[Snipe] What the hell....?
[Slasher] What?
* Snipe looks up
[Snipe] This is a stick figure.
[Gravedigger] Ask the golden boy. He'll love to tell you the whole story, just to rub it all in my face.
[Ripple] Eesh...
[Slasher] Huh?! Oh...sorry I got bored waiting for oyu to come over here..*hands him the real drawing of the Isolator II* The engine will be my new prototypes. It'll be in yours and Dias's mechs.
[Gravedigger] I need a drink.
*** DeathStar sets mode: +v Wing
[Dias] So what made you decide to fly mechs?
[Ripple] Well guy.. this'd probably be one of the last times you'll see me on duty... It's been a pleasure fighting with you.
* Velocity sits down in the corner
* Ripple holds out a hand
* Gravedigger blinks
[Gravedigger] What?
[Ripple] I've turned in my badge.
* DeathStar makes his way up to the control room
* Wing comes back, his bag gone
[Slasher] So? What do you think?
* Wing passes DeathStar
* Seraphna walks over to inspect the Gargos-Ni's construction
* Snipe drools
[Snipe] Purty..
[Slasher] ...You like the naked Elayne decal on it's shoulder don't you..
[Ripple] NRP: LOL
[Gravedigger] Butwhy?
* Wing glances at them, silently
[Snipe] ....*looks up*
[Snipe] Oh hush you
[Ripple] I.. thought it was time to settle down... Hyper was really screwing up my system...
[Iceheart] Eve: *Seems to be thinking*
[Slasher] Heh...the sooner Cheryl gets back the faster I can get your mech done..
[Gravedigger] But surely that's not any reason to take yourself out of the fight...
[Iceheart] Eve: I don't know. When you guys all left during that Chronos fisaco, we needed more pilots.
[Dias] So who's mech did ya fly?
* DeathStar stands in the control room, enjoying the silence.
[Seraphna] Sarlen] And you came right up to the task...
[Iceheart] Eve: Sarlen's.
[Seraphna] Sarlen] We have a few standards... and she used my Bearclaw...
[Dias] Didn't trust Slashers' enough?
[Ripple] I didnt want to hurt Spirit with a Hyper rage..... It'd take alot to take me down if that happened...
[Snipe] Thanks, Slasher.
[Slasher] You'll be using the second prototype engine...it'll be based on more power output, lil less speed
* Wing moves back to the edge of the field
[Snipe] I can handle that,'
[Snipe] Well, if you'll excuse me...
* Snipe nods and wanders off
[Slasher] I knew you could. Dias will be gettin one for speed...your excused.
[Spirit^] I thought you might like to know....
[Spirit^] NRP: Rip said that to Grave
* DeathStar hits the comm button
[Dias] If ya want Eve, Slasher'd be glad to make you a mech.
[Iceheart] Eve: I...
*** Spirit^ has quit IRC (Connection reset by me)
[Iceheart] Eve: I'm just doing this part time, so, no thanks.
[DeathStar] Hey, Slasher? Can you come see me a moment?
[Dias] Just thought..I'd offer..
[Wiendigo] So stay off the Hyper.
[Slasher] Comm: Sure..*zooms out on his motorized chair still drawing as he goes*
[Iceheart] Eve: Thanks, really. *smiles*
* DeathStar waits around in the control room
[Gravedigger] So stay off the Hyper
[Dias] Anytime...
* Wing stands there, watching the stars
[Dias] So how ya been?
[Iceheart] Eve: I've been great, I guess.
[Ripple] Well... I'll see what the future brings.. but i'm going to pull myself off of the active duty list... I need some time to regroup... Spirits had some bad times....
[Seraphna] Sarlen] Part-time?
[Seraphna] Sarlen] Kiddo... you never realise your potential...
[Iceheart] Eve: ...
[Iceheart] Eve: Really?
* Dias glances at Sarlen and sighs...
[Seraphna] *Sarlen nodds
[Seraphna] Sarlen] I was gonna assign you the Ryo-Kos Grade 1...
[Iceheart] Eve: *looks intrigued* You think....I can...?
[Dias] ....*glares at the ground*
[Ripple] I think i'm going to take one last look at the command center.... I'll talk to you later Grave....
