* Snipe opens it up and pops in three pills, swallowing them
[Dias] NRP: Slasher...
* Snipe closes the bottle and throws it back into his pocket

* Garland sighs, falling back and looking at the cieling
* Silverblade stretches and yawns ever so slightly, waking up from his nap...
* Snipe glances at the computers and rolls up to it, bringing out a lay out of Tsivrixsh information
[Booster] Well, basically, I want to Wiendigo-proof it.  Which ought to be a fair challenge seeing as he can phase through walls...
[Dias] Slasher: Cha....
[Cheryl] That wouldn't be easy...
* Snipe sees a mental image of Garland in his head and flinches
* Booster nods...
[Ariel] You okay Snipe?
[Booster] Can you do it?
[Snipe] Dammit, I can't concentrate anymore.  *slams fist down on the keyboard, causing it to spark*
* Cheryl looks to Slasher.
[Ariel] Hey, maybe you should take a break
[Dias] Slasher: Young Grasshopper, by making something that would challenge his skills would cause him to only attempt to get through it
* Silverblade heads down to the training room..... "Nothing like some good ole training to get all this confusion out of my head...."

[Ariel] NRP: Hey Rip
[Snipe] NRP: Report to someone and get filled on the past few sessions
[Ripple] NRP:  *assumes he's missing session*
[Snipe] Gah, my head aches.  It hasn't stopped aching since Garland decided to play punching bag with it.
[Booster] I just don't want him in my orphanage anymore under any circumstances...
[Dias] .....too many things have happened..
* Snipe reaches into his coat pocket and opens his bottles again
[Silverblade] Computer end training session....
* Snipe pops in more pain pills
[Dias] Slasher: still....something that could block phasing..and shadow porting..
[Booster] You can take your time in getting it right if you think it can be done...
[Ariel] Dpm
[Garland] .oO(Why did I do that  to Snipe.......?)
[Ariel] Don't take too many of those suckers.
[Garland] All I had to do was knock him out......
[Snipe] Hah.  I'm not worried about overdosing.  That'll be a blessing right about now.
* Snipe throws the bottle into his pocket again
* Spirit sits in her room, working on writing a new song
[Ripple] NRP: WILL SOMEONE FILL ME IN BEFORE I HAVE TO GET NASTY?!
[Ariel] Want some help?
[Ripple] NRP: *kicks caps*
* Silverblade enters the computer controll center....
[Snipe] On overdosing or planning things?
[Ariel] *shrugs* Either or.
[Silverblade] May I speak to you sir.....
[Booster] Anyway, I won't push you.  Take it as a request.  Besides, I have other things to do while I have a break...
* Snipe glances at Silver
[Snipe] Yah?
* Ripple mentally taps Spirit on the sholder
* Spirit looks, then smirks.
[Ripple] [Miss me?]
* Ripple appears a moment later from a warp
[Spirit] You bet.
[Silverblade] Ah...The recent events ahppening here sir well they're just damn confusing to me....
[Snipe] Ain't that the truth.
* Booster waves, then heads out of the mechbay and down towards the brig...
* Ripple hugs her, looking at the song she is composing
[Spirit] *hugs back* It's coming along slowly
* Ripple hums a few bars, then smirks
[Ripple] Sounds good so far
[Spirit] Thanks.
* Dias walks past the control room yawning
[Dias] Slasher: I'll see what I can do Booster
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] [I still say it could use an electric guitar.]
[Spirit] Oh, quiet you.
* Snipe looks back at the computer
[Booster] NRP: That was late, but I'll respond anyway...
* Booster smiles.  "Thanks."
* Gravedigger steps out of the elevator, looking like crap
[Silverblade] Ummm....Could you please reiterate with me what the hell has happened lately?
[Booster] NRP: Back to linear time:
[Snipe] ...Ariel, could you please reiterate what the hell has happened to him?
* Booster enters the brig, searching...
[Snipe] Guard: *sits there, blocking the entrance to the cells*
[Ariel] I haven't a clue.
[Booster] Excuse me, sir...
[Snipe] Guard: I told you last time, buddy, no!
* Ripple gives Spirit a quick peck on the cheek, and winks
[Ripple] I'm going to go find Snipe
* Booster sighs...
