Session 142: The Psionic Wars Part II

Session Start: Mon Aug 06 20:35:05 2001
* Logging #taw to 'logs\#taw.log'
[Snipe] Time Chart: November 5th (the next day)
[Snipe] Location: Origin, Control Room - Mandatory Meeting
* Snipe is present yet, and he called the meeting!
[Snipe] (isn't)
* Scott looks around.
*** Ripple has joined #TAW
* Diamondback crosses his arms, leaning against the wall
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he waits for Snipe
* Avatar glances around at the members and the control room
[Ripple] [Wheeeeeere's Johnny?!]
[Snipe] Chip: Hum hum hum doodly dum.
* Kyo`Yokuo pulls out long colt and a rage, cleaning it
* Scott plays an Arkanoid clone on a game device. Beep, blip, bip, bloop.
* Diamondback boredly hovers upside down
* Snipe runs in, his hair wet and his shirt barely on.
[Snipe] I'm here, I'm here.
* Snipe pulls on his coat, adjusting it.
[Diamondback] {Why is it that whenever you call a meeting, you're late?}
* Scott turns off the device and putts it away.
[Snipe] I had to take a shower.
* Diamondback flips to his feet
[Snipe] I was up all night.
[Avatar] ... {Well, I see that everything hasn't changed...}
[Snipe] Change?  Us?
* Kyo`Yokuo laughs lightly
* Avatar smiles
* Snipe steps into the middle of the room and looks around at those present.
[Snipe] Hrm, I was hoping more psionics would show up.
[Ripple] {You should find a towel.}
* Scott looks around. "Who's missing?"
[Kyo`Yokuo] {Well we be the lot of them}
[Snipe] Elayne and Sera for one...guess they're mind at me.
[Snipe] (mad)
[Ripple] {Nothing new.}
[Avatar] {They may have attempted to go on their own...}
[Snipe] Doubtful.
[Diamondback] {Who knows? Sera's family apparently has some problem with this whole idea.}
[Snipe] Well, *nodding at Spirit in the corner* Shall we begin?  I see Kyouki and Hota aren't here either.
[Scott] NRP] Are {}'s thoughts?
[Snipe] NRP: No, talking out loud/plus telepathic.
[Avatar] NRP: Just telepathy is [ ]
[Snipe] NRP: Thought bubbles are .oO ()
*** Syria is now known as Hotaru_Airier
[SOUND]
* Ripple looks up
* Hotaru_Airier flies in, in catgon form
[Scott] NRP] How do we heaar those sounds?
[Hotaru_Airier] Sowwy I be late!
[Scott] NRP] What's a catgon?
[Snipe] Yesterday, at point A, *taps a holovid that has popped up* we unlocked some type of...power source.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP] Think Ruby
[Diamondback] NRP: Quit asking questions and run with it.
[Avatar] NRP: Private telepathy is: *to whoever* [Heya.]
[Scott] NRP] Who's Ruby?
[Avatar] NRP: Options - Sounds - Request - Check "Accept Requests"
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP] ... cat-like dragon from Lunar 2
[Diamondback] {Lemme guess... that's what we're looking for.}
[Snipe] NRP: *gives up RPing*
[Scott] NRP] Nall?
* Avatar nods
[Snipe] NRP: Take it to #tawnrp!
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP] Same thing.
[Snipe] That's correct.  Chip is picking up powerful psionic powers emitting from this planet.
* Diamondback 's and Ripple's eyes glow purple for a second, then return
* Avatar his own eyes glow purple as well
[Snipe] Plus millions of psionics are heading there as we speak.  All over the galaxy, there has been outbreaks of fights between psi user and psi user.  Tsivrixsh have called martial law.
* Diamondback closes his eyes for a moment
* Kyo`Yokuo listens to Snipe
[Hotaru_Airier] Wy eyes gwow puwple?
[Diamondback] {Yep... I can sense it too. This is MAJOR.}
[Ripple] {If we don't get that first, thing's'll get hairy against the Tsiv...}
[Avatar] {Somehow I doubt even the Tsivrixsh can contain millions of psionics.}
[Snipe] Probably not.  But they're trying to maintain order.
[Diamondback] {And the last thing we need is another major enemy.}
[Hotaru_Airier] =o.o=
[Snipe] I tried to contact the Alliance for help, but unfortantly, they are blocked in it seems, by a huge Tsvirxish fleet.
[Hotaru_Airier] [I scawed.]
[SOUND]
[Diamondback] {Figures.}
[Snipe] So, we're on our own...in a big way.
*** Hotaru_Airier is now known as Syria
* Scott nods, listening.
[Ripple] {So... we're still standing around. Millions of psions are racing for the universe's "ultimate power". ...What's wrong with this picture?}
[Avatar] {Hmmm.}
* Scott hmms. "I guess he has a point...."
[Snipe] Charging in blindly, Ripple, is not a good idea.
[Kyo`Yokuo] {yea.. same thoughts here..}
[Snipe] So far, psions are blowing each other out of space with their powers.
[Diamondback] {Like we have room for a plan?}
[Snipe] The closer you get to that planet, the more powerful you become.
[Diamondback] {So we make sure we're the first to get there.}
[Kyo`Yokuo] {I like the sounds of that..}
* Snipe shakes head.
* Diamondback nods, looking a little worried
[Ripple] {There CAN'T be psions flying at the planet from every direction.}
[Snipe] Do you people even know what you'll be tackling?  Think about it, millions of psions are there, ready to blow up at anyone who gets in their way.  We have a full fledge..WAR here.
[Syria] [Dis no good...]
[Syria] NRP: Hota says that.
* Avatar nods
[Diamondback] {Hotaru's right... this ISN'T good.}
[Snipe] Within a day or two, the Tsivrixsh fleets will be there, ready to blow up anything that gets in their way.
* Kyo`Yokuo nods
[Syria] 5[4Hotaru5] ].[
[Kyo`Yokuo] {oh shit...}
* Avatar eyes shift purple as he sees what the Enhanced's current plan is
[Snipe] I would like to take the mechs, but I think that'll make them a bigger target.  But I do have a plan.
[Ripple] {Which means, we get there before tomorrow.}
*** Hik|AWAY has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Scott looks at Snipe and listens.
[Kyo`Yokuo] {lets hear it]
[Kyo`Yokuo] *}
[Avatar] {Continue.}
[Diamondback] {Uh oh. Everybody get down, Snipe has a plan!}
* Diamondback dives under the table
* Avatar chuckles at DB
[Snipe] We're going to take Excalibur there.  Normally, one shuttle by itself wouldn't hold a chance in hell.
