* Ripple stands, watching, looking angry
* Sigma sneers sinisterly, his cape flapping in the wind
* Cipher_Mantis is working on a coat of polish for Viper
* Siawase waits patiently
[Sigma] Excaliber: Stands to the side, looking down
* Garland tightens the clamps on his armor
[DeathStar] Act One: Gates of Hell?
* Ripple pulls on a glove, making a quick motion, checking something in his pocket
* Cipher_Mantis hisses to himself as he works
* Booster paces nervously...
* Garland looks at Sigma, noting his expression
* Ariel humms to herself.
[DeathStar] Alright, does everyone know what I plan on doing?
* Dominator glares at Sigma from time totime
* Ripple slips up behind Ariel
[Snipe] I have the jift of it.
* Dominator nodds
[X-and-Zero] Yeah, it's risky, but it might just work.
[Cipher_Mantis] Nope
[Garland] As do I.
[Ripple] She ok?
* Dominator crosses his arms
* Gravedigger polishes his infamous Energon Katana while sitting on a relatively well sized boulder as he whistles

* Iceheart forms snowballs
* Cheryl checks over her supplies
* Wiendigo polishes his infamous Energon Katana while sitting on a relatively well sized boulder as he whistles
* Gravedigger digs...
[Booster] We'd better have our acts together... infighting is the last thing we need now...
[DeathStar] What I'm hoping to achieve has the possiblity of a 10% chance of working...if you like odds.
[Dominator] Great...
[Ripple] [Crystal] *creates a crystal knife*  good to go
[Garland] Odds are for those who are afraid.
[Wiendigo] *shous over his shoulder* Odds suck!
[Ariel] Hm?  Oh, Spirit?  Last I heard she was still the same.  Cheryl knows better than I.
[DeathStar] We have two shuttles.  A first team will be heading up into space to try and board the station.  There's twenty battle ships up there, all itching to blow us up.
* Booster smirks.  "This time, I have to agree with Wiendigo."
* Booster nods to DS...
*** Crystal has joined #taw
*** Gravedigger sets mode: +o Crystal
[DeathStar] If we can actually BOARD it, we have a.... 5 percent chance of succeding.
[DeathStar] Now, I don't think it's wise for us ALL to go up there and possibly all being blown up.
[Crystal] .. Good.  I like slim chances.
[Ariel] Hey, 5 percent?  This should be a cakewalk.
[Dominator] Lets not take any chances then...
[Wiendigo] *over his shoulder again* Weren't you the one who said "Never tell me the odds?"
[Dominator] Yeah...
[DeathStar] I know, but others live by them
[DeathStar] Status: Like me.
[Crystal] Screw odds.  They are just numbers people make up.
*** UO has joined #taw
*** Gravedigger sets mode: +o UO
*** UO is now known as Gorgon
[DeathStar] I don't know much about the Governor.  Wiendigo, you know more about him then me.  What do you know about this character?
[DeathStar] ...*looks at Crystal* That's my line.
[Wiendigo] ....*turns around* He's an asshole?
* Crystal flashes a dazzling smile
[Crystal] Thivery was always fun
[Booster] What are the other tasks to be accomplished?
* Sigma slams his scythe down, emitting a deadly power source at everyone that they can feel even without scanners
* Dominator grins, looking around
* Booster sits near Death Star.
[Sigma] THEN WHY ARE WE JUST STANDING HERE YACKING!?"
* Ripple looks up at sigma
[Ripple] Then lets get a move on big tall and ugly.
[DeathStar] Mainly, we need to take over the station and begin Paradise.
* Dominator shakes his head
* Cipher_Mantis finishes the coat of polish and turns to stare at the rest of the group
