[Scott] NRP] You guys got back. Maybe Scott did too, he just kept his mouth shut since he'd barraged you with puns last time?
[Snipe] Hello, Garland. This is your land lord. We've been debating on the location of our new facility and the training room you own serves no real purpose. We'll be coming in and rebuilding it shortly.

[Scott] NRP] Perhaps I'm around origin somewhere?
[Snipe] NRP: Perhaps.

[SOUND]
[Garland] If I don't have a choice in this, at least let me move my th---What....?

[Hotaru_Airier] Let's see...

[Snipe] Man in Black: *dusts himself off* Who is this clown? He's interrupting my artistic flow!
* Kyo`Yokuo works on his speed training
[Garland] Let me move my things first, it's enough that you're turning my training room--which it's been since we GOT the station into a damned strip joint!

[Snipe] Man in Black: Hang out. It's going to be a "hang out".

[Garland] .........
[Dias] ..Huh?
* Garland grabs his sword rack
[Hotaru_Airier] THANKYOU!

[Hotaru_Airier] I was asking if you needed help, but you just ignored me...
[Dias] NRP: No one knows...
* Kara drags her bags down the halls "Now where the hell is my room.."
[Snipe] NRP: Boxes. Spiders. Mutated left over aliens. WIENDIGO's old room
[Dias] ....You were talking?
[Hotaru_Airier] ... YES!!!
[Dias] ...Your are?
[Hotaru_Airier] ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING?

[Hotaru_Airier] I'm Hotaru Airier...
* Scott sits on a box, watching a spider on the opposite wall of the hallway. "...Computer? Hello? Computer, you down here?"
[Snipe] Men in Black: *work, unphased*
* Kara stops to look at a map on the wall "You are here..."
[Garland] Don't break the computers, have them moved to my storage area.
[Dias] ....*looks at her* You didn't...
[Snipe] Chip: Yes.
* Garland storms into the control room
[Garland] What the hell is your problem, John!?
[Hotaru_Airier] Didn't what?
* Snipe looks up
[Snipe] What?
[Scott] Oh, good. How do I get back to the inhabited part of Origin?
[Hotaru_Airier] Is there something *WRONG* with me being half ATLAN?
[Dias] ...You didn't do that entire melding thing with thta fruit cake...
[Snipe] Chip: ... stairs?
[Garland] You didn't even give me notice! Why the hell are you having my training room turned into a strip joint!?
* Kyo`Yokuo eeps as he runs around the room, being chased by the sim robots. "bwahaha...." jumps over them, running the other way
[Hotaru_Airier] Melding?
* Dias shrugs
[Snipe] A group vote. I actually planned on having an entire floor devoted to it, but key people thought your location was ideal.
* Kara slugishly hauls her bags to her quarters
[Dias] I don't personally care for Airier
[Scott] In which direction are the stairs?
* Garland 's brow twitches
[Snipe] Chip: *gives him a set of complicated directions*
[Hotaru_Airier] Why not? He doesn't seem bad to me...
[Garland] Why.... wasn't.....I..... told..about..this?
* Garland glares at Snipe
* Dias laughs
* Scott plays back the directions one at a time on his portable datapaad-thingy. Where's he end up?
[Snipe] Because you didn't want to attend a meeting about Bars/Strip Joints/Hangouts?
[Dias] Whatever...so what did you want again?
[Kara] NRP: A vein in the forhead would be a nice touch Gar.
[Snipe] GM: *Scott's at a set of stairs*
[Garland] NRP: ....
[Hotaru_Airier] I was asking if I could help you, but...
[Dias] NRP: *hides the handout he was supposed to give Garland*
[Garland] If I'd known you'd pull some smart-assed stunt like this I would have.
[Dias] ...Help me? Why would i need help?
* Garland storms out
* Snipe nods slowly as he walks out
* Scott begins walking up the stairs. Where on origin do the stairs ggo, I mean.
[Hotaru_Airier] Maybe it'd get the mech done faster?
[Snipe] Yep, he needs some strippers.
* Snipe turns back to the console
* Garland goes to the MedBay and talks to Elayne
[Dias] Excellence cannot be rushed..
[Hotaru_Airier] Oh, and if you know what my mother looks like, I'd love to know.

[SOUND]
[Hotaru_Airier] Well, sure...

[Snipe] ...the informant?! He's...5 hours early.
[Kara] NRP: DS!!!! SEND MIDIS ZIP TO ME!!!!!
* Dias pulls a sheet off a table and looks at the massive engine under it
[Dias] ..Ahh my pride and joy..
* Hotaru_Airier smiles.
[Garland] I question why I condoned you and him. ....They're turning my trainingroom into a strip joint. *fumes*
[Hotaru_Airier] Good feeling, isn't it?
* Slasher looks up at Dias and throws a wad of paper at him, then quickly goes back to work
* Dias catche the paper and looks at it
[Dias] ....You wouldn't understand...Hotaru right?
[Hotaru_Airier] Try me.

[Hotaru_Airier] I used to be a scientist.

* Velocity opens eyes and casually walks towards the hanger
* Kyo`Yokuo falls into Gar's traning room, witch is being changed... he gets up and looks around "okay.. this is weirdly scary..." edges back throught the wall into his sim. He goes back to his speed training
[Hotaru_Airier] I guess that includes me...
[Kara] Oh hell, first day on the job.. *walks around origin trying to find the hanger
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Except I'm already there, right?
[Snipe] Chip: AAH, SCRAMBLE SCRAMBLE! --- wait, it's just an unpowered shuttle. WALK! WALK!
* Snipe walks into the hanger bay, sliding across the floor
[Dias] I used to be nothing
[Hotaru_Airier] Oh...
* Dias looks at Snipe
[Hotaru_Airier] Hi!
* Dias holds back a laugh
* Snipe slides past the two
* Kyo`Yokuo stops the sim and walks into the hanger bay
[Hotaru_Airier] You're Snipe, aren't you?

* Scott walks into tthe hangar bay...
* Velocity walks into the hanger
[Dias] Chip: Tractor Beam the shuttle
[Snipe] Chip: Tractoring...*shorts out a few seconds* ---bzzt, what?
[Snipe] Chip: Unable to get a power lock on the shuttle
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at Velocity, panting a bit "hiya Velocity.."
[Dias] Why not?
* Kara walks into the hanger "Hey, you guys know where the hanger is?"
[Hotaru_Airier] It's right here.
[Snipe] Chip: Some weird shield.
[Hotaru_Airier] You're new here, aren't you?
[Kara] Yeah, Yeah I am.
* Velocity nods at Kyo

[Snipe] Chip: Roger.
[Gravedigger] ...Okay, quite a turn-out for just an unpowered shuttle..

