* Avalon seems to nap in the corner chair
* DeathStar is stiff near sigma
* Garland finishes, the scars on his chest apparent, wings not visible, and puts his shirt on
[Drake] . . .may I ask why the hell did your glorious leader call on the Alliance members, after they already left?
[Sigma`] . . .may I ask why the hell did your glorious leader call on the Alliance members, after they already left?
* Gravedigger follows Drake in and takes a seat near the corner
[Sigma`] NRP: Wroooong person
[DeathStar] Might I inquire you're still doing around here?  I'd figure your kind would have run off awhile back, Sigma.  Or at least backstabbed someone.
* Sigma` snorts
[Diamondback] NRP: *rubs his back, where the wound is just healing*
* Garland looks at DS, shaking his head
[Spirit] ...
[Sigma`] Tough words from a small punk like you.  I could eat your kind for breakfast.
[Ripple] .....
* Drake glances at the two
[Ripple] Shut up. Hunters kicked your ass before, and I'd like a reason to do it again.
* Avalon remembers Sigma in the "old days"
[Snipe] Would you two shut the hell up?
[Sigma`] Oh, sure, Ripple.  But it was a team up.
* Garland steps up
[Sigma`] 1 on 1, he wouldn't stand a chance.
[Ripple] ...
[Garland] I don't think you two should be fighting. We're supposed to be working together.
[Snipe] Alright, alright, enough of this fighting.  We have matters to attend to.  Ripple - Death Star - Sigma, cool it.  
* Diamondback shakes his head
[Diamondback] [So start talking, John.]
* Garland stands next to DS, semi-happy
[Snipe] Alright.  Everyone, have a seat.
* Snipe motions
* DeathStar sits down
* Diamondback sits down
* Spirit is already sitting
[Ripple] Well Johno, what do you want by having all of us here?
* Garland sits next to DS, moving like a lemming to DS
* Sigma` slams his feet on the table, cracking it
*** DarkHeart (kiki@209.32.248.40) has joined #taw
[Ripple] NRP: Garland *runs off the cliff into the ocean*
[Diamondback] [...Get comfortable, why don't you, Sigma?]
[Snipe] I think it's time for some small changes.
[Sigma`] I intend too.
[Garland] NRP: heh
[Diamondback] *to Vesps* [Uh oh. Snipe's changing things...]
[DarkHeart] NRP: *looks at Snipe*
[Snipe] NRP: you're 22 minutes too late, Darky.
[DarkHeart] NRP: I didn't think you met 9 Eastern
[Ripple] *To Vesps* [Of course.  What do you expect?  Hes the boss.  Everyone needs a shakeup now and then to keep everyone on their toes.]
* Snipe glances at the Vesps, knowing what's going on
[Snipe] Anything you care to say outloud?
*** DarkHeart has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Diamondback] *to Vesps* [I'm just thinking of... how's he know we're talking?]
* Garland sits there quietly
[Spirit] *Vesps* [Fun.]
[Ripple] Just talking about How you plan on shaking everything up.
* Snipe waves hand and blocks all mental talking
[Snipe] Alright.
* Gravedigger quietly watches the events unfolding
[Diamondback] NRP: Odd how we used up two abilities on something so easily stoppable.
[Snipe] NRP: Ain't it nifty?
[Ripple] NRP: nifty
[Garland] NRP: NIFTY!
[Snipe] Alright, I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of running around.
[Ripple] NRP: Thats like me using a warp blade and plasma cannon to open a can of juice.
[Ripple] .... And your plan is what?
[Snipe] . . .we need to start some course of action and start to build up other races to join us in our fight.  We're not going to win this war alone.
[Garland] NRP: You know if you throw the can of juice, fire a blast, spin and slash.......
[Snipe] The Alliance crumbled when we "died".
[Diamondback] That's rather obvious. So, how do you suggest we go about this?
[Ripple] Take over the planets one by one?
