[21:46] * DeathStar sits in the control room, studying the feedback he's getting from a shuttle he sent out
[21:46] [Alicia] NRP: Do you need Hota/Kyou?
[21:46] *** X1 is now known as Gravedigger
[21:46] * Seraphna sits on her mech sighing deeply... "Hope they're okay..."
[21:46] [DeathStar] NRP: Necessary?  No.  IF you want? Sure.
[21:47] * Snipe strolls into the hanger, scanning around for Sarlen or anyone
[21:47] * Gravedigger relcines in a seat in the control room, pulling monitor duty
[21:47] [Snipe] Velocity: *sits in the corner, working on an old starfighter*
[21:47] [Gravedigger] Booorrrriiinnggg..
[21:48] [Seraphna] *Sarlen mutters and bops his friend over the head
[21:48] [Jeraywen] NRP: WHEEEEEEEE!~ SES-SION!
[21:48] * DeathStar ignores Grave, still studying an asteroid on the screen
[21:48] [Seraphna] *Jake holds his head, "WHoa there boss! Watch the merchandice..."
[21:48] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Shut up... you can handle it...
[21:48] [Kain`Ashbone] NRP:AHHHHHHHHHHH YOU STOLE ME REAL NAME DAMN YOU!
[21:48] [Seraphna] Need something John?
[21:49] [Seraphna] NRP: *muwhahas
[21:49] * Snipe glances over towards the owner of the voice
[21:50] * Wiendigo appears outside of Gar's 'establishment' with a flaming device strapped to his back
[21:50] * Wiendigo rolls a cigar in his mouth
[21:50] [Snipe] Chip: Warning, Wiendigo is outside Garland's Bar.  With a flaming device.
[21:50] [Snipe] Chip: Taking necessary precautions
[21:50] [Seraphna] *Water drenches the "eastablishment"
[21:50] [Snipe] Chip: *dumps water on Wiendigo*
[21:50] [Seraphna] *Dogs are heard barking
[21:50] [Wiendigo] I'm Wiendigo, I'll be your waiter tonight.
[21:50] * Wiendigo grimaces as the water hits
[21:51] [Wiendigo] ....Somebody's gonna die.
[21:51] * Wiendigo dumps the pak and takes out his katana
[21:51] * Snipe looks at the remaining mechs that survived the attack
[21:51] * Gravedigger drums his fingers on a chair arm
[21:52] [DeathStar] Chip: Snipe did it!
[21:52] [Seraphna] It ain't good...
[21:52] [Seraphna] *Leaps down and lands next to Snipe
[21:52] * Snipe nods
[21:53] [Snipe] We're going to need to prep six of them or so.  Get them ready for battle.
[21:53] [Seraphna] But we'll recover, only the base mechs were destroyed, most of the ones on our carriers escaped and are returned or returning already...
[21:53] [Seraphna] Well... Sarlen has his Bearlclaw Upgrade 2 Fixed... the Ryo Kos is ready
[21:53] * Snipe runs his hand through his short hair, still not used to the cut
[21:54] [Seraphna] I believe Dias has finished your mech...
[21:54] * Wiendigo strolls into the bar with his blade over his shoulder and the door shuts behind him. Screams and chaos can be heard
[21:54] [Snipe] Chip: --- *prepares necessary weaponary against Wiendigo*
[21:54] [Snipe] Doubtful.  He's been busy lately.
[21:54] * Seraphna nodds
[21:55] [Seraphna] Well... if I can get his permission we can have it finished...
[21:55] [Snipe] I'm worried about him, Slasher, and Death Star more I am the mech.
[21:55] [Seraphna] And we have three new mechs ready... I'm not sure how they'll fare though
[21:55] [Snipe] Chip: *opens fire with a flare in front of Wiendigo's face then fires ten tranqs at him*
[21:55] [Seraphna] They're prototypes...
[21:55] [Snipe] Prototypes is not something we need.
[21:56] [Snipe] To unpredictable for an important battle.
[21:56] * Wiendigo deflects the darts with the blade, and just stands there as the flame roars past
[21:56] * Seraphna grins
[21:56] [Seraphna] You don't know our definition of a prototype do ye?
[21:57] [Snipe] Oh yes I do.  That Excalibur was quite enough.
[21:57] *** Alicia is now known as Hotaru_Airier
[21:57] * Snipe points at the shuttle behind him, parked
[21:57] [Seraphna] We use it in the same way Protoman was to Megaman
[21:57] [Seraphna] A working, running, excellent machine, but not the intended article...
[21:57] * Hotaru_Airier wanders into the hangar.
[21:57] * Snipe scans around for Sarlen while Seraphna yaps
[21:58] [Seraphna] *Sarlen laughs out loud and shoves his friend playfully, who goes flying past Snipe and Seraphna
[21:58] [Snipe] ...
[21:58] [Hotaru_Airier] Hi...
[21:58] [Seraphna] Ye know lad... if ye continue down a certain path you'll be callin me mum soon...
[21:58] * Seraphna grins
[21:59] [Seraphna] Hey Hota! You're finally up sleepy head?
[21:59] [Hotaru_Airier] ...?
[21:59] * Snipe 's face darkens some and he looks away
[21:59] [Snipe] I suppose.
