Spade watched the Hunters step into the limo, Death Star getting sparked as he touched the door. He turned to the person behind him. "Shame our attack failed, but that wasn't the real purpose of the operation, anyway."
Johnson (from Icy Fronts, the person ressurecting Hell) stepped up behind him. "Don't you think they'll be a little suspicious towards us for being so kind, even if it is through EarthGov?"
Spade glanced at him, puffing on his cigar. "Of course. But they'll be too busy with a few of my diversions to notice what was going on here today. Besides, all of them are too stupid to think about it anyway." He turned back to watch the limo driving off. "None of them has ever challenged my mentally. The hunter that destroyed Hell was due to your fault, not mine." Sucking in on the cigar, he turned to Johnson. "Their leader, Death Star, however, does prove to be a great threat to me my operation. Not by intellegence, no, but my willpower and resolve. The smartest out of them is probably Dominator, and he's nothing more than a reploid who is looking for justice. I enjoyed sentencing him to the Wastelands."
Johnson drew back some and frowned. "I still don't see why we're trying to kill Death Star."
Spade, still staring at him, blinked slowly and pulled the cigar from his mouth, looking at him like he was a child. The way he spoke didn't make Johnson feel any better either. "I just said he was a threat to me. He will have to be killed. But I have plans with him that go beyond killing him. If I play my cards right, perhaps he'll be useful in bringing about the downfall of all reploids."
Johnson waved his hand toward the building. "Why I take it we're here, correct?"
Spade nodded and turned to the building. "Yes." By then the people inside were being evacuated for what seemed to be a virus break out, to them. Huffing and puffing, the last of them were gone and Spade snapped his fingers at the huge moving vans that were pulling up. Men leaped out and jogged towards the building, entering inside.
". . . What could be so important about a few old robots?" asked Johnson. Spade glanced at him.
"One day, you'll find out. Until then, watch and learn. I plan on creating a plan so brilliant, no one can outsmart me. No one has before, why should they begin to now?" Spade harshly spoke, glancing as huge boxes were being put into the vans, and fake robots being placed back inside. He glanced at Johnson carefully. "Did you retrieve the reploid like I asked?"
"Yes sir, we have the reploid. He was dead when we found him, dead upon teleporting away from the Hunters when they were fighting The Elder and Crucifixtion over Wily's old weaponary. Which, uh, we seem to be doing now ourselves."
Spade nodded. "Yes, but what they don't know is the power Dr. Albert Wily put into each robot. But I won't go into it here. Best to remain quiet. Did the reploid check out what I told you to look for?"
Johnson nodded slowly. "Yes, it did. Not as good, obviously copied, but it should suit the purpose."
"Excellent," Spade smiled, holding Wily's old diary of plans in his hand, retrieved from the location of Wily's last base. . . where he died. The reploid he captured, Hack, proved most useful in placing together that puzzle.
Hack was also the one who tipped Wiendigo to look right where to look to find out Hell was being rebuilt. Clever. Hack was also the one, so he said, following the fight of X and Zero and was near Ground Zero when it went off. * - (See The Final Battle, Hack is the one not referring to as Doc, but another.)
"Didn't he say he was created by Hacker Man, a robot, sir?" asked Johnson.
Spade nodded. "Cran's greatest fear was that. He was the first to do it, and probably not the lost. Certainly not the last. The reploid we have now is proof of that." Johnson looked confused, but didn't question further.
The two stepped away from the building as the men were finishing their jobs. "So, what now?"
Spade grinned at him. "Now, we begin the game."
-Act One- Execution
[Admiral_Drake] Time Chart: December 18th
[Admiral_Drake] Location: Fury
[Admiral_Drake] GM: In the room is a bunch of seats, lined up in the back of it. In front of it is a huge idention of another room, with a door on the right side of it. On the left wall is a door exiting and on the right wall is a door exiting. The captured Hunters are led in by the RIGHT door by Avalon and Dominator's CORRECT character.

