[Iceheart] Time Chart: Same Day
[Iceheart] Location: Unknown
* Snipe drags Dias around
[Snipe] Damn...heavy...oaf.
* Dominator glances at Dias and Snipe
[Wiendigo] *nudges IH* How's the gut holdin' up?
*** Enforcer (jvc19@nas-34-76.chicago.navipath.net) has joined #taw
*** Wiendigo sets mode: +o Enforcer
[Iceheart] Tender, but fine.
* Dominator turns back to Garland, who's been telling him about recent events
[Siawase] =u.u= - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
[Gravedigger] *looks at IH and Wien* Guy? Wha?
[Booster] NRP: How much time has passed?  Have we been told anything yet?
[Gravedigger] (Gut)
[Iceheart] NRP: An hour.
[Iceheart] NRP: And...no
* Enforcer lugs Shatter around, still....
*** Dias-Away has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
[Iceheart] NRP: 'Cept for Gar babbling about his life
* Snipe lets Dias' head hit a rock
[Enforcer] NRP: To Dom.
* Garland sighs
[Booster] Hmm... it's too bad chess doesn't lend itself to being played on a walk... what else could we play to pass the time...
[Garland] I hear-tell things have been rough for you guys, huh, Dad?
* Ariel is silent, lost in thought.
[Snipe] ...."I spy"?
[Wiendigo] ...We could kill somethin', that's always fun.
* Snipe looks around at the desert
[Snipe] I spy something brown.
* Booster ignores Wiendigo.  "That sounds fun, Snipe."
[Dominator] Unfortunetly, yes, Garland. It's not easy to survive here on Earth anymore.
* Booster looks around...
* Siawase does the best thing you can do on long trips, sleep.
[Dominator] We're been through North America and Europe... They're not much better than this sadly
[Wiendigo] Is it your assho-*is stopped by Gravedigger*
[Gravedigger] Easy, boss, easy...
* Booster winces.
[Garland] Yeah, But we hears about a place called 'Paradise' from an old guy, anything you know?
[Gravedigger] I still don't trust that guy.
* Iceheart walks along
[Dominator] Paradise... Apparently it's a Tsivrixsh-created holo-simulator
[Snipe] Hmmmm...
[Garland] Whaa?
[Dominator] Status, how close are we to the ship now?
* Snipe muses, as if fitting pieces of a puzzle together
[Cheryl] Oh, now THAT sounds like fun...
[Iceheart] Status: 10 miles
[Garland] That man said it was a place....
* Booster blinks, distracted.  "They made it?..."
[Dominator] We've learned a little about it, but not much unfortunetly... It is a place... In a manner of speaking
[Wiendigo] And you were a dumbass for listening to him.
[Garland] Hrm......
* Garland ignores Wien
[Snipe] Holo-simulator...but why out here...
[Wiendigo] Venus fly trap, kid.
[Snipe] No, no, not that at all.
[Cheryl] Put it in the most desolate place so they're not wasting any place useful?
[Dominator] That's the question, Snipe. I don't know why they chose a damaged world like Earth in the far reaches, at least last I checked, of their Empire
[Garland] .....You might be right, Wien.
* Booster nods to Wien...  "Unfortunately, that makes sense..."
[Snipe] I bet there's a lot more to this holo-simulated world than you guys are giving it credit.
[Cheryl] I mean, why waste some place good when you have a perfectly useless place to put it.
[Snipe] I mean, they didn't even use it as bait for us.  And keeping 20 ships posted around a planet to keep you guys on it isn't their plan.  They are guarding something.
[Wiendigo] It makes better sense. Have the surviving human population drag their half-dead asses through the desert, whoever doesn't die along the way can get erradicated there.
[Garland] .....It might have something to do with why the fleets are guarding the planet so closely....
[Dominator] I wonder though... Why not create it closer to the center of their Empire? Perhaps it has something to do with what Death Star is searching for...?
[Snipe] Death Star was secretive...I wouldn't be surprised of he knew of this and wants it for himself.
[Snipe] Well, for us.
[Dominator] We know all too well about the fleet. It's basically precluded any chance we have of escaping from Earth...
[Wiendigo] Because we've been pissing them off for years. They want revenge.
[Garland] I think...... They want something from Earth, not it's inhabitance dead, or it's destruction, but....what?
[Snipe] Revenge?  The empire has better things to do than revenge, Wiendigo.  Don't think we're so important.
*** Pteryx (Pteryx@3048-maine-56k.ime.net) has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Pteryx
[Pteryx] NRP: ACK!  Re...
[Snipe] NRP: Eep.  Missed some good debating.
* Ariel doesn't add to the conversation because she's too busy thinking about something.
[Dominator] They've taken it already though... Our world is destroyed... I think they location may be important for their holo-paradise... then again, perhaps I'm thinking us to important, as Snipe suggests
* Iceheart is lost in her own thought also
[Garland] Other planets have beaten back the small armies allotted to the planets, too, not just Earth.
[Wiendigo] Listen here, punk, we put a pretty damn big dent in their ego's before, I'm pretty sure they're not above humilation and pay back.
[Pteryx] NRP: What were the last few lines?
[Snipe] I think blowing our planet was enough for that.
[Snipe] Everyone in the galaxy saw our noses rubbed.  I don't think 20 ships flying around is meant for revenge.
[Ariel] ...Snipe, this isn't blown up.
*** Booster has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
*** Pteryx is now known as Booster
[Dominator] Earth didn't agree to join their empire, so they moved in to conquer us... We beat them, so they waited and moved in to destroy us... *scowls, then sighs* And now, this paradise... and whatever Death Star is searching for that can help us
[Snipe] It sure looks it to me!  Who knows when this planet is just going to up and die, Ariel?
* Garland looks at the ground, as if looking through it
[Dominator] Hmm, the fact that they were willing to destroy our planet at the end of the Alien Wars suggests that the location might not be important for their holo-paradise. Then again, they simply might not have devised that project yet
[Wiendigo] There's no satisfaction in just blowing up Earth. Earth moved against them, so what better way to show off how big of balls they have then by enslaving the one planet that actually made a stand?
* Snipe snorts at Wiendigo
[Booster] ...Whatever the case is, I suppose I need to find someplace more certainly safe to bring the orphans...
[Snipe] I'm going to love it when we prove you wrong about this entire 'Paradise' dela.
[Gravedigger] ...Orphans?
[Ariel] *sighs and shakes her head*  You couldn't understand...
[Wiendigo] Go screw yourself, kid.
[Dominator] Any idea how the Empire's other conquests are going, Snipe? Badly, I hope...
[Snipe] Uh huh, some comeback.
[Snipe] Excellent.
* Garland closes his eyes, contemplating things he'd only be told to be quiet if he brought them up
[Snipe] Only DS seems to be putting any real irritation into their life.