[21:59] [Seraphna] *Sarlen
[21:59] [Hotaru_Airier] Yep!
[21:59] [Seraphna] Sarlen] *walking over to her and picking her up* How'ree yah doin sweety?
[21:59] * Seraphna sighs
[21:59] * DeathStar chuckles darkly, tapping the screen
[21:59] * Gravedigger props his feet up on the console
[21:59] [Seraphna] But ai already know what's in yer heart...
[22:00] [Snipe] And what's that, ma'am?
[22:00] [Hotaru_Airier] I'm fine... just... worried.
[22:00] [Gravedigger] Whatcha laughing at, Death? *cranes his head back*
[22:01] * Seraphna smiles, her eyes shining a little with thier faint psionic glow, not being able to read his mind she still gets vibes... "Pure guilt..."
[22:01] * DeathStar looks at Grave, squinting his eyes, as if seeing him for the first time
[22:01] [DeathStar] I think I know where that cannon is.
[22:01] [Snipe] Guilt?  What for?
[22:01] [Gravedigger] Really? Wow, where?
[22:01] [DeathStar] There!  *points at some isolated spot on some big huge asteroid*  Right there!
[22:01] [Gravedigger] Can we blow it up?
[22:01] [Hotaru_Airier] ...
[22:01] * DeathStar leans back, shaking his head
[22:02] [DeathStar] The shuttle's scans, while limited since I don't want it detected, so it's too deep
[22:02] [DeathStar] We could bomb it, delay it's opening, but not by much.  The only time to harm the cannon is right when it's firing and by then it'll be too late.
[22:02] [DeathStar] No, we have to stop it from the inside.  Take out the controls.
[22:02] [Gravedigger] Reconnasince mission, ya think?
[22:02] [Gravedigger] Self-destruct?
[22:03] [Seraphna] You know more than me
[22:03] [DeathStar] Preferably not.  We'd never make it out alive if it was too deep
[22:03] [Seraphna] *Sarlenhugs Hotaru and lets her down
[22:03] * Gravedigger looks out into space
[22:03] [Seraphna] Sarlen] SO what you up to today Hota?
[22:03] * DeathStar shudders, remembering the Planet Killer
[22:03] [Gravedigger] So how do we stop it?
[22:04] [DeathStar] Go inside it.  Take out the leader.  And then send a feedback that will destroy all the CorSec bases on the other head.  Hopefully this will leave the asteroid itself intact.  Without the other CorSec bases, the cannon is useless.  We can just blow the Asteroid up with the Horizon.
[22:04] [Hotaru_Airier] I was thinking of working on the mecha, but if they're all ready...
[22:04] [DeathStar] (head = end)
[22:04] * Wiendigo steps out of the bar, his jacket slightly smoldering to which he puts out with his fingers. Flames and carnage can be seen briefly behind him
[22:04] * Snipe looks at Sera strangely.
[22:04] [Wiendigo] Smoking section, now open. *turns and strolls away whistling*
[22:05] [Seraphna] *Sarlen grin broadly, "Sure hun, Jake, help her out will ayh? I'll come join you as soon as I finish my rounds okay?"
[22:05] [Seraphna] Jake] Sure...
[22:05] * Gravedigger nods
[22:06] *** Kain`Ashbone (BootTo@AC994DEC.ipt.aol.com) Quit (I'll be on AIM if you need me Rekka...THE REST OF YOU DON'T BOTHER ME...)
[22:06] [Gravedigger] It's going to be heavily guarded. Suicide mission. Not that we're not used to it, but...
[22:06] [DeathStar] True.  Whoever their leader is, he isn't stupid.  He'll put everything he has into this one.
[22:06] [DeathStar] Plus we'll have the Black Ops trying to take it out on their own.  If we get in their way, we could easily be wiped out by themt oo.
[22:07] * Hotaru_Airier starts checking over one of the mecha then.
[22:07] * Snipe walks a little ways away from Sera, then waves at Sarlen, calling him over
[22:07] [Seraphna] *Jake watches Hotaru, leaning against a wall
[22:07] [Seraphna] *Sarlen walks over, lighting another cigarrete
[22:07] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Yeah boss man?
[22:08] * Snipe crosses his arms, looking at nothing in particular
[22:08] [Snipe] Tell me.  Why does Elayne not remember the truth about her past?
[22:08] * DeathStar turns to Grave
[22:08] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Her memory was a genetic trait... it died with the Atlan inside her...
[22:08] [Hotaru_Airier] .oO(...?)
[22:08] [DeathStar] You know, if we fail to stop that cannon before it begins to fire, we'll have to have Horizon blow it out of the air.  With us in it.
[22:08] [Hotaru_Airier] ...!
[22:09] [Snipe] But how did she create this new past for herself?
[22:09] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Natural assumptions I guess...
[22:09] * Snipe looks down, thinking
[22:10] [Snipe] What if she has to give into a darker side of herself?  I mean --- would she be okay if it actually came down to her having to fight?
[22:10] [Hotaru_Airier] ...
[22:10] * Hotaru_Airier sighs.
[22:10] [Seraphna] Sarlen] AS long as the fight does not result in murder, she wasn't angry, and she only fought to defend something...
