* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20051104.log'
<Warren`> Stardate: 10-581.11.12
<Warren`> Location: PAX Station
* Warren` sits at his work station, talking on the phone with some Janus offical. He seems annoyed.
* Slasher sits in his room, before his duty starts, filing through his datapad, several books lay neetly on his desk.
* Katrina` is in her office, doing nothing.
* Seraphna smiles in triumph, hacing finally gotten the shuttle back into working order, even replaced the voice AI with a new version, one that might piss off Warren less.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *is in her room, reading quietly for now*
* Warren` hangs up the phone, leaning back to muse darkly.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator is in the diplomat office, preparing them for their next assignment
* Ariel sits quietly in the security center, reading over a datapad
<Ariel> NRP: Scratch that
* Ariel doesn't sit quietly in the security station. She's on her way to Venerator's office.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator glances up when Ariel arrives.
<Ariel> "Do you have a minute, sir?"
* Seraphna finishes her work and goes to shower
<Warren`> <Venerator> Of course, of course. Have a seat.
* Warren` taps his fingers, then opens up the files on the man they arrest a while back for the cloaking device.
* Slasher tosses his datapad to the side and sits there, closing his eyes
* Warren` updates his file to "Deceased", then closes it, leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes
* Ariel passes Venerator a datapad, "I have finished my report on the unusual events."
<Warren`> 6* Venerator takes the datapad, glancing at the report.
* Slasher throws his feet over the side of his bed as he rubs his head.
<Warren`> <Venerator> This is very thorough, as always.
* Seraphna closes her eyes in the shower, she falls into deep thought for a few minutes before shaking her head, turning off the water
<Ariel> "I approached the situation from every angle that I could concieve of. Unfortunately, my results are less than impressive."
* Slasher stansd up, eyeing his clock.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Still, you're making headway. Recently, Captain Carmichael re-opened the investigation about the cloaking device himself.
* Red_Fox wanders the corridors, heading towards the cafeteria
* Ariel nods, seeming a little relieved, "Then I hope he has made more progress on the matter, than I have."
* Ariel pauses, "I believe my results are less than conclussive."
<Warren`> <Venerator> This entire thing does have an air of conspiracy about it. I'll provide whatever information I can learn, also, to you.
* Seraphna dries off and gets into something casual before heading for Vennie's office
<Ariel> "I find myself compelled to admit sir. I was reluctant to support my current findings to you."
<Warren`> What's that?
<Warren`> NRP: Ven
<Warren`> NRP: Why's, too
<Ariel> "It is my personal belief, that the sum of these findings point to an incorrect conclussion."
<Ariel> "But it is not my place to be making this decision."
<Warren`> <Venerator> Clearly, the evidence is overwhelming in favor of it being him. However... 6He leans back. "I find that the most likely solution is not always the one you should accept. We both know that. His... involvement in this is purely professional. While I can offer no substainial proof of that, I assure you know, it's unlikely to be him. Plus he knows that you know, now. He has those files marked in the event they were viewed
* Ariel nods, "I am glad that you understand my posistion on this."
<Warren`> <Venerator> It would be well if he could make peace with the past. If all of us could. 6He sighs, glancing at the wall where there's a photo of him and Cran from the war a decade ago
<Ariel> "......"
* Seraphna finally reaches Vennie's office
<Warren`> <Venerator> I've been meaning to bring this up, but someone has been making inquieries into the explosion during the --- 6He stops when he sees Sera. He smiles pleasantly.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Serena.
* Ariel turns to glance at Sera
* Seraphna smiles, "Hi Vennie!" ^^
<Seraphna> "Oh... and hi Ari!" *smiles*
* Red_Fox decides to head over to The office herself
* Slasher stands up, walking into his bathroom to change
<Warren`> NRP: *they all have a party in Ven's office*
* Warren` sits alone in the security room
<Warren`> <Venerator> What can I do for you?
* Slasher steps out of his room moments earlier in uniform and begins to head to the security room.
<Seraphna> "I wanted to suggest from now on I have an hours notice to check out the shuttles before we go anywhere."
<Warren`> NRP: Earlier? HE TRAVELED THROUGH TIME
<Slasher> NRP: Yes...He's that good.
<Seraphna> "If that trick had gone off in space we'd all be dead."
* Red_Fox heads up to Venerator's office
<Warren`> <Venerator> That's a fair enough request. I'll make sure it's done. 6He glances at Fox. "Hello, Stella. What can I do for you?"
