[DeathStar] Time Chart: 2 days after last session
[DeathStar] Location: Deep in Tsivrixsh Territory - On Board the Fury
* DeathStar leans against the wall. So far Dominator has not yet made any battle plans with them because he has been dealing with skirmishes against the Tsivrixsh vast fleet. So far it's almost like the team's around just for his morale support instead of anything else.
* Dominator is onboard another ship currently.
[Dias] Slasher: *stands in the Hanger Bay, checking out the Prototype ship*
[DeathStar] Mechanics: *run around, trying to prep the Prototype ship for launch*
[Dias] Slasher: I'm going to need supplies to repair incase she breaks down now.
*** Garland has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[DeathStar] Chief Mechanic: Aye aye, sir.
*** Dominator is now known as AdmiralDrake
* AdmiralDrake strolls into the hanger.
[Dias] Slasher: Plus enough bloody ale to make the trip go faster.
*** Garland has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Garland
* Dias leans against a building in the city part of the ship
[AdmiralDrake] Chief Mechanic: Aye aye, sir.
* AdmiralDrake walks up beside Slasher, nodding at the CM as he heads off to comply with Slasher's orders.
[Dias] Slasher: I must have ale!!
[AdmiralDrake] You know that way out here there's no ale except maybe a bottle or two stashed away...
[Dias] Slasher: *drops his voice to a more childish one* Then do you got anything else?
[AdmiralDrake] Maybe a bottle or two of whiskey.
[Dias] Slasher: Your telling me that a ship this huge has no alcohol?
* DeathStar finishes running scans of the fleet and the progess of the battle further out of the system. Like Dominator predicted, the Alliance is winning with hardly any losses. Sighing, he turns away.
* AdmiralDrake nods.
[AdmiralDrake] Yep.
[Dias] Slasher: *grabs Drake* Bloody eh? What's the matter?
[AdmiralDrake] ...uh, Slasher, breathe in...
*** Garland is now known as Phantasma
* Phantasma scurries up
[Phantasma] HEWWO!!!
[Dias] Slasher: Damn't Drake, there's not time for breathing. We must get alcohol!
[AdmiralDrake] ...we're in the middle of enemy space!  Where do you propose we get alcohol!?
[Dias] Slasher: We loot enemy ships for theirs!! ARGG!!
[Phantasma] Me made alchohol!
[Dias] Slasher: *pulls out an eye patch and a pirate hat and puts it on*
* AdmiralDrake turns to PHantasma.
* Phantasma is seen chugging a rubbing alchohol bottle.

[GiantMech] No!  Dammit!
* GiantMech is sucked into the hole, clogging it up.

* Slasher quickly throws a rope around a crate and knots its end and begins tugging it out the room

[Slasher] ....Where's ye blooming ale?
* AdmiralDrake stands on the bridge of the Fury.
[AdmiralDrake] Arr, we've been robbed!
* DeathStar runs around the Tsivrixsh ship still, slashing people.
[Slasher] Computer, teleport ye ale!!
[AdmiralDrake] Computer: *Teleports Phantasma and the ale back, right in the bridge*
* Slasher looks
[AdmiralDrake] Computer, pull away from the Tsivrixsh ship.  It's time we made our escape.
[Slasher] Bloody right....
[Phantasma] XD
* DeathStar runs into the crate room with the giant mech. Looking around, he kicks it down the hole and watches it get sucked out into space. He runs off again.
[AdmiralDrake] Fury: *pulls away from the Tsivrixsh ship, turning away to get away from it.  By now, Dominator has finished off the rest of the fleet*
[DeathStar] Computer: *teleports DS on top of Slasher*
* AdmiralDrake seems to have sobered up now.
[AdmiralDrake] My, that was more fun than I've had in years.  You guys always were a trip.
* DeathStar sits up, on top of Slasher.
[DeathStar] Man, my head is killing me.
[Slasher] ....*twitches*
[DeathStar] Fury: *returns to it's original position*
[DeathStar] Computer: We've got a message incoming from the Alliance Flagship.  It seems Dominator is coming over here to see what the hell we were just doing.
