<Wind`> Session 231: The Dead World - PARNEL
<Wind`> Time Chart: December 10th, 2223
<Wind`> Location: The Aquarius
<Wind`> Narrator: Once the Aquarius learned that the Motenks were using the dead world of Parnel as their main base of operations, things began to move quickly. The Tsivrixsh armada was contacted and they began to gather near the Earth, where the Aquarius would lead the assault through the wormholes and blackholes
* Katrina` sits at her science station, doing data checks on all of their systems.
* Colephantus is sitting in the Pilot's Seat. Tapping occasionally.
* Kio shifted in his seat at the weapons situation, looking around silently
* Wind` is on the bridge, lecturing some Ensigns about what sort of shield settings they'll need for this.
* Dias taps his fingers on a railing
* Colephantus rubs his neck and looks over at Dias.
<Colephantus> You alright?
* Katrina` finishes her system checks, leaning back in her seat.
<Dias> Just anxious.
* Colephantus nods.
* Colephantus ponders for a moment. "Whos going to Pilot this thing?"
* Wind` watches the ensigns walk off to do their given assignments.
<Dias> Either me or Death Star.
* Colephantus stands, in order to vacate the Pilot's Seat.
<Dias> Just hold up for now Cole.
<Katrina`> I'm going to get some food guys. Any requests?
* Katrina` stands up, looking over at everyone.
* Colephantus glances at Kat. Wondering for a moment.
<Wind`> Some coffee, please, Katrina.
<Dias> Bacon Sandwich, tons of bacon.
<Colephantus> I'll tag along and help you carry the food if you don't mind?
<Katrina`> Sure.
* Dias looks out the view screen as Tsiv Battle Cruisers drop out of hyperspace
* Katrina` glances over at the quiet Kio
<Katrina`> DNeed anything, Kio?
* Chris|Backabout8 has joined #taw
* Colephantus has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Garland has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Chris|Backabout8 is now known as Colephantus
<Colephantus> NRP: Ummm. Did I miss anything?
<Dias> NRP: Yeah, we're done.
* Katrina` pauses, seeing Kio isn't going to respond. She nods, stepping into the elevator.
<Dias> Why is it everytime we goto Parnel, it gets attacked?
* Wind` glances at Dias, quirking an eyebrow.
* Colephantus also steps into the Elevator.
* Dias spins around and leans against the railing
* Katrina` hits the floor button for the cafeteria, then steps back, leaning against the wall.
<Colephantus> So. How are you doing?
<Kio> Nrp: Sorry had to take my pills
* Colephantus puts his hands behind his back as he leans a shoulder against the elevator.
<Katrina`> Better. Still having some nightmares lately...but I'll be fine.
* Kio looks over katrina, seeing her leave. He realized she wasn't there, and sighed.
<Colephantus> I never did apologize to you....
* Dias looks over at Wind
<Katrina`> For what?
<Colephantus> Well for almost killing us all. And for what I did to Snipe. I made a lot of mistakes.
<Katrina`> There's no harm in what you did. You took charge of a situation. You did what was needed, Cole. *she steps out as the elevator doors open*
* Colephantus leaves his hands behind his back as he follows her out. Sighing a bit.
* Katrina` moves into the cafeteria, preparing the orders.
<Wind`> GM: *alarms begin to off*
<Colephantus> You might want to grab Kio a Sandwi....
* Colephantus jerks his head up.
<Wind`> Computer: Anamolie on floor 2. Unknown intruder alert.
<Colephantus> Trouble...Stay here.
* Dias looks up
* Colephantus turns and dahses for the elevator. Pressing the 2nd floor button.
* Katrina` pauses, then nods.
<Dias> I'm on it...*he pushes himself off and slides over to the elevator hopping onto it and hitting the 2nd floor button*
<Wind`> GM: *the elevator picks up Cole, then zooms up to Dias, to get him*
* Colephantus eyes Dias.
<Dias> NRP: What kind of ship has one elevator?!
* Dias looks at him and steps on
<Wind`> NRP: Only one elevator goes to the bridge.