[22:11] [Snipe] And if she was angry, she was having to fight to the death---?
[22:11] [Gravedigger] Yikes...
[22:12] [Seraphna] Sarlen] I have no idea... there seems to be something more to her that I wasn;t able to find... too bad since the final analysis was in the lab
[22:12] * Hotaru_Airier is, by now, paying more attention to Snipe and Sarlen's conversation than the mecha.
[22:12] [Hotaru_Airier] What do you think would happen?
[22:12] * Snipe turns to Hotaru, startled
[22:13] *** Jericho (GoodCop@24.100.55.89.on.wave.home.com) has left #TAW
[22:13] * DeathStar stands up, looking around the room
[22:13] [Seraphna] *Sarlen smiles, "Well hun, she'd either slip into another coma... or maybe awaken some power we haven't seen..."
[22:14] [Hotaru_Airier] I'm sorry, I just overheard... ohh...
[22:14] [Seraphna] *Sarlen leaves out the third option for a good reason
[22:14] [Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Third option?
[22:14] [Seraphna] Sarlen] It's okay hun.
[22:14] [Snipe] .oO (Or maybe it'll just shake her to the core again, like it did in the past...)
[22:14] * Snipe turns around
[22:14] [Snipe] Thanks Sarlen.
[22:14] [Seraphna] NRP: Meaning he trailed off
[22:14] * Snipe walks off
[22:14] [Hotaru_Airier] Why's that, anyway?
[22:14] [Seraphna] *Sarlen nodds
[22:14] [Hotaru_Airier] NRP: No, what is the third option?
[22:14] [Seraphna] Sarlen] I still haven't the foggiest...
[22:14] * Wiendigo steps into the control room, grinning
[22:14] [Seraphna] NRP: Death of course...
[22:15] * DeathStar looks at Wiendigo
[22:15] [Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Eep.
[22:15] [Hotaru_Airier] It's nothing to do with psychological... ummm...
[22:15] [Hotaru_Airier] barriers, is it?
[22:15] * Gravedigger spins in his chair and looks at Wien
[22:15] [Gravedigger] You seem unusally dapper today.
[22:15] [Wiendigo] Stuff it, kid.
[22:16] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Sorta... its a long story hun, maybe Emily could tell you more, she probabyl knows more...
[22:16] * DeathStar walks past Wiendigo, stepping into the hallwayu
[22:16] [Gravedigger] Riighhtt...
[22:16] [Hotaru_Airier] Okay... it's just... I don't think I could handle killing either...
[22:16] * Wiendigo watches DS go past, not turning his head
[22:16] [DeathStar] Chip: Hmmmm.  If Dias wasn't busy, I'd tell him Eve woke up
[22:16] [Seraphna] *Elayne walks down teh hallway, almost banging into DS as she looks down at a datapad
[22:16] * DeathStar stops before hitting Elayne, looking her over.
[22:16] * Wiendigo looks back yo Grave
[22:16] [Seraphna] *Sarlen turns and walks out to the med-bay
[22:16] [Jeraywen] NRP: ............BORED!
[22:16] [Wiendigo] If anyone asks, I was here the entire time.
[22:17] [Seraphna] *Elayne looks up
[22:17] [Hotaru_Airier] ...?
[22:17] [Seraphna] *Elayne eeps!
[22:17] [Gravedigger] ...'Entire time'?
[22:17] * DeathStar raises his eyebrow
[22:17] [DeathStar] Sorry.
[22:17] * Hotaru_Airier follows, completely forgetting about the mech.
[22:17] [Wiendigo] The entire time.
[22:17] [Seraphna] Elayne] Sorry uncle! :)
[22:17] * DeathStar blinks
[22:17] [DeathStar] What?
[22:17] [Gravedigger] ...I'm not even gonna ask...
[22:17] [Seraphna] *Sarlen peeks in on Eve
[22:17] [Wiendigo] Good. Do that.
[22:17] [Seraphna] *Elayne giggles
[22:17] [DeathStar] Eve: *looks around, confused, hitting at X2*
[22:17] [Seraphna] Elayne] I said sorry uncle...
[22:17] [DeathStar] Eve: I am fine!  Let me out!
[22:17] [DeathStar] 'Uncle'?
[22:18] [Seraphna] *sArlen walks over to her
[22:18] [Seraphna] *Elayne grins, "Well that's what all my siblings call you so..."
[22:18] *** X2 (wiendigo@216.65.188.127) has joined #taw
[22:18] * DeathStar sighs
[22:18] [DeathStar] Why does everyone call him uncle.
[22:18] [X2] Ow! Eve, would you CALM down?
[22:18] * DeathStar shakes head, walking down the hallway
[22:18] [Seraphna] Sarlen] She's fine...
[22:18] [Snipe] Eve: *looks at Sarlen* See?  He knows!
[22:18] [Seraphna] *Elayne blinks
[22:19] [Seraphna] Sarlen] I'm here to take her back to the mech corps... *grins, winking
[22:19] [Hotaru_Airier] Mech... o_o;;
[22:19] [Hotaru_Airier] I COMPLETELY FORGOT!
