<Nicolai|TOS> Well I'm stillon the aquarius
<Snipe> Session 226: Lizard Bashing
<Snipe> Time Chart: November 21st, 2223
<Snipe> Location: The Aquarius
<Snipe> Narrator: After we left into space to find a nice prospect for attacking, news began to pour in: The Motenks were attacking the Alliance worlds that had left the Alliance and were vulnerable. It was a massive scale assault that was 100% successful.
<Snipe> Narrator: But then the worst news came in: The Tsivrixshs were using their planet killers to attack any world occupied by Motenks, killing anyone on it - civilians included.
* Snipe stands on the bridge, eyeing the comm station
<Katrina`> I... don't believe it.
* Dias looks to Snipe
* Nicolai|TOS is now known as Nicolai
<Dias> I can't believe Sardis or Jr. would stand for this...
* Ariel stands to the back of the bridge, head hung low, eyes closed. Silent.
<Snipe> GM: *the Tsivrixsh's brutal campaign, itself, has been 100% successful - they've won every battle*
<Dias> But this is too convientent for them, probably their way of getting revenge for being beaten.
<Ariel> <Strife> ...this is insane. Utterly insane!
* Nicolai stands on the bridge as well, staring at whats happening outside
<Kio> 14"..heh"
<Snipe> It's hard to imagine the destruction being caused, but they're winning.
<Katrina`> It's a horrible way to fight.
<Dias> It's wrong...Why do I feel they won't stop with the Lizards either?
<Snipe> Quite frankly, there's no one in the galaxy who could stop them if they don't stop themselves.
<Dias> ...So we gave them the keys to the universe...
* Snipe pushes up his glasses, sighing
<Ariel> <Strife> Those lizards have been pretty resourceful. Maybe... oh wait, we don't want them to win.
<Snipe> Once the Lizards realize they're losing, they're going to hit back even harder.
<Snipe> I imagine they'll take to blowing up planets themselves.
* Dias shakes his head in disgust
<Ariel> <Strife> Is there something with reptile DNA making people crazy?
<Katrina`> So we just blow up the galaxy so there's nothing left?! *she sounds angry*
<Kio> 14"..it works as a last resort i guess"
<Katrina`> Not even joke! *she says to Kio, tension in her voice*
<Katrina`> (Don't)
* Dias eyes Katrina then looks to Kio
* Garland is now known as Gar-gone
<Snipe> Well, I'm still sticking with our mission plan to hit a Motenk ship.
<Kio> 14"I wasn't joking really..but thats most likely what they are thinking"
<Ariel> <Strife> I wonder what they'd do if we threatened to destroy the galaxy...
* Dias fingers twitch
<Dias> Snipe.....
<Snipe> Yeah?
<Dias> My Motenk-sense is tingling...
<Snipe> Right. Kat, get on the sensors. Kio, the weapons. Dias, the pilot controls.
* Katrina` nods, moving over to do a scan-sweep of the area.
* Dias slides over to the pilot controls taking a seat
<Dias> God I hope they aren't cloaked.
<Snipe> Ariel, get me a pizza.
<Dias> Snipe, how do you plan on disarming them so we can board them?
<Snipe> I was going to send out a white dove as a sign of peace.
<Ariel> *snaps out of it* Pizza?
<Snipe> Yeah. Extra cheese.
<Ariel> ...are you serious?
<Dias> Can we send Kio out in a white suit instead?
<Snipe> This is my serious face.
<Katrina`> I'm picking up something in the asteroid belt nearby.
<Dias> Snipe?
<Snipe> Move us towards it, but do it sneakily.
<Ariel> ...why do you need a pizza at a time like this?
<Snipe> I can't command without food in my stomach!
* Kio heads onto the weapons station
* Dias begins to lower the energy output
<Ariel> You're getting lazy.
* Dias pilots the ship towards the asteroid belt