[Snipe] Chip: Sue me.
[Scott] ...Who's Roger?
* Scott looks around.
* Dias walks over to the shuttle
*** Tek_Lairen has joined #TAW
* Snipe smacks forehead and walks towards the shuttle
[Hotaru_Airier] I was here at the beginning. Sarlen's been teaching me about mechs.
* Kara stands there looking at it
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at Scott "?"
[Slasher] Sarlen HAH! He wouldn't know Mechs if they made a book Mechs for Dummys..
* Snipe nods at Dias
[Kyo`Yokuo] okay... *looks back at the shuttle*
[Snipe] This is our informant friend.
* Fera pops up behind Snipe
* Lance_Lizard follows after Snipe, his body still radiating head
[Fera] Can we eat him?!
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
[Dias] I thought he wasn't gonna show up for 5 more hours..
[Snipe] He's early.
* Snipe elbows Fera
* Kara looks at Fera "Now I know why this was once called the "Special" unit.."
[Fera] Ow! Hey, no rough stuff unti lafter hours!
[Snipe] Hey, she knows her history.

[Snipe] Eve: *flips down from a mech and she stands up*

[Snipe] OW!
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at Kara as he walks over to a bench, leaning agenst it
[Dias] Lowsy...son of a....
[Snipe] Bitch!
* Dias looks at Snipe
* Dias looks into the doorway waiting
[Lance_Lizard] Terran-based-senients are weird
[Snipe] Voice: You have the chip?
[Dias] Yes...you have the info?
[Snipe] Voice: Of course.
[Scott] .oO( Chip? What chip? )
* Snipe walks over
[Dias] Care to step out into the light?
[Snipe] Voice: What purpose would that serve?
[Kara] Well, mainly letting us see you.
[Dias] I like to know the face of anyone that touches CorSec trash..
* Snipe looks at Kara, stiffles a laugh
[Snipe] Voice: ...
[Dias] That and Fera here's looking for a new man..

* Dias shudders
[Fera] And I've foooouuunnnndddd hiiiiimmmm...