[22:19] [Snipe] Eve: *looks glad she's not being pulled off mechs after the last battle*
[22:19] [X2] That's besides the point! I'm the ranking chief medical officer on this station. Sarlen is not. I need to examine you to make SURE that you are 'fine'.
[22:20] [Snipe] Eve: *sighs, flopping back against the bed.*  I hate being tested.
[22:20] [X2] Se's not going anywhere unti li give her a clean bill of health. You'll have to wait.
[22:20] * Snipe stands there, smirking at X2
[22:20] [X2] We all do, but it has to be done. Now open wide and say 'Ahhh'.
[22:20] [Snipe] You never cahnge.
[22:21] [Snipe] Eve: *gives X2 a look*
[22:21] [Seraphna] *Sarlen undoes anything binding her down and helps her up
[22:21] * X2 reaches his hand behind him, not turning around
[22:21] [Snipe] Eve: *looks a little wobbily, but quickly gets her balance*
[22:21] [Seraphna] Sarlen] As her official supervisor and caretaker I say she's fine... 
[22:21] [X2] Not now, John.
[22:21] [Hotaru_Airier] I guess I'll wait a bit longer since you'll be heading down there...
[22:21] * X2 stands in front of Sarlen
[22:22] * Snipe leans against the doorframe, smirking at the scene
[22:22] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Hun, come with us okay?
[22:22] [Snipe] Eve: *looks at Sarlen briefly, nodding*
[22:22] [X2] And I am the highest ranking medical officer on this station. She goes nowhere until I clear her. Do you understand me, Sarlen?
[22:22] [Seraphna] *Sarlen smiles and puts an arm around Eve, he suddenly vanishes from sight
[22:22] [Seraphna] *She does too
[22:22] [Hotaru_Airier] ...
[22:23] [Hotaru_Airier] ... ... ...
[22:23] [Seraphna] *Hotaru blinks a little and dissapears!
[22:23] [Snipe] Ironic.  Dias saves her life yet Sarlen gets the girl
[22:23] [Hotaru_Airier] Meanwhile, I... O_O
[22:23] * X2 turns to face Snipe, slamming down his medchart
[22:23] [Seraphna] *Sarlen, Eve, and Hotaru end up in Sarlen and Hota's quarters
[22:23] [Snipe] Eve: *looks around, feeling vertigo*
[22:24] [X2] How the hell am I supposed to do any good here if no one respects my authority?
[22:24] * Snipe looks sober
[22:24] * Hotaru_Airier blinks.
[22:24] [X2] I am tired of this, John! This is rediculous!
[22:24] [Snipe] X2, it's not that they don't respect your authority.  It's just that---
[22:24] * Snipe tries to find the right words
[22:24] * X2 waves his hands around
[22:24] [Seraphna] *Sarlen lays her on the bed and sits in a chair
[22:25] [Seraphna] *Elayne walks in, "So X2 how are we doing to---day?
[22:25] [Snipe] It's a tradition to tihnk you're inhuman.  To think you can go the extra distance.  To think nothing in this world can kill you.  To think you are truly invincible.
[22:25] [X2] What? They can 'take care of themselves'? They're 'fine'?
[22:25] * Snipe rests his hands on X2
[22:25] [Snipe] But you see, we can't do that.  That's where you come in.  When we need you, you're there.
[22:25] [Hotaru_Airier] WHat is it?
[22:25] [Snipe] Eve: *blinks her eyes a few times* What happened?  Did --- we win?
[22:26] [Seraphna] *Sarlen nodds, "Aye, and you logged more kills than anyone..."
[22:26] [X2] It's assinine, John. If they won't even wait for a simple examination, then why should they bother with any other treatment?
[22:26] [Snipe] Eve: *nods, closing her eyes* Just need a few moments to rest...*falls asleep*
[22:26] [Seraphna] *Salren looks at Hota and pats his lap, "Come'ere hun"
[22:26] * X2 sighs and looks to Elayne
[22:26] * Snipe looks at Elayne
[22:26] * Hotaru_Airier hops into Sarlen's lap.
[22:26] [Snipe] Ask Elayne.  Am I any different?
[22:27] [X2] Ask me once I'm dead.
[22:27] [Seraphna] *Elayne blinks
[22:27] [Seraphna] *Elayne teardrops and tehn just pounces Snipe
[22:27] [Snipe] Ack!
[22:27] [Seraphna] Elayne] You wander around too much you knwo that?
[22:28] [X2] ...*huffs and goes into his office, slamming the door*
[22:28] [Snipe] I try to keep busy.  *keeps his smile on his face, as he lifts her up and stands up himself.*  Excuse me a moment
[22:28] * Snipe leans against the office door
[22:28] [Snipe] X1, I came down here for two reasons.  One, you and Elayne are going to need to get ready on the medical facility on Horizon in a few hours.
[22:28] [Wiendigo] NRP: 2.
[22:29] [Snipe] ---Two, I wanted to thank you.
[22:29] * Snipe pats the door and turns away from it
[22:30] [Snipe] Well.  You found me.  What is it?
[22:30] * DeathStar stands in the hanger
[22:30] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Hun?
[22:30] * DeathStar closes his eyes, listening to the hum of activity
[22:31] * Seraphna floats down next to DS, "SO... what does one of the only adults left on this bucket of bolts feel about with the next battle so near?"