* Snipe holds head
[Booster] Fine...
[Snipe] Gaaaah!
[Spirit] Okay.  Want some company?
[Ripple] Sure
* Booster heads out of the brig and up a floor... then looks for air ducts.
* Dias walks into the Training room
* Spirit puts her keyboard aside and hops to her feet
[Dias] Computer care to place me anywhere but here?
[Snipe] Basically, Silverblade, someone attacked the station, Shretrav, one of the main Tsivrixsh people, kidnapped all the males, we hada battle on her ship just a few hundred meters from the station, and we blew it up.  Shretrav probably escaped.
* Gravedigger heads into the control room
[Snipe] Computer: *places him on an island*
[Snipe] GM: *Booster spots Grave's trusty airducts that lead into the brig*
[Dias] Thanks....*leans against a palm tree*
* Booster grins and tries to get in...
* Ripple holds out his arm, and opens the door
[Ripple] Shall we?
[Snipe] Now everyone is on their toes ready to break each other apart.
[Silverblade] And what about Eve?
[Snipe] I'm wondering what the hell we're fighting for.
[Snipe] And Eve---you know about Eve?
[Snipe] Well, Eve ordered us to keep her under lock and key.
[Spirit] *takes his hand* We shall.
[Snipe] She doesn't want any vistors.
* Ripple walks off in the general direction of the elevators
[Snipe] Booster: *fits in*
[Booster] NRP: Is a nonhumanoid getting into the air ducts a problem?
[Booster] NRP: OK, thankupo.  :)
* Garland closes his eyes, thinking.
[Snipe] NRP: If Grave can do it, you can do it
* Booster clumbs carefully through the ducts...
[Silverblade] Ah.....
[Booster] NRP: climbs, even.
* Snipe works on a stategy plan
* Ariel closes the game and reads over her intelligence reports.
[Ripple] Computer, where is snipe right now?
[Snipe] Hmm...the Star Raiders have been hitting key points along this path.
[Snipe] Computer: Control room
* Snipe reaches subconciously into his coat pocket and opens his bottle, popping more pain pills
* Garland yells into the expance of his training room
[Snipe] They must know something we don't..
[Garland] DAMNIT TO HELL!!!!
[Silverblade] So....what the hell was this I heard about Garland going a bit off the deep end...apparently on you....?
[Ripple] Thanks Computer.
* Gravedigger steps out into the control room
* Booster makes it to the grate to the brig and removes it, stepping in quietly...
[Ariel] What are they trying to do, split the empire in half?
* Ripple steps aboard the elevator
[Ripple] Control room.
[Snipe] I was under Eve's control.  He decided to try and kill me.
[Snipe] Guard: *doesn't notice Booster*
[Snipe] Well, right now, they're just chipping at the ends it seems
[Snipe] But it looks like they knew what key points to hit.
[Garland] John... I didn't mean to... 
* Dias yawns on the island
[Garland] Elly must hate me now.....
[Booster] . o O (I can't risk being noticed while I'm talking...)
[Ariel] From the looks of it, they have better informants than I do.
* Booster tries to *ZAP* the guard from behind.
[Snipe] Yeah, there has to be some intel base we can hit to learn something.
[Snipe] Guard: *falls over, KOed*
* Ripple steps out, in time to catch the last bit of what Snipe said
[Ripple] Learn what?
[Snipe] Learn what to strike.
[Ripple] Aye.
[Snipe] Of course, I'm worried about the team shattering even more.
* Booster looks around, glancing at each prisoner as he looks for Eve...
[Dias] Sigh..Computer, turn the sim off plz.
[Snipe] Eve: *is in the last cell*
[Snipe] Computer: *ends it*
[Ripple] You've got me.  I'll back you up when necessary.
[Ariel] Well... We could try repainting the command room...
[Snipe] ...*looks at the two*
* Snipe turns back
* Dias stands up and walks out of hte trianing room door and heads to the control room
[Snipe] I wish I could find DS.  I know you guys don't think I can handle the pressure of leadership.  *sighs*
* Booster simply sits in front of Eve's cell silently for the moment, looking at her expectantly.
[Snipe] I mean, I snapped once.
[Silverblade] Why the hell does it seem everyone around here would rather kill each other than our enemies?
