<DeathStar> Session 265: 48 Hours
<DeathStar> Time Chart: June 5th, 2224. 7:30 P.M.
<DeathStar> Location: Mega City
<DeathStar> Narrator: It ended like a typical day, but unknown to us, it wouldn't stay that way for long. Before 48 hours passed, all hell was going to break loose. It all began when President Wind's building received a late evening letter...one that no one really paid attention to at first
* Wind has joined #taw
* Wind is up in his office in the President Building doing paperwork, despite the time of day.
* Colephantus is currently sitting in an empty Warehouse, surrounded by 3 guys, in his hand is a pretty old guitar and a mic is currently in front of his face. The three guys all have instrunments and Cole is participating in his first ever practice with the guys.
<DeathStar> <Man> Ready to make some music? 6He asks Cole, glancing over at him.
* Colephantus looks around and nods. "You know....I don't know any of your names..."
<DeathStar> <Man> Just call me Leo. That's Don. And that over there is Ralph. 6The other two men raise their hands in greeting.
* Colephantus nods and shifts to his right leg. "So...what type of riff you looking for? A slow ballad or a shit face rock fest?"
<DeathStar> <Leo> Just set the tone and we'll follow you.
* Colephantus rubs his chin, and turns around looking down at his guitar and searching his feelings....he strums and slides his fingers down the frets making a whining noise, then he pulls it into a steady rock tone, at about moderate speed.
<DeathStar> 6* The other three wait a minute, then begin to pick up on the tone with their instruments.
* Colephantus looks around while playing and nods a bit...noticing that everything sounds about right. He glances down at his guitar and then stops playing.
<DeathStar> 6* The other three come to a stop. They all nod their heads as they look among each other.
<Colephantus> Would you guys like for me to just show a bit of what I can do...cause that wasn't too exciting.
<DeathStar> <Leo> Definitely. Show us what you can do.
<DeathStar> 6* The others pause as Cole does nothing.
<DeathStar> <Leo> Cole? 6He waves his hand back and forth
* Colephantus nods and searches himself for the right set to start up with. He slides his fingers toward the top of the fretboard. He begins to strum quite quickly movign his hand repeatedly from string to string, thus causing a haunting tune. Then he slides his fingers, makign a whine and beings to play one of the meanest solo's possible.
<DeathStar> 6* The other band members just listen and evaluate Cole. After his disturbing lapse of time, it seemed as if he might not begin - but everything seems okayn ow
<Colephantus> Hmmm. WIth more time I can do better....
<DeathStar> <Leo> You have some real talent there, Cole. You should go professional.
<DeathStar> 6* Leo pauses, studying Cole, who seems to have tuned out again
* Alicia has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Alicia
* Colephantus looks at them. 'I thought thats what we were going to do..."
<DeathStar> <Leo> Well, we had to make sure you had the right style. And we all think you definitely have it. I think the four of us can go places.
<Colephantus> Of course. Look. I think I need to lie down. I'll talk to you all in a little bit.
* Colephantus walks off to find a place to rest.
<DeathStar> 6* The three men walk out of the warehouse to get some dinner, since it's almost dark in Mega City now.
* Wind shoves his paper work aside, pausing to get some coffee. He stands in the President Building, looking down at the city below him.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe stands outside on his porch, outside the Mega City city limits, looking at the twilight as the sun sets.
<DeathStar> 6* Then Snipe sits down on the swing, rocking back and forth
<Alicia> <Hotaru> It seems almost strange... after everything we've done..
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe glances toward the sound of Hotaru's voice, not having heard her approach. He smiles, barely making her features out in the darkness now. "What seems so strange?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *walks onto the porch* The quiet life.. I keep expecting something to happen, to pull us out of retirement again.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Oh, anything could pull us out of retirement. 6He glances up at the stars in the sky. "There will never be an end to fighting. And there will never be an end to crisises. There will be wars and there will be galactic adventures out there as long as we live and beyond. But... the thing about retirement is you have to know when you're going to step aside and let others carry the torch."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> We've earned that much.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Definitely. Which is why I'm content to sit here on my porch swing and relax. Sure, there might come a time when I think I'm needed to do something - and do it I will - but for the most part, I know that there are others out there who can do it.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I think that's the best way.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe leans back, crossing his fingers together behind his head as he looks at Hotaru. "Yes. There's not much point in defending the world if you can't have time for your family."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> You know, a while back, I'd never have expected you to say that.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *smiles* It's great that we finally can.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe nods his head, his face showing he knows exactly what she means. He looks back up at the stars in the sky. "Yeah. I guess I didn't know what I had right here - all I wanted to do was have another adventure. I guess .... even though the Galactic War was a trying time and my life wasn't exactly drama free.... it was the happiest time of my life. Being on the Fury...with everyone...it was just ... it was special."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I know what you mean.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> But I see now ... all the specialness is right here, too.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> The whole world can be special, if you let it.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> It really can. 6He smiles as he looks up. "Did you imagine when the war ended back in 2207 that we'd be here right now? Doing this?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> Back then... I couldn't have believed it if you'd told me.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I'm glad it happened. I'm glad I got a second chance at life to do all of this.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> Me too.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe swings back and forth, looking at Hotaru with an angled head. He smiles, rubbing the back of his head.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> So. I'm thinking about going back to college.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *half-jokingly* To study, or to teach?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Actually, yeah, to study a little. I'm thinking about becoming a history professor one day in the future. What do you think?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I think you'd do great.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> Hmmm... maybe I could teach medicine. Or biology.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Biology? I haven't heard about you doing any such things like that since the war.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> It slipped my mind.. but I think it would be good for me to start up again. Almost like.. accepting everything that happened.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Everything that happened? 6He repeats, studying her.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I put it on hold to fight, all that time ago.. but now, the fighting's over, and it's time to move on.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Well, good for you. I think it would be a great thing to do - to get a profession. I can't imagine standing around this house all day can be much fun.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I could teach, or I could practise.. I'm not sure which is best. Though.. someone will have to look after the kids.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Michiru's almost seventeen. She and Em could definitely look after Andrea while you and I pursue careers. And, if Em and Michiru decide to get jobs, too, then we can afford to hire someone to babysit. Maybe Aya.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> Mmm.. are you still going to teach Andrea to fight?
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I was pretty surprised when you decided to.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe laughs as he swings back and forth. "Yeah. I never spent the time I should have with Michiru - I don't want to make the same mistake again with Andrea. I'm just lucky Michiru turned out as good as she did with my screwing up. I guess she has you to thank for that."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *smiles* Well, I'm sure the time you did spend helped a lot
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe pauses, then leans forward as if he's being confidential about something. "Have you noticed that she leaves a lot at night? Do you think she has a boyfriend?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> I wouldn't be surprised.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> She does disappear a lot.
<Colephantus> NRP: *COle POses at the talk of a Boyfriend*
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Hmmm. I wonder who it could be.... 6He taps the side of his face as he considers.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *smiles, seeming a little amused*
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Oh well. I did that kind of stuff when I was young, too, I suppose. Frankly, I'm proud - it means she's growing up and becoming a social butterfly.
<DeathStar> *log purposes - Snipe/Hotaru scene being moved to #snipe'sfunkypad
<DeathStar> 6* The three men return to the warehouse, having finished their meal.
* Colephantus wakes up from an old dusty couch, having gotten about an hours sleep. He makes his way back to the warehouse and sits down beside the guitare bestowed to him by the other members. He glances over it, pulls up a pick. He closes his eyes and begins to think of Blue. Quickly his figners begin to move and get to work. It sounds as if the guitar is almost crying, Cole is so wrapped up in the guitar that he doesn't even realize the ot
<Colephantus> n realize the other guys have returned.
<DeathStar> 6* The three band members stand there, listening to Cole play his song.
* Colephantus is runnign through the emotions in his head, his eyes are closed and his ear is propped downward to listen to himself. The thought of being alone drags the sound of the guitar to a low, melancholy sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Harry, the homeless bum, sits outside the warehouse and cries as he hears the sad music.
* Colephantus pulls his fingers down the bottom string, the guitar erupts in a loud whine and Cole begins to play very aggressively, apparently his saddness for Blue has changed into anger for her leaving him. The music coming from the guitar is the type that makes you want to break stuff.
<DeathStar> 6* Harry, the homeless bum, sits outside the warehouse and breaks his bottle in a rage.
* Colephantus stops mid-verse and looks down at the ground. Sitting in Silence.
<DeathStar> <Leo> That was really powerful, man.
* Colephantus blinks and looks up. "Oh....I thought I was alone..."
<DeathStar> <Leo> We just finished eating dinner and came back to see when you'd like to schedule another practice session.
<Colephantus> Why don't we just continue now?
<DeathStar> <Leo> We'd love to, but it's late and we have things we need to do. What about tomorrow?
<Colephantus> Sure. I'll hang around and put some lyric and some riffs on paper to give you guys some stuff to go by tomorrow. Cool?
<DeathStar> <Leo> Sounds great. When would you like to meet tomorrow?
<Colephantus> Hmmm. Same time as today?
<DeathStar> <Leo> Alright. We'll see you about 7 tomorrow evening. 6They wave, walking out and leaving him the guitar.
* Wind finishes with his paper work. He stands up and begins to walk out of his office when he notices an unaddressed letter.
* Colephantus watches them leave and closes his eyes once more. Trying to find a spot in his heart that would cause him a just type of emotion. It all falls back onto the event of him first losing Kat. He begins to play, recounting through the entire situation, the battle with Theos, and the coming of Atheos. As Cole's emotions increase, so does his aggressivness. When suddenly he sees Kat lying before him, lifeless. His guitar becomes an out
<Colephantus> r becomes an outlet for mourning, something he hadn't done...ever. All of the emotions from the past few months begin to poor out of him, through his guitar, it makes it sound as if the world is mourning.
<DeathStar> 6* Harry, the homeless bum, sits outside the warehouse and mourns his broken bottle
* Wind grabs the letter and begins to open it. His eyes widen, then he hurries off to do Presidential business.
* Colephantus opens his eyes, he can't see anything because his eyes are full of water. As tears flow from his eyes, Cole can only lean over and let the come. Months of anguish are finally coming to a head.

<DeathStar> <Police Officer> No, good citizen! We're merely keeping an eye out for suspicious characters by order of President Wind
* Colephantus rubs the back of his head.
<Colephantus> So could I pass by? I'm pretty tired...and I don't really have a place to stay....I have been staying at Building 38....

<Slasher> I'm Ex-President Slasher...
<DeathStar> <Officer> I didn't vote for you.
* Chad opens his mouth, bubbles popping out, he dives to the ground and punches the dirt, sending it up into the air, he then pushes off to the side.
* Slasher smacks his forehead. 1"Fine whatever, I know there was an explosion and I heard Wind got caught in it. Just tell me if he's alright."