<Katrina`> I definitely have something. I'll bring it up on screen. *an image appears on the viewscreen of a Motenk Cone Ship in the middle of the asteroid belt, somehow repelling the asteroids around it, so as not to take damage - the asteroid belt is too dense for a ship that size to enter it without damage, normally, so it must be some other new trick. It seems the ship is also damaged from some recent combat and is making repairs*
<Dias> How'd it get in there?
* Dias tries to keep the Aquarius in line with an steroid in an attempt to keep it out of the Cone Ship's sight*
<Snipe> Well, if I do declare, I think we found a defenseless ship.
<Ariel> Hopefully you didn't spend all our luck on this.
<Kio> 14"Or it could be a trap and other ships are waiting nearby"
<Snipe> Kio - the optimist.
<Kio> 14"It's kept me alive this far"
<Katrina`> I'm not sure if their shields are up or not.
<Snipe> Hmmm. We can't fly the Aquarius in there. We'd have to go by shuttle.
<Dias> How far away do you want me to pilot the Aquarius
<Snipe> I'll have some of the ensigns pilot it away.
<Snipe> We'll move down to the shuttle and fly in that way.
* Dias nods
* Dias taps on the console slowing the Aquarius down, he then stands up
<Snipe> Everyone remember to wear clean underwear?
* Snipe gets up and moves for the eelvator.
<Katrina`> Ha ha. *she says, getting up and getting in the elevator*
* Kio gets up and heads after him
<Ariel> Yes, dad. *rolls her eyes and gets on the elevator*
* Snipe hands Kio something in a brown box.
* Dias slides onto the elevator, shoving himself in
* Nicolai falls in behind the group
<Kio> 14"What is this?" 2He moves to open it, skeptical
<Snipe> Don't open it until you're in a last resort position
<Snipe> I call it...Boomshacklacka.
<Dias> Great, a giant bomb.
<Kio> oh.." 2Halts in dead action, and places it in his pack
<Dias> And John's finally broke that final twig...
* Snipe hits the button, sending the elevator to the hanger
* Katrina` eyes the package nervously.
* Snipe heads over to the hanger.
<Snipe> So, who's going to fly today?
* Katrina` follows him to the shuttle.
* Snipe grabs Nicolai and shoves him into the pilot seat
<Snipe> Thanks for volunteering.
* Katrina` looks bewildered.
* Dias walks over to the shuttle
* Kio shakes his head and moves onto the shuttle 14"Are you sure he can pilot?"
* Snipe gets into the co-pilot seat.
<Snipe> I consider it a test run.
* Dias steps onto the shuttle and eyes Snipe
<Ariel> Well, this'll be interesting. *takes a seat* .oO( Has he snapped...? )
* Dias he then slides over to a seat and sits down, crossing his arms
<Snipe> Alright, Nicolai...ease the shuttle out that big door there.
<Ariel> *absently* You don't trust the rest of us, do you?
<Snipe> .... *shifts* No.
* Nicolai eases thes shuttle out of the big door
* Ariel sighs and nods slowly. She doesn't like it... but she can't blaim him.
<Snipe> Alright, now ease her toward that big asteroid field.
* Nicolai slowly moves the shuttle towards the large asteroid field
<Snipe> Now...you'll have to dodge the big rocks...or we all die.
* Katrina` grips her seat tightly.
<Nicolai> Great
<Ariel> Simple.
<Snipe> NRP: Alright, Nicolai...you get to play the DODGE THE FUCK GAME.
<Kio> 14"Question, does this bomb have a timer"
* Nicolai maneuvers the shuttle, CAREFULLY, and dodges the asteroids
<Snipe> No.
<Kio> 14"..."
<Snipe> NRP: To dodge the big rocks, you have to type the opposite direction of the one I type.
<Snipe> NRP: BUT YOU ARE TIMED!
<Ariel> NRP: *loves these*
<Dias> NRP: *loves these only if they're done by Cheryl or Dias.
<Snipe> NRP: Do not hit enter before I reach 0, you hit them all. You mis-do a direction, you hit that one
<Snipe> NRP: READY?
<Nicolai> NRP: As ready as I'll ever be
<Kio> NRP: Watch him hafto take a shit right in the middle