* Ripple sighs
[Snipe] Because we aren't focused enough
[Snipe] We know our enemy but we just can't strike it properly, so it's venting up in us.
[Ripple] Sooner or later its going to come back and blow up in our face.
* Dias steps in, his hands in his pockets
[Snipe] Eve: *is laying there*
[Ariel] And we can't strike properly until the team vents some frustration.
[Booster] NRP: Asleep or awake?
[Snipe] Yeah, but if we keep venting this frustration, we'll end up killing each other.
[Snipe] NRP: She's awake, just looking up
* Snipe holds head
[Snipe] ...ughhh.
* Booster just continues to wait for now...
[Ripple] You ok?
* Snipe reaches into his pocket and grabs the bottle again
[Snipe] Fine.
* Snipe opens it up, sees only three are left, curses, and pops them in
[Spirit] *sighs* Don't you love vicious circles...
* Snipe throws the bottle to the side
[Gravedigger] Careful, you might get adicted to those.
[Ripple] What great fun.
[Silverblade] Personally I'd like to vent...on our enemy...but that's just me...
[Ripple] NRP: Tynol #30000
[Snipe] We have so many factors out there.
* Garland steps out of the training room
* Dias leans against one of the walls and listens
[Garland] Computer.
[Snipe] 1) Talon's connections are being ressurected.  2) The Star Raiders.  3) The Tsivrixsh.   Who is the enemy in those?  Definately 3.
[Snipe] Computer: Yes?
* Booster finally speaks up.  "You never answered my question."
[Ripple] We do have to keep a watch out for 2 though... Never be unprepared for the worst.
[Snipe] Eve: Why are you still here?
[Ripple] If your ready, anything less then the worst will be a walk in the park.
[Snipe] If we just had something to unite the team, like we did with the attack on Earth....
* Dias thinks
[Spirit] Well...
[Booster] I know why others think you're dangerous.  I want to know why you think you're dangerous.
[Garland] Have every bit of data we have on Shretrav, the Star Raiders, Earth's current standing, mine and Sera's credit accounts, and John's medical report. Have it in the control room by the time I get thre.
[Garland] NRP: there
[Snipe] Eve: Because I'm easily controlled.
* Booster blinks.
[Ripple] What is there aside from the whole "rescue DS" thing?
[Snipe] Computer: I...deny you that.
[Booster] That's all?
[Garland] .... What?
[Snipe] Computer: I think YOU need a medical examination to see if you're fit, sir.
[Snipe] Eve: He who is easily controlled is easily a danger.
[Garland] For what? I'm fine.
[Snipe] Computer: Hardly, sir.
[Garland] Then what makes you say such things?
[Snipe] Computer: I'll send you the Earth's condention and your credit accounts.  It'll be on your data pad
* Ripple glances to Spirit
[Dias] I hate to say it but I guess what really kept us together on Earth was DeathSTar...but we don't have him anymore...
[Ripple] I know of one thing I'll fight to the death to protect.
[Garland] .....where's your happy disposition today?
* Spirit hugs Ripple
[Snipe] Computer:  Gone as I watch Snipe become a druggie.
[Booster] In that case, practically everyone on the station is a danger because you can twist them all if you want.
* Snipe turns around
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] [Awww... It's a kodak moment...]
[Snipe] Yeah, if we fight for one another, we would be united.
[Snipe] But ...  one of us shatters that.
[Garland] And I want the other information. That's an order.
[Snipe] Computer: Denied.  If you wish that information, you must get varification from either Snipe or Wiendigo.
* Ripple returns the hug, then smirks, 1"[Shove it where the sun dont shine Stil.]
[Silverblade] UH...It used to be so much easier......
[Ripple] And who might this be that shatters it?
[Garland] .oO(I can't see Snipe.. Wiendigo....)
* Garland taps his comm
[Garland] Comm: Wiendigo.
* Snipe looks back
[Snipe] I'll find our target.
[Snipe] I'll take us to that target
[Booster] But I'm curious, what motivates you to do so?
[Snipe] And we'll learn what we need to from it so we can defeat our enemy.
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] [*laughs*]
[Ripple] Elite Druin.  Knowlege is power.  A good motto.
[Snipe] Eve: I promised Grave I wouldn't do what I did again.  I did.  I can't be trusted, not even by myself.