* Colephantus then presses the second floor button.
<Wind`> GM: *the elevator zooms them down to the second floor*
* Slasher has joined #taw
* Colephantus holds his arm up and his hand pulls in, a large cannon takes it's place.
<Kio> 2Kios eyes suddenly widened, and he immediatly heads torward the second floor. He knew exactly who it was..
* Dias steps out of the elevator, looking around the hall
<Dias> Computer, pinpoint the intruders position.
<Wind`> Computer: Kio's Room.
* Colephantus slowly begins walking down the hall.
* Kio is now known as Past_Kio
* Dias starts walking down the hallway towards Kio's Room
<Dias> Keep your guard up Cole.
* Colephantus nods. Coming to a halt at Kio's Door.
<Past_Kio> 2He glanced around 14"What...the fuck.." 2His eyes blinked, wondering how he ended up on the Aquarious. He quickly breaks off into a dash, heading out of his room..ramming through anyone in front of him. Heading torward the bridge
* Dias slides backwards as Kio pops out
<Dias> ...What the hell?
* Colephantus jumps back seeing Kio.
<Colephantus> Wasn't he just in the bridge?
<Dias> That's what I thought...
<Dias> Computer, Is the intruder still in Kio's room?
<Wind`> Computer: Negative. Intruder is heading for bridge.
* Colephantus turns into a run behind him.
<Dias> ...What the...*spins towards the elevator and runs towards it*
* Wind` stands on the bridge, turning to face the entrance to it.
* Katrina` walks onto the bridge with food for all, including a sandwich for Kio.
* Past_Kio would erupt through the bridge, he took no glance at wind. He didn't know this ship, so he immediatly looked across maps, trying to find the nearest hanger. He needed to get out of here, fast
<Wind`> ....Kio?
* Colephantus is running after Kio, but is a little bit behind.
<Dias> ...*slows to a stop*
* Katrina` pauses, then holds out a sandwich to Kio
<Katrina`> Hungry?
* Past_Kio paused at katrina and raised a brow. He looked at katrina and laughed 14"What the hell..i'm sure this wouldn't happen in the future.." 2He would attempt to put katrina in a heavy kiss..man The present kio is gonna freak. After that he takes the sandwich and retreats down the steps
* Katrina` pauses, blinking her eyes in confusion. She turns to look at the door
<Katrina`> Wow.
<Wind`> ...!
<Dias> Computer...Try to lock the intruder into a corridor.
<Colephantus> *Seeing Kio kiss Katrina* .oO( That...bastard.)
* Colephantus slides on the railing down the steps, hot on Kio's heels.
<Wind`> Computer: Intruder in stairwell. Lock all exiting doors?
* Past_Kio would slide down the steps quickly, trying to throw himself into one of the door leading to a hangar
<Dias> Computer, where is he now?
<Wind`> Computer: Intruder in hanger.
<Dias> Computer, Lock him down.
<Wind`> Computer: Locking down hanger.
* Dias turns and runs towards the hanger making a mad dash for it
<Wind`> GM: *all the doors begin to slam shut, leaving only the Future Gear unguarded*
* Colephantus slides up to the door. It wont budge.
* Past_Kio arrives, and looks up at fg. Slowly he crawls up the legs, and into the cockpit, closing it. He begins to activate all its systems
<Colephantus> Great....
<Wind`> GM: *the Future Gear begins to come to life and seems to accept Kio's signature already, as if he's piloted it before*
<Wind`> Computer: Intruder in Gear.
<Dias> Computer, can you hack into the Gear and shut it down?
<Colephantus> Comm: Umm Dias I can't get in.
<Wind`> Computer: Attempting.
* Colephantus begins to punch the door.
<Wind`> GM: *the doors shatters in from Cole's punch. He's just in time to see a special anamolie appear by the Gear*
* Dias grabs his comm as he pushes through the stairwell doorwar, he leaps over the railing and hops down to the floor of the Hanger and grabs onto the railing
<Wind`> (spacial)
* Past_Kio nods and begins to use its system. He activates the blaster and fires off a few pot shots in the hanger trying to get out. Kios eyes wide as he sees the anomlie, and he quickly retreats into it.
