[Status`] Time Chart: Earth Date 103 - 2 Days Later
[Status`] Location: A small 'town'.
[Status`] GM: Crossfire's wound continues to grow worse, since there's no medical supplies.  Enforcer is currently offline from his damage also.  The town is runned by a man named Cortin, who is allowing Dominator to stay at the largest standing building in TAW.
[Status`] GM: Outside, a strange storm rages across the planet's surface, and the dark red skies are now a bloody, ruby red.
* Wiendigo` lights a cigar and flicks out the match as he stands in the room, ignoring Crossfire and Enforcer, out on the floor.
[Wiendigo`] That storm is still going on...*said to Dominator*
* Dominator is silent and tense and glances out the window
[Wiendigo`] ...and it looks like some idiot is out there running towards this pathetic town...*puffs on cigar*
[Dominator] Yes, it is... Hopefully it will subside soon.
* Siawase is curled up in a corner.
[Status`] At least we found Siawase, safe and sound.
* Status` is still positioned on Dom's wrist
[Dominator] I wonder... Status, your analysis on how long it will take for the storm to end?
* Gorgon 's outline can be seen walking towards the building. As he gets closer, his figure is more visible. He is wearing a visor covering his eyes and has a scarf around his nose and mouth. He has a cloak wrapped around him that flaps from the wind
[Status`] This is nary a normal storm.  It's unnatural.  I think its the Governor's way of retaliating...it's effecting everything mechanical.  Thus, why Enforcer is out cold.
* Wiendigo` smirks
* Dominator looks toward Gorgon and rises
[Gorgon] NRP: Isn't Status and Dominator mechanical
[Wiendigo`] The governor didn't get his little fun so he's throwing a temper?
[Dominator] NRP: Gorgon? He wasn't a Resistance member before, was he?
[Status`] NRP: True, but they're not damaged like Enforcer was.
[Dominator] NRP: Yeah, but Enforcer was already wounded. It probably effects us a bit, but not enough to knock us out cold
[Gorgon] NRP: Fist session
* Gorgon pounds on the door
[Wiendigo`] Plan on answering that?  *leans against the wall*
* Siawase looks up
[Dominator] Status, scan Gorgon to make sure he isn't an imposter... Sadly, we can't be too careful
* Dominator moves to the door
[Status`] ...I detect no fake imposters.
* Dominator opens it for Gorgon
* Gorgon steps in, Gorgon has to crouch down and turn his body to fit through the door
[Dominator] As for this being a mechanical storm, that would make sense. Let's hope it has a power supply that will run out. Then again, in their twisted way, they are probably taking the power for it right out of the planet itself...
[Wiendigo`] Oh, great, it's one of the originals we managed to lose.  Why are you back here?
[Gorgon] Team was massacred. *unslings a backpack from underneath his cloak and tosses it to the ground
[Wiendigo`] And you ran away like a coward to live...?
* Dominator shakes head sadly at Gorgon's words
[Gorgon] I headed to the nearest town, only coincidence that you guys were here.
* Wiendigo` snorts and goes back to staring out the window
[Wiendigo`] So, Dominator, are you still going to search for this fabled Paradise?
[Dominator] If he's a coward, then are we too? Rushing head on against the Tsivrixsh forces won't accomplish anything... we're too busy trying to survive
* Gorgon looks at Crossfires prone body and then kicks his bag towards Dominator
* Status` remains motionless.
* Wiendigo` doesn't answer Dominator, but keeps an eye on the storm
[Gorgon] Medkit. Not much but it should lengthen his life a little.
[Dominator] I suppose so, Wiendigo, though this storm will create problems... I'm beginning to loose hope that we can continue survivng here though. Even if we hijacked a ship and left the planet, Tsivrixsh forces in space would probably intercept us before we reached safety... if there is any safe area left now
[Dominator] Status, what's the probability of survival if we travel through the storm?
[Wiendigo`] If you ask me, which you don't, but I don't give a damn, we should just attack the Tsivrixsh forces and kill them all.  Screw looking for damn legends.
[Status`] Well, the storm seems to be only affected mechanical structures that are offline or near shutting down.  We should be fine.
[Status`] Query: Where's Baberlus?
[Dominator] I'd be all for that, Wiendigo, but we can't kill them all as we are now
[Wiendigo`] Running around the planet isn't helping us either.
[Dominator] We're still alive. We wouldn't be if we went up against their forces directly. A handful of Vultures almost decimated us...
* Dominator grabs the medical material and sorts through it, thanking Gorgon for it
* Gorgon nods and leans agains a wall
* Wiendigo` shifts and drops the cigar, smashing it out with his foot
[Wiendigo`] Something's uncanny about this storm.  I've been surveying the area and that dead robot we passed on the way in here...he suddenly brought himself online.
[Dominator] NRP: Where did Baberlus go?
[Status`] NRP: We can say he was scouting
[Dominator] And what do you think, Wiendigo? Would you recommend travelling through it...? Status, are these medical supplies enough to heal, at least partially, Crossfire and Bio Hazard?
* Baberlus lands on the ground
[Dominator] He's scouting, Status
[Baberlus] And I'm just back, too
[Status`] ...it'll substain them for a week or so, I suppose.
