Session 178: The End



[DeathStar] Pre-Session 178 Mini-Session
[DeathStar] Time Chart: 1 day after last session, Climax Part Three
[DeathStar] Location: Dominator's Alliance Flag Ship
* DeathStar is in his quarters, sleeping after his poison incident
*** Sherinmir is now known as Diamondback
*** Slasher has joined #taw
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: What time's it?
* Dias is floating in a rejuv tank in the medbay
[DeathStar] NRP: It's evening time.
* Diamondback sits on the edge of his bed, staring at a family picture in his hand
* Slasher sits at a console on the bridge, going over damage reports
* Hotaru-chan sits in her room, thinking.
* Eve` is in the hanger.
* Snipe is in the training room.
* Slasher looks up to Dominator
[Slasher] You know we didn't do too bad...
[Dominator] Not too bad... but I can't help but think of the ways we could've done better.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *is in the training room too, but seems to be more thinking than anything*
[Slasher] It does suck that I lost the prototype ship...
* Snipe is drunk, fighting a hologram of Xevil. Bottles of beer lay on the floor near him.
[Diamondback] [Dad... I still... can't believe you're...]
* Diamondback closes his eyes
[Slasher] NRP: BJ: *pops up* Dead? Nah...just hanging out with all the hot chickes!
[Dominator] Yeah... *glances blankly at the screen for a minute, then focuses*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] You should be careful not to lose control...
* Diamondback 's eyes snap open, his irises blazing deep purple
[Slasher] .....But that's alright, I've already got the parts ordered for a new Proto-type ship that'll make the first one look like a snail.
* Snipe thrusts his leg forward, knocking Xevil back. He looks at Kyouki, wobbles a bit, then gets sucker punched by Xevil.
[Dominator] *smiles a bit* That should be great
[Slasher] Plus it'll make a great cup of joe!
[Diamondback] [...That same dream. Again...]
* Dias continues recovering from all his injuries and letting his body rest
* Eve` works on Dias' mech, trying to keep her mind off the horror of yesterday.
* Diamondback looks up, then jogs out of his room towards the bridge
* Snipe rubs the back of his head, clearly annoyed, then grabs another bottle, chugging it down.
[Dominator] That's always useful. *watches the viewscreen as the ship moves through space*
* DeathStar opens his eyes and looks around his quarters. Nearby Ariel is asleep. Carefully getting up, he moves out of the room. He walks towards the bridge.
[Dias] ...We won, yet your still not happy? Yeah we do have Xevil to worry about but still..
[Dominator] You know... I can't help but think of we had Xevil near defeated...
[Dias] NRP: *CRAP!
[Slasher]  ...We won, yet your still not happy? Yeah we do have Xevil to worry about but still..
* Diamondback slows and walks up next to Dominator
[Slasher] Your a hero back on Earth...
[Dominator] That was what... 27 years ago
* Dominator turns to DB
[Slasher] Roughly...
[Dominator] Hello, Diamondback
* DeathStar walks onto the bridge, his eyes not quite the same as they were before - tired, dead like almost. He looks around.
[Diamondback] [...Dom, can I talk to you for a sec?]
* Slasher waves his hand up at DS
* Snipe consoles himself with the bottle of alcohol, having the Xevil programmed on pause.
[Dominator] Of course. *stands, as if to ask if to ask if DB wants to talk in private*
* DeathStar waves back, a grin appearing on his face.
* Diamondback simply turns around and walks to the other side of the room
* Dominator follows him
[Slasher] NRP: Thats a lot of asking
[Diamondback] *to Dom while walking* [You know... things are pretty crazy right now...]
[Slasher] How ya feeling chief?
[Dominator] What's on your mind?
* Diamondback turns around and props against the wall
* Dominator said quietly to DB
[DeathStar] Pretty good.
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [You are... were... one of Dad's friends. And the commander of operations right now.]
* DeathStar takes a seat, leaning back.
[Slasher] Poison out of your system?
[DeathStar] I don't know.  I haven't had any tests run on me.
[Slasher] We don't want any residual effects appearing.
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [I figured you'd be the best person to bring this up with right now.]
[Dominator] *slowly* Yes, I am and I was.
* Hotaru-chan heads over to the bridge, finally.
* Snipe laughs loudly, then hushes, like he knows a secret. He grabs another bottle.
* Dominator nods, "Go on."
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [I've...been having a crazy dream-slash-vision lately...]
[Dominator] Of...?
[Slasher] You really need to get that checked ol' man.
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [In it... I see Dad with a card in his hand, and he throws it at some kind of reactor... it explodes, and I see him screaming... or maybe a victory yell? Anyway... when the light from the explosion fades, I see... some kind of dark hallway... everything's tinted green from the lights overhead.]
[DeathStar] Later.  The only thing on my mind is finding Xevil so we can go back to Earth.
* Slasher shakes his head
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] ... I thought I was the crazy one...
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Where's Dom?
[Slasher] What if that poison wasn't meant to kill you but, only weaken your immune system so that a virus could affect you
* Snipe looks at Kyouki, making his eyes go big.
[Snipe] Welcome to the club!
* Dominator is on the bridge speaking quietly with DB
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [...Then Snipe steps forward... it's then that I notice that everyone is there... but then an explosion comes out of nowhere, and everyone...] *trails off*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *laughs coldly*
* Dominator brow furrows
* DeathStar shrugs.
[Slasher] Come on...*stands up*
* Snipe laughs, like he said the funniest thing in the world, but the quiets down again.
[Slasher] Feels like I'm your damned mother some times...
[DeathStar] Oh, go bother someone.
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [And that's where it ends. I can't see anything else... *shakes his head* It's got me terrified...]
[Slasher] ...I thought I already was?
* DeathStar taps his fingers together, silently.
[DeathStar] Go bother Garland. 
[Dominator] I see... Diamondback, you have to realize... You've lost your father, we've all lost him... I think it's only natural that in your dreams, you begin to wonder... if anything's safe or perminant
[Slasher] He smells...plus he's still got that damned erection and it bugs me.
* Dominator looks off quietly, remembering
[Diamondback] *to Dom* [It's... not the first part I'm worried about... the whole thing feels... so real... it's like everyone else is going to follow...]
* Snipe gets up, gathering some bottles with alcohol still in them, and wanders out into the hallways.
[Dominator] You're suggesting... some sort of a vision?
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Where's Dom?
[DeathStar] NRP: Bridge.
[Diamondback] *stands straight* [I am a psion, after all.]
[Diamondback] [And not just a psion, an enhanced... it's not unheard of for us to be able to "see" things.]
[Hotaru-chan] [So, what's new?]
[Slasher] ....*shakes his head* Anyways....GAH *shudders* Damnt mental image...
[DeathStar] Serves you right.  *keeps his eyes closed*
[Dominator] Yes, you are...
[Diamondback] [...Sorry I bothered you with this... I just had a weird feeling...]
[Slasher] NRP: DB: I see dead people...*whispers silently*
* Snipe works his way to the bridge, leaning against the wall and sipping his alcohol. He giggles, then hushes up, trying to look innocent.
* Garland wanders.
[Dominator] Well, then... perhaps it is just anxiety... if it hasn't happened to any other enhanced...
* Diamondback salutes. [I'm going to go train a little... call me if the team needs me.] With that, he disappears in a flash of purple energy.
[Hotaru-chan] If what hasn't happened?
[Dominator] I'm not psionic myself, so I can't say for certain, but... your psionic senses make you accurate to feelings non-psions never imagine... You could be reacting to some of them...
* DeathStar glances at Snipe out of the corner of his eyes. He rolls them, then looks back a datapad. Picking up, he runs through some data.
* Dominator salutes back, though DB's gone
[Hotaru-chan] You mean... like in a dream?
* Dominator rubs the beard he grew in recent years thoughtfully, worried about various things
* Slasher sets his hand on DS's head and messes up his hair
* DeathStar hrms, hitting buttons. He ignores Slasher, though it's probably a good bet he knows Slasher did it.
[Dominator] NRP: Where those questions directly at Dom, Hotaru?
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Yeah... ^^;
* Dominator turns to Hikaru
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: WHA?
[Dominator] Something Diamondback told me... a dream he's been having
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Hikaru?
[Dominator] NRP: Ack!
[Slasher] Whacha lookin at chief?
* Dominator turns to Hotaru
[Hotaru-chan] It's not about Snipe, is it?
[Dominator] Not... exactly.
[DeathStar] Data on Xevil since we've known him.
* Snipe stumbles over to look over DS' shoulder.
[Hotaru-chan] What do you mean?
[Snipe] Xevil?  Where?!
[Slasher] If we could get a hold of that drug that he said he perfected....I could probably make an antidote for it...
[Dominator] It may be nothing or just anxiety... But he's had a dream forboding harm coming to most of us...
[Hotaru-chan] Xevil's nowhere near here, Snipe... calm down...
[Dominator] Well, let's leave it at that. I think it's just a dream. He's gone through a lot... We all have
* Dominator glances toward DS and Snipe
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Wait, is Snipe around the bridge? If not, ignore my calm down line
[DeathStar] I wish I had been there the first time you encountered his alternate form...
* Snipe glances at Hotaru, blinking a few times.
[Hotaru-chan] *to Dom* [Okay... I'm just scared...]
[Slasher] I wasn't much use so don't worry about it.
* DeathStar enters more variables.
[Dominator] Don't worry. With all luck, we've won the largest battle we'll ever face in our lifetimes... We just have to clean up what remains...
[Slasher] Do we have any data on his original drug?
[Dominator] You haven't sensed anything, psionically, have you? Hotaru?
[DeathStar] Okay, you see, Xevil faked his own death over seven years ago on that planet.  He obviously wanted to be out of the picture for a while.  Why?  What was it he needed to do?  Perfect the formula?
[Slasher] That's what he said to us...
[Slasher] But knowing him it could be something to keep us occupied on while what he's really doing is out of site
[Hotaru-chan] *to Dom* [Just a dream... probably just nerves, but I dreamt we all died in an explosion...]
[DeathStar] And you also say he claimed he was glad the Emperor was overthrown.  Why?  He's not making a gamble for power right now on the homeworld.
* Snipe chugs another bottle.
[Slasher] Possibly he may just not have liked the guy...An unknown quarrel from previous days..
[Hotaru-chan] Maybe the emperor disagreed with what he was doing...
* Dominator glances over at Hotaru too sharply after he hears that
[DeathStar] I think it runs deeper than that.
[Dominator] ...An explosion...
[Slasher] Blood ties?
[Slasher] Stolen highschool girlfriend? Ex-lovers
[Slasher] Something like that?
[DeathStar] Yeah, the emperor was having Xevil play lapdog, which explains why Xevil faked his own death - freedom.  But there must have been something the Emperor had that Xevil wanted and now can get.
[Garland] Heirarchy, perhaps?
* DeathStar glances at Garland.
* Garland steps in.
* Dominator glances over at DS, listening in
[Slasher] Access to a secret Labatory?
[Slasher] Where he can make the drug?
[DeathStar] Hard to say.  I don't think he would boast about it unless the drug was done.
[Dias] *the fluid begins draining around him, waking him up from his deep sleep*
[Garland] Or unless he had another trump card other than that.
[DeathStar] You said he said all his opposition in the galaxy was gone ... except the Hunters, right?
[Slasher] Well...we know that Xevil wanted the Emperor out of the picture...what if he's found out about the Prime Reality?
[Garland] Doubtful.
[Hotaru-chan] ... I certainly hope not...
[DeathStar] Entertaining, but I don't think Xevil would go for it.
[Hotaru-chan] Why not?
[Snipe] *soberly* Weapon.
[Garland] Mainly because if he realized DS was the keeper of the Prime, he'd probably have killed DS when he had the chance. IE; When he approached us.
[DeathStar] ....what?
[Slasher] Ok...here's what we got....Xevil's only concern now is us...why would we be such a hamper on his parade?
* DeathStar looks at Snipe.
[Hotaru-chan] Weapon?
* Snipe leans back, frowning.
[Snipe] A weapon.  The emperor had a weapon Xevil wanted, I bet.
[Snipe] One that could get rid of us.
[Hotaru-chan] ...
[Slasher] Why would he need the weapon if he's perfected his formula?
[DeathStar] ...maybe he still fears us enough that he doesn't trust it completely?
[Dominator] ... *silently goes over the possibilities in his head*
[DeathStar] ...or maybe he wants a weapon that can help him dominate the galaxy.
[Hotaru-chan] What is this formula, anyway?
[Slasher] Unless the formula will drive him insane like Hyper did...and it's his last resort..
[DeathStar] Originally it did.  Dominator knows more about that than me, though.
* DeathStar looks at Dominator
[DeathStar] You led the fight against Doom.  You guys knocked Xevil into something, right, and transformed him?
* Dominator looks toward DS
[Slasher] I'm thinking the formula may be 'perfected' but he still won't have the control he needs when using it..
[Slasher] Can we get a hold of Xrivsler?
[Slasher] NRP: whatever the hell his name is
* Snipe drinks some more alcohol.
[DeathStar] Xrileshr?
[Dominator] That's right... Once he transformed into "Doom" he was tremendously powerful, but he had no real mind to speak of...
[DeathStar] Maybe later.  He said he was busy doing some work on reconstructing the government.
[Dominator] NRP: *loves those Tsivrixsh names*
* Garland crosses his arms.
[DeathStar] We have too many variables here.  We need some more concrete stuff.
[Slasher] ...If we could get a hold of all the Emperors little pet projects we might be able to guess at what he's after.
[Garland] Why is it that the world is never enough? People always want to conquer more... Hm...
* DeathStar sets the datapad down.
[Dominator] *remembering* We blasted Xevil into purple energy containers.... Hmmm
[Hotaru-chan] Tremendously powerful, but no real mind... reminds me of Kyouki a little... *grins obviously fakely*
[Dominator] Death Star is right... We're going on barely any facts here...
[Slasher] Facts come from somewhere Dom...
[DeathStar] Lets go over what we DO know.
[DeathStar] 1) Xevil originally had a grudge over us when we killed his brother during our first scuffle against the Tsivrixsh as Hutners.
* Dias steps out of the rejuv tank and dries himself off, putting clothes on after he's dry
[Dominator] I know, but will those facts tell us his intentions...?
* Dominator nods
[Hotaru-chan] ...
[Dias] Computer, where's Eve?
[DeathStar] Chip: Hanger.
[Dias] ..Chip?
[DeathStar] 2) Xevil, despite being weaker than Crucifixtion and The Elder, has killed more of our teammates than anyone else.
[DeathStar] Chip: ..Dias?
[Dias] I didn't know you were back..
[Dominator] Weaker in physical strength for time, perhaps...
[DeathStar] 3) He had the ability to transform into Doom - super powerful, super dumb.  His only weaknesses were ice.
[Slasher] Hey Snipe's got a fear of ice...maybe there brothers.
[Snipe] Fuck you.
[Slasher] Both are super powerful...and super dumb..
[Snipe] Double fuck you.
[Slasher] ...*smiles*
[Hotaru-chan] *angrily* Slasher...
* Slasher sticks tongue out at Hotaru
[DeathStar] 4) Xevil replaced The Elder and became MUCH stronger.  But his plans remained a mystery.  He only seemed to be a lapdog.
[Slasher] Defending your boyfriend?
* Hotaru-chan looks mad, then sticks her tongue out at Slasher
[DeathStar] 5) Xevil destroyed Earth.  6) He faked his own death for seven years.  7) He's recently returned.
[DeathStar] 8) He claims he has perfected the Doom transformation.  9)  He's glad we got rid of the emperor.
* Slasher puts his thumb upto his nose and raspberries her
* Snipe looks between the two, confused.
* Dominator ignores Slasher and Hotaru
[DeathStar] 9) He considers us his only opposition.
[Garland] There's always the chance he could just be an asshole, but it's never that easy.
[Hotaru-chan] Well, 6, 7 and 8 suggest he's ready for action... 
* Slasher looks over at Snipe
[Slasher] *mouths* I think she wants your junk man.
[Snipe] ...
* Slasher starts making obscene gestures
[Hotaru-chan] Slasher, stop that!
[Dominator] That's what we have to work with...
* Slasher freezes
[Slasher] ...Stop what?
* Hotaru-chan is blushing all the time, though
[DeathStar] That's about it.  And Slasher's mojo.
[Hotaru-chan] Stop it with the obscene gestures!
* Slasher turns to DS and flexes his biceps
[Slasher] ....What obscene gestures? I don't know what your talking about.
[Hotaru-chan] I think... ャ_ャ
[Dominator] That too, of course...
[Hotaru-chan] ...
[Hotaru-chan] I think Xevil has been watching us. Somehow.
* Dias turns and makes his way down to the Hanger
* DeathStar leans back in his seat, his eyes looking dead still as he loses himself in his memories.
[Hotaru-chan] Xevil's basing his entire plans around our weaknesses...
* Dominator thinks in his own quiet manner, looking more tired than usual
[Slasher] Or maybe....One of us is Xevil's lapdog! A life of lapdog service has created in him a urge to put that job on someone else....Like...YOU! *points at Hotaru*
[Hotaru-chan] ... ME?!
[Snipe] Her???
[DeathStar] ....Snipe.
[Slasher] Oh yeah...I can see it...
[Snipe] Me?
[Hotaru-chan] Why not you, you obnoxious freak?
* DeathStar turns to look at Snipe.
[Hotaru-chan] ... SNIPE!?
[Slasher] ....Oooh someone's getting a lil flustered over Snipe being accused.
[DeathStar] He poisoned Snipe with an extermental virus.  When Snipe died from it, we assumed it was over, but when I reconstructed him and Slasher brought him back from the dead, we never questioned if the virus had any other effects.
[Hotaru-chan] SHUT UP SLASHER!
* Snipe looks blank.
[DeathStar] (experimental)
[Slasher] ...*looks at Snipe and shrugs not knowing where DS is taking this*
[Hotaru-chan] ... Snipe... can't be...
* Slasher turns to Hotaru
* Dominator frowns
[DeathStar] I'm not saying he is.  But I'm saying Xevil might be able to use the effects of the virus against Snipe.  If anything remains in his blood from it.  
[Dominator] I'm not sure we want to begin pointing fingers at one another