<Wind`> GM: *a shot heads right for Cole*
<Wind`> GM: *the rift closes behind Kio*
* Past_Kio is now known as Kio
<Colephantus> NRP: Gaahh .
<Wind`> Computer: Intruder has vanished.
* Colephantus hits the ground to avoid the shot.
* Colephantus looks up to see him gone.
* Kio appears back on bridge, glaring at wind 14"It happened didn't it?"
<Colephantus> Damnit...
<Wind`> GM: *the shot hits the wall, blasting a huge hole*
* Colephantus glances back at the hole.
* Wind` looks back from the monitors
<Colephantus> ...
<Wind`> Yes. It seems that your past self has come and gone.
* Katrina` sits in her chair, still stunned.
<Kio> 14"..dammit.."
<Dias> ...Computer, unlock the hanger.
<Wind`> GM: *The hanger unlocks itself*
<Colephantus> Comm: We need a maintanence team in the hanger.
* Dias begins running up the stairs to the bridge
* Colephantus stands and walks slowly back up the steps for the bridge.
<Wind`> When you said you went into the future, you left uot certain details.
<Kio> 14"..yeah"
* Wind` looks at Kat, then at Kio. He shakes his head, turning back to the monitors.
* Dias steps onto the bridge finally and looks around
<Dias> What the hell just happened?
<Wind`> Time.
* Colephantus steps in just after Dias.
<Colephantus> I accidently punched in one of the securty doors. Might want to get that fixed...
<Dias> *looks at him with a deadpan look* What?
* Wind` sees the last of the Tsivrixsh fleet moving in.
<Wind`> It's time. *He says, gesturing at the viewscreen*
* Colephantus steps up beside the captains chair. Staring out at the fleet.
* Katrina` looks at Cole, then hands him his food.
* Katrina` still seems dazed.
* Wind` moves to the pilot's seat, entering a set of coordinates that are not related to Parnel at all.
* Wind` forwards them to the rest of the fleet.
* Colephantus accepts it and nods to Kat. Silent.
* Katrina` then hands Dias his food.
* Dias grabs it and nods to her approvingly
* Katrina` hands DS his coffee.
* Wind` takes it, sipping it as he finishes the coordinates. He steps back, looking at Dias
<Wind`> The fleet leaves on your command.
* Dias looks back
<Dias> Why me?
<Slasher> MiniGM: A ship suddenly drops out into normal space, it floats foward a couple shades lighter than the blackness of space, a giant green emblem of a sword is on the front of the ship, it's sleek and slender hull shows signs of Tsivirxsh, Alliance and Chiere technology. It's slightly bigger than a standard Alliance Battlecruiser but it's obvious this one is made to move fast.
<Wind`> With Junior and Snipe not here, it's up to you.
<Dias> I'm not a good leader tho.
<Wind`> ...
* Kio sits down at his station, ready to power up the shields
* Wind` turns to look at Cole.
* Colephantus arches a brow. "I've never been to Parnel. We need a commander with Experience."
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the ship hails the Aquarius*
* Colephantus instinctively reaches down to press the button to recieve the message.
<Wind`> GM: *an Ensign brings it on screen*
<Colephantus> NRP: Poo.
* Slasher appears on the viewscreen
<Slasher> It looks like we made it just in time.
* Wind` nods, then sits down in the pilot's seat.
<Wind`> Hello, Slasher.
<Slasher> This'll be an interesting test flight for the Alliances new Flag Ship I must say.
* Dias turns nodding to Slasher
* Wind` smirks, finishing his pre-flight set up.
<Slasher> Send me the coordinates so I can follow in line Death Star.
<Wind`> Done.
<Slasher> See you on the flip side. *his hand reaches down and flips a switch, he disapears off the viewscreen*
* Katrina` chews on her salad.
* Dias finishes his sandwich
* Wind` grabs the controls, rearing the Aquarius around. He then jerks her forward, flying away from Earth.
