Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20060609.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.1
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* A giant meeting hall has been transformed magically. Low lighting, tables set up with good food
<DeathStar> and wine glasses, and the only people invited at the core security unit, the diplomats, and their aides.
<DeathStar> All dressed formally, the air is somber, a little sad. Walking up to the front, Darien Starr looks out
<DeathStar> them all, gripping the sides of podium as he looks at all those gathered.
<DeathStar> NRP: Ah hell
<DeathStar> <Darien Starr> Moments. Our lives are comprised of moments like these where we have no choice but to pause a moment and reflect. Earth has an old saying about the end of the year being a time to reflect and make resolutions for a new year. We're suppose to find something to change about ourselves for the better. We make our flaws into strengths. The reality is rarely achieved, yet the ideal is powerful.
<DeathStar> <Darien Starr> PAX was built on an idea. An idea that peace could be achieved with other worlds with a gesture of peace. I was never a diplomat, and I deal in lies and secrets as I look for the truth, so this was always lost on me. I never really considered the gravity of such an idea. Peace through reaching out toward another. For me, that idea is foreign.
<DeathStar> <Darien Starr> Yet, here we all are - gathered under the idea that we can change the world for the better. That we can make a difference. The world tells us the reality of these ideals can never be achieved. But I believe as long as you believe in an idea, all you have to do is work toward it, even if it's individually or in a group.
<DeathStar> <Darien Starr> Here is to PAX. 6He lifts up a wine glass. "And to everything it once stood for."
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.11.26
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> -4 days earlier-
<Red_Fox> -+
<DeathStar> 6* With the announcement of the news President, General Alexander Cran, it seems the Earth political climate is changing - and not because of General Cran. With the General back in his mansion with his own medical staff, and no word on his condition being released, it would appear that his vice-president, Wendell Hodges, is now leading the new government.
<DeathStar> 6* However, either way, this appears to be a lose-lose situation for PAX, and a meeting has been scheduled with all the primary member races in the conference room
* Xanatos`Durran is now known as `Kane
* `Kane has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #taw
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ah shit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits at a conference table. He is well-shaven and clean cut again, as he normally is presented. Outside the respected member race seats, holovid channels have been opened with the remaining members of PAX who have not pulled out.
* Arhn enters the conference room...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *sits in her chair, wearing for once in her entire time here, a business suit, while it compliments her form, it's still a business suit.
<Seraphna> *Ceres is gone, having left for a new job, access to the information on her new job was deemed classified, she left quietly late the other night.
* Ariel sits quietly, still dressed in uniform. She seems as serious and unreadible as ever, despite the climate of the current situation.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in the security room, eyeing the monitors in silence as he thinks.
<DeathStar> 6* King Red sits down in his seat, cupping his hands together, looking serious for the first time in his life.
* Xanatos`Durran sits at his desk, arms are crossed and he seems to be focused on staring at nothing. He is apparenttly thinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clears his throats. "It would appear we are all gathered."
* `Cole is actually in the security office for once, he is at his desk, arms crossed as he is reading somthing on his console.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in the training room, turning her torward a punching bag. She pokes it, letting it swing back and forth.
* Arhn nods as she sits.
<DeathStar> <Darien> My government has met to speak about renewing the PAX organization for another year already. It would voted against continuing PAX across the board. This means PAX is offically closing down at the end of next month."
* Cassandra_Arakawa in the armory, getting outfitted as though she were going into a war...
<DeathStar> (was)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly. "The Erusian government will be compensated for all money put into the PAX project in regards to the station."
<`Cole> Interesting. *he murmurs, uncrossing his arms, propping himself up to on is elbows as hee leans forward to read momr.*
<Kio> 2He had been busy over the past few days, retrieving certain items..talking to certain people. He leans against his desk lightly, letting his eyes flicker toward the dim lights. 14"So this is it eh.."
* Ariel nods slowly, her expression guarded.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So this is nothing more than a funeral meeting.
<DeathStar> 6* There is murmurs going throughout the various ambassadors on the holovid, though none appear surprised. Some even appear glad they don't have to be the ones that are quitting
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. We will be conducting various finishing touches on pending treatries, so it's asked that all ambassadors remain on the station at least a few more weeks, but frankly, Earth is already recalling the crew running this station away. If you feel that you do not wish to stay and finish whatever pending negotations are in progress, Earth will understand and abide by your decision
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...Kio...we are on alert. *voice issues from the armory* He made this personal.
* Kio glances over at Cassandra. 14"I know..I'm ready if he ever comes.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Adam arrives with his goon squad! :E!!! Find the lights off and nobody home..a tumbleweed rolls across the hangar
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
* Red_Fox readies herself, also in the armory
* Xanatos`Durran glances over casually. He is quiet for a bit, "Yeah, we'll get them."
<Red_Fox> "I'm ready..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> His personal goal is one of two things. Kill me or make me join him.
<Chad`Winters> I would like to annouce a pending deal to the other members of PAX.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Chad is in the armory?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says nothing as Shiva speaks, letting her say what she wants. As far as he's concerned, PAX isn't over until the end of the year.
<`Cole> NRP: That was Shiva. Of course.
<DeathStar> NRP: You should realize that Shiva IS Chad.
<Red_Fox> NRP: *laughs*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Curses
<Arhn> NRP: The Cartel are shapechangers.
<Kio> 14"You know..he might have been yanking your chain..just to make everyone all paranoid.."
* `Cole glances around at everyone, "Get who? Wo are we talking about?"
<Red_Fox> "Guess you didn't get the memo."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> As I said, this is personal.
<`Cole> I believe I keep to myself in the observation deck. Anyone mind telling me?
* Xanatos`Durran arches his brow as hhe glants at Cole and just shakes his head. "First Fox...then you...everyone is losing it."
<Kio> 14"Adam guy..psycho cyborg guy"
<Red_Fox> "As long as he's not a cyborg ninja, we should be fine.. just be careful."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Stands up* While the actions of Earth have been selfish, the idea behind PAX was an excellent idea. The fact that we were able to forge so many alliances together proves just that. I propse that at the end of the year, those willing to continue on with this ideal, stay and create a new alliance to further our safety and well-beings.
<`Cole> Psycho Cyborg Guy.....not much diffrent from the crazies on our staff. *he notes blunty*
* Arhn just nods slightly.
<DeathStar> <King Red> I'm afraid I'll have to decline. This whole thing has been a distaste in my mouth. Any pending treaties can just be canceled. 6He slides his chair back, heading for the exit. "I got honeys to find."
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Warren. "Looking for him?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Is that all this was ever for King Red? To find 'honeys'? I'm sure the planet you reing over are truely proud of the man you've become.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Who?
<DeathStar> 6* King Red just gives a mock bow as he steps out.
<Seraphna> *The Vapaad have begun to move, Kieran's guardian, Talon, is wandering the halls of the station, as if looking for something
<DeathStar> 6* The other member races begin to make similiar responses, minus the honey comment, and 5/6th of them wink out their holovids.
<Xanatos`Durran> The crazy guy? *he notes Warren in front of the montor*
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "Good because that would mean you've gotten rusty. He'll definitely be coming in a stealth suit. All those assassins do."
<Red_Fox> "Great... so he really is a cyborg ninja."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm.
<Red_Fox> "Or at least, close enough."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yes...pretty much. But so am I. *steps out of the armory, all suited up*
<`Cole> Shame we don't have a spacepirate to take him down. *he mumurs in his reading*
<Red_Fox> "I'm just a ninja."
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis punches the punching bag, knocking it off it's chains and onto the floor.
<Kio> 14"Too many ninjas.."
<Red_Fox> "You've been watching too many holovids, Kio."
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm just a man.....with one eye......and rock hard abs.
<Red_Fox> "In any case, hiding in a stealth suit is easier than finding someone in one. Be careful."
<Kio> 14"Actually I havn't watched a single holovid since I got here..been too busy drinking"
<DeathStar> <Ambassador> I'm afraid, Emissary Shiva, that we are no longer interested in any more alliances. However, we will sign any pending treatries left. 6The last bit leave.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Turns looking at the others leaving.
* Xanatos`Durran stands and moves toward the door. "Hopefully he'll knock me out so I can sleep through all this madness." He muses, stepping out in the hall.
* `Cole glances up again. "I bet he'll be the first one to go down." He notes humerously.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks at Arhn, who apparently would rather remain quiet during this than try to help*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks across the table at Arhn and Shiva. "Well, it was a nice try." 6He admits.
<Arhn> Words will not sway them at this point. Action is what is needed.
<Kio> 14"Possibly..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Runs her hand through her hair* Well when you've been lied to them from the beginning....
<Red_Fox> "Anyway, if I know assassin operating procedures, he'll either try to locate Cass, and head there, or strike at the security room first."
<Arhn> Indeed. Words carries lies, that is why they will not listen.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Action? And what action could you possiblely take at this point?
<Kio> NRP: Nuke Japan
<Red_Fox> "If you're going to take down the entire station, cutting off the security systems is almost vital."
* Xanatos`Durran steps down the hallway, he passe by the training room and spots Erevis, he stops and leans against the doorway. Not saying a word.
<Arhn> We shall proceed with the plan we discussed, even if it is only we two for now.
<Red_Fox> "... or cutting off the life support..."
<Red_Fox> "Damn."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Crap, BRB
* Ariel speaks up absently, "So what is this plan you have discussed?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> It has been 4 days since he told you he was attacking. And in this entire time, you've all been concerning yourselves each and every day with some attack.
<Kio> 14"I think everyone needs to relax..being jittery..won't help any"
<DeathStar> <Warren> There is no attack coming right now. PAX is simply ending. There IS no need to attack.
<DeathStar> <Warren> One merely has to wait until you're reassigned to take you, Arakawa.
<Kio> 14"So Warren..what will you do?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *plops down into her seat, her hand moving upto her head*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will wait for the end. And then decide what action I will take afterward.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> That may be true, but in the meantime, threats to the station have been made and operating protocol requires us to stay on our toes.
<Red_Fox> "Well... it's not like I could rebuild PAX. It takes more than shattered ideals to do that..."
<Red_Fox> "I'd hunt down Venerator, but... how?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Everything gone....because of one planet's greedy need.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel, seeing they are not going to be told. He stands up, excuses himself, and leaves the room.
<Arhn> A galaxy-wide conflict must be avoided at all costs, Shiva. We must do what we can.
<Arhn> Now then...Ariel...please listen.
* Xanatos`Durran finally steps in, "You know, did that once. But I was doing a jump kick....so I fell completely on my ass, I think I even fractured that ass bone.
<Xanatos`Durran> "
<Kio> 14"Haha..screw venerator I say..there places to be explored..battles to be fought.."
<Kio> *there's*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you are too weak.
<`Cole> I'd like to view the universe's musical culture. *he nods*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. 6He turns and exits the security room, having enough of the conspiracy
<Arhn> Ariel, our plan goes a step beyond what PAX was designed to achieve.
* Red_Fox sighs. "When the Ridarium attacked... I lost hope... I basically joined the military as some pathetic attempt to lash out at them... and then Venerator came along, with his false ideals..."
<Kio> 14"You should go to Erusia sometime then.."
<`Cole> Thats sounds interesting.
<Xanatos`Durran> Or...well maybe. *he rubs the back of his head* But I did kick it down, so maybe my rump is just weaker than my leg?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You fell in the first place.
<Red_Fox> "I joined PAX because... it was hope. Something better than mindless rage and bitterness... and to find out that it was all a lie..."
* Red_Fox sighs
<Kio> 14"I'll probably head back..apparantly I got a job offer, figured I'd see who would like to go with me"
<Red_Fox> "I'm back where I started, angry at the world..."
<Xanatos`Durran> But only because it fell first.
<Red_Fox> "What's the offer?"
<`Cole> I thought you were exiled for you crimes against the Tsivrixsh?
<Kio> 14"Apparantly they love the hell outta me and want me back"
<Red_Fox> "You're joining the Tsiv?!"
<Arhn> The goal is simple...a stepping stone to an actual unified political entity.
<`Cole> nRP: Fox is out ther.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks at him oddly.
* `Cole eyes Fox oddly. "Crimes AGAINST the Tsiv...."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Ahh, yes
<Kio> 14"...No, I'm going to be assigned temporarily to the Erusian military once more..apparantly there is alot of..Civil issues that require my hand"
<Ariel> "That... is quite the ambitious goal."
<Red_Fox> "Oh.. that makes more sense, yeah."
<`Cole> Class problems still? I heard about it a while ago.
<Red_Fox> "I'm almost thinking of becoming a merc..."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "There is that face again.'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What... about my face?
<Kio> 14"If you have no real goal, you should come with me also..."
<Xanatos`Durran> The emotion your face is showing. I confuse the hell out of you.
<Red_Fox> "I'd try to set up a colony for everyone tired of the political bullshit, if I had any chance of success."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6She looks blank again.
<Arhn> A stepping stone. This will not happen over night.
<Red_Fox> "Right now... I want to get back at Venerator, and Cran, and maybe Spade too... but I don't really have any way to do so."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'll probably be reassigned somewhere...who knows.
<`Cole> Colonies cost a pretty coin.
<Red_Fox> "Mercenary work first, then, heh?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> No, it's one that takes time and trust.
<Kio> 14"That's the problem with you guys..you have no ambition..no plants.."
<Kio> *plans*
<`Cole> I'm going to travel the galaxy! *he laughs at Kio, making a fake attempt to sound excited for hihm.*
<Red_Fox> "Working in Erus sounds good... except... whatever this origin thing is, I can't let Venerator have it. Or Cran."
* Kio grins. 14"Beats being clueless"
<Xanatos`Durran> So. PAX only has a few months left.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 34 days.
<Xanatos`Durran> So a little over a month. *he nods* What ever will you do?
<Ariel> "I believe prehaps it would be a venture worth looking into for my people, if the fates are favorable."
<Kio> 14"Origin will be hard to find fox..he's going to need to span out to more then just Earth to find it"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been given job offers. 6She notes.
<Red_Fox> "If PAX goes down... if the alliance goes down... there's not much for me to do other than take my bitterness out and try to make some money."
<Arhn> Where there wre once borders, there is free trade. Where there was once a technological race, there is cooperation and sharing. Where there were once fleets facing each other across borders, there will be a single unified force that will defend the peace, not enforce it.
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh? What sort?
<Arhn> We would welcome you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Counseling offers.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "And?"
<Red_Fox> "And... I want vengeance at the man who used me as a pawn."
<Red_Fox> NRP: On the man
* `Cole glances at Fox. "Vengeance is useless, you gain nothing from it in the end."
<Kio> 14"Stop stop stop...You've said that like a billion times! It's getting repetetive!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what?
<Red_Fox> NRP: Was that to me or Cole?
<Red_Fox> "Well, excuse me for feeling betrayed."
<Kio> NRP: To Fox
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Vengeance turns you into someone like Adam. *spoken as she checks her gun*
<Red_Fox> "..."
<`Cole> We were all betrayed. You don't see us freaking out over it? Hell, I respect the man for his smarts.
<Red_Fox> *to Cass* "This is justified." *to Cole* "Well, yeah, I'm moody."
<`Cole> Ouch...it really that time?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Adam thinks he is justified too.
<Red_Fox> "I didn't see you revering him as some kind of saint, though..."
<Ariel> "I..." *pauses* "I will speak with the others. And once the current situation is resolved, we can see how it is that we might contribute."
<DeathStar> Session Pause
<DeathStar> Time to jump forward
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.1
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station. Evening
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: You worried me there for a second.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Yeah, me too.
<DeathStar> 6* Six days have passed. Most of the crew has been gutted and removed from the station and now a skeleton crew is left. Shuttles, weapons, gears, and all sorts of equipment is now removed and gone. The station has been stripped bare. In order of what PAX use to mean, Darien has prepared a formal dinner in a meeting hall for everyone to celebrate together one last time before the final weeks of PAX begin
<DeathStar> (in order to celebrate what)
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Everyone> Exactly.