[Dominator] That would only be something Xevil would want
[Slasher] Ooooh someone's getting a lil cranky when she's being accused of...liking...*says it slowly* Snipe.
* Snipe looks out the viewport, thinking.
[Slasher] ....So who's up for a beer?
* Snipe sips his own alcohol silently.
[Hotaru-chan] Slasher... just shut up...
[Slasher] ....Shut up about what?
[DeathStar] I hate to say it, but Xevil is the smartest villian I've seen besides Cran.
[DeathStar] He's got the power and the means to do just about anything.
* Dominator takes his seat
[Slasher] Be lucky I'm not a villian than...
[Hotaru-chan] Sometimes I wonder...
[Dominator] I'm afraid I agree with you, Death Star...
* Dias enters the hanger and looks around
* Eve` looks over his shoulder, wiping a smudge on her face.
[Eve`] Dias1
[Slasher] I just enjoy torturing some people Hotaru!
[Garland] So, what do we do, then?
[DeathStar] ...wait.
* Dias starts smiling
[Garland] I see.
[Dominator] To think of how many times we've nearly defeated him... you even thought you did defeat him... I don't know. What game is playing?
[Hotaru-chan] Wait, and prepare.
[Hotaru-chan] He's playing mindgames.
* Dominator watches the viewscreen
[DeathStar] Xevil is a serpent..
* Snipe wanders off the bridge.
* DeathStar watches Snipe go.
[Slasher] You know Hotaru....when we fight Xevil....some of us might not survive...One who...harbors feelings for someone else...should seize this time to..oh I don't know...TELL SNIPE!!
[DeathStar] And I'm afraid just being near him might impair John's judgement.
* Slasher giggles maddly
[Hotaru-chan] ... Slasher... shut up.
* Hotaru-chan heads off after Snipe.
[DeathStar] He gave John the most painful way to die ever.
* Slasher looks at her
* Snipe walks down the hallway, weaving around like a drunk man.
[Slasher] Hey....Star, Dom...If Snipe was reborn...would he techinically be a virgin again?
[DeathStar] Ask Garland.
[Dominator] ... I'm afraid I can't answer a metaphysical question like that...
* Slasher looks for Garland
[Hotaru-chan] Snipe...?
* Snipe glances around, having to lean against the wall so he won't fall.
[Snipe] Heh heh, whazzup?
[Dias] She looks great Eve..
[Dominator] *looks back at DS* Yes, that is worrisome... I haven't spent much time with Snipe since he, well, came back...
[DeathStar] Same here.
[DeathStar] He just showed up before our mission to the homeworld yesterday...
[Eve`] Thanks.
* Eve` hugs Dias.
* Garland looks at Slasher
[Dominator] I know...
* Dias hugs her back
[Dominator] There's too many variables in this situation, but... I guess they're always are.
* Dominator manages a smile
[Slasher] Gar....would Snipe be a virgin again? *has a face that makes him look like this question will determine the fate of his future*
[DeathStar] *faint smile, not his usual cocky one* That's the life of a Hunter.
[Hotaru-chan] I... well... I'm worried about you...
[Garland] Well, knowing him he probably died a virgin.
[Snipe] *trying to act sober* Uh, why?  If it's my walking, this hallway keeps weaving.
[DeathStar] NRP: There's a story where Snipe gets lucky.
[Slasher] ....Well he did spend some time with your step-daughter Elayne...
[Dominator] It is... I sometimes wonder what a "normal" life would have been like... Do the times shape the people? Or the people the times? I think we've found its something of both...
[Slasher] NRP: OH YEAH!! Lara Croft!
[Hotaru-chan] It's just... well... I'm scared about... the future...
[Slasher] NRP: Snipe and the one night stand!
[Snipe] Don't think about the future.  It complicates things too much.  There's only one definite future.
[Hotaru-chan] I don't want you to die again!
[Garland] I'm kidding.... well, being a male virgin is of little consequence to anything. It's not even considered on "the other side".
[Dias] How long you been out here?
[Eve`] A few hours.
[Dias] Your still as quick as ever..
* Snipe frowns as he listens to Hotaru's words.
[Snipe] Look ... Hotaru, I died 3 times.  I'm living on borrowed time.  I'm not of this world.
[Hotaru-chan] And I am?
[Slasher] But it still means tho that if he get's laid...he loses his virginity twice..No that doesnt' happen every time.
[Garland] As for women, if they die non-virgin, and their body is well, just fixed up and they come back, no. But if they get a new body, physically yes, but really no.
[Hotaru-chan] I've died too...
* Snipe shrugs, taking another swallow of his drink.
[Slasher] See it's questions like these that keep me up all night Gar.
[Hotaru-chan] And... I'd be devastated if you left me...
[Garland] Who sleeps anymore?
* Slasher raises his hand
[Garland] Somehow I believe that.
* Garland crosses his arms.
* Slasher opens his eyes
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Not Garland. Where do you think all the half-catgons come from?
[Snipe] Look, Hotaru...I'm flattered, really, but you should be concerned for someone else, okay?  I'm just not dependable.
[Slasher] ...What? I fell asleep...
[Slasher] NRP: Snipe: I...I can't get it up..*runs off crying*
[Garland] NRP: You want to be smashed, Hotaru?
[Hotaru-chan] ... I can't just choose who I lo... *blushes*
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Sorry. ^^;
[Slasher] NRP: She should talk to Elayne then..
[Snipe] ... *even in his state he picks up on that, looking to the side.  He looks troubled*
[Hotaru-chan] What's wrong...?
* Snipe takes another gulp.
[Dias] Hungry?
[Snipe] When I was younger, all I did was chase skirts and women.  I didn't care who I was with or who's heart I broke.  Then, I met a girl that changed that a bit for me.  Maki.  But, then she left me.  And I thought I fell in love with Elayne, not the thought.  But it turns out she just wanted to mate --- with anyone.  I realize now I barely knew her.
* Snipe takes another gulp.
[Snipe] And if you think about it, Hotaru, outside the job, we barely know  each other.
[Slasher] So....Let's take this way Gar...Let's say...Ariel died...and DS in his Prime Reality state...brought her back but before she lost it. Would she still be a virgin then?
[Hotaru-chan] ...
[Garland] Would she remember anything before that?
[DeathStar] (note the thought)
[Hotaru-chan] I guess you're saying I can't get to know you, anyway...
[Slasher] ....Oh of course..
[Snipe] ...
[Slasher] So what then? In her head she'd know what to do, but her body wouldn't..
[Slasher] I think she'd still be a virgin.
[Hotaru-chan] I guess you'd be happier with just Emily...
[Snipe] No, no I wouldn't be.
[Garland] Well, really? No. But for all intensible purposes yes.
[Hotaru-chan] No?
* Snipe lowers the bottle, leaning his head against the wall.
* DeathStar looks at Slasher.
[Snipe] No.
[Slasher] Why wouldn't she be tho? I mean come on...her mmmmhhhmmm would be pristine...untouched.
* DeathStar narrows his eyes.
[Hotaru-chan] ... I'm not sure whether to find that comforting or depressing...
[Garland] Alright, fine. Yes.
[Slasher] I thought so....
[Snipe] Welcome to my life, Hotaru-chan.  *starts walking down the hallway again*
[Hotaru-chan] You mean it?
* Dominator is silent, thinking and resting
[Snipe] I mean what?
* Snipe looks back.
[Slasher] And now you know what goes through my head constantly...Scary isnt' it?
[Hotaru-chan] You really do like me?
[Snipe] I really do like you, Hotaru-chan.
* Hotaru-chan hugs Snipe, overjoyed.
[Hotaru-chan] Thankyou...
* Snipe stands there, a bit surprised.
[Slasher] ....*looks around, trying to find something to occupy him*
[Hotaru-chan] I thought you didn't want me...
* Snipe wraps one arm around her and leans his head against her
[Slasher] NRP: WHO LET THE DOG OUT!!
[Snipe] I'm just so confused, Hotaru.  Bad experiences in my life make it so hard for me to move on any relationship now.
[Slasher] NRP: How old is she?
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Physically or Chronologically?
[Slasher] NRP: Physically
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Well, she's old enough, anyway.
* DeathStar throws a ball out to entertain Slasher.
[Slasher] NRP: Old enough in Snipe's standards?
* Slasher eyes it as it passes by
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: I don't know Snipe's standards, but I'd guess so.
* Slasher slowly starts backpeddling towards it whistling like nothing's going on
[Slasher] NRP: He;s like the tortouise, get's there before the hair
* DeathStar looks at Garland.
[DeathStar] I worry about him.
* Eve` stretches.
* Dias smiles and grabs her by the waist and starts tickling her
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Hey, I'm not in triple figures... at least, not physically.
[DeathStar] NRP: Physically (not counting the 7 year gap), Snipe is 22.
[Slasher] NRP: ...if you went through mine...she'd be like...12
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: ...?
[Slasher] NRP: Nevermind
* Eve` laughs hard
* Snipe unwraps his arm and stands there, swaying a bit from the effects of alcohol.
[Dias] Whistle! Come on!! *continues tickling her*
* Slasher turns around
* Eve` whistles, unwittingly, Blues' theme.
[Dias] ...*drops his hands and looks at her dumbfounded* How the hell did you whistle while I was tickling you?
[Hotaru-chan] You like Emily too, don't you? Well, she's got to grow up a little first, but...
* Eve` smiles in a superior manner.
[Eve`] I'm not telling
[Slasher] OH NO MY SHOELACE IS UNTIED! *bends over slowly to tie his shoe and grabs the ball*
[Snipe] Yes, I like Emily, too.  ... *looks a bit confused at this line of questioning*
* Dias smirks
* DeathStar pulls a remote and hits a button, electrifying the ball.
[Dias] You never cease to amaze me..
* Slasher drops the ball and pulls his hand to his mouth and sucks on his fingers
[Hotaru-chan] It's just... *looks embarrassed*
* Slasher looks around for something rubber
* Slasher reaches into the back of his pants and pulls out some rubber gloves, he puts them on and picks the ball up
[Snipe] It's just what?
[Hotaru-chan] I know she likes you too, and... *looks embarrassed again*
* Snipe nods, slowly his mind working around these thoughts.
*** Protean is now known as Avalon
* Slasher tosses the ball up and down smiling victorious
[Hotaru-chan] She spends a lot of time in my body... and... I wanted to make sure you were fine with that!
* DeathStar leans against a door, which opens and throws him off balance into the room.
[DeathStar] NRP: Snipe does that
[Snipe] Whoa1
[Hotaru-chan] ... not to mention the fact you'd technically have two girlfriends...
* Snipe stumbles around in his drunk state, hits the bed in the room, flips over it and falls between the bed and the space between the wall.
[Garland] OOC: What would I give to have two GFs, but only have to upkeep one? WOO!
* Hotaru-chan hurries over to make sure Snipe's okay
* Snipe lays there, stuck.
* Dias grabs Eve's hand and brings her over to the massive launch door and sits down, as he watches the stars
[DeathStar] NRP: LOL
* Hotaru-chan helps Snipe out
* Snipe loses his bottle as he gets up, stumbling around the room.
[Snipe] I think this is Dom's room ... we shouldn't *hic* break anything
* Slasher looks over at DS and Gar
*** Avalon is now known as jonathan-Crichton
*** jonathan-Crichton is now known as Jonathan-Crichton
[Slasher] Looky! I found a ball!!
[Dominator] NRP: Ack!
* Slasher waves it high in the air
*** Jonathan-Crichton is now known as Myth
[DeathStar] Really?  I would have never guessed.
* Hotaru-chan helps Snipe out, nervously.
[Dias] It's beautiful out here...
[Slasher] AND IT'S ALL MINE!!!
[Eve`] Yes it is.
* Snipe leans against Hotaru, for support
[Snipe] I think I'm a bit drunk.
* Dominator is still on the bridge, shifting through files absently
[Hotaru-chan] Yeah... I think so too...
* DeathStar sits on the bridge.
* Snipe laughs
[Snipe] Just a bit, I assure you.
* Dias leans against her, resting his head against hers
*** Myth is now known as Protean
[DeathStar] NRP: Shall I begin the main session?
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: And Hika's STILL not here...
* Slasher tosses the ball at the back of Dom's head
*** Garland has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[Dominator] NRP: Up to you. It's probably best if we do.
[Snipe] *hic* I think we should go to the bar.
[Slasher] NRP: But then Snipe won't get laid!!
*** Garland has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Garland
[Hotaru-chan] And get even more drunk...?
[DeathStar] NRP: Oh, right, I forgot everything revolves around that.
[Dominator] NRP: Either that or I go and spring for dinner now
[Snipe] Sure.  You should try it.
[Slasher] NRP: You know damn right!
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Oh, dinner's come up?
[DeathStar] NRP: At 11 we'll start the main session.  It'll be a little over 3 hours.
[Dominator] NRP: I'm three hours behind most members
* Dias looks at Eve
*** Dominator is now known as Dominator_Gettin_Dinner
* Eve` looks at Dias.
[Dias] When Xevil is finally dead...We'll get married...
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: BRB, grabbing quick food
* Eve` nods, blushing
* Slasher watches as he misses
[Slasher] ...*frowns and takes the glove off*
* Slasher walks over to Star
[Slasher] So...did you finger out what Xevil wants?
[Eve`] Not yet
[DeathStar] NRP: Er
[DeathStar] Not yet
[DeathStar] NRP: *puts a pizza on to cook*
[Slasher] Obviously...he must fear us..I mean even with his formula perfected...he must fear us otherwise he would've wiped us out.
[DeathStar] I think you're right.
[Slasher] So maybe his formula is complete...but maybe it's not strong enough...Maybe we are stronger than he is.
[DeathStar] Could be.
* Snipe slides down onto the floor.
[Slasher] Ok...now with that...what could he get from the Emperor being out of the picture...He's patient enough to wait for political power..
[DeathStar] Hianule: *runs by Slasher*
[DeathStar] Agreed.
* Slasher sticks his leg out as Hianule runs by not even breaking a rhythm when talkign to DS
[DeathStar] Hianule: *flies into Dominator*
[DeathStar] ...*frowns a bit, as if seeing something*
[Slasher] ....What is it?
[DeathStar] ...I suddenly got a very bad feeling about tomorrow.
[Slasher] Like...Oops I left the kitchen stove on bad feeling? Or Oops I shit I'm not wearing any clothes bad feeling?
[DeathStar] "Oh shit, we're all going to die" bad feeling.
[Slasher] Oh...Then don't worry about it..
[DeathStar] Oh, okay.
* Slasher smiles
[DeathStar] ...Hopefully I can convince Ariel not to go along when we do find out Xevil's plan.  I couldn't bare the thought of Katrina losing us both.
[Slasher] .....You know she won't...
[Slasher] ...Listen to you..
* DeathStar glances at Slasher with those same dead eyes, then stands up, stretching
[Slasher] Your just gonna have to slip her some drugs, make love to her and when she passes out, leave her there.
[DeathStar] I'm going to go sleep.  I'll keep that in mind.
* DeathStar walks out.
* Slasher smiles
[Slasher] Or you could always taser her out.
[DeathStar] Chip: ...weird.
[Slasher] What?
[DeathStar] Chip: Oh, nothing.  Absolutely nothing.
[Slasher] Chip!!
[DeathStar] Chip: La dee da.
[Slasher] Chip....
[DeathStar] Chip: Yes?
[Slasher] Whats wierd?
[DeathStar] Chip: Oh nothing.
[Slasher] Damnt CHIP!
[DeathStar] Chip: Yes?
[Slasher] I don't know....
[Slasher] So what's wierd?
[DeathStar] Chip: Perhaps it would be best to tell you AFTER the mission.
[DeathStar] Chip: Against Xevil.
[Slasher] ....*quirks his eye* Why would it be better?
[DeathStar] Chip: Oh, no reason.
[Slasher] Chip...we've known each other for 2 years now?
[DeathStar] Chip: You wish.  Bwahaha.
[DeathStar] Chip: I'll tell you privately, but promise you'll wait until after the mission to tell anyone.
[Slasher] ....You know I won't.
[DeathStar] Chip: Then I can't teeeeell you.
[Slasher] ....I won't tell anyone...You always cut me off..
[DeathStar] Chip: Alright, if you won't tell anyone, then I'll tell you.
[DeathStar] Chip: It's about Death Star...
[DeathStar] Session Ends
[DeathStar] Okay, time for the main event - Session 178
[DeathStar] We'll begin in 2 minutes.
* #taw is being logged
* DeathStar grabs a microphone
[DeathStar] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ARE YOU READY FOR THE GRAND FINALE OF THE GALACTIC CONFLICT!  FOR THREE YEARS WE HAVE WORKED TO THIS MOMENT!
[Garland] Um... who's "we"?
[DeathStar] ...all you idiots who've been RPing in it for so long!
* Slasher raises his hand
[DeathStar] I'd like to thank a few people right now for helping me get this far.
[DeathStar] I want to thank Garland, for always saying to move on.  He's been a big help - making websites, pictures, and always being there for a helping hand.
[Dias] No need to thank your right hand Star, we already know about it's help
* Protean snores...
[DeathStar] I want to thank Slasher, for always being level with me on things with his ... weird wit.  He's been a big supporter of mine for a while now and it means a lot!
[DeathStar] I want to thank Dominator for occassionally showing up with his lazy ass!
[Slasher] And I'd like to thank Star for helping support my crack addiction.
[DeathStar] I would like to thank Alicia, for sticking on and always being a vivid supporter of TAW even to the extreme.
[Hotaru-chan] ^^
[Slasher] WHAT ABOUT ME! I think I stuck it into the extreme!
[DeathStar] Even though DB isn't here, I want to thank him, too, for always sticking around when I hold sessions.  And showing up for them if I schedule them.  Despite his parties, he's been a good friend.
[DeathStar] I want to thank Hikaryuu, even though he, too, isn't present.  Sure, he has his up and downs, but he's been a part of TAW for a long, long time and of course Ariel has come to mean a lot for my character DS.
* Garland dances
[Slasher] And Cheryl to my Slasher!! 
[Garland] I kick ass!
* Slasher thrusts his pelvis
[DeathStar] And finally, even though we don't get along, I like to let me it be known I thank X1 for helping me move my ass this far.  Sure, he's gotten fed up with me and sure I've gotten pissed at him, but he's always made sure I stick on with the RPG, always believing in me and always nudging me on.
[Garland] Me and you fought the most!
[DeathStar] True that.
[DeathStar] Even though this isn't the 5th year anniversary, we're only two months away, so this sorta feels like a culmination of five years.
[Slasher] Me and Garland fought!! *Waves hand frantically*
[Slasher] Don't ignorem e!!
[DeathStar] You fight with everyone.
[DeathStar] I regret and make it known that we don't have Hika and X1 here today, but I suppose the show must go on.
* Garland smacks Slasher
* Slasher cries
[DeathStar] The RPG will feel their disappearance this session
[DeathStar] Well, lets begin
[Slasher] .....It's all of Sera's fault that we fought damnt!
[Garland] .... Yeah, it is.
[Dias] PRAISE THE LORD!
[Dias] HALLEJUAH!
[DeathStar] I even regret Jon not being here today.
[Slasher] I don't!
[Slasher] Wait yes I do...
[DeathStar] Lets begin or we'll be here until 3 in the morning
[DeathStar] Ready, people?
[Slasher] I do like seeing some peple die...

