightheaded. x.x
<Kio> 14"Who the hell?" 2Quickly turns torward shadow taking aim
* Pope pokes his head into the office
<Eve> Don't make us fight you, Cheryl.
<Pope> What the bloody 'ell's the 'oldup in 'ere?
<Dahok> NRP: Kick his ass Cheryl!
<Cheryl> *shrugs a little and moves to step on Ire's hand* "Really now... With that peashooter?"
<Ire> Argh..
<Pope> Oh bloody wonderful...*takes aim at Cheryl from across the room and fires*
<Pope> Warnin' shot, luv, next one's a love tap! *holds his pistol ready*
* Cheryl ducks down behind the desk, and grabs Ire around the neck.
* Junior fires the gun at the floor infront of her. "It's not the size that counts."
<Ire> Urk
* Eve advances on Cheryl, holding her hands up in a fighting position.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: where on the 70th floor is everyone :P
<Ire> NRP: Kio is aiming at you, so if you can't see him, you're blind.
* Cheryl picks up Ire's gun in her other hand and gets up, seeing Eve advance, "Oooh... You want to play again, do you?"
* Kio turns torward the gunfire in the room..then shadow 14'Ug..this is a bad situation.."
<Pope> Put 'im down! I shure as 'ell don't miss, you bint!
<Eve> I could go a few rounds.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: *HAS 10 OTHER THINGS GOING ON AT ONCE! head explodes*
<Dahok> NRP: Then cut off 9 other things
<Junior> Eve, you can handle the bitch?
<Eve> Leave her to me. Find McCabe.
<Junior> Right.
* Pope tries to keep a steady bead on Cheryl's head
* Junior turns and looks elsewhere.
<Kio> 14"Hey we have company out here!"
<Cheryl> "Really now... Alright then. Hey Brit, Catch." *throws Ire's gun at him, though not TOO hard*
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 sees Kio aiming at him "whoa dude im on your side" raises his hands to show he isnt a threat
<Pope> Dammit...*drops his bead and catches teh gun*
<Ire> NRP: *Shadow is wearing a "I love Mega City shirt. Kio fires*
* Ire takes deep breaths, waiting for Cheryl to drop her defenses.
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: -_-;;;
* Eve handsprings toward Cheryl.
* Junior moves to kick the bookcase over, thinking someone like Slasher keeps a secret passage.
<Kio> 14"As if.."
<Cheryl> "Oh, while you're at it, take this one too." *grabs Ire by the collat and throws him over the table towards those at the door*
<Ire> GM: *the bookcase reveals...nothing*

* Cheryl hops back, kicking the deskchair towards Eve
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: Kio your talking to me right?
<Kio> NRP: Yes
* Pope 'catches' Ire, and by 'catches' I mean, 'gets plowed over by the flying hostage'
* Eve flips over the deskchair, spinning in the air, and landing on the ground.
* Ire grunts in pain as they come to a stop.
<Ire> GM: *Junior would notice a staircase that isn't part of the main starcase*
* Dahok looks down at Ire and Pope
<Dahok> Someone got womanhandled.
<Pope> Oh, me fuckin' back...
* Cheryl moves forward, aggressively trying to sweep Eve's feet out from under her as she lands
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 "damn it whats a guy gotta do now adays to show he isnt a threat...i mean god.." keeps his hands up with no weapons in them
* Eve is swept, falling back onto the ground. She throws out a hand to soften the impact.
<Silouette> ....I think you just got dumped boss...
* Ire rolls off Pope and gets to his feet.
<Ire> Ha...*grips his shoulder, then looks at Kio and Shadow*
* Kio grimaces before breaking his aim off shadow and runs into the room allowing ire to handle the situation, aiming his rifle at cheryl 14"Give me a reason.."
* Cheryl rolls her shoulders, loosening up some. "You're not taking me by surprise like you did last time."
* Junior follows these secret stairs.
* Eve flips backwards onto her feet.
* Slasher has joined #taw

* Pope stands up and tosses Ire his gun
* Ire grabs his gun, eyeing Cheryl with murder in his eyes.
