* Eve` scratches head
* Garland laughs
[Eve`] I honestly don't know anything.  You should ask, uh, Death Star or John.
[Garland] As long as they don't start calling their old man "Grandpa" I'm not too worried. 
[DeathStar] Chip: Death Star, calling all Death Stars, come to the control room.
* DeathStar shrugs
[DeathStar] Sorry, kids.
* DeathStar nods, teleporting.
[Seraphna] Airier] *looking at a datapad...* They're here... Chip! Announce incoming troops, 50 ships...

[DeathStar] Chip: What!?
[Kyouki] Hey, DeathStar!
[Kyouki] You remember, right?
* DeathStar is in the control room, not the hanger
[Seraphna] Airier] My... gift...
[DeathStar] Chip: ... nice gift.  Does it come in green too?

[BloodRiot] Seems solid enough...
[Kyouki] ...
* Eve` growls at BR
[Eve`] Of course it's solid enough.
* Garland looks at Sera
[Kyouki] Well, I've been out of it...
[SOUND]
[DeathStar] I can see that.
[Garland] So did Luke keep up with this works while I was out?
[Seraphna] Sarlen] They're the best damn mechs around...
* BloodRiot doesn't talk, just continues looking over things
[DeathStar] Snipe doesn't seem to be here right now, though, so you need to wait for him so you can sign up to his team.
* Seraphna nodds, "He... beat your record in my Guantlet 4 program..."
[DeathStar] Chip: Uh, yes, DS, that's what I needed tot alk to you about...*scans the ships* But ...all hell is breaking loose now.
[Kyouki] What happened to Grey and the others?
[DeathStar] I'm not quite sure.  They are all on Snipe's team.
[BloodRiot] Any ships around here...I'm not much of a mech pilot...
[DeathStar] I just got back here today.
[Garland] Heh heh... If my son want's to best his old man he'll have to wait till I'm 6 feet under. *grins*
[Kyouki] But they made it off okay.
[DeathStar] Chip: Well, yes, about Grey...
[DeathStar] Yes.
[DeathStar] I saw them a month ago.

[DeathStar] Chip: Nooo, they're 3 hours later.
[DeathStar] NRP: late.
[Kyouki] NRP: Yes, Hotaru's making a comeback. Sort of.
[DeathStar] Chip: *has stress in his voice, doing 10 different things at once*
* Eve` looks out the viewport, half-listening to Chip rattling over the entire intercomm system of the ship
[DeathStar] Chip: He asked me to scan these files he got from Spade.

[Garland] COMM: DeathStar, should I go check on the kids? *the tone shows he means Elly and them*
* Eve` looks at Saerin
[Eve`] I think something bad has happened.
[DeathStar] Comm: Stay put for now.  I need to make ends of all this.
[Seraphna] COMM] Should I mention I need Lord Airier to sign on the dotted lines?
[DeathStar] Chip: ... the d.... dotted...LINE!?
[DeathStar] GM: *Origin begins to power up it's laser guns*
[DeathStar] ...Chip, calm down...don't fry them.
[DeathStar] Chip: Shoot them!  I'll shoot them!
[Seraphna] Airier] Chip... thier shields are laser reflective...
[DeathStar] Chip: ...
[DeathStar] Chip: *powers down* I'll get you all for this dayt.
[Seraphna] Airier] You'll shoot us...
[DeathStar] ...
* Seraphna looks at DS as he enters the control room

