<DeathStar> Location: An Alliance Cruiser Enroute in Space

<Dias> NRP: HEY!
* Dias taps his fingers, double-checking to make sure their secure
* DeathStar shifts in his seat, looking uncomfortable.
* Alicia is now known as Hotaru`
* Junior crosses his arms, moving to the bridge of the cruiser.
<DeathStar> NRP: If Hotaru is around, I'm scared.
* Dias nods, happy with the mechs and turns, walking towards the elevator
<Hotaru`> NRP: Oh yeah. o.o
* DeathStar turns to look at Junior as he steps onto the bridge.
* Hotaru` is now known as Terra`
* Kio sits back in his seat, closing his eyes
<Terra`> NRP: Better. @.@
* Katrina` sighs, leaning back against a suitcase belonging to someone.
* Junior glances to DS, then moves to the helm.
* DeathStar remains silent, watching Junior, as if studying his every movement.
* Dias hops onto the elevator and takes it to the bridge
* Terra` sits quietly, thinking
* Junior glances over the equipment, as if doing a mental check of all the systems.
* Nicolai grabs the next vator to the bridge as well, to join the crowd

* DeathStar shifts, feeling as if the silence is stifling.
<Dias> ...*scratches his head confused*
* Katrina` hops off the luggage, walking around. She stops as she passes Kio.
<Nicolai> Hey, whats with the quiet?
* Dias looks over at Nicolai
* DeathStar turns in his chair to look at Nicolai.
<DeathStar> Silence is golden.
<Terra`> I'm thinking.
<Dias> Because they didn't put any alcohol on the ship.
<Nicolai> Well, we can still talk, I mean we need to do something to pass the time. right/
<Nicolai> NRP: /=?
* Kio yawns, fiddling with his knife as time passes
<Dias> I heard that Kio guys' looking for a Synchronized Dancing partner.
<Nicolai> I don't do dancing
<DeathStar> Funny, I heard Kio was planning on killing us all in our sleep.
* Katrina` sits down next to Kio
<Katrina`> Hello.
<Dias> Nah...just my old man.
<Nicolai> Well, I heard he was gonna try and take us all down Rambo style
<Terra`> Crazy guy.
<DeathStar> I figured it was just a rumor, until the entire Alliance Station began to speak about it.
<Nicolai> you know, with shotgun shells and grenades strapped to his chest
<Nicolai> But he has no shotgun, just a machine gun
<Dias> Really? I heard he had his left testicle replaced with a Lotion dispenser.
<DeathStar> You shouldn't make fun of his cyborg parts, Dias.
<Ariel> <Strife> *forms hanging from the ceiling above the crowd* ...you guys are freaks, you know that?
* Dias looks up at the metal blob
* DeathStar glances up at Strife, his face remaining neutral the entire time, as if he were perfectly serious.
<Dias> Says the shape-shifting blob.
<DeathStar> Don't talk about him.
<DeathStar> (bad about)
* Kio twitches slightly, he drives his knife into his own leg..causing it to bleed. He wipes his hand over the leg and attempts to throw blood on dias 14"Is that mechanical enough for you.."
<DeathStar> NRP: Wrong area, Kio. You and Kat are in a different part.
<Nicolai> Ewww
<Dias> NRP: True psycho.
<DeathStar> NRP: Even if it didn't count, it's the thought that matters.
* Dias looks at DS
<Dias> NRP: Yes...Thank you
<Ariel> <Strife> *drops, landing on his feet without splatting too much* I prefer to think of myself as... technologically advanced.
* Terra` blinks at Strife
<Terra`> Wow..
<Nicolai> Are you from a movie or something?
<Dias> Any idea why the Alliance President is away from his post?
<DeathStar> ....I'm sure you can ask Junior, who overheard your question.
<Dias> Well that was the whole idea.
<Terra`> NRP: I'd recognize Strife now, right?
* Junior glances over his shoulder to them.
<Kio> 14"..yo.."
<DeathStar> Ah. The joys of second hand inquries.
* DeathStar shakes his head at Dias.
<Katrina`> ...How...are you?
<Nicolai> We got some pretty cool folks on this ship
<Terra`> I didn't realise you were a.. thing. *doesn't sound insulting, just unsure of the word*
<Kio> 14"..fine, you?"
<Nicolai> Especially liquid metal over hee
<Katrina`> I'm good. *she says guardedly* You're...really quiet. You don't like to talk with the others?
<Terra`> That's so cool..
* Junior glances to Dias and steps off the bridge.
<Ariel> <Strife> Ah, well, I pride myself at my disguise ability. Handy for workin' security, y'know?
* DeathStar watches Junior go.
<Nicolai> What is....your name...umm...liquid metal person?
* Dias watches Jr. go
<Terra`> I just pride myself on my flying skills
<DeathStar> You are obviously your father's child. *he says evenly to Dias*
<Dias> Yeah well I try.
<DeathStar> Of course. *he gets up and walks off the bridge*
<Ariel> <Strife> Me? Oh, just call me Strife.
<Nicolai> Or you just ignore me
* Dias throws his hand up
<Nicolai> Oh
<Nicolai> Strife
* Dias looks for the captain of the ship
<Nicolai> Gotcha, we can be good friends strife
<Ariel> NRP: Still eating, might be a little slow ^^;
<DeathStar> GM: *there is no Captain - Junior is acting Captain*
<Kio> 14"Thats right..as far as i'm concerned..everyone is an idiot..my pet dog is smarter then these guys.."
<Dias> NRP: Ahhh/
* Katrina` smiles, a little sadly.
* Dias double takes
<Katrina`> They mean well. All of them. You should give them a chance, perhaps.
<Ariel> <Strife> As for what I am... y'know, I never learned the word for it. Too long and complex.
<Dias> Yeeaaaahh....I'm beginning to question Snipe's insight.
* DeathStar walks down the hallway, a scowl on his face.
<Nicolai> I'll just stick with Liquid Metal
<Dias> Computer, how much longer?
<Terra`> Ah, it's okay
<DeathStar> Computer: 15 mins.
<Dias> Oooh wow...What system are we going to be in?
<Kio> 14"Not really..they are way too naive to be trusted.."
<DeathStar> Computer: The U'rian System.
<Ariel> <Strife> Liquid metal works. It's accurate a lot of the time.
<Nicolai> Soooo, anyone up for a game?
<Dias> ...Did you say Urine system?
* Katrina` looks at her hands, as if trying to think of something else to say.
<Terra`> A game?
<DeathStar> Computer: No.
<Dias> Good...
<Nicolai> Yes, a game, we can play Twister, Chutes and Ladders, or the classic Truth or Dare
* DeathStar hunts for Ariel on the ship.
* Dias looks to Nicolai
<Dias> I've got a game.
<Ariel> <Strife> I should be working... but, why not?
<Dias> Let's play....Who can punch the softest.