<Ariel> "......"
<Slasher> NRP: Ven: You did have an hours worth..In fact it was known a day prior that we we're going...
<Red_Fox> "I was going to ask if anything had been found out about the saboteur, but it looks like there's already something going on."
<Warren`> <Venerator> As of now, we have no solid leads.
* Slasher steps inside the security room and moves over to his desk and logs on.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator glances over at his phone when it rings. He glances up. "Will you all excuse me for a moment?"
<Warren`> 6* Slasher would see that his file has been updated on the man who stole the cloak. It seems he's been killed while trying to escape custody.
<Seraphna> "Sure thing..." *steps out of the room*
* Slasher reads through it, then continues to go through his normal room.
* Ariel stands, salutes Venerator, and departs.
* Red_Fox steps outside
<Warren`> 6* Suspense music plays.
* Warren` taps his fingers.
<Ariel> NRP: <Ariel> ...where is that music coming from?
<Warren`> 6* Venerator opens the door and glances at them
* Ariel is still standing at attention
<Warren`> <Venerator> I just received word that a rebel force has taken over the government on Telarius and wants to open with an alliance with us. It's a planet that the Earth military has wanted for years. We have to move now and help secure the new government to power.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Prepare to move out.
* Ariel nods
<Warren`> NRP: Okay, prepare for a scene/time jump
<Warren`> Stardate: 13 hours later
<Warren`> Location: Shuttle in ship hanger, orbint the planet of Telarius
* Warren` sits in the pilot's seat, running a complete system's check.
* Seraphna has gone over the ship witha fine toothed comb
* Katrina` sits in the middle of the shuttle, reading her datapad about the planet and how the government that was in place was a ruthless dictatorship
* Red_Fox sits to one side, ready
<Warren`> <Venerator> The military will be arriving here once we set up an offical diplomacy with the rebel insurgents. We have to ensure we get it set up before the old government military manages to take control back.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *sits quietly at the back, also reading her datapad for information on the planet*
* Slasher sits in the shuttle, checking over his newly replaced modified plasma pistol and his modified sniper rifle.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Ours will secure the planet once the treaty is signed.
<Red_Fox> Sounds good.
<Warren`> We're heading out. 6He closes the ramp and lifts the shuttle up, taking it out on manual. He flies from the ship, carefully and awkwardly turning it around to fly at the planet.
<Slasher> Are we supposed to hold restraint in killing hostiles?
<Warren`> <Venerator> Our orders is anything necessary.
<Warren`> NRP: are
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> Another warzone... *sighs* I'm ready.
<Warren`> ... 6He glances at Ariel out of the corner of his eyes.
* Slasher places his pistol in it's holster and finishes checking his final check on hsi rifle.
<Warren`> NRP: *They sign the treaty with no problem. The world is saveD*
<Red_Fox> NRP: LOL
* Ariel speaks absently, "I am prepared to follow orders as nessisary."
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle enters the atmosphere and begins to fly over a jungle of trees toward where the city is located.
<Warren`> ... 6Suddenly the alarms begin to off. Katrina looks around in disbelief, as if she can't believe another error has occurred.
<Warren`> ... we have a missile lock.
<Slasher> Everyone hold on. *his hand reaches upto a handle bar and he holds on tight.
<Seraphna> ...I beat the spread?
* Warren` tries to turn on the shields in time, but suddenly the shuttle is hit and everything is ruptured hard. The shuttle begins to crack and break.
<Katrina`> Not again.
* Warren` hangs onto the shuttle controls as hard as he can as the shuttle begins to spin out of control.
<Seraphna> ...This is the saddest part of my job... all that work...
* Ariel braces herself
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle slams into part of the trees, ripping the shuttle in half, causing Seraphna, Slasher, Peacemaker, Fox, Katrina, and Venerator to fall out
<Red_Fox> Not again...
* Katrina` yells out in pain as she falls with the shuttle pieces into the trees.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *winces, checking herself for breaks, then stands*
* Warren` levels the shuttle out again, struggling to maintain the shuttle as it continues onward.
<Warren`> 6* Another missile flies at the shuttle.
* Slasher is thrown out and he slams into several branches, finalyl catching himself as he hangs from a final branch.
* Warren` unbuckles himself, leaping from the seat. He turns to Ariel
<Warren`> We'll have to jump.
* Seraphna finds herself on a branch, watching the shuttle.
* Katrina` lays on the ground, blood runining down her forehead.
