* Firebird snores loudly, still asleep
* Archon is sitting next to Ire, watching a martial arts tournament on his vidscreen, seems their actually using unsheathed katanas.
* Ire grunts.
* Stark walks by the vidscreen, stopping and looking it.
<Dahok> ...*looks at Ire* Hey...somethings muissing.
<Archon> I'd give my right strength enhancement for the chance to fight with one of these guys.
* Unoria stands over Firebird and watches him sleep for a moment with soft eyes.. She smiles then turns to grab her clothes.
<Ire> ...what?
<Dahok> Your alcohol.;
<Ire> ...
* Ire ignores Dahok.
* Archon slams down two beers in quick succession.
* Dahok quirks his eye at Archon
<Dahok> Who's he?
* Ire eyes Archon
<Ire> Another reason to quit this job.
* Stark glances at Ire.
* Unoria grabs her pants and struggles to get them on... She looses her balance and tumbles on the floor, banging her head on the wall..
* Archon eyes Dahok,.
<Archon> Mind directing your questions about me, my way?
<Ire> GM: *suddenly a "Special News Report" flashes on the Holovid*
<Dahok> No...
* Unoria stands up quickly and puts the rest of her clothes on... She walks over to Firebird, leans over and kisses him on his forehead, in hopes to wake him up
<Ire> Newscaster: Just moments ago police apprehended a Lunarian trying to break into Tyler McCabe's main officer. The Lunarian, supposedly a young girl, is being held by McCabe's people for questioning. It's believed she may have had a hand in the death of President Slasher five years ago. So far the only thing McCabe's people will release is that the girl's name is Michuri. As of now, most police units are being assigned to watch McCabe's office to make sure no more people break in.
<Ire> Newscaster: We'll keep you posted as this situation developes.
<Stark> Hrm.
<Dahok> .....Michuri?
<Dahok> She sound familiar Ire?
<Genie> NRP: Isn't it Michiru? ^^;
<Ire> NRP: Yes.
<Ire> Not really.
* Unoria shrugs, obviously not going to be waking up that sleepy head anytime soon, so she decides to grab herself a coffee downstairs. She closes the door quietly behind her and walks down.
<Dahok> ...What's with the sudden appearance of Lunarians...
<Ire> Good question. I'm beginning to think they really did get rid of Slasher.
<Archon> Only one way to find out...
<Dahok> .....*looks at Archon* Who the hell are you?!
<Archon> The name Henry Jackson jones, your Special Unit decided to call me archon for some reason.
<Dahok> .....uh yeah...So your....a newbie then..
<Dahok> Newbie's buy donuts...
* Firebird yawns, and rolls out of bed, taking the sheets with him as he crashes into the floor
<Archon> I don't think so. Perhaps you'd like to test out my prowess with a sword?
<Dahok> Perhaps you'd like to test out a thing called line of command...
* Unoria bounces down the stairs cheerfully and notices the trio in the lounge. She makes two cups of coffee, one for herself and the other for Firebird and heads back upstairs.
* Firebird blinks and looks around
<Firebird> Huh...?
<Firebird> ...Crap, slept in again...
* Ire looks back and forth between Firebrid and Archon.
<Archon> I respect my Lt. You are not my superior.
<Dahok> Your new meaning your a private....While I on the other hand am a...*looks at Ire* What am I again?
<Unoria> NRP: umm, Firebird is on the floor of his room!
<Dahok> NRP: AHHH they did it in my room!!!
<Ire> Sergeant.
<Dahok> Thanks...*looks at Archon* So how bout those donuts?
* Unoria goes up the stairs and returns to Firebird's room. "Hey sweetie. Decided to wake up huh?"
<Unoria> NRP: Yep!
* Archon throws the box, he's been eating out of into Dahok's lap. "There's your donuts."
<Dahok> NRP: *shudders*
<Firebird> <If a bit violently...> *yawns and stands up, and throws the sheets back on his bed*
* Dahok toss's them into the garbage
<Dahok> Thanks.
* Unoria holds out a coffee, black, and hands it to Firebird. "You wake up just like I do... On the floor!"
* Dahok leans back in the couch and yawns
<Ire> Newscaster: This just in! It seems someone is attacking the police forces around McCabe's HQ. We're unsure of the details, but it seems someone, probably from the 5th Column, is taking out the police units one by one, heading straight for McCabe's office
* Dahok shudders
* Ire blinks, glancing at the holovid.
<Dahok> ....Woh..
<Firebird> *sips it* <Thanks.>
* Ire glances at his comm. begins to buzz.
<Unoria> No problem! *leans over in attempts to recieve a kiss*
* Ire picks it up and hears a message, probably being sent to all units on base
* Firebird kisses Unoria, then sets down his coffee and goes to grab clothes
<Ire> All available units, proceed to McCabe Offices immediately. Repeat, back up is needed at McCabe Offices.