[Dominator] Find anything of importance?
* Gorgon takes off his visor and looks at Baberlus
[Wiendigo`] My concern is mroe toward that dead robot.
[Dominator] Will they be able to walk by themselves?
[Baberlus] Not a damned thing, man.
[Status`] Perhaps later.
[Dominator] The one you said came online?
[Dominator] NRP: What robot is he talking about?
[Wiendigo`] ...no shit, Sherlock.
*** Siawase has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[Wiendigo`] NRP: None of our group...one of the town's robots.
*** Siawase (Avalon@CDR6-42.accesscable.net) has joined #taw
*** Status` sets mode: +o Siawase
[Dominator] You're thinking the storm made him come online? But, it seems to be sapping the power of machines...
* Siawase yawns and gets up, heading over to the others
[Wiendigo`] ...*shrugs* He's coming this way.  Why don't you ask him when he manages to stumble up into here?
* Baberlus cracks his knuckles
* Gorgon glances at Siawase
* Dominator turns and looks out the window
[Status`] Robot: *Shuffles toward the building*
* Baberlus looks out
[Baberlus] ......the hell.....?
[Dominator] Status, scan that robot and report
[Status`] Scanning...robot was brought online by power surges from storm.
[Dominator] He shouldn't be a danger, but we can't take anything for granted... Be on your guardes
[Status`] Robot's memory...blank...
[Status`] I can't see what's compelling that thing to move...
[Dominator] Are his systems functioning normally? His mental systems...?
[Status`] ...he can think, if that's what you mean, and he can fight...
[Dominator] *frowns* What caused him to go offline?
[Status`] Too many wounds...fell offline and died.
[Dominator] And, then, he's still in poor condition?
[Baberlus] ....and a surge fixed this?
[Wiendigo`] ...*grins* So, the dead now walks this planet?  This makes my day.
[Status`] Not really, President.
[Gorgon] Great another one like Wien
[Dominator] Did the surge occur near the onset of the storm, or just during it?
[Status`] During it.
[Dominator] Scan the city. If there are any others like him, I want to know it.
[Status`] Scanning...no others.
[Wiendigo`] Robot: *breaks the door down*
* Dominator aims weapon at him
* Gorgon stands up and brings both fists back
[Status`] Robot: *heads for the group*
[Dominator] What do you want?
[Wiendigo`] To kill us...to rip our guts out and string them arond his fireplace.
* Baberlus readies his shotgun, buck shot
* Dominator charges weapon
[Status`] Robot: *keeps moving toward them*
[Dominator] Halt or we will fire upon you. You have three seconds. One... two...
[Status`] Robot: *keeps coming*
* Gorgon two long scythes fly out from under his cloak
[Dominator] Fire!
[Baberlus] WAIT!
[Dominator] What?!
[Baberlus] Status said it's memory or somehting was blank, it may not understand!
[Status`] Robot: *raises blaster and fires at Dom*
[Gorgon] Look out!
* Wiendigo` steps back
[Baberlus] OKay, NOW SHOOT...
[Dominator] Besides the point, it's ho-... *jumps out of the way, blasting at it*
[Siawase] Siawase not like this...
* Status` explodes
[Baberlus] ......Damn it, why do I have to think.......
* Gorgon spins slashing at the robots legs
[Status`] NRP: Er, the robot did
* Baberlus fires at it's head
[Baberlus] NRP: oh, now he says it
* Wiendigo` moves head to look out the window at several aircraft carriers flying overhead, dropping things onto the ground
[Gorgon] What's out there Wien-Bag?
[Dominator] *turns to Baberlus* When I give an order, I expect it to be followed without hesitation or arguments during a combat situation. Understand? I don't need anyone confusing the troops. If a target is hostile, then it's hostile. End of story
[Wiendigo`] Looks our neighbors are dropping dead reploids...
[Status`] I agree with Dominator.
[Baberlus] It wasn't hostile untill it fired.
[Status`] I agree with Baberlus.
[Baberlus] And don't go giving me orders, I'm not one of your men. Nor am I even a citizen of Earth.
[Dominator] It's hostile when I say it's hostile. Understood? Besides, it had nothing left. I'm sorry, but we couldn't take the risk.
* Wiendigo` grins sadistically
[Gorgon] Let us put our attention on the matter at hand *points to the dead reploids*
[Wiendigo`] Ah, Dominator, can't even control your own group?
[Dominator] Baberlus, if you are with us, then you are under my command. If you feel otherwise, you will leave and go out on your own.
* Baberlus grins
[Status`] ...*scans the reploids*
[Baberlus] Considering you shoot all that moves, it may work well on my part.
[Dominator] See how far you make it alone. If we are going to survive, we need to work together. Am I clear yet?
[Baberlus] Crystal.
[Dominator] Now... We need to move and tend to the wounded. Who here has medical skills?
[Dominator] NRP: What reploids is Status scanning?
[Status`] NRP: The dead ones the Aircraft carriers dropped off.
* Baberlus mutters
[Status`] ...eeek!!!  The power surges are bringing the reploids online.
[Dominator] What...? How many?
[Status`] ....30 or more.
