[Ender`] A Xenocide, by the way it looks
[Ace_Hunter] Hmmm... rather massive destruction for one explosion
[Phantasma] Whatever weapon did that... I want one.
[Sirus] find the guilty party
[Red] This is why I had us stay out of this war with the Tsiv.
[Red] . . . the guilty part is the galaxy's BIGGEST empire.
[Ender`] I can't believe this has been happening...
[Red] Yeah, well, it's been going on for a fifty or so years.
[Riptide] [And what can a small group like us do about the Tsivrixsh...]
[Ender`] I know that..but this. This is bad
[Red] Exactly, Rip.
* Red flies over the spot of the base that the Hunters were in . . . large crater in the ground
[Ender`] We've already destroyed one of they're trading stations.

[Ender`] NRP: Ohh..like a radiation sensor or something that the explosion gave off
[Phantasma] *sigh* Borring...
* Ender` enhances the scanner a lil bit and walks around looking/scanning
[Red] Don't be so sure.  I would think the Tsiv would hold this planet with great interest.  There could be a battle ship in space.
* Riptide walks around, lacking a scanner, just using his eyes
* Red glances at Ace
[Red] So, you know what happened on this planet, yet?
[Phantasma] *perks up*  That sounds better.

[Ender`] Think it's possible that we could get get any DNA from his bones?
[Red] Yes, and we can run it through the scanner
[Orlonre] Ai'uhh... Ai woul'help, but I kina dont'laik de'dead.
[Red] It's designed for that.
[Riptide] [Well do it!]
[Ender`] I could possible recreate what he looks like
* Red turns to Sirus
[Red] Go into the ship and grab a body bag
[Red] I want to take this skeleton to the Red Beard.
[Ender`] Should I try Red?
[Red] No, just get his DNA
[Ace_Hunter] How would you do that... uh, Ender, right?
* Sirus toddles along maybe accomplishing something
[Red] Sirus, go to the shuttle and get a body bag.
[Ender`] Part of my brain is a computer. So my optical eyes would work. 
[Orlonre] 'on't we'onli need'a piece'of it?

[Red] . . . *names flash across the screen, stopping on Ripple briefly and moving on*
* Ace_Hunter fires a beam at the skeleton
[Red] *it flickers and stops on Diamondback*
[Ender`] Can you pull up the stats on him?
[Red] Is it. . .?  *it starts back up*
[Red] . . . no, wasn't that fellow.
[Ender`] Oh...

[Red] . . . was an Enhanced, like the other two names we saw.
[Ender`] Not sure tho..
[Ace_Hunter] Hmmm...
[Phantasma] *shrugs* He's dead.  That's enough.

[Red] Well, he's still not passed out yet.
[Orlonre] De'Geek is dying.

* Red picks Sirus up
[Red] . . . man, that grass tore him up
* Ender` rips off one of Red's sleeves and presses it against Sirus's wound
* Red carries Sirus onto the shuttle
[Orlonre] NRP: Orlonre is the decendant of The Crocodile Hunter!
[Red] . . . are you still pissed over that grass stain?
[Ender`] That should help with the bleeding..
[Ender`] What are you talking about Red. 
* Red leans Sirus against the hull and points at them
[Red] One of you fly.
[Ender`] I can't fly.

[Red] Scan: Sirus is flooded by chemicals
* Riptide emerges from the back
* Ace_Hunter begins boosting into atmosphere a bit over the performance standards for this type of shuttle
[Ender`] Shit..Red.
[Riptide] [D... Did I miss anything?]
[Red] . . . Sirus stopped the grass, but is dying
[Red] Don't know if he'll make it
* Sirus opens one eye for a bit.......
[Red] Alright, the shot woke him up
* Red grins
[Red] I THINK he'll make it
[Ender`] He's got more chemicals in his body than a turkey has stuffing in it during Thanksgiving
[Sirus] im glad i could make my "one contribution"
[Red] . . . wha?!  Don't speak like that Sirus
[Red] . . . you never did tell me why you joined the pirates.
[Ender`] Red. We need to get rid of those chemicals!
* Ender` tosses him some shots that'll neutralize some of the dangerous chemicals
[Orlonre] .... 'if he don't make'it, we cremate'him, make him into a rass'bomb, make a second contrii'bute.
* Red begins to inject the shots
* Ender` looks for Bio's Antidotes
[Sirus] ......i think this is ........goodbye
[Red] . . . Sirus?!
[Ace_Hunter] You know, I don't think you're supposed to mix dosages

[Ender`] Shut up!