[Syria] [No can be dat bad...]
[Syria] NRP: RRRGGHHH
[Syria] 5[4Hotaru5] [What diffwent?]
* Ripple telekinetically drags DB out from under the table, and holds him up by his feet
[Snipe] However, with everyone looking out for battleships and bigger ships, we should be able to slip in almost unnoticed.  Especially with a psion cloak.
[Snipe] That's why I'm taking every psion we have here.
* Diamondback thrashes, and breaks the hold, but slams into the floor face first
[Snipe] Together, you should all be able to hide us;
[Syria] 5[4Hotaru5] [We no should take Kyooki.]
* Scott nods.
* Ripple snickers, and nods
* Kyo`Yokuo nods
[Ripple] {Just me, Chris, and Ryan should be able to provide all the cloak we need.}
[Avatar] {That's a possibility. Remember that with so many psions nearby, a psion cloak my not be a full-proof protection...}
[Snipe] Once on the planet, that's a different story.  We'll have to find the power source, avoid millions of Tsivrixsh, and ... who knows what else.  *Glances at DB*
[Avatar] {Ripple's right though. Considering we can coordinate our powers the best.}
*** Hik|AWAY has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Hik|AWAY
[Diamondback] *looks up* {...What?}
[Syria] NRP: WB
[Avatar] {The planet isn't normally inhabitted by the Tsivrixsh, correct?}
[Snipe] IT's in their territory, but was overlooked.  It's almost like it appeared out of nowhere.
[Syria] .oO(Hmm...)
[Syria] NRP: I'm gonna change nicks
*** Syria is now known as Hotaru_Airier
* Avatar nods, then remembers Snipe can't see him
[Diamondback] {Strange.} *stands up*
[Hotaru_Airier] [What stwange?]
[Kyo`Yokuo] {Hmm...anything else Snipe?}
[Snipe] Our group will only be of psions today.  I'm leaving all non-psion users behind.  Excluding myself.
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Any questions?
[Diamondback] {Of course... the fewer people, the better...}
[Avatar] {Considering your imunity to psionics, Snipe, you may be the safest person there.}
* Diamondback concentrates for a moment, then returns to reality - Ripple does the same
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: WOOHOO! *goes Neo-ATLAN*
* Snipe turns and waves his hand
[Snipe] To the hanger.
* Snipe walks out of the control room and down the hallway.
[Hotaru_Airier] Okie!
* Hotaru_Airier flies out of the room.
* Snipe walks down a flight of stairs until he reaches another hallway.
* Snipe follows it to the hanger, where Velocity has the Excalibur prepared.
* Kyo`Yokuo follow Snipe
* Scott follows...
* Avatar follows Snipe
* Snipe stops, crossing his arms
* Diamondback teleports to the hanger. Ripple opens a warp with a blade and follows.
[Snipe] .oO (Why do I have a bad feeling about this group...?)
* Hotaru_Airier flies to the hangar.
* Snipe shakes head, jumping onto the Excalibur. He grabs a seat in the very back
* Kyo`Yokuo gets in and sits up with Ron in the co-poilet seat
* Diamondback and Rippls get on the Excalibur and remain silent
* Avatar follows DB and Ripple
[Snipe] The Enhanced will be there, I suppose, DB.
* Hotaru_Airier flies her way into the Excalibur and sits down.
* Snipe looks out the window, not at him.
* Scott finds a seat near the front. "One of these days, I should get my armor modified to be able to be a temporary spaacesuit incase that becomes necessary...
[Hotaru_Airier] Eep.
[Snipe] Velocity: *lifts the Excalibur up into the air*
[Kyo`Yokuo] Lets do it Ron..
[Hotaru_Airier] Ya!
* Avatar glances at Snipe
*** Hik|AWAY is now known as Hikaryuu
[Snipe] Velocity: Lets find da power.
[Snipe] Velocity: *hits the switch to begin closing the ramp*
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Excalibur: *makes a 180 turn, then begins to move forward*
[Snipe] Excalibur: *zooms out of the hanger and makes a sharp turn, entering hyperspace*
[Avatar] *to Rip and DB* [...I'm glad my body's psionic energy... otherwise I'd be feeling all these bumps..]
[Diamondback] *to Enhanced* [Lucky... you.]
* Hotaru_Airier hides her head in her paws.
[Snipe] So, tell me Chris --- what are the Enhanced going to do when they reach the planet?
[Diamondback] {I guess we'll find out when we get there.}
[Snipe] But you would already know.
* Snipe looks at him, as if challenging him.
[Diamondback] {I lie not.}
[Hotaru_Airier] [Eep.]
* Avatar glances at Snipe and DB, feeling the tension
[Snipe] Sure.
* Snipe looks back forward
[Ripple] {He's telling the truth, for once, John.} *puts DB in a headlock* {We really don't know what's going on.}
[Diamondback] *to enhanced* [Thanks for the "save", Andrew...]
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he looks ot the port ahead of them
[Ripple] *lets go* *to enhanced* [Not a problem.]
[Snipe] *suddenly a loud boom is heard*
[Snipe] What the hell?!
[Snipe] *the entire shuttle begins to rock back and forth, actually causing the place to vibrate*
[Snipe] Velocity: Da?!  *slams them out of hyperspace, the engines almost going critical*
* Kyo`Yokuo blinks as he scans to see what is happening
[Diamondback] {There's line one of the defenses...}
[Avatar] {What...the?!}
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Ah!
[Snipe] GM: *20 mechs stand before them*
[Snipe] Voice: Wow, you survived our mental tug, eh?  Impressive ship.
[Diamondback] Impressive crew.
[Kyo`Yokuo] {shit.. 20 meachs... fun..}
[Snipe] ...didn't know psionics could nab something in hyperspace...!
[Hotaru_Airier] Dis... weal bad...
[Diamondback] *to crew sans Snipe* [I think we're all learning new things about psions...]
[Snipe] Mechs: *aim their weapons*
* Hotaru_Airier turns ATLAN
[Snipe] Voice: Heading for the planet, eh? Tooo bad, we can't let you go there.
* Kyo`Yokuo flips a few switchs as the weapons lock on the mechs
[Diamondback] [Andrew, Ryan, Kyo, concentrate on a cloak. I'll hold a shield.]
[Avatar] *to enhanced* [We should try to form a psionic... Just what I was thinking, DB.]
[Snipe] Excalibur: *suddenly flies back*
[Hotaru_Airier] [Psi shield... mmm...]
[Diamondback] [Cloak first. If they see us, transfer the energy into a solid shield.]
