* Garland looks at the door
[Elayne_Vanguard] Lat's join the others

* Ripple looks at the figure
[Gravedigger] NRP: Oh my God! It's BATMAN!
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at thee open door
* Snipe the man steps into view, revealing himself to be....Spade
[Spirit] .oO( *nervous* )
[Snipe] NRP: ....heh heh
* Garland walks over to the overs, still looking at the door
[Snipe] Spade: I am...quite surprised you lived.
[Ripple] NRP: Holy SOCKS batman!
* Dias looks at Spade
* Elayne_Vanguard grins from ear to ear
[Dias] Thought you died? 
[Elayne_Vanguard] Grandpa...
[Garland] NRP: WHATT DID I TELL YOU!!!?!?!?!?!
[Ripple] Im suprised you lived also.
[Dias] NRP: What the...we found his bones on earth
[Snipe] Spade: I was....well away from Earth when it was hit, thankfully.
* Shell_X walks out toward the shuttle... thinking
[Snipe] ......how pleasant...
[Garland] NRP: what bones? he's a reploid!
* Elayne_Vanguard knows just what happened
[Dias] Sounds like an excuse to me
[Snipe] NRP: Spade's not a reploid
* Gravedigger leans to Rip
[Snipe] NRP: I know, Dias...there IS a mystery here
[Gravedigger] Who is this guy?
[Garland] NRP: Huh? 
[Spirit] [How many people that are supposed to dead are still alive?]
[Snipe] ...that's the president, Grave...
* Elayne_Vanguard rushes to Snipe
[Garland] NRP: well shows how much I KNOW!!! BAH!
[Ripple] [I have no clue.  Too many to count thats for sure.....]
[Snipe] Spade: Lots of people....lots.  Death is just another form of life.
[Gravedigger] President of what? I'm Canadian, 'member?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Remember my dad Snipe... my real one...
[Ripple] NRP: WOOO FOR CANADA!
[Snipe] OF THE ENTIRE WORLD GRAVE!
[Snipe] ....sorry, Elayne...I don't care for Spade....
[Snipe] ...and I never knew death Star
[Dias] You either?
[Elayne_Vanguard] No... the cloning projects...
[Gravedigger] NRP: *snickers* Oooohhhhh Rip, didn't quite catch that right, did you? =)
[Snipe] Spade: *sighs* .... so, I guess now that I am back, I can take over again....
* Shell_X runs a scan of Spade
[Snipe] Scan: DNA matches.
[Dias] I think not Spade
[Ripple] NRP: I caught that.  I just dont care.
[Snipe] Spade: I am the President of EarthGov, insect.
[Dias] Snipe here's our leader
[Snipe] ME?!
[Snipe] Sigma: *Snorts*
[Snipe] Spade: SIGMA?!
[Snipe] Spade: DESTROY HIM!
[Gravedigger] Well bzzt bzzt.
[Elayne_Vanguard] No Eearth, no EarthGov gramps
[SOUND]
[Dias] Spade you can do that yourself
[Spirit] [Now this is great...]
* Ripple waits
[Snipe] Spade: *growls*  When Earth returns....you will pay...
[Gravedigger] Waitaminute...
[Snipe] Sigma: Now I'm enjoying this...
[Snipe] .....I'm dead...I'm so dead.
[Dias] But we aren't on earth are we
[Spirit] Sigma did jusy help us liberate this colony... No matter his motives.
* Shell_X sighs
[Snipe] Dog: *howls*
* Garland turns his back to everyone
* Gravedigger leans to Snipe
[Elayne_Vanguard] NO!
[Ripple] NRP: *plays for whom the bell tolls*
[Dias] So not means, my good friend Spade. That you can't control us
[Gravedigger] He referred to him as the EArthGov pres, yet EarthGov's gone, isn't it?
[Spirit] .oO(I don't trust him... But can we attack him after he just helped us?)
* Garland mutters: ....why can't they get it.....?
[Snipe] Yes, Grave, the poor fool has no power
* Gravedigger whaps Snipe
[Ripple] .oO{You NEVER trust Sigma.  Dad learnt that the hard way.  I plan to teach it to Siggy himself.}
[Snipe] .....what are you getting at, Grave?
[Snipe] Sigma: *eyes Ripple as if he heard*
[Gravedigger] WHY did he reffer to himself as the Earthgove pres rathe then the Pres of the entire Earth?
[Snipe] ....Because EarthGov is Earth basically.  
* Ripple glares at Sigma, eyes still blazing
[Snipe] EarthGov is the offical name of Earth.
* Garland keeps muttering to himself and looking down
[Ripple] NRP: *Cuts hatred with a spork*
[Snipe] Sigma: .... hatred, young one, is great fuel.  Use it well.
[Dias] Well are we going to stand here or?
* Elayne_Vanguard actually spits at Spade's feet and walks away
[Snipe] .....what do you mean Dias?