<DeathStar> NRP: This is 4 days later, thank you to those who corrected me
<DeathStar> 6* The station lightning is low, as most power has been reduced. However, it seems they're wasting as much power as ever according to guages that no one watches anymore. Darien adjusts his tuxedo, stepping into the meeting hall.
* Arhn has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Red_Fox steps into the meeting hall shortly after, in her kimono, looking mournful
* Cassandra_Arakawa has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *steps into the meeting hall, an eloguent dress on.
* Akane`Tendou has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks into the meeting hall, wearing a white tuxedo, to match Erusian colors. He glances around, his face not clean shave today, but not a full grown beard.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is in the hanger still, ignoring the dinner. There's hardly any equipment left, and barely any shuttles left, but she keeps trying to run Chad's programs. Sadly, most of his computers, and crew, have been taken
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Akane`Tendou is now known as Cassandra_Arakawa
* Kio steps in, wearing his black tuxedo. He looked bitter, trying to rack his brain on what was being celebrated.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Son of a...
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor mops the floors quietly.
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the meeting hall, wearing a green dress and having her hair done up in a pony tail for once, a hairstyle she has not used and one Kat used often
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the meeting hall clad in a suit, his hair pulled back to make him look respectful.
* Ariel solemly enters the room after Erevis. Her hair is held back with a silver cross/star shaped pin, and she wears the same blue dress she did at the first banquet, oh so long ago.
* Arhn is in the meeting hall as well, wearing her best evening wear.
<DeathStar> 6* The security room is dark, and hardly any power is left, by Earth orders. It seems they are on a lifeless station, and are all just waiting for the "get out now" eviction
* `Cole moves in with a normal suit, his hair is slickd back with gel.
* Cassandra_Arakawa steps into the meeting hall, clad in a shimmery, strapless white gown.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands off to the side, not really part of the group anymore. He merely waits for people to seat where they are suppose to sit.
* Xanatos`Durran moves over and sits down, not really aiming to sit by anyone.
* `Cole takes a seat near Shiva.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down in a seat off to the end, preferring to be alone while in this get up.
* Arhn takes her seat...
* Cassandra_Arakawa also sits down.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *sits down* I'm glad that you have stayed to the end for this Cole.
* Kio glances over at Cassandra. 14"You look beautiful.." 2With that he takes a seat.
* Red_Fox sits down, sighing a little. The gesture's nice... but she wonders if all we're celebrating is an illusion
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Thanks...
<`Cole> I'm still your guard. I leave when you leave. *he nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits down by Arhn, cupping his hands together on the table.
<Seraphna> *Kieran glides into the meeting hall, in the usual long flowing overrobes and armored suit, his lenses immediately focus on 'Katrina'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to the podium slowly, running his hand along the side as he gets behind it, holding a wine glass in the other.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to look at Kieran, her eyes narrowing slightly.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: We don't see Kieran for like 2 seasons and it shows up at the end?
* Red_Fox looks to Kieran. "Who are you?"
<Seraphna> Kieran> "A Shepherd of flocks." *he says after the soft gugling of his translator kicking in*
* Kio nods, before turning to Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Kieran oddly, then turns to look at everyone solomnly, taking a deep breath as he prepares to speak.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien begins to ramble his speech, going over the words loudly so they can all hear his words. He takes a deep breath, holding up his wine glass as he finishes. "Here is to PAX. And to everything it once stood for."
* Xanatos`Durran raises his glass.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren raises his glass. Erevis does nothing, clearly not getting the intent of this
* Red_Fox raises her glass.
* `Cole also raises his glass.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *pats Cole on his back, rubbing it slightly* I may...*she stops and raises her glass*
* Ariel raises her glass as well. Sadly.
* Arhn raises her glass as well.
* Kio raises his glass
<Arhn> ...and to new beginnings.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds it there a moment, then brings it to his lips and drains the contents. Warren doesn't do that himself, though, and Erevis just keeps watching
* Cassandra_Arakawa raises hers in the toast.
* `Cole moves his eyes to Shiva. As he sits his glass back down. "You may?"
* Xanatos`Durran drinks the glass, and sits it back down.
* Red_Fox doesn't yet drink, seeming a little uncertain of something
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Wine not the glass. :S
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *takes a sip from her drink then sets it down* I may not have been as kind to you as I should've been, I would blame business, but that's a horrible excuse.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Arhn once, then speaks again. "I pulled together our remaining resources for this food. Please. Eat and drink. And remember your time here, for better or worse." 6He says, then moves away from the podium
* `Cole shakes his head, "I never let it bother me. As I tried to never bother you."
* Xanatos`Durran begins to eat his food quietly.
* Arhn drinks from her glass and then attends to her meal.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the room into the darkened hallways, taking a deep breath.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Not everything in life is clear to see Cole, somethings are what they are.
<Red_Fox> "I only wish the ideals that we believed in were truly at the core of PAX..."
* Kio places his glass down, taking small bites of his food.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Arhn. 6He speaks up suddenly. "I wish to let you know after PAX ends I will be turning in my resignation to you."
* Red_Fox drinks, and takes a bite of her food
<Arhn> ...I see. And what will you do then?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do not know. I will see when the time comes. My duty here isn't over yet, I believe.
* Cassandra_Arakawa sighs, just staring at her plate.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *takes a bite from her food*
<Arhn> I wish you could come with me...but...given what has happened, a human in our presence would not be wise...
* Ariel puts down her glass, and stands. She can't sit and eat at a time like this. So instead, she steps out of the room without saying a word.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drinks the wine, blinking in surprise at the taste.
* `Cole stares for a bit, "Not everything can be solved with logic either. I've learned." He winks at her, as he sips the wine.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to look at Ariel as she steps into the hallway. "I remember that dress."
<Red_Fox> "The alliance is over, I guess..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I agree. And you'll not need an honor guard anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances away from her a bit as he looks at nothing in particular.
<Kio> 14"Actually..she will need protection more then ever.."
<`Cole> I wont be going back. *he moves his eyes to look at Shiva*
* Ariel nods a little, offering a weak smile. "I had thought it appropiate for this evening."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So have you decided what you will do now that I wil no longer require a guard?
<Red_Fox> "I wish there was more open to me than delivering vengeful justice, or just... making money for something I don't believe in..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It sure does make it feel full circle. The first time I saw you was in that dress.
* Arhn lets out a sigh.
<`Cole> NRP: Just put that after Shiva's.
* Kio eyes Red, he OFFERED her something.
* Xanatos`Durran finishes his meal..always the quick eater. He stands and quietly walks for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grows bored with the proceedings and, eyeing the Vapaad one last time, exits the room through another exit than the one Ariel and Darien took.
<Red_Fox> "... mmm... I guess in time I can get to love Erus..."
<Red_Fox> "I'm not going back to Earth-mil, anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans back in his seat. "Excuse me." 6He turns and walks off himself.
<Red_Fox> "It's a place to start."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *takes another sip of wine* I see. Going to head back to Mjolinar then?
<Red_Fox> "I just... feel empty."
* Xanatos`Durran steps down the hall, glancing back at Erevis aas she exits the room, he stops and leans against the wall.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...Kio...could we step out for a bit?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to walk back for her quarters quietly.
<Kio> 14"Sure.." 2He nods, and moves to step out.
<Ariel> "I've always found the concept of life as a circle to be a silly concept. If anything, it would be a spiral. As time passes, we can better see where situations have started, but we are always reaching higher."
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads out of the meeting hall with Kio, then heads for the security office.
<DeathStar> <Darien> A good analogy. It would appear you have become the one who is imparting knowledge about life now.
* Kio follows her, crossing his arms.
* Xanatos`Durran lowers his heaad as she walks by, he mumbles something.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> One last time...on my desk.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Who's left again?
<`Cole> Rylon invited me to come visit his planet with him. The Erusian music is a very interesting thing I would like to study.
<DeathStar> NRP: Shiva, Cole, Fox, Vapaad Boy, ARhn
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> It is quite beautiful...*she looks around, eyeing the few remaining people, her glances falling on the Vapaad for a few seconds*
* Kio sighs, looking down. 14"Don't word it that way.."
<Red_Fox> "Yeah... maybe I'll go to Erus too. I just... need closure."
<Ariel> "We've all grown since those days. We've all found things we did not realize we had. We've all discarded things we no longer need." *pauses, then adds* "And we all continue to hold onto those things we've found to be dear to us."
<`Cole> Do you still plan to try for the Cartel's version of PAX?
<Seraphna> *Kieran follows behind Erevis.
* Red_Fox looks over to Ariel. "And... yet, I still haven't discarded my pain..."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: They are not there.
<DeathStar> NRP: Ariel/Darien are elsewhere.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Oh, OOPS
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Sorry...its just...you know...that's pretty much what it is...
* Red_Fox looks over to Cole. "I wish I could. I doubt they'd take a human."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *watches the Vapaad leave*
<Red_Fox> "Erus, though... yeah.. I guess."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm glad you've found something dear to you, Ariel.
<Red_Fox> "I just want... closure."
* `Cole moves his eyes slowly to Fox, "There are ways around that." He glances at Shiva. "You seem upu to something."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to walk along, seemingly oblivious to the Vapaad. She stops outside her room, going for her card that she keeps between her breasts in her dress
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> It took a lot to try and convince them to go for it, and then it fell down quickly.
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes as he watches the Vapaad, something clicks in his mind. He narrows his eyes and waits.
* Red_Fox looks to Xan
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: He isn't there either.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. I gave you a list of people still there, Fox.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Fuck. I can't keep it in my head for some reason
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Poor fox.
<Red_Fox> NRP: *does NOT look to Xan, OR Ariel*
<Seraphna> *A grapple flies in front of her face, slaming into the keypad, "You, You are Darkness..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'd like to believe that The Cartel would continue towards this....
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis to face the Vapaad silently. "I would advise you remove yourself from my presence, Vapaad."
<Kio> 14"Heh..this is far from the end. To me this is only the beginning, you are no longer bound by duty..are you sure you wish to remain here..?"
* `Cole nods, "They will all retreat back and lick their wounded egos. No one likes being lied too.'
<Red_Fox> "Think there's room for a representative of Earth, or is it too late?"
<Seraphna> "You have slept, the Shepherds have grown, we will destroy the wolves lest they damage the lambs."
* Arhn rises and moves to join Shiva and company
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *laughs to herself as Cole says it all*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You know nothing. 6She says simply, raising her hand and ripping the grapple off the keypad telepathically
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Leave before I grow angry.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I still have my commission. *shrugs* If I skip out, its AWOL and stealing government property. *enters the security room*
* Ariel closes her eyes a moment, holding one closed above her heart. "They are my strength in these unfamiliar times."
<Kio> 14"I've done worse." 2Enters after her.
* `Cole smiles, and glances at Arhn. "I believe you might be stuck with me a while longer."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And you are theirs. And not because of what Spade or anyone tells you. You are lucky to have them, and they are lucky to have you. Zephyr loves you because you're simply you, Ariel.
<Seraphna> *The Vapaad chuckles, antoehr appears at the end of the hall, "We are many, you are few, and we have learned your tricks."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes them. "Then we shall do battle."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...come on then, lover boy...show me what you're made of...
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis lifts herself up in the air, floating there as she holds out her hands towards the Vapaads.
<Red_Fox> "Tell me, is Erus still part of the alliance?"
<Arhn> The Erus Ascendancy has stepped out into the greater galaxy.
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes, he is still in the hall with the Vapaad and Erevis. He slides back into his room carefully.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yet they still choose to not act.
<Red_Fox> "... I guess that's too bad..."
<Seraphna> *Kieran... stands, lifting from his 6 foot height, his head hunching down from the cieling at nearly 10 feet, his arms extend, appearing large and muscular underthe armor, blades extracting from his arms, the grapples form guns at the ends, the other Vapaad changes similarly.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "You will be removed, last of the Darkness."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis floats there, unphased and her expression blank. She throws out her hand and begins to shake the hallway, ripping pieces of the wall off and flinging it at them.
<`Cole> Sometimes we can't comprehend why other don't react the way we would. *he glances at Shiva*
<Seraphna> *Kieran tilts his head to the side, as does the other in unison as they hold out thier hands, stopping the shards, flinigng them back.
<Red_Fox> "My thoughts, my hopes, my desires... all shifting like sands..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs them in place again and flings them back at them
* Kio smiles a bit grimly. 14"Very well"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your words are as empty as your honor, Vapaads.
* Ariel nods slowly, "I'm afraid for her if something should happen to me..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *pauses* I advise you stay away from being a prophet....Did you feel that?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What? You're a bit too tense...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nothing will happen to you, Ariel. I... won't let anything happen
<Red_Fox> "Feel what?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> ...Nothing, nevermind.
* `Cole smiles as Shiva says the first part. Then arches a brow, looking at her. "Are you alright?"
<Arhn> What?
* Ariel manages a small chuckle, "...I suppose I fear for myself, if something were happen to you."
<Seraphna> *The Guardian Vapaad simply activates his shielding, the shards dissapating, the shards heading at Kieran vanish, "...You have slept, we have grown..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Happen...to me?
<Kio> 14"Arn't you..I really don't wish it to end..it's sort of..depressing.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... Very well.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis begins to close her eyes and the entire section begins to shake.
* Xanatos`Durran comes back to his door, in is battle garb, not his uniform, he remains in the doorway, watching the psychic fight.
<Red_Fox> "Do you feel that?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Look...I just want to make a good memory now...please...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> ....Somethings....I...*stands up* Somethings not right...*she turns walking out of the meeting room*
<Arhn> ...strange...
<Seraphna> *Kieran holds up his hand, starting to supress her mental abilities, the inquisitor, his compaionion the executioner, who moves in on her
* Red_Fox follows. "Indeed.."
<`Cole> Miss Shiva?? *he stands and moves after her*
* Kio looks at the floor for a few moments, before nodding. He relaxes himself, and kisses her deeply.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rips the hallway roof down on top of the executioner. "Your powers pale before mine."
* Cassandra_Arakawa kisses Kio back...
<Seraphna> *The Third Vapaad moves out into the direct way of the others, "You should stay here..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Suddenly picks up her pace, as if homing on on something that the others can't feel*
<Kio> NRP: Annnnddd bing
* Ariel just smiles a little, "Please do not do anything stupid. Especially on my account."
* Red_Fox continues to follow
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes again, straining to maintain this level of psychic power
<Seraphna> *The executution seems unphased by a sheet of metal hitting his armor.
* `Cole has a pistol in his hand, he seems to have put it in his suit before the dinner.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I ... I care about you a lot, Ariel. I'd rather die than let Venerator control you or harm you
* Chad`Winters turns down the hallway, seeing the psychic battle going on. 1"...No..."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: BAKA
* Chad`Winters is now known as Shiva
<Seraphna> *Kieran exerts even more mental control, the metal around him bending outwards
* Shiva is now known as Shiva`
<Red_Fox> "What's going on?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to go to use her full power, and hestiates, realizing their precarious position in space.
<Shiva`> You will stop this at once!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to look at Shiva.
* `Cole slides to a halt. "Damnit..."
<Shiva`> ALL OF YOU.
* Red_Fox stands beside... well, a little behind.. Shiva
<Seraphna> *The third moves in Shiva's way, "The FLock will not interfere."
* `Cole moves forward, sliding himself in front of Shiva. "Take your shit elsewhere, or I'll make you."
* Arhn steps in behind Shiva...
* Shiva` glares at the third. 1"I'm not your flock.
<Red_Fox> "Is that right?"
* Red_Fox pulls out her saber from her kimono. "I say otherwise."
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis offers a blank smile. "It would apepar you are unwanted, Vapaad."
<Red_Fox> "Erevis is still a member of PAX. Nothing will happen to her."
* Xanatos`Durran slides back into his room, his door sliding shut again.
<Red_Fox> .oO(For a few more hours, anyway...)
