* Snipe holds the cut off fuel tube
* Gravedigger looks at Snipe
[Paladin] Any leads on the saboteur?
*** Spirit (Avalon@CDR6-108.accesscable.net) has joined #taw
[Snipe] Not really, no,
* Garland sits in a desk within his dark quaters, writing.
[Gravedigger] Just what the hell are you doing?
* Ripple is standing there with his arms crossed
[Snipe] ..What does it look like?  I'm holding a chopped off fuel tube
[Paladin] Your fuel tube?
[Paladin] Isn't castration a bit much?
[Ripple] We gotta find that saboteur soon..
[Gravedigger] Well obviously....but why? I was in the little 'Ploids room. What'd I miss?
* Dias looks at Snipe
[Dias] You could say lil GD.
* Diamondback trudges in, yawning
[Gravedigger] Sabatoge? Wha?
[Snipe] .....I use it to bring much pleasure to the world, Grave.
[Diamondback] What'd... I miss... *yawns again*
* Gravedigger spinds on his heels and glares hard at Dias
[Ripple] .. Someone trying to kill us...
[Ripple] Again.
[Gravedigger] Look pukebag, you're REALLY trying my patience...
[Snipe] ...Hey, hey, we don't have time to be bickering
[Ripple] .oO{Spirit, where are you?}
* Dias smirks
[Diamondback] Figures.
* Garland walks into the bridge
[Paladin] I don't think he's very good at anything else, GD
[Spirit] NRP: On the fury?
[Snipe] NRP: Yes
[Snipe] At least our mission was still successful
[Dias] Hey did those aliens ever give us our reward?
[Gravedigger] If he was anywhere near as good at flying as he was at being a pain in the ass...
[Snipe] ...and we didn't have to throw anyone out the airlock.  *casts a glance at Ripple and Garland*
[Ripple] ..... I was willing to..
* Gravedigger tunrs back around
[Spirit] (Just hanging around my quarters... What'cha up to?)
* Ripple hopes Spirit didnt catch that..
[Paladin] I recall you being particularly eager to throw a little boy out . . .
* Garland glances at Ripple and Snipe, not saying anything, continueing his paper work
[Gravedigger] Anyays, sabatoge? I'm on it.
[Snipe] .....it was either him, or the fate of millions
* Gravedigger flips out an offical looking wallet with a fancy badge
* Ripple shakes his head
[Ripple] You need me for anything Snipe?
[Dias] Well are we going to stand here waiting for the sabetouer to strike again or what?
[Snipe] ....Grave, where the hell did you make that up?
[Diamondback] *to Rip* [I guess Dad's jokes about me being able to sleep through a five-alarm fire were right, eh?]
[Snipe] ....Hey, listen, we got 100,000 people on this ship...we can't just HUNT for someone like that.
[Ripple] *To DB* [You aint kidding..]
[Gravedigger] Didn't. I'm the ship's new private investigator.
[Snipe] Computers: Arriving at destination in 10 minues.
* Dias lets out a loud laugh
[Gravedigger] My office's next to the bakery, in fact.
[Dias] AH HAHAHA
* Ripple laughs
[Paladin] . . . what's our destination?
[Snipe] ....the bakery?  *hits forhead*
[Ripple] Doghnuts R us eh?
* Gravedigger shoots a glare at Dias and Rip
[Snipe] ...I'm not really sure.  I told Drake to take us into the heart of the alien's terrority, but a deserted planet.
[Dias] Dognuts?
[Spirit] [How appropiate]
[Gravedigger] Yeah, like you two jokers'd be any better.
[Diamondback] Yeah, I'm a regular there. Their cream-filled are incredible.
[Paladin] . . . the heart of WHICH alien's territory?
[Dias] Hey Rip, I think that was a challenge
[Ripple] NRP: *Shoots Dias, as he is tired.*
[Snipe] ....take a wild guess, Paladin
[Ripple] I like the fudge myself..
[Paladin] . . . shit, I leave for a few days, and we end up in hell . . .
[Snipe] ....yeah....uh huh...
[Ripple] [Spirit, you coming over here, or do i have to come get you? *mental wink*]
[Diamondback] You mean we were ever OUT of hell?
[Gravedigger] Wow Dias, with your keen observation powers, maybe YOU should be the offical p.i., you're certanly a big enough di-eeeeyyyyy Snipe, how's going?
