 Finally...
[SOUND]
 *From other room*  Are we there yet?
 NRP: Whoop!
 NRP: LOL!
 I bet everyone'll be glad to see us.
 NRP: Hee hee
 Yea, are we?
 I can just see X2, his hands wide open, demanding that 20 bucks.
 NRP: Sure, laugh at my errs.
* Booster chuckles...
 Snipe will tell us when we are there.... Hey! Be careful with that tazer.....
* Booster tries to find some monitor or viewport that allows him to see Origin...
 Why will he want 20?
 Eh, don't ask.
 Long story.
 Ow. *zap*  Ow. *zap*  *Children laughing in the background*
 For the shampoo.
 ....I don't have a problem, Grave!
 Get off the booze, Snipe.
* Booster 's ear swivels a bit.  "Hmm... sounds like I need to check on Ripple..."
 You won't if you use the shampoo...
 Go get laid, Grave.
 Okay!
* Cipher finds a chair and settles down
* Booster heads back to the orphans' room...
 
 *ship jolts as it exits hyperspace*
* Snipe looks out the viewport at the huge station Origin and the Fury at dock
 Wow, look, the Fury's home.
* Ripple is tazer in the air, just out of reach from the Orphans, while they are climbing all over him trying to get at it
 *to himself* Sera, I'm comming home...
 !
 Ladies, gentlemen!  What's going on here?
 *slightly muffled* I've got it under control...
 Maybe..
[SOUND]
  He won't let us have the tazer back!
* Snipe watches as they head for the station
 Home sweet home, eh, guys?
 Suurreee...
 A tazer isn't a toy...  You could actually hurt someone with it, easily...
 Hey, I bet Elayne's on Origin if the Fury is docked here.
 Yea!
 And that wouldn't be very nice, would it?  Would you want someone to hit you with one?
 Elly... *smiles*
 Station: *begins to light up*
  ...
 Hey look! Welcome lights!
 ...Garland...
 * Kids complain and pout...
 Those aren't welcome lights!

* Snipe runs over to the comm
 ... *blinks for a few seconds*
 What?
 Those are the turbo cannons.  They're attacking us.
 What!?
 Somethings wrong... Gotta go. *picks off the kids and places them on the ground, and dashes to the next room*
 ...*hits the buttons* Dammit, the communication system is broken.  Damn old ship.
* Snipe turns back
 WE'RE NOT THE ENEMY!
 What the hell is going on here?
* Wiendigo storms into the room
* Snipe watches mechs being launched
 What the fuck did you idiots do NOW?
* Cipher flutters up from his chair
 ...we're being attacked.
 .. Oh crap.
 By their own people, no less.
 With the mechs yet..
* Booster blinks, but continues to deal with the kids, explaining what's wrong with zapping each other.
 SEND THEM A MESSAGE!
 Origin: *opens fire*
 Mechs....? Oh shi--- crap.
 Want me to try to PSI them a message?
 The comm. system is broken.
 Anything, Rip, would be good right about now.
 Ship: *Absorbs the shots*
* Ripple nods and concentrates, trying to reach an open mind on the Origin
 ...it's hurt, just like the ship was now.
 -- LIKE THE SHIP WAS NOW?!
* Cipher floats over to the cargo bay
 * The kids start screaming...
 Mechs: *open fire*
 ....
* Snipe sighs
 Can any teleport over?
 I cant feel anything... 
 Any luck, Rip?
* Cipher begins working with Viper to use her comm system to send a message
 Er, calm down, I'm sure everyone's taking care of the problem...
 Ship: *shutters and the shields drop*
 Someone's gotta lend me the juice to jump that far.
 ...Uh oh.
 AND QUICK
 Wouldn't they notice we're not attacking!?
 Shit shit SHIT!
 ...do you think Hunters think before attacking?
 . o O (What is the problem?!)
* Ripple tries to powerup a warpfield, straight to the origin's bridge
 The aliens have blasted us over and over. Do you really THINK they're going to hesitate to blast down a battleship?
 NRP: Succede?
 NRP: ... eh, go ahead.
* Ripple finally cracks one open, the purplish blue glow bathing everyone
 IN NOW!

  Nuh-uh!  X is!

* Snipe stays behind.
 Good luck, guys
 Hey everyone! Can you all run through the pretty blue light for me?
 I'll help bonehead there.
 I cant hold it open much longer.....
 NRP: #origin?
* Garland directs the orphans to the portal
* Booster clears his throat.  "Er, everyone, follow me.  Now.  We've got a problem, don't ask questions.  Double file, now..."
* Booster opens the door out...
 NRP: Yep.
* Ripple grits his teeth, strain showing
* Cipher flies back to the bridge
 
* Snipe keeps trying to keep the shields up against the attack
* Garland pulls Booster up
 Come on kids! Let's go for a ride! *hurries them into the portal*
 Ooo... a protal
 Garland.. move it.. now.... 
  What's that thing? *indicates the portal* I's pretty.
* Cipher bobs into the portal
  Is that what's attacking us?
 *looks at Rip* Kids first.
 No! It's nice! Run through it!
  Cool!
 Screw you. Once I go through.... it closes.
  Oh, shucks.
  OK, Mr. Garland!
* Snipe keeps working the controls
 Yes, please, listen to Gar...
* Ripple sweat drips down
 * The kids make their way through in an unorderly fashion...
* Garland makes sure all the kids are through

 Now... or... never... gar....