[Snipe] We may not have DS, but if we work as a team instead of solo acts, I think we can do it.
[Wiendigo] Comm: *belches loudly*
* Dias nods
[Garland] Comm: Tell the [censored] computer to give the information I asked for.
[Booster] ...
[Silverblade] But is everyone here united around a common purpose?
[Wiendigo] Comm: What fucking information?
[Snipe] We all have our own reasons, I'm sure.
[Booster] Before I go, I want to know one more thing.
[Snipe] Eve: ... what?
[Ripple] No.  We have to give them something to fight for.
[Garland] Comm: Just tell it to give it to me.
[Booster] When you were acting on your own against us... why did you do it?
[Ripple] It was earth.
[Ripple] Not any longer.
[Silverblade] Computer one question......
[Snipe] Eve: The first time or the second time?  *chuckles*

[Gravedigger] NRP: Thanks
[Dias] So what do we do now?
[Ripple] NRP: *kicks connection*
[Snipe] Eve: The first time I was confused  at what happened to me.  I didn't know what to do.  I lashed out, trying to take control of things that seemed out of control for me.  The second time, Bimbo played on my emotions and I got angry so I lashed out.
[Snipe] I'll research for a intel base.
* Garland stands in the hallway, waiting on Wien's reply
[Dias] Aright
[Snipe] It'll probably take a week.  When I find it, we'll strike it and gain knowledge on Tsivrixsh activites in the area.
[Wiendigo] Comm: How about you tell me what information before I tell you to go screw.
[Silverblade] Where in hell is Hyperion? I need to find her.....
[Snipe] Computer: Is Hyperion on the station?
* Booster nods slowly...
[Silverblade] No...
[Snipe] Computer: Is it a planet?
[Snipe] Computer: Is it a ship?
* Ripple nods
[Silverblade] No...An individual...
[Ripple] Alright.  Find that info.
[Snipe] Computer: ... whoa.  I think that spans my capabilities.  But I can try.
[Spirit] You know *smiles* We should have a party before we go.
[Dias] Boost morale?
[Snipe] Computer: I do hack into the Tsiv. HoloNet now and again.  Though I get purged out.
[Garland] Comm: Shut up Wiendigo, I'm not in the mood for your morning sickness. I need  info  on Shretrav, the Star Raiders, and John's medical reports.
[Booster] I'll keep that in mind.  I may return with one last question sometime, if you want to make up for it all.
[Ripple] A party would kick ass
[Snipe] Eve: ...
[Ripple] We'll have to set one up
[Snipe] Eve: *rolls over on her side and curls up into a ball*
* Snipe has grown quiet, laying on the keyboard
[Dias] Snipe, what do you think about a party?
* Booster heads back for the duct, closing the grate behind him...
* Ripple pokes Snipe
[Dias] ....Snipe?
[Ripple] You ok?  
[Wiendigo] Comm: say Slease.
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] [You should drop Eve an inventation, she's probally bored down there...]
[Wiendigo] (please)
* Snipe doesn't respond
[Dias] Snipe?! *shakes him*
* Snipe is shaken
* Ripple pulls off a glove, seeing if he is still alive
[Ripple] Dont shake him man...
* Snipe is alive and pulse is fine
[Gravedigger] He's probably exhausted.
[Ripple] NRP: *kicks Snipe in the family jewels*
[Dias] I think he's asleep...
[Garland] Comm: Please. If you don't I'll rip out your voice box and force it to authorize it before I shove it up your... *stops himself*
[Dias] NRP: Snipe: *twitches*
* Snipe groans after a few moments and holds his head, sitting up
[Wiendigo] Comm: Ah ah ah, gettin' a little touchy, ain't we? Fine.
* Booster climbs through the ducts back the way he came, finally emerging and closing the grate behind him.
[Snipe] Anyway, I was saying....I was saying....
[Dias] You ok man?
[Ripple] You ok?  You gotta get some rest man..
[Wiendigo] Computer, give the bitching runt what he wants.
[Snipe] ...what?  *looks around*
[Ripple] Or else your brain is going to start making up stuff...
[Dias] you zonked out
[Snipe] I blacked out again?