[Snipe] ....*leans against the wall, bored* So, anyone have anything interesting to say?
[Dias] Yes
* Garland turns around and looks at everyone, his hair casting a shadow over his face, making him appear inintentionally dark.
[Snipe] ....Dias?
[Ripple] Besides that I've been getting headaches, and blacking out every now and then?
[Ripple] Nah.
* Diamondback yawns. 1"Interesting enough?"
* Dias stands there
[Garland] I do.
[Spirit] (Hehehe, Alright, I'll be there in a sec.)
[Diamondback] Well, my abilities out of con... Dammit, not now...
* Snipe glances at Garland
[Snipe] Come again?
[Dias] What do you want Snipe?
* Diamondback shapeshifts uncontrollably into a half white tiger
* Ripple snickers
[Snipe] .....oO (...oxymorons...)
* Spirit heads over to the others
[Diamondback] Frickin'...
[Gravedigger] Please let it be more interesting than listening to Dias's inane chatter.
[Ripple] NRP: Accent on the moron
[Paladin] . . . paint chips are more interesting, so I'd say that's a given.
[Garland] I suggest, that while we're at our destination, we try to pick up some training equipment, we'll need to be at our tops when we take on Xevil next time.
[Ripple] Nah, i'd say watching paint dry is more interesting..
[Gravedigger] NRP: "You buncha nazimorons!" "Sir, I believe that's oxymorons" "...Right, that's what I said"
[Dias] I'ld say eating paint is more interesting but I don't eat paint
[Snipe] ......That's a nice suggestion.  But, we'll have to find some place not taken over for that.  Right now, we're neck deep in ---- *Alarms go off* Alright, to your stations
[Paladin] Garland?  That's pretty silly . . . we're always too tired to train after our constant battles.  Besides, those battles keep us in good enough shape
[Diamondback] Another battle. Fun.
* Ripple shakes his head, dropping into a weapon control console
[Snipe] .......Not quite...you idiots....we're exiting hyperspace.
[Snipe] Index: Sheesh
[Gravedigger] That which does not kill us, only makes us wish we were dead.
[Spirit] Little jumpy?
[Paladin] I was never assigned a station.
* Ripple straps himself in
[Ripple] No, i know how this thing rides in and out of hyperspace
* Snipe the Fury leaps out of hyperspace, right in front of a planet
* Garland looks at Pal, a drop of sweat tirckling down his face, from the meta-physical training he's putting himself through constantly.
* Diamondback goes ahead and takes a weapons console. By chance, his body reverts as he does.
[Gravedigger] Ugly lil' mudball, ain't it?
* Snipe the entire ship jars, but he keeps his balance.
[Garland] We're nowhere near good enough.
* Ripple smiles and feelings of happyness can be felt by Spirit as she walks in
[Snipe] I agree, Grave....looks isolate and deserted.
* Spirit keeps her balance easily
[Dias] NRP: BRB sometake over for me 
[Paladin] . . . you noticed?  Good, I thought I was the only one who saw us getting our asses handed to ourselves.
* Ripple runs a scan of it
[Spirit] (Nice to see you too ;] )
* Snipe walks over to Ripple, slowly
[Snipe] .....What's that?  Cities?
* Ripple glances up
[Diamondback] I thought this planet was deserted...
[Ripple] Dunna know.. looks like it..
[Snipe] ...it looked it.
[Gravedigger] Could be....now
* Diamondback shudders
[Snipe] .....any lifeforms?
[Ripple] Wonder what happened to get rid of the people that lived there..
* Ripple checks scanners
[Ripple] Not that i can see..
[Diamondback] Rip, you've got the scanners, you check.
[Snipe] ......hrm
[Spirit] Run a sample on the air quality, will you?
[Gravedigger] Well, let's see, the big T's certainly hit the big 10 list of "Threats that can evac a planet", I'd say.
[Snipe] ...what number do you think they rank, Grave, 11?
[Diamondback] Indeed...
[Ripple] Got it. *hits a bunch of keys, and a 3d display appears over the control*
[Snipe] ....air is breathable...
[Snipe] NRP: nar
