<Snipe> Session 219: Casualities of War
<Snipe> Time Chart: November 10th, 2223
<Snipe> Location: IT Station
<Nicolai> Jumpin Jimini
<Snipe> Narrator: Junior's new weapon, the exploding foam, was working miracles for the Alliance's side of the war. As each battle occurred, the Alliance managed to destroy a few Motenks ships before they got away again. This had been going on for nearly two weeks when...
* Katrina` has joined #Taw
* Snipe sits in the command room, looking at data files.
* Nicolai is standing nearby as well, throwing away candy wrappers from halloween
* Snipe glances at Nicolai, grimaces at the reminder of Halloween, scratches his head, then goes back to the data files.
* Project-Diamond walks into the hangar, looking for anyone who may be working there.
<Nicolai> So, whats our next move anyway?
<Snipe> Huh?
* Snipe looks up.
* Dias is infront of his gear, working on maintenence.
* Kio sits in the cafeteria, eating
<Nicolai> Well, I know they can't be planning for us to sit around and do nothing until this blows over
* Snipe smirks, leaning back in his seat arrogantly
<Snipe> And what would you like to do?
<Nicolai> I don't really know, but I feel like we should be doing more
<Snipe> We're an investigation unit. And we really don't have any thing to investigate right now.
* Project-Diamond looks about the hangar, wonderously looking at the gears and ships.
* Strife` has joined #taw
* Snipe pushes his glasses up his nose, then shrugs
<Snipe> But hey. I'm sure if you'd like, we could stick you in a gear and send you out to fight some Motenks!
* Kio gets up from his seat and heads into the elevator..moving up to the command room
<Nicolai> No, thats quite alright
* Strife` lounges at the security station, "Geez... some people need to learn to appreciate their much deserved breaks."
* Project-Diamond looks up at Dias, "Hello!"
<Nicolai> I've never piloted a gear before
* Katrina` is sleeping late, even though it's "afternoon" on the station
* Dias looks down from atop The Exodus and looks at Project-Diamond
<Dias> Uhhh...Hi?
<Nicolai> So why don't do something fun, since we have nothing to investigate. Something to boost moral
<Project-Diamond> Do you know if anything was sent from Earth here?
<Snipe> "Fun"? Alright...*crosses his arms* What would be fun for yo?
<Project-Diamond> NRP: yyeah yo g
* Kio stops at the command room, stepping out 14"Bah.." 2He sighs before sitting down
<Snipe> NRP: LOL
* Snipe looks at Kio
<Snipe> Bah to you, too.
<Nicolai> We could organize an event of some sort. Have a few little games setup
<Dias> ...Why would anything be coming from Earth?
<Snipe> After Dias' little Halloween party-turned-into-a-spiritual-haunting, I'm through with events.
<Project-Diamond> Well, I asked a favor of Mr. Slasher.
<Kio> 14'Those spirits were quite entertaining..i laughed for a while..then it got annoying"
* Dias looks down at him, with the most dead-pan look ever
<Strife`> Oh, you have to admit, that was ammusing.
<Nicolai> There's gotta be something we can do for entertainment
<Snipe> Well, there's a game called "guess what's in the airlock"
<Dias> ....Yeah....*he turns around back to his gear, sparks appear from atop the Exodus and come dropping down onto the ground*
<Project-Diamond> What's with that expression?
<Project-Diamond> Oh really? *he beams*
<Dias> *still working* Not yes yeah...yeah right yeah.....
* Snipe looks at Nicolai, seeing he must not be up for that particular game.
<Project-Diamond> NRP: was dias talking to me at all?
<Nicolai> No, I'm not
* Nichirasu has left #TAW
<Dias> NRP: Obviously, since no one else is around.
<Snipe> NRP: BRB.
<Strife`> *looks at Snipe* There's no way you're getting me to play that game AGAIN.
* Kio2 has joined #taw
<Nicolai> What do you mean again?
<Nicolai> you did it a first time?
<Project-Diamond> Do you know where what he sent is??
* Strife` turns to look intently at his blank screen, "Sorry, work calls."
* Kio has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Kio2)))
* Kio2 is now known as Kio
<Dias> God you're about as bright as a burnt-out lightbulb....
<Project-Diamond> Haha! Good one!
<Project-Diamond> NRP: you should feel inferior right about now :D
* Nicolai taps his foor
<Nicolai> foot*
* Dias drops down from the Exodus and walks over to a table, grabbing his datapad, he turns and walks back infront of his gear
* Project-Diamond blinks a few times and scratches his head.
* Dias begins typing on his datapad, it's hard to tell from Diamons point of view what he's doing with it
<Nicolai> Damn I'm bored
<Snipe> NRP: Back
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
* Katrina` suddenly runs in, still dressed in her night-time clothes and grabs Snipe, almost knocking him off his feet
<Katrina`> THEY'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!
<Snipe> Look, how about this for a game. We can----*blinks*
* Alicia is now known as Terra`
<Snipe> Go completely insane?
<Strife`> *blinks* Um, hi sis?
<Nicolai> Uhhhhh
<Nicolai> Is there something we can help you with Kat?
* Katrina` breathes heavy, not looking quite sane right now herself. She shakes Snipe again, almost throwing him back once more.
<Katrina`> I keep..seeing it..
<Nicolai> Seeing what?
* Snipe grabs a console nearby, looking around for some help, then at Kat.
<Nicolai> Take some deep breaths, then explain what your talking about
<Terra`> NRP: What's going on?
<Project-Diamond> NRP: dont forget to call collect
<Katrina`> In my dreams..I keep seeing...them die...
<Nicolai> Who?
<Katrina`> Everyone. Everyone at the Alliance. *she falls to her knees, still holding onto Snipe's trenchcoat* All of them...
* Strife` gets up and rests a firm hand on Kat's shoulder, "Hey... Try to calm down a bit there Kat."
<Snipe> Look, Kat, it's just a dream...
<Kio> 14"Or it could be foresight..and we are all fucked"
* Dias continues typing on his datapad, seeming like he's tuned Diamond out
* Snipe doesn't look like he believes it's just a dream, either.
