Session 84: "This Station is Fully Opertional"

[DeathStar] Time Chart: July 4th.  Final Day.
[DeathStar] Location: Outside the crashed ship and the HQ Ship (DS brought it, if you recall)
* DeathStar stands beside the ashes of the dead fire
* Ripple stands slightly apart from everyone else, eyes cold
[Dias] NRP: *suddenly wonders how they can keep a hold of all 3 locations when we're like the onlym ain people on the planet)
* Dias looks down at the ashes
* Garland adjusts the boots to his armor, tightening their clamps with loud mechanical clicks
[DeathStar] NRP: Good question.  And it's all about to unravel, beginning here.
[Ripple] NRP: WOO HOO
[DeathStar] Last night, me, Garland, X, and Zero discussed plans.
* Siawase is asleep.
[Dias] ....Hey I think I see a part of Mae's face next to that burnt log...
* Snipe thumps Dias
[Snipe] Pay attention.
* Ripple cracks his neck, looking at DS
[Dias] Ouch...sorry.
* Snipe adjusts his belt
* FinalJustice is just standing somewhere.. not paying attention
* Garland stands up, snapping the shoulder pads on, moving next to DS
* Blackjack cracks his shoulder
[DeathStar] ...at least we have Maestro in the brig now.
[DeathStar] Anyway, we control 3 key componets to the Paradise project.  We're stretched thin on men, but at least we know they can't be taken over yet.  But we'll have to hurry.
[DeathStar] Our friends, *nods at the sky* will counter attack shortly.  We're lucky to have lasted this long.
* Ripple nods
[Blackjack] Hey, you have the Carters with you...
[Ripple] So when does the search for this self proclaimed leader start?
[Blackjack] What could go wrong? *smirks*
[Snipe] Pfft.  Old man, when's the last time you fought?
[Ripple] NRP: *hopes everyone is listening.. Eiffle 65 is playing now*
* Blackjack glances upward
[FinalJustice] NRP: Eww.
* Dias yawns
[Ariel] With the Carters I'm surprised we're still alive. ^.~
[DeathStar] That's the thing.  Where could the entire project be started at?  Where's the HQ that starts the project?
[Blackjack] ...
[Snipe] How's that shuttle you crashed?
* Garland crosses his arms
[DeathStar] We've concluded it's NOT on Earth.
* Ariel was being obviously sarcastic.
* Blackjack coughs
[Ripple] Probably in the battleships orbiting.
* Gravedigger whaps Snipe
[DeathStar] Wrong again.  I think there's something in space we're overlooking
[Dias] Why would they put it on a Battleship.
* Snipe blocks Grave
* Ripple thinks for a few moments
[Snipe] You shouldn't hit a higher ranking officer, Grace.
* FinalJustice whistles.
[Ripple] The..moon?
[DeathStar] A good question.  Me and Garland think it's hiding within the moon's shadow.
[Gravedigger] You should think you can block a metamorph, Snippy.
[Garland] We'd never see it from earth, even on the clearest night. That side is always facing away from Earth.
* Gravedigger whaps Snipe in the back of his head with a stray tendril
* Snipe ducks easily
[Dias] Way to figure that one out Garland
[Snipe] Give it up, Grave.
[Ripple] NRP: PSYCHO KILLER!!!
* Gravedigger smacks it down as Snipe ducks
* Garland glances at Dias, letting the comment slide off.
* Snipe pulls out his saber and flicks it to let it hit it
* Ripple waits
[DeathStar] I don't know if it's drawing power from the moon or not, but I think it's a station.  A space station could very well start 'Paradise'.
* Blackjack taps his foot
[Gravedigger] ...Hey Snipe, what's that? *points*
* DeathStar turns to Grace
[DeathStar] (Grave)
[DeathStar] Will you stop that?
[Ripple] Aye... but then why the base on earth?
[Dias] So how do we plan on getting there?
[DeathStar] Now is not the time to be playing.
[Blackjack] We're really getting a long way fighting among each other, eh?
[Dias] NRP: Not funny DS..
[DeathStar] Well, taking our one battleship there IS out of the question.
* Wiendigo smacks them both, appearing out of nowhere
[Gravedigger] Ow!
[Snipe] Hey!
[Dias] Think they have a base down here with teleporterS?
[Wiendigo] Quiet, whelps.
[Ripple] Probably.
[Snipe] Exactly, Dias.
[DeathStar] NRP: I said that.
[Dias] NRP: Snipe: No I said that.
* Iceheart crosses arms
[Iceheart] So, we'll go hunt for a base with teleporters?
[DeathStar] We've already found it, actually, Frosty.
[Ariel] THAt sounds fun...
[Ripple] Great.
[DeathStar] X and Zero are there with a few others, ready to provide backup.  They're scouting it out now.
[Dias] NRP: BRB
* Ripple nods
[Ripple] Ok, we're gonna head out soon?
* DeathStar looks up at the acid clouds, dark and red
[DeathStar] I wonder what's going up there.
* DeathStar hops up onto the battle ship's plank
[DeathStar] I'm going now.  Any who want to stay back, go ahead.
* DeathStar walks into the hallway and heads for the bridge
* Garland jumps up
* Ripple steps on
[Blackjack] ...You know me better than that.
[Ariel] Right... And let you have all the fun?  I think not. *hops up*
* Blackjack jumps onboard
[Garland] I didn't plan with you just to stay back.
[Snipe] Great, lets go.
* FinalJustice follows quietly
* Snipe flips onto the plank and runs in
* Iceheart follows slowly
* Wiendigo puts his arm around Iceheart's shoulder
* Gravedigger follows
[DeathStar] Remember, we're not going to put this ship in danger.  Too many innocents on board.
[Iceheart] ..?  *glances at Wien*
[Ripple] NRP: D'oh.. forgot Crystal
[Siawase] *wakes up and yawns* ...where's everyone going...?
* Dias walks onto the plank
* Garland nods, walking along
[Wiendigo] Don't so glum, kid, smile...or somethin'...
* Dias makes his way to the bridge
* Iceheart smirks beneath her face mask
[Iceheart] And you could see how?
[Wiendigo] Or kill a puppy. That always cheers me up.