[Admiral_Drake] Take a seat, Sharlena.
* Avalon aids with the leading
* Sharlena smiles at Drake
[Sharlena] Aye Sir.
* Sharlena takes a seat thats not saved by anyone or too crowded
[Admiral_Drake] - - - Xrileshr, place the Hunters on the seats, unbind them but leave the collars on.
[Gravedigger] 6*now in normal form*1 "How humilatin'..."
* Xrileshr nods and shows them to their seats; once they sit down, he unbinds them save their ocllars
[Xrileshr] collars
[Spectre] Sure you can't get rid of the collars too? I've got a hell of a neckache...
[Admiral_Drake] - - - Avalon and Xrileshr, take a seat also. Where is Paladin?
[Admiral_Drake] Sorry, Spectre, hate to have you try anything. *Smiles sadly*
* Avalon wanders over to an empty seat
* Spectre shrugs and crosses her legs, waiting
* Gravedigger whistles
* Xrileshr walks by Avalon to his seat and mutters, 1"Interesting, I would say, that Paladin refused to come here... Just for that he was placed in a high security prison."
* Xrileshr sits down
[Admiral_Drake] . . . I see.
* Admiral_Drake shakes head
[Admiral_Drake] Alright, you've all - - - *Watches Index run in and jump down*
* Spectre starts to backhand Gravedigger, but thinks better of it
[Avalon] I didn't know he had a choice Xrilesher
[Admiral_Drake] As I was saying, you've all been brought here for today's execution. We ARE in hyperspace right now.
* Gravedigger cringes, but sees Spec isn't going to hit him and unfurls
[Cheryl] . . .
[Xrileshr] NRP: How many people are here besides us?
[Sharlena] NRP: if it's not too much trouble, could you guys use a different color than black for speach in /me's? My BG's texture is mostly black.
[Admiral_Drake] By the laws, Slasher will be executed. He was after all found guilty by the jury, which later in return ended up being arrested.
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Just us
[Xrileshr] NRP: ... Eh, we all use white for background, so it'd help if you'd change
* Shell_X walks into the room and finds a place to sit down
[Admiral_Drake] Welcome, Shell. Now that we're all here, it's time to begin.
[Xrileshr] NRP: We could do green or red though, I suppose... Don't mind it myself
[Ariel] NRP: I use black too
[Admiral_Drake] Bring out the prisoner.
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Okay, play "Goldfinger mp3"
[Sharlena] NRP: Could you mind dark green maybe?
[Ariel] NRP: How about ctrl-n?
* Sound request: can't find 'goldfinger?-?superman.mp3'
* Xrileshr plays [goldfinger - superman.mp3] - 2890k - [iｲ]
[Ariel] NRP: Does that work?
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Knock that OFF
* Slasher is pushed out by two guards, stumbling in
* Slasher straights up, trying to keep his posture, gazing out at the crowd.
[Spectre] NRP: This music... doesn't really fit...
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Listen -- -
[Sharlena] NRP: Gosh dern it! Use the folders for once! You have any idea how annoying I2 is in session?
[Admiral_Drake] Well, Slasher, any last words?
* Slasher looks at them, bites lip, and shakes head bitterly, and turns to Cheryl
[Slasher] Cheryl! *struggles against the guards*
[Xrileshr] NRP: We were all supposed to listen to it anyway, though
* Spectre looks away as Slasher's eyes pass over her
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: You guys don't HEAR the words, do you!?
[Xrileshr] NRP: I do. I see how it fits
[Spectre] NRP: As do I.
[Slasher] Cheryl! *breaks free of the guards and runs over to her*
* Admiral_Drake raises eyebrow
* Sharlena 's hand shakes at the words Slasher says, knowing her father wouldn't allow this
* Cheryl looks up, a tear running down the side of her face.
* Xrileshr sits perfectly straight and at attention, though inside he is quickly growing more tired of being in the Hunters
[Slasher] I-I'm sorry, Cheryl - - - really.
[Gravedigger] This...this, no, defiently don't like the looks of this...
[Cheryl] I... I... I...
[Spectre] .oO{I've... failed...}
[Slasher] Guards: *detain Slasher and move him to the door in the room in front of the Hunters*
[Slasher] I lo-*is thrown into the room*
[Cheryl] No...... Slasher!
[Slasher] Guards: *seal the door*
* Gravedigger crosses his arms and puts his feet up
* Sharlena fights getting up and trying to stop them from executing slasher.
[Cheryl] No... Don't to this!
* Ariel has to retain Cheryl.
[Admiral_Drake] He was found guilty Cheryl. *looks at the guards, they glance back, and nod*
* Shell_X closes his eyes and shudders
* Spectre buries her head in her hands, crying slightly, all hope lost. (NRP: Good old pessimistic Spectre.)
[Xrileshr] And then we are here for what, admiral?
[Admiral_Drake] To witness that the execution went through, as by law.
[Spectre] .oO{This many of us...? Something's... wrong...}
[Ariel] Is an execution really nessisary Admiral?
[Sharlena] *wispers to herself* A Barbaric law, if I were asked.
[Admiral_Drake] Necessary. If the young lady wishes to leave *nods head at Cheryl* allow her.
[Xrileshr] Would you care to refresh my memory as to how executions are performed by your standards?
*** X2 (wiendigo@rc-123.netonecom.net) has joined #taw
[Admiral_Drake] We'll eject Slasher into hyperspace where he'll be ripped to shreds.
[Cheryl] You can't do this! You can't!!! *tears running freely down her face*
* Shell_X thinks and begins looking through his data pad for the exact laws in this circustance
* Avalon doesnt protest because he is afraid to be kicked out having no where else to go
* X2 enters from the door on the left wall
[Spectre] I see the US Constitution doesn't matter anymore... But why would it, considering this isn't the US anymore...
[Admiral_Drake] US consitution fell out of play in EarthGov.
* X2 nods
[Shell_X] ... creul & unusual
* X2 backs out again
[Sharlena] .....U.S.? What's that?
[Xrileshr] You ought to remember that your courts and laws have proven him guilty of being a traitor; a severe offense in your eyes I'd think... and in Tsivrixsh eyes... *broods over the last line*
[Avalon] they havent used that old "scroll" for ages
*** X2 (wiendigo@rc-123.netonecom.net) has left #taw
[Admiral_Drake] Alright, lets begin
* Admiral_Drake sound Drake-speech.mid
* Sound request: can't find 'drake-speech.mid'
[Admiral_Drake SOUND]
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Hee hee
[Sharlena] NRP: *snickers*
[Spectre] NRP: Good one.
* Admiral_Drake points at the wall and a viewscreen flips on, Slasher facing away from them, bound and unable to move
[Admiral_Drake] Alright, Slasher, are you ready?
* Gravedigger pulls his hood over.
[Slasher] . . . *pause* Does it matter?
[Spectre] *quietly* This isn't happening... This can't be happening... I... I'm sorry, Slasher...
[Sharlena] .......I wonder..... isn't EarthGov....dissolved though, as Earth is....
[Xrileshr] An unhonorable death... A warrior deserves to die better...
[Gravedigger] Sooo not watching this....
[Cheryl] Slasher... no... this can't be real... it can't be...
[Admiral_Drake] I presume it doesn't. Goodbye, Slasher, may God have mercy on your soul.
* Admiral_Drake hits the button
* Slasher the hanger door in front of Slasher slowly opens
[Xrileshr] *to Sharlena* EarthGov is dissolved and Earth controlled by the Tsivrixsh Empire now... but this ship still uses her laws and is technically EarthGov territory itself
[Spectre] NO!
[Slasher] . . . *pause* See you in hell
*** Maestro (Kirameki@CDR6-99.accesscable.net) has joined #taw
[Slasher] NRP: You have to wait, Maest
* Spectre flies out of her chair and leaps for Drake, caught by guards in mid-leap
* Slasher is pulled and sucked out of the hanger and instantly ripped to shreds out in hyperspace, vanishing form sight
* Sharlena looks at Xrileshr
[Cheryl] No! SLASSHEEEEERR!
*** Slasher has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Spectre] NO! D... DAMMIT!
* Shell_X bows his head
[Avalon] I never thought it would actually happen but it did
* Admiral_Drake flips the viewscreen off and turns to the Hunters.
[Sharlena] ......Makes me wish this were parnel, the Ninalue don't believe in capitol punishment.
* Xrileshr bows head and whispers something in Tsivrish; a kind of prayer/chant thing
[Admiral_Drake] Now, it's time we talked.
[Cheryl] No... no... *collapses to the ground*
* Spectre thrashes against the guards, but gives up finally, knowing it's pointless to do anything to Drake, and slumps
[Xrileshr] Capital punishment is right, in my eyes at least, should the person be guilty of a great enough offense
[Admiral_Drake] You two *jabs finger at Spectre and Grave* tried to break the laws and refused to aid me when you know I wanted to help. You even considered me one of the traitors
[Admiral_Drake] Index: *smirks*
[Gravedigger] Screwed....so screwed....
[Spectre] We broke the laws in an attempt to prove the innocent innocent.
[Admiral_Drake] I know I'm not Snipe, BUT you should have followed my command.
[Avalon] We have hell for the real "capitol punishment"
[Admiral_Drake] And you proved him GUILTY.
[Sharlena] ....But to send a person to Heaven, or Hell, without letting them amend for their sins, is.....wrong.
[Spectre] So it backfired...
* Ariel stands against the wall, not needing to hold back Cheryl now...
[Xrileshr] NRP: They did? I thought they just didn't prove he was innocent.. there's a difference
[Admiral_Drake] I want you guys to trust me, but you can't continue to throw off my orders.
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: No, they broke rules
* Spectre sighs, having no response
[Admiral_Drake] I want you back on duty, I really do.
[Admiral_Drake] Index: *frowns*
* Avalon flinches at the thought of being kicked out
[Xrileshr] I'd hope their sentence would be the revoke of their ranks and a court marshel, rather than an execution
[Gravedigger] After what you just did Drakey, you can fucking go to hell. Command like yours is Nazi rule.
* Shell_X stands up and walks out of the room
* Admiral_Drake sighs
[Ariel] *sigh* I miss the commander...
[Admiral_Drake] Xril, remove Grave to the cells
[Admiral_Drake] Take Spectre with them
[Sharlena] ....Drake I trust you, but somethings cannot stand for a punishment that doesnot fit the crime.
* Admiral_Drake walks off rapidly
[Xrileshr] NRP: You guys do realize Drake is in the right here? No one proved Slasher wasn't guilty, and for all we know he may have been
*** Admiral_Drake is now known as Index
[Xrileshr] We're dismissed then?
* Index stands up from his seat
[Index] Looks like it, Xril
* Spectre remains in silence
* Index walks off
[Avalon] the only thing to do is wander off and ponde rthis
[Gravedigger] Guys, it's been real, let's all do this again real soon, shal lwe?
* Sharlena brushes her hair behind her ear and slowly walks off
[Ariel] I always knew he'd be killed by friendlies... -.-
[Xrileshr] Hopefully he will die better in his next life...
* Sharlena sips her coffee as she walks down the corridors
* Xrileshr stands up
[Xrileshr] *to the prisoners* I will now take you to your cells, by Drake's order
[Avalon] I didn't know you believed in reincarnation Xril
[Spectre] Yeah yeah, whatever... *apparently thinking about something else*
* Ariel helps Cheryl up and takes her to her quarters where she can be alone...
[Gravedigger] Hey Shrill, Zil, Nill, whatever your name is, how about you kiss your boss' ass some more and jsut do your fricking job, kay?
*** Cheryl (Avalon@CDR6-103.accesscable.net) has left #taw
[Xrileshr] What you might call the Tsivrixsh religion has it that those who live honorably will return for a new life. Death in battle, therefore, is not the end.
* Xrileshr takes them toward their cells, motioning for Avalon to accompany them
[Gravedigger] NRP: #cell ?
[Xrileshr] (to help Xrileshr take them to their cells, not to go in a cell, of course)
* Avalon indeed follows
[Index] NRP: No, here
[Avalon] I see the Tsiv as much like the vikings of long ago
[Xrileshr] Gravedigger, I was forced to become a member of this poor example of a "team" and at least I abide by its rules.
* Spectre walks in silence, thoughts elsewhere
[Sharlena] NRP: BRB
[Xrileshr] Your definition of discipline and order is nothing sort of doing whatever you please and feel is "right" whenever you please. No follow me.
* Xrileshr heads to the cells
* Xrileshr motions for them to enter the cells
[Xrileshr] no=know
[Gravedigger] No, you leap up to whoever says "Jump" pal, I know your kind. The Hunters stick together, we don't bend over for some jackass that says to.
* Shell_X has moved to the lounge and is just standing an staring out the window
* Spectre steps in, ignoring Grave's ranting, and sits in a corner, still thinking
* Gravedigger gets into his cell
[Xrileshr] And then why is my kind winning the war? *locks the cell doors*
[Index] Bubba: *sits in a corner, blanket covering him, obviously mad*
* Avalon shivers
[Xrileshr] I would appreciate it if you wouldn't drag me into your own petty feuds between your own kind.
* Spectre glances up. 1"That guy really liked Slasher... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to throw up."
[Gravedigger] Wars waver pal, and I sure as hell hope when it does again, you're squished when the rest of you Nazi bastards fall.
[Xrileshr] And you are so great a judge on our kind? I don't agree with the war, you realize. Just like your planet has had governments, like the Nazis, that it hates, so have we. But, I would much rather be with my kind then yours. Good bye, now. *leaves*
[Spectre] When are you gonna learn not to piss off the talkers, Grave...
[Index] NRP: *Waits for Av to follow him*
[Gravedigger] Yeah, just wait till I get out of this cell and kick that high-and-mighty ass...
[Avalon] ah thats what your waiting for
* Avalon departs
[Spectre] Quit complaining. You're stuck here for now, and there isn't a damn thing we can do about it...
* Index walks in a few moments later, covered in the shadows, hidden from the cameras, the guard not around
* Index places a device down to block all recorders and listening to objects.
[Index] Well, well, I must say, this is quite amusing.
[Index SOUND]
[Spectre] I knew it was you from the start.
* Index shrugs
[Index] I figured you did.
[Index] However, you don't know how to play the game like I do.
[Spectre] What do you want? To torture us with your pointless words?
[Index] I was the traitor all along, and I merely let Slasher take the fall. And you idiots PUT him in here.
* Shell_X flickers in silently behind Index
[Index] Perhaps, so you'll know how badly you failed
[Index] GM: A shield stops shell and he fails
[Spectre] Ragh, when I get outta here, your ass is grass...