[Dias] ...I'm sorry if I'm interupting you to...*walks off, head down*
[Iceheart] Eve: Dias---
[Seraphna] *Sarlen sighs
* DeathStar stands in the darkness of the control room, eyes closed, thinking, waiting for Slasher
[Slasher] *zooms into the control room* You called master? *says it in a Igor like voice*
[Seraphna] Sarlen] I'll have a chat with him...
[DeathStar] Ah, Slasher.
[DeathStar] I need you to do me a favor.
[DeathStar] A big one.
* DeathStar opens eyes
* Ripple walks off toward the elevator
[Slasher] Sure I can handle it?
[Seraphna] Sarlen] and yes, I think you can... I know you can...
[DeathStar] Yes, I believe so.
[Iceheart] Eve: Thanks.
[Slasher] Then I'm game..*continues drawing not looking up*
[Snipe] Comm: *intercepts the call to DS*
[Gravedigger] Rip, I-*sighs*
* Gravedigger hangs his head
* Ripple turns back
[DeathStar] I need you to build me a ship like no other.
* Dias walks over to his mech, and opens the hatch, leaping into it
[Ripple] Speak your mind Grave.. I know this will bug you for a while...
[Slasher] May I ask what for?
* Slasher pulls out a notepad
[DeathStar] The Alliance.
[DeathStar] I want a ship built to be the flag ship of the fleet.
[Slasher] And specific needs you want on it?
[DeathStar] Yes. *hits a button and three races appear on the screen*
* Slasher looks up
[DeathStar] You'll recognize these technologies. Earth. Tsivrixsh. And Sera's race, where you just visited.
* Slasher shudders
[Gravedigger] No, nevermind. Do what you have to do.
* Ripple nods slowly
* Dias boots up the engine, it humming to life.
[Dias] Computer...diagnostic check.
[DeathStar] Earth's shields are superior to most. And size. Tsivrixsh's strength is superior in firepower. And they, they have superior speed and engines.

[DeathStar] Because, I've known you longer than them and I trust you.

[DeathStar] NRP: You can't op people, folks
[DeathStar] Because, I've known you longer than them and I trust you.
[DeathStar] Look at the mechs you've made.
* Slasher stands up
[Ripple] NRP: you cant op people who havent identified.
[Slasher] I'll do it, I don't know how the hell I'm gonna manage it. Combining three technologies is like trying to figure out how to cure Snipes crabs..
[DeathStar] ...don't ... mention that please.

* Scott sits down in one of the chairs and looks around.
* FinalJustice wanders in, quickly taking a seat.
[Seraphna] NRP: We spent all our money on grog!
* Fera fades into the room, staying near one of the back walls
[Dias] NRP GROG ME!
* Tau takes a seat that will allow him a good view of the proceedings, but isolate him from others
[Tau] NRP: Is this a table discussion, or lecture style?
*** FinalJustice is now known as Velyx
* Kiki a giant black, winged velociraptor wanders into the meeting hall and begins wandering toward the front
* Velyx did that rather.
* Wiendigo transplants in
* Wing doesn't sit, but stands next to the doorway
* Snipe sees the raptor
[Snipe] What---the hell---is that?
[Dias] NRP:Ooh oooh SPYDER!
* Elayne` leans into Snipe, resting her head on his shoulder
[Fera] [X2] Our medical situation.
[Snipe] .....why didn't you tell me it looked like that!
[Fera] [X2] I DID.
* Elayne` giggles
[Tau] that is the newest evolution of the medical situation
[Kiki] Looked like what?
[Tau] hmph
[Elayne`] It's okay John...
* Velyx would look like a repilian like creature as well.
[Scott] NRP: OOh! It's Aylee! ...]Well, not really.
* DeathStar leans against the stand, smirking
[Velyx] NRP: Pic on website.
* Snipe sees Velyx
[Snipe] Holy shit!

[Fera] NRP: Site's down
* Kiki begins walking over toward DS
* Velocity takes a seat, bored
* Tau leans back in his seat, sharpening his gunblade, checking the barrel...humming
* Iceheart sits down, in the back
[Scott] : hums some tune from a videogame quietly.