<Unoria> ... Who needs clothes when you have me here! *smirks*
<Firebird> *listens up* <...I think you just got your answer.>
<Ire> This is serious if they're ocntacting us.
[SOUND]
<Firebird> <This is serious if they're contacting us. Let's get going, hmm?>
<Dahok> ....*flips back wards and off the couch, landing on his feet* Let's go.
* Ire stands up, grabbing his weapons and holstering them,.
* Firebird grabs his clothes and quickly puts them on, then grabs his guns and sheathes them, then slips on his claws
<Unoria> Damn! Damn Ire with his horrid timing. OH well, we have later on anyway! *giggles and puts her belt on, with her Katanas hanging from them* Yep, lets go!
* Archon does likewise and jumps forward.
* Firebird heads downstairs
* Unoria grabs Firebird's hand and goes along with him.
* Ire runs out the front door, literally leaping down the steps. Already vans are being pulled up all over the base. Other officers are scrambling into their assigned vans.
<Firebird> <About time we saw some actual action here.>
* Ire runs up to his van door, opens it and yanks out the teeange driver, leaving him behind on the groud. He jumps into the seat, powering it up.
* Stark follows.
<Unoria> Promise to keep me protected? I can't always handle my own...*pauses* I really shouldn't admit stuff like that.
* Dahok sprints out the door and leaps down the stairs and runs towards the van
* Unoria runs after Dahok and into the van.
* Archon is at full-sprint.
<Ire> It has to be the 5th Column for them to be going down so easily. *sets up a radio to listen to the other officers screaming out confused orders and what not*
* Dahok takes the passenger seat
<Firebird> <That's what I'm here for, Unie.> *grins*
<Dahok> I thought we took them out?
<Ire> Hardly.
* Unoria slides into the van and grabs the far back seat
<Dahok> Bah..
* Ire begins to reverse the van at a high speed through the yard, almost running people over.
* Ire twirls the wheel, sending the van screeching in a half-circle to face the exit and drives out onto the streets.
* Archon cracks his neck and readies himself.
<Archon> So who are these guys we're fighting here?
* Ire eyes the traffic jam.
<Ire> I don't know. No one's said who it is on the radio yet.
* Ire begins to take the back alleys at high speed, knocking aside trashcans.
* Stark rests his hands on the pommel of his walking stick, sitting in stride with Ire's driving.
* Unoria bounces her legs up and down nervously... wondering how bad things are going to look as they arrive.
* Ire takes a sharp left, heading down another alley. A cat leaps straight up and lands on the window, eyeing Stark,.
<Ire> ... *uses the windshield wipers to scrape the cat off*
* Archon sees Unoria's nervousness and is surprised.
<Dahok> Score...
<Unoria> ...Eeew.
* Firebird sighs, sitting next to Unoria
<Firebird> <Want to drive a little more carefully?>
<Dahok> We don't have time to drive carefully Firebird.
* Unoria puts her hand into Firebird's and grips it tightly.
<Firebird> <Shove it.>
* Archon thinks to himself 'One day i'm going to hurt that man.'
* Ire pulls out onto a busy street. Again, his side of the road is blocked off. So he takes the clear side --- into oncoming traffic.
* Stark looks at Ire, shrugging as though he has no idea.
* Ire avoids an oncoming flying semi-truck, using a ground-vehicle.
<Genie> NRP: Cats everywhere. O.o
* Archon eyes his sword.
* Ire notices that two cars - in both lanes - are coming his way. He's forced to jerk the van into a side alley, throwing everyone off balance.
* Unoria rubs the back of her neck as sweat begins to bead on her temples.
<Ire> Radio: Dear God NOoo--*radio crackles*
* Dahok slides into the passenger door
<Dahok> .....
<Dahok> Whoever it is, he's ruthless..
* Ire sees a fence ahead --- blocking them from the road that leads to McCabe's.
* Ire hits the the gas.
* Dahok looks over at Ire
* Archon falls into a tumble.
<Firebird> <Thank you, Mr. Obvious.>
<Unoria> Yah know, we can't protect people if we fucking die on the way there.
<Ire> GM: *the van rams the fence, tearing it down, but sending the van leaping up in the air and coming back down with a nice thunk*
* Dahok smiles
<Archon> With this traffic, we would almost get there faster if we went by foot.
<Dahok> You don't know Ire's driving then.
* Unoria bites her nails nervously... and she never bites her nails.
* Ire throws them out into the street and stops. Laying before them is around 4 dozen cops laying on the ground. Some are moving, twitching, holding their legs. Others are not moving. A group of police officers stand off to the side, watching something ahead that is unable to be made out here*
<Ire> We're here.
<Firebird> <Brutal...>