* Ripple takes a seat, and checks his pocket
* Garland takes a seat, buckling in
* Snipe slides over to weapon's controls
[Diamondback] Sorry, sorry I'm late.
* Snipe whistles innocently
[Iceheart] Have fun with your talk with DS last night?

[Wiendigo] A barrel of laughs.
* DeathStar adjusts the throttle and lifts the ship off, flying it straight ahead.

* Ripple nods
[Wiendigo] Whoopie.
* FinalJustice looks at Dias oddly.
[FinalJustice] Umm.. hi.
* Dias stares back stupidly
[Blackjack] NRP: FJ, BJ... that's gonna cause a little confusion.
[DeathStar] I'm sure you'll all treat him like you do everyone else.
* Diamondback waves idly
[Snipe] You mean insult and bash his ego?
[Ripple] Heres a tip.  Watch you dont shoot anyone on the team.
[Diamondback] Believe me, we will. *snickers*

[DeathStar] NRP: *cuts Ripple up*
[Ripple] NRP: ow ow ow ow ow ow.. i need glue..
[Ariel] NRP: Don't forget IH and GD.
* FinalJustice raises a brow 2" Sounds fun. "
[SOUND]
[Garland] NRP: And people wonder why I stopped going by UO as my nick.
* Snipe grins at FJ sinisterly
[Snipe] We'll put you on the front lines.
[Ripple] Aye. 
[Wiendigo] NRP: ...But wasn't that an entirely different reason altogether?
[Dias] NRP: Mmmm MACN AND CHEESE THE SESSION FOOD FOR CHAMPIONS!! *flexes his muscles*
[FinalJustice] Lovely.
[Snipe] He's probably all talk anyway.
[Garland] NRP: Several reasons.
[Blackjack] NRP: Mentos - the Freshmaker. *brandishes a pack*
[Snipe] I doubt he has any moves.
[Ariel] Good, we need more cannon fodder...
[Ripple] I agree with you there Snipe
[Wiendigo] And I don't you have any brains, so shove it, McCormick.
[Garland] Either way, John, we're on the front lines.
[Ripple] Hired goons.
[Dias] Chill Snipe...if anything he'll take the blows not us