[DeathStar] Now, I know not all of you here today were with us for a long time...
* Dias turns to Ice and back at DS
[Ripple] NRP: USE /me!!!
[SOUND]
[Elayne`] *Sarlen comes in guiding Eve, then leading against the wall
* Fera taps his elongated, circuitral, clawed fingers together
[Iceheart] Eve: *looks around*
[DeathStar] It's been a long year, folks.
[Scott] NRP Sorry. I try to. Force of habit, you know. It works both ways, sometimes I use the wrongg command when I'm on MUCKs.
* Dias sits in the back row his head down
* Wiendigo spots Ice
* Tau opens up the main fire control unit and adjusts the wiring..."hmmm..."
[Elayne`] Sarlen *hushed* Shh... you're a part of this...
* Kiki leaps and begins trying a fluttering landing on DS's head
* Ripple warps to the door, in a bright purple flash, leaning on the frame
* DeathStar pats Kiki
[DeathStar] I don't know where all of you were during this year. I don't know what all you've seen or felt.
* Wing glances over to Ripple
[DeathStar] And I certainly don't know why all of you are here today.
[Elayne`] (BTW that was Sarlen talking to Eve)
* Tau replaces an old circuit with the slight "Zzzzzt" of a soldering iron
[DeathStar] NRP: Aye.
* DeathStar waves hand out
* Tau slams the cover shut quietly...
[DeathStar] And I'm quite sure I don't have all your attention.
* Tau straps it accross his back
* Velyx tilts his head
[Wiendigo] *fro mback* Damn straight!
* Slasher continues working diligently
[Seraphna] Same old group.. even with new faces...
* Kiki sits down, purched on DS's head
* DeathStar looks odd with a raptor on his head
* Velocity burst out laughing
* Tau taps the visor down on his helmet, wiring into the scanner systems
* Iceheart tries not to snicker

[Snipe] Sheesh, this is the leader of the Alliance here...
* Snipe cracks up
*** Wing has joined #taw
* Tau peers at each of the people in the room, trying ot gather info with his scanners
[DeathStar] Alright, I'll make this short before I let the party begin.
[Kiki] What... what'sss ssso funny?
* Scott looks at DS. "Hmm?" A smile starts to creep onto his face at the amusing sight.
* DeathStar looks at Kiki
[DeathStar] You...talk?
* Elayne` giggles
[Kiki] You... understand me?
* Snipe falls over laughing
[Fera] [X2] It's a long story...
[Elayne`] [You're learning fast Kiki!]
[DeathStar] ...you're a talking raptor....?
* Ripple 's info blurrs when Tau tries scanning
* Tau glares at the spectacle, "I don't see the humor..."
* Velocity slaps Tau on the back
[Velocity] 'cause you can't get your nose out of the sand.
* Lucas looks at Tau and Velocity
* Kiki looks down on DS
[Tau] UHB: hmm, unit Ripple, merits further analysis
[DeathStar] ...riiiight
[Kiki] You look a whole lot sssmaller
* DeathStar sighs
[Tau] WHat? did you address me?
* Wiendigo 's info gathered by Tau on him starts to give Tau an ever increasing headache
[Scott] ...This is an interesting place.
* DeathStar is a enigma to all scans
[Ripple] NRP: hee hee
[DeathStar] As I was saying.
[DeathStar] We're here to fight a war.
[DeathStar] A war against the Tsivrixsh.
[DeathStar] I don't know what brings you all here, but I want one thing to be certain.
* Scott How do you pronounce that?
[DeathStar] We're not doing this out of revenge.
* Scott listens.
[Tau] NRP: Like a sneeze (JK)
[Scott] NRP Erk! That shoulda been NRP.
[DeathStar] I don't want people going around with the attitude they can handle the world.
* Seraphna nodds
[DeathStar] And if you have a problem with your teammates, let your leader know.
[Wiendigo] NRP: BRB
[Ripple] Even though we used to be able to *smirks*
* Snipe grimaces
* Dias is scanned, his readings give out two seperate ones and are too messed up to understand
* Scott nods. .oO( 'sa big place, I sure can't handle the whole thing. )
[Seraphna] I'm doing this for my kids... not for useless and senseless revenge...
