<DeathStar> Stardate: Later that same day
<DeathStar> Location: One of the hospital tents
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos, isolated to a tent alone to have his broken arm/jaw repaired, has finally been released by the time Darien walks in. "It's not the best job, but it'll do until we get you home for some real treatment."
<Xanatos> NRP: And ribs!
<Xanatos> Like i'm worried about me. *he notes while pulling his shirt back on*
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're worried about her. 6He notes, leaning against a makeshift table.
<Xanatos> Nice work there sherlock. *he notes sourly*
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is a very delicate situation, Xanatos. 6He notes, rubbing the lower part of his face. IT's obvious something's been going on since Xan came in here.
* Xanatos arches a brow as he glances at Darien. "What happened?" He says instantly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> A few doctors tried to see the extent of the ... damage Vox caused Erevis. She broke two of their arms without so much as lifting her hand. They got the idea she didn't want to be touched or bothered by anyone rather quickly.
* Xanatos lowers his head. "All my progress...ruined by that monster."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This ... is a very delicate situation. I got a glance at her face. I haven't seen a stare that blank since those 4 days she spent in your room back on the station before you had her begin to interact with the crew. It was the same blank stare.
* Xanatos rubs his face slowly. "I don't know what i'm going to do." He says with a sigh. "I...3 months down the drain..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I can't begin to claim to know what an attempted rape victim is thinking, especially one such as Erevis, but I do have some theories. I think she might be overcompensating for her weakness and trying to get control back. She might see all human emotions, frailities, etc. as a weakness she's trying desperately to get rid of so she can feel powerful again.
* Xanatos doesn't say anything for a long time, thinking. "Great." He says finally, not really having anything else to say. WHat can he say?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Also, once again speculation, if you go in there and try to show her comfort, kindness, treat her any differently than you normally would, she might see that as you treating her definitely because of her failure and it might compound the problem more - make her feel even more vulnerable and weak. And in contrast, if you go in there with authority and try to exert control, she could see it as a challenge and she might hurt you.
<Xanatos> NRP: challenge and
<DeathStar> <Darien> The only time she kneeled to you was when we all beat her on that planet, and I partly think she quit because she wanted to do so, perhaps out of curiousity, perhaps because of having some of Kat's memories. She might seriously hurt you this time.
* Xanatos sighs. "It's a risk I have to take. You know that." He says, his eyes falling onto Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's one more thing.
* Xanatos waits for him to continue.
<DeathStar> <Darien> After we took Erevis in back on the station, I was scanning her. At first, I noticed she was trying to restore power cells - but at the rate she was doing it, would have taken years, so I wasn't concerned. And when you guys joined the new unit a month ago, I noticed she had stopped altogether except to replace energy using during a mission. Now...I scanned her and noticed she's trying to restore so much power (cont)
<DeathStar> <Darien> That she might succeed in a few months. However, Katrina's body can't handle it, I think. It'll more than likely burn out before she could do it.
* Xanatos frowns. "....What can I do Darien? This is much bigger than me. I almost had her normal before. But after this..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. 6He admits. "I think she's very dangerous now, though. As much as I hate to suggest it, we might have only one option in the end."
* Xanatos stares at him. "You had that option months ago. You could have very well ended it all. But you chose not too. To interested in her connection to your precious origin." He notes in disdain.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You think that's why I didn't kill her? 6He asks, raising an eyebrow.
<Xanatos> You sure wasn't worried about Katrina. Sending her into that hellhole. *he eyes Darien*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods his head once. "Sometimes I pity your lack of insight. Perhaps Erevis is more wise in that department." 6He turns and simply walks out.
* Xanatos stands and follows him. "Yes, yes. Make fun of the idiot. But you knew that something was up. You knew that Vennie wanted her there for a reason and you were just too curious to say no."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whirls around, grabbing him by the shirt and slamming him back. "Katrina was my friend too, you self righteous prick. You don't think I wish I could get her back. I didn't do anything to Erevis because I hoped that we could get Katrina back for you, you goddamn brat. And when I saw your feelings for Erevis, I did nothing further since I thought perhaps you had made a new friend." 6He shoves him back, letting him go.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But don't you dare judge how I feel about what happened on that situation. 6He snarls.
* Xanatos just smirks. "You stopped because of me? You did all of this? Just for little ol me? My feelings for Erevis are nothing compared to what I had for Katrina! Yes. I made a new friend. I saw the power she had, and the lack of guidance. I had to help her see what living really was, no one else seemed to give a damn!" He pushes Darien off of him and moves to walk away.
<DeathStar> <Darien> One day, Xanatos, you're going to get your biggest goddamn wish - you're going to get the chance to get Katrina back. And I'll love to see how self-righteous you are when that moment comes. 6He spins and walks for his shuttle.
* Xanatos slides to a stop and glances back at Darien. "You're a sad person." He says, spitting at the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* A few of the aliens that they helped get their planet back stares at Xanatos as he walks by. Most are avoiding a second medical tent, most likely where Erevis is at.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says nothing, getting onto his shuttle
* Xanatos slides to a stop in front of Erevis' medical tent. He stares at the door for a moment, wondering if this is smart.
* Xanatos sighs after a moment and then steps inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is standing in the middle of the room, wearing a black bodysuit that covers even her neck. Her eyes are closed as she stands there, her arms dangling to her sides, her face lacking any emotion. Her pale skin is flushed, as if running a fever.
* Xanatos stands there, he looks her over for a moment. "I see you're up." He says after a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't seem to acknowledge his presence.
<Xanatos> So am I too unworthy to talk to you now? *he tilts his head, his voice remaining as calm as it always is with Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Leave me. 6She says simply, still not opening her eyes or glancing in his direction
<Xanatos> Why? I feel we should talk.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have nothing to discuss with you.
<Xanatos> Oh? Nothing at all? *he crosses his arms*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing again, letting her silence be her answer.
<Xanatos> I'm sorry. *he says after a moment, his shoulders sink.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not need your apologies. 6She says, her eyes opening finally, almost dangerously.
<Xanatos> So this is how it's going to be? I tried to be a friend to you and you throw me aside like waste?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not need such human ideals. 6She notes to him.
<Xanatos> Ah. You i'm talking to God Erevis now. I guess your days of being a kind person are over. *he says with a nodding frown*
<Xanatos> NRP: -You
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She says in the same monotoned voice.
<Xanatos> It's a shame. Did you feel you were weak otherwise?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6She repeats again.
* Xanatos nods sadly. "Human's are weak. I'll agree. And what happened was definitely an unforgivable thing. But do you think I ever give up, back down, or go running or hiding to a place more comfortable whenever times get tough?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis's twitches very slightly, her left hand clenching.
<Xanatos> You're not weak. *he says, as if not even noticing her twitch* Least the Erevis I knew wasn't.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not weak. 6She says tensely, the first real emotion in her voice since the conversation began.
<Xanatos> I know. I just said that. You're one of the strongest people I know. *he says with a nod to her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, her hand uncliching. She closes her eyes again, going back to her power recharge.
<Xanatos> What do you plan on doing with all that power?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is of no concern of yours.
<Xanatos> Pretty sure it is. *he says withouot hesitation*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no intention of telling you my plans.
<Xanatos> If their anything like your original, i'm sure it involves the deaths of countless innocent.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes again. Yes. This time she's made him angry. "You believe my plans involved the deaths of countless innocents?"
<DeathStar> (he's made her)
* Xanatos shrugs. "Nah not really. But if I have to say something farfetched to get you to treat me like a person, then i'll do so. Y'know, I just don't understand how everything that we worked for, the strong friendship we made, was all for naught."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is weakness. Everything about you humans is weakness. I do not need weakness.
<Xanatos> Hmph. You're a broken record. *he notes* All you care about is power. It makes me sad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then leave.
<Xanatos> But I want to stay. It's boring out there. And you know how I am with boredom.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She stands there, eyeing him blankly, not moving to throw him out, but not moving to talk to him.
* Xanatos moves over to sit down, he stares at the ground before looking up at her. "Sometimes I wish I were stronger too." He says to her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And yet you abhor power.
<Xanatos> Ah. But I don't want power to control, or conquer.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is quiet again, recharging her power cells quiet, her eyes never moving off Xan, as if watching him for any sudden moves.
<Xanatos> I always wished for power so I could protect others. So things that have happened. Wouldn't have had too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then perhaps you should get some power. 6She notes quickly.
<Xanatos> Hmph. It isn't that easy. Power is something that no one person should have too much off. Not even you. I once read somewhere that with great power comes great responsibility. And no one has enough responsibility.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hmph.
<Xanatos> You don't agre?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It depends on who weilds the power.
<Xanatos> I'm afraid you're wrong. Power taints. Power never brings anything but more trouble. Most wars were fought over a lust for power. Power is worthless, and is only gratifying until someone rises up and strips it away.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<Xanatos> I care for you Erevis. And I don't want to see that happen to you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
* Xanatos stares at her, figuring she'll probably break his arms now, or worse. But he doesn't move.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains quiet, just staring at him. She shows no emotional signs or physical signs of reacting to his comments, almost as if she never heard them.
* Xanatos sighs. "You think you can do it all alone? Whatever it is that you plan to do..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am alone. 6She states flatly.