[Red] Talon didn't make that grass
* Ace_Hunter docks on the ship
[Ender`] Snap out of it
[Orlonre] Dahm'it no!
* Red grabs Ender's hand and slams it against the hull

[Orlonre] Bluh-ie hun
* Red opens the door to the Red Beard
[Orlonre] ....hun'tahs! Dey'make me studda Ai'm sew mahd!
[Ender`] Think about this. There was a crater. Grass in the center. Did you ever think that the grass was set as a trap for anyone that searched for them? Hmmm..

[Xrileshr] I'm not certain the adjectives are appropriate, but the fact remains that they are in the cell.
[Avalon] Glad to make your accquaintanve
[Admiral_Drake] And will stay there, until tomorrow/.
[Xrileshr] What happens tomorrow?
[Xrileshr] I mean, simply procedure accounts for their release? I'm assuming they will be released
[Admiral_Drake] . . .the traitor who has caused us so much grief will be executioned, as the laws command.
[Admiral_Drake] The others will be free Janurary 1st, 2200.
[Avalon] traitor or traitors?
* Xrileshr raises eyebrow, 1"Could you clarify to me who this traitor is?"
[Admiral_Drake] Traitor, Avalon.
[Admiral_Drake] Slasher.
[Xrileshr] NRP: Wait, I don't have an eyebrow to raise... Change it to "looks surprised"
[Xrileshr] Ahh... I recall from the records I was allowed to view that he was proven guilty as a traitor... I also recall that he was an original Hunter... An odd canidate for a traitor, wouldn't you say?
[Admiral_Drake] Any thing else I can clarify for you?
[Admiral_Drake] . . . in the past, he caused trouble also.
* Mirri comes out of the trance she seemed to be in, thinking about the events of the last few days
[Admiral_Drake] Slash killed him once, but he seems to be back.
* Shell_X keeps typing, working on a program
[Avalon] NRP: what year is it anyway?
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: 2199
[Mirri] Oh, um... Did I miss anything important?
[Xrileshr] The Hunters were never a great interest to me. I'm sure that I could have learned that data from what intelligence gathered if I wanted to.
[Xrileshr] Slasher will be executed, tomorrow, I believe? And tomorrow, the others will be released.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . they aren't worthy to study THAT much.  Neither is the current Hunters.  Seeing as your the only remaining bunch.
[Admiral_Drake] No, today is December 17th.  
[Admiral_Drake] Heh *Says sadly* Christmas is right around the corner.
[Avalon] We are quite disorriented
[Xrileshr] Unfortunetly for that fact, the Ovevri Tsil'xro Tvaxsh's use for you diminishing... Perhaps if you considered running specific missions for us...
[Admiral_Drake] No mission you few could carry out.  As Sigma has agreed.  *points to the shadows in the corner*
* Shell_X finishes the program and executes it
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: *takes a step out of the shadows, looking threatening*
[Xrileshr] Christmas... A religious holiday for humans that has been most secularized, I believe. A sort of festive gathering, if I'm not mistaken...
[Avalon] NRP: whats the deal with the sigma?
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: What's HE rambling about!?
* Xrileshr turns to Sigma, 1"Greetings, Sigma. I, of course, recognize you, but didn't know you were alive until recently. Tsilso Xrileshr. I am Xrileshr.
[Avalon] I remember how Christmas used to be.....
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Sigman joined them in Anniversary due to the fact the empire is hurting reploids.  IT's an uneasy alliance, one that could easily be broken at any time
[Xrileshr] NRP: SIggy was a bad guy, but we didn't kill him this time around in TGC. He joined up with us
* Ariel sighs, thinking back to her "childhood"
* Mirri tenses slightly, but knows the situation
[Xrileshr] *to Sigma and Drake* I'd be curious to know what you plan to do, now that the Hunters are so few and your fleet is steadily being beaten back.
* Shell_X walks from his station to a chair and sits down
