<DeathStar> Session 216: The Tides of War
<DeathStar> Time Chart: October 22nd, 2223
<DeathStar> Location: Investigation Team Station
* Terra` has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Terra`
<DeathStar> GM: *after the victory at Wizzell, the Motenks responded with surprising force and aggression - no longer targetting planets, they began to hit the Alliance and Tsivrixsh fleets, blowing them up and then leaving. So far, this has been continuing for a week and if something doesn't change, the fleets will be too weak to fight anymore...*
* Garland stands on the bridge, his hair tied back. He looks over his datapad, nodding to himself.
* Garland is now known as Junior
* Dias sits in the Command Center, watching the HoloNews
<Junior> NRP: Sad thing is, that line works either way. :P
<Dias> NRP: It's not sad.
* DeathStar hasn't been seen since his mistake at Wizzell that cost millions of lives.
* Nicolai is friggin pissed that he was forgotten and had to escape alone
* Katrina` has joined #Taw
* Dias shakes his head at the chaos
* Junior sets the pad down and presses the comm button. "Investigation Team to the Bridge."
* Kio is on the command floor..glancing into the screen 14"Heh..thats great..least we got a look at motenks and a dna samples.."
<Nicolai> NRP: Am I on the investigation team?
* Katrina` looks over at Junior, having been sitting at the science station doing scans on the fingers.
* Dias looks at Kio
* Dias then turns to Jr.
<Dias> Shouldn't you be at the Alliance Headquarters?
* Junior glances to Dias.
<Junior> Shouldn't you be completeing missions?
<Aurora`> <Strife> *sleeping at the security station*
* Terra` watches the HoloNews, holding The Jar
* Nicolai makes his way to the bridge looking kinda like he's ready to rip into anyone that looks at him the wrong way
<Dias> Funny, doesn't seem like your doing a good job completing Snipe's mission.
<Junior> No one is keeping you here, Dias.
* Junior turns to him, challengingly.
* Nicolai steps onto the bridge
<Dias> Uhh...Is the President of the Alliance feeling like he's so worthless that he needs to 'hide' out on a Station instead of being with the rest of the Alliance members?
<Kio> 14"Let the testorone flow out the window..
<Aurora`> <Strife> *snoooore*
* Dias clicks a button the HoloVid turning off
<Dias> So how are you going to save the Alliance, Oh Grand and Illustrious President?
* Katrina` shakes her head at Dias
<Junior> Just because your father was a hack and your best friend chose me to be his replacement is no reason to be so callus.
* Dias looks at him, inquistively
* Junior turns to Katrina.
<Dias> I still haven't seen you do anything to prove your any less of a 'hack' as you claim my father was.
<Junior> Are you doing better?
* Katrina` nods her head slowly, hesitantly.
<Katrina`> I am, thank you
* Junior nods.
<Nicolai> Hello
<Junior> Learn from what happened, and you can be stronger for it.
* Junior nods to Nicolai
* Dias looks to Nicolai
* Katrina` waves at Nicolai
* Aurora` is now known as Ariel
* Junior taps the Comm, "Death Star to bridge."
* Kio sits down in a chair and begins to spin in it..waiting till this is over
* Nicolai waves back to Kat, calming a little bit
<Nicolai> So, how was your guys journey back from hell?
* Dias turns to the station he's at and brings up the Holonet and begins to checking things
<Dias> Oh and thanks for the info Kat, I've sent a copy of your findings to Slasher so he can go over it.
* Junior looks to Dias, then shifts his gaze to Katrina.
* Katrina` raises her eyebrows, wondering how Dias got the information
<Nicolai> Cause mine sure was unpleaseant
<Junior> I hope those are empty words, Katrina. The word "Classified" has a meaning.
* DeathStar finally steps into the bridge area, his clothes wrinkled like he's been sleeping in them. His face, also, could use a shave at this point. He leans against the doorframe.
<Kio> 14"Seems everybody was caught except for me.."
* Junior glances to DeathStar, then looks back to Katrina, waiting for her response.
<Nicolai> But you weren't left behind
<Terra`> NRP: *isn't sure how to bring Terra in proper*
<Katrina`> I'm sorry, sir. It... won't happen again.
* Dias looks at Jr.
* Junior looks to glances to Dias.
<Dias> Hey I gave her some of my DNA so I felt I needed to be in on it.
<Junior> That's no excuse.
<Seta> NRP: *isn't sure how to eat his oreo >.>*
<Junior> You are a security risk, whether you realize it or not.
* Nicolai knows he's being ignored so he just leans back against the wall waiting...
* Dias scoffs at Jr.
<Dias> I didn't know you were into withholding vital information to people now.
<Kio> 2Shrugs and sits back looking at junior 14"Get off their ass..they tried their hardest to protect the people of that planet, most of them were willing to make sacrifices..however we came sorely unprepared..you supplied with no information about our opponent..how did you expect us to fair..good?"
<Terra`> NRP: Well, am I actually on the investigation team?
<Dias> NRP: Yeah...
<Terra`> NRP: Oh. Heh
<Junior> Death Star, you should strongly reconsider putting that flight helmet back on.
* Junior looks at him and crosses his arms.
<DeathStar> Excuse me....?
<Terra`> NRP: If it's possible for me to already be on the bridge, that works well
<Dias> Hey back off Jr, he had no idea that there was a cloaked bomb.
<DeathStar> NRP: You'll have to walk up there!
<Junior> Think about the differences you made with it on. I know you're torn up about what went wrong back there but it's a war. Shit happens.
* Junior ignores Dias.
* Terra` heads up to the bridge, finally, then
<Ariel> <Strife> zzzzzzzzzzzzz...
<DeathStar> What the hell does a flight helmet have to do with anything?
<Dias> Apparently he thinks you were a better person when you were Wind.
<DeathStar> ....
<Junior> You tell me. It somehow made the difference for you, Wind.
<Kio> 14"At least we got samples from the motenk..so it wasn't a complete failure.."
* DeathStar leans his back against the doorframe, watching Terra pass him into the bridge.
<Nicolai> you guys gotta take a few breaths and be nicer to one another
<Terra`> Sorry I'm late..
<Nicolai> Instead of ripping into each other every chance you get
<Ariel> <Strife> "Huh... wha...?" *gets a 'Danger Will Robinson' feeling as he wakes up*
<DeathStar> Wind...
<Junior> Think about that before you continue being a part of the IT. Just rememember "lemonaide."
<Terra`> "Lemonaid"?
* Dias drops his hand clenching it
* Junior glances to Terra, "When life gives you lemons."
* Junior turns to the vidport, clickign to a planet.
<Nicolai> Lemonade, that cool refreshing drink
* Kio leans back in chair..sighing
<Terra`> Oh... that makes sense
* DeathStar runs his hand through his black hair, looking more confused now than before.
<Nicolai> NRP: they answer her, but I'm invisible
<Seta> NRP: lemon snow-cone anyone?
<Dias> NRP: Did someoen here something?
<Junior> I've been in contact with major chemical vendors about securing several hundred tons of base compounds.