<Nicolai> Kio, thats not gonna help the situation
* Katrina` lets Snipe go finally, placing her hands on her head, closing her eyes
* Project-Diamond pokes Dias.
* Terra` wanders over (if it's feasible/realistic)
<Kio> 14"I'm just saying..bad shit always happen after something dreams about it.."
* Dias turns his head slowly to Diamond
<Dias> What?!
<Project-Diamond> Ah!
<Katrina`> Every night I keep seeing these visions of dead people, then just now...I saw the entire Alliance command get destroyed...
* Project-Diamond backs away.
<Nicolai> Thats a biggie, almost too big not to believe
<Project-Diamond> S-sorry, but where is my sent item at?
<Snipe> ...
<Kio> 14"We just got done fighting spawn from hell, thats hard to believe?"
<Dias> ...Are you flipping retarded?! THERE IS NOTHING!
<Strife`> It could just be nightmares, but... *looks at Kat*
* Dias looks like he's about to punch Diamond
<Nicolai> You don't have nightmares like that
<Snipe> Kat, shhhhh, calm down. *pats her on her head, looking at Strife* I think Kat could use something to help her relax.
<Project-Diamond> Oh, uhh..
<Strife`> Coff-No, Ariel probally traumitised her with stories of that... Cocoa then.
* Project-Diamond backs away and smiles, "Well, gotta go then!"
* Project-Diamond sprints off.
* Strife` darts off to get Kat something to drink.
* Terra` passes Strife on the way there
* Snipe moves over and begins to go through the channels to contact the Alliance Command Station.
* Kio has observed and seen enough odd shit around here to think twice about shrugging it off. He gets up, walking over the command station
<Project-Diamond> ooc: he meant chloroform
<Terra`> What's going on?
<Strife`> Can'ttalk,onamission! *ZOOM*
* Nicolai offers Kat a place to sit
* Katrina` sits down, shaking. She shakes her head
<Katrina`> You have to believe me...horrible...
<Snipe> GM: *Dias can sense something watching him*
* Project-Diamond strides into the command room and smiles. "Heeello everyone!"
* Terra` wanders over to Snipe and Katrina, blinking
* Dias blinks then looks around
<Nicolai> Snipe is contacting alliance command now
<Project-Diamond> What's going on?
* Snipe looks around, waiting for a reply.
<Snipe> Just checking something.
<Dias> ...*finishes looking around the room, his hand moving upto his head, scratching it*
* Strife` returns to the bridge in record time, and offers Katrina the hotchocolate.
<Terra`> What's going on, anyway?
* Katrina` takes it into her head, nodding thanks to Strife.
<Terra`> ... the mission.. get chocolate.
<Project-Diamond> ...
<Nicolai> Yes, Kat wanted hot chocolate very badly. So strife went to get her some, but we had to tell him it was his mission
<Terra`> NRP: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate the cafeteria and get some chocolate for Katrina
<Nicolai> So he would speed up
<Snipe> <Voice to Dias> Return to your friends above.
* Kio turns around, noticing the influx of annoyances coming in. He bahs
<Dias> ...*looks around, trying to pinpoint the voice*
* Nicolai chuckles a bit a Kio
* Strife` sticks his tongue out at Nico
<Dias> ...Who's there?
<Project-Diamond> Uhh..
<Snipe> Still no reply...
<Nicolai> Thats not good..
* Project-Diamond sits down, scratching his head.
<Project-Diamond> What's hot chocolate?
<Terra`> Who are you contacting?
<Dias> ....Must've been Snipe on the intercomm...*turns and runs to the elevator*
<Snipe> There should be someone there on call. This is bad.
<Kio> 14"No shit sherlock..maybe we should like..take a shuttle and leave?"
<Nicolai> What are we gonna do?
<Snipe> Oh shit shit shit.
<Terra`> You think that's safe?
<Project-Diamond> Wait, Mr. Snipe, what's going on?
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly alarms begin to go off as something drops out of hyperspace. Before anyone can react, a blast hits the hanger, blowing a chunk of it up*
<Project-Diamond> ?!?!?!
<Nicolai> FUCK
<Terra`> We're.. under attack.
<Project-Diamond> What in the lords name!?
* Dias is tossed around inside the elevator
<Nicolai> How in the hell did this happen?
* Snipe grabs his console as the station shakes.
<Snipe> GM: *alarms begin to go off*
* Nicolai steadies himself by grabbing kats chair
<Snipe> No....
* Project-Diamond stands up, his eyes flare from the beautiful crystalline blue to red. "We have to do something."
* Katrina` drops her hot chocolate.
* Kio snaps around, looking at the point of impact 14"This is GREAT!
<Project-Diamond> NOOO!!
* Dias runs over to the console inside the elevator and tries to see if it's still operational
<Project-Diamond> That looked.. really good.
<Terra`> Fight or run?
<Snipe> GM: *another blast hits the station, blowing up the training area*
* Snipe brings up the outside cameras, showing one Motenk vessel outside.
<Project-Diamond> To battle!
* Gar-gone is now known as Garland
* Strife` darts to security station to check on the condition of the situation
<Nicolai> Holy fuck
<Terra`> NRP: Kio is *SO* lucky he's not training right now... like usual
<Project-Diamond> Who can't survive in space here?
<Nicolai> What in the hell are we gonna do?
<Terra`> Uhh... last I heard, I can't.
<Snipe> This station can't handle too many more direct hits like that.
* Dias looks over at the door as it opens up to teh command center, he quickly steps out
<Dias> What's going on?
<Strife`> *trying to keep up with the sectors going offline* Okay, who pissed in their coffee?!
<Snipe> GM: *the station rocks again as the engine area is hit.*
<Project-Diamond> Not good!
<Nicolai> We're under attack
<Project-Diamond> Crud!
<Dias> Where are they hitting?
<Terra`> Hey, Strife, maybe we should do something about it?
<Nicolai> Do we have any of that explosive chemical shit
<Snipe> GM: *the station begins to fall out of orbit toward the nearby moon*
<Project-Diamond> Eee!
<Nicolai> Oi
<Snipe> The hanger, more than likely.
