<DeathStar> Location: The Household - 30 mins before mission briefing.
<DeathStar> 6* With Xanatos currently busy elsewhere, the ladies of the Team Darien have the house to themselves...
* Cassandra_Arakawa is in the
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Grrrrr...
* Cassandra_Arakawa is in the living room, doing some aerobics in front of the TV.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on the couch, fully dressed, drawing in her notepad as Cassandra works out
* Setsuna` is boredly flopped in one of the chairs. Her activity has been limited since being blown up.
* Cassandra_Arakawa bends over to touch her toes.
<DeathStar> 6* The clock ticks quietly as time passes.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> How much longer until our free time gets blown?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 15 minutes and 23 seconds.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Wonder what's up this time...
<DeathStar> NRP: *Darien has them try on swimsuits*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is most likely an assignment involving spy type activities.
<Setsuna`> "And here I thought we'd be delivering pizza."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Mmm-hmmm...that's a given.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are attempting ... humor. 6She notes to Setsuna
<Setsuna`> "No. I was performing sarcasm."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And what is the difference?
<Setsuna`> "The later doesn't nessisarily try to be funny."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... see.
* Cassandra_Arakawa switched off her workout video.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Shall we leave now?
<Setsuna`> "Yeah, don't seem to have much reason to stay here, do we?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Only if we do not wish to do a mission.
* Setsuna` ponders. "It'd be a good way to get fired."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Judging by the Commodore's situation, he could not easily fire uds
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Let's get going then.
* Cassandra_Arakawa has quit IRC (Quit: See ya!)
* Cassandra_Arakawa has joined #pax-season6session18TeamDarien
<DeathStar> NRP: Wouuuuuld you guys like to do a Darien mission another day?
<Setsuna`> NRP: Up to Jackie
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: ...I'm fine in here...I'm just tired of playing the foil to Kio's ego masturbation! >.<!!!!
<DeathStar> NRP: He did get the Tsivrixsh to agree to bring in supplies, though
* Setsuna` shrugs a little, and heads to the vehicle. Not overly enthused about working today.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Enough for an entire multi-system state?!
<DeathStar> NRP: No, and you can point that out.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Ok...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: One more shot then...
<DeathStar> -End- here, though, since I can tell this is not a night of joy.

* DS_LovesYouAllButSera is now known as DeathStar
* Ariel has joined #pax-season6session18TeamDragoon
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru has joined #pax-season6session18TeamDragoon
<DeathStar> Hello, you two. My name is DS.
<DeathStar> I am your friend.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> You're Dias?
<DeathStar> ...no
* Dias has joined #pax-season6session18TeamDragoon
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> LOL, nice timing Dias
<Dias> I try.

<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: Where We Last Left Off...
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe eyes Hotaru, spinning the scythe back and forth in front of her, ready for the battle engagement. Avalon, meanwhile, dashes toward Ariel, unleashing a horizontal slash 5 meters away from her.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru stands ready, then darts to one side, spinning to lunge at Scythe's side
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe leaps straight up and lands behind Hotaru, swinging her scythe around behind her to try to impale Hotaru in the back
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru darts forward, spinning around to face Scythe once more
* Ariel leaps back warily.
<DeathStar> 6* As Ariel leaps back, Avalon steps forward and slashes again, this time unleashing an actual beam slash at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe turns to face Hotaru, eyeing her
* Dias maneuvers away from the fight but close enough to watch.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru watches Scythe, standing ready, looking for a weakness in her defences
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe's posture practically screams for an attack anywhere, as she seems completely without defensive posture.
* Ariel hops back once again as she lands, and quickly a third time. Though on the third landing she moves to jump again, leaping forward, over the beam slash, and bringing her blade downwards towards Avalon
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru rushes forward, slashing at Scythe
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe ducks the attack, then quickly swings out the sharp part of the scythe at Hotaru's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon steps to the side with uncanny speed, and swings his sword around at Ariel's chest, his speed seemingly faster than her own at this point
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru jumps, flipping backwards away from the attack, then steps forwards once more as she spins her scythe out at Scythe
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe stands as she jumps backwards, then slides to the side as she attacks the air where she once was standing. Her scythe is held out as she slides, aiming to catch Hotaru's stretched out arm
* Ariel is certainly taken off guard. She lands low, pulling into a roll as she moves under the slash, and rolling to her feet. She seems a little nervous now, as she holds her blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon turns to face Ariel. "Very good. Excellent form!"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves back, barely avoiding the scythe
<DeathStar> 6* In the background, the sounds of gun explosions can be heard as Zephyr and Vector try to blast each other away.
* Ariel slides back a step. "...you've improved."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru takes a breathe, standing in a defensive stance for now, preparing
<DeathStar> <Avalon> The more we fight, the more alive I feel. 6He notes, turning to fully face her, spreading his arms out. "Let us show each other the true extent of our abilities."
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe turns to face Hotaru, spinning her scythe in her right hand freely, able to grab the handle each time she spins it around
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You're not going to attack?"