* Kio leans back, crossing his arms 14"You know..i wonder if i still have that sandwich"
* Wind` shakes his head, pulling the lever and sending them into hyperspace.
<Colephantus> You probably ate it.
* Katrina` looks at Kio out of the corner of her eye now.
* Wind` jerks them out of hyperspace in an empty sector.
<Katrina`> Wormhole detected.
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the Alliance Flag ship drops into normal space next to the Aquarius*
<Wind`> GM: *the Tsivrixsh fleet begins to drop out next after the first tow*
* Wind` turns the Aquarius toward the wormhole.
<Slasher> MiniGM: *a group of 20 ships, no two the same drop out of hyperspace off to the side of the Aquarius and the Flag Ship*
<Katrina`> Entering wormhole in 2.3 minutes.
<Dias> This is going to be interesting.
* Kio gets ready to raise shields
<Wind`> Cole, send the new ships the coordinates.
<Colephantus> Alright......Done.
* Wind` boosts towards the wormhole at unsafe speeds.
<Wind`> Advice all ships to lock onto the Aquarius and have their computers or pilots do exactly what I do - by the numbers.
* Colephantus glances down at Wind.
<Slasher> *The Flag Ship locks in behind the Aquarius*
<Wind`> (advise)
* Colephantus punches up the comm to all ships, giving them the command.
* Wind` zooms right into the wormhole, the ship shaking and shuddering at the speeds they're going now.
* Kio holds his seat 14"Man..is this such a good idea.."
<Katrina`> All scans are being reflected or scattered...I can't even tell we exist right now.
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the 20 misc. ships head in behind the others, following the Aquarius's actions*
* Wind` grinds the Aquarius along the wormhole. The speed meter between him and Kio is off the scale, indicating they are going faster than the ship is capable of.
<Wind`> GM: *Cole's comm system is offline now*
<Colephantus> ....Well I lost contact with them.
* Wind` sends them spiraling through the hole - it seems as if they are falling, then going up, then falling, then going up, through a strange tunenl*
* Dias holds onto the railing, but if it's affecting him, his face isn't showing it
<Colephantus> Man this is gruesome on my stomach. Especially after I just ate.
<Wind`> GM: *they suddenly exit back into nromal space - with five blackholes in front of them. The Aquarius is grabbed, being sucked right in*
* Kio twitches violently
* Wind` jerks the controls, boosting toward the blackhole
<Katrina`> All systems back online.
<Kio> 14"I should have pointed to a clear system.."
<Wind`> GM: *the blackhole gets bigger and bigger on the screens*
<Dias> Kio, shut up and have trust in what he's doing.
* Wind` turns the ship, so they begin to skate along the blackhole in a slingshot effect, being shot out over another blackhole.
* Colephantus tightens his grip on the closest thing he can grab..
<Kio> 14"I wouldn't be here if i didn't trust him.."
* Wind` shoves the Aquarius straight down, right for a hidden wormhole.
* Katrina` holds her station, watching the systems go offline one by one again as they are flung into the wormhole.
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius begins to zoom faster and faster, the speed dial once again at it's max, despite the fact they're moving faster and fasteR*
<Wind`> GM: *a few Tsivrixsh ships fly right into the blackhole and are never seen again*
* Colephantus blinks, watching Wind's piloting skills.
<Wind`> GM: *they are spit back out into normal space, three blackholes in front of them. The Aquarius zooms toward the left one*
<Katrina`> Um, Dad...
* Wind` keeps a steady flight toward it, moving closer and closer, until finally, the blackhole is entirely in front of them
* Wind` flies straight into it and all the controls go dead as they fly forward, entirely in black now.
<Wind`> GM: *the shields begin to get crunched and the hull whines*
* Kio rolls back, feeling a bit uncomfortable right now
* Katrina` closes her eyes.
<Wind`> GM: *suddenly, they are back in real space and everything comes online. In front of them is the planet Parnel, looking like a volanic, red, dead planet. But that's not the main sight --- it's the 2,000 ships of the Motenk Fleet, which outnumber the hero's fleet 20 to 1.