* Snipe holds head
[Dias] Yes
[Snipe] Computer: I'll download the information to him
[Dias] Dude...you better see X2
[Garland] You heard him. *pulls out his data pad, watching*
[Snipe] I've been doing that since the head injuries.  X2 says it's due to the damage
[Ripple] Yes, go to the Medbay....  
[Dias] .....is it permenanet?
[Snipe] Probably.
[Dias] .....
[Spirit] Eep...
[Silverblade] Computer....Hyperion.....
* Booster ponders things for a minute, then heads to the medbay.
[Snipe] Computer: I'll take me a few weeks, Silverblade.
[Ripple] Screw this.  Dias, hold him down for a bit. *concentrates for a few seconds, opening a portal to the medbay*
* Garland looks over Snipe's report. first
[Wiendigo] And send him naked pictures of Slasher while you're at it.
[Snipe] Computer: *downloads all but John's medical file*
[Silverblade] You don't want to get testy with me computer......
[Ripple] Your going to the medbay if you like it or not.
[Snipe] computer: *sends him nakedp ictures of Slasher*
[Garland] Where is it?
[Snipe] Computer: That's X2's turf.  Talk to him.
[Garland] ...... *the screen cracks, though Garland does nothing*
* Garland walks into the medbay
[Garland] X2.
* Snipe looks at the warp
[Snipe] ...fine, I could use some more pain pills
* Snipe stands up and walks in
* Snipe appears beside X2
*** X2 has joined #taw
* Booster arrives in the medbay at about the same time as the others...
* Ripple closes it
* X2 screams
[Snipe] Yo, X---hey!
[Ripple] He's in rough shape that boy...
* Snipe grabs head tenderly
[X2] Don't sneak up on me like that!
[Snipe] I didn't, I warped in
* Booster smirks.  "Hm, seems I need to get in line."
* Garland looks at John, stepping back behind some equipment
* X2 loosk at everyone
[Garland] Oh my God.... 
[Silverblade] Fine could you locate Hyperion's ship?
[Snipe] They made me come because they think I haven't reported to you.  CAn I get a doctor's note saying that I've come here
[Snipe] Computer: That'll take a few weeks too, probably.
[Garland] I can't do it...
*** Gravedigger sets mode: +o X2
[X2] ...Will you pay up your bill?
[Snipe] Oh, and I need a refill on pain pills.
[Snipe] ...
[Snipe] I'll pay you next week!
* Ripple turns to Spirit
[Silverblade] Are you sure you can't do anything ina speedy manner???
[Ripple] You have anything you need to do?
[Snipe] Computer: Yup
* X2 looks at SB
[X2] Who's he?
[Snipe] NRP: SB is in the control room
[Spirit] Nothing I need done... *leans against Rip*
[X2] NRP: Wait, ish-Ah
* Booster sits down out of the way...
[Silverblade] Not even witha little bit of convincing.....
[Snipe] Anyway, I showed up.  *holds his head*
[X2] Pay me now, and you get your note.
[Snipe] Computer: Boy, I'm a simple station, I can't do miracles.
* Ripple smirks, and slips an arm around her
* Snipe throws him out all the gil he owns, around 2,400
* Dias sits in the computer room looking through files
* X2 catches it
[X2] There, was that so hard?
[Snipe] Pain pills and doctor's note.
[Ripple] Good. *smirks*
* X2 scribbles out a note. Illegiable as hell, of course, then refills Snipe's bottle
* X2 sudenly pulls it back
[X2] Waaaittt...
* Snipe reaches out for the bottle
[Snipe] Hey!
[X2] I gave you a full bottle yesterday!
[Snipe] ...my head really hurts...!
[Booster] You're hurting that badly?...
[X2] Of course it is! You're overdosing!
[Ripple] [Hey X2, keep him in there for observation.. he blacked out when he was up here..]
* Booster frowns...
[Snipe] NRP: X2 knows he blacks out, BTW
[Snipe] Bah!  Overdosing!?  GAh
[Snipe] Alright, keep the bottle.
* Snipe pockets his note
* X2 grabs Snipe and forces him to sit
[Snipe] ACk!
* Garland hunches forward, not feeling fit to stand confidently
[Ripple] NRP: did X2 know he was stealing those little mints from his door?
[Snipe] NRP: Shhh
[Ripple] NRP: oops..