* Junior presses a button, several chemical equasions popping up.
* Nicolai punches himself in the leg, cause he's bored
<Dias> So we can blow up some more Gas planets?
* Junior looks back to the IT, glancing to Nicolai briefly.
<Junior> No.
* Katrina` looks at the equations with interest.
<Terra`> What're they for, then?
<Junior> Energy weapons have proven, for the most part inneffective.
<Junior> Balistics, like missiles, also have failed us.
<Nicolai> Maybe they found the chemical most harmful to Motenks
<Dias> Chemical warfare it is now...
<Nicolai> NRP: Like in evloution :D
* Junior shifts his weight.
<Junior> Sort of.
<Dias> It is or it isn't.
* Seta is now known as Project-Diamond
<Project-Diamond> NRP: originality abounds.
* Junior holds up a beaker of fluid, glancing at another off-colored one on the table.
<Terra`> What's the complication?
<Nicolai> NRP: Is that, Emma Frost?
* Junior throws the glass at the other, breaking the two and the fluids mix, instantly foaming and growing into a hardened styrofoam.
<Kio> 14"What good is that?"
* Project-Diamond sends a message to the station.
<Dias> How cute...We're going to package them.
<Nicolai> HEh
* Junior glances to Dias.
<Junior> Immobilize them.
<Nicolai> It's like a marshmellow effect
<Dias> Have you fought one yet?
<Junior> It has to be tested.
<Terra`> Bloody hell... this is crazy
<Kio> 14"Be my guest"
* Dias laughs
<Nicolai> You can't hit them
<DeathStar> GM: *a console near Dias beeps, indicating someone is trying to contact them*
<Nicolai> It's almost physically impossible
* Dias turns to the console
* Junior crosses his arms. "Someone get that."
<Dias> Looks like someone else wants in on this conversation
<Junior> We can hit them, it's doing damage that's the trick.
* Dias taps it
<Junior> I'm not stopping with the immobilization, though.
<Kio> NRP: Brb restarting
* Project-Diamond blinks. "Hello!" His head turns to the side.
<Dias> So we trap them in styrofoam. How do we hit them then? Knock them off a cliff?
* Junior glances to Project-Diamond
* Kio has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Junior glances to Dias. "We're in space. That chip in your brain is affecting your coherancy again."
<Project-Diamond> I'm kinda lost. Where exactly am I?
<Dias> Oh so this is for the ships then huh?
<Terra`> Okay... what good is that?
<Junior> ... I've also been in contact with the Janus remnant.
<Terra`> ... and...?
* Project-Diamond scratches his head. "Hello?"
* Terra` seems a little bothered by that
* Junior mutes the comm so Project-Diamond can't hear what he has to say.
* Dias shakes his head at Jr.
<Dias> You're amusing at times.
<Junior> And you're not.
<Dias> NRP: BRB
<Junior> The problem wasn't Janus. It was Chip.
<Dias> Good, I'd hate to grow on you.
* Terra` nods
<Junior> Most of their leaders are dead and all that are left are the engineers and footmen still remain.
<DeathStar> ....so you're going to use the Janus connection....
* DeathStar lifts his head up.
* Junior looks to Ds.
<Terra`> I can't say I like it...
<Junior> To create micro bombs.
* Project-Diamond talks to nothing. "Uhh.."
<Terra`> Well.. that sounds a BIT better...
* Kio has joined #taw
* Junior holds up a remote and points it at the foam. He presses the button and it pops like a small firecracker.
<Terra`> Oooh!
<Nicolai> cool
* Katrina` considers the possibilities of this.
<Terra`> 'ey, this isn't classified, is it?
<Junior> From all sides at once. It appears the motenk sheilds can focus at one point for an unknown ammount of time, but if we strike them from all sides at once with a seemingly benign casing---Well, it should work for a time.
<Junior> Yes, yes it is.
<Terra`> Ah.. oh well, it's not like I need MORE bombs.
* Junior smirks to Terra`
<Junior> It's military tech. You're military.
<Kio> 14"Pft..its not like you've been the greatest help to us so far.."
<Dias> Wow, those scientists are pretty damn smart.
<Nicolai> They think quick
* Terra` grins, hearing this
* Junior leans back against the console, crossing his arms.
<Katrina`> When do you plan to use this, Junior?
<Junior> As soon as we've tested it.
<Kio> 14"Lemme guess..thats what were here for"
<Junior> I won't equip the fleets with it until we've found that it will work.
* Junior looks to Kio.
<Junior> You are the IT.
<Dias> Apparently we are guinea pigs also.
<Junior> We'll need to good pilots for it.
<Junior> Yes, you are.
<Nicolai> Shat
<Kio> 14"What..your gonna put that stuff on us..and blow it up?"
<Junior> Each one to carry one component of the mixture.
* Project-Diamond whistles to himself.
<Nicolai> No
<Nicolai> We're gonna go and try to throw on them
<Junior> We're going to do a hit and run of our own.
<Kio> 14"Wel..i just took on about 100 of those bastards..so whatever"
<Dias> The stuff to dangerous to have two of it on the same vessel?
<Terra`> Well, we need to keep it from mixing until we fire it
<Junior> If it mixes it increases in volume exponentially, I'd try my best to keep the chemicals separate.
<Junior> A cruiser could facilitate both, however.
* DeathStar thinks.
<Dias> Obviously you've thought of everything right Jr?
<Nicolai> I hope he has
<Junior> It would be arrogant to assume that, Dias.
<Junior> I just hope I've thought of everything we'll run into.
<Kio> 14"Someone needed too..considering we were out there getting our asses kicked"
<Junior> It's a completely anarobic reaction, so it will work in space.
<Dias> No if this is like any other chemical that creates form when it mixes...Wouldn't you need to cover the entire ship with both chemicals or it'd just cover one spot?
<Junior> The more coverage the better.
<Nicolai> So what is our mode of transportation of this stuff anyway?
* Dias rubs his head, chuckling to himself
<Junior> The cruisers will be able to produce an aerosol effect, which will guarantee stronger coverage, however a shuttle or a mech can only carry something a step up from a fire-hose.
<Junior> For safety reasons.
* Junior looks to Nicolai "Just tanks."
<Junior> I'm working closely with the techs to develop different weapons, I do not want the Motenks to ever have a chance to adapt.
<Terra`> They'll try, so we need as many ways to get at them as possible.
<Junior> Does everyone understand the mission?
<Junior> This is both recon and weapons testing.
<Katrina`> How are we going to lure out the Motenks?
* Junior glances to Dias.
* Project-Diamond scratches his chin, waiting..
<Kio> 14"Take a pot shot at them and fly away?"
<Junior> My plan, unless Dias has a better one, is to send the shuttles out to an area of known-motenk activity and have him turn into DarkHeart.
* Terra` looks at Junior quizzically
<Katrina`> ...
* Dias has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Terra`> The motenks are more attracted to DarkHeart?
<Nicolai> NRP: Freck and Freck, I'm goin Trick or Treating
<DeathStar> NRP: I think he had a better plan - run
<Project-Diamond> NRP: lol
<Project-Diamond> NRP: A:
* Nicolai has quit IRC (Quit: Ack hope I don't get no tricks)
<Junior> He supposedly has their DNA, but he also is infused with their energy.