* Project-Diamond runs in circles.
* Kio watches as the station keeps getting rocked 14"Bah..maybe now would be the best time to hit the hanger!"
<Snipe> But most of the hanger is gone.
<Terra`> Are any of the hangars still up?
<Project-Diamond> How's hangar 6!?
<Dias> ...But I was just in there...*looks backwards, very confused*
* Snipe runs a scan on the hangers.
<Nicolai> Do we have any way of getting off this floating deathtrap alive?
<Snipe> There's still one small hanger operational.
<Strife`> You got out at just the right second then, because they're GONE.
<Snipe> Only a few shuttles in it.
<Terra`> Lets go.
<Dias> We obviously need to get to it...
<Project-Diamond> My shuttle.. It's goooone!?
* Katrina` stands up, looking around as if afraid.
<Nicolai> Whats the quickest route?
* Terra` starts towards the remaining hangar
* Terra` pauses
<Terra`> ... thanks Nicolai
<Snipe> GM: *another blast hits the station, blowing out the lights. The emergency lights come on*
<Snipe> The stairs.
* Snipe grabs the stairway door, then begins to run down them.
* Terra` starts down the stairs
* Project-Diamond follows Snipe.
* Dias waits for everyone to go
<Nicolai> Go ahead Kat, I'll bring up the rear
* Kio follows snipe into the stairway 14"See what happens when you don't listen to psychos!?
<Dias> Let's move people...
* Katrina` looks around, dazed, then hurries after Snipe.
<Strife`> ...those bastards are having FUN with this. *takes Kat by the arm* Come on Sis, no time to be caught dead.
<Snipe> GM: *the station begins to heat up as it gets closer to the moon*
* Nicolai runs intot he stairwell
* Terra` darts down the stairwell with The Jar
* Dias runs down the stairs after Terra
* Colephantus has joined #taw
<Snipe> Hurry - this station is about to be destroyed.
* Snipe grabs a railing and flings himself over it, landing further down the stairs.
* Katrina` nods to Strife, letting him help her.
* Terra` follows Snipe, deciding it a good idea
* Project-Diamond turns on his boosters and blasts forward.
* Dias yells at Nicolai. 1"MOVE FASTER!
<Project-Diamond> Hurry everyone!
* Kio looks at snipe leaping over the railing. He decides to the do the same, and drops in behind him.
* Nicolai also jumps down over the rail
* Nicolai does the samething to get to the hangar level more quickly
* Dias grabs onto the handrail and swings himself over it he drops down it
<Snipe> GM: *another hit causes the stairway to shake, then collapse in front of them*
* Strife` picks Kat up and shifts to a four legged form as he hops down after Snipe.
<Project-Diamond> Oh crud!
* Phirax has joined #taw
<Terra`> ... that's a nice trick..
<Nicolai> Shit, how many stories to the hangar?
<Dias> *lands on the stairs, then taps his comm checking if it works*
* Kio stops as the stairway collapses in front of them. 14"Shit.."
* Phirax is sitting in his room staring at the ceiling.
<Snipe> We're two above it.
<Snipe> GM: *the comm works*
* Colephantus is standing in a random hallway.
<Nicolai> If one of us jumps and gets the door open, the rest can follow
<Project-Diamond> I can do it.
<Terra`> I can, too
* Kio pulls out a rope and throws it over the railing. 14"Hold this.."
<Dias> Comm: Cole, Phirax, and Jr where are you curretnly?
* Project-Diamond activates his boosters. "Shouldn't be hard at all."
<Nicolai> Diamond has jet boosters, let him do it
<Terra`> ... sure.
<Colephantus> Comm:I'm in hallway 3b.
<Project-Diamond> Where am I going?
<Phirax> Comm: I am currently in my room.
* Snipe grabs the rope.
<Kio> 14"..i guess that comes in handy at times"
<Nicolai> Two stories down
* Snipe flips himself over the railing and slides down.
* Project-Diamond boosts two stories down, llooking for a door of some sort.
<Snipe> GM: *the door is buried behind debris*
<Garland> NRP: <Junior> I'm drinking a martini.
<Dias> Comm: I advise you two hurry your asses to Floor 15 and to the Emergency Hanger.
<Snipe> GM: *the attacks seem to have stopped, though the station is still falling out of orbit*
* Strife` hops down after Snipe, concentrating on not splating like he normally would
* Katrina` follows Strife down
* Nicolai follows the rest of the group down
* Kio climbs the rope down
<Snipe> What the hell stopped them--?
<Garland> Comm: I'm on the cruiser, preparing for retaliation against the ship.
<Dias> NRP: There was a cruiser outside the station?
* Colephantus begins to job to the elevator.
* Garland is now known as Junior
* Project-Diamond fires a large diamond spike trying to impale the debris and break through the door.
<Snipe> GM: *the door busts open*
* Snipe swings the rope and leaps into the open doorway, sliding into the hanger.
<Terra`> Diamond, you got the door open yet?!
<Dias> Comm: Well keep 'em busy while we try to get out.
* Phirax stands and grabs his rifle, holsters his pistol and then rushes out of his room and into the elevator, stopping to pick up cole on his way.
<Project-Diamond> YEAH!
<Kio> 14"Frankly..i don't give a fuck!" 2He swings himself after snipe, letting go and rolling into the doorway.
* Terra` jumps into the open doorway seeing this, not even needing the rope
* Dias hops over and grabs onto the rope and slides down
<Project-Diamond> COME ON DOWN!
* Nicolai launches himself into the door
* Katrina` swings in next.
* Project-Diamond runs into the door, looking around.
* Snipe spots the two shuttles left and one gear.
<Strife`> You think they figure we're already doomed? *heads through the door*
* Dias swings himself over and lands through the doorway
<Kio> 14"Who cares.." 2Runs into the hanger..spotting the gear and shuttles
<Project-Diamond> Who's taking what!?
* Colephantus rushes out of the elevator with Phirax behind him. "Whats going on?"
<Terra`> Will that be enough for everyone?
<Terra`> Shuttle for me.
* Snipe moves for one of the shuttles, climbing in.
