[X`] Legendary?  Heh.  Hardly.
* Dias leaps off of Gorgon's shoulders and runs ahead of him
[Crystal] ... What.. was he like?

[Snipe] Oh, sure.
* Zero`` grumbles, trying to keep a three foot lead now
[Garland] NRP: er grows
* Dias runs past Snipe and Grave
[Wiendigo] And arrogant, self-absorbed, power hungry bastard.
[Enforcer] Dont be modest X.... you did some damn good fighting.
[Ariel] Hey X, just out of curiousity, do you remember me from that time we met waaay back when?
* Booster starts to fall behiond Zero and Garland slightly...
[X`] In my time, I suppose.  I feel ... out of place now.
* X` glances at Ariel and studies her
* Booster pants...
* Garland looks at Zero's expression
[Dias] Man you two are slow.
[Crystal] ... Really.... I guess the question was... was he likable?
[Garland] Hrm....
[Snipe] Hrm.
[Wiendigo] No.
[Crystal] NRP: LOL
[X`] I believe I do.

[Iceheart] ...a maverick, eh...
* X` nods
[X`] I understand.
[Garland] .oO(I hope I didn't make Zero mad........)
[Ariel] Thanks for not killing me, I appreciate it.
[Crystal] *Catches the last bit of conversation*
* Booster is struggling by now, and it's no act...
[Crystal] Whats this about killing you?
* X` nods and looks a little shy, a throw back to his early days before the first Maverick WAr

* Enforcer keeps moving
[Gravedigger] NRP: 70

[SOUND]
* Crystal looks ahead
[Zero``] GM: *the clouds seem to grow thicker above*
* Zero`` slows down
* Dias sprints past Grave
[Enforcer] Status, whats the distance check?
[Zero``] Weird..
[Garland] NRP: I don't think SL should be as accurate on ground speed, since some one's speed could lie in their arms, ot other parts of the body.
[Booster] NRP: With the speed enhancement module active, Booster's is boosted by 40, so it's 90 right now... but slowly dropping to normal...
[Iceheart] Status: 5 miles.
[Dominator] Hrm, I hope there isn't any acid rain.
* Garland matches up with Zero
[Garland] What?
[Dias] NRP:...Garland.....*ignores him*
* Zero`` points
[Zero``] The clouds are setting in.  Storm perhaps?
[Zero``] I mean, yes, there's constant clouds, but..
[Enforcer] Probably.
* Ariel is starting to wish she didn't ask, now that X mentioned the maverick part.
[Garland] Maybe...
[Garland] More than normal, though..
[Iceheart] Status: It's evening...almost night.  The clouds should be clearing up.
[Booster] Most rain nowadays isn't very friendly...
* Snipe blinks in surprise
[Snipe] It's almost night!?
[Snipe] We've been running around ALL day?!  No wonder we're exhausted.  We got no sleep last night.
[Crystal] What did you talk about with X?
[Dominator] Then why aren't they?
* Dias slows his pace down next to Grave
[X`] Should we stop and rest or go for the ship still?
* Snipe holds his chest, breathing heavily
[Enforcer] Reploids should go for the ship...
[Dias] Think those troops are still after us?
* Garland looks back
[Iceheart] Status: Probably.  But I can't pick up on them.
[Dominator] We need to get there to meet up with Death Star.
[Enforcer] Or else set up shelter and wait...
[Garland] Hey Zero..... I think we should let them catch up a bit....
* Zero`` comes to a stop
[Zero``] Fine with me
[SOUND]
* Crystal stops next to Snipe
[Booster] I think we should slow down... we're far enough ahead of the others as it is... getting too far ahead could be dangerous.
* Garland stops on a dime this time
[Ariel] NRP: Was crystal talking to me still?
[Crystal] NRP: Aye
* Zero`` walks towards the others
* Booster screeches to a halt, then stands next to Zero, panting heavily...
[Crystal] uhh... Guy.... I wish I could call you something other then Guy.. but, Are you alright??
* X` joins Zero midway and they converse quietly
* Garland swalks next to Booster, scratching him behind the ear
[Snipe] Name's John.
[Snipe] And I'm fine.
[Ariel] Well... long before I joined up with the hunters, just after Dr. Edo was killed, I fell in with the mavericks during a fit of depression...
* Booster sits and grins as he's scritched...
* Crystal nods
[Iceheart] NRP: Swalks.  Scritched.
[Iceheart] NRP: Neato!
[Garland] NRP: Heh
[Ariel] X and Zero attacked the base when I was there...  I was so pitiful at that point, I guess X didn't have the heart to kill me.
* Dias looks at Snipe and Crystal converse
* Iceheart looks at Wiendigo
[Crystal] I remember that....  If I recall correctly, I was in the bodyguarding business....
[Iceheart] So, in just a short amount of time, you'll be seeing him again.
* Zero`` points at the sky, him and X still talking
[Wiendigo] Whoop-de-fuck.