* Colephantus is walking down the steet, his hands in his pockets, he had just left band practice and he was wondering what else he can do before going to sleep again.
<DeathStar> <Secretary> Oh, President Slasher. President Wind's out on an important assignment right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Actually, the band never met - Cole was suppose to meet them at 7, and when he didn't show on time, they left a note and went away.
<Slasher> There was a explosion at someone's house, and the news said that he might have been in it. Have you heard anything?
* Chad` steps up onto his porch and upto his back door, he begins knocking on it.
<DeathStar> <Secretary> President Wind went to investigate a man's house, yes - with the police. He's suppose to be back in a few minutes if you like to wait.
<Slasher> Do me a big favor, call the police and check on him. I tried going down there but I have no pull with rookies.
* Colephantus makes his way up onto a random roof and looks out over a city. He crosses his arms and lets the gently breeze pass by him.
<DeathStar> 6* The secretary nods, then walks over and picks up the phone. She dials a number, then begins to talk with the police chief.
* Slasher crosses his arms, drumming his fingers.
* Chad` scratches the back of his head and knocks on the door again.
<DeathStar> 6* The secretary hangs up the phone, turning back to Slasher. "They said the President's fine. He's on his way here now."
* Slasher lets out a sigh of relief. 1"Thanks Rose."
* Wind steps off the elevator just then, his suit in ruins. He pauses, glancing at Slasher, then walks over to him.
<Wind> Right on time.
* Slasher turns on a dime. 1"Looks like you had some fun. Now fill me in on the situation."
<Wind> Of course. 6He opens the door to his office, glancing at Rose. "Rose, I want you to leave the city for 24 hours - take that trip to London that you wanted to make. The money's all set up for you."
* Slasher eyes Wind, beginning to pull things together, he walks into Wind's office.
* DeathStar closes the door behind him and walks over to his desk, sitting down. He tosses an opened letter to Slasher.
* Slasher catches it, he splits it open and pulls out the enclosed letter and begins to read it.
<Chad`> JOHN?! *he yells out as he peeks through a window*
<DeathStar> 6* The letter reads - "Dear Mega City Government, I have planted a bomb of IMMENSE power in the city. I will detonate it in 48 hours and destroy the entire city!"
<Wind> I got that 24 hours and 30 mins ago.
<Slasher> Cute. No demands have been sent?
* Colephantus hops over the side of the building and lands into an alley below, he begins to walk down the street finally deciding to go thank Wind for the suggestion for the band.
<Wind> No. We managed to find out who wrote it thanks to a thumb print. That's where we were right now. He seems to be some ex-cop - discharged for mental disorders. He was a bomb experiment - which was evident when he rigged his house to explode. His name is John Baker.
<Wind> Quite frankly, I've been searching this entire city - warehouses, government buildings, schools - nothing. I can't finish having my police officers search the city for this bomb.
<Slasher> Not without alerting the city to the threat.
<Wind> Yes. Which is what I fear I'll have to do. We can't possibly evacuate the city in less than 24 hours, but I don't have a lot of choice at this point.
<Slasher> What can he gain from this tho...
* Wind shrugs, leaning back in his seat.
* Colephantus steps up to the stairs that lead to the doors to the presidential office. He places his hands into his pockets and begins to step of the steps, reaching out to the door to open it.
* Slasher begins thinking deeply.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard there holds out his hand to Cole as he approaches the front door. "Can I help you?"
<Alicia> <Michiru> *heads over to Chad's window* Dad's out right now..
<Alicia> <Michiru> Maybe I can help, though?
<Colephantus> I just stopped by to thank President Wind for something he did for me...
<Wind> I should talk to the police force and get them ready to evacuate the city.
<DeathStar> <Guard> It's late. 6He glances up at the sun setting and twilight setting in. "Come back during the day."
<Colephantus> ...I wont be but 5 minutes.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Come back tomorrow. It's after office hours.
* Chad` snaps out of it and looks over to Michiru. 1"I don't know about it...You're kind of a girl.
<Slasher> That'd be best.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Well, of course I am. Is there a problem with that?
* Slasher pulls out his datapad and boots up a map of Mega City.
* Wind stands up. He picks up a phone and calls the police department. He begins to talk in a low voice, standing by the open window and looking out the window.
<Chad`> Well yeah...You're not John!
<Colephantus> ....Fine.
<Slasher> Have you scanned the city yet?
* Colephantus turns and walks off.
<Alicia> <Michiru> So, you don't think I'm up to it?
<Wind> Scanners aren't picking up anything. 6He says to Slasher during a break with his phone conversation.
<Chad`> Well not really...*he begins to scuff his feet*
<DeathStar> 6* The guard watches Cole walk off, then goes back to standing there.
* Slasher sets his datapad on Wind's desk and the city of MegaCity floats above it. 1"Point to the spots you've searched.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... well, Dad isn't here, so I'm all you've got.
* Wind walks over and touches government buildings, then touches school, then warehouses. He turns back to the window, still talking.
<Chad`> I don't know...Maybe I'll just go train at home.
* Slasher looks as the spots light up.
* Colephantus continues to walk down the street. Not having much of anything to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Police cars race by Cole.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... you're giving up, then? Is that it?
* Colephantus perks up whenever the cars go by and begins to follow them as quickly as he can.
<Chad`> Well it's obvious I can't train here if I ain't gotta sparring partner.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You could spar with me, you know.
<DeathStar> 6* The police cars speed to a bar where, the officers get out and begin to break up a bar fight.
<Chad`> But you don't know how to fight!
* Wind hangs up, then looks at Slasher.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... where did you get that idea?
<Wind> Well, time for a press report, I suppose. I'll go down to the news center
* Colephantus watches them break up the fight as sighs. He was hoping it woudl be a bit more exciting than that.
<Chad`> Well it's obvious you're no Lunar Girl.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *blinks, then laughs*
<DeathStar> 6* A drunk bumps into Cole, then stumbles away.
<Chad`> What?!
<DeathStar> 6* The police break up the fight, then walk back to their cars.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Oh, nothing.
* Colephantus just lets him stumble away. Signing and sticking his hands into his pockets he begins to walk back down the street.
<Wind> I'll teleport over, I suppose. Save time. 6He begins to concentrate.
<Alicia> <Michiru> But.. do you really only spar with people who can kick your ass?
<Slasher> ...Have you searched the sewers?
<Wind> I don't have the manpower right now.
<Slasher> That's where the most devastation can be done...
<Wind> Yes. But also the least possible area to search.
<Wind> You could spend 4 days down there before you map half the sewers.
* Slasher taps his Datapad the sewers glowing.
<DeathStar> 6* A hooker tries to get Cole's attention with a smile.
<Wind> I really need to go. I'll be back. 6He teleports.
<Chad`> HEY! She only won because she went all psychic on me!
* Colephantus glances at her but keeps walking. "I'm broke honey." Is the only thing he says as he passes her.
<DeathStar> 6* Juan sighs as Cole leaves.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Yeah, right. Seems to me that things were pretty much equal up until that point.
<Chad`> I was going easy on her because she was a girl.
* Slasher nods as he begins studying the layout of the city, he taps on his datapad causing power plants to glow.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Didn't look that way to me.
<Chad`> See! You obviously don't understand fighting if you didn't realize I was holding back my power.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Looks more like you're just bitter over losing.
* Colephantus looks up at the moon(If there is on) And he wonders where Kat is.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Kat is not on the moon*
<DeathStar> 6* A tiny speck can be seen passing the moon - perhaps something orbitting Earth
<Chad`> If she didn't cheat by using those psychic powers I would've won!
<DeathStar> 6* The HoloVids begin to display an important message on them - stating that President Wind is about to make a statement.
<Alicia> <Michiru> That wasn't cheating. The judge was allowing special abilities.
<Colephantus> Hmmm I wonder what that is...maybe it is a ship...or a sattelitte....*Cole mumbles to himself, then he stops as he passes by a holo-vid in a store window and waits to see what Wind is about to say.*
* Wind appears on the holovid, clearing his throat as he looks straight ahead into the camera.
<Slasher> What could he get from this...
<Wind> Right now Mega City is in a state of emergency. The city's in danger from terrorist threat and right now we request that the citizens of Mega City begin to leave the city in an orderly fashion until further notice. The neighboring city of Vesperton will accomodate everyone leaving. If you have friends or family outside the city, it's advised you go see them.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Did you hear that?
* Chad` sticks his tongue out at Michiru and starts to walk away.
<Wind> Police officals will stand by to help this process go by smoothly. If you need information, feel free to consult with the nearest police officer near you for further instruction. Thank you. 6He walks off and the message ends. The news reporters begin to debate what the threat could be.
* Colephantus begins to walk back for the presidential office quickly.
* Slasher strums his fingers, waiting for Wind to come back.
* Wind reappears in the office in his chair, sitting next to Slasher as if he were always there.
<Slasher> Did anything enter MegaCity recently of value?
<Wind> No.
<Wind> I have a city wide alert for Baker right now. We need to locate him if we have any hope of finding this bomb.
* Colephantus comes back up to the guards once again. "I need to talk to Wind..."
<DeathStar> <Guard> ... 6Looks annoyed. "Look, I already told you to beat it."
<Slasher> Then this is has to be a purely revenge thing.
<Wind> For being discharged from the police service?
* Slasher begins rubbing his temples as thoughts begin to pour through his head.
<Colephantus> I want to help him with this crisis.....Look can you just call up and ask him? It would save time.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Look, the President is in a meeting and has asked not to be disturbed.
<Colephantus> .............
<Slasher> It's possible...It's just that, unless this is all a decoy for him to get something he wants, maybe money or something...
<Wind> I think it's for pleasure.
* Colephantus signs and then closes his eyes, He dissappears.
* Chad` hops off the porch and begins to walk towards the woods.
<Slasher> What's the nearest sewer access from Baker's house?
* Colephantus would appear right outside of Wind's office. He steps over to the door and knocks on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms go off and security systems target Colephantus.
* Wind jerks his head up at the door
<Wind> Someone's invaded the building.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *sighs, and heads after Chad*
* Slasher jerks his head towards the door.
* Colephantus sighs. "I can't catch a fucking break."
<DeathStar> 6* The security guns begin to fire at Cole.
<Slasher> ...Did you just hear that?
<Wind> Not over the gun shots!
<Slasher> Turn the security system off.
* Wind stands up and hurries over to the door. He presses against the wall, reaching out toward the door slowly.
* Colephantus dives over the secretaries desk and crawls under it.
<Wind> I forgot the override code.
* Slasher smacks his forehead. 1"You bonehead!"
<DeathStar> 6* The guns begin to blast the desk apart, sending paperwork flying.
* Wind opens the door and looks out, seeing the guns shooting the desk.
<Colephantus> .....
* Slasher slides over to Wind and looks out into the secretarys office.
<Chad`> Why are you following me?
<Wind> Why is it shooting my secretary's desk?
* Colephantus glances up to see how much of the desk is left.
<DeathStar> 6* The desk is pretty chewed up now - it's very "holy"
<Slasher> Because obviously, you're intruder is hiding there!
<Wind> Right. It could be Baker.
<Slasher> He couldn't have made it this far.
* Colephantus jerks up turning on his electric shield, he lifts and throws the desk out of his way.
* Slasher watches the desk get thrown and see's Cole
* Wind watches the desk get thrown across the room.
<DeathStar> 6* The guns shoot at his shield, trying to peg him.
<Colephantus> .....*he sees Wind and Slasher* Mind turning those off?
* Slasher stands there, stunned at this.
* Wind just stares, then shrugs.
* Chad` enters the woods, walking towards Slasher and Cheryl's house.
<Colephantus> .........
* Wind taps his comm, trying to reach security.
<Chad`> You better stay here Michiru, I'd hate to see you get hurt.
* Colephantus keeps his shield up. Since Wind is taking forever.
* Wind begins to talk into his comm.
<DeathStar> 6* The security guns begin to charge up for a super attack.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You're not going to just stay here training, are you?
<Chad`> NOPE! *he slows to a stop and begins stretching*
* Colephantus kneels down a bit. Ready to jump whenever they fire.
<DeathStar> 6* The security guns turn red as they prepare to fire.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *breathes a sigh of relief*
<DeathStar> 6* The guns then shut off.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Stay safe, Chad
* Wind pockets the comm., eyeing Cole with a look of annoyance, surprise, and curiosity.
* Colephantus sighs and drops his shield. "Yeah....Sorry about that."
<Alicia> <Michiru> Hey... you have any idea exactly what's going on?
<Colephantus> I wanted to help...and your guards were assholes...and I didn't think about an anti-telporting weapons system...which makes perfect sense now..."
<Chad`> What do you mean?
* Wind shakes his head, walking back over to his chair.
<Wind> You never change, Cole.
* Chad` starts stretching from side to side, he pulls his shirt of his head, revealing his well-chiseled 14 year old body and wraps it around his waist.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Well... I want to help find the bomb, where-ever it is..
* Colephantus sighs. "I tried...didn't work out..." He looks at Slasher who is still standing there and arches a brow, rubbing his nose..."What?"
<DeathStar> NRP: Wind never mentioned it was a bomb.
<Chad`> What bomb?
<Slasher> I can't believe you're still this dumb!
<Alicia> NRP: Oops
<Colephantus> What did you think? I'd magically sprout brains? Puh-lease...Anyway..*He begins to step into Wind's office* Whats going on?
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... well, whatever it is, it's a problem, and I want to help solve it
<Slasher> Well...yeah.
<Chad`> But you're just a girl.
<Wind> This isn't exactly your line of work anymore, Cole. You should leave the city.
* Slasher looks at Wind, an idea popping in his head. 1"Unless of course you really want to help."
<Colephantus> You know just as much as anyone that this is my line of work. Just because I don't have some piece of medal on my shirt doesn't mean I'm not able to help.
<Alicia> <Michiru> ... what's that supposed to mean?
<Chad`> You'll just get hurt.
* Wind glances at Slasher.
<Slasher> There's a good chance the bomb and bomber might be hiding out in the sewers and we could use someone to start searching.
<Alicia> <Michiru> So... I can't help because I have breasts? What sort of excuse is that?
<Wind> I'll send my officers to look through the sewers.
<Colephantus> I spent a good 3/4's of the War in the sewers Wind.
<Wind> Listen, Cole. You want out of this business. I heard you at the tournament.
* Chad` turns around, eyeing Michiru up and down, he stops his gaze on her boobs. 1"Well you do have a pair of boobs...But...not because of that."
<Colephantus> You seriously think you don't need my help?
<Alicia> <Michiru> Then what?
<Wind> I seriously think so.
<Chad`> You're not trained for it...duh.
<Slasher> Star, we can use all the help we can get, one person might make the difference.
<Alicia> <Michiru> And you have?
<Wind> One person in a city this size won't make a difference. Especially someone like Cole. I don't want him near a bomb.
<Colephantus> .....And what if it turns out you need my help? What if I could have saved Mega City? You really want to take that chance?
<Slasher> Well we wouldn't let him touch the bomb. Just comm the bomb squad if he finds it or Baker.
<Wind> I've seen Cole's track record. He wouldn't have to touch the bomb to activate it. It would have trip wires or some sort and he'd trip them.
<Colephantus> ....Right talk about me like i'm not fucking standing in front of you.
<Slasher> Well what if we sent him after Baker then?
<Colephantus> Fine. When this city blows up. It'll be your ass. Not mine.
<Wind> Fine. He can find Baker.
* Colephantus turns and begins to walk then stops. "Point me in the right direction."
<Wind> Pick one.
<Colephantus> Any leads?
<Wind> No.
* Colephantus rubs his chin.
<Colephantus> Do you have his file?
* Garland has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Wind> I'll give you a copy of his picture. The police chief has the file. 6He slides a picture of Baker to Cole - average man, average build, average looks.
* Colephantus nods. "I'll see what I can do."
* Colephantus walks out. As he passes by the guards he waves to them. And continues on down the street.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I just want to do whatever I can.
* Wind shakes his head after Cole leaves.
<Chad`> Can't help ya Michi, and it'd be best if you stayed home.
* Chad` he turns and starts running through the woods.
<Alicia> <Michiru> *sighs, and heads back home for now*
<Slasher> I'm going to head back to my lab and do some research on what kind of bomb we might run into.
<Wind> Alright. 6He sits there, shuffling through files.
<Slasher> Do me a favor and send me over Baker's file, maybe I can run across something.
<Wind> Will do.
* Slasher phases out of existence
* Slasher is now known as Slasher-Away
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe drives up into his yard, whistling. He turns off the car and hops out of the car, walking into his house.
<Alicia> <Michiru> Dad! You didn't see Wind's announcement, did you?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> What announcement?
<Alicia> <Michiru> There's some sort of terrorist threat or something. Wind wants people to evacuate to Vesperton.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Huh. Good thing we leave outside the city limits. 6He whistles as he sits down in his chair.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I just hope Wind can handle it.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I'm sure he can. He's Wind.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I guess he's handled a lot worse.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Sure has. He once fought a giant, 100 foot cyclops.
<Alicia> <Michiru> What, really?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Sure.
<Alicia> <Michiru> When was that?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> During the Galactic War.
<Alicia> <Michiru> .. wow.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> It was pretty amazing.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I can imagine.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Real messy, too.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You really need to write a book about that.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Eh. Wind's boring.
<Alicia> <Michiru> I'm sure the entire galactic war isn't.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ....hmmm. Pretty much is.
<Alicia> <Michiru> You're serious?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Yeah. We pretty much sat on a ship all day and played cards.
<Alicia> <Michiru> While fighting giant cyclopses.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Yeah. There was that.
* Colephantus finally makes it to the Police District. :)
* Colephantus heads for the Main HQ of the police district.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards stop Cole before he can enter the district.
<DeathStar> <Guard> No citizens allowed.
<Colephantus> I'm assisting Wind in the hunt for Baker. I need to get his files from the police chief. I even have this nifty picture to help me out. *holds it up*
<DeathStar> <Guard> We have received no word about you assistance.
<Colephantus> Damnit. Why do all of you have to be so difficult. I'm trying to help.
<DeathStar> <Guard> ... Right. For all I know, you could be a terrorist.
<Colephantus> Right. And I'm walking up to the Gate instead of sneaking in...look pal I'm stupid...but i'm not that stupid
<DeathStar> <Guard> That's nice. Now, move along.
<DeathStar> 6The guard motions for him to leave.
<Colephantus> I don't even know why I fucking bother....*Cole Turns and walks off*
<DeathStar> 6* The guards whisper something between each other and then laugh.
* Colephantus makes his way for the cloests bar.
<DeathStar> 6* The bar looks as full as ever, despite the call to leave the city.
* Colephantus walks up to the bartender and holds up the picture. "You ever seen this fella?"
<DeathStar> <Bartender> 'fraid not. 6He says as he wipes the counter.
* Colephantus nods, "Thanks." *he moves from table to table, showing the picture and asking the drunken patrons the same question.
<DeathStar> 6* Most of the drunks flip off Cole, annoyed at him bothering them. Others take their time and tell Cole they know nothing.
* Colephantus tells those that were nice thanks and ignores the more ruder drunks. He exits and then begins to make his way to another bar he has visited...a few blocks down.
<DeathStar> 6* This bar looks a little less crowded than the last, but still surprisingly full when the city should be fleeing for their lives.
* Colephantus moves over to the bartender, showing the picture and askign him.
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Never seen him. 6He hurriedly moves off to pour some drinks for two hot lesbians.
* Colephantus does the same to each of these patrons as well.
<DeathStar> 6* The same mixed results as last time occur.
* Colephantus sighs and steps back out into the streets.
<DeathStar> 6* The streets are crowded as traffic is backing up as people try to leave the city.
* Colephantus walks through the streets, his eyes are on constant watch, locking onto each person he passes to make sure they do not resemble Baker.
<DeathStar> 6* No one looks like Baker. But a familiar redhead woman can be seen exiting a movie theater and walking to a parking lot.
* Colephantus pickens up his step to catch up.
<DeathStar> 6* As Cole enters the parking lot, it's crowded with people walking to their cars.
* Colephantus moves back and forth, trying to catch up to who he thinks is Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina can be seen going through her purse a few paces ahead, obviously looking for keys.
* Colephantus closes the gap between himself and Kat. "Hey Stranger."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up, shock on her face before it melts into warm recognition. "Hey, Cole!" 6She gives him a quick, friendly hug.
* Colephantus smiles and receives the hug. Then his face turns suddenly serious. "Didn't you hear the news?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, Dad called me while I was in the theater. He told me it would be okay to finish the movie if I left immediately for the house after I was done.
* Colephantus nods. "Good Good. I just wanted to make sure you knew what was going on. I'm going to go. Baker could be anywhere and I got little time left."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you going to be okay alone? 6She pauses, looking concerned.
* Colephantus nods. "Of course. I got pretty used to it during the war." He chuckles, dissmissing any chance for her to want to come with him.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay. Becareful, Cole. 6She pulls out her keys, turning to unlock the car door.
* Colephantus wraps his arms around to hug her, incase he never gets to again. "If I go...I want to be happy." he says quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, glancing back at Cole in surprise. She smiles at him softly and pats him on the back. "Everything will be fine."
* Colephantus nods. "I know. You better hurry." He turns and begins to walk back down the street.
<DeathStar> 6* The streets look even more unfriendly this type of night, the rougher crowd startign to come out while the good folks run for their lives.
* Colephantus now attempts to find out any info by showing the picture to anyone willing to spare him the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone ignores Cole now.
* Colephantus sighs and continues to walk down the street, keeping a watchful eye out for anyone suspicious.
<DeathStar> 6* A few gang members walk past Cole, making loud noises and scaring citizens
* Colephantus doesn't show any fear and continues to walk past them.
<DeathStar> 6* The gang members walk on in the opposite direction, bothering people as they go about
* Colephantus continues his search.
* Colephantus is now known as Chris|Sleep