* Terra` heads for the shuttles
* Dias looks over at the gear and the two shuttles
* Katrina` hurries into Snipe's shuttle.
* Project-Diamond looks at Dias, "You want the gear?"
<Nicolai> I'm definitely a shittle person
* Strife` heads after Snipe and Katrina
<Nicolai> NRP: Shuttle*
* Terra` gets into Snipe's shuttle
<Dias> I've got the best chance in it...
* Nicolai gets into the other shuttle, figuring the other one must be getting pretty full
<Terra`> Need a pilot?
* Snipe sits down in the pilot's seat, fipping things on.
<Snipe> I got it.
* Kio just follows after the group, taking a seat once inside.
<Project-Diamond> My body could fuse with it. Your call.
<Dias> *runs over to the gear and hops up, opening the hatch with one hand
* Project-Diamond runs into snipe's shuttle.
<Colephantus> Hey Snipe should I fly the other shuttle?
<Snipe> NRP: And so Nicolai gets in his shuttle all by himself.
<Terra`> You or Nicolai
* Dias pulls himself in and closes the hatch behind him, he quickly buckles himself in and begins to flip switches
* Phirax gets into the shuttle that Snipe is in.
<Snipe> GM: *the station begins to break apart now*
<Colephantus> Come'on Nicolai, in this shuttle!
* Snipe finishes bringing it online, then lifts the shuttle he's in up into the air. He flies out the hanger.
<Nicolai> I'm in here already
* Colephantus hops into Snipe's shuttle and takes the co-pilots seat.
<Terra`> ... no-one trusts my piloting skills, do they?
* Dias boots up all the sub-systems and the gear comes to life
<Snipe> GM: *Cole leaps for Snipe's shuttle, but is too slow*
* Nicolai starts flicking switches and pushing buttons, trying to bring the shuttle to life
<Colephantus> .....
* Dias is now known as MGear`
<Terra`> Comm: Cole, there's another shuttle
* Snipe flies out into space as the Alliance cruiser and Motenk ship keep each other busy.
* Colephantus gets into the shuttle Nicolai is in. "Let my fly this."
<Snipe> Comm: Junior - we have reason to believe that the Alliance Command Station is being attacked.
* Terra` blinks at this
* MGear` runs forward towards the exit, it's boosters kick on and the gear bursts into space
<Nicolai> Good idea
* Nicolai sits in the co pilots seat watching Cole
<Project-Diamond> Huh..
<Junior> Comm: That's no good...
<Project-Diamond> It's cramped in here.
* Colephantus slides into postition and wires emerge from his armor, plugging into various ports. The shuttle lifts off and flies out into space.
<Snipe> GM: *the Motenk ship vanishes as it pulls out*
<Snipe> GM: *the station crashes into the moon, destroyed*
* Kio2 has joined #taw
<Nicolai> Oh of course, you get the easy way
<MGear`> Comm: Where are we going....*picks up the Motenk ship leaving* ...
* Kio has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Kio2)))
<Snipe> Comm: I guess the Alliance Command Station - and pray it isn't too late.
* Phirax sighs, looking at the space station crashing.
<Colephantus> Comm: Lead the way.
* Kio2 is now known as Kio
<Project-Diamond> Is that on Earth?
<Strife`> *sniffs* There goes my collection of... um... er...
* Snipe enters the coordinates, then pulls the lever. They leap into hyperspace.
<Katrina`> ...collection of what, Strife? *she asks quietly*
<Project-Diamond> There goes my shuttle..
* MGear` flips switches powering up the hyperdrive engine, he enters teh coordinates and pulls the lever
* Terra` smirks at Strife, then realises something
<Terra`> Wait, you're not human, so... umm...
<Terra`> Yeah, collection of what?!
* Colephantus glances down as the coordinates ring in and also blasts into hyperspace.
<Kio> 14"Is this really the time?"
* Strife` stares up at the roof, refusing to say
<Junior> Comm: I'll meet you at the alliance station.
<Nicolai> We're fucked
<MGear`> NRP: Jr: I just need to stop at the po...err...I'll be right behnid you.
<Terra`> I guess you're more human than I thought..
* Snipe pulls off his glasses, rubbing his eyes
<Snipe> Christ Almighty.
* Katrina` looks tired, leaning against the shuttle wall
<Terra`> Quite the attack...
* Snipe jerks as the alarms go off.
<Nicolai> Oh man, that was the most fucked thing I've ever seen
<Snipe> GM: *the Motenk ship appears before them in hyperspace*
<Colephantus> Oh shit.....
<Project-Diamond> We're... how you say... boned.
* Kio glances forward 14"Oh thats great..!"
<Terra`> ... bloody fuck...
<Snipe> Damn!
* Strife` sighs.
* Snipe grabs the controls, jerking down as the Motenk ship fires on the shuttles.
<MGear`> Shit...*quickly spins away from the others
<Nicolai> Okay, so now we're more fucked then we were before
* Colephantus strains, pulling the shuip up.
<Nicolai> Is there anything I can do to help?
* MGear` jerks upwards right before it hits the hyperspace wall
* Snipe comes close to the hyperspace wall made by their ships.
<Snipe> Damn!
<Colephantus> We can hope we don't die.
<Snipe> GM: *the Motenk Ship spins, trying to keep up with them as they fly by*
<Project-Diamond> Are there guns on this ship, Snipe?
<Snipe> Our weapons are useless in hyperspace!
<Terra`> I'm guessing this shuttle didn't get chemicals..
<Colephantus> I really wish we could fire in hyperspace....
<Kio> 14"If only we had some chemicals"
<Project-Diamond> Oh right right.
<Snipe> GM: *the Motenk Ship keeps firing at them*
* Terra` looks over at Kio with a hint of surprise and approval
* MGear` pulls upright a shot ringing below it
<Strife`> ...well, THIS is sucking.
<Snipe> Man, I can't fly very good.
<Project-Diamond> Crap. Crap.
<MGear`> Stupid slow...gear...*jrks to the side, a shot grazing against it's leg*
<Terra`> Maybe I should take over?
* Snipe grimaces as his shuttle is hit in the wing. The wing flies away.