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis drops her hand. "Get use to it." 6She says to him bitterly, reaching over for her keypad again.
* Shiva` pats Cole on the shoulder and steps around him.
<Seraphna> *Kieran turns, looking at them, "The Vapaad reject to your cooperation with the Darkness."
* Ariel seems hesitant.
<Seraphna> Kieran> *looks to Arhn* "Your cooperation with this Demon is treason to your people."
<Shiva`> The Vapaad's are an arrogant race living a false world that they are the watchers.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies her, then smirks suddenly. "I should go. Tomorrow's our last day for filling out paperwork. I need to get treaties in order for the group." 6He says, thumbing his way back down the hallway.
<Seraphna> *The Executioner chuckles, as both revert to thier "passive" look
* `Cole charges up his pistol. "Leave our station. Now."
<Arhn> I am not cooperating with her...however...there is more to this than meets the eye. And of this, I am certain. This one must be watched. There is a oulse in the background...something waking up.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis pauses, turning to look at their reactions to the Vapaads being so aggressive, obviously confused.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "Is that wise? You nullify all agreements with such a request."
<Red_Fox> "Would you prefer the brig?"
* Xanatos`Durran emerges from his room, walking slowly over to Erevis.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "Such as the soviernty of the Dragoons."
* Shiva` tilts her head. 1"Something funny? Or do you prefer to continue to hide behind your glass walls? And The Cartel will end their agreement with the Vapaads, a race who has not up held their end of the treaty.
<Seraphna> *The Executionor continues to chuckle
* Xanatos`Durran leans in to whisper to Erevis.
* Shiva` moves past the three Vapaads and towards Erevis, she turns around, standing beside her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She looks at Xan, then at Shiva. "Why...?"
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "Then you will betray your people, we have more then fullfilled our end of your requests."
* Red_Fox stands by Erevis also
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "You are breaking your treaty, and that will be noted among the Vapaad."
<Red_Fox> "Ahem. Your attempt as assassinating a member of PAX is a violation of our treaty, surely?"
<Shiva`> Hardly. We've had to fight every inch of the way. And the Vapaad do not scare The Cartel at all.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "Then the Cartel do not know a thing of the FOrerunners."
<Shiva`> You say we risk breaking the soveignty of the Dragoons, yet here you are, willing to kill the last of it's kind.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Shiva. Then at Erevis. "I don't know about them. But I just wouldn't feel right if I lt something happen to you."
<Shiva`> And the Forerunners do not know the might of The Cartel.
* Arhn just stares at Shiva...
* Shiva` stands firm, her body holding the weihgt of someone who's not bluffing.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> *the Vapaad stares at Shiva, then seems to take her as a complete and utter moron*
* Ariel nods slowly, "You should enjoy this evening. But I cannot ask you to neglect your work."
* Red_Fox does not look at all impressed by the Vapaad
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "The... arrogance... of the Cartel is noted."
* `Cole steps forward, pressed the gun to the glass piece of the Vapaad. "Leave. Now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just take your own advise Ariel. 6He goes to take a step forward, but instead stops, turning around. "See you tomorrow, Ariel." 6He begins to walk off.
<Shiva`> I've seen sewer rats with more intelligence than the Vapaad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Arhn> ...honored Vapaad. Please...I humbly ask for your patience. There are thing sin motion here, and we must let the true enemy reveal itself.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "We will be patient, but we will nto leave."
<Ariel> "Darien."
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "If the fool wishes to die, he may attemtp to enforce his treason."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will leave. Tomorrow. 6She states flatly. "I will not be fought over." 6She opens her door and leaves.
<Red_Fox> "And you will make no moves against PAX members."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns back to look at Ariel.
* Red_Fox does not state that as a request
* Ariel leans over and gives Darien a small kiss on the cheek. "Do not overexert yourself."
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "As long as we are not moved upon, the Lambs are safe from teh wrath of the SHepherds."
* Xanatos`Durran glances as the door closes, he turns to look at the Vapaads. "Shut the fuck up and leave."
<Red_Fox> "ANY PAX member."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know me. 6He laughs tenderly, then gives her a quick hug. "I'll make everything right. You'll see." 6He hurries off.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "You will nto speak with authority, servant of the Deciever."
<Red_Fox> "I do not tolerate those who will betray PAX."
* `Cole stands there with the pistol against the Vapaad's glass thing. "You heard him. Leave."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Him?
<Arhn> Please....just...no more conflict. This one was awakaned for a reason...we must know why. This thread must be followed.
<Shiva`> It's amazing...The great shepherds, knowers of all, can not even see through the deceptive veil that brough them in.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Durran spok too.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Ahh
<Red_Fox> "I do not serve the deciever any long. I have found his lies, and no longer worship him as the saint I once did."
<Seraphna> *Kieran chuckles again, "The Children are blind even now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands in the darkness of her room, then hugs herself as she closes her eyes, still feeling their anger and their thoughts outside her room
* Xanatos`Durran steps forward, "Get the fuck out of here, no one wants you here. LEAVE."
<Arhn> Enough...all of you. Please. This confrontation must end.
* Shiva` crossesher arms, standing infront of Erevis' door.
<Red_Fox> "Indeed."
<Seraphna> *Kieran seems to ignore thier commands.
* Ariel goes to the hangar to check on young Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien appears in the hallway. "Kieran."
<Seraphna> Kieran> "When the PAX has died, so will she, the Progenitors have commanded it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "If you do not return to your quarters, you will leave this station."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I give you until the count of 5 to decide.
<Red_Fox> "It's not dead yet..."
<Xanatos`Durran> Like you could, I saw her power compared to yours, you are a fool.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien counts softly, not letting them know when he reaches 5.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks up as Ariel arrives. She pushes goggles up on top of her head, smiling. "Hi. Did you and Darien have a date tonight?"
<Seraphna> Kieran> "I will return to my quarters, as soon as the one named Cole lwoers his weapon."
<Arhn> Please, cease this at once! There is no need for conflict!
<DeathStar> <Darien> 3. 6He says outloud.
* Shiva` turns knocking on Erevis' door
<DeathStar> <Darien> 4.
* `Cole lowers his pistol.
<Seraphna> *Kieran sighs, awaiting a chance to move, being surropunded with weapons.
<`Cole> NRP: 1 you silly girl.
<DeathStar> <Darien> 5. 6He finishes.
<Seraphna> *Kieran nods to the Executioner, who turns and heads to the chambers
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, opening her eyes. She waves a hand, wrenching the door open.
<Red_Fox> "... phew..."
<Shiva`> May I come inside? *she stands in the doorway*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Everyone. You may not trust me anymore. Fine. If that Vapaad does anything suspicious, kill it. That is an order.
<Red_Fox> "I thought things were going to get violent."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes even Arhn, then turns and walks off.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "Very well then, if we hold any suspcions, we will do the same."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may do as you please.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back at Shiva.
* Ariel shakes her head softly. "No, not tonight." She looks at Zephyr's work, "You've been busy?"
<Arhn> ...we do not need a conflict now of all times.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I've been running programs on the scans we have on you, but I'm afraid I don't see how such device is in you or how to neutralize it.
* Red_Fox sighs. "Darien... do you still believe in PAX's ideals, despite their origins?"
* Shiva` steps inside. 1"Are you ok Erevis?
<Seraphna> Kieran> "Ascendant."
* Xanatos`Durran motions to everyone, "You all should leave. I'll stand guard.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Fox. "No. After this display of stupidity, I believe that the Erusians and the Vapaad are delusional and as foolish as Earth. And I believe the Cartel incapable of true peace either. We're all damned." 6He walks off, rounding the corner angerily.
<Seraphna> *Kieran looks to Arhn, "If you will guide me to my quarters?"
* Ariel pauses, "Were you able to analyse a sample of the vaccine?"
* `Cole glances at Erevis' open door, then leaves, walking down the hall.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sadly, no. It was all used on you a year ago. I have nothing to work on, and if I did, I don't think I could do anything.
* Red_Fox sighs.
<Arhn> ...of coruse...but I believe that this confrontation was not necessary.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "The PAX have become violent, they will fall even without Earth's hand in it's actions."
<Red_Fox> .oO(I want to believe in PAX, but...)
<Shiva`> NRP: Not that PAX hasnt already fallen
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Seriously.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks over to the military outift, grabbing it. She lets her hair fall down to her shoulders and begins to pull off her dress quietly.
<Seraphna> NRP: Not that it's not offical yet, you don't claim time of death until brainwaves stop, you know.
<Arhn> I still believe that you were wrong in this.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to put on her uniform in silence, troubled, angery, and distracted. She begins to suit up her uniform.
<Seraphna> Kieran> "We have kept to the laws of the Forerunners. We have done no wrong."
<Shiva`> Look....It's not an easy thing for me to accept Erevis....
* Xanatos`Durran slides over to the doorway, not speaking, allowing Shiva and Erevis time to speak however they wish.
* Ariel nods with a small sigh. She takes a seat, just watching the youngest for a moment.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not ask for your acceptance. 6She snaps, finishing suiting up. She turns. "I will find my own path in your worlds of deceit, lies, and honorless actions."
<Seraphna> Kieran> "The Cartel are agressive and no longer in the mind of peace, if they harm a Vapaad, I cannot stop the Vapaad from cleansing them. It is too early for this."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares back at her. "What's going to happen to us, Ariel?"
<Arhn> She was protecting someone who she still identifies as her friend.
* Red_Fox follows Cole
<Seraphna> Kieran> "The one who calls himself... Cole, as I read him... he acted rashly, even for an act of protection. Especially as he considers the one who came before Dead."
* `Cole slides into the observation deck and sits down, picking up his guitar. He sighs to himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands in the diplomatic office a moment, then kicks a desk in a rage, smashing a hole in it.
<Red_Fox> "Mind if I listen?"
<Shiva`> *lowers her head* Because even though you took away something from me that I held dear, you've done nothing to show ill will unless provoked. And because of that...I should atleast give you a chance....
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out of the shadows of the observation deck, wearing a black trench coat, shirt, and pants, meaning he's probably resigned already from the Erusian Ascendency
* Ariel shakes her head slowly, "I am afraid, at the juncture... I do not know. These are clouded times. We will have to do our best, and pray that is enough."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not want your chances or your feelings. I've asked nothing of any of you. I am not your friend. Leave me be. 6She says finally, beyond reason with her anger. She turns and leans against a dresser, refusing to look at Shiva.
<Arhn> Regardless, I cna understand why they did what they did.
<Seraphna> Vapaad> "Have the Soldiers fell so far they have forgotten how to fight? Come in..." *he points out teh breath masks to Arhn* "...there is something you must see."
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting down beside Ariel, Zephyr hugs her. "I believe everything will work out fine in the end."
<Xanatos`Durran> You don't have to ask us for our friendship. We offer it on our own. *he leans in the doorway*
<Arhn> We are have become more than just fodder for the battlefield. *pulls on the mask*
<Shiva`> You asked me why....that is why.
<Red_Fox> "Cole?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: HOld on Fox. Long thing.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Okay
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws her hand at Xanatos as if to strike him, then lowers it to her side. She just sits on the floor in silence.
* Ariel nods and hugs Zephyr back with a sad smile. "Hold onto your optimisim Zephyr. It is a precious thing."
<Seraphna> *Kieran shows her in, the other two Vapaad are nowhere to be seen
* `Cole glances at Fox. "No, I don't mind." He begins to play a song, just the first thing tha pops into his mind, he plays and sings the first verse, leading into the chorus, "I will wait. He said. Endlessly. For you. And I will fight. He said. Endlessly. For you." Cole finishes out the song, singing the chorus after each verse, slwoly fading to silnce.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns at Erevis. "And I owe you an apology."
* Arhn enters the Vapaad's chambers.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks at him.
* Red_Fox listens, staring out at the stars
<Shiva`> All we've shown you has been negatives...Perhaps what you need to see....Is the good things.
<Xanatos`Durran> I hesitated. I should have stepped up in the first place. But my conflictions are over now. You may not be my Katrina, but you are my friend. Whether you choose to accept that or not."
<DeathStar> Session Pause
<DeathStar> Now...even through we're 30 mins behind
<DeathStar> The main event.
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.12.2
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* Darien Starr sits in a round table meeting with Arhnya, Shiva, and Ariel. They are ending the last of the treaties, and the hostility is far from gone, especially with the Vapaad incident fresh in minds.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Earth will refuse the request for trade with Sector 6B. 6He notes darkly, referring to the Vapaad area.
* Red_Fox watches, quietly
<`Cole> NRP: I don't thinkn you are supposed to be ther Fox. :P
<Red_Fox> NRP: Ah, okay
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands in her room, gathering a suitcase of clothing. She eyes a toy bear of Kat's, then tosses it into the suitcase as an afterthought
<Red_Fox> NRP: *is not actually there then!*
<Arhn> Understandable...
* Shiva` stands there, no longer in the joyous mood that she usually is in.
* Ariel nods awknowledgingly, though hardly pleased.
* Xanatos`Durran is quietly leaning against the wall, beside Erevis' room.
<DeathStar> <Darien> President Hodges personally, after hearing last night's incident, offer a colony to the Dragoons. 6He brings to the table suddenly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then waves her hand at the door, wrenching it open. "Xanatos Durran."
* Xanatos`Durran leans in. "Yo." He says, his arms crossed as he leans in the doorway.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You require something?
<Shiva`> And what about The Cartels request to use the Jumpgate in Sector 2C?
* Ariel pauses, surprised at that, "Does he now?"
* `Cole sits in the observation deck. He hasn't really been elsewhere, just playing all he can before he leaves.
<DeathStar> <Darien> He does. 6He nods, then gives Shiva a nod.
<Xanatos`Durran> Where do plan on going?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am returning to Earth. I will decide on my course from there.
* Arhn sighs and seems to stare at empty space...
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "I see." He frowns, wondering what to say.
<DeathStar> 6* The lighting on the station flickers again.
<Shiva`> And the continuing trade of the Altrothium Ore?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is something on your mind. 6She states, looking at him blankly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Earth politely refuses that juncture at this time.
<Xanatos`Durran> There is. *he nods his head, knowing she would pick up on it*
* Cassandra_Arakawa laying in bed with Kio...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then speak it.
* Red_Fox sits in the observation deck, sighing, occasionally glancing at her datapad
<Xanatos`Durran> You'll probably just laugh at me. *he smirks faintly*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows his datapad in the lower levels, frowning as he tries to pick up something on his sensors. He is clad in black now, his resignation turned into Arhn last night upon hearing about the Vapaad incident
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not laugh.
<Shiva`> Understood. *she taps something on her datapad* The Cartel have refused the use of Military and Business travel in Sector 8A of the Oridium Galaxy.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Earth accepts. 6He says blandly, marking something on a paper.
* Kio lays next to her, holding her tightly within his embrace.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Is the security room still powered?
<Xanatos`Durran> I was thinking last night. And I would like to accompany you, to Earth at least. Once there, well, it would be your choice.
<DeathStar> NRP: Not really.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Barely...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
<Ariel> "I will have to inspect the specifics of the proposal. Although, I do not believe I have any grounds to refuse after..." She trails off.
* Red_Fox examines her datapad, checking on the positions of everyone, lonelily
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle lands with last minute food supplies, since the mess hall is empty.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, pushing a folder over to her that he obviously made hastily last night. He looks red eyed, as if he was up all night.
* Red_Fox heads to the shuttle bays, noting the landing. (as long as the data is available)
<DeathStar> NRP: It will be.
<Xanatos`Durran> I didn't sleep much. Something kept nagging me at the back of my head. I just feel I should accompany you for a little while. Or at least until you make me leave you alone.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Then I head that way
<DeathStar> 6* A man with a white hat pulled over his face stands there, grabbing packed lunches and placing them on the ground
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may follow if you desire. I am scheduled to leave tonight.
* Ariel takes the folder and looks over the contents.
* `Cole watches Red Fox leave and stands, taking his guitar with him, he moves out, apparently toward his room.