<Ariel> NRP: We're doomed ._.
* Dias holds onto Kat's hand, obviously worried he's going to die
* Nicolai moves right left down up
<Snipe> *the shuttle nails all four*
* Snipe winces, glancing at the shields
<Snipe> Okay, you still have 60% shields...
<Nicolai> NRP: I did what you said
<Snipe> NRP: I hit zero before you gave me your answers.
<Nicolai> [22:38] <Snipe> NRP: Do not hit enter before I reach 0, you hit them all. You mis-do a direction, you hit that one
<Snipe> NRP: Huh.
<Dias> NRP: You told him not to hit enter before he hit zero
<Snipe> NRP: I DID say that.
<Snipe> NRP: LOL. Hit enter before I hit zero, or you hit them all.
<Dias> NRP: Which entails that he needs to hit it after it.
<Snipe> NRP: Shhh
<Snipe> NRP: *Cancels the last bit, then, bringing the shields back to 100%*
<Nicolai> NRP: So is it before or after?
<Snipe> NRP: Do your commands before I reach zero
<Nicolai> NRP: Okies

<Nicolai> NRP: I see one
<Snipe> GM: *the shuttle clears the final approach with just a shudder against one rock. Up ahead is the Motenk ship*
* Katrina` lets the breath she has been holding.
* Snipe applauds.
* Nicolai exhales slowly
<Nicolai> NRP: Definitely arcade material
<Ariel> NRP: It's a good thing that having an extra one doesn't throw off all the following ones ^^;
<Snipe> They don't seem to notice us yet.
<Nicolai> NRP: I actually had to start the last one a second time, cause I lost track of where I was
<Dias> NRP: You sir...Suck in a good way.
<Nicolai> Good, the longer they don't see us, the better
<Dias> Wow...Very impressive.
* Snipe looks at a hole in the hull.
<Snipe> I wonder if that's the hanger.
<Ariel> *nods* That wasn't bad
<Nicolai> Thanks
<Kio> 14"Fly into it and find out.."
<Katrina`> My heart...feels strained...
<Snipe> Kio's right - boost like hell for it.
* Nicolai kicks her into high gear and flies towards the hole in the ship
<Snipe> GM: *the Motenk Cone Ship fires at the shuttle - Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right*