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: *Walks past Mirri and stands next to her* I only have three ships left.  And the Fury as the forth.  We're not really fit for operation unless we can start up the Alliance.  Which won't happen.
[Xrileshr] My offer for you working for the Ovevri Tsil'xro Tvaxsh remains. It would make more of a difference than random strikes before your destruction would.
[Avalon] NRP: what are you exactly Xrileshr?
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: *Sneers* And the rookie talks?
* Shell_X spins in his chair and sends it rolling toward the elevator
* Admiral_Drake grabs Shell
[Admiral_Drake] Whoa there.
* Avalon silently dreads Sigma
[Xrileshr] NRP: Tsivrixsh Tsolevajra (Tsivrixsh Prime) species. Founding race of the Tsivrixsh Empire. My bio should be up sometime
[Shell_X] What?
[Admiral_Drake] We're having a meeting.  I could use your ideas, Shell
[Admiral_Drake] All of you
[Mirri] NRP: AFK...
[Shell_X] About what?
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: *sneers* From these two?  Why call in the Ensigns?  They know nothing.
[Admiral_Drake] We need to plot out our course of action
[Xrileshr] I do not speak for Avalon, but I most certainly have experience far beyond the Hunters... My knowledge of the Tsivrixsh Empire is a prize and great advantage to you.
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: Surely.
* Shell_X sighs and rolls his chair back to the computer
[Avalon] I have experience           not exactly as extensive in battle but experience none the less.
[Xrileshr] I have suggested a course of action to you, but it seems to me that you do not want to take it, so...
[Admiral_Drake] Oh?  Care to tell us in what, Avalon?
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: I'll think on it.
[Avalon] In history      in people        in the way things work
[Xrileshr] Mostly we would have you coordinate attacks that would help our resistance. Rather than fighting the empire directly, which is suicide for you.
[Xrileshr] Beyond that, I would suggest you lie low and stay out of the Empire's way.
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: Charming, no?
[Admiral_Drake] . . . I se.
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: *laughs at Slasher getting burnt'
[Xrileshr] Unfortunetly, as Sigma has stated, without an alliance, a very large alliance I'd note, you cannot face the Tsivrixsh Empire and hope to survive long. Though Xevil and the Hunters are dead, they will not forget their interest in you... 
[Admiral_Drake] Well, anything else we should discuss?
* Shell_X checks to see if his search program has gotten any new information
[Xrileshr] I assume you'll lie low until you reach a decision?
[Admiral_Drake] Of course.
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: ~~~~~~~~~~'lo? Hello? You getting this you lazy asses?
[Xrileshr] If there's any knowledge you'd like from me, you can ask it. If the resistance does not take the course of action I suggest, my presence may not be long here... I would like your forces to be able to hold off the Tsivrixsh Empire, to give our resistance time; therefore I'm willing to help you in anyway I can
[Admiral_Drake] . . .?
* Admiral_Drake walks over to the comm
* Shell_X turns to stare at the viewscreen since his program hasn't turned anything up
[Admiral_Drake]  What? Who is this?
* Xrileshr moves past the stationary Mirri next to Drake and the comm.
[Avalon] enter mysterious voice
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: Mysterious voice?  Who IS this?
[Xrileshr] You're talking to Admiral Drake, you realize? You ought to answer to him...
* Mirri stands there, listening and taking in all the information
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: Admiral DRAKE can kiss my ass - -- OUF!  QUIT SHOVING!  I GOT THE COMM!
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: *fighting can be heard and a loud bonk*
[Xrileshr] ... This isn't normal, I'd hope...
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: Who in the world?