* Sharlena walks around the Fury, slightly bored

* Gravedigger stands facing Index, arms crossed
[Index] Bubba: *stands up, blanket falling off of him*

* Index reaches over and flips the force field on
[Index] I think not, Admiral.

[Spectre] And the truth comes out... I'm assuming we're still under arrest for breaking the law...
[Index] Drake: 'Course not
[Slasher] Well, you see, when I was thrown into the room, X2 pulled me out and told me Drake's plan. I naturally agreed.

[X2] He kinda blew up.

* X2 hangs his head
* Elayne_Vanguard walks in
[Paladin`] NRP: No, we just like using "NRP:"
* Admiral_Drake sighs, holding the body
* Diamondback scans Sharlena's vital statistics. Nothing.

[Spectre] NRP: I did it again...
[Xrileshr] NRP: see=she
* X2 turns sighing, signalling the medics to head back
[Ariel] NRP: Which song?
* Elayne_Vanguard yawns...
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: After death again
[Elayne_Vanguard] I got a call to the bay... what's wrong?
[Admiral_Drake] X2 . . . could you . . . take her to the morgue?
[Paladin`] . . . unnecessary. Somebody should have been watching Index before he got away.
* Elayne_Vanguard sees Sharlena
[X2] Yeah, I will
[Elayne_Vanguard] Shar!
[Spectre] [I'm... sorry, Sharlena...]
* X2 takes her from Drake
[Xrileshr] I solemnly hope that this extravegent way of capturing Index was neccessary. It has cost us... If you knew he was guilty, why not capture him?
* Elayne_Vanguard rushes over to her
[Ariel] NRP: Ooh... Good song... *loves U7*
[Admiral_Drake] I didn't
[Spectre] [Because our loudmouthed Admiral forgot to watch him...]
[Elayne_Vanguard] What happened?
[Gravedigger] S'not like we didn't try, Drake.
[Admiral_Drake] I took a gamble on Slasher not being guilty.
[Admiral_Drake] A gamble I got from you and Paladin.
* X2 walks off with Sharlena's body
[Spectre] [Haven't I told you that from the beginning...
*** X2 (wiendigo@rc-114.netonecom.net) has left #taw

* Shell_X flickers as he stares out of the window
* Cheryl follows X2 off...
*** Cheryl (Avalon@CDR6-103.accesscable.net) has left #taw
* Elayne_Vanguard sits down hard
[Admiral_Drake] . . . *punches the wall*
[Admiral_Drake] Well, WHAT do you expect me to say?
[Paladin`] That you're sorry.
* Avalon approaches ShellX
[Xrileshr] Desent and war within owns ranks is much most devestating then an enemy could hope to be... It's happened here, and I hope it won't be the end of the Tsivrixsh Empire...
[Admiral_Drake] God, man, don't you THINK I am?! Why was she even IN here?
[Spectre] [Hell, nothing you say will do any good...]
* Shell_X just keeps staring out the window
* Ariel is silent.
[Paladin`] I don't know. You're in command, as you so extemporaneously proved.
* Elayne_Vanguard suddenly cannot cry and stands
* Avalon wasnt meaning to talk
[Admiral_Drake] - - - *sighs bitterly*
[Spectre] [She was performing her duty as a member of the military, Drake...]
[Admiral_Drake] She wasn't in the military.
[Elayne_Vanguard] Is she really dead Admiral?
[Admiral_Drake] She was a MEDIC for Godsake.
[Xrileshr] Blaming it entirely on one man isn't the way to go. We all failed to protect her in battle. And she failed to realize her limits.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . dead, Elayne.
[Paladin`] What's your point? You're ship, remember? You're responsibility.
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...
[Elayne_Vanguard] "no..."
[Admiral_Drake] Well, who gives a rat's ass what YOU Think Paladin.
[Spectre] [So is Charlotte Carter. But... Ah hell, why bother arguing...]
* Shell_X sighs, mutters something about shuttles and flickers out
* Gravedigger walks off solemnly
* Admiral_Drake steps to the broken controls
[Xrileshr] Continue arguing if you must, but you need to realize that every her is on the same side now that Index is dead, I would hope.
* Avalon wonders what Shell said
* Elayne_Vanguard walks over and puts a hand on Ariel's shoulder
[Admiral_Drake] Our next stop will be to pick up the Hunters. There's nothing more we can do here.
* Ariel sighs...
[Spectre] [...Pick up the Hunters...?]
[Ariel] She was only a kid... She shouldn't have been here...
[Admiral_Drake] They are alive and well, kid.
[Xrileshr] I agree. Perhaps finding them will be able to keep this group alive.
[Paladin`] I hope so. We've decimated our ship, our ranks, and our moral. What's left to do?
[Xrileshr] Or so we believe. We can't be sure it's not a trick yet
[Elayne_Vanguard] So am I....
[Spectre] [At least there is SOME good news today...]
[Paladin`] Screw it, the chance alone is worth it.
* Admiral_Drake suddenly the ship is knocked out of hyperspace.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . what!
[Ariel] I'd risk the chance of a trap to get DS... WHat?!
[Spectre] [What in the name of...!?]
[Xrileshr] An attack, as I feared would happen...
[Elayne_Vanguard] !
[Admiral_Drake] We're not NEAR the planet.
[Shell_X] Comm] What's going on?
[Avalon] We need anything there is to keep the group alive
* Gravedigger comes running back
[Xrileshr] Or something else, but we'll see
[Admiral_Drake] NO where near ity
[Spectre] [Frickin' perfect...]
[Paladin`] "What's left to do?" Why did I have to say that?
[Xrileshr] The journey alone was what I said could be dangeorus
[Admiral_Drake] . . . *brings up the cracked viewscreen and sees an Queen Battle Ship . . . Tsiv style outside
[Gravedigger] Okay, someone tell me what in the hell's up with us stopping in the middle of nowhere...
[Admiral_Drake] . . . My God, we're done for.
[Ariel] Shit!
[Gravedigger] ...eep.
[Admiral_Drake] And thanks to Slasher blowing all our weapons up
[Spectre] [Ah dammit...]
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...
[Elayne_Vanguard] Dang it...
[Xrileshr] ... We all are in a great deal of trouble.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . it's closing in. . . and fast.
[Shell_X] Comm] Hello? Anybody?
* Elayne_Vanguard draws her blaster
[Ariel] Have they... Never mind...
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: ~~~~~~~~`
[Elayne_Vanguard] Then let's be reeady!
[Xrileshr] NRP: Aren't we in the "largest ship in the galaxy"?
[Paladin`] . . . would you all stop pointing out the obvious and do something?
[Spectre] [That blaster isn't gonna do anything, Elayne...]
[Gravedigger] Sooo...anyone got plans for tomorrow? Yeah? Well, you may just wanna cancel 'em...
* Paladin` checks on the weapon controls
[Avalon] Oh well time to figure something out
[Shell_X] NRP: It's also mostly unarmed
[Admiral_Drake] . . . like there isn't enough chaos going around these days.
[Elayne_Vanguard] [Just a way of making a speach bud]
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: Greetings, Hunters.
[Spectre] NRP: Elayne can use telepathy, eh?
[Xrileshr] Prepare for battle or attempt to negotiate a surrender are our only options... I'm afraid I would recommend the latter.

