?

* Diamondback shakes his head
* Matsuoka notices them
* Garland looks -down- into his eyes
*to Garland*
* Steel is taller than Garland
NRP: IM HERE!
I am here to make sure my son isn't injured any further.
Well, that's nice and all, but you're not part of the team. Get the hell out of this wing, now.
* Garland doesn't waver from the comment
Look it up. I'm on your Rosters.
Yeah, but you're a Cadet. you got to go through training
So, that means, out of here
* Rio was in the room everyone else is in the WHOLE time, he was just quiet
Very well.
* Garland turns and starts to leave
* Snipe is remaining very quiet for his character
* Rio walks to snipe
. o O {If Steel is such a good fighter, how come he isn't fighting the mavs?}
* Matsuoka spots Snipe and bounds into the chair next to him
Hiya!
I suppose I'll check on Garland. *walks to the infirmary*
* Steel slams fist on the ground, shutting Matsuoka up
I'm having a DEBRIEFING HERE, so all of you SHUT UP
* Gravedigger sloshes into the command room, and plops down in a seat, water flying up as he does.
>P
*to all except Steel*
Now, I'm here to talk to you about yesterday
* Snipe grimaces, waiting for the lecture
Are you... mad?
* Diamondback swallows
MAD?! YOU BLEW UP HALF UP DOWNTOWN MEGA CITY!!!
* Gravedigger takes off his cloak and starts ringing it out over the floor
Not US... him!
* Rio winces
Do you suppose there might have been a reason for that?
23 people were killed in that stupid STUNT!
It's because you're inexperienced!
INEXPERIENCED IDIOTS!
* Rio is starting to get a little angry
Whose fault is THAT!?
YOURS for stopping my training procedures with your complaining!
* Gravedigger waves his finger around like he's going to point, then puts it down sheepishly
You never stopped yelling!
SHUT UP!
* Rio mutters... "he woulda blown up the whole damn city if it werent fer us"
YOU!
* Steel grabs Matsuoka by the throat
*waits to get chewed out*
You want to get off the team?
!
* Garland looks at the walls shake from Steels yelling, even from the infirmary
I will kindly show you to the door
* Steel throws Matsuoka out the door
I'm impressed...
* Snipe glares
* Rio is REALLY getting angry
* Matsuoka lands with a thud
...ow...
* Paladin` almost laughs at the idiocy of the situation
Now, anyone ELSE have any backlip to add to this?
* Gravedigger opens his mouth, then shuts it
* Matsuoka is so tempted to become hostile
Now, I'll let your Commander take over....
* Steel storms off
* Diamondback simply sits and listens, no smart remarks to be made
* Matsuoka trys to trip Steel and make it look like an accident
* Rio pucnhes the walll
* Diamondback flips Steel off as he leaves
....Anyway, I'll guess I'll begin the briefing...
* Snipe calls in all the Cadets to hear this
* Matsuoka gets up and walks back in
* Gravedigger throws up his hands and whistles
* Garland walks in
NRP: um only dakota and garland are "cadets"
NRP: Then they should get their bums in here
NRP: so?
NRP: umm nm
Alright, as you know, I decided to come up with a plan yesterday...
* Gravedigger drums the table for suspense
* Garland looks at Snipe
Act dead?
Right.
HUH?
* Snipe throws out the papers to each
As you can see, you're all offically dead. Your family, friends, and all have been contacted.
* Paladin` grabs it and begins looking it over
...
* Gravedigger thrusts back his arm in pleasure
* Rio sighs
Oh that all
ooh... *sigh*
* Diamondback flips through the papers
So what do we do while being dead?
NRP: Can I come in at this point?
Im already "dead" no family, no friends, thats easy
* Gravedigger takes uot his shovel and kisses the flat part
We fight MAvericks...
NRP: uh, yeah...
*** Jager is now known as Spirit
So, we know where they're based then?
By being dead, they won't expect us. By playing low, they won't know what's hitting them.
* Gravedigger raises his hand
No, we don't. We can only stop them as they attack. *points at Grave* Yes?
* Spirit walks in.
* Dakota walks in looking around being it the first time he's been in this part of the wing
* Diamondback tries to read Grave's mind, trying to see what he's thinking
* Garland silently pays attention
* Gravedigger gets up and does a mock grave digging, then makes a questioning look at Snipe
* Rio looks at spirit with a smile
Yea, he is.
"So, we're dead now eh?"
*** Matrix (DOOT@p198-79-79-235-ts2-clarksdale.gmi.net) has joined #taw
Burials? Our bodies were destroyed in the blast. Fake funerals will be held, but not liek taht.
