[Garland] Hey, leave the animal alone. Life'd hard enough for it without you kicking it.
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Dias] Hey I was havin fun tryin to keep it in the air.
* Booster glances at Dias strangely before addressing Death Star.  "So, do we have a plan?"
[Dias] And I'm havin a hard time adjustin to your B.O. man.
[Garland] Not the solution I would have used.... *sighs and walks back to the fire*
[Gravedigger] NRP: Ratshoot: Hey! Stop shootin' me!
[DeathStar] Plan?  The Hunters having a plan?
* DeathStar laughs

[Garland] We're going to need a good one, DS.

[DeathStar] You all need your sleep.
[DeathStar] I don't need a bunch of tired soldiers slugging it out tomorrow.
* Gravedigger walks up behind Wien and IH
[Iceheart] The calm before the storm.
[Wiendigo] Exactly.
* Booster lifts a paw and glances at the visible ankle joint.
[Wiendigo] Ked.
[Wiendigo] (Kid)
[Gravedigger] Boss. Frosty.
[Garland] I may be a bruiser, but I've spent years as a leader on Parnel. I'm going to help.
* DeathStar blinks his eyes tiredly
[DeathStar] Alright.
[Dias] ....*plops down next to Snipe* So you think we can trust the mavs till this missions over?
* DeathStar hops up
[DeathStar] I'm going to go talk a walk.  We'll work on the plan when I get back

[Snipe] The second it's over, they'll attack.
* Garland watches DS walk off
* CipherMantis cloaks and follows DS
[Garland] Be careful.
* Snipe rolls over on his back
[Dias] ...We should be ready for them then.
* Wiendigo watches DS
* Snipe waves a belt
[Snipe] I stole this from a Tsiv. warrior
[Booster] I'll be ready...
[Dias] What is it?
[Snipe] It's a broken shield generator.
* Wiendigo swishes some beer around in his mouth
[Wiendigo] Hmm.
[Dias] .....good.....want me to see if I can fix it?
[Snipe] I hope to get Slasher to fix it when I get back home.
[Snipe] You'll blow it up.
[Booster] . o O (...Then there are the drunkards here...)
[Dias] ...Meh...got a point there.
* Snipe stands up and puts it on, hitting the button
[Snipe] Hey, hit me.
[Snipe] Lets see how good this thing is, anyway.
* Wiendigo puts down his bottle and starts walking off

* CipherMantis follows DS closely
[Iceheart] Have at it.
* Booster hrms as he watches to see where Wien is going...
* Snipe lands on the ground
[Snipe] GAh...that bloody hurt...damn thing really IS broken.
* Garland looks at Booster
[Gravedigger] Sweet.
* Gravedigger downs it
[Dias] .......Come on, that was a quick jab.
[Dias] (Wien: *comes back* HAH!! I hocked a loogie in there!!
[Snipe] I've been blown up and shot for the past 48 hours.
[Garland] Don't bother with Wien, you and I both don't like him, but he is on our side... for now.
[Dias] No excuse.
* DeathStar stands on the edge of a sandhill, looking at the moonlight's eerie glow cast around.
* Wiendigo stands behind DS
* Dias reaches hand out to Snipe
[DeathStar] Wiendigo.
* Booster nods...  "Not only is he obnoxious, but he's immodest..."
* Snipe takes it
* CipherMantis decloaks and watches the two silently
[SOUND]
[Wiendigo] Don't pretend that you don't know.
* Dias pulls Snipe up and then trys to flip him
[DeathStar] About her?
* Wiendigo steps up next to DS and nods
* Snipe lands on his feet and sweeps Dias' legs out from under him
* Booster chuckles.  "Maybe he'll get his just deserts one day...  If he's always been like this, he has a shurttleload of humility waiting for him..."
[CipherMantis] About who?
[Garland] It'll catch up to him in due time. Now we need to be a little happy, we've all completed our tasks for the moment.