[Garland] Denial is the first step to recovery, Snipe.... thats what I was told..... anyway just use the shampoo. That said, let's hurry, retaliation will probably be here soon.
[Ripple] Just sit down, shut up and strap in.
* Snipe flips everyone off
[Dias] Why would we strap in?
[Snipe] Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
* Ripple glances at snipe
[Ripple] Was that aimed at me?
[Wiendigo] No thanks, no thanks, annnnddd no thanks.
* DeathStar slams the throttle into gear, throwing anyone back who doesn't have a 110 power level

* Garland runs, sand flying at the impact of his feet
[Dias] ....But why would they do that?
* Gravedigger trails off
[Snipe] How convienent.  I don't like it.

* DeathStar slows down
* DeathStar thinks hard
[Dias] Well it won't the first or the last.

[Snipe] Yeah, but it could be the one that does us in.

[DeathStar] If it's a trap, what's the use of us all running in like idiots?
[Blackjack] Because that's what we do, DS.
* DeathStar holds hand up
* FinalJustice stops.

* FinalJustice tosses the 5 of spades down and shrugs
[Ariel] Looks like I'm going alone...?

[Blackjack] Low or high cards?
[DeathStar] High cards.
* Wiendigo sneers
[Blackjack] NRP: Either way I have a character stuck in it...
[Snipe] I feel SO sorry for you guys.
[Garland] I'm going, then.
[Blackjack] So it's me, Ariel, Snipe, Garland, and Wien...
[Garland] So it seems.
[Snipe] ...ME?  My card was a 2, wasn't it?!  *looks down and sees it's a 8* Hey.
[Wiendigo] This is the last time I let a freakin' card decide my course of action...
[Snipe] ...who changed my card?!
[Blackjack] Hey, fine, go with the other team, I believe you.
* DeathStar remains innocent looking
[Garland] It's also the first, isn't it?

[Snipe] And I bet, even though I'm ranking officer, you won't obey me.

* Snipe runs off
[Wiendigo] Carter, you're the ranking vet here, it's your show.
[Garland] ....
* Garland sighs
[Wiendigo] Don't screw it up.
[Garland] He may be ranking, but he's just as impulsive or more so as when I was little.
[Wiendigo] I didn't ask for your input, runt.
[Garland] Didn't ask for your permission, Wiendigo.
* Snipe runs along the entrance
* Ariel heads off cautiously towards the enterance.
[Blackjack] ...Neither of you happens to have a scanner, do you?
[Garland] We better go catch up with him... He's hurt anyway. 
* Blackjack starts for the entrance
[Garland] You know me, I'm not big on technology. *runs after Snipe*
[Wiendigo] Eh, it'll teach him not to run in head-first.
[Blackjack] We'll catch Snipe, force him to go with us, then look for the teleporters.

[Wiendigo] Aren't you supposed to be with the OTHER group?
* Garland sighs
[Blackjack] Hey, hold it. If this IS a trap...

[Blackjack] I never liked the direct approach...
[Garland] I never liked vents... too much dust.
[Ariel] Vents... gotta hate them.
[Blackjack] Too claustrophobic.

[Blackjack] NRP: We have comms, right?