[22:31] [Snipe] NRP: Yeah, 2.  
[22:31] [Hotaru_Airier] Yeah?
[22:31] * DeathStar opens his eyes and looks sad
[22:31] [DeathStar] I dread it.  More than I dread any of the battles I've had to face in the Alliance so far.
[22:32] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Can you promise me something?
[22:32] [Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Or ignore if that was directed at someone else.
[22:32] [Hotaru_Airier] What?
[22:32] [Seraphna] Sarlen] No matter what happens in the future, you'll stay strong...
[22:32] [DeathStar] Infact, I dread this battle just like I dreaded the battle against the Planet Killer.
[22:32] [Seraphna] *Sarlen looks distant
[22:32] [Hotaru_Airier] I'll try...
[22:32] [Hotaru_Airier] Why?
[22:32] * Seraphna nodds
[22:33] * DeathStar looks at Sera, chosing his words carefully
[22:33] [DeathStar] We're not all going to make it back from this one.
[22:33] [Seraphna] Sarlen] *blinking and smiling again* Just in case hun, just in case...
[22:33] [Seraphna] I know...
[22:33] * DeathStar turns back
[22:33] * Seraphna looks out at the stars
[22:33] [Hotaru_Airier] ...
[22:33] [DeathStar] I also will need Elayne to go into battle as a medic.  Incase someone is hurt.
[22:33] [DeathStar] I haven't told John yet.  He'll throw a fit.
[22:33] [Hotaru_Airier] What did happen to Elly?
[22:33] [Seraphna] You know most of the Atlans have started wearing red correct?
[22:34] * DeathStar looks at Sera
[22:34] [DeathStar] Red?
[22:34] [Seraphna] Sarlen] She lost control of her ATLAN nature and it consumed her, so I had to get rid of her ATLAN half...
[22:34] * Seraphna nodds
[22:34] * Seraphna grins
[22:34] [Hotaru_Airier] Lost control...?
[22:35] [Seraphna] Atlan's begin to wear red when they sence that thier end is drawing near...
[22:35] [DeathStar] ...
[22:35] * Seraphna stretches
[22:35] * DeathStar glances over at Jake
[22:35] [Seraphna] *Jake is wearing all red, even his tool belt has been dyed in teh crimsom color
[22:35] [DeathStar] ...
[22:36] [Seraphna] *Sarlen lossens his red shirt and smiles at his daughter
[22:36] [Hotaru_Airier] Red shirt?
[22:36] [DeathStar] Tonight's the night...
[22:36] * DeathStar sighs
[22:36] [Seraphna] *Many of the Phenixarian volunteers are in red
[22:36] * Snipe is ironically, wearing red *do'h*
[22:37] [Seraphna] Sarlen] What's wrong about a red shirt hun?
[22:37] [Hotaru_Airier] I've never seen you wear one before...
[22:37] * DeathStar turns back to look at the stars
[22:37] [Seraphna] *The only Atlans not wearing red are defence volunteers and medics
[22:37] [DeathStar] ...Katrina...
[22:38] [Seraphna] SArlen] Well... I caught the fashion trend hun, just... don;t wear one okay hun?
[22:38] [Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Does Hota count as a defence volunteer?
[22:38] [Seraphna] NRP: Of course
[22:38] [Hotaru_Airier] Wasn't thinking of.
[22:39] [DeathStar] It's like a gathering is drawing all the people with ties to that Asteroid.  Wonder if Jared feels it too...?
[22:39] [Hotaru_Airier] But... what did you mean by lose control?
[22:39] [Seraphna] Sarlen] If an Atlan doesn't learn to control his or her anger hun... they well... go feral on people...
[22:39] * Seraphna nodds
[22:39] [Seraphna] I'd bet he does...
[22:39] [Hotaru_Airier] ... ... ...
[22:40] [DeathStar] Gordon will be there.
[22:40] [Seraphna] Strangely though... I don't feel a need to go...
[22:40] * Hotaru_Airier looks scared witless.
[22:40] * DeathStar looks at Sera
[22:40] [DeathStar] Even if he's there?
[22:40] * DeathStar is referring to Death
[22:40] * Seraphna nodds
[22:40] [Hotaru_Airier] Y...y...
[22:40] [Seraphna] I left him behind me when he took my past from me... 
[22:41] [DeathStar] Took your past?
[22:41] [Seraphna] I have a husband and children now...
[22:41] [Seraphna] You remember when I was anemic...
[22:41] [DeathStar] Yes.
[22:41] [Seraphna] It was his fault...
[22:41] * DeathStar nods
[22:41] [Hotaru_Airier] you mean... berserk?
[22:41] [DeathStar] If he's there, I plan on ending things with him.
[22:42] [Seraphna] *Sarlen nodds
[22:42] [Seraphna] Strangely... I think Airier won't be thier either...
[22:42] [DeathStar] Even if it's Spade behind this?
[22:42] [Seraphna] His real adversary is here...
[22:42] * Seraphna quirks a brow to DS
[22:43] * DeathStar notes who that is
[22:43] [Hotaru_Airier] I... don't know if I can fight any more.
[22:43] [Seraphna] I think you two will face each other once more... and both of you will find your destiny, and yourselves...