<Shiva`> And does Earth still want access to Sector 1E of the Lorito System?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Earth does not at this time.
<Red_Fox> .oO(Everyone else can forgive me... why can't I forgive myself?)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Arhn. "Does the Erusian Ascendency have anything left?"
<Red_Fox> .oO(I guess... after all this time, I still want to believe...)
<DeathStar> 6* The man whistles a tune as he gets everything done up in the hanger.
<Shiva`> Very well. Is there any other requests that Earth has off the Cartel?
<DeathStar> <Darien> We do not.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "I would like that." He turns to leave but stops, "Please don't think of me as hanging onto the hope of Katrina. I've moved past that, I wish to strengthen our friendship. If you'll allow it."
<Ariel> "I believe this colony would be quite suited. Though, what are the terms that the vice president is giving?"
<Arhn> ...I...I want to say...that I am sorry...about last night...the truth is...the Vapaad frighten me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes to answer Ariel, but stops as he eyes Arhn in surprise. "Really?"
* `Cole turns into his room, the door sliding behind him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I will explore it.
* Ariel smiles just a little, "One cannot blaim you for that. They can be an intimidating people."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rounds a corner. "You?" 6He says in shock, only to be hit in the stomach by a stick and slammed in the face with a fist. He collapses, and out of sight of any one or cameras.
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head and moves out, moving toward the hanger, he had already packed up his belongings.
* Shiva` eyes Arhn for a second, wondering when she was unconfident about such matters.
<DeathStar> * Erevis turns to sit on her bed, going to remain in place for the day, deciding she doesn't want a chance encounter with anyone else.
<Arhn> Yes...its hard to explain. I think we must be biologicaly wired like that...the Vaapad have a connection to the past...
<Kio> 14"Should we get outta here?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yet they can hardly be considered honorable for attacking someone in the hallway when that someone has made no hostile moves.
<DeathStar> 6* The man notes people entering the hanger. He holds up a packaged sandwich. "Here you go, Stella." 6He tosses it at her as she walks in
* Red_Fox catches it. "Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* The man whistles as he closes the ramp of the shuttle before anyone can look inside.
* Red_Fox also tries to identify the individual
<Ariel> "I do not believe that the Dragoons could have lived on that world peacefully for long after that incident, even without the eviction."
<DeathStar> 6* The man keeps his back to her, whistling a cheerful tune.
<Red_Fox> "Excuse me... what is your name?"
<DeathStar> <Man> Looking for a date? 6He offers.
<Arhn> Its difficult to explain...but...they were under orders...old orders.
<Red_Fox> "No.. I'm just wondering who I should thank."
* Xanatos`Durran notes Fox and the man, he narrows his eyes, sliding to a halt at the door. He suddenly arches a brow, "John, what the hell are you doing here?"
<DeathStar> 6* John pushes the hat up. "Aw hell."
<Red_Fox> "... nice disguise John."
<Shiva`> Is something wrong with you Arhnya? You don't seem to your normal self.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... and these orders include killing Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* John lifts his hands in the air. "Well, cops, you got me."
<Arhn> For a moment, I knew what the Myrh felt like...I...didn't like it. And their orders...are to stop the enemy.
<Xanatos`Durran> We aren't cops anymomre. What are you doing here?
* `Cole steps out of his room, moving silently down the halls.
<Red_Fox> "Here to reminisce?"
<DeathStar> <John> Aw, you're still Earth military. Your transfer orders are already coming in. I peaked at them.
* Kio begins to move into the bed, sitting up lightly.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm leaving the military. *he notes oddhandly*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: off*
<DeathStar> <John> That's a shame. Good luck with that. 6He begins to walk past them.
<Red_Fox> "I'm leaving too.. I can't serve under Cran.."
<DeathStar> <John> Cran bad! 6He does a thumbs up.
<DeathStar> 6* John hurries through the hallway exit and gets out of there.
* Red_Fox does a thumbs up to John
* Xanatos`Durran watches John leave. He pulls up his comm as he moves over toward his shuttle, "Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks up her comm. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <John> Fuck fuck fuck fuck. 6He runs down the hallways, heading for Kat's room.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And Erevis is that enemy.
* Red_Fox suddenly blinks. "Oh.. shit."
* Red_Fox rushes after
* Kio gets half dressed, and moves to step out into the hallway.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Comm> John is coming your way. He doesn't know you aren't Kat. Just a warning.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... John? 6She says, a hint of panic
* Xanatos`Durran licks off the comm aand looks to Fox. "Don't worry about it. it isn't like he can kill her or anything."
<Arhn> Yes...or at least a remnant.
<Red_Fox> "But..."
* Shiva` watches Arhn.
<Arhn> Commodore Starr, the Vapaad are frightened.
<Xanatos`Durran> Don't worry about it Fox. *he steps up into his shuttle, to do an inventory check*
<DeathStar> 6* John arrives in the hallways and pokes his head into the room of Kat. "Katrina, big trouble. I found what we were looking for."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of Erevis.
<Red_Fox> "I still want to.."
* Red_Fox still follows
<Arhn> Not just her...of what she represents.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I.. uh... 6She stands up, she grabs at her hair, then lets her hand down. She looks confused. "What were.. you looking ... for John..."
* Red_Fox waits outside when she arrives, noticing that John is already there. .oO(Too late.. well.. shit.)
<DeathStar> <John> The motherlode of all the shit. Look, who all is left on this station?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I.. would assume.... the... <John> What is WITH you? Come on. 6He grabs her hand and jerks her into the hallway. "We're going to power up the security room."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cups his hands together. "And what does Erevis represent?"
* Red_Fox blinks
<DeathStar> 6* John drags her along after him, heading for the security room.
* `Cole turns around a corner, just wondering around casually.
<Shiva`> She has made no attempt to harm anyone since she's gotten on the station.
<Red_Fox> "Well, you got there alright.." *follows*
* `Cole stops outside of where they are havinng their round table meeting, He stands there patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* The convoy arrives in the security room. John grabs his comm. "Okay, hacker boy...just walk me through this..." 6He sits down at a chair, typing on the computer as he listens to someone on his comm. link.
<Red_Fox> "What's going on?"
<Arhn> They fear that she represents war. Not the wars like that with the Ridarium or even the Tsivirxsh conquests...no...a type of war that has not been seen in millenia...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops once in the security room, eyeing the monitors coming back on. The power guages are off the scale, strangely.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hrn.
<DeathStar> <John> Look, tell Cardboy, I'm not seeing anyone else on this station but us.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Kio...power is doing strange things.
<Red_Fox> "Cardboy?"
<Kio> 14"..I know"
<DeathStar> <John> Shhhhhhh. 6He waves his hand. "Look, if he's been lying to me...>"
<Arhn> I do not know if their fears are are going to come to pass or not...I hope not...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then eyes the lights flickering.
<Ariel> "I cannot agree with their assessment. Erevis, though she is the cause of the death of a dear friend, has more moral-" She eyes the lights.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why does it keep doing that?
<Red_Fox> "Uhhh... Kat... do you have any idea what's going on?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr, who has been in the hanger, eyes the shuttle suddenly. She begins to walk towards it quickly, running.
<Kio> 14"You should get dressed..somethings going down"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm...not sure what my ... brother is doing... at this time....
* `Cole steps down off of shuttle and closes the ramp, he eyes Zephyr.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Xan did that.
* Shiva` looks up at the lights flickering. 1"I thought that the majority of the station has been shut down.
<Red_Fox> "Ah... well..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs the delivery shuttle's doors and rips it open, eyeing Chad, Sera, and Spade, who all look up. The shuttle is full of computer equipm,ents
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad!
* `Cole glances up at the lights.
<`Cole> NRP: You leave out Kane agaain! *punches you*
* Shiva` is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> NRP: Shut
<DeathStar> NRP: Shit
<`Cole> NRP: Lol. :P
* `Kane has joined #taw
<DeathStar> NRP: I really do forget that fucker.
* Cassandra_Arakawa nods and pulls on her clothes quickly before heading to the security office.
<`Cole> NRP: :(
* Kio heads off after her, throwing on his shirt.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr, I'm glad to see you're well.
<DeathStar> <Spade> It would appear your girlfriend senses you, Chad Winters. Pilot bonding, perhaps?
* Chad`Winters glances at Spade.
* Xanatos`Durran steps over to glance in the shuttle, "....Uh..." He rubs the back of his neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs Chad in a hug.
<Red_Fox> "John... I'm tired of being left out of the loop..."
<Arhn> If we need to continue this conversation later, I will...
<DeathStar> <John> Alright, fine. Venerator's on the station.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What the hell is going on?!
* Red_Fox checks the security monitors. "HE'S WHAT?! WHERE?!"
<DeathStar> <John> We think he's here to find something Cran hid before the station went online.
* Chad`Winters is caught off guard by the action, then reaches around, huging her back.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You big dummy. You should have told me you were okay.
<Red_Fox> "Isn't it just like the little bastard to hide right under our noses..."
<DeathStar> 6* All the monitors appear empty
* `Kane glances around at everyone, "....Some cover.."
<DeathStar> <John> Tch. Who all was here last night? Anyone?
<Chad`Winters> I didn't want anyone to trace it back to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs his comm. "What is going on, Arakawa?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Arhn> *comm* I just got here...but John McCormick is in security now, and he sayd Venerator is on the station.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade hops off the shuttle, glancing around. "We need to comb this station now."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Sometings is wrong.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks up and runs for the security room.
* Chad`Winters stands up, following behind Darien as best as she can.
<Arhn> ...I do not like this...
<Chad`Winters> NRP: GAH!
* Red_Fox checks the monitors again, wondering if this is faked
* Xanatos`Durran narrows his eyes and pulls up his comm, "Darien, it seems Spade, Kane, Chad, and Sera are here to help."
* Ariel gets up quickly and darts after Darien
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. There is someone else on this station besides us.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...this is the reason I wanted to rip out all of the existing equipment...
<Red_Fox> *comm* "They're here too?"
<Seraphna> "Alright..."
* `Cole glances at Shiva running off and follows her, "Trouble?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Remember. If Venerator gets his hands on whatever is in here, we're in trouble.
<Chad`Winters> It's good to see yo're safe Zeph.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I'm fine.
<DeathStar> 6* She lets go, stepping back.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the security room, glancing at everyone.
* `Kane steps out, he nods to Sera and moves off with her, to search for venerator.
<DeathStar> <John> Who, Kat?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The janitor. He was only remaining crew member left on the station
<Red_Fox> "... I admire his loyalty, but... it seems strange that the janitor's still here..."
* Xanatos`Durran breaks into a run for the security office.
<Red_Fox> "... fuck. Are you thinking he's Venerator?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...hold on... *moves to her console and brings up the janitor's file*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> His mind was unreadable to me.
* Seraphna check the ammo in her guns as they move, "Never thought I'd be here to stop Venny."
<Red_Fox> "Shit. He IS Venerator."
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor's file appears to be legit. It's perfectly airtight sealed.
<`Kane> Neither did I." *he nods to her, his gun already out.*
<DeathStar> 6* Spade hurries into the hallways, holding a gun in his hand. "Remember. We might have to kill Ariel, too."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Everything looks in order...he could have been replaced though.
* Chad`Winters eyes Seraphna then looks back at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Red_Fox> *comm* "If you see the janitor, detain him. I have this feeling that he's not a real janitor"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Where is everyone? Has anyone seen Warren?
* `Cole glances around at everyone as he steps into the security office with Shiva. "Wow...quite the party.."
<Chad`Winters> I found what I needed Zeph.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You did? That's good. 6She brings her hands together in a clapping motion
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the office, he sees Erevis is here and releaases a breath before glancing around. "If we plan on searching this place. I suggest groups of two."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But.. I ... I need to check on Ariel. Spade said.. 6She says suddenly, as if getting blank. She hurries off to find Ariel.
* Chad`Winters reaches into his satchel and pulls out an injector.
<Seraphna> "Zephyr!"
<Red_Fox> *comm* "What would Venerator be after, anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops, jerking as Sera's voice reaches her.
<DeathStar> 6*Spade vanishes into a hallway wihtout cameras, going solo.
<Seraphna> "For your own good, you should leave the station, get far away..."
* Kio crosses his arms. 14"So what's going on?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I can't.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Commodore, I advise we get the VIPs off the station. Now.
<Chad`Winters> ....*quickly puts it away then runs after Zephyr sliding next to her.
<Seraphna> "Please. I don't want to see you hurt in this..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Agreed. I want Ariel, Shiva, Arhn, and Kieran off this station.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I must help Ariel. 6She hurries onward.
<`Cole> Who will be doing that?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Cole, you handle it.
<Seraphna> "PLease... break free..."
<Red_Fox> "Hey John, you can get our comms, right?"
* `Cole nods. "Alright." he glances around to see if Shiva is with them.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *comm* Kio, we are evacuating the VIPs. The station security has been compromised.
<DeathStar> <John> Not really. I borrowed Kat's one time, though.
* Chad`Winters takes after Zephyr
* Seraphna sighs and straightens up, moving on to search. Knowing this station better then just about anyone.
<Seraphna> "Take care you two!"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Stands beside him*
<Red_Fox> "That would work, if Kat stays with you..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Kio glances at his comm system, then heads toward the location of the VIPS.
<Red_Fox> .oO(I'm sorry, Erevis. The deception is... not right, I know.)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the monitors, then hurries off, knowing exactly where he needs to go
* `Cole nods to her, "Come'on we have to get them. Did they remain in the round table room?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns a bit, then nods. "I will stay with John."
<Red_Fox> .oO(But... I can't just tell him.)
<Red_Fox> "Thankyou. I'll go searching."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm not sure where they are.
<Red_Fox> "Keep in touch."
* Xanatos`Durran looks between John and Erevis. "Keep her safe, buddy." He turns and moves out, following Darien, since he seems to know where he is going.
* `Cole nods, "We must find them." He breaks off into a run, first for Ariel's quarters.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out his gun, moving for the stairs. He begins to run down them. "After the Ambassadors off, I want this place sealed." 6He orders into his comm.
<Ariel> NRP: Well... THIS is confusing =P
<Arhn> Kio...what is happening? *spoken as Kio shows*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *glances over at them then turns, following afer Cole*
* Cassandra_Arakawa steps into the armory to suit up.
* `Cole has both of his pistols out, "You know where you are going?" Following Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* The armory... is empty. All the weapons are gone, it seems.
<`Cole> NRP: PISS. Xan did that.
<Kio> 14"The Station..it's been infiltrated.."
* `Cole slides in front of Ariel's room door, he knocks on it quickly.
* Red_Fox heads out of the security room and starts towards the armory. A gun would be nice
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr busts into security and hugs Ariel, who was hiding in the dark. "You're safe."
<DeathStar> NRP: ACtually, the station was emptied of all equipment days ago, remember?
<`Kane> NRP: She was in Security??
* Ariel puts a protective arm around Zephyr, "For the moment."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Yep
* Seraphna heads via backways and access routes, keeping her attention on everything around her, especially the locatiosn of the two Dragoons on station.
* Chad`Winters steps in after her.
<Red_Fox> NRP: How do you think I was talking to John and Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien enters the engineering section, noting the temper change.
<`Cole> NRP: I was meaning Ariel.
<Ariel> NRP: *is Silhouette in disguise*
<Red_Fox> *comm* Fox here, heading towards the armory
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's hot down here.
<Arhn> ...damn it...they cleared out everything. *steps out of the armory*
* `Cole glances at Shiva. "She...was she in the security room?
<Red_Fox> *comm* Where is everyone?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The Commodore wants us off the station. 6She tells Ariel.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Chaos breaks out and people run into each other*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Seriously this is a madhouse. :P
<Kio> 14"<Com> I just found Arhn, not sure where anybody else is"
<DeathStar> <John> Come on, Kat. 6He runs off. Erevis frowns, then follows.