* Warren` leaps from the shuttle
* Slasher drops to the ground, looking around for anyone else.
* Ariel nods and follows Warren quickly
<Katrina`> 6* The shuttle pieces are scattered about where the others fell
<Warren`> 6* The rest of the shuttle explodes.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *checks on Katrina*
* Seraphna spots some of the others and climbs down, heading for them
* Katrina` is unconscious.
* Red_Fox stands cautiously
<Warren`> 6* The air is hot and humid, and it's obviously jungle like.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Is everyone alright?
* Slasher rushes over to Katrina, looking down at her. 1"What's her condition?"
* Seraphna catches up to the others, looking pretty unscathed
* Slasher begins looking around, his rifle instantly pulled out and in the ready.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *checks Kat for breakages* Not sure yet, but she's hurt, anyway.
<Warren`> 6* A shriek echoes in the jungle. Something's hungry.
<Slasher> Make it quick. *his rifles quickly goes up to his shoulder and he aims over towards the general direction of the noise*
* Red_Fox looks over in that direction too
<Warren`> <Venerator> We need to reach the rebel insurgents so we can get our military here.
<Red_Fox> You have a location?
<Warren`> <Venerator> None that would do us good in the jungle. We need to contact our ship and get another shuttle sent.
<Seraphna> "It'd probably just get shot down too..."
<Warren`> 6* Something moves in the bushes near Slasher and Fox.
<Warren`> <Venerator> She has a point.
* Slasher quickly spins towards the movement a red dot appearing on the bush.
* Red_Fox likewise aims
<Slasher> Everyone watch yourselves.
<Warren`> 6* A cute little furry animal about the size of a kitten flops out. It mews.
* Slasher trains the red dot onto it, not letting his guard down.
<Seraphna> NRP: KNOW THE EVIL I HAVE SPAWNED AND KNOW IT WELL!
<Warren`> NRP: *Slasher senses it must be the TAW Sera. He shoots it to death*
<Slasher> Peacemaker, can Katrina be moved?
* Katrina` groans, having a concussion
* Red_Fox says sarcastically. "Uhh... this would be where we drop our guard, and the REAL threat eats us..."
<Warren`> 6* The thing rolls around, playing with a bug.
<Seraphna> "It's pretty cute..."
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> Usually, I'd say that it wouldn't be a good idea, but in this case...
<Warren`> 6* It pounces the bug, then lets it go.
<Slasher> We were heading that, *he points* way before the shuttle was shot down. I suggest we keep on moving.
* Seraphna kneels down to look at it carefully, "He little one..."
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> Lets try to get somewhere safe.
<Slasher> General Venerator and Lt. Peacemaker, you to help Katrina. Red Fox, I want you in the back. Sera you're behind me.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator kneels down, nodding to Peacemaker as he helps lift Katrina.
<Warren`> 6* The little thing paws at Sera.
<Slasher> Lt. Red Fox, keep your guard up, this type of area will no doubt hold booby traps, plus I don't want us to get ambushed.
<Red_Fox> Right. Sera, leave the wildlife alone.. we don't have time for the cute, harmless ones, and the other kind, I don't want to see.
<Slasher> NRP: Hmm...Where the Wild Things Are by Metallica just started playing...Eery eh?
<Red_Fox> NRP: Yeah, kinda
<Slasher> Let's get moving, Diplomats, if gun fires starts going down you go down and stay down.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *nods*
* Seraphna looks up disspointed, and gives the thing a pat on the head, "Oh well... off you go."
* Slasher starts walking, his eyes wandering around as he proceeds.
<Warren`> 6* It follows Sera.
* Seraphna looks back at it, smiling, "Aww, think I've gained a little pet..."
* Slasher steps over a downed log, rolling off it's other side as he sweeps his gun.
<Warren`> 6* As they wander, they come across what would appear to be a wide river .... of green slime.
<Red_Fox> ... great...
* Slasher kneels down beside it, he reaches into a side opuch pulling out his datapad and he begins to scan it.
<Warren`> 6* It comes up listing it as extremely toxic to the touch.
* Slasher stands upright. 1We're gonna have to find another way across it...
* Slasher he looks down both ways of the river, using the scope on his rifle to give him more distance.
<Warren`> 6* The river goes on as far as he can see.
* Seraphna looks down at the little creature again and giggles
* Slasher looks around for a huge tree.
<Warren`> 6* It paws at Sera.