[GreyFox] Then get behind the barricade
[Seraphna] Elayne] John!
[Velocity] GM: *Kyo is buried, buried deep in snow
* Snipe stands up, shivering
[Snipe] Seems...my jackets...thermo abilities...are dead.
* GreyFox pulls out a grenade
* GreyFox grins
* Snipe walks over to Grey
[Snipe] What...are..you...doing?
[GreyFox] ...go make that barricade
[Velocity] About to blow us up.
* GreyFox looks at the door
[Kyo`Yokuo] ....*struggles throught the snow*
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe dives behind a seat
* GreyFox plants the grenade at one corner, and plants another near the other corner
[Snipe] Elayne, whatever you do, don't move.
[Velocity] ...shiiit
* Velocity steps into the upside down suppy closet
* GreyFox puts a string on the two grenades pins, and gets behind a seat
[GreyFox] Plug your ears *pulls the pin and plugs his ears*
[GreyFox] NRP: Pins*
* Snipe puts his hands over his ears
[GreyFox] 3....2....1....
[Snipe] GM: *the explosion blows up the points and snow begins to pour in*
[Snipe] ...!
[GreyFox] Ok, now we move
[Snipe] Against THAT?!
[Kyo`Yokuo] ACK! *is pused into the snow harder*
* Snipe watches the snow slowly fill the shuttle
* GreyFox dives into the snow and starts trudging up
* Velocity leaps out and slides
[Velocity] Ack!
* GreyFox powerstrokes as hard as he can upwards
* Velocity tries to follow Grey
[Snipe] ...bakas
* Snipe grabs Elayne
[Snipe] If we don't move now, we'll be buried alive.
[SOUND]
* GreyFox slides back into the shuttle
[GreyFox] Um...one moment
[Snipe] What?
* Velocity slides back in
* GreyFox digs into his bag and pulls out the flamebomb
[GreyFox] Ok, go back to your hiding spots please
[Velocity] GM: *The snow has filled half the shuttle*
[Velocity] I can't..move!
[Snipe] A little late!
* Seraphna nodds
* GreyFox jerks Velocity out and throws him towards the closet
[GreyFox] Go to the back then.
* Velocity smashes inside it
* Kyo`Yokuo moves throught the snow again as he finds it reaaly hard to do, hoping he is almost out
[Snipe] ...you and me will be chatting...after...this
* GreyFox pulls the knob on the flamebomb and tosses it at the snow, then dives behind the cockpit seats
[Snipe] GM: *Kyo finally emerges, on top of the snow, in the valley*
* Snipe slides behind them, pulling Elayne in
[Kyo`Yokuo] Wow... That was a bit of a walk *tries his comm to Snipe* Snipe i made it out
[GreyFox] 3...2...1...
[Snipe] Comm: ~~~~~~~~~~.
* GreyFox covers his ears
[GreyFox] Oh, plug your ears
* Snipe weakly grimaces
[SOUND]
[Kyo`Yokuo] Comm: Snipe, Elayne, Velocity, GreyFox? anyone, Come in!
[Snipe] GM: *a wave emerges and begins to melt the snow at a rapid pace*
[Snipe] GAH!
* GreyFox tries to think of a nice island paradise
[Snipe] GM: *however, due to the sheer amount of snow, more begins to pour in as the old melts*
[GreyFox] Just try and picture it like a sunburn....a painful sunburn....
* GreyFox looks out
[Snipe] Yeaaaah!
[GreyFox] Great.
[GreyFox] Lets just move
[Snipe] Right.
* GreyFox starts going again at the snow
* Snipe grabs Elayne and dives out just as the snow fills half the shuttle again
[Kyo`Yokuo] Comm: HELLO!?
* Velocity dives out
[Velocity] Comm: ~~~~~~
[Seraphna] Elayne] *is unconcious*
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs and starts to digg his way back in towards the shuttle
* Snipe finally emerges, panting like a mad man, pulling Elayne out of the snow
* Snipe lays her down on top of it
* Velocity digs his way out, spitting out snow
* Kyo`Yokuo stops and looks ar Snipe "You ok?"
[Velocity] I'm cold...I'm very cold.
* Snipe glances at Kyo weakly, his vision blurring
[Snipe] Yeah...unfortantly, we won't be fine for long.
* Kyo`Yokuo slides over to them