<Kio> 14"Heh you don't need to say anymore.." 2Glances at her..noting her face
<Ariel> <Strife> Oh... I'd sooooo suck at that.
<Terra`> I don't think I could win either.
* Ariel has been keeping to her temperary quarters for the most part.
<Dias> ...You guys suck.
<Katrina`> It's not that...it's just that I don't want to offend you. I mean, you obviously keep to yourself for a reason. I just thought you'd be lonely...I know I would be.
<Nicolai> I think Truth or Dare is safer and less violent
* DeathStar stops at the quarters and knocks.
<Ariel> *looks up from her datapad* Come in..?
* Dias looks around the bridge
* DeathStar steps into the quarters.
<DeathStar> Hello, Ariel.
<Kio> 14"I've grown used to it"
<Dias> NRP: Have sex!
<Nicolai> SO, Who's in for Truth or DAre?
<Katrina`> Do you want me to leave you alone?
<Kio> 14"I don't mind..either way"
* Katrina` nods, sitting next to Kio
<Dias> Computer...Are we there yet.
<Katrina`> So, what type of things do you like?
<DeathStar> Computer: No.
<Dias> Hot bout now computer?
<Ariel> *looks up with a bit of a smile* Oh, hi DS.
<Kio> 2Like..he begins to ponder..what DOES he like? 14"I-i..have no idea"
<DeathStar> Computer: No.
<Ariel> <Strife> Truth or dare... I feel like a kid again. *grins*
<Dias> ...How bout now?
<Katrina`> Really? 6She looks surprised. "Not a clue?"
<Nicolai> Who wants to go first?
<DeathStar> Computer: No.
<Dias> Are we there yet?
* DeathStar glances around the room, then tugs at his black jacket. It seems that's his normal attire, since he never wears his classic black and blue armor anymore.
<DeathStar> Computer: No.
<DeathStar> So...what are you doing?
<Dias> Computer, what's the meaning of life?
<Terra`> NRP: Formal DS
<Kio> 14"No..i've dedicated myself to fighting..i've never had a go at a normal life.."
<DeathStar> Computer: ...
<Nicolai> Anybody?
<Nicolai> Someone Has to go first
<Katrina`> Would you like to? Have a chance at a normal life, that is.
* Dias looks back to Nicolai
<Dias> I Dare you to...Strip naked and run through the ship
<Nicolai> Oooh, sounds fun
<Ariel> Hmm, me? Oh... Just been reading, trying to relax.
<Kio> 14"That times passed.."
<Ariel> <Strife> *shakes his head in disbelief*
<DeathStar> Right. Anything good? *he shifts in place*
* Terra` just laughs
* Nicolai walks over and stands behind a panel and takes off his clothes, and throws out onto the bridge
<Katrina`> Everyone has a second chance. You shouldn't think like that.
<DeathStar> Computer: My sensors are now blinded.
<Dias> NRP: *DS looks at the books discovering that they are Dominatrix for Dummies*
<Dias> ...*looks dumbfounded*
* Nicolai raises his hands over his and waves them around, then emerges naked and does two laps around the bridge before taking off to the rest of the ship
<DeathStar> GM: *the various crew members look at him run by, then throw up*
<Dias> Ha...Hahaha....*falls over laughing his ass off*
<Ariel> *shrugs a little* Just some of the classics from home.
<Nicolai> NRP: I'm not fat and ugly
<Ariel> <Strife> *stares in disbelief*
* DeathStar tilts his head as Nicolai runs by Ariel's open door
<DeathStar> ....
<Ariel> ......
* DeathStar looks back at Ariel
<DeathStar> How classic?
<Terra`> NRP: ROFLMAO
* Nicolai keeps going heading towards the area where Kio and Kat are
<Kio> 2Naturally nicolai running naked confirms kios naive theory. 14"...and become that?"
* Katrina` turns her head and sees Nicolai. She gasps, covering her mouth with one hand.
* Dias starts rolling on his back, not able to hold his laugher in
<Ariel> Couple millenia?
* Nicolai looks at Kat, while running and trips falling on his stomach, ass in the air
* Katrina` looks away
<DeathStar> Computer: Arrival in 2 minutes.
* Nicolai hurriedly gets back to his feet and makes his way back to the bridge
<Ariel> <Strife> ...PLEASE let no one call security... *shrinks back*
<Terra`> If they do, we'll just blame it on Dias.
<Katrina`> Oh my God...
<DeathStar> Right.
* Dias pushes himself up, his face beat red from laughing so hard, he turns to Terra
* Nicolai arrives back on the bridge and gathers his clothes back and gets dressed
* DeathStar nods his head, trying to act normal.
<Kio> 2He cocks his pistol and takes aim right at nicolai..he curses as he leaves out of sight 14"See what i mean..
<Ariel> <Strife> But... it IS Dias' fault.
<Katrina`> I wish I didn't see...
<Terra`> Yeah, so why would WE get punished?
<Nicolai> That was fun
<Kio> 14"He must be on drugs.."
<Ariel> *trying to keep that image out of her mind* It's not bad... Though, the grammar is hard even for me to read.
* Dias looks over at Nicolai
<Dias> I'm beginning to like you...*pushes himself up*
<DeathStar> GM: *up ahead, an older model station is seen floating on space, looking deserted. No lights are even on*
* Katrina` looks around
<Katrina`> We're slowing down. We must be there.
* Nicolai looks out a view window and sees the deserted looking place
<DeathStar> ...we're here. I should go back to the bridge.
<Nicolai> Is THAT where we're going?
<Junior> Intercomm> We're almost there, once we arrive and dock I want all military personel to go on-board and secure the facility. We're not certain how safe it is yet.
<Dias> ...We have to 'secure' a place...Haha..
<Kio> 14'...great"
<DeathStar> GM: *a shuttle is being prepped in the hanger*
* Dias walks over to the elevator and opens it, stepping on
<Dias> You guys coming with?
* Katrina` stands up, looking at Kio
<Katrina`> Are you going to go?
* Nicolai walks over and follows dias
<Ariel> *puts her pad down reluctantly* I'll come too.
<DeathStar> Alright. It'll be like ... old times.
<Ariel> <Strife> If I don't, they'll dock me a weeks pay.
* Dias waits for everyone to get on
<Terra`> I'm coming, of course.
* Ariel smiles a little and gets up
* Terra` follows
* DeathStar holds out his arm to escort Ariel to the hanger.
<Ariel> <Strife> *fallows*
<DeathStar> NRP: It's...Justin!
* Dias hits the button for the hanger when everyone gets on
<Ariel> NRP: Sorry! Couldn't help it!
* Terra` is on
<Dias> *the elevator reaches the hanger and the doors open*
<Ariel> *laughs a llittle* Prominaded to the abandoned station? *takes DS' arm, shaking her head a liitle*
* Katrina` turns and walks to the hanger, since she's nearby. She looks over at the others.