<Kio> 14"I say taking potshots and flying away works well too.."
<Junior> We have to find them first, Kio.
<Kio> 14"Dias is seemingly always the guinea pig in the last 5 missions..do you have something against him?"
<Junior> He wasn't a guinnea pig in the last mission. He was just in command.
* Dias has joined #taw
<Junior> I put him in command because he was the best equipped for the mission.
<Kio> 14"Uhh..katrina..was not him"
* Project-Diamond coughs.
<Junior> He was for the space-portion.
<Kio> 14"Yeah and he ended up strapped to a table getting tortured...heh..but whatever"
<Dias> What if I don't feel like being used as a tool?
<Junior> Then you can leave, like I've constantly offered.
<Dias> So you're trying to force me to do something like some other people did earlier. How do you know it'll even work.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: lol :(
<Junior> I'm not forcing you to do anything, but you are the only known method of invoking them to do anything.
<Junior> And I don't know that it will work. This is an experiment.
* DeathStar crosses his arms, tilting his head to the side.
* Katrina` looks at Dias, wondering what he'll decide.
<Junior> The sole purpose of this team is to find out how to stop the Motenks, and if you don't want to follow that creed; you're free to leave.
<Dias> See, there you go trying to force me to do something or be left out.
<Terra`> Got any better ideas?
<Junior> You have your options.
* Junior glances to Terra.
* Terra` was more talking to Dias there
* Dias crosses his arms
* Project-Diamond yawns.
* Junior looks to DS.
* DeathStar looks at Junior.
<Junior> The only other option isn't something I want to become involved in politically.
<DeathStar> ...What?
<Junior> Dias isn't the only one with a link to the Motenks.
* DeathStar pauses, then stiffens.
* Dias narrows his eyes, waiting for DS's response
<Terra`> ...
<Project-Diamond> NRP: lmao
<Junior> I will let you decide, since I can't 'force' you to do anything. You have your mission however. Test the weapon.
* Junior picks up his datapad, and heads for the door. He seems weighted down.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: *cries*
* Katrina` glances at the muted Diamond still on the screen
* Kio sighs and leans back..rather tired of these test missions..hell look at the last one
* Project-Diamond claws at the screen.
<Project-Diamond> Aw cmon now!
<DeathStar> Someone unmute that person and see what they want. *rubs his eyes*
<Dias> Now that the dictator has left, let's discuss what we should do.
* Katrina` reaches over and unmutes Diamond.
<Project-Diamond> Wait, can I talk yet?
* Project-Diamond looks around.
* Kio glances around..noticing the figure on the screen 14"Who is that?"
<Project-Diamond> Helllo! My name is Diamond! I'm lost and, *looks down* Now seem to be out of fuel!
* Dias turns to the screen, studying Diamond
* DeathStar rubs his face, looking at the screen
* Kio snickers sarcastically 14"You shouldn't have been dumb and wandered off in space"
* Project-Diamond seems to look exactly like an olllld friend >.>
<Project-Diamond> NRP: cept white hair
<DeathStar> ...what the hell...?
<Kio> 14"What?"
<Project-Diamond> S..something wrong?
* DeathStar hits the mute button again.
<Terra`> Looks familiar...
<Project-Diamond> NRP: talk about me i gotta eat dinner
<Project-Diamond> NRP: brb
<DeathStar> That's a machine created by the Motenks.
<Kio> 14"..what?"
<DeathStar> We encountered one before.
<Terra`> You're kidding...
<DeathStar> Crescent.
<Kio> 14"Blow it up.."
* Dias raises his eyebrow
* DeathStar stands there, looking worn out
<Katrina`> Wait, are you sure?
<Kio> 14"Dammit..blow it up!"
* DeathStar taps a button, locking the station's weapons it.
<Kio> 14"For all we know..its an assassination robot"
* DeathStar eyes the fire button.
<Terra`> It might be the key, though.
<Kio> 14"But then again..if we rip open its memory bank..it could hold motenk info"
<Dias> I suppose we could use him to try and bring a ship out...*he says it blandly*
<DeathStar> ...
* DeathStar sighs, contacting Junior and telling him the situation
<Project-Diamond> Wow, I'm really getting hungry.
<Dias> I don't see how he can be a leader...*shakes his head*
<Katrina`> What's your problem with him, Dias?
* Katrina` looks at Dias curiously.
* Junior comes to let him on, but with caution.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: Im back :|
* DeathStar unmutes the comm.
<Dias> I don't think he's worthy of being a leader.
<DeathStar> you may enter the hanger on floor 12.
<Project-Diamond> Oh! Hello again!
<Dias> NRP: BRB
<Project-Diamond> Thank you! Which direction is that?
<Katrina`> And why do you believe that?
<DeathStar> Follow the beacon.
<Project-Diamond> Yes, yes of course, I thank you.
* DeathStar ends the communication, then looks around at everyone. His shoulders sag
* Project-Diamond follows the beacon over to the hangar on floor 12.
<DeathStar> We need t oget things ready for this mission operation.
<Dias> NTP: Back
* Project-Diamond waits for the hangar doors to open.
<DeathStar> GM: *so sad...the doors are open*
* Project-Diamond wishes he was a mind reader. He docks in the hangar and waits for the doors to close then.
<Terra`> Will Strife be coming?
<DeathStar> No.
<DeathStar> GM: *the shields go back up behind Diamond's ship*
<Terra`> ... okay..
* Katrina` waits for Dias to answer.
<Terra`> I guess we can trust him to hold the fort, though.
* Project-Diamond hops out of the ship and looks around. "Wow! Big."
<DeathStar> Yeah. Whatever. *he says, sitting down in a chair*
<Dias> Partly because he's spending time here instead of at the Alliance HQ where he should be.
<Katrina`> And who says he should be there?
<Project-Diamond> Hmm.. where should I go? *Looks for an elevator of some sort.*
* Kio sighs..leaning back in his chair 14"We let him on board?"
* DeathStar doesn't bother responding to Kio. He just leans back in his seat.
* Junior is now known as Gar-gone
<DeathStar> GM: *there are indeed elevators and stairs and whatnot
* Project-Diamond travels onto the elevator, looking for a bridge button or something to that degree.
<DeathStar> GM: *Wow. Once again, it's there! As floor #!)
<DeathStar> (1)
<Dias> Think of it this way...You're a leader of a small faction. But you decide to spend your time in another area...For whatever reason, the longer you're gone, the more faith people lose in you. A leader needs to be next to his people to help them believe in something...
* Project-Diamond presses one! DeathStar has been deemed as captain obvious!
<Katrina`> And we're his whole investigation team for finding out how to beat them, Dias. He needs to be here with us to help win the war.
<Katrina`> I'm sorry, but you're being unreasonable with how you're reacting to his being here.
<Dias> He can do that through the comm stations. We're able to guide ourselves.
<Katrina`> I don't think we are, Dias. Snipe didn't seem to think so.
