[Gravedigger] Scan for weaknesses, armor composition, ANYTHING that'll get us an advantage.
[Dias] Doing it
[Velocity] GM: *weaknesses...none detected*
* Dias scans the armor type
[Scott] NRP] I didn't think Scott has a mech... what'm I gonna do, then?
[Gravedigger] Whatabout exhaust ports?
[Snipe] NRP: None of us brought a mech
* Dias spins the mechs around and looks at the exhaust ports
[Dias] Maybe we can clog 'em
[Velocity] GM: *a new type of metal never seen before.  Mined from some unheard of world*
[Dias] Metal's unknown..
[Velocity] GM: *there are no detectable exhaust ports*
[Dias] ...How the hell do these things run without exhaust ports...*Scans for an energy typE*
[Velocity] GM: *they seem to be using some type of energy field to move themselves*
[SOUND]
* Gravedigger rubs his chin
[Gravedigger] Hmm...
* Velocity throws them into a spin to dodge more blasts
[Dias] ...Snipe, can you possibly nail one of their mechs with your Energy Dampener?
*** Garland has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[Snipe] Energy dampener?
[Gravedigger] Dias, scan for psionic energy.
* Dias shrugs
* Dias scans for psionic energy
[Velocity] GM: *psionic energy detected*
[Dias] ....Bingo Grave
[Gravedigger] They're using psions. Dammit.
[Dias] ...Snipe thats your field..
[Gravedigger] It's up to you, dude.
[Snipe] Yeah, but I can only stop a person I can see in front of me.  I can't reach a pilot in a hunk of metal.
[Dias] ....Why not?
[Snipe] I'm not good enough!
[Dias] Well your gonna try damnt
* Snipe holds head
[Snipe] Plus I'm sleepy.
[Gravedigger] Do we have spacesuits on board?
[Velocity] GM: *ship shakes from a hit*
[Fera] I'l lgo!
[Gravedigger] Shut up.
[Fera] Aww..
[Scott] Gah! We're under attack!
[Dias] Damnt Snipe...
* Gravedigger looks at Scott
[Snipe] ....
[Gravedigger] ...DUH!
* Snipe nods and grabs the door
[Snipe] I'll have to go out there to try.
[Dias] Get your suit on..
* Gravedigger follows Snipe
* Snipe looks out at the stars
* Dias goes to the cockpit and takes the weapons console
[Snipe] Oh --- yeah---good idea.
[Gravedigger] Think of it like swimming.
* Snipe walks into the back and comes back out, suited up
[Scott] I oughtta get my armor converted to be able to be a spacesuit...
[Snipe] I can't swim.
* Snipe opens the door and jumps out
* Dias begins to power up the weapons
[Gravedigger] Then think of it like falling with grace.
[Scott] Swimming? But isn't it a vacuum out there?
[Gravedigger] ...
[Gravedigger] Scott, don't think, you'll hurt yourself.
* Gravedigger dives out after Snipe
* Snipe floats in space
* Velocity closes the door with a switch
* Dias tries to lock onto a mech
[Fera] oooooo...
* Velocity aims it right at a mech and flies at it.
* Snipe picks one mech and concentrates
* Gravedigger takes out his sai and shovel
[Snipe] GM: *nearby is a planet, who's gravity field is pulling Snipe and Grave toward it*
* Dias scans the mechs
[Snipe] GM: *same scan info as before*
[Gravedigger] ....oO(Yuh oh...)
[SOUND]
* Snipe holds out hand, concentrating
[Dias] Comm: Keep trying Snipe
* Dias scans again
[Snipe] GM: *same scan info as before*
[Gravedigger] Comm: Uh, guys...we're being pulled into the planet's orbit...
* Snipe grits teeth
[Velocity] Dammit, do we pick them up?
* Velocity dodges some attacks
[Dias] wait...*Scans again*
[Velocity] GM: *the mech's manuevering is slowing down*
[Dias] He's almost got it...
[Scott] Umm... I might be able to pull them back with telekinesis... But only one at a time.
[Dias] *scans again*
[Velocity] Snipe's immune to it, so concentrate on the reploid guy.  Gravedigger.
[Snipe] GM: *the mech has stopped*
* Dias opens fire on the stopped mech
[Snipe] GM: *it becomes dented, but it's powerful armor holds.  The other two mechs blast Excalibur from behind*
[Opal] NRP: that was a rip off armored core =P
[Scott] NRP] Velocity was talking to me? Or someone else?
[Snipe] NRP: Armoed Core?
[Gravedigger] Comm: Try to leave one mech in tact, we can haul one back with us.
[Snipe] NRP: You.
* Dias keeps firing, this time aiming for joints
[Opal] NRP: its a video game
[Snipe] NRP: Never played it.
[Opal] NRP: gravedigger is a character in there and junk
[Opal] NRP: its mech based 
* Scott walks to the window and looks out at gravedigger, and begins to concentrate...
[SOUND]
[Snipe] GM: *the mech's arm explodes off*
* Velocity jerks the ship to the side to keep it from being blasted
[Opal] NRP: anywho thats all for me, back to work
[Velocity] Comm: What about the factory below?
* Dias aims for the mechs head
* Snipe begins to slip on his concentration
[Scott] ...Got him, I think. Okay, I'll try to pull him back a bit and then cancel the gravity's pull on him...