[Booster] NRP: shuttleload, even.
* Dias lands on his back and pushes himself up flippin backwards and landin on his feet
* Wiendigo turns and glares at ciph
[Booster] NRP: desserts, even., even.
* DeathStar continues to stare out at the sand
[Wiendigo] Buzz off, beachball, before you get spiked.
[Snipe] Sigma: *wanders over next to Booster and the others*
[Snipe] Sigma: Here's to another glorious victory!
* CipherMantis hisses
* Wiendigo snarls
[Snipe] Sigma: *Waves around his drink*
[Dias] Good you still have some spunk in ya. *throws a punch to the upperright of Snipe and throws a quick kick at him*
* Garland narrows his eyes to Sigma
* Booster tosses Sigma a sidelong glance.
* Wiendigo turns aroun again
[Dias] (Garland: Sigma? Is that you? I can't see, I'm squinting too much)
* Snipe raises his hand and blocks, then takes the kick, and returns it, toward Dias' head
[Wiendigo] Right now probably isn't the best tiem to tel lthe rest of them.
[DeathStar] I suppose not.  Some already know.  Like Ariel.
* Dias raises his free hand up takin the blow with that and then squats and rises up throwin an uppercut
[CipherMantis] Know what?
[DeathStar] ..Cipher, could you head back to camp and excuse us?
[Wiendigo] ...Go away.
[Garland] Where's your lapdog, Excaliber?
* CipherMantis sighs, cloaks and begins walking back to camp
[Snipe] Sigma: Oh, doing this and that.  Being a good little soldier.
[Garland] He's never far behind you, I know.
[Dias] (Sigma:Givin lapdances to all the...err....shit!)
* Snipe grabs Dias' arm
[Snipe] Give up, Dias.
[Dias] I'll never win will I?
[Snipe] Eh, probably would.
[Wiendigo] that thing's just a pain in my ass.
* DeathStar crosses arms
[DeathStar] Don't take it personally then.
* CipherMantis decloaks behind Sigma
[Wiendigo] Bugger off.
[SOUND]
[Dias] Just checkin to see if you still have some fight left in ya, cuz I have a feelin we still got some left.
[Snipe] Sigma: Ah, the hunter..
[Garland] What brings you to our....... humble camp, Maverick?
[Snipe] Sigma: *turns around*
[DeathStar] IT's been what?  Twenty years?
* Booster just watches silently...
[CipherMantis] Where'sss Lifebreaker?
[Wiendigo] 'Bout that, yeah.
[Dias] (And wheres the monkey?)
[Snipe] Sigma: Back over behind the crashed ship.  Like to go chat with him?
* Garland keeps an intimidating face while looking at Sigma
[Booster] . o O (What does he want?...)
* DeathStar glances at Wiendigo
[CipherMantis] Yesss *grins*
[DeathStar] You had everyone fooled you were dead for that long.  Almost everyone.
* DeathStar turns back
[Snipe] Sigma: *gestures* Go ahead.
* CipherMantis begins walking over to the other side of the crashed ship, cloaking as he walks
[Wiendigo] And they were the biggest damn idiots for thinking as such.
[Dias] Come on Snipe, we should head back to the fire and see whats happenen.
[DeathStar] You even showed up for the memorial.
[Snipe] Yeah
* Snipe grabs his rifle
[Wiendigo] *grins* Yeah, as I remember, you went all to pieces.
* Wiendigo smirks
* Dias flips the dead rat up with his foot and boots it towards the fire
[DeathStar] It was a new experience.
[DeathStar] So, what do you plan on doing now?
[Garland] I ask again, what do you want, Maverick?
[Snipe] Sigma: To talk with my COMRADS in ARMS!
* X snorts
[Dias] (Stupid COmmie!!
[Wiendigo] What I've always done. Fight.
* Dias walks over ot the fire
* Booster narrows his eyes as well.