<Warren`> 6* There is indeed an old, old tree that is extremely large by the river.
* Seraphna smiles and carefully picks it up
<Warren`> 6* It mews, pawing at her hair.
<Warren`> 6* Fox can hear something slithering behind the group.
* Slasher reaches over pulling out a small sapling, he then dips the end into the river.
<Warren`> 6* The sapling seems to be immune
<Slasher> Anyone carry a Plasma Blade?
* Seraphna giggles and pets the creature, "It's so adorable."
* Slasher pauses then walks over to Katrina, patting her down.
* Katrina` has an energy sword hilt on her.
<Warren`> 6* The animal playfully gnaws on her hair.
* Slasher grabs the energy sword hilt and walks over to the old tree, he ignites the blade with one hand and begins to press it against the lowest point on the trunk.
<Warren`> 6* The tree is sliced into easily. While Slasher is working, a huge snake like creature rushes at Fox from behind.
<Slasher> Alright guys, I'm gonna cut this tree down. I don't know if this old tree can resist the acidic river but you guys are gonna have to make it across as quickly as possible.
* Red_Fox spins and shoots the snake
<Warren`> 6* It hisses and falls over.
<Slasher> NRP: BRB
<Slasher> NRP: Back
* Slasher presses onto it, pushing over half-way through now.
<Warren`> 6* The snake twitches.
* Slasher steps 3/4ths the way through and turns the blade off, he quickly flips it into an empty holster and he spins around towards the back of the tree and plants his hands against it, pushing with all his might
<Warren`> 6* The tree groans, then falls over, smashing into the green gunk, splashing it. It seems to be steady
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> Okay, lets go.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Agreed. 6He helps Peacemaker carry Katrina across.
<Slasher> Get Katrina over first.
<Slasher> Red Fox take her across.
* Seraphna holds the cute creature, looking at the trunk and the green gunk
* Red_Fox does so
* Slasher stands at the river's edge his rifle at a half cocked position as he waits for everone else to cross.
* Seraphna crosses as soon as she's able
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *heads across, of course*
<Warren`> 6* The snake gets up and suddenly rushes Slasher, trying to slam into him
<Red_Fox> NRP: Though, I'm not sure WHO has Katrina now
* Slasher rolls to the side, his hand pulling the energy sword out and igniting it, he slashes at the snake aiming to cleave it in half.
<Warren`> 6* The snake is cut in half.
* Slasher looks down at the snake. 1"Vennie, Peace Maker, Seraphna go quickly.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator goes across
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *helps carry Katrina over*
<Slasher> NRP: Man did I zone out there...
* Slasher steps onto the log and quickly begins to run across.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Yeah, I zoned out a little back, though
<Warren`> NRP: I'm zoned out now.
Session Close: Sat Nov 05 00:00:00 2005

<Warren`> 6* As Seraphna goes across, the tree begins to sink into the gunk, shaking her balance.
<Seraphna> NRP: Dude... smoking this Catgon really zoned me...
* Slasher slides slightly as it begins to sink. 1"Shit, SERA MOVE NOW!"
* Seraphna slows and steadies herself, whimpers, moving carefully
<Warren`> 6* The animal mews in fear.
* Slasher quickly begins to catch up onto Sera
<Warren`> <Venerator> Serena. Keep moving toward us.
* Seraphna moves steadily across, doing her best to stay balanced
* Slasher swings his rifle over his head letting it rest back there. 1"Move it move it..."
<Warren`> 6* Sera makes it to the other side, right as the tree splits down the middle and begins to fall into the gunk
* Seraphna hugs the cute thing tight and shakes a bit
<Warren`> 6* Venerator gives her an encouraging look. "You did good, Serena."
* Slasher legs split apart as he slides across the tree edges.
* Slasher shifts his entire body onto one of the edges and he quickly sprints along it, taking huge strides.
* Slasher plants his foot and leaps with all his might as the rest of his half goes under.
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #taw
<Seraphna> "Th-THanks..."
<Red_Fox> Lets keep moving
* Slasher reaches the rivers bank, rolling along it upto the others.
* Slasher stands up, dusting himself off.
* Seraphna pets and holds the cute thing
* Slasher eyes Seraphna, his eyes narrowing.
<Slasher> Let's continue movign
<Warren`> <Venerator> ... We're losing too much time. It could take us another day to reach the city going through the jungle.
* Katrina` opens her eyes, groaning.
<Slasher> 3
<Slasher> NRP: Hah!