[Velocity] Rodger, Scott.
* Dias opens fire on the mechs head
[Snipe] GM: *it explodes*
[Gravedigger] Comm: Swing me by Snipe
* Snipe looks at Grave and activates the suits jets, flying at him
[Dias] Velocity, tractor that mech arm and attach it to the shuttle
* Velocity nods, his eyes hidden behind the visor
[Gravedigger] Comm: Snipe, wha'ts the radius of your nul-field?
* Scott does that, then: Pulls gravedigger back to where he was before the planet started pulling him in, aand then just keeps canseling out the gravity';s effect on him.
* Velocity taps a few buttons and tractors the arm
[Snipe] Comm: No idea.
[Gravedigger] ...
* Dias scans for the other two mechs
* Snipe stops the jetpack and flies by Grave
[Dias] Hopefully that scared them off
[Snipe] GM: *they are...BEHIND YOU!  RUN!*
* Velocity feels the ship shake
[Velocity] Gah1
* Gravedigger swings his scythe out towards Snipe
* Snipe snags it, then notices one of the mechs is heading for them.
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Aw shit.
* Dias locks onto the mech heading for Snipe and Grave and opens fire on the neck of the mech
[Gravedigger] Comm: Don't suppose you've ever tried projecting your field, have you?
[Snipe] Mech: *manuevers out of the way*
[Snipe] Comm: Projecting it how?
[Gravedigger] Comm: Aiming it.
[Dias] Shit too fast...
[Gravedigger] Comm: Firing.
[Snipe] Comm: That's how I stopped the last one.
* Gravedigger pulls out his sai
* Dias fires again
[Gravedigger] Comm: On three.
[Snipe] Mech: *dodges once more*
* Snipe grits teeth
[Gravedigger] Comm: One.
[Gravedigger] Comm: *pulls his arm back* Two
[Gravedigger] Comm: *throws the sai at teh mech* THREE! NOW!
* Snipe does his thing, the mech comes to a screeching halt, the sai stabbing it
* Dias opens fire on the mech aiming fore the cockpit area
* Velocity dodges the mech attacking them still and aims at the one attacking Grave/Snipe
[Gravedigger] NRP: ...Okay, not how I planned that, but whatever works, eh.
[Snipe] GM: *the cockpit explodes out, the pieces nailing Grave and Snipe*
[Gravedigger] OW! Sonovabitch!
* Dias tractor onto some of it's hull and pull it in Velocity
[Velocity] Scott, can you hold onto Grave?!
[Dias] NRP: that was said..
* Gravedigger pulls his sai back
* Velocity complies.
* Scott nods. "Yeah."
[Dias] Comm: one more Snipe
* Velocity dodges the attacks by the last mech
[Snipe] Comm: Ca-Can't..

[Gravedigger] Comm: C'mon Snipr, just one more.
[Velocity] ..
* Velocity flies in to the side of the mech
[SOUND]
[Fera] Are they dead yet?
[Dias] Holy shit..Velocity
* Velocity tried to ram it, only to have it dodge them.
[Velocity] Grr.
* Velocity flies behind it.
[Dias] It's too fast dude..
[Velocity] My ass.
[Dias] Darn our pilot egos
[Velocity] Mech: *darts to the right*
* Velocity spins to the right
[Dias] Get ready....*fires to the right*
[Snipe] Comm: What in the hell is he doing!?
[Velocity] Mech: *is hit, spinning*
[Dias] Ram it now
* Velocity rams into it
[Velocity] Mech: *bounces away, spinning'
* Dias opens fire point blank range
[Velocity] Mech: *explodes*
[Dias] I advise we bring back these pieces to Origin..
[Velocity] So leave the factory for now?
* Velocity flies over Grave
[Gravedigger] Comm: We sitll need to take out that factory.
[Dias] Ok...Velocity drops us off and hauls the cargo back
*** Kain`Ashbone is now known as Kain|SOTN|Richter
* Velocity opens up a ramp for Grave
[Dias] Slasher and Sera might wanna see this metal
* Gravedigger hauls Snipe in as he goes up the ramp
* Snipe closes the ramp, pulling the helmet off. His face is covered in sweat.
*** Speak|d2x has joined #taw
* Velocity flies through the planet's atmosphere
* Scott stops the hold on grave once he's inside.
[Snipe] Can we go home now?
[Gravedigger] No. Factory.
* Velocity brings the Excalibur to a halt near the factor, opening the ramp
[Snipe] Lets do it then.
* Dias runs down the ramp

* Velocity looks around
[Scott] NRP] Back to where the mech is, ya mean? We got one, didn't we?
[Snipe] NRP: Back to base.
[Fera] NRP: Pieces of them, actually.
[Scott] NRP] Ah. Our base is on a planet? I thought we were on origin?
[Snipe] NRP: *looks at Scott*
*** Garland has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Garland
* Velocity closes the ramp and flies away...quickly.
* Snipe looks at the outline of the factory.
[Scott] Sure...
[Snipe] I wish we brought our mechs.
* Scott walks outside.
[Gravedigger] Should've thought of that sooner, genius.
[Scott] NRP] Err... What,. we're going in the factory, or back to base?
[Gravedigger] NRP: FACTORY.
[Snipe] NRP: Vel was going back to the base.
[Opal] NRP: fear factory kicks ass