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] [Hey. I'm here too!]
* Avatar eyes glow purple in concentration as he crafts the cloak with Kyo and Ripple
[Snipe] Velocity: I'm not controlling this thing!
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Oh yeah, who's RPing Spirit?
* Scott stands up and pushes a button on his backpack, and it transforms into his armor. Nifty feature.
[Kyo`Yokuo] {You got it DB} *starts to form a cloak
[Kyo`Yokuo] *
[Diamondback] [We've got other problems... I can sense a powerful psionic energy surrounding this thing, and it ain't ours!]
[Avatar] [We've got to shield this thing from their telekinesis...]
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] [...crap...]
[Snipe] Excalibur: *groans as it's being ripped apart*
* Avatar shifts energy, trying to disrupt their enemy psions influence on the ship
[Snipe] Dammit to hell!
* Diamondback holds his hands together, his thumbs and forefingers forming a diamond, as he forms a shield around the ship
[Diamondback] [Forget the cloak! They could sense us anyway!]
[Snipe] GM: *The groans soften*
* Hotaru_Airier does her best to do so too.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] *helps Avatar try to break free*
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Break free?
* Avatar concentrates hard, surprised at how much stronger his powers seem
[Snipe] *Excalibur is...freed!*
* Avatar his body starts to flicker as he does so
[Kyo`Yokuo] Ron get us going
[Diamondback] *to Av* [Hey, whoa, don't overdo it! I think I'm starting to understand a little more about you...]
[Snipe] Velocity: Would, but engines need to time to repair themselves.
* Scott blinks. He thought he coulndn't help the ship, but maybe since he'd be more powerful as they enar the planet... Well, problem solved now anyway.
[Snipe] Mechs: *begin to fly in*
[Snipe] Voice: Again, impressssssssive.
[Avatar] *stabilizing himself*
[Ripple] {Snipe! What's the plan? Shoot to kill, or save our own asses?}
[Avatar] *to DB* [Right... Right... I'm still adjusting to this too...]
[Hotaru_Airier] Is that a Tsivi-whatever?
[Scott] ...We're more powerful here, but... Doesn't that mean they are too?
[Snipe] Kill.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] .oO( Why do they keep ignoring me...? )
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Where is An?
[Avatar] {It d... it does Scott.]
[Ripple] {I was hoping you'd say that!}
[Scott] NRP] Scott's not telapathic, and  the last two things she said were telapathic only...
* Ripple throws his hands forward, launching a beam of psionic energy from the shield at the mechs
[Kyo`Yokuo] {kill it is} *locks the guns on the mechs and starts to fire at them*
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
[Diamondback] {WAIT! They're probably shielded!}
[Snipe] Mechs: *dive to the side*
[Hotaru_Airier] [An? You okay?]
[Snipe] Mechs: *fire on the ship*
[Hikaryuu] NRP: Andrea "Spirit" Stryfe
* Diamondback holds the shield
[Scott] I wonder if it's possible to make a weapon tthat can damage a mech but can be carried by a person...
* Avatar holds the shield as well
* Kyo`Yokuo fires at the mech that fired on them
* Ripple holds the shield, but fires at the shots as well with psionic energy
* Scott tries to shield the ship if his shield is big and powerul enough due to the planet's proximity.
[Snipe] GM: *planet isn't in sight right now*
[Snipe] Voice: Heh heh...we'll play with you again, on the planet.  *the mechs...enter hyperspace*
* Avatar fires a psionic energy bursts to disrupt a mech pilot's concentration
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] *keeps concentrating on the shield*
[Avatar] {We'd best use a cloaking shield now...}
[Snipe] Velocity: *tentatively puts them back in hyperspace*
[Kyo`Yokuo] {...that was anoying... you got it Avatar} *consentrats his psionics on a cloaking shield*
* Avatar helps to cloak the ship
* Diamondback helps to cloak, but doesn't use all of his energy
* Avatar holds back on all his energy too, needing a rest
* Ripple helps to cloak as well, and notices DB's lack of input
[Ripple] [...Got an idea over there?]
* Snipe looks a bit distrubed.
[Diamondback] [Maybe... depends on if they see us again.]
[Kyo`Yokuo] [well can we hear it DB? for when and if they do?]
* Avatar raises an eyebrow
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *looks at Hotaru worriedly...*
[Diamondback] *to crew* [If they see us, I'll give them a decoy to shoot at.]
* Hotaru_Airier helps to shield the ship.
[Hotaru_Airier] [I'm fine...]
[Kyo`Yokuo] [ok]
[Avatar] [Good idea.]
[Snipe] We need a plan!
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *nuzzles Hotaru then helps with the shield*
* Snipe declares suddenly
[Hotaru_Airier] [Thanks Em-chan] *nuzzles back*
* Snipe looks around
[Avatar] {...True, Snipe...}
[Kyo`Yokuo] {*sighs* ..well..lets come up ith one...}
[Avatar] {If we psionically cloak the ship, we could sneak toward the planet... A low profile would be best...}
[Diamondback] {Since when have we needed a plan? *snickers*}
* Avatar eyes shift to purple
[Snipe] It's possible, Avatar, but psions will be searching for other psions.
[Snipe] That might be a beacon.
[Avatar] {True... What do you have in mind?}
[Snipe] Why not go in uncloaked, totally wide open?
[Diamondback] {Hmm... if we cut all psionics use, then they might not...} *remembers Avatar* {Ok, scratch that idea...}
[Snipe] No psi powers at all?
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] ...didn't they find us before we started with psi?
[Diamondback] {We could all stop using psionics, but that's not a guarantee that they won't sense us. Besides, we have Ryan with us now, and he's pure psionic energy. We can't just turn him off.}
[Avatar] *glances at DB* {I'm not sure how well they'd sense me, even in my psionic form, if I lay low...}
[Snipe] That might be true, Andrea, but one little telepathic thought might have tipped them off.
[Snipe] OH, yeah, how's the baby?
[Diamondback] *to Av* [Sorry I was so blunt.]
[Avatar] {But... I'm not sure.} *sighs*
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *looks up* [Could you.. um... Store yourself in someone like I used to?]
[Avatar] You're suggesting psionic silence? No telepathy use?
[Snipe] Right.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Oh... Getting bigger every day.
[Hotaru_Airier] Just like me.
[Hotaru_Airier] ^.^
[Scott] No prob for me, I dun' even _have_ telepaathy.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *giggles*
[Snipe] Velocity: I like talking with my own mouth, anyway.