* Katrina` opens her eyes as the scans coem in
<Katrina`> Oh my God..
<Colephantus> Orders?
* Dias looks out at the view screen, his jaw dropping
<Wind`> Have every ship launch every single gear or fighter they have.
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the Alliance Flag ship drops out next to the Aquarius*
<Wind`> GM: *the Tsivrixsh Fleet begins to pour in*
* Colephantus begins relaying the message.
<Kio> 14"..man"
<Wind`> GM: *the Motenk Fleet begins to turn and fly straight for them*
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the Cartel Fleet begins to pour in their shields going up instantly*
<Colephantus> That means us too? *looks over at Dias*
<Wind`> GM: *millions of small Cone Fighters are launched*
* Dias looks back at DS
<Wind`> No. You boys have more important stuff.
* Dias nods
<Colephantus> Right.
<Wind`> I'm getting you to Parnel.
<Wind`> GM: *hundreds of thousands of gears and ships are launched from the allied fleets toward the Motenks*
<Slasher> MiniGM: *fleets of fighters and gears begin to pour out of the Flag Ship as hundreds of White Laser blasts arc out of the Flag ship twoards the oncoming Motenk Fleet*
<Wind`> GM: *the Motenk Fleet opens fire, purple lasers streaking acros the sky*
* Wind` zooms downward, trying to go under the massive fleet. Hundreds of Motenk ship are doign the same*
<Wind`> Get ready Kio.
<Wind`> Divert half your controls to the Captain's chair. Dias or Cole, take it and help Kio fire.
* Kio nods and begins to target
* Colephantus glances at Dias.
<Colephantus> Your choice.
<Dias> Go ahead.
<Kio> 14"Alright.." 2He begins to reroute weapons system to the captains chair
* Colephantus slides into the captains chair, seeing what systems he has of use.
<Wind`> GM: *the Motenk Fleet zooms in, firing at the Aquarius in wide range of firepower*
* Wind` begins to jerk the Aquarius around to avoid the shots.
<Wind`> GM: *the Weapon Systems on the Aquarius are :White Laser, HSM, Normal Laser, Normal Fire, Unknown System A*
* Colephantus opens fire on the fleet with the White Laser.
<Wind`> GM: *the fleet explodes from the white lasers, forming dozens of "Stars" in the sky*
<Slasher> MiniGM: *the Flag Ship's concussion cannons begin firing at the oncoming Cone Fighters while the White Lasers Batteries arc out at the oncoming fleet*
<Colephantus> Kio. Use the HSMs for their Battleships.
<Wind`> GM: *thousands of fighters begin to fire on Flag Ship*
<Wind`> GM: *three Motenk Ships fire on the Aquarius*
<Kio> 14"Gotcha.." 2He begins to target the bigger ships, firing off multiple Hsms
<Wind`> GM: *10 Motenk Ships fire on the Flag Ship*
<Wind`> GM: *Motenk Ships explode from the HSM and the AQuarius flies through the debris, heading for Parnel*
<Slasher> *The Flag ship begins to drop, moving at a faster pace than most ships of it size can*
* Katrina` shouts out where ships are, but at this point, it's just fire because you'll hit something
* Colephantus tries to take out any possible threats with the White Laser.
<Wind`> GM: *30 Motenk Ships fly right for the Aquarius in an intercept course*
<Slasher> *The Flag Ship returns fire at the 10 ships*
<Wind`> GM: *the 10 ships explode, replaced by 40 more*
<Slasher> *The Cartel Fleet breaks apart firing at the fighters*
<Kio> 14"Gah..they are way to many.."
* Wind` jerks the Aquarius aaround, trying not to accidently ram someone.
<Wind`> GM: *the Tsivrixsh fleet pounds on the Motenks*
<Slasher> *A section in the bottom of the Flag Ship splits open and a White light begins to form in it*
<Wind`> GM: *the 30 ships fire, hitting the Aquarius. Shields begin to drop*
* Wind` grimaces, spinning the Aquarius
<Colephantus> Damnit.