* Gravedigger snaps his fingers and sits down
* Matsuoka whispers to Spirit "Did you find out who made that poem for ya yet?"
*** Matrix (DOOT@p198-79-79-235-ts2-clarksdale.gmi.net) has left #taw
So, now you know the rest of the story.
I suppose this means no leaving the compound then?
* Snipe runs hand through hair and plays with stumble of his beard
(To Maki)
I need to shave...
Right, Paladin
!
* Dakota leans on a back wall
You're all grounded.
* Garland makes it a point to get Ensign rank asap
* Gravedigger whaps his head against the table
Also, the Special Unit has been temporarily disbannded due to our deaths
So, all the Cadets or Ensigns who didn't die are jobless...so the Mavericks think.
Well then im off, nothing to do here... im gonna go train
.......
...
I'm not DONE Ensign.
* Snipe has a slight edge to his voice towards Rio
Awww... poor us...
SOrry "sir"
We're not getting payed?
Yes....we're not really dead...
* Gravedigger starts silently sobbing
Alright, here's the part of the briefing that concerns the Hunters...
.....But I wasn't on that mission, why am I to remain here?
* Paladin` raises his eyebrows at the mention of the hunters
* Dakota looks up at the mention of that word as well
...a few more starship Admirals who were Hunters once, serving to fly your Lost Armada, were killed. We've tallied their deaths with that of Arono's, and a few mechanics as well.
* Gravedigger stops fakingly sob and whistles
Arono.....
Arono . . . was an admiral?
Someone's out to kill you. Since you, Paladin, and Slash, are dead, you're in the clear, but Garland and Dakota are not.
Can I add something?
Not Arono, he was a plain Hunter.
Yes, Dakota?
Ridge was also shot a few days ago.. not dead but injured severly..
Interesting.
* Garland looks down
i got attacked myself...
(TDB)
* Gravedigger fingers his sai out of view of the others
But here's some big targets that may concern you....Blackjack is a big target...he'll be attacked sooner than later, probably. Also, X1....
*to Andrea*
* Dakota nods
Well, anymore questions?
I..... Had I know about all this... I'd.. I'd might have been able to help my old friends... *curses himself*
* Rio raises his hand
* Matsuoka whispers to Snipe "can be you be charged with sexual harassment if you're dead ^-~ "
Yes, Rio?
Since we know, are they being assigned body guards?
* Snipe glances at Matsuoka
I'd think not.
* Dakota glances up at Snipe rasin is hand
(TDB)
Of course, Paladin.
What are we gonna do in the meantime?
* Matsuoka laughs a little
*tSpirit*
We'll fight the Mavericks, Rio, and not train. Can't be seen.
* Paladin` nods, slightly satisfied
Yes, Dakota?
how do you plan to keep me and garland safe anyway? what'll you do?
You guys will be on the team, behind Steel's back. I'll need you
I can hold my own, Dakota.
Well, then....I'm tired...I'm going to go----*computer beeps*
* Garland turns to the computer
Anybody going to check that?
* Garland sees no one else answerinf it, so he does.
well i was ambushed on the way here... it wasn't a pleasnt experience to have your system jolted and now i'm not really liking ice weapons...
* Garland pushes the button
.....
What do you mean Dakota?
Computer: Maverick warnings near Diton Dam. Need assistance.
Well.... lets go
...Diton Damn?
* Snipe walks over to the map and glances over it
* Gravedigger puts his cloak back on and pulls the hood over his head tight, hiding the majority of his face in shadow
on the way here an old nemisis of mind ambushed me... and he nailed me with some kind of virus or something but ice weapons are not that nice to me anymore...
* Snipe taps a place on the bridge
Oh...
* Rio gets ready and calls kio
That's just above a major city. If they blow the damn, alot of people are going to die....
NRP: Dam!
* Garland 's eyes snap open
That's why we're dead DB . . .
I won't let them do that!!!
We stop it! Didn't you just LISTEN to me?
* Snipe throws hands up and heads for the hanger in disgust
So let's go
Well im going, lets kill em quickly please
* Matsuoka chases after Snipe
* Garland looks at Snipe for waiting, slightly angrilly
* Gravedigger speeds down to the hanger and slides into the shuttle
* Rio slowly walks out the door
* Diamondback sighs and heads for the hangar
* Garland teleports to the hangar
* Dakota walks to the hangar
* Rio strides into the hanger, kio behind him
<*laughs* And I'm the one that had problems with school?>

