* Snipe stands at the viewport, still recovering from Fear Man's affects.
* Dias leans back at the control panel
* Spirit has fallen asleep at her station
* Shell_X is sitting at his Science Station, petting his lizaroid
* Garland stands in the middle of a large room, a makeshift training room, wood and meta; pillars set up here and there.
* Snipe runs hand through his hair, still thinking about what happened.
[Snipe] Well, I asked you all here for a reason...
[Dias] And that would be
* Spirit looks up sleepily and yawns quietly.
* Elayne_Vanguard sits, looking out thee window
[Snipe] I personally considering this running a waste of precious time.  We need to come up with some type of plan.
[Dias] Why not find some superior race and get them to join our cause?
[Elayne_Vanguard] Phenixari...
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dad wanted us to go theree...
[Snipe] ....superior races would have been defeated by now
* Snipe whirls at Elayne
* Gravedigger picks his teeth with his sai silently
* Garland 's face contorts, running at the pillar, his body moving faster then his fist, and punches through a metal pillar, the sound resounding in all the rooms around it
[Snipe] And that clone Death Star is DEAD isn't he?!  Lets forget what he wanted.
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...
* Elayne_Vanguard stalks out of the room
* Elayne_Vanguard mouths a curse
[Snipe] Elay----.....
[Dias] Woh..Hey Snipe why not try to find some info on those Motanks
* Snipe clentches fist
* Garland wraps an iced gauss pad around his hand, and heads for the Bridge, passing Elyane
[Garland] ....*looks at Elayne*
* Elayne_Vanguard stops
[Garland] Hey, you okay?
[Elayne_Vanguard] No...
[Snipe] ................waste our time looking for a legend.....forget it, Dias
[Garland] ....What's wrong?
[Snipe] We need to look at the here and now.  Xevil is on our tails, and since we blew up his ship, he'll be pissed.
[Dias] They must still exist
[Elayne_Vanguard] Everything...
* Elayne_Vanguard starts to cry
* Garland half-closes his eyes
[Garland] I know how you feel.....
* Garland kneels to her, and pulls her into a hug
* Elayne_Vanguard sobs
[Snipe] .....Anyway, if you ask me, Paladin's probably right.  Look at us!  Shell's playing with a lizarad, all Spirit does is sleep, Grave annoys us, Elayne runs around crying, Garland's out of it.
[Elayne_Vanguard] Everyone I knew is dead...
[Dias] Yeah and Paladins a jack ass
[Spirit] I resent that remark Snipe...
[Shell_X] Hey!
[Garland] ....Elayne, I'm gonna help you... I don't know how, but I will.
[Snipe] Wipe the drool off your chin, Spirit.
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at him surprised
[Dias] And what about you Snipe, you ain't any better than us
[Spirit] *glares at Snipe*
[Snipe] I never claimed to be, did I?
* Garland looks at Elayne with a smile
[Dias] Not from what I heard
[Shell_X] I have an idea.. if anybody wants to hear it
[Snipe] Did I ask for this job?  NO.  You planted it on me.  So, I will do what I can from here on out and by God, I'm going to give it my best.
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...How...
* Gravedigger doesn't even glance up
[Dias] And we'll do our best
[Gravedigger] Then why don't you step down?
[Garland] I don't know... but untill I know, I'll take care of you.
[Snipe] SO Paladin can take over?  By God no.  You elected me, you're stuck with me.
[Dias] I prefer you over Snipe
* Elayne_Vanguard looks at him, still surprised
[Snipe] ...you perfer me over me?
[Spirit] No one said he was sane.
[Gravedigger] Excuse me, I still don't recall being part of any such bullshit election.
* Shell_X wonders why nobody ever listens to him
[Garland] Now, go down to med bay, Sharlena, my daughter, is there, go on down there.
* Garland stands up
* Snipe flips Grave off
[Snipe] What the hell do you expect from me?  I'm no Death Star!
* Elayne_Vanguard nodds almost dumbly
[Gravedigger] Ooo, I'm so scared. And I'm sure if we were fighting, you'd just freeze up like every other damn time.
* Garland walks in
[Garland] Your right, your not.
* Snipe fists tighten
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Snipe] Screw you Garland.  Who WANTS to be a friggin' dead legend?!
[Garland] Grave, be quiet.
*** Dias (Ender@209.32.248.153) has joined #taw
* Snipe points at Grave
*** Seraphna is now known as Ziranth
[Gravedigger] How about I don't listen to a damn bit of advice you give me?
* Ziranth walks into the room
[Snipe] Well, Mr. Run-Through-The-Friggin'-Forest, I'd like you to see you stand your ground!
[Snipe] NRP: (throws Ziranth out, illegal)
[Ziranth] Um... Sir?
* Ziranth looks at Snipe
[Snipe] NRP: *has thrown Ziranth out*
[Garland] Snipe, I don't care how you feel. We're in a predicament, and DeathStar would want... no EXPECT us to look into ANY way possible to Avenge Earth.
[Gravedigger] I've stood my ground a hell of alot more then you ever have. But I forgot, you came from a perfect home.
[Snipe] ...and how would you know what HE would want?  That's what YOU wnat.  REVENGE.
* Shell_X sits down and sadly stares at the main viewscreen
*** Dias has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Ziranth a technician walks in with a reeport
[Garland] And I don't care what comment you give in responce, I know what I want, I want to AVENGE my friends.
* Dias sighs and relaxes back in his chair
[Ziranth] Sir?
* Snipe ignores Ziranth before he kills him
[Snipe] WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO DO HERE?!
[Garland] DeathStar was my closest friend.... Somehow, I know.
[Ziranth] The Admiral said to report to you or he'd toss me into Space sir...
[Snipe] Drake can kiss my ass!
[Dias] Tossin you into space doesn't sound that bad
[Ziranth] He wanted you to know that there are 1000 men ready to fight sir
[Dias] Snipe would you like me to toss this man out into space?
[Snipe] Bah.  CIVILIANS who are running around fighting don't give me a very good feeling
[Snipe] Go for Dias.  Lets see if his head pops.
[Shell_X] *in a half whisper to himself* Nobody ever listens to me
[Ziranth] And a secondary SU sir
[Gravedigger] All I know is right now I'd rather follow someone like Garland, who KNOWS what the hell he's doing, thruogh the very pits of Hell, rather then some second rate hack like you, Snipe.
[Spirit] Militia... *shudders slightly* That wasn't fun.
[Garland] ....Then.... why not give them some morale?
[Snipe] Forget secondary SUs. If it's Maki, I really don't care.
* Garland steps up
[Ziranth] No sir, actually he sent me since I'm in charge...
[Garland] That's not the right attitude.
* Snipe grabs the tech and throws him out and shuts the door
[Ziranth] Excuse me sir...
* Snipe locks it
* Dias gives up and continues to lean back in his chair
[Snipe] Alright, back to planning.  Like I said, we can't run forever.
[Garland] We're going to die if we don't do something soon, we're dead anyway.
* Ziranth shakes his head and leaves... "Psychopath"
[Snipe] YOU might be dead, at heart, but I am not
*** Ziranth is now known as Seraphna
[Gravedigger] At least the man HAS a heart.
[Snipe] Screw you, Grave.  You're just a shitless, heartless, bastard, you know that?
[Garland] I am nowhere near dead. I have an agenda, and I refuse to die untill I full-fill it. I am not like my father.
[Snipe] Comm: Warning!  Warning!
[Spirit] !
* Garland goes to the com
[Spirit] Wha?
* Snipe hits the comm
[Snipe] What is it computer?
[Dias] That things about as annoying as the one on earth
* Garland looks at Snipe. and thinks to himself.