[Kara] Aw, isnt that nice..
[Snipe] Man: *a man with red hair steps down. He has dark, piercing blue eyes, and a red mustache. He's unfamiliar to anyone*
[Dias] Hey Fera look at those big blue eyes he's got
[Velocity] ---this is the guy/
* Hotaru_Airier watches the people.
[Snipe] Man: *puffs on his cigar* Happy?
[Fera] I'm only looking at yours, lover.
* Dias looks at him
[Dias] Yes I am...
* Kyo`Yokuo glances at Fera and rases a brow
* Snipe throws the chip up into the air
[Snipe] Man: *snatches it before it hits the ground*
[Dias] The info please
[Snipe] Man: *throws a folder at Snipe, who catches it*
[Dias] Check it out Snipe first
[Snipe] Man: It's surprising that I overlooked it for so long, but...*he steps into the shuttle briefly, coming back out with a data crystal, still holding his chip*
[Kara] .. Can I ask whats going on?
* Snipe flips through it, looking at a building's layouts, etc. etc.
[Hotaru_Airier] WHo are you people?
[Dias] Whats the data crystal for?
* Lance_Lizard leans over Snipe's shoulder to look at the folder
[Snipe] Man: What you see there is a company on a planet at the edge of Tsivrixsh space. It's low class, nothing important to it, you'd think. That's why the Tsivrixsh overlooked it for so long. However, since it's so small, it's owner wanted to..expand.
[Snipe] Man: *throws Snipe the data crystal* The information on the man.
* Gravedigger looks at Hotaru
* Velocity rolls eyes at Hotaru
[Hotaru_Airier] What?
[Gravedigger] 'Who are you people'?
[Hotaru_Airier] What about it?
[Dias] May I ask why you wanted the chip?
[Snipe] Man: Simple. *holds up the chip with the blue strip, crushing it* This will be the last time we meet, Wraiths.
[Hotaru_Airier] Being stuck inside the head of a psycho cyborg doesn't exactly improve your social skills...
[Snipe] Man: *Steps onto the shuttle, closing the door*
* Dias looks confused
[Hotaru_Airier] ... guess it doesn't matter...
[Snipe] ---he broke it?
[Hotaru_Airier] Yep.
[Kara] .... Ok, what the HELL just happened?
[Snipe] Shuttle: *lifts off and flies away*
[Lance_Lizard] What was that chip anyway?
[Hotaru_Airier] Don't ask me, I've only been a wraith a day or so!
[Velocity] I'm lost ymself.
* Snipe looks at the crowd.
[Snipe] Geeze, can't you all take TURNS?
* Gravedigger kneels down and picks up a piece
[Hotaru_Airier] What do you mean?
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he stands up, glancing over to snipe
[Gravedigger] Hmm..
[Snipe] ...
* Lance_Lizard thinks for a moment and then says, "No"
[Dias] ....Something's not right...Snipe didn't you say he needed that chip to run some program?
[Snipe] I said it ran some program, he never said he wanted it to run anything.
*** Tek_Lairen has left #TAW
[Dias] ...Chip
[Snipe] Chip: Yes?
[Dias] Did you get a picture of the man?
[Snipe] Chip: Ja.
[Gravedigger] Unless we're meant to think he destroyed the chip we grabbed.
[Hotaru_Airier] Great, we can find out who he is...
[Velocity] And why would he do that, Grave?
[Dias] Run a search on that man. Try finding a match or anything..
[Gravedigger] Ulterior motive, perhaps?
[Snipe] Chip: This could take a while, but...hey.
[Snipe] Hmm.
* Snipe waves folder
[Gravedigger] Misdirection.
[Dias] .....Do it anyway
[Snipe] Whatever the reason, he gave us the person who's resurrecting Talon's empire.
[Snipe] We should at least check it out.
[Hotaru_Airier] Talon?
[Hotaru_Airier] Who's Talon?
[Scott] ...Talon? Who's that?
* Velocity chuckles
[Gravedigger] ...*smacks his forehead*
[Snipe] ....this is going to be a long day.
[Dias] Snipe do you want time to go over it?
[Hotaru_Airier] *to Scott* {Are you a mindreader?}
* Hotaru_Airier giggles.
[Snipe] I can study the plans in the shuttle.
* Snipe points at a shuttle
[Snipe] Everyone, on board.
[Kara] ... Look, I need some breifing, I just joined and I know NOTHING about whats going on! I can hardly keep up with what you guys are saying.
[Fera] OOO! Shuttle ride!
[Hotaru_Airier] Join the club, Kara.
* Fera cackles and hops aboard
* Dias looks at the shuttle then at Slasher
* Kyo`Yokuo walks into the shuttle
* Hotaru_Airier hops on.
[Snipe] Everyone, get on the shuttle. Dias, brief them.
[Gravedigger] Snipe, word of advice...don' go to sleep this time.
[Hotaru_Airier] My first shuttle ride! WOOHOO!
* Snipe walks over to a comm station and enters a few commands
* Gravedigger gets on
[Kara] Shuttle ride... whee..
[Dias] I'll be back Slasher...
[Snipe] Death Star: Hello?
* Lance_Lizard walks onto the shuttle
[Dias] *wakls into the shuttle*
* Kara timidly walks to the shuttle, waiting for everyone to get on before finnaly following
[Snipe] Hey, can you get me a link for a three way conversation...I want Dominator and Wiendigo too.
[Slasher] *nods not breaking contact from his screen*
[Snipe] Death Star: *nods* Opening a three-way link.
[X2] *Meanwhile, back in X2's office* *sits, tapping his fingers together* What an uneventful day...
[Hotaru_Airier] Wiendigo...
* Snipe isn't in hearing distance of the others
[Hotaru_Airier] That's the guy Kyouki tried to pick a fight with...
[Fera] Wien: What the fuck do you want?
[Garland] Elly: *still blinking* Strip bar...?
[Snipe] Alright, Wien - Dominator - Death Star. One word. CorSec.
[Snipe] Death Star: *pauses* CorSec?
[Gravedigger] NRP: Elly: Strip bar...? Wow, I can get a job there!
[Garland] Luke: *walks into the training room* Wha... what'er all these men doing here?
[Fera] Wien: ...Bloody hell.
* Scott follows the others onto the shuttle.
[Dias] Aright....We ran into Talon awhile back, most of you rookies won't know him but he ran a very powerful trade system. We stopped him...lost some people...But someone's decided to start it up again..if we don't stop them we don't know what'll happen..
[Snipe] Look, I have a situation. I don't think it's totally a CorSec situation.
[Snipe] Basically, an informant had us steal an old CorSec chip, in return for information on the man trying to rebuild Talon's trade empire.
[Snipe] Death Star: *nods*
* Kyo`Yokuo glances about, wondering why Gar isn`t on the shuttle
[Hotaru_Airier] I remember something about CorSec...
*** Jago has joined #TAW
[Hotaru_Airier] Weren't they trying to defeat the mavericks?
* Dias looks at Hotaru
[Dias] Too bad for you..
[Kara] Ooooh... so we're gonna put him out of bussiness?
[Hotaru_Airier] Too bad for me?
* Dominator listens
[Snipe] But the man just broke the chip before our eyes, gave us the information, and left.
[Snipe] Death Star: Strange.
[Snipe] Chip: I'm running a scan on his face now. Nothing so far
[Dias] Read up on it if you want info....
[Hotaru_Airier] Is there something I'm missing?
* Garland growls under his breath, visible off in the distance of space from the hanger
[Fera] Wien: Run through the listings of CorSec personel.
[Hotaru_Airier] I have been dead for a few years, after all...
[Snipe] Chip: Will do. That'll cut down the time some.
[Dias] They've been around for a good 30-40 years
*** Jago has left #TAW
* Scott blinks at Hotaru. "You've _been_ dead??"
[Hotaru_Airier] I know. But what have they been doing while I was... yeah.
* Kyo`Yokuo scanes, finding gar (Garland, arn`t you coming?)
[Snipe] Anyway, if everything goes wrong when I investigate this Talon situation and I find out there's more, is it plausable for you guys to come back here? You three know CorSec a lot better than me.
[Kara] ...... Are we all dead before we are born?
[Dias] Killing reploids..
[Garland] «No.»
[Snipe] Death Star: ... I suppose one of the other generals can do the work. Think so, Dominator?
[Fera] Wien: More than you know.
[Dias] Snipe, we can always talk to that old rust bucket Slasher...
[Dominator] I suppose so, DS
[Kyo`Yokuo] [ok.]
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he shakes his head
[Snipe] Death Star: We'll be there in 5 days. Follow up the lead on Talon, but take Garland and Slasher.
* Snipe nods
[Snipe] Good idea. John out.
* Snipe closes the connection.
[Dominator] I'm interested in finding out exactly what's going on...
*** Alysia has joined #TAW
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alysia
[Alysia] 5[4Hotaru5] Yep, I've been dead.
* Snipe turns around
* Garland closes his eyes
[Alysia] 5[4Hotaru5] Inside Kyouki's head, to be precise.
[Scott] How can you have _been_ dead??
[Snipe] Comm: Slasher - Garland. Death Star and I both agree --- your help is needed.
[Alysia] 5[4Hotaru5] It's a long story...
*** Hotaru_Airier has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Alysia)))
*** Alysia is now known as Hotaru_Airier
[Garland] COMM: That's a first.
[Hotaru_Airier] Technically, I guess I was a ghost...
[Dias] Comm: .....
* Gravedigger picks his teeth with his sai
[Slasher] Comm: Leave me be....
[Snipe] Comm: CorSec, Slasher --- CorSec.
[Scott] A ghost?
* Velocity sits in the crowded shuttle
[Slasher] ....*phases onto the ship*
[Hotaru_Airier] Yep.
[Velocity] Elbow room---ELBOW room!
[Slasher] ....Where...
* Velocity is in the co-pilot's seat
[Fera] ...OKAY!
*** Dominator has quit IRC (Random RPG Quote: [DeathStar] Garland!)
[Hotaru_Airier] A conciousness inside a gem. Sort of.
* Garland turns and looks at the origin
* Fera elbows Vel in the side of his face
[Scott] How'd that happen?
* Velocity punches Fera
[Velocity] That hurt!2
* Slasher stands there, a serious look on his face
* Fera bites Vel's face
* Snipe walks over to Slasher
[Fera] *muffled* So'd this!
* Garland flies down to the hanger, landing shy away from the group
* Kyo`Yokuo pulls out long colt and reloads it, also checking his other clips to make sure they are full
[Hotaru_Airier] Now *THAT*'s hard to explain...
[Velocity] YEEEEOWWWW!
* Fera bites down harder
[Snipe] We just had some mysterious guy want a 22 year old CorSec chip
[Gravedigger] ...
[Velocity] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
[Kara] ...... *Watches the too silently*
[Slasher] What was the Chip about..
[Snipe] We delivered and he destroyed the chip
* Fera snickers as blood brips down his chin
[Snipe] It ran a progarm to power a generator.
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at Fera "cut it out, would you?"
[Kara] If we die in a shuttle crash, does the company pay for our funerals?
[Snipe] Eve: *stands off to the side, watching them go*
[Slasher] .....Do you know what kind of generator?
* Fera spits out Vel's hand and turns to Kyo
[Fera] Oh, you want to join in?
[Dias] Comm: Eve, keep an eye on the mechs for me
[Snipe] Negative. It could be any sort of generator
* Kyo`Yokuo cocks his gun, glansing up at him
[Velocity] YE-OW!
* Velocity rubs his hand