* Iceheart seems rigid
*** Ariel has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
*** Siawase has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
*** Siawase (Ryuujin@CDR5-65.accesscable.net) has joined #taw
* Garland stays off to the side, not getting involved in X and Zero's conversation
*** Wiendigo sets mode: +o Siawase
*** Ariel (Ryuujin@CDR5-65.accesscable.net) has joined #taw
*** Iceheart sets mode: +o Ariel
[Booster] You know, when we do get a chance to race for real, it ought to be a lot of fun...
[Crystal] .... I also remember fighting with you on more then one occasion.........
[Wiendigo] How about you? You've got a bigger deal with him than I do.
[Snipe] Mental note John: Don't leap onto grenades.
[Garland] I suppose.
[Iceheart] *semi-nervous laugh* I'm looking forward to it.  Charming.  Highlight of the day.
[Garland] Races aren't usually my motif, but if you want.
[Booster] Hey, even though I was worried for you two, I was still enjoying it some just now...
[Booster] Well, what do you usually like to do for fun?
* X` crosses arms, shaking head
* Crystal smirks
[Wiendigo] Scared shitless, huh?
* Crystal then looks to the sky
* Garland shrugs
* Gorgon stops and looks at everyone
[Garland] I never really have the time
[Iceheart] Not of him alone, but of the rest of the Hunters together when they..find out..
[Dias] Snipe....
* Booster (NRP) wonders when everyone will be in the same place...
[Snipe] Yes?
* Garland continues scratching
[Dias] Nothing.
[Snipe] You can tell me.
* Snipe straightens up and look at Dias.
* Booster smiles...
[Dias] No serious, nothing.
[Snipe] ...
[Garland] NRP: 3......2.........*everyone arrives*
[Wiendigo] Then I'll rip 'em all a new air hole if they say shit about it. Grave too, right kiddo]
* Snipe walks over towards Booster and Garland
[Gravedigger] Yep.
* Crystal plays with a small formation of crystal in her fist
* Iceheart raises eyebrow
[Booster] Ah, good, you're all here...
* Dias follows behind Snipe
[Wiendigo] 'sides, Dom'll back us up.
* Garland nods "John."
[Snipe] Garland.
* Booster stands and walks to keep up with the group.
[SOUND]
[Crystal] I hate having holes in my memory...
[Garland] I reckon we're 4 miles off now.
* Zero`` joins the others with X
[Gorgon] What, has it happened more than once Crystal?
[Snipe] About that.
* Snipe sighs and looks up
* Booster nods to Crystal.  "That can't be fun..."
[Dominator] Status, how far?
[Snipe] It feels nice...us resting and chatting.
* Crystal nods
[Snipe] No worries..
[Crystal] Once before.  I never want to have it happen again
[Snipe] *sighs* This entire mission has been one hell of a ride.
* Garland smiles
[Snipe] Now we just need the others and DS and we'll be complete.
[Dias] All we need now, is the a storm to happen and those guys to arrive, and my day'l be made
[Garland] Best part of a journey.
* Enforcer who has been silent all this time, pipes up finally
[Enforcer] We've still got a bit to go...
[Snipe] *scowls* Sure, ruin my good time.
[Snipe] Alright, gang, lets move it.

[Zero``] I hear that a lot.
[Zero``] NRP: Her.
[Crystal] ... I mean.. really REALLY familiar....
* Snipe begins to pull into the lead, slowly
* Garland runs next to John
[Crystal] Do you have a twin...?

[Zero``] I have that fa---*stops*
[Zero``] Slash, right?
[Snipe] We'll try, Booster, we'll try.
[Crystal] ... Thats the name I keep hearing...
* Booster nods to Booster, smiling...
[Snipe] NRP: ... 
* Dias does his best to keep up with Snipe
[Booster] NRP: Snipe, even...
[Garland] Hey John, I don't push yourself in this....
[Booster] NRP: What a typo...
[Zero``] I'm sure you'll remember, someday.
* Enforcer keeps up to Snipe
[Snipe] Heh.  Me?  Push myself?
[Crystal] Was he like you...??
[Garland] Your not well as you've shown..
[Zero``] *shakes head* No.
[Crystal] Not at all?
[Zero``] ...*smirks and looks down* I suppose a little.  Maybe why we clashed.
[Snipe] .oO (Maybe also why Slash went Maverick on that asteroid...Zero goes Maverick.  Slash does...)
[Crystal] .... then.... what was he like?  I hate knowing a name.. face, and nothing to go with it...
[Enforcer] .oO(I wonder where the old Slashman is now anyway...)
[Zero``] I spent most my time avoiding him.  His best friend was Death Star.  You should talk to him
* Crystal nods, and moves off
[Dias] NRP: Or Slasher
[Zero``] NRP: He doesn't know a Slasher.
[Zero``] NRP: Zero's been gone for a LONG time.
[Dias] NRP: Nuts eh
[Enforcer] NRP: Aye.  Slasher only came about in the last like 100 years of Slash's life... probably less..
[SOUND]
[Dias] NRP: Probably....Slasher's 100years old?
* Snipe pulls into the lead some more
[Snipe] NRP: Nah, he's younger than DS]

[Iceheart] Status: Uh oh..
[Dominator] What?
[Garland] So, John, you think your pretty hot now'a'days, eh?

*** Dominator_Away is now known as Dominator
[Garland] ???