* Kyo`Yokuo laughs lightly {Well you do have a point Snipe}
[Avatar] I'll try to keep quite then... Seeing as "normal" speech is sort of an act of telekinesis for me now...
[Snipe] Think about it, you have millions of paranoid psions running around, thinking someone else is going to get it first.  Wouldn't you be scanning for psions and not regular people?
* Hotaru_Airier hugs Em-chan
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Emily might have an idea there Ryan... If you want to try it.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *snuggles*
[Diamondback] {Maybe...} maybe not psions, but the usage thereof...
[Hotaru_Airier] No telepathy, please?
[Avatar] You know... Snipe has a good point there
[Diamondback] I'm working on it...
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he moves his pcionics from the cloack
[Snipe] Well, see?  I can think of something!
[Avatar] {L...} *ahem* Let's... get moving then
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at ron "lets go?"
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at the controls to see if the engens are working again
[Snipe] Velocity: I've been in hyperspace for a while now, people.
[Snipe] Velocity: You are soooo observant!
[Scott] ...
[Kyo`Yokuo] ... heh...
* Snipe throws a paper ball at Vel's head in the cockpit room
[Avatar] ... oh yeah
* Diamondback twiddles his thumbs
* Kyo`Yokuo flips a few switchs to see what there eta is
* Avatar hovers lightly an inch from a chair... his best version of "sitting down" without using telekinesis
[Snipe] ETA: *10 minutes*
* Scott .oO( I wonder if they hear thoughts actively, or passively? )
[Kyo`Yokuo] shortly we will see what we are up agenst...
* Snipe paces the area
* Avatar with his psionics down, he doesn't here Scott... in other words, he's not psionically listening for anything
[Avatar] (hear)
[SOUND]
* Diamondback yawns and stretches
[Snipe] .oO (Why do I feel so uneasy around DB and Rip?)
[Scott] :.oO( I guess actively, then. ) He looks out the window, then looks over his armor.
* Avatar considers saying "so far, so good" but decides that jinxing them is a bad idea
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] *lays against Ripple*
* Ripple puts his arm around Andrea
[Hotaru_Airier] So... *sits down*
* Snipe looks at them all
[Snipe] IS everyone ready for this?
[Hotaru_Airier] Ready here.
[Hotaru_Airier] Em?
* Kyo`Yokuo moves a hand through his blond hair as he loos out at hyperspace "yep"
* Avatar starts to nod, but then remembers Snipe can't see him
* Diamondback remains silent, looking out of the window
[Scott] "Ready as we'll ever be..."
[Snipe] Are you ready to do whatever it'll take in the end --- to ensure the team's safety and your own safety?
* Snipe looks very serious.
[Hotaru_Airier] ...?
[Hotaru_Airier] Why wouldn't I be?
* Avatar turns to Snipe
[Avatar] Yes...
* Diamondback remains looking out of the window
[Hikaryuu] NRP: What form is Hota in?
[Diamondback] Yeah...
[Snipe] Some of us are here for power.  Others are here for duty.  Some of us to put an end to this for the galaxy's sake.  Whatever your reason is, you'll have to decide, in the end, what you're going to do to see your reason makes it.
* Avatar grows silent thinking about the "your own safety" part... still not unsure as to how long he can remain in the physical world
* Avatar shakes off the doubts, not wanting depression to overcome him
* Scott nods...
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: ATLAN now.
[Scott] NRP] What's an ATLAN, anyway?
[Snipe] The easiest thing could be to find the location of the power source and blow it to hell from space.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Looks mostly human.
* Diamondback minorly starts - not enough for anyone but Avatar and Ripple to catch
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Just... weird stripes on the skin
[Snipe] NRP: Take it to #tawnrp people.
* Avatar glances at DB, guessing they're thinking alike
* Diamondback glances back at Avatar, and nods very slightly
[SOUND]
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *peeks out of Hota's shirt*
[Snipe] Velocity: Blow it up?  Hey, we could use taht.
* Avatar supresses the urge to contact the collective... even though it's on a "sub-psionic" plane, lower than normal psionic communications... it'd probably be a bad idea at the moment
[Snipe] Use it?  For Godsake, half the galaxy is stark mad trying to get it.
* Snipe clenches his fist
[Snipe] You want to attempt to retrieve something that dangerous?
* Avatar looks over Snipe
* Avatar looks Snipe over, even
[Snipe] Velocity: ... yeah, I do.
[Avatar] .oO (He could be right...)
[Hotaru_Airier] We can't let something like that start a war.
[Avatar] .oO (But if someone... someone could control it... We could win the war... we could do so much...)
[Snipe] Velocity: Heads up people, we're here.
[Avatar] .oO (...and set another empire in it's place? ...) *shakes head, then looks up at the planet*
[Snipe] Velocity: *drops them out of hyperspace.  Before them is a hunk of rock, sorta like the Earth's moon, only much, much bigger*
[Diamondback] {So that's it...}
* Diamondback catches himself
[Snipe] Velocity: *flips a few switches*
[Diamondback] Whoops... I just messed up, didn't I?
[Snipe] VelocitY: We have 20 mechs, in coming*.
[Diamondback] Yep, I just messed up.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Good .oO(this is going to be the hardest mission thus far...and this power...this will be a hard on..)
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Voice: Loooook whoooo's baaaack!
* Kyo`Yokuo sigh "shit..."
[Avatar] Great...
[Snipe] 20 Mechs: *appear before them*
[Diamondback] So do we still use the no-psionics plan...?
[Snipe] Use whatever it takes to blow them out, but the more power you use, the more...*looks at the readings* The 30,000 psions on the planet will know.
[Snipe] Velocity: *Grunts*
[Hotaru_Airier] No psi.
[Avatar] ... *thinks, torn over what to do*
[Diamondback] Try the traditional weapons first...
[Hotaru_Airier] ... oh shit.
[Hotaru_Airier] Not AGAIN
[Snipe] Velocity: *Tries to move the Excalibur back, but it's caught in a grip* Aww, man.
[Snipe] Tsivrixsh Battleship: *appears near the planet, heading for it*
* Kyo`Yokuo locks the weapons on "fire?"
[Snipe] Oh, SHIT!
* Snipe poitns
[Snipe] We got big guns.
[Kyo`Yokuo] SHIT!!!
[Snipe] Mechs: *let go of the ship*
[Snipe] Voice: ooo, looks like our neighbors are here.
[Diamondback] ...What?
[Avatar] Steady... they might not be after us...
[Snipe] Battleship: *launches shuttle at the planet*
[Avatar] er... oh well
[Snipe] Mechs: *hover there, watching the shuttle*
[Snipe] 5 mechs: *Take off after the shuttle*
[Snipe] Tsivrixsh Battleship: *pulls back and launches 150 mechs of it's own*
[Kyo`Yokuo] ....