[Slasher] Now my mission can start..
*** Dominator has joined #taw
* Dominator walks into the room, looking at them all. He then looks at the crate of ale, raising his eyebrow.
[Dominator] You rammed that ship and put your lives in danger for...ale?
* Slasher is still wearing the eye patch and the pirate cap
[Slasher] .....STar....move...
[DeathStar] Right...
* DeathStar stands up and gets a seat, holding his head.
[Slasher] ...*pushes himself up
* AdmiralDrake talks with the computer, not getting involved.
[Slasher] Aye Dom...my quest require much alcohol!
[Dominator] You guys shouldn't recklessly put your lives in danger!  You almost died seven years ago!
* Slasher reaches into his container and pulls out an ale handing it to Dom
[Slasher] ....Drink up!
[Dominator] No thanks...
[Slasher] Tsiv make some damn good ale
* DeathStar stays out of this.
* Slasher leans on the Tsiv staff he took
[Dominator] You haven't changed much, Slasher.  *Sighs* 
[Slasher] ......*flips the eye patch up* Well I've only aged about a couple months since I last seen you...
[Dominator] I keep forgetting that.
[Slasher] Aye ye doooooooo *accents the ooo part all Irish like*
[Slasher] I don't like how easy this battle was.
[Dominator] Well, the Tsivrixsh aren't putting their best FIGHTERS on ships.  They put their best ship people on ships.  If you want a fight, it'll be bases or land forces.
[Slasher] I was talking about the fleet battle...
[Dominator] Oh, *nods* it was a small force.  The big battle was several days ago. 
* Dominator gestures at the 700 ships.
[DeathStar] ...
[Dominator] That's all we have left to our fleet.
* DeathStar looks out the viewport.
[Dominator] Lunaris was a big help giving us ships.  But they're out of ships, too, now.
[Slasher] How many did we have before.
[Dominator] Over the years, we've had around 5,000 ships.  Lunaris making up most of the fleet.  
[Slasher] .....We lost over 4000 ships?
[Dominator] ...yes.
* DeathStar makes a sound, looking back out at the fleet.
[Slasher] Do you have any allies that are trying to make more ships?
[Dominator] Oh, sure, we're trying to make ships all the time.  But our resources are at the max.
* Dominator looks tired as he says this.
[DeathStar] You've done good, Dominator.
* DeathStar looks at him.
[DeathStar] But perhaps we need a new strategy.
[Dominator] Yes, we do.
* Dominator doesn't offer any suggestions, due to the fact he has none.
* DeathStar taps fingers.
[Slasher] Why not grow ships?
[DeathStar] What if I try to gather up small task force and look for the Tsivrixsh homeworld?  I'll take out any military installations and when we find it, we can alert the fleet and cut off the serpent's head.
[Dominator] ...grow ships?  *looks back at DS* That...could work.
[Slasher] I like Star's plan!
* Dominator nods
[Dominator] Lets do that.  I have the feeling Death Star could find it better than I could.  And I have enough problems trying to keep the Alliance from going it's seperate ways.
[DeathStar] Always the politician, Dom.  
* Slasher looks at Dom's head
[Slasher] Are you going bald?
[Dominator] No...
[Slasher] Your going bald!
[Dominator] But I'm a reploid!
[Slasher] What's wrong with a bald reploid?
[Dominator] Sigma, for instance?
[Slasher] You make it sound like being bald is a bad thing. *brushs his beatiful vibrant hair*
* Dominator gives up, knowing he won't win an agruement with Slasher.
[Slasher] So what's next on the agenda for you guys?
* Slasher sends a msg to the Chief Mechanic to send some men up to pick up his ale and put it on the ship
[Dominator] We're going to patrol this area for the next few weeks, to see if the Tsivrixsh try to reclaim it.  If not, we're going to head to a military base a few sectors away and take it out.
[Dominator] We're basically planet hopping.
* DeathStar is quiet, tinkering with a datapad.
[Slasher] Freeing one planet at a time.
[Dominator] Right.
* DeathStar looks up
[DeathStar] Slasher, I still encouarge you not to go on this mission.
