[Snipe] Alright....I estimate this is enough

[Snipe] ...we have just the right number of people where we won't run out of fuel....
* Snipe flies away from the Fury.
[Paladin] We just deliver it and leave, right?  We don't administer it?
*** Kork (ask.me@max4052-jfa.jfa.nutecnet.com.br) has left #taw
* Shell_X continues staring out the window
[Snipe] ....we adminsiter it, we'll pour it into their atmosphere.
* Snipe flips some switches
* Garland stands in an open area in the shuttle, tosses the slab of rock up, and punches it with his good arm , his frist breaking through th e rock.
[Ripple] Its taken how?  Breathing it in? Absorbed through skin?
[Snipe] Alright, going into hyperspace
* Ripple straps himself in
[Snipe] ....well, they aren't infected yet, this is to stop the virus from spreading from their clouds
[Snipe] ...Garland, it would be appreciated if you don't bring extra weight onto the shuttle.
[Ripple] Good.
* Garland picks up the two new halfs, and does the same to them
[Paladin] So we just release it from on the planet?
[Snipe] ....Basically, we'll fly over the clouds and drop it.
[Garland] .... *coughs*
* Snipe leans back in his seat, watching the autopilot go, unable to leap out of hyperspace until they reach their destination.
* Shell_X charges his grav-a-rangs and releases them is systematic order, to keep the slabs of rocks weightless

[Snipe] NRP: I dunno...where you there for the dancing asses?
* Garland forces himself to power up more then normal, even though he doesn't expect to get in a fight.

[Ripple] NRP: k

* Snipe yawns, reading his book
[Snipe] NRP: No, you NRPers!
* Shell_X wonders what to name the lizardoid
[Paladin] . . . Uh . . .
[Paladin] Hey, if this is right . . .
* Snipe flips the page.
[Snipe] ....what, Pal?
* Ripple sits back, resting
* Paladin concentrates for a moment
[Paladin] Well, it looks like we're not at peak efficiency for fuel consumption
[Snipe] .....what?  That can only mean...there's some extra weight on here...
* Ripple sits up straight, looking around
[Ripple] Where would that be?
[Paladin] I guess.  I'm just reading the instraments
[Snipe] ....eh, I don't know....
* Snipe stands up and walks towards the cargo bay
[Garland] NRP: well, if any of you get an msg from a guy names mIRC tell me
[Garland] NRP: BRB
[Snipe] .....*Glances around*
[Snipe] Paladin, you're SURE about that?
[Ripple] Where would this weight be?
[Paladin] It says it right here.  And they did inspect this shuttle before we took off, didn't they?
[Snipe] ....sure did.
* Snipe opens the closet door and a 14 year old boy tumbles out
* Ripple raises an eyebrow
[Paladin] . . .
* Snipe steps back
* Garland looks at the boy
[Garland] I thought it was the slab of rock I brought on.
[Shell_X] Hello, what's this?
[Ripple] Who are you?
[Snipe] Boy: Uh...Timothy....
[Paladin] Christ . . . somebody tell me we're not this lax in security
* Snipe pales as a realization clicks with him
[Garland] ....Snipe?
[Snipe] Boy: Uh, hi...you the Hunters?
* Shell_X walks over to Paladin, so will we have enough fuel to get there?
* Snipe steps over to Shell
[Ripple] You ok Snipe?
[Snipe] No, no we won't Shell....the boy's weight pushes us right over the line....
[Snipe] Boy: ...uh, hello?
[Ripple] Yea, we are the hunters...
[Garland] I don't even know if I am anymore., but they say they are.
[Paladin] . . .
* Snipe sits down in his pilot seat and glances at Paladin
[Snipe] You DO know what these means?
[Shell_X] Does this shuttle have tractor beams?
[Snipe] NRP: this
[Paladin] Uh, Hunters?  They're dead, hate to tell ya.  Don't know what Rip's talking about
[Paladin] This means we won't be able to get there
[Snipe] ....that means we'll run out of fuel in hyperspace and will be destroyed.
* Ripple shakes his head
[Ripple] I cant get us out of Hyperspace using my warp either..
[Snipe] Boy: Is...there a problem....?  *quivers*
[Shell_X] Why don't we stop and try and find fuel somewhere?
[Snipe] ...we can't exit hyperspace...the shuttle won't let us.
[Paladin] Yes, you've killed us all.  But don't let that bother you, I'm sure you had good intentions.
[Snipe] Boy: WHAT?1
[Garland] Then..... we need to drop some weight?
[Ripple] Like what?\
[Snipe] ....like one of us.
[Ripple] ......
[Garland] .....I will go.
[Snipe] Boy: *cries*
[Garland] I weigh the most here.
[Paladin] Oh, chairs, instraments, medecine, armor can go first
[Snipe] ...you DO taht Garland, you'll die!
[Snipe] ...chairs and instraments are weightless
[Snipe] You dump ANY of taht medcine, millions will die
* Ripple thinks for a minute
[Snipe] You're willing to trade that boy's life for millions?