[Snipe] Computer: .... Battle breaking out in Tsvi space.  Someone's ATTACKING them
* Elayne_Vanguard walks back to the bridge
[Snipe] Oh, sure, FORGET I SAVED YOUR DAMNED LIVES!
[Garland] Grave; Please, he is trying.
[Snipe] ....WHO'S attacking them?
* Shell_X looks up at the computer's message
[Dias] My god someones as dumb as us out there
[Snipe] Computer: I-I don't know!  It's impossible to tell!  It's some great fleet.
* Garland looks at the comm
[Gravedigger] TRYING? I've seen more effort coming from three-toed sloths!
* Elayne_Vanguard knocks on the door, since it is locked
[Garland] ....The enemie of our enemie would in essance make an ally.
[Snipe] ...Grave, you're off duty.  I don't need you dragging us through the mud
[Shell_X] Can you gives us any data on the fleet?
[Snipe] Alright, computer, head for the fight.
* Snipe the Fury jerks forward and enters hyperspace
[Elayne_Vanguard] Hello?
* Snipe flips the lock up, pulls Elayne in, and locks it
[Spirit] Think we found that ally we were looking for? *half smile*
[Snipe] .....what ally?
* Snipe glances at Spirit
[Elayne_Vanguard] Ally?
[Elayne_Vanguard] I mean allie
[Gravedigger] Oh yeah, I forgot, you can't stand to have your feelings hurt. Go home and cry to your mommy. Oh wait, that's right, WE CAN'T!
[Spirit] Well... If they're after the T, then we could use thier help, whoever they are
[Dias] Someones attacking the Tsiv...lets give them a helping hand
[Snipe] ....*blinks* You seemed to have an idea of who they are, Spirit.
[Garland] .....lemme put it this way, The guys attacking the T, can be our comrades in arms for this war if we play our cards right.

[Snipe] ....Hmmmm....I wonder who is doing with Earth type ships?

[Garland] A little trick I learned in the War!
[Snipe] ...right before he offed X, yeah...
[Snipe] Sigma: You're going to crash!
[Elayne_Vanguard] Just another crazy hunter thing

* Ripple raises eyebrow
[Snipe] Colonist: Yeah, I remember that name.  Xevil was boasting about it.