* Garland crawls out
[Wiendigo] ...Kid's got spunk.
[Garland] ....Geeze.
[Blackjack] ...He's cleared a path for us.
* Blackjack gets out of the vent
* Wiendigo smears some of the blood on his armor and gets up
[Wiendigo] Good. Means less work for us.
* Garland looks around for any traces.
[Snipe] GM: *slight trail of blood goes right*
* Blackjack also glances around, looking for either a trail of blood or a computer terminal
[Ariel] Follow the red splotched road.
* Garland follows
* Ariel follows
* Blackjack follows
[Wiendigo] I hope THIS isn't leading into a trap...
[Garland] Pleasant metaphor Ariel....
* Ariel humms "We're off to see the wizard."
[Blackjack] Keep your eyes open for a computer terminal... 
[Snipe] GM: *more guards are seen, dead*
* Blackjack picks up speed
[Garland] NRP: Shin-Ra building, FF7 anyone?
* Garland runs following the trail and listening
[SOUND]
[Snipe] GM: *two paths are not optional..left or straight*
*** Rose|Zzz has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[Snipe] (now)
[Garland] ....
[Blackjack] ...
[Wiendigo] (whereever the blood leads)
[Garland] What's he do!? Split in two?
[Snipe] GM: Blood leads neither way.
[Wiendigo] Straight.
[Blackjack] There's no other way... Let's split up.
* Wiendigo flies ahead
[Garland] Knowing him.... yes, straight.
* Garland goes
* Blackjack glances left
[Ariel] Shall we go left or follow?
[Blackjack] I'm going left.
[Snipe] GM: *a guard is slumped left, far, far left*
[Garland] We don't need to break up.
* Ariel nods to BJ
[Blackjack] We have communicators. And besides, look.
* Blackjack points at the guard
* Wiendigo takes out his sword as he flies ahead
* Garland comes back
[Blackjack] Snipe's been by here.
[Blackjack] Unless team B beat us here.
[Garland] Hmm..... Maybe... *looks for a trail  for Snipe's possible back track*
[Snipe] GM: *wiendigo...flies into a nest of guards*
[Wiendigo] Hrm.
* Wiendigo phases into the floor
[SOUND]
[Blackjack] I don't like what I'm hearing...
[Garland] Nor do I...
[Blackjack] I'm... going to go left. Now.
[Garland] Me too.
* Ariel heads left.
[Snipe] Guards: *head their way*

* Blackjack runs left
* Blackjack drops back slightly and draws his rifle
* Wiendigo goes through the building structure and pops up in the left corridor
[Wiendigo] Company.

[Blackjack] Go, I'll cover fire if they see us.
* Wiendigo phases through the door
* Garland opens the door
[Snipe] GM: *inside is a bunch of terminals; dead bodies are all around, bullet holes in them*
[Garland] .... Bullet holes?
* Blackjack eases in
* Wiendigo rests his blade on his arms as he folds them
[Blackjack] Looks like we're not following Snipe...
[Wiendigo] Didn't think so.
[Wiendigo] So the question is...
[Snipe] "Who are they following"?
[Wiendigo] Who ARE we following?
* Snipe leans against the wall, smirking