[DeathStar] Think about this.  A Tsiv. battleship...we can go behind enemy lines without easy detection.  And we have almost as strong firepower as those battleships above us.  Shame it's 20 years old.
[Wiendigo] If I get to kill Gorgon's ugly shitface, sure.
[Gorgon] Good opint.
[Gorgon] NRP: Dias said that
[Gorgon] Go screw a dead cat
[Snipe] Huh.  We came here for a 20 year old battleship?  My question is: Why the hell was it in the ocean?
[Booster] Do you suppose it could be fixed up so it'd at least be an even match?
[Garland] Hrm.....
[Garland] NRP: NECRO!!!!
[DeathStar] I would believe so.
[Dominator] True. This will prove very useful, but we must use it wisely... If we are discovered, our cover will be gone
[DeathStar] As fro taht, Dias...I doubt any of you older members remember...
[DeathStar] NRP: Egad, the typos.
[Dias] Wouldn't they know the difference between a 20 year old ship to there current ones?
[Garland] By the way, DS, if youu havn't already noticed, Maestro is gone.
* DeathStar glances at Ariel, Garland, Dom, overlooking the questioning Crystal, and at Wiendigo
[Dominator] Good questions, Snipe, Dias
[DeathStar] ...he is...?  Damn.
[JustinII] NRP: Typos x2...
[Gravedigger] Good ridance.
[DeathStar] Not really.  As you saw below...the troops had no knowledge of the difference.
[Dias] .....hmmm...So now we have an advantage
[Dominator] And how'd this ship wind up in the middle of the sea?
[Dias] So after we pick up the children, we head for Team B?
* Booster nods.  "The question now is figuring out the best way to use it..."
[DeathStar] This ship was placed in the ocean during the first Alien War by Darien.  Right after CorSec and the Armed Forces ended us and attacked the HQ.  You were all taken prisoner and I was taken to a public execution.
* Garland snickers
[DeathStar] Right, Dias.
[Dias] Aright
[Garland] ....Darien?
[Dias] Corsec....
[DeathStar] That's right.  I asked Darien to hide the ship.
[Booster] Ah, yes...  I think I may have seen that in the news once, come to think of it.
[Garland] Darien's saved us more than once now.......
[DeathStar] We captured it during the battle where Hodges used The Ultimate Weapon.
[Booster] NRP: Nuke?
[Ariel] Right... I remember hearing about that now...
[Booster] Not that I owe the news much.
[Dominator] And placed it in the ocean...?
[Dominator] Why?
* Wiendigo settles back into his seat and crosses his arms
[DeathStar] ...don't ask me why he hid it there.
[DeathStar] Darien did...things none of us could explain.
[Dias] Why wasn't it melted by the lava?
* Booster flicks an ear.  "If it weren't for the bad press, I could have participated in the first Alien War."
[Dominator] So even the Tsivrixsh wouldn't know it still existed. They would have presumed it destroyed... Excellent
[DeathStar] Good question.  The shields were operational.  This must be some strong metal.
[Dias] So we should be able to take a lot of blasts?
* DeathStar pats the ship
* DeathStar glances at Booster
[DeathStar] You tried to join the Hunters?
* DeathStar nods at Dias, not taking his eyes off Booster.
[Wiendigo] NRP: [Maestro] But even if it they thought it was destryoed, wouldn't they send a whole bunch of troops to make sURE it's destroyed? HUH? HUH?
* Booster nods.  "But because I killed most of a small squad of CorSec soldiers who came after me to try to force me into the Wastelands..."
[Dias] NRP: Dias: Damnt Mae! *clicks one of his bombs to on*
[Booster] I was branded a "maverick".
* Booster flicks his tail.
[DeathStar] ...hmmm...if only I had gotten my hands on anything of your trying to get in, I would have saw to it.  Sorry.
[Dias] ....Don't mention Corsec plz
* Snipe sits down
[Snipe] I'm exhausted.
* Wiendigo laughs slightly, thinking back to when he blew up that CorSec building.]
[Garland] I think we all need a rest.....
[DeathStar] Not surprising.  We've been going without a break for more than 24 hours.
* DeathStar feels the ship stop
* Booster sits down, turning to Dias.  "I don't blame you...  I was glad to see them close down."
[DeathStar] We're at our first destination.

* DeathStar looks out the viewport at the house below of the old man
* Gravedigger takes out his shovel

* DeathStar follows Ariel
[Gravedigger] Can we keep the weapons aimed on that palce? I don't at ALL trust that old guy...

* Wiendigo gets up and walks by DS
[Dominator] ...
[Wiendigo] She's damn good, that's how.

* DeathStar shrugs, looking a bit spooked, and joins Ariel at the platform
* Ariel silently heads down to the house below.

[DeathStar] So, Ariel...something is bothering you about this girl.
* DeathStar walks beside her
* Wiendigo turns and looks at IH
* Iceheart watches DS and Ariel
* Gravedigger keeps ahold of his shovel
* Booster walks quickly, getting near the front of the group.
[Ariel] Not really bothering me...  I'm just concerned I guess...
[DeathStar] Old man: *hobbles outside* Hellooo!