[Tau] .oO (who cares about a world, there is a whole galaxy out there?)
* DeathStar nods at Sera
* Elayne` grins
[DeathStar] I believe in that statement. We're fighting a univerisal conflict here.
[Tau] .oO(You are out there, and I will find you!)
[DeathStar] And I think you can't fight unless you have something worthy to protect.
[Velocity] Pfft.
[Elayne`] I'm just hear to make sure you all get patched up.
* Dias shakes head at that
[Velocity] I'm just here to end this damn thing.
* Ripple leans back, just listening
* Tau grinds his voice-box quietly in anger
[DeathStar] We've lost a lot of friends along the way...
[Elayne`] So I;m here for all of you...
[DeathStar] For the Special Unit, Avatar.
[Tau] UHB: Does protecting yourself count?
[DeathStar] For me, Slash. And for a lot of us....Garland.
[Dias] NRP: Guy in corner: NOT ME!!
* Elayne` , Sera, and Elayne all look down
*** DeathStar sets mode: +v Wing
* Scott .oO( Who's garland, I wonder? )
[Elayne`] *Sarlen pounds the wall gently in anger, almost creating a nice hole
[DeathStar] It's been a long year.
* Ripple glares at Scott
[Tau] .oO(does he ever stop, what is this?)
[Wing] ...
[DeathStar] And we've had a lot of .... deaths.
[Ripple] *straight into Scotts brain* [Watch what you think. There are more telepaths then you think.]
[Scott] NRP .oO() is my version of thought balloons.
[DeathStar] The chances of all you making it out of this alive....are lower than 30%.
* Scott blinks and looks around. .oO( ?! )
[Dias] Sounds like goods odds..
[Velocity] Pfft.
[Wiendigo] NRP: That's how we do it.
[Velocity] To an idiot,
[DeathStar] As for you new members.
* Tau glances at the chronometer on his buster
[Ripple] Bah.. Odds mean nothing.
* DeathStar grins evilly at Tau
[Seraphna] So.. better odds than at the devastator...
[Dias] That's me..
[Seraphna] I can live with that...
[Velyx] NRP: BRB
[Ripple] Odds are just numbers that people make up.
[DeathStar] I think you have a lot to learn about what being a hero is. And what being a soldier is. In the end, what being a teammate is.
* DeathStar grins at Ripple
[DeathStar] You know, I remember saying that myself.
* Ripple smirks
[Ripple] Great minds think alike.
[DeathStar] There's two teams here today. Most of you are going to join Snipe's unit, the Wraiths.
* Lucas is still looking down
[Tau] .oO(I don't want to be any of those things...what does he know about me? What was that look?)
[DeathStar] The Alliance is my team. We're gathering worlds, as many races out there, to defeat the Tsivrixsh.
[DeathStar] Dominator: *stands in the back*
[DeathStar] I won't be your leader.
[Elayne`] *Elayne and Lucas become very aware of Dominator
[Wiendigo] YES! WE'RE SAVED!
[DeathStar] Me, Dominator, Wiendigo, and Iceheart will probably not spend much time out there. Because we'll be fighting the majority of this war with soldiers.
* Iceheart whaps Wiendigo
[Wiendigo] Ow!
[DeathStar] So, what is your job?
* DeathStar looks at the remaining people
[Scott] NRP: So... which one is Slasher in?
[Wing] ...
[DeathStar] IF you choose to join the Wraiths...*waves hand out* Here's what you'll do.
* DeathStar steps down
* Snipe leaps onto the stage
[DeathStar] NRP: Wraiths
* Elayne` smiles
* Snipe waves
[Snipe] Howdy. I'm your leader.
* Kiki wabbles on his perch as DS walks
* Elayne` winks at John
* Velocity groans
* Gravedigger looks at Snipe with a hateful glance
* Wing looks at Snipe
[Tau] .oO(howdy?)
[Snipe] My name is John McCormick..
* Velyx looks at Snipe oddly.
* Dias looks up and smiles
[Snipe] My code name is Snipe.
[Snipe] As Death Star pointed out to us a week ago, we couldn't win this war as one unit.