<Xanatos> So says the person that shuts out people that try to help.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not need your help.
<Xanatos> I don't care if you need my help. I'll still give it no matter what. That's what friends do. They help each other. I thought I taught you that. I...I...just want you to see that reverting back to this Godly stage wont make the pain go away. *he voice cracks, and his tone is weak* It takes time, it takes finding someone that can show you compassion.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Pain? 6She says finally. "I am not in ...." 6She stops, unable to finish her words. "Go. Away."

* Xanatos frowns, "I...want to stay. I'll be quiet now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mentally shoves him from his sitting position, knocking him back. "GO AWAY." 6She shouts, her voice twisted in pain and anger.
* Xanatos holds up his hands. "Ok. Ok. I'm leaving. But I know that you know that I want nothing more than to help." With that he turns to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing, waiting for him to completely leave the room.
* Xanatos sighs once again, stepping outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis wraps her arms around herself, as if cradling herself. She turns her back on the entrance to the tent, closing her eyes again, as if not wanting to see the world. Outside, a few of the natives stare Xanatos, hearing the shouting form inside the tent.
* Xanatos looks at them, and moves his arms just to show them they still work. With a scowl he starts back for his own tent.
<DeathStar> -End-

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.2.5
<DeathStar> Location: Earth Home
<DeathStar> 6* After repairing Xanatos' wounds and getting Erevis actually off the planet, the team returned home. However, Xanatos left immediately upon arrival, Darien stormed off in a huff, and Erevis moved to her room alone, without speaking a single word. And so, night has passed into morning, and Cass and Setsuna would find that Erevis is still in her room, and Xan has shown no signs of returning
* Setsuna` has no real ailments of her own. But she's not blind to the tension in the air. She cracks open a can, trying to drown out the feeling.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What's with everyone's moods? *spoken as she heads down the stairs*
* Setsuna` shrugs, "No clue. But these people are downers lately."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm heading out for my morning jog.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens, unlocked. Darien steps inside, looking like he hasn't slept - his hair is a mess and his face unshaven.
* Setsuna` nods, taking a drink. "Any si-" She sees the door open, "Oh, well... nevermind."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...what happened to you?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just spent the night in the office. Everything...okay here? 6He asks, running his hand through his hair to calm it back some
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No sign of Xan. Erevis is locked up in her room.
<Setsuna`> "In otherwords... Just peachy, boss." *raises the can*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, a slight twitch at the mention of Xanatos. "I'll talk with her. See if there's some missions I can find you guys to do." 6He moves up the stairs
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...hold on...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at Cass.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What is the deal with Xan?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I would imagine that is quite pissed at me for what happened and would rather be anywhere but here.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...he blaming you?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just offers a faint smile. "It doesn't matter. I'm a big boy." 6He moves up the stairs again.
<Setsuna`> "Okay... what?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Whatever...I'll be out... *heads out the door*
<DeathStar> 6* As Cassandra moves on her daily jog, she eventually encounters --- Xanatos, walking along.
* Xanatos glances up at Cass, dark circles are under his eyes and he is obviously battling a hangover. "Yo." he said lamely.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...you look like sh*t.
* Xanatos smirks lightly. "Hopefully I don't smell like it."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ... ... ...take a bath.
* Xanatos sniffs himself. "I don't smell bad....actually I kinda smell like a girl."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> The wrong type of girl, buster.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: AFK
<Setsuna`> "...not going to ask. Don't want to know."
* Xanatos shakes his head. "It's not like that."
<Setsuna`> "Please keep your 'hobbies' to yourself, 'kay?"
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Shows how much you know me. If you think that's the case."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Back
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP:...and how did Setsuna get there?
<Xanatos> NRP: *shrugs* We're going with it. :S
<DeathStar> NRP: She's ninja
<Setsuna`> NRP: ...ack. Misread one line @.@
<DeathStar> NRP: *Setsuna hangs from a tree limb*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: true...
* Setsuna` was stalking. Darien's boring anyways.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Riiiiight.
* Xanatos scowls at them. "I'm going to go take a shower." He moves past them.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> He can't take a ribbing. *shakes her head*
<Xanatos> Not the time. *he says, stopping and glancing back at them.* Whats the scene at the house?
<Setsuna`> "Welcome to Emoville, population, you?"
* Xanatos looks at Setsuna, simply shaking his head.
<Setsuna`> "Hey, it's not my fault the rest of you had decided to start neglecting personal hygene."
* Xanatos eyes Setsuna for a moment, then turns, since he isn't getting an answer, he moves towards the house.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm out of here. *resumes her jog*
* Setsuna` continues on the way to get more drinks. With how people are, they're going to need them.
<DeathStar> 6* As Xanatos enters the quiet house, it would seem it's empty.
<DeathStar> 6* Except - Darien's car is there.
* Xanatos moves up the steps.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of Erevis' room, glancing up at Xanatos.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Darien zips up his pants :p
* Xanatos frowns. "You look like hell."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says nothing. He moves around Xanatos and down the stairs.
<Xanatos> Wait. *he says, turning to Darien*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't have time for one of your accussations, Xanatos. 6He says, not stopping.
<Xanatos> I wanted to apologize. *he said with a sigh* I was out of line.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops, shaking his head. "You know what - no. I've been hearing that same tired line from you for three months now whenever shit hits the fan. Don't go apologizing now for how you feel." 6He just opens the front door and steps out, slamming it shut
* Xanatos sighs and rubs his face, moving into the bathroom to take a shower.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to his car, grabbing his keys and unlocking the door, getting inside.
* Xanatos steps back out some time later, wrapped in a towel, he simply moves towards his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has driven away by now, obviously.
* Cassandra_Arakawa sits on a bench down the street...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls up beside the bench, glancing out the window at her. "That's not jogging."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Like I want to go back there with all the grey clouds hanging around the house?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Granted. 6He notes, leaning against the steering wheel. "I don't know what to do, Cassandra."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> It happens.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Whatever happened to the days when spy games were easy? 6He asks her.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Only in the movies.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Are you a movie fan, Cass?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I catch a film every now and then.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I never really watched movies that much. I always preferred to be doing it instead of watching it.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well..its never been easy.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have a question for you. 6He glances back at her. "If you weren't indebted to EarthGov for the body, would you quit doing this type of work?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I dunno...never thought about it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't think I could stop. 6He admits. "Even if I ended up friendless and alone. The job is everything."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> If I ever quit...I'd probably end up a porn queen or something...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't tell anyone, but I got a copy of your Playboy issue. 6He shifts the car back into gear. "I'm going to head back to the office, go over the materials we got. I would say don't stay out here long or you'd catch a cold, but you don't have to worry about that."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...does everyone...?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright...I'll head back.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smirks, then pulls away.
* Cassandra_Arakawa stands back and is away to the house!
* Setsuna` gets back only a little before Cassandra, and is restocking the fridge
* Xanatos steps down the stairs, clean and spelling normal again, he plops down onto the couch.
<DeathStar> NRP: *forces you all to interact*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Back! *spoken as she walks in*
* Setsuna` waves to Cass from behind the fridge door.
<Xanatos> Have a good jog?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> More or less.
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "You two don't talk much." He says after a while.
<Setsuna`> "Huh?"
<Xanatos> I know about as much about you, as I know about building a mech. Zilch.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You more than make up for us.
* Xanatos eyes Cass for a moment. "Then, whenever you do speak. It's something along the lines of that."
* Cassandra_Arakawa sticks her tongue at Xan.
* Xanatos chuckles. "I'm sorry you guys have to be part of this. This silly situation."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Silly situation?
<Setsuna`> "You can make it up to me by explaining just what this is all about, some time."
<Xanatos> Erevis is trying to regain her godlike powers. She was almost raped by Vox and now feels her human side to be too weak. Katrina's body cannot handle it and will soon burn out. Darien on the other hand is pissed at me because I accussed him of being a source of all of these problems. Which was stupid of me to do I know. And now we're all living in this tense little world. Joy isn't it?
<Setsuna`> "Just a blast."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Fun fun.
<Xanatos> Sooo. Both Darien and I are at a loss as to how we can help Erevis. And both Darien and I aren't speaking.
<Setsuna`> "...so when do we get our goofy neighbour?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Mmmm-hmmm...
* Xanatos shrugs. "Guess we gotta find someone to play the part."
<DeathStar> NRP: *Urkle walks in*
* Xanatos sighs after a moment and glances at the time.
<DeathStar> NRP: <Xan> So, I know this great place for beer.
<DeathStar> NRP: <Cass> It's not even noon.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What? Have an appointment?
<Xanatos> Nah, wondering if it is drinking time yet.
<Setsuna`> "...you need a time for drinking?"
<Xanatos> Need a time for a special bar to open up.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Special bar?
<Xanatos> Place where I got to get my therapy. *he says with a chuckle*
<Setsuna`> "...right. Not inquiring."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Riiiiiight.
* Xanatos chuckles again, "Then I wont tell."
* Xanatos stands after a long silence. "I think I might go check on Erevis." He says after a moment.
* Cassandra_Arakawa nods.
* Xanatos moves up the stairs, knocking lightly on Erevis' door.