[Admiral_Drake] . . . yes?
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: Lean closer to the comm.

[Xrileshr] ... You do realize that's an absurb request?
[Mirri] Ja... Jared...?
* Admiral_Drake leans closer
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: THIS IS COMMODORE SNIPE, YOU IDIOT!
* Admiral_Drake falls back from the loud volume
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: *Bonks cna be heard* Hold off BJ!
* Mirri runs to the comm
[Mirri] Jared! Chris! Are you all right!?
[Xrileshr] If he truly is, then apparently the Hunter's aren't as dead as you thought they were, Drake.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . IT's fake, gotta be.
[Xrileshr] We'll see.
* Mirri apparently doesn't care
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: *clears throat* Oh, hell --- DIAS!  *hits*
* Avalon is intrigued
[Xrileshr] *to the comm.* What Hunters are with you?
[Ariel] *smiles* We've always beaten the odds before.
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Let me see. . . Curly, Moe . . .
[Xrileshr] ... There are no Hunters by that name... That I know of
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: *fighting can be heard over the comm*
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: It's called sacarsm
* Mirri shakes her head
* Xrileshr to Drake, 1"Would their constent fighting amongst themselves indicate that they are fake?"
[Admiral_Drake] Er, no
[Mirri] If anything, Xri, it would prove that they ARE the Hunters...
[Xrileshr] A human joke, I would suppose then...
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Alright, we're all here . . . except . . .Avatar.
* Shell_X hacks into the comm channels from his station
[Mirri] Ava... Ryan? What happened...?
[Admiral_Drake] Death Star: He fought bravely ---- 
[Shell_X] What happened to him?
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: *shoves DS back over the comm*
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: He gave his life up to save us.
[Xrileshr] Avatar... One of your "enhanced" members...
[Ariel] DS? o.O
[Mirri] Ryan...
[Admiral_Drake] Death Star: Good morning, Ariel, if I'm not mistaken.
[Xrileshr] Valiant and the honorable thing to do.
[Ariel] Hey, nice to hear from you again commander!
[Admiral_Drake] Death Star: Heh, thanks.
[Mirri] This may sound selfish and off-topic, but... how are Chris and Andrea...?
* Shell_X checks his program again
* Avalon is now completely flooded with unfamiliar names
[Xrileshr] So, the leader of the originally Hunters is alive as was claimed.
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Are right here listening in
[Xrileshr] It will be very interesting to meet the man who defeated Tsavra, or, as you would know him, the Elder and Xevil.
[Admiral_Drake] Sigma: Darn.
[Admiral_Drake] Death Star: Not alone, whoever ya are.
[Mirri] *quietly* Yesss...
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Anyway, this comm. is about to give out
[Xrileshr] Of course not, but the position of leadership is a rather important position.
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: We're on the planet in grid point 000.432.000 sector 9.302 gamma system.
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Nameless planet, I think
* Xrileshr turns to Drake, 1"It would be unwise to give them our location. Instead, sending a small ship to meet them and see if they are truly the hunters would be wiser."
*** X2 (wiendigo@rc-196.netonecom.net) has joined #taw
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: OH, SURE
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: DON'T believe me
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: *Rattles off trivia data only Snipe would know
[Xrileshr] It's merely the safety of our ships I worry about. You should realize that the request is perfectly resonable.
[Ariel] o.O
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Sure, sure.
[Avalon] ok   the procedure and the safety is neccisary
[Admiral_Drake] Snipe: Anyway, co~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Shell_X] In this case, I think we should take the Fury
[Admiral_Drake]  We'll be there tomorrow. *hangs up*
* Admiral_Drake listens to the comm. die
[Admiral_Drake] We'll take the Fury
[Admiral_Drake] It'll be our best bet, as Shell pointed out
[Mirri] Our only choice, now.
[Xrileshr] Unfortunetly, that is true.
[Xrileshr] Luckily, the point they are at is not in or near Tsivrixsh territory. Not to say that will stop a Tsivrixsh attack. In fact, if they picked up on the tranmission, speed is of the essence.
[Xrileshr] That is, if they are not waiting there already for us to take their trap's bait.
[Admiral_Drake] Well, we can't IGNORE it
[Avalon] no choice in the matter
[Xrileshr] And you have no worthy support craft, do to your poor condition. So, the course of action must be taken.
[Shell_X] When are we going to get a cloaking device for the Fury?
[Admiral_Drake] . . . when money's not tight
* Admiral_Drake enters the location
[Admiral_Drake] It'll be sometime tomorrow before we get there
[Xrileshr] I'd suggest you prepare your fighter pilots and combat personal in case we enter battle.
[Admiral_Drake] Of course.
[Avalon] and you know we will.....
[Xrileshr] Have you decided what position I will serve...?
[Shell_X] Um, Xrileshr, can I see the battle from your ship?
[Admiral_Drake] Not yet.
[Shell_X] I mean, if there is one
[Mirri] If you'll excuse me, Admiral, I will begin preparing the fighters.
[Xrileshr] Why would you wish to?
[Xrileshr] *to Mirri* If wish, I could instruct your pilots on common Tsivrixsh tactics
[Mirri] That would be quite helpful, Xri.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . Well, dismissed.
* Admiral_Drake is smiling for the first time in ages
[Ariel] Need any help Mirri?
[Admiral_Drake] They're not dead . . . hope is not dead yet.
[Mirri] Sure, Ariel, come on.
[Xrileshr] If it is prudent to take my ship into the battle, then you may accompany me.
* Shell_X reroutes his program to his quarters
* Mirri salutes to Drake, and heads for the elevator
[Xrileshr] If you won't be needing me, I'll accompany Mirri.
* Avalon has nothing to do and wonders off
[Admiral_Drake] Go on.
* Xrileshr moves to follow Mirri
[Admiral_Drake] Tomorrow should be a quick die.  Slasher dies.  The Hunters come back.
[Xrileshr] NRP: A quick die, huh? Good thing Slasher doesn't have a long death coming... It'll be less painful
* Ariel goes along with Mirri
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Day.
* Shell_X moves to his quarters and brings up the search
[Admiral_Drake] Session Ends