* Ire opens the door, stepping out of the van to eye the cops laying around. That's when he realizes that none of them look to be dead.
* Archon lets a tear loose.
<Unoria> .... Jesus.... *looks away*
<Ire> ...no fatalities?
* Dahok leaps through his door
* Firebird steps out
<Firebird> <Come on, Unie...>
<Dahok> ....Maybe he's not as bad...*begins sprinting towards the guy*
* Unoria reluctantly follows Firebird, still grasping his hand.
* Ire steps around an officer holding his arm, whining painfully.
* Ire grabs Dahok's arm, then points at the group of officers.
<Ire> Lets find out the situation.
* Dahok jerks to a halt
<Dahok> But we need to stop him!
<Ire> Officers: *see back up as arrived* Over here!
* Archon goes forward to Ire.
<Ire> GM: *the man up ahead can barely be seen. He seems to be a brown blur. And he seems to be fighting a huge black robot*
<Firebird> <And you're not going to be able to do it alone. Looked around lately?>
<Ire> OFficer 1: Don't worry. He's fighting one of the new McCabe robotic assassins. That thing has the power of 50 men.
*** X1-Away is now known as X1
<Dahok> ....*watches carefully at the person and the Robot*
* Stark steps out, observing the action.
<Firebird> <Hrm. Power and skill are two different things entirely, you know.>
<Ire> GM: *the brown blur is circling the robot. It's obvious his hair is red and the brown coat is big*
* Unoria pulls out a katana from her belt, and holds it high.. "Can't be too safe...."
<Ire> Officer 2: Don't get to close. Let the robot take the bastard out.
* Archon pulls out his blade and looks at it gyrate back and forth, as if the sword itself were ready to take a piece of this guy.
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, the man attacks. He doesn't seem to be using any weapons. Suddenly, there's a flash and the robot falls over, sparking*
<Dahok> Holy shit...
<Ire> Officer 1: Oh my God..he's...he's the devil.
<Unoria> What the fuck!
<Firebird> <Told you.>
<Ire> OFficer 2: N-No one can stop him.
<Ire> ... come on.
* Ire begins to walk towards the man, who's now headed for the front door of the McCabe Building.
* Dahok follows behind Ire
<Genie> NRP: Nothing can stop Torg!
* Archon rushes forward,crimson in his eyes. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
* Stark 's glasses slip down his nose a bit... "Mojo..."
* Firebird glances at Unoria, then shakes his head with a smirk and heads after Ire
<Unoria> .. Do we HAVE to get close to THAT *points*
<Unoria> ... guess so. *follows Firebird*
<Ire> *The man pauses, his back to the group. He's already at the front door and the robot is between him and the group. His red hair, short and messy, blows in the wind briefly. The brown coat looks dirty, as if it's been in the wastelands for a while. His jeans are also dirty and his boots seem to be worn out. His head turns slightly, a pair of glasses reflecting the sunlight*
* Archon is sprinting at full-speed, his sword back in its sheath.
<Ire> Robot: *suddenly stands back up, facing the group* Destroy.
<Ire> Man: ... it seems you have your own problems to worry about. *he turns to enter*
<Ire> ...!
* Dahok turns to the robot
[SOUND]
<Firebird> <...Yeah, that's a bad sign.>
<Ire> Robot: *advances on the group, raising it's arms*
<Unoria> Whoa.... *hides slightly behind Firebird*
<Dahok> ....*concentrates and two vines shoot out of the ground below the Robot and each grab one of the robot's arms
<Ire> Robot: *raises the arms, breaking them easily*
<Ire> ...everyone, back up!
<Dahok> Yipe..
* Ire pulls out his handguns.
* Firebird draws his guns and, holding them in a perpendicular pattern, fires at the robot while backing up
* Archon presses down on his bracer power-pack, sending out an eMI pulse.
<Ire> Robot: *Takes a step forward, it's right arm glowing*
<Ire> Robot: *keeps advancing, seemingly unphased*
* Unoria pulls out her other katana and readies herself in her fighting stance
<Ire> Man: ... *turns to watch*
* Archon pulls out his sword.
<Firebird> <This could be bad.> *continues firing*
* Unoria pulls back quickly, not leaving her stance what-so-ever.
<Ire> Robot: *suddenly launches it's fist at Unoria in order to crush her entirely. Then, suddenly, as the fist is swinging, the man runs, flips over the robot, turns and holds out his right hand, the robot's fist impacting and sliding him back, his boots digging into the ground. The impact the hand makes is a loud BOOM*
* Dahok darts forward towards the robot
<Stark> It already is bad.
<Ire> !
* Archon jumps right at the robot, and lunges his sword into the robot if possible, releasing a plasma burst.
<Ire> Man: *stands there, straining against the robot's hand*
[SOUND]
<Unoria> NRP: That hit the GUY right?
<Ire> NRP: Yeah. He blocked the fist with his right hand.