* Alicia|Sleep is now known as Alicia
* Alicia is now known as Lunar`Girl
<DeathStar> 6* The city is in chaos as people try to hurry out of the city. Cars are lined up as far as the eye can see as people try to get out of the city.
* Lunar`Girl searches for Wind, to get more details
* Lunar`Girl heads towards Wind's presidential office
<DeathStar> 6* Some people eye Lunar Girl as she hurries past them, yelling at her that she's going the wrong way to leave the city.
<Lunar`Girl> I have to find Wind!
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl reaches the presidential building, she would find it oddly lacking in protection - as if everyone on duty this time of day has been dismissed.
* Lunar`Girl heads inside, hoping that Wind, at least, is there
<Lunar`Girl> President Wind?
* Garland has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* The lobby area is deserted and there seems to be no sign of anyone. According to a chart on the wall, Wind's office is on the top floor.
* Lunar`Girl rushes up to the top floor!
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl arrives on the top floor, after traveling a decent amount of stairs, she would find Wind's office at the end of the hallway. His secretary's desk looks like it's been shot to pieces by something
* Lunar`Girl quickly looks for any sort of note that would indicate where Wind's gone
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be no notes among the ruined secetary's desk. His office door, though, is closed and would have to be opened to see inside his office.
* Lunar`Girl opens the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind's office is a neat mess, if that's possible. He seems to have reports and files scattered on a table where chairs are pulled up at.
* Lunar`Girl quickly looks over the reports
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be files on Baker there, notes about where they might find Baker, and finally the last note written mentions seeing the police chief on a possible lead on Baker.
* Lunar`Girl reads the last note
* Lunar`Girl then heads off to find the police chief
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl begins to travel to the police district, she would notice looters have begun to ransack empty stores.
<Lunar`Girl> Hey, stop that!
<DeathStar> 6* The looters pause, then turn to eye the girl in a masked costume. They begin to laugh among themselves and one muscled goon begins to walk over. "And what are you suppose to be? A hooker with a theme?"
<Lunar`Girl> I'm Lunar Girl, and if you don't stop, I'm going to kick your asses!
<Lunar`Girl> Not that it'll matter much when the bomb I'm supposed to find goes off...
<DeathStar> <Looter> ... bomb?
<Lunar`Girl> Didn't you hear? Some lunatic set a bomb in the city! You should be getting out of here!
<DeathStar> 6* The looters pause, as if unsure whether they should believe Lunar Girl or not. Three of them nervously glance around, while the supposedly leader puts on a brave face. "Then why are YOU here?"
<Lunar`Girl> I'm trying to find it!
* Slasher-Away is now known as Slasher
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(I almost wish those creeps would get blown up, but that would destroy the city...)
<DeathStar> 6* The other three men finally run off and without his crew, the leader glares and hurries off after them.
* Lunar`Girl sees them run off, and continues her search
* Slasher scretches as he looks up from his computer screen in his lab, information rolls down the HoloScreen as he stares at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl arrives at the police district, where guards are set up at the entrance. They don't look friendly - and the wall surrounding the district itself is about 10 feet tall.
<Lunar`Girl> I need to speak to the police chief. I want to help look for the bomb.
* Lunar`Girl just hopes that'll be enough
<DeathStar> <Guard> ... 6He looks down at her. "What are you? Some 13 year in a mask looking for halloween candy?"
<Lunar`Girl> ... no... I'm Lunar Girl...
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(I don't know which is worse, being called a hooker or a little girl...)
<DeathStar> <Guard> Right, Lunar Girl...look, honey, I don't have any candy. 6His partner pauses, then begins to talk rapidly. <Guard 2> Hey, wait Joe! I've seen this Lunar Girl on TV! She's a real super hero. <Guard> Wow, you don't say?
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(How did I get mistaken for a 13 year old, anyway?)
<DeathStar> <Guard 2> We should let her in. I bet she can fly and bend steel and shit. <Guard> Oh, would you listen to yourself. 6He turns his back to Lunar Girl, not even paying attention to her or his guard duty.
<Lunar`Girl> ... *hovers in the air*
* Lunar`Girl pauses, the flies over the guards, sighing
* Slasher reaches down to his counter and picks up his comm, he clicks it on
<DeathStar> <Guard 2> Look, a super hero can do this stuff. <Guard> They can not! There are no such things as super heros. <Guard 2> Prove it!
<Slasher> Comm: Star, how's things going on your end?
* Lunar`Girl heads in, sighing
<DeathStar> 6* The comm is quiet - no static, just quiet.
<Slasher> Comm: Star you there buddy?
<DeathStar> 6* The comm is quiet - no static, just quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl would see about 60 buildings in the district - the first one being the chief's building.
* Lunar`Girl heads for that one, then!
<DeathStar> 6* When Lunar Girl arrives, he would find a receptionist at a desk working calls and dispatching officers.
* Slasher clicks the comm off and pockets it as he stands up, he hurriedly walks over to one of his cabinets and opens it rummaging for something.
<Lunar`Girl> I need to speak to the chief. I want to help find the bomb.
<DeathStar> <Receptionist> The police chief is out with the President right now. They've found the terrorist who set the bomb.
<Lunar`Girl> Really? Where are they?
* Slasher grabs onto several orbs and a tool pouch, he walks over to one of his work stations and begins to calibrate the or bs for something.
<DeathStar> <Receptionist> They're here in one of the residential districts. 6She begins to write down the address, then hands Lunar Girl the piece of paper.
<Lunar`Girl> Thankyou very much. *takes the paper, then starts to head out* I'll be right there.
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl exits, the two guards are still standing there, debating whether or not superheroes exist.
* Lunar`Girl leaves the building, then flies back over the guards, hovering outside, a fair distance from the ground, pausing a second.
<Lunar`Girl> We do exist, by the way.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards look up at her.
* Lunar`Girl flies off in search of the address after a second.
* Slasher begins to hook up his datapad to it and finishes the calibrations.
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl flies over the city, she quickly manages to travel across the entire distance of the central district to the outer limits of the residential areas. She can see a mess of police cars down on the ground surrounding a building.
* Lunar`Girl flies down, heading in to see how Wind and the chief are getting on
<DeathStar> 6* The officers on the ground turn and aim their weapons at the incoming girl. They seem to be on the verge of firing when a voice shouts out to them
<Wind> Put down your weapons!
* Wind walks over, wearing a military vest over his tattered suit. He waves his hand down at the ground and the officers drop their weapons to their sides.
<Lunar`Girl> Maybe I was a little hasty..
<Wind> What are you doing here, Mic---Lunar Girl. 6He clears his throat, then shakes his head as he hides a smile.
<Lunar`Girl> Have you found any leads yet? I came to help look for the bomb.
<Wind> We found the man who planted the bomb - Baker. He's in this building, however, the entire building is fitted with trip wires that'll blow up the buildind and Baker, according to him. 6Baker's shouts for the cops to back away can be heard. "Which means I don't fancy teleporting into his house and setting off any explosives."
<Lunar`Girl> We'll have to get in somehow, though...
* Slasher reaches down grabbing a pair of goggles off a bench behind him and he tosses them on the workbench and begins working them.
<Lunar`Girl> Can we disarm the tripwires?
<Wind> Yes. 6He walks back over to the bomb squad, who seems to be debating how they want to proceed. Then he turns back to look at Lunar Girl. "I'm not exactly a bomb experiment, but...yes, you can get around the tripwires, but according to my experiments here, it could be time consuming. Best to avoid the wires all together."
* Lunar`Girl nods
<Lunar`Girl> So.. how do we get in without blowing ourselves, and the city, up?
<Wind> Well, we don't think the main bomb is here. This guy builds bombs for a living. No, these are just minor bombs in here. We need to interrogate Baker and find the real bomb.
* Slasher disconnects his datapad and tosses all his stuff into a backpack.
<Lunar`Girl> That makes sense.. how are things going?
<Wind> Bad. We don't have someone small enough to get in there without hittign the trip...wir..es.. 6He pauses, eyeing Lunar Girl suddenly.
* Wind smiles at her.
<Lunar`Girl> I get it. I can get in safely, and get the information out of him.
<Wind> Right. And your catgon form should be able to do it.
<Lunar`Girl> Okay. I'll be right on it. *changes to catgon form, and heads inside carefully*
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl slips inside, she would see a mess of tripwires all over the first floor of the building - and no sign of Baker. She could try to go through the living room, or go through the hallway.
* Slasher phases away
* Chad` steps out of the house again and onto the porch.
* Lunar`Girl tries the hallway
* Slasher reappears on the southern outskirts of the Industrial District, he looks around for awhile.
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl flies in, she would see a mess of wires. She would need to fly either over the wires, or crawl under them
<DeathStar> 6* Police officers can be seen checking out the industrial buildings.
* Lunar`Girl flies over the wires, being a little more comfortable with that
<DeathStar> 6* As she reaches the hallway, she can see bedrooms in the back - and stairs. Both are covered in tripwires.
* Lunar`Girl carefully heads up the stairs, guessing that the guy will be as far from the entrance as possible
<DeathStar> 6*The trip wires seem to form an upside down cross on the stairs.
<Lunar`Girl> (I can get through, though, can't I?)
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Oops. That was meant to be NRP, but it probably works as thought too
<DeathStar> (Yeah. You can fly over the bottom horizontal wire and close to the wall to pass the vertical wire)
* Wind gets tapped on his shoulder and he turns around to see Katrina standing there.
* Lunar`Girl flies over the horizontal wire, close to the wall
<Wind> Kat? I told you to go home.
<Wind> <Katrina> And leave you here alone in this city, Dad? Forget it. I'll leave before the bomb goes off, but you shouldn't be alone. 6She stands on her toes as she looks at the building. "What's going on here?"
<Wind> We found the man who set the bomb up. We're just waiting for Lunar Girl to get him out
* Slasher swings his backpack to his front and pulls out an orb and tosses it into the air, it hovers there for a second and then the sides of the orb pops open and begins to scan the area.
<Wind> <Katrina> Michiru's here? Is she okay? 6She glances at the building in concern.
<Wind> I hope so. I haven't heard an explosion yet, so that gives me hope.
* Lunar`Girl continues up the stairs to the top
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl arrives at the top, she would find a bedroom door open, but entire covered in tripwires. Movement can be heard inside.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: No way I can get through there without tripping a wire?
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah.
* Lunar`Girl peeks in, without moving the door
<DeathStar> 6* Baker paces back and forth. His window is covered in trip wires, too. He seems to be yanking out bits of his hair as he nervously paces.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(It's times like this that I wish I could breathe fire.)
<DeathStar> <Baker> Boom. Boom. 6He yanks out another chunk of his hair, then eyes it. He begins to curse himself for yanking out his hair as he sits on the bed.
<Lunar`Girl> Baker.
<DeathStar> <Baker> Aiee?! 6He leaps out. "You'll never take me alive!" 6He rushes at the window trip wires.
<Lunar`Girl> DON'T DO THAT!
* Lunar`Girl pushes Baker away from the window with telekinesis
<DeathStar> 6* Baker hits the bed.
<Lunar`Girl> You know you'll die if you do that, right?
<DeathStar> <Baker> I'll kill you all! BOOM! 6He struggles to get up and run at the window again.
* Lunar`Girl pushes Baker back again
<DeathStar> 6* Baker hits the bed again. He begins to talk about evil cats in a mumbling voice.
<Lunar`Girl> It doesn't have to be that way! Just tell me where the bomb is!
<DeathStar> <Baker> No! NOOOOO! 6He yanks out more hair.
* Wind glances at the time, shaking his head.
<Wind> 5 hours left.
<Lunar`Girl> What's so terrible that you're willing to turn yourself into chunky bits over?
<Slasher> *the orb finishes it's scan and drops to the ground bouncing* Let's see what we came across. *he walks over to it and picks it up with his one hand while he pulls out his datapad*
<DeathStar> <Baker> You'll go boom, too, kitty kitty...bomb goes the cat...no nine lives for YOU
<DeathStar> <Baker> Hee hee hee
<Lunar`Girl> I can teleport, and get out of here first. You can't.
* Slasher looks down at his datapad, a dumbfounded look on his face. 1"What the hell's blocking my scans..."
<DeathStar> <Baker> ... 6He crawls toward the trip wires on the door, eyeing Lunar Girl. "Bad kitty. No catnip for you! No no no!"
* Lunar`Girl pushes Baker back again
<DeathStar> 6* Baker hits the wall. He groans, rubbing his head. "My hair's gone..." 6He cries.
<Lunar`Girl> If you tell me where the bomb is, I can get you new hair.
<DeathStar> <Baker> Ooo. Ooo. Hair for bomb. Tit for tat. 6He leans forward, glancing around. "The bomb is in the CITY." 6He claps his hands.
<Lunar`Girl> That's... not enough..
<Lunar`Girl> I already knew that much. Where in the city?
* Slasher takes a step forward, phaseing out of reality again.
<DeathStar> <Baker> Hair now! Hair you promised. Give me hair! Hair now please. Quick now!
<Lunar`Girl> I can't give it you until you're out of the house...
* Slasher reappears ontop of a building about a mile deeper into the industrial section, he tosses up another orb and it begins to scan the area.
* Lunar`Girl tries to see if there are any tripwires inside the room
<DeathStar> 6* The room looks clear of trip wires, minus the door and windows.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: So I could teleport into the room?
<DeathStar> NRP: You could!
* Lunar`Girl teleports into the room, then
* Slasher catches the orb as it falls and checks his datapad, coming up with the same results.
<DeathStar> 6* Baker screams like a girl. "You cheat. Cheat cheat cheat. Bad kitty kitty. No litterbox for you1"
<Lunar`Girl> Oh, too bad. I got past your little traps.
<Slasher> Somethings wrong...*he phases away*
<DeathStar> 6* Baker tries to shove Lunar Girl into the wires.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Can I teleport out WITH baker?
<DeathStar> NRP: Probably, but it might drain your energy reserves.
* Lunar`Girl teleports out of the house with Baker, to where Wind is
* Wind turns to look at Lunar Girl appearing with Baker in hand. Katrina gives her a thumbs up.
* Chad` finishes stretching out and starts his jog through the same beaten path.
<Lunar`Girl> This is going to sound odd, but make sure you do something to give him his hair back.
<Wind> Good job, Lunar Girl. You get the key to the city. 6He motions for his officers to grab Baker and put him in a car.
<Wind> ....his hair....?
* Lunar`Girl changes back to human form
<Lunar`Girl> Yeah, he was pulling it out, and I used restoring it as a bargaining chip
<DeathStar> 6* The officers seem disappointed her clothes are still there.
* Wind nods slowly, shaking his head a bit. He walks over to the car Baker is in, glancing at the two of them
* Slasher reappears on a warehouse in the downtown district and tosses up another orb it starts scanning.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Well, at least SOMEONE doesn't think I look like a 13 year old.)
<Wind> We're going to take him back to the police district to interrogate him. You two can tag along if you want. 6* Katrina nods, getting into the police car.
<Lunar`Girl> Thankyou.
* Lunar`Girl gets in too.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Baker's house blows up and a mouse goes flying into the air. Everyone stares.
<Lunar`Girl> ... is that all the tripwires took...?
<Wind> Apparantly so. 6He says in awe.
* Lunar`Girl feels lucky that she's out.
<Slasher> *catches the orb and pulls out his datapad* Somethings up...*he reaches down to his comm and clicks it on*
<Slasher> Comm: Star you there?
* Wind pauses, feeling his comm. vibrate. He clicks it on.
<Wind> Yeah?
<DeathStar> 6* The police begin to speed back to the police district.
<Slasher> Comm: About damned time you answer you're comm.
<Wind> Hello to you to, golden eyes.
<DeathStar> <Baker> ... 6Sniffs on Lunar Girl's hair.
<Slasher> Comm: I was up in the industrial area scanning for materials and something strange came up.
<Lunar`Girl> ... just because you're getting your own back doesn't mean you can smell mine
* Lunar`Girl leans away
<Wind> The voodoo magic spell?
<Slasher> Comm: ...What?
<Wind> Yeah. The Cartel wanted me to get a voodo magic spell to counteract spells. I paid Stark to do it
<Lunar`Girl> ... voodoo magic spell...?
<Slasher> Comm: Yeah...That voodoo spell's blocking my scans and if Baker knew about that he might've used it to his advantage.
* Lunar`Girl shakes her head a little in disbelief
<Wind> Hm. You'd need to find Stark to counteract the spell.
<Slasher> Comm: Where was he last?
<Wind> He has a shack outside the city. But his home is in Louisana, if he decided to go back there.
<Slasher> Comm: You got the coordinates for his shack?
<Wind> Not in my memory. There should be a case file in my office with the exact location. Look in the file cabinent. The lock code is 4 spins, stop on 34, left 2 spins and stop on 9, then right one spin and stop on 45
<Wind> 6* The cars pull up into the police district.
<Slasher> Comm: Any luck with Baker?
* Wind gets out of the car while the cops haul out Baker, dragging him toward the first building. Katrina climbs out next.
<Wind> Yeah. We got Baker. We're going to begin interrogating, but he's a nutcase.
* Lunar`Girl gets out of the car too, nodding to Wind
<Slasher> <Comm> Good...Try to trick him into telling us what we need to know.
<Wind> Right. I'll offer him hair.
<Slasher> Comm: Uh....Ok...
<Wind> <Katrina> ... 6She touches her own red hair, then edges away from Baker.
<Wind> Good luck finding Stark.
<Slasher> Comm: Let me know if you come across anything new.
* Wind walks into the police district while the cops throw Baker into a room by himself. They shut the door. Wind walks around to a window, peering in at Baker, who can't see them.
<Wind> Will do.
* Slasher phases away
* Wind glances at Katrina and Michiru, then turns back to look through the window at BAker.
<Wind> This could take a while. And we still have no clue as to where the bomb is at.
<Wind> <Katrina> What can we do? 6She watches as an officer with a cup of coffee walks in and begins to interrogate Baker.
<DeathStar> <Officer> Do you want this coffee!? WHERE IS THE BOMB?!
* Slasher reappears infront of Presidential Office and sprints inside
<Wind> Hm. Why don't you two meet up with Slasher in my office. 6He puts a hand on Lunar Girl, closing his eyes as he recharges her energy. "You should have enough juice now to get yourself and Katrina over to him. You two keep an eye on him - Stark's an odd one and Slasher might piss him off if he finds him."
<Wind> .oO (Plus it'll keep you both out of the city in case this goes bad.)
<Lunar`Girl> Thankyou. We'll do our best.
* Slasher runs past the elevator and up into the stairwell, sprinting up it
<DeathStar> 6* Slasher can smell Lunarian in the stairwell.
<Wind> <Katrina> We won't let you down, Dad.
* Slasher sneezes, 1"I smell a wet cat...That can only mean one thing....
* Lunar`Girl heads off to follow Slasher
<Wind> 6* Katrina follows Lunar Girl.
<DeathStar> 6* 45 floors later, Slasher reaches the top and Lunar Girl/Katrina are near the Presidential Building now.
<Wind> 6* Katrina works on her breathing as they arrive outside the building.
* Slasher slides onto the floor, a little winded. 1"Why the hell did I run up the stairs..."
* Slasher sprints down the hall and into Wind's sectretaries office.
* Lunar`Girl takes a breather, then heads inside
<Wind> 6* Katrina follows Lunar Girl, bashing the button for the elevator. When it opens, she steps inside.
* Lunar`Girl steps inside too, and uses the time to catch her breath a little better
<Wind> 6* Katrina mashes the button and leans against the back of the elevator. "Well...I think I need to work out more...I feel like I've run all day."
<Lunar`Girl> You too..?
* Slasher runs through her office and into his, he slides over to the file cabinet and begins spinning it 4 times and stops on 34, he spins it to the left twice and stops on 9 then goes to the right once and stops it on 45, he tries to open it.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator dings loudly as it opens on the forty-fifth floor.
<DeathStar> 6* The cabinent opens and a list of names can be seen on folders. In alphabetical order.
* Lunar`Girl steps out, looking for Slasher
* Slasher strums through skipping to the S's and looking for Stark.
<Lunar`Girl> He'll probably be in Wind's office still.
<DeathStar> 6* Stark's folder is found.
* Lunar`Girl heads to the office
* Slasher pulls the folder out and opens it, looking through it.
<Wind> 6* Katrina nods, walking down the hallway and up behind Slasher. "Hello, Slasher."
<Slasher> GAH!!! *he jumps off his feet*
<Wind> 6* Katrina smiles, obviously enjoying that.
* Lunar`Girl smiles too
* Slasher stands upright. 1"You know...I felt like I've run all day too Kat."
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Been so long since I made Slasher freak out myself.)
<Wind> <Katrina> ... 6She sighs disappointedly.
* Slasher continues to go through his folder. 1"Hey I never knew Stark had a thing for China."
<Lunar`Girl> You heard that?
<Slasher> No I'm just a good guesser.
<Lunar`Girl> Well, it was pretty accurate.
<Wind> <Katrina> Isn't Stark the man who was on our ship for a while?
<Lunar`Girl> The creepy voodoo guy? I think I remember him..
<Slasher> Here we go...*he stops on the location of his shack* Aye. Quirky little voodoo witch.
<Slasher> *traces his finger along the paper* And his location for his house in Lousianna.
<Lunar`Girl> I'm guessing we're checking his house first?
<Slasher> No, Shack first it's the closest.
<Wind> <Katrina> Do we have to run there?
<Lunar`Girl> Where is his shack, anyway?
<Slasher> To the roof! *he points upwards as he clutches the folder*
<Slasher> Outside of town. Apparently the file says he enjoys the beautiful sun set.
<Wind> 6* Katrina pauses, finding his line after LG's to be weird. But he follows after him.
* Lunar`Girl starts for the roof, looking a little tired
<DeathStar> 6* Wind's private stairway to the roof can be seen in the corner.
* Slasher gleefully turns and heads to Wind's private stairway.
* Lunar`Girl follows Slasher
* Slasher runs up the stairs towards the roof!
* Chad` leaps into the pond as he reaches it and he starts his swim towards Snipe's place.
<DeathStar> 6* Once they arrive on the roof, they can see a fancy shuttle with Wind's name written on the side and Wind doing a thumbs up on it.
* Slasher looks at the shuttle. 1"A man after my own heart."
* Lunar`Girl smiles, seeing the shuttle
<Slasher> Alright Kat, you need to fly.
<Wind> <Katrina> But...I can't fly..
<Lunar`Girl> We do have a pilot, don't we?
<Slasher> There's a first time for everything. I want to learn all I can about Stark's fetishes.
<Lunar`Girl> I don't!
<Slasher> I hear he likes his girls young.
* Slasher he nudges LG.
<Slasher> ...FINE I'LL FLY THEN! *he storms onto the shuttle and takes the pilots seat*