[Slasher] What the chip look like?
* Hotaru_Airier plays with her pendant.
* Snipe shrugs
[Snipe] It was small and had a blue line on it. With the words, CORE
* Garland holds his forehead, watching the group
[Slasher] ....*tilts his head down and puts his hand to his chin, thinking*
[Fera] Nice gun. Too bad you'd be dead and drained before you even thought about squeezing off a shot.
[Scott] Could you try? i've never heard of anything like that.
[Snipe] I have to go on this mission. If you'd like to work with Chip, be my guest.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Fera, what are you anyway... if you don`t me asking. and thanks it is a nicegun
* Garland crosses his arms
* Kara blinks at fera and loads her strykers "I thought those damn stories where exagerated..!"
* Fera gets by Kyo's ear and whispers
[Slasher] I think I'd be better use with Chip...I have a database on CorSec files I've collected over...my life...
[Fera] I'm something very nasty...
[Snipe] Excellent. We'll be back.
[Hotaru_Airier] Oh? What?
* Snipe leaps onto the shuttle
[Kyo`Yokuo] ok then...
* Kyo`Yokuo places his gun away
* Slasher walks back to his desk
* Snipe sits in the back
* Fera then sreeches as loud as he possibly can inot Kyo's ear
[Slasher] Chip..did you ever get a chance to scan the chip?
* Garland stays still
[Snipe] Chip: I ran a few scans, yes.
* Velocity closes the door
* Kyo`Yokuo only blinks, blocking the sound reseavers in his ears
* Slasher walks over to the computer and slides a cd into it
[Snipe] Looks like Garland won't be coming on the ground mission. So, we'll run by instinct.
* Fera looks back to Snipe and winks
[Scott] How you were trapped in a gem.
* Kyo`Yokuo turns them back on after Fera stops
* Velocity lifts the shuttle into the air
* Garland appears in the shuttle looking at Snipe
[Slasher] Here's all the info I've collected. See if oyu can find any connections. I'm gonna call some old friends up...
[Snipe] Chip: Right.
* Velocity looks at Fera, puzzled
[Garland] I'm comming, else you won't know what the hell you're doing.
[Hotaru_Airier] Trapped is probably the wrong word...
* Snipe glances at Fera, blinking
[Snipe] Sure we won't, know it all.
* Gravedigger stiffles a laugh again
* Velocity flies the shuttle out of the hanger
[Velocity] Need location, Sniper.
[Garland] I didn't say I knew everything, whore-monger.
* Snipe mumbles a random set of numbers.
[Kara] Where are we going?
*** Dominator has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Dominator
* Garland turns and sits down
[Snipe] You sure act like God enough, ass-hole.
* Snipe opens up the folder and reads the informant's notes
[Garland] Odd comming from the man who's turning my training room into a brothel.
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
[Snipe] Get over it, crybaby. Shit happens.
[Kyo`Yokuo] ...
[Velocity] ...
[Hotaru_Airier] A BROTHEL?!!!
[Garland] .....
[Gravedigger] Hey you two, this is hardly the time or place.
* Kara looks at Hotaru
* Velocity enters hyperspace
* Scott blinks.
[Velocity] ---a what?
[Hotaru_Airier] I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'D PUT A BROTHEL ON THE STATION...
[Snipe] Oh, please, shut up.
[Fera] Ooo, can we throw 'em outside and watch them explode?!
[Hotaru_Airier] WHY SHOULD I?
* Snipe reads the notes
[Kara] .... hey, whats a Brothel?
* Snipe stands up and points at Hotaru
[Snipe] Look, we're on a mission, not a debating crew.
* Lance_Lizard stares out one of the windows and mutters to himself
[Snipe] This isn't some democractic party. It's my word, or jump out the door.
[Fera] Jump out the door! Jump out the door!
[Snipe] I usually ask for your input, but right now, SHOVE IT!
[Kara] Whats a Brothel..?
* Snipe sits down, opening the folder again
[Kyo`Yokuo] ...
* Garland sits with his eyes closed, acknowledging no one
[Velocity] ----this will be a long flight.
[Kara] Damnit! Whats a brothel!
[Gravedigger] Whore house.
* Hotaru_Airier holds her head.
[Kara] ...... Sweet!
[Hotaru_Airier] WHAT?!!!
[Velocity] ---that's coming from a girl?
[Gravedigger] Now be quiet.
[Kara] Er, uh... Nm..
[Scott] ...What? A smore house?
[Hotaru_Airier] Who asked you, anyway?
* Snipe looks at a few photos
[Snipe] Hmmm.
[Gravedigger] Hey, all of you, button it! That's an order.
* Garland crosses his arms, his brow twitching
* Kyo`Yokuo hangs his head as he pulls out his mini-computer. typing away at it
* Kara stares at the floor
[Gravedigger] ...Thank you.
[Hotaru_Airier] ... orders... I should never have joined...
[Snipe] NRP: *watches their exp. drop from arguing with COs, while Dias, Grave, Kara, LL, Kyo, and Snipe's continue to rise (hey, Dias got 2 levels for flying!)
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Hey, I'm trying to RP her properly here...
[Snipe] NRP: True.
[Fera] Order? I'll take a severed human head on a wooden stick, slightly roasting, with maggots...oo, nice maggots...
* Fera drools
[Hotaru_Airier] Oh shut up.
[Velocity] ...
* Velocity taps fingers
[Garland] NRP: Ass-kissing == Rank Gain
* Velocity stands up, turns around
[Velocity] Okay, look people.
[Velocity] I know our ideals don't usually add up.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Experience != Rank
[Velocity] I don't like some of you. You don't like some others. Some others don't like me.
[Velocity] But what we have to do...is work together!
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
* Gravedigger blinks
[Scott] ... .oO( Some of the people here are weird. )
[Velocity] And I can't fly properly with all this bickering!
[Hotaru_Airier] ... sorry...
[Velocity] Thank you.
* Velocity sits back down
[Gravedigger] .oO(Wow, what the hell's gotten into him?)
* Velocity buckles himself back in
* Snipe looks up, jaw drop
[Snipe] Did---he ... just...do something...positive?
[Fera] ...CRASH! CRASH!
[Hotaru_Airier] Yes.
[Garland] .oO(I'm liking Velocity more and more.)
* Kyo`Yokuo just types silently as he overvews his work
* Gravedigger rolls his eyes and looks back at Fera
* Kara looks at Fera, suddenly his hair bursts into flames
[Snipe] ...yep, we're all doomed when Vel's making sense....*shakes head, working on folders*
[Hotaru_Airier] Can someone *PLEASE* shut that damn thing up?
[Garland] Hotaru.
* Velocity slumps over
[Velocity] God...
[Hotaru_Airier] Yeah, yeah, I'll shut up too.
[Fera] Give me a dead rat with festering wounds and I'll be good! ...Until I'm finished, anyway...
[Lance_Lizard] Fera, can you quit with the eating stuff... It's annoying
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Short Fuse = Lower XP?
* Snipe flips page
* Kara watches Fera's hair burn.
[Snipe] Shove Fera in the closet if you guys want.
[Scott] NRP] What's going on now? Are we in a shuttle flying somewhere or sometthing?
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Yes.
[Snipe] NRP: In a small, shuttle.
[Fera] *looks at LL* ...Why YOU look tasty, can I eat you?
[Hotaru_Airier] NO!
* Fera 's hair is metallic
[Velocity] ...
[Dias] BRP: BRB
* Kara sighs "So uh... are you guys always like this?"
* Gravedigger runs the bridge of his nose
[Gravedigger] Basically..
* Velocity reaches over, flips a switch, causing the engine to shut off, while in hyperspace. A few seconds later a thunderous boom is heard as the entire shuttle rocks forward at the impact of 300 PL and a speed of 500 SL, knocking everyone into their seats. Amazingly he still has the energy to repower the engines and everything returns to normal
[Hotaru_Airier] I should really work on my temper...
[Snipe] GOD1
* Snipe smashes into his seat
[Hotaru_Airier] I don't remember being so bad tempered as a human...
[Hotaru_Airier] ... ATLAN blood, I bet.
[Scott] .......Ow.
[Kara] O_O
[Snipe] ...what...the hell...was that!?
[Velocity] Oh, oops, look at that. All the fighting caused me to loose my concentration and I flipped the wrong button. I'm sooo sorry.
[Hotaru_Airier] Don't know, but it hurt.
* Kyo`Yokuo just keeps typing. he stops and places the minni-computer away.
[Fera] ...I'll fly!
[Snipe] ...*under his breath* Bastard.
* Lance_Lizard goes back to staring out the viewport
[Snipe] OH NO YOU DON'T, FERA!@
[Fera] Awww...*pouts*
[Hotaru_Airier] Maybe I should go catgon...
* Snipe picjs up his fallen folder
* Garland sits there, his arms still crossed
[SOUND]
[Snipe] NRP: The team'
[Snipe] NRP: The team's ultimate challenge...not killing each other in a small shuttle
* Velocity drops them out of hyperspace above a planet
[Kyo`Yokuo] .oO(well we are here...)
[Snipe] Alright, according to these notes, veer right and enter the planet on vector 34 B, 74 A.
* Gravedigger looks out the viewport
[Snipe] We should be undetected.
[Gravedigger] Looks cozy enough...
* Velocity begins to fllow the vector
[Kara] NRP: Replay sound please
[Snipe] NRP: You don't have it.
[Kara] NRP: well give it to me then.
[Snipe] NRP: Take he files when I send it then
* Scott looks out a viewport...
[Snipe] GM: *the planet is red, with magnetic storms streaking across the sky*
[Kara] NRP: I have it, gar sent it to me
[Garland] NRP: I sent tgc1-3.zip to Kara a bit ago.
[Snipe] Humans actually...live there?
*** Retrieving #taw info...
[Velocity] I'm more worried about the storms.
* Kara looks out and whistles
[Snipe] The path we're taking should be safe enough
[Hotaru_Airier] I wouldn't know. I didn't leave Earth 'til Kyouki found me.
[SOUND]
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs softly as he waits
[Garland] ...
[Snipe] Alright, cut engines and have us drop.
[Hotaru_Airier] Let's hope we don't crash or anything...
* Velocity powers down everything but the life support and gravity, the shuttle dropping through the atmosphere
[Scott] ...Again.
[Snipe] So far, so good.
* Kyo`Yokuo places his hands in his pockets of his coat
[Snipe] GM: *their speed reaches terminal velocity and they streak towards the surface*
[Velocity] 20,000....
[Velocity] 15,000 ....
[Velocity] Can I power up now...?
[Snipe] Ye--No
[Kara] O_O
[Velocity] 10,000...
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
[Velocity] 8,000
[Snipe] Now, cut the engines on and get the repulsors going.
* Velocity complies
[Velocity] 5,000
[Velocity] 3,000...
[Velocity] 1,000....
* Velocity jerks the controls up and they literally repulse off the ground, causing the entire shuttle to shake, as it comes sliding in towards a huge complex up ahead, but it stops just outside it's security perimeter
[Velocity] 0 feet.
[Hotaru_Airier] Great.
* Garland teleports out
* Snipe steps ou after opening the door.
[Hotaru_Airier] Showoff.
* Velocity stands up