* Ariel nods slowly, "I am hesitant... but it might be for the best."
<Seraphna> *Kieran meets up with Arhn at the Armory, "This is where we must leave... Soldier."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *comm* Engineering is where there are fewer eyeballs now that we are operating with a skeelton crew. Also explains the power fluctuations.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Comm> I have Shiva, bring all the VPs to the hanger.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yes...
<Seraphna> *The toehr two Vapaad file into the hangar, heading to thier shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds his gun out in front of him as he combs the engineering hallways, sweat on his forehead.
<Arhn> ...I have already had my personal belongings transferred to our diplomatic shuttle...Kio...please accompany me.
* Xanatos`Durran moves toward the hanger. "...Too many peopl for me to register."
* Red_Fox hurries towards Engineering
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spots Warren, kneeling down and grabbing his comm. "Warren is down."
* Kio glances back at her. 14"I will accompany you as far as the hangar.."
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Shit. Location?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: ....Cole did that.
<Arhn> *comm* Commodore, I'm on my way. Be careful. *heads down to engineering*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Engineering. WE--- 6His voice is cut off with a blam over the comm.
<Arhn> *comm* I need engineering sealed off!
* Seraphna watches from an access shaft, quiet as a mouse.
<DeathStar> NRP: That's right, Arhn. GO RESCUE HIM!
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *comm* Commodore, I'm on my way. Be careful. *heads down to engineering*
<Ariel> "We should head to the ha-" *cuts off hearing the comm*
* Red_Fox continues to engineering, activating her stealthsuit
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Yo, Durran was following him.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *comm* I need engineering sealed off!
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor stands over Darien as he falls over. He looks around.
<DeathStar> NRP: But you were a bit behind.
* Xanatos`Durran turns the corner, he has his pistols up, firing at the janitor.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Gotcha.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You should get on the shuttle now, Ariel. I will get Darien.
* `Cole moves into the hanger, looking around at the Shuttles of use.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor jerks behind a wall and hurries off into the darkness.
<Chad`Winters> I'll go with her.
* Red_Fox enters the engineering section at last
* Xanatos`Durran moves over and kneels down to check Darien's vital signs.
* Ariel nods reluctantly, and hugs Zephyr. "Take care."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *comm* Xan, status!
<DeathStar> NRP: Once the damn ambassadors are off, go use #pax-season5session22
* Ariel heads to the hangar.
<DeathStar> NRP :That will be their room
* Kio leads the way to the Hangar.
<Seraphna> *Kieran moves with Arhn, protectively.
* `Cole moves and preps a shuttle for them. Waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her gun, then nods. "Let us find the Commodore." 6She hurries out of the security room
* Arhn moves to the Erusian shuttle...
* Chad`Winters follows behind her.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: I'm checking his vitals now.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Steps onto the shuttle, distraught at having to leave*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans, grabbing his shoulder. "I'm fine. He just winged me."
* Red_Fox hurries to where Darien is
* Xanatos`Durran nods, and speaks into his comm, "He got nicked, no biggy. Be on the lookout."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slaps Warren a few times, who stirs and gets up
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ungh...Ven is here...
* Xanatos`Durran moves off down the dark path that the janitor took.
* Kio stops inside the hangar, and points to the shuttle. 14"Go"
<`Cole> NRP: Someone Nrp tell me when all the people are on the shuttle? :P
* Red_Fox continues to search for Ven
<DeathStar> 6* John and Erevis make their way around the station. "Since everyone is in engineering, we'll be all cool, sister, and cut them off up here."
* Cassandra_Arakawa runs out into engineering.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Darien get to their feet while Durran chases after the janitor.
* Ariel heads to her shuttle, saying quiet prayer as she starts it up.
* Arhn boards the shuttle and waits for Kio.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Warren... Commodore...are you both alright?
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're fine. 6He says into his comm. "But we lost sight of Durran."
* Red_Fox destealths for a moment by Cass and the pair
<Red_Fox> "Shame.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns at that last communication from Darien
* Kio looks bakc at Arhn. 14"..I need to help the others..I cannot leave them."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Or not. ^^;
<Kio> *back*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Chad finally arrive in the engineering area with everyone else.
* `Cole glances back, "I'll be taking care of you ladies." he says as the ramp closes, only after all the Ambassadors are present. He would lift up the shuttle and ZOOM into the other channel. :D
* `Cole has left #taw
<DeathStar> <John> You know, KAt, you seem troubled. Durran again? <Erevis> AH, yes. You know how he is. Never knows what a girl wants. 6She says, forcing a smile on her face.
* Kio heads toward Engineering.
<DeathStar> 6* As Durran rounds the corner, the janitor punches him with what appears to be a steel fist.
<Red_Fox> *comm* Report all Venerator sightings. That way, we can locate the bastard when he runs away
<Arhn> I cannot pilot the shuttle myself, Kio...
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Arhn is on my shuttle. :P Coles*
<Chad`Winters> Zeph...I need to ask something of you....
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around. "We should follow." 6He begins to move through the engineering hallways after Durran.
* Xanatos`Durran stumbles back, his nose bursting on impact, he pulls up his pistols firing ahead of him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *com* Xan, where are you?!
<Red_Fox> NRP: Can I hear the gunshots?
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor gets hit in the chest. "Heh heh. You're good."
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes.
* Red_Fox rushes for the gunshots, stealthed
<DeathStar> 6* John rounds the corner when a knife goes into his stomach. He falls over. Erevis looks up, only to be hit by a tranq
* Xanatos`Durran steps back to evaulate who this is.
<Chad`Winters> I have a.....cure of sorts that will...lessen my Id. But it's dangerous...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hell! *starts at a run for the source of the sound*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. 6She lifts her head up at the gunshots.
* Seraphna moves cautiously, watching, using every nook and cranny, every little side passage no one knew about.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor rips off his mask, a white hair man smiling at him. Adam. "Hello."
<DeathStar> 6* John falls to his knees. "You...you bastard..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> John! 6She throws out her hands, slamming their attacker into the wall
* Xanatos`Durran fires immediately pullin his comm up with his lft hand, "This is Adam, go find Venerator!" He shouts before pocketing his comm.
<Chad`Winters> ...What did you hear?
<Red_Fox> *comm* Roger.
<DeathStar> 6* Adam dashes forward, smashing Durran in the gut before he can speak
<DeathStar> <Adam> Shhhhh. No talking.
<Kio> 14"<Com> Where the hell is Katrina?"
<Red_Fox> *comm* "With John."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gun shots. 6*She points in the direction of them.
* Xanatos`Durran grits his teeth and urks, he slings his arm downward on Adam, aiming to hit him with the butt of the pistol
<Chad`Winters> ....Let's go.
<Kio> 14"<Comm> Where the hell is John!"
<DeathStar> 6* Adam grabs his arm, kneeing him in the groin. He flips Durran onto the floor. "Sorry, but you're no match for me."
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads for Xan!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hurries down the hallways, joining the others who were originally tracking Durran. (Okay, you're all fucking togethern ow)
<Red_Fox> *comm* John, where are you?!
* Chad`Winters quickly follows with her.
* Xanatos`Durran lays on the floor, holding his groin, groaning. "Somone...got some...new parts.." He breaths holding his nuts.
<DeathStar> 6* As they round the corner, they see Adam standing over Durran.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims his gun at Adam, as does Darien.
* Red_Fox looks towards Adam. "You're not Vennie... but you'll do."
<Xanatos`Durran> FIND KAT! *he coughs, holding himself*
<DeathStar> <Adam> Oh, yeah. 6He hops back, slamming his fist into his open palm.
* Red_Fox pulls out her saber, having no pistol to fire
<Red_Fox> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* The air in the engineering section gets even hotter.
* Red_Fox steps back and checks for the location of Katrina's comm
<DeathStar> 6* It's still on the upper decks.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...no...Red...everyone else...this one is mine. Find Venerator and the siblings. *steps into view*
<Red_Fox> *comm* "You'd better be right about this."
* Seraphna changes her ammo as she watches Adam, seeing where the glvoe gets it's charge.
<Red_Fox> "Alright.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> CAn you handle him?
* Red_Fox starts back towards the upper decks
* `Kane taps Sera and motions, moving off with hhr, toward Katrina's comm location.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Oh yeah...besides...you need to find the bastard who started all this.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, heading back. Zephyr looks at Chad to see if he agrees.
<DeathStar> <Adam> Cass, Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, then heads out of the engineering section
* Red_Fox quickly takes the elevator towards the upper levels where the two are
* Chad`Winters looks at Adam then Cassandra. 1"She can handle him....
* Xanatos`Durran pulls himself up, wiping the blood off of his face, he just breaks into a run, though a hurt one.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I understand. Let us continue.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs Chad by the arm and leads him away.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Adam...Adam...
* Kio ends up moving behind Cassandra, glancing forward at Adam.
* Chad`Winters twists then follows along side her, keeping up with her pace.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: The Chaos is slowly becoming senseable. :P
<DeathStar> 6* Adam makes a come on motion to her. "I have to say, I've been waiting to do this."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So why have you not taken the injector?
* Red_Fox continues towards John's location, where-ever that is
<DeathStar> 6* Fox arrives, only to find John in a pool of blood, clasping his stomach. Erevis is gone.
<Chad`Winters> Because...I needed my strength beside me.
* `Kane would be right behind Fox, with Sera right behind him. "Damnit, she is gone."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Your strength? You needed to build your muscles?
<Red_Fox> "John... I'm sorry... I should never have left. Where's Kat?"
<DeathStar> <John> Ven...Venerator...took...her.. 6He manages to say.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head, a slight smirk on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides up behind Fox, eyeing John.
<Red_Fox> "Where?!"
* Seraphna kneels beside him and looks him over, "Come on, we've got to get you bandaged up."
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head, unable to tell.
* `Kane would assist Sera.
<Red_Fox> "Sera... thankyou."
<DeathStar> NRP: To help out....
* Red_Fox checks once more for Kat's comm
<DeathStar> NRP: Cass/Kio you go into #pax-season5session22
<Chad`Winters> NRP: How did she get fomr the air ducts to John?
* Xanatos`Durran comes running up to see John. "GOD DAMNIT!" He slams his fist into the wall. He glances around, seaarching hsi mind, "Where would he be?"
<DeathStar> NRP: Cass/Kio you go into #pax-season5session22-part2
<Chad`Winters> No, you Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* The comm ... is beside John.
<Red_Fox> "Well... I should've expected that."
<Red_Fox> "Damn it... where would he go once he has her...?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: We were there, I did the walking for her. including her with my actions.
<Red_Fox> "He has what he came for... damn!"
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Lock down the hangar!"
* Red_Fox rushes for the hangar.
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Don't let any other shuttles go!"
* Xanatos`Durran was already ahead of Fox, rushing for the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* John swallows hard, his vision blurring.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets up, looking John over once, then heads off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? I am your strength? How so? 6She tilts her head.
<Seraphna> "Let's get you bandaged, lay him flat...
<Seraphna> *she pulls out a field kit* Not too good, but I'll havr to do
<Chad`Winters> When I was lost, you were there to bring me back.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs Sera. "Just because I gave you a ride doesn't mean I think you're pretty..." 6He warns to Sera in a whisper.
<`Kane> Here. That bandage isn't large enough. *He pulls his shirt off and rips it so that it can be used as an effective bandage.
* Seraphna smiles, "That's fine, I'm already taken John. However, I don't like the idea of you dying."
* Xanatos`Durran slides into the hanger, he instantly looks toward his shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger...is empty except for two shuttles.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: his shuttle? He went toward it earlier.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, all the station's lights go off and emergency lights turn on.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She looks up as it goes dark, then red.
* Chad`Winters looks up as the station turns red.
<DeathStar> <Voice on Comms> I advise anyone who values their life to step off the station at this time.
<Seraphna> "...The heat, he's going to blow it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He would appear to be in the security room if he is shutting down systems.
<DeathStar> <John> That...that'll suck...
<Seraphna> "Let's get moving then."
<Red_Fox> "Can you keep the hangar locked down? I need to get to security."
<Chad`Winters> Then let's stop him now. *he turns runing towards the security room*
* `Kane glances at Sera as he finishes tightening the bandage on John, he lifts him up easily. "Come'on." He has obviously been working out. He momves towrd the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows after him.
* Red_Fox heads towards security once more
<Red_Fox> "DON'T let him out!"
* Xanatos`Durran watces Fox run off, he shakes his heead. Pulling up his comm, "Everyone to the hanger now!"
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Are you sure he's not willing to REALLY die for... hmmm... shall we test that?"
* Seraphna works with Kain to get John out of there, able to move in perfect timing with him, making the journey easy.
<DeathStar> 6* The security room is dark when Chad and Zephyr arrive.
<DeathStar> 6* once they reach the hanger, they can see two shuttles left. <John> Wait..we can't leave...until the others come..not enough shuttles..."
* Red_Fox searches the security room for the controls for the engineering systems
* Chad`Winters slows to a stop, eyeing the security room
<`Kane> I know. *he moves John into the shuttle that is not Xanatos' and sits him down, he steps back to the ramp. "We will have to wait on everyone."
* Xanatos`Durran stands there cross armed on his shuttle ramp, his shuttle is already waiting to take off.
<DeathStar> 6* The controls are all broken, it appears, except the main computer.
<DeathStar> 6* And even it's slightly damaged.
* Chad`Winters eyes Red Fox's carelessness for the situation
<Red_Fox> "So much for that... the place is going to blow whatever I do."
* Seraphna hits her comms, "Spade, get to the hangar."
<Seraphna> "Chad, you too, we need to get out of here now."
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms thinking.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Could the main computer help locate him?
<DeathStar> NRP: No.
<Chad`Winters> If he's not here....Second hanger perhaps?
<Red_Fox> "... damn it..."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a blast errupts from the side of the room, from the armory. Zephyr turns, then leaps in front of Chad, as the blast hits her and slams her into the wall
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his comm, "Darien, Warren, Fox, and anyon else, I will leave you if you aren't here soon."
* Red_Fox pulls out her saber. "So, you finally show yourself, traitor."
* Chad`Winters turns as the explosion goes off, a look of shock as Zephyr takes the blow for him
<Chad`Winters> ZEPHYR!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr falls over, damage sparking from her and blood running down her arm.
<DeathStar> 6* A shadow moves for the exit as Fox turns, already escaping.
<Red_Fox> "... keep her safe..."
* Red_Fox rushes after the shadow
* Chad`Winters runs over to her, sliding down beside her. 1"How damamged are you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Per-Perfectly fine. Ple-Please get him.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not leaving you Zephyr.
* Chad`Winters pulls her forward and places his arm around her, he tosses her arm around his shoulder and lifts her up
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at him. "Y-You're being silly..."
<DeathStar> 6* Fox arrives in the mess hall. It appears to be empty.
* Red_Fox looks around for anything out of the ordinary
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a shot heads for Fox. A hand grabs her and jerks her back. Warren and Darien are there.
<Red_Fox> "... nice save.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We do this together.
<Red_Fox> "Right."
<DeathStar> <Darien> One last hurrah.
<DeathStar> 6* John is in the hanger, holding onto Kane. "How..how is Kat?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Awww and here Durran is waiting.
<Red_Fox> "Lets get the bastard."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaps into the room, only to be hit by a psionic blast into the wall. He slides down it.
<`Kane> She is missing. *he glances down at John."
<Chad`Winters> I know...We need to get you to the shuttle. *he begins to lead her towards it*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, her hand extended, her head dropped, like a puppet. Venerator stands behind her, holding a ring. <Venerator> I told you to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides out, firing shots at them. Erevis throws out her hand and the shots are reflected. Darien leaps to the side.
<Red_Fox> "Do you really think we'd still obey you?"
* Ariel lands in the hangar, quickly departing her shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Stella, you cannot imagine the dangers out there.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm...fine, Chad. My damage is only minor.
<Chad`Winters> ....Then let us get him together.
