[GM] Computer: We changed locations.
[Dominator] Well, I was gonna bring you pizza, but it turns out the planet I tried to get it on had an... interesting idea of what pizza was...
[Slasher] So...you..didn't bring me anything?
[Garland] Yes.. yes... but it still bothers me.
[Dominator] *glances at the mechs* Something happen to them?
[GM] Computer: 100 sense?
[Cheryl] I just finished building this one.
[Garland] This IS a Tsiv station, I'm fairly sure they'd have taken some sort of measures about this sort of thing.
[Slasher] Uhh....yeah...we had a teeny weeny problem...but we solved it.
* Cheryl smiles proudly, gesturing to a knight like mech.
[GM] Computer: Strange.
[Shadow_Hunter] Work, work, work! *fiddles with some of the wires*
[Dominator] Hey, you're welcome to any of the pizza I got... It's actually kind of tasty once you get used to it... Anyway... Where's Garland?

[Garion] NRP:alright my form is sent,I shall watch for awhile!
[Wiendigo] Where the hell did all are the bastiches today?
[Garland] NRP: No, I'm just gesturing to the hanger, I'm in the control room.
* Ariel gets bored and plays... solitare.
[SOUND]
[Slasher] Well I'm gonna get back to work on a prototype I came up with..*walks over to his table where a huge sheet covers something*
[GM] Computer: There it is again.
[Ariel] What's that computer?
[Garland] What is it, Chip?
[Cheryl] Want help?
[Slasher] Sure, a womans touch just might be what it needs
[GM] Computer: I keep catching a slight flicker of space.
[Wiendigo] You gave that thing a name?
[Dominator] Hmm... *tries to remember his way around the station*
* Cheryl grins
[Shadow_Hunter] Computer run test...
[Dominator] I'm heading up to the control room...
* Garland turns in DS's chair to Wien
[GM] Computer: Run test on what, Shadow?
[Garland] Yes, he seems to want to be acknowleged as a person... so...
[Garland] Try to get something on screen, Chip,.
* Slasher sits down on his chair and uncovers part of the prototype and opens the compartment
[Wiendigo] So? It AIN'T a person, you friggin' hardass.
[Shadow_Hunter] The main aliment...the one i`m working on now...
[GM] Computer: *pops up some space on the screen, nothing there*
* Cheryl looks over Slasher's shoulder
[GM] Computer: Scanning...it seems to be aligned fine, sir.
[Dominator] Sometime, I'll have to think about getting a mech... *heads up to the control room*
[Shadow_Hunter] Thank you Computer
[Garland] Switch monitoring spectrums.
[GM] Computer: No, wait, watch, I got it right.

[GM] Space: *distorts briefly*
* Garland presses the master comm button
* Slasher grabs a laser welder and slowly welds to wires together
* Wiendigo flips Gar off
[Garland] "Everyone, report to the control room. We have a possible situation."

[Slasher] NRP: *in the corner of the mech bay, a candle blows out*
[Ariel] That was fast Dom.
[GM] Computer: Picking up an energy signal too.  Very faint.  Give me a few minutes to tell what it is.
* Garland nods to Dom
* Shadow_Hunter climbs out of the insides of the mech "One part fixed...who knows how much more to go..."
[Dominator] I was already on my way up... *turns to Garland* Problem?
[Slasher] NRP: *thought he didn't have command...unless it was denied*
[Garland] Take your time, I don't want a false alarm.
[Dominator] How far is the energy signal from the station?
[GM] Computer: 2,000 meters
[Wiendigo] Greeeeaaattt...First the bootlicker shows up, now there's a fuckin' situation.
[SOUND]
[Garland] We don't need comments right now, Wiendigo.
[GM] Computer: Energy signal rising...wait, I know what it is!
[Garland] What is it?
[Wiendigo] WEll, you're going to get one. Eat me, eat me raw.
* Slasher places his glasses on and zaps a wire in the prototype causing a huge spark to fly out
[Dominator] Nice to see you again too, Wiendigo
[GM] Computer: A probe.  It's a Tsivrixsh probe!
[Slasher] WOH!
[Dominator] Great...
[Ariel] Hmm... Should we shoot it?
[GM] Computer: Chances of Origin scoring a direct hit on something small like that is low.
[Garland] I knew it... They're still tracking us....
[Dominator] Unless we can hide ourselves from it sensors, there's no choice but to destroy or disable it....
[GM] Computer: What we need is mechs and the mechs bay is closed down.
[Dominator] We could launch fighters or mechs to take it out in that case then
[Wiendigo] Launch an automated piloted shuttle.
* Shadow_Hunter climbs out of the insides of the mech "Computer do a surfis scan to see if there are any cracks in the meck"
[Garland] I suggest we capture it. If we blow it up they'll know something is wrong.
* Slasher pulls his finger back and blows on it
*** Garion has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
[GM] Computer: *scanning...no cracks detected*
[Slasher] Stinkin law of conductivity!!
[Dominator] That's what I was thinking Garland. If we can just disable it, they might think it just malfunctioned... Computer, what's the weaponry like on a Tsivrixsh probe?
[GM] Probe: *decloaks and begins to run away*
[Shadow_Hunter] Thank you again computer "i think thats it.."
[GM] Computer: Very, very light.
[Garland] Damnit.....