[Velocity] Hey, you know it.
* Garland steps his feet gingerly onto the red ground
* Kyo`Yokuo walks throught the wall of the shuttle
* Velocity leaps down onto the red dirt
[Kara] EACK!
[Snipe] --no one bothered checking for oxygen, did they---?
[Hotaru_Airier] We're down safe. Good job Velocity!
[Velocity] Thanks.
[Velocity] ---wait, oxygen? oops.
[Snipe] *all humans begin to feel lightheaded, and fast*
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: And ATLANS?
[Garland] ....
* Snipe leaps back into the shuttle and grabs a suit
* Garland looks at them
* Velocity sways

[Snipe] What a retched world for the rebirth of an empire.
[Dias] NRP: 65% Ass
* Kyo`Yokuo walks over to Gar, standing next to him. a brase moving the ends of his coat around him
* Scott grabs a suit and begins to put it on. "....Where's my tail s'posed to go?"
[Snipe] NRP: No one bothered scanning
* Kara finds a suit and trys it on
* Garland pulls out his pad and scans it
[Snipe] NRP: 90 carbon dixoide, 10% other poisonous gases
[Hotaru_Airier] * If she needs one, anyway, Hotaru puts a spacesuit on before heading back out.
[SOUND]
* Snipe begins to work his way towards the complex
* Dias follows behind Snipe
[Velocity] So, how are we going to do this?
[Snipe] Nice...and quiet.
* Snipe reads the folder
* Kara exits the ship and follows everyone "Uh.. anyone mind telling me what we're doing here?"
* Dias zooms his eyes in looking at hte complex
[Snipe] Destroy, maim, kill.
* Scott puts his tail in a pant leg, finishes putting on tthe suit, puts his backpack on over it, and follows the others.
[Snipe] Complex: *is a black building that towers 20 feet into the air. It has four towers on it, almost like a fortress*
[Kara] Ooooh, that sounds easy.. um, no over powerfull godlike creatures here, right?
[Snipe] I think I saw three on the way in.
[Garland] COČ.....
* Dias scans for activity
[Garland] I'll be fine for a good while.. just get tired.
[Snipe] GM: *plenty is seen around the complex*
[Hotaru_Airier] No mavericks are there?
* Snipe sighs
* Kyo`Yokuo nods as he joins the others
[Dias] .....Great....we got a lot of activity..
[Snipe] ...if there were humans running this place, would MAVERICKS be here?
[Hotaru_Airier] Good point... hahaha...
* Velocity snorts at Snipe
[Kara] Heheh, stupid.
[Velocity] Wow, you're a smart one.
* Dias looks up at the building and tries scanning it
[Scott] Hey, we all say dumb things sometimes.
[Snipe] GM: *400 gun cannons are seen*
[Dias] .....Snipe..
[Hotaru_Airier] I'm just not well up on world events...
* Snipe points at Vel
[Garland] ...Fun.
[Snipe] What do you mean by "I'm a smart one"?
[Velocity] That you figured that out all by yourself.
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe leaps down into a ditch
[Dias] ....Snipe..
[Kara] Hey.. those... are alot of cannons..
[Snipe] What?
[Dias] I count 400 cannons on the building...that's just this side
[Snipe] I know.
[Hotaru_Airier] Don't worry, they won't... shoot... us... will they?
[Velocity] ...
* Kara slides into the ditch behind snipe