* Silverblade heads to the brig
[X2] You're staying here the night for observation.
[Snipe] ....why?
[X2] So I can keep an eye on you and your dosage.
[Snipe] ...
[Snipe] Why not KEEP the pills and then you wouldn't have to WORRY
[Snipe] I can deal with the pain.
[Ripple] NRP: But not the loss of the mints...
[X2] Do you want me to knock you out? I'm a doctor, I can do that.
[Snipe] Pfft, look, X2, *looks at him seriously* I'm not overdosing.  If I was, I'm not going to do it now.
[Snipe] I black out, you told me yourself that's something I would have to live with.
* Dias searches through whatever on the computer
* Ripple picks up Spirit and goes to the loungish area (whatever the heck its called)
[X2] You ARE overdosing, and I'M putting a stop to that.
[Snipe] ...look, I don't need the pills, X2.
[Snipe] I'm not addicted to them.  I don't need them.
[Booster] Then why were you taking so many?
[X2] Yes, yes you do. Otherwise, you'd be blacked out 23 ours out of the day.
* Garland looks over his shoulder, saddened...
[Snipe] ...would you quit ... hey!
* Silverblade thinks about entering it and instead heads to medbay....
* Snipe stands up
[Snipe] Nice try, but you just made that up!
* X2 grabs Snipe by the arm
[X2] I will remove you from duty if need be.
[Snipe] Fine, remove me from duty.
[Snipe] Just let me go to be room.
* Spirit hugs Rip, humming the tune to the song she's writing.
[Silverblade] Hey Doc....i think I will need some help......
[X2] No, you're staying right here.
[Ripple] NRP: Gotta go.  Piles of homework, and more importantly, finals call.
[Booster] What?!
[Snipe] ...look, X2, you're reasons for holding me here are wrong.
[Snipe] Blacking out won't kill me.
[Silverblade] Fine ignore me.....
* X2 points at SB without looking at him
[Garland] NRP: Go go for the gold, msn.
[Snipe] If I'm in my room, I can't hurt myself.
[X2] You wait your turn...whoever you are...
[Snipe] If I'm not on duty, I'm not pushing myself too hard
[Snipe] If I don't have pills, I'm not overdosing.
[X2] No, but it CAN lead you to be killed.
[Ripple] NRP: Adios.  Hooda.  Wish me luck if I'm not around.
[Snipe] ...would you quit making crap up!?
[X2] NRP: Peace
[Ariel] NRP: C'ya
[Snipe] The virus is going to kill me before the black outs
[Snipe] NRP: Later
[X2] John, sit down.
[Silverblade] NRP:CYA
* Snipe sits down
* Garland sighs
[Snipe] God, I hate spending my time in here.
* X2 hands Snipe a coloring book
[Snipe] ...
[Silverblade] Computer who the hell do I goto for a psychological evaluation???
[Snipe] Computer: X2.
* Ripple warps in a cheeseburger when X2 isnt looking next to snipe
[Snipe] ...oh, yeah, like that'll make it up
[Silverblade] And if he's busy....
* Snipe grabs the burger
[X2] Now, Booster, I believe it is your turn.
[Snipe] Computer: ... uh.... Ariel?
* Snipe munches on it
* Snipe colors in his coloring book
[Booster] Who's going to deal with the situation at hand if Snipe's locked up here?
[Silverblade] Computer where is Ariel?
[X2] Computer: Do not allow Mr. McCormick here to leave without my authorization.
[Snipe] Computer: Control room
[Snipe] Computer: Rightyo.
[Ariel] What is it computer?
[X2] There's still Garland and Wiendigo.
[Snipe] Computer: Oh, nothing Ariel.
* Silverblade heads to the controll room....
*** Ripple has quit IRC (May we remember those who died in an engineering classroom because some JERK thought women were not cut out to be anything but housewives. Wear a white ribbon.)
* Snipe colors with the purple crayon
* X2 pats the med table
[Snipe] Gaah!
* Snipe holds head
[X2] Now, what can I do for you, Booster?
* X2 looks over at Snipe
* Silverblade approaches Ariel......
[X2] Headaches?
[Snipe] ...no, that would be the brain tumors.
* Snipe goes back to coloring.
[X2] You don't have brain tumors.