* Colephantus 's eye twitches as his shuttle drops down almost skimming the hyperspace wall.
<MGear`> NRP: You're all copycat skimmers!
<Snipe> I'm just...winging it now!
* Colephantus glances at Snipe's ship. "This isn't good.
<Colephantus> NRP: Moo?
<Snipe> GM: *the Motenk Ship vanishes from hyperspace*
* MGear` spins upwards between the two shuttles a riddle of blasts following behind it
<Kio> 14"..great..i picked the wrong shuttle to jump on"
<Phirax> .....
* MGear` stops his ascent
<Colephantus> Do you see it anywhere?
<MGear`> ....
* Colephantus pulls back up to the middle.
* Project-Diamond stops praying.
* Arc` has joined #taw
* Arc` flies at them, only now the gear is completely armored like a Motenk ship.
* Arc` is now known as Ark`
* Kio glances at terra 14"And what the hell is that look for, you act as if its a surprise i say something intellegent.." 2A shake of his head is given, deciding it better to shrug it off
* MGear` spins backwards looking at it
<Snipe> A gear!?
<Project-Diamond> Who's that?
<MGear`> ...Those son's of a bitches...That's my gear!
<Terra`> Nah, it's just a surprise you said the same thing as me.
<Colephantus> Who the.....hey thats Dias'!
* Katrina` watches the gear.
<Ark`> <Comm> Slaughtering you all is going to be fun.
<Project-Diamond> Uhh..
<Terra`> ... can't we get ONE BLOODY BREAK!?
* Ark` flies right for Snipe's shuttle, bringing out a purple sword.
<MGear`> Comm: THAT'S MY GEAR!
<Strife`> I dislike this guy already...
* MGear` spins downwards, trying to collide with the gear and push it away from Snipe's shuttle
<Snipe> Hang on,.
<Strife`> Snipe! You better not get us killed!
* Ark` slams into MGear.
<Ark`> <Comm> Ha ha ha ha.
<Project-Diamond> Uh.. Crap!
* Terra` hangs on, staying close to the pilot's seat
<Strife`> But no pressure dude.
<Colephantus> ....
<Snipe> Riiiiiight.
* Ark` slashes at Dias' gear
* MGear` bounces away from it and pulls up and away to get out of it's range
<Ark`> <Comm> I'm one with this gear. Your movements are too slow.
* MGear` sparks appear across it's chest
* Colephantus glances around, "You see anything sharp on this shuttle? That I could impale it with?"
<Nicolai> Shit
<MGear`> Comm: You've got me at a disadvantage this time...
* Kio suddenly an idea pops over his head. 14"Hey..doesn't diamond have that ability too.."
<Snipe> We're almost to our jump point.
<Project-Diamond> Open the top of the shuttle Snipe.
<Nicolai> I don't see anything
<MGear`> NRP: And suck everyone out?!
<Snipe> If we do, Diamond, we'll bek illed!
<Snipe> Hyperspace isn't like normal space.
<Terra`> Diamond, that was the stupidest thing I ever heard.
* Ark` flies at MGear, moving faster than Dias ever did with Ark.
<Project-Diamond> Huh..?
<Strife`> Someone failed their physics class
* Snipe looks at Diamond, then Kio
* MGear` struggles to spin away from the Ark
<Snipe> You saying he can do the same thing as the MOtenks?
<Terra`> Wha?
<Ark`> <Comm> Yes. Yeeeees. Fight me. I'll slaughter you.
<Kio> 14"Yes..he is motenk technology..is that person in ark his counter part?"
* Colephantus grits his teeth. and flies the shuttle for Ark's backside.
* Snipe eyes the Ark
<Project-Diamond> ...
<Snipe> His counterpart?
<Project-Diamond> Who is that?
<Kio> 14"I should say..another model"
* Katrina` turns around to face Cole.
<Katrina`> What is he doing?!
* Ark` grabs MGear and flies towards the wall.
<Ark`> <Comm> Tear you to pieces.
<Colephantus> Damnit if only I could fire 1 shot.
* Project-Diamond narrows his eyes and twitches them.
<MGear`> GAHH!!....*hits it's side boosters and tries to spin the Ark towards the wall*
* Ark` throws MGear away, then turns to look at the incoming shuttle. He aims his right arm at it and fires a purple beam.
<Phirax> ....I feel worthless.
<Snipe> Hang on.
* MGear` slowly reorientates itself
<Project-Diamond> ...!
* Colephantus 's eye twitches once more and spins the shuttle to the best of his ability to dodge the attack.
<MGear`> Comm: So what's the name of the person I'll be hunting down to get my gear back?
* Ark` flies at Cole's shuttle and grabs it.
<Colephantus> ...Shit.
<Nicolai> Uh oh
* MGear` hit's it's boosters and tries to ram into the side of the Ark
<Nicolai> What if we drop from hyperspace now
* Ark` rears back and slashes into it, carving out a crescent shape on it's hull.
<Nicolai> wouldn't that bring it with us
* Project-Diamond feels a surge of energy draw from his body. "LET ME OUT OF THIS SHIP!"
<Colephantus> Its worth a shot, *disengages hyperspace*
<Snipe> Uh, I think that Diamond guy has gone insane.
* Ark` is yanked out of hyperspace with them
<Strife`> *inches away* Looks it...
* Katrina` stares at Diamond
<MGear`> Comm: They've dropped out of hyperspace Snipe...
<Kio> 14"I'm guessing he feels another model in that ark.."
<Snipe> Comm: A good call
<Project-Diamond> ...Grah...!
* Ark` flies away from Cole
<Terra`> Seems it
<Snipe> We're just a few minutes from our destination.
* Colephantus attempts to discover the total damage.
<Ark`> GM: *the shuttle is in critical condition*
<Nicolai> I hope that gives them enough time to get there
* Ark` slashes down at the shuttle, aiming to cleave it in half.
<Nicolai> What are we gonna do now?
<Project-Diamond> ...
<Colephantus> ......
<Colephantus> *slams on the boosters*
* Project-Diamond punches at the wall.
* Ark` misses the shuttle
<Colephantus> Hold your breath.