<Dahok> Great now we lost Jr...
* Ire aims the handgun at Shadow.
<Ire> You.
<Junior> Comm: Ire, found some secret stairs. I'm checking them out
* Eve throws a roundhouse kick at Cheryl.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 follows Kio then stops as Ire speaks and goes wide eyed
<Pope> Whoa, whoa! *puts his hand on Ire's gun* Bigger fish & chips to fry, mate.
<Ire> ...
* Ire coughs, then aims at Cheryl.
<Dahok> Eve's got her handled boss.
<Ire> GM: *Junior arrives at an electrified door*
* Cheryl slams her arm into Eve's ankle and moves in to punch Eve in the gut.
<Pope> We've gotta find the boss-man.
* Junior looks at the door and shakes his head.
<Kio> 14"Can i just shoot her?"
<Silouette> ...let's find the others...
* Eve brings her hand down on Cheryl's punch, knocking it off aim, then swings her other fist at Cheryl's jaw.
<Ire> ...Junior said he fuond a secret staircase.

<Ire> The last time you offered help, Shadow, you vanished without a trace.
<Junior> Comm> Keep the the left.
* Kio seemingly totally going unanswered, he unleashes a single round, it would whiz and attempt to hit cheryle in the right knee cap..unless of course stopped.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 "then let me redeem myself..."
<Cheryl> "Are you getting rusty now? Come on, you're in better shape than that."
* Pope slides into the office, keeping well to the wall and out of the fight's reach
<Eve> I don't want to hury you, Cheryl.
* Silouette starts searching the left side of the room
<Dahok> NRP: I thought it was in the stairwell
<Ire> GM: *they discover the secret staircase that Junior found*

* Ire stops at the dented door.
<Ire> Electrified.
* Dahok looks at them
<Pope> All right, all right, stand back.
* Junior moves aside, "By all means, Pope."
* Pope cocks his shotgun in one hand, then puts the barrel just out of reach of the electricity, then fires
* Cheryl takes the hit and tumbles. She looks up at Eve, rubbing the side of her face. "You take any opening, don't you. Why doesn't that surprise me at all."
<Eve> It's the Tsivrixsh in me.
<Ire> GM: *the door falls in, revealing ... Slasher!*
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the second the door is busted open a jolt of electricity arcs into Jr., enough to cause pain*

<Ire> <Chip> I'm afraid I can't let you hurt Slasher.
<Ire> Chip.
* Pope hits the floor on his back, then looks up at teh ceiling to see the guns
* Junior lowers his gun.
<Pope> Shite shite shite
* Pope fires up at the lasers
<Slasher> Chip stop it now!
<Junior> Slasher, don't listen to Chip. You've been fooled.
* Ire looks at Slasher, murder in his eyes, then watches all hall break loose.
* Slasher quickly begins typing on the computer
* Cheryl ducks under Eve's Leg and shoulder checks her.
<Terra`> Chip's bloody well working for Janus...
<Ire> GM: *one of the laser cannons are hit. The second one fires at Ire*
<Pope> Scatter!
* Eve is knocked back, landing on Slasher's back on her back.
* Junior tackles Ire out of the way
* Ire is knocked out of the way.
<Terra`> Hell, he is Janus..
<Ire> Shadow! argh...take out those cannons!
* Pope reloads and fires at the second laser
<Ire> GM: *Laser Cannon 2 and 3 fires at Pope*
* Silouette throws a pair of blades at one of the turrets, ready to jump out of the way.
* Terra` aims at laser 3
* Dahok stays outside the room
<Ire> GM: *laser Cannon 2 blows up*
* Junior flicks on his sabre and leaps at the cannon, slashing.