* Booster sighs and shakes his head.  "I hope they're all right...  A few days ago, I had to leave the inhabitants of the DeBonne Orphanage in a cave..."
[Snipe] He's intent on starting a war.
[Wiendigo] Don't go wetting your bed on a count of me, Snippy.
[Garland] ....And I'm with him.
[Dominator] Do you have any other races on your side?
[Snipe] No.  DS hopes freeing Earth will get some to join us.
[Garland] The more I think, the more I begin to understand his intentions.
[Ariel] Wien, they obviously want this planet.  It'd be part of the asteroid belt otherwise... *hint of a tear in her eyes*
* Iceheart glances at Ariel, but says nothing
* Enforcer trudges on
[Dominator] It might. It would show a great deal of spite toward the Tsivrixsh Empire, something I am quite willing to give. Plus, it would show that they can be defeated, if you try hard enough... I only hope other races will realize and believe this. Alliance is the only way to fell a giant like the Tsivrixsh Empire
[Enforcer] Either way, we're going to knock some heads on the way.
[Snipe] Yeah, and Death Star wants to lead it all.  Of course.
[Wiendigo] Well no SHIT, Cheryl. Or Ariel. Whichever the hell one you are, I never bother to remember.
[Dominator] Unfortunetly, the Empire has the advantages. They are much better organized than the worlds against them are... More technological advantaged on the whole, I suspect, and already in motion and no doubt having prepared long for war
[Dominator] Death Star helped us win the first Alien War, Snipe. Don't underestimate him.
[Snipe] Better to die trying.
[Snipe] Oh, I don't.  I just don't care for his thinking all the time.
* Garland listens to everyone debate
[Ariel] I'm the one that wouldn't think twice about pounding your face in Wien.
[Wiendigo] Ooo, look at me, I'm shakin' in my boots.
* Garland glances at Wien
* Booster 's gaze is a bit distant now as he goes on...  "The Sierra Nevada... the cave should be there somewhere..."
[Dominator] We need all the allies we can get in this fight and Death Star is definetely an ally I'd want on my side... I haven't seen him for almost two decades now, but I'd wager he's only improved his prowess and resolve against the Tsivrixsh in the meantime
[Snipe] Anyway, I don't think Death Star's plans have been going the way he hoped.  I mean, I don't think he planned on being shot down.
[Ariel] No... but it smells like you just pissed your pants
[Dominator] Yes... The Mavericks working with you had their ship shot down. Any idea if they escaped alive?
[Snipe] Yes.  They are somewhere else, exploring.  We're all to meet back at twilight at the ship
[Garland] Dad, I don't think pysical strength is the limit to his power anymore.
[Wiendigo] I'm sorry? What? I couldn't hear over the wind, you just pissed your pants? Jeeze, weren't yuo suppsoed to have grown out of that already?
* Iceheart enjoys listening to Wiendigo and Ariel fighting
[Dominator] Good. The more forces the better... Even though I still don't know what Death Star's whole plan is. He'd better survive, since the way he's set it up, the entire success of your mission depends on him being alive to lead you
[Snipe] Yeah.  It's all up to Death Star.  As usual.
[Snipe] No one ELSE can take his place.
[Ariel] If someone needs to grow up, it's you if that's the best you can come up with.
[Dominator] That's a dangerous method though... I hope he'll speak frankly about his plan to me.
[Garland] It's not up to Death Star alone.
[Garland] I think..... *goes into deep thought*
[Snipe] We all know Death Star is far stronger than we could hope to become.
[Snipe] Or if we do, he'll be twice that by then.
[Wiendigo] Please, give me a break. You're pathetic, lady.
[Booster] ...Death Star...  I think I have something to ask him...
* Booster seems to be staring off into space, though apparently he's not really oblivious to the world.
* Garland thinks on what Snipe just said
[Dominator] Death Star's methods are his own... they are certainly different than most people's, even mine... but, somehow, he manages to come out on top... We have to hope..
[Dominator] We'll be here to help you in your plan, as well
[Snipe] Sure.  Just don't try to take my spot on the team.
* Ariel shakes her head and keeps walking.
[Dominator] *chuckles lightly* We'll have to see what happens, Mr. McCormick...
[Wiendigo] *talks low* Now I remember why I let them al ltihnk I was dead.
* Booster shakes his head, then says to himself, "Can't worry about that.  Not now..."
* Iceheart nods in response
[Iceheart] Status: Alert.
[Wiendigo] NRP: Shit, BRB
[Dominator] What is it, Status?
* Siawase wakes up and trys to keep from falling off.
* Booster blinks and glances at Status.
[Iceheart] Status: I've picked up two hundred troops forming a circle around us
[Garland] ......
[Snipe] What?!  We've never faced that many at once before!
[Dominator] What?! Tsivrixsh troops?
[Iceheart] Status: Affirmative.
[Booster] ...Two... two hundred?!
* Garland stops walking
[Dominator] The same type we faced early at the damaged ship?
[Iceheart] Status: Yes.  Better armed.
[Iceheart] Status: Higher Power Levels.
[Dominator] Damn. We have a problem...
[Dominator] How long until they are in range?
* Garland gets into a stance, boosting his power.
[Snipe] How long until the circle gets to us?
[Booster] Well, Wiendigo, time to work your attitude problem out on the right targets...
[Iceheart] Status: 20 minutes if we remain stationary
* Garland looks around for any strategic locations
[Garland] NRP: GM?
[Iceheart] GM: *They are just in plain desery, no big sanddunes*
[Dominator] And there's no hole in their circle?
[Iceheart] NRP: desert
[Iceheart] Status: *silent* Negative.
[Snipe] *sighs* What are the odds...
[Iceheart] Status: .... none.
[Dominator] ...They may have found and captured the ship itself... Regardless of that, there seems to be nothing we can do to escape
[Garland] Are they in groups, or single units?
[Iceheart] Status: They are acting as one...if that is understandable.
[Booster] They probably specifically planned this...
[Snipe] Yeah, a trap in wait.
[Garland] Yes, but how far appart is each unit from the other?
[Dominator] *glances at Snipe* You and I will be in command. I suggest we work together as one... I'm not about to loose when we're gotten this fault. We have time to prepare for them at least...
[Iceheart] Status: Within seeing distance.
[Snipe] ...if we can hold off, maybe Death Star will come..hey, Gar, your comm?
[Garland] Hrm. If we ran to the perimeter of the cirlce...... we could take out 2 at a time as they arive.
[Dominator] At least they don't have any tanks...
[Garland] He won't answer, remember?
[Snipe] Well, try!
[Dominator] Try again anyway
[Snipe] If he hears we're in trouble.
* Garland sighs
[Garland] Alright.