* Gravedigger bites the seat in front of him
* Paladin` gets on
* Dakota just follows along
* Snipe takes his seat by the window
* Rio walks in and sits in the back
*** Shell_X (shadezade@ts006d26.min-mn.concentric.net) has joined #taw
* Garland undoes the coat of his uniform, expecting a fairly strong force in the feild today
Please remember to take out ALL of the mavs. Maybe we can make this "dead" thing last a little longer.
....Pilots, anyone?
* Matsuoka Sits next to Snipe
Can't we just get one of the squirrel things?
* Garland looks at Paladin, then laughs
...
* Shell_X flickers into existance as he downloads into the shuttle
....*stops DB*
Show me on your report where you can fly
* Gravedigger leaps up, waving his hands and whistling
* Diamondback mumbles something aloud and sits down at the weapons console
* Snipe calls in a squirrel
* Garland would show his piloting skills [TAW], but their so rusty he doesn't even want to think of attempting it.
* Snipe a little metal squirrel scampers up the ramp and leaps onto the pilot's seat, chattering
I'd fly but would you think i can fly cuse i don't have the papers with me?
*** Slash (Blayde22@sktnsk01d050601155.sk.sympatico.ca) has joined #taw
* Gravedigger whacks his head and points a hard finger at the squirrel
* Diamondback telepathically scans GD's mind
The squirrels were designed to pilot.
NRP:.... Goody, just HAS to be in the middle of the week...
* Gravedigger gives the squirrel a cold glare
...Well, Dakota, I know you can fly....just remove the squirrel
NRP: Get on the shuttle before it takes off
* Dakota does so sitting down
* Slash warps into the shuttle

* Snipe the squirrel bites Dakota
Jeeze, cant wait up a few seconds

* Gravedigger plops back down, mopping
I feel safer with Dakota then with a rodent
The dam.

Haven't seen you lately.

* Dakota looks back
* Matsuoka smiles

* Snipe the squirrel runs from Slash and hides behind Grave
* Diamondback messes around with the weapons, getting a feel for the console
* Paladin` nods at Slash
Yoou have any idea what's going on?

* Gravedigger flips the squirrel off
* Snipe looks out the window, glancing at a cloud

* Paladin` stays between GD and the squirrel
* Shell_X stares out the window while the others talk
* Gravedigger 's eyes widen and tries to lunge at the rodent, being restrained by his seatbelt
* Garland holds his head, so many new things to contemplate over the losses he took, but never knew he did.
NRP: Like, everyone you knew is dead, Garland! HA HA HA HA
NRP: i'm not...

* Gravedigger digs at his buckle

*to GD*
*** Slash has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
What do you have against the squirrel, anyway?

* Diamondback snickers telepathically
* Matsuoka giggles