* Nicolai steps out, fully clothed this time
* Junior stands on the hanger, next to the shuttle.
* Nicolai makes his way to the shuttle
<DeathStar> I would say, "What's the worse that could happen?", but I feel I'd regret it.
* Dias hops towards the shuttle, obviously excited
* Junior glances to Dias.
* DeathStar walks into the hangr with Ariel.
<Ariel> Clowns. Clowns would be the worst.
<Terra`> ... clowns?
<Terra`> NRP: Did Terra ever see Bimbo?
<Junior> Dias, I feel obligated to inform you that the Alliance installed a chip into your brain.
<Nicolai> I find clowns humorous
<DeathStar> NRP: I can't remember - was she there for that Alt Session?
<Dias> I feel obligated to tell you they didn't.
<Terra`> Does it make him stupid?
<Ariel> <Strife> *waves to Kat*
<Junior> After the operation where you almost died.
<Ariel> NRP: Which?
<Dias> Really? Why?
* DeathStar raises an eyebrow.
<Terra`> NRP: I think she MIGHT have been
* Katrina` waves at Strife.
* Junior closes a metal binder. "Go secure the station." he heads to the elevator.
* Nicolai walks into the shuttle, waiting for the others to be seated
<Dias> Huh...Guess I'll take care of that thing later.
<Ariel> <Strife> *lounges across two seats*
* DeathStar looks at Dias' head, as if scanning it.
<Nicolai> Are you guys coming, or you just gonna stand there?
* Kio stands up stretching before following the group into the hangar
* Terra` heads into the shuttle
* DeathStar gets into the shuttle finally.
* Katrina` does the same, sitting near Strife.
* Dias hopds onto the shuttle
* Kio gets into the shuttle last, and sits away from the others.
* Nicolai takes his seat last and buckles in
* DeathStar sits in the co-pilot seat.
Session Close: Sun Oct 24 00:00:00 2004
Session Start: Sun Oct 24 00:00:00 2004
Session Ident: #taw
* Terra` takes a seat
* Dias stands in the back
<DeathStar> GM: *the pilot seat remains empty*
<Terra`> ... *pauses, then moves to the pilot's seat*
<Nicolai> NRP: BRB
* DeathStar looks at Terra, nodding his head
* Ariel sits, watching the sensors.
<Terra`> NRP: o/` It's my turn to fly... o/`
* Dias reaches his hand up and grabs onto a hanger with his left hand, he lifts his legs up and dangles on it
<Terra`> Everyone ready?
* DeathStar eyes Dias
<DeathStar> ...yes...everyone.
* Terra` lifts off, then
<Ariel> <Strife> Crank it!
* Dias belches
* Nicolai thinks about music from the 90's
<Dias> Excuse me.
<Dias> NRP: The 2090's that is.
<DeathStar> NRP: 2190's, you mean
<Dias> NRP: Do i?
* Katrina` eyes Dias' strange behavior
<Katrina`> What...is his...ailment?
<Terra`> I have no idea.
<Ariel> NRP: <Strife> *thinks of music from the 2290s*
<DeathStar> GM: *Terra would see an empty and dark hanger she can park in*
<Nicolai> NRP: nope, the 1990s
* Dias swings back and forth, the muscles on his left arm tensing up
<DeathStar> NRP: All data from that time period has been lost.
* Terra` docks in the new hangar
<Nicolai> NRP: Except my secret collection of MIXED TAPES
<Terra`> NRP: * Terra thinks of music from to 1890s
<Ariel> NRP: Earth was only destroyed a couple times since then.
* DeathStar taps the comm button back to the station
<Nicolai> NRP: I keep them in my safe place
<Dias> Life support active?
<DeathStar> Junior, is this chip suppose to cause Dias to become like a monkey?
<DeathStar> NRP: back to the ship
<DeathStar> GM: *the scanners, would indicate to ARiel, since she's the only one looking, that life support is on*
* Nicolai waits to see if it's safe leave
<Junior> Comm: ... There isn't really a chip. Dias is just an idiot apperantly.
<DeathStar> Noted. *flips the comm. off*
* Terra` checks the scanners, finally
* Dias swings his feet back onto the floor of the shuttle and lets go
* Katrina` eyes Dias strangely.
* DeathStar leans forward, then leans back
<Terra`> Okay, looks safe enough
<Ariel> Well, looks like life support is on. Even if the lights are out.
<DeathStar> Who is going to lead the team?
* Nicolai I can lead the team
<Nicolai> I can lead the team
* DeathStar eyes Nicolai.
<Terra`> NRP: As opposed to Nicolai II
* Dias looks at Nicolai
* Katrina` looks at Nicolai like she's against that one
<Ariel> <Strife> Dude, that sooo doesn't give me confidence.
* Terra` looks over at Nicolai
<Terra`> No, seriously..
<Dias> Cannon fodder is nice.
* Kio twitches 14"Idiots.."
<Ariel> <Strife> That'd be like following... Arono.
<DeathStar> NRP: TAW1 reference!
<Nicolai> I am being Serious, but if guys don't feel I can do the job then so be it
<Terra`> NRP: Kio reminds me of Heero Yuy
* Dias looks at Kio twitch
* DeathStar rubs his mouth, then gestures at the door
<DeathStar> Alright, Nicolai, lead us.
<Dias> You might want to get that twitch checked out.
* Katrina` shakes her head
<Nicolai> Let us enter the Station, carefully, just incase
<Terra`> .oO(Okay, we're being lead by a guy who was running around the place naked a bit back?)
* Ariel idly checks for other power signatures in the station.
<Terra`> NRP: Led by
<DeathStar> GM: *there seems to be smoe power fluxes coming from the station's core*
<Dias> Hey Ariel, any scans show life forms on the station?
* Nicolai turns and waits for the answer
* DeathStar nods his head, as if he's perfectly fine with following Nicolai.
<Ariel> Haven't noticed any yet... *starts checking for life again* The core is acting odd though.
<DeathStar> GM: *life signs are not picking up anyone.*
<Nicolai> Anything else out of the ordinary?
<Dias> Might be on it's last circuit.
<DeathStar> NRP: *the scanners tell Ariel to not follow Nicolai*
* Katrina` looks at Kio, as if sharing his pain.
<Ariel> NRP: <Ariel> No life signs, but Nico is apparently a crazyman.
<Nicolai> So is everyone ready to go?
<DeathStar> After you are.
<Ariel> *gets up* No life signs. *uncomfortable*
<Nicolai> Then let us begin our journey into the unknown
* Kio stands up also
<Terra`> Yes, lets
* Terra` gets out of her seat
<Ariel> <Strife> *reforms to his feet* Yes sir, captain robinson, sir!
* Nicolai exits the shuttle and looks around waiting for the others to come out as well
<DeathStar> GM: *there is one hallway leading out of here, an an elevator in the hanger*
* DeathStar gets out, holding his sabre in hand.