<Red_Fox> NRP: 3 whole days?
<Slasher> And we can't just stay here. We need to keep moving General. *he says it with spite*
<Warren`> 6* General Venerator eyes Slasher almost intuitatively.
<Red_Fox> It can't be helped.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *says that*
* Slasher walks past him taking the lead again, he pauses, eyeing the jungle wilderness. 1"This way."
* Slasher he starts walking.
* Seraphna follows
<Warren`> <Venerator> ... 6He pauses, then glances around the woods, as if he's thinking
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> What's up?
* Slasher stops, pulling his gun back off his back.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Something's not right.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> It does seem strange..
<Warren`> 6* Movement in the trees.
* Seraphna holds the little one and looks about worriedly
* Slasher slides up against the back of a tree and squats, his rifle quicklying moving into firing position and his eye on his scope. 1"Everyone take cover"
* Red_Fox watches the trees
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *takes cover*
<Warren`> 6* An alien fires at Slasher with an energy weapon
* Katrina` struggles to get up
* Slasher spins around the tree, ducking and then leaning out firing back at the direction the shot came from.
<Warren`> 6* The alien bounces away from it. Venerator grabs his gun and shoots it in the back.
<Warren`> 6* However, three more aliens are appearing around them
* Slasher leands back out firing a shot at a branch above one of the aliens and then dropping his aim down and firing another shot aiming for the same aliens shoulder.
* Red_Fox takes aim at one of the three, and fires
<Warren`> 6* Venerator aims at the third alien. The three of them mow down their enemies
<Warren`> 6* The little thing mews.
<Katrina`> Wha...wwhat happened? My head is killing me.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator lowers his guard, perking his ears
* Seraphna watches ina bit of confusion, holding the thing, she fumbles for her gun
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> We crashed... now we're in a jungle, hours from anywhere at least
<Warren`> I hear missiles being launched.
* Slasher looks up into the sky.
<Warren`> 6* A shuttle can be seen flying overhead, avoiding missiles.
* Katrina` glances up, dazed.
<Red_Fox> Is that one of ours?
<Xanatos`Durran> Nrp; bang, pow. ZIP!.
* Slasher eyes Venerator for a second then up at the shuttle.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Yes. It's our's.
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle is out of sight now.
* Slasher rests his left foot up on a log as he thinks.
<Slasher> It's too late to try and signal them...We should keep moving then.
<Warren`> <Venerator> The shuttle can actually trace our signal.
<Warren`> <Venerator> But it could be dangerous for it to come back for us.
<Slasher> Well then General Venerator, what do you suggest we do?
<Warren`> <Venerator> Call the shuttle. Find out the situation.
<Slasher> My comm was smashed when I hit a tree branch on the way down.
<Red_Fox> Maybe they can pick us up. I can only hope
* Red_Fox checks hers
<Warren`> 6* Fox's is operational.
<Red_Fox> Mine works
<Warren`> <Venerator> Contact the shuttle, find out the situation and fi they want to come back for us.
* Red_Fox nods, then comms the shuttle
<Xanatos`Durran> *Comm* Joe's pool hall.
* Katrina` stands up slowly, wincing. She glances at Slasher.
<Warren`> 6* The tiny creature rubs on Sera's neck.
* Seraphna pets it softly, "Gods you're a cutie."
<Red_Fox> *comm* Is that your shuttle's name?
* Slasher stands there his left leg up on a downed trunk, blood can be seen starting to appear on his right shoulder but he continues to look out inte the jungle.
<Warren`> 6* Movement to Slasher's right
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: No, I just wanted to see how long it would take you to realize I was joking. 15 seconds, your getting sloppy. Anyway, I have your locations but the missles are pretty hot there. You think you are in enough condition to come my way?
<Red_Fox> *comm* We're stuck in the jungle, but we can trek over. One wounded though.
* Slasher spins around his rifle trained on the movement, he looks through his scope scanning the bush
<Warren`> 6* A huge tiger like creature, possibily a bigger version of Sera's pet, is stalking them
<Red_Fox> *comm* How are things on your end?
<Slasher> I think we've got Sera's damned pet's mother...
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: You need a pick up or not? Could be worse. Warren is wounded.
<Red_Fox> *comm* If you can.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: If I can. We'll see. *he chuckles*
* Katrina` holds her head in pain, eyeing the direction Slasher is looking
<Katrina`> I sense hunger.