[Garland] Vel: «Never said I'd act on it.»
[Hotaru_Airier] [The offer's there from me too...]
* Kara loads her guns "I guess I'll need these considering what our mission is."
* Kyo`Yokuo sits on the bank of the ditch, inviable to everyone,
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
[Hotaru_Airier] It's just a bar?
[Snipe] Yes.
[Dias] ...With dancers...
[Velocity] [...look, why are you guys suddenly all friendly with me?] *sounds uncomfortable*
* Hotaru_Airier hits her head on the side of the ditch.
[Hotaru_Airier] Baka.
* Snipe crouches low towards a gate in the ditch, looking like a sewer pipe
* Snipe bangs on it
[Snipe] We'll need to cut through it.
[Garland] «Because the the thorn of my thorn is a rose.»
* Dias lets out a blast from his right eye burning through the grate
* Kara takes out her beam sabre "This might help!"
*** Dominator is now known as Dominator_Eating_Dinner
[Hotaru_Airier] That works.
* Snipe crawls through the broken metal
* Scott takes a moment to fish through his backpack, gettting his plasma machinegun, cloaking device, and shield. Then he puts it back on and follows.
[Kara] Er..
[Velocity] [Pawn. Charming]
* Dias crawls in behind Snipe
* Velocity leaps through
* Velocity bounces off Dias and lands on the ground

* Garland glances at Hotaru
[Garland] Handle one of my swords?
[Hotaru_Airier] Shouldn't be too much different, thanks.
[SOUND]
* Garland nods
* Snipe works his way through the pipe until they can hear the low bubbling of liquids
* Garland hands her a sheithed sword, it being fairly large
* Snipe steps to the edge and looks down at the waste and sludge flowing by.
[Hotaru_Airier] ... forgot how small I am now...
* Garland glances at it
[Dias] ...*scans the sludgE*
* Velocity stops next to Snipe
[Garland] Pleasant.
[Garland] It's not as heavy as you'd think.
[Kara] Hey... Sludge.. yummy.
[Snipe] Scan: 60% shit, 20% urine, 20% toxic materials
* Hotaru_Airier takes the sword, nodding.
[Hotaru_Airier] Sewage.
[Dias] Well luckily it's only 20% toxic...
[Snipe] ...oh, yay.

[Kara] Like.. split up?
* Dias grabs Snipe
* Snipe stumbles, trying to maintain balance
[Snipe] Thanks
* Snipe looks at the ladder
[Snipe] This should have been another 20 feet down...
[Dias] .....becareful..
[Garland] NRP: What was the orientation of the building when we went in?
[Dias] ....Check the layout again
[Snipe] NRP: Since no one really got a good look at the building and we're outside the area
* Kara sighs, no one listening to her"Forget me.."
* Snipe pulls out the folder and looks down, seeing another ladder
[Snipe] There it is.
[Garland] NRP: Uh huh...
[Snipe] NRP: You can guess!
[Hotaru_Airier] If we split up, it makes us vulnerable.
* Snipe works his way around the ladder
[Snipe] Plus I know the way.
[Kara] Oh, well that makes since.
[Velocity] Oh, yeah, follow the blind. Oops, sorry, there goes my rank as Private.
* Garland crosees his arms
* Dias follows keeping an eye out for movement
* Velocity works his way around the ladder

[Garland] Cute.
[Snipe] Grave and Fera are back at the shuttle.
[Dias] ....Shit..
[Kara] Yeah, Fera would give us away for sure..
* Snipe looks up and sees a vent in the roof, which is 30 feet up

[Garland] NRP: THey think the vent is in the ceiling of the bathroom
[Kara] NRP: I thought we where in vents ABOVE the restroom
[Snipe] NRP: Aaaah. Sorry. It's like a grate.
* Hotaru_Airier jumps in.
* Velocity walks out of the stall
[Velocity] What is going on??