* Katrina` steps out, looking around, troubled.
* Dias steps out after Kat
* Terra` follows Dias out
<Ariel> <Strife> *steps out, seemingly more serious now*
* Kio follows after them
* Ariel follows along, looking over a floorplan on a datapad.
* Dias looks around the hanger for a control console
* Nicolai looks at both exits
<DeathStar> GM: *the floor plan is like any standard alliance station - main command room upstairs on the first floor, hanger on the 10th-15th floors, rooms on the 2-9th, training room on the 16th, cafeteria settings on the 17th, and 18-25 is storage area and 25-30 is the engineering section*
<DeathStar> GM: *naturally, the hanger has several consoles. All offline*
* DeathStar waits for Nicolai to decide on an exit.
<Terra`> We should probably check on the engineering first. If that goes down, we're in trouble.
* Dias steps towards the nearest Console and taps the power button on it
<DeathStar> GM: *nothing happens*
<Nicolai> We're going to the hallway
<Ariel> <Strife> That's... a surprisingly good idea. Though, we should check on the bridge too.
* Dias runs his hand below the console and pounds against a sopt below it, a panel rattles loose and hits the ground
<Nicolai> Wait here
<Nicolai> I'm gonna find out where we are
<DeathStar> Perhaps Nicolai would like to split the team into two - one will check the bridge, the other the engineering.
<Terra`> Thanks.. and yeah. We should
<Nicolai> I was just thinking about that
* Dias looks down and runs his fingers along the wiring and then spots a certain wire, he pulls it out and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a tool
<DeathStar> Yes, sir.
<Dias> Anyone got a data pad I can borrow real quick?
* DeathStar flips Dias his datapad.
<Nicolai> I was actually gonna find out where we were in relation to both areas
<Nicolai> So then I could point you guys in the right direction
<DeathStar> Ariel has a map on her datapad. We're on the...12th floor.
* Katrina` stands off to the side, hidden mainly in the dark. She looks around, wondering what happened to make this station become deserted and left out here.
<Terra`> Well, the bridge and engineering sections would be on the top and bottom floors, right?
<DeathStar> If this is a standard station, yes.
<Nicolai> Probably 25th or around there
* Dias turns and grabs it, he spins back around and pops the power outlet off the end of it, he then hooks something up to the certain wire and then the other end to the datapad
<Nicolai> Bridge is definitely 1st floor
<Nicolai> So for groups
* Kio places a hand on his pistol..not likeing this already
<DeathStar> GM: *the console flickers to life*
<Ariel> If there's anyone living here, it'd most likely be either on the top floors, or bottom five. If there's anyTHING living here, expect it on the bottom 12.
<Terra`> Hey, we've got power!
* DeathStar waits for Nicolai to assign groups or ask for volunteers for a group.
* Dias taps on the console bringing up diagnostic information on the station
<DeathStar> GM: *the station seems to have several unpowered areas, strangely*
<Nicolai> You guys can assign yourselves groups, I don't know who works well with who
<DeathStar> Which group will you take?
<DeathStar> Bridge or engineering?
<Nicolai> I'll take Engineering group
<DeathStar> I'll go with the bridge group.
* Dias begins typign on it, trying to wake up the station
* Ariel downloads the diagnostic info to her datapad, checking where the areas without power are, frowning.
<DeathStar> GM: *the station's condition is 99% fit, life support is a little low, but stable, and the engineering data is corrupt*
<Terra`> So's going with which group, then?
<DeathStar> GM: *area without power - bridge, the engineering, training room, and the rooms*
<Terra`> NRP: So who
<DeathStar> You decide, Terra.
<Katrina`> I'll go with the engineering group.
<Nicolai> Terra you seem like you can handle yourself near on the bridge, I think you should accompany the Bridge Group
<Terra`> Sure thing. *sounds like she's been waiting for something like that*
<Terra`> Strife?
* Dias frowns
* Ariel doesn't commit herself to anything yet, but trys to get any sort of scans near the powerless areas.
<Nicolai> Dias, where would you like to go?
<DeathStar> GM: *the scans turn up nothing*
<Ariel> <Strife> *pauses* Well... I'll go where I'm best needed?
<Terra`> We could use you on the bridge.
<Ariel> ...I don't like this.
<Nicolai> NRP: I feel like I'm in an episode of star trek
<Ariel> <Strife> Oh? Well, sure. Doesn't make a huge difference to me.
<Terra`> Something feels wrong to you, too?
<Dias> Well I can't activate any of the systems or the back-up systems without the access codes so we'll have to walk.
* DeathStar looks around in the dark, his eyes scanning things.
* Katrina` shifts, waiting for them to decide.
<Terra`> Everyone, stay alert. There may well be someone or thing down here.
<Nicolai> Kio, are you with Bridge or Engineering?
<Ariel> Look... Be careful up there. Be extra wary in any areas without power.
<Terra`> .oO(Please say engineering)
<Kio> 14"I don't care.."
* Dias disconnects the datapad and tosses it to DS
* Terra` nods to Ariel
* DeathStar grabs it.
<Dias> DS, catch.
* Dias pockets the wire
<Ariel> *glances at Kat, then DS* I'm going down to engineering. My skills would probally be of better use there.
<Nicolai> Then your with us Kio, going to engineering
* Dias watches the console flicker off
* Dias turns back to the group
<Dias> So what's the head count?
* DeathStar looks at Ariel, then at Kat, then back at Ariel
<DeathStar> Alright. You stay safe.
<Nicolai> Ariel, Kio, and Kat are coming to engineering with me
<DeathStar> Terra, Strife, and myself will be heading to the bridge.
<Terra`> Lets see.. me, Strife, DS and... Dias?
<Dias> So 4 to 3...
* Kio shrugs
<Ariel> <Strife> Hey, we can handle it.
<Dias> Best to keep our ranks equal I suppose...
<Nicolai> I think so too
<Ariel> Everyone, keep on guard. I know the sensors haven't detected anything, but...
<Terra`> Hey, you're not a bad leader, Nicolai.
<DeathStar> But you got a bad feeling.
<Nicolai> Thanks Terra
<Terra`> Ariel, you're not the only one worried.
* DeathStar turns, waving his group down the hallway.
* Terra` follows DS
<Dias> Wouldn't be a surprise for something to take up home here. I'm more shocked it's not full of space fairies. *walks after DS*
<Nicolai> We're going behind them, we have to walk and climb our way to engineering
<Terra`> NRP: Space fairies. o.O
* DeathStar walks through the dark hallway, his eyes narrowed. He turns, eyeing a door marked stairway. He pauses, then opens the door.
* Nicolai beckons his team down the hallway as well
* Katrina` walks behind Nicolai and Kio.
* Ariel heads after Nico, staying close to Katrina.