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Double damn.
[Hotaru_Airier] ...!
[Diamondback] ...And you didn't want to bring our mechs WHY?!
[Snipe] Dias comm: Hang on game, help's on the way!
* Avatar sighs
[Kyo`Yokuo] eeeppp....
[Garland] NRP: Yea, mechs could step on them.
[Avatar] This isn't goind to be pretty...
[Snipe] *Strange ship leaps out of hyperspace, a ship unlike any other.  All mechs halt*
[Snipe] Dias?
[Diamondback] Huh? DIAS? ...We're REALLY screwed now.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Dias?!
[Snipe] That's DS Flag Ship!  Slasher finished it?!
[Snipe] Screw it, head for the planet.  Dias can handle them.
[Ripple] We're lookin' at it, aren't we?
[Snipe] Velocity: *flies towards the planet*
[Avatar] I never thought I'd say it but... I'm glad to hear Dias's voice for once...
* Hotaru_Airier laughs
[Snipe] Somehow he must have knew....I'll be damned.
* Diamondback wags his finger
[Snipe] Excalibur: *flies in over the surface of the planet*
[Diamondback] Tut, tut, John. It's "known". *laughs*
[Snipe] Hah.
[Snipe] Excalibur: *jerks to a halt, landing*
[Snipe] Velocity: The area is breatheable, somehow.
* Avatar smiles at DB's comment
* Scott runs aa last check on all his armor's systems.
[Avatar] ...Here we are... *files a shiver run down his psionic spine*
* Ripple grips a warp blade tightly, and stands
[Snipe] GM: *all psionic powers are boosted 10% more*
* Snipe steps onto the planet, noting the light gravity*
[Snipe] We're here...
* Hotaru_Airier steps onto the planet. "Wow... feels good..."
* Diamondback starts to teleport, but decides not to, and walks out
[Hotaru_Airier] Can I use Ki?
* Avatar slowly follows DB
[Diamondback] I can feel it.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Sounds good to me! *walks out after Snipe. noticging the low gravity* hehe fun
* Scott walks outside. "..."
* Ripple follows Avatar
[Snipe] GM: *power bursts of psi are felt as psions fight each other*
[Snipe] All seems quiet.
* Avatar grabs a real gun on the way out
[Diamondback] My vote goes to staying away from those areas...
* Diamondback points for Snipe's benefit
[Avatar] Not exactly, Snipe...
[Diamondback] There are people - or whatever - fighting EVERYWHERE.
[Avatar] Hey, DB, could you hang onto this gun for me for now?
* Snipe turns and sees Avatar
* Kyo`Yokuo nods to Db "I agree with that"
[Snipe] What the hell?
* Snipe touches him
[Snipe] You're solid?
* Scott holds his shield with one hand, ponders which weapon tto hold in the other. Leaves it free for now.
* Diamondback looks at Avatar
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: BRB
[Snipe] HAH!
* Snipe hugs Avatar
[Diamondback] Hey, you're back with us... cool!
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Welcome back Ryan *smiles*
[Avatar] Eh?
* Avatar suddenly realizes that he could grip the gun
* Avatar hugs Snipe back
[Avatar] ...I don't believe it!
* Snipe looks around
[Diamondback] Oh, by the way... now that you're physical...
* Avatar turns to DB
* Diamondback slugs Avatar across the face
[Kyo`Yokuo] ...?
[Diamondback] That's for the ten bucks you owe me. *laughs*
[Snipe] Velocity: *steps out* ooo, that had to hurt.
* Avatar rubs cheek, glad to be able to feel it again
* Ripple rubs the back of his head
* Kyo`Yokuo laughs as he looks around feeling the power
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Back
[Avatar] Hmph... *smiles*
* Avatar takes a step, almost pitching forward
[Hotaru_Airier] Hey, save the fighting for if we get into trouble, okay?
* Snipe turns around and points at a random directly, unknowingly where most of the psi-fighting is
* Ripple laughs, rubbing the back of his head
[Snipe] Let us go...THAT WAY!
[Avatar] Err... Gotta get the hang of this again...
[Ripple] Last thing we need's you two fighting.
[Avatar] That way?
[Snipe] Yes, it looks good.
* Diamondback shakes his head
[Diamondback] That won't work, John.

[Snipe] No?  
[Kyo`Yokuo] true..
* Snipe points at another direction, another hot spot
[Snipe] THAT WAY!
[Diamondback] TONS of psionic energies are being used over there. Remember that war you mentioned? That's the war front.
[Kyo`Yokuo] I say leave the navagating to the Psionics..
* Diamondback shakes his head
* Snipe scowls
[Diamondback] That one too.
[Snipe] Fine, DB, lead the frickin' way.
* Avatar snickers
[Scott] ...
* Diamondback scans what he can of the planet, looking for any intense psionic energies other than fighting
[Diamondback] Give me a second... and if this draws any attention, prepare to defend.
[Snipe] GM: *the entire planet is filled with it, so, that is hard to pick off*
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] ...great...
* Diamondback stops
* Avatar pats his Chain Lightning gloves together
[Diamondback] I'm the navigator, huh... *points in a direction where there doesn't seem to be much fighting* That way.
[Snipe] Alright, lead the way.
* Diamondback shakes his head and takes off in the direction he pointed
* Hotaru_Airier doesn't seem to be carrying any weapon.
* Kyo`Yokuo nods as he starts to walk i the direction that DB pointed, a footbehind DB
* Snipe follows
* Scott looks at Hotaru. "Do you need a weapon, Hotaru?"
* Diamondback forms solid psionic energies across his back in the form of sheathes, with "beam" sabres inside them
* Avatar follows DB, getting used to walking again
[Hotaru_Airier] ... got a spare beam sab...re!
[Snipe] Velocity: *follows* Is it just me or does this entire planet seem like it's full of power?
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *shifts uncomfortably and looks up at Hotaru*
* Ripple catches up with DB and Avatar
[Hotaru_Airier] Heya Em. ^.^
[Diamondback] It isn't just you, I'll tell you that, Ron...
* Hotaru_Airier cuddles Emily.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] *draws the kitsunebi and hurry after Rip*
[Snipe] Velocity: *Stops* I'll...wait at the shuttle.  Dammit, if we need a quick escape.
[Kyo`Yokuo] Yea..
* Scott holds up his rapid-fire plasmarifle. "You wanna borrow this?"