* Gravedigger arrives at the front door
[Ariel] Hello again sir

[Dias] You did what?
[Ariel] WHAT?!
[Booster] WHAT?1
[Garland] YOU WHAT!?
[DeathStar] Old Man: Just kidding.
[DeathStar] WHA---oh.
* Booster swaps to battle mode before anyone can blink.
[Gravedigger] ...You'd better be, pal.
[Dias] Thats good.
[DeathStar] Old man: Just a little humor to break the ice.
[Ariel] You... that wasn't funny.
[Dominator] ... *raises eyebrows at the reactions*
[DeathStar] Old man: Actually, I sold my cow.
* Garland holds himself back
[Dias] So where is she.
[Booster] ...I may have a good sense of humor, but that's not funny.
[Garland] Not in the least!
[Dominator] Sold the cow to whom?
* Gravedigger puts away his shovel, but keeps his hand close to his sai
[Dias] And plz don't say for some magic beans..
[DeathStar] Old man: So villager.  I thought I'd try to find someone to make girl clothe.s
[DeathStar] NRP: Some.
[DeathStar] Old man: *leads them into the house and points out the sleeping 3 year old*
* Ariel smiles
[Dominator] Ahh. *enters the house*
* Booster reverts to normal as he heads inside...
* Gravedigger keeps his hand over the sai hilt, looking around
* Garland smiles to her
[Snipe] "Girl clothes"?
[Dominator] I'm amazed you've managed to keep a house
[Garland] Is she well?
[DeathStar] Old man: Just dandy, feller.
[Garland] I'm releived...
[Dias] Dom..have status check her over
* Booster nudges the little girl's arm...
[DeathStar] Girl: *moans and rolls over, still asleep*
* Booster smiles.
[Dominator] Status...?
[DeathStar] Old man: *smiles*
[Iceheart] Status: Uh, find, just dandy.  Nice and healthy.
* Wiendigo suddenly jumps
* Garland 's eyes well up at the girl being alright
[DeathStar] Old man: *goes to light a cigar*
[Wiendigo] Dammit.
[Dominator] Well, there you have it...
* Garland blinks
* Dias looks atthe old man
[Garland] Those aren't healthy you know...
[Dias] NRP: Who do we know that smoke cigars?
[Gorgon] what's up with you Wienbag?
* Wiendigo blows past IH and jumps off of the ramp, then runs for the house, holdinbg his katana ready
[Garland] NRP: It's.... Spade!
[Gorgon] What the hell...
[DeathStar] Old man: *grabs a lighter* I keep telling myself I should quit.
* Wiendigo kicks open the door and flies in, landing on the table
[Iceheart] ...Wien...?
[Dias] Wien?
[DeathStar] Old Man: *looks at Wiendigo* My lord!
* Wiendigo aims his blade at the old man
[Garland] Wiendigo......!?
[Booster] What?  Wiendigo, what are you doing here?
[DeathStar] Old man: *jaw drops* Oh no!
[Dominator] NRP: Garland, stop guessing DS's top secret plots!
* Dias turns to the old man
[Garland] What the hell is wrong with you!?
[Wiendigo] Spill it, gramps.
[Dominator] Wiendigo?!
[DeathStar] Old man: What..?
[Booster] Wiendigo, what is the matter with you?!
[DeathStar] Wiendigo?!  Have you gone mad?!
[Wiendigo] Grave's right. I just got a vibe from this guy and not a good one.
[Garland] DS: Dumb question....
[Gravedigger] Hah! I KNEW it!
[Dias] What kind of vibe?
[DeathStar] Old Man: Vibe...?  *is shaking*
[Wiendigo] TALK, YOU BASTARD!
[Dias] Old man, who are you?
* Booster prepares to pounce on Wiendigo just in case...
[Garland] Wiendigo! Your gonna kill the man from fear!!!
[DeathStar] Old man: *eyes roll up in his head, grabs his chest, and collapses*
[Dias] I advise you talk, I don't think we can stop him
[Snipe] My God, you killed him...
[Dias] .....what the hell?
[Gravedigger] ...
[Garland] OH SHIT! I TOLD YOU!
* Garland runs over to him
[Wiendigo] Don't be so fooled.
[Dominator] ...
[Dias] Status, is he dead?
[Iceheart] Status: Quite...
* Garland checks him
[Iceheart] Status: Unless he's some kidder...
* Garland checks his pulse
[Iceheart] Pulse: *none*
[DeathStar] ...*falls silent*
[Booster] Now look what you've done, you asshole!
[Snipe] ...hooo boy...does this count as murder?
[Garland] ....Dad! Over here!
* Booster 's fur bristles...
[Snipe] Or help committing suicide?
* Garland starts CPR
* Dias looks around the place
* Ariel picks up the girl and shelters her under her wings so she won't be able to see the man if she wakes.
[Wiendigo] Search the place. Something's not right.
[DeathStar] Yeah.  YOU!.
[Garland] Dad get over here!!!
[Dias] Way ahead of you Wien. *looks through some drawers*
[Dominator] ... All right...
* Booster slinks towards Wiendigo, growling, looking about ready to tear him to shreds...