* Garland pulls it out, and speaks into ti
[Booster] Attempting a preemptive strike against any one unit wouldn't work... that'd cause a chain reaction of reinforcements arriving...
[Garland] Comm: DeathStar? We have a problem....
[Dominator] I'm not sure how well we'll do even with Death Star, but we can try... Can you get a hold of those mavericks?
[Garland] NRP: Death Star.
* Enforcer stands there, holding Shatter
[Snipe] Comm: *just statics, meaning it's open, but DS in unable, or unwilling to, respond*
* Snipe lays down Dias
* Snipe checks his power on his rifle
[Garland] Comm: Come in, or make some kind of notification you can hear me?
[Snipe] Everyone, draw your assault rifles.  Lets try to shoot them when they come in sight.
* Dominator readies his rifle
[Snipe] Comm: *boop*
* Snipe grabs his rifle and kneels down, setting up sniping position
[Booster] ...Er, rifle?
[Snipe] No sense in getting into close combat if we can help it.
[Garland] Comm: ....Right, we'll try to take care of it ourselves...
[Dominator] Snipe's right. Move into a tight circle. We need to take down each of their waves as quickly as possible. They'll try and close in on us, then seperate us. We have a better chance if we fight closely together
* Iceheart pulls her's out and kneels down, facing the opposite way
[Snipe] Comm: *Boop*
* Ariel actually pulls out her rifle for once.
[Dominator] Hopefully long-range weapons can fend alot of them off. *charges his rifle in one hand and Thunder Bolt in the other*
[Dominator] I have an idea. Who has ice weapons here?
[Garland] Or we could run to the side of the circle, and take on that side alone untill the other sides arrive.
[Ariel] Frosty.
* Iceheart doesn't respond to the name
* Garland blinks at the comm
* Cheryl pulls out her rifle.
[Snipe] I think that's DS' way of telling you he can hear you, Garland.
[Booster] My only long-range weapon needs throwing room... but i can try to eliminate anyone who manages to get too close to our formation.
* Dominator switches to ice mode on Thunder Bolt and blasts the ground a bit away from them, creating a slippery layer of ice, "Anyone who can, help me make this ice barrier. This might come in handy."
[Garland] I noticed, but I only expected on sound.
* Dominator keeps the layers some, so they aren't very noticeable
[Snipe] At least we know DS' is alive.
[Ariel] Hey Frosty, shouldn't you help out?
[Garland] Yeah.
[Iceheart] Huh?  *looks at Ariel*  What?
* Iceheart finishes her rifle checks
* Enforcer puts Shatter down, drawing his rifles
* Dominator nudges Iceheart on the shoulder, "Spread some ice around with me."
[Ariel] Help Dom with the Ice Barrier, okay?
[Iceheart] Right
* Iceheart waves hands and ice seems to leap from the ground, adding to the barrier instantly and quickly
* Garland tries to think of a strategy
[Dominator] When they hit the barrier, it'll trip them. We'll continue a barrage of fire. The heat should melt the ice, then whoever can will blast with electric attacks, and the water will spread the shock
[Snipe] Well, guys...nice knowing you.
[Booster] I'll position myself outside the barrier, in case anyone comes too close.  My coals would harm it anyway...
[Siawase] Siawase can do that.
[Dominator] We have a chance yet, perhaps... Iceheart, concentrate on freezing those in front. It'll slow down the officers behind them, giving us a chance to open fire on both
[Garland] Don't worry John, we have more numbers than we usually do, and you said yourself we're the most kick-ass team.
[Snipe] And tell Death Star he owes me big time for this.
* Booster nods to Dominator.
[Iceheart] We're in a circle, Dom.  Which front shall I take?
[Dominator] Status, how long do we have?
[Iceheart] Status: 7 minutes until we see them.
[Dominator] *points* Stay there. I'll freeze them on the opposite side
[Iceheart] Right
[Dominator] We can each freeze in a semi-circle
[Snipe] If we can blow sand into their faces...that'll slow them down.
[Snipe] Anything we can add to our advantage.
[Garland] Okay, Those better with melee combat, I think should do so, while others provide cover fire? Provided this ice/water plan works.
[Booster] I can blow ashes...
[Snipe] Good idea, Booster.
[Wiendigo] *nods to Grave* Let's do it.
[Dominator] Right. We have to slow them down, so we can hit more. Anyone have wind attacks?
[Dominator] If not, simply shoot the sand near them
* Garland thinks for a moment
* Gravedigger nods and takes out his Pyscho Scythe and Dark Sai, standing ready
[SOUND]
[Snipe] Don't do anything heroic.
* Wiendigo takes out his katana and charges it
[Snipe] I don't want anyone playing hero.
[Garland] No, but I can make a large group of them feel a really bad sting.
[Snipe] That'll only get you killed.
* Booster laughs.
[Snipe] Just do this standard military style.
[Garland] Snipe, if we're gonna win, we ALL have to play hero.
[Wiendigo] Dying in battle, or dying worthlessly, hrm, let me think on that...
[Booster] Would any of us be in this racket if we didn't want to play hero?
[Dominator] Snipe's right. We use close-range combat as a last resort. Our main attack should trim and scatter them up a good deal
[Snipe] Against 200, you might save us for a few minutes, but you'll die.  Then we'll die because you died.
[Snipe] I want you to fight like a SOLDIER.
[Snipe] NOT a hero.
[Snipe] Heroes only get themselves killed..
* Garland raises a finger
[Dominator] It's important to stick together. That way, Iceheart and I can freeze soldiers, while the rest of you pound them. If you move off, you'll only get in the way and get killed
[Booster] Well, we do have a plan nailed down...
[Iceheart] Frost.
[Garland] ...Nah, I won't say it, I'll follow orders.
[Iceheart] Frosty.
[Dominator] Well, Snipe, I'd say we'll all be heroes if we can manage this...
[Snipe] True.
[Wiendigo] Screw you, Snippy, I'm not a soldier, I'm a fighter.
[Garland] Dad, let it go, Ice is gone, What would DS think if you were dwelling on her?
[Snipe] See you in hell then.
* Ariel eyes Dom curiously.
[Wiendigo] I'l lsave you a prime spot, kid.
[Booster] . o O (Either he'll save us, or kill us...)
* Garland looks at Ariel, silently conversing with her
[Dominator] Sorry... I'm concentrating on the plan now. I meant Frosty...
[Gravedigger] ...I'm not even gettin' into this....
[Snipe] Well, I'll see you burn from my nice location!
* Garland forms two balls of ki in his hands
[Snipe] Status: .... they're here
[Garland] Everyone, take positions and get ready..!!
[Dominator] Get ready.