<Kio> 14"Where is he anyway?"
* DeathStar props his head up with his hand
* Project-Diamond steps out of the elevator whenever it touches down.
<Dias> So if one person believes something, then everyone else should?
* Katrina` shakes her head at Dias, then stands up
<Katrina`> I see why John left. *she walks out, passing Diamond*
* Kio pulls out a deck of cards and plays solitare
* Dias watches Katrina go
* Project-Diamond smiles at Katrina, then walks forward. "Well hello!"
* DeathStar eyes Diamond.
* Dias looks at the newcomer
* Project-Diamond smiles at all of them warmly.
* Kio just looks at his game of cards..ignoring the bickering voices behind him
<Dias> NRP: AHHH Kio's ARIEL!
<Ariel> NRP: Half of the original hunters played solitare.
<Dias> NRP: That's the key to their power!
* DeathStar stands up, walking down the stairs and to the hanger.
* Kio sighs and picks up his cards..pocketing them 14"I don't know about you guys..but i give a damn if earth lives or not...." 2Heads after deathstar to the hanger
<Project-Diamond> W..where's everyone going?
* DeathStar enters the hanger, glancing at the Gears as they are being loade with the chemicals, as well as some of the shuttles.
<Terra`> Don't worry about it?
* Terra` heads out towards the hangar
<Kio> 14"What if you don't know how to pilot one of these things.." 2Glances are deathstar
* Project-Diamond blinks and follows them.
<DeathStar> ... Can't fly a gear or shuttle?
* Project-Diamond looks at the gears. "Hey! I can fly these!"
<Kio> 14"I can moderatly fly them..but i doubt i can in a combat situation"
* DeathStar looks at Diamond
<Kio> 14"please tell me we are not taking him"
<DeathStar> We are NOT taking him.
<Project-Diamond> Taking me where?
* Project-Diamond tilts his head.
* Dias walks over and steps on the elevator, taking it down to the hanger
<DeathStar> Alright, Kio, you and I will take a shuttle together.
<Kio> 14"Whos going to lead this mission?"
<DeathStar> ..... *frowns* ...... Me.
* Project-Diamond scratches his head wondering what's going on.
<Kio> 14"Are you..sure? After the dome incident.."
* Dias steps off the elevator into the hanger and walks over to his row of gears, looking at them
<DeathStar> .... who will lead then ....
<Project-Diamond> Are you guys going into battle or something?
<Kio> 14"Well.theres me and you..who else is going?"
<DeathStar> Dias, it seems.
* Dias looks over at DS, studying him
<Terra`> I'm not a bad pilot either.
* Project-Diamond glances at DeathStar, "I could go. I'm pretty good at piloting gears."
* DeathStar looks at Diamond, gritting his teeth
<DeathStar> You're here to get your fuel and go.
* Dias turns back to his gears and walks upto a red and black one
<Project-Diamond> Actually.. I was wondering if I could join you. I'm tired.. of being a drifter. Though.. I have to find my brother.
<DeathStar> ....
<Terra`> This isn't the best place...
<Kio> 14"...this is how sabotage happens"
<Project-Diamond> I don't know why I was activated.. or who activated me.. but.. Crescent has to be destroyed..
<Project-Diamond> After looking over the data I have.. I've found that the people who have created also have terrible intentions..
* DeathStar looks at Kio as Diamond talks.
* Dias motions to some technicians to load up a chemical onto his gear
<Project-Diamond> I don't want anything bad to happen.. I want to help out this Earth.
* Kio looks at deathstar 14"Maybe he can tell use weaknesses of the motenk.."
<Project-Diamond> I can't let.. I can't let it happen!
<DeathStar> ...
<DeathStar> How do you defeat the Motenks, then?
<Project-Diamond> I.. I don't know.
<Project-Diamond> I'm going to try, no matter what.
<Kio> 14"..lets eject him into space"
* Dias walks upto the gear and begins to prep it
<Project-Diamond> If I had that kind of information, I would share it with you.
<DeathStar> ....
<DeathStar> Terra, get a gear ready.
<DeathStar> Dias will need someone with the counter substance.
* Project-Diamond sighs. "I..."
<DeathStar> I don't trust you.
* DeathStar says simply to Diamond, then walks to the shuttle.
<Project-Diamond> I..I didn't expect you to..
<Terra`> I'm better at piloting shuttles.
* Project-Diamond looks over at Deathstar, a few teardrops fall from his eyes.
<DeathStar> We don't have anyone else here that can fly a gear.
<Kio> 14"I doubt the motenks would lose control of a model..they are too advanced.." 2He follows deathstar
<Terra`> I've... never done it before, myself...
* DeathStar sighs, then waves Terra to the shuttle with Kio
<DeathStar> Alright, you two take the shuttle.
<Project-Diamond> ....
<Terra`> ... right.
* Terra` heads to the shuttle, then
<Kio> 14"...uhh..can i take a mech.." 2He twitches slightly
<DeathStar> ... yes.
* Dias crosses his arms, looking at the Exodus
<Project-Diamond> It's.. it's all too late..
<Project-Diamond> B..brother..
* Project-Diamond looks up.
* DeathStar eyes Diamond talking to himself, then understands why this model might have been let go - glitch
* Kio crosses his arms 14"Put the damn kid in a mech..deathstar and i will take a shuttle..i will keep a gun on the kids mech at all times"
<DeathStar> ... Fine. Take a gear. *he says to Diamond*
* Terra` gets into the shuttle, trying not to think about what else is going on
<Project-Diamond> NRP: I GOTTA SWITCH
* Dias begins to run diagnostic checks on his gear
<Project-Diamond> NRP: to another comp
* Project-Diamond has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Katrina` walks out finally, ready. She looks at the shuttles.
<DeathStar> I'll co-pilot with Terra.
* DeathStar walks onto Terra's shuttle.
* Katrina` looks at Kio, then at the second shuttle.
* DeathStar sits down next to Terra, buckling in.
<Kio> 14"..right.." 2He sighs and sits in the pilot seat of the shuttle..he might not be an ace..but
<Terra`> What's wrong with Kio?
* Katrina` moves into the shuttle, sitting in the co-pilot seat beside Kio. She says nothign
<DeathStar> What do you mean.
<Terra`> I thought you were going to copilot for him?
<DeathStar> You needed a co-pilot.
<Terra`> He... seems edgy, though...
<Terra`> Ah, okay
* DeathStar enters a set of coordinates, then transfers it to everyone else.
* Dias hops up into his gear, entering it
* Dias is now known as Exodus`
<DeathStar> Comm: Lets ... try this spot. Everyone is free to do what they want in this. I don't care what you do or how you do it.
* Kio closes the shuttle door and starts up the engines..waiting till they come online 14"Comm: Heh alright.."
<Exodus`> Comm: It's good to know we don't have a set way to draw them out.
* Project-Diamond has joined #taw
<Project-Diamond> NRP: what did I miss?
<Exodus`> NRP: 1/2 the session
* Katrina` buckles herself in and helps Kio start the shuttle up.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: no i was switching computers
<Project-Diamond> NRP: i've been here since the beginning of the session
* DeathStar waits for Terra to take them out.