* Pope 's eyes pop wide as he rolls along the floor
<Ire> GM: *Laser Cannon 3 and 4 aim at Junior as he laeps, firing. 3 is destroyed*
* Kio hears the gunfire and rushes in..quickly he begins to fire torward the remaining laser cannons, expending each round in his clip
* Junior spins to 4, ready to try blocking with his sabre
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 dives for cover as he fires at each cannon multiple times
* Terra` moves to aim at 4, firing
<Ire> GM: *Laser Cannon 4 is damaged by Kio, then destroyed by Sahdow*
<Ire> GM: *the attacks end*
* Pope sprawls out on the floor, panting
* Kio reloads his clip and aims at slasher
<Pope> I should've stayed in Liverpool...
<Ire> McCabe: Well, welcome. *steps out of a side room*
<Slasher> You fucking idiots...I had the defenses handled and you take me out...
<Silouette> ......
* Junior aims his gun back at Slasher.
* Ire aims at Slasher, too, taking deep breaths
<Kio> 14"Does anyone care to..inform me..?"
<Junior> You're expendible now. Shut up for a moment before you berate us.
<Pope> Funny, considerin' we were still being fuckin' SHOT AT!
<Slasher> Pull that trigger Jr. and you'll be lucky if a single cell leaves this building.
* Junior glances to McCabe. What did you tell him?
<Ire> Destroy Chip, Slasher.
<Ire> <McCabe> I told him about Chip's conversation with us.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 "Ok seriously Why are we attacikign the Pres?"
* Junior nods.
* Slasher continues furiously typing on the computer
<Ire> The President here made a truce with the enemy. And the enemy is controlled by the PResident's own computer.
<Junior> It goes deeper than that. Slasher, if I kill you it may not even matter.
* Eve pushes herself up into a sitting position on the desk
<Slasher> You kill me...You'll have my son, his wife, my lover and they're kids to deal with.
<Kio> 14"I can deal with that.." 2Puts a finger on the trigger
<Slasher> ...*mutters under his breath* Chip....
<Junior> I've never killed anyone, Slasher and you know it. *holsters his gun* But Ire has.
<Cheryl> *walks over slowly* "You like to do your work laying down, doing you?"
* Pope pats his gun. "And I've come damn close."
<Slasher> Call my lover a bitch agani Jr. and you'll have to deal with my other side.
* Eve flips off the desk and behind Cheryl. She tries to elbow her in the kidney.
<Junior> Call Cheryl off of Eve, first and foremost.
<Eve> I use anything as a weapon in a fight.
<Junior> Now cut your bullshit and tell us what you're doing.
<Slasher> They're fine.
* Ire looks like he could pull the trigger.
<Junior> Ire. *glances to him*
<Slasher> Are you that god damn dumb kid?
<Slasher> You think I'm typing for my own health?
<Junior> That's not what I asked.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 "i see" points his pistol at the door incase peeps that aint kool with Ire's plan come
<Ire> And just...WHAT are you doing...?
<Kio> 14"Can i shoot him..?" 2Never did like slasher..
<Slasher> What I am trying to do is deal with Chip.
* Cheryl rolls with the hit, then pushes forward as she hits the ground, slamming her feet into Eve's stomach as she pushes herself back up
* Pope looks at Shadow, then at the group. "Who in the 'ell is that, anyway?"
* Junior rests his hand on Ire's wrist.
* Eve is hit in the stomach. She winces, then growls, trying to hammerblow the side of Cheryl's head.
* Ire lowers his handgun slowly.
<Junior> He's already not doing us any good.
<Slasher> This is my fault and I'm trying to deal with it. You make your judgements on me without knowing the full story.
* Cheryl grabs Eve's wrists, and kicks out her legs.
<Junior> What are you talking about, Slasher? We came here to warn you--granted we had to do it defensively because as far as we knew you still saw us as the enemy.
<Shadow_Mardonas> 10<ォ 5Shadow10サ>14 glances at Pope "Im Shadow.." resumes his watch on the door
<Pope> Well that's....not very enlightening...
* Eve hits the floor, once again on her back, but swings her arms, trying to bring Cheryl down with her.
<Junior> Now you need to take a step back and reconsider your words, because you're not helping the situation by berating your potential allies.
<Ire> <McCabe> Slasher has been trying to get Chip to stop since he found out.