[22:43] * DeathStar shakes head
[22:43] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Bless you kiddo, its better if you don't...
[22:43] [DeathStar] I wish his destiny wasn't tied with mine.  I know who I am.  I've always known who I am.
[22:44] [Seraphna] Have you?
[22:44] * Seraphna looks at his armor
[22:44] * DeathStar is actually wearing his casual clothes
[22:44] * Wiendigo stands in the center of the control room, looking out at the stars
[22:44] [Seraphna] I'm 135 years old DeathStar, I still don't know who I am...
[22:44] [Seraphna] *exactly my point
[22:44] [DeathStar] That's the point, Sera.
[22:45] * Wiendigo cracks his knuckles with a clench of his hand
[22:45] [DeathStar] You can't find yourself.  You evolve and grow.  I'm not Death Star.   Yet I am Death Star.  You are not Seraphna.  Yet you are Seraphna.
[22:45] [DeathStar] We'll always change, always grow, always become something else.

[22:45] * Gravedigger looks puzzled and turns to Wien
[22:45] [Seraphna] You'll understand my words next time you meet him my friend... 
[22:45] [Gravedigger] What's that?

[22:47] * Seraphna looks up at him
[22:47] [Wiendigo] I've been fighting them since I was made. And they never stay dead. They will this time.
[22:47] * Wiendigo pulls out a disk from his belt and taps it
[22:47] [DeathStar] Chip: IT's just because you never had ME on your team before.
[22:48] [Wiendigo] I have the knowledge, and knowledge is-Shut your hole, digifuck, I ain't talkin' to you!
[22:48] [Seraphna] DS... be careful, you may have t fight him and your own demons... sometimes fate forces it on us
[22:48] * DeathStar shakes head

[22:49] [DeathStar] What about her?
[22:49] [Wiendigo] NRP: *shrugs* Sounded good.
[22:50] * Wiendigo takes the disk and inserts it into a drive
[22:50] [Seraphna] How do you feel about my sister DS...
[22:50] * DeathStar looks straight ahead'
[22:50] [Seraphna] Tell me... don't make me have to feel for it...
[22:50] [DeathStar] I'll always love her, I suppose.  But when she was gone, I started --- started talking with Iceheart.  In a lot of ways, we click, just like we did back then.  I realize I still do love Iceheart.
[22:51] * DeathStar looks down
[22:51] [Hotaru_Airier] Even before... I had a bad temper...
[22:51] * Seraphna nodds

[23:22] [Seraphna] Sarlen] I'm sure I wil...
[23:22] [DeathStar] Right
[23:22] [DeathStar] Comm: All Wraiths, ALL Wraiths.  Report to the hanger and get into shuttles
[23:23] [DeathStar] Comm: This includes you, Garland --- 
[23:23] * Gravedigger enters the hanger
[23:23] [Hotaru_Airier] ...
[23:23] [DeathStar] GM: *all Wraiths not present begin to load into shuttles*
[23:23] * Dominator enters the hangar, with everything he needs
[23:23] [Seraphna] Sarlen] But... I think Hotaru needs a mom to come home as well...
[23:23] * Snipe keeps a look out for X2
[23:23] [Seraphna] *Sarlen grins and gives her a fligth suit
[23:23] * Wiendigo throws his cigar butt away
[23:23] [Seraphna] *Sarlen winks and walks off
[23:23] [Dias] SlasheR: *double checks the mechs*
[23:23] [Wiendigo] Let's end this.
[23:23] * Dominator heads into his shuttle
[23:23] [DeathStar] Once and for all.
[23:24] * X2 enters the hanger, looking frustrated and heads straight for a shuttle
[23:24] * Seraphna heads to her starcutter, her skeleton wing following and the techs for its mechs also
[23:24] [Snipe] Eve: *holds the flight suit* A mom...?
[23:24] [DeathStar] Chip, we're leaving a few techs here with mechs for you
[23:24] [Dias] Take care of it Snipe..
[23:24] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Hey... only an idea right?
[23:24] [Snipe] You can count on me.
[23:24] * Hotaru_Airier sighs.
[23:24] [Snipe] Eve: *nods, smiling* Lets go.  *begins to dress*
[23:25] [Hotaru_Airier] I guess that includes me, though...
[23:25] * Dias nods, completely concentrated on his work
[23:25] [Seraphna] *Sarlen walks into the mech bay and hugs Hotaru
[23:25] [Snipe] Eve: *walks in, zipping her flight uniform up*
[23:25] [Seraphna] Sarlen] Hotaru... you need to stay here...
[23:25] * Hotaru_Airier hugs back tight.
[23:25] * Hotaru_Airier nods.
[23:25] [DeathStar] Chip: Yeah, Hotaru, I need the help.
[23:25] * Dias glances at Sarlen, his fist clenching against his mech
[23:25] [DeathStar] NRP: *thinks he's handed out all the music*
[23:26] * DeathStar nods
[23:26] [Dominator] NRP: Lemme unzip mine
[23:26] * X2 takes a look at Eve as she walks in and jots down something on a pad
[23:26] [DeathStar] Well, lets do this.