<DeathStar> 6* There is no response for him.
<DeathStar> 6* Outside, their neighbor cuts his grass.
* Xanatos knocks again. "Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Xan is ignored.
* Xanatos moves his hand down to check the door knob.
<DeathStar> 6* It's unlocked. What would a God know about locks?
* Xanatos slightly opens the door to poke his head inside. "Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on her bed, wearing a thick sweater and jeans. Her eyes are closed, clearly focusing her energy.
<Xanatos> Erevis. May I sit with you? *he asks, still standing in the doorway*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do as you wish. 6She says, not stopping her energy focus.
* Xanatos moves over to sit down beside her, falling silent for a while. Then he speaks, "So how are things coming along?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are fine.
* Xanatos nods after a moment. Thinking again.
<Xanatos> I don't guess you'll still let me in on your plans?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have already spoken with Darien about such things. I will remain with the team for the time being.
<Xanatos> I see. *he falls silent again, carefully choosing his words* I hope I didn't upset you last time.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be fine. Do you not have some drinking you wish to engage in now?
* Xanatos glances at her. "Ah I figure I could hold off for an hour or two. You know me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing.
* Xanatos sighs after a moment. "This sucks. This whole situation." Speaking before he can catch himself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sorry you find it difficult to wait an hour.
<Xanatos> That's not what I meant. *he said with another sigh*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing again, not much of a talker.
<Xanatos> I...uhhh. I want to be friends again. I don't like you not talking to me anymore.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "You mean, you'll remain my friend?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I said very well. 6She notes.
* Xanatos brightens up. "Well that's wonderful. You've just made my day."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to focus her energy.
<Xanatos> I uhh. I have to ask. Don't you think you're strong enough now? *his voice is sincere, not wanting to cause more trouble*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My powers are not open to conversation. 6She states flatly.
<Xanatos> Oookay. *he rubs the back of his neck* Are you hungry? *he tilts his head*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
* Xanatos frowns. "Then is there anything I can help you with? Want to play a game or something?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No, I do not.
* Xanatos frowns, "Then I guess you wish to be alone?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xanatos sighs and his shoulders falls slightly. "Ok..." He turns and moves for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't say anything to stop him.
* Xanatos just steps outside of her room, his face in a frown.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.2.5
<DeathStar> Location: Earth Military Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor walks out to look at Sera, Spade, and Chad. "I'm afraid I have bad news. Christopher Kane....is dead."
<DeathStar> 6* And with that, Seraphna snaps awake in the waiting room as a doctor moves by
<Kane> NRP: She killed me!
* Seraphna sits up, shaking, looks like a ghost, "Wh-WHere is he...?"
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna looks around, she would find Spade and Chad still there, each of them having not moved. <Spade> He's still in surgery.
<Seraphna> "Where is Kane???"
* Seraphna whimpers, "H-He's going to be alright... r-right?"
* Chad`Winters glances over from where he's leaning against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade glances at Sera. "We can only hope."
<Seraphna> "I-I need him... need..."
* Seraphna curls up on the waiting room couch
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor walks out...but it's not there doctor. He keeps walking onward.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Spade then at Sera for a split second. He then glances back down to the ground.
* Seraphna feels her heart leap, then sags back down, shaking still
<DeathStar> 6* Walking around the corner in view, still wearing a suit from working in the office, is President Cran. "Here you are."
<Seraphna> "D-Daddy..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade glances up at the President as he moves over to Sera.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head up and watches Cran and Sera.
* Seraphna hugs him, finally starting to cry
<DeathStar> 6* Cran holds her as she cries, glancing over her shoulder at Chad to see if he's okay, too.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I'll go see if I can find anything out. 6He notes, leaving the family alone for the time being. He steps out of the waiting room.
* Chad`Winters appears to be as fine as anyone could tell.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran gives him a single nod, indicating he wants to speak with him, too, as soon as Sera calms down. He goes back to talking to Sera, assuring her everything will be okay
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kane> NRP: Lol.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Cran holds a knife*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: 8 hours later Sera finally goes asleep
* Seraphna has joined #pax-season6session12TeamJanus
<Seraphna> ((power blew))
<Seraphna> ((was last hugging Cran))
<DeathStar> 6* Cran gives him a single nod, indicating he wants to speak with him, too, as soon as Sera calms down. He goes back to talking to Sera, assuring her everything will be okay
* Seraphna slowly calms, still shaking as she starts to lessen her deathgrip on her father
<DeathStar> <Cran> He'll be okay, Serena. Kane is a strong one.
* Seraphna nods weakly, looking pathetic despite herself
<DeathStar> <Cran> You have to be strong for him. He'll need you when he gets out of surgery.
<Seraphna> "A-Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran glances at her and Chad. "Neither of you were hurt?"
<Chad`Winters> No...I should've realized this was a trap.
<Seraphna> "He targeted my pilot..."
<Seraphna> "He's done this twice."
<DeathStar> <Cran> It's a problem a pilot will have to face. They are the weak link.
* Seraphna nods and rocks on her feet, hugging her knees on the couch
<DeathStar> 6* Cran glances at them both. "There's more bad news."
<Chad`Winters> Is this something that should remain private?
<Seraphna> "Huh...?" *looks up, as if in wonder there could ever be any worse news*
<DeathStar> <Cran> No, this concerns you both. Zephyr was wounded and is currently being brought here since no one knows how to repair a Dragoon.
* Seraphna goes wide eyed, "S-Sis...?"
<Seraphna> "How bad is it?"
<DeathStar> <Cran> Bad enough Ariel would seek me out.
* Seraphna looks bad again o.o
* Chad`Winters stiffens up. 1"...." 6Lowers his head. 1"Who did it?"
<DeathStar> <Cran> Ariel mentioned a group called ... Dragoon Hunters. Some new player I haven't heard about before.
<Seraphna> "Could they be... involved with Adam?"
<Seraphna> "He has an amazing amount of intelligence on us..."
<Chad`Winters> He got it from Organization VI.
* Chad`Winters tightens his left fist, his knuckles cracking.
<Seraphna> "Still a horrible name if you ask me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran leans back, interjecting nothing at this point.
* Seraphna sighs, obviously having attempted some humor to calm herself
<Seraphna> "If there's a group dedicated to killing off Dragoons, wouldn't that make Ariel and myself prime targets?"
<Chad`Winters> You were a by-product. An after thought, I doubt they know you exist.
<DeathStar> <Cran> You are vastly different than a Dragoon, too.
<Chad`Winters> Organization VI has what they wanted...And now this..
<DeathStar> 6* President Cran's communicator beeps. He excuses himself for a moment.
* Seraphna nods quietly
<Seraphna> "Plus I piss off a majority of the Dragoons... they probably consider me a hero..." *rolls her eyes*
* Chad`Winters doesn't react at all to Sera's comment.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran clicks his comm off. "I just finished talking with the Dragoons. They are in orbit. I will be going up there to help with the repairs."
<Chad`Winters> I want to go with.
<DeathStar> <President Cran> Of course. My shuttle is outside. 6He notes.
* Chad`Winters pushes himself off the wall.
* Seraphna looks to the door to surgery, "I'm gonna stay here..."
<DeathStar> <Cran> I understand. Spade will be here with you. 6He motions for Chad to follow him, moving off.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade, who had been lingering about, moves over and sits back down in the waiting room with Sera.
* Chad`Winters follows off behind Chad.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Cran.
<DeathStar> <Cran> How are you? 6He asks with concern.
* Seraphna rests her head on Spade's shoulder, shivering a little
<DeathStar> 6* Spade reaches over and puts his hand around her's. "It'll be okay."
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure...I should've realized this was a trap and should've called it off...Now with Zephyr in critical...
<DeathStar> <Cran> We'll help her. 6He says to Chad, perhaps knowing of his fondness of the dragoon.
<Seraphna> "I-I hope so Will.."
<DeathStar> <Spade> I find it helps to remember a person when waiting. 6He notes. "What is the first thing you think of when you think about Kane?"
* Chad`Winters has left #pax-season6session12TeamJanus
<Seraphna> "All the times back on PAX, when he just spent night after night watching movies with me... just being there..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Is that how you fell in love with him?
<Seraphna> "I guess... during all those times talking with him and getting to know him."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade nods. "What sort of movies did you watch?"
<Seraphna> "Mostly Sci Fi movies, you know me..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Yes, I do know you. 6He says with a faint smile.
* Seraphna blushes a little, "You know me so much better then most people..." *she looks down* "Dad kept putting me in your care so often..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Your father and I agreed on many things when it came to your protection.
* Seraphna blushes more, remembering quite a bit of things at once, "I've always wondered... did he... was he... trying to arrange... us?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> At a time, that might have been his plan, yes. But he knows you love Kane.
* Seraphna nods weakly
<DeathStar> 6* Spade pats her on the back. "I've learned it is best to live life with no regrets. You have to follow your own path, Sera."
* Seraphna nods softly, "Is that why... you broke the bond?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> I was going away for a long time. And your feeling for Kane were strong. The bond would have gotten in the way.
* Seraphna nods weakly again, "I see..."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor finally steps out. Spade stands up.