<Wind> 6* Katrina glances at Lunar Girl, then makes a face picturing Stark wanting her bones.
* Lunar`Girl follows Slasher, a little warily
<Wind> 6* Katrina hops into the shuttle's back, finding a seat.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(As long as he doesn't have a cat fetish...)
* Slasher powers the shuttle up and lifts it off the roof.
* Garland is now known as Stark
* Chad` reaches the shore and trudges onto it.
* Slasher boosts the shuttle forward, heading towards Stark's Shack.
* Stark is now known as Stark^
* Stark^ looks over at Slasher from the co-pilot seat.
* Slasher stairs ahead as he flies, oblivious to the fact that Stark is somehow now sitting next to him in the co-pilots seat.
<Wind> 6* Katrina pauses, glancing forward at Stark in the co-pilot's seat, then at Lunar Girl.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(How did he get in here?)
* Lunar`Girl glances at Stark, then Kat
<Stark^> Why are we going to my home?
<Slasher> Because that's where we'll find you...DUH?! *he continues flying*
* Stark^ pushes his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
* Slasher sits there quiet for a while, wether he's just finally processing the data or not is hard to tell.
<Wind> <Katrina> Um, Slasher...Stark's already here.
* Lunar`Girl sits there, seemingly in shock
<Lunar`Girl> You... can teleport too...?
<Stark^> What did you want?
* Slasher turns back to face Kat. 1"Ok, if he was here, I would've noticed him...
<Wind> 6* Katrina just nervously smiles, leaning back in her seat.
* Slasher turns his head back to his side, seeing Stark. 1"GAHH!!!!"
* Stark^ looks at Slasher. "..." He looks back to Katrina. "I knew you'd be looking for me. It was in the bones." *shakes a bone necklace at her briefly*
* Lunar`Girl laughs nervously
<Slasher> ...
<Wind> 6* Katrina gives him an even bigger, nervous smile as she leans further back in her seat. "Lunar Girl's younger..."
* Slasher changes the direction towards the industrial section.
* Stark^ glances to Lunar`Girl "I don't swing that way."
* Lunar`Girl blinks
* Stark^ turns around in his seat.
<Slasher> I need you to drop you're voodoo spell in the Industrial Disctrict while I scan for a bomb.
<Stark^> Alright.
<Slasher> Let me know where you need to be to do it.
<Lunar`Girl> So... do we need to do anything, or is it done now?
<Stark^> Take me there.
* Lunar`Girl nods
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the shuttle's engines explode and voodoo cats leap out of the engines, hissing at Slasher as they perch on the wings.
<Slasher> We are there. *he says plainly as he points out to the Industrial District*
<Slasher> ...Ahh crap...
<Lunar`Girl> ... what the hell?
<Wind> <Katrina> Are those cats?
<Lunar`Girl> ... how did a cat get up here?
<Slasher> ...*tries to activate the backup boosters*
<DeathStar> 6* They make a hacking sound, like a hairball being coughed up.
<Slasher> And here I ignored my fortune cookie..
<Wind> <Katrina> Your fortune cookie? 6She asks nervously.
* Stark^ looks over at the cats.
<Slasher> Yeah...It said Beware of Voodoo Cats.
* Stark^ stands in teh shuttle, moving to the only open area. He does the electric bugaloo and chants.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to go down as Stark chants.
<Slasher> This is going to be a rough landing...*he struggles to keep the shuttle from nose diving*
<DeathStar> 6* The voodoo cats leap on the window and begin to hack up hairballs on the window. They appear to be dead Lunarian Cats come back for revenge.
<Wind> 6* Katrina grips the arm rests of her chair .
<Slasher> God damned weather...*he reaches down to turn the wiper blades on*
<DeathStar> 6* The hairballs get swished back and froth.
<Lunar`Girl> ... you know, these "kitties" are making me feel smart.
<DeathStar> 6* The windshield wipers hit the Lunarian Cats and they howl.
<Slasher> Are you done yet Stark?! *he plants his feet, pulling up hard on the controls*
<Wind> <Katrina> D-Do you think it's mating season for t-them?
<Slasher> God I hope not...
* Stark^ stops. "Oh, you wanted it done quickly..."
<Slasher> But then again, it's always mating season when it comes to Lunarians.
<Slasher> Well we are kind of rapidly falling towards the city!
* Stark^ pulls out a stuffed catgon and slams it against the floor. He stomps it once and it breaks into powder.
* Slasher has quit IRC (legend.esper.net cosmos.esper.net)
<DeathStar> NRP: He'S A LUNARIAN!
* Slasher has joined #taw
* Chad` walks upto Snipe's door and bangs on it.
<DeathStar> 6* The voodoo Lunarian cats howl again and turn to dust, floating away and revealing -- that Slasher is about to crash into the tower of an industrial plant.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe opens the door and eyes Chad.
<Slasher> Ahh shit...*he jerks the shuttle to the side of it*
<Chad`> HI! *he waves*
<DeathStar> <Snipe> .... You interrupted my favorite TV show, "Hot Lesbians in Space"....
<Chad`> But you have the entire collection!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> So?
<Chad`> ...Well you got me there.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle dips lower as the back up engines kick on, hairball free.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(I'm so glad that mom and mom aren't that bad...)
* Slasher lets out a sigh as he regains control of the shuttle.
<Wind> <Katrina> Is it safen ow?
<Slasher> Back-up Engines finally kicked on.
<Lunar`Girl> And now I see where the brainless slut stereotype comes from...
<Stark^> I need a new catgon fetish.
<Lunar`Girl> AHHHHH!!!!!!!
<Slasher> Alright...Stark, work your Satan worshiping skills.
* Stark^ looks down at the dust pile.
* Lunar`Girl spins to stare at Stark
<Lunar`Girl> You.. have a catgon fetish...?
* Stark^ blinks at Lunar`Girl
<Wind> 6* Katrina moves back one row..
* Stark^ shakes his head, "Wrong fetish."
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Pretend to be normal, pretend to be normal...)
<Lunar`Girl> ... oh...
<Chad`> Hey Snipe.
* Stark^ starts working on undoing the curse.
* Stark^ holds Sera's head by the hair as smoke comes out of it's eyes. He chants.
* Slasher turns back seeing the head of Sera. 1"AHHH!"
<Lunar`Girl> I... didn't want to see that...
* Lunar`Girl spins to face AWAY from Stark
* Slasher pants as he recovers his sanity. 1"Where in the hell did you find that accursed thing!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a face.
<Stark^> Well, I could have used her clone's head, but it wouldn't have been as effective.
<Lunar`Girl> It's doubly creepy for me...
<Slasher> .....But...if her body was on Lunarian...it burnt up...Gah my head hurts...
<DeathStar> 6* The spell begins to become undone.
<Slasher> Kat, ask your dad how the interrogation goes.
<Stark^> Hrm. Needs more power...
<Wind> 6* Katrina nods, pulling out her comm. She turns it on.
* Lunar`Girl breathes deeply, relaxing again
* Stark^ spins Justin's hand around on a string, chanting
<Slasher> ...*stares at Stark* But Wien threw that away in a garbage...
<Stark^> How else was I to get it from him?
* Lunar`Girl looks, warily
<Lunar`Girl> Is that...?
<DeathStar> 6* The hand wiggles at Lunar Girl.
* Stark^ beats the hand against the door, putting Garland's hair on him like a wig.
<Slasher> Stupid Witch Doctors!
<Wind> <Katrina> He says...they're getting nothing. 6She eyes Stark.
* Chad` waves his hand infront of Snipe's face who seems to have zone ou
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ..... Sorry, I'm mentally masturbating. What did you want?
<Chad`> Ewww...*he backs up*
<Slasher> Maybe the Witch Doctor here can talk to Baker.
* Stark^ blinks.
<Stark^> One more.
<Wind> 6* Katrina cringes.
* Stark^ throws DeatehStar's fingers on the floor, they fall in a smiley face pattern.
<Stark^> It is done!
<Lunar`Girl> Who's fingers are those...?
<DeathStar> 6* The spell is undone!
<Lunar`Girl> ... why am I even asking...?
* Lunar`Girl shivers a little
* Stark^ picks them up and bags them silently. "I found them. They are mine."
<Slasher> NIFTY!
<Lunar`Girl> I meant who did they used to belong to...
<Wind> 6* Katrina chooses to get sick and moves off to the side.
<Slasher> Hey Stark, how'd you like to help interogate someone...
<Lunar`Girl> But... maybe you shouldn't say...
* Lunar`Girl looks a little queasy herself
<DeathStar> 6* Justin's hand, wearing a wig, grabs LG's right boob.
<Slasher> There reploid fingers Michiru.
<Stark^> Alright.
<Lunar`Girl> OWW!! Dammit!
* Lunar`Girl pulls the hand off.
<Slasher> You can fly no doubt? *he looks over at Stark*
<Lunar`Girl> Must EVERYONE grab my boobs?
<Stark^> No.
<Slasher> Alright. *he reaches down into his backpack and pulls out two orbs and tosses one each to Kat and LG.
<DeathStar> 6* The hand wiggles around in LG's hand.
* Lunar`Girl catches the orb in one hand, using the other to keep hold of the hand
<Lunar`Girl> Remind me to never ask for a hand.
<Slasher> Push the blue button to activate it and toss it in the air. It'll scan the area for a list of materials that are used in powerful bombs. Start searching the area while I drop Stark off.
<Wind> 6* Katrina catches her orb.
<Wind> 6* Katrina nods, moving over to the ramp. She hits the button to lower it.
<Slasher> It's got about a Block radius.
* Slasher lowers the shuttle to the ground.
* Lunar`Girl gives the hand back to Stark, then heads for the ramp
<DeathStar> 6* The hand waves goodbye.
<Wind> 6* Katrina steps off the shuttle, holding her orb carefully.
* Stark^ pets the hand and puts it away.
* Lunar`Girl follows Kat off the shuttle
* Slasher lifts the shuttle off the ground, closing the ramp behind them, he turns the shuttle around and begins heading to the Police District.
<Slasher> Comm: Star, come in.
<Wind> Comm: Yeah?
* Lunar`Girl scans the current block with her orb, just to check
<DeathStar> 6* The block seems empty.
<Lunar`Girl> Okay, this block is clear.. *takes a deep breath*
<Lunar`Girl> Which way?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "I guess we should split up to cover more blocks. I'll go, um, right...you go left."
<Slasher> Comm: I'm going to drop Stark off to help interrogate Baker.
<Lunar`Girl> Sure.
* Lunar`Girl heads off to the left then
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, walking off in the other direction.
<Wind> Comm: Stark? He can interrogate?
<Slasher> Comm: He's a Witch Doctor, who knows what he can do.
<Wind> Comm: Understood.
* Lunar`Girl keeps going, scanning each block in turn
* Slasher zooms over Industrial Disctrict heading for the Police Station, the shuttle not going as fast as it can with only it's back-up boosters running.
<Slasher> So are those baby bones? *he absent mindedly points behind him towards the bone necklace*
<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl gets disappointment after disappointment. However, eight blocks in --- she hears a rustling sound coming from one of the empty plants. It's a rather large plant and the door to it appears open.
* Lunar`Girl peers in
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: I don't have a comm, do I?
<DeathStar> 6* The dark plant seems huge. It appears to be some sort of manufacturing plant. It would take a while to explore
<DeathStar> NRP: No
* Lunar`Girl carefully heads inside, using the orb to scan for details
<DeathStar> 6* The orb is turning up anything. There's a path to the left that leads to stairs, which lead up to platform that seems to attach some offices - or she can remain on the bottom level and continue forward, deeper into the plant.
* Slasher flies the shuttle to the landing pad and sets it down.
* Lunar`Girl checks the offices first
<DeathStar> 6* As she reaches the first office, she finds it locked. It appears to be dark inside. There are two other offices.
* Slasher opens the ramp and stands up.
<Slasher> Let's go Witch Doctor.
* Lunar`Girl listens at the door, first
<DeathStar> 6* A rustling sound can be heard inside.
<Slasher> ...*waves his hand infront of Stark*
* Lunar`Girl opens the door, looking inside
<DeathStar> 6* The door is locked.
<Slasher> ...*shakes his head and steps off the shuttle, heading towards the main entrance.
* Lunar`Girl pauses, then teleports in
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl appears inside, something smashes against her head - something hard and big with enough force to either knock her out, or at least stun her.
<Chad`> Yeah....This is getting awkward...You're masterbating again...
* Stark^ isnt there.
* Lunar`Girl rolls, stunned
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Yeah, I am.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure turns and leaps out the window of the office, smashing through it. They then vanish from sight into the plant.
* Stark^ looks at Wind.
<Wind> 6* Wind stands at the window. He pauses, glancing at Stark.
<Wind> ...AAAAH
* Lunar`Girl winces, then follows as best she can, teleporting out of the office
* Wind jerks back against a cop.
<Stark^> I'll go interrogate him now.
<DeathStar> 6* As Lunar Girl appears out in the plant, it appears quiet and empty now.
* Slasher walks inside the Station and makes his way towards the Interogation Room.
<Wind> ...fine. 6He shakes his head, holding his chest. "He's all yours."
* Lunar`Girl sighs, then returns to the plant to explore.
* Stark^ nods.
* Slasher walks upto the door and opens it, stepping inside.
<DeathStar> 6* As she's leaving the office, she hears a beeping sound.
* Lunar`Girl looks to the beep
<Slasher> GAH!!! *stumbles as he see's Stark*
<DeathStar> 6* A little blinking light can be seen.
* Lunar`Girl scans again
<DeathStar> 6* It's a minute reading - not a major bomb, but that IS a bomb...and the beeping is getting faster.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly it goes high pitched and detonates. The plant begins to blowu p.
* Lunar`Girl teleports out
<DeathStar> 6* The entire plant blows up, sending piees of materials flying in the sky.
<Chad`> I'm just going to head home...You freak.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Mmmmm. Yes. I like it like that, mental image of Hotaru and Em.
* Wind looks at Slasher, then turns back to watch Stark approach Baker.
<Chad`> No wonder my dad kept buying you lotion.
<DeathStar> <Baker> ... .... ... hair..gone..6He shakes his bald head around...
* Stark^ walks over to Baker.
<Stark^> I need privacy.
<Slasher> I hate Witch Doctors....*he turns to look at Wind*
<Lunar`Girl> Well... at least I know what the beeping is for future reference...
* Lunar`Girl catches her breath, and continues searching, wishing she had a comm
* Stark^ looks at the others.
* Wind nods, closing the window.
<Slasher> I bet he does gay things with him.
* Stark^ ... interrogates.
<Wind> ...gay thing?
<Slasher> He likes the company of men....So who knows what he's doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl continues onward, but the orb doesn't seem to be picking anything up - she's about half-way done with her sector.
* Lunar`Girl keeps going, wondering what she's supposed to do when she's done
<Wind> 6* Baker's cries and shrieks can be heard.
* Chad` backs up and starts walking back home.
<DeathStar> <Officer> Man, he's good.
* Stark^ steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Three thugs walk out and surround Lunar Girl. Thud 1: Oh lookee what we have hear. Tender, plump meat. I think we'll have some fun with her boys!
* Wind glances at Stark as he walks out.
* Stark^ looks at Wind and Slasher. "It's not him. Someon paid him to deliver the letter and everything. He doesn't know a name or face."
* Retrieving #taw modes...
<Lunar`Girl> I have a BOMB to find... get out of my way...
* Slasher eyes Stark out of the corner of his eye as he walks out.
<DeathStar> 6* The thugs just grin and begin to close in on Lunar Girl.
<Wind> Damn.
<Lunar`Girl> You asked for it.
* Stark^ looks at the guards.
<Slasher> We need to get back searching..
<Stark^> The bleeding will stop in time.
* Stark^ walks off.
<DeathStar> <Officer> ... he's amazing.
* Lunar`Girl flies into the air, firing a psionic beam at one, trying to stun him
<DeathStar> 6* The thug is stunned, slamming to the ground. The other two begin to run away screaming.
* Slasher shudders
* Lunar`Girl sighs a little, wishing she didn't have to do that, but feeling better after letting go of some stress
<DeathStar> 6* The officers walk in and see Baker wearing Garland's hair now.
* Lunar`Girl leans the thug against a building, then continues
<DeathStar> <Baker> Hair! 6He smiles a bloody smile
<Slasher> Alright Wind, we need to get back out there and look around.
<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl finishes her section and finds - nothing.
<Wind> Right. Where do you propose we start?
* Lunar`Girl sighs a little, and goes looking for Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* When Lunar Girl makes her way back to the starting point, there's no sign of Kat there.
<Slasher> Just wait...*he clicks his comm on*
<Slasher> Comm: Kat, you there?
<DeathStar> Comm: *voice* Kat's not here right now. But she'll be fine with me.
* Lunar`Girl thought as much, and searches Kat's area for her
<Slasher> Comm: ...Who is this?!
* Wind tenses, his eyes narrowing.
<Slasher> Comm: I SAID WHO IS THIS?!
<DeathStar> Comm: *voice* Heh heh heh. Don't try to recognize my voice. I have Katrina and I have a little certain relative of yours. Plus I blew the costumed girl up already.
<Wind> Kat!
<Slasher> Comm: You're a dead man.
<DeathStar> Comm: *voice* Can you really spend time looking for me when you have a bomb to find?
<DeathStar> Comm: 3 hours are left. You only have time to save one. The city or the girls.
<DeathStar> GM: *the comm goes dead*
<Slasher> DAMNT!
<Wind> 6* Lunar Girl would come across an orb on the ground.
<Wind> I'll...kill him.
<DeathStar> 6* Broken.
<Lunar`Girl> ... *looks to see if she can tell where Kat went from here*
<Slasher> We need to get over there.
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be no signs.
* Lunar`Girl scans the area, hoping that'll give a clue
<DeathStar> 6* No signs.
<Wind> Yes.
* Slasher grabs onto Wind's shoulder.
<Slasher> I believe the bombs in the industrial District still...
* Lunar`Girl looks for the closest open/unlocked door
<Slasher> But we need to stop at Snipe's first.
<DeathStar> 6* The plant doors seem to be sealed up and locked down.
<Wind> Why Snipe?
* Lunar`Girl reaches out psychically, hoping she can find a trace of Kat
<Slasher> The guy said he blew up the costumed girl...
<Wind> ....Michiru.
<Slasher> Plus we're going to need all the help we can get.
<Wind> Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be no traces.
<Lunar`Girl> ... I can't just give up...
* Slasher waits for DS to teleport them to Snipe's place.
* Wind teleports them to Snipe's place.
* Lunar`Girl thinks, trying to find a way to find Kat without searching every building
* Slasher runs up the porch and pounds on the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe opens the door. "I'm busy."
<Slasher> John, it's about you're daughter.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... Andrea's in danger?!
<Slasher> ....No your other daughter. Michiru!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Michiru's kidnapped Andrea!?
<Wind> ...
<Wind> He's taken too many blows to the head.
* Slasher smacks his forehead. 1"No you retarded dipshit. Michiru went searching for the bomb and well...The bomber claims he blew her up in a Plant."
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(If I only had a comm...)
<DeathStar> <Snipe> But, why would Michiru go looking for a bomb? She's a normal teenage girl who stays at home and dreams about boys.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Why couldn't I have just stayed at home, and dreamt about cute guys?)
* Slasher grabs Snipe by the collar. 1"YOUR DAUGHTER.....GOD DAMNT YOU RETARD!"
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe blinks as he's jerked forward. "Now now, Slasher. My daughter is a lover, not a fighter."
* Lunar`Girl keeps searching, hoping that something will provide some sort of clue
<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl finds "clue" spraypainted on the wall over a closed dumpster.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Here, I'll prove it. She's in her room. 6He shrugs Slasher off, walking up the stairs to the second floor.
* Lunar`Girl blinks, then searches the dumpster, sighing
<DeathStar> 6* When she opens the dumpster, it explodes on her.
* Slasher looks back to Wind, a look of pure dumbfoundedness on his face.
* Wind shrugs, looking impatient.
* Lunar`Girl shields herself with psionic energy, but is blown backwards anyway
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe reaches the second floor and opens the door. "See? There she is!" 6He calls down to them.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Well, at least I'm going in the right direction.)
<Slasher> I'll be right back. *he runs inside the house and up the stairs* WHERE?!
* Lunar`Girl keeps searching, scanning the area with orb and psi
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe points at a doll with a wig on it, holding a sign saying "I'm Michiru"
* Slasher walks into the room and grabs the door, pulling it off the bed.
<Slasher> NRP: doll.
<DeathStar> 6* The areas seem to be empty. There doesn't seem to be anyone here. WAit---wait, there's a faint signal coming from a rather large building that looks condemned.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ...
* Lunar`Girl heads for the building, hoping that she won't have to risk being blown up again
<Slasher> IT'S A FAKE!!!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> My GOD. She pulled a fast one on me. She must be seeing a boy.
<Slasher> I think that Lunar Girl is making her go out with her at night!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... wait, what. You think Michiru's gay?
<DeathStar> 6* The signal grows stronger - it seems to be coming from the back of the building.
<Slasher> God fuck it...*he phases down next to Wind and puts his hand on his shouldeR*
<Slasher> To the Industrial District.
* Lunar`Girl keeps towards the back of the building, carefully, not wanting to get stunned again
* Wind closes his eyes, then teleports them to the Industrial District.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: keeps moving
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... hmmm. 6Pauses to picture Lunar Girl/Michiru married.
* Chad` comes running upto his house and hops up onto the porch, walking to the back door.
<DeathStar> 6* The back door has been kicked in.
* Chad` slows down to a stop, seeing the door kicked in.
<Chad`> ...Aya...*he sprints into the house and looks around*
<Wind> 6* Lunar Girl sees a large crate - closed. The signal is massively strong now.
<Wind> 6* The house looks like a fight took place. But no sign of Aya...
<Chad`> AYA!!!
<Wind> Well, now what?
* Lunar`Girl looks over the crate, hoping she can open it without setting the bomb off
* Slasher looks around, seeing smoke rising from a plant.
<Slasher> ...Somethign happened over there.
<Wind> 6* The crate doesn't give any indication if it can be opened safely ... or not. It's a gamble.
<Wind> ....Michiru.
* Wind huries over to the destroyed plant.
* Slasher sprints after Wind.
<Slasher> Can you sense here anywhere?
<Chad`> AYA?! CHERYL?!
<Wind> Not here. I can't sense her here at all. Either she's dead ... or she left.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, away on a trip with Ariel, cannot answer. But Aya should have been here...
<Slasher> ...*sprints upstairs, heading towards her bedroom*
<Slasher> NRP: DOh.
* Chad` sprints upstairs, heading towards her bedroom.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(If I know his methods, I won't be able to open it without setting the thing off... and I can't defuse bombs anyway.)
<DeathStar> 6* The bedroom is a mess. Obviously something happened here. A note can be seen on the bed, drops of red on it.
* Lunar`Girl leaves the bomb alone for now, looking for Kat
<Wind> 6* A rattling sound can be heard inside the crate as she walks away.
<Chad`> *a sense of fear comes over him and he dashes into her room spotting the note, he runs over to it and reads it*
<DeathStar> "I have your granddaughter" 6it reads.
<Chad`> Aya....
* Lunar`Girl reaches out psionically to try to find Kat, or anyone who can actually defuse bombs
<Wind> 6* There seems to be a lifesign inside the crate with the bomb!