[Admiral_Drake] Slasher: So sue me.
[Admiral_Drake] Comm: Ah, finally, you answer. I was worried you were already dead.
[Spectre] [They already did, Slasher.]

[Azazel] . . . why not justkill them? That's our job.
[Riptide] [I doubt they'll sit still long enough for that...]

[Ariel] Hmph.
[Spectre] [No comment.]
[Avalon] Uh lotsa conflict in here.........
* Paladin` opens his mouth, but no words come out
* Xrileshr grits teeth, just about ready to launch into an attack on Shretrav, but knows she's stronger
* Shell_X takes scans of the room as he walks around it along the wall
[Enforcer] NRP: Anyone who doesnt have Sole survivor tell me NOW.
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: *Grins and stops rubbing his face and turns to avalon* You want some conflict, hon?
[Gravedigger] NRP: I don't, but I can do without
[Paladin`] . . . There a point to all this?
[Paladin`] NRP: Somebody send me Long Way Down.
[Shell_X] NRP: OK
[Xrileshr] *hisses* What is it you want, Shretrav?
* Avalon kinda laughs and kinda shivers
[Spectre] [I hate to hurry things along, but what do you want with us?]
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Actually, cutey, yes. Follow me. *turns around, acting very sexy to lure the men. Plus she has an effect on them that makes them instantly fall for her*
[Xrileshr] NRP: Long Way Down would be a great theme for Icy Fronts, I think
[Enforcer] NRP: that is true
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: It'll come into play, watch.
* Spectre glances at the guys, and wonders what they see in her
[Gravedigger] NRP:...DS, have you been watching old Star Trek reruns or something?
* Admiral_Drake follows her, love struck
* Ariel shakes her head in disbelief.
* Avalon is uneffected
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: er, no, is there such an episode?
[Gravedigger] NRP: Several.
[Spectre] *to Drake* [Hey, yo, Admiral, snap out of it.]
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Hrm
[Enforcer] NRP: ... all too many
* Admiral_Drake shakes head
[Admiral_Drake] Fine, fine
[Xrileshr] Don't be fooled by her attempts to coerce you...
* Shell_X is more interested in the technology than Shretrav
[Gravedigger] ...Dude, what the hell are up the humanly guys?
[Ariel] NRP: *bitch slaps Shretrav* Leave my crew alone!
[Paladin`] NRP: Send again
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Have you heard of 'Lord Talon'?
[Spectre] [...Can't say I have...]
[Avalon] I wouldnt know Gravedigger
[Admiral_Drake] No, actually.
[Paladin`] Rings a bell, but can't place the face.
[Xrileshr] Axra treshr shrajriov shle...? (And why do he matter...?)
* Shell_X keeps looking around at the technology of the ship, every once in a while trying to remove something that looks interesting
[Xrileshr] do=does
[Avalon] He cant be very old ive never heard of him
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Well, he is heading up large amounts of power and is creating a weapon than can destroy planets at will. I think he wants to destroy all trade and take over the galaxy for himself.
[Spectre] [Typical Avalon-ian common sense...]
[Enforcer] NRP: *cough*starwars*cough*
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: They wanted trade in that movie? UHhhhh, NO
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: It's basically a giant meteor.
* Shell_X pocket a few things and keeps looking over the technology
[Xrileshr] So, why can't the Tsivrixsh Empire take him down thereselves? Is Xshiaver afraid to face him...?
[Enforcer] NRP: still wanted to take it over... nearly same deal..
[Gravedigger] NRP: Uh, YES, that's why they were called the "Trade Federation"
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Actually, no, but we're no far away to accomplish this. We, you and I, are closer.
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: You won't enjoy this story, will you?
[Gravedigger] NRP:...no.
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: I will just have to end it.
[Gravedigger] NRP:....
[Xrileshr] ... And why would we want to help?
[Enforcer] NRP: I enjoy everything. except english *cocks shotgun* But Ill fix her..
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: *turns to Avalon* That enough conflict for you, hon?
[Paladin`] Because she asked so nicely . . .
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: you don't, and everything will collapse. And Earth is the last target on the list.
[Avalon] Its kinda Interesting and kinda scary
[Gravedigger] Pal, keep it in your pants, man.
* Paladin` runs along three seperate thought trains at the same time.
[Spectre] C'est terrible...
* Paladin` puts the turkey sub back into his pocket.
[Gravedigger] ...That's not funny.
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Plus we think he's gaining his power from a man you all know quite well.
* Paladin` shrugs and chews
* Xrileshr listens
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Spade.
* Paladin` grimaces
[Gravedigger] Spade? Ain't he DEAD?
[Enforcer] NRP: *sees a big picture forming*
[Admiral_Drake] Wha?! Isn't he DEAD.
[Xrileshr] Spade...?
[Spectre] Spade? Isn't he dead?
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Read -prelude- at Session50.html for it too
[Paladin`] Well, he was on earth . . . but there weren't any reports . . .
[Gravedigger] NRP: Echo....echo.....echo....
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Actually, we don't know.
[Xrileshr] How do we know this isn't a trick to us into a position for you to take us down, right after we do what you want...
[Garland] NRP: Echo....echo....echo....
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: While I track Talon's base of operations, I need you guys to head to Spade's HQ planet to find out if he's behind this.
[Spectre] NRP: Echo... cho... cho... o...
* Shell_X looks up, reviews his memory banks of the conversation and looks surprised
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: Risk you cannot take, hon.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . true

[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Session, speak and die

[Enforcer] NRP: not like he can though. Moderated
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: oh, yeah.
*** NovaCharger is now known as Nova-just_watching
[Xrileshr] ... I wouldn't trust her, Drake.
* Avalon muders .....succubus
[Admiral_Drake] We have no choice. To the Fury.
[Gravedigger] ...Why does everyone have headquarter planets these days? Should I get a headquarter planet? Are they actually worth it?
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Save it for NRPs Avalon
[Paladin`] Suck your what? Geez Av.
[Admiral_Drake] Shretrav: *glanves at Grave*
* Xrileshr starts toward it, not happy about working with her at all

[Enforcer] NRP:... I SO know this song... Whats its title? (Real one)
[Admiral_Drake] For now.
[Xrileshr] So, her spell has worn off you and you can think objectively again, Paladin?
[Paladin`] NRP: Anybody going to send me the zip of mids soon?
[Spectre] NRP: Apparently not. (Xri.)
[Enforcer] NRP: there
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: 2 hours left in 3 hours worth of session.
[Paladin`] Who said I couldn't while I was there? If she's going to try something, might as well play along.
[Shell_X] Hey, Xrileshr, is this what I think it is? *Shows a piece of equipment to Xrileshr*
* Admiral_Drake turns to Avalon
[Paladin`] Subtlety seems to be lacking in our operations.
[Enforcer] NRP: Someone SHOOT ME. Bloody hell, parents are gonna kill me today..
[Admiral_Drake] You've been quiet.
[Spectre] [Yeah, uh huh, sure. I scanned you while you were there; you fell for her.]