[Snipe] Velocity: *sighs* Good luck.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] nuzzles Hota's neck and ducks back out of sight, purring*
[Kyo`Yokuo] ok... Later Ron
[Snipe] Voice: So thou seeketh the power?
[Avatar] Good luck to us all...
[Snipe] That voice----
[Kyo`Yokuo] ...?
[Diamondback] *to enhanced* [This place... it's more powerful than I could've ever imagined... You think we're in over our heads?]
[Snipe] Viper: *lands in front of them, kicking back dust*
*** Zeraphna has joined #taw
[SOUND]
[Ripple] *to enhanced* [Uh, Chris? I KNOW we're in over our heads.] *points*
[Kyo`Yokuo] Shit....
[Diamondback] Guess whoooo...
* Zeraphna opens the hatch and stands there
[Diamondback] Hi, Zeraphna!
* Diamondback waves
[Snipe] It's the evil twin.
[Scott] Who is it...?
[Kyo`Yokuo] hihi Zeraphna 
[Avatar] She decides to pick on us out of the psions here?
[Zeraphna] So you're still after the power, even after all the trouble you've caused?
[Snipe] I think she has it in for DB.
[Diamondback] You could say that, yeah.
*** Hotaru_Airier has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Megami)))
* Zeraphna shakes head
[Zeraphna] When will you learn?  
*** Hotaru_Airier has joined #TAW
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Zeraphna? o.o?
[Diamondback] I'm a Carter. We never learn! *laughs*
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] *laughs*
[Zeraphna] I see that now. 
* Scott earlier offerred to let Hotaru borrow his plasma rifle.
* Kyo`Yokuo laughs "he is right you know"
[Hotaru_Airier] Did someone say Seraphna?
* Snipe shakes head
[Snipe] Man, she looks just like Sera.
[Snipe] It's too creepy.
* Ripple spits
* Hotaru_Airier shakes her head at Scott. "Don't like guns..."
[Ripple] So what do you want?
[Avatar] Find someone else to find here Zeraphna...
* Zeraphna shakes head
[Avatar] (fight)
[Zeraphna] He started this, *indicating DB* perhaps if he dies, the planet will vanish.
* Snipe looks at DB.
[Avatar] Perhaps... *moving to DB's side* You'd better back off.
[Diamondback] Hey, hold up.
[Hotaru_Airier] DB started this? *looks over*
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *shivers, keeping out of sight*
[Snipe] Yeah, he unlocked this place.
[Diamondback] I just did what I thought... you mean... *very confused*
[SOUND]
[Kyo`Yokuo] Yea...in the temple.. 
[Kyo`Yokuo] Well i helped as well..but anyway..
* Zeraphna pulls out a rifle
[Diamondback] You mean to tell me I'm a trigger of sorts for this place...?
[Zeraphna] Yes.
[Zeraphna] Doesn't mean the power is yours alone, though.
[Hotaru_Airier] Wonderful...
* Avatar his lightning gloves crackle with charging energy
[Zeraphna] Just means you hold this place together.
[Hotaru_Airier] DB, you just started a war...
[Avatar] Basically... I... made it back here when you did it
[Diamondback] ...I get the sudden feeling I'd better stay alive...
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Put that rifle down.
* Zeraphna aims at DB
[Zeraphna] I can't let him live, Andrea.  He's too dangerous.
[Scott] Yeah, if this planet vansishes witth us on it...
[Hotaru_Airier] Ummm...
[Hotaru_Airier] We'll all die...
[Diamondback] Jennifer always told me I was dangerous... *snickers lewdly*
* Zeraphna keeps the rifle aimed, but isn't firing, her hand shaking
[Avatar] Wonderful plan you've got there, Zeraphna. *sarcastically*
[Ripple] *muttering* Be serious for a change, Chris... she's gonna kill you...
[Avatar] I wonder if you're as ready to die yourself as you are to kill Diamondback?
[Hotaru_Airier] Anyway, I'm sure we can... lock the place away again, right? Without killing him?
[Zeraphna] ...
[Zeraphna] Only be destroying it.
[Zeraphna] (By)
[Snipe] Destroy the planet?
[Zeraphna] Aye.
[Hotaru_Airier] How?
* Zeraphna lowers the rifle.
[Diamondback] NRP: Call (the) Death Star!
[Kyo`Yokuo] NRP: lol
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] *sternly* Chris isn't going to die without seeing his niece, so we better find a way to do that.
[Zeraphna] If you use that battleship above and we use my mech, plus your Excalibur, on one point...
[Avatar] NRP: *snickers*
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: It's too big to be a moon.
[Snipe] NRP: DS: *runs in* I will do it with my saber!
[Diamondback] NRP: *stab* *boom*
* Avatar glances at Zeraphna
[Snipe] Well, lets do that then.
[Diamondback] Hey... uh, Zeraphna... I just have one question.
* Zeraphna looks at DB
[Diamondback] I know you want to kill me and everything, but... you know more about this whole situation than any of us here.
[Diamondback] What were those dreams all about? What drew us to that temple?
[Zeraphna] The temple drew you to it.
[Avatar] I'm not so eager to kill all the psions on this planet...
[Snipe] So, warn them to get off.
[Diamondback] Makes sense, I suppose...
* Diamondback concentrates for a moment, longer than the usual trances
[Hotaru_Airier] Right... I just hope they don't retaliate...
* Zeraphna has the rifle completely lowered now
[Snipe] They probably will.
* Avatar shakes head
[Avatar] Somehow... I doubt that'll accomplish anything
[Hotaru_Airier] If I wasn't so scared of what'll happen, I'll say we should just go home...
[Scott] ...
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] *nuzzles Hota agreeingly*
[Snipe] Alright, we send a telepathic message, fire on the planet.  They'll either run or stay.
[Snipe] Then we comense with blowing this place up.
[Snipe] The more I hear about it, the more I dislike it.
[Hotaru_Airier] How long do we give them... we have to get everyone off, but...
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Are you going to help us... Zeraphna?
[Diamondback] I know I'm risking getting my head blown off, but I'm still not so sure blowing this place up is the best idea...
[Zeraphna] You have no choice.  I won't let you go on.
[Snipe] I'm with Zera.  We're playing with a time bomb.
* Snipe grabs his comm to contact Velocity.
[Avatar] ...You realize they might try to stop our ships if we just tell them all what we're doing?
[Snipe] I do.
[Kyo`Yokuo] ...oi..
[Snipe] But I have a bunch of psions too.
[Hotaru_Airier] It's a chance we have to take.
[Snipe] Comm: Ron, get Excalibur ready.