<Slasher> You didn't have to warn me about anything Hianule, I've always been cautios about everything.
<Slasher> Thank you McCabe.
<Junior> Obviously not.
<Ire> <McCabe> He won't listen, though, when I tell him it's too late.
* Junior nods to McCabe. "You did good."
* Cheryl trys to pull free, but didn't account for Eve's strength, and tumbles.
* Junior glances to Ire.
* Eve flips up and onto her back, starting to get angry.
* Slasher punches the computer keyboard, his hand going through it
* Junior looks back, hearing the crashing. "I'll go break them up..."
<Slasher> I advise otherwise Jr.
* Junior glances back.
<Junior> Why?
* Ire looks at Slasher, all respect lost for the man.
<Cheryl> *sitting on the floor* "Going to go all red eye now?"
* Eve rushes forward, throwing a kick at Cheryl's face.
<Slasher> You obviously know nothing about woman.
<Junior> Is that the only reason?
<Ire> ....
<Shadow_Mardonas> NRP: hate my parents....
<Ire> McCabe, we're going.
<Slasher> Go ahead, take a chance of getting hurt.
<Junior> Is it?
<Ire> <McCabe> Going where?
<Ire> Junior's shuttle.
* Cheryl grabs Eve's leg, and pushes her off balance.
<Junior> Eve, Cheryl! Cut it out!
* Junior jogs back over to them.
<Slasher> It's a shame though....
<Kio> 14"Hell i'll do it.." 2Turns around and takes aim at cheryle
* Shadow_Mardonas is now known as Shadow|dishes
<Junior> We're done here. Cheryl, your 'husband' is fine.
<Slasher> I expected you kids to have freed more zones than just one.
<Kio> *cheryl*
<Junior> Kio, no.
* Eve tries to go for Cheryl's throat.
<Junior> Eve.
* Junior glares at her.
* Ire grabs McCabe, heading for the area where the fighting is going on
<Kio> ...
* Eve stops her hand.
<Junior> We're leaving, stat.
* Eve steps away from Cheryl.
* Dahok turns and walks after the others
* Junior holsters his gun and heads for the roof.
<Cheryl> "Hmph..." *gets up*
<Ire> <McCabe> *follows Junior up to the roof*
<Cheryl> *looks to Eve with no anger at all* "We should do that again some time."
* Slasher steps into the office
<Kio> ..heh damn..not everyday the opportunity to shoot the president arises.." 2Follows the crew
<Eve> Yeah. Sure. *she bows slightly, following after Junior*
<Slasher> You kids have fun? *looks at Eve and Cheryl*
* Junior presses a button in his cuff, a shuttle landing on the roof.
* Cheryl waves.
* Eve flips Slasher off.
* Ire looks back at Slasher
* Junior looks to Slasher and shakes his head. "You know nothing about women, obviusly."
<Slasher> UHh..*looks at Eve hurt*
<Ire> Chip is going to die.
<Slasher> No more about them than you kid.
* Ire walks up tot he roof.
<Ire> <Chip> Am I now...?
* Terra` starts for the shuttle quietly
<Junior> I've got more important things on my mind than women.
* Silouette heads after Ire, wondering who owes Chip more payback of the team.
<Slasher> Like boys?
<Junior> *The shuttle ramp opens up* Everyone on.
* Slasher turns and heads over to Cheryl
* Ire steps onto the roof. He bends down, pulling out a small device. He plants it on the roof, beginning to activate it.
<Ire> <McCabe> *Gets on the shuttle*
<Dahok> NRP: wasn't this a one man ship before or is it a diff one
<Cheryl> "Sorry about the office."
* Silouette glances at Ire, then gets on the shuttle.
<Junior> NRP: Different one. Note I fly a one-manned vessel. This is a shuttle.
* Dahok hops otno the shuttle
* Eve gets onto the shuttle.
<Slasher> It happens...I think we need to go, Ire's intent on taking out Chip, and he no doubt planted an explosive.
* Ire taps the button, a countdown beginning
* Ire runs over and leaps on Junior's shuttle.