* Nicolai right left right left down up right left right left down up up right left
<Snipe> GM: *the shuttle zooms into the hanger and goes skidding across it, heading right for the wall*
<Dias> Wall...
* Nicolai kicks the reverse afterburners in and tries to stop the ship before it hits
<Snipe> GM: *the shuttle comes to a stop one inch from the wall*
* Katrina` groans a little.
* Nicolai exhales slowly again
* Nicolai takes a deep breath, then looks back at the rest of the crew
<Snipe> GM: *the entire hanger is black - the floor, the walls, everything. Green lights run along the walls for light*
<Snipe> We need to find their computers or something - and fast.
* Dias stands up and slides over to the shuttle door, sliding it open
* Kio moves out of the shuttle smirking, with rifle in hand.
* Snipe leaps out of the shuttle.
* Dias slides out behind Kio, sliding low to the ground
* Katrina` gets out, breathing heavy.
* Dias looks at Kat
<Dias> Something wrong?
<Katrina`> Scary...
* Nicolai walks out last, making sure doesn't hyperventilate and pass out
<Dias> What?
<Nicolai> NRP: Kat
<Katrina`> The flight...
* Snipe spots a hallway
<Snipe> I think we should go...THAT way.
* Dias nods to her
* Ariel pats Kat on the shoulder. They didn't actually crash, a rough landing doesn't faze her much any more.
* Kio nods and starts down the hallway, cocking his rifle
* Snipe runs after Kio
* Dias sprints after Kio and Snipe
* Nicolai follows snipe, at a running speed
* Katrina` pauses, then runs after them
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly, in front of them, an army of lizards begin to pile down the hallway, rushing at them like an unbreakable tide*
* Snipe stops
<Snipe> Retreat!
* Snipe runs back toward the hanger.
<Kio> 14"Bah!!" 2Slides to a halt and heads after snipe
* Nicolai turns on his heels and goes the other way
<Dias> Shit...*slides to a halt as Snipe runs past him, he turns around and sprints after her*
* Katrina` pauses, watching them run back.
* Snipe runs back into the hanger, pointing at a second hallway
<Nicolai> this way kat
<Snipe> I feel good about that one
* Snipe runs towards it.
<Nicolai> you don't wanna go in there
<Kio> 14"Yeah..right!!" 2He dashes torward the second hallway
* Katrina` nods, then moves toward the other hallway.
* Nicolai dashes towards the second hallway
* Snipe pants, hearing the thundering feet of the Lizards as they enter the hanger, chasing them
* Dias slides across the floor, passing the second hallway entrance, he plants his feet and runs towards it and down it
<Snipe> GM: *a purple energy field is up ahead of the group*
<Ariel> ...a good feeling, right?
<Nicolai> Holy Sweet fuck
<Snipe> ....perfectly content?
* Snipe stops at the purple field
<Snipe> Well, we can't turn around now..
* Katrina` stops beside Snipe.
* Dias runs at the energy field and into it
<Nicolai> what in the hell are we gonna do?
<Snipe> GM: *Dias vanishes8
<Kio> 14"Any ideas..!" 2He stops at the forcefield
<Nicolai> Huh
<Snipe> ---DIA--oh hell.
<Nicolai> Ummm
<Nicolai> that didn't look good
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards can be seen behind them, aiming their weapons*
<Snipe> ...
<Ariel> ...fight or flight. Better decide quick.
<Snipe> Into the field!
<Nicolai> I believe we're damned if we, and were damned if we don't
<Kio> 14"Fuck it!" 2He attempts to place a foot against snipes hine end and shove him in, then follow
* Nicolai pushes Kio in behind sniper
<Nicolai> snipe*
<Kio> *s*
* Snipe falls in, vanishing
* Ariel says a quick, silent prayer, and heads in.
<Nicolai> Get in quick
* Katrina` nods, then leaps in
* Kio follows snipe in
* Nicolai leaps in last
* Nicolai waves good bye as he vanishes
<Nicolai> NRP: Hopefully we're not all dead
<Dias> NRP: We are...And Kio didn't even use the package.
* Dias slams into the wall and slides down it
<Snipe> GM: *Ariel and Kio enter the computer room, finding Snipe and Dias fighting 3 Lizards*
* Snipe is uppercutted and hits the floor.
* Dias coughs, blood hitting the ground
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards try to bash their tails into Dias; and Snipe's heads*
* Ariel holds her hand out, letting a blast of white energy lance out at the lizard that uppercutted Snipe
* Snipe looks up as his lizard flies off.
* Dias drops to the ground, ducking the tail and shoves himself off the wall and into the lizard
* Kio glances torward the computers narrowing his eyes. He immediatly walks over to the console, looking at it
* Snipe flips to his feet, then looks at the lizard hit the wall. He runs over and rams it into the wall harder.
<Snipe> GM: *the computer consoles look black and have a purple glow*
<Snipe> GM: *a third lizard leaps at Ariel*
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard leaps around Dias and blasts at his back with a gun*
<Kio> 2He prods at it slowly, trying to find an on and off switch.