[Dominator] Condition and combat potential
[Dominator] ?
[Gorgon] Clean the town?
[Status`] ....18 are in fighting condition.
[Dominator] NRP: Who else is in the town that might be of help?
[Wiendigo`] NRP: No one.
[Wiendigo`] NRP: Cortin is just keeping people alive, not into fighting
[Dominator] I think it's time to move on... Wouldn't you say so, Wiendigo?
[Gorgon] NRP: Not I, I'm only a figment of your guys imagination
[Dominator] How far away are they from this building, Status?
[Status`] ...interesting...I recognize some of these dead reploids...looks like the Tsivir took a good pick.
[Baberlus] NRP: I'm naked.
[Dominator] Name the ones you recognize.
[Wiendigo`] If you feel like you can't fight, then do so.
[Status`] General Steel.
[Dominator] General Steel... His memory?
[Status`] Wiped.
[Dominator] NRP: I don't remember this dropping of reploids...
[Baberlus] Steel? Wasn't he some kind of bad-ass military guy?
[Status`] Correct.
[Dominator] No chance of giving him it back? Burried in his systems?
* Gorgon growls and walks towards the door
[Status`] ...I do not know.
[Dominator] Yes, Baberlus, he was a powerful reploid who became a drill instructor.
[Dominator] Any others you recognize?
* Wiendigo` makes a hum
[Wiendigo`] The reploids are coming clooooser.
* Gorgon places his visor on, covers his face with his cloak and opens the door
[Dominator] I realize that... Any area that we can escape through? A whole in their advancing lines, Status?
* Wiendigo` kicks at Siawase
[Baberlus] Yea.... he fucked up one of Fernai and I's hunting jobs.... I owe steel.
[Wiendigo`] Why don't you go out and say hi
[Status`] Well, they're all in FRONT OF us, not BEHIND us.
[Status`] Hint hint...
[Gorgon] I'll make a path. *walks away from the building the bright glow of his green scythes protruding from under his cloak slowly fades away. 
[Gorgon] NRP: I'm done. Need sleep.
[Siawase] Oww...  Why don't you go back to hell
*** Gorgon has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Dominator] You're suggesting a retreat. They can't be that fast.
[Wiendigo`] ...been there, done that.  You should try it.
[Dominator] Gorgon, wait.
[Baberlus] I dunno.... I saw this movie once...
[Siawase] Try staying there
[Status`] Steel: *explodes through the window*
* Baberlus pulls out his pistols, dynamite ammo
[Wiendigo`] ...*trips Steel*
[Status`] Steel: Errrr!
[Dominator] Too close... Move to the back of the building... *draws Rune Sword*
[Baberlus] Hey Steel! I'll take out my 4 Million Gil loss on your face!
[Status`] Steel: *Punches at Dom*
[Dominator] Try to disable him quickly
* Wiendigo` draws his katana
* Baberlus shoots Steel in the face with his pistols
* Dominator grabs his fist, pulling him down at the floor
[Status`] Steel: *lets them hit and takes no sign of slowing; an open wound is seen sparking from where Xevil killed him
* Siawase charges at Steels feet
[Baberlus] Hmm....
[Status`] Steel: *grabs at Siawase while he's pulled down
* Baberlus takes his blade-glove and rams it into the hole
[Dominator] Status, do you have anyway of disabling him by interfacing with his systems?
[Status`] Steel: AAAAAAAARGHHHHH!
[Status`] Not here...I'd be afraid of getting his weird command to kill you
[Siawase] Ack!  Let Siawase gooooooooo!
[Baberlus] Right through the hole in the armor!
* Wiendigo` dives out the window and battles the other reploids
* Baberlus shoves dynamite ammo in the hole
[Status`] Steel: *smashes Siawase through the floor*
[Baberlus] Hey uh... everyone get back away from him, I got an idea!
* Dominator slashes Steel in the back
[Status`] Siawase: *swings Dominator into Baberlus and stumbles back*
* Baberlus aims his gun, jumping back
[Status`] NRP: er...Steel did that.
[Dominator] NRP: Problems with names today?
* Baberlus shoots at the ammo pack he rammed in
[Status`] NRP: yes..
[Status`] Steel: *half his body explodes*
[Dominator] Guh... 
[Baberlus] Woo!
* Dominator shields his eyes
[Status`] Steel: *his upper half crawls over to Crossfire*
[Baberlus] Thats 2 mil right there!
[Dominator] Crossfire! *teleports in between them and blasts at Steel*
[Status`] Steel: *Stumbles back*
* Baberlus fires into his torso, as he crawls
[Status`] Steel: *sputters and his eyes fade into a dull color; he doesn't move*
* Baberlus kicks at Steel's head
[Dominator] Hold your fire... but stay ready
[Dominator] *turns to Baberlus* Nice work there...
* Wiendigo` leaps back in through the window, throwing away reploid body parts
[Wiendigo`] More's coming in.
[Baberlus] "See how long I'll last" huh?
[Dominator] How close?
[Dominator] And how fast are they moving?
[Status`] Steel: *his body is right over Siawase, who's under the floor, and begins to cave in on it*
[Wiendigo`] They're normal reploids all in all...*watches two leap in* And they're right outside.