* GreyFox sits on the snow, with his pack in hand
* GreyFox starts munching on a ration, "Breakfast anyone?"
[Snipe] With no supplies to speak off....and our shuttle broken, our only hope is that one shuttle up on top of the mountain.
* Snipe points weakly up at the towering mountain
* GreyFox hits Snipe with a military Ration
[Snipe] But we'll freeze to death shortly.
[GreyFox] Hey, moron boy, rations...
* GreyFox holds up his sack
[Snipe] That's not going to help us, Grey.
* Snipe stands up and aims his gun at him
[Kyo`Yokuo] Snipe... I don`t think a Reploid
[Snipe] And....if you don't start...showing some respect for your teammates, I'm going to shoot you.
[Kyo`Yokuo] can frezz to death*
* GreyFox finishes his rations and starts trudging up the mountain, his thermal suit working
* Velocity stands up and shakes his head
[Velocity] True, you can't technically freeze to death, but you'll wear down sooner or later too.
[GreyFox] I'll be back.
[Snipe] No, Grey, YOU stay here.
* Snipe turns to Elayne, Kyo, and Velocity.
* GreyFox tosses Snipe his pack
[GreyFox] Look, either we stay here and die, or one of us tries to get to the shuttle.
[Snipe] Grey, that's an order.
* GreyFox takes off his thermal suit
* GreyFox hands it to Snipe
[Snipe] I will shoot you if you attempt to leave this group.
[GreyFox] Look, I quit then, I'm not letting you all die.
[Snipe] You'll die, then WE'll die, if you leave.
[GreyFox] Its better if we try.
[Snipe] I won't have you acting against orders.
[Snipe] Oh, we're going to try.
* GreyFox turns and faces the towering mountain.
[Snipe] But we have to formulate a team plan.
* Snipe takes the jacket and puts it around Elayne
[Kyo`Yokuo] Snipe, i`m a reploid...
[Snipe] I know that, Kyo, but there's more harsh elements here than just the snow and cold.
* Snipe points up
* Kyo`Yokuo looks and thennods "yea... you are right"
[Snipe] That's going to take everything we have to climb.  I don't know if you guys noticed it yet, but the only thing we have working, is our weapons.  Slowly, they are running out of energy too.
[Snipe] Something here is draining whatever weapons/abilities we have.
[Snipe] My rifle is down 30%.
* GreyFox takes his pistol and tosses it to Snipe
* GreyFox drops his rifle
* Snipe misses it
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at his left arm "Umm... i don`t think my arm is"
* Velocity checks a few things
[Velocity] My saber is running low, but my rifle is fine right now.
* GreyFox starts running up the mountain, knife in his mouth
* Snipe shoots at Grey's leg, not intending to miss
* Kyo`Yokuo chescks himself "My intrual wepons are fine, but longcolt is empty" =/
* GreyFox jumps up and left
* GreyFox turns around and flings his dagger at Snipe's head, not intending to miss either
* Snipe takes this into account with his second shot, which he fired second after his other
* Snipe counters with knocking the knife to the side with his rifle
* GreyFox rolls to the ground
* Snipe aims at Grey again, firing off three shots, all in a circular motion
* Velocity watches, amazed
[Velocity] Are you two mad?!
* GreyFox rolls left and jumps right to miss the shots
* Snipe aims at Grey again, finger on the trigger
[Snipe] If you go, you'll be taking our chances of survival down by too great a risk.
[Kyo`Yokuo] STOP!
[Snipe] Elayne's out cold.  I'm going to be useless soon.
[Snipe] Alone and divided, we have NO chance.
* GreyFox pulls the other knife out of his boot, takes it up with his right hand, and pulls the grenade off his belt with his other hand
[Kyo`Yokuo] Well i have a med kit on me, Snipe
[Velocity] ...
* Velocity looks between them
[Velocity] Uh, Kyo, they don't seem to be paying attention to us
[SOUND]