<Snipe> So, did you two have weird visions!?
* Ariel hops to the side, growing her crystal sword in her hand.
* Snipe gets a tail around his throat and lifted into the air.
* Dias stumbles forward and plants his foot in an effort to throw himself to the side
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard leaps at Dias, trying to bite him*
<Snipe> GM: *the one attacking Ariel swings it's tail at her*
* Dias spins around throwing a punch at it's throat with all his power
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard falls over*
<Snipe> GM: *the computer has a handprint*
* Ariel tries to stab through the tail, "Well, something like that."
* Kio glances, what TYPE oh handprint..
<Snipe> GM: *the tail is barely hurt by the sword*
* Dias 's face grimaces with pain as he pulls it back to nurse it
* Snipe struggles with his lizard.
<Snipe> GM: *the lizard eyes Ariel*
* Dias hops backwards, eyeing his lizard
<Snipe> GM: *the lizard eyes dias*
<Ariel> Hi. *holds her hand out and blasts him instead*
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard deflects the blast at Kio*
* Dias takes in a deep braeth
<Dias> NRP: Breath
<Ariel> *blinks* ..that's a new one.
* Dias waves the Lizard on
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard charges at Dias, grabbing his throat*
<Snipe> Kio! Look otu!
* Kio glances around at the blast and blinks. He unleashes a green energy ball from a ball, meeting in mid air and exploding.
<Snipe> GM: *Dias' lizard is hit by the blast*
* Dias grunts flexing his neck to keep it from behind crushed, he pulls his right hand back and begins to punch the Lizard in it's stomach
<Snipe> GM: *the handprint waits for a hand*
<Snipe> GM: *the three Lizards back up together in a corner*
* Kio growls and turns around, putting his hand against the hand print, though he half expects it to only respond to a lizards.
* Dias takes in a deep breath of air
<Snipe> GM: *the computer comes online, running a DNA scan on him*
<Snipe> GM: *the three lizards begin to turn black and glow purple8
<Ariel> ...this isn't a good sign.
<Dias> ...Son of a bitch...*clenches his fists, his entire body tensing up*
<Snipe> Oh hell.
<Snipe> GM: *the computer comes online - in English*
* Kio immediatly goes to work, trying to get deeper in and take in the information
<Snipe> GM: *the information is all odd - ship logs, reports, nothing useful*
<Snipe> GM: *the three lizards begin to form Dark Matter attacks*
<Kio> 14"Bah some plan snipe..there isn't shit here!"
* Dias lets out a howl
* Dias 's body wavers
* Dias is now known as DarkHeart`
<Snipe> KEep looking.
<Snipe> GM: *the dark matter attacks combine*
* Ariel starts?????l??rgy
* Snipe eyes Ariel.
<Ariel> Nrp:Ack...
* Kio nods and does so
<Ariel> NRP: Sorry, computer went japanese on me
<Snipe> GM: *The Lizards eye Ariel and run away in fear*
<Snipe> GM: *Kio finds a list of dates*
* DarkHeart` form wavers again
* DarkHeart` is now known as Dias
* Snipe eyes Ariel like she's about to foam at the mouth.
<Ariel> ...why is everyone looking at me like that?
* Dias slides beside Kio looking atthe computer
<Dias> NRP: It was Cheryl trying to get out.
<Kio> 14"What the hell happened back there?" 2He doesn't look, as he rapidly strikes at the computer, taking in the dates
<Ariel> NRP: I think a japanese company was trying to hijack TAW, but IRC didn't have the font for it
<Snipe> GM: *the date list goes from recent to older, it seems - but the list is miles long.*
<Dias> Kio, care if I take a look?
<Snipe> GM: *the three Lizards return in full battle armor*
<Kio> 14"Your needed elsewhere..i got this.." 2Glances at the full battle armor lizards.
* Dias hears them return
<Snipe> Oh hell.
<Dias> ....Don't blow up the ship...
<Snipe> Do that thing again Ariel.
<Snipe> GM: *the date list goes on and on--- if Kio is still scrolling, he's already in the thousands*
<Snipe> GM: *As in, 6000 BC*
<Dias> Kio, try to download it to something.
<Dias> Like your datapad.
* Kio just blinks 14"Jesus christ..this is back when cavement existed.." 2He attempts to hook up his datapad to the computer, and download information
<Kio> *cavemen*
* Dias turns around and clencehs his fists again
<Snipe> GM: *the datapad is incompatible*
<Snipe> GM: *the dates keep going - how far will Kio go?*
<Dias> NRP: ALL THE WAY BABY!
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards attack Dias - alll three head on*
<Ariel> ...I don't even know what thing you're talking about.
<Snipe> GM: *they swing their purple swords at him*
<Kio> 14"No dice..looks like i'll have to keep scrolling and find something USEFUL"
* Ariel takes the energy she was charging in hand, and plows her fist into one of the lizards.
<Dias> AIEE!!! *spins between two of the blades and flips over the other
<Snipe> GM: *the lizard is knocked back - but is unharmed*
<Snipe> GM: *Kio is millions of years back now*