* Dias eyes shift adjusting to the dark quickly
* DeathStar waves his team up toward #session210groupA
* Kio makes sure hes behind nicolai..so if something bad happens..it would be to the so called *leader*
<DeathStar> GM: *Nicolai will head down to #session210groupB
* Nicolai brings his group to #session210groupB
* Junior is now known as Garland
* Garland has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Shadow_Hildago is now known as Shadow_Mardonas
* Dias is now known as DarkHeart`
* DarkHeart` is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> GM: *and so, the two teams reunite at the command room on the top floor*
* Dias looks at Strife
* DeathStar leans back in his chair, giving the all go to the ship to send over clean up crews.
* Nicolai walks into the command room behind Ariel
* Terra` is near-enough shivering. Whether with fear or anger isn't certain
<DeathStar> GM: *a drop of slime falls off a slimed computer - right near Terra*
<DeathStar> GM: *the command room is covered in slime*
<Kio> 2Glances at the slug trail smirking, he glances at kat 14Investigate>"
<Ariel> *looks at the other team, getting an idea of their condition* DS, do you think the internal defenses will be able to handle what's in engineering? That's probally where they're worst.
* Terra` turns and shoots it, freaked out
* Katrina` walks in, looking at Kio, then the room
<Katrina`> Definitely. Let me check out a computer for possible nesting grounds.
* Nicolai notices terra shooting the slime, and walks over to her
* Katrina` moves over to a computer.
<Ariel> <Strife> *moves weakly to grab Terra's shoulder* H-hey... Calm down.
* Terra` takes DEEP breaths
* Dias wipes up some slime and flings it at Kio
* DeathStar tries to avoid Terra.
<Kio> 14"If the power is its feeding ground..wouldn't it be the generator room.."
<Nicolai> Whats wrong Terra?
<Katrina`> You could be right. *she scans the core - indeed, it's strangely fluxing*
<Terra`> I... hate slime...
<Ariel> *nods* The power readings were fluxing oddly.
<Katrina`> They still are.
* Nicolai glances around
<Nicolai> Thats understandable
<Ariel> With the output level that thing has, what's being used by the station could hardly strain it like this.
<Kio> 14"That means theirs still hundreds down their..any attempts to annihilate the next would render the core inoperative.." 2He gets slimmed on his shirt..which he drains out
<Kio> *nest*
<Dias> It's possible these things are sentient enough to know that if they takes only enough energy from the core they can feed off it for a long time.
* DeathStar looks at the computer
<DeathStar> If the core room is their nest, it would be dangerous to go down there.
<Ariel> Can it be shut down remotely?
<DeathStar> Someone would have to do it from here.
<DeathStar> And that would mean no life support.
<Ariel> <Strife> *leans against Terra, trying to keep from melting*
<Nicolai> Strife
<Terra`> Do we have anyone who can survive that?
<Katrina`> If these things feed of energy, they could become potentially unstoppable.
<Nicolai> Can't you survive without oxygen strife?
<Kio> 14"I can withstand long periods without air.."
<Ariel> <Strife> What..? You want me alone with those things?
<Terra`> Kio... not that long...
<DeathStar> The slugs do seem to like Strife. They've attempted to eat him several times.
<Ariel> We might not need long enough for that to be an issue.
<Ariel> These things must be really hungry. We could use the shuttle for bait.
* DeathStar pauses, picturing Strife with "BAIT" written on him, dangling him over a pit of slugs.
<Nicolai> can we route Shutdown controls to the hangar?
<DeathStar> I can't.
<Nicolai> or send them from the shuttle?
<DeathStar> No. Not these type of codes.
<Dias> I wonder if they're weak against radiation.
<Kio> 14"Just start a big fire..they don't like fire"
<Nicolai> Heat seemed to work pretty good on the one we saw
<DeathStar> Yes. They are weak to fire.
* Ariel pauses.
<Ariel> Prehaps... we just need to turn up the heat, and dry out the air?
<Nicolai> What if we heated up the Core room?
<Nicolai> NRP: Damn, I couldn't get it out fast enogh
<DeathStar> We could flood the entire station with radiation ... potentially.
<Ariel> Wait... that would be extremely dangerous.
<Nicolai> Do we have salt?
<Katrina`> But if we could control it before it went critical, it could kill them all.
<Nicolai> cause we always throws alot of salt into the room
<Ariel> If the ambient temperature got too high, then the core might loose containment.
<Dias> ...Heat up the Engine room then.
<DeathStar> .... but the person who activated the core to critical would have to be in there.
<Ariel> ...dammit, I'm starting to sound like Cheryl.
<Dias> How bout cold?
<Nicolai> Cold doesn't affect them
<Kio> 14"Potentially..but how about just hot enough to make them leave and guide them torward a certain destination..say..the hanger door..open it..and watch them fly off?"
<DeathStar> Hm. They'd need a reason to want to go to the hanger.
<Nicolai> Strife
* DeathStar glances at Strife.
* Katrina` looks to Strife.
<Ariel> <Strife> Hey! Use the shuttle! I'm already half dead here!
* Nicolai also look at Strife
<DeathStar> You do seem to be a treat to them
<Terra`> Yeah... use the shuttle, damn it...
<Nicolai> I can go to the shuttle
<DeathStar> Alright. We'll need someone to go to the core to heat it up. Someone who can stand radiation levels.
<Ariel> <Strife> I haven't a clue why... A reploid has much more energy to me.
<DeathStar> The rest should get to the hanger.
<Nicolai> Who can take the rad levels though?
<DeathStar> I could, if necessary.
<Dias> We could have Terra get naked to attact the male slugs.
* Ariel looks at the others, "Radiation isn't really my thing... but people say I have a thick skin."
<Terra`> ... NO!!!
* Terra` GLARES at Dias
<Dias> That's a thick head Ariel, not thick skin.
* DeathStar stands up
<DeathStar> I'll go down to the core. The rest of you, find a way to make the hanger an energy treat for them.
<Ariel> *glares* No, I ment thick skin. As in, take a lot of hits, or don't let insults get to me.
* Dias winks at Ariel
* DeathStar stops beside Kio, whispering into his ear something.
* Kio nods seemingly already having a plan, he steps onto the elevator to head to the hangar
* Terra` looks over to Ariel. "I think he needs a beating."
<Dias> Oooh idea! *runs towards the stairwell and disappears down it*
* DeathStar moves out.
* Nicolai follows kio onto the elevator
* Katrina` hurries after Kio.
* Ariel heads out, having an idea as well.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...we have to move again already?
<Katrina`> You can handle it!
* Dias slides down the railing towards the 10th floor
<Katrina`> GM: *the hanger is already being docked by Alliance personnel*
<Nicolai> Come on ya wimp
<Kio> 2Presses the elevator down to the hanger..only to see alliance personnel 14"Seems..they already have a treat.."
<Ariel> <Strife> *stumbles over, and puts his arms around Kat's shoulders, turning into a sort of cloak*
* Katrina` steps out, eyeing the many shuttles landing.
* Katrina` now wears a cloak.