[Avalon] NRP: excuse me ive been doing other stuff
* Spectre flicks Paladin off and looks at the equipment, holding her footing
[Paladin`] . . . ?
* Paladin` looks puzzled
[Spectre] NRP: Ah, it's good to be back to normal...
[Paladin`] NRP: The "quite obscenely" didn't mean anything in particular
[Gravedigger] Don't pay ateention to him, Spec, he's a prick, but he has his moments.
[Admiral_Drake] Well, lets move it. There's only one city, huge too. Maybe we'll find clues there.

[Xrileshr] .... kvashl vre shax tvesh xshe shralsietve... He who unites with a fool suffers a fool's fate...
* Xrileshr glances around
[Gravedigger] ...
[Admiral_Drake] This city seems to be doing good under Spade's rule.
[Paladin`] . . . does the fool also suffer a fool's fate?
[Avalon] Who would be the fool?
[Paladin`] Or is the fool's fate not for the fool?
[Admiral_Drake] Us, Avalon.
* Shell_X pet is sitting on his shoulder as Shell walks
* Xrileshr read up on Spade during the trip
[Enforcer] NRP: *couavalongh*
* Admiral_Drake steps along
[Admiral_Drake] Any ideas on finding Spade?
[Gravedigger] What would be considered a fool's fate? Like liking a mixer while it's spinning, would that be a fool's fate?
* Spectre looks around, psionically scanning the surrounding area
[Xrileshr] ...So...
[Paladin`] How do we know the fool has suffered teh fool's fate, instead of just being stupid for once?
* Xrileshr psionically scans it as well
* Admiral_Drake looks at Paladin
* Xrileshr glances at Paladin
[Admiral_Drake] Scan: A CIIIIITY!
[Xrileshr] NRP: Damn, these scans are informative.
[Spectre] NRP: Thanks for the info.

* Shell_X heads to a store and picks up some food for his pet
[Xrileshr] It's just a proverb...
[Admiral_Drake] . . . will you two shut up?
[Spectre] [...Dammit, you're all confusing me. JUST SHUT UP!]
[Garland] NRP: I think we need to break after this part, we're getting kinda off track with silliness.
[Avalon] Can we please dispense with the "fool"
* Admiral_Drake sighs and heads for the nearest bar
[Paladin`] Free yo' mind! The rest will follow.
* Ariel looks around.
[Xrileshr] ... Shouldn't we be heading toward a likely place were this Spade would be?
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: *makes the session longer to make up for the fools*
* Spectre smirks and follows Drake's lead
[Admiral_Drake] We need to find some information, don't we?
[Avalon] The best place for info is a bar right
[Xrileshr] ... I see
[Admiral_Drake] Right.
[Enforcer] NRP:..... *is NOT pleased.*
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Patience!
[Gravedigger] Hey, hey, Drake, am I breaking the law? Maybe ya should toss me in jail for disturbing the peace.
[Paladin`] NRP: Patients?
[Admiral_Drake] . . . listen, you ass!
[Avalon] NR
* Admiral_Drake throws Grave back into a wall, undodgeable

* Admiral_Drake listens to the music playing
[Xrileshr] NRP: Are we in the bar yet?
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Aye.
[Garland] NRP: WHAT!!!! Not the Cheers theme! GOD KEVIN! I thought you had some class!
[Paladin`] Nah, but he deserves all the disrespect we give him.
* Paladin` enters
* Xrileshr enters, probably looking a bit out of place...
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: *burst out laughing*

* Avalon steps into the "happy" bar
* Gravedigger heads in
[Gravedigger] Dude...this isn't one of THOSE bars, is it?
* Paladin` glances about

[Paladin`] Yep, it's a bar alright. Nice observation.
* Admiral_Drake glances around at all the men dressed up as women

[Avalon] Not on this planet apparently
[Gravedigger] Wesa so in over our heads...

[Garland] NRP: *humms the cheers theme louder than the midi* where everybody knows your name ya' know! they'd know spade!

[Avalon] NRP: i was hopin to meet the drinkinest sonofabictch i ever met

[Gravedigger] Pal, I was talking about multiple women at once, not multiple GUYS at once...
* Xrileshr looks for the bartender
[Garland] NRP: GAY BAR.
*** Spectre (speedblade@user091.pcnow.net) has joined #TAW
[Admiral_Drake] Bartender: What can I do for you, hun?
[Paladin`] . . . well, I thought being a jello, you wouldn't care so much anymore.
*** Admiral_Drake sets mode: +o Spectre
[Avalon] Get off of me im not even a person! im not even modern! go away
[Spectre] NRP: I'm assuming that was to me.
* Shell_X has already left to somewhere else
[Admiral_Drake] Men: *continues to flock around Pal*
[Admiral_Drake] Bartender: *looks at spectre*
[Xrileshr] ... *narrows eyes at the bartender* Is the man called Spade in this city?
[Garland] NRP: Nah, just observing it.
[Admiral_Drake] Bartender: Spade? Oh, yeah, sure, owns the place up on the hill. Go see him if ya like, don't know if you'll be happy.
* Spectre sits there, sipping on her drink, and watching
* Gravedigger ozzes up Xrile's shoulder and plops his eyes out

[Admiral_Drake] That was fun as hell./

[Spectre] NRP: Excuse me for a minute while I clean some HD space...
* Spectre follows the group in silence
[Gravedigger] Okay, y'know what, let's NEVER do that again.
[Paladin`] It seems Spade's tastes have changed over the years.
[Admiral_Drake] . . . *glances at the huge mansion on the hill* Well, time to end this.
[Xrileshr] Now we head to Spade's building, and then...?
* Avalon teleports out---Avalon dreads walking past a bunch of them
[Shell_X] So did you guys find anything?
[Paladin`] We found a treasure trove of technology
[Paladin`] At that building back there
[Admiral_Drake] . . . yes, we discovered Paladin still has it.

[Admiral_Drake] So, Ariel, any ideas?
* Xrileshr looks for Spade's place
[Ariel] I'll tell you when I think of something.

* Admiral_Drake steps up the door and knocks
[Spectre] [Front door, apparently.]
[Admiral_Drake] I'm too tired for an assualt.
[Xrileshr] ... This is not they way to enter that I'd suggest.
[Gravedigger] ...That means we're gonna get pounded, doesn't it?
[Admiral_Drake] You suggest the opposite of EVERYTHING
[Garland] NRP: That'd be Garland..... He has the touch, he has the power, he has the girls. Only problem is they seem to be killed whenever he's away.
[Spectre] [Age is catching up with fearless leader. Heh heh.]
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: *opens the door*

[Admiral_Drake] Uh, yeah, him
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: Al-All right, but it's a waste of your time.
[Paladin`] There goes subtlety
[Xrileshr] What do you mean?
[Spectre] NRP: Whee, PCNow's installing new lines!