<Terra`> NRP: Not much. People got in shuttles or gears.
* Exodus` stands upright fully, power conduits dropping off and landing on the floor
* Terra` starts the shuttle up
* Project-Diamond hops in a gear as he was told, his hands go inside of the console.
<Kio> 14"Do you see why now i have no need for friends..?" 2He giuves a glance torward katrina..noting the incident before heading out of the hangar
<Katrina`> I understand now. *she agrees sullenly*
* Project-Diamond synchronizes with the gear.
* Exodus` walks over to the launch pad and hooks up, seconds later, the Exodus is ejected out into space
* Terra` launches into space
* Project-Diamond launches into space.
<Kio> 14"I'll treat you to a bear when we get back.." 2Though his words are cold..trying to cover up the fact..that he might be doing something NICE. Kio sighs and glances out the shuttle windows..following the mechs lead
<Exodus`> NRP: Gears.
<Kio> Nrp: Right..gears!
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. Bear.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Kio hands Kat a bear and it eats her*
<Kio> NRP: Erk beer
* Katrina` glances at Kio, then offers a brief smile, looking back out.
<DeathStar> We're ready for hyperspace, Terra.
* Exodus` barrelrolls away from the station, his energy trail leading behind
<Terra`> Think Kio still hates me for... the bomb incident?
<DeathStar> .... Yes.
<Terra`> ... thought so.
* Terra` sighs, and heads into hyperspace
<Exodus`> *Dias looks at the coordinates he's been giving to see what part of space they're going to*
* Exodus` slows down a stop, waiting for the others to catch up
* Kio taps in the said coordinates, waiting for katrina to get ready to jump into hyperspace.
<DeathStar> GM: *they are heading to a spot of space that the Motenks have hit on their planet hopping schedule*
<Katrina`> We're ready. *she pulls the lever, sending them into hyperspace*
* Exodus` pulls his lever, his gear entering hyperspace
* Project-Diamond triggers the command with his mind, following them through hyperspace.
<Terra`> I'm never going to live that down...
<DeathStar> .... *says nothing*
<DeathStar> NRP: *elevator music plays as they travel through hyperspace*
* Terra` checks the co-ords while travelling
<Project-Diamond> NRP: *8-bit music would be better.*
* Kio hmms and looks at the weapons lever..pondering aiming at the other shuttle..but he remembers death stars in there 14"Nah.."
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL!
<Exodus`> NRP: It wouldn't work anyways. *remembers the Fury*
<DeathStar> NRP: Kio is like Simmons - he'll slit Terra's throat in her sleep
<DeathStar> GM: *after some traveling, the team emerges from hyperspace near a planet system - all is quiet and dark here*
<Kio> Comm: 14"So how do we draw them out?"
<Project-Diamond> Comm: ....
<DeathStar> Comm: I do not know.
<Exodus`> Comm: Apparently I'm supposed to turn into DarkHeart and magically draw them out.
<Terra`> Comm: Well, if no-one has any better ideas...
<Project-Diamond> Comm: ......
<Exodus`> Comm: Big problem is, if it does work. They could send 4 ships at us. And I can assure you all we won't survive.
<Kio> Comm: 14"Comforting"
<Terra`> Comm: Yeah...
<DeathStar> Comm: ....
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Hmm..
<Exodus`> Comm: So let me ask Death Star since he's been put in command. Do you want me to do so?
<DeathStar> Comm: Your call.
<Kio> Comm: 14"We could always send the kid out.."
<Project-Diamond> Comm: I'm 90,000 years old human time.
<Exodus`> Comm: It is, but I prefer we all decide on this, since that's what a team is supposed to do.
<Katrina`> Comm: We're a team? *she says with a hint of sarcasm*
<Kio> Comm: 14"You could be 120,000 for all i care..your still a kid to me"
<Terra`> 90,000 years old, and senile, it seems.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: I've only been around for a few months. Anyway, I'll be happy to do whatever is necessary.
* DeathStar leans bck in his seat, rubbing his face.
<Terra`> Comm: So does anyone have any plans for what to do if we're outclassed?
<Exodus`> Comm: Well we should atleast act like one right Kat?
<Project-Diamond> Comm: I could destroy them from the inside..
<Katrina`> Comm: ...
<Kio> Comm: 14"Run"
<Exodus`> Comm: No you can't kid.
<Terra`> Comm: Sounds good to me.
<Kio> Comm: 14"If we get outclassed, that planet there could act as sufficient cover until we can contact junior"
* DeathStar rubs his cross pendant, then does an open frequency
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Heartless.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: IF we're going to contact them.. Let me do it!
<DeathStar> Comm: Mr. President, I think we're near the area of the attackers. We'll provide you cover until we're near.
<Exodus`> Comm: We could try using the planet as cover, but they might blow it up. It is the best chance for us to use to enter hyperspace Kio.
* Katrina` hears DS' message, confused.
<Kio> Comm: 14"They can pursuit, and with such diminutive shuttles..they will destroy us in hyperspace"
<Exodus`> *smiles at the open frequency* Smart...very smart.
<Terra`> Nice bluff.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: ...
<Terra`> Comm: We'll just have to not get caught then.
<Exodus`> Comm: True, but I doubt that Jr. will send a fleet to save us.
* Terra` grins, almost enjoying this
<Exodus`> Comm: They're coming...
<Kio> Comm: 14"We are firing chemicals on them, we are gonna get caught
<Exodus`> *begins to flips switches*
<Terra`> Comm: Kio...
* DeathStar leans forward, running scans.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: If you let me draw them out and hide somewhere, you can fire on them.
<Kio> Comm: 14"What?"
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Seems like a game of chance.
<Exodus`> Comm: Hey kid your in a standard Miltary Gear, nothing fancy.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: They know who I am.
<Exodus`> *Dias closes his eyes concentrating*
<Terra`> Comm: This isn't the time.. I'll tell you later.
<Kio> Comm: 14"Anyway..what can we use for cover..any local asterioud belts?"
* Exodus` begins scanning the solar system, looking for points of interest
<DeathStar> GM: *there seems to be nothing in the area they can use*
* Terra` also scans for any uninhabited bodies big enough to hide behind
<Kio> Comm: 14"Seems a close quarter engagement is inevitable"
<DeathStar> GM: *suddenly, a Motenk Cone Ship appears, obviously a scout. It stands before them, almost invisible in the blackness of space*
<Exodus`> Comm: Let's hope this stuff works because we have nothing here to use as help.
<Katrina`> Comm: They're here.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Let me contact them.
* Exodus` begins to float to the side of the group
<Terra`> Why DID we bring him?
<DeathStar> GM: *the scout ship begins to scan them all*
* Kio begins to prep both chemical tanks
<Exodus`> NRP: Doesn't Kio only have one chemical tank?
<Exodus`> Comm: We need to make our move now..
<Kio> NRP: Do shuttles have one or 2?
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah, each shuttle has 1 of each
* Terra` preps her tank
<Kio> Nrp: One tank then!