* GreyFox comes up and roundhouses at his neck
* Snipe blocks with his arm
* Snipe punches, but moving slower now, the cold getting to him
[Snipe] I won't let you endanger them!
* GreyFox jumps off his other foot and sends his other leg flying at Snipe's head
* Snipe ducks
* Velocity grabs his rifle
* GreyFox moves his leg into a necklock around snipes neck
[Velocity] Well, well, what should I do?
* Snipe throws the grenade below Grey
* GreyFox slowly starts moving, "You'll let me leave...or we both die..."
* Kyo`Yokuo starts to read what he should do to help Elayne come back "Ah" does what the thing says and waitsfor her to come around
* GreyFox grabs the grenade with his free hands, and unscrews the spark pin
[GreyFox] Not smart John...
* Snipe kicks at Grey
[Snipe] I'm not here to blow us both up
[Seraphna] Elayne] Huh?
* GreyFox blocks with his free hand
* Snipe leaps up and punches
[SOUND]
[Snipe] GM: *the wind blows, the temperature dropping rapidly*
[Kyo`Yokuo] You ok?
* GreyFox jumps up and screws back in the plug, throwing it at Elayne, giving Snipe either the time to go after it, or keep hitting at Grey and watch her die.
* Snipe does something unexpected

[DeathStar] Time Chart: 10 minutes after last Origin part
[DeathStar] Location: Bridge of one of the new ships
* DeathStar checks over a few controls
[DeathStar] Comm: Wiendigo, you think you can handle things over here while we're gone?
[Seraphna] *Airier has somehow ended up in the corner, he looks over his rifle
[Gravedigger] Comm: Eh.
*** Jago has quit IRC ("Beware the wrath of a quiet man." -- Chinese Proverb)
* Garland stands there, his arms crossed
[DeathStar] Chip: Alright, you're cleared to take off.  Are you sure you don't need any of the other Wraiths to go?  Dias is pretty much demanding to go.
[DeathStar] Comm: No, we're fine.  I'm sure we have enough for a rescue mission
* DeathStar throws down the comm and looks at Garland'
[DeathStar] You think if I leave Wiendigo in charge, Origin will still be here when I get back?
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] I guess, technically, I'm not a Wraith at the moment...
* Seraphna pouts, sitting on a random mech, "An dey allus put me in front lines in teh old days!"
[Garland] No.
[DeathStar] Eve: *stands near Sera* You're not the only one left out these days.
[Seraphna] Airier] I doubt it...
[Garland] Well..
[Garland] It might be here, but the crew won't.
* Seraphna looks to Eve and nodds
[DeathStar] Alright, roll call.  *looks around the bridge* Okay, if you're here, say, OK.
[Seraphna] I believe we haven't properly met... Eve right?
[Seraphna] Airier] OK...
[DeathStar] Eve: *nods, smiling* Seraphna, correct?  
[DeathStar] Chip: *who's listening in on the channels* ... ok?  What kind of get go is THAT?
* Seraphna nodds
[SOUND]
[Seraphna] Hmm... You're thee one who bonded with a virus of some sort?
* DeathStar glares at the comm. and flips it off
[DeathStar] Alright, enough from him.
[DeathStar] Eve: DNA.
[DeathStar] Alright, *looks over at the pilot of the ship* Uh, you, send us into hyperspace.
[Gravedigger] NRP: Nude mude wrestling!
[Seraphna] Ah!
[Gravedigger] NRP: Mud, even.
[GreyFox] NRP: WOO!
[DeathStar] Chip: Bloodriot....stay away.  What the hell are you doing?
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] As long as it wasn't the maverick virus...
* Garland yawns, leaning against the wall
[Seraphna] Sarleen is always mumbling something or otheer about you
[DeathStar] Eve: Oh?
[Seraphna] Aye
[GreyFox] NRP: (note to self, get DS to put in a nude mud wrestling segment featuring the girls of taw, end note)
[DeathStar] Pilot: *complies, sending the ship into hyperspace, away from those on Origin.  We're not focusing on the group going on the rescue mission*
[DeathStar] NRP: You should have been here for Ladies' Night.
* DeathStar sits down in the captain's chair
[DeathStar] NRP: Now focusing.
[Seraphna] NRP: Blink
[DeathStar] NRP: I phrased that wrong.  ^_^.  We're not focusing on those on Origin.
[Seraphna] NRP: Hehe
* DeathStar looks at a few maps'
[DeathStar] I still don't get why Snipe picked this planet for a vacation spot.
[Seraphna] Airier] Snow right?
[DeathStar] Yeah, plenty of it.
[Seraphna] Airier] It's a little rec activity called skiing
[Garland] (Whooo... I can juggle.. but not well..)
[DeathStar] ...people actually do that?
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] Why not?
[DeathStar] Why not what?
[Seraphna] Airier] DS... stop playing with thier heads...
* DeathStar blinks his one eye
* DeathStar waves Gravedigger over
[Seraphna] Airier] *grins in satisfaction* You know as well as I it was reeally for an oppurtunity to get his fieoncie in ski-pants...
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
[DeathStar] ...I'll refrain from commenting right now.
[Seraphna] Airier] *sighs* Yeah whatever... *takes out a cigar and lights it
[DeathStar] Gravedigger, come over here.
[Seraphna] Airier] *calls out something in aother language to the pilot, who laughs and replies earnestly
* DeathStar decides not to acknowledge that
[Gravedigger] Yeah?
[DeathStar] You know Snipe the best out of those present here.  *points at the map* If he suddenly stopped contacting Chip like he was suppose to do every 3 hours, what do you think happened?
* Garland looks deep in thought
[Gravedigger] Situation came up where he wouldn't be able to. Could be unconscious.
[DeathStar] What do you think he'd most likely do in the situation?
[DeathStar] NRP: In reality, try to mow down Grey for disobeying him, but hey..
[Gravedigger] Try to get off the planet, or setup something where a rescue party would notice him.
* DeathStar shifts through the maps
[Garland] We'll find them.
[DeathStar] We don't even know where they landed.
[DeathStar] If I had a vague idea on where to look.
* DeathStar stands up
[Gravedigger] Couldn't we track the shuttle's emissions or whatever they give off?
[Seraphna] Airier] DS... he's a hunter in his heart...
[Seraphna] Airier] Look for thee damn explosions...
* DeathStar acknowledges Grave first
[DeathStar] Assuming that the shuttle is still operational?  Yes, we can follow a beacon
* DeathStar turns to Airier
[DeathStar] If he was blownig up things on shakey snowcaps, heaven help us all.
[DeathStar] I'm going to go run some what if tests.  I'll be back shortly,
* DeathStar walks out briefly
[DeathStar] NRP: BRB, bathroom.  You guys keep RPing.
[GreyFox] NRP: *Jojo, the dancing chimp comes out to entertain while he is away*
[GreyFox] NRP: [JoJo] EE EE EE *juggles bottles of pickles while dancing up and down to the tune of an accordian*
[Gravedigger] NRP: *silently eats his mini-frosted wheats*
[GreyFox] NRP: [JoJo] *is killed by homie the clown* [Clown] Homie don't play that!
[Gravedigger] NRP: Homey.
[DeathStar] NRP: ...back
[GreyFox] NRP: wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[GreyFox] NRP: *sits, staring blankly at the screen*
[DeathStar] NRP: Yeah...I see you guys hold a conversation well if I leave...
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] Right.