* Dominator throws steel off Siawase and grabs Siawase
* Baberlus grabs Steel aand throws him off
* Baberlus keeps kicking at steel's head
[Dominator] We could try and trap them in the building, then destroy it...
[Status`] Steel: *is...kicked*
[Baberlus] come on.....
[Wiendigo`] ...that's a plan.
[Siawase] Thank you! Thank you!  Thank you!
[Dominator] Are you all right, Siawase?
[Baberlus] ..... *slashes at his neck*
[Status`] GM: *a blast comes flying in and spins Dominator around, catching him in the side*
[Status`] Steel: *the head rolls off*
* Baberlus takes the head and puts it in his pack
* Dominator forceshield diminishes the damage, but he's hit
[Dominator] Ahh! Get down!
[Siawase] Siawase has been better...
[Baberlus] ...... Fernai'll love this....
[Status`] Matrix: *is all melted and sparks horribly*
[Status`] Matrix: *keeps firing*
* Wiendigo` kills the two reploids and shoves them back out the window and glances at Matrix
* Baberlus looks at Matrix
* Dominator ducks down and jumps up, left hand pushing Matrix's gun up, right hand pushing Matrix's upper neck and jaw
* Baberlus looks for any big, open wounds
[Status`] Matrix: Gaaaaaaaaaah!
[Status`] Matrix: *struggles*
* Siawase hides in the corner
* Dominator with a twist, disarms Matrix, pushing him into the wall
* Baberlus aims for matrix's eye and fires
* Wiendigo` appears behind Matrix and guts him, twisting the katana and slashing him in half
[Wiendigo`] Done.
[Status`] Matrix: *falls down, dead*
[Dominator] I would have prefered to disable him, but...
[Wiendigo`] ...you do it your way, I'll do it mine...
* Dominator sighs, not liking what it takes to survive
[Baberlus] ..... Remind me to get a sword.
[Dominator] How many left, Status?
[Status`] ....13
[Dominator] Any you recognize? Lower power levels than the ones we just faced?
[Status`] ...none that I recognize...all have high powers levels...hard to judge.
[Dominator] *turns back to the the others* Take up position to attack, let's not get caught by surprise again...
* Baberlus puts his hand up Steel's neck, making his head a puppet
[Dominator] Would you consider Steel and Matrix to have had high power levels?
[Status`] No.
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *five leap in the window*
[Baberlus] Hewo, I'm steel, I wuv yuuu! *waves the head around*
[Dominator] Fire! *blasts at the nearest two*
* Baberlus puts it up
* Baberlus shoots one in both eyes
* Wiendigo` blasts a reploid out of the window
* Siawase leaps at one, clawing at it's head
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *all fall out, taking Siawase with them*
* Dominator slams his sword through the midsection of the nearest reploid
* Baberlus runs at it, slashing at it's neck, spinning
[Wiendigo`] ...hope that thing has a nice fall.
[Siawase] Ahhhhhhhhhh!
[Status`] ...suggestion: retreat...
* Wiendigo` leaps out the window and lands beside Siawase
[Baberlus] Suggestion: find a place to retreat to.
[Dominator] I'll agree with you there. Wiendigo grab Siawase
* Wiendigo` grabs it and grips the wall and begins to climb back up
[Status`] Suggestion: Move further into the Wastelands.
[Dominator] Everyone, follow me... *heads to the back of the building and looks out the window*
[Status`] Come back later, after the situation is fixed.
[Baberlus] I'll give you a rancid cookie later.
* Wiendigo` throws Siawase into the room and pulls himself in
[Dominator] Agreed. Siawase, can you handle carying Crossfire?
* Wiendigo` fires blasts at the reploids below
* Dominator grabs Crossfire
[Siawase] *looks at crossfire* Siawase don't think so...
[Wiendigo`] Hey, I think I killed that one before...*shoots*
[Dominator] How close are the other reploids, Wiendigo?
* Baberlus tosses a grenade at the reploids
[Wiendigo`] They're coming in the front door, if you care to know...*watches them blow up* Or not.
[Baberlus] make THOSE work again.
[Dominator] How many left now, Status?
* Baberlus smirks
* Wiendigo` grabs Bioharzard
[Dominator] I meant the next wave
[Dominator] Everyone, let's go! *opens the door and moves out*
[Status`] ...more are coming...seems these guys want us dead.
* Wiendigo` drags Enforcer behind him and follows Dominator
[Dominator] No kidding. Let's try and not grant them our wish. Siawase, keep close to the rest of us. Baberlus, take up the rear and fire on anything following us
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *follow*
* Baberlus spins his revolvers
* Dominator looks at the terrain outside (description?)
* Siawase follows, practically underfoot, but not quite
[Status`] GM: The wastelands; so, think, the Wastelands
* Baberlus shoots the reploids at the joints
[Dominator] NRP: Oh. Anything to give us partial cover at least?
[Wiendigo`] Reploids:  *keep coming*
* Dominator blasts back at several.
[Status`] NRP: Sanddunes.
[Dominator] Status, suggestions on where to head?
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *open fire*
* Baberlus flips around, shooting
[Status`] ...Deep into the Wastelands, slow the attackers down.