* DeathStar raises hands
[Gorgon] Let's do it.
[Ripple] Count me in.
[DeathStar] Look, guys, I don't want us to go up there fight until we KNOW why we are fighting.
[Garland] I know why I am fighting.
[Crystal] We fight for whats right.  We fight for the entire universe.
[Gravedigger] ...'Cause we have to win in order to free the Earth?
[DeathStar] *spreads hands out* If you don't know what you're fighting for, then things become blurred and you'll lose yourselves.
[DeathStar] Yeah, that's a team goal, Grave, by why do YOU fight?  What drives you?
[Cipher_Mantis] Becccaussse we have nothing better to do
* DeathStar glances at Cipher
* Ripple quietly 1"I already have lost myself.."  looking back at where Spirit lays
[Ariel] I'm not letting the Tsiv ruin another planet after what they did to mine.
[Gorgon] To kill stuff?
[Gravedigger] The fact that I have nothing else to live for? Is that the type of answer you're looking for?
[DeathStar] If that's why you fight, Cipher, you'll find yourself on shakey ground...and you will be distroyed.
[Crystal] I fight for the memory of Slash.
[Garland] I'm fighting for my home and the home of Elly and my unborn children.
* Booster glances at the door to the battleship.  "I have a few dozen reasons... if not more."
[Cheryl] Ah, cheer up Kid, I'm sure she'll come out okay.  She hasn't gotten any worse.
[DeathStar] Look, I don't think one should fight unless they have something to protect.  Me, I'm here to protect future generations.  And to protect all of you if I can.
[Cipher_Mantis] It'sss alwaysss worked for me before
*** Dominator has quit IRC
[DeathStar] But if you just go for fun, then, what will become of you?
[Gravedigger] Okay, I'm here to protect my home.
[Snipe] ...
[Snipe] I'm here to protect others from having their lives taken away from them early.
[Ripple] O
[Garland] I also fight for the billions killed when they did this to Earth.
[Sigma] Pfft.  This is ridiculous
* Garland looks at Sigma
[Ripple] I'm here to take the life of this governer.  *cold edge to his voice*
[Wiendigo] So's your outfit, Shitma.
[Garland] Then stay here.
[DeathStar] Dominator: I'm here to protect others.  *rests his hands on Garland's shoulder and smiles*
* DeathStar glances at Ripple and looks wary.
* Garland smiles at Dom
[Cipher_Mantis] I didn't sssay for fun... I sssaid it wasss becccaussse I had nothing better and thatsss what I meant
[Booster] If the Tsivrixsh rule the galaxy, then nowhere is safe for the last children of the human race...
[X-and-Zero] We're here to protect the Earth.  That's our goal.
[Iceheart] ...
[Gorgon] Let's get going then! We have reasons!
* Iceheart looks down, not saying anything.
[Cheryl] I'm here to make sure you all don't die.  I hope I don't need a better reason.
* Garland looks at Ice
* Wiendigo hops down from his boulder and joins the group
[Iceheart] ...I don't know why I'm fighting
* DeathStar sighs at 'Frosty's' direction
[DeathStar] Perhaps you should remain here?
* Garland notes Crystal
* Cipher_Mantis pats Viper as she cloaks
* Booster 's tail flicks a bit...
* Garland goes over to Ice
[Crystal] I'm coming.  
[Siawase] Siawase fighting to survive...
[Wiendigo] Fighting's the only life I've ever known. I know nothing else.
[Crystal] Theres nothing else to say.  You know you cant change my mind once its been made DS.
* DeathStar glances at Crystal
* Garland has assumed about Ice, seeing crystal.
[Booster] . o O (It shows, Wiendigo...)