* Tau ammends that in his data
[Snipe] So, the Alliance is going to fight the battles.
[Snipe] The Wraiths job, I've decided, is the cover op missions.
[Snipe] (covert)
[Snipe] I hope your skills in sneaking around are good.
[Seraphna] *TO DS ONLY* [Death Star, I'm with you all the way...]
[Snipe] Just blowing up things won't really reflect well when you're trying to sneak in.
* Ripple snickers
[DeathStar] [Thanks, Sera.]
[Ripple] But Blowing things up is so much fun *grins*
* Scott nods.
[Seraphna] .oO(As if we won't blow them up anyway...)
[Snipe] I know. Resist the urge. Don't listen to that man, newbies.
[Tau] .oO(thanks for the breaking and entering lesson...get to the point)
[Seraphna] Emily] [Yeah...]
* Ripple laughs
* Scott nodded to Snipe's statement, not Ripple's.
[Snipe] I'm going to drill you all hard.
[Scott] ...
[Snipe] You're going to regret having decided to be a Covert Op Wraith.
* Snipe grins
* Wing glares at Snipe, daringly.
[Snipe] But, in the end, we'll get the fun missions the alliance will never see. We get to sneak behind enemy lines and risk our lives constantly.
[Gravedigger] .oO(Some of us already have.)
[Tau] .oO(take your best shot)
* Velyx yawns.
[Dias] Will we be doing only Covert?
[Tau] NRP: BRB
[Snipe] Probably, Dias. We'll do what needs to be done that the Alliance can't do.
[Ripple] When that man grins, you'd better make sure you have damn good life insurance. *smirk*
[Dias] Good..
* Lucas looks down
*** Kain`Ashbone has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Kain`Ashbone
* Snipe looks around
[Lucas] I'm...
*** Kain`Ashbone is now known as GreyFox
[Snipe] All you new recruits....you're not technically part of the family yet.
[Snipe] You probably think I'm crazy.
* Scott listens....
* Scott shrugs.
[Snipe] Some of the veterns still do.
[Velyx] Aren't you?
* Snipe looksat Velyx.
[Snipe] Cute. I'll remember you.
[Elayne`] Sarlen] Oh he is... he'll even admit it...
* Fera screeches lightly to himself
[Snipe] Okay, so, I do stupid things.
* Snipe grins.
[Ripple] Yep. He's crazy alright. But one hell of a fighter.
[Snipe] But I'm going to ask everyone of you something. Starting with the newbies.
[Dias] All those blows he took to his head..
[Snipe] Why are you fighting?
* Snipe points at Tau
[Snipe] Why?
* Scott looks at Tau and listens.
[Ripple] NRP: hi.. i'm tau.. and i'm a drunken reploid... [Everyone else] Hi Tau!
[DeathStar] NRP: Tau's dead having the spotlight on him
[Seraphna] *Cricket chirps* ooc
[Slasher] It's done...*tosses the paper into his desk and quickly starts typing into his computer console making 3d designs of 'em
[Fera] NRP: No Tau for you! Next!
[Ripple] NRP: apparently
* Iceheart points at Scott
[Scott] NRP: That deerdroid in the headlights thing, huh...
[Snipe] You?
[Snipe] NRP: Snipe pointed
* Lucas looks at Scott
* Lucas runs a hand through the blonde spikes of his hair
* Snipe facefaults
[Snipe] For the love of God, SPEAK
* Scott looks at Snipe, then looks around. "Well..." He looks back at Snipe. "...They... the Tsivrixsh killed a lot of people... and... and I want to stop tthem from killing any more, and ruining anyone else's life."
[Wiendigo] *covers his mouth* You suck!
[Snipe] Thank you. I think you might make it here, Scott.
* Snipe points at Velyx.
[Snipe] You?
* Scott blinks. "...Really? Thanks..."
[Ripple] NRP: GYAHH *cough cough, snort gag* never inhale iced tea mix
* DeathStar leans back in his seat
* Seraphna looks over a few more forms, mainly the recruits flight forms...
[Velyx] To make sure no more suffer as others have because of the Tsivrixsh.
[DeathStar] GM: *the doors...open!*
[Snipe] Thank you.