<Nicolai> Interesting, when did they arrive/
<Ariel> NRP: * Katrina gains a cloak of slug attraction +5
* Dias reaches the 10th floor and hops off it he runs over to the gear and kneels next to it, looking for an access panel
<DeathStar> GM: *Dias would find one*
<Nicolai> NRP: Lol
<DeathStar> GM: *the hanger is full of unpowered gears*
* Dias pops it open and begins to try and power it up
<DeathStar> GM: *the gear comes to life*
<DeathStar> Computer: Warning. Warning. Core levels rising.
<Nicolai> NRP: Gear as in Xenogear?
* Katrina` glances up at the computer voice in the hanger.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes.
* Terra` follows the group, anyway
<Dias> NRP: Gears fly in space, Mechs are ground based
<Kio> 2Glances to the gears. He begins to step over to each of the gears..accessing their systems and rerouting energy into their core systems. 14"Lets activate these things.."
* Nicolai hears the warning and continues on with the group
<Ariel> NRP: Actually... it's a generic mech term =P
* Katrina` moves over to the shuttles, getting them to come online.
* Dias climbs into the dragon gear and bursts into the stair well, he flies down it towards the hanger floor
<Dias> NRP: Not in TAW
<DeathStar> GM: *the gears begin to activate all over the place, thanks to Kio and..uh..Dias..*
* Nicolai starts activating gear as well, and routing all energy to the core
<DeathStar> Computer: Warning. Core levels reaching dangerous levels.
* Ariel trys to warn the shuttles about the slug infestation.
* Dias bursts through the doorway leading to the hall that leads to the hanger, he flies down it
<Kio> 2He stops after activating a sufficient amount. He moves over to one of the alliance captains 14"I'm afriad your going to have to depart for now captain..there is a deadly virus on this station, your risking your men infection
<DeathStar> GM: *the captain nods, then begins to order his people to pull out*
<DeathStar> GM: *a rumbling is heard below*
* Katrina` glances at the stairs.
<Ariel> Deadly virus?! You're going to give them the wrong idea! *hurries over to explain the real situation*
<Ariel> <Cloak> *shivers*
<Terra`> They're leaving though...
<DeathStar> GM: *the Alliance shuttles begin to flee back to the cruiser*
<Terra`> ... wait...
<Kio> 2He glares at ariel, whispering 14"Idiot..giant slugs is not believable"
* Nicolai stops actibating gears as well
<DeathStar> GM: *the rumbling gets louder*
* Kio begins to head back to the elevator
* Katrina` hugs the cloak tighter to her body, eyeing the stairs.
<Nicolai> Who's gonna open the door?
* Dias barrel rolls into the hanger and sets the dragon gear down, he begins to over-power the engines
<DeathStar> GM: *the few people who are told by Ariel they are about to be attacked by slugs stare at her
<Ariel> I think it's time to get to cover.
* Terra` nods to Ariel
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs explode from the elevator shaft and the stairs, swarming toward the hanger. There are literally hundreds of them*
* Terra` twitches
* Katrina` steps back, moving away.
<Dias> Hmmmm...
* Dias hops out of the gear
<Nicolai> Maybe we should have earlier
<Dias> Everyone grab onto something...
<DeathStar> Computer: Warning. Core Levels reaching dangerous levels. Evacuate immediately.
* Dias runs towards a nearby console
* Kio growls and pulls back..running back to the group. He glances at a shuttle 14"Why not just use that"
* Katrina` leaps in a shuttle she powered u.
* Nicolai grabs onto a ladder with one hand, and uses his other to surround some slugs in a pillar of flames
* Terra` leaps into a shuttle too
* Nicolai follows suit and leaps into a shuttle, burning up slugs behind him
* Kio moves in after them
<Ariel> <Strife> *hides inside Kat's uniform from the evil slugs, shivering in fear*
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs leap on the shuttles*
* Terra` starts shooting at the damn slugs
<DeathStar> GM: *more slugs leap on the gears*
<DeathStar> GM: *slugs try to leap at Terra's chest*
<Kio> 2Steps into the pilots seat. He activates the after burners to keep the slugs off
* Terra` screams, trying to throw the damn things OFF
* Katrina` sits beside Kio, unable to fly a shuttle.
* Dias grabs onto a rung next to the console and begins to lower the shields from the hanger
* Ariel grabs Terra, and teleports her into the shuttle.
<Ariel> NRP: Whoops, nm
<DeathStar> GM: *the warning alarms in the hanger go off as the shields begin to drop and a vacuum begins. Slugs begin to fly into space*
* Nicolai grabs the slugs from terras chest
* Katrina` looks at Nicolai feeling up Terra's chest.
<DeathStar> GM: *their own shuttle begins to get sucked out into space*
* Dias swings his arm through the run to keep himself in place
<Ariel> <Strife> *shivers in fear*
* Terra` glares at Nicolai, a heat-haze forming around her as her eyes turn red
* Ariel holds on tight to a rung, outside the shuttle
<DeathStar> GM: *The slugs keep flying into space, the hanger emptying. The shuttle, though, is about to join them outside*
<Katrina`> Kio! We need to stay in the hanger! Can you boost the engines to keep us in?
* Nicolai backs up a few steps then feels the shuttle start to slide
* Kio only has novice amounts of knowledge with ships..being he works on repairs. He attempts to turn the shuttle..and cause the thrusters to blow against the current
<Kio> 14"I got this!"
* Katrina` nods, smiling at him
* Dias taps the defensives systems activating them to attack the slugs that are outside
<DeathStar> GM: *the shuttle stays in place now; the hanger only has 10% of the slugs left*
* Nicolai looks around non chalantly
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs fly in space toward the cruiser - hungry*
<Nicolai> Sense of adventure?
<DeathStar> GM: *however, some are being shot up by the outside defenses*
* Terra` just GLARES at Nicolai, the air around her hazy.
* Dias clothes and hair flap violently from the vacuum
<Nicolai> My bad
* Ariel looks outside, wondering how slugs can fly in space... but realizes they had to get to the station somehow
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs attach to the cruiser's hull*
<Kio> 14"Errr..thats bad"
<Katrina`> Very bad.
<Nicolai> NRP: They squirt slime from their back ends
<DeathStar> GM: *the remaining slugs in the hanger land on the shuttle now, sliming their way in toward Kat*
<Nicolai> Stand back everyone
* Katrina` realizes Strife is hiding on her.
* Dias hits the console, activating the shields infront of the hanger entrance
* Terra` turns to face the slugs, seemingly on fire
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs avoid Terra like the plague*
* Nicolai uses a small pillar of flame to try and burn the slugs, without burning the people inside the shuttle
* Kio moves out after the shields are up..launching an incindiery grenade torward the remaining slugs
* Ariel looks out at the trouble with the cruiser, then hurries over to the shuttle
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs catch on fire, burning inside the shuttle*
* Nicolai gets away from the grenade before it scplodes
<Katrina`> Gre--! *the grenade explodes, taking out more slugS*
<Nicolai> NRP: Explodes*
<Kio> 14"I suggest you leave the shuttle..now!"