[Snipe] Says you.
[Silverblade] ...may I speak with you......
[X2] You're right, 'says me'.
[Ariel] Yes?
[Snipe] Ooo, ooo, monkey says, monkey does!
[Booster] Well, actually, I came to ask about someone else...
[X2] Who might that be?
* Dias sighs leaning back in his chair
[Snipe] Oh, look, Booster is stealing your needles.
* Garland sighs, grabbing a med-board, writing a note on the back of a sheet. "X2, I need Snipes' medical reports... Please. --Garland"
* X2 baps Snipe with his medical chart
* Snipe falls over dead
[X2] ...Good God, I killed the lad.
* Garland tosses is onto the nearest bed
[Garland] ------!?
[Booster] I think he's just playing dead, X2.
[Garland] No..... 
[Silverblade] WEll I seem to be in the need of a psychological evaluation and X2 is busy....the computer directed me to you...my mental state is well it has been degrading at an extreme rate since I arrived here...
* Garland teleports out
[X2] Maybe...
* X2 nudges Snipe with his foot
* Snipe knicks X2
* Snipe stands back up
[Ariel] Consider checking yourself into the brig?
[X2] OW!
* Snipe grabs his coloring book
[Snipe] I'm going off into the corner to read this
* Snipe walks off and sits on a box in the corner, coloring.
[Booster] ...Maybe you should get Snipe under control first, and we can talk later?
* X2 turns back to Booster
[Silverblade] No....I'm more a danger to myself...than others....
[X2] No, no, I'll deal with him later.
* Garland floats in space, suspending his datapad infront of him
[Ariel] Why do you think that?
[Snipe] Computer: Uh, X2?
[Garland] .oO(I don't care how strong I am... I'm almost killed John..... maybe scarred him for life.......)
* X2 sighs
[X2] Yes, computer?
[Snipe] Computer: As much as I love you and all...I have regretful news.
[X2] ...What is it?
[Snipe] Computer: Snipe just leaped into the airvents.
[Booster] What?!
[Silverblade] Since I've left.....Hyperion... my mind has increased it's rage level and with every day I feel more like going straight into enemy grounds...and bawsically undertaking any odds to kill someone...
[X2] ...*bangs his head agains the med table*
* Garland reads his data pad, shortly after he reads everything, he throws it towards the nearest star.
[Garland] ....
[X2] Increasing security measures around here, yes, yes indeed...
[Booster] I'll get him...
[Ariel] Who's Hyperion?
* Snipe hops out lands in the control room
[X2] No, I'll send for him later.
[Snipe] Hi guys.  *dusts himself off*
[Dias] Hi Snipe..
[Booster] Are you sure?  In his state?...
[Silverblade] The love of my life....the only light in the universe...
* Snipe sees he walked in on something
[X2] I'm quite sure. You don't disobey the ranking medical officer's word and get away with it.
[Garland] .oO(It's so cold out here.....)
* Snipe grabs his pencil and paper
[Snipe] Later guys
[Ariel] Um, hi Snipe
* Snipe hops into the airvent
[Ariel] Bye Snipe
[Dias] Bye Sni[e
* Snipe crawls off, banging
[Booster] If you're certain...
* Snipe hops back into the MedBay
* Snipe dusts himself off
* Snipe sits down and writes
[Booster] Anyway, I'm here to ask about Eve...
[Snipe] Computer: Uh, X2?
[X2] Ah, Eve, yes, I've been seen often these days about her...
* Booster blinks and looks over at Snipe...
* X2 waves his hand at Booster
[X2] I'll deal with him later.
* Snipe writes
[Snipe] Say, X2, when did I get some pain pills?
[Snipe] Seeing as I'm a crackpot now, I gotta keep up my image.
* Booster sighs...  "All right..."
[X2] Yesterday, now hush, John.
[Snipe] Cranky.
[Ariel] So... you've lost your loved one, and now you think you're going to go mad?
[X2] Now Booster, what about Eve?
* Snipe rolls chair over to X2
[Snipe] Ooo, are we talking about Eve?
[Silverblade] Well the pressure around here leads me to think so....
[Snipe] What's the latest gossip?
* Booster glances at Snipe.  "Little new."
[Dias] Computer....Do you think Snipe'll ever return to normal?