* Garland checks
* Snipe keeps working on the controls
* Garland growls
 I think so...
 I can only pray that was everyone....
* Iceheart keeps transferring cannon power to shields
* Booster races around looking for any stragglers...
 Come on everyone!
* Garland jumps through
* Booster finds a girl cowering in a corner...
* Cipher Viper boosts out from the cargo bay
  I'm afwaid o' dat ting...
 Don't worry, it's a way out of here...
  But what if it eatsh me?
 Ship: *rocks*
[SOUND]
 I'll hold your hand as we both go through, OK?  Is that all right?
 Sorry.. booster.... *uses a bit of power, teh portal shrinks, and boosts Booster and the girl through
  Well... OK, Booshter.
 *the attacking stops, but the ship begins to fall towards the station*
 Whaaa?!
 * Girl screams!
* Ripple the portal collapses, and he drops to the floor in one beautiful motion, from vertial to horizontal, no straight to knees or anything.
 *WHAM*
 You okay, Rip?
 *groggily*  I dont want to try that again.  Felt like my brain was coming out of my ears...
 NRP: Is there anyplace i should go now?
 We should stabilize this ship
 NRP: #origin
* Ripple stands, then moves to a control pad
 ...
 On it. *works on stablizing the ship*
*** Hikaru` has joined #taw
 They were attacking our engines.
 ...they were FRICKIN' attacking our engines!
 NRP: I just noticed.....Ariel's still in her room.
 NRP: Poor Ariel
 We've still got boosters, should stabilize us enough...
 Yeah, well, this is an old ship.
 So?
* Snipe muses as Origin grows larger in the viewports
 They could explode from use.
 NRP: So who's in this one?
 NRP: Snipe, Rip, and Ice are the only ones left on the Tsiv. Battle Ship
 NRP: Where would my four be?
 ...hey, Origin is moving!
 NRP: Bridge.
 NRP: Which Bridge?
 NRP: ... the ONLY bridge.
[SOUND]
 ...hmmm...at this, we'll bypass Origin and...
*** Hikaru` is now known as Ariel
* Snipe calculates the charts
 And go smashing straight into that nearby asteroid field.
*** Cheryl has joined #taw
*** Ripple has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
*** Spirit has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Spirit
*** Siawase has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
*** Ariel sets mode: +oo Cheryl Siawase
 That's just great.
*** Ripple has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Ripple
 NRP: Sorry.  Phonecall.
 At least we'll miss Origin
 ...oh, sure, we'll miss Origin, and hit the asteroid field.
 Get the frickin' breaks on.
 What breaks? The boosters you said might explode?
 ....
 Boosters and Breaks are the same thing?
 Close enough.
 Eh, pull them.
* Ripple shrugs
* Snipe looks out the viewport as they sail by Origin
* Ripple activates the reverse boosters, trying to steer away from the origin and the asteroid field
 *everything shakes, then comes to a stop, just 20 feet away from Origin's hull.  The ship stops*
 ....  I'm good.
 NRP:.... oops.
 ...oh, yes, good...*stares out the viewport at the station*
 I think I see my room.
 Think the others actually got the info that we are on here to whoever the hell is firing at us?
* Snipe sees X2 and flips him off while waving
 Well, they did stop firing.
 Will it stay that way is the big question.
 Hey, look, X2 is flipping me off.
* Ripple glances back looking for Spirit
 Thats nice.
* Snipe pulls down his pants
* Snipe moons X2
 Well... now is the problem of getting to the Origin.
 If Spirits around, I could use some of her power to open another portal.. or we could wait till they send a ship to investigate.. assuming they do.
* Snipe pulls up his pants
 Eh, they'll send some ships to get us.
 *To Rip* 
* Snipe makes faces against the viewport
 *To Spirit* 
* Iceheart grins at Wiendigo, leaning on the viewport
*** Alicia has joined #TAW
 GM: *a tractor beam moves them around the Origin to an external docking port*
* Ariel watches passively, looking ready to kill something without a moments notice.
* Wiendigo turns around and looks at X2.
 NRP: wrong chan.
 Well...we're home.
 Well, Lets get off this bloody ship.
 Can't yet.
 We're not done docking.  Then we'll need to get the shield to surround us and then a tube will extend and connect to us.
 Then we'll walk right onto the station.
* Siawase keeps waving to the ship though the people on board can't see him from there.
 *sighs*  
 I'd just like to know, since when did Origin have...engines?
 ... I dont ask questions.  I'm thinking that Slasher did that.
 NRP: *engines explode*  
 ...I'm surprised we all didn't blow up
 *everything shakes and a tube extends*
 There's our ride
* Snipe runs off the bridge and down the hallway
 Yep.  Yee ha.
* Ripple floats off after Snipe
* Iceheart casually follows
* Snipe opens the doors and runs down the extended walkway