* Elayne_Vanguard walks to Garland
[Snipe] Spade: *grips cain*
[Ripple] NRP: AHHH CAIN!
* Elayne_Vanguard turns back
[Gravedigger] There's something more here, can't you people feel it?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Bye Gramps
[Dias] Well it's fun and everything but..Don't we have stuff to do?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dad... are you okay?
* Ripple stops glaring, and relaxes a bit
[Snipe] ...I notice it Grave.  It's like a puzzle of mysteries that have gone on for nearly a century...like all the puzzles so far are about to fall into place.
* Shell_X finds a place to sit down on the ground and tries to juggle his grav-a-rangs almost ignoring the situation
[Gravedigger] NRP: "HAS THE WHOLE WORLD GONE MAD?" "Yes." "...Oh"
[Snipe] Spade: Well, lets all go to the Fury.
* Dias looks at Spade
[Ripple] NRP: BRB maelstroms here
[Dias] You have no control over us
* Dias walks into their shuttle
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dad?
[Snipe] NRP: *is planning on ending all dangling plot lines wiht anniversary*
* Gravedigger stops Snipe
[Snipe] ....*Walks to the shuttle, followed by Sigma*
[Snipe] ....what, Grave?
* Elayne_Vanguard shakes Garland
[Gravedigger] Was Spade ON the fury with us?
* Dias powers it up
[Snipe] Sigma: *orders his men to follow the fury in the ships and steps on the shuttle, that lazy grin
[Snipe] No, Grave...how he got here, we'll have to ask.
* Garland ignores everything.
[Snipe] Spade: I have my own personal ships...2...I used them to get here, Grave.
* Elayne_Vanguard pulls Garland onto the shuttlee
[Dias] All aboard?
* Spirit gets on the shuttl
[Gravedigger] Hey you, Mr. Prez guy, not talking to you, don't need your input
* Ripple steps on the shuttle
* Garland doesn't budge, but steps on
* Snipe watches Spade get on the shuttle, him and Grave still outside
[Elayne_Vanguard] Yuppers
* Elayne_Vanguard stares at Garland
* Shell_X walks over to Snipe
[Snipe] Sigma: *Sits behind Ripple*
[Elayne_Vanguard] Aree you okay?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Can you hear me dad?
[Snipe] ....Shell....?
[Garland] ...I'm fine.
* Elayne_Vanguard sighs with reelief
* Ripple grips armrests, crushing it partially
[Gravedigger] I don't like it, damnnit.
* Spirit eyes Sigma uneasily
* Dias yells at Snipe from inside 1"Get your asses on!"
[Snipe] ....something's up, but I think if we keep these two close to us...we'll figure out the bigger picture.
[Shell_X] I've got a rather unscientific feeling about this situation
[Snipe] ....we all do, Shell...
* Gravedigger gets on mumbling all the way
* Snipe steps on
[Dias] All aboard?
[Snipe] ....first thing's first is to decode that journal Sigma ruined
[Snipe] Sigma: ... oops?
* Snipe the colonist head off to shuttles of their own
* Dias pulls it out of his pocket and tosses it to Snipe
* Snipe grabs the wet journal
[Elayne_Vanguard] NRP: I hope it don't turn out to be exactly like the one in my pocket...
* Dias takes the shuttle up and heads for the fury
* Gravedigger takes out a cigar and lights it.
[Snipe] NRP: No, it's a journal from this planet
* Gravedigger exhales cigar smoke.
* Gravedigger hacks
[Snipe] .....That's Grave for you
* Shell_X stares out a window
[Snipe] Spade: CAN THIS THING HURRY UP?!
[Elayne_Vanguard] NRP; Good...
[Snipe] Sigma: ..... *grins at everyone*
[Gravedigger] Gah...I'll never get used to these things...
[Dias] Spade I advise you shut your pie hole
* Ripple just sits there, letting his anger bubble
* Elayne_Vanguard stands and appraoches Spade
[Elayne_Vanguard] Why?
* Dias pulls into the fury hanger bay
[Snipe] Spade: Begone, insect.  I have no further use of your kind.  The real Death Star and the ones I made are all failures.
* Gravedigger *under his breath* "1Trap...one big ugly trap..."
* Dias lands and hets out
[Elayne_Vanguard] How did you know...
[Elayne_Vanguard] All along you knew who I was...
[Snipe] Spade: I know more  *takes a puff of his cigar* than most and I am smarter than any man alive.
* Snipe frowns, taking resentment at that
* Garland clenches the armrest of his seat, bending it.
[Elayne_Vanguard] I find that hard to believe...
[Gravedigger] IF you're a man...
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...By the way you act...
* Dias stands outside the shuttle
[Snipe] Spade: .... we'll see.  The game's just begun.  And Endgame is far off.
[Snipe] Session Ends