[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: Well, here he is . . .
* Avalon hoped it would be extravagant or victorian

[Paladin`] Whoa.
* Admiral_Drake steps forward and sees Spade, eyes shut, his body unmoving
[Xrileshr] ... *is taken aback*
[Gravedigger] Hey, that's pretty cool, got any other cool tri-Wow, what's in the capsule?
[Spectre] [Suspended animation...?]
[Xrileshr] Apparently Spade was wounded rather badly
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: He's a vegetable now. His mind shattered when he was hooked up to the robot someone killed.
[Paladin`] Suspended animation probably.
* Avalon is interested in the books but doesnt touch
* Shell_X tries to scan the capsule
[Admiral_Drake] Scan: Life support system
[Shell_X] What robot?
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: He's a vegetable for the rest of his days.
* Gravedigger rubs the back of his head
[Paladin`] Uh, so he's not out for universal domination?
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: A fake Spade.
[Gravedigger] You don't suppose WE did this, do you?
[Paladin`] So, you wouldn't mind if we took him out and made sure he's really Spade?
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: 'Fraid not, hun.
[Spectre] [How long has he been like this?]
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: That would kill him!
[Paladin`] He's already brain dead.
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady; Like this since December 4th.
[Shell_X] Do you know where the robot's remains are?
[Xrileshr] ... How did he get here?
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: I don't know, sweetheart.
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: Always was here. He just controlled his little robot around the galaxy.
[Paladin`] What's it matter if he dies now?
* Admiral_Drake blinks
[Gravedigger] Shell, I think you're missing the pic here, I believe WE took care of that little matter...
[Spectre] *to Hunters* [Now why didn't that idiot bartender mention this...]
[Xrileshr] I see...
[Garland] NRP:... is she comming onto you guys? "hun" "sweetheart"....
[Paladin`] NRP: No.
[Gravedigger] NRP: *pushes Pal in front of the group*
[Spectre] NRP: Hope not, since I'm playing a female character...
[Xrileshr] Not a very good fate...
[Admiral_Drake] A long, hard one until the capsule gives out.
[Shell_X] NRP: Shell is missing it
[Xrileshr] So... who controls this planet?
[Paladin`] Gravity.
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: Whoever took over it, I suppose.
[Xrileshr] ... What's your relation to Spade?
[Avalon] You dont know?
[Gravedigger] NRP: We fought Spade, turns out Spade's a veggie, first Spade we fought was a robot, got it?
[Paladin`] . . . shall we go back and ask the bartender?
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: Maid.
[Xrileshr] NRP: What about the skeleton on Earth of him too
[Gravedigger] Dear god NO!
[Garland] NRP: SO KILL HIM NOW!
[Xrileshr] Hmm
[Admiral_Drake] NRP: Mysteries that TAlon might reveal
* Paladin` taps on the glass
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: An older looking man took all his journals
[Paladin`] Hrmm, my fish always get scarred when I do this *taps*
[Xrileshr] You don't remember this mans name?
[Ariel] Older looking? Can you tell us more?
[Gravedigger] ...He didn't have one arm, did he?
[Admiral_Drake] Elderly Lady: He called himself some sort of Lord.
[Paladin`] Lort . . . Talon?
* Ariel going the group from where she was leaning against the wall.

[Paladin`] *tap*
* Xrileshr turns to Drake
[Xrileshr] What now?
* Admiral_Drake bonks the glass.
[Paladin`] *tap*
[Admiral_Drake] We head back to the Fury and see if our "Dealer" has any information I presume,
[Gravedigger] Pal, he's not a fish fer cris' sakes...
[Admiral_Drake] From there, we'll head after this Lord Talon.
[Paladin`] . . . seems a shame to leave him like this . . . what if he gets better?
*** Enforcer (Mightymito@sktnsk01d051801224.sk.sympatico.ca) has joined #taw

* Admiral_Drake enters the location into the computer.
[Enforcer] NRP: *whacks Avalon and Spec*
[Elayne_Vanguard] Utataorion?
[Admiral_Drake] . . . what, Shell?
[Xrileshr] NRP: Hunters + Fury-people + Resistance vs. Lord Talon (who must be pretty strong, I guess)
[Shell_X] Like the other Hunters?
[Admiral_Drake] . . . we'll have to grab them later, Shell
[Enforcer] NRP: You want me to trap you in a mime-trap?
[Admiral_Drake] We have to the save the galaxy.
[Admiral_Drake] Ai ai ai ai, lets vamous!
[Enforcer] NRP: or just mock you Girley-man