[Snipe] Ron: Why?
[Snipe] Comm: We're going to and will blow this place up from space.
[Snipe] Ron: What?!  
* Diamondback looks at Avatar and Ripple nervously
[Zeraphna] You made the right decision, John.
[Diamondback] *to enhanced* [I wonder... since the theory goes that if I die, this planet will too... is the reverse true?]
[Zeraphna] I'll send your ships the weak point of this place.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Stiletto5]6] [...I hope not.]
* Zeraphna moves back into her mech, prepping it.
[Avatar] *to enhanced* [... No, I... I mean...] *pauses for a moment that seems like an eternity* [...I don't think so...]
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Stil's enhanced?
[Ripple] *to enhanced* [...Yeah, let's hope not... sorry I'm not very encouraging...]
* Snipe starts to walk toward the Excalibur.
[Diamondback] *to enhanced* [I have a sinking feeling about this...]
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he watchs Zeraphna
* Zeraphna looks a bit relieved, but holds no malice or evil smirks
* Avatar glances toward the temple, then at Snipe
[Snipe] GM: Er, temple?
* Snipe stops and turns back
[Snipe] Are you guys coming or not?
[Hikaryuu] NRP: Yep.
[Hikaryuu] 6[5[13Andrea5]6] Right. *heads after*
[Snipe] GM: *there is no temples, just nice, blackness of space
* Avatar glances at Zeraphna, still itching somewhat to attack her, but cools down
* Hotaru_Airier heads after.
[Avatar] Yes... Coming...
[Diamondback] I have a really bad feeling about this whole situation...
* Avatar slowly takes a step toward Snipe
[Scott] ...
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Zera's a Tsiv?
* Diamondback shakes his head and turns to face Snipe
[Snipe] NRP: No.  She's same as Sera.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: Catgon?
* Scott follows... We'rte going back tto the ship, right?
[Snipe] NRP: She's in human form.
[Snipe] Yeah.
[Hotaru_Airier] NRP: 'k
* Zeraphna closes the hatch to the Viper, having it hover.
* Ripple puts his hands in his pockets and kicks at the ground
* Snipe jogs for the Excalibur.
[Snipe] Come on, we have a war to stop here.
* Diamondback slowly walks after Snipe, looking at the ground
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he shakes his head, takeing off his red trench coat. he then makes 2 white wings come from his back, flying back to e xcaliber, flying in through the wall and lands next to Ron
* Hotaru_Airier looks down at Em .oO(It's a little distracting, but I like it.)
[Snipe] Ron: *looks at him* We're going to blow this place up...?
* Scott is running to the excalibutr...
* Ripple keeps pace with DB
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs and nods slightly as he sits again, leaving the wings and throws his coat on the floor next to him
[Avatar] ????: *suddenly a wall of psionic energy appears in the Hunters path*
[Snipe] ?!
* Snipe stops
[Hotaru_Airier] ????
[Ripple] Hey, don't worry about it... what?
[Snipe] Hey, the dirt moved.
[Hotaru_Airier] ????!
* Snipe points, not seeing the wall
* Avatar stops
* Diamondback stops, and looks forward
[Snipe] Neato.
[Avatar] Enhanced: *six Enhanced appear, hovering in front of the Hunters path*
[Snipe] Oh, great, more psions.  Gang, take them down
* Zeraphna flies the Viper behind them.
[Kyo`Yokuo] lets go pick them up Ron.. i have a bad feeling
* Avatar stops behind the Hunters
[Hotaru_Airier] Do we really need to fight?
[Diamondback] Enhanced4] That's as far as you go.
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: {You're last chance to call off you're plan.}
[Snipe] We're going back to our ship.  Move.
[Diamondback] NRP: In telepathy, of course.
[Snipe] You know of our plan?
[Avatar] Enhanced: *hammer the Viper with telekinetic bolts*
* Zeraphna flies back, out of distance, and prepares her beam cannon, charging
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: *somewhat amused* We are psychich
[Avatar] (psychic)
[Snipe] ---still, how!?
[Diamondback] Enhanced6] {Think for a second.}
[Snipe] ...
* Snipe whirls on DB
* Hotaru_Airier glares at Avatar.
[Snipe] YOU!
[Avatar] Enhanced: *disrupt Zeraphna's targetting systems*
[Zeraphna] Damn!
[Kyo`Yokuo] hmm...wait.. where is this power... be back in a few.. *he gets out of the shuttle and looks around the area* where are you...
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: We don't have to do this... Think of what that power could do in the right hands. But, somehow I doubt we can reason with you
* Avatar holds in ground behind the Hunters, not moving currently
[Snipe] You're right.  Absolutle power corrupts absolutely!
* Snipe whirls on the Leader, glaring.
[Diamondback] {Nice speech, John...}
[Snipe] I won't let anyone have taht power.
* Scott nods at John. "And that's absolutely right!"
[Kyo`Yokuo] wait...hmm...the power seems to be all around us...so maybe its actuly under us... *looks down*
[Avatar] Enhanced: *holding a large machine gun* Don't think you're psionic immunity will protect you
* Snipe holds his ground
* Scott wondered if perhaps the planet itself waas the source.
[Snipe] I won't let you have the power.
[Avatar] Enhanced: *take places around the Hunters*
[Avatar] {Snipe...} 
* Zeraphna flies the Viper forward, hoping to ram the Enhanced.
* Diamondback throws his hand up, using telekinesis to form a barrier against the Viper
[Hotaru_Airier] ...?!!!
* Kyo`Yokuo kneels down and looks at the surface pondering
[Avatar] Enhanced: *rips a large chunk of ground up, slamming it into the Viper
* Zeraphna rams against it, slowly pushing into it
[Diamondback] [I'm sorry, Zeraphna... but stay out of this!]
[Zeraphna] Viper: *slams into the ground, sparking, but recovering*
* Avatar helps DB and the shield
* Ripple also assists Avatar and DB
* Snipe looks at the Enhanced, all of them
[Snipe] You're all being blinded by this desire for power.  I can't let you take it.
[Diamondback] {Desire for power, or fear of death?}
[Avatar] {But... Snipe...} *words choke off in his mouth*
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs there must be a clue some where... *sighs as he moves the dirt around out of boredom*
* Snipe points at the leader
[Snipe] You will let us enter the ship!
[Avatar] *grits teeth* {I'm not dying again...}
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
* Snipe looks at Avatar with pity, but isn't budging
[Snipe] I'm ready to die to stop you myself.
[Diamondback] {Look, John McCormick. This planet goes, and it's VERY likely that I will die. Avatar too.}
* Scott blinks at Avatar. ". . . . ."