<Wind`> I need you to clear a path, boys.
<Slasher> *the White shots from the Flag ship become less and less frequent as the White glow gets brighter*
* Kio targets ships that are ahead of them, and fires off more HSM
<Kio> *s*
* Colephantus returns with a arc of the white laser.
<Colephantus> NRP: *an
<Wind`> GM: *15 of the ships explode from Kio and Cole's combined efforts, 15 more continue on*
* Colephantus loads up a missle salvo to use against the ships.
<Katrina`> 500 more Motenk ships have arrived in the area.
* Colephantus fires it.
<Wind`> GM: *the missiles barely damage the shields*
<Colephantus> ...
* Wind` zooms downward, as 25 ships are now firing at them*
* Colephantus reverts back to using the White Laser.
* Colephantus fires it at every chance he can get. Aiming for the closest Motenk.
<Wind`> GM: *explosions surround the Aquarius as Cole fires*
<Slasher> *All the WHite Lasers cease and several seconds later a wide White Laser shoots off from the section heading into the center of a group of Ships*
<Wind`> GM: *the Flag Ship blows up nearly 50 Motenk Ships*
<Colephantus> Slasher is a genius....
<Wind`> GM: *suddenly, 100 Motenk ships have now surrounded the Aquarius*
<Wind`> ...we're surrounded...
<Colephantus> ....
<Wind`> GM: *they begin to charge for coup de grace blow*
<Colephantus> Punch the boosters.
<Wind`> Surrounded, we can't.
<Slasher> *The Flag Ship continues to dodge and weave what it can as the Concussion Cannons continue their onslaught against the fighters
<Colephantus> Should we fire?
<Wind`> WE don't have enough HSM and the White Laser won't hit them in time.
<Dias> ...Try the unknown system...
<Colephantus> ....
<Colephantus> Alright.
* Colephantus brings up the unknown systems and activates it.
<Wind`> GM: *it seems Cole needs Kio to activate his, too*
* Kio nods at cole, and turns on the unknown system
<Katrina`> They will fire in 10 seconds.
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius suddenly goes very dark, as if all power is gone.*
<Slasher> *White Lasers begin to fire more and more frequently once again*
* Colephantus looks around.
<Kio> 14"..not a good idea"
<Wind`> GM: *they suddenly 10 small balls of white light shoot out of the Aquarius, fly up, then form into one big one. It explodes outward, blowing up 80 Motenk Ships in it's giant wave. The Aquarius comes back to life*
<Slasher> Flag Ship: *Begins pulling back away from teh Aquarius, making distance*
* Wind` jerks the Aquarius downward to avoid the shockwave.
<Wind`> GM: *shields come back online finally*
<Katrina`> Our shields are back. At 70% and standing.
* Colephantus quickly gets back to using the White Laser to fend off the motenks.
<Wind`> GM: *the Motenk Ships explode from Cole's attacks as they try to get near them*
<Slasher> MiniGM: *Several of the Cartel fleet's ship begin to explode*
<Wind`> GM: *suddenly, 40 Tsivrixsh ships explode. A ship just like the flag ship appears*
<Wind`> Damn
<Colephantus> Whats going on?
* Wind` boosts forward, moving rapidly past Motenk ships, even as the huge ship begins to come in after them
<Wind`> We have another of those giant Motenk ships.
<Kio> 14"A big ass..ship appeared"
<Wind`> GM: *the Giant Motenk Ship begins to charge for another attack*
<Colephantus> So that have more than one Flag Ship?
<Colephantus> HSMs wont work..
* Wind` zooms along, trying to keep enemy ships between them and the big one.
<Katrina`> Expected attack in 20 seconds.
<Wind`> We're not close enough to Parnel...
* Colephantus fires a White laser in front of the aquarius to clear it's path.
<Kio> 14"Grrr.."
<Wind`> GM: *Motenk Ships explodes, even as the Aquarius rattles from stray fire*
<Katrina`> Expected attack in 10 seconds.