* Garland continues CPR
* Dominator starts searching, surprised at Wiendigo's behavior but worried
[Iceheart] Drawers: *is some money with the name "for little girl" on it*
[Wiendigo] Screw you, you self-ritcheous massiah.
[Dominator] Status, scan the house
[Garland] Dad you have that electic attack, right?
[DeathStar] Ho ho ho, Satan worshipper.
[Wiendigo] I trust my instincts, and something reeks.
[Dias] ....Hmmm...Money for hte little girl..*looks around some more*
[Dominator] Let's hope so...
[Garland] Shock him there. *points at his heart*
[Wiendigo] *points at Grave* He knew exactly what he was talking about.
[Snipe] ...riiiight, Grave?
* Garland 's wings fade in
[Gravedigger] Hey, I told you guys before that this place wasn't on the level.
* Dias eyes switch to scan through object, he looks at the floor
[Dominator] Status? Anything? *keeps searching*
* Booster 's claws come out and a hum indicates the emergence of his combat teeth...
[Iceheart] Status: Place is clean.
[Garland] DAD!
[Wiendigo] Search again.
[Garland] Get OVER HERE!
[Iceheart] Status: Hell no!
* Dias knocks on the walls here and there
[Iceheart] Walls: *are knocked on*
* Dominator runs over to Garland, "Garland?:"
* Booster 's form wavers a bit as the air around him heats up...
[DeathStar] ...Booster...?
* Garland 's CPR will be in vain if he can't get the old man's heart started
* DeathStar turns to him
[Garland] You have an electric attack! Shock him!
* Garland points at his heart
[Dias] NRP: Theres a garden right?
[Booster] NRP: Right...
* Dias walks into the garden and looks aroudn
[Dias] Gah...grass...
[Iceheart] NRP: Carrots: *Attack Dias*
* Dominator fires an electric shot into the man, just enough to try and revive him
[Iceheart] Old Man: *Sits up, sees Wiendigo, gags, and falls down again*
[Booster] I've had just about enough of him, Death Star!  But killing an old man who helped a little girl!...
* Garland keeps trying
[DeathStar] Listen, listen, the old man probably was going to die anyway...*does a cross sign* But killing Wiendigo will solve nothing.
[Booster] That tears it!...
[DeathStar] ...oh brother...
* DeathStar shakes head that new development
[Dominator] ...
[Dominator] We found nothing, Wiendigo...
[Dominator] Status, will the man survive?
* Garland gives up
[Iceheart] Status: Er, no.
[Wiendigo] Keep searching.
[Dominator] Damn...
[Garland] .......*a tear falls*
* Garland stands up
* Dias walks back in carrying a carrot in his hand
[Dias] I didn't find anything in the garden. *takes a bite out of it*
[DeathStar] ...eh?  A carrot?
* Garland looks at Wiendigo
[Iceheart] Carrot: *Explodes in Dias' face*
[Dias] AHHH!!!
* Booster jumps.  "What the?!"
[Snipe] ...now that was interesting.
[Dominator] ...I would say so.
[Dominator] Let's have a look at that garden, shall we, Status?
[DeathStar] The man grew exploding carrots?
[Dias] Maybe I should take the banana out of my other hand *tosses it to Snipe*
* Snipe grabs it, peels it, and eats it
[Snipe] Mmmm.
[Snipe] Best banana eaver.
* Snipe walks outside
[Wiendigo] *smirks* I'm sorry, what was that? "Wiendigo was wrong?" Funny, that's what it sounded like.
* Snipe walks outside and sees a sign saying "Exploding carrots: BewarE"
[Dias] ...hmmm *takes the toerh banana he has and slowly peels it*
[Dominator] Scan the garden, Status
[Snipe] ...oh, sure, Wiendigo...you were wrong....
[Snipe] Status: Except for those labeled exploding carrots...uh..it's clean?
[Garland] You..... Murderer.....
[Dominator] ...This is getting stranger and stranger by the moment...
* DeathStar looks at Ariel
[DeathStar] I'm missing something here...
* Dias takes a bite out of the banana and wipes some carrot off his face
[Dominator] Just why do they explode though? Any ideas from their scans, Status?
[Gravedigger] ...Who the hell grows EXPLODING carrots? C'mon! This is so wrong, people!
* Booster glances at Wiendigo.  "You live, for now..."
[Iceheart] Status: Self-defense?  Uh, it has some chemicals that explode mixed into it.
[Snipe] Okay, lets forget how bizzare this is and leave...shall we?
* Garland huffs.
[Wiendigo] Bring it on, hairball, I've shit out chunks bigger than you.
* Dias finishes the banana and chucks the peel infront of Snipe's feet
* Booster reverts and heads outside...
[Ariel] *shakes her head* I don't know...  he didn't deserve this...
* Snipe kicks it aside
[DeathStar] I don't think so either...but ... this is a weird development.
[Dominator] ...Wiendigo, just what exactly do you suspect here?
* Gravedigger hops up and down
* Garland clenches his fist
* Dias walks up into hte ship carrying a bunch of bananas
* DeathStar kneels next to Ariel and lifts the girl up into his arms
[Garland] You murdered that man........