<Snipe> GM: *The wall dents*
* Ark` spins around and zooms in front of the shuttle
<Junior> NRP: <Wall> Ow!
<Kio> 14"Hey stop that you idiot!"
<Colephantus> *punches it into hyperspace*
<Snipe> H-hey, no hitting the wall!
<Strife`> What are you trying to do, you maniac?!
<Colephantus> NRP: If its able.
<Ark`> <Comm> ... *laughs*
* Project-Diamond looks around at them, his eyes are blood red, glowing.
* Ark` watches them leave.
* Ark` has left #taw
<Snipe> Someone destroy that thing before he destroys us!
<Nicolai> That was too close for comfort cole
* Project-Diamond falls to the ground.
* Colephantus glances about at all the trouble, trying to keep everything under control.
<Colephantus> I know.
<Strife`> ...I think he might have just been all show. *prods Diamond with a foot*
* Project-Diamond looks up, his eyes back to a beautiful crystalline blue. He smiles and looks around. "Helllo!"
<Snipe> ....split personalities. Welcome to DS 2.0
<Terra`> ... yeah...
<Terra`> Oh my god... DS was like that too?
* Kio gets ready to soccer kick him and stops 14"You know..i don't like you.."
<Nicolai> Is there anything I can do to help?
* Katrina` avoids Diamond now.
<Terra`> Hey, was there anyone like Kio in the original team?
<Project-Diamond> That's alright! You don't have to like me.
<Junior> NRP: DS 2.0, now with twice as many methods of spam delivery, making it the biggest cash cow yet!
<Project-Diamond> What happened?
<Snipe> Wiendigo
<Colephantus> Yes. Go see if you can fix any minor damages in the ship.
<Terra`> Oh, don't worry about... it...
* Project-Diamond looks around. "I don't remember anything from a few minutes ago."
<Terra`> There was...? Damn...
<Snipe> We're here.
<Phirax> I can shoot him now if you like?
* Kio glances at terra 14"Whats with your sudden interest in me?"
<Snipe> GM: *pulls the lever, exiting hyperspace*
* Strife` moves over next to Kat, eyeing Diamond warily.
* MGear` drops low behind Snipe's shuttle, it drops out of hyperspace behind Snipe's shuttle
* Terra` stays quiet
<Snipe> Narrator: When we came out of hyperspace, my heart skipped a beat. Or two. The sight before us was horrible - the Alliance Command Station had been utterly destroye with just a ruined hull. Alliance ship pieces were floating around, as well as Motenk ship pieces.
<Project-Diamond> Oh.. my.. god..
* Colephantus glances down at his hyperspace clock. Seems they are a ways away from the destination still.
<Snipe> NRP: And was just a ruined chunk of hull
* Katrina` gasps, holding a hand to her mouth
<Phirax> ....Good...Lor.
<Phirax> D.
<MGear`> ...*slows to a stop next to Snipe*
<Nicolai> NRP: Who's narrating this time?
<MGear`> Comm: Do you think the Alliance Members got safely?
<Snipe> NRP: Same person is narrating all of TAW.
<Terra`> NRP: I had a horrible thought.. the new TAW team... with Diamond as the new DS, Kio as the new Wiendigo, and Terra as the new... umm... Dias?! *dies*
<Nicolai> NRP: what about me!?!?!
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly, 25 Motenk Ships appear in the darkness of space*
<Strife`> NRP: <Strife> My god! A ruined hull did all this?! <Motenk> We must put aside our differences, and band together to fight a new foe!
<Junior> NRP: LightningStrike.
<MGear`> Comm: Guys...We leave now...
<Kio> 14"Oh..thats fantastic.."
<Junior> Comm: You're late...
<MGear`> Comm: We ran into some problems...
<Snipe> Comm: I think we have more problems.
<Junior> Comm: We're not done yet.
<Terra`> Comm: If we weren't late, we'd be late.. as in the late Alliance team!
<Snipe> GM: *several gears float in space, useable*
* Colephantus finally drops out of space and notices the scene before him.
<Colephantus> Dear god....
<Project-Diamond> Open up the ship.
<Project-Diamond> Please.
<Snipe> We're in space, dumbass. We can't!
<Terra`> We can't survive in space!
<Terra`> NRP: *knows what Terra's NEXT power is going to be*
<Snipe> GM: *the 25 ships begin to unleash hundreds of tiny cone fighters*
<Project-Diamond> NRP: theres no way out?
<Colephantus> This shuttle wont hold out much longer...can you pilot a gear?
<Kio> 14
<Kio> 14"We better think fast.."
<Snipe> There's several gears.
<Snipe> We could use them to do battle.
<MGear`> Comm: Guys....
<Project-Diamond> I can pilot one!
<Strife`> NRP: It's not like the shuttle is big enough to have an airlock
<Nicolai> I can't
<Project-Diamond> I'm very good at it!
<Nicolai> I never have
<Snipe> GM: *The rebuilt Aquarius is still in one piece, too*
<Nicolai> NRP: Brb
* Kio glances at the new aquarius 14"Maybe you can run into that?"
<Colephantus> ....Hmmmm. *spots the Aquarius*
<Colephantus> Comm: Whats the gameplan snipe!?
<Strife`> Hey! The old baby is back!
<Project-Diamond> ...
<Snipe> Oh shit, the Aquarius? Slasher's been tinkering with that.
<Snipe> But...we have no choice.
<Snipe> Hang on.
* Snipe spins the shuttle around and boosts that way.
<Terra`> What's wrong with it?
* Colephantus follows in behind Snipe.
<Strife`> Anything Slasher touches normally blows up real good.
* MGear` spins the gear after Snipe and boosts behind him
<MGear`> NRP: Slasher: I can't help it I'm colorblind!!!
<Terra`> ... oh great.
<Colephantus> I sure my hope my ship is still in one piece...that lockdown program I installed should have kept anyone from using it.
<Snipe> GM: *The cone fighters begin to open fire on Junior's cruiser*
<Snipe> GM: *the cone ships split in half - 12 going toward Junior, the others headnig for the AQuarius*
<Junior> Comm: IT, we have to defend what's left of the station. I'm going to enact the emergency procedures--engage according to defensive parameters in the mean time.