[SOUND]
* Dominator charges his weapons
[Iceheart] GM: *a line of troops appear as dots, far, far away*
[Wiendigo] Heh...that was quite possbily the most retarded comeback I've ever heard.
[Dominator] Remember, let them hit the ice layer by surprise. Avoid shooting near it
[Snipe] I hope your ass roasts.
* Wiendigo raises his arm cannon and charges a blast
* Garland narrows his eyes, as he throws one of the balls at one of the dots
* Snipe looks through his scope
[Snipe] Out of range.
[Dominator] The important thing then is to shoot like hell... *surveys the soldiers* 
[Dominator] Tell us when they're in range, Snipe.
[Wiendigo] Only after I rip your head off and shit down the hole.
[Snipe] We're Death Star when you want him?
[Dominator] *looks at Iceheart* Ready?
* Garland concentrates, trying to compensate for range and dodging
[Snipe] Where is
* Gravedigger raises his arm cannon too
[Iceheart] As ever.
[Booster] My ash blower has a limited range...  I'll have to run up to them...
[Dominator] Good.
[Iceheart] GM: *A barrage of green blasts comes flying at them*
[Snipe] DUCK!
[Cheryl] You better stay back.
* Snipe ducks
* Wiendigo rolls
* Dominator ducks
* Ariel stays low to the ground.
* Gravedigger leans back
* Garland falls onto his back dodging
[Snipe] Still out of range.
* Booster ducks and covers...
* Garland keeps the ball going, straining
[Wiendigo] Grave, dig a trench.
[Iceheart] They're coming in from behind us...*looks at the circle*
[Dominator] They'll loose their range advantage soon...
[Iceheart] And there's tons of them...
* Garland gets up checking it's course
[Iceheart] GM: *literally, tons of warriors can be see, looking like one solid wall all around them*
[Gravedigger] Roger.
[Dominator] After they break the ice barrier, blast near their feet. We can try and cave in the ground there.
[Booster] Snipe, I think I should try to hiunder as many as I can before they get in range of your weapons...  I can run like crazy if I have to...
[Dominator] The Tsivrixsh seem a bit interested in us...
* Gravedigger starts digging fox holes and trenches while staying low
[Snipe] Alright.
[Booster] NRP: hinder, even.
* Ariel uses her powersystem to increase the power on the rifle.
[Snipe] Yeah, kill their enemies.
[Snipe] In range in 1 minute.
[Iceheart] GM: *A barrage of green blasts comes flying at them*
* Snipe ducks
* Garland ducks again
[Wiendigo] Well Jesus Dom, why on earth would that be? It couldn't be possbily because we're TRYING TO STOP THEM, COULD IT?
[Dominator] Down! *blasts normal Thunder Bolt at the blasts, then ducks*
[Garland] ......Hmph.
[SOUND]
* Booster activates his speed enhancement module, then races towards the enemy, generating a heat aura once he's sufficiently far from the ice wall...
* Wiendigo gets into the trench
[Dominator] Their manner of fire suggests they are well organized. I doubt we can get them to scatter easily.
[Garland] NRP: *plays Scatman*
[Ariel] Fool!
[Snipe] Enemy: *50 open fire on booster, leaving no room for escape*
[Snipe] BOOSTEEER!
[Dominator] Don't follow him!
[Snipe] IN RANGE!
[Wiendigo] NRP: Heh, Scatman...
* Garland blurs, grabbing Booster
* Ariel opens fire.
* Snipe sits up and fires his rifle, taking out two
[Booster] NRP: I thought you were saying "alright" to me...
* Garland jumps staight up
* Enforcer opens fire
[Snipe] GM: *more blasts follow, hit Gar, taking 7,000 AP*
[Booster] NRP: Did I mishear?
* Gravedigger starts firing
[Garland] AGH!!!!!!
[Dominator] Follow the pattern! Wait for the ice until they hit the ice layer! *blasts at them*
* Snipe keeps firing
* Garland falls to his knee
[Wiendigo] Let's blow some serious shit up!
* Iceheart fires ice at them
* Wiendigo fires
[Garland] Booster, get going!
[Dominator] Garland, Booster, get down into the trenches!
* Snipe keeps firing
[Booster] NRP: He got going...
* Garland rolls into the trench
* Dominator switches modes and fires ice as well
[Garland] Agh......
[Snipe] GM: *the troops on fire, this time level with them except for those in the trenches
[Snipe] Oh shit!
* Cheryl runs over to help Booster, then Garland.
* Snipe rolls int othe trench
* Iceheart keeps firing ice al laround
[Iceheart] ARAGH!
* Iceheart is hit and falls, bleeding
[Garland] NRP: I took the shots FOR Booster
* Dominator fires ice at the blasts near, Force Shield blocking the rest
[Snipe] Dammit, we might have taken down 16.
[Snipe] Might have
[Wiendigo] SHIT!
* Booster makes it into the trenches...
* Snipe raises above the trench and fires
* Garland works on healing himself
* Wiendigo stops firing and checks on IH
[Snipe] DIE YOU BASTARDS!
[Dominator] Urgh... Move down into the trenches
[Booster] I think there's meen some miscommunication here!
* Iceheart dives into the trenches
[Iceheart] So much for the ice wall
[Cheryl] NRP: Didn't booster get shot, then you?
[Booster] NRP: been, even.
* Dominator keeps low in the trenches, but high enough to fire over them
[Garland] That's it....
* Iceheart raises and fires ice
* Garland pops up
[Dominator] Keep up the fire!
* Gravedigger keeps firing
[Snipe] Dammit, someone needs to cover our backs
* Snipe turns and fires behind them, nailing more
[Garland] KIAMA! *fires as wide a blast as he can*
* Booster lowers his heat aura so as not to melt the ice early.
[Snipe] *troops open fire again*
* Dominator fires ice the opposite way that Iceheart is
[Dominator] They'll hit the ice layer soon...
[Snipe] *Troops stop and position themselves outside the ice ring*
* Dominator ducks into the trenches
* Ariel keeps firing.
[Dominator] *frowns* Damn... They're stopping
[Snipe] GM: *ariel is shot, 5,000 AP*
[Snipe] Looks like that idea went to hell
* Booster crouches with his furry parts covering him as cleanly as possible for the moment...
[Snipe] GM: *Garland is hit, 5000 AP*
* Garland 's armor and wings appear
[Dominator] Ariel! Get down when they fire! We don't need you to be killed!
[Garland] AGH!
* Ariel rolls over into the trench.
[Wiendigo] Why don't we toss up a ring of fire? That'd sure as hell slow 'em down.
* Dominator heals Ariel and Garland with Silver Crystal a bit
* Garland blocks with his wings, hoping to delfect some
[Ariel] *winces* It takes more than that to stop me.
[Snipe] *troops throw weird shape items into the trench*
[Snipe] OH shit!