<DeathStar> GM: *the Motenk Cone Ship fires at Terra's ship*
* Exodus` boosters kick on and it spirals towards the Cone Ship
* Terra` dodges to one side
<DeathStar> GM: *it predicts her new location and fires as she rolls there*
<Terra`> Bloody... no warning..
<DeathStar> Look out!
* Terra` keeps darting away, paying more attention to not being hit than firing
* Project-Diamond activates his thrusters, and then fires with his rifle towards the Cone Ship, locking on instantly.
<DeathStar> GM: *more lasers fire at Kio's shuttle*
<DeathStar> gM: *Diamond does no damage*
<Kio> NrP: Is there multiple ships now?
<DeathStar> NRP: No.
<Terra`> NRP: Just the one
<DeathStar> NRP: It's just splitting fire.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Toughie..
<DeathStar> GM: *three lasers blasts fly at Terra in a triangle formation.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: haha I suppose I can't really do anything
<Katrina`> We have incoming blasts, Kio.
* Exodus` drops low going for the underneath of the Cone Ship, it reorientates it's self
* Terra` moves into range, swerving between the lasers
* Kio presses the lef to the right..causing it roughtly barrel roll in the air..making some of the junk in the shuttle fall from their compartments. 14"I know..i'll take evasion..you try to spray the damn sho[
* Terra` makes damn sure she doesn't get hit
<Kio> *ship*
<Katrina`> Understood
* Katrina` begins to work on the aiming devices.
<DeathStar> GM: *fires five blasts at Kio, trying to box him in*
<Terra`> C'mon... opening...
<DeathStar> GM: *fires a huge blast at Terra that's 3 times the size of her shuttle*
* Exodus` flips a switch, and the a nozzle begins to spray at the underside of the ship, sending it's chemical at it
<Terra`> SHIT!!! *moves to one side, quick, losing her aim*
* Kio presses his lever down..activing his thrusters. The current takes him up into the space, causing the blasts to graze the bottom of the shuttle
<DeathStar> Comm: Diamond, you have a chemical on your gear that compliments Exodus' chemical. Fire yours where he fires his.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Understood.
* Exodus` swoops along the bottom of the ship spraying at it as he goes by
* Terra` keeps moving, waiting for an opening where she can fire without being destroyed in the process
* Katrina` fires at the top of the ship
* Terra` fires, at last
* Project-Diamond looks to where Exodus is firing, as does the gear. He then makes the gear fire the chemical, following Exodus's path.
<DeathStar> We need to fire where Kio is firing his.
<Terra`> Got it. *is aiming there*
* Exodus` quikly pulls back, feeling he's overstayed his welcome for now
<DeathStar> GM: *the foam substance begins to form from Diamond/Exodus*
<DeathStar> GM: *the foam substance begins to cover the top and bottom of the Cone Ship*
* Exodus` spins around and comes flying back towards the ship this time heading up and around it, spraying as he goes
<Katrina`> It seems to be working.
<DeathStar> GM: *the Cone Ship stops firing strangely, as if trying to make out what the hell is happening*
* Project-Diamond continues following Exodus's path of fire with his own.
<Kio> 14"Good..if this works we should head back..chances are the main fleet will be here soon"
<DeathStar> Comm: Alright, back away. Lets blow the foam up.
* Terra` keeps watching, ready to fire or flee, but just waiting to see the effects for now
* Exodus` spins around and begins boosting backwards
* Project-Diamond thrusts backwads.
* Terra` starts away from the ship
* Katrina` leans forward ,watching.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: backwads.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: D:
* Kio rolls to the side
* DeathStar grabs the trigger device, waiting. He then simply pushes the button. There's a giant explosion where the Cone Ship was at*
<Project-Diamond> Comm: It worked.
* Exodus` spins around facing the cone ship, and floats there as the shockwave flies by him
* Terra` watches, not about to assume anything where the Motenks are concerned
<Kio> Comm: 14"Are you sure?"
<DeathStar> GM: *the smoke clears and the Cone Ship.......is there. Though a huge chunk is missing now. It turns and begins to try to escape*
* Exodus` locks onto the huge chunk and begins to fire on it with his gatling guns
<Exodus`> Comm: Lock onto it's spot and fire!
<Terra`> Comm: It's not totally destroyed, but it definitely did a number on it
<Kio> 14"We can't let him warn the others..fire
<DeathStar> Comm: Destroy it
* Terra` fires on the spot on the ship
* Katrina` fires at the ship.
* Project-Diamond fires at it.
* Exodus` boosters ignite and the Exodus boosts towards back at the Cone ship
<DeathStar> GM: *The Cone Ship begins to rock as parts of it explode from it. It begins to spin out of control*
* Project-Diamond continues his lock, firing.
* Terra` keeps firing, and stays out of the Cone Ship's path
<Exodus`> Comm: EVERYONE BACK OFF NOW!!!
<DeathStar> GM: *the cone ship begins to glow purple*
* Exodus` suddenly breaks to a stop then begins to boost away
* Kio spins upwards..and boosts away
<DeathStar> GM: *it suddenly explodes, sending a massive wave of purple energy out*
* Terra` turns to break away
* Project-Diamond turns his thrusters to 100% and boosts backwards rapidly.
* Terra` moves away QUICKLY
<DeathStar> ...
* Kio turns the shuttle around and boosts at maximum capicity 14"Set coordinates to the station and go into hyperspace!"
* Exodus` turns it's head back trying to see where the shockwave is heading
<DeathStar> GM: *suddenly 5 real Motenk Cone Ships appear*
<Exodus`> Comm: We need to get out of here...
* Katrina` nods, entering the coordinates into the computer.
<Terra`> Hyperspace?
<DeathStar> Yes.
* Terra` sets the coordinates in
* Project-Diamond prepares to jump to hyperspace, punching the coords in.
<DeathStar> GM: *they begin to fly after the group, speeding after them*
* Exodus` hits the coordinates and pulls the hyperspace lever
<DeathStar> GM: *they launch Cone Fighters after them*
* Kio helps kat and presses the lever
* Project-Diamond follows them through hyperspace quickly.
* DeathStar yanks the lever for Terra.
* Terra` jumps into hyperspace, speeding away from the ships
<DeathStar> GM: *suddenly, the cone fighters appear in hyperspace, chasing after them*
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Not good.
<Exodus`> Comm: I have an idea....Get ready to dump your chemicals behind you...
* Terra` gets ready to do just that
<DeathStar> GM: *hyperspace scrambles their comms*
* Kio begins to detach the chemical tank 14"Comm: Alright on it"
* Kio glances down 14"Damn..maybe they will get the picture
<Katrina`> What do you plan to do?
<Exodus`> Damnt! 6*the Exodus reaches it's hand back and begins spraying it's remaining chemical backwards at the Chone fighters*
<DeathStar> GM: *the Motenk fighters open fire on them.*
* Project-Diamond sprays on the chemicals that exodus released.
<Exodus`> *swerves to the side, shots flying by him
* Terra` dumps the chemicals on the Motenks, dodging fire
<DeathStar> Don't get hit, Terra. We have no shields in hyperspace.