* Chad` runs down the stairs and out of the house, sprinting full speed back to Snipe's house.
* Wind lifts his head.
<Wind> I sense psionic energy.
* Wind begins to move in the opposite direction.
<Lunar`Girl> <Kat? Is that you?>
<DeathStar> 6* Silence.
<Slasher> ...It has to be Michiru...*follows Wind, a look of relief on his face*
* Lunar`Girl tries to identify the life-sign, roughly
<DeathStar> 6* Female. Human.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(But... if the crate is wired...)
* Wind slows down, looking around
<Wind> I lost the signal. She has to be here somewhere.
* Lunar`Girl reaches out psionically again.
<Wind> Wait...
* Slasher looks over to Wind as he slows down.
* Wind glances around, then moves off in the direction. He comes to a smoking dumpster.
* Slasher follows after seeing the smoking dumpster.
<Slasher> With all these explosions you'd expect Cole went through here.
* Lunar`Girl tries to locate Wind or Slasher or anyone else she knows
<Wind> Or Snipe's daughter.
<DeathStar> 6* They're nearby --- but she can't tell where, exactly.
<Slasher> ...*nods*
<Wind> Wait...someone's looking for us...
* Wind glances around.
* Lunar`Girl heads out, looking for them
<Wind> 6* Suddenly, Slasher and Wind vanish, teleported by some unknown means.
<Wind> 6* They appear on top of the presidential roof.
* Slasher spins around looking.
<Slasher> What the hell just happened.
<Wind> ?!
<Lunar`Girl> ...
<Wind> Something teleported us. .... only a ship could have done that.
<Slasher> But...
* Wind looks straight up into the blue sky.
<Slasher> Can you sense anything?
* Lunar`Girl heads back to the crate, trying to sense the inside of it
* Slasher pulls out his datapad typign on it feveriously.
<Wind> Not me. But there could be someone up there.
<Slasher> There has to be...
<DeathStar> 6* It's hard to sense anything, but the oxygen level is running out in there.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Could I make a hole in the crate without hurting whoever's inside?
<DeathStar> NRP: I can't answer that.
<Slasher> There
<Slasher> ...There's a ship in orbit Wind.
<Wind> Damn.
<Slasher> I can't find out what kind of ship either...
<Wind> Wasn't there a Chiere ship in orbit during the tournament?
<Slasher> I thought that was Juniors.
<Wind> Hmmm
<Slasher> Unless that Retri guy...
<Wind> ...
* Slasher hands tense up
<Wind> We need to get into space.
* Lunar`Girl carefully tries to make a small hole in the top of the crate, doing her best to keep from either hurting whoever's inside, or setting off the bomb. Big enough to let air in, though
* Chad` sprints out of the woods heading uptowards Snipe's hosue once again.
<DeathStar> 6* As soon as she starts drilling, the bomb's signals begin to rise dangerously.
* Wind pulls out his comm. and enters a code, sending the signal.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Can I teleport things without touching them?
<DeathStar> NRP: You have to touch to teleport.
<Slasher> Yeah...
* Chad` leaps onto the porch, sliding upto the door, he begins pounding feveriously.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Is the rising fast enough that I don't have time to stop/whatever?
<DeathStar> 6* A dot can be seen in the distance.
<DeathStar> NRP: Only way to find out is to try it!
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe opens the door again, looking at Chad. "Do you think Michiru is gay with Lunar Girl?"
<Chad`> What?! I don't know! SOMEONE HAS AYA!!!
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Can I reach the occupant through the hole?
<DeathStar> NRP: No. The hole's not drilled all the way through
<DeathStar> <Snipe> What?
* Chad` leaps up grabbing onto Snipe's shoulders. 1"SOMEONE BROKE INTO OUR HOUSE AND KIDNAPPED AYA!!"
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... Aya! We have to save her! Quick, to the Snipe mobile! 6He leaps off the porch and hurries over to his beat up car.
* Lunar`Girl pauses for a second, hoping that it won't keep rising, but if it does, tries to get at the occupant and teleport away with her
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb's level stops rising, but it doesn't go back down.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: As far as possible, BTW
* Chad` follows after Snipe.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe gets into his car, cranking it up.
* Lunar`Girl just.. pauses.. worried...
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle zooms up next to Slasher and Wind. It's Wind's second shuttle.
<Wind> Here we go.
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Please come back....)
* Wind teleports them into the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> So, um ... what's the plan?
<Chad`> I DON'T KNOW!!
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe nods. "Right. We find someone with a plan then!" 6He begins to drive toward Mega City.
* Wind grabs the controls, then begins to fly up into the air with the shuttle, flying away from Mega City.
* Slasher sits in the co-pilot seat, obviously deep in thought.
<Chad`> We need to save her.....
<DeathStar> 6* As their shuttle breaks into space, they can see a giant space station in orbit -- and a Chiere space ship nearby.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> We'll save her!
<Slasher> It's a Chiere Shuttle...
<Wind> Damn.
<Wind> It looks like Junior's..from the readings.
* Wind shoves the controls forward and begins to zoom after the ship.
<Slasher> But why...
<Wind> 6* The Chiere ship begins to turn and fly away, heading for the space station.
<Slasher> They're running. Obviously guilty.
* Chad` fidgits around, obviously nervouse.
<Wind> 6* The Earth shuttle zooms after the Chiere vessel, trying to keep up. However, the other's ship is faster
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe plays with the radio as he drives along.
* Slasher begins typing on the Co-Pilots controls, rerouting sub-protocols into the thrusters
<Wind> They're hailing us. 6He notes when the comm. blinks.
* Slasher flips the comm.
<Wind> <Junior's voice> You'll never take Katrina away from me again! 6The Chiere ship self-destructs and explodes before them.
<Wind> ...KATRINA!
* Slasher begins scanning the area.
<Wind> 6* There appears to be no life signs in the debris of the ship --- bodies can be seen floating in space. However, one life sign is coming - from the unfinished space station.
* Wind clenches his teeth shut.
<Slasher> Fly by the wreckage so we can check the bodies...Otherwise I'm getting a life sign on the station.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe drives into Mega City, passing all the traffic since they're trying to get out.
* Lunar`Girl searches the area outside the warehouse, psionically scanning for ANYONE
* Wind flies past the bodies - but the pieces are beyond recognition now.
<DeathStar> 6* No one is near LG, except the person in the chest - they're oxygen level has maybe 30 mins left.
<Slasher> ...To the station Star.
* Wind nods, turning toward the station, which looks a lot like the original Hunter Station.
* Wind thrusts the controls forward, sending the shuttle flying toward it.
<Chad`> CAN'T YOU GO ANYFASTER?!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I'm going 100! 6He mutters, turning the radio off in disgust.
* Lunar`Girl waits, for now, not yet ready to risk blowing herself and the occupant up in a rescue attempt
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe pulls into the police district.
* Wind flies into the hanger and enters a code. The station's computers begin to seal the hanger and restore atmosphere for them.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Could I get back into the city and back in 30 minutes?
* Wind lands the shuttle as the atmosphere is cleared. The lights come on in this portion of the station and gravity is restored.
<Wind> <Computer Voice> Welcome, President Wind. The Station is currently 76% complete.
* Wind steps off the shuttle and walks across the hanger toward the hallway. It's built just like the original station.
* Slasher stands up. 1"So this is your pet project...
<Wind> You got me.
* Slasher follows behind Wind.
<Slasher> Have the computer scan for whoever's on here.
<Wind> Computer, find the person on this station other than us.
* Lunar`Girl rushes for a phone box
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Or anything similar
<Wind> <Computer's Voice> Scanning. One individual found. Teleporter Room.
<Slasher> Shut the teleporter off!
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(I'm tired of just waiting..)
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(Wind's not coming back..)
<Wind> <Computer's Voice> I do not have the programming to do such yet. The teleporter is not quite finished. Great danger in using it. ... Individual powering teleporters up. Highly irregular.
<DeathStar> 6* The payphone requires 60 gil.
<Wind> Come on.
* Lunar`Girl puts the gil in
* Wind rushes to the stairway, running down the stairs.
<Lunar`Girl> NRP: Does Snipe have a mobile phone?
* Slasher spritns in behind him
<DeathStar> NRP: No.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... 6He hurries over to a guard. "President's Slasher's granddaughter has been kidnapped!"
* Lunar`Girl tries to think of someone she can contact
* Lunar`Girl contacts the police, since it's easiest
<DeathStar> <Guard> ... ! I'll tell the chief. 6He hurries off.
* Chad` bounces around next to Snipe.
<DeathStar> <Dispatcher> Hello. How might I help you? 6she says to Lunar Girl.
* Wind arrives on the floor with the teleporter. He rushes to the room and opens it just as a person in a trench coat teleports away.
<Wind> ...damn!
<Lunar`Girl> It's Lunar Girl. I found the bomb, but there's someone in the crate, and I can't open it without setting off the bomb. *gives the location*
<DeathStar> <Dispatcher> Um...okay. I'll be sure to pass this information on. Right now, do not touch the crate.
* Slasher slides to a stop.
<Lunar`Girl> Thankyou
<DeathStar> 6* The police chief walks out to Snipe and Chad.
<DeathStar> <Police Chief> We're going to contact the President now. 6He tries Slasher's comm.
<Slasher> Computer, where did he teleport?!
<Wind> <Computer> Somewhere in Mega City.
<Slasher> Can you pinpoint...*he look down as his comm beeps, he picks it up and clicks it on* Yes?
<DeathStar> <Police Chief on Comm> Hello. We have John McCormick here telling us your granddaughter has been kidnapped.
<Slasher> Comm: WHAT?!
* Wind bends down, running his finger over silver blood on the ground.
* Slasher lokos over at Wind.
<DeathStar> 6* An officer runs up to the chief and begins to whisper in his ear.
<Slasher> Comm: Tell him I'll be right there.
* Wind stands up, putting a hand on Slasher.
<Wind> We'll go now.
* Wind teleports.
* Wind appears beside Snipe.
<DeathStar> 6* The police chief turns to look at everyone. "We found the bomb! But it seems there's a civilian trapped with it."
<Slasher> Oh no...
<Chad`> Someone took Aya, Slasher.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ...! I bet Aya's with the bomb.
<Slasher> It's ok Chad, she'll be fine.
<Slasher> We need to get over there now.
* Wind glances at the address from the police chief, then grabs Slasher and Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe grabs Wind, too.
* Wind teleports, appearing behind Lunar Girl.
* Lunar`Girl takes the group to the bomb
<Lunar`Girl> She's in there..
<Lunar`Girl> I can't get it open without risking setting it off, so I didn't..
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I'll open it!
<Slasher> You did fine Lunar Girl...*he walks over to the box and reaches into the backpack, pulling out a pair of goggles that he places over his head*
<Lunar`Girl> Thanks.. I did everything I could safely.
* Wind looks around the building.
<Wind> ... Say, Slasher. What would be the best way to get everyone in one spot?
* Slasher kneels down infront of the box
<Lunar`Girl> It's strange though.. I'd have thought the kidnapper would've kept her close...
<Slasher> ...Use something to gather them togeth....
* Wind points at all the bombs attached to the building walls.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Uh oh.
<Slasher> ...Shit...*begins scanning the crate*
<Wind> 6* The life sign is in there!
<Lunar`Girl> I think it's Katrina in there, though it might not be..
<DeathStar> 6* The bombs begin to beep around the room.
<Lunar`Girl> Oh shit.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach a steady beep now.
<Wind> It's about to blow!
<Slasher> Hmmm...
* Lunar`Girl gets ready to teleport out with Snipe
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... Lunar Girl! A RE YOU HAVING SEX WITH MY DAUGHTER?
<Lunar`Girl> WHAT?! NO!!
<DeathStar> 6* The bombs detonate around the room.
* Lunar`Girl teleports out with Snipe quickly
* Wind grabs Chad and Slasher quickly, then puts a foot on the chest. He teleports as the room is engulfed in a firey inferno.
* Wind appears high the sky. They all begin to fall, especially the crate.
* Lunar`Girl appears nearby, likewise high up
* Slasher flips undernearth the crate and pulls out a screwdriver drill from his backpack and he begins to take the bottom off.
<Chad`> AHHH!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe falls, flapping his hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya falls out from under the crate - as does a bomb. They both begin to fall.
<Slasher> Hold on Aya...
<Lunar`Girl> AYA!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I'll save her!
<Lunar`Girl> So it wasn't Kat...
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe cups his body together and zooms after her.
* Lunar`Girl flies over towards Aya, with Snipe
* Slasher flips around shoving the crate away
<Wind> The bomb!
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe grabs the unconscious Aya.
* Slasher pulls his hands backwards and he zooms downtowards the bomb
<Wind> 6* The bomb's trip wires break as the bomb falls. It explodes in the air.
<DeathStar> 6* A massive shockwave errupts as a firey death explodes outward in the air. The buildings under them get flattened.
* Slasher shoves his hands forward as he forms a Chi-Shield, the explosion slams into him and sends him backwards.
* Lunar`Girl grabs Snipe and Aya, and psionically shields them
* Wind grabs Chad and teleports.
* Chad` is knocked back by the shockwave and he goes spiralling through the air
* Wind appears on a roof out of the shockwave range.
* Slasher regains his oreientation and begins phasing downwards, slowing his freefall.
* Lunar`Girl does her best to teleport the group to a safe place
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe looks dizzy
* Wind watches the pieces rain down from the sky, shaking his head.
* Slasher phases one last time and he hits the ground roughly, sending him rolling across the street.
* Lunar`Girl looks exhausted, appearing on a rooftop
<Lunar`Girl> Is... everyone okay...?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Great! 6He slaps Lunar Girl on the breasts, then checks on Aya.
* DeathStar drops Chad to the roof and walks over to Snipe and Lunar Girl
* Chad` runs over to Aya.
<Chad`> Is she ok?!
<DeathStar> <Snipe> She's fine!
* Slasher phases onto the roof with the others, appearing behind Snipe. 1"Is she ok?
<DeathStar> <Snipe> She's fine!
<DeathStar> 6* An incoming signal comes from Kat's comm.
<Chad`> Aya? *he kneels down checking to see if she's awake*
* Lunar`Girl smiles, looking almost ready to pass out
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is sleeping peacefully.
* Chad` plops down on his ass.
<Chad`> Who did this?!
* Wind grabs the comm, clicking it on
<Wind> <Voice> 2 hours left boys, before the bomb goes off.
<Slasher> ...*looks over at Wind*
<Lunar`Girl> Oh yeah... your daughter's fi-WHAT?!!
<Lunar`Girl> Didn't we just STOP the bomb?
* Wind takes a deep breath, letting it out.
<Wind> <Voice> Heh heh. Good luck. My condolesences on Katrina's untimely death by Junior's hands. 6It clicks off.
<Slasher> ...How'd he know about that...
<Wind> Unless he was the one on the space station.
<Lunar`Girl> ... Kat's dead...?
<Wind> ....
<Slasher> I don't think so....The voice sounded the same as the last time...
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Kat...dead...?
<Lunar`Girl> I hope you're right, Slasher...
<Lunar`Girl> We split up to find the bomb, I was almost killed when the plant I was searching exploded, and Kat got kidnapped...
<Lunar`Girl> I never managed to find her.
<Wind> Nothing is making sense.
<Lunar`Girl> What do you mean...?
<Wind> A letter from Baker, a bombs experiment. It turns out not to be him. Then someone tries to "kill" you - then kidnaps Kat. The person claims they have two women, one being Aya and the other Kat, then references to a bomb. We get teleported by a chiere ship in space ... go into space and Junior blows it up and kills everyone on board, himself and Kat. Then we find someone on a space station, wearing a black trench coat, who then teleports
<Wind> Then we find Aya wrapped up in a decoy bomb, that's not the "real" bomb --- what does it add up to?
<Lunar`Girl> We've been distracted...
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... 6He sits there quietly.
<Slasher> But if that's the case...Why?
<Lunar`Girl> Either someone wants the bomb to go off... or someone just wants us out of the way while he does something...
<Slasher> Yes, but what can he go after with us distracted.
<Lunar`Girl> Someone... or something...
<Slasher> ...Star, how was he able to get on the Station without your code?
<Lunar`Girl> ... who else knows the code?
<Wind> The station was set up to activate on my codes, but anyone can go up there. Work crews go up there every day.
<Lunar`Girl> ... oh.
<Wind> He just couldn't use it until... I turned it on.
<Wind> Which allowed him to escape.
<Slasher> Did you have the cameras activated?
* Wind smacks his forehead.
<Wind> No.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Maybe I'm doing it and I've gone evil!
<Slasher> ...Hand me the comm.
* Wind hands Slasher his comm.
* Slasher reaches into his backpocket and pulls out his datapad, he hooks the comm up to it and begins typing on his HoloVid
<DeathStar> 6* There's an explosion across the city. A fireball goes up into the air.
* Wind looks over the city in surprise.
* Lunar`Girl stares, trying to work out what went boom
* Wind teleports.
* Slasher grabs onto Chad and they phase over there.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... I'll watch Aya.
<DeathStar> 6 Snipe sits there by her.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> And no sex with Michiru, Lunar Girl!
<Lunar`Girl> What? I can't believe you think that I am!
* Wind appears in front of a burning apartment building. He blinks in recogition.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Slasher told me all about it.
* Slasher appears next to him.
* Chad` looks at the burning building.
<Wind> This was the building Terra's been staying in since she quit the police.
<Slasher> ...
* Wind shakes his head.
<Wind> I can't sense any life signs now. If anyone was in there, they're not alive.
<DeathStar> <Slasher's Datapad> Voice match found.
* Slasher looks down at his datapad.
<DeathStar> <Snipe> ... 6Reads a college book when no one is looking. He puts on his glasses and leans back.
<Slasher> It's done. *he brings up the identity of the Myster Man.
<Slasher> What the...
<Wind> What is it?
<Slasher> It say it's Warren Carmichael's.
<Wind> Wait, Ire's? Isn't he dead?
<Slasher> Yeah...
<Wind> ...
<Slasher> It's...There's a 5% Chance of Error so it could be falsely produced but...Eitherway we're back to square one.
<Wind> ...
* Wind blinks in surprise.
<Wind> Wait...
* Slasher turns looking at Wind.
<Wind> Didn't Stark and Ire have a close connection? And Ire and Junior? And since this case began, we've had encounters with both. Junior not in the flesh, per say.
<Wind> The man on the station had a trench coat.
<Slasher> Yes...He did.
<Wind> Also, Terra's place was destroyed. Another connection to Ire.
<Wind> And Ire died on a space station.
<Slasher> ...So you think he's back from the dead?
<Slasher> Or someone's going after anyone that had a connection with him.
<Wind> ...Lets just follow the connections. What's another connection Ire had?
* Slasher begins rubbing his temples.
<DeathStar> We need someone who knows Ire.
<DeathStar> Or knew.
* Chad` looks at the two, obviously confused.
<Slasher> Pope's dead...And if I recall Senreich died also.
<Wind> And I doubt we'll find Stark unless he wants to be found.
<Slasher> So where do we go from here? Time's running out.
<Wind> An hour and a half left. And we need to find things about a man entiher of know.
<Slasher> And we can only hope that these things have our answ...Building 38?
<Wind> ....Building 38. It was searched...but it's in a central location to the city.
<Wind> A perfect place for a bomb.
<Slasher> He was also a chronic Alcholic.
<Slasher> Let's go there then.
* Wind puts a hand on Slasher.
<Wind> Then we go to Building 38.
* Slasher put a hand on Chad
* Wind teleports them in front of the building.
<DeathStar> 6* The sky begins to darken and rain drops begin to fall.
* Slasher looks at the building, studying it.
* Chad` looks upwards. 1"Why's it raining suddenly?!"
<Wind> I got reports from some officers that someone sleeps here at night.
<Slasher> If I recall Cole used to sleep here.
<Wind> Hm. Makes sense. Where did that idiot wander off to, anyway?
* Slasher slides his goggles over his eyes and begins looking at the building for any heat sources.
<DeathStar> 6* Lightning flashes in the sky, lighting up someone in a trench coat on the roof. They walk away.
<Wind> There!
* Slasher looks upwards at the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* The heat signature is non-existant.
<Slasher> ....There's no heat coming from the body...
<Wind> ... could be wearing a suit to hide it.
<Slasher> Or he coudl be undead...Regardless, he's in there.
<Wind> Yes.
<Wind> And we know nothing about how he thinks.
<Slasher> Besides he likes bombs...
<Wind> There's that.
<Chad`> I'm going in there to kick his ass! *trudges past the two heading towards the entrance*
<Wind> Wait, Chad--- 6He stretches his hand when a sniper shot hits Chad in the chest.
* Chad` hangs there, then falls down, his hand clutching his chest.
<Slasher> JESUS! *dashes forward, grabbing onto Chad as he falls*
* Wind rushes over to Chad and Slasher.
* Slasher looks down to check where the shot hit.
<DeathStar> 6* The shot was perfectly aimed to miss the heart.
* Chad` shakes as blood pours out of his wound.
<Wind> One of us needs to get him to the hospital.
<Slasher> It's not fatal...But we need to stop the bleeding...
* Slasher looks upto Wind. 1"Can you handle him or not?"
<Wind> I can.
<Slasher> I'll be back as soon as I can...*seconds later his body phases out of existence with Chad*
<DeathStar> 6* The hospital is quite under manned, as most people have fled.
* Slasher appears in the hospital, Chad in his arms. 1"ANYONE ARUOND?!
<DeathStar> 6* A few people stare in surprise.
* Slasher looks at the few people. 1"Are any of you medically trained?
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor walks over. He motions for Slasher to put Chad down on the table.
* Slasher sets Chad on the table and backs away.
* Chad` looks up, his hand still holding against his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors begin to do their thing, carrying Chad off while shaking bone necklaces.
* Slasher follows after the doctors.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> This procedure will take about an hour. You may watch if you like.
<Slasher> My frequency's 129.4, if anything happens. And I mean anything you comm me.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Of course.
* Slasher eyes the doctor up and down, then phases away.
* Slasher reappears behind a tree infront of building 38.
<Lunar`Girl> Take care, anyway. I'm going to see how the group are doing.
<DeathStar> 6* It's still raining and the building looks empty.
* Lunar`Girl heads off to find said group
* Slasher looks past the tree at the building, eyeing it.
<Slasher> .oO(Where are you Star)
<DeathStar> 6* Lightning
* Slasher flips his goggles down and looks at the door, checking for any trip wires.
<DeathStar> 6* The door appears to be clear.
* Slasher crouches then makes a mad dash for the front door.
<DeathStar> 6* A trip mine detonates under Slasher, causing a loud explosion
* Lunar`Girl heads towards the sound of the explosion