[DeathStar] Lets get her into the ship before fighting breaks out.
[Wiendigo] My instincts told me something was fatally wrong here.
[Booster] I'll carry her.  She can fit on my back.
[Snipe] Garland, he had a heart attack.
[Dominator] ...Growing exploding carrots doesn't deserve capital punishment...
* DeathStar glances at Booster
[Dias] Snipe, care for another banana?
[Snipe] Uh, no.
[Gravedigger] This is whack, jeeze, c'mon!
[Garland] YOUR DAMNED DULL INSTINCTS WERE WRONG!
[Garland] Who CAUSED it John!?
* DeathStar nods
[Booster] Well, she can...
* DeathStar hands the child to Booster and places her on his back
[Wiendigo] And I suppose if yours said the same thing, you'd have been correct, right?
[Snipe] ...uh...Scary man there?
[Ariel] I got her booser...
[Dias] Scary man where?
[Ariel] NRP: Booster even
* Booster smiles and heads for the ship slowly, being careful not to let her fall, holding her wrists with his mane fur.
[Garland] That doesn't matter, you killed someone out of only an instinct!!!
* DeathStar pats Ariel on the back
[DeathStar] You're really fond of her, aren't you?
[Dias] NRP: End session soon?
[Iceheart] NRP: Yeah...I just...have to see this ending through...you guys...so funny...hee hee.
[Wiendigo] HE HAD A FUCKING HEART ATTACK, YOU MORON! THAT COULD'VE HAPPEN AT ANY TIME!
[Ariel] *nods*  Is it that obvious?
[Garland] YOU CAUSED IT!!!!!!!
[DeathStar] *taps chin thoughtfully* Let me guess...are you thinking of...perhaps, taking her in?
[Dias] Just admit it Wien, just looking at you makes mere men want to die from heartattacks, and your breath stinks too
[Garland] YOU HAD TO RUN IN AND THREATEN THE MAN UNTILL HE HAD THE HEART ATTACK!!!!
[Snipe] Status: He has things LIVING in there.
[Dominator] Quiet! Both of you! Calm down for a few moments...
[Wiendigo] NO! His fear out of being exposed caused it! I JUST called him no it!
* Wiendigo looks at Status
[Dias] What status?
[Wiendigo] What?
[Gravedigger] Huh?
[Dias] What kind of living things?
[Iceheart] Status: .... in Wiendigo's mouth....
[Garland] YOU HELPED IT ALONG THEN! THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!!!!
[Dias] Oh....
[Wiendigo] GRAGH!
[Ariel] I was thinking about it...
* Wiendigo lunges for Status
* DeathStar grins
[Gravedigger] Wien!
[DeathStar] Great idea if you -- *looks outside* ... hoo boy.
[Dominator] Whoa, Wiendigo! *takes several steps back*
* Gravedigger holds Wien back
* Garland blurs, throwing Wien out of the house
[Garland] Leave Status alone!!
* Dias walks onto the ship
[Dias] NRP: Nice spot to end it
* Wiendigo flies back in and decks Gar, sending him out the other saide
* Iceheart watches, shaking her head
[Dominator] Garland! Wiendigo!
[Snipe] Status: GUYS, WIEN WAS RIGHT!
* Garland keeps his place
[Gorgon] uhh...There coming Frosty...best hide
* Dias stops and turns to Status
[Wiendigo] You die.
[Dias] About what?
[Snipe] Status: WIENDIGO WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE OLD MAN!
[Dias] Why?
* Booster returns to the party quickly...
[Dominator] What?!
[DeathStar] ...*looks at Status*
[Booster] ...What?...
[Garland] Not today.
[Dominator] Explain, Status!
[Snipe] Status: I'm just saying that so they'll stop fighting.  Just go along with it.
[Dominator] ...
[Dias] Oh...ok
[Wiendigo] No, this very moment.
[Dias] YA, sure sucks that Wienbag was right about the old man
* Dominator rubs head, "I'm getting a headache..."
[Snipe] Status: Well, Wiendigo, you saved the day...lets go.
[Garland] Not by your hands.
[Gravedigger] Wien, boss, stop!
[DeathStar] ...*looks at Ariel* Why do I have the sense of dread?
* Booster grrs...
* Garland ignores them
[Wiendigo] No. *takes out his katana and lets it shine* By my blade.
[DeathStar] ...
[Ariel] Save it for the Tsiv.
* Garland doesn't bother yelling the words, but blasts Wien
* DeathStar looks at Garland, wondering if he should step in.
[Dominator] *looks at Death Star* We have to stop them.
[DeathStar] ...I know.
* Wiendigo deflects the blast through the roof
[Dominator] Garland! WIendigo! Enough!
[Booster] Need some help, Garland?
[DeathStar] ...
* DeathStar looks around
[Iceheart] GM: *an ice shield forms between Garland and Wiendigo*
[Garland] Stay out of it Booster.
[Dominator] ...This reminds of me of old times. But they aren't the old times I want to be reminded off...
* Booster preps for battle again.
[Gravedigger] Don't even think about it, Booster!