[Dominator] Let's keep a swift pace... Watch out!
* Wiendigo` ducks the blasts
* Baberlus starts hearing clicks as he shoots
* Dominator blasts into the sand by the reploids, to blind them
[Wiendigo`] Will you guys just MOVE?!
[Baberlus] .....NUT BUNNIES!
* Baberlus runs out of bullets
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *blink in pain*
[Dominator] Fire at the sand near them!
* Wiendigo` throws Enforcer at dom
* Dominator after doing so, blasts at the others with Thunder Bolt
[Wiendigo`] Here, you drag this lug
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *step back and open fire again*
* Dominator grabs him, "I sort of have my hands full all right...
* Wiendigo` fires at the reploids
* Dominator keeps as quick a pace as possible
* Status` begins to think of his will
* Baberlus only has 6 slugs left, and those are classic buckshot......
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *Begin to lag behind*
* Baberlus readies his blade glove
[Baberlus] ........ Bring it on.
* Dominator tosses some ammo over to Baberlus, "Here, I don't need it for THunder Bolt."
[Status`] The reploids are pulling back into the town.
[Baberlus] What kind we got here?
[Dominator] Good, let's keep moving
* Wiendigo` appears beside Dom
[Dominator] Admiting defeat, or...?
[Status`] ...hardly.
[Baberlus] ...Regrouping, no doubt.
* Wiendigo` a single ice blast flies out and nails Wiendigo in the shoulder, driving him into the sand
[Wiendigo`] OUF!
[Dominator] There wasn't anything in the town they could use?
* Baberlus pockets the ammo, hoping it's something half-useful
[Dominator] Wiendigo?!
[Wiendigo`] ...dammit...who the hell shot me?
* Wiendigo` looks around
* Dominator looks out quickly
* Baberlus looks around
[Status`] Figure: *runs by the group*
[Baberlus] ......Ice....... in a desert?
[Dominator] Scan him, Status! *blasts at him*
[Status`] ...scanning...
[Status`] Target IS female
* Dominator firing large semi-circles from force shield
[Status`] Figure: *flips behind a sanddune*
[Siawase] That's a great help...
[Dominator] Female...? No... *tries to get a good look at her*
* Wiendigo` draws katana
[Wiendigo`] A dead female.
[Status`] Figure: *fires more blasts from behind the sand*
* Siawase takes cover.
* Dominator blasts his own to intercept the other blasts
[Dominator] Can you get within close range and take her out Wiendigo? We'll cover you from here
[Wiendigo`] I'll go around behind her and kill her.  Keep her distracted.
* Wiendigo` moves
* Baberlus flips around
[Status`] Figure: *keeps firing, pinning them down*
* Siawase dives into a sand dune
* Dominator keeps firing, "Make it quick, Wiendigo."?
[Baberlus] ...And you said the dead were slow!
[Dominator] NRP: Ignore the ending question mark
[Status`] Figure: *nails Baberlus in the foot*
[Baberlus] AH, DAMN!!!!!!
* Baberlus looks at the wound to see if it's serious
[Status`] Figure: *struggle can be heard and all grows quiet*
* Wiendigo` pops head over the dune
[Wiendigo`] Say, Dominator, we caught ourselves a REAL gem here...
[Dominator] Who...?
* Wiendigo` throws the figure over the dune...she rolls around and lands on her back; a hole can be seen clear through her stomach, which sparks
* Dominator turns her over
[Status`] ...I do not recgonize
[Wiendigo`] GM: The reploid is...well, you know who the hell it is...duhg
* Dominator frowns, shaking head
[Baberlus] .......Jeeze. Not a former employer.... That bitch never paid me for getting my ass kicked by Death Star and that other guy.
[Status`] NRP: BRAVO!
[Dominator] Can't they let even the dead rest in peace...?
* Wiendigo` walks over there
[Baberlus] NRP: Hwee!
[Wiendigo`] Should we kill her...again?
[Baberlus] Check her for gil.
[Baberlus] She owes me, too.
[Dominator] Is anything even left of her though. Status?
[Status`] Well...the memory's wiped cleaned...if we could subdue her, perhaps I can see what's making her attack us...then we could repair that damage.
[Baberlus] .... Why?
[Status`] ...he just asked.
[Baberlus] I mean, why would we want to?
* Wiendigo` grins and runs his katana over her face
[Wiendigo`] Death Star would just love to hear we killed her...
[Dominator] Let's do it then... We'll have a chance to work on her when we're in safe range. Can we keep her disabled?
[Dominator] Wait, Wiendigo.
[Wiendigo`] ...not for long, soldier boy.
[Baberlus] WELL, we should take her weapons, and do something to slow her down.
* Dominator nods, checking to see what weapons she has
[Baberlus] It's just as thought, you know, before she gets up again.
[Status`] GM: the only weapon she has is her icebuster
[Dominator] NRP: Can it be removed?
[Baberlus] NRP: really original name, DS.
[Status`] NRP: ... cut it off.
[Baberlus] Wait.
[Dominator] NRP: Yeah, but would that damage her...?
[Status`] NRP: Yep.
* Baberlus looks for a panel
[Dominator] Hurry, Baberlus
[Baberlus] cut the power cord.