[DeathStar] Session 178: The End
[DeathStar] Time Chart: 1 day after Mini-Session, Noon.
[DeathStar] Location: Dom's Ship, Near Sol System
* DeathStar sits on the bridge, troubled. So far Xevil has not yet made his move...
* Snipe leans back on the bridge, also, a hang over in place.
* Dias lays asleep in Eve's bed
* Eve` is snuggled up to Dias.
* Hotaru-chan sits on the bridge.
* Garland stands in the hangar, arms crossed.
[DeathStar] Chip: Dominator, we have an incoming message from the Tsivrixsh homeplanet, highest level of importance.
* Slasher lies asleep on the bridge in his boxers
* Dominator emerges on the bridge just as chip says that
* Dominator moves to the main bridge
[Dominator] Let's here it then
[Dominator] (hear)
* Dominator still looks tired, but is looking better since he got some rest
[DeathStar] Chip: Putting Xrileshr on the screen.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *follows Dom onto the bridge*
* Slasher is sitting in a com chair wearing only his boxers, asleep
[DeathStar] ...Xrileshr.
* DeathStar nods.
* Dias stirs and rubs his eyes looking around
[Dominator] Xrileshr: *appears on the screen* Greetings, Dominator, Death Star... Hunters
*** Xrileshr has joined #taw
* Dias turns his head back and looks at Eve
* Eve` sleeps.
[Dominator] Hello, Xrileshr. 
[DeathStar] What do we owe the honor, Xrileshr?
[Xrileshr] I'm afraid... I have something very important to tell you all
[Xrileshr] This information concerns all your safeties and that of the Earth
* Slasher wakes up and stands infront of the viewscreen
* DeathStar crosses arms, frowning.
* Slasher stretches out and looks at Xrileshr
[Dominator] ...Go on.
[Xrileshr] I know what Xevil is doing.
[Dias] *whispers* Eve...
* Eve` opens her eyes.
[Eve`] Mmm?
* Dominator nods, expecting this might happen
[DeathStar] ...what is it?
[Dominator] Please, continue.
[Dias] It's noon...
[Xrileshr] Before he died, the emperor stole a hybrid Planet Killer infused with Motenk technology
[Slasher] .....*stirs wide awake*
* Snipe tightens his grip on the armgrip of a chair
[Xrileshr] It has now been stolen again and I've received reports that it's heading in the direction of Earth
[Snipe] That thing that threatened Earth 27 years ago ... infused with Motenk technology?!
[DeathStar] ...Xevil.  He's got another Planet Killer....?
* Dominator lowers head
* Eve` sits up.
[Xrileshr] I'm sorry to be the bearer of such news... but...
[Xrileshr] Things are still chaotic here
[Slasher] What have your people done to stop him?
[DeathStar] We understand.
[Slasher] ....I see...
[Dominator] Yes...
[DeathStar] Chip, fastest speed for Sol as soon as this transmission ends.
[Dominator] It's all fitting into place now...
* Slasher reaches behind a com station and grabs some clothes, quickly dressing himself
[Snipe] He's going to destroy Earth and knows we'll go there...it's a trap.
[Xrileshr] I would offer you help, but realistically... I have too few ships to handle matters even here... And nothing that could reach you in time
[Dias] *kisses her on the lips* We should get dressed..
* Eve` nods, putting on a shirt.
[Dominator] I understand
* Dias gets up putting on his clothes
[Slasher] Dom, what about Earth's Planetary forces?
* Garland enters the bridge
[Garland] Xevils making his move, I take it.
[DeathStar] And playing a trump card.
[Dominator] Our forces are... totally vulnerable
[Garland] What is it?
[Dominator] We lost the prime of our fleet in the recent battle
[DeathStar] A Planet Killer infused with Ancient technology.
[Dominator] How long, Xrileshr?
[Xrileshr] ...Our best estimates say that the ship will arrive in approximately 20 minutes.
[DeathStar] Chip, our time to reach the Sol system?
[DeathStar] Chip: 20 minutes, roughly.
[Slasher] Send a msg to them, telling them to begin evacuation...
[Dominator] And we have no planetary forces on earth... nothing that can arrive... but us
[Garland] Hrm...
[DeathStar] I'm sorry to say goodbye so fast, Xrileshr, but we must jump to hyperspace now.
[Xrileshr] I understand. Good luck to you, Hunters.
[Xrileshr] Good luck to us all.
[Garland] I can only wonder why Xevil is so fixated on Earth... *narrows his eyes*
[Dias] You feel that Eve?
* DeathStar nods
[Dominator] Thank you, Xrileshr.
[Dominator] End transmission.
[DeathStar] GM: *the ship leaps into hyperspace*
[Slasher] We're the only one's that's probably undone something that he did..
[DeathStar] ...it's a trap, like Snipe said.
* Xrileshr disappears
[Slasher] Revenge...a last lowblow before we die.
*** Xrileshr has quit IRC (Quit: )
[Slasher] The Planet Killer might not even be operation...
[DeathStar] But the thing is we can't beat a Planet Killer, not with this ship.  We'll have to do the same tactic we did 27 years ago.
[Hotaru-chan] ... What's that?
[Garland] Blow it up from the inside.
[DeathStar] ...and we lost Darien last time we did such a thing
[Dias] ..*looks around* Feel's like we just entered hyperspace...
[Dias] Chip...what's going on?
[Eve`] Yeah, we did.
[Dominator] One that almost got us all killed... and did kill a few...
[Eve`] Something is up.
[Hotaru-chan] ...
* Dominator remembers Darien
[Eve`] Chip: We're heading to Earth to stop Xevil and his Planet Killer.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] If it comes down to a sacrifice...
* Snipe leans back
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] maybe I should volunteer.
[DeathStar] I'm just wondering if I can fly a damn shuttle into a Planet Killer again.  Last time I almost failed.
* Dias pauses
[Dias] ....What?
[Slasher] This time your better..
[Eve`] Chip: A Planet Killer infused with Motenk technology.  A hybred.
[DeathStar] Hianule: I'll go!
[DeathStar] You should stay here, Hianule.  This is a bit dangerous.
* Garland looks at Hianule
[Dominator] Chip, go to Red Alert. General quarters.
[Dias] .....Ahh shit...
[DeathStar] GM: *red alert sounds*
* Dias quickly begins dressing faster
[Dominator] Now it's time for the dance... *sits back in his chair*
[Dominator] I'm not sure a shuttle will work this time. Xevil will expect it
* Eve` puts on her flight suit, tugging it up to her neck.
[DeathStar] Probably will.
* Slasher unless he wants us to get on
[DeathStar] But how else can we get on the Planet Killer?
[Slasher] Unless he wants us to get on
* Dias tosses his hooded sweatshirt over his chest
[DeathStar] Hianule: I'm strong enough, dammit.  Quit treating me like I'm fragile.
[Dias] Let's go love..
[Eve`] Right.
* Eve` heads for the bridge.
* DeathStar frowns, glancing at Garland, then back at Hianule.
* Slasher put's Hianule in a headlock
* Garland throws Hianule against the wall.
* Dias follows behind her
[DeathStar] Hianule: OUF!
* Garland holds him there, looking at him
[Garland] I'm going to tell you this, and I'm only going to tell you this once.
* DeathStar finds it weird watching two Garlands face off.
* Slasher watches
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] O.o
[Slasher] This is kind funny..
[Slasher] It's like Garland's bitching at himself.
[Hotaru-chan] ... .oO(I am NOT agreeing with Slasher)
* Snipe is lost in thought
* Eve` arrives on the bridge.
[Garland] I'm going. You're cannon fodder if you go. If I die out there, who's going to take care of Sharlena? You.
[Garland] If we both die, she's alone.
[Garland] Got it?
[DeathStar] Hianule: ... Got it.
[Garland] You're staying.
[Slasher] I could take...care of her..*raises his hand*
* DeathStar whaps Slasher.
[Hotaru-chan] NO WAY
[Slasher] Ouch...*cries*
[Garland] Also, if I die, and he survies, kill Slasher.
* Garland lets go.
* Slasher smiles
[Slasher] That's my Garland!
[DeathStar] Okay, we need to get a taskforce going.  Who all is going?
[Snipe] Me.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm going.
[Slasher] Gee...I sure hope everyone's told everyone how they feel about everything...cuz no would be a good time...*eyes Hotaru*
[Slasher] NRP: no=now
[Hotaru-chan] Slasher... he knows...
[Garland] I'm gonna wreck some hell.
[Dominator] I'll come
[Slasher] .....*frowns* DAMN YOU!
[Garland] I'm in for sure.
[Slasher] I am.
[Hotaru-chan] You do remember last night, don't you?
* Dias comes running in behind Eve
* Snipe nods.
* Eve` thinks.
[Dias] Count...*looks at Eve*
* Hotaru-chan hugs Snipe tight
[Eve`] If you're ALL going, I'll stay here with Hinaule.
[Dias] Your gonna stay then Eve?
* Eve` nods.
[Eve`] You need someone waiting on you when you come back.
[DeathStar] Chip: 5 minutes.
* Slasher looks at Snipe and does a subtle pelvic thrust and points at Hotaru
* Snipe glares, then heads for the hanger.
[Dominator] *turns toward DS* We may need to distract Xevil. We could use this ship as a division. If all our crew abandoned it, the auto-pilot could buy us some time
[Snipe] I'll prep the shuttle.
[Dias] As long as you set all my bones straight.
* Slasher smiles at Snipe
[Eve`] Leave that up to me, Dominator.  I'll distract good ol' Xevil.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *heads for the hangar too*
[Dominator] And we ought to launch all our shuttles.
* Hotaru-chan heads over to the hangar, a little worried.
[Eve`] Hianule: I'll get on that.
* DeathStar runs down to the hanger.
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: There'd better not be an "Everyone dies" ending to this too... @.@
* Garland follows DS
[Dominator] We can use the other 10 to distract Xevil. The eleventh we'll need to evacute the crew. The tenth is for the task force
[Slasher] Eve, tell Cheryl I love her..*runs down to the hanger*
* Dominator turns to Eve
[Eve`] Right
[Dominator] Good luck, Eve.
* Dias begins running down
[Eve`] You too, Dom.
* Snipe gets in the shuttle, talking co-pilot. He preps up the shuttle.
[Dominator] Do whatever you need to to take this thing done
* DeathStar hops in the pilot seat.
[Hotaru-chan] I have a bad feeling about this...
* Eve` nods.
* Dominator salutes to her and runs to the hangar
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *gets into the shuttle*
* DeathStar begins to prep things up.
[Hotaru-chan] Do you think I should go...?
* Snipe looks at Hotaru, then nods
[Snipe] Sure.
* Dominator gets into the shuttle and sits at the weapon consol
* Hotaru-chan gets in
[DeathStar] Everything's almost ready.
* Dias slips into the shuttle
* Slasher walks up onto the shuttle he glances at DS and sits down
[DeathStar] Chip: We're ... there.  *they fall out of hyperspace.  In front of them, stretching for miles and miles .... is the gigantic Planet Killer, with the globe up top and everything.  He flies towards Jupiter, strangely
[DeathStar] NRP: *plays TAw - Final Countdown*
[Hotaru-chan] I really hope we aren't all in there when it blows up...
* Dominator glances at Rune Sword in its sheath
[Dominator] I hope I haven't forgotten how to use this...
* DeathStar flies the shuttle out of the hanger. Ten others launch at the same time.
[Slasher] Our old home's somewhere down there...vaporized.
[Garland] Ever find that last crystal, Dom?
[Slasher] Trip down memory lane..
* Eve` directs the Alliance Ship's away from the shuttles.
[Dominator] Jupiter...
[DeathStar] Why Jupiter...?
* DeathStar flies at the Planet Killer.
* Dominator nods to Garland
[Slasher] NRP: Slasher: Of course he hasn't, but I DID!!
* Snipe straps in.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] Big gaseous planet... I'm not sure.
[Dominator] I did, near the end of combat duty. The sword's ready....
[Garland] Good, we're gonna need all the omni-present power we can get...
[Hotaru-chan] Omni-present? O.o
[Dominator] Because our station once orbitted it? Who can say with Xevil... Right now he has the liberty to destroy the entire solar system if he wishes
* DeathStar flies at the PK. Thousands of cannons appear on the side, opening fire.
* Garland gllances at Hotaru
[DeathStar] Shti!
[Slasher] ....I'm surprised he's firing at us at all..
* DeathStar attempts to dodge the lasers, rocking everyone.
[DeathStar] *all the other ten shuttles explode instantly*
*** Eve` is now known as GameMaster`
[GameMaster`] *the Alliance Ship draws hundreds of cannon's fire*
* Garland notes they're the last shuttle
* DeathStar swings around some blasts, sweating.
[DeathStar] Hang on.
* DeathStar hits the boosters.
[GameMaster`] *the shuttle goes flying at full speed straight a wall of cannon fire*
[Dominator] ...*winces*
[Hotaru-chan] This does *SO* not look good.
* DeathStar spins the shuttle out of the way, several blasts hitting the side.
[Dias] So Snipe, you get laid before this mighty battle?
* DeathStar flies along the side of the PK, the cannon fire trying to lock onto him.
[Snipe] ...no.
* Dominator lays cover fire
[Garland] Told you he's most likely to die a "virgin", Slasher.
* DeathStar looks for the pocket they used last time, sees it, and flies inside, the area becoming much more narrow. They are out of cannon fire now.
[DeathStar] Hang on...
[Slasher] ...Damnt! *hands Garland 100 gil*
* Dominator fires energy pulses, hoping the interference will help cover them
* DeathStar grits his teeth, the booster controls broken it seems as DS speeds along the narrow passage, which spins around in all directions.
[Garland] Damn right. *pockets it*
[Dias] *sniffs Snipe* You reek of sex...
* Dominator stops firing
* Snipe looks away is disdain
[Slasher] Damnt Slasher! I was so counting on you!
[Hotaru-chan] Snipe is NOT going to die.
[DeathStar] NRP: *plays the TGC - Open Assault*
[Slasher] I sure hope not.
[DeathStar] ...I'm getting an energy reading in here.
[Snipe] Same here.
[Snipe] ...it's....a gigantic cannon we're heading for...?
* Dias looks around
* DeathStar looks straight up, seeing the glowing light of a cannon.
[DeathStar] Fuck.
[Slasher] We going to head down it's barrel?
[DeathStar] ...seems that way.  The door is located right there.
[Hotaru-chan] Are you crazy?
[Dias] Snipe, think you can cancel it's energy?
* DeathStar hits the throttle completely forward.
[DeathStar] Hang on.
[Dominator] It's part of the job description, Hotaru.
[Snipe] No way in hell, it's too big.
* DeathStar flies at the cannon.
* Dominator grabs the consol to steady himself
[DeathStar] Everyone, to the door!
* DeathStar poitns at the shuttle door.
[DeathStar] Get ready to jump out.
* Dias slides over to the shuttle door
* Dominator pumps all weapon power to the engines
* Hotaru-chan heads to the shuttle door quickly.
* Dominator gets up, straps out, and heads to the door
* Slasher steps upto the shuttle door
[GameMaster`] *the cannon reaches it's max charge*
* Dominator puts his hand on Hotaru's shoulder
* Slasher leaps out the door
[Slasher] NRP: EH scratch that
* Snipe moves to the door, opening it. He almosts get sucked out.
[DeathStar] On the count of 5, jump.