[Snipe] I called back our old members.  As for the others, my suggestion is to head to other planets and simply ask them to join.  Perhaps prove we can be useful in someway.
[Sigma`] You gotta be fucking kiddingme.
[Ripple] .... He has a point Sigma.
[Sigma`] Knock knock.  "Hi, would you like to join our alliance?  We'll mow your lawn."  *hisses* You Hunters are pathetic.
[Garland] Do you have a suggestion, Sigma?
[Diamondback] Diplomacy would work better than violence, Sig. We might actually prevent any backstabbing using it.
* Sigma` punches fist
[Sigma`] I say we go blow their mother fucking heads off.
[Garland] Why?
[Gravedigger] You would, Maverick.
[Diamondback] But then, you wouldn't know about anything other than killing, would you!?
* Sigma` points at Grave
[Sigma`] You want to take me on runt?
* Garland stands up
* Sigma` slams fist on table
[Garland] Stop.
[Ripple] Shut up Sigma. This is too big a deal to quabble.
[Sigma`] Listen you bag of bones, I could snap you with my bare hands.
[Gravedigger] How about you shut up and listen to the damn conversation.
* Sigma` points at the snoring avalon
[Diamondback] Yeah? Well, I'm here. Do it. I dare ya.
[Sigma`] THAT'S the hunters for you.  
* Ripple sighs
[Garland] Ripple, Grave, leave him alone. Annoying one another won't fix anything.
* Sigma` stands up and makes am move for Db, but stops
* DeathStar watches, arms crossed.
* Drake sighs
[Diamondback] I thought so. *sits down*
[Garland] Sigma, you make yourself out to be well composed, act it.
[Drake] Guys, please, we need to work this out calmly and maturely.
* Sigma` leans back
[Avalon] NRP: the naping thins wasnt litterally
[Garland] Hunters, Your more mature than this.
[Ripple] ... DS, was Slash ALWAYS pissy around Sigma?
[Sigma`] Well, wake up that damn robot over there.
[DeathStar] I'll refrain from comments.
* Garland sits back down
* Ripple snickers
* Drake nudges Avalonm
[Gravedigger] How about we ALL shut up and get back to the matter at hand. Snipe, go ahead.
[Avalon] You couldnt tell I wasnt asleep could you?
[Ripple] Right.  From the stories that he told me, he was worse.
[Snipe] Alright, thank you Grave.  Now, if you have anymore comments, raise your hand and I'll call on you.
[Diamondback] John, if you would, continue.
*** Kiki (kiki@209.32.248.40) has joined #taw
[Ripple] Go ahead and speak Snipe
[Snipe] Also, feel free to give suggestions.  We all seem to have our own opinion here.
[Snipe] But RAISE your hand first.
[Spirit] ...
* Drake raises hand
[Snipe] Drake?
[Drake] Anyway, really, Sigma's right to a degree, we can't just go ASK them to join us.  They're afraid of the aliens.
* Sigma` snorts
* Ripple takes Spirits hand and squeezes it
[Diamondback] So what do you suggest?
[Snipe] Hand, Chris.
* Spirit relaxes VERY little...
* Ripple raises his hand
[Drake] . . . *shrugs* I don't know, DB. . . I'm just saying. . .
[Diamondback] Hrm. Just posing the question.
[Snipe] Yes, Ripple?
[Snipe SOUND]
[Ripple] If diplomacy is not an option, then HOW would we get the others to allie with us?
* Avalon raises hand
[Ripple] NRP: ... my how that made no sense..
[Snipe] Well, my idea is diplomacy.  Either that or go fly to the Tsiv homeworld and nuke it.  But, still, we need to work this out.
[Snipe] Yes, Avalon?
* Ripple grins
[Ripple] .oO{I like that last option myself..}
* Snipe still has the psi-field down
* Spirit smiles slightly
[Ripple] NRP: So, cant i think it?