<DeathStar> <Scythe> My attacks will come when they are ready to strike you dead.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You might as well give up now, then."
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe holds out her scythe sideways, both hands gripping the handle now. She begins to concentrate, the scythe glowing red.
* Dias climbs up onto a rock to get a better vantage point and watches.
* Ariel tenses, focusing to ignore the heat. "... as you wish." She darts forward, pulling her blade back. As she starts to close on Avalon, she fires three quick energy blasts from her hand, aimed at his shoulders, before switching her grip back to her blade, and swinging with both hands.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru crouches slightly, as if ready to dash
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru darts forwards, scythe readied
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon stands his ground, blocking the attacks with his sword defetly, swinging it into place before the attack lands. He then holds up his blade to parry against Ariel's, using only one hand to do all this. With his free left hand, he forms an energy attack ball, using his armor it appears. He slams it out toward Ariel's chest while he attempts to keep her blade busy
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe spins her weapon suddenly, forming a circular red glow. She punches it and sends it flying at Hotaru
* Ariel is slammed by the energy blast, sent flying back across the plateau.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru leaps over the scythe, as if expecting such, landing near Scythe and spinning her own scythe at her
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon dashes forward along the ground, the heat only improving him it seems. He cups his blade along the ground, treading it through the hard rock as he gets closer to Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe brings out her scythe as Hotaru dodges the red glow, bringing it up to parry her atack.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru kicks out at Scythe's chest as her attack is parried, trying to knock her back
* Ariel rolls to the side as Avalon gets close, trying to kick his feet out from under him as she pushes herself to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe is kicked, taking a few steps backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon leaps to the side the moment she moves, no longer in the path of the kick. He spins and throws his sword out at her, aiming to cleave her shoulder with it
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru brings her scythe around for another attack, aiming for Scythe's shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe spins to the side out of the way, spinning like a whirlwind up toward Hotaru's side now, the scythe lashing out at her side.
* Ariel blocks awkwardly, knocking the attack aside, but throwing her off balance.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru spins to the side to dodge, unable to block so soon
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon dashes forward, the sword shattering as it's knocked away and reforming in his hand. He swings out at her chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe kicks out as Hotaru steps to the side, hoping to clip her in the head.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru ducks ineffectually, still knocked back by the blow, readying her scythe again
* Ariel disgards her blade, as she has no time to parry, instead opting to catch Avalon's blade in an energy field between her hands, struggling to hold it there.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon shatters the blade when she catches it, hoping it would knock her back. He holds out his hand attempts to use his armor's ability to launch an energy attack into Ariel's face.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru swings her scythe at Scythe's leg, still not completely balanced yet
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe hops up and to the side, eyeing Hotaru.
* Ariel was already moving into her next maneuver when the blade shatters. She's knocked back slightly, and falls. Her hands catch the ground first, and she uses them to brace herself as she plants both feet against Avalon's chest.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru watches Scythe for a moment, then advances, swinging her scythe at Scythe's shoulder again, then sweepkicking at Scythe's legs in one smooth motion
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon slides back. He holds out his hands, forming two of the same sword. He spins around, bringing back swords in at an horizontal strike angle.
* Dias tenses up at the battle, obviously wanting to do something but can't.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe takes the obvious dodge route of leaping back 2 meters.
* Ariel rolls back and handstands to her feet, just trying to get out of reach of the two blades.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon stops his spin, then brings them down in an x slash motion at her chest.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru darts after Scythe, trying another slash at Scythe's midsection
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe suddenly leaps straight up, trying to spin the scythe into Hotaru's gut as she does.
* Ariel moves foward quickly, holding her blade above her head to catch the swords, as she trys to shouldercheck Avalon. She's starting to show signs of tiring in this heat.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru jumps up over the scythe, trying to slam the other end of her scythe into Scythe's gut as she does
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon slides backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe twists, it cutting her along the side. She lands.
* Ariel desperately pushes forward, she shifts her grip, trying to bring her blade up in a wide, vertical, slice.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru readies her scythe once more before she even lands, swinging again at Scythe.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon tilts his body to the right, avoiding the slash. It seems, if anything, he's getting stronger as the fight continues. He slashes out at Ariel's right leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe ducks into a roll, turning to get away.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Giving up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe dashes forward, swinging her scythe out at Hotaru's head.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru ducks under the scythe easily, sweepkicking at Scythe's legs again
* Ariel is slashed, and stumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon brings his sword around quickly for Ariel's shoulder, like a jackal onto a wounded animal
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe hops over the sweep kick, swinging her scythe at Hotaru's face.
* Ariel quickly fires a blast at Avalon's chest, hoping it'll slow him enough for her to move away.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru brings her scythe to block, using the momentum to try to throw Scythe mid-jump
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon grunts as it does indeed slow him down enough to miss.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe overloads the scythe and lets go as she's thrown away. The scythe explodes mere inches from Hotaru
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru is thrown backwards by the blast, unable to properly defend against this
* Ariel quickly rolls aside, and back to her knees, facing Avalon. She doesn't like how this is going, and worries about how well the others are doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe gets to her feet, dashes forward toward Hotaru, aiming to kick out at her.