<Ariel> <Strife> *glazes over Kat to protect her from the explosion*
<DeathStar> GM: *the hsuttle, now damaged, begins to spark, ready to explode again*
<DeathStar> GM: *the slugs out in space are destroyed by the cruiser*
<Ariel> NRP: This shuttle explodes often?
* Katrina` opens the side door and rolls out of the shuttle.
* Dias body slams against the wall
* Terra` starts for the exit, following Kat
<Dias> Gah...
<DeathStar> NRP: The back end got damaged from the grenade explosion, now the rest is going.
<Dias> *takes in a deep breath*
* Kio kicks katrina to the side before stepping back, bracing himself for the explosion
* Katrina` is kicked like a football and rolls to safety.
<DeathStar> GM: *the shuttle explodes*
* Ariel hits the dirt.
* Nicolai dives dramatically into the elevator as the explosion sends debris flying overhead
<Terra`> NRP: *wonders whether to rename herself like this*
<DeathStar> GM: *the elevator, not being there, cannot save Nicolai from his dramatic fall down the shaft*
<Kio> 2Gets hit by flying shrapnel..which tears into his boidy..sending blood to his sides as he goes flinging backwards.
* Terra` leaps to the floor, avoiding most of the explosion
<DeathStar> GM: *all is quiet now as the security systems put out the fires*
* Nicolai grabs the elevator cable, and slows himself, then he starts his climb back upwards
* Dias pulls himself up and shakes his head
<Kimera> *coughs* ...that was interesting.
* Katrina` gets up slowy, wincing. She glances around to Kio, then checks his condition.
* Terra` stands there for a while, blazing quietly
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warning. Core breach immenient.
* Nicolai emerges from the elevator shaft, at about the same time the warning goes off
<Kimera> NRP: Ack! Ignore that last one x.x
<Dias> ...*looks up* Son of a...
* Kio grimaces in pain..his fronts seemingly scortched, with pieces of metal sticking out from his arms. 14"H-heh..i'll be f-fine.."
<Ariel> ...crap. *teleports down to the core room*
<Katrina`> You are not fine...we...*looks up at the warning*
<Nicolai> NRP: Damn, Shot in the knee caps, and fell down an elevator shaft, all in one Session
<DeathStar> GM: *the heat levels here are extremely high, as is the radiation now*
* DeathStar stands in front of the core, trying to shut it off.
* Terra` ... doesn't even notice
<Nicolai> something tells me thats theres trouble in paradise
<Terra`> ... you think?
<Katrina`> ...*looks worried now*
<Nicolai> No, I know
<Dias> Who blew up the shuttle?!
<Ariel> Tell me you can deal with this DS... *strains herself as she trys to get the temperature down*
<Terra`> ... don't look at me.
<Nicolai> I did
<DeathStar> The computer system is shot. Those buggers drained too much energy. The core cannot balance itself now.
<Terra`> Maybe we should leave...
<Ariel> <Strife> *clings to his 'big sister', not wanting to die*
<Ariel> Options?
<DeathStar> We could let the station blow...
<Ariel> We lost the shuttle.
* Katrina` helps Kio into a sitting position.
* Kio glances up at the warning 14"Use the remaining mech cores to power the station.."
<DeathStar> Right.
* Dias looks at Kio
<Dias> What the hell are you talking about?
<DeathStar> I could try to pump energy into it, but I don't have a power source down here - other than me.
<Terra`> ... stupid.
<Terra`> That won't stop them overheating.
<Nicolai> But maybe thats the problem
<Kio> 14"You got any better ideas other then emitting heat?"
<Terra`> ...
<Katrina`> Get Mom or Dad on the comm, Kio.
<Katrina`> Tell them your idea.
<Nicolai> Maybe energy is the problem
* Terra` tries to calm down, the flames starting to dissipate from around her
* DeathStar looks at the core, reaching his hand out gingerly. He seems relunct to touch it.
<Ariel> No DS, we need an alternate source...
* Kio reaches for his comm..paging deathstar 14"Deathstar..we will use the remaining mechs to power the station"
* DeathStar pauses, glancing at his comm.
<Terra`> ... *tries very hard to stay calm*
* Ariel can't exactly stop DS from doing anything, she's straining to try to get the temperature down, so the core isn't so strained.
* DeathStar grabs his comm.
<DeathStar> How the hell do we geat a gear down here?
* Dias form wavers
* Dias is now known as DarkHeart`
<Kio> 2Notions for katrina to start turning on the mechs and rerouting the core energy into the station. 14"We don't, we use power cables to send the energy directly into the stations"
* DeathStar pauses, then shrugs
<DeathStar> Worth a shot.
* DarkHeart` blurs infront of a gear and plants his hands against it, seconds later him and the mech disappear
* Katrina` nods, moving to the gears. She begins to try to reroute the power into the station itself.
* DeathStar looks up
<DeathStar> Move back, Ariel
<Terra`> ... nice trick...
* Terra` looks almost normal again
* Ariel nods slowly, backing off some
* DarkHeart` him and the mech reappear beside the engine
* DeathStar looks at the crammed space now
<DeathStar> What the hell!?
* DarkHeart` looks to DS
* Katrina` hops out of the gear, moving to the next.
<Ariel> <Strife> *aids Katrina by acting as another set of hands*
<Terra`> ... anyone need any help?
<DeathStar> Oh you got to be kidding me - are you planning to hook that up directly?
<Katrina`> Yes.
<Kio> 2Sits there..not exactly in great condition..
<Katrina`> Reroute as many gears as you can
* DarkHeart` points at DS
* Nicolai moves ahead of Kat and starts to activate the gears, shortening the time needed
<DeathStar> What...you want me to?
<DeathStar> GM: *the core level begins to stablize some, but it's overheating so quickly now*
* DarkHeart` grabs the arm of the gear and rests it against the core, using it as a heat sink while DS waits
* Terra` does her best to help
* Ariel starts building ice pillars to help bleed off the heat
* DeathStar turns, then eyes the Gear's core rising to critical as it drains the heat
<DeathStar> You are fucking nuts.
<DeathStar> GM: *with the heat draining and the team in the hanger pumping energy, the core begins to cool down and stablize*
* DarkHeart` holds his hand against the gear and teleports again, this time outside the station, he disappears again and back down to the core
<DeathStar> GM: *the gear explodes outside the station*
<DeathStar> Computer: All core activty back to normal.
* DarkHeart` reverts
* DarkHeart` is now known as Dias
<Dias> Heat sink.
<Katrina`> Comm: Mom. I need you back up here.
<Nicolai> That was the scariest shit I ever did in my entire life
<Kio> 2He chuckles..coughing up blood 14"S-see..it worked.."