[Hotaru_Airier] Sorry I yelled, sir.
[Garland] I suppose the man in black was only joking about the strip pole.
* Dias spots 'em
[Dias] Someones coming..
[Snipe] The strip pole is for the dancing, not STRIPPING.
[Snipe] ...awww, shit.

* Kara does also "This suit sucks."
[Velocity] [Becareful]
[Scott] Won't we need our suits again later?
[Snipe] What is Hotatu's situation?
[Snipe] More than likely.
[Garland] She's fine, for now.
[Snipe] But carrying them around will slow us down.
[Snipe] Dias, we'll be going right.
[Dias] Aright..*steps out of the hallway and scans to the right*
[Garland] Untill they realize she doesn't belong to anyone here.
[Snipe] GM: *it's clear*
[Dias] It's clear guys
[Kyo`Yokuo] 'me moves out infroun of Dias as a few ripples in the air
* Garland steps out and walks calmly

[Garland] We aren't in uniforms, we look suspicious no matter what.
* Snipe looks at his black shirt and pants he's wearing.
[Snipe] I think we'll stand out no matter what.
[Kara] Likewise.
[Dias] Snipes where's the nearest lockerroom?
* Hotaru_Airier , luckily(?) hid her sword.
* Snipe grabs the blueprints
[Snipe] Five floors up, near a security post.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Therefore, I don't have it.
* Garland is wearing a semi-uniform, in other words, his clothing is more formal than anything else.
[Dias] Shit...
[Snipe] We need to blow this base up and kill the leader.
[Kara] If needed, I can cause a distraction by fire. I'm Pryokenetic for all its worth.
* Snipe points at an elevator
[Garland] I could possibly go around, I know the CorSec protocol... I was in it once.
[Snipe] If we take that, we can save ourselves hours of work.
[X2] NRP: TAW plans at their greatest!
[Dias] But we risk getting caught easier...
[Snipe] NRP: Gotta love them
[Snipe] True.
[Garland] Hmm...
[Snipe] It just depends. Time or stealth.
[Dias] If onyl we could get some uniforms...
* Scott puts away the plasma machinegun and hopes the uniform here is a red shirt & blue pants.

[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: ...
[Garland] «They'd have you shot. Have an escape rout before you attempe something liek that.»
[Snipe] ...if they continue to neglect the password...the entire stairway..becomes a death trap.

[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Where am I now?
* Kyo`Yokuo nods "how far down is it to the control room?"
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: And why do I get the feeling I can't change back yet...
[Snipe] It's through that door at the end of the hallway, about 40 feet from the post.
[Snipe] NRP: You're with us
[Scott] NRP: Can we see Dias?
[Snipe] And, Dias, try to knock 'em out, quietly.

* Dias slowly walks towards the Guard post
* Snipe crouches
[Snipe] Stay down, people.
* Velocity bends down
[Garland] I don't guess now's the time to tell them that different uniforms mean different things in CorSec last I checked...
* Hotaru_Airier drops to the floor.
* Kara does as Snipe says
[Snipe] ...this isn't technically CorSec.
[Dias] NRP: Didn't think this was CorSec...
[Dias] NRP: Whys Kara follwing me?
* Hotaru_Airier folds up her wings to try and look as catlike as possible.

[Garland] Yup.. They think he's a guard, not an officer... Oh well.
* Dias holds it up infront of his face
[Snipe] I think Kyo got past them.
[Snipe] Scott, if you can mimic outfits, you're up next.
[Kara] How can you tell?
[Snipe] Well, lets see, it's been...oh, a minute or so. Plenty of time to walk past them.
* Kyo`Yokuo reatches the door to the control room and tries to scan whats inside, before he moves throught the door, into the control room
[Dias] I guess you guys were right....*slams his left fist into the throat of Guard 1 and his foot into the face of the other one
[Snipe] GM: *the scan is blocked and phasing through it is impossible*

[Snipe] Man: I see. Let us talk somewhere more ... private. *they are all teleported onto the 30th floor, in an office*
[Hotaru_Airier] Is dis da Tawon guy?
[Garland] No. I'd remember him anywhere.
[Kara] Man, why arnt we killing anyone yet?
[Dias] ....*looks around* Why do you want to bring back Talons Trade System..
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he looks around thr room, visable to all
[Velocity] Man: Why not? It's a great source of resources and connections. A motherlode of wealth and control that can be used
*** Lyles has joined #taw

[Snipe] ...so you are behind it.
[Lyles] ...o fcourse.
[Dias] Are you working with the Tsiv?
[Lyles] Let me introduce myself. I am Lyles.
[Hotaru_Airier] ... ... ...
[Dias] My name is Dias *nods*
[Lyles] Actually, no. I'm too small for them to notice. Though them building a base at Talon's old home was inconvient.
[Scott] . . .
[Velocity] Ron.
[Snipe] John.
[Kara] ..? Uh.. guys, I thought we were here to..? Not talk..?
* Kyo`Yokuo fixes his coat as he looks at Lyles

[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Do I lose my clothes if I go Catgon then ATLAN again? ^^;;;
[Snipe] NRP: I...I think so.
[Dias] Do you plan on reviving CorSec?
[Kara] NRP: As far as I know
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Eep.
[Lyles] Negative.
[Dias] Good....Otherwise I'd be forced to stop you..
[Scott] NRP: What's Catgon?
* Lyles chuckles
[Lyles] Oh?
[Kara] Yeah! ditto.
* Hotaru_Airier *DOESN'T* change back to ATLAN form then.
* Hotaru_Airier blinks.
[Snipe] We're going to have to stop him anyway!
[Snipe] We can't let him control Talon's trade empire. We have to end it here and now.
[Garland] NRP: Gar'll give her his over-suit if she does.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Cat-like dragon, basically. Like Ruby.
[Kara] Then why the hell arnt we killing him?
[Lyles] So you wish to do battle?
[Dias] Not really

* Kara holds hand to her sabre
[Hotaru_Airier] Money no worth dying ova...