[DeathStar] X and Zero, I ask you to remain behind.  We might need you later.  Sigma, get on.
* Gravedigger dusts off his hands
[Ariel] No way your leaving me behind DS, you know that.
[Gorgon] I'm comming, I can't let you guys have all the fun.
[Gravedigger] Well, if I die, I'll leave a handsome puddle.
[Sigma] Excaliber, you remain behind also.
* Ripple steps aboard
* DeathStar glances at Ariel and grins
* Booster stands...
[DeathStar] Wouldn't want to leave you behind.  Head for the shuttle.  You too Crystal.
* Garland looks at Ice, forgivingly, but not too much so to imply something.
[DeathStar] NRP: Cheryl
* Gravedigger gets onboard the shuttle
[DeathStar] Booster, Garland, and Wiendigo, head onto the shuttle.

* Crystal mutters
* Gorgon looks at DS
* DeathStar looks at Iceheart
[Gorgon] Why?
[Crystal] Welcome to hell...
[Iceheart] Maybe I should sit this one out, Wiendigo...
* Wiendigo turns to face IH
* DeathStar waves Gorgon over
[DeathStar] We might need you later.
[Gorgon] Well damn.
[Siawase] Siawase will stay too.
* Gorgon hops off and goes to the staying group.
[Wiendigo] You want to make things right with your past?
* Snipe steps on
[Snipe] Lets go party.
[Ripple] Party on.
* X-and-Zero run off to the side
*** X-and-Zero has quit IRC (Leaving)
[Garland] 'Let's party like it's 2999!'
* DeathStar notes Dominator got on the shuttle and shrugs
[Snipe] ...come again?
[Crystal] Think the world is ready to feel us again DS?
[Booster] Parties are good.
[Iceheart] I..
* Booster winks.
[Garland] ... I dunno. I heard it once.
* DeathStar glances into the shuttle door at Crystal
*** Gorgon has quit IRC
[Wiendigo] This is a damn good start, kid.
[DeathStar] Heh.  We'll find out.
[Iceheart] Look, a frontal assault isn't my speciality.  Besides, you guys might need me to help save your butts later.
[Iceheart] I should go with the second team as back up.
[Garland] Earth isn't restoring itself, let's go!
* Wiendigo nods
[Ripple] Launch this sucker.
[Iceheart] Besides, knowing you, you'll need my help.
* Crystal smirks
* DeathStar hops in onto the pilot seat
[Wiendigo] Hey, it's your choice. As long as you think you're making the right desicion.

[Sigma] Great, your leader is out of it.
[Ripple] DS.....
* DeathStar jerks the shuttle down
[Garland] Death Star?
[Ripple] SHIT
[Booster] Out of it or into it...
[DeathStar] Station: *opens fire on the shuttle right where they were*
* Ripple the jerk causes him to collapse the shield
[Garland] !
[Booster] ...I'm guessing the latter.
* DeathStar spins it upright and increases the spin
[Wiendigo] ...Why didn't someone tell me that he was frickin' austistic???
[Cipher_Mantis] How'd you know there were going to do that?
* Snipe blinks
[Wiendigo] (autisitic, rather)
[Snipe] Whoa, upright...

[Booster] Red means stop, green means go, yellow means go faster, eh DS?
* DeathStar doesn't respond, just dodging the hundreds of red streaking lights...say, like to see what they do?
[Crystal] Sit down, shut up and HANG ON.
[Garland] Maybe he is, but he's getting us there alive.
* Cipher_Mantis works on balancing the stablizers so the ship doesn't fall apart

* Cipher_Mantis turns to DS again
[Booster] ...Whew...
* Crystal sighs, relaxing
[FinalJustice] Geh..
[Garland] This is new....
[Ripple] DS...
[Ariel] ......that was not a plesant landing..
[DeathStar] Shuttle: Thank you for riding DS Air.  Please exit while this shuttle explodes.
[Gravedigger] Uh, guys? 
[Ripple] Dont do that again without air bags.
* DeathStar looks up
[Cipher_Mantis] Although I ssstill do like the fun partsss...
[Garland] Your getting better at that DS.