* Shell_X walks over to the boy and shows him the lizardoid
[Garland] .....So? Everyone thats close and dear to me are dead, or are going to be killed.
[Snipe] Boy: I'm going to die?!
[Garland] No.
[Paladin] Well, if we don't drop the medicine we die in addition to the millions
[Paladin] If we do drop it, they all die anyway.
[Snipe] ...if we dump the boy, we don't die either.  *sighs, realizing that sounded cold*
[Shell_X] Can we find some fuel somewhere else?
* Ripple sighs
[Garland] Drop me.
[Ripple] How, we cant get out of Hyperspace
[Snipe] ....he's right, Shell.
[Snipe] ....you know what's it's like to die in hyperspace?
[Ripple] ...Very.. VERY painful...
[Snipe] ...your flesh is torn from your limbs and the inners are shredded, and you explode literally..
[Snipe] Boy: *quakes in fear*
[Paladin] But it's all very quick, not too bad compared with other ways of death . . .
[Garland] .....
[Ripple] .... There has to be another option..
* Garland keeps a stern face.
[Snipe] ......*glances at clock* We have 20 minutes to find one before we pass our acceptable limit
[Shell_X] We could all go on a major diet
[Ripple] What's the shuttle powered by?
[Paladin] Well, it's either one of us or the medicine
[Garland] .....That wouldn't work.
[Paladin] Anybody willing to die for the planet?
[Snipe] ....I'm not sure, fuel!  The techs didn't give me THAT detailed of an explanation
[Ripple] ....... *sighs*
* Shell_X runs a scan of the fuel
[Ripple] Think we could rig up a energy transfer thingy between me and it?
* Snipe the fuel is...fuel meh!
[Snipe] .....no, sorry Ripple
[Ripple] ........ *Slams fist into a wall, denting it*
[Snipe] Boy: I-I don't wanna die
[Garland] .....*goes over to the airlock, and throws out the slab of rock he brought on*
* Snipe watches it slam against the wall
[Snipe] ....you have to close down the airlock before you do taht or you'll decompress us all!
[Shell_X] Couldn't we just drop out of hyperspace before we run out of fuel, still?
[Garland] NRP: .....It's kind of obvious I did that.
* Ripple shakes his head slowly
[Paladin] Shell, want to make the boy weightless?  Or perhaps Garland, since he is the heaviest?
[Garland] NRP: GArlands dumb, but not that dumb.
[Ripple] Computer locked us out of manual control...
[Snipe] ....aye.
[Ripple] And even I cant hack it..
[Garland] ....I already said. If need be, I'll be thrown off.
* Snipe sighs
* Shell_X tries using his Grav-a-rangs in charged mode to lighten the weight of Garland
[Snipe] 1 of us for millions of people....
[Ripple] .....
* Snipe the hyperspace frequences make the grave rangs useless.
[Ripple] .oO{Im sorry Spirit.... I must do this...}
[Ripple] ...... I'll go.
[Snipe] ...hell no!
[Paladin] . . . I've never really gotten hyperspace physics, but would it help if I kinda flew above the floor?
[Garland] No.
[Snipe] ....I don't know, Paladin...
[Garland] I will, no choice. I order it.
* Paladin shrugs and floats
[Ripple] ... I outrank you Garland.  You cant order me.
* Snipe glances at the controls and notices the fuel returning to normal status
[Garland] I don't care.
[Snipe] Boy: T-Then we're saved?!
* Ripple glances at the controls
* Paladin slaps his forehead
[Ripple] What in the heck..?
[Shell_X] Backup tank?
[Garland] ...?
* Snipe suddenly a crackle and Paladin lands on the ground
[Ripple] FLOAT!
[Paladin] . . .
[Snipe] .....I guess there's law of gravity we didn't know about..
* Ripple concentrates, and hovers a few inches above the ground
[Snipe] Boy: We're doomed!
[Ripple] Not If I can help it...
* Snipe notes Ripple's physic abilities are altered in hyperspace and he fails
[Snipe] .....what IS hyperspace?!
* Ripple drops the inches, and glares
[Ripple] ... I dont know...
* Garland flies up, trying his out of curiostiy
[Ripple] NRP: Weird.... 
[Paladin] Isn't it a slight alteration of reality to shorten the distances between two points?
* Shell_X downloads himself into the shuttle's computer to drop his simulated weight from that of the shuttle
[Ripple] I thought that space was "Bent" to allow us to travel faster from point A to point B..
* Snipe watches the fuel continue to drop for some reason, evne with the hovering
[Ripple] NRP: Event horizon
[Snipe] .....what....?
[Snipe] PALADIN!
[Paladin] NRP: Event horizon?  That's got to do with the gravity of black holes . . .
[Paladin] What?!
[Snipe] There has to be a fuel leak
[Ripple] NRP: But its the same principal...
[Paladin] Where?
[Snipe] ....the fuel lines!
[Snipe] I don't know, I'm not a mechanic1
*** Paladin has quit IRC (Does it please you to spurn me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked? Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees? Job 11:3-4)
[Ripple] Neither am I...
[Ripple] NRP: I assume that was an oops..