* Snipe flies into the Aquarius' hanger, which has been stocked with first-class Gears.
* Katrina` looks around at the hanger, totally rebuilt.
* Strife` looks like a kid in a candy store.
* MGear` slides into the hanger
<Terra`> ... I wish there was some kind of fighter...
* Colephantus silently lands the shuttle and disengages from it.
* Nicolai enters into the hangar as well
<Snipe> There should be on the hanger below us.
* MGear` the hatch blows open and hits the ground, out pops Dias
* Snipe powers down the shuttle.
<Terra`> Great!
* MGear` is now known as Dias
* Colephantus gets out of the shuttle and looks around.
<Project-Diamond> Are these the best gears?
<Colephantus> Wheres my ship!?
<Snipe> The best, it seems.
* Snipe pats Cole
<Snipe> Destroyed.
* Phirax slides off of Snipe's Shuttle.
<Terra`> See you guys soon, then!
* Kio drops out of the shuttle finally. He immediatly heads up to the command floor..not rather worried about gears or fgighters right now
<Colephantus> ....Your....joking?
* Terra` starts off for the lower hangar
* Katrina` follows Kio.
<Snipe> Nope.
* Project-Diamond gets out of the shuttle. "I'll deal with it." He hops into a gear and then looks around.
<Colephantus> WHAt the fucking hell.....Damnit. *follows behind Terra*
* Snipe stands there, looking out at the incoming ships.
<Phirax> What if we don't know how to pilot those things?
<Strife`> I hope they haven't been keycoded yet... *heads for the most impressive looking gear... even if they look the same*
<Snipe> Well, lets do it.
* Dias turns to the 1st Class gears scanning them
<Snipe> Head to the bridge then
<Terra`> I guess you're a fighter pilot too, Cole?
* Katrina` moves onto the empty bridge. She begins to power up the Aquarius
<Phirax> I could try to use the aquarius' cannons?
<Project-Diamond> I thought we were engaging?
<Snipe> Go for it.
* Snipe waves Phirax on
* Kio stops at the bridge and follows behind katrina, taking control of the weapon systems.
* Nicolai also moves to the command deck, figuring maybe he'd be useful there
* Junior is dropped off at the Alliance station by his ship quickly, running through it's hallways.
* Phirax rushes off for the bridge, he glances around looking for the weapon systems but then notices Kio is already at the,.
<Dias> NRP: I uhh...Thought the only thing left was it's a piece of it's hull?
<Phirax> Well. I guess i'm useless for today.
<Snipe> GM: *the entire Alliance Command Station - or what's left of it - is empty of life*
<Strife`> *glances at Dias as he goes to powerup a gear* So, you're my wingman?
<Katrina`> Well, we need someone to be Captain
* Katrina` sits down at the science station.
* Colephantus enters the other hangar and looks around at the fighters.
<Dias> ...*looks at Strife* I guess?
<Terra`> NRP: Oh no, Strife is going to die!
* Kio shakes his head, looking through the weapon data..seeing what it has
* Phirax slides into the captains chair.
<Phirax> I'll try my best.
<Nicolai> What can I do?
* Dias quickly runs over to the nearest 1st Class Gear and hops into it, closing the hatch behind it, he quickly boots up the systems, the gear coming to life
* Terra` takes the most impressive looking fighter she can see
* Project-Diamond synchronizes with the gear. His body fuses completely with the gear, making him dissapear from plain sight. It's as if he became the gear itself.
<Katrina`> GM: *the ship has lasers, missiles, a motenk engine that's offline, several bombs, and a few systems marked ?*
* Snipe flips himself into a gear, powering it up.
<Katrina`> ALright. I brought up the Earth style engines. We can go at your command.

<Class1-Gear> Comm: *voice is substantially deeper* Give the launch command when ready.
<Katrina`> GM: *engines - shields*
<snipe-Gear> Comm: Yes?
* snipe-Gear flies out of the Aquarius.
* Dias-Gear steps up and launches out into space behind Snipe's gear
<snipe-Gear> GM: *Gears have beam sabre and rifle. The shuttles have lasers and missiles*
<Nicolai> But, isn't there something I can do?
<snipe-Gear> GM: *shuttles = fighters*
* Kio activates the shields?
<Katrina`> GM: *The shields cover the Aquarius*
* Class1-Gear launches as well.
* Strife-Gear blasts after the other two gears, cursing being so slow to get off the ground
* Colephantus hops into the best looking fighter and jacks into it. Then blasts out into space.
<Junior> Comm: Make certain everyone in a mech checks their left-side weapons storage. There are special laser-based pistols that should be... effective.
<snipe-Gear> GM: *the cone fighters immediately engage the gears and fighers*
* Terra-Fighter launches #]
* Colephantus is now known as Cole-Fighter
<Terra-Fighter> NRP: Ignore the #]
* snipe-Gear grabs one, glancing at it
* Class1-Gear checks to make sure that his performance is max.
<snipe-Gear> Comm: What does it do?
<Strife-Gear> NRP: Awww... you're not happy about launching?
<Katrina`> GM: *The Aquarius must be piloted by someone - no one is in the pilot seat*
* Dias-Gear breaks away from Snipe's gear and pulls out the laser-based pistol and begins firing at the nearest Cone ship*
<Phirax> Any of you know how to pilot?
<snipe-Gear> GM: *A white beam flies from the pistol and hits the cone ship*
<Nicolai> I don't, I've never piloted anything in my life
<Katrina`> I can't.
<Phirax> Kio?
<snipe-Gear> GM: *The cone ships begin to fire on the Aquarius - the Tsivrixsh shields are holding so far*
* Terra-Fighter fires a laser at the cone ship, seeing this
* Class1-Gear locks onto a few ships, drawing the laser-based pistol, firing three blasts, one by one on a different cone ship.
* Kio glances at the laser cannons, before deciding the bring them online
<snipe-Gear> GM: *the cone FIGHTERS begin to fire at Terra and Dias*
<Kio> 14"I'm at the weapons seat"
<Terra-Fighter> Comm: Same trick as with the big ships?