<Red_Fox> "They can't be worse than you. You who'd lie to us all just to serve your own selfish ambition."
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his datapad, checking people locations.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "I understand."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems a mass are located at the mess hall.
* Red_Fox moves forward, standing ready
<DeathStar> <Erevis> R... run... 6She warns, throwing out her hand and slamming Fox backwards.
* Chad`Winters lets her stand on her own then checks his datapad, finding them he then begins running towards the messhall
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "Kane, Sera. Watch my shuttle." He dashes out toward the mess hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets to his feet.
* Ariel heads towards the party as quick as she can.
* Red_Fox slams backwards into the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The station shakes as the tilt becomes worse.
* `Kane arches a brow as Xan leaves. "I believe he found Kat."
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Stella. My ideals are becoming a reality. You should be with me instead of against me. Don't you want an end to all wars?
* Chad`Winters slides slightly towards the tilt. 1"The station's tilting...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires at Ven, but Erevis knocks it aside telepathically.
<Red_Fox> "Don't lie to me again. I'm through being your pawn."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Indeed. We need to head to the mess hall.
<Seraphna> Comm> "Spade, Chad, we are going to leave soon."
<DeathStar> <Comm: You may leave without me, if need be.
<Red_Fox> "And when a pawn reaches the edge of the board... it becomes a queen."
<DeathStar> NRP: Spade said that.
* Chad`Winters picks up his speed, as he pushes open a door leading into a stair well he taps. 1"I'm not leaving yet."
<DeathStar> <Venerator> And you fancy yourself a queen, Fox?
<Red_Fox> "Not yet. But maybe soon."
* `Kane wonders why he is still holding John he places him down in the shuttle, stepping back out. "People wish to fight."
<DeathStar> <Venerator> I do not want to harm you, Fox. Leave.
* Red_Fox circles around Venerator
<DeathStar> 6* Darien edges along the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves her hand, grabbing Fox and throwing her back against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs DArien and breaks his arm.
<DeathStar> (mentally)
<DeathStar> <Darien> ARGHHH!
* Red_Fox slams against the wall once more, but gets up again. "I won't give up."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien falls to his knees.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> You cannot win. This station is going down.
* Xanatos`Durran slides into the messhall. He narrows his eyes, pulling both of his pistols out. He stares at the puppet Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I... ...
<Red_Fox> "So are you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Chad arrive finally at the mess hall.
* Chad`Winters runs back into the hallway and sprints along the hallway towards the messhall
<DeathStar> <Venerator> I will escape.
<Red_Fox> "No, you won't."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis throws up her hands and begins to grab Warren, pinning him against the wall
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ven...my...ideals..will live on.. 6He aims his gun, or tries.
<Red_Fox> "You'll die here, even if I have to die to stop you."
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Is death and vengence your only recourse now Fox?
* Chad`Winters slides into the messhall, his hand reaches under to a thin throwing knife and flings it out towards Venerator's left shin
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops the knife, throwing it back at Zephyr.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up both pistols, he runs to the left firing at Venerator.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr knocks it aside with her good arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator moves behind Erevis, standing there.
<Red_Fox> "Maybe. Or maybe I can hold the ideals you betrayed."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Erevis, his first meeting with her since their last encounter
* Xanatos`Durran clicks his tongue. "You are a coward."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... shoot...over..whelm me..and kill us..both....
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dammit. I will not stoop to Venerator's level.
* Ariel enters from the opposite side of the room as Chad and Zephyr. She fires one shot. Aimed for an inch to the side of Venerator's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands, holding his broken arm.
<Red_Fox> "There has to be another way
<Red_Fox> ."
* Red_Fox stands up, clearing her mind once more... and then stealths, moving around Venerator
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator takes a deep breath. "And now the odds are in my favor." 6He holds up his hand and suddenly, Ariel's body is no longer her owns. She's aiming at Chad and firing.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ariels?
<DeathStar> NRP: ARiel is firing at Chad, yes.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: oh snap I missed her ocming in. :P
<Xanatos`Durran> God damnit what is she doing here!?
* Chad`Winters begins moving to the side, then twists his body as the shot fires at him, it singing his side, burning away part of his tactical suit
* Xanatos`Durran breaks off into a run toward Erevis.
* Red_Fox moves around Venerator... and then rushes him, saber ready, slashing at his hand
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ariel! 6She grabs her head, feeling dizzy herself.
* Ariel grits her teeth, trying to resist, but her body seems to move on it's own.
<Chad`Winters> Son of a....*he turns eyeing Zephyr* What's the matter?
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis moves her hand out at the last moment, barely able to stop Fox. IT seems she didn't sense her with her mind cleared until the last moment. Blood runs down Erevis' hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade drops from the ceiling, holding dual swords. "Checkmate."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade lifts a device. "I warned you, Ariel."
* Xanatos`Durran jumps into the air firing a volley of shots down over Erevis onto Venerator.
* Chad`Winters stares at her, his body tensing up. 1"...What's...wrong..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade hits a button.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I cannot..
<Chad`Winters> ....Fight it Zephyr...
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator puts his back to Ariel, facing Fox.
* Seraphna loses her eyes, feeling her formor pilot and Mother so close
* `Kane glances at Sera. "I should go. Try to help. You stay here and leave if no one else comes."
<Seraphna> (closes
* Ariel stumbles, as if hit by a ton of bricks.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Of course, I have toys of my mown.
<Seraphna> "Are you sure...? She's beomce the puppet."
* Red_Fox strikes again at Venerator, hoping to hit him this time, and not Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blocks the shot of Xan's.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then blocks Fox's strike. Ven's ring keeps glowing.
* Ariel regains her footing after a brief moment., igniting her blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade activates his dual blades. "Now. Before he notices."
* Xanatos`Durran falls down, close to Erevis, he stands he wraps his arms around Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is grabbed, jerking. "Le-LEt me go..before I..."
<Xanatos`Durran> Please, control yourself. *he whispers to her*
* Ariel swings her blade to sever Venerator's ring arm at the shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator roars in pain as his arm falls down. Zephyr collapses to her knees, taking deep breaths
<Red_Fox> "I'm ashamed that I ever thought anything good of you, 'Vennie'... but you're not so tough without your ring, are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis relaxes a bit.
<`Kane> I might be able to help. But I wont leave you if you don't want me too....
* Chad`Winters dashes over to Zephyr, sliding infront of her. He puts his hands on her shoulders.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator dives into the kitchen area, blood trailing form his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rushes after him.
* Red_Fox rushes after also
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles over to Ariel. "Are you okay...?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Heh. 6He smirks.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Wouldn't the energy cauterize it right away?
* `Kane pulls back from Erevis. "You..ok?"
<DeathStar> NRP: Mostly.
<`Kane> NRP: Xan did that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I... I am very angry. 6She notes.
<Xanatos`Durran> I think we should go take it out on the man who tried to control you.
* Ariel nods her head slowly, trying to steady herself. It's anger she's trying to surpress as much as anything else.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets up. "I'm sorry...Chad..I couldn't..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade looks around. "Well, let us go catch Venerator."
<Chad`Winters> Hey....It's ok...*he helps her up*
<Red_Fox> "For all my life... I thought the Ridarium were the monsters... it turns out we have worse in our own ranks."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Fox are already long gone after VEn
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator slides into a long hallway. As Warren roudns the corner, he fires a rail gun at him. Warren jerks to the side as it hits the wall, blowing it up completely.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Dammit. VENERATOR.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator stumbles back, leaving his aim ready.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis. "Or should we go check on John?"
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren ducks back into a side hallway, unable to advance.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... revenge. I cannot face John. 6She follows after Warren and Fox
* Chad`Winters sighs as if exhausted.
<DeathStar> 6* DArien grabs Ariel. "How did you beat his control?"
* Red_Fox stealths once more, and starts around the corridor
* Xanatos`Durran nods, moving behind her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans on Chad. "I almost killed you."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade moves after the others, arrogant as ever.
<Chad`Winters> Hardly...
* Ariel hesitates a moment, "I believe Spade has an answer for that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... he did something to you when he had you in his custody...and lied about it?
<Chad`Winters> I think I'm ready to take that shot....
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now?
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator fires at Fox, as if guessing she's there.
* Red_Fox moves towards Vennie cautiously, hoping not to be spotted or heard
* Red_Fox ducks back suddenly, as if expecting such
<DeathStar> NRP: If you get hit by the gun, instant death. AVod it.
* Ariel kneels down, removing the ring from Venerator's amputated arm. She looks down at it. "I believe 'neglected to mention', may be more accurate than lied."
<Red_Fox> "Damn... he's got better vision than I hoped."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We should catch up to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Durran catch up to Warren and Fox.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> I can see you, Fox.
* Red_Fox unstealths, looking to Erevis and Durran
* Xanatos`Durran notes them hiding around the corner. "Erevis, can you hold him in place?"
<Chad`Winters> I don't believe now would be the smart choice...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will gladly lead an assault on him if you desire.
<Red_Fox> "If you can stop him firing that gun..."
* Ariel nods and starts after the others. On the way she activates her comm, "Spade. Do you read me?"
<Red_Fox> "A deceiver is the worse kind of villain."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I'm here. 6He says from the hallway he's positioned in.
<Xanatos`Durran> Don't let him hit you, just hold him in plac and I can give him a spot in the brain.
<Chad`Winters> We should join the others...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaps out, holding up her hands to grab Venerator in place. He fires the gun at her before he's locked up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, holding her damaged arm as she moves forward.
* Chad`Winters follows wth her
* Xanatos`Durran arches his eyes aand dives forward to tackle Erevis out of the way.
<Ariel> *c* "Is that trick he used something that can be used more than once? On myself or Erevis?"
* Red_Fox winces, hoping neither is hit, and prepares to rush Ven once the shot's past
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is tackled, her grip dropping. They both hit the ground. Venerator, freed, aims at them and fires. Erevis looks up at Durran about to be shot, and steps forward, taking the impact as she holds out her hands to protect him
<DeathStar> 6* Once the impact occurs, the hallway shakes and the rail gun, smoking, falls to the floor
<Xanatos`Durran> NO!
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's arm twitches.
* Red_Fox rushes at Ven once more.. with no time to lose
<DeathStar> 6* Warren dives out behind Fox.
* Chad`Winters slides to a stop, eyeing his arm.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls himself up to look and see if the blast actually hit erevis or if she stopped it.
<DeathStar> <Spade> No longer on you. But I planted something in you to prevent it. I wanted Ven to think he had you trapped. Erevis ... yes. She can be controlled again.
<DeathStar> 6* The arm raises up to aim a gun at Zephyr's back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pants, no visible damage, but she falls over.
<Ariel> *c* "...thank you."
* Chad`Winters swings his other arm to grab it. 1"ZEPH MOVE!"
* Xanatos`Durran catches her, "Are...are you...ok?" he kneels down with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator grabs a gun and aims at Fox, firing.
* Cassandra_Arakawa rushes into the hangar!
* Kio comes moving into the hangar with a skidding halt.
* `Kane spots Cass and Ry. "Well 2 down...just 10 more to go." He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns to see him aiming his gun. She tilts her head. "You will not fire, Chad."
* Red_Fox spins to dodge
* Chad`Winters 's face tenses up as if fighting something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... used up too much energy..I fear...damn...humans..stopping my..transformation...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...where the hell is everyone else?!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren jerks to the side, then fires at Venerator.
<DeathStar> <John> ... urng...somewhere near the mess hall.
* Red_Fox rushes again while Ven's distracted
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... Sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator moves out of the way of Warren's shot, aiming at Fox at close range. He fires his gun.
* Kio stops near the shuttle. 14"Aw that's great.."
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "I'm sorry, I'll protect you." He pulls up his pistol and fires once at Ven, then he lifts Erevis up and moves to head back toward the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* The station rumbles ag ain
<`Kane> This place is going to hell. They'd best hurry or this place is going to explode.
* Red_Fox swings her sword to try to slice the gun, as she swings to one side, but if she takes Ven's hand, she doesn't mind
<Seraphna> Comm> "Alright, people, the station is going down, killing him or not, let's go."
<Chad`Winters> Grrrr.....
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator jerks back as he loses his gun.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Red_Fox> "You've lost, Vennie."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You never needed some injection to beat him, Chad. 6She holds out her hands to him.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Just take my hand, Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator falls to his knees. Warren leans over Fox, aiming his gun at her.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> And so it ends. Origin elludes me.
* Chad`Winters looks over at her, he lets his other hand free then reaches out and grabs her hand.
* `Kane presses a finger to his eaar, "Oh God...The Station is falling toward the colony!"
<Red_Fox> "... Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... yes.
<Red_Fox> "You'd really kill me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs his hand and hugs him again.
<DeathStar> NRP: Shit. I meant over her at Ven
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not in a million years.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Oh, LOL
<DeathStar> NRP: *Warren's gunned down on a typo*
* `Kane pulls up his comm, "Everyone, the station is plummeting toward the Europa colony!"
<Kio> NRP: <Warren> Oh well *shoots fox anyway*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at his comm. "God, no..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade arrives in the hanger, pointing at Sera
<DeathStar> <Spade> We're done here.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator takes deep breaths.
<Seraphna> "Good." *hits her cooms* "Kane, Chad, return at once, this isn't a request."
<Red_Fox> "I want to kill him for what he did... but vengeance won't solve anything."
* Ariel looks to Darien, "...is there time?"
<`Kane> NRP: Kane never left. :P
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll find out. 6He runs for the security room.
<Seraphna> NRP: x.x
* Xanatos`Durran is rushing toward the hanger with Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls back. "I'll leave his fate to you." 6He runs after Darien.
<Kio> 14"<Comm> Everyone get off your asses and move!!"
<`Kane> NRP: I decided not too. :P
* Chad`Winters grabs onto her hand, holding it tightly.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...we can't just let the sttaion hit the colony!
* Seraphna gets in and starts up the shuttle, "Let's go."
* Ariel sticks with Darien, not about to abandon him
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles at him. "See?"
* `Kane eyes Sera.
<`Kane> Are you serious?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sees the ruined controls, moving to the computer. "We'll activate the self-destruct and blow the station up before it hits."
<Seraphna> "I'm waiting till the last minute, but it would help if you were ready to leave."
<Red_Fox> "... ... my punishment to you... is living these last moments, knowing that the PAX you considered just a tool defeated you..."
<`Kane> What about the colony?
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator eyes her. "And so the student becomes the master."
<Chad`Winters> ....*lets out his breathe, sweat on his face* We should go...now.
<DeathStar> 6* John sees Durran arrive with Erevis. "Is KAt okay?"
* Red_Fox turns away, heading towards the hangar, finally smiling
<Xanatos`Durran> <Cole on Comm> Try to self desctruct the station before it goes down.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The control room. Ariel is there. 6She hurries.
<Seraphna> "The core was overloading when we left engineering..."
* Chad`Winters follows after her.
* Red_Fox rushes for the hangar now
* Cassandra_Arakawa goes to a console in the hangar and tries to activate the station's stabilizing thrusters facing the colony...trying to boost the station's orbit...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes how long until the station enters orbit and hits. 7 minutes . HE begins to load the self-destruct to be six minutes, then hits the timer. An error occurs. The server line for the self-destruct has bee ntaken out.
* `Kane rubs his face. "We could overl...*glances at his comm* Overload it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh God...
* Xanatos`Durran glances a John. "She's just tired." he moves onto his shuttle and sits Erevis down.
<DeathStar> 6* The station's thrusters fail. It seems all the damage caused has rendered the station inoperable.
* Red_Fox makes sure that the ring is not just lying on the floor as she passes through the mess hall
* `Kane looks to Sera. "Could we physically move it?" He is all serious.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes over Darien's shoulder. "There's a server disconnect? Then that means we have to send someone down to the reactor core to repair it."
* Cassandra_Arakawa tries to see if she can blow the exterior hatches remotely...