* Seraphna stands slowly, looking to the doctor
<DeathStar> <Doctor> We finished operating on Kane, but I'm afraid the damage was very extensive. He fell into a coma shortly afterward and we don't know if he'll wake up again. The chances are good, but at this point, it's too early to tell."
* Seraphna nods weakly, "C-Can I see him...?"
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Yes. We've moved him to a room. 6He leads them down the hallway to Kane's room. Spade stops outside the door
* Seraphna heads inside, moving over to him
* Kane lays there, eyes closed. His chest is slowly moving up and down, and all in all he looks alright. He is a bit pale, and his chest is patched up.
* Seraphna holds his hand, brushing at some of his hair
<Kane> *The machines beep steadily, sounding off every so often, showing that Kane is holding on.
<Seraphna> "I love you Kane..."
<Kane> *Of course there is no reply, but his face seems pleasant, as if he was at peace for the moment*
* Seraphna sighs, as her father often would, she gets right down tot he root of the problem, "What am I going to do without a pilot?"
<Kane> *Kane's body doesn't move, since he is in a coma and all*
<DeathStar> 6* Spade is outside, giving Sera her space, though perhaps he hears it all.
* Seraphna sighs and sits next to him, watching his face, as if hoping to see him wake
<DeathStar> 6* Spade glances in at her once, then turns and moves down the hallway to get some coffee.
<Kane> *Yep, Kane is still in a coma*
* Seraphna gets up after a while, stepping out, leaning against the wall.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Here. 6He offers her some coffee.
* Seraphna takes it, smiling
<DeathStar> <Spade> There is a good chance for recovery. 6He notes to her.
* Seraphna nods, "But how long... is the problem, he could never wake up."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Yes. It could be a long time.
* Seraphna nods weakly
* Seraphna turns away, obviously not wanting to voice what obviously must be descided.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade sips his coffee quietly.
<Seraphna> "If it ever came to it... wh-what... what would I lose this time...?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> A lot more than you might imagine.
* Seraphna flinches a little, "What besides the possibility of him waking... severed from me?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Him. 6He sips his coffee again.
* Seraphna nods again, sighing softly, "I need some time to think about this..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> If I were you, I'd remember those movies. 6He finishes his coffee, turning to move down the hallway.
* Seraphna nods, then walks after him
<DeathStar> 6* Spade moves back to the waiting room, sitting down again.
* Seraphna sits down next to him
<DeathStar> 6* Spade checks his datapad, clearly monitoring things back at Janus and possiblely Cran's ship in space.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I will be unable to stay much longer. 6He notes. "I have to track down Adam."
<Seraphna> "Requesting a week off..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Granted. 6He says without any hestitation.
* Seraphna smiles a little, then goes to sit by her boyfriend.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
Session Close: Tue Jul 18 21:29:36 2006

Session Start: Tue Jul 18 18:31:52 2006
Session Ident: #pax-season6session12TeamDragoon
* Now talking in #pax-season6session12TeamDragoon
* Ariel has joined #pax-season6session12TeamDragoon
* #pax-season6session12TeamDragoon is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: Within Hours of the Previous Session
<DeathStar> Location: Cartel Frigate in Space
<DeathStar> 6* The medical bay of the frigate, rarely ever used, currently has two new patients - in the form of Dias and Zephyr. While Dias has no visible damage, Zephyr's wounds cannot be said to be the same, having lost a lot of blood and taken lots of damage
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl argues with one of the Cartel doctors, who walks off. She still has bothered to change her clothes, which are soaked in blood.
* Ariel sits quietly in the medbay, by Zephyr's side. The artifact has taken secondary priority to her, as she watches over her youngest.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They said there's nothing they can do for her - they don't know enough about a Dragoon's body to know what they need to repair. 6She says finally, taking a deep breath and letting it out
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> NRP: *Hotaru dies so that Zephyr might live*
* Dias lies on his medical bed, neither stirring or moving. His chest rising up and down as e breathes.
<Ariel> "...prehaps I should have been stricter with her."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru has joined #pax-season6session12TeamDragoon
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: Ugh... what a time for my comp to crash
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru sighs, walking over, face turned to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets out her breath, clearly angry and disturbed. She glances at Ariel finally. "Now what do we do? Her condition will only get worse."
<Ariel> "...there are very few people who would know enough to help her."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Can we seek out one who can?"
* Ariel nods slowly and stands. "...there seems little choice in the matter." She starts to head to her quarters.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And who exactly are we going to go seek out? 6She demands to know, following after Ariel.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: Are Dias and Zephyr concious?
<DeathStar> NRP: Dias is completely unconscious, Zephyr is, too, at this point
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We'll get help anyway..." *heads after Ariel and Cheryl*
* Ariel hesitates a step, "I will need to contact Cran... prehaps he will be able to help." She doesn't seem to like the idea though.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can't be serious. 6She begins to say, then stops. "No, you are perfectly serious."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru glances to Cheryl, looking serious
* Ariel looks to Cheryl, "Do you have any better ideas?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. 6She says in a huff. "But I don't trust that snake."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "None of us do."
* Ariel shakes her head, "I do not either... but he tends to be honest, if underhanded." She sighs, "...once again indebted to him."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hate to see what he will want in return.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I suggest we find out in advance, rather than allowing him to claim 'a favour'"
* Ariel nods in agreement, and heads to her quarters to contact President Cran.
<DeathStar> 6* While some might get long delays in waiting for the president, upon giving her name, Ariel is patched through within 5 minutes directly to Cran. <President Cran> Ariel. Has something happened on the colony?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves back to the medical bay, glancing at Dias. She glances at his brain patterns, then motions to the doctor. <Cheryl> What does this all mean?
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru stands nearby, quietly
* Ariel shakes her head, "This time, it is a matter more personal."
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Parts of his brain were fused. 6He explains, pointing to the brain centers. "It would seem his brain functions have changed - some were sped up, some slowed down. There could be personality damage."
<DeathStar> <President Cran> I see. What happened?
<Ariel> "Zephyr has been critically wounded, and needs immediate aid."
<DeathStar> <President Cran> I see. About how far away are you from Earth?
<Ariel> "...approximately one day, Earth time."
<DeathStar> <President Cran> Then return here. I'll get the schematics together. We'll make sure you have them with you in the future.
* Ariel smiles slightly, "I thank you. We will make haste." She pauses. "...have you ever heard of a group of individuals, refered to as 'Dragoon Hunters'?"
<DeathStar> <President Cran> No. 6He shakes his head. "The only real enemies of the Dragoons were the Ridariums, due to the war."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Curious."
* Ariel nods slowly. "There is a group of individuals who have dedicated themselves to the destruction of the Dragoons. Claiming it is their destiny." She pauses a moment, "...Zephyr was defeated when the numbers were on her side. If your people encounter these individuals, they should proceed with great caution."
<DeathStar> <President Cran> Understood.
* Ariel bows her head, and cuts transmission, if Cran has nothing else to be said.
<DeathStar> NRP: And now -- for a time jump
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.2.5
<DeathStar> Location: The Same
<DeathStar> 6* The Frigate arrives in the Sol system.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru still looks uneasy, but it cannot be helped
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl paces back and forth on the bridge as they get closer to Earth, clearly not liking this.
* Ariel has remained in the medbay for the duration of the trip.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Signal Earth to let them know we're here. 6She tells the communication officer.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru sits near Ariel, watching over the pair
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Dias' eyes open.
* Dias snaps up from his bed, looking around bewildered.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Dias... are you...?"
<Dias> Zephyr?!
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks over to Zephyr, gesturing
* Ariel looks over towards Dias, a little startled at the apparent quickness of recovery.
* Dias leaps off the table and slides over to Zephyr, looking down at her. 1"What's wrong?"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks to Ariel, questioningly
<Ariel> "...she has been damaged beyond our current capacity for repairs. We are to aquisition resources from Earth, to help her."
<Dias> How far away? *he turns back looking at Ariel, any timidness that was there now gone*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's voice comes on the intercomm. "I got in touch with Cran. He's coming to us."
<Ariel> "It seems, not very."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "A relief.. but... I still worry."
* Dias looks back down at Zephyr, her reaches down and grabs her hand.
* Ariel waits with Zephyr, until there's notice of Cran arriving.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I can only hope that Cran is able to help..."
<DeathStar> 6* A presidential shuttle and convoy launches from the planet and flies toward the ship.
* Ariel proceeds to the hangar, letting others come or stay as they wish.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru waits in the medbay a little longer
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands and out steps Cran with a datapad. Behind him is Chad Winters.
* Ariel bows her head, "President. Mr.Winters."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran nods back. "Ariel."
* Dias steps off. 1"Where's Zephyr?"
<Dias> NRP: BAKA!
* Chad`Winters has joined #pax-season6session12TeamDragoon
<Chad`Winters> Where's Zephyr?
<Ariel> "In medbay." *she looks to Cran* "I trust you would not object if we postpone formalities at the moment."
<Chad`Winters> Lead me to her.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hardly. I understand what Zephyr means. 6He says, glancing at Chad.
* Ariel nods, and quickly leads the way to the medbay
* Chad`Winters follows behind quickly a serious look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran follows after her, getting his datapad ready.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks over to Chad as they enter. "Are you the medical expert?"