* Isolator flies up and catches it, crushing it between his hands
[Isolator] Comm: And you're out!
[Garland] Comm: Yes, X2... That's John...
[Dominator] Snipe, huh? Nice to see that some of the mechs are still operational...
[Slasher] Comm: I WANNA RECOUNT!
[Dominator] Recount? Huh?
[Slasher] NRP: Hmmm...
[X2] Comm: *can be heard knocking things over and swearing as he runs out of the MedBay*
[CPanther] NRP: That was Dias
[SOUND]

[Dominator] Two probes...

* Shadow_Hunter climbs into his meck... runsing a systems check to see if anything else needs fixing...
[Garland] .....Comm: ....John, you shouldn't have run off like that in your condition.

[CPanther] Comm: He winds up.....and the swing! *swings his scythe again*
[Isolator] Comm: With friends, I can handle it.  *can be heard talking to Silverblade* Silverblade says hi.

* Isolator turns to face Origin
[CPanther] Comm: Like hell I'm landing if that cooks down' there.
* Garland looks at everyone
* Isolator is smoking from the extreme speed it has endured for days
[Isolator] Comm: I have news for you.
* CPanther floats over to the Isolator

[Slasher] Nothing
[Ariel] Comm: Good first.
* CPanther follows next to the Isolator
[Garland] Comm: Makes the bad news seem less bad.
* Isolator flies into the hanger of the Tsiv. Battleship that was stolen, Horizon
[Wiendigo] Comm: Just spill it already, McCormick.
[Shadow_Hunter] Need any help?
* CPanther flies right into the Horizon behind Snipe
[Slasher] Help on what?
[Isolator] Comm: I got the location of a Intel Base that we must attack immediately.  We get the data, we'll know the strength of the Tsivrixsh in this area, their bases, the paths the ships use, etc.
[Isolator] Comm: We nab this data, we can finally start hitting back at them.
[Ariel] Comm: Great!  What's the bad?

[Garland] Take care X2.

[Snipe] Wrong, Garland.
[Ariel] I got it.

[Dias] Don't you listen Garland? Where' headin to the intel base.
* Snipe hands Ariel the paper of the location

[Wiendigo] Today is a good day to die. *lets out a puff of smoke*
[Garland] *mutters* Yeah, thanks for answering me.
* Kiki stares at the back of Booster's head and purrs
[Dominator] Computer, what's our ETA?
* Siawase eyes Kiki
* Garland moves up to the helm, looking over Ariel's shoulder
[Snipe] Uh, you have to check that yourself, Dom.
[Snipe] Again, does anyone know who all is with us?
* Garland looks at John
[Wiendigo] Who all do we have? A bunch of crybaby asses who're gonna get their testicles handed to them on a silver platter.
[Snipe] ...I'd like a headcount.
[Siawase] And then we have everyone else other than Wien.
[Siawase] NRP: Oops
[Dominator] Oh... *checks it manually*
[Garland] If you'd turn around... Ariel, Booster, Dias, Dominator, Siawase... Wiendigo...
[Kiki] *chirp*
[Dias] Never say that to Wien Snipe, he might actually do that.
* Booster glares at Wiendigo for a second before turning back to Snipe.  "I was just about to suggest that."
[Snipe] Ripple: *Stands there* And me.
* Gravedigger stiffles a laugh
* Dominator heads over to the weapons console if no one's there

[Garland] NRP: Note, no one's told John or Dias why he's been disagreeable.
[Spirit] [[6Stiletto]] [Come on... it was just a simple qestion...]
* Kiki chirps again
[Gravedigger] NRP: Don't quite recall...
* Dias picks Snipe up and sets him in a chair
* Booster 's ears shift around a bit.  "Er, who?"
[Dias] If you got any questions about our mission ask me until Snipe wakesu p.