<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards explode out and grab Nicolai*
<Snipe> GM: *20 million and still going...*
<Ariel> Kat! Be careful, we have company here.
<Kio> 14"This is pointless..! It just keeps..going!"
* Katrina` activates her sabre, slashing at the Lizards.

<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard grabs Ariel and begins to burn her*
* Nicolai brings a pillar up around the two, hoping to aid ariels freezing
<Snipe> GM: *Kio reaches the bottom. 65 million years.*
* Kio clicks on it
* DarkHeart spins around trying to pinpoint a Lizard
<Snipe> GM: *a picture of the Earth appears, but the language cannot be translated*
<Nicolai> NRP: pillar of water*
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard is frozen by Nicolai and Ariel*
<Snipe> GM: *two Lizards appear behind DH, swinging at him from behind*
<Nicolai> shatter it
<Katrina`> Dias! Look out!
<Ariel> ...what? And free the bugger?
* Snipe flips over Dias and kicks one.
* DarkHeart spins around, hearing Kat's voice and throws his hands infront of him to take the hit
<Nicolai> NRP: I guess he isn't frozen through
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards keep trying to bash DH, knocking Snipe away*
<Kio> 14"Man..i don't know what language its in!!"
<Snipe> GM: *The Earth seems to be moving on the page --- then it glows purple.*
* DarkHeart does the best he can to block the punches thrown at him, the sum of them hitting him

* Ariel glances at the screen, seeing if it's anything she reconizes
* Snipe is punched in the face, falling down.
* Katrina` slashes at one Lizard, but kicked back.
* Kio narrows his eyes at the point of the shockwave, taking every bit of information he can in.
<Snipe> GM: *It's at Mexico - near the Gulf of Mexico*
* Nicolai brings a pillar of earth up under a lizard trying to squish it against the ceiling
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizard smashes through the ceiling, unharmed*
* DarkHeart continues trying to block what he can
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly, thirty more lizards enter the room*
* Kio continues to watch as the shockwave overtakes the earth. Thats when he hears more lizards enter the room
<Ariel> ...... *sighs*
<Snipe> ...I think it's time we ran.
* Katrina` looks around
<Nicolai> Yea, I think this is our cue to leave
<Snipe> GM: *Kio can see something counting down on the page, too --- like a number of something decreasing from the shockwave*
<Snipe> Alright
* Snipe picks a hallway and runs
* Katrina` stumbles after Snipe.
<Nicolai> Go you guys
* Kio absorbs the page and earth map, before running out after snipe
<Snipe> GM: *the 30 Lizards charge after them*

* Nicolai charges out with the rest of the crew, just after Kio, but before DH
* Snipe hurries down the hallway.
* Ariel keeps to the rear of the group, incase the lizards start to catch up
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards indeed are catching up*

<Snipe> GM: *the ceiling isn't damaged at all*
* Kio runs through the hallway and comes to a dead halt after snipe stops 14"Close it already!"
<Snipe> Everyone keep going.