* Slasher hits the ground and rolls, making a mad dash for a doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Slasher enters the kitchen, where he trips a wire and from the ceiling swings butcher knives down at his face.
<Slasher> EEEK! *he bends over backwards letting the knives swing for where his head was*
<DeathStar> 6* The fridge opens and a remote control car drives out, driving rights towards him - with a bomb strapped to the back
<Slasher> What the hell?! dashes out of the kitchen, hurling two Chi-Balls at the machineguns.
<DeathStar> 6* The machine guns explode. The remote control car drives into the lobby after Slasher.
* Slasher twist, then leaps up onto the stairway, heading to the second floor.
<DeathStar> 6* The trip wires detonate, causing the stairs to explode under him.
<Lunar`Girl> What's going on, Wind?
* Wind isn't around
<Lunar`Girl> ... O...kay...
<DeathStar> 6* Explosions can be heard from Building 38
<Slasher> GAH!! *he scrambles up the stairs as the steps explode under him*
* Slasher he leaps up and slides on the 2nd floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Two grenades fall down the stairs toward Slasher
* Lunar`Girl wonders if she even should go in or not
* Slasher plants his hands and he flips himself over the grenades, letting them bounce down the exploded stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* The second floor is now quiet -- this is where the rooms and showers were kept.
* Slasher squats there, taking a breather.
* Lunar`Girl pauses, waiting for the explosions to stop before heading in
<DeathStar> 6* A remote control car drives right at LG the second she steps in.
* Lunar`Girl jumps into the air above the car, and flies up the ruined stairs
<DeathStar> 6* Spikes come out of the stair ceilings the second she flies, trying to impale her.
<Lunar`Girl> No way I'm letting that.. eep! *drops to the ground and runs*
<DeathStar> 6* The car turns and drives into the elevator.
<Lunar`Girl> ...
* Lunar`Girl keeps running up the stairs, hoping to outrun the elevator
* Slasher begins studying the room, looking for anything.
<DeathStar> 6* The stairs are ruined - LG can't climb them!
<DeathStar> 6* Though Slasher can't hear a racket down stairs.
* Lunar`Girl floats up the stairs?
<DeathStar> 6* LUnar Girl arrives on floor 2.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors to the rooms are shut.
* Slasher turns back to see Lunar Girl. 1"What are you doing here?!
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator dings and the car drives out of the elevator and right at Slasher's back.
<Lunar`Girl> Checking on you and the others...?
<Lunar`Girl> AAAAHHH! Watch out!
* Slasher flips backwards, letting the car go underneath him.
<DeathStar> 6* The car drives toward LG!
* Lunar`Girl jumps over, firing a psi beam at it
<DeathStar> 6* It explodes, taking out a portion of the second floor.
* Slasher slides back from the explosion. 1"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!
<Lunar`Girl> Well... at least it's gone...
<DeathStar> 6* Rain begins to pour in from outside now.
<Slasher> ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING?! You could've killed us all!
<Lunar`Girl> ...
* Slasher shakes his head, he turns to look at the doors.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire's room, and Dahok's room are totally demolished now.
<DeathStar> 6* The others are empty, apparantly.
<Lunar`Girl> ... I guess I don't have John's experience...
<DeathStar> 6* Snipe, meanwhile, falls off the roof while reading.
<Slasher> Why would you?! You're still a kid. A kid who shouldn't be here right now...*he turns looking for the stairway to the 3rd *
<DeathStar> 6* The stairway to the third floor is intact and right there to his right.
<Lunar`Girl> Thanks for making me feel useful...
<DeathStar> 6* A sound comes from the showers.
* Slasher slides over to the stairs, leanding against the wall next to them. He peeks up them, looking for anything out of the norm.
<Lunar`Girl> Okay, so I did one stupid thing...
<DeathStar> 6* The stairs look peaceful and innocent.
* Slasher turns back to the showers.
* Lunar`Girl slumps down.
<Slasher> I don't have time for this...
* Slasher runs over to the showers entrance and peers inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Grunts and moans can be heard, as if someone's having sex.
<Slasher> ...Michiru, check the showers. I'm going upstairs...*he turns away and walks upto the stairwell*