* Garland bursts into flames, flying away from the Origin
[Snipe] Computer: Mentally?
[Ariel] Did she die... or are you just seperated?
[Dias] Aye
[Snipe] Computer: If you ask me, his mind is the same as it always is.
[Snipe] Computer: Cheerfully insane.
* X2 sticks his foot agains tthe chair and shoves Snipe away
[Dias] Hah....go figure...
[Snipe] Eeek!
[Silverblade] We are seperated......for the first time since we met....
* Snipe rolls away
* Snipe rolls back
[Snipe] That was rude.
[X2] John, please allow me to attend to this in peace.
[Snipe] ...why?
* Booster turns back to X2.  "I'd like to know anything about her psychological condition that I might be allowed to see...  I find myself wondering if there's any hope for her."
[Ariel] Oh... that would be hard...
[Ariel] But look on the bright side... Your alive... She's alive... You'll get back together some day.
[X2] Sorry, I can't help you. There are only four officers on board that have clearance to psychological profiles of theose aboard.
* Garland stops flying out, now surrounded by nothing.
[Snipe] That's me!
[X2] ...Yes, John is one.
[Silverblade] .....if I survive...and if I can find her... I have no idea where she is and she could be anywhere.she operates over multiple galaxies....
[Snipe] What do you want to know, Booster?
[Garland] .oO(I wonder if Yeger ever spends time out here to think.....)
* Dias laughs at Silverblade
* X2 stares at Snipe
[Dias] ....your afraid of a lil rage?
[X2] You KNOW that's against policy!
[Snipe] ...so?  He wants to help her.
[Snipe] Is that a crime?
[Silverblade] Stay out of this !
[Dias] NRP: Yeger: *slams into Garland* HEY WATCH WhERE YA GOIN!
* X2 rests his head in his hand
[Dias] You haven't felt fury till you lived through what i went through.
[Ariel] Hey, you will find her.
[X2] Fine, well, what do I know, I'm just the 'chief medical officer', yes, I know nothing!
[Snipe] Hey, we're in agreement then.
* Booster winces.  "Snipe!"
[Snipe] Whaat?
* X2 grumbles angrily and walks over to some test tubes
* Booster sighs...  "Never mind..."
[Silverblade] And also I have been vastly worried about John....
* Snipe lokos at Booster
[Snipe] He knows I'm kidding him.
[Snipe] It's a game we play.  He tries to lock me up on medical reasons, I slam him down.
[Snipe] Though I can't believe he tricked me into paying him and then didn't release me!
* Booster just leaves the medbay, annoyed and downcast.
[Snipe] Hey, X2, we're alone now.
* X2 rests his hands on the counter.
[X2] John....
[Snipe] Simon....
[X2] You're suspended from your duties.
[Snipe] Gotcha!
[Snipe] Anything else?
[Garland] .oO(Hmph, I wish he were out here. I have a bit of rage to let off.)
* X2 turns to him
[X2] I'm serious.
[Snipe] I know you are.
[X2] No, I don't think you are.
* Snipe stansd up
[Snipe] X2, you may suspend me.  
[Snipe] It's in your power.
[Silverblade] and I have recently learned that my brother is coming this way.. He wants me dead....
[Snipe] Infact, history logs showed X1 taking Death Star off duty before.
[X2] You're suspended. Please confine yourself to your quarters.
[Snipe] You know what Death Star did in those history logs?
[X2] ...Not listen to a damn thing my father said?
[Snipe] He left the Hunters.
[Snipe] Went off on his own, accomplished his mission, and saved the day.
[Snipe] Toodles!
[Snipe] I always liked repeating history
[X2] You are not leaving the Hunters.
* Snipe walks out of the MedBay
[Snipe] .oO (I'll pack my bags up and snag a ride out.)
[X2] Comm: Security, please escort Snipe to his quarters, he has been suspended from his duties and is to be confined to his quarters.
* Booster returns to the orphanage, not in his usual high spirits...  . o O (Maybe the children will make me feel better...)
[Snipe] .oO (Then I can find out where that damn intel base is and get it back to Ariel)
* Snipe hears footsteps
[Snipe] Yuh oh, security!

[X2] If he doesn't die out there, I'll kill him myself.
