[ShellX] No, I mean to scan through cloaking
[Airier] So...
[Paladin`] There are no more Hunters.
[Airier] No Mavericks...
[Snipe] No clue, Shell
[Airier] No Maverick Hunters...
[Snipe] No Special Unit...
[Gravedigger] So we're the Alien Hunters, give a little artisic liscense.
[Airier] I never mentioned Hunters..
[Paladin`] . . .
* ShellX stares at the rings of Saturn
[Snipe] ....The Alien Hunters?  That doesn't go...
[Airier] Or just the Hunters if you like..
[Paladin`] God . . .
[Snipe] ...The Hunters?  Call ourselves the Hunters?
* Paladin` stalks off the bridge
[Ripple] [Spirit... Would you.. *finds this hard*  will you... join me in a psychic Rapport?]
[Snipe] ....Lets go the station...
[Airier] Hey.. we're doing thier job..
* Garland pulls a tattered badge out of his poket, it's being wet by tears
[Gravedigger] Would you prefer the Tsriv Hnters instead?
[Spirit] I don't care about history, or destiny... I just want to repay those alien bastards for what they did to my world...
* Snipe enters the shuttle
[Airier] Then Hunters it is...
* Paladin` steps onto the shuttle
[Spirit] [*silence*]
* Airier follows Snipe...
* Gravedigger gets on
* Ripple sighs, and follows snipe into the shuttle
[Snipe] Well, Hunters, lets go to the place it all began....
[Spirit] [Yes.]
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at the base beforee entering the shuttlee
[Paladin`] . . .
[Gravedigger] ...Didn't it begin on Earth?
* ShellX walks into the shuttle
[Snipe] .....Not really, Venerator brought it to life here...
* Spirit follows.
[Snipe] ...Death Star carried it on....
* Elayne_Vanguard nods
* Ripple smiles
* Ripple kisses Spirit
[Elayne_Vanguard] Mom told me about this place..
[Paladin`] ANd they're all dead . . .
[Garland] ......*looks down, as if he can't bear to go here*
* Snipe the shuttle flies and lands on the station, it rattling underneath them
[Gravedigger] Yeah, but X and Zero and them were on Earth, and they were the first Mav Hunters...
[Ripple] Dont be too sure about that...
[Snipe] ...Humans, put your suits on....
[Paladin`] And Snipe's the new leader . . .
[Snipe] ...ME!?  Lead the team?! Hardly...
* Elayne_Vanguard puts on a suit
* Paladin` puts on his helmet
[Ripple] Death has weird meanings for the hunters.
* Snipe tugs on his suit and steps off
* Airier puts his on
* Spirit kisses Ripple then activates her armor.
[Snipe] I'm not fit enough to lead something like the Hunters on a quest to free Earht.
* ShellX simulates a suit in his holomatrix
* Airier follows snipe
* Garland puts on a suit, and so does the nurse
[Snipe] ......*Glances around the control room*
[Paladin`] . . . did we get Dominator off the planet?
[Airier] I know where the control room is..
[AdmiralDrake SOUND]
* Gravedigger whistles
* Ripple activates his armor, and places the helmet on, biometal sealing it to the armor
[Nurse`] ....Just like old times...... huh, Dad......?
[Paladin`] That's ok Snipe.  We're not the Hunters.
[AdmiralDrake] ...No, we didn't.....another casuality of war....
[Gravedigger] Just like the stories man...
[Airier] He's in the Med-Bay, on the Fury..
* Nurse` pats Garland on the back
[Snipe] No, we didn't....another causality of war...
[Airier] But we aree Paladin...
* Ripple comes across Slash's room, the blood red S still on the door, faded with time
[Airier] Don't deny it..
* Garland looks at Sharlena
*** Nurse` is now known as Sharlena
* ShellX grins as he remembers the one time he spent here
[Snipe] .....*looks around* Think, 20 years ago....the Hunters stood right here *gestures hands around the area* They plotted and worked her...they lived here...
So it begins...