<Terra`> ... I... think I know the feeling
* Katrina` hops out of a gear and walks over to Kio.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Ariel has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Katrina`> It worked. Did you ever think about being a strategist? Or a unit leader?
<DeathStar> NRP: Hey, ARiel, Kat called for her to return to the hanger.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Ariel> *tiredly answers her comm* I'l be right up
* DeathStar sits down, drained.
* Ariel closes her eyes and concentrates on the energy for one last teleport to the hangar.
* Dias plops down besides DS
<Nicolai> Terra, sorry for the uh, incident on the shuttle, I was only trying to help
<Dias> That was...fun.
<Terra`> Yeah... I know now...
* Katrina` looks up at Ariel
<Kio> 14"Naturally..i'ma mechanic..i know what i'm talking about..Besides...no one trusts me enough to be a stategist or unit leader..barely a-anyone listens to my plans.."
<Terra`> I'm sorry I blew my top.
<Ariel> *tiredly* What's.. up?
<Katrina`> I need you to help patch Kio up.
<DeathStar> "Fun"?
* Ariel nods, forcing a bit of a smile as she pulls out her medkit.
<Nicolai> Don't worry about it
<Terra`> Thanks.
* Katrina` steps away from Ariel, as if sensing something not quite right about her manner.
<Katrina`> You okay?
<Dias> ...*lets out a breathe of air* You need to lighten up a little.
<DeathStar> When my daughter and the woman I love is in danger, I won't be lightening up.
<Ariel> Let's just say, after this... I'm taking a looooong nap. *starts to help out Kio*
* Terra` nods to Ariel
<DeathStar> GM: *the Alliance vessels avoid the station, fearing the virus*
<Nicolai> So what say we clean up this mess
<Dias> I wasn't...referring to it in that manner.
<Ariel> Though... shower first after that radiation bath...
* DeathStar stands up, walking off from Dias.
<Kio> 14"Get the alliance on the comm..tell em we exterminated the virus.." 2Grimaces as ariel touches a wound
<Terra`> ... I'll never look at a shower the same way...
* Katrina` nods, contacting them. The vessels begin to fly back into the station. Clean up crews begin to pour out and move around the station, fixing and repairing. The team's belongings are brought over
<Ariel> <Strife> *stays very VERY still, hoping he's been forgotten*
<Nicolai> NRP: I completely forgot about Sojima being here, He could have just used his Ice abilities to cool the reactor...
* Ariel doesn't ask about the shower thing, she doesn't want to know
* Terra` looks almost as exhausted as Ariel
* DeathStar steps into the hanger.
<Nicolai> Terra, you look like you could use a good bed to sleep on
<Terra`> Yeah... I need a rest...
<DeathStar> I'd avoid the 7th floor.
<DeathStar> AT least until the clean up crews finish with it.
* Terra` nods quietly
<Terra`> I'm... going to look for a floor without slime, I think...
* DeathStar bends down next to Kio.
<Nicolai> I'll go with you
<DeathStar> You're a smart man.
<Ariel> *pats Kio on the shoudler as she finishes up* You'll be okay.
* Katrina` sits indian style near Kio, Ariel, and DS.
<Nicolai> Shall we go Terra?
<Terra`> Sure
* Terra` starts up the stairs, tiredly
* Kio holds in the pain as she pats him on the shoulder. 14Yeah well..others don't see it that way.." 2Glares at terra for a second before sitting back
* Nicolai walks off with terra in search of a slimeless and quiet resting place
<Dias> NRP: GO NICOLAI!
<DeathStar> I'd suggest next time the team is debating on a leader, you speak up first.
<DeathStar> GM: *Nicolai and Terra, after some searching, find Floor 9 to be clean*
* Ariel falls back against the hangar floor, "I'm almost ready to crash right here."
* Terra` finds a room to shower and rest in... but not to share with Nicolai
* DeathStar smiles at Ariel, then moves over to her, picking her up in his arms.
<Kio> 14"I just might..just to put some of these people in their place.." 2Chuckles
<DeathStar> I'll find you a spot to sleep at. *he nods to Kio* Think about what I said.
* Nicolai escorts Terra to the room, and then leaves to find his own room
* DeathStar walks off, carrying Ariel toward the rooms.
* Ariel just smiles tiredly
* Katrina` watches DS and Ariel go.
* Kio begins to get to his feet twitching in pain every second he does so..until he fully stands
* Katrina` watches Kio get up
<Nicolai> HAve a nice rest Terra
<Katrina`> You're still hurting, I see.
* DeathStar picks floor 5, moving to the first room he sees. He opens it with a hand and moves in, setting Ariel on the bed.
<Kio> 14"I just got bombarded by an explosion throwing your ass outta the way.."
<DeathStar> There you go.
<Terra`> You too
<Katrina`> I know. Thank you. *she stands up, cupping her hands together behind her*
<Ariel> Y'know... I'd say something about being carried like that, but... I'm too tired to complain.
<Ariel> NRP: <DS> *kidnaps Ariel*
* DeathStar smirks, leaning agains the doorframe, as if he doesn't want to leave quite yet.
<DeathStar> You look very tired.
<Kio> 14"You should get some sleep.."
* Katrina` nods her head, walking away. She pauses, glancing back at Kio
<Nicolai> NRP: I guess it just wasn't my time
<Katrina`> You get some rest, too.
<Ariel> Building a winter wonderland in engineering isn't exactly light work...
<Kio> 14"I will.."
* Katrina` waves at him, then moves to the stairs.
<DeathStar> That's true. But it was an impressive sight.
<Nicolai> NRP: But, on the bright side, every point counts
<Ariel> I'm just happy knowing we all didn't get gibbed...
<DeathStar> Gibbed, eh?
* Shadow_Mardonas has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Shadow_Mardonas has joined #taw
* Nicolai actually takes a shower too, the hot water relaxing his tense body
<Ariel> Mmm... don't have a thesaurus handy.
* DeathStar drums his fingers on the doorframe, then nods, as if makign his mind up
* Dias makes his way to the bridge
<DeathStar> You get some sleep - I'll go so you can rest.
<Ariel> ...you can stay if you want.
* Terra` takes a shower, then gets some sleep
<Ariel> *sits up* I need to wash up though... radiation doesn't exactly give me the sort of glow I'm looking for.
* DeathStar pauses, glancing back at her. He nods, stepping into the room and closing the door behind.
<DeathStar> Alright.
* Shadow_Mardonas is now known as Shadow|Sleep
* Kio places a hand on the wall to balance himself 14"Another day of near death experiences.."
<Ariel> *smiles a little* Anyways, it's nice to know someone is around if one of those man eating slugs survived.
<DeathStar> I will do my best to make sure you are not slimed in the night.
* Nicolai gets outs of the shower 30 minutes later and finishes up in the bathroom, then jumps into bed and lays on his back staring at the ceiling until he drifts off to sleep