[GM] Huh?  Oh, I'm fine.  I just blacked out.  Thanks for worrying though, Andrea.
[Shadow_Hunter] Ok then..any good tips for the new person?
[GM] NRP: Snipe said that..
[Dominator] All right... Let's plan this assault out. *checks to see what data they have the the intel base and its defenses*
* Slasher sparks fly from his worktable
[GM] NRP: Now I got the curse.
* Kiki smiles and chirps contentedly
[Dias] NRP: And I'm free!

[Dominator] No data... Great. Know anything about the base, Snipe?
[Snipe] NRP: Pteryx is bored so she's talking to herself
[Spirit] It's... oh, never mind...
[Snipe] Sorry.  We were attacked before I could get too much.
[Kiki] NRP: ACtually Pteryx can now understand Kiki
[Shadow_Hunter] Well Garland?
* Garland looks at SH
[Garland] Don't die.
* Snipe looks at Spirit quizzically.
[Dominator] We can assume it'll have at least some protection from mechs or starfighters... How many mechs do we have operational?
[Shadow_Hunter] Thats a good one..
[Snipe] Comm: Slasher
[Wiendigo] Don't listen to him, kid.
[Snipe] Comm: How many mechs do we have operational?
[Slasher] Comm: Yes?
* Wiendigo pats SH on the shoulder
[Wiendigo] Do every foolhearted thing you can do. If it looks dangerou,s run in without looking first.
* Garland looks at Wien
[Wiendigo] Trust me on this.

[Kiki] *chirp*
* Siawase looks at Booster like he's insane...
[Garland] D'ahh.... nevermind...  *doesn't bother agrueing with Wien*
[Shadow_Hunter] I see.. that may work..
* Wiendigo doubles over, laughing his head off
[Snipe] NRP: Wiendigo: Run ahead of us.  SH: *runs ahead and is blown up*
[Slasher] Comm: Ummm....Send Cheryl, Hermes and any otehr mechanic down and we'll run to see which ones are operational.
[Wiendigo] GOD that was funny! You actually believe me! What an idiot! I had you going, and you would've!
[Snipe] Comm: Right.
[Dominator] What I propose is that we use mechs and/or fighters to engage the base's fighter and mech defense, while the Horizon attacks the intel base from long-range. Once the mechs and fighters are ready, they can join in on disabling the base. We can then board the intel base to get information from it
* Booster nods to Kiki...
* Garland blinks
[Kiki] *chirp*
[Snipe] Iceheart: *walks in, shaking her head* Wien...
[Garland] He was humoring you, Wiendigo.
[Cheryl] NRP: Cheryl: Take the elevator up a floor. SH: Gets in the elevator and... need I say?
* Garland turns back to the window
* Shadow_Hunter nods..
[Wiendigo] Yeah, don't you wish.
* Booster turns to Dom.  "What about those without mechs?"
[Garland] Not really.
[Slasher] That's my cue...I'll meet you guys in the mech bay *runs down towards it*
* Gravedigger leans next to Snipe
* Snipe rubs his chin
[Gravedigger] Sooooo, what's the plan?
[Dominator] Well, it really depends on how strong the base is and how many support craft it has...
[Dominator] Thoughts on my plan, Snipe?
[Slasher] Comm: Cheryl, I'm gonna need your grease monkey skills down in the mechbay ASAP
[Snipe] Well, since we have no fighters, we left those On Origin, we'll use the mechs.
[Snipe] As for the long-range thing, when's the last time this thing has been tuned up?
[Cheryl] Comm: On my way.
[Viper] PsiComm] [[ Does this have anything to do with that package, Slasher? ]]
* Cheryl heads to the bay
[Snipe] Horizon: *makes a grinding sound briefly*
[Snipe] ...that answers that...
* Shadow_Hunter looks at Snipe..
[Dominator] ... Great.
[Slasher] Hermes, start runnin diagnostics on the Isolator, the Crimson Panther, The AoD, Ariels mech, Shooting Star.
* Booster shakes his head...
[Dominator] How big was the intel base, Snipe?
[GM] Hermes: Aye aye!
[Slasher] And any others I missed.
* Dias comes runnin into the mech bay
*** Alicia has joined #TAw
[Viper] PsiComm] [[ Slasher? ]]
[Snipe] Size of Origin almost.  It's defenses are nothing.  We just got to take out the mechs.
[Slasher] Don't worry about it.
[Dias] Dias, start workin on your mech and then on the AoD
[Dias] NRP: That was Slasher
[SOUND]
* Snipe hears a beeping sound