<Slasher> Flah Ship: *begins to charge up another SuperCharged Blast, the White Laser's begin to dwindle again*
<Wind`> GM: *the huge Ship keeps flying, knocking it's own ships out of the way*
<Katrina`> Expected attack in 5 seocnds.
* Colephantus sighs, still firing.
<Colephantus> What about that Unknown System?
<Colephantus> Should we use it again?
<Wind`> GM: *a huge purple blast shoots out towards them, blowing up all ships in it's way*
<Dias> Too dangerous.
<Kio> 14"..do we have hyper capabilities?"
* Wind` growls, grabbing the lever and entering them in hyperspace - a suicide game in this type of environment
<Wind`> GM: *they enter hyperspace*
<Wind`> GM: *they are suddenly ripped out of hyperspace, right in front of a black hole*
<Wind`> Brace yourself
* Wind` tries to get the boosters to work.
* Colephantus grips the captains seat.
* Kio holds his seat
<Slasher> Flag Ship: *the laser cannons begin to die down to nothing, then several seconds later another Supercharged White Laser blast is launched outwards towards the Motenk Fleet with the most together
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius spirals towards the blackhole*
<Wind`> GM: *Motenk Ships explode one by one*
* Wind` finally turns the Aquarius around and boosts towards Parnel, now in range.
<Wind`> Alright people. You need to get to the shuttle.
<Wind`> Katrina, you too.
* Dias nods
* Kio stands up nodding, he heads torward the elevator
<Dias> Keep the ship warm for us. *slides into the elevator*
* Wind` moves to the captain's chair and brings flight controls and weapon controls to his seat.
* Colephantus stands and rushes down the steps, for the hangar.
* Katrina` gets up
<Katrina`> Stay...safe...
* Katrina` follows the others.
* Wind` sits down, grabbing the controls.
<Slasher> FlagShip: *is once again left with Concussion Cannons as the Cartel fleet swarms around it to help defend it*
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius begins to zoom around, firing white lasers around at anything that is an enemy*
* Katrina` hurries to the hanger, moving up to a shuttle. She sits in the middle.
* Kio steps out of the elevator, moving into the same shuttle as katrina
* Dias runs to the shuttle and hops in moving to the pilots seat
* Colephantus gets in the co-pilots seat.
* Dias 's hand runs along the switches flipping them all up, the shuttle powers up
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius rattles hard*
<Dias> We all on?'
<Colephantus> I assume.
* Dias lifts the shuttle up and spins it around, heading out of the Aquarius and into space
<Katrina`> So it's up to us to beat the Motenk army? *she says, fear in her voice*
<Slasher> FlagShip: *begins to fire off White Laser Blasts once again*
<Wind`> GM: *fighters begin to swarm in to attack the shuttle, but the Aquarius navigates itself between the fighters and the shuttle*
* Dias spins the shuttle and boost towards the planet of Parnel
* Colephantus sighs.
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius boosts along beside them, firing at the enemy fighters.*
<Colephantus> ANother Day in the life of heros I guess...*being quite sarcastic for a change*
<Wind`> GM: *they enter the black, hazy atmosphere of Parnel. Fighters swarm in to get them, but the Aquarius blows them up, entering the atmosphere next, despite not being designed for it*
* Colephantus brings up the weapons system. Knowing they wont be of much use.
<Dias> Keep the shields alive Cole and let me know what's comign up.
<Wind`> GM: *scans indicate a massive Motenk city below*
* Dias heads straight down towards the planet
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius follows suit, fire surrounding it*
<Wind`> GM: *two Motenk Ships follow, along with 100 fighters*
* Dias jacks the shuttle level with the ground, it groaning from the quick change in angle
* Colephantus looks at Dias.
<Colephantus> I'll put it to you this way. We are being followed by more than we can handle.
<Wind`> GM: *Dias is now in the middle of a massive, futuristic looking city - everything seems to be staggeringly tall and is the color of purple8
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius stops, then begins to fire on the enemies. They engage in the sky above*
* Kio glances out the window
<Colephantus> Lets hope Star can handle it.