* Wiendigo` keeps running his katana over her face
* Dominator nods
[Baberlus] NRP: find one?
[Status`] NRP: yah.
* Baberlus pries it open
[Dominator] Wiendigo, if she becomes a danger to us again, we attack, but not before then. Understand?
* Baberlus finds one to the blaster, not the arm
[Wiendigo`] ...We'll see.
[Baberlus] Got something to cut with?
[Baberlus] I mean, for a clean cut
* Wiendigo` reaches in and slashes the wire
[Wiendigo`] That do?
[Dominator] It'll do... Close the panel and let's get moving and fast.
[Baberlus] ...... your good with that thing.
* Baberlus closes it, and throws her over his shoulder
* Wiendigo` reaches into a sanddune and pulls out Siawase
[Baberlus] Lets go.
[Wiendigo`] Oh, lookee at what I found.
[Dominator] Wiendigo, you take Enforcer.
[Dominator] I'll take Iceheart...
* Baberlus shrugs
* Wiendigo` drops Siawase on his head and grabs Enforcer
[Baberlus] here ya go, I had her, though.
* Baberlus hands her to him
[Wiendigo`] Why shouldn't I carry the lady?
[Siawase] Siawase was happy hiding there
[Status`] GM: The storm begins to die down
* Dominator doesn't answer Wiendigo and grabs her, starting to move again
[Dominator] Hopefully without the storm, the reploid's will loose power.
[Baberlus] .....Lets move, now
* Wiendigo` drags Enforcer
[Wiendigo`] Wouldn't that kill our dear Iceheart?
[Dominator] We need to get further away, Siawase
[Dominator] ... True
[Dominator] I doubt it'll happen anyway. It provided the jolt for them, I think
[Status`] Perhaps hook her up to a generator...and who has Crossfire?
[Baberlus] Someone hook her up to their core, another reploid here who hads energy to spare
[Dominator] NRP: Uh... Baberlus does
* Wiendigo` keeps dragging Enforcer
[Baberlus] NRP: Baberlus isn't a reploid....
[Wiendigo`] This lazy oaf never wakes up..
[Dominator] Good idea. (NRP: Does Status mean we have a spare generator?)
[Status`] NRP: No...
[Baberlus] NRP: OH! I'm not carrying anyone as far as I know.
[Status`] Reploids: *rush at the group*
* Siawase follows along, with some difficulty
[Dominator] I'll hook her up to my own power source if needed
[Baberlus] RUN!
[Wiendigo`] Our dead bedfellows are back.
* Baberlus shoots at the reploids
[Dominator] Damn! Keep moving... *fires at the approaching reploids and the sand near them*
[Status`] Reploids: *one falls; the other 20 keep coming*
[Status`] Suggestion: head back to town if possible.
* Baberlus conserves the ammo Dom gave him, slashing at the ones he can
[Status`] Reploids: *more fall*
[Status`] Reploids: *tackle the group to the ground*
* Baberlus slashes the one that tackled him
* Wiendigo` throws one over his shoulder into a sanddune
[Baberlus] 's head off
[Baberlus] .....be beheaded!
* Wiendigo` guts another reploid leaping at dom
[Wiendigo`] Watch your back.
[Dominator] To the town...?
* Dominator blasts and slashes them off
* Baberlus shoves his shotgun into one's mouth, and fires
[Wiendigo`] If you want to push through these reploids..
[Status`] Reploid: *remaining 13 back away, one grabbing Siawase*
* Dominator slams sword through one, and puts Thunder Bolt to ones head, firing
* Dominator holds onto Iceheart's body with Enemy Ensnare
[Status`] Reploids: *the remaining 11 run off*
[Wiendigo`] Cowards!
* Wiendigo` firees at them
[Dominator] Expand on what you mean, Status
* Baberlus throws one of the heads at another, pegging it HARD
[Baberlus] RUN! Wooo!
[Baberlus] Okay, lets get going.
[Status`] Well, we're in the middle of nowhere.  We'd be better off at the town and waiting for our comrads to awaken...perhaps Cortin has a generator for Iceheart.
[Dominator] They may be trying to analyze what we'll do... Then again, they don't seem to be too intelligent. Who knows how many the Tsivrixsh ave. Can you tell, Status?
[Status`] NRP: *has clevely kidnapped Siawase*
[Status`] ...no, but with this storm over, no more can wake up.
[Dominator] How many were there at last scan?
[Wiendigo`] Shadow Knight: *leaps down and tackles Dominator*
[Baberlus] Dom, you might want to hook up the bitch to yourself, she may turn off in a bit.
* Baberlus kicks SK off
[Baberlus] HEY, no.
[Wiendigo`] Shadow Knight: *slashes with his sword at Baberlus*
[Dominator] And they have Siawa-... *gets tackled, but rolls SK off him, slashing at his arm*
* Baberlus blocks with his glove
* Dominator his sword arm, at that
[Wiendigo`] Shadow Knight: *loses his sword arm and it sparks*
* Baberlus kicks SK in the face as hard as he can
* Dominator fires a water blast with Thunder Bolt Enhancement into the open arm, to short circut SK
* Wiendigo` kicks SK into the sand
[Wiendigo`] SK: *short circuits and falls over, motionless again*
[Baberlus] ....You guys know him, too?