* Snipe dives over one
[Booster] Not if they don't head this way!
[Snipe] LIVE GRENADE!
[Dominator] Damn!
* Snipe takes the blast
[Snipe] ARGH!
[Dominator] Snipe!
* Snipe lands on his back
[Booster] Snipe?!
* Dominator blasts at the troops
* Snipe gurgles up blood
* Gravedigger stops
[Iceheart] Dammit
[Gravedigger] Aw shit...Snipe...
* Iceheart turns and fires ice at the grenades
* Dominator follows suit
* Garland yells not noticing the button on DS's comm is pressed
[Garland] DAMMIT!
[Dominator] Keep firing!
[Snipe] Don't...stop...
* Garland raises up, firing blasts madly from his hands
* Wiendigo spins his sword and charges up for a blast
* Snipe tries getting up, but finds himself bleeding too bad to move
* Garland is straining from the blasts
* Dominator blasts fire from Thunder Bolt in a semi-circle on one area, then turns and does it in the other
[Snipe] At least I had my powers....on max...to save my life...
[Booster] If only my ash blower had more range!...
[Garland] STAY DOWN SNIP!
[Iceheart] GM: *Troops open fire*
* Garland waits for the order to start melee
[Dominator] Fire at the ice barrier and shatter it and knock the sand forward! It'll give us some cover!
* Wiendigo fires off a large blast at the troops in one direction

[Dominator] Dammit...
[Iceheart] ....dammit to fucking hell!
[Garland] Agh... just keep them off me for a few minutes.... then I'll be fine....
[Dominator] They know what there're doing...
[Cheryl] Shut up and let me do my job.
[SOUND]
[Dominator] Somehow, I doubt they want to take us alive... We're not giving up
* Snipe forces himself up, pale from loss of blood
[Garland] Stubborn as ever, eh?
* Snipe grabs his rifle, grimacing
* Dominator blasts at the sand near the soldiers again quickly, with Crimson Crystal to move fast
* Iceheart leaps up and fires an ice wave, freezing their guns
[Iceheart] TAKE THAT!
[Booster] Snipe, don't...
* Garland is healing everyone +5 AP/sec
* Dominator heals Snipe a good bit with Silver Crystal, "Hang on..."
[Iceheart] GM: *troops open fire, hitting Ice into the trench*
[Iceheart] ARGH!
* Dominator grabs Iceheart as she flies back
* Snipe opens fire, hitting the shields
[Snipe] Go down!
[Snipe] GO DOWN!
[Dominator] Are you all right?!
* Iceheart is dazed
* Booster is already down...
[Ariel] NRP: G'night all!
[Snipe] GM: *troops open fire*
* Dominator blasts with Snipe at the shields
[Wiendigo] Dom, I've got an idea..
[Dominator] NRP: Ironic you'd say that...
[Dominator] What is it, Wiendigo:
[Snipe] Shields: *collapses*
[Wiendigo] *crawls up and over into Dom's trench
*** Siawase has quit IRC (Me-OOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!)
* Dominator fires while the shields are down
*** Cheryl has quit IRC (There can be only one!)
* Dominator fires ice at them
[Wiendigo] What if we...*winces* ...dig a tunnel out to the troops. maybe set up a nice little deposit of explosives...
* Garland sits there quietly, trying to heal everyone and himself
[Snipe] Troops: *Keep in closing on them...when suddenly, a blast comes flying out and hits many of them, blowing their shields up, causing a chain reaction*
[Dominator] Ic-... Frosty... Ana, fire ice at them!
[Snipe] Troops: *are caught in the explosion, most dying*
[Booster] Are they getting any closer?  I can't see...
* Iceheart blinks, dazed
[Garland] !?
[Dominator] What the...?
[Enforcer] The hell?
[Booster] What was that?!
[Dominator] I don't care what it is! Fire on the troops while you have the chance! *blasts madly at them*
[Snipe] GM: *a yellow/green blur flies by and ten troops split in half, falling over dead*
* Snipe keeps blasting
* Garland jumps up
[Booster] All right then!
[Wiendigo] God, not him...*groans*
[Snipe] GM: *another blast comes out and nails more troops*
*** Ariel has quit IRC (Ciao!)
* Booster jumps up and throws coals over the ice barrier as best he can...
[Garland] KIAMA! *fires two blasts at once, englulfing multiple soldiers at once
[Snipe] GM: *Another blur flies by and more troops fall in half*
[Snipe] Troops: *in confusion, retreat*
* Dominator blasts at them as they retreat
[Wiendigo] Dammit, just let me die NOW so I don't have to see his jackass face..
* Iceheart shakes her head
[Iceheart] Whaaa?
* Iceheart sits up
[Dominator] I don't believe it...
* Garland fires on the retreating troops, trying to kill them as quickly as possible
* Snipe slumps over against the hill
[Snipe] We did it....?
[Snipe] No, we didn't...who?
[Dominator] Thanks to someone's help...
[Wiendigo] No, HE did it...
[Booster] You don't mean...?
[Wiendigo] Dom, THINk, use you damn head for once...
[Snipe] GM: *in on a sanddune nearby, a shadowy figure can be seen*
[Snipe] ...Death Star?  Oh God, he had to save us....
[Iceheart] Ariel: *looks, hopefully*
[Iceheart] ...
* Iceheart stiffens looking at the shadow
* Garland falls to the ground, kneeling, wings an armor abruptly dissappearing
* Dominator looks it over
[Dominator] Status... Can you identify it?
[SOUND]
* Garland looks at the figure
* Booster stands to get a better look...
[Iceheart] Satus: Ident---Whoa, technology makes it unable to determine.
* Snipe coughs up blood and wheezes
[Snipe] GM: *the shadow begins to walk towards them*
* Wiendigo puts his hand on IH's leg
[Dominator] ... No choice then... *calls out* Who are you?
* Garland stands to look at the person, deep in thought again
[Snipe] GM: *person keeps walking, but doesn't seem threatening*
[Snipe] GM: *his leg steps into a light, a strange type of alloy and the color is goldish red*
[Snipe] ...waitaminute...
[Garland] ......?
[Booster] What is it?
* Dominator stands up, looking at the figure
[Snipe] GM: *the reploid walks into the light.  He's armor is obviously made somewhere else than Earth and it's energy seems to be powerful.  His helment plays a shadow over his face*
[Iceheart] ....*relaxes*
[Snipe] Reploid: Well...I believe it's Dominator, isn't it?
* Garland looks at the person
[Snipe] ...
[Dominator] Yes, it is. But you have me at an advantage...
[Dominator] (er, disadvantage)
[Wiendigo] ...Well, at least it ain't Death Shit.
[Garland] .....I would say hello, but I'll thank you for the help first, so, Thank you.