* Snipe struggles to hold them back.
* DarkHeart spins around, throwing a punch at one that leaps at him

<Katrina`> John...Dias...
* Snipe eyes Dias, then the controls
<Snipe> You going buddy?
* Kio looks at snipe 14"You need the box?"
* DarkHeart shakes his head
* Snipe kicks the controls and the door suddenly shuts, blocking the others from Snipe and Dias.
* DarkHeart he quickly ducks under a punch and swings his tail into the lizards head
<Nicolai> What the fuck did they just do
<Katrina`> NO!
<Kio> 14"Lets go!" 2He begins to move again
* Katrina` pounds on the door.
<Ariel> ... *looks at the door that closed just in front of her face*
<Snipe> GM: *the door begins to get dented - the Lizards are trying to come through*
<Ariel> ...dammit John, if I have to explain why you're not coming home to my nieces...

* Katrina` is dragged along.
* Nicolai goes with kio and kar
<Nicolai> kat*

* Katrina` trembles
* Kio stops, seeing the lizards guarding their way out 14"Damn..this is bad.." 2Nods at nicolai, then drags katrina the opposite way of him
<Katrina`> John... I never had a chance..
<DarkHeart> NRP: Kat: To tell you I love you,.
* Nicolai enters the room, and draws the Lizards attention away from the rest of them
<Snipe> GM: *the lizards begin to rush in on Nicolai, almost like hunters to prey*
<Snipe> GM: *the way to the shuttle is clear now*
* Nicolai keeps them away from the shuttle, defending himself as best he can, waiting for the others to get in
* Kio moves katrina onto the shuttle then glances around at nicolai 14"Nows the better time if any!!"
<Nicolai> NRP: I'll try not to die
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards surround him, biting and clawing at him*
* Ariel kneels down, placing her hands on the ground. Nothing happens for a moment, then a shockwave of white energy heads towards the lizard.
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards are knocked back*
<Snipe> GM: *the 30 Lizards from earlier bust in*
<Ariel> Move it! Hurry!

* Katrina` nods
<Katrina`> I can't fly
* Katrina` moves to the co-pilot seat.
<Snipe> GM: *the Lizards leap out at Kio*
* Nicolai takes the pilot seat and kicks the reverse burners in trying to slide them out into space
<Snipe> GM: *the shuttle begins to zoom toward the exit*
* Kio immediatly tosses the box, and the lid would come off in mid flight as the pin with a string pops it open. He immediatly moves to shut the door.
<Snipe> GM: *the box lands and a jack in the box pops out, laughing. The Lizards stop, eyeing it*
<DarkHeart> NRP: Hahaha...
<Snipe> GM: *the shuttle flies back out into space*
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly the entire hanger explodes*
* Nicolai turns tthe shuttle around and flies away from the explosion
<DarkHeart> NRP: *in confetti!*
* Ariel collapses into a seat, closing her eyes
<Snipe> GM: *the Cone Ship turns, then begins to accelerate after them*

<Katrina`> John...Dias...
<Nicolai> Now, all we gotta do is get back out of this asteroid belt with out getting blown up, or hitting and rocks

<Nicolai> How are we gonna dock back up with the ship?
<Snipe> GM: *the Cone Ship begins to send asteroids hurling after them*
<Katrina`> Look otu!

<Nicolai> So they did make it out
<Snipe> GM: *The Aquarius flies in, having fired the blast*

<Ariel> NRP: <Strife> YEEEHAAAH!
<Snipe> GM: *The Cone Ship explodes*
<Katrina`> ....no...
<Nicolai> I'm sure they made it out
<DarkHeart> NRP: *DH and John slam into the shuttle windshield*
* Kio watches the cone ship explode 14"I'm sure the explosion damaged the ship long enough for them to teleport out.."
<Snipe> GM: *the Aquarius tractor beams the shuttle in*
* Katrina` stares out the window at the cone ship being crushed into billions of tiny pieces*
* Ariel quickly heads to the bridge and gives an order to search for any signs of survivors
<Nicolai> you gonna be okay kat?
* Katrina` nods.
<Snipe> GM: *The Aquarius scans the area*
<Nicolai> Where you headed, I'll walk with you
<Katrina`> I think I'll go to the bridge and see if they find them. *hurries up there*
<Snipe> <Ensign 3> I'm detecting a life sign out there!
* Nicolai goes with kat to the bridge
<Ariel> Human?
<Snipe> <Ensign 3> ... Nope.
<Snipe> GM: *a lifepod with a lizard in it can be seen*
<Nicolai> Ummmm
* Kio stumbles out of the shuttle, and immediatly heads up to the bridge
<Ariel> ...bring it in anyways, and prepare tbe brig.
<Ariel> Maybe Slasher would like a disection project.
<Snipe> GM: *the lifepod is brought in. It self-destructs in the hanger*
* Katrina` grabs her seat as the ship shudders.
<Nicolai> Holy shit
<Kio> 14"Oh bright idea..thats the second hanger"
<Ariel> *rubs a head* Make a note... Lizard life pods equiped with suicide devices...
<Snipe> <Ensign 3> I guess I forgot to scan for bombs.