* Terra` hops onto the shuttle
* Kio steps onto the roof then heads for the shuttle smirking 14"Damn...." 2Takes a seat and looks down, thinking
* Junior steps onto the shuttle finally, he looks to Slasher. "Staying or going?"
<Cheryl> "Well, like that would do a lot of good..."
<Slasher> NRP: They're in the office still.
<Junior> NRP: Your loss. :p
<Slasher> NRP: I'm just lettin ya know.
* DeathStar has joined #Taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
* DeathStar steps up behind Slasher.
* Junior signals to the pilot and they start to pull away from the building.
* Slasher looks behind him
<DeathStar> I never thought I'd see your empire fall.
<Slasher> It was inevitable.
* DeathStar circles Slasher.
<Slasher> I planted the seed years ago by trusting someone I thought was a good friend.
<Cheryl> "Hey, it's tall, dark and angsty. How've you been?"
* Pope looks around. "Someone wanna tell me who that bloke is?"
<DeathStar> You've grown too static, Slasher.
* Slasher nods
* DeathStar nods to Cheryl, offering a faint smile.
<Slasher> NRP: They are in the office!!!
* Junior sits on the shuttle, looking around as it rises into the upper atmosphere.
<Pope> NRP: Damn, got lost in the jumble. ><
<DeathStar> You should have gone with them.
<Slasher> NRP: Happens
<Slasher> I can't leave my love here.
<DeathStar> Cheryl is more resourceful than youare.
<Cheryl> "Well, finally! Someone awknowledges that."
<Slasher> More true than ever, but I still stand by her side.
<Junior> Sorry I didn't get a more grandiose reception crew for our pickup, this was all we had. *looks to Ire*
<Kio> 14"On the bright side..i got a couple fighting tips in that cat fight.." 2Chuckles
<Ire> It's okay.
<Ire> Bring up a viewscreen of Mega City will you
<Slasher> Have a shuttle nearby?
<DeathStar> I have better.
* Junior tacks on the Chiere interface, bringing up a hologram.
* DeathStar holds out both hish ands and touches Slasher and Cheryl.
<Slasher> I expect nothign less from you.
* Junior stands and looks to the others.
<Cheryl> "Always one for the last minutes saves. I see what sis likes in him."
<Junior> What the hell happened back there? We come to help him and he spits in our faces.
* Ire glances at his counter
<Ire> Well, in 30 seconds, it'll be a moot point.
<Ire> <Chip> This isn't over, Death Star.
<DeathStar> See you in Paradise, Chip
<Dahok> You had a funny way of helping him. Pope here knocks him over.
<Pope> He shot at Junior.
* Junior glances to Dahok.
* DeathStar teleports Cheryl and Slasher onto Junior's vessel.
<Junior> I didn't see you doing better.
* Ire whips around.
<Junior> And yes, he attacked me first.
<Dahok> Ain't got any guns and I'm still not upto par.
<Kio> 14"O-oh shit!!" 2He immediatly aims his rifle at the pair
<Dahok> From what I understood you did call his wife a bitch.
<Pope> Someone shoots at my mates, I go in swingin'
* DeathStar steps back and vanishes again, heading back into the building.
* Slasher looks around
* DeathStar grabs Shadow from the floor, shaking his head, and teleports. Moments later, the entire building explodes, taking out the computer network there
<Ire> ...Slasher.
* Junior looks to Dahok once, "Grow up."
<Dahok> Eh.
* Junior glances to Ire.
* DeathStar has left #Taw
<Junior> Chip's not dead. You know that.
<Cheryl> "Hmm... DS is outsourcing in his rescues. He's getting old."
<Junior> That AI is still everywhere.
<Ire> I know.
<Terra`> We'll just have to take him out, bit by bit
<Slasher> Heh...*looks at the others, then at McCabe* Think we should tell them of our original plan...before Chip became the main target?
<Junior> You blew for the reason I think you did, didn't you?
<Ire> <McCabe> I think, sir, you better win their trust back.