* Stark stands in awe.
<Ire> Robot: *knocks ARchon aside, taking away most his life*
<Unoria> Okay, that was too close for comfort.... *slides back a few more meters.
* Dahok charges his gauntlets with chi and leaps towards the robot, swinging his right fist towards it, chi trailing behnd him
<Ire> Man: *strains, then pushes the robot's arm away, sending the robot off-balance. On his back is a sword sheathe. Reachign up with his free left hand, he grabs the sword, and leaps in an upperslash.
<Ire> Man: *lands back on the ground, the robot falling in two pieces and exploding*
<Ire> !
* Ire eyes the ease.
* Dahok stands on the ground and stairs
* Ire eyes the ease of the man's attack.
* Archon picks himself up.
<Dahok> NRP: stares..
* Stark stakes a step back.
<Ire> Man: *sheathes the blade, turning to face the group. He uses one finger to push up the glasses on his nose.
<Ire> ...no way...
* Unoria drops her katanas to the ground as she rubs her hands furiously.. She then blasts (lvl.2) at Archon.
<Ire> NRP: That's a heal.
* Firebird sticks close to Unoria, still firing
* Firebird spins his guns and shoves them into their holsters, nearly dropping them as he stares at the man
<Firebird> <...Nice...>
<Unoria> NRP: Whoops, forgot to say taht, didn't I> :P
* Ire aims his weapons at the man.
<Ire> Thanks for the safe, but you're still not going any further.
* Dahok turns to the man and slides into his fighting stance
<Ire> NRP: Save. My God, I'm tired.
* Unoria crouches down and picks up her katanas.. She stays crouched and looks up at the man.
<Ire> Man: *smiles slightly*
* Archon twirls his sword ina circular motion, aided by its gyros.
<Ire> Man: You can't stop me. You know it.
<Unoria> You think so huh?
<Dahok> Don't think so highly of your strength.
<Ire> Man: *the man eyes Unoria through his glasses, his eyes flashing with admiration*
<Archon> At this point, I don't really care what I can or can't do. You're still going to pay for what you've done.
<Ire> You're under arrest for attacking police officers. You can do this the easy way or the hard way...
<Firebird> *to Unoria* <Careful, Unie, he means business...>
<Unoria> What the hell are you looking at? *she rises from her crouched position as she speaks*
<Ire> Man: You. *smiles warmly, then pauses and grabs his right hand* Oooowwww.
<Ire> Man: *begins to blow on it*
* Unoria looks to Firebird. "I'll be fine."
<Ire> ....What...?
* Unoria eyes the mans irregular behaviour.. "Uuuum??"
<Ire> Man: *shakes his right hand, making faces*
* Dahok doesn't drop his stance
<Archon> Calling in the hounds eh?
<Unoria> You want to take a closer loook??
<Ire> Man: *reaches into his pocket and puts on two brown gloves* I keep forgetting these...
* Firebird blinks
<Unoria> For someone so strong, your not very bright.
<Ire> Man: I hear that a lot from my wives.
<Dahok> Who are you?
<Ire> Man: *eyes Dahok through his glasses* Snipe. You can call me Snipe.
<Unoria> .... WiveS? You sick fuck.
* Stark steps forward once. "I've heard of you."
<Firebird> .oO{...Where have I heard that name...?}
<Genie> NRP: SNIPE! ^.^
*** Snipe has joined #Taw
<Dahok> Snipe.....Your names familiar..
* Snipe teardrops, eyeing Unoria
<Snipe> Oh, come on....I had no choice.
<Ire> I don't care who he is. Dahok, handcuff him.
<Firebird> <...You didn't have a choice to...> *coughs*
<Unoria> You had no choice? You just were forced to marry a shit load of women?!
* Dahok starts walking towards Ire
<Snipe> ...well, yeah..
<Dahok> NRP: Snipe
*** Gemm`` has joined #TAW
<Unoria> Yeah, alright buddy. What the fuck ever.
* Snipe rubs the back of his head.
*** Gemm`` has left #TAW
* Stark makes no move towards Snipe, a bit unnerved.
<Snipe> Geeze. You're just as mean as Eve.
<Unoria> I don't know what they see in you.
<Firebird> <Strong, but with issues. Sounds like the typical case we get sicced on...>
<Unoria> ... Who's Eve?
* Dahok walks upto Snipe and pulls out his cuffs
* Snipe suddenly loses his humorous look and eyes Dahok.
<Snipe> I wouldn't do that if I were you.
<Dahok> ......
* Unoria slides slowly closer to Snipe, getting a better view.
* Dahok looks over at Ire
* Unoria looks Snipe up and down.
* Snipe seems to be in his late thirties. By standards, he's pretty good looking.
<Ire> Do it.
* Ire keeps his weapons trained.
<Archon> Ire, if this is who he says it is, it must not have been the 5th column.
* Snipe adjusts his glasses again.
<Unoria> You're nothing compared to my man. *raises a brow at Snipe*
* Dahok straightens up and reaches to put the cuffs on
* Archon cringes.
* Snipe eyes Unoria, then reaches out, grabs Dahok, and twists him around so that Dahok is in a headlock.
<Dahok> ACK!!!
<Snipe> Back off. All of you.