[Snipe] God, Garland and DS!

[Dominator] ...!
[Dias] Find me an access panel..
* Snipe steps back from the extreme heat of the cannon blast - which slowly vanishes.
[GameMaster`] *the intercomm crackles*
[GameMaster`] Xevil: You enjoy my little show?
* Dominator scans the area
[Hotaru-chan] I hate to agree with Slasher, but he's right
[Dominator] We were enthralled, Xevil. *his voice is icy cold*
[Slasher] Do we get dinner too?
* Garland appears behind Snipe
[GameMaster`] Xevil: Lovely.  Well, since you were so kind as to arrive, then I'll be sure to show you a lovely time.
* DeathStar steps out behind Garland.
[Garland] .. You're really worried about us, huh?
[Slasher] Strippers you say?
[Dominator] Hoping to succeed where the Elder failed?
[Snipe] Of course.
[Garland] Glad to hear it.
[GameMaster`] Xevil: He was a fool.  Even the name "The Elder" was foolish.  
[Dominator] *turns to DS and Garland* Glad to see you made it.
[DeathStar] ...Xevil.
[Slasher] So is Xevil...I mean come on, Evil? With an X infront of it?
[Snipe] When I find you, Xevil, I will KILL you!
[Dominator] If you'd care to join us, Xevil, you know where to find us.
[Dias] ......*looks around trying to find an access panel*
[GameMaster`] Xevil: I'm amused, Slasher.  Well, if you remember anything about the last Planet Killer, you should easily find your way to me.
[GameMaster`] *none present currently*
[GameMaster`] *the intercomm. turns off*
[Slasher] ....Shame I don't..
* Garland turns to the others
[DeathStar] Is he going to be where he was last time or where the Elder was last time ...?
* Dominator winces and rubs his leg
[Snipe] Who cares.  Lets just FIND him.
[Garland] So, what's the game plan, or are we going to play his deadly game?
[Dominator] *mutters* Take two...
[Dias] Calm down Snipe.
[DeathStar] We're running low on time.  We're almost to Jupiter.

[Dominator] Damn.
* DeathStar runs after Slasher and Snipe.
[Dominator] In Diamondback's as well.
* Snipe has almost reached the point in the dream.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *runs after DS*
[Dominator] Death Star... Wait!
[Dominator] Snipe!
* DeathStar stops and looks back
[DeathStar] Yes?
* Snipe stops again
[Snipe] What?
* Slasher slides to a halt
[Slasher] Why are you guys stopping?
[Dominator] Don't move on any further
[DeathStar] Dom wants something
[DeathStar] Why not?
[Slasher] ....Ok...
* Snipe looks around as he waits, then notes a thin line across the hallway in the dark.
[Dominator] Both Diamondback and Hotaru have had dreams... visions of the entire team being killed
[Snipe] What the hell...?
[Dominator] At the end of this hall
* Snipe bends down, studying it.
[Dominator] We need to fall back
[Slasher] What you see Snipe?
[Snipe] Some type of cord.
[Hotaru-chan] A tripwire...
[Slasher] ....*bends down and looks at it*
[Hotaru-chan] So that's what set it off...
[Snipe] ..y.eah, that looks like it.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *takes a look too*
* DeathStar frowns
[DeathStar] Good job, Hotaru and Dom.
* Dominator moves toward it
[Garland] You'd think after all this time Xevil would be a little more direct...
[DeathStar] We would have walked nito that.
[Slasher] Why would he use a trip wire tho?
[Dominator] Ues/// O
[Dominator] NRP: Ack. Typed a row over...
[Dominator] Yes... but that's the only dream we have to go on
* Snipe flips over the tripwire and reaches the end of the hallway.
[Hotaru-chan] We'll just have to be careful...
[Slasher] Alrigt...*steps over the tripwire*
* DeathStar leaps over.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *steps over the tripwire*
* Dominator does likewise
* Dias runs down the hallway and leaps over the tripwire
* Hotaru-chan carefully steps over the tripwire, still worried.
[GameMaster`] *Xevil is seen at the end of the hallway.  He turns and fades away into the blackness of it*
[Snipe] XEVIL!
* Snipe runs after him
[Hotaru-chan] Don't run!
[Slasher] Snipe, becareful
[Dominator] He's bating you, Snipe!
* Snipe vanishes into the darkness after xevil.
[DeathStar] ...dammit, I knew this was going to end bad.
* Slasher shakes his head
* Garland looks around slowly
* Dias tries to scan for Snipe
[DeathStar] Do we go after the fool or what?
* Snipe is somewhere up ahead.
[Dias] He's still upthere.
* Dias begins walking ahead, keeping an eye out for any tripwires
* Dominator glances toward the other route
* DeathStar follows Dom's gaze.
[DeathStar] Hard to say which one to go.
[Dominator] Xevil could be bating us to go either way.
[Dominator] And most likely prepared both
[Dominator] We need to stay together whatever the case
[GameMaster`] *psioncally* Xevil: Scared, children?
[DeathStar] Then we follow Dias and Snipe.
* DeathStar jogs after them.
* Dias ignores the Xevil's voice in his head
* Dominator heads after them
[Hotaru-chan] If we split up, we can't get trapped, but he'll likely pick us off one by one... so we'd best follow Snipe.
* Hotaru-chan does that, being careful to look for tripwires.
* Slasher begins running forward, keeping an eye out for tripwires
* Garland follows cautiously
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *follows the group*
* Snipe arrives in a huge area that seems to extend miles downward. If one falls ... and is certain doom, as energy waves zap below. In the center, where Snipe stands, is a round platform, that extends to a door on the other side.
[GameMaster`] *a 10 foot shadow can be seen on the opposite door, looking like a Tsivrixsh perhaps...?  Xevil, could it be?*
* Snipe stands there, frowning.
[Snipe] Come out!
* Dias keeps a lock on Snipe and continues running forward
* Dominator gets to the beginning of the room
* DeathStar arrives in the platform area behind Snipe.
* Dias slides behind DS
[Hotaru-chan] I don't like this...
[Dias] NRP: *infront of him I'm guessing*
[GameMaster`] *the shadow begins to walk forward toward them.  It goes from 10 feet to 8 feet*
* Dias begins scanning the shadow
[Dominator] He's chosen the battlefield...
[GameMaster`] *from 8 to 6*
* Dominator gribs his sword tightly
* Slasher slides behind the others
[Garland] NRP: Shadow: *is a shadow*
* DeathStar pulls out his saber,.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *moves to the front of the group, readying herself*
[GameMaster`] *from 6 to 4*'
[Dias] It's only 6 ft tall...
[DeathStar] What in the hell...?
[Dias] 4...That's not him....Back up guys...
[GameMaster`] *from 4 to 2*
* Garland places his hand on the hilt of his sword.
[Snipe] Dammit ...
[Garland] Unless he's very short now...
* Dias scans for any wierd energy signatures

[Slasher] ....A squirrel?
* Squirrel pulls out a saber.
[Hotaru-chan] What?

[Garland] ..... Hey Squirrel!
[Squirrel] Chitter?
* Slasher continues charging up
* Dominator fires a semi-circle of Thunder Bolt energy at the squirrel
[Garland] Um... Xevil said you stink. You gonna take that from him?
* Squirrel leaps back.
* DeathStar runs at the squirrel, slashing. The squirrel parries, then slashes DS' leg.
[DeathStar] OW!
* DeathStar flips back.
* Snipe kicks the squirrel up in the air. The squirrel vanishes.
[Garland] NRP: I'm reminded of the SkullChewer or whatever it was from FFVII, a silver squirrel.
* Squirrel appears behind Snipe and hits him in the leg.

[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Oh yeah.
[Snipe] GAH!~

* Snipe falls forward.
* Squirrel flips around and parries barely in time.
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: SkullEater, I think
[Squirrel] Chitter.
* Slasher puts his hands out from his sides and fires off two chi balls that circle around the room and curve back in from the side towards the squirrel
[Garland] Well, I thought the squirrel was stupid, but oh well.
* DeathStar slashes at the squirrel from behind.
[Slasher] NRP: I'm reminded of yoda
* Dominator blasts Thunder Bolt at point blank range
* Squirrel is hit by all the attacks.
[Garland] NRP: That's what I wanted to say, but I wasn't sure.
* Squirrel bounces towards the edge.
[Squirrel] You will all perish!!!  Chitter.
* Dominator is pushed back by the force of the attack
* Garland stomps on the squirrel
* Dias kicks at the squirrel
* Squirrel is stomped, but bites Garland, dealing 3000 damage.
* Squirrel is kicked.
[Hotaru-chan] I... don't know what to say...
* Squirrel slides back.
* Dominator leaps back
* Snipe punches the squirrel at Garland
[Snipe] Catch.
* Slasher fires another charged chi blast infront of the squirrel
[Garland] SON OF A BITCH! MY TOE! *punts the squirrel*
* Squirrel gets hit by both Slasher and Garland, flying up in the air.
[Slasher] BATTERS UP!!
* DeathStar leaps up and bats it with his saber.
* Dominator blasts at the flying squirrel after DS hits it

[Hotaru-chan] NRP: [GM] * Squirrel explodes, everyone dies

[DeathStar] ...I guess Xevil recruited it.

* Snipe looks at DS.
[Snipe] Lets move it.
[DeathStar] But Garalnd is outside sniffing.
[Hotaru-chan] Everyone in?
* DeathStar looks out the window.