* Snipe points at Wing
[Snipe] You?
* Wing crosses his arms, silent.
* GreyFox steps in, rifle over shoulder
* Scott looks at the doors.
* Velocity hisses
[Velocity] Someone is late.
* GreyFox looks around, "OK, whos party is this and why wasnt I invited!?"
* Scott takes a quick look at Greyfox, then looks back at Wing, waiting for his response.
[Wing] ...
[Snipe] ....
[Scott] NRP: Do we have donuts?
[Seraphna] Grey, sit...
[Snipe] You. Answer.
* GreyFox shrugs
* DeathStar makes motions to kill Greyt
* Dias glances at Eve, sighs, and turns back
[Wing] ....
* GreyFox walks over to a table and sits down
[Snipe] You guys are a barrel of fun
* Snipe points at Velocity
[Snipe] You...?
[Velocity] ....to have fun and blow things up
[Elayne`] Sarlen] *looks from Eve to Dias, and back again*
[Scott] ...
* Snipe head hits the stand
* GreyFox puts his feet upon the table, "Sooooooo, DS, did you get that info I asked for?"
[Snipe] This is going to be a loooooong year.
[Dias] NRP: Velocity: I'm nothing but a replactement for Wien...
* Scott .oO( Is that guy serious? )
[DeathStar] Yes, but I'll tell you later.
* Ripple finally pipes up
[Ripple] Was I actually fighting, I'd be fighting for my family. For Friends.
* GreyFox grins and pulls out a cloth and starts polishing his rifle, "I missed you.."
* Snipe looks up
[Ripple] Those very reasons are why I'm not fighting.

[Scooter] NRP: So... we're all back in the trainign room?

[GreyFox] Worried these guys are too willing to die for the cause DS?
[Dias] Long story..
* Garland looks at DeathStar, saying nothing.
[DeathStar] No, I'm worried a little that you'll all replay today.
[Scooter] ...
[Scooter] What do you mean?
[DeathStar] I didn't see much covert action.
[DeathStar] I mean, you all ran around, disorganized, the second your leader died.
[Seraphna] Elane] John...
[DeathStar] Grey got the idea of using Chip first, which was the right choice.
[GreyFox] I tried to pick up the lead..but they wouldnt listen to me.
[Snipe] Yes?
[Seraphna] Elayne] Lets just go somewhere...
* Scooter suddenly remembers to turn off his cloaker. "..."
[Slasher] Like the preverbial chicken with his head cut off
* Snipe nods
[DeathStar] You guys have to learn to keep your cool in situations and think plans through.
* Scooter nods.
[DeathStar] Because, one day, you'll find yourselves in a no-win situation, like today.
* DeathStar grins and walks out
[Dias] And not lock comrades in the engine room!! *glares at Grey*
* Velocity looks upset
[Velocity] Man, I'm a wimp
[Seraphna] *Lucas holds the sword looking at it
[GreyFox] I've gotta establish more of a base if you need a back-up leader, I can lead the team, but only if I've got support....*looks at Dias* Sorry, it sealed off on another command, I didnt mean to, and I opened it up as soon as I could.
[Garland] *lift two fingers off of his crossed arms* It's been over 200 years since I was in a battle like this.
* Scooter looks down. "..."
[Seraphna] *Sarlen puts a hand on his shoulder
[Seraphna] Sarlen] You'll learn...
* Snipe leads Elayne out of the room
[Gravedigger] Sorry for cutting your comm access, Grey, but you were giving up too easily.
* GreyFox lights up a cigerette and takes a long puff
[Dias] ....If you'll excuse me...*walks out the training room and towards the Mech bay*
[Velocity] ...you know, if Snipe ever leads us into here again, I think we should beat him up.
[Garland] El--... *sighs*
[Scooter] NRP: Have about 45 mins left...
[GreyFox] Yeah, well, I got that report from Chip, right before you turned off my access I was about to say the third engine blew, there was no chance the station would survive.
* Seraphna looks at Garland
[Seraphna] Gar... hun...
[GreyFox] Thats why I called the evacuate.
[Seraphna] She needs time...
* Velocity walks out
[Gravedigger] WAsn't about the station surviving.