<Red_Fox> *comm* Great. We'll be waiting.. as long as the wildlife doesn't get more restless.
* Slasher keeps his rifle trained on the tigeresque creature.
<Red_Fox> *comm* A snake and one... cat.. thing... have tried to eat us so far.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm crackles: Thats great, be on high alert, and keep chatter to a minimum. Fill me in when i get there.
* Seraphna looks at the little thing, then back at the bigger thing
<Warren`> 6* It's claws slide out and it eyes them, keeping it's distance for now.
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle appears above them
<Red_Fox> Nice timing
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: It is too thick, I can't even get close.
<Slasher> Get Katrina and the General in first.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *nods*
<Slasher> Ask him if he can see a clearing anywhere
<Seraphna> "Issat your mommy little guy?"
<Warren`> 6* The crew gnaws on Sera's hair contently.
<Seraphna> "I'll take that as a no then."
<Warren`> NRP: Crew. LOL. It's the ATLANS!
<Warren`> 6* A rope and latch lowers, slamming into Slasher's head.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: We're lowering a rope by the way.
* Slasher growls as it slams into his head
<Warren`> <Venerator> Alright, Katrina, you first.
* Katrina` nods, grabbing the rope.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: Tug the rope whenever you are ready.
* Katrina` tugs.
<Warren`> 6* The white little cat like animal goes to sleep on Sera.
<Warren`> <Venerator> ... I think we have trouble. 6Notes more of the white tiger like animals are gathering, eyeing them like chicken.
<Red_Fox> Non-combatants first?
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: What was that? I heard venerator mention something. Did he say trouble?
<Red_Fox> *comm* Yeah, the cat creature's not alone.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: You all are surrounded, my sensors are goind crazy. I suggest you take to the trees or something. You better do it fast too.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: The next lightest person needs to grab on with Katrina.
<Red_Fox> *comm* Right... hope that works.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: and you better be quick.
<Red_Fox> Someone! Grab hold!
<Warren`> 6* Movement begins to close in on the group.
* Seraphna grabs hold?
* Katrina` wraps an arm around Sera to help support her.
* Katrina` tugs harder.
* Slasher backs himself up against a tree and reaches up, grabbing onto a branch, he quickly pulls himself up onto it.
* Red_Fox climbs a tree
<Warren`> 6* The rope yanks Sera and Kat out of sight.
* Slasher reaches his hand down for Venerator to grab onto.
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *gets ready for the next.. if there's going to be one*
<Slasher> General, gvie me your hand.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator grabs hs hand and uses his help to pull up.
<Warren`> 6* Sera and Kat see Ariel at the rope controls, Warren sitting in a seat, and Xanatos in his seat.
<Slasher> Pack hunters...This won't bode well if we can't get out of here soon.
<Warren`> <Venerator> If we can reach the top of the tree, we might be able to jump to the ramp.
* Ariel helps the two into the shuttle, and then sends the rope down again
* Xanatos`Durran smiles warmly at the two. "Good to see you but hurry up and..." He sees the Cat thing in Seraphna's arms. "Ok, sorry but you have to get rid of that."
<Slasher> Everyone start climbing to the top.
<Seraphna> "Why? It's cute."
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *starts climbing*
* Slasher tosses his rifle across his back and pulls out his pistol
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Warren. "Why do you think you were being surrounded?'
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: To Sera.
<Seraphna> "Half the stuff out there was trying to eat us..."
<Warren`> 6* They reach the top --- right as the tigers begin to climb the trees.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator swings onto the ramp, grunting with age.
<Slasher> *squats and leaps up, grabbing onto the next branch above him, he flips around it and stands on it as he fires several shots at the tree below him infront of the tigers
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *jumps onto the ramp shortly after Ven*
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, and notices everyone getting close enough to jump in. "Help those that aren't as agile."
* Slasher makes his way to the top of the tree and balances on the branch as it sways, firing several shots below him.
<Warren`> 6* The tigers die and fall back
* Red_Fox takes a potshot at a tiger, then jumps onto the ramp
<Slasher> Red Fox go.
* Slasher squats then leaps backwards and up onto the ramp.
* Warren` sits in the co-pilot seat, entering coordinates
<Warren`> We need to go there to sign a treaty. But I fear you'll be dodging a lot of missiles.
<Xanatos`Durran> Nothing I can't handle. I hope. Hey, is everyone in?
<Warren`> NRP: Xanatos gets to play ... THE GAMe
<Katrina`> Yes. 6She lays back in her seat.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRp: As shit no. I suck at this game.