* Dahok rolls on the ground
* Snipe slides to the right, the plasma shots missing.
<Firebird> <...What are you plotting, anyway?>
<Snipe> ...alright. I don't have time for you jokers.
* Archon grabs Dahok and helps him to his feet.
* Dahok push's himself up and dust's himself off
* Snipe turns around, looking angry.
<Stark> Unoria, if hisotry stands right, You don't stand a chance.

<Ire> TAW3 Boss #4: Snipe

* Dahok shakes Archon off
<Firebird> {Tch...}
* Snipe leaps over the blasts.
* Dahok lets out a howl
* Snipe lands in a crouched position. He reaches into his coat and aims two handguns at Ire. Both stand there, eyeing the other.
* Unoria runs towards Snipe and slides to the ground, as she does so she slashes at Snipe's legs with both katanas.
<Snipe> ..
* Archon raises a plasma defensive shield from his sword in response.

<Unoria> What girl?
<Firebird> What gi-thank you, Unie...

<Unoria> No problem.
<Snipe> Whoaaa! *slides into a fence*
* Dahok winds up ontop of Snipe

<Stark> He's been out of our league from the start.
* Dahok stands up
<Dahok> Floor.....34
* Unoria stands up and walks a few steps back. She sends another healing blast to Ire (lvl.2).

<Dahok> I heard him say Floor 34
<Ire> Then...we better get moving.

* Ire aims his handguns at Snip.
* Unoria walks through the masses of unconscious guards.
<Ire> Freeze!
<Firebird> *stands straight* <That's not going to work, you know.>
* Snipe turns his head to look at them, pushing up his glasses.
<Snipe> You guys are persistant.
* Unoria pulls her katanas from her belt. "I agree Firebird."
<Archon> Will you please just explain yourself.
<Snipe> I'm here for my daughter. Plain and simple.
* Stark glares at Archon as if he's an idiot.
* Snipe turns back to the keypad, entering more combinations. IT's obivously useless.
<Ire> Step away from the door, Snipe.
<Ire> Or we will fire.
<Snipe> ...blasted keypad...
<Archon> Lt., you're only going to get yourself killed.
* Snipe puts an ear to the door, tapping it. He's not listening, obviously.
* Dahok leans up against the hallway wall
* Ire fires once at Snipe's head.

<Snipe> A lot.
* Snipe turns back to the door.
* Snipe releases Unoria.
* Unoria goes to jab Snipe in the back
<Firebird> <Unie, pull back!>
* Snipe takes the jab, grimacing in pain. He ignores it and grabs the steel door, straining, even as his blood runs down the blade.
<Dahok> ....Ire..maybe we can use him to get info for our original mission.
* Archon grabs a beer out of his bag, obviously there's not much to do.
* Unoria steps back slowly.
<Ire> ...we'll question him later. Behind bars, Dahok.
* Ire fires, hitting Snipe clear in the back.
<Snipe> Grrr!
* Snipe grimaces in pain again, still straining against the steel door.
<Ire> He's endangered this city by injuring most of our officers.
<Dahok> He atleast hasn't killed anyone.
<Ire> Now directly. But imagine a city where 1/4th of the police are out of commission.
<Ire> Imagine how many deaths you'll be responsible for, Snipe.
<Ire> (Not)
* Snipe keeps straining, the steel door cracking.
* Unoria aims her katanas at Snipe. not letting any move go unnoticed.
<Ire> ...your..government...is corrupt anyway...
<Ire> NRP: Snipe said that.
* Snipe keeps straining
<Unoria> Well, we already knew that.
* Dahok starts to regain his breath
<Snipe> You think the Lunarians did away with Slasher? No. And I bet Tyler McCabe could care less.
* Snipe roars and breaks down the steel door, Michiru on the other side.
<Dahok> What do you mean!

* Snipe falls to one knee, trying to catch his breath.
<Snipe> ...I want you to get out of here now. I got... some business to take care of.
* Archon grabs his cuffs and places them on Snipe.
<Michiru> I'm leaving. *starts to head out*
<Ire> ...*doesn't move to stop her oddly*
<Archon> NRP:Better not mean her.

<Ire> You, stop.

* Michiru looks over to Dahok.
* Ire eyes Michiru
<Firebird> <Hey, whoa there...>
<Michiru> What is it? *keeps an open escape route, just in case*
<Ire> You're not leaving until I have my answers.
<Ire> What do you mean the Lunarians did not kill Slasher?
<Michiru> I don't even know the questions yet.
* Dahok grabs Michiru and puts her in a hold locking both her hands above her head, not putting her in any pain tho*
<Unoria> Fuckign smart ass.
<Unoria> (fucking also)
* Michiru does her best to dodge the hold.
<Snipe> GM: *she is caught, sadly*
<Snipe> ...it's always easiest..to hide the truth..behind something that is appealing.
* Snipe eyes the team
<Michiru> ... what do you want with me?
* Ire looks at Michiru
<Dahok> Collateral...
<Dahok> No harm'll be done...
<Ire> Why did you come here?
<Michiru> To find answers. Why else?
* Archon goes up to Dahok "I think you can let her go. It' a girl for Christ's sake."
<Ire> What answers?
* Dahok ignores Archon
<Ire> GM: *suddenly, the alarms begin to go off*
* Ire looks up, frowning
<Michiru> I...
<Ire> McCabe is probably sending an army down here.
<Dahok> ....
<Unoria> .. Why do gurls get special treatment? *eyes Archon*
<Michiru> We should leave.
* Dahok looks at her
<Dahok> Ire...
<Snipe> ...time's run out. *he stands up* I think that's it for today.
<Ire> We're not letting them go so easi----*suddenly 5 robot assassins pour into the hallway, blocking all their paths*
<Snipe> ...
<Michiru> You mind letting me go... too late...
<Dahok> .....*turns his head towards a robot*
[SOUND]

<Ire> Robots: Destroy all intruders.