[Dias] What the hell was that all about?
* Dominator grabs onto whatever he can
[Dominator] Xevil's giving us an encoure presentation of our last meeting in a PLanet Killer
* DeathStar gets the shuttle under control. Currently they are inside the giant globe area, only with a thin layer of hull surrounding them now as most is gone.
[Dominator] A squirrel instead of a shadow... A lone shuttle...
[Garland] I have to admit, Xevil must be pretty confident to blow up a planet killer just to show off...
* DeathStar points at the planet below
[DeathStar] If you recall...that is the real danger.
[Slasher] He's trying to recreate what all happened before.
[Snipe] A planet?  How the hell is a planet inside a globe a danger?
[Hotaru-chan] Why would he do that?
[Dominator] Death Star's right. The rest is... just a shell
* DeathStar flies the planet to the planet, frowning
[DeathStar] Why is he recreating everything ....
[Slasher] Snipe, think huge mass...think two huge masse's colliding.
[Slasher] Maybe he's scentimental.
[Snipe] But it's only a one shot thing.  Why waste it on Jupiter, then?
[Dominator] To beat us this time. To succeed where his old masters failed
[DeathStar] ...you guys are overlooking something.
[Garland] And where he's failed times before.
[Hotaru-chan] What?
* Garland looks at DS
[Dominator] What?
[Slasher] ....*looks at DS*
[DeathStar] ...this isn't an exact replica of the planet killer before.  Sure, the previous had only one shot.  This one is infused with Motenk technology.  I haven't seen any so far, so it must be on THAT planet below.
[Dominator] Death Star's right. We have no real idea what damage this planet killer can do
[Slasher] And I've only seen...probably 1/10 of a percent of what they're stuff can do.
[Slasher] If it can bring back life, I can only imagine.
[GameMaster`] *suddenly a lightning bolt leaps up from the planet and hits the shuttle, blowing out one wing and an engine*
* Snipe grips the side
[Dominator] Let's hope the technology is wa-... Oof!
[Snipe] We're going down!
[Garland] Well, that's a bad sign.
* DeathStar grips the controls
[DeathStar] HANG ON!
[Dominator] Can you stablize it? *to DS*
[DeathStar] He's even mimicing the damn crash landing
* DeathStar shakes his head.
* Dominator hangs on!
[Slasher] Ahh shit......Kill the engine and try to restart it.
* Dias holds on tight
[Hotaru-chan] What else happened?
[GameMaster`] *the shuttle plummets to the planet, shaking*
[DeathStar] We beat Crucifixtion, then the Elder, then we blew the damn thing up.
* DeathStar crashlands, the shuttle slamming sideways and flipping over.
[DeathStar] ...ow.
* DeathStar hangs upside down
* Slasher is thrown around a little
[Hotaru-chan] That means he'll be bringing in at least one more goon...
* Slasher lies on the top of the shuttle which is the bottom
[Slasher] ....Only question is...are we taking on Crux and the Elder or some replacements..
[Hotaru-chan] @.@
[GameMaster`] *they have landed on a nice field of grass.  Nearby is a base, similiar to the one where Xevil first turned into Doom
* DeathStar unstraps himself and hits the roof, which is the bottom
[Slasher] ......This is way...way too freaky.
* Dominator kicks the shuttle door to open it
[Hotaru-chan] And... Xevil turned into Doom last time, right?
* Snipe flips over and walks out.
[DeathStar] Not on the Planet Killer.
* Dias unstraps and flips himself and lands upright on the roof, he than walks outside(

* Slasher steps outside
* DeathStar walks out, his feet crunching on the grass.

* Snipe looks around.
[Slasher] .....Grass..*looks down*
[Garland] Xevil is a bit too infactuated with Doom...
[Snipe] Well, I'm guessing he's in the base.
[Slasher] Star...
[Dominator] And we let him go after he gave us information...
[DeathStar] Yeah?
* Dominator exists and looks around
[Slasher] ...Grass...

* DeathStar pauses
[DeathStar] Didn't we discuss this last time we were on a PK, too?
[Dominator] ...I think we did.

[Slasher] Or make sure none of us fall into it.
[Hotaru-chan] I don't want to see what'd happen if Kyouki did...

* Xevil leans against the wall, flinching in pain
* Garland charges a blast in his hand

[Xevil] If I do not tell you, you will doom this system and all the neighboringo nes.
[DeathStar] ....
[Dominator] A deal... once more...
[Slasher] Heal him Dom...*stands up and begins walking over to Xevil*
[Garland] Death Star, we've heard this shit before. He'll just heal up and come back.
[Slasher] Tell us now...
[Hotaru-chan] Fine... but when this is over... it's over... no more vengeance.
* Slasher looks at Garland
[Xevil] Excatly.  You must promise, Death Star, I walk away from here, alive, and you will kill anyone of your men if they kill me before I leave.  Is it a deal?
[DeathStar] ...
* DeathStar frowns.
[Xevil] Time is short...Death Star.
[Snipe] Don't do it, DS1
* Dominator uses healing energy from his sword on Dias, that much more leaving Dominator, as his armor slowly dims
[Slasher] DS...His life is meanigless when it comes to this solar system

[Garland] That's okay, I'm not one of DS's men. I'm here on my own accord. *narrows his eyes*
* Dias eyes flutter open
[Dias] ...What the helll hit me]

* Garland gives a cold glare
[Garland] I don't.

[Xevil] I will beep that when I am safely gone.  If that does not beep, I am dead and you will have to keep your word, Death Star.
* Slasher begins charging up his chi
[Dominator] Garland, we can't sacrifice the Earth and surrounding worlds
[Garland] If we let him live we risk sacrificing much more than that.
[Slasher] No Xevil...You don't leave till this things shut down!
[Xevil] ...as to stop this Planet Killer, you must travel to the core of the planet.  There, you will find an energy wave that channels the Ancient power.  One of you must touch it and fuse with the power to stop it from doing it's shockwave.  However...
[Garland] You said your life, not your freedom. You go nowhere.
* Xevil ignores Garland.
* Dominator puts a hand of Garland's shoulder to steady him
[Xevil] My freedom or I don't tell you the catch involved.
* Garland ignores Dom
[DeathStar] Fine.  Tell us.  Now.

[Slasher] OR how bout we drag your sorry ass to it and through you in there?
[Dominator] We'll face him no matter how many times it takes, Garland
* Slasher holds his chi charge
[Xevil] Whoever touches it will be consumed by the energy and will become a tool of the Ancients.  They will be given supreme power --- and their only purpose will be to annihilate the solar system.  You will have to kill whoever touches the energy wave.
[DeathStar] ....
[Slasher] OR maybe we won't through you in there...
[Garland] It's amazing how these ancients make tools of death and destruction.
* Dominator his armor continues to dim and return to its normal black color; the outside of the armor has melted into a sticky goo
[Slasher] ...So why haven't you went in there?
[Xevil] I would have, but I thought I could win with my power as Doom.
[Slasher] Hate being a tool?
* Xevil glares at Slasher, then moves past the team.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
[Xevil] We will meet again, one day, Hunters.
[Slasher] You know, we can kill you now.
[Xevil] But then DS would kill you.
[Xevil] Ironic, no?

* DeathStar picks up Xevil's device and nods at a door on the side

[Slasher] I'm not surprised about the cost...
* Slasher looks at Star
[Snipe] .....maybe I should.
[Hotaru-chan] I'm starting to hate these ancients...
[Hotaru-chan] NO!
[Garland] Cant we just blow it up?
* Slasher walks upt to Star and whispers into his ear
[Dominator] Whatever happens, we cannot let the solar system be destroyed. *coughs, reploid-blood drizzling from his mouth; rubs it away* We cannot.
[Snipe] Doubt it.  Ancients never play fair.
[Dias] No, if we do it'll release it