[Snipe] NRP: you can do that
[Avalon] Well if you think about it, if we get the planets that are most eager to ally; then the others may just fall in to place, wanting to be with the winning side and safe.
[DeathStar SOUND]
[Snipe] Good point, Avalon.
[Snipe] Excellent point.
* DeathStar raises hand
* Sigma` raises hand
[Snipe] Sigma?  *ignores DS*
* Diamondback sits back in his chair, thinking
[Sigma`] So, the shrimp's right.  But still, asking them to join is stupid
* Ripple watches DS, thinking
* DeathStar frowns
* Diamondback raises his hand
* Snipe still ignores DS and moves to DB
[Snipe] Yes, Chris?
[Gravedigger] NRP: *hands Av the award for Most Impressive Newbie Idea Ever*
[Diamondback] First, can you take down the anti-psionics field? I've got a sore throat, and it hurts to talk.
* Avalon remembers something funny about Sigma 
* Snipe drops it
* Sigma` eyes Avalon
[Ripple] NRP: [Announcer] And the winner.........  AVALON!
[Ripple] NRP: *cheering*
[Snipe SOUND]
* Drake sighs
[Diamondback] [Thanks. Ok, Sigma, care to explain why you think asking is stupid? I think that any planet that knows we're against the aliens would at least consider allying with us. They may not, but they may, with enough deliberations.]
* Avalon doesnt want to be decapitated and keeps it to himself
[Sigma`] They could be together with the aliens.  We'll then be blasted before we leave the planet.  Second, asking never works, it's force.  We have to prove we can win this war.  That's what will get them to join.
* Ripple raises his hand
[Snipe] Ripple?
* DeathStar drops hand
[Ripple] Force doesnt always work.
[Sigma`] . . . depends on how you use it.
[Ripple] *Grins* Look at Slash. 
[Ripple] Or his remains.
[Sigma`] Slash was a fool.
[Ripple] He was also the best fighter i've seen aside from Death Star and Garland.
* Garland looks at ripple
[Sigma`] Then look harder.
* Spirit slouches in her chair a little.
* Ripple eyes grow hard
[Ripple] Watch how you use force.  It could make or break you.
[Diamondback] *to Rip* [Easy. No sense fighting with allies.]
[Sigma`] . . . we all know what it did to slash, eh?
* Garland raises his hand
[Snipe] *tiredly* Garland/
* Ripple eyes flare purple, then fade a bit
* Sigma` sneers
* Ripple blinks, and looks at Spirit
[Ripple] .oO{Whats wrong?}
* Drake looks at clock
[Garland] I sugest that if we cannot get allys, we at least prepare an attack with what we have, build weapons for the fury possibly.
[Snipe] Thanks to Slasher, that would be now impossible.
[Snipe] Speaking of which, WHERE is Slasher and Dias?
[Snipe] And Paladin
[Garland] If not weapons, then we should at least prepare.
[Spirit] .oO(Nothing...  just feeling a little under the weather...  must have caught a bug or something...)
* DeathStar flicks hand up, but sees Snipe ignore him, and drops it
[Snipe] But of course, Garland.
* Ripple squeezes her hand again, giving her a bit of his strength
[Ripple] *To Death Star* [DS, What do you want to ask?  I'll ask it for you.]
[Snipe] Anyone else/
[DeathStar] [Forget it.]
*** Shadow` is now known as Bass`
[Snipe] No one/
[Ripple] *To Death Star* [Alright.... By the way... exactly what happened after that maniac put me in a coma?]
* DeathStar eyes blaze and he seems to tune out Ripple
* Ripple shrugs, rubbing the spot where he was shot vaugely
[Snipe] Alright, the Alliance members should be heading here.  We'll move to our other conference room.  We'll all need to talk to them about rejoining us.  It's open to the public, so, we should have a crowd there to see if we make it or break it.
[Drake] Joy.
* Garland nods
* Ripple nods
* DeathStar stands up
[DeathStar] Any particular reason to ignore me, however?