[23:26] [DeathStar] Pause

* DeathStar stands there, looking out at all the faces
* Dominator faces DS, silent
*** Hotaru_Airier is now known as Kyouki

[Dias] Slasher: *sits at a console*
[Wiendigo] Whoop-de-fuck.

* Dominator nods
[Velocity] Just one big happy family
* Velocity looks at them all
[Seraphna] Sarlen] [Shove it for a bit okay Dias... I don;t need your envy or greed right now... I need a pilot out there with me who's going to help me win...]
*** WereWolfBob has joined #taw
* DeathStar stands there, arms crossed
[Seraphna] Sarlen] [100% is not good enough in my book, I need you with me 200% or more... well?]
*** WereWolfBob is now known as Slasher
[DeathStar] Everyone ---- ready to listen to the battle plan?
* Dominator nods
[Dominator] Yes
* Seraphna nodds
[Seraphna] *SArlen nodds
[Wiendigo] No.
[Kyouki] I think so...
* Eve` looks nervous
* /sound: no such file 'The.mp3'
[Dias] *turns to Sarlen and whispers* First off, I outrank you, second off, I don't give a flying shit what you want from me ok? And I'll do it my way without your damned help...
* /sound: no such file 'To_The_Base.mid'
* Dias turns away from him and crosses his arms ignoring him
* DeathStar clears throat and brings up one of the picture images they got of the Asteroid
[DeathStar] This is our target.
* Dominator looks it over
[Velocity] ---a giant rock?
[Seraphna] [Good, well I'll be watching out for you incase the amazing solo runs into trouble, you may hate me ut I hold nothing against you...]
[Kyouki] Well, yes...
[Slasher] We all know it looks about as interesting as your last girlfriend..
[DeathStar] Inside this "giant rock", is our enemy's main stronghold.
[DeathStar] All the remaining CorSec bases in this galaxy are powering this asteroid in order to get the cannon operational on board.
[Dias] *whispers* I don't need your fucking help, and I especially don't need your false praise...
* DeathStar points at the screen
[DeathStar] If the cannon fires, Earth will be wiped out of life.
[X2] Fera: Woo hoo!
[Velocity] That's a bad thing!
*** Alysia has joined #TAW
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Alysia
* DeathStar leans back against a console
[X2] Fera: For you, maybe.
[DeathStar] I'm not sure what all is in there.  But if I'm right, this is a type of "put all your eggs in one basket" deal.
* DeathStar points at some gun turrents that are visible
[DeathStar] The asteroid's outside is heavily armed with tons of weaponary.  It'll be impossible to land in the hanger bay with these guns operational
* Slasher sits at the console making sure everythings running in operational levels
[Alysia] So we take them out first...
[Alysia] NRP: Kyouki
[DeathStar] Correct.  A team of mech pilots will be doing the first assault.
*** Kyouki has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Alysia)))
*** Alysia is now known as kyouki
[DeathStar] Snipe - Sarlen - Eve - Dias.
[DeathStar] It's up to you guys to punch a hole through their defenses.
* Eve` nods
* DeathStar points at the location of the cannon
* Dias breathes slowly
[DeathStar] Velocity - you'll be flying a star fighter over the cannon's hatch area.  It's up to you to drop some heavy payloads onto it and slow the process of opening the launch doors.
[DeathStar] If we can buy ourselves an hour, we'll be doing good.
[DeathStar] The cannon itself cannot be harmed or damaged until it fires - then it's too late.
* Dominator is silently assessing the situation and the plan in his mind as DS speaks
[DeathStar] So, the assault team, which is composed of me, Dominator, Grave, Wiendigo, Kyouki, Slasher, and Elayne - will be flying in a shuttle, Excalibur, into the hanger.
[DeathStar] Once there, we shall secure the hanger so we can get the mech pilots in plus reinforcements.
* Wiendigo punches his fist
[Wiendigo] Now we're talkin'.
[DeathStar] The rest of you are to stay here on Horizon.
[DeathStar] Until we call for the reinforcements.
* DeathStar taps the screen
[DeathStar] Our only hope of stopping this cannon is to take out the leader and turn the power off on it.  Then we'll throw a feedback to all the CorSec bases and blow them up.  After that, we can escape and use Horizon to blow the Asteroid up
* DeathStar looks grave
[DeathStar] We fail to stop the cannon before it begins to fire, Horizon will have to fire.
[DeathStar] With us on it.
[kyouki] ...
*** kyouki is now known as Kyouki
* DeathStar taps on the asteroid one final time, the imagine vanishing
* Dominator nods grimly
[Seraphna] NRP: NIGHT ALL!
[DeathStar] Any questions?
* DeathStar turns around
[Slasher]  NRP: Nightl
[Kyouki] NRP: Night!
[Velocity] Great, I get to bomb things.
[Eve`] I can do this.
[Slasher] So when do we throw the victory party?
[Kyouki] ...
[Dominator] Do we have any idea who is on this station?
[DeathStar] None.
[X2] When we win, Slasher. Not before.
[Dominator] Hmm
* DeathStar points at X2
[Slasher] But we're gonna throw one right?
[DeathStar] We're going to need you here incase we have to send wounded back
*** Seraphna has quit IRC (Get in a White Mage costume and branishes teh GIANT HAMMER!!!)
[DeathStar] Plus, if no one with a calm head will shoot Horizon down, it falls on you.