* Garland stands there, next to DS.
[Diamondback] Yeah, Andrew?
* Snipe notices three meteorites and a huge satalite over the planet.
* Ripple shakes his head, arm around Spirit
[Mindscape] NRP: Is this the same planet where we corned Talon the first time?
[Snipe] NRP: no
[Ripple] Just thinking you need a signifigant other.
[Biohazard] .... Dont those two EVER stop?
[Snipe SOUND]
[DeathStar] No, don't you love it?
[Ripple] Slash] Not that I've seen.
[Snipe] Wish I had a girl.
* Red keeps eyes focused on the planet.
[Diamondback] ...You know Jennifer, right? Well...
* Ripple nods
[DeathStar] Well, any ideas? *watches the planet get closer*
[Ripple] I understand.
* DeathStar stands next to Garland
* `Hunter` cloaks as he approaches the planet
[Gazer] To not die?
[Mindscape] [We take down Talon and work together. No more deaths.]
[Ripple] Slash] Full frontal attack is my suggestion.
[Snipe] Hardly the option, Gazer.
[Garland] ......Take out the satelite I think. It may cause a good bit of confusion.
[Azazel] I like full frontals.
[Mindscape] [We have to be careful, as this Talon has alot of soldiers it seems.]
[Riptide] [Full frontals are pretty dangerous...]
[Ripple] Slash] *smirks, beginning to like Azaz*
* Red Beard flies along the traffic lanes
*** Maestro has quit IRC (Leaving)
[DeathStar] And he has a lot of ideas. *frowns* And the power to back it up, perhaps?
* `Hunter` follows in it's wake
[Garland] .....Or the Hunter and I could act as if we're dead.
[Mindscape] [What'd you say, Red?]
[DeathStar] NRP: 2 more hours to go! WHOOOO!
[Mindscape] NRP: GAH!
[Ripple] No idea. [Slash] DS, what if we try a decoy attack with a small force, and then hit it from behind? Old hammer and anvil attack.
[DeathStar] . . . didn't we already do that Gar?
[Seraphna`] NRP: Kevin the Relentless.. there's a good title
[DeathStar] NRP: MUSH!
[Garland] And while the Red Beards go in for a report, we sneak in.
* Red muses
[Avalon] NRP: nova post
[Red] We could pretend we captured you and get in close to Talon.
[Mindscape] [Interesting idea... Garland, I believe.]
* Biohazard thinks
[Garland] Only they don't know we've pulled this cliche before.
[Riptide] [I like the idea.] .oO{As long as I'm not on the decoy team...}
[Gazer] NRP: "But I'm tired!" "QUIET YOU! *whip*"
[Mindscape] [Then, we could unleash our attacks againts Talon together.]
[Red] Right.
[DeathStar] Smart, Red.
* Garland nods to Mindscape
[Red] Who all here is psionics?
[Blackjack] Nice planning, Garland, Red.
[Biohazard] I could whip up a special virus to assist in getting them in undetected..
[Mindscape] [You know I am. And ready to pay Talon back for what he's done with them.]
[Riptide] [Not me! ...Dammit...]
[Mindscape] am=have them
* Ripple winces
[Ripple] I used to.. not anymore...
[Diamondback] I a... *stops short*
[Snipe] Ripple, DB, and Spirit use to be.
* Red raises eyebrow
[Red] What's the problem then?
* Gazer cracks his knuckles and leans back
[Red SOUND]
[Ripple] .... Xevil ripped it from our skulls.
* Spirit looks depressed at the reminder...
[Diamondback] You could say that they were... ripped from us...
[Gazer] Cap'n, what about our brainwave trancievers?
* Mindscape glances inquisitively at the ex-psionics
[Red] No, I got a better idea.
[Azazel] Xevil ripped what from your skull?
* Ripple hugs Spirit to console her
* Red raises hands and begins to dampen around the three, like Snipe
[Ripple] ... The Psionics.
[Mindscape] [Interesting... It's not often someone is able to do that... It takes quite alot of energy, even for someone as skilled as me...]
* Snipe feels the dampening field and shutters
[Riptide] [Poor guys... Sucks to get used to psionics and then lose them, eh?]
[Snipe] What in hell's name?!
[Azazel] Oh boo-hoo.
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Diamondback] NRP: Sky Chase! Yeah!
* Red dampens the damage done to them
[Azazel] What the hell is that?
[Diamondback] NRP: I think...
* Ripple raises eyebrow at Red
[Snipe] NRP: Bravo.
[Ripple] What are you doing?
* Mindscape glances at Red
[Red] . . . restoring your psionics the same way I take them to quite Mind
[Red] quiet even
[Snipe] But I thought that was MY special trait.
[Diamondback] Huh?
[DeathStar] Get use to it, everyone's just like ya.
[Gazer] Mon capitan, it seems you still manage to surprise even your own crew still...
[Red] I have the ability to dampen psionics.
* Biohazard smirks
[Red] But I learned to reverse that effect also.
[Diamondback] Well, we don't ha... Ah...
* Snipe hisses at DS
[Azazel] Yea, eager to fight and kill unnecessarily.
[Mindscape] [A rather annoying trait to run across in an enemy...]
[Biohazard] Its always good to have a good hand up your sleave.
[Blackjack] ...I resent that remark.
* Red glances at Snipe, noticing that they look similar.
* Garland looks at Snipe and busts out laughing
[Red] Well, your psionics are returned.
[Spirit] *looks up, being able to sense Ripple again and smiles*
* Ripple concentrates attempting to ignite a ripplewave around his fist
[Gazer] NRP: AHHH! He's a CARTER!...Err, McCormick! It's SPREADING!
[Mindscape] NRP: Red: Snipe... I am your father. Snipe: No! That's not true! That's impossible!
[DeathStar] NRP: Not really.
* Ripple it flames brightly to life, and he smiles also sensing Spirit
* Diamondback swings his fist in front of himself, forming a psionic sabre in mid-slash
[Diamondback] Yeeehah!
[Ripple] Lets roast.
[Garland] ..... I've been wondering.... why didn't Xevil attempt to take my Ki? It's similar to Psionics....
[Diamondback] [Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3... Yeah, it works!]
[Azazel] ARe we the cooks, or the course?
[Red] The name's Red. Red Hens. Pleased to meet you, John McCormick
[Biohazard] .... *forms a dart idly*
[Spirit] .oO(Nice to have you back *smiles*)
[Mindscape] NRP: Fine... Red: Snipe... I am your brother's cousin's nephew's uncle's former roommate.
[DeathStar] . . . That's why you were shocked at the name McCormick.
[Ripple] .oO{No kidding. *smile*}
[Gazer] NRP: *falls down laughing*
[Mindscape] [...Hmmm....]
[Azazel] . . . are we going to blow something up soon?
* Red sees no one is interested in their family get together
[Ripple] Slash] I like that guy..
[Gazer] NRP: Red Hens, ohhhhh that's a good one....
* Diamondback is too busy checking his psionic abilities to make sure they're all working
[Mindscape] [You're related to him then, Red?]
[Mindscape] NRP: LOL
[Red] . . . only the Hens . . . carries the dampening trait, Mind.
* Riptide is asleep
* Gazer clacks out his staff and extends it
[Mindscape] [Ahh, I see.]
[Snipe] . . . *Raises eyebrow* But I'm a McCormick
[Red] . . . are yo---*ship shakes*
[Ripple] NRP: *coughinbredcough*
[Diamondback] [Aaah, shit...]
[Mindscape] [Perhaps you're related to the Hens somewhere along the line...]
[Blackjack] What now...
* Red watches all the Hunters get teleported away
[Phantasma] [Oh fun...]
*** Snipe has quit IRC (Leaving)
*** DeathStar has left IRC
*** DeathStar has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Mindscape] [...!]
[Diamondback] [Wha...] *fades out*
[Biohazard] Whoa...
*** Diamondback has left IRC
*** Diamondback has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Phantasma] NTP: Oops
* Ripple disappears alogn with Slash
[Garland] EE*fades away*
[Azazel] Maybe you're just a mutant?
[Blackjack] What in t... *also fades*
*** Blackjack has quit IRC (Leaving)
* Riptide snores
[Biohazard] That was cool.
* Red kicks Rip
[Red] What just happened?!
[Mindscape] [... Talon...]
[Riptide] [Hey, huh, what, AAAAAH!]
[Biohazard] Looks like a teleport. Long range.
[`Hunter`] Comm] I just dectect a transport... what just happened?
[Phantasma] Trouble...?
[Red] Talon: *appears on the screen*
* Biohazard nods
[Riptide] [The hell's going on?]
[Azazel] EEeyeechh! I just ate, dammit!
[Red] Talon: Thank you, Red Beards, for keeping your part of the deal. The bombs have been deactivated and will vanish with a few days.
[Red] Talon: Your job is done here. Good bye and stay out of this galactic war going on.
[Biohazard] .oO{Why dont i trust him?}
[Red] Talon: *Cuts out*
[Mindscape] ...
[Riptide] [I don't think I'm the only one that doesn't trust him...]
* Red scans and all bombs deactivate.
[`Hunter`] Comm] Hunter to Red Beard.... what's going on?
[Gazer] The bombs'll probably vanish with us, when they detonate...
[Biohazard] Obviously..
[Red] Comm: The Hunters are gone, Ace, hold on.
[Red] Well, we're free . . . like he says . . .
[Biohazard] Red, Think you can get the coordinates of that teleport?
[Mindscape] [We can't abondon the Hunters, though.]
[Gazer] Why do I highly doubt that, Red?
[Phantasma] Why not?
[Azazel] . . . ok, so where to? That bar we went to before this mess?
* Red looks it up and sees it's a Maxium Security Prison.
[Biohazard] We made a deal with em Red. Even pirates have a code of honor...
* Riptide nods
[Red] . . . but if we do, we'll get involved in the war, something we NEVER wanted!
[Red] NRP: Play Search and Destroy
[Biohazard] NRP: KMFDM ROCKS!
* Red glances out the windows at the guard ships around the planet.
[Red] We go in, and we'll be in over our heads.
[Gazer] Might not be something we wanted old friend, but now it might be something we HAVE to get involved in...
[Biohazard] ... We dont, they die.
[Gazer] When aren't we?
[Red] . . . *sighs*
[Mindscape] ... *thinks*
[Riptide] [Over our heads? Sounds like something we do on a daily basis! Come on, don't give up here!]
[Red] And lose more of us? Orlonre? Sirus?
[Red] Where will it end?
[Biohazard] ....
[Mindscape] [Red's right... We're lost so many... The Hunters did take two of our own now. Perhaps we should leave them to Talon.]
* Biohazard backs down
[Mindscape] [Who knows why Talon wants them. Should we drag ourselves into some feud between them?]
[Red] NRP: These word sooo fit the situation
[Azazel] This isn't our fight.
[Biohazard] Your the boss. I'll follow you through the heart of a nova.
[Azazel] It's not.
[Riptide] [Hey, I joined up with you all aware of the danger...]
[Gazer] If we leave them to die, then we might as well die by Talon's hand fore we'll no longer be honorable!
[Red] . . .
[Red] Lets formulate a plan then.
[Red] If we're going to do this, we need a plan to defeat Talon in one stroke.
[Mindscape] [But... I just can't shake the idea of abandoning them.] *tries to psionically contact or sense the psionic Hunters*
[Riptide] [I'm sorry, but I won't run. The code of the samurai, the bushido. Better to die honorably than to live as... what's the word? Ah hell, than to live as a wuss.]
* Red grins
[Phantasma] All for one.
[Riptide] One for all.
[Biohazard] All for Us.
[Red] And one for all.
[Gazer] All for 'rates.
[Red] Lets go.
[Biohazard] Rock the world.
[Mindscape] NRP: We didn't make a plan though!
[Riptide] Our finest battle, my friends!