* /sound: no such file 'TGC-IsThisHGoodbye.mid'
[SOUND]
[Garland] NRP: He's using Ki.. he's completely inside
[Snipe] NRP: You said throws his hands OUT, I thought you meant OUTSIDE.
* Dias runs over to a console and checks the condition of the wing
* Hotaru_Airier is curled up into a ball.
[Garland] NRP: I meant out as in away from his self.
* Kara sets back in her seat and inhales deeply "you guys sure know how to party eh?"
* Scott looks back once the accelleration stops. .oO( All those people... killed in the ecxplosion... )
* Snipe seems to breath more slowly
[Snipe] Who activated the self-destruct?!
* Garland looks at Snipe
* Hotaru_Airier sniffs.
[Garland] You know how it goes, anyone who's in charge is load bearing to the building...
* Snipe looks over at Hotaru and walks over, kneeling down beside her
[Snipe] Are you okay, Hotaru?
* Snipe smiles at her
* Dias goes solemn
* Kyo`Yokuo leans back on his chair, helping Velocity fly the shuttle
[Velocity] ...I'd estimate that everyone in that building died.
[Garland] Probably...
* Garland closes his eyes
[Scott] . . .
[Velocity] We, in a sense, killed them,.
[Garland] They didn't seem incredibly shocked that Hotaru was there...
* Dias gets up and walks to the back of the shuttle quiet
[Hotaru_Airier] ... me no like death...
* Snipe pats Hotaru
[Garland] There must have been a daycare there...
[Snipe] It's okay, Hotaru...it's just part of a cycle of life.
* Garland leans against the wall
[Snipe] They've gone to a better place.
* Snipe smiles gently
[Hotaru_Airier] ... ... ...
[Snipe] A happy place.
[Scott] ...
[Garland] ...
* Kara sets there, knowing what happened, but not feeling sad.. seeing it to many times in movies... disensitation...
[SOUND]
[Garland] Hotaru's not a child, John.
[Snipe] She needs consoling just as much as an adult does.
[Snipe] I, Hotaru, honestly believe they are at a better place. With no suffering or pain.
[Hotaru_Airier] *sounding pained* ... I hope you're right...
[Garland] Hrm..
[Snipe] Ask Garland there. He'll tell you all about God and stuff.
* Snipe smiles again
* Garland nods slowly...
[Hotaru_Airier] ... was all that really necessary?
* Snipe stands up slowly
[Snipe] The deaths or the mission?
* Velocity is quiet.
[Hotaru_Airier] ... both.
*** Rita has joined #TAW
[Garland] I question the mission...
[Scott] .oO( Could I have stopped the self-destruct if I hadn't panicked and ran? )
[Dias] He said something about 21 years ago...
[Snipe] The mission was necessary, because one day, Lyles could have used the trade empire for wrong.
*** Rita is now known as Kara`
[Hotaru_Airier] And the deaths?
[Snipe] As for the deaths...death is never right. The only time it's right, is if you're defending yourself. All those deaths...there was no point in them.
*** Kara has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[Dias] That'd be about the time dad found me...
[Snipe] There never is any point in death, to be honest. If people could...work together, death would only be a thing of old age, when a person's time comes for the eternal sleep...not stripped away as a child.
[Hotaru_Airier] That's how I feel too...
[SOUND]
* Snipe stands up, sadly, thinking back
* Hotaru_Airier uncurls a little.
[Snipe] I have to go finish a few things, Hotaru, but talk to Garland here. He'll tell all sorts of neat things about his religious beliefs.
* Kara` stares at the floor
* Snipe walks towards the back, his face going almost void of emotion
* Dias puts his hand on Snipes shoulder
* Snipe stops
[Dias] I know it had to be done....we can't help it if theres casualities, even if we try.
[Snipe] ...
[Garland] ...He's right about what he said, Hotaru.
[Snipe] *under his breath, where the others cna't hear him* I let innocent people die, just like I killed that boy. All those years ago.
[Dias] That was all our fault
[Hotaru_Airier] It wasn't worth it.
[Snipe] No, it's MY fault.
[Garland] It never is.
[Snipe] I'm the team leader, it's my responsibility.
* Snipe walks off towards the back, shutting the door
* Garland scratches Hotaru behind the ear
* Velocity glances at the door, grunting, flying on
* Dias sighs looking down
* Hotaru_Airier uncurls, seeming to cheer up somewhat.
* Kyo`Yokuo taps a few buttons here and there as he co-pilots
[Garland] When we get home, you, Em, Elly, Jonas and Lucas, Angel, and me will get something to eat and talk this all over.
[Velocity] ...*rubs chin* I think, perhaps, we were given a false lead.
[Garland] Vel, He, he did keep saying this wasn't the truth.
* Hotaru_Airier nods. "Tankoo."
[Garland] Perhaps that's what he meant.
[Velocity] Then why? Then why say he was trying to do it all?
[Garland] Perhaps he was fooled, too.
[Velocity] ...
[Velocity] Well, I'm not equipped to think these things out, anyway.
[Dias] Maybe we're being lead around...
[Garland] Heh..
[Garland] Wild goose chase, Dias?
[Scott] ...
[Dias] Or a Pawn..
* Kara` just doesnt say anything, just sets there, and listens
[Garland] Hm...
[Dias] What if we were suppposed to take him out so someone else can take it ove.r.
[Garland] Perhaps... *crosses his arms* I don't like to be controlled.
[Snipe] NRP: Bravo, I've succeed in making you members paranoid.
[Snipe] NRP: succeeded even
* Garland looks deep in thought
[Gravedigger] NRP: You've only now discovered that?
[Hotaru_Airier] We betta tink 'bout it.
[Garland] I get the feeling it's someone we've never met pawning us...
[Dias] NRP: Fera: *sneaks up on Snipe while he's in the room and makes sweet love with him*
[Snipe] NRP: Yes.
[Dias] NRP: Snipe: *comes out relaxed* I feel better now...
[Snipe] NRP: Garland: The true enemy is....Kevin Bell?! He's been manipulating us!?
* Garland looks deep in thought
[Snipe] NRP: Death Star: *Gasps*
[Garland] But who...
[Snipe] Session Ends