[Diamondback] [Freewind] *stares off into the distance, remotely*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *stares into the distance too*
* Dominator his tattered armor has been supplemented with an Alliance uniform
[Slasher] ......*looks at the piece of armor that he grabbed from DS*
* Dominator stars off into the sky from under the shade of the tree
* Dias puts his arm around Eve
* Hianule picks up Sharlena and sets her on his shoulder
* Garland is on a far hill, a cloak whipping in the wind
[Hianule] So  ... what are you all going to do now that it's finally over?
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] ... I'm not sure...
[Eve`] Get married and have kids like Spirit and Ripple.
* Hotaru-chan grins at that.
[Diamondback] [...I don't really know... if my records are still on file, I'll go back and finish high school. I was just a senior, you know.]
* Snipe leans back.
[Snipe] I'm going to build me my own house from scratch and retire away from the populations.
[Dias] ....*looks at Eve and smiles* Infact....We'd appreciate it if you'd come to our official wedding day.
* Diamondback raises an eyebrow
[Snipe] Just being at peace.  Thoguh I got to wonder --- who will become the new President of Earth.
[Diamondback] [Snipe, did you bump your head during that battle?]
[Slasher] ....*raises his hand* I thought I'd be it..
[Hotaru-chan] I like John's idea...
[Snipe] No.  This has been my wish for so long now, Chris.
[Eve`] You think the people of Earth would vote for you, Slasher?
[Diamondback] [Heh, I was kidding, anyway.]
[Slasher] ....Why wouldn't they?
[Hotaru-chan] ... why do you think?
* Dominator rests against the tree
* Hianule looks over at the other Garland, by himself.
[Diamondback] [Yep, it's back to school for me... I've got a little catching up to do. Maybe I'll do some research into the enhanced...]
[Hianule] He's missing DS, I think.  And plotting how to get Xevil.
* Diamondback rolls over and props his head on his hands, still floating
[Slasher] Chris, any information you find I'ld be honored if you sent to me.
* Hianule sends Sharlena over to Garland.
[Dominator] So many battles...
* Dominator smiles
[Dominator] But they were all worth it...
[Hotaru-chan] *to Snipe* [Damn, I'm not sure what the general population'll think about you being with both me and Emily...]
* Snipe shrugs
[Slasher] Ariel and Kat aren't taking it well...
[Snipe] They'll only wish they were living it like us.  Each day like a paradise.
* Dominator pulls an apple from the tree and takes a bite out of it
[Diamondback] [I'll be sure to, Slasher...]
* Hotaru-chan laughs
* Garland is seen placing his hand on Sharlena's head and messing up her hair, talking to her for a moment and then sending her back to Hianule.
* Snipe looks towards the direction of Jupiter.
[Snipe] I can't understand why he did it.
[Diamondback] *smirks* [That is, if I have time to figure anything out. I do have a family now...] *sighs*
* Dominator looks up at Garland in the distance
[Slasher] You wanna know why he did it Snipe?
* Dominator is lost in memory
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *is lost in thought*
[Snipe] I mean, I know why I would do it --- but he had Kat and Ariel.
[Slasher] ....It's because....He was already dead...
[Slasher] The poison finished him off..
[Snipe] ...Already dead?
[Hotaru-chan] And you have me and Emily...
* Snipe smiles softly, hugging Hotaru
* Hotaru-chan hugs back
[Slasher] ...Something else was holding him back to this plane of existence...It was only time before the bond was gone and...he died again..
[Hianule] Hm.  I like to think that BJ and him and all the others are having adventures somewhere.
[Hianule] In the great beyond.
* Dias looks at Snipe and Hotaru
* Garland contnues to stare at the horizon
[Dias] ...Think they'll last?
[Eve`] NRP:  DS:  BJ!!  You're out, dammit!  PLay fair!
[Eve`] Hard to say.  You know how Snipe is.
[Dias] Yeah...I think he's settled down tho.
* Dominator quiet under the tree
[Hotaru-chan] .oO(He'd better not be doing any more dying...)
[Eve`] NRP: Dominator, Garland, Ariel, Slasher, and Cheryl are all that remains of the old team.
[Dominator] NRP: Wow. It's true too
* Hianule walks up beside Garland.
[Slasher] A salute to Death Star..*salutes out towards Jupiter*
[Hianule] So ... what now?
* Hotaru-chan salutes to Jupiter
* Garland glances at Hianule
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] I'm... going to search for myself...
[Garland] You... take care of your daughter.
* Hianule looks at him, then nods slowly.
* Dias twirls Eve and dips her, kissing her
* Dominator watches Hianule move towards Garland, both looking like the boy he raised; the boy who was Death Star's closest friend
[Hianule] I think I'll stay here and raise her.
[Garland] ...... I don't know who the clone is, Hianule.
[Garland] Nor do I care...
* Hotaru-chan smiles.
* Hianule nods.
* Dominator runs his hand along the side of the tree
[Garland] You're more Garland than I ever was, and that's why you should raise her.
* Slasher looks at Snipe
[Slasher] Aren't you gonna kiss her Snipe?!
[Snipe] Uh...
[Snipe] Geeze, do you have to put me on the spot?
* Slasher points to Eve and Dias kissing
* Garland glances back at them all
* Hianule looks over his shoulder.
[Hianule] I feel like I don't know what to say to then, either, you know.
[Hianule] *them
[Eve`] GM: *a shuttle lands nearby, Alliance personnel come out*
[Garland] Just do what comes naturally... you'll get along with them all fine.
[Eve`] Alliance Personnel: President Dominator!  Thank God you're alright.
* Hianule places one hand on his shoulder.
[Hianule] See you around, Garland Hianule.
[Dominator] *quietly to himself* It's been 96 years since I walked through the fields in Dr. Namar, my father's retreat...
[Hotaru-chan] President Dominator?
* Garland nods... "Take care of m....your daughter.
* Dominator looking up toward the Alliance Personnel
[Hianule] Our daughter.
[Dominator] Yes, I'm fine... *coughs, but then smiles* Really.
* Garland looks at Hianule for a moment.
* Hotaru-chan can't help giggling at Garland and Hianule.
[Slasher] Well Snipe?
[Garland] Go.
* Dias releases his kiss from Eve
* Hianule nods, moves over, picks up Sharlena, then walks off into the distance.
* Hotaru-chan looks over at Dias and Eve.
[Hotaru-chan] I think it's our turn.
[Dominator] Well, Hotaru... It's seems that since I survived, I'm the President of the Alliance
* Garland looks back at the horizon
[Slasher] I can give you guys pointers and tips?
[Eve`] Alliance Personnel: We came to make sure you made it back to the rest of the Alliance counsel.  We're getting permission on where to build the Alliance HQ*
[Hotaru-chan] Tips from you, Slasher?
[Snipe] Ugh, no.
* Snipe touches Hotaru for a moment
[Snipe] I'll be right back.
[Slasher] Me and Cheryl are coming out with a entire 7 volume book on positions and things to do with your love partner
* Snipe walks over to Garland.
[Hotaru-chan] Okay.
[Hotaru-chan] O.o
* Snipe stands next to him, crossing his arms as he stands there silent. A gentle wind blows by.
[Dominator] Right, I'll need to be there... There's still so much work to be done
* Garland looks straight forward
[Eve`] Alliance Personnel: We'll take you there as soon as you're ready, sir.
* Dias looks out at Garland and Snipe
[Dominator] Thank you, I'll let you know. For now, at ease.
* Eve` leans her head on Dias' shoulder.
[Dias] It'll be nice to be able to settle down for once.
* Dominator walks forward
[Eve`] I agree.  With Earth's population so low, we'll have to work hard.
* Dias puts his arm around her waist and pulls her in
* Snipe looks at Garland, then grabs him in a bear hug.
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Dias] I think we'll do fine here...I mean how many people do you know that can lift an entire shuttle by themselves.
* Garland sighs dryly, hurting.
[Garland] So, what are you going to do now, John?
* Slasher looks at Garland and Snipe
* Snipe lets go of the hug, looking straight ahead again.
[Snipe] Retire.  Settle down.  Enjoy life.
* Slasher slowly sneaks up behind the two
[Garland] Sounds great...
* Slasher grabs both of them and hugs them
[Slasher] GROUP HUG!!!
* Dominator walks over to Garland and Slasher
[Snipe] ACK!
* Garland dodges the hug
* Slasher becomes off balance and falls onto his side
[Garland] Don't touch me, Slasher. I know where you've been.
[Slasher] ....What's wrong with Cheryl?
[Hianule] *suddenly a coke machine crashes into the ground*
* Slasher pops up
*** Hianule is now known as GameMaster`
[Garland] Her too? Uncl----*looks at the coke machine*
[Snipe] Whoa!
[Dominator] ...Hrm.
[Slasher] ......That's whack!
[Hotaru-chan] A cool refreshing coke?
[Dominator] Aggressive marketing.
[GameMaster`] *is the same coke machine from the Station, having floated in space for 27 years, then been knocked into the ground by the shockwave of the Planet Killer*
[Dominator] Doesn't look too bad...
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] I wonder how it tastes...
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *gets herself a coke*
[Slasher] ....*puts some gil into the machine
* Garland looks at the machine with an open mouth
[Garland] Wait!
[Slasher] ....*pushes a button*
[GameMaster`] *nothing happens*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] What?
[Slasher] ....*hits the button agian*
* Garland checks the change return.
[GameMaster`] *no change*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] ...
* Dominator rubs the side of the machine
[Slasher] .....Come on!! *hits the pop button again*
[Diamondback] [...You know what to do, Hianule.]
[Dominator] It's amazing it even made it here...
[Hotaru-chan] Isn't it?
* Garland hits the machine
[GameMaster`] *tons of gil quarters pops out, probably all the ones Garland put in as a kid*
* Dominator laughs
[Dominator] Good job, Garland
* Garland picks up one and pockets it.
[Snipe] That's creepy.  
[Garland] *glances at Dom* I told you it ate my quarter.
[Hotaru-chan] ... woah
[Slasher] I WANT MY POP DAMNT!!!
* Slasher hits the machine
[Dominator] I should've believed you.
[GameMaster`] *falls over on Slasher*
* Dias laughs at Slasher
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: AH! The GM fell on Slasher!
* Dominator blinks
[Slasher] ACK!! *twitches undernearth the pop machine*
[Snipe] How utterly poetic.
[Snipe] Well, my friends, I'm gone to start my new life...
[Hotaru-chan] Isn't it?
[Snipe] ...I'll never forget you all.
[Dominator] Our greatest foe... The Coke machine
* Dias walks over to Snipe with Eve
[Slasher] ..A....little help...here.
* Eve` hugs Snipe, smiling at him.
* Hotaru-chan walks over to Snipe too.
[Eve`] I'll miss you, John McCormick.
* Garland looks at the machine, nastalgic.
[Garland] You make it sound like you're all going your separate ways.
[Snipe] I'll miss you, Nude Lady.
* Garland looks at them.
* Dias smirks
* Snipe looks at Garland
[Snipe] Looks like we are.
[Hotaru-chan] I won't miss you, Slasher.
* Garland nods.
[Dominator] I'm sure we'll still see each other, every now and again
[Snipe] But it's a small universe.  We'll meet up again.
[Slasher] ...You don't know me enough Hotaru!
* Garland throws his swords at a nearby rock, embedding them in it.
[Dias] Snipe...*reaches his hand out towards him*
* Snipe shakes it.
* Garland looks at them all.
[Snipe] You've been a good bud.
[GameMaster`] *the coke machine pops out a coke*
* Dias pulls him in and gives him a bear hug, picking him off the ground
[Snipe] Ack!
[Slasher] ....Help...
* Garland grabs a Vanilla Coke
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *picks up the coke, and takes a drink
[Slasher] ...Machine....crushing...spleen..
[Dominator] Hrm? *glances back at Slasher*
[Eve`] NRP: *plays Graduation*
[Dominator] Oh. Garland... if you'd give me a hand...
* Dominator grabs the right side of the machine
* Dias pulls out a datapad and tosses it to Snipe
* Snipe hugs Dias back.
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *helps Dom*
[Garland] Leave im there a while.
* Snipe catches it.
[Hotaru-chan] I'll miss you Garly.
* Dominator pulls the machine up
[GameMaster`] *rebels, but moves*
[Dias] Keep in touch John...Incase we need a babysitter....or 3
* Garland looks at Hotaru
[Snipe] Right.  You wish.
[Garland] There's not going to be any missing me.
* Slasher rolls out from under it
* Garland looks up at the clouds
[Dominator] There
* Slasher pushes himself up
[Hotaru-chan] What do you mean?
*** Diamondback is now known as Sherin-Sleepin
[Slasher] Garland...
* Garland looks at Slasher
* Slasher reaches his hand out
* Dominator watches the Hunters
* Garland shakes his hand slowly
* Slasher smiles
[Slasher] It's been fun.
[Slasher] If you find anything interesting...send me a word...
[Garland] It wouldn't have been any fun without you, Slasher.
* Dominator thinking back to that deep breath he took before entering the Control Room, at the start of the Hypertrap mission
[Dias] Just think about it Snipe...you saying no to a cute little kid that can control your mind?
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: [GM] *unknown to all the hunters, this is just an hallucination created by Xevil to distract them*
[Snipe] ....
* Garland seems to think for a moment, then throws off his cloak to the wind
[Eve`] NRP: That would be great.
[Dias] NRP: While he robs our pockets
[Snipe] ...wait!  This isn't real!
[Dominator] NRP: Don't give the GM any ideas
* Snipe poses dramatically
[Dias] ....It isn't eh? *slaps Snipe hard*
* Dominator raises an eyebrow at Snipe
[Hotaru-chan] O.o
[Snipe] OW!
[Dominator] That proves this must be real
[Snipe] Okay, just making sure.
* Hotaru-chan laughs
* Dominator grins
[Dias] ....No..*slaps him again* 
[Garland] Well, everyone seems to have plans, but I've not shared mine....
[GameMaster`] *suddenly, nearby, in the sky, is lots of shooting stars.  Nearby things can he heard crashlanding*