[X2] *nods* I figured as much.
* Dominator silents notes DS perhaps should have said "when we have to send wounded back"
* X2 looks at DS blankly3
[Slasher] NRP: Why would he shoot horizon down?
[DeathStar] NRP: Er, the asteroid
[Snipe] Well, lets go to the mech bay, pilots
* Snipe walks off
[Dominator] NRP: X2: But I thought I was supposed to shoot the Horizon down...! Sorry!
[X2] I...I-*looks down* Okay..
* DeathStar nods once at him
[Slasher] NRP: X2: Ok...just hit this button..*hits a button causing Horizon to self-destruct, leaving the asteriod clear*
[DeathStar] Besides, the last time I was in a no-win situation, your father saved the day.
[X2] NRP: Tree! Tree! *swerves*
* Dias walks down to the mechbay
* Gravedigger looks up, then away
* DeathStar remembers the Planet Killer
* Dominator glances at DS, rembering the times X1 saved them
* X2 looks up, then away
[DeathStar] NRP: Into #tawmechs
[X2] *under his breath* But I'm not my father..
[Dominator] We should have been killed then... but we weren't. Let's not go against the precedent...
*** Dias has left #taw
* DeathStar claps hands together
[DeathStar] Well, the rest of us will get onto the Excalibur.

[DeathStar] NRP: If you want to watch, join #tawmechs
* Dominator follows DS onto the Excalibur
*** Snipe has left #taw
* Wiendigo follows DS
* Gravedigger follows Wien
* Dominator goes over to man the weapons console on the Excalibur
[DeathStar] NRP: Actually, there's no weapons console
* DeathStar walks towards the cockpit, opening the door
[Dominator] NRP: Oh... Hrm
* DeathStar turns around
[DeathStar] I promise a safe ride
* DeathStar closes the door
* Slasher sits at the same console
* Dominator sits near DS then
[DeathStar] NRP: The pilot does all the things then.
[DeathStar] NRP: but there is a co-pilot seat, if something happens to the pour pilot
* Wiendigo plops into the co-pilots seat
* DeathStar puts the Excalibur's visor over his eyes
* Dominator glances at Wiendigo in th eco-pilot seat
* Gravedigger straps in

[Dominator] Just like old times, huh?
* DeathStar chuckles
[DeathStar] Not this time.  This time, it's personal.
* DeathStar powers Excalibur up
* Dominator nods, glancing down, as determined as anyone to stop CorSec
[DeathStar] NRP: Now Play Asteroid Base.mid  (Can't play them since they ahve spaces  -_-)
* DeathStar watches the mechs flying out
* Dominator watches as well, wishing them luck silently
[Wiendigo] Let's go.
[DeathStar] Not yet.
[DeathStar] The defenses are 100%
[Dominator] We have to wait for the mech team
[DeathStar] We need to wait until they are down to 60%
[Wiendigo] Goddammit..
[Dominator] All we can do now is wait... and watch
[DeathStar] NRP: Now play Assault asteroid Base
* Wiendigo pops his claws and jams them into the seat rest, growling
[Wiendigo] I can't fucking take this...
[Kyouki] ...
[Dominator] I'd have thought you'd be more used to this by now, Wiendigo... Some say the waiting is the hardest part. They're probably right...
* Dominator waits calmly
[Wiendigo] Bootlicker, I have a very short patience quota, and I've about used it up. Shut your fucking mouth before I shut it for you.
[Dominator] All right...
[DeathStar] NRP: Hold on, people, I'm going to rename these midis and send them back to you all
* DeathStar sighs
* Dominator watches the screen intently
*** Gravedigger has quit IRC (I am the everlasting worm.)
*** Wiendigo has quit IRC (I am the everlasting worm.)
*** X2 has quit IRC (I am the everlasting worm.)
[Kyouki] NRP: AH! Which one of them is?

[SOUND]
* Dominator grimaces as he watches Dias' mech take a big hit
[DeathStar] ...85%.
[Dominator] They've got their work cut out for them...
[DeathStar] Velocity's Starfigher is heading for the cannon,
[Dominator] He's got to accomplish his task...
[SOUND]
[Dominator] If he doesn't... *trails off*
[DeathStar] Then we'll have to attack that asteroid with Horizon before we can even land.
[DeathStar] Elayne: John...
[DeathStar] 80%.
[Dominator] Halfway there...
*** Jeraywen has quit IRC (I am more of a bitch than Mina.....Hear me Roar........MEW!)

[DeathStar] Gravedigger: Holy shit..
[Dominator] Can you destroy them?
* DeathStar doesn't respond, his eyes hidden under the visor

* ProjectGenesis steps forward
* Dominator uses Ebony Crystal, increasing his next shot's power
[ProjectGenesis] It does not matter.  I shall wipe them out.

[Slasher] Yeah...
* ProjectGenesis cocks his head
[ProjectGenesis] Then why don't you all show me have much 22 years can change you?
[ProjectGenesis] I am not letting you pass.
[Slasher] Wonder if it has anything on X1...
[DeathStar] We have no choice.  We have to take it down.