<Slasher> Can't win something back they don't seem willing to give.
* Ire gives Junior a slight nod.
* Cheryl takes a seat, lounging like she owns the place.
* Junior smirks slightly.
<Ire> <McCabe> *says nothing more to Slasher*
* Junior sits back and looks to the others.
* Slasher crosses his arms, thousands of thoughts passing through his head
<Junior> I guess our next step is to find Paradise.
<Dahok> So where do we go from here?
<Ire> Where is Paradise, Slasher?
* Slasher looks at Ire.
* Junior looks to Slasher also.
<Pope> My heads hurts, now. *takes a swig out of his flask*
<Slasher> If I would've known, I would've done something with long ago.
<Ire> Your computer has gone mad, Slasher. It needs to be destroyed.
<Slasher> You don't think I know this.
* Kio sits back smirking 14"Well its for the best if you guys drop me off somewhere if you want, looks like you guys got a couple better recruits..." 2Being a former anti militant..it would be hard for him to continue on with the president of mega city here.
<Slasher> Chip has...gained a skewed perspective of my goal and is doing what I was originally trying to do.
<Ire> So your original plan called for this?
<Slasher> No...
* Eve sits beside Kio
<Eve> Ready to bug out on us already?
<Slasher> My original goal was to terraform Earth and bring it back to it's illustrious state.
<Pope> What, again?
<Kio> 14"The current party and my past don't coincide.."
<Eve> Sometimes I learn you have to let go of your past if you're going to make a better future.
<Slasher> You doubt know this when you looked at my financial records.
<Cheryl> "Oh, boo hoo. Cry me a river."
<Slasher> NRP: no doubt
<Junior> When where's this spin coming from? Terraforming is one thing, but researching the undead and all this genetic research doesn't work in well with that.
<Junior> NRP: *Then where
<Slasher> I think...This is only a theory now. That he's trying to terraform Earth...but he plans on using the Paradise System to do so.
* kaos` has quit IRC (Quit: Best file compression around: "DEL *.*" = 100% compression)
<Kio> 14"Sometimes the past carves us into who we are..forgetting such would be dishonerable to those within it.."
<Junior> He made it quite clear his intention was to expand himself.
<Silouette> ....how can a hologram terraform anything...?"
<Eve> Well, if I can't change your mind, it was good having you while it lasted, Kio
<Slasher> Look at all 6 of the remaining zones. They're simulations.
<Slasher> If anyone recalls this whole planet was like that.
* Kio just sighs and leans forward, rubbing his eyes with his hands
<Junior> You dodged teh question.
<Slasher> What question?
* Ire stands there, thinking
<Kio> 14"You have a very blunt way of putting things.."
<Eve> Huh? *she looks at Kio*
<Junior> ...
* Slasher runs his hands through his hair
<Cheryl> "Personally, I like Siberia better now, than it was before they trashed Earth."
<Junior> How does all this undead and genetic research work in!?
<Cheryl> "Atleast it pretends not to be a wasteland now."
* Junior looks irritated at Slasher's apathy.
<Slasher> You didn't phrase it in a question.
<Ire> Slasher. Answer him.
* Silouette listens with feined disinterest
<Kio> 14"Nothing..just speaking my mind i suppose.."
<Eve> Well, I figure if a man has made up his own mind, one should respect that.
<Slasher> Hell if I know. I only wanted what was best for my home. It's possible he was trying to work on a way where there was no death, illness, disease, famine or drought.
<Slasher> ...And what better way than to make a world where you control everything.
<Junior> Not good enough.
<Ire> GM: *Pope's comm begins to crackle as an unknown source tries to contact it*
<Ire> Where is someone who knows where Paradise is located, Slasher?
<Slasher> I didn't know I had a hurdle I had to leap.
<Kio> 14"I suppose.." 2Twitches at the words "genetic research"
<Slasher> With Jr's father passed away...There's only one left. And that is Death Star.
* Pope taps his comm
<Ire> ...Where is Death Star?
<Pope> Damn thing, think it's broke.