[Slasher] I can imagine what your doing
[Dominator] Go on, Garland
[Snipe] OW!
[Hotaru-chan] What are you going to do, Garland?
[Dias] Now we know it's real.
[Garland] You're right, I'm going after Xevil.
[Snipe] ...the wreckage of the Planet Killer...
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] The invasion of the coke machines...
* Slasher nods
[Garland] But after that...
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] The coke machines are our true enemy!
* Dominator looks from Garland to the wreckage
[Eve`] Good luck to you, Garland.
[Slasher] Your heading back to your family?
[Slasher] Your first one?
* Dominator looks back
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] ... okay, maybe not.
* Garland looks around the vally, looking at the meteor shower
[Hotaru-chan] I'd like to visit everyone sometime...
[Garland] No, but I am going to go home.
[Dias] Don't worry Hotaru! You'll see our kids constantly...
[Eve`] Alliance Personnel: *head off to check out the crashing sounds*
[Slasher] They're going to except you back there?
[Hotaru-chan] I'm not sure whether to be relieved or scared.
[Snipe] Wasn't Parnel burnt to a crisp like Earth?
[Garland] You guys don't accept me?
[Snipe] ...wait, you mean Earth.
[Slasher] ....This is your home now?
* Dominator smiles
[Snipe] Like Hianule did earlier.
* Slasher smirks
[Dominator] You're always welcome here, Garland
* Garland nods
[Hotaru-chan] Yeah, feel free to stay as long as you want
[Dias] Come visit us sometime Gar..
[Garland] I figure you guys are gonna slack off and turn to jello arms on me, so...
[Snipe] A-men.  And potbellies.
[Dominator] I'll be a bit busy with the Alliance, but I'll always take the time to come back to Earth when I can...
[Garland] I reckon someone's gotta keep training just in case some people come to stir up trouble.
[Dominator] Good idea
[Dias] Gar...Look who I'm gonna be marrying. I'll have to keep strong or she'll end up kicking my ass.
[Garland] After all, Earth's the prime target for every evil in the universe.
[Slasher] Shouldn't be for awhile.
[Eve`] I already can.
[Dominator] Seems like it sometimes.
[GameMaster`] *sounds of explosions are heard and yelps*
* Garland looks at Dias
* Garland smirks
[Dias] ..*looks at her* ....Great, now everyone knows about it..
[Hotaru-chan] What are those explosions?
[Dominator] Er... *glances at the explosions* I hope my personel haven't gotten themselves into any trouble...
[GameMaster`] The Alliance Personnel: *run by, rambling about the evil.  They dive into their shuttle*
[Slasher] Get used to it son, it turns into some creative situations!
[Hotaru-chan] Uh oh...
[Slasher] ......Shit...well we got an hour break.
* Garland looks around.
[Snipe] I'm retired.
* Dias looks around trying to scan for any powerful levels
[Garland] .... Well, I still say we all get drunk tonight.
[Dias] Shouldn't take us more than 5 minutes.
[GameMaster`] *there is only a minor power level detected*
[Dominator] *glances at the personel* ... I think I've still got a lot of work to do...
[Dias] Than we can get drunk.
[Garland] I'm totally sober.
* Dias measures how far away it is
[GameMaster`] *seems to be at the falling remains of the Planet Killer*
* Garland senses it too.
[Dias] ...Wanna come with Eve?
[Garland] Should we check it out?
* Dias nods at Garland
[Eve`] Sure.
* Eve` walks towards it.
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Watch me play Snipe's daughter in TAW3 if it exists...
* Dias walks next to Eve
* Garland walks, for a change.
[Dominator] Hmm... Probably should...
* Hotaru-chan walks over too.
* Snipe stays there.
[Snipe] RETIRED I SAY!
[Dias] NRP: *watch me play Snipe's mistress
* Snipe sighs and follows.
[Hotaru-chan] I'll be right back John.
* Slasher laughs at Snipe
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Hey, that's MY job.
[GameMaster`] *they arrive at the smoldering remains of metal and some remains of the planet itself.
[Garland] You ever use that shampoo?
[Snipe] Oh shut up!
* Dominator looks over the remains
* Garland smiles ever so slightly
* Dias laughs at Garland and Snipe
[Dias] ...*looks at the ruins trying to find that power signal*
* Hotaru-chan looks for the signal too
[GameMaster`] *some of the planet shifts -- it looks like the area the Hunters were fighting DS at*
[Dias] .....
[Dias] That's wierd...
* Garland falls silent
[Snipe] No WAY...
[Hotaru-chan] He can't be...
[Slasher] ...STAR!
[Dominator] ...Waitaminute...
*** GameMaster` is now known as Squirrel
* Squirrel leaps out.
[Squirrel] CHITTER!
[Slasher] BAH!!
[Hotaru-chan] AHHH! SQUIRREL!
[Snipe] Oh...GOD!
[Garland] ..... *stops the Squirrel*
[Dominator] ...Incredible.
* Squirrel swings DS' saber at them.
[Slasher] Squirrel want some crackers?
* Slasher pulls out a pack of military packed crackers
[Garland] .... Oh hell. Squirrel, wanna come with me?
[Dominator] I'm still not sure what it is with squirrels and this team...
* Squirrel pauses, thinks about it, then hops on Garland's shoulder.
[Garland] I was serious when I said Xevil thinks you stink.
* Slasher eats his crackers
[Garland] Let's get him.
[Slasher] ....Garland, new date?
* Snipe snatches the saber from the squirrel.
[Snipe] Hey, this is DS'...
[Slasher] You guys make a cute couple.
[Dominator] Good work, Garland.
[Snipe] We should probably give it to Ariel.
[Garland] ..... It's not like that.
* Slasher nods
[Slasher] Of course it never starts like that...
* Slasher reaches out to Snipe for the sabre
* Squirrel looks around for enemies on Garland's shoulder.
[Slasher] I'll see her first
* Snipe hands it over to Slasher.
[Garland] I just figure It'd be nice to have a.... uh... Pikachu or whatever this is to help me out against Xevil.
* Eve` watches the squirrel warily.
* Slasher slides the sabre in a pouch to his sid
* Dias looks at Eve
[Dias] Can I have one?!
[Eve`] No!
[Dominator] Should come in handy...
[Dias] But!!
* Snipe runs his hand through his hair as he looks at the remains of their last great battle.
[Eve`] Ut!
[Dias] Bu...
[Eve`] Tut!
* Dias sticks his lower lip out
* Garland pulls something out of his pocket, staring at it.
[Hotaru-chan] ... Star...
* Slasher pulls out his datapad
[Slasher] Chip you online?
[Eve`] Chip: No.  I'm offline.  Please leave a message and your phone number and I'll get back to you later.
* Snipe looks over at Garland's hand.
[Dominator] Amazing...
[Slasher] Chip, want me to make a bioroid body for you?
* Garland is holding the now centuries old communicator DS gave him LONG ago.
[Eve`] Chip: Promise?
[Snipe] I remember those things.
[Slasher] Heh...deal
* Dominator stares off into the distance
[Squirrel] Chitter?
[Garland] Yeah... he said it would always work as long as he were there to answer.
[Snipe] ....
[Hotaru-chan] ...
* Hotaru-chan sighs
* Snipe looks down.
[Hotaru-chan] I...
* Garland looks at it long and hard
* Garland pockets it again.
[Dias] ...Can I have a squirrel now?
[Dominator] ".......I'll join."
[Hotaru-chan] Heh... I wonder if it still works...
[Eve`] No.
* Snipe looks at Dom.
[Dominator] Hmm. *shakes his head remembering*
[Garland] I kept it maintained...
[Snipe] You'll join?
[Dominator] That's what Death Star said after I asked him to join the team...
[Snipe] ...wow, how dramatic.
[Snipe] Wait, you were a Hunter first?
[Dominator] He always was good at that
[Slasher] You didn't know he was?
* Garland looks at the others
* Dias rocks Eve back and forth
[Snipe] I always just heard of DS being the leader, so I naturally thought he was first.
[Slasher] He was kinda forced into the position
[Dominator] Yes, I was.
[Garland] Well, I was leader--kinda for a little bit.
[Dominator] When the Hunters were reformed, Venerator was the original leader and I was co-leader.
[Snipe] Venerator died by a shuttle full of explosives - from CorSec, right?
[Slasher] Aye...
[Dominator] *a bit sadly* That's right.
[Snipe] Then why was Dominator skipped over as leader?
[Dominator] But after that, Death Star stepped in to help lead us forward
* Snipe rubs his chin
[Dominator] Politics, CorSec's tried to block me from becoming leading, using my maverick past against me...
[Dominator] It backfired when the EarthGov Council agreed and made Death Star leader
[Hotaru-chan] You... were a maverick...?
[Snipe] It must have been some era.  All of you old people still young.  At the high point of your careers....
* Slasher smiles
[Dominator] He was a former CorSec member, they said.... Little did they realize how much CorSec hated him
[Slasher] ....No...this is my high point..
[Slasher] I was quite...useless back then.
* Hotaru-chan smirks.
[Hotaru-chan] Still are.
[Dominator] *glances at Hotaru* For a short time... In the Wastelands... But that's long past
[Slasher] Kind of like Hotaru is now..
[Garland] *looks at Slasher* What's the difference now?
* Hotaru-chan sticks her tongue out at Slasher
* Eve` laughs
[Slasher] I make things explode...
[Slasher] Back then..I couldn't make a grenade explode.
[Hotaru-chan] Hey, I'm stronger than you!
* Dominator chuckles at Slasher's comment
[Snipe] GM: *a gentle wind blows by*
[Slasher] ....Is it cold out here.......*looks down* DAMNT! Ok, who took my pants!
* Slasher looks around, only having boxers on and his shirt
* Garland looks at the Squirrel
[Hotaru-chan] Everything's different now...
[Snipe] The world keeps changing and us with it.
* Slasher looks at the squirrel
[Garland] No, Hotaru.
[Slasher] Did you take my pants?
* Squirrel is wearing the pants like a hat.
* Hotaru-chan looks at Garland
[Hotaru-chan] No?
[Slasher] ......Sucks to be you squirrel!
[Dominator] Not quite everything... *feels the wind* Some things never change.
[Slasher] Those are about 6 days old!
[Garland] Everythign is as it should be.
* Hotaru-chan smiles.
* Snipe turns and starts walking away.
[Snipe] See you later, Hunters.
* Snipe does a salute.
*** Protean has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Dias stretches his foot out tripping Snipe
[Hotaru-chan] I'll be going with John...
* Garland looks up to the sky
* Snipe stumbles.
* Dias stretches out like it was an accident
[Snipe] ..
[Dias] Ohh...Sorry there..
* Snipe nods slowly, smirks, and walks on.
[Garland] I've got a few places I can get leads on Xevil. I should get on it.
* Dominator salutes Snipe
[Dominator] Good luck
* Slasher laughs to himself, still not wearing pants
[Garland] Faster I take care of him, faster I'll be back here, where I belong.
[Slasher] Good luck catching him Garland
[Hotaru-chan] Good luck Garly.
* Dominator puts a hand on Garland's shoulder
* Garland looks at them all. "Thanks... I'm sure I'll be making the Galactic news---with all the stuff that's going to be blowing up."
[Dominator] It was good to fight beside you again, Garland
* Snipe waves at Garland, then walks over the hill and out of sight.
[Slasher] Yeah right...
[Garland] Hey, don't worry about it Dad, it'll come up again.
* Garland waves once to Snipe
[Hotaru-chan] ... "Dad"?
[Slasher] Gar, I'm not going to send you bail if you get arrested
[Garland] You really think any law enforcment in this galaxy could stop us, Slasher?
* Squirrel bounces off Garland, sniffs around, and digs through some of the remains.
* Garland grins, stepping back
[Hotaru-chan] Could, or would?
[Slasher] You don't want to be an outlaw now do ya?
* Garland looks at the Squirrel
[Dominator] All right, I'll be waiting for you. I'm proud of you, son.
[Garland] I'll be home soon.
[Dominator] *glances at Hotaru, smiling* Well, I raised Garland after his father died. Decades and decades ago
[Hotaru-chan] I really have to visit Ariel sometime...
* Squirrel digs down until a hand appears.
[Hotaru-chan] Oh.
* Hotaru-chan smiles.
* Garland quirks his brow, looking at the hand
* Slasher snifs the air and looks over at the squirrel
[Hotaru-chan] What the...?
* Dominator borrow furrows, looking at the hand
[Dias] Well Eve...I think we should get heading....
* Eve` watches the squirrel.
[Eve`] Yeah...
[Dias] Or we could wait...
* Hotaru-chan starts to help digging
[Squirrel] *they start digging up what looks to be a Tsivrixsh.  Could it Xevil...?*
* Garland lifts off a large chunk of Debris
* Slasher helps Garland with the large chunk
*** Sherin-Sleepin has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Dominator joins in, helping to dig
[Squirrel] *they pull up a Tsivrixsh, but his face has been ruined too far to be recognized*
[Slasher] ...*sniffs the tsiv
* Garland does the classic sniff-test
[Dominator] ... *silent*
[Hotaru-chan] I think it's Xevil...
[Squirrel] *the smell is similiar to Xevil...but it could be a trick  - another deception by him*
[Slasher] The beeper never did go off...
[Slasher] But who says he would've done it...
[Dominator] Who else could it be? But then again... With Xevil, we can never be sure
[Dias] ..Well...let's get going my mistress..
[Eve`] Right.
* Eve` loops her arm around his.
* Dias smiles
[Dominator] I'll take the corpse and have it examined and kept in tact
[Hotaru-chan] I keep hoping...
[Dias] Pops...I'll see you at home!
[Garland] Well, maybe my job's already done.... I'm gonna do a thorough search for him anyway though--I have some other planets to liberate. You know how that freakin' Tsiv Military is.
* Dias starts walking with Eve off to the distance
[Dominator] Maybe the Alliance can determine something... but somehow I think this will remain a mystery
[Slasher] Dom...Can you give me a ride to Ariel, Cheryl and Kat?
[Garland] Yo, Squirrel.
* Squirrel hops on Gar's shoulder.
* Garland waves
[Garland] See you all soon.
[Hotaru-chan] I wouldn't mind visiting too, but...
[Dominator] True, Garland. Let's hope under Xrileshr, the Tsivrixsh government will no longer trouble the galaxy... Still, I'm afraid splitter Tsivrixsh groups could trouble us for years to come
[Dominator] *turns to Slasher* Sure.
[Slasher] You need to get to Snipe..go make some babies damnt!
[Slasher] Sweeeet!
* Hotaru-chan laughs
[Garland] Not while I'm aound... Later. *waves*