* Project-Diamond begins evading whilst spraying.
<Kio> 14"Once the chemical tank detaches..make a turret fire on it..it should spread across the ships"
* Exodus` quickly stops spraying as foam begins to follow up his spray
<Katrina`> We can't shoot in hyperspace, Kio.
<Katrina`> Our ships aren't designed to.
<Terra`> I know..
<DeathStar> GM: *the motenk fighters begin to get foamed in hyperspace, stopping*
<Kio> 14"Oh right.."
* Exodus` quickly reaims and sprays more
<Terra`> Can you detonate the chemicals here, or not?
* Project-Diamond follows Exodus's lead.
* Kio stops and fires the rest of his spray then 14"I forgot about that.."
<DeathStar> I probably can try. But I don't know what an explosion will do to us.
<Terra`> ... yeah... could be bad.
* Exodus` emptys it's tank and detaches it, it flying backwards towards the Fighters
* Terra` tries to get as much distance from the fighters as possible
<DeathStar> GM: *two fighters escape the foam and keep chasing them, leaving it's foamed friends behind*
<Katrina`> We still have two.
* Project-Diamond continues his maximization of thrusters in hyperspace.
* Exodus` begins barrelrolling around trying to dodge fire
<DeathStar> GM: *the two ships keep firing at them*
<Kio> 14"I still got my chemicals.." 2He sighs and begins to spray behind him while rolling to the side
* Project-Diamond boosts up and down, left and right, trying his hardest to avoid fire.
<DeathStar> GM: *the fighters fly through the spray*
* Terra` jinks(?) from side to side, doing her best to dodge fire
<Exodus`> *Dias tries his comm again, seeing if it's still staticy*
<DeathStar> GM: *it is*
<DeathStar> GM: *their computers alert them to the fact they're coming up on their exit point*
* Exodus` gets ready to pull the hyperspace lever
* Terra` gets ready to leave hyperspace, and not a moment too soon
<DeathStar> GM: *one fighter begins to gain on Terra*
<Kio> 14"Dammit..the other chemical should do it..!"
<Katrina`> They must not have been hit by the other chemical.
* Katrina` grabs the hyperspace lever.
<DeathStar> GM: *they can exit now!*
* Exodus` pulls it, dropping out of hyperspace
* Project-Diamond sprays the rest of his remaining chemical on them.
* Terra` grabs the lever..and pulls!
* Project-Diamond then drops out.
* Katrina` pulls the lever.
<DeathStar> GM: *they appear in front of the station*
<Exodus`> Comm: IF they make it through we need to keep them from comming their friends.
<Exodus`> ...Damnt!
<Project-Diamond> Comm: ....
* DeathStar frowns.
<Exodus`> NRP: Comm's still staticy.
<DeathStar> GM: *comm's back to normal in real space*
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Detonate them!
<Kio> Comm: 14"I got them with my chemical..if you any have the opposite..it would be much obliged
<DeathStar> Comm: Signal won't go into hyperspace.
<DeathStar> Comm: Me and Terra would have to re-enter and do it.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: I think I've run dry of the chemical.
<Exodus`> Comm: Should've hit the signal right before we dropped out...If they go back, they've got the chemical then..
<Terra`> ... lets do it.
* DeathStar glances at Terra, then nods
<DeathStar> Alright.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Good luck.
* Terra` jumps back into hyperspace, ready to pull out again once the signal's sent
<DeathStar> GM: *the second they enter hyperspace, the two fighters swoop in and shoot at the shuttle from behind*
* Katrina` watches the two leave.
<Kio> 14"Now what?"
* Terra` jinks, barely avoiding the hit
<Exodus`> Comm: We wait...
* DeathStar grabs the trigger, then presses it. The foamed fighters explodes, sending shockwaves through hyperspace*
<Project-Diamond> Comm: We pray..
* Terra` jumps back OUT of hyperspace, quickly
<DeathStar> GM: *even as Terra exits, the shockwave hits their shuttle, frying it and sending it out of control through space*
* Terra` tries to regain control
<Exodus`> Comm: Station, run long-range scans for Death Star and Terra's shuttle.
<DeathStar> GM: *it spins out of control toward the station*
<Katrina`> Comm: I see them, Dias. Other side of the station.
<Exodus`> NRP: So they didn't stay in their long enough...
<Exodus`> *hits his boosters, twisting around towards the station*
<Terra`> NRP: What? You WANTED us destroyed?
* DeathStar hangs on as the station gets larger in front of them
<Gar-gone> NRP: It'd give him something to complain about. :p
<Exodus`> Comm: No, I thought you were in their long enough to drop out farther.
<Exodus`> NRP: That was NRP
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Dang!
* Katrina` watches their shuttle get closer to the station.
<Kio> 14"Gah..."
* Exodus` drops under the statio and boosts up and around it, heading towards the shuttle
* Terra` gains control enough to stop the spinning, trying to change direction
<DeathStar> Computer: Impact in 5 seconds...
<DeathStar> Computer: Impact in 4 seconds...
<DeathStar> Computer: Impact in 3 seconds...
<DeathStar> Computer: Impact in 2 seconds...
* Exodus` comes up from underneath it and tries to grab it
* Terra` suddenly thrusts AWAY from the station!
<DeathStar> Computer: Impact in 1 seconds...
<DeathStar> GM: *as th shuttle can't thrust, Exodus is the one to stop it from hitting*
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Whew! I'm glad you're all okay!
<Terra`> Comm: ... yeah... *sounds shaken*
<Kio> 14"..I'm tired of this shit.."
* Katrina` looks at Kio
* Exodus` pushes the shuttle upwards and away from the station, he slows down to a halt
<Katrina`> You're going to quit...? *she asks softly*
<Terra`> Comm: Thanks Dias...
<Kio> 14"no..i'm just tired of it.."
* DeathStar sits there, silent.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Do we dock?
<Katrina`> ...
<Exodus`> Comm: You guys ok?
<Terra`> Comm: Just shaken..
* Kio turns the shuttle to head into a open hanger
* Exodus` begins to tow the shuttle into the hanger
* Project-Diamond lands in the hangar.
<Project-Diamond> Comm: Exasperating!
* Exodus` enters the hanger and sets the shuttle down
* Kio lands in the shuttle and sighs 14"How about that beer?"
<Katrina`> Alright.
* Exodus` lands on the ground and walks towards it's stall, it kneels down and the hatch opens
* Exodus` is now known as Dias
* Person has joined #taw
* Dias hops out of the Exodus and lands on the ground
* Terra` climbs out of the shuttle, still looking shaken
* Kio opens the hatch before sliding out of the shuttle
* Person walks out, their cowboy boots clopping on the ground, their brown trench coat swishing to their side, and their hat tilted down in their face, with a rifle slung over their right shoulder
* Project-Diamond hops out of the military gear, activating his own feet boosters to soften his landing.
<Person> Well well...you haven't changed much.
* Terra` blinks, looking at the Person
* Dias looks over at the person
* Project-Diamond tilts his head as he looks at the person.