[Ariel] Funny Snipe.
[Garland] Maybe we are, we're just seeing someone's handy work.... Snipe's probably following our gunner.
[Garland] ....
* Garland looks at Snipe
[Blackjack] ...Hello, John.
* Snipe twirls his rifle
[Snipe] I'm a gunner.  What did you expect?
* Snipe pockets it
[Blackjack] Didn't see you as a gun user.
[Snipe] I'm the best sniper.
[Blackjack] NRP: How do you pocket a rifle?
[Wiendigo] NRP: *keeps misisng that dam Zelda MM commercial...*
[Blackjack] We'll see about that one, later.
[Garland] NRP: Snipe tricks!
[Snipe] NRP: Eh, you know, a pocket thingy for rifles
[Blackjack] NRP: They showed that commercial at school!
[SOUND]
[Garland] Anyway....
[Wiendigo] NRP: ...Aren't those things laser ammoed?
* Snipe grimaces
* Snipe holds side
[Snipe] NRP: Yeah, but they leave "bullet" shaped holes.  I never said it was BULLETS...
[Garland] That was foolish running ahead like that...
[Snipe] Yeah, well, I don't have much stock in life.
[Blackjack] ...Wait a second. Weren't we being followed a minute ago?
* Snipe kicks the door open and runs out
[Wiendigo] ...Wait, what the hell are we supposed to be doing again?
[Blackjack] Finding the teleporters.
* Garland sighs, following Snipe
[Wiendigo] Right. Somebody check the computers.
* Blackjack slides his rifle into his hand and flips a switch on his rifle, then slides into the hall
* Snipe is out of sight, but the guards are there now
[Blackjack] If you find some, get back to me.
* Wiendigo points to the terminals in the room
[Blackjack] ...Didn't see those.
[Ariel] *looks over the guards* Well well... did all of you want to die today?
*** Arso_Vensire has quit IRC (??????????????????????????????????????)
[Wiendigo] Like maybe THOSE?
[Snipe] Guards: *twirl their xvash*
[Blackjack] Wien, you're the hacker, see if you can't do something with 'em...
[Snipe] Guards: *there are 5*
[Garland] ... 
[Snipe] Guards: *spread out*
[Garland] This is it? *grins* Leave or die.
[Wiendigo] I'm a localized hacker, not a field one.
[Snipe] Guard 1: *swing at Garland*
[Blackjack] Greeeeat.
[Blackjack] Then help us fight!
[Wiendigo] NRP: I gave Wien hack abilities outside of the sessions, they're not part of the RPGing aspect, sorry.
* Garland dodges, slamming his fist into the guard's face
* Blackjack raises his rifle and lets loose a burst of ice energy at guard 1 (1,500 AP, 70 SP)
[Wiendigo] Yeah, yeah, whatever.
* Ariel holds her sword out, starting to glow faintly.
[Snipe] GuarD: *dodges BJ*
* Wiendigo sighs boredly and charges his katana
[Snipe] Guard: *swings at Garland, 90 SL*
* Blackjack shakes his head
[Blackjack] Wanna play it tough, eh?
* Garland dodges bearly, 90 SL
* Blackjack thinks
[Snipe] NRP: We roll a dice for that now, Gar
[Blackjack] Then... they'll play it tough for me...
* Blackjack attempts to slide into the computer room