* Garland draws his sword
[Garland] A sword fight you want, a sword fight you get.
* Iceheart stands there, arms crossed
* Booster backs off, nodding and reverting.
[Iceheart] Really you two.  Are you going to sit here and kill each other all night or are you going to kill the people who need to be killed?
* Garland add Holy atributes to all his weapons
* Gravedigger takes out his shovel
* Gravedigger swings it
[Iceheart] Wiendigo, was right.  You have no proof he was wrong guys.  Get off his case.
[Iceheart] For all you know, he just saved your lives!
[Dominator] *moves forward* Iceheart's right. Now, Wiendigo meant for the best. He didn't know the old man's heart would give out... I'm not condoning his actions, but this isn't worth you too killing yourselves
[Snipe] By giving an old man a heart attack?
* Wiendigo drops to his knees, then to the floor, out like a light.
* Gorgon elbows Dom hard
[Iceheart] ...Gave?
[Garland] Bloody HELL! 
[Booster] We do have proof that the old man was helping that girl...
[Iceheart] Grave?
* Iceheart runs over there
[Gravedigger] ...Well SOMEONE had to stop him!
[Iceheart] ...what do you think I was trying to do?
* Gorgon looks at Dom
[Garland] The old man took care of the girl! Thats proof enough Wien was wrong!
[Gravedigger] *rubs the back of his head* Man oh man is he gonna be pissed when he gets up...
[Iceheart] ...at least he won't remember the ice shield.
[Dominator] Garland, calm down! Please!
* DeathStar rests hand on Garland's shoulder
[Gravedigger] I don't think he'd have cared.
[DeathStar] It isn't worth it.  Not today.
[Gorgon] Carry the deadbeat in and lets go
[DeathStar] Lets go get Booster's orphans, find Team B, and go meet Sigma.
* Garland is on the brink off killing Wien while he's out, but holds himself back, wanting to beat wien on equal ground.
* Gravedigger stands in front of Wien
[Dominator] All right...
[Gravedigger] Don't even consider it, Gar.
[Iceheart] Here, Grave, lets carry him in.  *bends down and grabs an arm*
[Dominator] *turns to Death Star* Oh yes, I almost forgot...
[Garland] ......... That was wrong Death Star........ It was just......evil......
[Booster] ...I swear, if I ever have a chance...
[DeathStar] One day, Garland.  Not now.
* Booster glares at Wiendigo...
* Gravedigger helps IH
[Garland] Too late, Gravedigger.
[Dominator] Welcome home.
* Garland turns and walks onto the shuttle
[DeathStar] *grins his lopsided grin* Thanks, Dominator.
[Gravedigger] He was right. And I'll back that up to my grave.
* Gorgon walks into the huge Ship
[Garland] NRP: or ship, rather.
[Snipe] If Grave says it's true...I believe it.
* Dominator enters the ship
* Snipe enters the ship
[Dominator] Let's see if we can survive this reunion...
* Iceheart carries Wien with Grave onto the ship
[DeathStar] Doubtful.  
[Booster] CorSec wasn't as bad as he is...
* Ariel enters the ship.
* DeathStar smirks and shakes his head, turning to Ariel
* DeathStar follows her on
[Gravedigger] If you only knew, Booster...
* Dias glares at Booser when he says Corsec
[DeathStar] ...why do I get this feeling...I know that 'Frosty' person..
[Dominator] Wasn't it you that said about things like that... "details"?
[Dias] Trust me mutt, Corsec was far worse...
* Garland stands on the bridge, boiling his rage
* Booster enters the ship and heads for the place he left the little girl...
[DeathStar] Hrmph.  It's like this...    .... Details.
* Dias walks onto the ship pissed
* DeathStar closes the ramp after the last person
[Dominator] Oh yes. That's what I meant to say
[Dominator] Er... She seemed familar to me too, but...
[Ariel] I think you might have... at some point...
[DeathStar] ...*looks at Ariel questionly*
[Dias] NRP: Mae: *comes running towards the ship* GUYS!!! WAIT FOR ME!! *a legion of Tsiv are chasing after him*
[Gravedigger] *looks at IH* I can tell that there's going to be a lot of this 'Us vs. Them' stuff.
[Iceheart] Yes.
* Iceheart turns back to the house
[Dominator] NRP: Heh heh
[Iceheart] It's a shame the truth will never be known, eh?  Wiendigo would love to be proven right.
* Gravedigger looks back at the house, sighing
* Garland joins Booster and the little girl
* Dias looks at the house with Grave and Frosty
* DeathStar stands next to Ariel, trying to think of something to say, but can't.
[Dias] Nice houes tho...great bananas
* Dominator walks over to Garland
[Booster] !...  Oh, hello Garland.
* Snipe leans on the wall next to Grave
[Booster] What are you doing in here?
[Gravedigger] I know there's something wrong there. It was so completely obvious. Wien's suspicions only confirmed mine.
[Garland] .......
[Booster] ...Dominator?
[Snipe] Hey, if we have time guys, we'll go back there.
* Garland nods to Booster
* Garland looks at Dom
[Dias] Aright
[Ariel] Let's get this show on the road.
[Garland] .....How is the girl?