* Ripple eyes widen
* Ripple then glare

[DeathStar] Governor: However, I'm not currently here.
[Cipher_Mantis] Ooo... big title guy
[Ripple] You.. are the one who placed the PSI shield?
[DeathStar] Governor: So don't waste your shots.
[DeathStar] Governor: Of course.  Quite ingenious.
[Wiendigo] You ain't governer of FUCK, pal.
* Garland looks at Rip, then the Governor
* Ripple grip tightens around his warp blade, as he draws the other one
[Ripple] You will die by my hand.
[DeathStar] Governor: *looks at Wien and yawns* You're not even entertaining anymore.
[Ripple] Painfully.  and slowly.
[Ariel] .oO( The kid's serious 'bout this one... )
* Cipher_Mantis walks over to a piece of the shuttle and munches on it
[Snipe] ...Andrew...he's not even here.
[Garland] Ripple... calm, if we are drawn into a fight you'll be better off as calm as you can be.
[Wiendigo] Funny. *holds his sword up* Neither are you.
[DeathStar] Governor: I look forward to you saying that in person, Hunter.
* Ripple grins, a cold "I'm going to kill anything in my way to kill him" grin
[Ripple] I know hes not here.  I'm still going to kill him.
[Wiendigo] Just give me a time and place.
[Crystal] ....
* Garland narrows his eyes to Rip
[Crystal] I dont like that tone..
[DeathStar] Governor: Really, do you think you have a chance to beat me?  On my home turf?
* DeathStar glares.
[Cipher_Mantis] Ssso why don't *munch* you come down and sssay hi?
[DeathStar] Governor: Oh, yes, how rude of me not to come say hello to my guests.
[Wiendigo] Then come to mine and we'll see who's so damn smug then.
[Booster] We do outnumber you.  And whose home turf?
* Sigma has vanished
[Crystal] Bring it on jackass. *crystal sickle appears in her hand*
[DeathStar] Governor: *glances at Booster* What an odd creature.  I shall make you my newest pet.  Would you like that?
[Dominator] ...
* Gravedigger keeps pacing around the hangar, standing ready for anything with his scythe and shovel drawn
* Garland narrows his eyes
* Booster growls...  "I'm no one's pet."
[DeathStar] Governor: But, look, do you really think you have a chance?  This is the spot that starts the holographic world 'Tshiv's Shiva'
* FinalJustice whistles.
[DeathStar] Or as we call it, Paradise, right?
* Cipher_Mantis walks toward the door, still munching
[DeathStar] Governor: An odd name for it.
[Crystal] .... Holographic?
[DeathStar] Governor: Yes.  This is what starts the entire project to rebuild Earth.  A new level of simulation.
[Wiendigo] Let's just do what we came to do and split.
[DeathStar] Governor: It's basically, reality.  There's nothing you can decipher it from the real world.  We just fly in, shoot this off, and bam, the planet is ours.
[DeathStar] We came to take him out and get Paradise, Wiendigo.
[Ripple] Right. *continues watching the Wiendigo*
[DeathStar] We have to go through his little hell hole to do it.
[Ripple] (err, governer)
[Booster] Well, what are we waiting for, then?

[Crystal] The world to end.
[DeathStar] Do you want to go running off into his web?
[DeathStar] Governor: Ah, this one is wise.  Perhaps I should take you out now, Hunter.
[Wiendigo] So we cut the strings.
* DeathStar glares at the hologram.
[Garland] We must be wiser than this.... the old %5, if you remember.
[Ripple] You'll have to go through us first bitch.
* Ripple smiles
[Ripple] Come get some.
[Garland] Ripple, calm.
[DeathStar] Governor: No, no, you'll fall, one by one, the deeper you come into this station.  I have a friend for you to beat, my military general.
[DeathStar] Governor: Get through him and his traps, then we'll see if you can reach me.  I'll be waiting, of course.  *fades away*
[Dominator] How far into the station do we have to go to be able to take control of Paradise, Death Star?
* Wiendigo flips a cigar into his mouth and lights it
[DeathStar] I have no idea.  We have no information whatsoever on this place.
[Wiendigo] Still don't see why we don't just blow this shithole and go home.
[Ripple] Then we have to be smart and not walk into the traps that are set.
[DeathStar] Then the 20 battle ships will kill us, Wiendigo.
[Booster] Well, I suppose all we can doo is explore... and protect each other.
[Crystal] Aye.
[Dominator] Great... We'll have to keep alert then

[DeathStar] The last time we faced 20 ships, we had a whole fleet.
[Ariel] More than enough in this case.
* Wiendigo smirks
[DeathStar] That entire fleet was wiped completely out.
[Crystal] We dont have a choice.
[Crystal] Kill or be killed.
[Wiendigo] Last time we 'explored' and 'protected' each other, some of us didn't make it out in one piece.
[Dominator] There may be a better way to succeed than suicidally attacking those battleships, though.

[Garland] .... I'm not going to ask.
[Dominator] We'd best hurry... We'll talk about sometime later
[DeathStar] Alright, we know we have a military general out here.
[Dominator] The more we stand around, the more time they have to prepare their forces inside the station
[DeathStar] So, we got a foe who's going to use tactics on us.
[Garland] Take him out, and then the Governor.
[Ripple] Someone we have to get through.  
*** Zereth is now known as FinalJustice
[Ripple] To counter tactics, be random.
[DeathStar] Lets go.  And maybe we can find Sigma later.
[Booster] Or use better tactics.