<Nicolai> WAIT
<Snipe> GM: *the Ensign hits the fire button*
* DarkHeart body disappears and reappears on the bridge
<Nicolai> It might not have been booby trapped

<Dias> What...No Dias?
<Kio> 14"You know what..i forgot the information on the computer in the panic"
<Nicolai> you guys are lucky as hell you know that
<Ariel> ...killing you now would be anticlimatic. I'll let Kio have you shot down next time.
<Snipe> ...you did...?
* Snipe winces in pain, sitting down. He seems more hurt than he's leteting on.
<Snipe> Fuck

* Dias coughs, red blood coming from his wounds now
<Nicolai> Kio, that is not funny
<Kio> 14"I have the page down to the color of the backround..'
* Katrina` laughs
<Snipe> Oh man...Kio told a joke...
<Snipe> The world is ending.
<Ariel> ...you're joking, right?
<Nicolai> Oh man, that was some experience
<Kio> 14"I was hoping it would have made you go into shock..it didn't"
<Snipe> So, what did we learn...?
* Snipe holds his side.
<Dias> Snipe, can I punch him?
<Snipe> You may.
<Kio> 14"Punch me and you arn't getting shit.."
* Dias walks up to Kio and punches him in the shoulder, of course it's with his bust fist and he recoils from the pain
<Dias> NRP: busted.
<Dias> Gah...son of a...*kisses his broken knuckles*

<Katrina`> What did you learn, Kio?
<Kio> 14"I hope it serves you right..go down to the medical bay.." 2He sits down 14"Give me a piece of paper"
<Snipe> GM: *Ensign 3 hands Kio a paper*
* Dias smacks Kio across the back of the head with his good hand

<Snipe> I hear we're short on rooms. Want to share with Kio?
<Nicolai> no
<Kio> 14"Could you pipe down please.." 2He begins to draw on the piece of paper, his hand almost blurring
<Nicolai> I'll sleep somewhere else first
* Dias looks at Kio
<Snipe> I'll share a room with you, ARiel.
<Dias> Could you draw any sloweR?
<Dias> I get a room with Kat.
<Katrina`> Excuse me?
<Nicolai> No you don't
<Nicolai> thats for kat to decide
<Dias> I'm the only one who can be trusted with Kat.
* Snipe snorts.
<Nicolai> I don't think so
<Ariel> ...I don't trust any of you with Kat.
* Katrina` crosses her arms.
* Garland has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Dias looks at Ariel, showing the most hurt expression he can
* Garland has joined #taw
<Ariel> Dias... that looks fake enough for a B-movie
* Kio finishes and stands, he slips katrina the piece of paper. Showing the drawing of earth, with a dot and coordinates near the gulf of mexico. Most of the unknown signs have been jotted down under it, like it was on the screen, and then theres the timer. The benefits of having some machine inside
<Dias> I'm mourning here, I need a strong woman to help me make it through.
<Nicolai> what about me? I've never done anything to lose trust...
* Katrina` studies it
<Katrina`> I'll get right on this
* Katrina` ignores everyone and goes to her science station.
<Kio> 14"A shockwave of sorts emitted from those coordinates..just fyi.."