* Dias begins looking around at the city in an attempt to find a good spot
* Colephantus scans for a good spot.
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius takes massive damage, unable to hold off the enemy for long in an atmosphere*
* Dias hands begin to tense
* Colephantus glances at Dias.
<Wind`> GM: *Cole picks up massive energy readings in the middle of the city - with landing pads nearby*
<Colephantus> The middle of the city.
* Colephantus points it out to Dias.
<Dias> Aye.
* Dias barrelrolls the shuttle and heads along the city sky towards the center
<Wind`> GM: *automated defenses begin to fire from the city, hurling purple blasts at the shuttle*
* Katrina` holds onto her seat.
<Dias> Hold on...*jerks the shuttle up avoiding several volleys then barrelrolls to the side*
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius destroys both of the Motenk Ships, then plummets downward in a firey wreckage*
* Colephantus focus' on keeping the shields alive.
* Colephantus glances at the Aquarius.
<Colephantus> We have to go get DS.
<Wind`> GM: *70 fighters zoom in over the city toward the shuttle*
<Dias> We can't.
<Kio> 14"I don't think so.."
<Colephantus> ...Shit.
<Katrina`> Dad...
<Wind`> GM: *the Aquarius tilts, aiming itself right for the city. It fires blast after blast into the city, blowing up sections of it, and knocking the fighters around*
<Wind`> GM: *then it smashes right into the city, leveling a huge area, as it pummels into structure after structure*
<Dias> Sorry Kat. *drops down into the city and begins flying above the street, weaving under and over over passes*
<Wind`> GM: *they are nearing a huge structure in the center - obviously some sort of fortress*
* Dias weaves along the street
<Colephantus> So what exactly are we supposed to be doing in this fortress?
<Dias> Destroy it.
<Colephantus> Sounds Fun.
<Wind`> GM: *they are now within range of it*
* Colephantus looks about the fortress for an entrance.
<Dias> Lock on and fire a hole into it.
<Wind`> GM: *There is one main entrance, heavily guarded*
<Dias> ...Fire there.
* Dias points
* Katrina` hangs on
* Colephantus loads up two missles and fires.
<Wind`> GM: *the missiles smash into the entrance, blowing up various things*
<Colephantus> God I love explosions.
* Dias drops low to match altitude and heads right for it
<Dias> Get ready for a fight.
* Colephantus glances back at Kat and Kio.
<Colephantus> Good Luck.
<Wind`> GM: *the shuttle zoosm into the entrance, ramming some pieces of debris. It begins to smash along the floor and then hits a secondary wall, then a third wall, then comes to a stop, completely wrecked, in a lobby area*
<Kio> 14"..right.." 2Kio cocks his rifle, and pushes open the shuttle door
* Colephantus hops up and loads up his plasma cannon, opening the ramp.
* Dias is bounced around in his seat
<Wind`> GM: *hundreds of Motenks stand around*
* Katrina` steps out, holding her sabre.
* Colephantus eyes the Motenk.
* Colephantus smirks.
<Kio> 14"..oh this is bad.."
* Dias pushes himself up and slides to the back and out of the shuttle
<Colephantus> Boo.
<Wind`> GM: *suddenly a purple blast impacts against the Motenks from behind, blowing them forward*
<Dias> Let's see how you guys like having your homes destroyed.
* Dias covers his eyes from the blast
* Colephantus arches a brow. "Seems out words are deadly, Dias."
* Colephantus looks to where the blast may have came from.
<Wind`> GM: *the Lizard "Motenks" begin to flee*
* Wind` is now known as Snipe
* Snipe steps forward, his eyesockets glowing purple.
* Dias eyes Snipe
<Katrina`> John...?
<Kio> 14"..shit he has a motenk in him.."
<Dias> JOHN!
<Colephantus> Uhhh...
* Kio aims his rifle at snipe
* Dias slides uneasily towards Snipe
<Snipe> The end is here.
<Snipe> Session Ends

<Colephantus> Wooooooooooooooot.