[DeathStar] And her?
[Garland] Thats odd, before this, you seemed so intent on hating us. I sense sarcasm.
[Snipe] Sigma: You can sense that?
* CipherMantis gets there and begins looking for Lifebreaker
[Wiendigo] Dunno. Cross that bridge when we get to it.
[Garland] ....
* DeathStar nods and grins
* Booster flicks an ear.
[DeathStar] So, what all have you two done?
[Garland] I sense a lot of things, Maverick.
[Snipe] Sigma: *Grins* You are a fiesty one, aren't you, MAVERICK Hunter?
[Dias] NRP: Do i sense a hint of jealousy?
* Garland counter grins
[Garland] More than you know.
[Wiendigo] A gentleman never tells...So where do you want me to start?
[DeathStar] For one thing, I'm still trying to imagine you and her hooking up.
[Wiendigo] *shrugs* Kindred spirits, not really surprising.
* Booster chuckles a bit at the "duel"...
[DeathStar] Last time I saw her, she wanted me to impale X1.  You want the same?
[Dias] NRP: Ahhh....Wiendigos Softer Side NExt on Oprah
* Wiendigo removes his helmet and brushes back his long hair
[Wiendigo] Think it's any worse than what i've already got?
[Snipe] Sigma: You are a fool, little Hunter.  And you'll see why, one day.
* Dias walks over to Garland
* DeathStar shakes head
[Dias] Hey it's Baldie!!! 
[DeathStar] For some reason, I see this as a positive change for you.
* DeathStar glances at Wiendigo
[DeathStar] You've changed a lot over the years, also.
[Garland] One day. One day you'll also see why you're the worse fool.
[Snipe] Sigma: Oh, hey, it's rejected carbon life base.
* Booster stands upright, the smile on his face vanished...
[Dias] Geeze thats about as good as Garlands come back.
* CipherMantis wanders back toward the group shaking his head sadly
* Wiendigo glances back in Grave's general direction.
[Booster] Watch it, Sigma...
[Wiendigo] A lot's happened.
* DeathStar follows his gaze
* Garland ignores Dias
[DeathStar] Yeah, Gravedigger's got a lot spunk.  You taught him well.
[Wiendigo] Still doesn't mean I ain't gonna killyour bastich asses, however. *smrik*
[Snipe] Sigma: *turns to Booster* That a challenge?
[DeathStar] Step in line.  Garland says Sigma's got dibs.
[Booster] Only a warning.
* CipherMantis comes up behind Sigma again
[Snipe] Sigma: Think you can back that up?
* Wiendigo looks around
* Booster smirks.  "I'll have fun trying, at least, if need be."
[Garland] Booster, stand down.
[Snipe] Sigma: Oh, please, give me your best shot.
[Dias] Siggie, theres somethin growin on your neck...oh wait thats your head...nevermind.
* Wiendigo puts his helmey back on
[Wiendigo] (helmet)
[DeathStar] I think there's trouble brewing.
[Wiendigo] Ah. Wait, didn't we KILL him?
[DeathStar] Sigma is a virus.  He can survive anything.
[DeathStar] One has to learn how to completely eradicate his virus.
[DeathStar] Even Dr. Doppler couldn't.
* CipherMantis watchs the conversation with amusement
[Booster] Hey, I'm not attacking unles he missteps...
[Booster] NRP: unless, even.
[Booster] . o O (A virus...  Hmm...)
[Dias] Booster your not gonna attack even if he misteps...cuz hopefully it'll be in a fire or a bottomless pit
[Snipe] Sigma: *Steps to the side*
* Booster snickers.  "I asked for that one, didn't I?"
* CipherMantis stares at Sigma
* DeathStar feels a hot wind blow
[Wiendigo] Give him some of X1's dredful coffee, that'd probably do it.
[DeathStar] I think, Wiendigo, that tomorrow holds some dangerous games.