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP; ah*
<Warren`> NRP: Yes.... THE GAME
* Seraphna pets the cute thing in her arms
<Warren`> <Venerator> ... 6He closes the ramp, glancing at Ariel. "I see you and Warren managed to stay in one piece.
* Slasher slides inside and grabs something off his side, he hands a hilt to Kat. 1"Thanks"
* Xanatos`Durran closes the ramp. "Everyone take a seat and buckle in.'
* Katrina` takes it
<Katrina`> No problem, I guess.
<Ariel> With some complications, sir.
<Warren`> <Venerator> Serious ones?
<Slasher> You should get it balanced once.
* Warren` buckles in, looking forward
<Warren`> Alright, we need to go as fast as you can
* Xanatos`Durran begins to move for the coordinates that were given, he tries to lay low to avoid most missle range.
* Slasher sits down beside Katrina, buckling himself in
<Slasher> How ya feeling Lt. Katrina?
<Warren`> 6* As they begin to fly along, two missiles fly at them. One from the left, one straight ahead.
<Katrina`> Like I have a hangover
* Xanatos`Durran moves to the right, and then up to avoid the missles, then he would move back down to position.
<Warren`> 6* Suddenly ten missiles fly at them. One from the left, one straight, one right, one left, one right, one straight, one left, one left, one left, one straight
* Xanatos`Durran moves right, up, left, right, left, down, right, right, right, and then up.
* Xanatos`Durran moves back down to position.
<Warren`> 6* Suddenly ..... 1000000 missiles
* Slasher moves his right arm, his face for the first time showing pain.
<Warren`> NRP: Just kidding
<Xanatos`Durran> nRp: I would die.
<Seraphna> NRP: Correct Order: Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B, and then Start <.<
<Warren`> 6* Suddenly, a huge missiles flies straight at them
* Xanatos`Durran pulls hard right, trying to avoid this very big missle.
<Warren`> 6* It turns around and begins to follow them. Up ahead is the meeting point.
<Xanatos`Durran> It is a heat seeker...*keeps his speed up, checking to see how close the missle comes closer to him*
* Slasher grunts and then places his pistol in it's holster.
<Ariel> NRP: Failed! Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, (Optional: Select) Start.
<Katrina`> You're hurting, too, I see.
<Ariel> ...everyone hold on. *opens the side hatch*
<Warren`> 6* It is catching up slowly.
<Xanatos`Durran> Ariel. I can avoid it. Leave this to me.
* Slasher eyes Xanatos then Ariel.
<Warren`> NRP: Xanatos: *I* must be the HERO
<Slasher> Ariel, shoot it down...
* Ariel holds one hand out, "You have 15 seconds to shake it."
<Slasher> If it loses us, it'll lock onto something else. And we are getting close tot he meeting area.
<Warren`> 6* The missile is 10 seconds from impact now.
<Xanatos`Durran> Do what you need to. You miss, and I got it covered.
<Warren`> 6* 9
<Warren`> 6* 8
<Warren`> 6* 7
<Warren`> 6* 6
<Warren`> 6* 5
<Warren`> 6* 4
<Warren`> 6* 3
<Warren`> 6* 2
* Xanatos`Durran banks left and slams the brakes, allowing it to fly by.
* Ariel gets a tight grip on the shuttle, then leans out, careful to fire over the wing, then shoots as fast as she can at her target
* Xanatos`Durran would then aim and try to shoot it down with lasers.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Well shit. I'm sorry I was worried. ;(
<Warren`> 6* The missiles explodes, rocking the shuttle.
<Ariel> NRP: He gave me a count down! I had to wait until 1!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol.
<Slasher> NRP: This is true.
* Red_Fox winces
* Seraphna holds onto her kitty ;.;
* Katrina` holds onto her head.
* Xanatos`Durran never did that stuff cause Ariel did the super tense shooting stuff. He just keeps it under control.
<Warren`> 6* The area is clear. They can land now and sign the treaty.
* Xanatos`Durran brings it around and lands. Keeping check of all systems.