<Ire> <Comm> Hellooooo, Pope. I saw you came home today.
<Pope> What the...?
<Cheryl> "Well, he was on this shuttle a couple of minutes ago, or did you miss that?"
<Ire> <Comm> I'm afraid I got very excited when I saw you. I left a present for you at your old police building.
* Slasher pulls out an ordinary comm device and tosses it to Ire
<Slasher> Ask him yourself.
* Ire taps the comm.
* Pope holds up his comm. "I think my personal stalker's talkin' to me."
<Ire> ...this one isn't working. It's like the other end is shut off.
<Kio> 14"Paradise..city simulations..jeeze by the sounds of think there isn't much to go back too.." 2Smirks sarcastically
<Slasher> Then he obviously doesn't want to be found. And I respect his right of privacy.
<Ire> <Comm> Come get your present, Pope. Please?
<Cheryl> *looks at Kio* "You're knew at this, aren't you kid?"
* Slasher looks at McCabe
* Junior crosses his arms.
<Slasher> With both of us missing from MegaCity, only trouble will be found.
<Kio> 14"Yes..i was "discovered" a few days.."
<Ire> <McCabe> With Chip controlling Janus, trouble already began.
* Pope talks into the comm. "Uhhh, sure. Which 'old police building' are you talkin' about, you sociopath?"
* Ire looks at Pope
<Slasher> Moral is what I'm worried about...
<Junior> Well...
<Ire> <Comm> You knoooooow. *he whispers like it's a secret* Building 38
<Ire> <McCabe> I can go back and deal with the people, if you wish.
<Junior> Our options are limited, but I do expect that Chip will be organizing both sides to find and... neutralize us.
<Pope> <comm> Uh, right then, I'll go check that out.
<Slasher> You really think he'll take me out?
<Kio> 14"And it's not kid..i matured for the sole reason of escaping that term.."
<Ire> <Comm> Goody. *he whispers again* See you soon. *the transmission ends*
<Junior> I don't care what he does to you, Slasher.
<Junior> It's the team I'm worried about.
<Silouette> ...what a freak...
<Pope> Bloomin' psycho.
<Slasher> Then you're best bet is to keep me with you.
<Junior> I'll keep that in mind.
<Pope> Just what I need now. *shakes his head and sighs, pulling out a cigarette again*
<Ire> One thing is straight, Slasher - we aren't following your orders anymore.
<Kio> 14"..."
<Ire> We do things our way.
<Slasher> Really? You guys were doing a good job up until now.
* Junior nods with Ire.
* Pope lights the cigarette and sits there in quiet contemplation.
* Junior has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Ire stares at Junior
* Junior has joined #taw
<Cheryl> "Oh, don't worry. You'll do what we want, even if you don't realize it."
<Cheryl> "It's just the way you people are. You're soooooooo good at it too."
* Junior glances to Cheryl.
* Ire contemplates shooting her.
<Kio> 14"I say you let me shoot them both and dump them both overboard.."
<Slasher> They did follow the path pretty well didn't they?
* Eve crosses her legs, looking at Cheryl.
<Ire> On second thought, we don't need them.
<Cheryl> *nods* "They did."
<Junior> We only need Chip to think we have them.
<Ire> Junior, can you escort them to the door?
<Kio> 14"Good" 2Cocks his rifle
<Pope> We could just cut off their 'eads.
<Slasher> Cut off my head and I doubt Death Star will have anything to do with you.
<Junior> They can show themselves out. Bear in mind, Cheryl, while we need Chip to at least think we have Slasher. You're inconsequencial.
<Cheryl> *looks to Slasher* "Certainly not the most creative."
<Slasher> No they aren't.
<Terra`> Really?
<Pope> Eh, I'm sure we can manage without this 'Death Star' bloke.
<Kio> 14"Who cares about this death star really.."
<Ire> Exactly. Besides, I don't see Death Star here to help you now.
* Ire gestures for Slasher and Cheryl to leave.
<Slasher> Because I can handle myself that's why.
<Junior> ...