[Ripple] 70% oxygen... 29% nitrogen...
[Paladin] . . . holy . . .
[Paladin] That's pretty toxic
[Ripple] and 1% of everything else.
[Gravedigger] 7.5, but then again, those Melba Bonya albums short out my neural net...
[Ripple] NRP: Err, then we would be dead Pal...
[Snipe] ......*glances back and forth between the readings* But it says it's breatheable!
[Garland] Sounds a bit like Parnel's atmosphere.
[Diamondback] Actually, isn't that close to Earth's concentration?
[Paladin] NRP: Oxygen is extremely corrosive
[Paladin] No, Oxygen on earth is closer to 30$%
[Ripple] NRP: you aint kidding *kicks dads truck, which is now rusted..*
* Ripple types a few keys
[Diamondback] Hmm. No wonder I nearly flunked physical science...
[Ripple] Someones been screwing with the scanners..
[Snipe] .......*Sighs* Instead of training, we need to teach
[Diamondback] Someone's been screwing with everything on this piece of...
[Gravedigger] Sabature guy?
[Snipe] Index: That...sabature?
[Diamondback] This weapons console is completely gone...
* Ripple recalibrates the scanners, then runs the scan again, coming up as the air perfectly breathable
[Ripple] NRP: So shoot me.  I took bio last year, and burnt my notes after.
[Snipe] .....then if that messed up, there could be life down there as well...I Think we should investagate.
[Diamondback] Sounds like a plan...
[Snipe] Index: I think DB needs a vacation
* Ripple nods
[Snipe] ....to go where no man has gone before!
[Diamondback] Screw off, Index. I'm in on this one.
[Gravedigger] If the scanners are that screwed up though, could the threat be a tad more then we bargained for?
[Ripple] *To All but DB* [ Heh heh heh, SOOO true..]
[Paladin] And a flea collar . . .
[Snipe] Index: Who?  With your sister?
[Diamondback] ...I don't HAVE a sister.
[Spirit] Sure, got nothing better to do =P (The concert hall is almost done... I can't wait!)
[Garland] NRP: Parnel's safe, because the ground has a lot of Iron in it, so most of it's oxygen is in the dirt, so Humans can surfuve a while, and Cheire can survive indefinenlty because their mostly lead.
[Snipe] Index: Oh...that dog running around isn't your sister?
* Ripple stands, stretching
[Gravedigger] Guys, guys, GUYS!
* Diamondback raises Index into the air, simulating a hand around his neck with telekinesis
[Snipe] ......DB...no Darth Vader moves please.
* Spirit giggles
[Diamondback] Darth who?
[Snipe] Index: GAHHHH!
* Ripple smirks
[Gravedigger] Planet, threat, we-us, go down, go battle evil typestuff?
[Paladin] . . . who said anything about evil?
[Gravedigger] When ISN'T there evil type stuff?
* Diamondback drops Index
[Snipe] Counselor: I need to have a chat with Chris again...
[Ripple] Well, im ready to go.  *faint purple glow in his right iris*
* Snipe takes his short cut, top secret, leader elevator to the hanger
[Paladin] When you're not around
[Spirit] Same here *pats the hilt of the sword she happened to have with her*
* Ripple opens a portal, and ushers Spirit through before closing it after he walks through
[Gravedigger] But I'm around now, so there's evil type stuff to contend with.
* Garland straps on his black battle armor, no tolerance any attacks these days.
* Diamondback takes the even shorter way and psionically teleports to the hangar
[Paladin] NRP: Psionically . . . teleports?
* Snipe powers up the shuttle they got from ________ after saving it
[Spirit] [Chris, you gotta teach me that...]
* Garland blurs to the hangar, as fast as he can, for exorsize.
[Diamondback] [I will sometime.]
* Paladin steps off of the elevator, like a DAMNED NORMAL person
* Gravedigger gets in the snail-o'vator like any self-respecting non-teleporter
[Snipe] NRP: For whhoza?!
[Diamondback] [Remind me when we get back.]
[Gravedigger] 'Vator, hangar.
[Diamondback] NRP: The tables have turned! HAHA!
[Snipe] Elevator: Please wait....*plays music*