[Slasher] I watced what happened...he was in there...he knew what happened.
*** Diamondback has left #TAW (I've no reason to be here...)
*** Velocity has quit IRC (Leaving)
* Fera fades out
*** Fera has left #taw
[Gravedigger] ...That guy creeps me out.
[GreyFox] What could we do? Die for no reason?
[Slasher] Dias and Grave didn't die for no reason.
[Garland] Sera.. get the kids, I want to have a family discussion...
[GreyFox] If we couldnt save the station, there was no point to be there...
* Seraphna nodds
[Slasher] IT's not about the station...we can get another one if need be...
[Seraphna] We'll be in our rooms
[GreyFox] If they would have followed the evactuate in the first place, we wouldnt have needed them there to protect us while we were escaping.
* Seraphna hugs him and walks out, Lucas walking up to Gar
* Garland puts on his cloak and walks out
* Garland looks at Luke
* Dias heads into the mech bay
[Garland] Luke?
[Gravedigger] We didn't need to evacutate in the first place, though.
* DeathStar stands by Dominator, both talking quietly.
* GreyFox stands and flicks his cigerette to the ground, stomping it out, "Just listen to reason next time and don't cut off communication between team-mates, no matter what."
[Gravedigger] We could've saved the station, we just didn't hit it right.
[Dias] Eve....
[Seraphna] *Lucas doesn't look up...
[Garland] What's wrong?
[Scooter] ...
[Seraphna] Lucas] Dad... I'm sorry...
[GreyFox] We didnt Grave? I told you, the third engine was blown with the hanger, the defense was down to far, at that point, there was NO way we could save the station.
[Gravedigger] In the beginning, had we acted right, we could have.
* Garland picks up up into his arms
[Garland] We'll talk about it when we get back, Son.
[GreyFox] But thats not what I'm saying, when I called the evacuate, it was appropriate.
[Gravedigger] I don't agree.
*** Rita has left #TAW
* Dias sits on the ground and leans against his mechs leg
[Garland] NRP: Picks him up, btw...
[GreyFox] Well don't agree, but there arent too many who are willing to die for this cause, and even less who want to WASTE their live for this cause.
* GreyFox walks off to his room
[Scooter] ...
[Slasher] I think he said you and Dias wasted your lives..
[Gravedigger] The nthey shouldn't be fighting at all.
* Garland heads to his room, pulling out a repaired comm
[Gravedigger] Eh, let him.
[Garland] Comm: Does this still work after all these years, old friend?
[Slasher] Grave..you could make a great leader someday ya know?
[Scooter] nrp: So who's still in the training room?
[DeathStar] Comm: Of course.
* DeathStar turns from Dominator, smiling
[Gravedigger] NRP: slasher and Grave, at least
[Gravedigger] Eh, maybe.
* GreyFox walks in his room and places his rifle upon its rack, then punches a wall with his metal hand as hard as he can, putting a large dent in it
[Slasher] Keep your head out of your ass and you'll be one step ahead of most of the team.
[Garland] Comm: I want to talk to you after I catch up with my family. I bet you're with Dad, tell him I said hi.
* GreyFox locks his door and hops on his bed, hand behind his head he dozes fitfully off to sleep
[DeathStar] Comm: Will do.
[Gravedigger] ...
[Gravedigger] Don't you have people to go pester?
[Slasher] No...*drops head*
* Seraphna sits in the room petting Emily, Jonas sits on her shoulder and Sarlen leans against a wall
[Gravedigger] ....
[Gravedigger] Hoookay.
* Garland looks at Sera
[Slasher] Anything you need added to your mech?
[Garland] It's good to be home.
[Slasher] I'll be over hauling all that want to be done..
[Gravedigger] Nah ,not right now.
[Gravedigger] I like it as is.
[Slasher] It's ugly..
* Seraphna smiles
[Gravedigger] So're you. But we keep your around.
[Seraphna] *Lucas and Emily tackle him
[Slasher] Oh har har har..*grabs Grave and gives him a nuggie*
[Gravedigger] Ack!
* Scooter turns to Grave. "Say... you wouldn't happen to know who Slasher is, wouldja? I heard he's a great engineer, so I'd like to meet him..."