[Velocity] GM: *the mountain begins to shake*
[Snipe] ---?!
* Snipe looks around
[Elayne`] Huh?
[Kyo`Yokuo] ?!?! *looks around as he slides down next to them*
* Velocity falls to the ground, his rifle sliding off the edge of the mountain
[Velocity] ---dammit!
[Kyo`Yokuo] Shit...
* Snipe grabs Elayne
[Snipe] Up the slope, but becareful.  Don't fall off!
[Kyo`Yokuo] Umm... i think i`m the only one with weapons now.. *graps a rock that is somewhat out of the snows surface*
* Velocity works his way up the slope, sliding from the skaing
[Velocity] *shaking even
[Velocity] Thanks...for the wonderful...VACATION!
[Snipe] Anytime!
[Elayne`] EEP!
* Snipe runs up the slope
* Kyo`Yokuo stands up and starts up to the slop "Snipe, need some help geting up this?"
[Kyo`Yokuo] I guess not..
[Snipe] I'm fine!
[Elayne`] John...
[Snipe] .oO (Side only burns a little...ow)
[Snipe] Yes?
* Kyo`Yokuo follows behind him
* Velocity reaches the top in a dive
* Snipe notes the slop seems to be cracking
[Snipe] ----
* Snipe dives onto the top
[Elayne`] You'ree hurt...
[Elayne`] Let me change back and I can fix that up...
[Snipe] You don't have the abilities anymore.
[Kyo`Yokuo] On crap...
* GreyFox waves to the nice people, "Took you guys long enough..."
[Kyo`Yokuo] *Oh 
[Elayne`] Abilities?
[Snipe] GM: *the slope shatters*
[Snipe] ...!
* Snipe reaches out to grab Kyo's hand
* GreyFox stands, having been at the top for a good 20 minutes now
[Elayne`] Its no ability John... I was born like this
* Kyo`Yokuo takes it "thanks"
* Snipe pulls Kyo up
[Snipe] That's just it Elayne.
[Snipe] Natural or not, your powers WILL fade the more you use them.
* Snipe turns to her
[Snipe] That fire and ice you did.  It's not going to work a second time.
* GreyFox walks up to Snipe from behind, and taps him on the back, "May I have my sack back?"
[Snipe] I can't tap into my natural immunity to psionics.  Meaning, if we had the ability to use psionics here, I'd hear you through them.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Grey.. how the hell did you get up here?
* Snipe slams the sack into his gut
* GreyFox smiles
* Velocity pants
* Elayne` blinks
[Elayne`] You mean I'm... STUCK?
[Velocity] GM: *the shaking has stopped and snow begins to fall*
* GreyFox turns around and shoulders his sack, secretly grinning, "Just a little trick I learned once.."
* Elayne` looks worried
[Snipe] Not exactly.  You might have enough power to change one more time.
* GreyFox walks forward a few steps, "So, are we going to try and get off this rock?"
* Elayne` nodds
* GreyFox tosses Kyo his med kit, "Oh, and thanks for that, it helped."
[Snipe] Whatever this planet is doing, it's stripping us down to nothing but brute strength.
* Snipe stands up
* GreyFox turns to Snipe, "No wonder I survived."
[Kyo`Yokuo] Your welcome, puts it away
[Snipe] Funny.
[Snipe] We have to decide right now.  Are we going to work together and survive?
[Snipe] Or become divided and die?
[Velocity] ...
[GreyFox] Depends on what we are doing.
* Snipe points up the towering mountain they've only just begun to climb
[Snipe] We're going to help each other up that mountain and pray to God our second shuttle is intact.
[Snipe] We're not going to survive waiting for help to come.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Welp... Lets keep it going..
[Velocity] Yeah...lets do this.
*** Alysia has joined #TAW
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alysia
* Kyo`Yokuo starts again at the slop of the moutains face
[Elayne`] I probably have enough firee left for a few good fires
[GreyFox] I've made it this far, wounded, and I'm not even out of breath, I'll go with you people, but just remember John, sometimes working together might not be the best option *turns around, and starts up the slope*
[Gravedigger] NRP: Divide and die!
* Velocity follows
*** Megami has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Alysia)))
* Snipe turns to Elayne
*** Alysia is now known as Megami
[Snipe] You use too much of your fire ability, you might not be able to change back.  It's a give and take.  I have one trump card up my sleeve this planet hasn't taken from me yet.
* Snipe bends down and scoops her up
* Snipe runs after the others