* Ariel looks down somewhat as she leads, "She is not doing well..." She glances to Chad. "...thank you for coming."
<Chad`Winters> Hardly...*he says to Hotaru and only nods to Ariel. He moves over to her table, patting Dias on his back as he stops.
<DeathStar> 6* President Cran steps in. "That would be me." 6He tellls Hotaru. He moves over to Zephyr, examining her body.
* Dias turns to look at Chad. 1"Chad....I couldn't..."
<Chad`Winters> It's alright Dias...I'm sure you tried your hardest. 6He rubs his shoulder then looks down at Zephyr. His head moving over to hers.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Hand.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods to Cran, looking quite worried, despite the usual calmness of dragoons
<DeathStar> 6* Cran begins to talk with the doctors, showing them his datapad. They listen intently to his words.
* Ariel is tense as well. The anxiety of being uncertain if they moved fast enough, hangs on her shoulders.
* Dias leans against Chad.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I'll have to ask all of you to clear the room while we begin to work on her. 6He says finally, glancing at all of them. "This will be difficult, given the amount of damage."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru doesn't look happy, but nods uncertainly
* Ariel nods understandingly. She gives Zephyr a gentle hug, before stepping out of the room.
* Chad`Winters reaches his arm around her.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Him.
* Chad`Winters squeezes Zephyr's arm and pulls Dias with him.
* Dias turns heading with him, reluctantly tho.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors close behind them. Cheryl is in the hallway, her arms crossed, clearly not happy about having Cran on the ship.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads out, looking very serious once more
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't like this. 6She states, even though it's unnecessary.
* Ariel nods slowly. Not about to point out that Cheryl rarel likes anything.
<Chad`Winters> Cran won't do anything to put her life in danger.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I think he knows what will happen if he tries anything funny..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: * Cran emerges in clown costume.
* Chad`Winters eyes Hotaru, a flash of danger in his eyes.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks back, calmly, but with a slight hint of danger to her own eyes for a moment. "The welfare of Zephyr is extremely important to me."
<Ariel> "...I cannot see the interest of him doing anything to Zephyr. It would make him too many enemies from within, and abroad."
<Chad`Winters> As it is to me.
* Dias looks up at Chad then over at Hotaru.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru seems to relax somewhat hearing that.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I am glad to hear it."
<DeathStar> 6* And so, hours pass...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues to pace about.
* Ariel hasn't moved from her spot, in contrast to Cheryl
* Dias sits against a wall, asleep.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru seems restless, but doesn't actually move from her spot
<DeathStar> 6* The door finally opens and Cran steps out, tired. "We're done. She'll be fine."
* Chad`Winters looks up from his spot. 1"Can we see her?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Thankyou..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks as if a large weight has been lifted from her shoulders
<DeathStar> <Cran> Of course. 6He steps aside so they can go in.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads in
* Ariel offers a tired smile. She lets the others go see Zephyr first, content in the knowledge she'll still be there when they're done. She approaches Cran, "...I owe you another debt of gratitude."
* Chad`Winters steps in behind Hotaru.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits in her bed, awake and tired. She gives them a smile, then a big smile when she sees Chad. "Chad!"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru smiles back, sitting down nearby
<DeathStar> <Cran> My son cares for Zephyr very much, so you owe me nothing. 6He tells Ariel.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "How are you feeling?"
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr...You're safe...
* Chad`Winters quickly moves over to beside her reaching down for her hand.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm okay. No pain. 6She says, lying, but giving Hotaru a smile. "Sorry for the scare." 6Zephyr takes Chad's hand, looking back at him. "You came to see me, too?"
* Dias stirs awake and pushes himself up.
<Ariel> "Prehaps... though your own reasons aside, this was quite important to me."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "There is no need to apologize. I'm just glad you've recovered."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cran, still in the hallway.
<Chad`Winters> Of course Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <President Cran> I understand.
* Dias runs through the doorway and into the med room, heading towards Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squeezes his hand a little, then look at Dias. "You're okay, Dias. I'm glad."
<Dias> You're more important. *he slides upto her bed*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, her mind still sluggish. "But you were hurt, too."
* Dias suddenly hangs his head. 1"Sorry...Couldn't be man."
* Chad`Winters looks down at Dias then at Zephyr. 1"I see...You tried to protect her..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You did what you could, Dias.. that's all we can ask for."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sorry. 6She says to Chad, since she was watching over Dias.
<Chad`Winters> No it's fine Zephyr...You did great...
* Chad`Winters pats Dias on the head, who obviously is not happy with the outcome.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yawns, her eyes drooping some.
* Chad`Winters looks down at her. 1"You need some sleep Zephyr..6He squeezes her hand.
* Ariel steps into the medbay.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran and Cheryl eye each other in the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't wanna... 6She says tiredly.
<Ariel> NRP: * Cran and Cheryl have an epic battle, while no one is looking
<Chad`Winters> Stubborn, just like I remember.
* Dias steps back and then turns heading out of the room.
* Dias moves upto Cheryl stopping before her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sees Ariel, hanging her head sheepishly.
* Ariel steps over, and kneels by Zephyr's bed. "Are you alright?"
* Chad`Winters steps over sligthly, giving Ariel plently of room.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Y-Yes. 6She says, clearly expecting a lecture.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6She glances at Dias.
<Dias> I want to...be a man...
* Ariel smiles, "I'm glad. You had us all quite worried." She hugs Zephyr, "...please don't worry us like that again."
* Dias balls his fists up, his eyes shut tight. he's obviously h9olding back his tears.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs her back. "I promise. I'm sorry."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru pauses a moment, then hugs Zephyr also
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks. "You want me to teach you how to be a man?"
<Dias> I want to...to protect...Zephyr..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I won't go easy on you
<Dias> Don't care.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good. 6She says firmly, clearly liking his attitude.
<Dias> Either will...bad guys.
<Ariel> "Just rest and recover, my little one. We'll all be here for you."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr nods, then closes her eyes, drifting off to sleep from the medication given to her.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Ariel. 1"What happened?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Follow me. There is so some space in the hanger. 6She leads Dias after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran watches Dias cautiously, almost warily.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Someone or other decided they didn't like our existance."
* Dias follows behind Cheryl, his head hanged down as he follows.
* Ariel stands slowly, "We were engaged with a group calling themselves Dragoon hunters. Cheryl and I engaged two of their members, to recover an item that they stole. Zephyr found she couldn't stay back as I had instructed her... when she arrived, she was assaulted by one of their numbers."
<Chad`Winters> And I'm guessing Dias followed along correct?
* Ariel nods, "It seems so. Those two rarely leave each other's side."
<Chad`Winters> I see...*he tilts his head down*
<Chad`Winters> I hope Dias isn't becoming an inconvience. *he looks down at Zephyr again*
<Ariel> "Only a minor one. At the moment, I am more concerned about his well being. He was injured as well, and I can only hope there are no lingering complications."
<Chad`Winters> Injured?
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods
<Ariel> "He was unconscious for a good day after the incident. Awoke just after we arrived here."
* Ariel retrieves Dias's medical record for Chad.
* Chad`Winters grabs them looking at them briefly. 1"I see...I'd take him if I thought it would be for the better but...6He glances back at the door. 1"But there are things that make that impossible.
* Ariel nods. "We will keep an eye on him for you then."
<Chad`Winters> I appreciate it Ariel, I'm still indebted to you.
<Ariel> "Even if I was against it, it would not be easy to deny the wishes of Zephyr."
* Chad`Winters just nods in response.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods too. "I have no problems with him staying."
<Chad`Winters> Then I'm indebted to you all.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran steps in. "I have to get back to Earth now, Chad."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Thank you for everything you've done."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: + here
* Chad`Winters looks at Cran and nods. 1"Then this is my time to leave. Tell Zephyr to take care and I'll comm her the next time I'm free."
<DeathStar> 6* President Cran returns to his shuttle in the hanger, giving Chad time to say his goodbyes.
* Chad`Winters nods to the two and turns walking out.
* Ariel bows, "We will look forward to seeing you again under better circumstances."
<Chad`Winters> We can only hope so Ariel...
* Chad`Winters steps out of the room waving his hand. He then makes his way down to the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is training Dias fighting styles, not going easy on him in her training.
* Dias pants as he struggles to keep up. He glances over at Dias.
<Dias> NRP: Chad
<DeathStar> NRP: He glances at himself
* Chad`Winters walks over towards cheryl and Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as Chad walks over. "Chad Winters." 6She notes, remembering him well. She did teach Zephyr to hit him in the nuts if he tried anything
<Chad`Winters> I must thank you Cheryl...For teaching Zephyr well...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm just glad she took some incentive with dealing with you.
<Chad`Winters> And I'd have to wonder what I ever did to you to deserve such...advanced combat techniques being taught to her.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Cheryl teacheS Dias to hit Chad in the nuts*
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru pauses, and steps out, to give a short message to Chad
* Dias squats down as he recovers his breath.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just say it as I see it.
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his head a smirk on his face. He moves over to Dias stepping up beside him.
* Dias looks up at him. 1"Going to be man."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Chad.. take care of yourself."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Hotaru. 1"I plan on it..."