* Katrina` looks over at the person
* DeathStar steps out, eyeing the person
* Gar-gone is now known as Junior
* Person tilts their hat out of their eyes
* Person is now known as Snipe
* Kio notices everyone eyeing the person..and simply shrugs
* Dias looks at Snipe
<Dias> ...Why the hell are you dressed as a cowboy?
<Katrina`> John?
<Project-Diamond> ..?
<Terra`> I thought you'd left...?
<Dias> *a smile appears on his face*
<Snipe> Well, I was dragged out of my local country bar by Slasher to tell me all about your little stunts here.
<DeathStar> ....
* DeathStar walks off.
* Katrina` smiles
<Katrina`> You haven't changed either, John.
<Dias> It's good to know you haven't stopped our tradition.
<Terra`> Welcome back?
* Snipe taps the rifle on his shoulder, nodding to Terra, then looks at Dias oddly, then at the others.
<Snipe> I've been talking with Junior while you were gone.
* Kio leans against the shuttle..listening
* Project-Diamond smiles warmly. "Hello there!" He walks over to Snipe and extends a hand. "My name is Diamond."
<Dias> Well we do have good news for him.
* Snipe eyes Diamond, raising his eyebrow.
* Snipe grabs his hat and dumps it on Diamond's head.
<Project-Diamond> Huh?
* Junior steps into the hanger, hands in his pockets
* Project-Diamond tilts his head and looks up.
* Katrina` looks over at Junior.
* Terra` looks over at Junior. "It worked."
* Dias looks over at Jr.
* Junior nods once to Terra`
<Dias> Well it worked on a Scout Ship.
<Dias> So in theory it should have a fair chance with their War Ships.
* Junior pulls out his datapad and tacks something onto it.
<Junior> NRP: *Dias gets a migrane*
<Katrina`> How long are you back this time, John?
<Snipe> However long it takes. *taps his rifle against his shoulder*
* Dias runs his hands through his hair looking at Snipe
* Project-Diamond points up to the hat. "What's with this?"
<Dias> Nice duds padner.
* Snipe glances at Dias
<Snipe> Retard.
<Kio> 14"Bout time..our chain of command is kinda shitty right now.."
* Dias laughs
<Terra`> ... you know he just saved my life, don't you?
* Junior glances at Kio.
<Snipe> Who did?
<Terra`> Dias.
* Project-Diamond keeps looking at the hat.
<Snipe> He's still a retard.
<Dias> He's right, I am.
<Kio> 14"Not you junior.."
* Terra` looks like she's about to argue the point, pauses, and then just nods
<Junior> I see. Well, I need to get back to work.
<Snipe> Are you talking about DS, then, Kio?
<Kio> 14"No..technically..we didn't have a leader that mission..people made suggestions as guidelines"
* Dias walks up next to Snipe and looks him over
<Terra`> It worked.
* Snipe glances at Junior
<Snipe> We'll talk more later.
<Project-Diamond> Oh, um by the way, I actually was wondering if I could join you guys? I don't know if I would be that much of an asset..
* Junior nods once, heading out.
<Project-Diamond> But I..I want to help.
<Kio> 14"It will not work all the time.."
<Terra`> Kio, you did realise... oh, forget it. It's not important.
<Terra`> And... yeah, we could use a good leader.
<Snipe> I'll talk to Junior about your request for a solidified leader.
<Terra`> Thanks.
* Project-Diamond keeps his smile despite the ignoring.
<Snipe> Keep the hat. *he tells Diamond, then walks off*
* Kio smirks at terra 14"That the rocket incident was an accident..i'm over that, its the sole fact you taunted my leadership and my plans during the slug thing while not helping..and it worked too.." 2He smirks..listening to the conversation
<Project-Diamond> Oh, um.. Thanks.
* Katrina` watches Snipe go.
<Dias> ...*quickly runs after Snipe, trying to catch up with him*
* Snipe glances over his shoulder, as if knowing Dias would follow
<Snipe> Yeah, buddy?
* DeathStar looks at Kio and Terra talking now.
<DeathStar> NRP: Scratch that, DS left.
<Dias> What's with the change of attitude suddenly?
* Project-Diamond looks down. "I wonder what I should do now?"
<Snipe> What do you mean?
<Terra`> ...
<Kio> Nrp: Lol
<Terra`> Please... don't MENTION the SLUGS
* Terra` shudders even thinking of them
<Dias> Change in clothes...The different attitude...
<Kio> 14"Regardless..it was my plan that saved this station..and you taunted me like i was an idiot..i refuse to hold respect to something who thinks i'm just a fool.." 2He sighs..rather tired of this conversation and walks to the elevator
* Snipe laughs
<Kio> *someone*
* Project-Diamond walks in the direction DeathStar had went, trying to catch up with him.
* Katrina` watches Kio leave, then walks off next.
* Terra` sighs a bit
* DeathStar stands in a quiet room with a view of the stars, leaning forward.
<Snipe> Like my new clothes?
<Dias> NRP: Terra: Well it's because you are a fool.
* Dias laughs patting Snipe on the back
<Dias> Ya look like a stud.
<Kio> Nrp: *Axe murders dias*
* Project-Diamond walks into the room, looking at DeathStar. "Uh.. DeathStar, sir?"
* DeathStar looks at Diamond
<DeathStar> Yeah?
<Dias> Or that you're about to russel up some cows.
* Snipe leans against Dias
* Dias laughs lightly
<Project-Diamond> Earlier.. you acted like you really had something against me.. However, I've never met you before..
<Snipe> One day, I will so kick your ass.
* Project-Diamond walks closer to him.
<DeathStar> ....
<Dias> Yeah I am getting sick of this stale-mate.
<Dias> Wanna go get a beer so we can talk about the recent events?
* Terra` wanders away, thinking
<Snipe> Let me get a room and shower first. I've been in a shuttle for a long time.
* Dias pats him on the head
* DeathStar eyes Diamond
<Dias> Give me a comm when you're done. Hey how's your wifes doing?
<DeathStar> I have nothing against you.
<Snipe> She's doing great. Says you need to retire and go visit her.
* Project-Diamond looks at him. "Do you know my brother?"
* Dias shakes his head chuckling
<DeathStar> I really don't have anything to say right now.
<Project-Diamond> Oh. I see.
<Dias> Catch ya in a bit chief...*turns walking away*
* Snipe nods to Dias, then grabs a map, looking for a good room.
* Project-Diamond turns around. "Not sure where to go in this complex.."
* Snipe has left #taw
<Dias> Computer, where's Katrina.
<DeathStar> Computer: Katrina is in her room.
<DeathStar> Find a room.
<Kio> Nrp: Hey what happened to the beer!
<Dias> Comm: Katrina, can we meet at the bar?
<DeathStar> NRP: Kio and Terra arguing kind of ran her off!
<Terra`> NRP: Or the bear, for that matter!
<Project-Diamond> I hope one day you can tell me what you know..
<DeathStar> Hrm.
* Project-Diamond walks off.
<Katrina`> Comm: *no response, it's probably turned off*
* Dias sighs and turns, walking towards the elevator