[Snipe] Eh?  What, Death Star?  You have something to add?  We need to hurry.
* Sigma` sneers
* DeathStar sighs
[DeathStar] Fine, if you don't want to hear it, then let it fall on your head later.
* DeathStar walks off.
[Spirit] *to Rip* [I'm going to go lay down for a bit... Cover for me?]
* Garland watches DS walk off
* Sigma` stands up cockily and walks off for the conference room
* Ripple stands, swaying a little, still recovering from the shot
* Drake heads for the conference room
[Ripple] .oO{Ok.. take care..}
* Garland stands up and heads for the room
* Spirit gets up and heads for her room.
* Snipe steps in stride next to Grave.
* Ripple goes over to DB
*** Ariel (Avalon@CDR6-252.accesscable.net) has joined #taw
*** Kiki is now known as Dias
* Avalon floats out
[Ripple] Chris... What happened with that wacko that tried to kill me?
* Ariel meets up with the others on the way.
[Gravedigger] NRP: Uh, I haven't quite left yet...
[Snipe] NRP: damn ye
[Snipe] Hey, Grave?
[Diamondback] NRP: Rip, query...
* Gravedigger gets up and walks out
[Gravedigger] What?
[Snipe] You handled them really well last time
* Dias walks in
[Dias] Am I late?
* Garland unstraps his sword from his back and puts it on his waist
[Snipe] I don't suppose you could be able to talk to them
* DeathStar sits on a chair on the stage before a large crowd of people, sighing
* Ripple waits
[Diamondback] [Nothing too much... The poor guy went crazy, muttering something about odds, probability, and Project Ripple... Sounded almost like Dad when he's drunk. Heh heh.]
* Ripple smirks, seriously
[Ripple] Thanks.
* Ripple walks off
* Dias watches everyone leave
[Diamondback] [No problem.]
[Dias] Guess so...
* Diamondback heads for the new room
* Drake sits next to DS, looking at the crowd
* Ripple heads for DS after arriving in the new conference room
* Sigma` moves into the crowd and vanishes
[HR]

[HR]* Figure keeps in the shadows, a dark overcoat seen
* Garland 's eyes narrow
* Figure fires a blast at DB
* Avalon finally decides to get up... whoops
[DeathStar] Dammit!@
[Diamondback] [Whoa!] *quickly dives aside*
* Ripple slowly catches up with DB
* DeathStar watches the crowd run in fear, shouting going on
* Dias watches the figure and scans him
[DeathStar] Dammit
* Garland jumps off the platform, watching where the blast came from
* Figure blocks Dias' scan
[Diamondback] [That does it!] *telekinetically holds the figure*
* Figure doesn't hold and runs further
[Figure] Nice try, asses.
* Garland holds his sword steady
[Ripple] Hey buddy. *fires a ripplewave at the figure* You like shooting at things?
* Ariel checks Drake's condition, then goes after them.
* Snipe dives at the figure
* Dias makes his way over to the Figure
* Figure moves aside, light bouncing off his visor
* Ripple flys faster at the figure
[Diamondback] Yeah? We'll see about that!
* Figure vanishes into the shadows
[Ripple] CHRIS, Double Tackle!
* Sigma` walks up to Drake, appearing from the back
[Garland] Snipe, lock down the level, if he hasn't gotten out yet, we'll lock him here.
[Sigma`] So, the glorious Hunters . . . shot down again
* Snipe sends the order out
* Dias glares at Sigma
[Ripple] Cloak or teleport.
[DeathStar] Nope, not cloak.
[Dias] And where the hell have you been to?
[Diamondback] [Sigma, now is definitely not the time...]
[Ariel] Like you could have done better Siggs?  Back off.
[Sigma`] I was in the crowd
[Sigma`] I was pushed out into the halls in their mad rush for safety.
[Dias] MY ass...*walks off*
* DeathStar flips up onto the blacony.
[DeathStar] Enough of this, people!