[Hotaru_Airier] [Can't you enter someone or thing?]
[Zeraphna] Comm: Wrong, DB...kill the planet, your link ends with it...
[Avatar] How can she know that for sure...? She can't...
[Diamondback] {So you say. But how can we be sure? How do I know that my temporary back-stabbing didn't piss you off, and you're lying to me?}
* Avatar glances over to the other Enhanced
[Snipe] SHE warned us about this place to begin with!
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he moves the dust around, till her reatchs rock
[Diamondback] NRP: Looks like Kyo prefers the direct route.
* Avatar the collective urge for the power of the Enhanced's collective starts growing on Avatar's resistance
[Zeraphna] VelocitY: *lands*
* Snipe walks towards the Excalibur
[Hotaru_Airier] Too many people will DIE because of this rock...
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: fires a blast of energy in front of Snipe, warning him to back off*
[Hotaru_Airier] I can't let that happen.
[Diamondback] {And people won't die if we blow it to smithereens?}
* Snipe briefly slows, but keeps walking
[Hotaru_Airier] [... fewer]
[Snipe] Only people too focused on the fixation of power to leave.
[Diamondback] {You heard Ron earlier! There are thousands of people on this chunk of rock!}
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs still moveing the dirt about
[Avatar] Enhanced: *aim weapons at Snipe*
* Snipe doesn't stop
* Zeraphna pulls the Viper up slowly
* Avatar is torn now, seeing Snipe's peril
* Avatar closes eyes
[Snipe] GM: *in space, the sky lights up with tons of ships*
[Avatar] Enhanced: *two open fire on Snipe*
* Snipe is hit in the back by both, stumbling
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs as he picks up a loss rock and places it in his pocket
* Snipe keeps walking, half-way to the Excalibur
[Avatar] Enhanced: *the others fire on the Viper*
* Zeraphna manuevers out of the way
* Diamondback watches the proceedings almost coldly

* Ripple glances at DB
* Snipe looks at Andrea and Ripple
* Kyo`Yokuo kicks the dust as he turns around and doesn`r see the shuttle.. "yay.."
[Snipe] Take care of that kid, eh?
[Ripple] {...Chris? Hey, weird moon-like-planet-thing to Chris!} *snaps his fingers in front of DB's face*
* Avatar sweat starts going down his face
* Snipe grins and is 3/4ths to the Excalibur now
* Diamondback ignores Andrew
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: *starts to open fire on Snipe again*
* Avatar leaps at the Enhanced Leader, pushing his out of the way, to make his shots miss
[Hotaru_Airier] BACK OFF.
* Snipe looks at Avatar in surprise
[Snipe] Ryan!?
[Hotaru_Airier] ...?!!!
* Hotaru_Airier blinks at Avatar's actions
* Diamondback teleports directly in front of the other enhanced firing at Snipe and throws a right hook into his face
[Zeraphna] Oh hell
[Avatar] I can't... Snipe's willing to die for this...
[Hotaru_Airier] ... thankyou...
* Kyo`Yokuo flaps his wings as he he heads up into the air. looking down at the ground "hmm.. there must be something.."
[Diamondback] [Sorry about this, fellas...]
* Snipe looks a bit surprised.
* Avatar holds head as the other Enhanced attempt to force him to reconcider
[Avatar] (reconsider...)
* Snipe points at the Enhanced
[Snipe] Take them down, Gently, guys
* Scott looks around. How amny enemy enhanced are tthere, and what is each doing?
[Snipe] Velocity: *spins the Excalibur's wing into one's head*
* Diamondback borrows the enhanced he attacked's ability to cause a mindstun and attempts to knock him out
[Avatar] Enhanced: *turn toward the Excalibur and open fire psionically and with their guns*
[Zeraphna] Velocity: SHIT!  *watches it spark and hit the ground*
[Diamondback] Enhanced5] *resists*
[Zeraphna] Oh no!
[Snipe] Our plan!
* Snipe grimaces in pain
[Avatar] Enhanced: *keep firing*
[Diamondback] {That's ENOUGH!}
* Zeraphna hits the boosters, sliding across the ground out of the battlefield
[Zeraphna] NRP: Vel did that
* Zeraphna watches Excalibur zoom away and crash, with a grimace
[Hotaru_Airier] ...
* Snipe looks a bit defeated
[Avatar] Enhanced: *turn back to the Hunters*
[Diamondback] {...Did you have to be so rough on 'em?}
* Snipe points at the leader
[Snipe] Fine, I'll play your game.  I'll blow up the source with my own rifle!
[Snipe] See you there!
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: *looks back*
* Kyo`Yokuo sighs and lands again on the ground. kicking the solid rock
[Diamondback] {...So it's a race now.}
[Avatar] Enhanced Leader: You'll never make it there... but you're welcome to try
[Zeraphna] Lets hope it can be destroyed via rifle.
[Avatar] Enhanced: *fade out and disappear*
* Snipe pants, his back aching
[Kyo`Yokuo] Bah.. i can`t figure this out... *sighs and starts to walks in the direstion he thinks the others are in
* Avatar holds head,
* Snipe turns to the Enhanced
[Diamondback] *to enhanced* [So... what now...?]
[Snipe] Thank you...
* Snipe smiles at Ryan and DB and Ripple.
* Avatar smiles back weakly
[Snipe] Ryan, you'll make it through this, I promise.
* Kyo`Yokuo looks around and sees?
[Avatar] {Snipe... As much as I'm afraid... You have the right idea.}
[Zeraphna] I'll try to find the power source.
* Zeraphna lifts off and zooms away
*** Zeraphna has quit IRC
[Avatar] {Look at what that power was doing to us... Turning us against you...}
[Diamondback] {...To be honest, that wasn't in the plan... *laughs* See, that's the problem with plans! They never work out right.}
[Garland] NRP: Sharlenna: *stumbles up* Can I be alive, too?
* Snipe ses Kyo
[Scott] We gotta find the source... But where is it?
[Snipe] Well, except for Velocity, we're all here.
[Scott] Where does tthe energy seem tto be coming from...?
* Snipe shrugs
[Snipe] good question, Scott.
[Hotaru_Airier] *to Em* [Are you okay, Em-chan?]
[Snipe] Now it's time to find out.
* Kyo`Yokuo looks at the ground, convised it holds the key, and keep walking about
* Avatar nods
[Snipe] Session Ends
[Diamondback] {The energy signals seem to be dying down a little...} *notices his ironic choice of words*
Session Close: Mon Aug 06 22:41:51 2001