<Red_Fox> *comm* "How's everyone doing?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can't. All that heat earlier? Radiation. There's enough down in the core to kill even a Dragoon.
<DeathStar> 6* At this point, they would do no good either.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...I can't do anything here. We need to blow the damn station!
* Chad`Winters steps into the control room with Zephyr. 1"What if the dragoons fired a blast aimed directly at the core?
<Seraphna> Comm> "Chad, last time I'm saying this, we have to go now."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs his comm. "Everyone evacuate the station. We are self-destructing."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Right, everyone! We're pulling out!
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Already on my way."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I fear we don't have enough power unless we did it in the core room.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Okay, you all need to go. 6He orders them.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes those in the room with him.
* Xanatos`Durran makes sure his shuttle is ready and then eyes Erevis for a moment, he steps over to his ramp. "Get your asses on this ship now."
* Chad`Winters looks over at her. 1"There's no way you two can survive in there....6He looks at Darien
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Is there enough room on the shuttle?
* `Kane moves over to the shuttle with Sera. "Seems Darien took care of it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I can survive long enough to reactivate a self-destruct switch.
<Ariel> "...Darien..."
<Xanatos`Durran> Pile onto the two. We'll do what we can.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: 4 on kane's shuttle and 2 on Xan's currently.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers this, then looks at Ariel and Chad. "Please leave. ME and Warren will assist Darien until the last moment."
* Red_Fox heads into the hangar
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr. 1"I...No...
* Ariel shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ariel. Trust me. 6He says to her, glancing at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We have 5 minutes left. Not much time for debate, Ariel. Go on. I'll send Warren and Zephyr after you in a moment.
<Chad`Winters> ...*grabs Zephyr hugging her* Come back....
* Red_Fox gets into the shuttle, eyeing the people/lack of inside
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs him back with one arm.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Kio...let's evac... *boards a shuttle*
* Kio follows Cass onot the shuttle.
<Kio> *onto*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Youo are on Xan's cause I said so. :P
<Ariel> "I will not loose you this way."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *comm* Try to leave one shuttle behind guys, Pile into one if you have to do so.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Me or Cass? :P
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: all 3 of you.
* Chad`Winters stares into her eyes for a second than grabs Ariel. 1"Lets go.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Chad.
* Xanatos`Durran watches them come into his shuttle and nods. "Wheere is the rest of them?"
<Kio> 14"You heard him..one shuttle.."
<Red_Fox> *comm* Alright... please take care...
<Red_Fox> NRP: Darien is going the way of his namesake?
* Seraphna sighs, waiting on CHad.
<DeathStar> NRP: IT's an honor.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien begins to go to the armory, hoping one radiation suit was left. He begins to dig around in the rooms.
<DeathStar> 6* 4 minutes.
* `Kane rubs his hands together.
<Xanatos`Durran> 4 minutes....
* Chad`Winters drags Ariel with him, heading towards the Hanger room as fast as he can
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Zephyr share a look.
<Red_Fox> "How long can we wait...?"
* Ariel is not dragged.
* Kio moves from Durrans shuttle, notion for them to get all off and head onto Kanes.
<DeathStar> NRP: Dissed.
* Chad`Winters stares at her.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Kio?!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: YOu are a gay ass. *punts Kio*
* Xanatos`Durran eyes him. "What are you doing?
<Red_Fox> "Well... we're all to get on one shuttle, but..."
<Red_Fox> "Why not this one?"
<Kio> 14"He said to leave a shuttle behind for the ones to stay behind..Kane is still in his..and wont come to this one"
<Chad`Winters> ....*shakes his head, knowing there's no hope and runs down towards the hanger*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Sera, Kane amd Spade are in it.
<Red_Fox> NRP: * Everyone spends so long arguing which shuttle to take, they're still onboard when it blows up
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Oh and John.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out wiht the radiation suit
<Xanatos`Durran> Go get on Kane's shuttle, I'll wait for them.
<Ariel> "...take care, Chad." *looks to Darien* "...you've worn better."
<Xanatos`Durran> Take Erevis too.
<Red_Fox> "... alright... take care..."
* Xanatos`Durran motions for Cass to take her.
<Xanatos`Durran> Hurry.
* Red_Fox starts towards Kane's shuttle, helping carry anyone who needs it
* Kio grabs Erevis, and heads off to Kanes shuttle.
* Chad`Winters steps into the hanger.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, it'll work. 6* Warren pauses, then sucker punches Darien in the face.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drops and Warren hands him off to Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> Everyone onto one shuttle now.
<Ariel> "...Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I told you trust me. 6He grabs the suit. "Now get off you two."
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Everyone get on Kane's shuttle. Just trust me.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Chad. "I'll wait for them."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr throws Darien over her good shoulder.
* Cassandra_Arakawa nods and takes Erevis
* Red_Fox climbs onto Kane's shuttle and sits down
* `Kane is waiting for everyone to get in. Rubbing his hands together.
* Chad`Winters walks upto Durran. 1"Don't be stupid.
* Red_Fox looks over at Spade, surprisingly without anger or hatred for once
* Cassandra_Arakawa straps herself in.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not leaving anyone behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade eyes the time, looking perplexed why they are there.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hugs Zephyr once, then hurries off with the suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hands Darien to Ariel. "Hurry."
<Chad`Winters> Fine....*he turns then launches his hand out, nailing a nerve in his neck*
<Xanatos`Durran> Baasst...*slumps down*
* Ariel takes Darien, and nods. "Zephyr, do not do anything you will regret." She hurries to the shuttles.
* Chad`Winters leans down and picks up Durran, tossing him over his shoulders
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hurries after Warren toward the engineering room.
* Kio steps sits down on Kanes shuttle, strapping in.
* Chad`Winters carries him over to Kane's shuttle
<Red_Fox> "Sera... this doesn't have any of your 'upgrades' does it?"
* Red_Fox laughs a little
<Chad`Winters> Next time listen to me and I won't have to paralyze you.
<Seraphna> "Only the ones found on any shuttle."
* Red_Fox smiles
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Sera> Now for some coffee
<Xanatos`Durran> Fucker...*he breaths*
<DeathStar> 6* 3 minutes left.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Get us out of here...
* `Kane talks low in a comm, "WHo we waiting on?" He turns back to look at them.
* Ariel enters the hangar with Darien, looking to the shuttles.
* Chad`Winters steps up onto Kane's shuttle.
* Chad`Winters he turns eyeing Arie and Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* The one shuttle that is about to leave, and the one that is left behind for Zephyr/Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel should get on Kane's shuttle and escape.
* Chad`Winters waves the Ariel over, Xanatos slumping slightly
* Ariel hurries to that shuttle.
<`Kane> Come'on we only got a minute, lets go!!! *he screams to them*
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle shakes and the temp. leaps up another degree. It seems radiation is leaking up here.
<DeathStar> (Station)
* Chad`Winters turns back and into the shuttle, accidentaly hitting Xanatos head on the doorway
<Xanatos`Durran> If I coudl feel that I'd be pissed.
* `Kane closes the ramp once they are on and pulls up the shuttle, leaving quickly
<Red_Fox> "Lets go."
* Chad`Winters tosses Durran onto the ground then rolls him onto his stomach. He kneels beside him and slides his hand around Durrans neck, searching
* Seraphna sighs and hits the secondary controls, getting the shuttle's shield up
* Ariel fits Darien into a seat, if there's room, and then trys to find herself a place near him.
* `Cole has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes are closed and it appears she's either dead or unconscious. John has passed out with his hand on Fox's boobs.
* `Cole flies his shuttle away from the staatioin.
<DeathStar> 6* The station keeps falling downward.
* Red_Fox eyes John's hand, lifts it up, and places it down somewhere not touching her.
* `Kane is bringing his shuttle in behind Cole's.
<Red_Fox> "Even unconcious, he doesn't change."
<Xanatos`Durran> Hurry up. *he growls*
<DeathStar> 6* In 2 more minutes, the station will hit the colony. And only 1 more minute before the self-destruct
* Chad`Winters finds the spot and then jabs it hard. Seconds later Durran can feel everything again
<Chad`Winters> Next time I'll just leave it be.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade looks at Chad. "You are a new man, it seems, even without the injector."
* Xanatos`Durran pulls himself up and quickly slings his hand for Chad's nuts.
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Warren... it was great to know you... I'll always remember you."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Next day: <Fox> Who was Warren again?
<DeathStar> 6* 30 seconds until self-destruct.
* `Cole has thruster on full.
* `Kane does as well.
* Ariel just trys to concentrate on Zephyr. Praying her daughter will get them out alive.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Put as much distance between the station and us as you can...
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle boosts out of the hanger suddenly.
* Red_Fox smiles
<DeathStar> 6* 10 seconds until self destruction.
<`Kane> Way ahead of you....*he eyes the reading* Shuttle leaving the hanger*
* Chad`Winters turns, eyeing Spade, he says nothing in response
<DeathStar> 6* Spade just smiles, then adjusts a camera in his hand.
* Red_Fox waits... hoping Warren really does make it
* `Cole eyes the shuttle leaving the hanger, "A third shuttle just left the hanger." He loks back to Arhn and Shiva.
<DeathStar> <Spade> It would seem you are no longer a fugitive, nor am I.
<Red_Fox> "Glad to hear it."
<DeathStar> 6* The station explodes suddenly.
* Xanatos`Durran moves over to Erevis' side, he checks her vitals.
<DeathStar> 6* They are weak, but stable.
* Red_Fox looks over to Xan. "Is she alright?"
<Chad`Winters> I never liked the fugitive status.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade frowns, eyeing the explosion. "No...Sera. Kane!"
* Xanatos`Durran closes his eyes. "Yeah..."
<Seraphna> "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* A piece of the station flies out of the explosion, unharmed despite it. It continues to fall for the colony.
* `Kane glances Spade. "Oh god, the Colony."
<Red_Fox> "Damn it, it wasn't completely destroyed! Do we have guns on this thing?!"
* Seraphna comms the otehr shuttles, "We need to take oiut that debris..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Your dragoon gear form, Sera. Can you and Kane do it?
* `Kane glances at Spade. "We..well, yeah."

Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> <Spade> Then do it. 6He shifts to the door controls.
<Seraphna> "Though, opening the shuttle door ina vaccuum might be a bad idea."
<DeathStar> <Spade> You'll ahve to transform in space, though. Which means less than a few seconds.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: <Spade> I practice deep breathing.
<`Kane> We need to be quick then. *he moves for Sera.* We can do this.
<DeathStar> nRP: *they both die. Spade shrugs and points at Ariel* Your turn.

* Chad`Winters reaches over grabbing a rung
* Red_Fox grabs a rung also
* Xanatos`Durran holds himself down, also olding Erevis.
<Seraphna> "Course we can." *she gets ready, smiling, she moves out quickly, initiating the transformation before she pushes out.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade shoves the door controls, sucking them both out.
* `Kane goes with her, he goes to transform.
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Sera> *transforms inside the shuttle, killing everyone*
<DeathStar> 6* Spade then shifts as he's being pulled out with the air. He strains to hit the door controls agian before he goes out.
<`Cole> NRP: Spade just get sucked out?

<DeathStar> NRP: God himself.
<Seraphna> *god pilots!
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Kio...man the controls!
<Ariel> NRP: He better be a better pilot than DS
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Kevin Bell> *waves from the pilot's seat*
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<`Kane> NRP: I do the actions or sera?
<DeathStar> NRP: You both do it.
* Seraphna aims her gun, a much larger one, "Charging." Her voice goes off inside the cockpit.
* Kio gets up, and jumps into the pilots seat. He pulls up on the controls, and gaining a little room betweem them and the debris.
<DeathStar> NRP: You can control movements, her weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade looks at them both. "I could have sworn you hated me."
* `Kane nods and moves Sera closer so that the shot has a higher rate of succes. "Inform me when at Maximum charge."
<DeathStar> 6* 10 seconds.
<Red_Fox> "Well, you can be an ass at times, but you don't deserve to die."
<Seraphna> "Charge reached..."
<DeathStar> 6* 5 seconds.
* `Kane eyes the time. He fires.
<DeathStar> 6* The piece of the station lights up in a bright light
<DeathStar> Session Pause
<DeathStar> Stardate: Shortly After
<DeathStar> Location: Europa Colony
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone has safely landed. The Warren/Zephyr shuttle landing last, albeit, roughly.
* Kio steps off the shuttle, glancing over at the other shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran sits by Erevis' side.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis weakly leans on the shuttle, taking deep breaths as she recovers. John sits around, talking to Fox about his awesome penis
* Seraphna landed in gear form, apparently not changing back jsut yet, "Ummm... I'm going to need something to wear..."
* Chad`Winters stands there, waiting for the other shuttle to open
<DeathStar> 6* Spade crosses his arms, then shakes his head with a smirk.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds his head. "Warren..Zephyr? What happened...?"
<Red_Fox> "Talk to me again when you're feeling better."
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flops open by Warren's hand. He frowns a bit.
* Red_Fox then steps out, to watch the disembarking of Warren's shuttler
* `Kane laughs a bit, "We'll stay in this form for a minute."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren. 1"Warren...Where's Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... .... she... sucker punched me...before I got into the engineering rom...
<Red_Fox> "..."
* Chad`Winters pauses, his face going pale.
<Red_Fox> "Damn... and I even got to say goodbye..."
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren leans back, his face blank as he leans against the shuttle wall. He glances in at the shuttle, where Zephyr is unconscious at the pilot seat.
<Ariel> "...Warren suckpunched you, Darien."
* `Cole stands by his shuttle wth Shiva and Arhn. He lowers his head, "...."
* Chad`Winters a look of relief flushes across his face
* Kio glances at Zephyr. 14"..will she live?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, glancing at Zephyr. "Is she okay?"
<Seraphna> "...Kane?"
<Xanatos`Durran> You going to be ok? *he glances at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Warren> IF she... she went in there...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will live.
<`Kane> Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the President shuttle lands near them.
* Arhn covers her face with her hand, shoulders trembling...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the shuttle, shaking her head. "A shame. All of this a shame."
* Ariel gets up, "...I need to check on my daughter." She heads to the other shuttle, trying to hide the tears building in her eyes.
* Chad`Winters quickly move over and onto the shuttle beside Ariel. She moves up nexto to Zephyr.
* Red_Fox winces, following Ariel somewhat, though ready to back off if Ariel wants to be alone
<Xanatos`Durran> What do you mean? *he glances at Erevis.*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's arm still looks bloody from being shot and it appears to be a worse wound than she let on.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...well...was the last real home I'd had in a while...
<Seraphna> "Have your coat ready..."
* Seraphna shifts back, hiding behidn Kane
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. I merely feel sorrow for you all. What sort of world is this?
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Cran steps out in his suit. He walks over.
* `Kane turns around instantly, wrapping his coat around Sera.
* `Kane smiles, "You did brilliantly."
* Red_Fox looks back from the door to Cass. "Same.."
* Red_Fox then looks to Erevis. "It can be a cruel world... but I believe that we can make it better."
* Ariel does her best to keep a straight face, carefully taking Zephyr from the pilot's seat.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets quiet, eyeing the scene taking place.
<Xanatos`Durran> A screwed up one. *he shrugs*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's eyes open. "Ariel?"
* Kio moves to glance at John. 14"....mind you and I talk for a second?
* Red_Fox looks over to Zephyr, hearing the voice
* Chad`Winters moves over to a medkit pack and pulls out some bandages, he moves back over to Zeph and begins taking care of her wound.
<DeathStar> <John> Shh. 6He says, holding up a hand to watch what's happening. He looks very concerned.
* Ariel smiles a little, "Hello, little one."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did he blow up the station?
* Kio sighs, and just goes back to watching.
* Red_Fox nods to Zephyr
<Ariel> "Did who blow up the station...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Red_Fox> "Though... I thought Warren said you did..."
<Kio> 14"..I noticed Darien isn't with you.."