[DeathStar] Location: Ship's Hanger
* DeathStar stands there, looking at the planet below him
[Garland] Elayne...
[Garland] I'll find you.
[Elayne`] *Airier is inspecting some of thee Phenixarian mechs on the ship
* DeathStar seems to be scanning it
[DeathStar] There's something....wrong about this place.
* DeathStar turns to Garland
[Gravedigger] Can you find any siezmic disturbances?
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] (sounding different) You're telling me?
* DeathStar loooks at Grave
[DeathStar] There's a shuttle still operational.  But I can't pick up anything else.  No lifesigns, nothing.
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] Let's hope they're not dead...
[DeathStar] ...
* DeathStar points at Garland
[DeathStar] We're only sending one team down there.  No sense in putting too many lives on the line.
[Gravedigger] We should try to keep an eye out for activity. I mean, let's remember who we're dealing with here..
[DeathStar] Who all wants to go on the away team?
* Gravedigger takes out his shovel.
[Gravedigger] I'll go.
[DeathStar] Okay, so - Me and Grave?
* Gravedigger looks around
[Gravedigger] ...Looks that way..
[DeathStar] Lets go, 'Digger.
[Elayne`] Airier] Count me in...
* DeathStar steps into the shuttle
[Gravedigger] Better late 'n never.
[Elayne`] Airier] These meechs aree equipped for Snow DS...
* Gravedigger gets in
[DeathStar] We have one good pilot down there and a second decent mech pilot
[DeathStar] If they couldn't fly out of there, do you think a team of mechs could?
[Elayne`] *Airier shakes his head and walks in, "you have one decent mech pilot, and two good pilots..."
* DeathStar slams the door shut to the shuttle
[DeathStar] If you want to attempt to fly it in a mech, go for it.
[Elayne`] *Airier is in thee shuttle
[Gravedigger] It's probably not a good idea, anyway.
* Garland crosses his arms
[Elayne`] *Airier lights a cigar, "Come now... lets get going DeathStar..."
[DeathStar] .oO (I won't add that I only trust my piloting skills when it comes down to it, since I can only depend on myself when it comes to flying.  I learned that when I led the Hunters 20 years back)
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] I've never flown a mech. I'm just a fighter.
* DeathStar lifts the shuttle off
[Garland] NRP: Sorry guys, there's a lot going on right now.. I'm here now.
[Elayne`] *Airier if looked out closely with thee cigar, ears both reesemblance to DS and SPADE BTW...
[SOUND]
[DeathStar] Alright, *scans the planet* If I'm right, this planet will begin to drain the resources from this shuttle instantly.
[DeathStar] Due to some storm going on the surface.
[DeathStar] We're not going to make it far before we plummet.
* DeathStar pulls a lever
[Elayne`] Airier] And DS... those Hunters 20 years abck saved your ass too much to remember right? That's why the dependancy?
[DeathStar] Computer: Warning, hyperspace drive engaging.  Proximity to the planet too close
[DeathStar] Because when flying, they lives where in my hand.  It's different than the ground.
[DeathStar] NRP: their
[DeathStar] GM: *shuttle groans as it's mini hyperspace drives are being activated*
[SOUND]
[DeathStar] Computer: Warning, destruction 99.9% chance
* DeathStar flips the computer off
[DeathStar] Alright, Grave, you've never seen this little manuever I'm about to do, but I did it many times back in "the day".
[Gravedigger] ...Grreeeeaaatt...
[DeathStar] Everyone ready?
[Elayne`] *Airier just grins
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] 99.9% chance?
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm going to die again...
[DeathStar] What I'm about to do is leap into hyperspace, flip it off as soon as we hit the atmosphere, and then let us nose dive at an incredible speed.
[DeathStar] I blew up more shuttles this way.  *chuckles*
[SOUND]
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] That's crazy.
* DeathStar pulls the lever all the way down
[Gravedigger] ....Anyone remember a parachute? Anyone..?
[DeathStar] GM: *the shuttle leaps into hyperspace*
* DeathStar flips the lever back up
[DeathStar] GM: *it slams into the atmosphere, blowing out the shields*
[DeathStar] GM: *Alarms go off*
* DeathStar pulls the shuttle into a spin as it goes flying through the air*
[Garland] I love this part of the game.
[DeathStar] It's been so many years since I've done this...awww, the memories.
[SOUND]
[DeathStar] NRP: The classic shuttle crash music of TAW
* DeathStar begins to pull the plummenting shuttle upward
[DeathStar] Alright, sensors are down...power's draining rapidly.
* DeathStar scans, but fails
[DeathStar] ---what?
[DeathStar] My own scanners aren't working?
* DeathStar grimaces
[Gravedigger] Okay, so we're screwed..
[DeathStar] No, no, we're not
* DeathStar points
[Garland] Only screwed if we say we are.
[DeathStar] There's the shuttle.  *A half-buried shuttle can be seen on top of the mountain*
[DeathStar] Of course, at this speed, we'll...overshoot it.
[DeathStar] Dammit
* DeathStar slams their own shuttle into a further nose dive, which will cause a crash and an explosion
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] *braces for impact*
[Elayne`] *Airier has alreeady leaped out, landing near thee shuttle
* Garland yawns
* DeathStar pulls up, bouncing off the ground
[Gravedigger] Pleasesnowbankpleasesnowbankpleasesnowbankpleasesnowbankpleasesnowbank!
[Elayne`] NRP: Airier no likes being subject to his clones crashing techs
[DeathStar] GM: *the shuttle soars momentarily and then comes crashing back down, sliding through the snow towards the mountain's edge
[Gravedigger] ...eep.
[SOUND]
[DeathStar] GM: *it comes to a grinding halt right at the edge*
[DeathStar] ----no one move.
* DeathStar peers out the window at the valley --- far, far below
[Elayne`] *Airier inspects thee shuttle
[Elayne`] Airier] Empty... hmm...
* DeathStar leans back, getting comfortable
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] *doesn't move*
[Garland] So who want's to grab a drink after this?
[DeathStar] GM: *shuttle sways back and forth*
[Garland] You know, the movies are wrong..  We just need to shift the weight to the back of the shuttle...
[SOUND]
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] Right... *heads to the back of the shuttle*
* Garland glares at Kyouki
[Gravedigger] Uh, unless the ledge under us breaks because of the added weight...
[DeathStar] Shuttle: *shifts more now that someone moved*
* DeathStar looks up
[DeathStar] Oh...dear.
[Garland] And provided we don't just get up and move to the back...
[DeathStar] GM: *shuttle plummets over*
[Garland] He're the fun part..
[DeathStar] GM: *shuttle begins to fall at a rapid pace*
[DeathStar] ....
* DeathStar turns and pulls a lever to open the door
[Gravedigger] ...What was that about not being screwed?!
[DeathStar] GM: *door half-ways opens*
[DeathStar] ...
* DeathStar turns back to the window
[DeathStar] Now---now be worried.
[DeathStar] GM: *the shuttle slams face first into a jutting out cliff's edge, crumbling in*