* Junior ejects from the station in a white mech, armed with two laser rifles and two shoulder auto-laser cannons.
<Kio> 14"You get in it"
* Terra-Fighter rolls away from the shots
* Dias-Gear quickly breaks upwards firing downwards at the cone-ship shooting at him
<Dias-Gear> NRP: Fighters....
<Phirax> I can't....*sighs and slides into the Pilots seat*
<snipe-Gear> GM: *the fighters blow up in one hit from the white lasers*
* Strife-Gear breaks off, overdoing it and ending up tumbling as he fires his pistol at the coneships going for the fighters
* Cole-Fighter locks onto the closest fighter and begins to fire at it.
<Dias-Gear> Comm: Jr., what are these things packing that's so effective?
<Nicolai> I can try to pilot...
* Class1-Gear continues firing after locking on. He boosts forward, shooting more and more shots with precision.

<snipe-Gear> GM: *three cone ships surround the Aquarius*
* Phirax glances down at the piloting console before him.
<Dias-Gear> Comm: ....
* Terra-Fighter keeps firing on the Coneships, blinking a bit at the effectiveness of the white lasers
<Strife-Gear> Comm: ...so we're shooting them with oversized flashlights?!
* snipe-Gear spins and fires at some fighters, taking them out in one hit each.
* Kio pulls them online 14"White Lasers..well? Worth a shot..are we really engaging that many ships?"
* Dias-Gear corkscrews towards a Cone fighter, fighting at it
* Nicolai just sits to the side, feeling kinda useless
<Katrina`> They're powering up to hit us, Kio - Phirax.
<snipe-Gear> GM: *Nicolai can dance!*
* Class1-Gear fires at the one ships surrounding the aquarius upon seeing them.

<snipe-Gear> GM: *10 fighters stalk Dias*
* Strife-Gear boosts back and forth, looking like he's tumbling around in space... or unintentionally breakdancing. Practically running into a cone, he fires the laser into the roof at one of Terra's persuers
<snipe-Gear> GM: *4 fighters fire at Strife's side*
* Terra-Fighter turns away, trying to lose the fighters
<Kio> NRP: I think phirax went afk
<snipe-Gear> NRP: The Aquarius is doomed!
* Dias-Gear 's boosters kick on and the gear spins around, firing off as many shots as it can at the 10 fightesr stalking it
<Katrina`> GM: *The Aquarius keeps getting hit from lack of movement - shield at 60%*
* Kio notices phirax doing absolutely nothing 14"Nicolai..take the pilot seat!"
* Class1-Gear fires at the aquarius's persuers more and more :|
<Class1-Gear> NRP: hellllooo
* Strife-Gear tumbles back, boosting to the side, firing rapidly at the fighters coming after him, concentrating on staying the hell out of their way.
<snipe-Gear> GM: *the ltitle Class1-Gear is not hurting the big cone ships whatsoeve.r So they ignore him*
<snipe-Gear> GM: *he should fight the fighters, since they're small*
<snipe-Gear> GM: *the fighters try to surround the Terra*

* Colephantus chuckles.
* Katrina` sits in a dark hallway, hugging her knees.
<Dias> NRP: I know, but it' long enough of a time frame for Snipe to reach there so..

* Project-Diamond stands up slowly.
<Project-Diamond> .....

<Nicolai> Damn, I was just gettin the hang of it
* Katrina` rushes into the hanger and hugs Strife.
<Katrina`> STRIFE!
* Terra` half-clings to Strife
* Project-Diamond walks down the hall towards the bridge. He punches with all of his might at a small door, trying to get rid of his anger.
<Colephantus> Stick around and I'll teach you better.
<Dias> I think for starters, Jr. is going to need to get on the Holonews to confirm he's still alive.
<Nicolai> NRP: Nicolai runs into the hangar and hugs Kat*
<Strife`> Oh... Hey Kat. Feeling better? *not about to complain about the attention*
<Katrina`> You'realive!
* Terra` smiles
* Kio closes the calm sighing 14"You know..if i died no one would most likely noticed..haha" 2He shrugs and sits down
<Nicolai> So you'll teach me how to pilot?
* Phirax glances at Kio, "Your not the only one."
<Strife`> Hmm... I guess I am! Still no pulse though.
* Phirax slides over to the side, away from everyone.
<Colephantus> If you want me too.
* Project-Diamond walks onto the bridge. No smile this time around.
<Nicolai> That would be great, cause having to learn these things in these kinds of situation isn't really that fun

* Colephantus glances at Snipe. "So where too?"
* Project-Diamond blinks.
<Project-Diamond> ....
<Nicolai> Was that you beating up the hangar Diamond?
<Strife`> I'm sorry I worried you... Didn't have time to explain the plan. Hell, I didn't have time to eject.
<Snipe> That'll be Junior's call.
<Snipe> For now we should just... try to recover.
* Katrina` keeps holding Strife, crying for joy now.
<Terra`> I'm... just glad you're alive...
<Colephantus> Right.
<Project-Diamond> I.. I did that?
<Snipe> GM: *Sil's jar falls out of Terra's pants*
<Dias> We can't stay here, we should atleast enter hyperspace or something.
<Terra`> NRP: Hey, I left it in the fighter!
* Junior steps into the hanger and sees Strife and Kat.
<Nicolai> Thats what I was asking, was that you?
<Project-Diamond> I don't know.
<Snipe> Point
<Project-Diamond> I can't remember..
<Snipe> Someone, take us into hyperspace.
* Colephantus looks at Nicolai.
<Colephantus> You heard the man.
* Strife` hugs both girls, just trying to comfort them some.
<Junior> Comm: Set a course for the Tsivrixsh homeworld.
<Snipe> Comm: Holy shit, we're going to see the Tsivrixsh?
<Dias> Probably because they've been slacking.
* Nicolai sets the course for the Tsivrixsh homeworld, and kicks it into Hyperspace
<Snipe> Well, this should be interesting...
<Dias> I didn't see any floating Tsiv Battlecruisers.
* Junior looks at the three for a moment before leaving the hanger.