[DeathStar] I haven't felt this sort of danger since...we attacked the Planet Killer.
[Wiendigo] Ain't nuthin' we can't handle.
[Booster] Any game is fine with me.
* Booster grins.
[Garland] Sigma, I believe your welcome to this camp has been worn, I suggest you rejoin your slaves.
[Dias] ...Booster what are you talkin about?
* CipherMantis keeps staring at Sigma
[Snipe] Sigma: Slaves?  They are my fellow people.
[Snipe] Sigma: ALL reploids are welcomed with me.
[Garland] Hardly. You manipluate them via your..... infectious abilities.
[Snipe] Sigma: At least we don't use them as a front line for a human's war and treat them like slaves.  And blame them for all our problems.  And banish them.
* Wiendigo glances over his shoulder to IH
* DeathStar glances at IH
[DeathStar] Does she know I know?
[CipherMantis] Mark I reploids, you mean Sigma
[Snipe] Sigma: I would let you in two, Mark II, but you were attacking us.
[Snipe] Sigma: Imagine more reploids such as yourself and I.  A world of reploids, Cipher.
[Garland] I believe what the humans did is without merit, but infinently better than enslaving their minds
[Snipe] Sigma: No inferior humans would order us around.
[CipherMantis] You attacked firssst all I wasss doing wasss following you
[Wiendigo] She's affraid you do. With good reason, considering last time. You should talk to her, however.
* Dias looks around bored
[DeathStar] I did what I thought was best at the time.  I doubt me, Garland, and X1 would have gotten away if I didn't.
[Garland] Thats right Sigma, you'd order them around.
* Wiendigo looks at Garland
[Snipe] Sigma: Hmmm....you might think that.  But you're very wrong.
[Wiendigo] You might have to tell him personally.
[Dias] Sigma....can you do any tricks? I'm gettin bored.
[CipherMantis] Humansss aren't inferior that usss Sssigma
[DeathStar] At least she didn't kill Sharlena...unlike Talon.
[Snipe] Sigma: In your eyes, Cipher.  *walks off* My offer remains open.
* Wiendigo nods
[Booster] . o O (Has he ever felt compasion?...)
* CipherMantis stares at Sigma as he walks away
[Dias] Bah....stupid bald headed freak...
[Garland] ....
[DeathStar] ...*watches sigma* The sad thing is he believed it's the only waty.
* DeathStar shakes head
* CipherMantis grins in the firelight
[Wiendigo] So the runt and the flying rat-dragon knocked boots huh? That's has GOT t5o be the screwiest sex ever.
[DeathStar] It's surprising.  Of course, I don't think Seraphna much likes me being with Ariel.
* Booster nods sadly to DS...
[X] Talk about an egotistic idiot
* X sticks tongue out at Sigma.
[Wiendigo] Well, knowing YOUR luck with women...
[Booster] NRP: compassion, even.
* Dias reaches out to grabs X's tongue
[DeathStar] Everyone brings that up...
[X] Ack!  HEY!
[Garland] NRP: Booster, Um, DS and Wien are off on a dune somewhere.
[Booster] NRP: ?
*** FinalJustice is now known as Z|Away
* Z|Away 4[1­Dinner­4] 4[1Time:19:18:34 PST4] 1[4z1D­14v­4³1]
[Dias] I GOT YOUR TONGUE~!!!
[X] LEDGO, YOU IDJIT
[Booster] NRP: I thought they'd returned to camp...
* Dias lets go
[Booster] NRP: I'm confused now...
[Garland] NRP: I don't think so.
* Snipe shrugs
[Snipe] I wonder where the others are.
[Booster] NRP: When did Gar leave, then?
[Garland] NRP: Huh? I didn't... Wien and DS did.
[Wiendigo] Would't be anything happening to Ariel I'd be worried about. It'd be what Cheryl would do to you.
[Wiendigo] NRP: Ciph left us and went back to camp.