[Snipe] ....scary to think Dias will be flying this

* Gravedigger steps off the elevator and gets on the shuttle
* Snipe watches a squirrel run in
* Paladin boards
[Gravedigger] AHH! RODENT!
[Snipe] ....X2 and Index finished him, I see.
[Paladin] Glad to see that somebody finally built one of the damned things
[Spirit] (Awww... I gotta get myself one of those...)
* Snipe the squirrel flies the shuttle toward the planet, chittering
[Ripple] .oO(Heh heh heh, maybe for christmas.)
[Snipe] .....Pause for a moment and pounder....
[Snipe] ...our lives are in the hands of a squirrel...
[Gravedigger] ...Rmeind me to make sure the little rodent gets back safely in one piece, the dark cloaked one said with a hint sinisterism in his voice....
[Garland] .....Why do we use squirrils, anyway?
[Gravedigger] Wait, was that outloud...
[Paladin] Better him than OUR pilots . . .
[Spirit] *Everyone save dias* [Trust it more than Dias]
[Diamondback] Better a rodent that a jackass.
[Snipe] .......
[Snipe] Squirrel: *flips the shuttle upside down*
[Garland] ......Thats not what I meant. Grr....

[Diamondback] ...
[Gravedigger] GAH!
* Gravedigger smacks into the ceiling

* Diamondback 's blood rushes to his head
[Gravedigger] Unnnhh.....frickin' rodent piece of shit...
[Diamondback] Uunngh...

[Ripple] Heh heh *is having a ball with this*
[Snipe] ....ow...head...ow.
* Diamondback unbuckles himself and lands on the ceiling
[Spirit] *claps her hands and laughs* n.n
[Gravedigger] Anti-mag boots, hoverboard, flight unti, ANYTHING to stop me from falling or not flying....
* Garland stays in his seat, not buckled
[Snipe] Squirrel: *stops flying and chats with them*
[Diamondback] ...[Just HOW does he do that?]
[Ripple] Spirit, catch yourself.
* Ripple releases her, and flips to the "Celing" waiting for her
[Gravedigger] Watcht he road, Rodent!
[Snipe] Squirrel: I beg your pardon?
[Gravedigger] ...Dear God no, it TALKS!
* Diamondback watches a meteor approach the shuttle
[Diamondback] Uh...
* Spirit flips to her feet, on the ceiling
[Snipe] Squirrel: 'Fraid so chap
* Garland clentches his teeth, making staying on the floor-now-ceiling hard for himself on purpose.
[Gravedigger] ...And it's ENGLISH!
[Ripple] Heh heh heh, you got an opponant Grave.
[Snipe] Squirrel: *smokes his little pipe, flying out of the way at the last moment*
* Diamondback telekinetically drives the shuttle, leaving it upside-down to avoide headaches
[Paladin] . . .
[Diamondback] NRP: Ignore that
[Snipe] .....seeing..spots...
* Paladin begins to chuckle
[Diamondback] Snipe... Might I suggest unbuckling?
[Snipe] .....Uggghhhhh....?
[Paladin] There are so many ways to die . . . couldn't we just eliminate some of them for a change?
* Ripple unbuckles Snipe
[Snipe] Squirrel: Well, ol' boy, you could just shoot yourself
* Garland blurs and lands on the ground, kicking the air
[Gravedigger] Hey Limey, how's about actually turning the shuttle assways up?
* Snipe does so and causes them all to crash to the floor

[Gravedigger] Naaaaaaaayaaaaaaaayaaaaaaayaaaaaaaa!
[Ripple] NRP: *Uo runs by with scissors*

* Gravedigger sits there, smoking
* Snipe the shuttle flies into the atmosphere

[Ripple] YOu never know what size meteor your gonna hit today
[Garland] I doubt it. I'll make it a point to never listen to you again, rat.

* Spirit gets off the shuttle
* Snipe places his sword on his shoulder
* Dias walks off the shuttle rubbing his head
[Ripple] Whatever...
[Snipe] Well, I was talking to a guy called Laguna---well, Grave, no one's home..

* Garland tightens leather strap, holding his sword
[Paladin] NRP: *drops his 501st* . . . uh, what happens if you do?
[Ripple] NRP: You die. Really good, and painfully, as your stomach tries to digest the sugar, and fails, creating a backlog of crap you err.. have to crap..

[Ripple] Nice place... Looks a bit... empty..
[Snipe] GM: DB finds them
[Snipe] ...sure does.

[Gravedigger] Holy moly....
[Dias] That's a good sign
* Snipe glances at the advertisement sign

[Gravedigger] AH!