* Firebird hits his forehead
<Dahok> Oh shit...

<Ire> ...you heard him. Go.
* Archon runns.
* Dahok runs towards the stairs, still holding Michiru

<Snipe> Remind me to hate you later.
<Dahok> *looks down at her and nods, letting her go
* Ire grunts,
<Ire> GM: *alarms keep ringing in the hallway as the team runs down it.*
* Michiru rushes down the stairs, not wanting to meet the robots.

<Dahok> Uh oh...
<Dahok> We could act like their in our custody...
* Snipe is still upstairs with Ire
<Michiru> Just, no headlocks, please?
<Firebird> NRP: Hey Dias, ever hear of a contraction?
* Unoria rubs her nose .. "That's not a bad idea."
<Dahok> NRP: Contraction? That like a conjuction?
<Firebird> <...But she's still supposed to be upstairs, which could cause serious problems for us.>
<Dahok> .....*pull's off his sweatshirt and hands it to Michiru* Put this on..
<Firebird> NRP: My favorite part of speech. ^^
* Michiru puts the sweatshirt on.
<Michiru> What's this supposed to do?
* Unoria raises a brow at Dahok. "Whatcha doin?"
<Dahok> Hopefully they won't recognize her..

<Unoria> ... You plan on putting a bunch of facepaint on her too?

<Michiru> Well, this works better than nothing...
<Ire> GM: *there's a loud explosion upstairs*
<Dahok> Nah...Your a member on our team..
<Dahok> ....*turns his head upstairs* Everyone outside now!
* Unoria pulls out of her pocket a compact mirrow and some makeup... "Here.... put some of this crap on."
* Michiru puts on the makeup, trying to look as unlike herself as possible, while still not looking stupid.
<Michiru> A distraction'd be nice, too...
<Unoria> NRP: <Homer> Whoops, I had it set on whore.
<Archon> Distraction you say?
<Unoria> ... Would flashing the guys work? *smirks at Firebird*
<Ire> GM: *outside, Colonel Roberts is seen approaching*
<Michiru> Something to make people pay less attention to us... or at least, to me.
* Firebird starts to say something, but stops as Unoria's suggestion
<Firebird> .oO{Ok, don't mention you were about to say that...}
<Dahok> ....*looks at Michiru* Your new on the team. Got it?

<Dahok> Sir.
<Ire> Colonel Roberts: ...I mean in this building! I hear you've been tearing this place up! And where's your Lt?!

<Ire> *from behind everyone* Here, sir.
* Ire is seen staggering forward, his clothes torn and ripped.
* Unoria steps back and lets Ire take the floor.
<Ire> Colonel Roberts: What were YOU doing upstairs, Lt. Carmichael.

<Dahok> Died in the explosion too..Sir.
<Firebird> NRP: <Firebird> Is right here. Wait, shit, can we start over?
<Ire> ...*eyes Dahok* Yes.
<Ire> NRP: LOL
<Dahok> A robot had shot and wounded her badly.
<Unoria> NRP: *snickers*
<Ire> Colonel Roberts: Hmmm...I suppose overlooking the damages...this was a job well done. Very well, then...Get out of here. We'll send teams upstairs later.

<Unoria> ...and about 3 packs of smokes.
<Dahok> ....*Shakes his head* How'd you two survive?
<Archon> Could you hand me a smoke, Pope?
<Pope> Get your own damn smokes!

* Archon jumps out.
* Unoria holds out her hand. "You know I'm up for it."
<Archon> Sure as all hell.