[Wiendigo`] Eh, not worth remembering.
[Dominator] Let's head back to town and try and find Cotrin
[Status`] NRP: Venerator: *Appears, drooling insanely*
[Dominator] One of the original members of the reformed Hunters... He was killed by Sigma
[Dominator] NRP: Nooooo!
[Baberlus] NRP: LOL
[Siawase] NRP: Am I really kidnapped?
[Dominator] NRP: Anyway, his bodies in a million pieces as space debris
[Status`] NRP: Yes.
* Dominator heads back to town keeping an eye out
[Dominator] Let's see if we can get Siawase back...
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *begin to twist Siawase's body around*
[Dominator] NRP: Do we see those reploids?
[Baberlus] NRP: Siawase enjoy this!
[Wiendigo`] NRP: In the distance
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: *punches Siawase*
* Dominator prepares an emergency hook up for Iceheart, in case, plus Enemy Ensnare can feed her energy
[Wiendigo`] Looks like we found the lost comrad.
[Dominator] Let's move to attack.
[Dominator] See if we can surprise. We move in, get Siawase, and move out. Got it?
[Dominator] (surprise them)
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: *looks at dom, raises blaster in the air, and fires, as if scaring off a bear*
[Siawase] Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!
* Wiendigo` vanishes into the shadows
* Dominator absorbs it with Rune Sword
* Dominator blasts Thunder Bolt at the reploid group
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: *goes back to twisting Siawase*
* Baberlus tackles Ebony
[Wiendigo`] Reploids: *fall over*
* Wiendigo` grabs Siawase
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: *punches Baberlus*
* Baberlus punches and slashes at him
[Siawase] Siawase not happy...
[Baberlus] EAT...*punches/slashes* THIS!
* Dominator teleports by Wiendigo and grabs Siawase
[Wiendigo`] ...hey!
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: Ragh!
[Dominator] Are you all right? And stay close to us this time
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: *Bites baberlus' neck*
* Dominator blasts Ebony from behind
[Siawase] Siawase stay close!
[Wiendigo`] Ebony: *falls forward into the sand*
* Baberlus shoots him in the eye, point blank
* Baberlus throws him off
[Baberlus] .....agh...
* Baberlus holds his neck
[Wiendigo`] I must say, seeing all these dead comrads is quite boring.
[Dominator] NRP: Any left where we are?
[Status`] NRP: Nope
* Dominator continues heading to the town (distance?)
[Wiendigo`] NRP: 10 km
* Wiendigo` is tackled by another reploid
[Wiendigo`] Ragh!
* Dominator blasts the reploid off Wiendigo
[Wiendigo`] Reploid UO: *flies off*
[Dominator] NRP: We got that far? Wow
[Dominator] ...Ultra Omega...
[Baberlus] Kilath?
[Wiendigo`] Reploid UO: Ughh...
[Wiendigo`] KILL IT!
* Wiendigo` stabs the reploid in the head
[Dominator] A reploid version of him...
[Wiendigo`] Damn clones.
* Baberlus punches him back
* Wiendigo` stands up
[Dominator] There can't be many left...
[Dominator] I'm surprised one was constructed for him though
[Status`] Iceheart: *groans*
[Baberlus] Your saying someone actually went to the touble to clone that bastard?
* Baberlus shoots at UO
[Wiendigo`] Sleeping beauty is waking up.
* Dominator turns and looks at Iceheart, asking Status for her... status
[Status`] ...waking up, slowly..
[Dominator] Can we keep her asleep somehow? With some of the medkit drugs we have?
[Wiendigo`] NRP: Venerator: *leaps out and bites Dom's neck*
* Status` shocks Ice and she falls offline again
[Dominator] NRP: Grr... Sorry, but he's gone... 
[Baberlus] NRP: Veneratior: *jumps out and gives Dom sweet lovin*
[Status`] NRP: *Watches all of Sigma's bodies rise up*
[Dominator] That works... We need to keep her alive, but until we can override her Tsivrixsh programming and perhaps save her...
* Dominator keeps moving toward the city
* Wiendigo` drags Enforcer
[Wiendigo`] Well, Dominator, what do you plan on doing with her afterward?  Getting close and personal?
[Dominator] *casts a glare at Wiendigo* We owe it to Death Star to try and help her if we can
[Wiendigo`] I owe him nothing.
[Dominator] Fine, if you feel that way, but I'm going to try and help her
[Baberlus] He owes me A million Gil.
* Wiendigo` kicks sand at dom and Baberlus
* Dominator ignores Wiendigo
[Siawase] Who DeathStar?
* Baberlus ignores the sand, thinking he's better than wien anyway.
[Dominator] The old leader of the Maverick Hunters. He got us through the first Alien War... Iceheart was his lover...
[Wiendigo`] ...yeah, and then he killed her.  Poetic.
[Dominator] As for Death Star, he may yet be alive... but we aren't sure
* Wiendigo` arrives at the city
[Wiendigo`] Well, we're home again.
* Wiendigo` dumps Enforcer against a building wall and walks off.