[Slasher] ....Poor squirrels gotta go around with Garland....with his permaboner
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] I wouldn't mind going... at least until I work out where to go next.
[Garland] NRP: *beats the hell out of Slasher*
[Hotaru-chan] I'd best be going with John...
[Slasher] NRP: AHHH!!! *gets the hell beat out of Slasher leaving Sashr*
* Hotaru-chan starts to walk off.
[Dominator] All right, who's coming with me?
[Slasher] Guess that's just me chief.
[DeathStar] *another wind blows for those remaining behind at the ruins.  Strangely, they do not feel alone here...*
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Wouldn't that be Sasr -l?
* Dominator turns toward Hotaru
[Hotaru-chan] Dom...?
[Dominator] Good job today, Hotaru
[Hotaru-chan] Thanks...
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *sits by the ruins, remembering DS*
[Dominator] NRP: Sasr -l!! I like the sound of that
[Dominator] Well, see you later.
*** Slasher` has joined #taw
* Dominator glances at Slasher
*** Slasher has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[Slasher`] ....*looks around trying to knock that spooky, someones watching you feeling*
[Dominator] Ready to head over to the shuttle?
[Hotaru-chan] I keep hoping Star will return, but... I guess he's gone.
[Hotaru-chan] See you...
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] *nods* Ready.
* Slasher` looks down at the piece of DS armor he grabbed
[Slasher`] Yeah...
* Dominator looks at the armor and at Slasher
[Dominator] Who would've thought we'd come this far...
[Dominator] For a time I never thought we'd defeat the Tsivrixsh Empire... but now we nearly have
[Slasher`] He would..
[Slasher`] We have...
[Dominator] You're right. And maybe that's how we got so far
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] Thankyou, Death Star, Gray Fox...
[Dominator] We can all still learn a lot from Death Star... and each other
* Slasher` nods
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Yes, I remember Gray...
* Dominator takes a deep breath of the fresh air and starts walking toward the shuttle
* Slasher` follows behind him
* Slasher` begins chatting abut the old times
[DeathStar] *the wind blows around Kyouki, the only one left behind now*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] Are you listening in secret, Death Star...?
[DeathStar] *the wind stops momentarily*
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] We won... thankyou.
[DeathStar] *blows again*
* Dominator as he talks with Slash, he thinks of Death Star... and of the wind
* Slasher` thinks back on Slash and continues walking
*** Slasher` is now known as Dias-Away
[Hotaru-chan] 3[4Kyouki3] I'll come back here... but for now, I need to find myself.