[Dias] NRP: Or what Ariel would do to Slasher
[Booster] NRP: Nuke mine, then...
[DeathStar] Cheryl and Slasher.  Sera and Garland.  You and Iceheart.  Me and Ariel.  Who would have thought so many couples would form.
[Garland] NRP: *waves hand*
[Wiendigo] All's fair in love and war...
[Dias] NRP: *waits for a comment on Slasher and Cheryl by Wien
[CipherMantis] Can't hear... voiccce isss sssilent
* Dias looks over at Snipe
[Dias] What others?
* X walks off to stalk Sigma
*** X is now known as GM
* Zero follows
* Booster looks the way that Sigma went...
[Snipe] Ripple, Blackjack, etc.
* Iceheart opens another beer.
[Booster] . o O (At least I can't host him... hmm...)
[Dias] Who knows...
[Snipe] Wonder if it's July 4th yet.
[Garland] NRP: Scream. The serial thriller of a blue reploid stalking a poor bald arabian wannabe.
[Wiendigo] NRP: RabidBooster: Ohhhh chhiiiiilll-dreeeennnn...
[Booster] NRP: Heh.  ;)
[Dias] Maybe...did you remember to pack the fireworks?
[Snipe] For what?
[CipherMantis] Death... ssstarsss.... ssssky
*** GM is now known as Maestro
* Maestro walks up
* Gravedigger hums
[Dias] .....to confuse people
[Snipe] Oh, lookee here, it's Maestro.
[Dias] ...I thought I smelt somethin.
[Garland] ...
* Wiendigo looks back over his shoulder
[Snipe] Forgot to bathe again, Dias?
[Booster] Oh, hi Maestro,
[Wiendigo] Hrm.
[Maestro] NRP: Maest sadi that
[DeathStar] What?
[Dias] Actually yes.
* DeathStar follows Wien's gaze
[Snipe] Figures.  Flithy pig.
[Snipe] NRP: GAH!
[Snipe] NRP: *shoots Snipe*
[Wiendigo] *nods* Maestro. Could that be trouble?
[DeathStar] The boy's pretty screwed up in the head.
* Booster frowns.
[Dias] Meh...
[DeathStar] According to him, I'm a mass murderer.
* Garland fires a small blast into the fire, which was burning low.
[Wiendigo] ...Then what the fuck am I?
[DeathStar] To him?  A Saint.
[CipherMantis] Ssstarsss...
[Dias] NRP: Child molester..definately a child molester
[Garland] NRP: Also according to him, Wein is a Clinton.
* Maestro looks at everyone and sits down
[Wiendigo] NRP: mmm...Icy in a thong....*drool*
[Dias] Forget to piss off some more mavs?
[Maestro] Forget to learn how to be witty?
[Dias] NRP: *replaces the icy into Deathstar*
* Booster sits down, facing Maestro.
[Wiendigo] *blinks* A saint? Heh, that could be interestin'...
* Iceheart looks at Maestro
[Iceheart] Gah, idiot.
[Dias] Tushe crackfiend.
[DeathStar] I meant that in a bad way.
* Gravedigger looks at Mae
[Wiendigo] Sure, sure.
[Maestro] Really, Dias, you should learn how to be more mature about your work.
* Garland doesn't look at either Mae or Dias
[Dias] You should learn not to let your ego take ahold of ya, and atleast fight on your own races side
[CipherMantis] Ssstarsss...
[Wiendigo] If something happens to that guy, I get dibs on his hands.
[Maestro] Hey, listen, my crimes are minor compared to you.
* Booster sighs.
[Dias] ...What are my crimes then mon frair?
[Garland] Be silent Maestro. Do not speak of what you are misinformed of.
[Maestro] Disobeying your leaders.  Killing the other side when they just want peace.
[Booster] . o O (I wonder if the bickering is usually this bad...  For that matter, I wonder how the children are...)