* Wiendigo lightly hits IH in the leg
[Iceheart] What?
[Dominator] Yes, thank you...
[Snipe] Reploid: *looks at Dominator, a grin on his face, and Dom recognizes him*
[Wiendigo] You seem a little tense, you should learn to relax. 8smirks*
[Booster] Very much... we probably wouldn't have made it...
[Iceheart] Har har har.
[Snipe] GM: *another shadow appears on the hill, arms crossed*
* Dominator recognizes him as...
[Wiendigo] NRP: AHHH! It's the ghost of Venerator! Out for revenge!
* Garland looks at the other shadow
[Dominator] NRP: ....
[Dominator] *eyebrows shoot up* You...?
[Garland] You know him, Dad?
[Iceheart] Reploid: *Nods* I suppose I'm 20 years late.
[Booster] ?...
[Iceheart] Reploid: I hope I arrived in time to still help.
* Enforcer puts the rifles back around his shoulder
[Dominator] Yes... I used to know him, but... he's dead. Or... I thought he was
[Snipe] *gags*
[Garland] .....Who?
[Wiendigo] NRP: ...I was right?
* Iceheart squints, not recognizing the reploid
* Garland steps forward
[Dominator] *holds hand out to the reploid* It's nice to see you again...
[Iceheart] Reploid: *shakes it* I'm sure you can guess who that is up there.
[Booster] Wait... aren't you going to you introduce us?
[Iceheart] Reploid: *blinks* I'm sorry, I'm not use to not being recognized.
[Garland] Um... Hi, You appearantly know Dad, and any friend of his is a friend of mine, I'm Garland Hianule. *put his hand out to be shaken next*
[Iceheart] Reploid: *shakes Garland's hand, smiling*
* Garland smiles
[Dominator] Well, I don't think anyone else here has met you before
[Iceheart] Reploid: I see...a long time has passed, hasn't it?
[Dominator] Yes, so many things have happened. Well, Wraith Hunters, Resistance members... meet... Mega Man X.
[Iceheart] Do you know that Reploid?
*** X (Avalon@206.74.112.108) has joined #taw
[Garland] ........ Mega Man X?
* Snipe looks up
[Snipe] Who?
[Iceheart] ...X?
* Booster 's jaw drops as he poofs rather like a cat.
[Garland] Wasn't..... wasn't that who you told me stories about when you wanted me to sleep?
[Booster] B-but that's i-impossible!
[Wiendigo] Wait, who-Oh, wait, THAT guy...*rolsl his eyes* Aren't you suppsoed to be, oh, I dunno...dead?
* Dominator looks at the person in the distance as well, nodding at them to come forward
[Dominator] Yes, Garland... X was the first reploid and a member of the original Maverick Hunters.
* Booster sits down.  "Oh my God..."
*** Iceheart sets mode: +o X
* X smiles at them all
[X] I suppose I should be dead.
* X turns back and waves over the other reploid
*** Zero (Avalon@206.74.112.108) has joined #taw
[Booster] ...Wait... if you're X, then is that...?
*** Iceheart sets mode: +o Zero
[Zero] That is Zero.
[Garland] It's an Honor to meet the grat pacifist.... *lowers his head to X*
* Zero smirks
* X blinks
[X] Uh...
* X looks at Dom and Zero
[Dominator] X?
[Garland] NRP: er great pacifist....
[Iceheart] NRP: Bet you all thought that was DS, not Zero!  Hah!  You thought DS was looking for X, hah!
[Booster] ...It's a good thing Reploids don't faint just from shock...
[Dominator] NRP: That crossed my mind, though I considered it could be Zero too
[X] Am I that much of a surprise?  I was told no one would hardly remember us.
* Zero looks at them all, nodding
[Dominator] NRP: In a surprising mood for today, huh?
[Garland] NRP: Not me, my origininal thought was it was the artifact which DS turned on
[Garland] NRP: not DS tho.
[Dominator] Hello, Zero... It's been a long time
[Iceheart] NRP: The surprises have only begun
[Booster] ...I was activited shortly before you... you...
* Wiendigo takes out a cigar and lights it up
[X] "Died".
* Booster nods weakly.
* Zero grimaces at that
[Zero] Which was, of course, all my fault...
* Wiendigo smokes it, not really impressed by the two special guests.
[Dominator] ...I'm sure you see this coming, but... how did you two survive?
* Garland is in awe to be in the presence of the 'legends' Dom told him about
* Iceheart walks over there, standing next to Wien
* Snipe lays on the sand
[Enforcer] Whoa....
* X looks away and back
[X] Well...
* X turns to Zero, who shrugs in response
[Booster] ...Most of my orpahns... s-see you two as heroes to pretend to be... second only to Death Star...
[Booster] NRP: orphans, even.
[X] ...Death Star's still around?
* X smirks
[Wiendigo] NRP: [GM] And as everyone paid attention to the two once-thought-dead heroes, Snipe died.
* Zero frowns
[Zero] I'm quite sure he's not happy with me...
* Garland feels at a loss of words, none of the subjects him having any knowlege to.
[Dominator] Snipe... *moves over to him and heals him a bit* What's his condition, Status?
[Gravedigger] Hey, Wien, wasn't it-
[Iceheart] Status: Asleep.
[Wiendigo] Don't remind me.
[X] You see, when me and Zero finally collapsed from our fight, the missiles were about to go off..
[Gravedigger] ...Oookay...
[Dominator] Yes, Death Star is... and, yes, he was a bit sore after his last meeting with you, from what I remembered...
* Booster stands up again and slowly approaches the legendary pair...
[Zero] ...we had managed to get them to blow on the pad and not launch to ever major city like I planned.
[Dominator] Right... Historians have deduced as much
* Garland walks over to Zero, not having greeted him yet.
[X] Right after Zero came to his senses, we were finally ready to accept death.
* Zero nods at Garland
[Garland] Hello, Zero... *puts out his hand*
* Zero shakes his hand
[Zero] Pleasure.
* Wiendigo gets up out of the trench and staggers away from the group, looking out over the desert
[Garland] It's as much an honor to meet you as it is X.
[X] However, we were teleported from the base before the explosion
* Gravedigger watches Wien
[Dominator] Teleported... by who?
* Garland moves to stand next to Dom
[X] By an alien race who takes certain things in time and basically freezes them, so they know not what is going on, and then later returns them for a duty for them.
* Booster blinks.
[X] They usually take people who are considered dead.  They choose me and Zero for some reason.
[Booster] That isn't surprising, from what I was told of you...
[Dominator] Why didn't you return sooner...?
[X] They brought us online 20 years ago to fight...however, the time it took them to prepare us had already put you at the end of the war.
[Dominator] This race... seems to be an enemy of the Tsivrixsh?
