[Garland] Snipe!
[Paladin^] Erm . . . Commander?
[Ripple] Just doing what i can Andrea.. thats ALL i can do...

[Snipe] [Halo?  Echoooo...echoooo]
[Dias] Snipe, is this the one?

[Diamondback] [I knew it! He's lying about not being able to hear us!]
[Spirit] NRP: *Gigaslaves Snipe*
* Garland has been seen speaking in psionics, (session 1) so he needs not prove it.
[Snipe] GM: Ripple gets a burst of static as he listens in, and feels strangely detached from mental reality
[Avatar] NRP: So, you can get a new skill instead of a weapon if you want?
[Snipe] ...*hears noting*
[Snipe] NRP: Ni
* Diamondback curses aloud
[Garland] NRP: NI!

[Snipe] ..Enter hyperspace Dias.
* Diamondback disappears from Paladin's vision
* Avatar scans Snipe
[Garland] NRP: I AM THE ORIGINAL NIGHT OF NI!
[Dias] Aye Aye 
[Paladin^] NRP: That's Knight
[Snipe] [I'm in love with you----]  *watches Avatar get a blank expression* Is he okay?
* Dias hits the hyperspace button and they enter
[Ripple] NRP: I am the knighted knight of NI!
[Garland] NRP: NIGHT AND KNIGHT! FOR A GO NI!
[Ripple] Uhhhh..
* Diamondback glances at Avatar
[Avatar] NRP: From the scan?
[Snipe] NRP: Yes.
[Garland] NRP: knights ripple again
* Avatar shakes head and looks normal
[Diamondback] [What'd he do, sc...] *ahem* What'd he do, try to scan you?
[Ripple] Snipe, somethings funky with your telepathic stuff..
[Snipe] NRP: PLus you can't really hear Snipe, just bits and pieces, and it really screws with you to do it
[Avatar] [Odd, I...] Odd, I tried to scan Snipe and got nothing...
[Snipe] ...I don't know,  I didn't feel anything
[Ripple] Its like.. staticy... [Like someone left the radio on halfway between stations..]
[Snipe] ....And by God, if I hear *Ahem* again, I'm going to give you cleaning duty.
[Avatar] I'm not sure why... but pressing a scan and attacking any defenses you might have wouldn't be safe to do against you...
[Diamondback] [I've already tried a l...] I've already tried a lot of stuff on him, whether he realizes it or not... He's, like, a black hole to psionics...
* Dias turns the overhead mike on 1"Lunch will be served when we reach the speed of Hyperspace...Ahh we have.."
[Avatar] Yet he sends out faint psionic signals...
[Snipe] ......*bonks Dias, only an arms reach away*
[Diamondback] [Strange...]
[Dias] Ouch!
* Paladin^ looks out the window, the conversation fading from his ears
[Dias] Snipe..Do I have to pull over?
[Spirit] Maybe his callsign should be enigma
[Snipe] So, are tahe cargo ships following us?
[Garland] You mean, he sucks it in, before he can hear it?
[Dias] Don't make me pull over
[Ripple] Heh heh
[Diamondback] That's exactly what I mean, Garland.
[Garland] I see..... Odd.....
[Snipe] ...And what does he do with it?  That is my question
[Snipe] ..Wait, he's me.
[Diamondback] First off, you are he.
* Snipe bonks Dias
* Garland wonders.....
[Avatar] Odd and annoying, as vocally communicating is much slower, unrelayable, and cumbersome...
[Snipe] Are the CARGO ships behind us?
[Dias] Snipe, that is a good question. Are the cargo ships behind us?
[Snipe] ......DIAS!
[Ripple] Yea, we are going kinda fast..
* Ripple looks back
[Snipe] ...Scan for them
[Diamondback] Second... I'm guessing that the psychic *stumbles over the word* com-mun-i-ca-tion is just kind of dissipated...
[Garland] Maybe it could account for your "super human"?
[Snipe] ...*frowns* I'm not a superhuman
[Ripple] NRP: GTG
[Ripple] Ok, your Super-something
[Paladin^] NRP: *punts Ripple from the shuttle*
[Snipe] ....SuperSnipe!
[Avatar] NRP: What is a superhuman anyhow? The enhanced are kindal ike superhumans...
[Garland] Like hell. I saw you last week.
* Ripple sits back and falls asleep
[Diamondback] NRP: Yeah, I didn't think about that
*** Ripple (Blayde22@sktnsk01d051701131.sk.sympatico.ca) has left #taw
[Snipe] NRP: *Sees we're more interested in Snipe than the mission* I'm flattered.
[Avatar] ...
[Spirit] NRP: *doodles on Ripple's face*
*** Dias has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Avatar] NRP: Just trying to get around the annoyance of not being able to talk psionically
[Diamondback] NRP: *throws the shoe from earlier at Snipe*
* Snipe sees dias vanish and grabs the controls
[Avatar] [Where are we now, Dias?]
[Snipe] THAT IDIOT!
[Diamondback] [Screw it... If he can't hear me, that's too bad...]
* Paladin^ grabs the controls
[Paladin^] NRP: Nm
[Spirit] [So, what were doing anyways?]
[Paladin^] NRP: Ignore that . . .
* Snipe scans for the cargo ships and finds them
* Diamondback sighs
[Diamondback] Yeah, what are we doing, anyway?
[Snipe] ...Alright, so he didn't lose them....good...now...how do I fly....
[Snipe] Computer: Warning, going off course...AIEEE!
[Diamondback] GAH! Give me the contrls, Snipe!
[Paladin^] I think Avatar has the ability
[Snipe] Computer: Please put someone who can operate me at the controls
* Diamondback telekinetically takes the controls from the weapons seat
[Garland] Fly yourself, computer!
* Diamondback until Paladin can take them
[Paladin^] . . .
[Avatar] Uh, sir, I am actually skilled at flying...
* Diamondback or somebody