* Ripple sighs, and floats up to the balcony
[Diamondback] [And that's the Hunters' fault?]
[DeathStar] We need to find some clues.
[Sigma`] You didn't have the room secure, did you?
* Diamondback jumps into the balcony, using telekinesis to finish the jump when he doesn't quite make it
* Drake is still in a static field
[Gravedigger] Comm: Whoa, what's this about locking down the level, what's going on?
[Avalon] NRP:ITS SNOWING!!!!!!
[Diamondback] [I thought Rip said call a med team! Somebody do it!]
[Snipe] Comm: Drake's down.
* Ripple looks at the balcony rails, looking for fingerprints
[Snipe] Comm: Someone tried to kill DS.  Real good.   The best I've seen.
* DeathStar foot hits the butt of a cigar.
* Diamondback enhances his senses, looking around for anything that might vaguely resemble a clue
* Garland looks arounf, seeing no one calling them, so he comms them
* Dias makes his way upto the balcony
* Snipe climbs the stairs and arrives on the balcony
[Gravedigger] Comm: Damn, I'll be on the lookout
* Sigma` crosses arms
* Ripple floats the cigar up into the air
[DeathStar] . . .interesting
* Dias looks at it
[Snipe] Reminds me of Grave's brand.
[Ripple] DS, watch where your stepping.
* Ariel keeps watch incase he trys again.
[Diamondback] [...Don't even think that, John.]
[Sigma`] Ooo, I got it, Grave killed him.
[Snipe] No, it is.
* Snipe points
[Snipe] I recognize it.
* Garland looks for clues himself [enhances senses]
[Dias] Grave ain't got the brains to do that
[Garland] NRP: enhanced
[Diamondback] [It's not like only Grave smokes that brand of cigar.]
* Snipe points at Avalon
[Snipe] Avalon, run scout duty for me.
[Avalon] ?
[Avalon] Yessir
* Avalon floats away in a hurry
[Snipe] He doesn't smoke it, true.  He just has it
[Snipe] Sheesh, people, I didn't say he killed Drake.
[Snipe] Who's still down there, moving in that static field.
[Dias] Just Drake
[Sigma`] I suppose I could hang him on my wall.  *points at Drake*
*** Avalon (Avalon@sdn-ar-001nctarbP264.dialsprint.net) has left #taw
[Ripple] Right...
* Garland looks at Sigma
[Ripple] Im sure you'd like to.
* Drake field vanishes and he stops moving
* DeathStar scans Drake
[DeathStar] Well, all his nerves are dead/taken over.  It looks like some virus is eating him away.  Meant for me, no doubt.  Our only clue is this cigar butt.
[Dias] So Drake's gonna die...
[DeathStar] Not unless our attacker has the cure
[Ripple] .. Or become a vegetable.
[DeathStar] Anyone who would want to fake being Grave?
* Garland clenches his fist, his face calm, crackles of electricity around his fist
[DeathStar] Any enemies?
[Ripple] ..... You'd be suprised.
[Dias] But what sensible assassin would have a cure for his own virus?
[Snipe] . . . actually, there is one, on this station
[Ripple] .... Ransom money Dias.. Ransom money..
[DeathStar] . . . who?
[Snipe] . . . The store manager.
[Dias] I doubt this is for ransom.
[Diamondback] [The guy was wearing a cloak/trenchcoat thing...] *shoves the thought that it was BJ out of his mind*
[DeathStar] So, lets visit the store manager.
[Dias] If it was for ransom he would've spoken by now
[Sigma`] A STORE manager is trying to kill ds?
[Garland] Don't ask me, Sigma.
[Diamondback] [Well, he did seem a little insane...]
* Ripple smirks
[Ripple] [Only a little?]
[DeathStar] . . .so we visit the store manager.  Come on.
* DeathStar teleports
[Diamondback] [Good point.]
* DeathStar but is jammed
[DeathStar] Dammit
[DeathStar] Snipe moved fast.