[DeathStar] (encourage)
[Slasher] But I must...For science
[Slasher] And for Snipe...
[DeathStar] I could really use your help ... *hesitates* But do what you must.
[Dominator] GM: *a few men come in and grab the crate, hauling it off*
[Slasher] I'm not as good of a fighter as I used to be Star...
*** Hik|AWAY is now known as Hikaryuu
[DeathStar] Yeah, I suppose so.  Are you going to be taking Cheryl with you?
[DeathStar] NRP: Egad, speak of the devil!
[Hikaryuu] NRP: Whoa... A session
[Slasher] If she wants to...
[Slasher] NRP: Quick run!
* DeathStar nods
[DeathStar] I guess for the time being it'll only be me and Phantasma as my taskforce.  The others are probably just getting settled in on Lunaris.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *wanders up* Of course I want to! *pauses* Where are you going...?
[DeathStar] And Dias.
* DeathStar looks at Cheryl.
[Slasher] To find Motenk Ruins...
[Slasher] And I've got your favorite ale for us on the trip...
*** Ninia has joined #Taw
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *grins* You always know how to get your way.
[Slasher] Plus we've got a whole war ship to ourselves...*grins*
[DeathStar] .....
[Dominator] .....
*** Ninia has quit IRC (Quit: )
* DeathStar stands up, setting the datapad down.
[DeathStar] Dominator, you have any small ships that you could afford to let go for me?
[Dominator] Yeah.  I do.  I'll have it assigned to you tomorrow.
[DeathStar] Thanks.
[Slasher] Star....*hands him a datapad*
* DeathStar takes the datapad, glancing at it.
[Slasher] It has a list of 1/3 of my contacts...Incase you need any extra help or information.
[DeathStar] Alright.
* DeathStar glances at Phantasma, raising his eyebrow.
[DeathStar] I'll definitely need that "extra" help part.
[Slasher] But they might require your help in something..
[AdmiralDrake] I suppose if I meet Sera and her crew I should relay them to you, Death Star?
[DeathStar] Only if they want to join up with me.  
[Dominator] Well, I need to go now.  Take care, everyone.  Good to see you all again.  And good luck with your missions, Slasher - Death Star.
* Dominator turns and walks out.
* Slasher points at Dom's head and starts laughing
*** Dominator has quit IRC (Quit: )
* DeathStar crosses his arms, glancing at Slasher
[DeathStar] Well, Slasher, I'll see you whenever.
[DeathStar] Computer: Your ship is ready for launch, Slasher.
[DeathStar] Computer: And good riddence to you, I say!
[Slasher] What?
[Slasher] Dias: *comes walkign in*
[Slasher] Aye *reaches his hand out
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Don't make me turn you into a toaster, Computer
[DeathStar] Computer: Bring it!
[Slasher] You did remember the....ummm...ya know right?
[DeathStar] NRP: Who's Slasher talking to?
[Slasher] NRP: Cher
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *looks to Slasher* Which?
[Slasher] Might as well bring all of them just in case.
* DeathStar gets that funny "I'm going to get sick" look.
[AdmiralDrake] Well, Slasher, you take care of yourself.  I don't want to have to pull your butt out of the frying pan.
[Slasher] Well my fair lady...*reaches his elbow out*
* Slasher grabs Cheryl's and tosse's her over his shoulder
[Slasher] Time to jet mis amigos...
* Slasher goes running down the hallway towards the hanger
*** Phantasma is now known as Garland
* DeathStar crosses his arms again.
[DeathStar] I really don't see how those two get along so well...
* DeathStar looks at Dias.
[DeathStar] Well, do you want to follow me?  I'm going to be searching for the Tsivrixsh homeworld.  Phantasma there is coming, too, I think.
*** Slasher is now known as Dias
* Dias drops his head and begins thinking
[Dias] I'm in.
[DeathStar] Well, it'll just be us three until I can recruit some people.  Well, lets go.
* DeathStar waves at Drake and heads for the hanger himself.
* Dias looks out the main port and see's the ProtoType pulling out of the Fury
* Dias turns and follows DS
*** AdmiralDrake is now known as GM