[Blackjack] Cut me off? Well, cut off THIS!
* Wiendigo fires his charged shot at the guards. (2,500 AP SL 80)
* Blackjack shapeshifts into a half-cheetah and dives at the guard, slashing his claws wildly (not sure of AP or SP, neither are stated on my bio, but bases are 1,500 AP and 70 SP)
[Snipe] Guards: *...uh..all die*
* Wiendigo yawns
[Wiendigo] Bored now.
[Blackjack] ...Yep.
[SOUND]
[Garland] Verilly.
[Ariel] Wow... that was hard. *sighs*
* Blackjack reverts and slides behind a computer terminal
[Garland] .....Pathetic. Though...Ow.... *holds his arm where he was hit*
[Wiendigo] Someone wanna go track down Dead Meat?
[Blackjack] Um... we DO have a skilled hacker here... right?
[Garland] I'm no tech guru if you asking.....
[Wiendigo] ...*slaps his face*
[Blackjack] ...Ariel?
[Ariel] Of course.
[Wiendigo] Good, get on it.
[Blackjack] Good.
[Blackjack] See if you can't find those transporters for us.
* Ariel slides into the operators chair and trys to get a map of the base
[Snipe] GM: *the computer is totally password protected AND in Tsiv.*
* Blackjack stands by the door, keeping guard
[Blackjack] What've you got, Ariel?
[Ariel] Well... I could hack through it IF I could read it. *sighs*
[Blackjack] Isn't that perfect...
[Ariel] Remind me to take some language courses later.  I can't read half of this.
* Wiendigo leans over and starts punching random buttons
* Blackjack slaps his face
[Snipe] GM: *alarms go off*
[Ariel] Smooth move.
[Blackjack] Good one, shadow-man.
[Snipe] *lights flash red*
[Wiendigo] At least I TRIED something instead of looking slackjawed.
[Blackjack] ...Yeah, you tried to set the alarms off. And you succeeded. Congratulations.
* Wiendigo punchs his arm through the screen and rips out wires
* Wiendigo places them in BJ's hands
[Garland] ...
[Wiendigo] There, YOU try, dipshit.
[Blackjack] *drops the wires* I dunno about you, but I'm going to run.
[Blackjack] Five were easy, but five hundred won't be...
[Garland] Let's just go.. *sighs* We can't fight many in this enclosed space.
[Wiendigo] Best plan you've had all day.
* Wiendigo flies ahead, phased
* Ariel gets up with a nod and heads out the door
[Blackjack] I get the idea what you did did SOME good, though... *shakes his head and takes off out the door*
* Garland goes
* Blackjack looks around as he runs
[Blackjack] Stairs, stairs...
[Blackjack] No elevator... Stairs, stairs...
[Snipe] GM: *you can go left, where you came, or right, where snipe went*
[Snipe] GM: *Alarms die down*
[Wiendigo] ...Snipe hunt.
[Garland] Goodie.
[SOUND]
* Wiendigo follows where Snipe went
[Blackjack] Looks like Snipe's two steps ahead of us.
[Garland] Hrm.
[Wiendigo] If he hasn't killed anyone already, we find alien tech heads and force them to do our dirty work for us.
[Snipe] GM: *a bunch of wires are ripped out, sparking madly, hooked to an alarm*
[Ariel] Any path is good, let's just make sure that kid doesn't get himself killed.
[Ariel] NRP: Gah!  Dammit!  Mind lag!
[Snipe] GM: Left or right now
[Wiendigo] NRP: Traces?
* Garland goes the path Snipe went
[Snipe] NRP: None...so, nayh!
[Blackjack] Right.
* Blackjack turns right
* Wiendigo stops and uses his Enhanced senses
[Snipe] GM: *Wiendigo can pick up sents of blood...right*
* Wiendigo follows
[Garland] NRP: actually the GM told us where he went, Wien.....
[Snipe] NRP: .... no, you came to another crossroad.
* Ariel follows Wien
[Wiendigo] Kid's got a lot of iron in his blood.
[Garland] NRP: Ooooooohhhhhh......... ^^;
[Blackjack] ...That, and a lot of blood.
[Snipe] GM: *Stairs are ahead*
[Garland] Shouldn't be be getting lightheaded by now?
[SOUND]
[Blackjack] I know I would be... Oh, perfect, stairs.
[Blackjack] We all know what that means, right?
* Ariel shudders slightly.
* Blackjack shrugs
[Ariel] Stairs and elevators...  I just want a good old ladder.
* Blackjack runs for the stairs
[Garland] Let's just hurry...
* Garland runs
[Snipe] GM: *ladder leans against the wall, evilly*
[Garland] Heeeyyy......
* Garland looks at the ladder
[Blackjack] ...No.
[Garland] Nah.....
[Ariel] I wonder if that's a good old ladder, or an evil old ladder.
[Blackjack] I've had plenty of bad experiences with ladders as well.
* Garland goes for the stairs
* Blackjack thinks about the time where he blew Slash's helmet off
* Blackjack runs to and begins up the stairs
* Ariel heads up the stairs.
[Garland] It's on the western wall. It was bad.
[Blackjack] Yep, that's one of the constants of this line of work. Right, good. Left, bad.

[Blackjack] You ordered the pepporoni and sausage, right?
[Wiendigo] ...That's why we should get the fuck OUT of here!

[Dias] So Mr.Govenor, what do you have in store for us mormons?
[DeathStar] Governor: *opens up a second holovid of a space station twice the size of the old Hunter HQ, hidden in the moon's shadow* This was my unoperational station.
[Ariel] Actually, a nice house with a white picket fence would be nice...
[DeathStar] Governor: But since you're arrival, I had to kick things into high gear.
[DeathStar] (your)
[Diamondback] ...You aren't Jack Tuscen, are you...? Damn, I'm in the wrong place...
[Snipe] ...high...gear?

[Ariel] Don't be so proud of that technological terror you've constructed.
[FinalJustice] NRP: The power to destroy a planet?
[FinalJustice] NRP: sound like the deathstar
[DeathStar] Governor: This cannon is enough to wipe out entire fleets.  And it can certainly reach the planet.
[DeathStar] Governor: And guess who has the honor of being my first target?