[Garland] Hrm......
[X] ...no, not really.  They intervine where they see fit.  The leader is---nevermind, I shouldn't discuss that.
* Booster cocks his head at that.
* Garland nods, understanding
[Dominator] ... All right... Well, we are grateful for your aid now. What are you here to do?
[X] Anyway, Earth was attacked 6 months back.  We were going to help, but it was too late.  All this happened.  However, for some reason, the race decided now was the time for us to return.  They told us to find the new group of Hunters.  So we did.
[Zero] Our job is to protect the Earth at this point.  Of all threats.
[Zero] So, we're going to clear out the Tsivrixsh here...once and for all.
[Garland] Guardians of the planet, essentially?
* Booster seems relieved at that.
[X] *hesitates* Essentially.
[Dominator] Excellent...
[Zero] Of course, it's a poor welcome home sight...
* Zero scowls
[Dominator] NRP: Be right back... *sigh*
*** Dominator has quit IRC (Random RPG Quote: [DeathStar] GAH!)
[Wiendigo] NRP: Best quote yet!
[Iceheart] PAUSE
[Garland] ....... *picks up on X's words, the hesitasion* Ah.
Session Close: Sat Jul 29 00:00:56 2000


Session Start: Sat Jul 29 00:14:27 2000
* Logging #taw to '#taw.log'
[Iceheart] UNPAUSE
[Booster] ...Perhaps the orphans will have a chance to grow up after all...
*** Dias-Away (narf@pm9-08.newulmtel.net) has joined #taw
*** Wiendigo sets mode: +o Dias-Away
* Snipe groans
[Snipe] Ughhh.
*** Dias-Away is now known as Dias
* Garland walks over to Dias
[Garland] NRP: Gorgon too.
* Gravedigger pokes Snipe with a stick
[Dominator] Good, Snipe... You'rea live
[Snipe] Ow!
[Garland] You awake yet?
* Dias opens eye at looks at Garland
[Dias] Ahh my head hurts
[X] I see your team is hurt...
* Booster chuckles at Garland's line.  "Oldest joke there is..."
*** WereWolfBob (narf@pm9-08.newulmtel.net) has joined #taw
*** WereWolfBob is now known as Gorgon
[Garland] I'm not surprized. *helps him up*
*** Wiendigo sets mode: +o Gorgon
[Dominator] We were in trouble, until you saved us... You seem amazingly powerful now
* Booster nods to X.  "We've been through a lot today."
[X] Not really.  We got a lucky surprise attack going for us.
* Iceheart glances at Wien
[Iceheart] You think they're the Real McCoy?
[Dias] *rubs head* Who's this joker?
* Garland has learned not to comment on someone's strength anymore
* Gorgon stands up pushing himself up with his only arm
[Dominator] Well, the aid is appreciated regardless. You're very welcome allies... My group, a Resistance here, was in the process of teaming up with Death Star and his Hunters, to free the Earth from the Tsivrixsh...
[Dominator] Dias... That's X and over there is Zero...
[Wiendigo] Dunno. We've ran into a lot of fakes before. Personally, I don't care either way.
[Dias] Oh...aren't they supposed to be dead?
[Dominator] *turns to Iceheart and almost says her real name, but remembers not to* I think so, Iceheart... I'm not sure exactly while, but I think so.
[X] Where were you headed?
[Dominator] It's different from the time we met the people who were being imposters of them...
[Wiendigo] NRP: ...You did any way there, chief.
* Booster finally bows his head to X and Zero for a moment.  "Booster DeBonne, NomekopCo Fire-Class Defensive Companion Reploid, number 00136..."
[SOUND]
[Dias] NRP: They know she's Iceheart yet?
[Dominator] To the ship the Hunters and DS arrived in... but I fear those Tsivrixsh troops destroyed or captured it
[X] Uh, well, you know us.
[Gorgon] Man my head hurts *rubs it*
[Zero] Nice to meet you.
* Zero grows antsy
[Dias] Meet who?
[Zero] Booster.
[Dias] What about me? *stands up*
[Wiendigo] NRP: [Zero] I gotta PEE!
* Snipe stands up, pale
* Booster (NRP) laughs.
[Zero] ...hello...
[Dominator] NRP: *snickers*
[Dias] Phew..glad I'm wearing my meta ball today...hate to have been lugged around naked for this entire trip
[X] ....eh?
[Dias] ...Long story
* Zero looks at Dias like he's lost his mind
[Gravedigger] We would've hated seeing that as well, Dias.
* Dominator looks at Dias about the same way, but shakes it off
[Snipe] Well, X and Zero, if that's your real names...lets get moving before more troops come to play.
[Dias] I transform into another form, which shreded my cloths
[Dominator] Uh, yeah... Anyway...
[Snipe] Like you said, YOUR only advantage was a surprise attack.
[Garland] Don't mind Dias.... I've told manu this, he's the flake of the group.
[Dominator] Snipe's right. We'd better get going. Those troops meant business...
[Garland] NRP: many
[Dias] Flake? Bite me Garlic boy
[Garland] ......Garlic?
* Booster nods.  "There may very well be some cavalry units..."
* Dias shrugs
* Snipe shifts off toward the ship
[Wiendigo] Heh, 'Garlic', gotta remember that one...
* Garland doesn't get it
* Booster has to smirk himself at "Garlic".
[Dias] Don't piss me off while I just wake up
* Iceheart looks at all the dead bodies laying around
[Dias] So who killed all the aliens?
* Garland glances at everyone who got it
[Booster] We should hurry...  Which way again, Status?
* Gorgon looks at X and Zero
[Snipe] Status: The opposite way that Snipe is going.
* Snipe turns around at that, snorting
* Zero steps over, and onto one body, as he follows Snipe
* Booster chuckles...
[Zero] ...hmmm...Death Star...this should be interesting...*grins*
[Booster] Well, let's go...
* Garland starts walking
* Booster heads for the ship...
* Enforcer follows
* Wiendigo starts staggering along
[Snipe] I wonder what DS is doing...he usually saves our asses...
* Dias follows the group, his cloths morphing in certain spots
* Snipe holds his gut
* Dominator gets moving
[Gorgon] Maybe he's still taking a bath
* Gravedigger helps Wien along
[Dominator] *to X and Zero* Are you aware of what's happened since you've been... gone?
[Dominator] I assume these aliens that saved you have kept you up-to-date
[Zero] Yes.
[Dias] So how did these two get here
[X] That's right.  Pretty good at it too.  We probably know more than you...like what is going on here on Earth.
[Dominator] ...They saved us, Dias
[Dias] I figured that, but didn't they die in that nuclear explosion
* Booster 's tail flicks a bit.  "You know what's happening?"