* Chad`Winters kneels down and gives Dias a hug.
* Dias accepts the hug, huggin back.
* Chad`Winters lets go. 1"Take good care of them Dias."
* Dias nods and stands back up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran watches the two from the shuttle, his expression unreadable

<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies back to earth. President Cran sits in the back of the luxurious shuttle with his son, Chad Winters.
* Chad`Winters sits in his luxurious seat. 1"Things seem to be spiralling out of control lately.
<DeathStar> <Cran> It does seem to have been a bad month. 6He crosses his fingers together in his lap. "But you seem to be holding up fine."
<Chad`Winters> I've learned not to wear my emotions on my sleeve.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Then how do you feel?
<Chad`Winters> Distraught...I don't like not having control of the situations around me and with things going the direction they are I'm worried I'm going to be pulled apart.
<DeathStar> <Cran> One of the things one must do is realize that he cannot control every situation. But you can control what you do in the situation.
<Chad`Winters> It's harder to do something than it is to realize it. *glances around the shuttle, his mind having been to occupied before to take it in*
<DeathStar> 6* Cran watches him study his surroundings.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his seat and looks up at the cieling. 1"Serena's breaking apart pretty badly."
<DeathStar> <Cran> She doesn't deal with loss very well. 6He notes.
<Chad`Winters> No she doesn't...Doubled with her one track thinking I'm concerned about Kane.
<DeathStar> <Cran> What do you mean?
<Chad`Winters> You know how she tends to focus on specfic things. Things that tend to cloud her judgement.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran leans back in his seat, nodding. "Yes."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sorry...This isn't something I shouldn't talk about.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Cran stares at that double negative*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Hahha.
<DeathStar> NRP: <Cran> So what you're saying is this is something you should talk about. <Chad> You really are my father
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Change the isn't to an is than sheesh.
<DeathStar> <Cran> And why is that?
<Chad`Winters> Because family isn't supposed to pick each other apart. Isn't that why you placed our apartments beside each other? To build something that wasn't there?
<DeathStar> <Cran> I assure you there are families at there that take great pleasure in hating each other. Being a family doesn't mean you automatically get along. There has to be a desire to form a bond.
<Chad`Winters> That is true...
<DeathStar> <Cran> The fact you don't like Serena very much is quite obvious.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure it's that brother-sister hate that's normal.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Doubtful. You formulated your opinions about her back when you worked together. That mindset carries with you today.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure that one day all her abrasiveness will wear my opinion down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran chuckles slightly. "I don't expect the two of you will ever ... see eye to eye."
<Chad`Winters> It is difficult at our height differences.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran studies Chad carefully. "I admit I was a bit surprised when you changed work divisions."
<Chad`Winters> I figured you would be...
<Chad`Winters> Are you disapointed?
<DeathStar> <Cran> Foremost, I want you to follow your own path in this life. If you feel working in the Black Ops with Spade is where you are meant to be, I support it. I just thought you were more interesting in designing.
<Chad`Winters> I am...I still spend my free time designing things, it helps me wind down and take my mind off my current job...I just...
<DeathStar> <Cran> You just what?
<Chad`Winters> The look in Eve Summer's eyes when Adam had her...
<DeathStar> 6* Cran shifts some in his seat, listening.
<Chad`Winters> If they were willing to go that far, then Eve could only be the beginning. Someone needs to stop them before other innocents get hurt.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I agree. What made you decide to be the one to stop them?
<Chad`Winters> Spade made it sound like a stalemate creeping over to a Janus losing...I figured this might take a sort of genious to take them down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran smiles softly, rubbing the side of his face with his hand. "Your type of genius."
<Chad`Winters> A gift, a curse. *he holds his hands up and to his side*
<DeathStar> <Cran> I imagine. 6The shuttle shifts as it lands finally. "I noticed Dias seems to be getting along well with the Dragoons."
<Chad`Winters> From what I've learend from Zephyr, they've taken quite a shine to him...
<DeathStar> <Cran> Isn't that what you hoped would happen?
<Chad`Winters> That I did. Hopefully being around such good natured people will help him in the long run.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I'd imagine so. Ariel would be a good influence on him, I imagine.
<Chad`Winters> Oddly enough, currently Cheryl is the one influencing him from what I've heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran leans back a bit in his seat. "Cheryl, hm."
<Chad`Winters> But hopefully Zephyr's carefree spirit will help to balance her...straight forwardness out.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Zephyr was always young at heart, from what I remember.
<Chad`Winters> Quite so. I just hope these Dragoon Hunter's don't prove to be troublesome.
<DeathStar> <Cran> It is odd. Dragoon is an Earth term.
<Chad`Winters> ....*leans forward* Tell me something...How many people knew the plans to the dragoons?
<DeathStar> <P. Cran> At one time, close to a hundred people knew, as we needed that many to build the first 26.
<Chad`Winters> Is it possible that someone from Earth created this group of Dragoon Hunters...I don't know maybe I'm just grasping.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Anything is possible.
<Chad`Winters> Were there any of the workers that seemed to hate the Dragoons?
<DeathStar> <Cran> It's been so long, I could not remember.
<Chad`Winters> This seems to be more troubling than I originally thought.
<Chad`Winters> To be able to hold up to a Dragoon...and obviously beat one...
<DeathStar> <Cran> From what I understood, the person who beat Zephyr beat her at her own style of fighting. Guns.
* Chad`Winters leans back in the seat again. 1"Interesting indeed."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran studies Chad, as if perhaps trying to judge how much this Dragoon Hunter business is troubling him
<Chad`Winters> Does it bug you? 6Suddenly speaks up*
<DeathStar> <Cran> Your interest in the Dragoons?
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr to be more specific.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran considers this. "I'm not sure what I think about it. I'm not even sure how far your interest in her goes."
<Chad`Winters> Would it disappoint you if it was more than as a friend?
<DeathStar> <Cran> I would have reservations about it, I suppose. I am always concerned with the future - and what would the future bring for you and her?
<Chad`Winters> I don't know...I've thought about it deeply obviously...But there are things disturbing that come with it.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Such as?
<Chad`Winters> The state of mind...She's still a young girl...
<DeathStar> <Cran> She was the last one designed. I think some of the designers decided that she was their baby - like a parent treats their younger child differently. I paired her up with Warren Carmichael for that very reason - he was a young, determined man with a serious commitment to his job at the time.
<Chad`Winters> A good choice....
<DeathStar> <Cran> Very. During the war, Zephyr was good. Highly focused, highly trained. She got the job done with high efficency. She performed better than half the Dragoons. There was hardly any sign of a young girl in her work. Have you noticed her being more focused around Warren?
<DeathStar> <Cran> During PAX.
<Chad`Winters> Now that you mention it, I did.
* Chad`Winters glances out one of the viewports.
<DeathStar> <Cran> It could be because he never treated her as a child, and thus she came to meet his expectations.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head, looking back at Cran. 1"I see."
<DeathStar> <Cran> All of us tend to accept the role people expect us to take. It's when people challenge us that we try to do more.
<DeathStar> -Pause-

* #pax-season6session12TeamErusian is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.2.5
<DeathStar> Location: The Prototype Ship
* Kio is now known as Rylon
<DeathStar> 6* Having been ordered to remain onboard the damaged ship, the team has spent the night on it - with Warren still in the medical room, hooked up to machines for life.
* Cole stands outside of the medical room, his arms crossed, worried about Warren.
<Red_Fox> "I... should've been there... maybe I could've done something..."
* Shiva stands at the helm of the ship dealing with the Cartel in an attempt to calm things down.
* Cole glances at Fox. "No use in worry about the what ifs now. We just need to hope he pulls through this."
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia's shuttle lands in the hanger, having come up finally after giving the proper codes.
<Red_Fox> "Yeah... you're right, but it doesn't make me feel any less guilty."
* Arhn pacing on the bridge...
* Rylon moves down the hallway toward the medical room. 14"How is he?"
* Cole just shrugs. "They haven't said."
<Rylon> 14"Well...must mean he isn't dead yet"
<Cole> At the least. *he nods*
<Red_Fox> "That's good... but I have a feeling that he won't be back with us any time soon.."
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia steps off his shuttle, heading for the bridge.
<Rylon> 14"At least he'll get away from the combat.."
* Cole closes his eyes and leans his head back against the wall. "I was only a few minutes late." He said with a sigh.
* Shiva closes the comm an irritated look on her face.
* Shiva looks over to a crew member. 1"Whats the time frame to getting the main core back online and repairing the damages done?
<Arhn> ...whoever did this...
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia steps onto the bridge, his hands folded together behind his back.
* Cole glances at Rylon. "So that was they Meyr?
<Arhn> Lombardia....
<Rylon> 14"I can't say for sure, they used different military combat tactics, different weaponary, different everything.."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Arhnya. 6He says, glancing at her. "We need to speak about a lot." 6He glances toward Shiva. "How long before this battleship can be battleready again, with the damage it took?"
<Arhn> Shiva?
* Cole shakes his head. "Then it was the Tsiv?"