<DeathStar> 6* Lunar Girl sees a holovid of Diamondback and Unoria having sex on the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* It's about 12 stairs to the top.
<Lunar`Girl> ... *checks the rest of the room, ignoring the holovid*
<DeathStar> 6* The door to the bathroom is shut the second she turns around
<DeathStar> 6* And attached to it is a bomb. And it reads "10" "9"
<DeathStar> "8" "7"
<DeathStar> "6"
<DeathStar> "5"
<DeathStar> "4"
<DeathStar> "3"
<Lunar`Girl> ... OH SHIT! *teleports out*

<DeathStar> "1"
<DeathStar> 6* The showers explode.

* Slasher looks down as he see's the spikse pop out, he kicks his legs out, slamming them against the sidewalls
<DeathStar> 6* The walls begin to close in on either side, trying to crush him.
* Lunar`Girl decides that the shower is a dead end, and looks for other unchecked rooms. Failing that, she tries the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* LG, the second she comes back to the stairs, would see they're trying to crush Slasher!
* Granji has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Slasher growls as his knees begin to bend from the force.
* Lunar`Girl moves to help, pushing the walls apart with psi energy
* Lunar`Girl tries to, at least
<DeathStar> 6* The walls crack as they are pushed back.
<Lunar`Girl> Slasher! Are you okay?!
* Slasher relaxes slightly and begins to waddle up the walls towards the top of the stairs.
<Slasher> For now...
* Lunar`Girl follows carefully. "They tried to catch me in the showers."