[Snipe] ...*stops*
[Snipe] So, what's happening?
[Garland] Dias, now's not the time.
[Dominator] Could you elaborate on that for me? Information hasn't been easy to come by here...
* X looks at them
[Dias] I'm curious
[Dominator] Everyone else seems to be curious too. *smiles a bit*
* Gorgon walks behind everyone
[X] I suppose we could tell now...but shouldn't we wait until your leader arrives?
* Booster turns to face the pair...
[Dias] Nah
[Dominator] Good point... Snipe, DS is meeting up with us at the ship, isn't he?
[Booster] I suppose so... if he doesn't act out a grudge first...
[Snipe] Suppose to.
* Zero smirks
[Dominator] Let's wait until then. Status, how far are we from the ship?
[Iceheart] Status: 15 miles.
[Dominator] NRP: Weren't we 10 miles at the start of this session...?
[Iceheart] NRP: 17
[Dias] So I guess another friendly talk is gonna happen?
[Iceheart] NRP: Weren't we?
[Iceheart] NRP: Wait, I meant 7 miles...yeah...that's it.
[Dominator] NRP: No, that was from the session before this one.
[Garland] If we didn't have the slower members here, we could make that in a few minutes....
[Dominator] NRP: Okay.
* Snipe coughs hard
[Snipe] Lets take it nice and easy, shall we?
[Dias] Woh..cough up a lung why don't you
[Snipe] I feel like I took the blunt of an explosion
[Dominator] And hopefully avoid any Tsivrixsh entanglements...
* Garland is growing a little tired of going so slow
[Booster] You did, silly.
* Booster smirks.
[Snipe] Oh, yeah, that explains it.  *coughs harder*
[Dias] Garland..you seem a lil anxious? Care for a jog?
[Wiendigo] You try surviving out in the Wastelands for a few months without repair or maitenaince, you little shit.
[Garland] Slightly.
[Dias] Well then lets
[Dominator] I think he has warrent to be... We were just nearly killed or captured by elite Tsivrixsh forces...
* X exchanges a glance with Zero
[Garland] I'm not going to rush off, though.
[Booster] What are you talking about?  I've never left Earth in my life...
[Dominator] Status, there aren't any others in near us or the ship, are there?
[Dias] Whatever
[Iceheart] Status: No.
[Dominator] Good... We finally get a break
[Dias] So is that can opener any good besdies talking? Can it make expressos?
[Iceheart] Status: ..... I'm offended!
* Booster chuckles.
* Zero nods slowly
[Dominator] *glances at X and Zero* The war has taken a great toll on Earth and we're paid a heavy price... I only hope someday we can restore Earth to its former grandeur...
[Gorgon] Bite me soccer ball
* X turns to Dom
[Garland] .....Where did you get Status, Dad?
[X] Who knows.  Right now though, I'm more interested in meeting Death Star and gathering all your Hunters together for a fight.
[X] And me and Zero will aid you in any way possible.
[Zero] Yeah.  Me in the fighting department.
[Gorgon] Can you turn that Can opener into a Expresso machine?
[Dominator] Good to here. Death Star apparently has a plan to stop it... Something to do with something under the lava. Know anything about that?
* Wiendigo shifts his glance between the the two legends
[X] That I do not...
[Booster] It's too bad we lost that hoverbike...
[Dominator] Status isn't an Expresso Machine, Gorgon, Dias... Garland, I found Status during our travels in Europe... The travels were far from scenic, though, I'm afraid
[Garland] Hrm....
[Dias] Kinda find it odd that you suddenly find a talking floating ball don't you?
[Dominator] Hmm, perhaps even the aliens who saved you didn't anticipate it? Or perhaps they did and didn't tell you... Only time will tell, I suppose. I'm open to any surprises that help us, though.
[Iceheart] Status: Everyone picks on me just because I can't do anything back...
[Dominator] Ignore them, Status, I appreciate you at least... You've been a great aid to us
[X] Oh, I'm sure there are a lot more in store before we free Earth.
[Booster] As do I.
[Gorgon] That's right. Maybe you could ask the wizard of oz for a real body
[Iceheart] Status: Grrrr!
* Booster tries not to laugh...
* Dias smirks
[Garland] It's okay Status, you've been useful so far, we'd be in a lot more trouble if we didn't know the 200 troops were comming.
[Wiendigo] *nudges IH* You're awfully quiet.
[Gorgon] I'm just messin with ya Status my friend
* Enforcer keeps on walking
[Iceheart] Nothing to discuss.  Besides, I'm watching those two.  Something funny about them.
[Enforcer] Geeze, how long can he stay out?
* Wiendigo nods.
* Snipe walks around, lifeless
[Dominator] ...If circumstances were different, we might be able to transfer you to a body, Status. Soon, even, if plans go accordingly... Hell, Death Star himself was once trapped in a computer.
* Dias walks upto Snipe
[Wiendigo] NRP: Now featuring...Snipe the ZOMBIE!
[Dias] You ok mon frair?
[Snipe] Tired.
[Dominator] NRP: *snickers*
[Dominator] NRP: And our good old GM gets to play a fourth character at the same time once DS shows up
[Dominator] NRP: Excuse me, fifth
[Iceheart] NRP: errr.
[Booster] NRP: Oh boy.  ;)
[Iceheart] NRP: *plots who to kill*
[Garland] NRP: EEP!
[Dominator] NRP: Heh heh. Not as bad as that time you played most of the evil Hunters, though...
[Snipe] You know what guys?
[Dias] What?
[Gravedigger] Whuzat?
[Booster] NRP: Four not counting random NPCs is a strain for me...
[Booster] Hm?
[Snipe] I feel the worst is yet to come...a lot worse...
[Dias] And it seems your premonitions usually come true too...
[Snipe] Isn't that grand?
[Dominator] NRP: On the bright side, being a GM helps to give you fast typing skills
[Wiendigo] ...Christ, that kid's a hell of a lot more pesimistic then I was.
[Booster] Even if that's the case, let's enjoy this break in the action...
[Gorgon] Man I'm hungry
* Booster grins.
[Garland] ......Was, Wiendigo?
* Dias looks around
* X walks along, silent
[Dominator] *glances at Snipe* We'll see... I'm more hopeful about the future now than before though... The Resistance, the "Wraith" Hunters, and X and Zero... We may have a chance...
* Zero walks along, silent
[Dias] Man...what all happened while I was catching up on my beuaty sleep?
[Dominator] Why the "Wraith" part, anyway?
* Garland is still in deep thought
[Wiendigo] ...Have you heard me say once anything about us dying? No? Goo,d now shut your mouth, runt.
[Dominator] Only you could sleep through a major battle, Dias, it appears...
[Snipe] Well, it all began, Dias, way back....
[Iceheart] Session Ends