* DeathStar runs for the nearest door
[Dominator] Right. We ought to try and take control of the computer system or at least get what information, such a map, we can to help

[DeathStar] Session Pauses
Session Close: Sun Sep 24 00:13:30 2000


Session Start: Sun Sep 24 00:19:54 2000
* Logging #taw to 'logs\#taw.log'
[DeathStar] Act 2 - Death By Hyperspace
* Dias plays [Punk Goes Metal - Link 80 - Harvester of Sorrow.mp3] - 5298k - [i²]
* DeathStar stares at the viewport
[DeathStar] I say we got an hour, max.
[DeathStar] Probably half an hour.
[Ariel] If that...
* Ripple nods
[Snipe] So, *holds side* lets do it.  Earth is OURS!
[Booster] Sounds like we've got to split up and search...
[Dias] So what we supposed to do then?
[Ripple] We could send out a decoy.. but..
*** Governor is now known as Sigma
[Sigma] What we need to do is take out the ships first.
* DeathStar turns to Sigma
[Dias] And how do we do that?
* Garland narrows his eyes to Sigma
[Sigma] Well, I found a hallow rocket.  We can packet it full of explosive.s
[Ripple] Yes, we'll throw small paper balls and hope that stops them
[Cipher] We got a big ssstation, we could ram it into all of them
[X-Zero] Zero: Pft. like that will cause enough damage.
[Wiendigo] ...THAT'S your brillant PLAN?
[Garland] How nice of you to help us with the hyper situation.
[Booster] Maybe to one of them...
[DeathStar] ....I got it.
* DeathStar turns back
[DeathStar] We'll use the greatest force in the galaxy.
[Booster] I'd say we'd have a better chance if we sent Wiendigo to slice the ships apart...
[Ripple] Whats up? *still feeling the aftereffects of Hyper*
[Booster] ...What?
[Gravedigger] ...Money?
[Dias] Wiens BO?
[DeathStar] Hyperspace.
[Cipher] Not Snipe's socks!
* Wiendigo decks Dias again
[Spirit] What?
[Snipe] Hyperspace?  How the hell can weu se that?
* Dias blocks it SL100\
[Wiendigo] ...As least he didn't say 'The Force'...
[Dias] Care to try again?
[Ripple] Aye.
[DeathStar] We'll rig that rocket full of explosives and use this station's super weapon.  By changing the weapon's alignments and the super weapon, we'll hit they with a blast to send them into the hyperspace.  Once in there, we'll detonate the rocket.  A disturbance in hyperspace will cause a mass wave of destruction
[DeathStar] The ships will be lost in hyperspace forever or be destroyed.
[Wiendigo] I'l lwait 'til you're asleep.
* Booster whistles...
[Ripple] Nice plan.
[Sigma] Pfft.
[Sigma] And where is the super weapon on this station?
[Dias] I'll lock my doors I'm more afraid of what you'll do to me asleep...sick crackhead
[X-Zero] X: Will this plan REALLY work?
[Booster] ...Sounds like we split up, keep in touch.  At least now we have two possible "winning" targets to find...
[DeathStar] Of course.
[DeathStar] With sigma's ability with viruse.s
* DeathStar turns to Sigma.
* Ripple smirks
* Booster blinks...
[Ripple] What fun.  Use the virus for good.
[Garland] ...
[DeathStar] Get your rocket and head for the nearest power source.  I'll send you the location now.
* DeathStar taps it into a comm.
[Sigma] What, use EM?
[Sigma] Forget it!
[Wiendigo] ...*beats his head against a wall* This idea is LAME...
[Dias] Hey looks like Chrome dome actually has a use.
[X-Zero] X: Would you rather be destroyed?
[Dias] Would you rather die?
[Sigma] USE ME TO ALTER THE SUPER WEAPON?
[Sigma] WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE, A TOOL?
[Garland] Would you not enjoy showing your prowess to.... the foolish hunters?
[Dias] Well if you lost a couple pounds and grew some hair...yes
[Ripple] Yes.  You do.  You look like a tool.
[Ariel] If you got a better idea baldy I'd like to hear it.
[Garland] I don't think he can do it.
* Sigma looks angry and then backs off
[Ripple] Nah, blimpo cant.
[Sigma] Fine.  But there'll be thousands of troops out to get that super weapon.  YOU will hold them off my back
* Sigma vanishes
[Dias] Nope...chrome dome can't.
*** Sigma is now known as GM
[Ripple] Good.  We have to save Sigmas ass.  
[Garland] .... I learned that one from Sera!
[Booster] ...The trouble is, once the ships are gone, what do we do about the fact that he's infected this station?...
[Dias] Hey you can teach an old dog new tricks.
[Ripple] We hope he doesnt decide to kill us.
[DeathStar] Don't worry, I got a few tricks left.
[Booster] Surely he'll take the opportunity to turn on us.
[DeathStar] I'll "help" him launching the super weapon.
* Ripple smirks
[DeathStar] But for now, lets get there
[DeathStar] Follow me, to the biggest power source