* Cheryl starts running diagnostics, starting with Ariel's mech.
[Wiendigo] Let's blow some shit up!
[GM] Isolator: *looks pretty beat up*
* Booster sighs and lies down.  "I guess I'm forced to sit this one out for the moment..."
[Snipe] ....great idea, Wiendigo.
[Dominator] All righ then. We should send out all available mechs then, and use the Horizon's laser batteries and turbolasers to pick off other mechs. Disabling the station would be a good idea too, since we don't want reinforcements showing up any time soon
[Snipe] Why not leap into hyperspace and blow up?
* Kiki flutters off Booster's shoulder and down to the mech bay
[Wiendigo] Even better!
[Booster] ?
[Garland] Sera: *enters the bridge*
* Booster follows Kiki...
* Garland looks at her
[Garland] Sera?
[Dias] NRP: Thought she stayed on the Origin
[Dominator] With luck, most of the Tsivrixsh ships around this area are headed to the Origin's old location...
[Garland] Sera: *smiles* What'er you doing locked up here?
* Dominator checks their ETA again
* Dias leaps out of his mech and drops to the ground and runs to the AoD
[Cheryl] Okay, this one's fine. *checks ShootingStar*
[Shadow_Hunter] So Snipe what do you want me to do..?
[Garland] We're going to drop from hyper space in less than 10 minutes... shou should get back to your mech...
* Kiki flutters into the mech bay and looks around at the bustle
* Booster enters right afterwards...
[GM] NRP: Everyone...you didn't see Sera
[GM] NRP: Uh...Sera is Elayne!
[Dominator] Comm: Slasher, how're those mechs coming?
[Garland] NRP: I'm just not even paying attention right now.....
[Dias] ....Here goes nothing...*grabs some tools and leaps onto the right wing of the AoD and cuts it off, it falling to the ground with a big thud*
* Kiki flutters over to Slasher and chirps
[Shadow_Hunter] Snipe?
[Cheryl] Hmm... seems okay...
[GM] Hermes: *"fixeS" things*
[Slasher] Comm: like Clockwork *starts workin on the Isolator doing what he can*
[Snipe] Huh?
* Snipe looks at SH
[Snipe] Yes?
[Gravedigger] NRP: ...I kinda NEED the AoD operational these two sessions, Slasher...
[Booster] Slasher, what are those of us without mechs supposed to do?
[Shadow_Hunter] What should i do..?
[Garland] Elly (not Sera......): Dad, don't worry when we get into the fight okay....?
[Snipe] You fly a mech?
[Shadow_Hunter] Ok..
* Dias seals the area where the wing used to be.
[Dominator] Whoever's flying a mech better get down to the docking bay
[Snipe] Go get your mech ready.
[Garland] Elly.... Just.... just go to your mech, we're about to go...
[Snipe] NRP: ...
[Shadow_Hunter] Yes i do...
[Snipe] NRP: Elly isn't fighting!
[Snipe] NRP: *falls over*
[Dias] Good...*slides over to the right arm and starts repairing what wires he can*
[Shadow_Hunter] I just got to turn it on..
[Garland] NRP: Son of a fucking bitch...
* Booster sighs.  "I don't think he's listening to us..."
[GM] NRP: Hey!  My mom is not a fucking bitch
[Kiki] *chirp*
[Garland] NRP: .... GM told me 'in the heat of battle' I assumed that was a mech.
[GM] NRP: Horizon will be in the heat of battle too!
[Shadow_Hunter] Any good tips from you Snipe?
[Snipe] Me?
[Garland] Elly: *stops at the door* Wait  a sec... I'm not fighting in this battle....
[Shadow_Hunter] Yes you..
* Garland holds his head
[Snipe] Don't try to be hero.  Rely on your teammates.  And keep your head low.  Do what you know you can, not what you can't.
[Garland] Yes, yes, of course....
* Slasher connects a power recharger to the hook-up on the Isolator and then crawls into the cockpit where he works on repairing it*