[Maestro] Unless you have some information, why do you shut up, Garland?
[Maestro] (don't)
[Dias] who did I disobey? And if they want peace so bad then why do they do it in such cruel ways?
[CipherMantis] 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8...
[Maestro] You disobeyed Steel for one thing.
[Dias] Yes I did.
[Booster] ...I think I'll go back to keeping watch.
[Garland] I do. We are against the Tsiv because their method of attaining 'peace' is to eradicate all which won't serve them. You spat on the dying child because you thought yourself better than them.
* Gravedigger shakes his head
* Booster heads away from camp...
[Maestro] I am better.
[Gravedigger] Shame we can't vote that guy out of the group or somethin'.
[CipherMantis] ...59-60-61-62-63-64...
* Booster stops at Mae's words...
[Dias] Your no better than the crap the enemy shits out.
[Booster] . o O (What?...)
[Gravedigger] ...Hey, wait, that sounds like a great idea fora TV show...
[Maestro] I can't help if they are too pathetic to defend themselves.
* Booster turns and watches Maestro warily...
[CipherMantis] ....102-103-104-105-106-107...
[Dias] So just because a child can't defend himself against someone who wants peace, he's weak?
[Garland] You believe those children were that way by choice? You are wrong. You are far, far below them. Those people are better than any of us. They endured pains no one should experience.
[Maestro] That's correct.
[Maestro] They wouldn't have to experience if you stopped fighting.
* DeathStar watches them from the distance with Wien
[DeathStar] See what I mean?
*** Z|Away is now known as Zereth
* Zereth 4[1Back from Dinner4] 4[1Gone for: 13mins 13secs from 19:18:34 to 19:31:47 PST4] 1[4z1D­14v­4³1]
[Dias] So then according to your logic, the tsiv are weak because they can't defend themselves against us who want peace?
[CipherMantis] ...201-202-203...
[Wiendigo] WAnt I should beat the shit out of him or something?
[Garland] Once again, you are misinformed. We weren't fighting them like this before they attacked Earth.
[DeathStar] I might turn my back on it if you wantee.
*** Zereth is now known as FinalJustice
* Wiendigo reaches over his back and slides out his katana
[Wiendigo] Senseless murder and mayhem, now we're talkin'...
[Maestro] If Earth didn't put a resistance 20 years ago...we would have been taken over peacefully
[Dias] Maestro you have no ethnics or self preservation.
[Maestro] They only do this if we resist them, Garland.
[DeathStar] NRP: So, am I managing to piss you guys off like the real Maest yet?
[Booster] So you would rather lose your freedom?
[Gravedigger] NRP: You've got him down to a 'T'
*** FinalJustice has left #TAW
[Garland] Slavery is not something people would enjoy. Some are so intent on being free they'd give their lives for it. And they did, the died for what they believed in.
[Dias] tell me mae, how does a pissant like you become a Tsiv worker without bein murdered on the spot, you never clarified that part yet
[Maestro] Lose freedom or lives?  What is the justice in that?
* Wiendigo slings his sword over his shoulder and starts back for camp, whistling a happy-go-lucky tune
[CipherMantis] SSSILENCCCE! I'M TRYING TO COUNT SSSTARSSS!
[CipherMantis] 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9...
[Garland] You tell me. Your the one attempting to justify the Tsiv.
[SOUND]
* Gravedigger hears the whistling and looks at Wien heading for the camp
[Gravedigger] Uh oh.
[Maestro] They only want peace too, Garland.  Democratic governments get nothing done.  1 emperor can hold together peace because his word is law.
[Dias] ....I'm gonna beat the piss out of him...
[Iceheart] Isn't DS going to stop him?
[Gravedigger] Hopefully...
* Garland looks at Mae, almost laughing at him, but hears Wien's wistling
* Wiendigo walks up onto to the debaters
* CipherMantis stands, sighs and looks for DS