[Garland] Thats the spirit.
* DeathStar looks around
[Booster] ...I feel like a deadweight...
[DeathStar] I don't like this.  Surely the governor would have prepared something in the event of his death.
[Spirit] *To Ripple* [It's good to BE awake and moving...]
[Wiendigo] Sure as hell seems to, doesn't he?
[Ripple] Probably a deadman switch.
[Iceheart] Of course, I just wonder HOW they work./
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] *To ripple* [What? You didn't miss me?]
[Dias] Maybe grass]
* Cipher hovers back by Booster
[Garland] They aren't all geniouses, Death Star.
[Cipher] You are deadweight, MK I
[DeathStar] This guy was crafty.
[DeathStar] I just hope that was really him we killed back there.
[Booster] Right, it did look like they threw their whole squadron at us at once...
[Ripple] *To Stiletto* [*mental smirk*  I missed you.. except when your nosing in on our private moments..]
[Wiendigo] They're just dumb enough to work.
[Iceheart] Figures.
[Wiendigo] Quite.
[Garland] Well, it was a horific death...
[Iceheart] I always thought this head hanco guy who controlled all events just let them happen at his whim.
* Ripple sets his face in a grim visage
[Ripple] I warned him I would kill him painfully.  
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] *To Ripple* [*whistles innocently*)

[DeathStar] You guys take care!  Don't let ANY of them into that door
[DeathStar] If even ONE gets into the super weapon control room and stops us, it's game over.

[Sigma] Don't trust me, eh?
[DeathStar] Only a fool would trust you, Sigma.
* DeathStar glances and sees the rocket Sigma mentioned, a ratty old, falling apart thing, the door open and steam coming out
[DeathStar] THIS is your glorious rocket?
* Sigma ignores Death Star
[Sigma] I have everything set up to fire.  First fire the super weapon as the rocket goes, the rocket and all the ships go into hyperspace.  A few minutes later, boom.  Game over, we win.
[DeathStar] Rocket: *sparks inside*
[Sigma] Damn, a damaged circuit.  We need to repair that or we can't launch!  And our time table is running out!  You have to fix it.
* DeathStar scowls and his face comes to an understanding
[DeathStar] Fine.
* DeathStar walks into the rocket and moves over to the damaged circuits, noting they were purposely damaged, like he suspected.
* DeathStar quickly begins to the repairs as the rocket door shuts and seals itself.
* Sigma stands at the window, watching DS, grinning, waiting for him to turn around in shock. He's disappointed.
* DeathStar finishes and the repair and turns to Sigma
[DeathStar] Happy you finally bested me?
* Sigma scowls
[Sigma] You knew?
[DeathStar] Of course.  It was too obvious.  But if I DIDN'T come in here, the rocket would have been broken and everyone would have died.  And you wouldn't have gone in.  And it would take too much time to kill you, fix the rocket, and launch it.
[Sigma] So you willing walked into the rocket so your friends wouldn't die?  Pathetic.
* DeathStar shrugs
[DeathStar] When I began this, I came to terms I might die for others.  I have no regrets.  At least I know they'll survive and kill you Sigma.
[Sigma] Kill me?  You overrate your hunters.  GREATLY.
* Sigma turns around
* Sigma hits the launch button
[Sigma] Now, you go to hell.