[Dominator] And you haven't had anything so painful like that happen to you, Wiendigo? I'd think you could understand Death Star's position at least a little
* Wiendigo` mutters something and flips Dom off.
[Dominator] *calls out* Watch for reploids and report if you see them... *doesn't press anything further with Wiendigo*
[Baberlus] I think he said he loves you.
*** Wiendigo` is now known as GM
[Dominator] NRP: Where's uh... the mayor of his city? (What's his name?)
[Status`] NRP: Cortin
[Dominator] Let's find Cortin.
[Status`] ...I thought that meant fuck you.
[Dominator] It does, Status, it does... It's Wiendigo's way of expressing things...
[Baberlus] My, Status has a mouth....
[Status`] ...*beeps*
*** GM is now known as Cortin
[Cortin] Doooominator!!!  *runs up, panting* What the hell just happened?!
[Dominator] I wish I knew myself... As far as I can tell, this storm activated reploids the Tsivrixsh dropped. The reploids moved to attack us. We lured those we could out of the city and took them out. Any left here?
[Cortin] No...they all seemed to go after you.
[Dominator] Cortin, do you have a generator we can use to help keep this reploid *motions to Iceheart* alive? And any technology for altering her programming would be helpful
[Cortin] ...we have a generator...is she that important?
[Dominator] I hope she can be saved... for a friend... I doubt she can, but perhaps... perhaps
[Cortin] Alright, we'll hook her up.  But I can't do anything 'bout her memory...*calls over some men and they drag Iceheart off*
[Dominator] Most of the reploids sent at us were old friends or acquantances of ours. The Tsivrixsh are probably trying to demoralize us
*** Ripple (Zeno@sktnsk01d051501188.sk.sympatico.ca) has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Ripple
[Status`] Enforcer is coming online...
[Siawase] Siawase really not like Tsivrixsh...
[Dominator] Keep her safe, but don't let her regain conconious until we can make sure she's safe
[Ripple] NRP: thats enforcer..
*** Ripple is now known as Enforcer
* Dominator turns to Enforcer and uses the medkit a bit, to help rouse him
[Baberlus] .....If we can't fix her memory.... it may only hurt DeathStar more.
[Status`] NRP: Shiiiit, we've called him Enforcer this ENTIRE time.
[Status`] NRP: *will fix that in the logs*
[Baberlus] NRP: NOT ME!
[Enforcer] NRP: Haz was my pirates.
[Siawase] NRP: Wasn't Bio the pirate?
[Dominator] NRP: D'oh, eh?
[Enforcer] NRP: *nod*
[Baberlus] NRP: I just never corrected ya, it was funny!
[Dominator] Well, you missed quite an ordeal, Enforcer...
* Enforcer blinks
[Dominator] NRP: Suuure, Baberlus, suuure
[Enforcer] wha.. what in the hell happened?
[Baberlus] NRP:..... okay I admit.
[Cortin] ...*goes off to do Mayor things*
[Enforcer] NRP: fill me in... i've still got about 600 watts of solid bass floating around my head (just installed my new stereo)
[Status`] NRP: We said hi to mr. Steel
[Dominator] Well, it's a long story...
* Baberlus waves around Steel
[Baberlus] 's head
[Baberlus] NRP: EVIL ENTER KEY!
* Status` scans Siawase
* Siawase curls up on Dominator's head and goes to sleep
[Dominator] Baberlus, but that away... Have at least some respect for the dead...
[Status`] Why does Siawase hide and sleep?
[Baberlus] Not him.
[Status`] NRP: Venerator: *pops up again* Don't forget ME!
* Enforcer makes an effort to stand
[Status`] ...*goes silent, having been ignored*
[Siawase] u.u - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
[Dominator] He's not meant for combat... Well, no one really is... *does a weak laugh* Then again, some would say reploids were... I wonder how much we'll have to follow our destiny then if that's what it is... We had a perfect world, one that I felt I could finally retire in in peace... but it wasn't to stay. And now we have to work as hard as possible to get it back again.
[Enforcer] NRP: *awaits someone filling him in*
[Status`] ...er, was that what they call a speech?
[Baberlus] NRP: LOL thats why he was ignored! Dom gave a speech!
[Dominator] ... I suppose so...
[Enforcer] NRP: on the count of three, kill dom.
[Dominator] More of a reflection, but...
[Status`] NRP: 1
[Enforcer] NRP: 2...
[Status`] ...a speech, correct?
* Baberlus kills Dom
[Status`] ...EEEP!
[Baberlus] NRP: been counting to 3 all day!
* Enforcer blinks
[Baberlus] NRP: OH GEEZE!
[Dominator] NRP: Hrm
[Enforcer] Great.  He killed our leader. GET EM BOYS!
[Status`] NRP: He killed the President!
* Enforcer lunges at Baberlus
[Baberlus] NRP: ROFL
[Status`] ....I'm hanging onto a dead maaaan!! HEEEELP!
[Dominator] NRP: Uh oh, am I coming back now as a zombie?
[Enforcer] NRP: welcome to the comedy hour..
[Dominator] NRP: Apparently so...
[Status`] NRP: With your host, TAW!