[Velocity] Carrying me will kill us both
* Snipe looks around
[GreyFox] I can drag you along the ground easily.
* Snipe looks over the edge, the valley far, far below
[Kyo`Yokuo] Here, why don`t i then..
[Velocity] ...
* Velocity stands up, wavering
[Velocity] Even reploids wear down, Kyo
* Velocity points at Grey
[Kyo`Yokuo] I know..
[Velocity] And I'd rather not be dragged to death.

[Elayne`] John?
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at them "I think we need some food.. that may help"
[Snipe] There is no stopping!  YOU GOT THAT!?
* Snipe looks at them all, panting
[Snipe] WE WILL NOT DIE HERE!
* Kyo`Yokuo pulls out his med pack, hoping Grey didn`t eat the bit of food he had in there
[Velocity] ...
[Elayne`] John?
* Velocity stumbles forward, still moving on
* GreyFox pulls out a military ration from his pack and tosses it to Velocity
* Snipe calms down

* Velocity grabs it weakly
[Elayne`] Do you think our power is gone forever?
[Snipe] ...
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at Grey and smirks a bit, puting his pack away again
[GreyFox] Eat that...*pulls out a flare and melts some snow into his glove, then hands it to Velocity* Drink that...
[Snipe] The longer we stay, the longer it could be.
* Velocity eats it slowly, then drinks it
* Velocity coughs
[Velocity] Thanks.
* Snipe pats Elayne's head
[Snipe] We have to keep moving
[Snipe] NRP: *realizes this session has been going on for over 3 hours*
[Gravedigger] NRP: ...it HAS?

[Garland] NRP: Count part one.
* Snipe stumbles forward, panting hard
* GreyFox sighs, continuing to walk forward
* Velocity moves along
[SOUND]
* Snipe stops when he sees a towering 30 meter climb
[Kyo`Yokuo] Well, this sucks..
[Velocity] ...
[Velocity] No making slopes this time.
* Kyo`Yokuo looks for foot and hand holes
[Snipe] GM: *it's climbable, but it'll be rough*

[GreyFox] I've got 2 more grenades...eesh
* Snipe grips the side of the wall, pulling himself up
* Kyo`Yokuo starts to climb
* Snipe tries not to let Elayne slip, but is finding it difficult
* Elayne` looks out and around, looking in thee distance at where they crashed
[Velocity] ...I think God is trying to tell us something.  "Give up".
* GreyFox climbs, numbing the pain in his body with his will power
* Velocity pulls himself up slowly
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at Snipe "You ok?"
[Snipe] GM: *suddenly a streaking light is seen far, far overhead*
[Snipe] F-Fine.
* Kyo`Yokuo looks up "what the hell was that?" tries to scan it
* Elayne` gasps
* Elayne` blinks
* Velocity pants
[Elayne`] It looked like... something going into hyperspace...
[Snipe] Gee, who'd be stupid enough to do that in a planet's atmosphere?
* Snipe pulls himself up some more
* GreyFox looks up, "Perhaps the cavelry has arrived..heh.."
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs "damn.."
* Elayne` giggles
[SOUND]
[GreyFox] A few people come to mind...*coughDScough*

* Snipe pulls himself up further
* GreyFox reachs the top and looks down, "Nothing el capitain
* Velocity is lagging behind, but still going up
[GreyFox] "
[Elayne`] Mom told me about a few times DS did that kinda thing
[Snipe] Well, if it's DS, we're saved.  If it's some idiot playing around, we're doomed.
* Kyo`Yokuo pulls himself up next to Snipe, he looks ahead seeing an area with almost no places to hold "shit.. let me ahead Snipe"
* Snipe shifts to the side
[Snipe] Go on.
* GreyFox looks down below at the people still coming, and shouts "Velocity!! You need me to throw you a rope!?"
[Velocity] *muttering* Kiss my ass.  *loudly* No, thanks.
* GreyFox falls backward onto the snow, panting a bit before the others get up
[Snipe] GM: *a low growl can be heard behind Grey*
[GreyFox] *muttering as he looks backwards*..what..in THE HELL?
[Kyo`Yokuo] Thanks *moves ahead and moves his left arm into the lasers, he makes small holes into the parts of the ice wall, that have no place to hold onto. he then climbs it, and over the top "There"
* Elayne` sniffs teh air, blinking
[Snipe] Strange Bear: *roars, having many sharp horns coming from it's body*