[Snipe] Computer: Screw you!  Screw me!  We're screwed.
* Snipe rips the controls out and hands them to Avatar
[Snipe] Here you go
[Paladin^] . . .
[Avatar] !
[Diamondback] ...THAT was bright...
[Snipe] ....Oh shit
[Paladin^] Did you . . . hit your head or something?
[Diamondback] [Where's the co-pilot's seat!?]
[Snipe] Computer: *gets quiet*
[Avatar] You didn't think about that did you?
[Snipe] ...No, no I didn't...
* Diamondback checks the weapons console for controls to the ship
[Diamondback] Nothing...
[Avatar] Tell me there's a copilot seat?
* Snipe sits there, holding the controls, as the ship steers off course
[Snipe] ....Um, er, yes...but it's broken
* Diamondback tries to telekinetically control the ship
[Avatar] NRP: *wonders if Snipe planned this*
* Spirit uses her telemechanics to try to pilot the ship.
[Avatar] But, I thoght this was new!
[Snipe] .....It's still being worked on...
[Avatar] Great... just greeeaaat...
* Snipe places the controls back and slinks off to his seat
* Snipe glares at DB
[Snipe] I HEARD THAT!
[Paladin^] NRP: Is the ship off course and going straight or turning in a big circle?
[Diamondback] [Ryan, help us out here...]
* Avatar goes over to the controls and telekinetically holds them in and tries to fly
[Diamondback] But I didn't say anything...
[Snipe] NRP: Circle...at the cargo ships
[Snipe] ...Oh, damn, was hoping you did so I could shock you
[Avatar] NRP: Can I get control?
[Snipe] NRP: Ye.
* Garland pulls out a hot dog
* Snipe glances at Garland
* Diamondback releases his telekinetic hold on the ship
[Snipe] You've been quiet, o' calm one
* Avatar flies using telekinises, a bit unnerving as the controls move by themselves and his hands aren't on the controls
* Snipe feels unnverved
* Garland munches
[Garland] Huh?
[Garland] Oh, want one?
* Avatar steers the ship in formation with the convoy
* Diamondback isn't unnerved at all
* Paladin^ wonders if Snipe's mental capabilities have been affected by the past battles
* Snipe is too embarrased to say he didn't know his own strength
* Avatar as he's able to sense the ships around him and easily control his instruments, it's much easier for him to fly than most people
*** Dias (Ender@209.32.248.188) has joined #taw
[Snipe] Computer: And next on my will...oh, we're here...alarm, alarm...jump out of hyperspace..hey, the pilot's back.
[Dias] NRP:STUPID IRC!
* Spirit is lost in thought, and tries to ignore the fact that Snipe almost killed them.
[Avatar] I'd suggest someone take the weaposn consol now that I'm flying
* Paladin^ hops into it
* Diamondback is already at one of them
* Dias snaps out of it
* Avatar jumps out of hyperspace
* Garland makes small talk with Snipe
[Dias] Woh...
* Snipe before them is the planet, the docking station ahead
[Garland] You ever think about stuff?
[Snipe] .....Stuff?
[Snipe] I HEARD THAT!
[Garland] Yeah, not the word "stuff" but in a broader term, you know, like the little things.
[Dias] As in Captian Winky?
* Avatar scrolls through scans of the objects and ships in the area, chekcing for anything unusualy
[Snipe] ...I think about Maki...love...my job...the safety of my teammates....what I'm going to do next.
[Avatar] I guess Convi... Sigma was wrong that we wouldn't be out of the job now?
[Snipe] o O (Hmmm...at least I know I can think to myself without anyone listening in)
* Snipe flinces at that, but says nothing
[Spirit] Where are we going anyways? [Where are we going anyways?] *at the same time*
[Paladin^] Maybe we are.
* Avatar glances at Snipe
[Diamondback] [There's an idea...]
[Dias] Hey..I want my pilot seat back *tosses Avatar out of the pilot seat and takes over*
[Garland] Well..... If I were to say what I think about, It'd be Ni'Nareana, my children, and my friends.
[Snipe] ....*points at the station* There, we dock there and make sure the convoy docks..then we can go to the casino and head home.
[Avatar] We're escourting the cargo ships.
[Snipe] ...Who are your friends?
* Avatar follows the convoy by the rear and watches them start docking
[Diamondback] [Casino? My kind of place!]
[Spirit] *eyes brighten* Casino?
[Diamondback] NRP: [] means that both telepathy and speech are used.
[Snipe] ...Carters, sheesh
[Garland] The old hunters, and you guys..
[Avatar] Comm.: This is the shuttle London. REquesting permission to dock.
[Snipe] ....All the old Hunters were your friends?
[Paladin^] . o O {Like father . . .}
[Diamondback] [Something wrong with the Carters, Snipe?]
[Snipe] ...No, just your history with casinos
[Dias] Casino..Hmm...Guess I could use Ripples HoloCard..
[Garland] Yes, and so are all the Special Units.
[Avatar] NRP: DB, don't use [ ] for that. Use { }
[Snipe] ...I see.
[Diamondback] NRP: Ok, whatever.
[Snipe] Comm: Ah, hello, London..please dock in bay 2.
[Diamondback] NRP: Ah, good point...
[Garland] Well..... no, yes, Wiendigo included.
[Avatar] NRP: When DS changes the logs [ ] and changed into [ and ], so it'll look the same on the log
[Diamondback] NRP: Yeah, I realized that.
* Dias pilots the London into docking bay 2
[Snipe] .....Well, who was your best friend, Garland?
* Avatar docks in bay two
[Dias] My DA!