<Slasher> Sorry to disapoint.
<Wind> 6* The person raises a rifle at Slasher and Lunar Girl.
* Lunar`Girl tries to knock the rifle away with telekinesis
* Slasher slides back a ball of Chi forming in his hand.
<Wind> 6* The person's hand doesn't waver. It seems the telekinesis failed.
<Wind> <Voice> Now now.
<Slasher> Why did you do all this?
<Wind> <Voice> To make a point.
<Lunar`Girl> What point?
<Slasher> And what pray tell is the point?
<Wind> <Voice> Heh heh. That I'm #1.
<Lunar`Girl> ... no... you can't be...
* Granji has joined #taw
<Wind> NRP: You can't be Granji!
<Wind> <Voice> That's right.
* Wind is now known as Snipe
* Snipe steps into the light.
<Lunar`Girl> Didn't you g...gah...
<Lunar`Girl> .oO(DAD?!)
<Slasher> But...

* Slasher phases behind Snipe slamming the Chi-ball into the back of his neck.

<Slasher> What the hell's wrong with you Snipe.
<Lunar`Girl> John... aren't you supposed to be a hero...?

* Slasher begins growling. 1"Where's Aya?"
<Snipe> That I can rule the world!
<Snipe> Oh, I tied her up somewhere.
<Lunar`Girl> Why the hell didn't you JUST BECOME PRESIDENT THEN?!
<Snipe> And Wind, when he came in here.
<Snipe> Say, now there's a thought. 6He pulls out a bazooka and fires it at Lunar Girl
* Lunar`Girl teleports away, eeping
<DeathStar> 6* It explodes, tearing out another hole. The building groans from the abuse.
* Slasher dashes forward as he fires the rocket he leaps onto a disk and kicks off it, spin kicking at Snipe's shoulder.
<Lunar`Girl> Stop this, you'll kill us all!
* Snipe is kicked, slamming against another desk. He back flips over it, grabbing army knives and throwing them at Slasher.
<Lunar`Girl> What the hell is wrong with you?!
* Slasher kicks downwards, breaking a desk and launching a piece of it infront of him to let the knives slam in them.
<Snipe> I... I think I'm under control of some evil force... 6He holds his head. "I think I need help..."
* Lunar`Girl tries to psychically shield Snipe's mind, though it probably won't help
<Snipe> 6* Something blocks it.
<Lunar`Girl> ... GET THE COAT OFF HIM!
* Slasher flips a chair up and grabs it, he twirls around and throws it at Snipe.
* Snipe ducks the chair, standing up.
<Snipe> That's not helping!
<Slasher> Sorry.
<Snipe> No problem. Here, catch. 6He tosses a bomb at Slasher.

<Wind> ...he is?
* Slasher pushes himself up
<Lunar`Girl> I think that's what he said.
* Slasher coughs smoke coming out of his mouth
<Wind> Do you two think you can stop him, then? I'm going to find Kat and the bomb.
<Lunar`Girl> I'll try.. together, we probably can.
<Wind> Good. I want to make one quick stop first. 6He prepares to teleport.
<Lunar`Girl> Slasher, how are you?
* Wind teleports.
<Slasher> Just...warming up.
<Lunar`Girl> Great.

<Wind> 6* Snipe pushes up his glasses. "So, Wind told me I'm all evil or something."

<Lunar`Girl> I'm sorry... I didn't even think to... well, think
* Granji has joined #taw
<Lunar`Girl> Though, that did seem strange

<Wind> 6* Snipe takes Aya in arms, then begins to climb back out of the sewers.
<Slasher> Where you going John?
<Lunar`Girl> Lets go. At least we don't have to worry about him pulling out the dark psionic matter kiama

<Lunar`Girl> We should try to find a way to help, though

<Lunar`Girl> I might be able to find Slasher with my psionics, and we could head back in..
* Slasher continues to dash after Baberlus. He formas a Chi ball then smashes it into a disc, he reels his hand back and hurls it forward at Baberlus like a sawblade.