* Ire keeps his hand pointed at the exit.
<Junior> The two of you have obviously been corrupted by your meaningless power on that desolate planet you hold so dearly. Really, I'm shocked by the apathy of two "galactic heroes." Chip is your responcibility, and you can't just write-off any guilt just because you "tried" to stop him YOUR way.
* Kio keeps his rifle pointed at them
<Cheryl> "Too comfy. Maybe later."
<Ire> Understood. *looks at Junior* This is your ship. Any order you choose for them stands.
<Slasher> I never considered my self a hero, I did what I needed to do at the time. Society gave me that label.
<Kio> 14"Please..give me to order to shoot them.."
<Junior> One that faded with time, obviously.
* Junior stands and looks at the two of them.
* Ire walks over to Pope
* Pope smokes, stewing in thought
<Slasher> I tried to reason with him it didn't work. There's only one option left and that is to take him out.
<Ire> What will you do?
* Eve looks annoyed.
<Junior> Then I expect your cooperation.
<Kio> NRP: *Accidently presses the trigger and sets off his rifle*
<Terra`> We know we have to take him out.
<Slasher> And I have been giving you cooperation, the problem is you're expecting answers from me that I don't have.
* Pope shrugs. "He wants me to go back to Building 38, says he left a 'present' for me there."
<Ire> Will yo go?
<Ire> NRP: <Ire> Yo dwag, what up?
<Cheryl> *looks at Eve* "What? You're not still mad, are you?"
<Junior> As long as we're on the same page then.
<Slasher> I've always been on the same page, you just didn't realize it.
<Eve> I'm just beginning to see how different we all grew up to become since the war. *she offers her a faint smile to soften the blow of her words*
<Pope> I probably should, considerin' he's tryin' to kill me.
<Junior> If at any point you decide our way isn't the best way, you can suggest an alternative. However if you go AWOL, I will be forced to protect the members of this team. If that involves cohersion or force, so be it.
<Ire> Do you want me to accompany you?
<Cheryl> "Events like that shape who you are after all."
<Slasher> I'm not a fighter anylonger, if you can't realize that by looking at me than your not gonna see it through the end.
<Kio> 14"Hell..seems everyones old friends"
* Junior looks to Ire and Pope. "It will be some time before we find Paradise, you probably have time to take care of personal business if you avoid detection by Chip at all costs."
<Slasher> All I want is the best for Earth and currently Chip isn't best. Why would I go AWOL?
<Terra`> As long as you understand.
* Slasher looks at Terra
<Ire> NRP: *sniffles with pride* You guys are acting like the TGCers, back when they got into fights with each other.
* Pope looks to Ire. "I don't want to be puttin' you in 'arm's way, but if this is a trap, I'm gonna need backup."
* Ire nods.
<Ire> Then we go together
<Kio> 14"I'll tag along then i suppose?"
* Slasher shakes his head and turns back to Jr.
<Junior> I'll be the judge of that.
* Slasher looks at Jr
<Slasher> Spitting image.
<Junior> You're wrong. He would have hit you for that.
<Terra`> This must be like a family reunion for you guys
<Cheryl> "He's have hit him for nearly anything."
<Pope> Right. Into the face of death again, eh?
<Slasher> Atleast he knew to trust me when our goals were the same.
* Ire nods.
<Junior> Just another difference then.
<Cheryl> "Hell, everyone hit Slasher. It was like a past time back then."
* Junior looks to Ire.
<Slasher> Heh...Yeah, a jolly good time.
<Kio> 14'.." 2Sits back in his seat and keeps to himself
<Junior> We've got Slasher, now we need to address Skyhook.
<Cheryl> "I think Wien particularly enjoyed it..."
<Ire> Correct. While we deal with Copycat, you guys should discover what you can about it.
<Slasher> He was a sadist.
<Junior> You read my mind, Ire.
<Cheryl> "Hey, everyone has their quirks."
* Ire nods
<Ire> Lets go
<Ire> Session Ends
Session Close: Sun Sep 19 23:22:39 2004