*** Paladin (soupman@cc49170-a.mtpls1.sc.home.com) has joined #TAW
* Snipe pokes head out the window and watches the tube, slashed
[Snipe] ...looks like we have someone on the Fury who hates us...
[Ripple] NRP: *Snipes head explodes from decompression*
[Snipe] NRP: I didn't POKE it out
[Paladin] . . . so how do we fix it from in here?
[Snipe] ...we don't
[Ripple] ... We sit here...
[Paladin] And die?
[Ripple] And we have another choice?
* Snipe adjusts factors on the computer
[Paladin] We throw the medicine out.
[Snipe] ....it still says getting rid of our weight will make us at least our of space.
[Ripple] ...... *shakes head*
[Ripple] THen I go.
[Snipe] ....*sighs, running hand through hair*
[Snipe] Even with GArland floating, Shell in the computer, we're going to die...
* Ripple thinks for a moment
[Garland] I go.
[Snipe] Boy: *cries*
[Garland] I'll go into space.
[Snipe] ...and die?  Hell no
*** Shell_X has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Garland] I'll die so you can live, UNDERSTAND ME?
[Snipe] ....why not draw straws if you two are so eager to die?
[Garland] I'm not eager.
* Ripple shakes his head
[Ripple] What other choice do we have Snipe?
* Snipe crosses arms and nods at the boy
[Ripple] One of us dies, or millions AND all of us die.
[Paladin] Or millions die.
[Snipe] Or the problem of this all dies.
* Paladin grimaces
[Snipe] Boy: Mah-me?
[Paladin] Your call, CO.
* Ripple glances at the boy
[Snipe] ....either way, we only have .... 6 minutes left.
[Snipe] Boy: *cries* I'm sorry!   I didn't knooooow!
[Ripple] .... *wonders if he would be able to open a warp to the same place, and stay in limbo, then decides not to try*
[Paladin] To be quite honest, my priorities have us as more important than the inhabitants of that planet.  The medicine should go before any of us
[Snipe] ....we let the inhabitants die, we'll run our of fuel in their space, and we'll die.
* Paladin walks over to the medicine
[Ripple] Question is, who is the kid?
* Snipe waits for Paladin's reaction to that
[Paladin] I can fly through space and atmosphere of my own accord.  I could even just fly down, grab a shuttle, and fly back up.  This suit is airtight, remember?
[Ripple] ... we dont have time for this Snipe..
[Garland] ...
[Snipe] ....yeah, 60 seconds left.
[Paladin] Or . . .
[Paladin] We just dump the boy's weight in medicine
[Snipe] ...eh?
[Paladin] Since that's what's throwing us off . . .
[Ripple] Humm...
* Snipe hits forehead
[Snipe] Why didn't I think of that?]!
[Ripple] No clue.
* Paladin quickly measures out the boys approximate weight and puts it in the airlock
[Ripple] DUMP IT NOW
[Snipe] .....*pulls down the lever*
[Garland] Is that possible? I mean, what if it's in set quantities. And can we.....nevermind.
* Snipe listens to the roar and he pushes the lever back up
[Snipe] NRP: *realizes Paladin was still in the airlock*
[Ripple] NRP: *pokes Pals remains*
[Snipe] NRP: Good one Ripple!
[Paladin] NRP: *Notices he just set it down in the airlock, not that he stepped in*
[Ripple] NRP: What can i say, I can time stuff good..
[Ripple] NRP: rats
[Snipe] .......*looks at the fuel* Well, we did it....
[Snipe] ....in the end, none of us had to die...what did we all learn form this/
[Ripple] Now to get whats left of the medicine into the atmosphere...
[Ripple] NRP: We are all stupid as rocks?
[Garland] absolutely nothing.
[Paladin] That our wits are about as sharp as your average tennis ball?
[Snipe] .....*sighs*
[Snipe] ....why?   Why do I bother...?
* Ripple shakes his head
[Ripple] I have no clue.\
[Paladin] And that nobody here is willing to die for the greater good.  Nobody.
* Snipe glances at Paladin
[Snipe] ...oh, and who WOULD?
[DB-Anth] NRP: *notes that both Garland and Rip were ready to sacrifice themselves*
[Paladin] NRP: *will get to that point, if it's brought up in Session*
[Garland] NRP: That if I push really hard, I can make my fanny make noises!
[Ripple] NRP: ugh..
[Snipe] NRP: Session Ends
[DB-Anth] NRP: That they made horrible choices for the FF Anth music CD...
[Paladin] Real heros.
[Snipe] ...and who is these "Real heroes"?
[Ripple] Real heros? Find us a few.
[Paladin] There aren't any anymore.  Haven't been for about 20 years.
[Ripple] They all died out or are left back on Earth.
[Garland] ....remind me, when we get a shuttle fat enough, for me to go back to Parnel.
[Paladin] . . . why would you need a fat shuttle?
[Snipe] ......Oh, really, Garland?  Running out?
[Garland] NRP: fast.
* Ripple sits down
* Garland looks down.
[Garland] I don't know anymore.
* Snipe sighs and kicks a chair over and walks off to the back
[Snipe] Session Ends