<Rylon> 14"If it was the Myhr, they went to incredible lengths to hide who they are. And that's what gets me, their style was different then even Tsivrixsh, and I fought alot of those in the past. If anything, it could be a 3rd party player"
<Shiva> A week's time and that's with the Cartel reorganizing their resources towards repairing this unexpected attack....*she eyes Lombardia*
<Arhn> ...can the ship move under sub-light drives?
<Cole> Third party? Great, more fuel to the fire.
<Red_Fox> "As if things weren't bad enough."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> We can't afford to have any Myhr work on this ship at this point. They might sabotage it.
<Shiva> We're running on the back-up core currently. We'ld be able to hit hyperspace for brief periods of atleast an hour before they the engines have to be cooled down.
<Rylon> 14"It's just a matter of who gains in light of this.."
<Arhn> ...then I think it is time to take matters into our own hands.
<Shiva> And how do we know that we the Cartel can trust the Yloi on this ship? Since very few Yloi know the schematics of this ship.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Personally... 6He pauses, glancing at those on the ship. "I would wish to speak with you and Arhn alone a moment."
* Cole rubs his shoulder as he stands there, thinking.
<DeathStar> NRP: ER, bridge - those on the bridge.
<Arhn> Very well.
<Arhn> NRP: AFK
<Shiva> Then lead the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia glances around. "Is there a conference room around?" 6He asks, clearly not knowing the layout of the ship.
* Shiva just nods and steps out of the Bridge, she turns and heads down a hallway.
<Arhn> NRP: Back
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia follows after her.
<Rylon> NRP: I'm so laggy
* Arhn follows them as well.
* Shiva turns and steps into a doorway leading them into a conference room. She moves around the corner and begins typing on the wall console.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia steps in, looking collective and calm still.
* Red_Fox sigh
<Red_Fox> NRP: s
<Arhn> ...well...what do you ahve to say?
<Rylon> NRP: Lombardia: I like men
<DeathStar> NRP: *he nods diplomatically*
* Shiva taps the wall console one last time and the door locks behind Arhn.
<Shiva> This room is now officially silent. Talk.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I believe someone in your group is a traitor. The council being hit and most of them killed, plus this ship, who I told no one about, was hit within twenty minutes of being in orbit around the planet.
<Arhn> Even I didn't know the council was in session...much less any of my group.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Or someone in your group didn't wish you to know. This person is being bold and loud about their actions.
<Shiva> I find that hard to believe since I personally worked with the most of them.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> And do you trust everyone in your group? 6He asks Shiva. "Clearly Carmichael didn't have anything to do with it, but you had one member of your party missing and we have one Myhr in your group."
<Rylon> NRP: Ry: Stereotyping son of a bitch!
<Arhn> A Myhr who does not adhere to the violent rhetoric of the extremists
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia says nothing as he stands there, clearly disagreeing, but too polite to contradict Arhn.
<Shiva> Who all knew in the Yloi of the Prototype ship's plans?
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> The council. 6He notes.
<Shiva> Then as far as I'm concerned, they're all a suspect.
<Arhn> They are all dead.
* Shiva looks over at Arhn.
<Arhn> Someone had the gall to launch a strike at the council chambers at the same moment we were attacked
<Shiva> How did you manage to survive Lombardia?
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia glances at Shiva, clearly getting her intent behind the question.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I would imply nothing either way.
<Shiva> You'll have to understand where I'm coming from Lombardia.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> It is not our way to announce our particular functions in society. It is how we operate.
<Shiva> So what am I to tell the Cartel President? That this was all coincidental?
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Hardly. I believe the opposite.
<Shiva> And without the Council, how are the Yloi going to be able to maintain order?
<Arhn> The planetary governments will fill the void.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> There's also another ... plan. 6He speaks up finally, deciding to say something.
<Shiva> We've seen what they're capable of. The weaponry they're using is advanced..
* Shiva looks over at Lombardia. 1"And what is that?
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> ... 6He glances at Arhn finally. "I am going to break tradition a little and speak in front of an outsider, because I believe if we do not get the Cartel's full aid, the Erusian society will collapse." 6He seems to wait to see if she'll interject strongly.
<Arhn> ...proceed.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia glances at Shiva. "Not all of the council is dead. We have decided to inact an old clause that has never been attempted before in a long time." 6He looks to Arhn. "The council is going to call back previous members to fill the voids left by those who have died."
<Arhn> I see.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> We are in a state of emergency, Arhnya. I had received reports before the attack that the Tsivrixsh were amassing a fleet.
<Arhn> ...so I am called back to the council then?
<Shiva> The Tsivrixsh are making their move?
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia nods to Arhn and Shiva at the same time, answering both their questions. "Yes."
<Shiva> Of course...What better time than when you're enemy is shattered in two...
* Rylon sighs and walks down the hallways of the ship, boredly flipping his knife within his hand to entertain himself. He seemed to search for Arhn to ask her something, but so far found her not around.
<Arhn> Then I accept.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia nods. "So, we are faced with a problem. Clearly, someone knows what is being circulated, as the attack on the ship has indicated, and they have the means to hit the council. And it would seem we have a Tsivrixsh convoy being formed."
<Shiva> The Cartel will be hard to convince knowing that they will be dragged into a war.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I fear without the Cartel, the Tsivrixsh would get a foothold on this region - one we could not shake off.
* Arhn crosses her arms.
<Shiva> A shame that this is how the Erusians will need to cash in on our alliance.
<Arhn> ...excuse me?
<Shiva> It's ashame that the first real need for our alliance is the case of war.
<Arhn> War was not in the equations when I began to discuss this with you...
<Shiva> The Cartel will honor the alliance made. You'll have what we can offer.
<Arhn> Thank you...I hope that worse does not come to worse...
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, another ship uncloaks nearby - though it's not Erusian technology. It seems to be some sort of old Cartel cargo frigate, though it's been upgraded and repaired.
<Rylon> NRP: The Narl!
<Arhn> Who?
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> One of your ships? 6He asks Shiva
* Rylon blinks, and stops by a window, glancing out at the ship. 14"The hell?"
* Red_Fox blinks, looking out of a window
* Shiva pulls out her datapad looking at it. 1"No...We don't upgrade like this...
<Shiva> NRP: *oddly enough, there are no windows*
<DeathStar> NRP: What a boring ship
* Red_Fox doesn't look out of a window then
* Rylon stares at a wall then!
<Shiva> NRP: *Shakes his head* That was a NRP!
<Cole> NRP: LOL Chad was being an asshole.
<Red_Fox> NRP: LOL OOPS
<Rylon> NRP: lol
* Cole really does stare out the window. "What is that?"
<Red_Fox> "I... don't know..."
<DeathStar> 6* A hail goes out to the Protoship.
<Shiva> I must attend to this new matter. *she moves over to the wall terminal, unlocking the door*
* Rylon sighs and continues walking along
* Cole moved toward the Bridge, leaving Ry and Fox behind if they didn't follow him.
* Red_Fox follows
* Shiva steps onto the bridge and sits on the helm.
<Arhn> ...I'm coming too... *heads for the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia follows after Arhn.
<DeathStar> NRP: *a chain gang forms*
* Shiva brings the hail onto the Bridge's Comm system.
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick's face appears. "Well, well. Shiva Sevintes." 6He says, raising a brow.
<Rylon> 2Indeed headed toward the bridge, and turned a corner..running directly into Arhn. His idle knife didn't help the matter, as there was a pricking feeling in her left arm. Suddenly Ry draw back, looking embarassed 14"..Uh-Uh, sorry lost my train of thought..are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia pauses, eyeing Ry and then Arhn.
<Shiva> I should've known it'd be you...Did you miss me that much that you had to fly this far out for me?
* Cole slides into the bridge, staring at John.
<DeathStar> <John> Hardly. 6He says flatly, obviously not here for her. He doesn't even seem all that friendly toward her.
<Arhn> Shhh...
<Shiva> I see...What is it that we owe this appearance?
<DeathStar> <John> I'm looking for Ry. 6He notes. "Is he around?"
* Rylon blinks, at her responce..then heads into the Bridge..only to see Johns fat mug. All he did was stare
* Red_Fox stares also, seeing John McCormick on the comm
<Arhn> Here is your Ry, Mr. McCormick.
<DeathStar> <John> Captain McCormick. 6He interrupts.
<Arhn> Of course.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, Ry. I've shown up like promised. Now can you and I have little one on one over here on my ship?
<Rylon> 14"..you want to fight..now?"
* Cole looks over at Ry, then his eyes move back to John's face.
* Shiva looks over at Ry, then at John.
<DeathStar> <John> Just...get over here. 6He says impatiently, obviously wanting off the comm. "We can have that fight privately over here."
<Arhn> ...fight?
<Red_Fox> "..."
* Rylon sighs, glancing over at the others. 14"Well we should catch up anyway..mind if I take my craft over to his little get up?"
* Cole just smirks. "Fight...." He shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia stares at the situation, clearly unclear why yet another human knows their planet's location
<Rylon> NRP: *Humans had a show on it, Erusians gone wild*
* Shiva eyes Rylon then looks over at Arhn.
<Arhn> ...just...what fight?
<Cole> A one on one match, I'd assume.
<Rylon> 14"Uhhh well..long story short..on my little endevor to..Tsi territory..I promised John a fight..so Arhn..permssion?"