* Firebird does so, but winks as he does so
<Pope> Yeah, sure look fine there, mate.
* Archon goes to his motorcycle to head for Wildcat's.
* Unoria wraps her arms around Firebird tightly and kisses him passionately.
<Ire> I have several injures that will take time to heal. Your point?
* Ire moves into the lobby and sits down on the couch.
<Pope> My point is you need medical attention rather than tryin' to go Superman on us.
* Ire leans his head back, looking at the ceiling
* Firebird returns the kiss, but shakes his head
<Ire> I'll do it in the morning. I got some thinking to do.
* Dahok pulls his shirt off and walks over to a training dummy
<Firebird> <Beer now. Kinky sex later.> *grins*
* Dahok begins stretching side to side
* Unoria looks into Firebird's eyes. "Awww and I really wanted to test out my new whip now!... Oh well! Get off me so I can get changed."
<Pope> Yeah, like yer expetin' your wounds to magically disappear by the morning instead.
* Archon waits at his motorcycle for the rest of the gang to come out.
* Firebird stands up
* Ire grunts.
<Unoria> ... Should I dress up, or down? *winks*
* Pope takes a drag off his cigarette
<Firebird> <Go ahead and dress down. I have a feeling it won't last very long.> *winks with a smirk* <Come get me when you're ready, I need to change myself.>
<Pope> NRP: <GM> *Midnight rolls around...* <Archon> ...Guys?
<Unoria> Okie dokie baby!
<Unoria> NRP: *laughs*
* Firebird heads out and walks into his own room
* Dahok looks down at his bruised ribs
<Archon> NRP:Man, that was harsh, true, but harsh.
<Ire> He could have killed us all, Pope. And he didn't. Why?
<Pope> Probably toyin' with you.
* Unoria opens her closet and ponders what to wear... She picks out a short red halter dress with strappy red heals. She gets changed and puts some putty in her hair to spike it.
<Pope> 'Specially if he's unhinged in the ol' attic.
<Ire> ...his stupidity was just an act. I can feel it.
* Ire closes his eyes.
* Unoria sits on the side of her bed and buckles her shoes... She stands and examines herself in the mirror, and is satisfied.
* Firebird yawns and tosses his jacket onto the bed, then grabs a T-shirt proudly showing the lead characters of an anime series - Death Star, Blackjack, and Garland - and a pair of jeans, and changes
<Pope> Like I said, probably was playin' with you.
<Ire> NRP: ... okay, what is with you people and having TAW action figures, video games, and anime?!
<Pope> Strikin' fear into your heart an' all that.
<Firebird> NRP: Hey, I'd already brought up the anime in an earlier session. I'm free to do what I want with it. ^^
* Unoria grabs a matching purse from a drawer and steps outside of her room. She walks over and knocks on Firebird's door.
* Ire opens his eyes to slits
<Pope> NRP: <Pope> *rips open his jacket to reveal his "I LUV WIENDIGO" tattoo across his chest*
<Firebird> Just a minute.
* Unoria stands seductively as she waits for him to open the door.
<Ire> We'll meet again, Snipe...count on it.
<Ire> Session ENDS
<Dahok> SESSION!
<Unoria> SESSWAN!
*** Ire is now known as DeathStar
*** Pope is now known as X1
*** Unoria is now known as Caladua
<Caladua> ....
*** Caladua is now known as Caladia
* Firebird doesn't bother
<Caladia> Why? O.o
*** DeathStar changes topic to 'Session 26: - | http://thealienwars.tripod.com/TAW3/'
<DeathStar> ...what do you...mean...session?
<Firebird> Because I know we're probably - never mind.
<DeathStar> I gave you a 2 hour and 15 minutes session.
<Dahok> SESSION!
<Firebird> Because this nick's linked to Sherinmir, so it doesn't really matter. ^^
<Dahok> And we demand more of it!
*** Stark is now known as garland
<DeathStar> I got some questions for the TAW1-TAW3 members.
*** garland is now known as Garland
*** Gnorme has joined #TAW
<Dahok> Uhh....
<Caladia> ?
* Firebird hides behind Cally
* Caladia is hid behind!
<X1> No I haven't sessioned under the influence of marijuana
<DeathStar> Out of the 3 RPGs, which one do you feel on the strongest set of first 25 sessions?
<DeathStar> (had the)
<Dahok> I'd say TGC
* Caladia goes off to make popcorn
<X1> I'm omitted from this question, since I don't remember jackshit about the first 25 sessions of any Taws
<DeathStar> ...thank you, X1.
<Garland> Uh... Pie.
<Gnorme> mmmmm pie
<Garland> TAW.
<Firebird> TAW3's been too split to give an opinion, I'm biased against TAW1 since that was my first RPG ever, and I don't remember much about the beginning of TGC. There, I'm excluded.
*** Archon is now known as Novablade
<Firebird> Biased for, even.
<Garland> I like TAW!
<Gnorme> what about TAW2? was there a TAW2?
<DeathStar> So, 1 vote for TGC and 1 for TAW1?
<DeathStar> TGC was TAW2.
<X1> I already used the excluded card, get your own excuse!
<Gnorme> ahhh...
<Dahok> I'd say TGC was good...because of us leaving EArth