* Blackjack thrashes at his chains
[DeathStar] Talon: Ah, my dear Slash, not yet.

[Diamondback] [She? Mind telling us who "she" is?]
[Slash] .... Fine, wait a while then come closer so i can kick you in the nuts.

[DeathStar] Talon: *jolts of searing electricity leap into BJ's back*
[Slash] ..... Come here. I wanna see your face before i mangle it.
[Slash] NRP: Now hows THAT for timing?
[Slash] NRP: Scream before the actual attack
[DeathStar] I'll leave you alone to your fate, Hunters. *walks off, leaving it on BJ*
* Blackjack thrashes at his chains wildly, the electricity stinging at him. He suddenly stops thrashing, stops moving in general.

[LieutenantSnipe] Snipe: Enough of this, can't we stop talking about it?
[PrivateBrooks] Blackjack: If you wish... I think we've heard enough.
[CommanderWilliams] Ripple: Only if thats the true reason you freeze up.
[PrivateJones] Maybe you shouldn't have killed him? You know, if you had just shot the damned mav in the head . . .
[LieutenantSnipe] Snipe: . . . it is. . .
[LieutenantSnipe] . . . *Glares at Jones and slumps*
[LieutenantSnipe] . . . you're right . . . it's all my fault.

[Snipe] We need to go inside the meteor
[Spectre] [Get on with what?]
[Ripple] Slash] *sighs* Good to have the old hunters back again. Missed being with the groupies.

[Riptide] [Um, might I suggest that we get this over with?]
:Garland: ......Let's do this... Hunters.
[DeathStar] . . . once and for all, right?
[Ripple] Slash] One last time.
[Ariel] Just like old times.
[DeathStar] There's a time and a place for everything. The time is now. The place is here. If we lay down our lives, it won't be in vain...Let us come together, once and for all...against an evil of the likes we haven't been against before. Greed. And it will drive our enemy far...an unlimited supply of power. If we fail, billions of lives will perish...galaxies will fall....It's now or never.

[Snipe] Talon: *Waves hand at Azuls in the corner, dead*
[Paladin`] What about Fear Man?
[Paladin`] Azuls?!
[Slash] .... I am the only one left... Zero... X... dead...
[Slash] Crystal......
[Snipe] Talon: I needed Proto Man. Proto Man built Azuls with the same build he had. So, he was easily replaced.

END OF MIDI

[Mindscape] [Clones...? Of who?]

[Ripple] ... So Talon. Whats the point of that big machine that you threw slash into.

[Snipe] Talon: Not all/.
[Diamondback] [All the competition!? By the way you said it, you won't have anyone to sell to either!]
[Shell_X] O, really...

[Elayne_Vanguard] You saved my mother many times.... protected her...
:Garland: Oh, I've made differences, my whole life is full of mistakes, sure, I do a fe things right, but the just lead up to a larger foul up. *grabs Xrileshr* You don't know what it's like losing your clostest child, do you.
[Elayne_Vanguard] I have faith in you....
[Ariel] Enjoy your stay on the fury...
[Ariel] We appreciate your help... We couldn't have done it without you guys.
:Garland: Yeah, well your the only one, not even I do, kid.
[Snipe] NRP: Too bad DS is KOed
* Elayne_Vanguard walks straight up to him...
[Elayne_Vanguard] Then do it for me.. that only one.... Garland Hianule
[Xrileshr] No, I don't. But, I've been alienated from pratically my whole empire and world, and nearly everyone I knew to fight against the tereny of the Emperor... You must make sacrifices to live the lives we choose to live. I can't put it any nicer. I can't make it all suddenly fall into place... That's the way things are, I'm afraid
[Snipe] NRP: Going on 7 houts!
[Garland] NRP: Dear God, Garland's turning into DS, well DS that didn't care about anything after Icehart died, remember?
[Snipe] NRP: Aye.
[Spirit] NRP: Anythign after this?
[Snipe] NRP: No
[Avalon] I really need to put this somewhere before it blows up in my hands......
[Snipe] NRP: DS has yet to show alot of his true power
* Elayne_Vanguard hugs him and cries
[Snipe] Shade: *is there*
[Elayne_Vanguard] Don't you leave me too...
:Garland: Oh yeah, I forgot, my whole planet thinks I'm a walk out, Rather than fulfill my duties, I choose this life.
[Spirit] We saved the universe, but even heros need some shut-eye...
* Spirit lets Ripple walk her to her room.
[quit] Spirit (AvalonCDR6-103.accesscable.net) has QUIT 01:12am PST "Zzzzzzzzzzz..."
* Elayne_Vanguard cries more
[Snipe] NRP: To do WHAT? Nudge nudge
[Elayne_Vanguard] I don't
[Xrileshr] I don't know what you believe in, but what I do tells me your daughter will return someday and make a difference again... And, she'll always be with you inside... Words are petty and uncomforting, I'm afraid. You'll find your own way to continue...
:Garland: You don't understand, Elayne.
[Elayne_Vanguard] I do...
:Garland: Goto sleep. It's late.
[Elayne_Vanguard] No...
[Mindscape] [Good night, Hunters. Thank you for your hospitality and helping us avenge Red and the other fallen warriors in our ranks...] *Riptide and him head off to their room*
[Elayne_Vanguard] Not without Garland Hianule being an actual person...
[Elayne_Vanguard] Not with him an empty shell...
* Garland pulls back and head back into a more intese training than when he was gettign ready for xevil, depriving himself of sleep and minimal nurishement
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...
[Snipe] NRP: confrontion time between DS and Garland, coming up
[Snipe] NRP: NEXT session, stay tuned!
:Garland: I died with my father and my daughter, and when DS "died".
* Elayne_Vanguard sits down and watches him, almost mindlessly
* Ariel heads up to the observation deck and stands there, emersed in the quite, staring out into space.
[Xrileshr] Garland... I'd rest if I were you and continue as your daughter would have wanted you to. Honor her memory...
[Xrileshr] Good night and good luck. *turns and heads to his quaters... even Tsivrixsh need sleep*
[Ariel] Once more the galaxy is safe, but for how long until heros are called upon again...
[Elayne_Vanguard] ...and my faith in you...
:Garland: What memory? I was galavanting around the galaxy her entire childhood.
[Snipe] NRP: *will end this when Garland is ready to*
* Elayne_Vanguard finally stands and shakes her head...
[Garland] NRP: I'm just dragging on till you end it.
[Ariel] Only time will tell...
[Mindscape] *in his room* [Farewell Red... We'll continue as you would have wanted... You won't be forgotten.] *falls into a deep sleep*
* Elayne_Vanguard walks out and finds Ariel
* Ariel continues to stare out into space. *done*
[Elayne_Vanguard] NRP: DS confrontation!
[Elayne_Vanguard] Ariel?
[Snipe] NRP: Another day.
[Snipe] NRP: Too bloody tired.
[Elayne_Vanguard] I mean Aunt Ariel?
* Garland walks back and disssapears, moving at his maximum level and speed pushing himself. [you can end wheneverm I've just ben dragging on till you ended it.]
[Snipe] NRP: er, now waiting on Ariel and Elayne
[Ariel] NRP: How about you end it after my last line ;]
* Xrileshr enters his room and ponders over the fact that the Hunters triumphed, thinking perhaps they is something great about them... perhaps they could make a difference... perhaps he isn't wasting his time here... only time will tell
[quit] Xrileshr (AvatarrddfrD030.snowcrest.net) has QUIT 01:17am PST "Leaving"
* Avalon is the only one that is happy after all of this........
[Mindscape] NRP: Xrileshr's not really sad... Surprised, though.