<Warren`> NRP: And the session is mainly over. I'll do a time jump back to the station 12 hours later so you can all have down time
<Warren`> Stardate: The next day
<Warren`> Location: PAX Statin
<Warren`> 6* The mission, a complete success, is over and the team returns home to the station
* Warren` changes topic to 'The Alien Wars Trilogy has finally ended. It began in Nov. 1997 and TAW3 ended on April 5th, 2005 | http://thealienwars.tripod.com/ | Carry on my wayward son | PAX - http://thealienwars.tripod.com/PAX/ | (Current Weekly Schedule for Main Sessions) Monday - 7 EST and Friday - 8 EST | 9 of 12 completed'
* Xanatos`Durran whistles lowly as he brings the shuttle in for a landing.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Wow, that took a while. :P
<Ariel> NRP: I think that was the return landing =P
* Slasher is now known as Slash-er-Asleep
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: It was.
* Katrina` heads off to sleep her head pain off.
* Warren` walks off the shuttle, his hands wrapped up. He walks away from the shuttle. Venerator stands off to the side.
* Xanatos`Durran steps up to Venerator. "Venerator, sir."
<Warren`> <Venerator> Yes? 6He turns to Durran, smiling.
* Ariel steps off the shuttle as well, then pauses, "Captain, if I may have a word with you."
* Seraphna hugs the little kitty
* Warren` pauses, glancing at Ariel.
<Xanatos`Durran> May I make a suggestion?
<Warren`> Of course.
<Warren`> <Venerator> About what?
<Xanatos`Durran> Could I suggest looking for a backup pilot? Anyone with proper training wouldn't have been shot down by those missles. At least give me someone to train. Incase I can't make it on a mission.
<Warren`> <Venerator> If we can find someone, I will most certainly look into it.
* Ariel walks over to Warren, and stops, "I am sure you are aware of the situation, but I wish to appologise for intruding into your personal files."
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "Good enough for me, sir."
<Warren`> You are looking for answers. It is ... wise for someone to look into every option available.
<Warren`> 6* The cat like animal gnaws on Sera's hair
* Xanatos`Durran attempts to move away, he trots back to his shuttle and begins to make sure there are no damages from th recoil of the explosion.
* Red_Fox steps up to Venerator shortly after. "Sir?"
<Ariel> "That was a mere formality of my investigation sir. One I now believe to have been unnessisary."
<Warren`> <Venerator> Yes?
<Warren`> You don't think it was me?
<Red_Fox> I couldn't help noticing... is it okay for Sera to keep a strange animal as a pet?
* Ariel pauses, "Personally, sir?"
* Ariel shakes her head, "I do not believe you are that sort of person."
<Warren`> 6* Venerator eyes the small creature. "We should deal with it before it grows to full size..."
<Ariel> "The other question was... unrelated to the investigation as well."
<Warren`> We all have secrets to keep. I can respect that ... Ariel. 6He tells her slowly.
* Ariel bows her head, "I hope my report will in no way inconvience you in the future, sir."
<Warren`> I'll deal with it when the time comes. I have a folder for you on your desk, involving the death of the man we thought was sneaking around and causing trouble. It details his death after trying to escape Janus custody.
<Warren`> I figure it might be ... helpful to you in the future.
* Ariel pauses, then nods, "Thank you, sir."
* Warren` nods, turning around and continuing his walk out of the hanger.
<Warren`> 6* Venerator eyes the creature, as if trying to decide what to do with it.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs at all the sulfer stains, then looks around. Wondering what he should do.
* Seraphna is hugging it happily, nuzzling the little thing
<Warren`> <Venerator> I'll let you deal with it, Fox. 6He pats Fox on the shoulder and walks off.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and walks over to Sera. "Did you happen to get those gifts I left for you for your birthday. I forgot to ask if I had the right room.
<Xanatos`Durran> "
<Red_Fox> ... great, thanks...
<Seraphna> "Oh yes! Thanks a lot Xan!" ^^
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles. "No problem, I figured they could give you some more ideas in mechanics. By the way, you know that eventually that cat-thing will get to big for this ship right?
<Seraphna> "Oh... if it grows too big I could probably see with Daddy if he could be sent home..."
<Red_Fox> "What are you going to do about feeding it?"
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Yeah, you are probably right." Rubs the back of his head and glances around. "Well i'm going to go lay down, I didn't do much but Warren caught me in the middle of a nap."
<Seraphna> "I'll secure some meat with my funds..."
<Seraphna> "Oh, okay Xan." ^^
<Seraphna> "Have sweet dreams." ^^
<Seraphna> "Oh!" *kisses his cheek* "Thanks for the presents again."
<Xanatos`Durran> You're welcome to join me anytime darlin'. *chuckles as he walks away8
* Seraphna blushes
<Warren`> Session Ends