* Gnorme is Gemm, in a guise!
<DeathStar> Well, for reference, X1:
* Novablade falls down and hurts himself.
<DeathStar> The first 25 sessions of TAW were the entire Maverick/CorSec battles all the way up to the introduction of the Tsivrixsh and death of Sigma.
<DeathStar> The first 25 TGC sessions were the fights against the Mavericks all the way to the return of Xevil and escaping from Earth.
<X1> I'd have a toss up of TAW or Taw 3
<Dahok> Oooh...Xenosaga just brought to us a movie.
<DeathStar> Who do you feel is cooler: Garland or Stark?
<DeathStar> Or, who do you like more?
<X1> Me.
<Dahok> Garland cuz he did something. Stark just stands there
<X1> Starkland!
<DeathStar> Ow.
<Firebird> Garark!
<DeathStar> Also, out of Wiendigo, Grave, and Pope - who did you like the best?
<Michiru> Pope
<DeathStar> Out of Blackjack, Diamondback, and Firebird - who do you like the best?
<Dahok> Hmm..
<Garland> I had Stark be a background character because you guys were always getting annoyed at how I always had to be the big man. :P
<Garland> DB.
<Dahok> DB
<Dahok> I'd say....Wiendigo
<Firebird> Wien, and... well, from a characterization standpoint, BJ, from a "fun to play" standpoint DB.
<X1> BJ
<Dahok> You just picked BJ because it stands for something with sex
<DeathStar> LOL
<DeathStar> Out of Slasher, Dias, and Dahok - who do you like the best?
* X1 puts his hand on Dias' ass
<Firebird> And?
<X1> You bet, sweetheart.
<X1> Slasher
<Dahok> SCORE!
* Dahok shakes his rump
<Garland> DB has to do with sex too, ya know.
<Dahok> Which version of Slasher are we talking about
<DeathStar> Just the character in general
<Firebird> You know, Cardinal's my first TAW character, including minor characters, that can't be abbreviated (logically) to two letters...
<Dahok> Ahh..
<Gnorme> umm...Anal?
<DeathStar> Out of Death Star, Snipe, and Ire - who do you like the besT?
<Firebird> ...Does that look like two letters to you?
<X1> Toss up of DS/Snipe
<Gnorme> yes well <b>I</b> found it funny.
<Dahok> Toss up of DS and Snipe
<Dahok> Only one person voted on my characters...*is hurt*
<X1> HY
<DeathStar> Only 2 voted on mine!
<X1> Hwenira Yshidhan
<X1> HAH
<Dahok> You atleast got two...*cries*
<X1> I win!
<Dahok> See he wins!! *cries*
<Dahok> And you forgot about to toss in X1 and X2
<DeathStar> General Question: Do you like TAW3's pace or do you want to see the main plot begin to pick up speed?
* Firebird blasts X1 to next Tuesday
<X1> I like the pace, but I think we need more action-oriented sessions
<Dahok> It's pace4
<DeathStar> Who would you like to see guest star next from TAW or TGC?
<X1> Me.
<Firebird> Blackjack! Despite being dead.
<DeathStar> ...I see...
<X1> Fera!
<X1> Despite also being dead!
<Novablade> From what I've seen I like the pace of the Alt. sessions, but I'd like to see Alliance seshs pick up speed.
<Firebird> ...You already HAVE, Jack...
<DeathStar> Which team would you like to see more of - Alt or Alliance?
<X1> I think we need to make the Alliance sessions a little more serious
<Novablade> I'd like to see Diamondback.
<X1> Alliance
<Garland> I'd like more consequencial sessions. Not so much main plot stuff, just things that have real consequences we'll have to deal with.
<Firebird> The TCT crew should cameo!
<Novablade> Alliance.
<Dahok> We need to see Chad and Aya!
<X1> ...Who?
<DeathStar> His kids
<Novablade> Wouldn't we have to have TCT sessions for that Sher?
<Firebird> Diamondback should cameo, and do more than give false leads and screwy information.
<X1> HAH
<DeathStar> But...DB did that so well in Session 4!
<DeathStar> How many sessions do you think should be devoted to the next Alliance story arc?
<Novablade> Hm..how about a nice long arc of about 6.
<Garland> 2
<DeathStar> I have ...2 and...6
<Dahok> 0.2
<DeathStar> .....0.2...?
<Dahok> I'd say 4-5ish
<X1> 20.
<DeathStar> Okay. I will now take the mean of all your numbers.
<Dahok> I think Seraphna should show up! *smiles sadistically*
<Garland> Yeah, just a guest appearance. :P
<X1> NAR
* X1 lunges at Dias
<DeathStar> 8 sessions.
<Dahok> AHHHH!!!!
<X1> Cut it down to like, 4 or 5
<Firebird> Poor Cardinal.
* DeathStar blames, naturally, Chris for the sessions not being serious
<Dahok> But we must destroy her taint!
* DeathStar looks at Session 26, wondering what to put there.
<Garland> Pie
<X1> Isn't that another Vile session?
<Dahok> SESSION?
<DeathStar> If he's not here, I got to bump his session back,.
<DeathStar> If there's a demand for one.
<DeathStar> But I don't see one.
<Gnorme> Pie indeed!
<Dahok> Oooh..I just saw a commercial for XenoSaga
<Dahok> SESSION!!
<DeathStar> Well, there's one!
* Dahok gets ready to play XenoSaga
<Firebird> Doesn't look like you get your wish, Dias.
<DeathStar> Only ONE vote.
* Dahok sniffles
* X1 jives