<Rylon> *permission*
<DeathStar> 6* John yells over his shoulder at some other crew member. "Keep it down over there"
<Red_Fox> "That does sound like Ry."
* Cole shrugs after a moment.
<DeathStar> <John> Red says hello to you Arhn. 6He says after a moment, clearly being pestered.
<Arhn> ...he's there too...?
<DeathStar> 6* John just gives a smile.
* Red_Fox sighs, remembering THAT guy
<Cole> The pervert guy? *he tilts his head, glancing around*
<Arhn> Ok, you boys can go play. Captain McCormick, I expect Ry home before dinner.
* Rylon laughs a bit. 14"Well..I gotta go now..with or without your blessing..c ya in a bit!" 2There was a little excitment, as Ry took off down the hallway, directly toward the hangar.
<DeathStar> <John> My promise. 6He says with a grin, closing the connection
<Red_Fox> "Well, that's John McCormick, with his amazing talent for getting into comm systems."
<Shiva> He just hailed us Red Fox.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> He wishes to go over there to fight?
<Arhn> Warrior thing, evidently.
* Cole just stares at the ship on the screen, arms crossed as he thinks
* Rylon gets into his ship, and takes off toward John's transport.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> And this ... does not seem suspicious? 6He asks, clearly not following.
<Red_Fox> "For anyone but Ry, it would.. Ry's just... that sort."
<Shiva> They've had their past together. I know John personally, he can be trusted.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> May I take a look at your arm? 6He asks Arhn suddenly.
<Arhn> ...why?
* Shiva glances at Lombardia.
* Cole perks his head to look at Lombardia.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I just wish to see something.
* Arhn holds out her arm...
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia glances, seeing a small wound from a knife prick.
<Arhn> ...it was an accident.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Hm. Yes, I'm sure it was just that. I am overly cautious right now. 6He lets go of her arm.
<Cole> Being overly cautious would be sending her to be checked for poison. *he says offhandly, staring out still*
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia pauses. "Yes. I would like to do that. Would you accompany me to the ship's medical bay?"
* Cole blinks and looks over at him. "I was only joking."
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I'm not.
* Shiva watches the two.
<Arhn> ...fine then.
<Red_Fox> "If it guarantees her safety, I'm all for it."
* Shiva motions to Cole.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia moves out with Arhn, leading her toward what would be the general location of the medical bay.
* Cole glances at Shiva. "Yes?"
* Arhn follows...
<Shiva> Follow them.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Are you okay? 6He asks Arhn, some concern showing despite his normally impassive exterior.
* Cole nods and quickly moves out to follow, though he attempts to be stealthy.
<Arhn> I am perfectly alright.
* Red_Fox follows quietly, keeping out of sight
<Red_Fox> NRP: Where's a cardboard box when you need one? :P
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> In all regards? 6He asks.
* Shiva watches Red Fox take off, wondering what's with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Crew members watch Fox and Cole stalk their prey.
<Arhn> My concern is primarily with the Ascendancy.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I am curious - what do you think should be done?
<Arhn> I think we need to loosen the traditions...we can no longer go on like this..
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I agree. But the Myhr want too much too fast.
<DeathStar> 6* They move into the medical bay, where Warren is still hooked up on breathing machines. Lombardia moves a doctor over to Arhn, asking him to scan her arm.
<Arhn> ...some of them do...
<Rylon> NRP: *They find monkey feces*
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I still believe someone on your team might be helping them.
* Cole keeps posted outside, making sure Lombardia doesn't pull anything.
* Red_Fox waits outside also
<Arhn> I hope not...
<DeathStar> 6* Ry's shuttle leaves the ship and the ship cloaks again, vanishing from sight.

* Now talking in #pax-season6session12subErusian
* Rylon has joined #pax-season6session12subErusian
<DeathStar> 6* Ry lands in the hanger, where John waits with Red standing there. John has his arms crossed.
* Rylon gets out, his hands behind his back. 14"I assume this isn't really about the fight"
<DeathStar> <John> No. 6He says with a snort. "This is about a certain note."
<Rylon> 14"Yes..the Katrina thing"
<DeathStar> <John> Your race is one of the oldest. I've come looking for ancient ruins so I can try to find a connection with Erevis.
<Rylon> 14"There are plenty here, but in case you havn't noticed..there is a civil conflict rising. You came to the wrong person about the locations of our ancient ruins.."
<DeathStar> <John> Correct me wrong, but this is a perfect time to go sneaking aroumnd.
<DeathStar> <John> Besides, I'm a pirate. I go where I want.
<Rylon> 14"So that's what you are now? Impressive career choice"
<DeathStar> <John> Thank you. I just thought I'd give you a heads up since you paid me the same respect.
<Rylon> 14"How far are you willing to go for this information?"
<DeathStar> <John> As far as it takes. I am a man without morales. 6He notes.
<Rylon> 14"I have a location, of someone that could be of a help..a Yloi Council Member. Needless to say..he has many locations of ancient ruins, but he isn't willing to dish out his answers peacefully"
<DeathStar> <John> Ah, a needs a little incentive.
<Rylon> 14"Indeed"
<DeathStar> <John> Great. Point me in his direction.
<Rylon> 2He sighs and pulls something from his backpocket, a small note pad he carries with him often. 14"Uh..got a pen?"
<DeathStar> 6* John fumbles around in his coat, then pulls out one, tossing it over.
* Rylon grabs it, and begins to write something down. He rips it from the note pad handing it to John. 14"If you find out anything, feel free to share..I'm interested in Ancient ruins myself, and why the Yloi are obsessed over them"
<DeathStar> <John> Sure. You were up front with me, I can be up front with you.
<Rylon> 14"There's going to be a conflict soon, watch yourself"
<DeathStar> <John> I'm good at avoiding taking sides.
<Rylon> 14"Surprising, Armed Rebels verse the Government, figured you would jump on that" 2He laughed a little, smiling innocently.
<DeathStar> <John> I find that my concerns have narrowed. 6He notes, pocketing the notepad.
<Rylon> 14"Understandable, good luck..if you ever need my help you know where to find me. Oh, and punch me a few times.
<DeathStar> 6* John punches him right in the eye without any more incentive.
* Rylon head reels back from the impact, and he squints from the shoot..as if trying to regain himself from the daze. 14"You jumped right on that huh?"
<DeathStar> <John> Fuck yeah.
* Rylon sighs, rubbing his eyes. 14"That outta do it" 2He said, and hobbles over toward the hangar.
<DeathStar> 6* John turns to Red. "Lets go fishing."
* Rylon gets into his ship, and takes off.
Session Close: Tue Jul 18 21:21:24 2006

<Rylon> 2He heads toward the Prototype, and lands. Ry gets out after he lowers the ramp, with a black eye. 14"..I need ice.."
* Shiva eyes the ship cloaking. 1"That guy..."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors finish scanning Arhn's arm.
* Rylon heads toward the medical bay for an ice pack.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> No signs of anything that I can find.
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> Thank you. I was just being overly cautious.
* Rylon passes Red and Cole in the hallway. 14"Yello" 2He said in a greeting, stepping in. 14"Hey doc..where's the Ice packs?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor motions Ry to where they are located.
* Rylon moves into the cabinet and grabs one, tilting his head back and placing it on.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia studies Ry silently.
* Arhn nods.
* Rylon holds in on his eyes, his remaining eye moving to stare at Lombardia. 14"Can I..help you?"
<DeathStar> <Lombardia> I do not believe so. 6He steps out of the medical bay, glancing at Red and Cole oddly.
* Rylon stares at Arhn. 14"..what's his problem?"
* Cole holds up a peace sign to Lombardia.
<DeathStar> 6* The prototype ship is unable to pick up John's vessel after it moves away.
<Arhn> ...he thinks you are a threat...
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia returns the gesture, assuming it's some human thing. He then returns to the bridge. "I wish to stay on the ship for the time being. May I have a room assigned to me?"
<Cole> NRP: TOo bad Cole isn't Huuuman. :P
<Red_Fox> NRP: No, he's a Reploi-wait, wrong RPG
<Cole> NRP: :D
<Rylon> 14"Yeah well I think the same about him. He's a politician thick and true, down to his very core..they say one thing and turn around and do another, those are usually the worst"
<Cole> NRP: You missed it Fox. He has his beam katars again!
* Shiva looks over at Lombardia. 1"Understood. 6She types on her terminal, then pulls out a small holocard handing it to him. 1"This is your room.
<DeathStar> 6* Lombardia takes it, nodding once to her as he moves to his room, wishing to be alone, much like Arhn does.
<Arhn> I am a politician too, Rylon...
* Cole remains outside the medbay, not leaving until Arhn is clear.
<Rylon> 14"You're quite different then him" 14"Lombardia is a man who follows his own ambitions, in my eyes..he only carries about you because you are of great use to him..if you were not..he'd discard you like rotten meat"
<Rylon> *cares*
<Arhn> ...I see...
<Rylon> 14"No..I don't think you do..drink?" 2He said, and unpopped the cap on his flask.
<Arhn> No thank you...
<Rylon> 14"Suit yourself.." 2He tilts his head back, taking a large swig.