[Ripple] .... Someone doesnt want us going anywhere..
[Snipe] I was told to lock down.
[Ripple] Think you could drop the teleport dampening field for a few seconds?
* Snipe calls it in
* Ripple prepares to open a warp portal
* Ripple does so
[Snipe] Should we get Grave to talk to the store manager?
* DeathStar steps through
[Garland] I'm assuming he or she is still on this deck, somewhere.
[Dias] NRP: I'm bored as hell, no offense to your session meant, so I'm leaving
* Dias walks off to his room
* Snipe writes a note to fire Dias
[Diamondback] NRP: All TCT members, join #mmxchrono2 for a minute.
* Snipe steps through
[Dias] NRP: Cool. Not everyone can say they got fired from the same job twice
* Diamondback shrugs and enters the warp
[Garland] NRP: Homer Simpson can.
[Dias] NRP: I said not everyone
* DeathStar steps into the prison detention block
* Ripple steps through and closes the portal
* Garland continues to look around the conference room
* Snipe points at the cell, the store manager standing there, grinning

[Snipe] Hey, Grave?
[Gravedigger] Comm: Yo?
[Snipe] We're hear talking to the mad bomber.  He might be trying to frame you for this murder.[Snipe] Looks like it
*** Sigma` is now known as Manager
[Ripple] Could he have broken out, and broken back IN?
[Manager] Hee hee, lookee here, it's the famous Hunters.
* Gravedigger walks in
[Manager] DAMN YOU!
* Ripple levitates the manager to the bars of the cell
[Manager] YOU RUINED ME!
[Manager] YOU RUINED MEEEEEEEEE!
[Manager] YOU BASTARD!!!
[Diamondback] [When is it going to get through your thick skull that you ruined yourself?]
[Manager] I KILL YOU!!!  I'LL STRANGLE YOUR FAT CHUBBY BODY WITH REINDEER!
* Gravedigger throws up his hands and turns around, walking back out
[Snipe] Yep, the manager did it.  Cased closed.
* Manager quiets down
[Ripple] ....
* Garland sits down in the seat he was sitting in, drinking a glass of water tha was there, still looking for some other clue
[DeathStar] Anyyyyway, someone should question him.
[Ripple] I think its just Grave's... personality
[Gravedigger] Comm: Nah, because he'd be saying stuff vaguely related to this.
* Manager grins madly
[Manager] Care to play some more games?  I use to sell games, you know.  Until he ruined me.
[Gravedigger] Comm:...Rip, the next time a crazied family tries to kill you, remind me to let them.
[Gravedigger] NRP: Family member, even
* Snipe reaches into his pocket and pulls out Grave's picture and shows it to the Manager.

[Manager] AAAAAH!!  YOU RUINED ME!! BASTARD!

[Gravedigger] Knock it off.
[Diamondback] [Hrmph. Right before I have a little fun.]
[DeathStar] So, we can assume this loony didn't do it.
[Gravedigger] There's a potential murder on board trying to frame me, we find him now
* Garland teleports to the prison
[Spirit] *taps Rip on the shoulder* What's going on?
* Manager pulls off his pants and scratches his butt

[Ripple] .oO{Is something wrong?}
[Diamondback] [I've got an idea...]
* Spirit slaps him with telekenesis
[DeathStar SOUND]
[Gravedigger] It's not him, anyway, he wouldn't still want me dead like this if he framed me, I'd be joining him, he'd be ecstatic.
[Manager] Wheee!
* DeathStar looks around
* Diamondback holds his hands out, and purple psionic energy surrounds the manager, shapeshifting him into Gravedigger
[Ripple] .oO{Spirit.. can you hear me?}
[Diamondback] [Idiot.]
[DeathStar] Don't you hear it?
[Spirit] Hmph! *turns awat from the manager*
[Manager] AAAAH!!!

[Ripple] Can you sense the rapport at all?