[Snipe] GM: *the cliff edge is too steep to "dive".  Kyo will bounce off into the valley if he tries*
[Snipe] GM: *dares you to try*
[GreyFox] I think I'll climb down and see if I can help him up..
* Snipe hangs onto a small 2 foot wide jut
[GreyFox] Kyo, gimme that laser thingy
[Kyo`Yokuo] Its part of my arm
* Kyo`Yokuo holds up his left arm
[Velocity] ...rip it off?
[Kyo`Yokuo] ...
[GreyFox] That might work.
[Kyo`Yokuo] I is my arm!
[GreyFox] We can always reattach it later..*starts walking towards Kyo with a grin*
[Velocity] I was kidding!
[GreyFox] *grins evilly* I wasn't.
[Velocity] Erk
[GreyFox] Kyo...I suggest you numb your arm area, and have that med kit ready, this is going to hurt me alot more then its going to hurt you..
[Velocity] If you do that, he might not making it the rest of the way up
[GreyFox] The med kit can repair and seal up the wound.
[Snipe] .oO (It's cold...really...cold...sleepy)
[GreyFox] *yelling down* SNIPE HOLD ON IF YOU DIE I SWEAR I'M GOING TO FIND YOUR CORPSE AND PISS ON IT!
[Kyo`Yokuo] Umm.. no. moves away from Grey. I`ll just go down there... *tuens into a bird and flies over Grey and down the cliff to where Snipe is*
[Velocity] Aren't you just nice and cool?  Why don't you make sure you can even use it on the cliff edge's first?
[Kyo`Yokuo] NRP: *turns
[Snipe] GM: *Kyo is unable to morph*
* Velocity checks his saber, seeing it's dead
[Kyo`Yokuo] Damnit! *back away from Grey even more
[GreyFox] Ok, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, Kyo, fire onto that rock face with the laser and see if it works
* Velocity chucks it away
[Velocity] My saber died out.
[Velocity] Even our weapons are draining fast.
[SOUND]
[GreyFox] Kyo, you don't have the strength in your arms to climb down that far, either you give me that arm of yours, and let me do it, or we can sit here and watch John die.
* Velocity gingerly climbs over the edge to go down, but the rocks crumbles, pieces falling at Snipe
[GreyFox] But, I'll let you try, but if you get stuck down there you're both dead, so, choose wisely
[Velocity] Dammit, the rock edge is too weak.
[GreyFox] Hmm...
[Snipe] OW! HEY!  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING!?  DON'T COME DOWN HERE!
* GreyFox looks at the rock face
* GreyFox looks at the rope
* Snipe swings
* GreyFox grabs the rope and unties it
[Snipe] LOOK, KEEP GOING GUYS!
* GreyFox pulls the rope up
[Snipe] I'LL HANG OUT HERE FOR YOU.
[Kyo`Yokuo] No.. now this time.. 
* GreyFox grabs a nice big hard rock off the ground and ties it to the end of his rope
[Kyo`Yokuo] *Not
[Velocity] ...
* Velocity kneels over the edge and looks down
[GreyFox] Velocity, please escort Kyo and Elayne up the mountain
[Kyo`Yokuo] ....
[Snipe] ...*seems to sense what's going on*
[Snipe] GREY, YOU DAMN WELL BETTER GET THEM OUT OF HERE!
[Snipe] THAT'S AN ORDER!
* GreyFox starts swinging the rope quickly and lets it drop over the edge, banging it into the cliff face, make a foothold
[GreyFox] making* even
* Snipe caculates the cliff's edges and rocks and knows Grey can't make it back up if he does this
[Snipe] ...dammit
[Snipe] GREY, GO BACK..NOW!

[Garland] In all honesty, it's just as ackward for me--I generally fly solo.
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] ... Yeah, I feel strange... it's something to do with this place...
* Garland launches himself into the air, flying up

* Garland bursts into flames, flying faster
[DeathStar] GM: *Garland makes it----not, he suddenly stops flying and begins to fall like a speeding bullet*

[Gravedigger] Don't really know, I'm a physical object guy.
[Gravedigger] Hold on.

[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] You're still alive... that's good...

[DeathStar] Thank..God...you didn't fire...at this weak, piece of ground....
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] *looks genuinely worried*
[Garland] Ground... broke my fall.

[Garland] You told me not to... 
[DeathStar] ...
* DeathStar looks at him in disbelief
[Gravedigger] ...
[Garland] NRP: Enhanced senses...
[Gravedigger] Garland...think about the type of terrain we're on...
[DeathStar] One blast would have...
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] What is the Kiama anyway? It sounds like some kind of ki technique...
* Gravedigger makes a cracking and plummiting noise
[Gravedigger] Kersplat.
[DeathStar] No more rescue party.
* Garland looks at Kyouki
[Garland] Er.. it is..
* Garland blinks though
[Megami] 3[4Kyouki3] You know ki techniques?
* Garland holds a hand towards the sky and attempts a small blast, testingly

[Garland] That makes no sense......
* Garland looks at DS
[Gravedigger] So we're starting to lose our powers...Yikes.

[DeathStar] What?
[Gravedigger] DS...just what are you hoping to accomplish by doing this?
[DeathStar] Well, once we dig out way out, we'll start climb back up the snow the avalanche made.
[Gravedigger] Wouldn't that just create another avalanche?
[DeathStar] ....