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Chad`Winters> .....If it was neither of you....It had to have been Venerator.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was about to do it when Venerator cut me off. He said...after talking with Akai, he realized how wrong he was about everything. He asked to be given a chance to make it right.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ariel brought Darien with her.
<Kio> NRP: Oh lol
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...damn! *pounds her fist into the side of the shuttle*
<Kio> NRP..how'd I miss that...
* Chad`Winters finishes tieing off the bandage wrapping.
<Red_Fox> "... Vennie... you did good in the end..."
* Seraphna smiles softly and hugs her boyfriend, smiling, "We did well."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So I took Warren and ran. I must have passed out at the controls. 6She looks tired.
* Ariel nods slowly, and hugs Zephyr, "He did indeed."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran listens to Zephyr, shaking his head once. "Vennie."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at chad, smiling. "Hi."
<Chad`Winters> You've lost a lot of blood....You lied to me about your condition Zephy...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry. 6She gives him a faint smile.
<Arhn> ...Warren...are you alright? *moves to Warren, looking a touch ill*
<DeathStar> 6* John wipes at his eyes. "That was cool."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm fine. Thank to Zephyr. 6He walks down the ramp, smiling at her.
* Seraphna walks over to her father, holding the coat over herself.
* `Cole glances at Shiva with his arms crossed.
<Arhn> It feels like its been the end of everything...
<DeathStar> 6 *Cran hugs Sera. "It's over. No more fighting with your dragoon relatives."
<Red_Fox> "That closure I said I needed... it's finally come."
* Seraphna smiles softly and hugs him back, "Good... things can finally become sane now..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. 6He looks up at the sky, the remains of the station falling down like fireworks. "It is over. We may all move onto new things, but this moment...this was PAX."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles at Ariel and Zephyr, glad it all worked out.
* Red_Fox looks to Warren. "You're right."
* `Kane stands, there looking relieved. He is inded shirtless though.
<Chad`Winters> It's alright. *he rustles her hair*
* Kio glances at John again, shaking his head.
<Red_Fox> "I'd like to think that someday, PAX will return."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran pats her on the back. "I'll be in the car. My place isn't here." 6He smiles, moving over to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I guess I'll go back to my old job. 6He laughs.
<Arhn> ITs time to build something better...
<Red_Fox> "Want a hand?"
<DeathStar> NRP: That to Arhn or Darien?
<Chad`Winters> I think...I'm ready for a vacation...
<Red_Fox> NRP: Arhn
<Arhn> A hand is always welcome.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, glancing at Erevis. "You proved yourself today. You should come work with me again."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis.
* Seraphna smiles and puts her hand on Chad's shoulder, "I think we all are..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... find out the truths? Detect deception?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's the idea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I accept.
* Chad`Winters grabs Sera's arm, lifting it off.
<Kio> 14"Well..hell"
* Xanatos`Durran frowns lightly, but turns his head so she wouldn't see.
* Ariel lets Zephyr down, and regains her feet, "...he wasn't the monster we thought he was, it seems."
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Sera> Good job my limbs are replacable.
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads into one of the shuttles and brings up the millitary network, checking everyone's reassignments.
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren smiles for once, though it's faint. He looks at all of them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra has been reassigned back to Earth Investigation, Darien's department.
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone else is pending, since many have indicated a desire to quit
* Red_Fox puts into her datapad a request to leave earth military, intending to move to Erus
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Durran. "...."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unlike you, I will state my mind. You should come with me. You are not so bad to be around.
<Seraphna> "Oh come on, we're family now Chad."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Erevis. He smiles at her, "It isn't my choice. It's Darien's."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I like to believe we are all capable of good.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hell, I'd love to have you with me, Durran.
<Red_Fox> *to Zephyr* "I believe we are."
* `Kane stands there with his arms crossed, glancing around at everyone.
* Xanatos`Durran has left #taw
<Red_Fox> "In fact, I believe that today proved that."
<`Kane> NRP: Shit.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stretches. "I will return to Janus now that my innocence has been proven."
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> You're more of a half-sister to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade nods to Ariel, giving her a sign of respect.
<Xanatos`Durran> You serious?
<Red_Fox> "Good luck, Spade."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. I'm sorry about what happened on the planet Erevis. If I had known... well. We can all go "What if". But I am sorry. And I'd like to work with you.
* Ariel bows her head deeply to Spade.
* Cassandra_Arakawa steps out of the shuttle and walks on over to Darien.
<DeathStar> <Spade> And to you, Fox. May you find your ideals a reality. 6He turns, moving to the shuttle.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Sir, looks like I'll be under your command again.
<Seraphna> "Still your sister."
* Xanatos`Durran extends his hand. "Deal."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes Durrna's hand, smiling. He looks at Cassandra. "Indeed. You're the best XO a person could have around."
<`Kane> Hey Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns to look at Kane.
<Chad`Winters> Hardly. *he turns looking at everyone*
* Kio moves to turn around, heading for the shuttle.
<`Kane> We'll be seeing you I hope?
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's datapad beeps with a job offer.
* `Cole glances at Shiva. "Will you return to the Cartel?
<DeathStar> <Spade> Heh. Every day, I imagine. With Cran busy being president, someone has to run Janus. 6He gives him a smirk.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Of course, while I wait for other things.
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad.
* Chad`Winters taps it, reading the message
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands beside Cass, Erevis, and Xanatos.
* `Kane smiles, "Then I guess I should do this." He pulls up to salute. "Sir."
* Kio stops near John, handing him a note. 14"Read it when we disperse.."
<Chad`Winters> ....Zephyr...*his voice is solemn* Do you trust me...
<DeathStar> 6* Spade laughs once short time. "Nah. You're an equal of your own, Kane. You stayed in everyone's shadow only to prove you were more than capable. I respect that."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* John takes the note, giving him an eyebrow.
* Chad`Winters he leans over to her whispering something in her ear.
* `Kane nods, "Thank you."
* Arhn nods and approaches Shiva.
<Red_Fox> "Kio, is that about Kat?"
<Arhn> We will keep in touch, of course?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head. "I see. Are you going to be happy there?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Of Course.
<Arhn> To the future then.
<Chad`Winters> If not....I can always quit, no?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks over to look at Ariel. He rubs his broken arm. "Well, it seems today was a big surprise."
* `Cole smiles to Shiva. "I will see you too the Cartel, then I will be off."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands off to the side, watching the events. Everyone workign together. Peace.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> True. 6She smiles at him.
<Kio> 14"By the way..you are a dense man"
* Ariel shakes her head slowly, "After... after all this, I'm still going to have to go home and help pack." She smiles a little.
<DeathStar> <John> I am?
<DeathStar> <Darien> A new home to look forward to. I'll be sure to drop in on you from time to time.
<Kio> 14"Yes"
<DeathStar> 6* John looks blank. "Why?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Most of the others are pending reassignment...you know...with all the talk of resigning. *walking with Darien*
<Chad`Winters> You'll keep in touch with me, right?
<Kio> 14"Once you read the note..you'll know why"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course.
<Ariel> "I will look forward to it. It'll be a lot of work, but you are always welcome."
* Seraphna walks over and hugs Spade, "I'm glad you're free."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade hugs her back. "Thanks. I'm glad to see you've grown up even more."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles at Ariel, then looks at Cassandra. "I know. I figure they'll move onto other things."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I will miss you, Chad Winters. 6She says to him.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well...before we head off, I have to sya my good byes.
<Chad`Winters> You only say that to someone you don't expect to see again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mm. 6He glances at Kio. "I imagine so." 6He gives Cassandra a friendly smile.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see then. "Until next time Chad Winters".
* Xanatos`Durran stand there with Erevis, happily.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks a little sad. "But it won't be the same without having you around every day."
* Red_Fox wanders over to Kio and John
* `Kane stands there with Sera, happily.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him. "You are pleased with yourself."
<`Kane> Not just myself.
<`Kane> nRP: Xan did that....
<Chad`Winters> Then I shall call you atleast once daily.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<Red_Fox> "Kio... if that note really is what I think... thankyou."
<DeathStar> 6* John wanders off with the note.
<Kio> 14"Anyway..I suppose it's about that time I leave.."
* Seraphna kisses his cheek, "I'll be glad with you in charge of Janus, William."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'll meet up with you later, sir.
<DeathStar> <Spade> So will I. 6He says arrogantly.
* Ariel leans back against the shuttle, looking up to the sky, "You know. Prehaps you were right on some levels about that circle thing, Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to her, then looks at Ariel. "Oh?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads over to Kio.
* Chad`Winters reaches out giving Zephyr another hug
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts her good arm around him.
* Kio turns to look at Cassandra, smiling.
* Ariel nods a little, "It is no longer a posibility for me to wear that dress ever again."
* Red_Fox stands back a little
* `Cole moves over and pats Kio on the shoulder, whispering into his ear before he moves over to where Shiva is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You did look very good in it.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis gives him an odd look.
<Ariel> "Then, like PAX, it will remain a memory to hold onto."
<Red_Fox> "It'll be a shame to see everyone go."
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm happy for everyone. So much hate and pride...dropped. I'll be right back. *he moves over to Warren*
<Seraphna> "I need to go have a family moment, you buys have fun."
<Seraphna> *boys
* Kio nods at Cole.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah it will. 6He smiles at her. "It seems time is running out for all of us as a group. I wish it could have lasted longer."
* Red_Fox glances at Xan as he makes that comment and nods slightly
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren, who had turned to walk off, glancing at Durran as he approaches.
<Red_Fox> "I hope we can keep in touch."
* Seraphna heads over to Ariel and Zephyr
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hey...fancy seeing you in aplace like this.
* Ariel lowers her view from the sky as Sera approaches.
<Xanatos`Durran> Warren. You owe me a shuttle.
<Kio> 14"So..I take it you got reassigned?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smirks, rubbing the back of his head.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yeah....got sent to Darien's investigation unit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do I?
* Chad`Winters leans down kissing Zephyr on the forehead than walks off.
* Red_Fox smiles.
<Kio> 14"Congradulations..shame you won't consider coming with me though.."
* Xanatos`Durran motions to his shuttle that is pretty much screwed. "I blame you."
<Red_Fox> "Yeah, we'll miss you."
* Seraphna smiles softly to Ariel, then Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. I will consider giving you a toy shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran smirks, "Keep in touch with me old friend. This was one hell of a ride, but I have no regrets."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr watches Chad go, a sort of longing on her face, then she looks at Sera, bowing her head.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Take care of him.
<Seraphna> "I will... sis..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives her a smile.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Away
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well...you know...my body is government property and all that.
* Seraphna smiles back, "I'm sorry for everything... you can now all be truely free..."
<Kio> 14"Excuses" 2He smiles. 14"But I wish you the best.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I told you that would be going places.
<Ariel> "I hope you've revised your beliefs since last time?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hey, you visit me and I bisit you...ok?
<Seraphna> "I think we all have... I see now why things had to happen... I..."
<Kio> 14"Sure"
* Seraphna looks down
<Red_Fox> "I will too."
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "You didn't lie. You take care. I will be seeing you."
<Seraphna> "I know I'll always be an outsider to the Dragoons... and I understand why."
<DeathStar> <Warren> And I bet I will be seeing you. 6He shoves his hands into his trench coat pockets, turning to look at Arhn again, standing there as the wind blows by.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I suppose you will be going home to Erusia to prepare for your new alliance.
* Ariel just rests a hand on Sera's shoulder and shakes her head.
* Arhn approaches Warren once more...
* Xanatos`Durran moves away, back to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at the sky, watching the remaining bit of station fireworks.
<Seraphna> "I'm sorry Mother..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...and...thanks for last night. I mean...my last memories of PAX station...being the joy of a marathon sex run and all...welll...you know how I am.
<Arhn> Yes, I will. And yourself?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. My old life is over now. I suppose I have to find a new one.
* Kio moves to embrace Cassandra once more, and draws her into a passionate kiss. It lasts only moments, before he pulls back a few inches. 14"I'd like to think we have more then just a sex marathon"
* Red_Fox glances over to Arhn and Warren
<`Kane> Fox.
* `Kane steps up to Stella.
<Red_Fox> "Kane. It's been a while.."
* Ariel gives Sera a hug, "We all need to look to the future, after this."
<Arhn> And are you certain that you do not wish to accompany me?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along back towards the shuttle.
* Seraphna blinks in surprise, hugging back
<Seraphna> "Alright..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you want me by your side? 6He asks her carefully.
* `Kane nods, "It was good to see you again."
* Ariel then hesitates, "...which means I may have to talk to your father about some things."
<Red_Fox> "Yeah.. for me too."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...you take my breath away.
<Red_Fox> "What are you going to do after this?"
<Arhn> Always...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then I'll be by yourself. 6He pulls one arm free from his trenchcoat and gives her a hug
<`Kane> I'll be with Sera. Always. *he smiles* So Janus is my home now.
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, by yourselF?
<DeathStar> NRP: By your side
<`Kane> NRP: Lol.
* Red_Fox nods. "Good luck."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then I'll be by your side. 6He pulls one arm free from his trenchcoat and gives her a hug
<Kio> NRP: WARREN HUGGED, THE WORLDS ENDING!!!
<Ariel> NRP: *BOOM*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves up the shuttle ramp. Erevis takes a moment, then follows.
<Red_Fox> "I'm going to Erus, to help Arhn bring peace."
<Kio> 14"I'm not sure about you..but I will remain loyal..and loyal to you only...."
<Red_Fox> "Keep in touch, okay?"
<Arhn> I'm so glad...
* Ariel looks to Sera, "I will be one moment." She hurries towards the shuttle.
<Seraphna> ""Some things...?"
<Seraphna> "Oh... okay..."
* Xanatos`Durran moves up after Erevis.
* Seraphna waits there, scratchig her head gently
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to look behind him as if he senses Ariel.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You know me...just a tease.
* `Kane nods, "Take care of yourself, Stella."
<Red_Fox> "You too."
<Kio> 2Smiles 14"Of course..they can only look..I can only touch.."
<Ariel> "Were you thinking you could take off without saying anything?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I thought I'd be all dramatic and mysterious. 6He walks down the ramp to stand in front of her.
* `Kane moves over to Sera. "I think it is our time to go."
<Ariel> "For that, I believe you would need a mask. Or atleast a cloak."
* `Cole has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You got it. *kisses Kio*
<Ariel> NRP: Now... with everyone going seperate ways... do we have enough shuttles? =P
<Seraphna> "Mom said she'd be right back... let's wait a little bit."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If I had a mask, I don't think I could do this . 6He leans in and kisses her gently on the lips, then pulls back. "Goodbye, Ariel. I'm a better man just for knowing you."
<Seraphna> "Sides... we're taking Dad's ride."
* `Kane nods, "Alright."
<Arhn> Well, we should find some accomodations until transport arrives.
* Ariel returns the kiss, "You will keep in touch."
* Kio responds by kissing back, with every bit of his being..he wanted her to remember this moment..as his emotions for her pushed to the surface..kissing deeper then first expect. One hand moved up to the side of her cheek, embracing her lightly
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, definitely. 6He gives her a tight hug, holding her close.
* Xanatos`Durran watches everyone, his face falls a bit sad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It'll give me something to look forward to in the future.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis glances up at him. "You miss her."
* Ariel laughs slightly, "Then I believe I will need a new dress." She hugs, "Take care of everyone."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her and nods, "I'll be ok though. Don't worry about me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And you take of yourself and Zephyr.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> "...take care." *after finally breaking the kiss*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches out and holds his hand, but keeps her blank look as she looks out at the others.
* Kio nods to her. 14"You too.."
* Ariel nods. She reluctantly steps back, and then bows.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Cole> *seemed to have left with Shiva a while ago*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Don't be a stranger, buster.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at his his hand. He glances up at her, then turns to look strait ahead. He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You never know what the future may bring, Xanatos Durran. Despite all your deception, you all are capable of something more ... noble.