[Dominator] Garland... Are you going to be all right?
[Gravedigger] If it's not too late by then.
[Snipe] ...that cigar...
* Snipe muses
[Booster] She's a bit skinny, but otherwise seems fine.
[Snipe] That...cigar...
[Ariel] NRP: When did Booster get the girl?
[Snipe] That cigar!
[Dias] Cigar...Think it might be Spade?
[Snipe] No, no, no, I think the cigar might have been a bomb.
[Gravedigger] *blinks* What? Wasn't he a veggie, though?
* Garland sets his pack by the girl
[Booster] NRP: You missed the lines earlier?  DS put her on his back.
[Gravedigger] ...A bomb?
[Dias] ....how so?
* Dias looks to the house
[Snipe] Well, look, the carrots exploded.
[Garland] See to it she gets all she likes from the pack...
[Ariel] nrp:  Yeah, I missed it... last I knew Ariel was still holding her.
[Dias] If it was the hosue should blow up real soon
[Snipe] He was taking his distinct time lighting it.
* Booster nods.  "Thank you, Garland."
* Garland turns to Dominator
[Dominator] NRP: Where's Snipe in relation to me?
[Gravedigger] ...Wouldn't that have killed him too, though?
[Snipe] NRP: Another area.
[Garland] No, Father, I won't....
[Snipe] ...so?  Brainwashed.
[Booster] ...At least most of you seem nice enough...
[Snipe] I bet you money if we light that cigar, BOOM.
[Dias] ...Dude, didn't he light it?
[Snipe] ...he did...?
* DeathStar stand behind Ariel.
[Dias] I'm sure he did,.
[Snipe] ...*looks at Grave* What about you...?
[Gravedigger] HEY! *shouts to the front* Hold on! We're going back to the house!
* Booster shakes his head.  "I can't believe I've actually met someone who actually drove me to hatred.  On our side, yet."
[Dominator] Garland... I'm not quite sure what exactly happened there, but... we have to stay together
[DeathStar] Hold on...?
[Gravedigger] Let's try it.
[Snipe] Right.  I'll do it.
* Snipe opens the door, lowers the platform and runs to the house
[Dominator] We have to work together even if we don't want to. We're the last hope for Earth now...
[Gravedigger] Dude, no!
[Dias] Just to see if a cigar explodes?
* Iceheart grabs Grave
[Iceheart] Oh, let him
[Gravedigger] Shit! We have to stop him!
[Iceheart] He seems to ahve a death wish.
[DeathStar] ...true.
[Garland] ......DS is right, not today, but one day.
[Gravedigger] He already got blown up once!
[Dias] ....Still. *runs after Snipe*
[Iceheart] ...oh great.
[Booster] ...Leave some for me, Garland...
* Snipe grabs some fire from the stove and grabs the cigar
[Snipe] Lemme see...*lights the cigar*
[Dias] Snipe wait!
* Booster glances at the little girl...
[Snipe] GM: *the entire house explodes*
[Booster] ...leave some for me.
[Garland] I can't promise....
* Dias falls over from the explosion
[Gravedigger] SNIPE!!!
[Dominator] Right, Garland... *glances back* What's going on back there...? Or do I really want to know...
[DeathStar] What was THAT?
[Booster] NRP: I bet something else made it blow...
[Dias] SNIPE!! *his armor forms and cover his entire body as he runs into the flames*
[Garland] ........!?
* Gravedigger lunges out of the ship and runs into the flames
* Booster 's ears perk up.
* Iceheart runs out of the flames
[Booster] What...?
* Dias looks around
* Snipe runs out of the flames
[Dias] SNIPE!!!
[Snipe] HOT HOT HOT HOT!
* Snipe dives
* Booster runs out...
* Dias grabs Snipe and chucks him at Grave
* Snipe rolls
* Gravedigger dives back out
[Snipe] ACK!
* Dias walks out his armor melting back to cloths
* Dominator runs over there
[Ariel] NRP: This going on for much longer?
[Gravedigger] Snipe, you okay?
[Snipe] ...well...that cigar was a bomb
[Dominator] *pauses DS and looks at him* What the hell is going on down there?
[Iceheart] NRP: Endingn ow
[DeathStar] Don't go...doooon't goooo.
[Gravedigger] ...HAH! HAH HAH!
[Dias] Your hairs on fire Snipe.
* Snipe pats his hair
[Snipe] Is not!
[Booster] What's going on?...
[Dias] uh...is tooo...
[Snipe] Is NOT
[Dias] Fine don't believe me then.
[Gravedigger] That cigar that old man was lighting was a BOMB, you little rat!
[Garland] ...........
* Dominator walks down toward the others
[Gravedigger] NRP: Err, wait, is Booster out of the ship?
* Booster 's fur bristles.  "Please don't call me a rat..."
* Garland steps off the ship and looks at the house
[Booster] NRP: Yes.
[Gravedigger] Then don't acuse my mentor of being a mudering bastard.
[Snipe] Lets go find those orphans now...you've proved your point.
[Booster] ...
* Garland the flames relfect off of his eyes, his rage now in vain, but even worse for Wienigo making him a fool
Session Ended