<DeathStar> <Avalon> This battle has already been decided, Ariel. 6He says, noting her weakness growing.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru jumps up, kicking back at Scythe as she approaches, then backflipping away unless dodges
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: DodgeD
* Ariel pulls herself to her feet slowly. "...you... are not victorious... yet..."
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon swings out both swords, forming an energy beam high and one low, that moves out horizontally at Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe leaps to the side to avoid the kick.
* Ariel concentrates, channeling more of her energy into her blade, the energy glowing more intensely. She cuts down the two beams, facing Avalon with a determination that exceeds her strength.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru lands on her feet, a little unsteadily, but nevertheless upright. "That... was sneaky. You're a tougher opponent than I thought."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "But.. now, I have the upper hand."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru swings her scythe at Scythe, but not as quickly as she did before. The blast has taken a lot out of her.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe leaps back. "Then I will even the score." 6She begins to form her scythe again, albeit slower than AValon.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... how many of those do you have...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon grins. "Excellent." 6He dashes forward, swinging one sword at Ariel's right cheek, the other sword held close to him
* Ariel doesn't stop the blade as it grazes her cheek, drawing blood. Instead she pulls her own blade back to her hip, and swings for Avalon's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon uses his second sword to parry it aside, bringing back his attacking arm/sword back toward him
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves forwards once more, swinging her scythe once more, obviously tiring
* Ariel lets go with one hand as Avalon parrys, quickly forming her second blade to stab at Avalon's opposite side.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe blocks her attack with the scythe, which shatters upon contact. She didn't have time to finish building it
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon is cut along the side, his armor cracking a bit. He kicks out at Ariel with his left foot.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru brings her scythe around for another attack, glaring. "Just.. surrender... already..."
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe flips into the air, aiming to drop kick Hotaru.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins her whip around the lancer and snaps it, sending him crashing to the ground. A sweft kick to the head and it follows with a terrible crack.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru sidesteps, spinning, aiming a roundhouse kick at Scythe for when she lands
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe is hit, rolling along the ground away from Hotaru. She begins to form her weapon again.
* Ariel stumbles back from the kick, moving her two blades to stand defensively.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon swings out his sword, trying to break her defensive with sheer brute strength
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves forward, swinging at the forming weapon to break it, then kicking out at Scythe. "Why won't you just GIVE UP!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe grunts. "I'll never quit."
* Ariel trys to block, but in this situation, she doesn't have the strength she needs. Avalon cuts through her blades, cutting a gash through her armour.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You can't win!"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Are you going to throw your life away over something like this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Ariel, then hurries to attack Avalon from behind. Avalon stands over Ariel, holding his swords ready.
<DeathStar> <Scythe> If I must.
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe attempts to backflip away.
* Dias twitches slightly as he watches intently, his focus fully on the fight
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires at Vector, who blocks with her shield. She fires back at Zephyr, blowing a large hole in the ground behind the younger Dragoon, causing lava to errupt through the ground in a sploosh
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I... guess I can understand... but it's still a meaningless battle!"
* Ariel notices Cheryl, and tackles Avalon's legs.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon is knocked back onto the ground. He attempts to use his leg strength to retaliate by knocking Ariel up and away.
<DeathStar> <Scythe> There is nothing meaningless about this fight. 6She eyes Hotaru, too weak to form another weapon
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You're getting nothing from this.. there's no noble cause to die for..."
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe dashes at Hotaru, tapping something on her own armor.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru slashes at Scythe as she approaches, then, whether she hits or misses, leaps back
<DeathStar> 6* A gash appears across Scythe, but she doesn't stop. She tries to grab Hotaru in a bear hug
* Dias eyes widen and he screams at Hotaru. 1"HE'S GOING TO EXPLODE!
* Ariel is knocked back, rolling a little before she pulls herself to her feet. Her chest wound is agrivated, and has started to bleed. She holds both her hands before her, forming her blade in both hands.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru ducks under the grab, kicking off Scythe's armour in an effort to get as far away as possible
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon gets to his feet. "This was a fight worth remembering, Ariel." 6He notes, getting ready to press the attack when Cheryl throws out her whip for his neck
<DeathStar> 6* The armor is knocked up and explodes, knocking Scythe down.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru stumbles, watching this... the fight took a LOT out of her...
* Ariel closes her eyes, as she fires an energy bolt towards the whip.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... does our destruction really mean that much to you...?"
<DeathStar> 6* The whip is knocked off course. Cheryl stares. "Why did you do that?!" 6Avalon turns around in surprise.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru drops to her knees from exhaustion
<Ariel> "...make sure Zephyr is alright."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru musters all the energy she can right now just to eye the battlefield and not faint
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Ariel's losing condition, then rushes off to the Vector/Zephyr fight, which seems to grow increasingly more violent, as they blow holes into the fragile earth and unleash more and more lava. Zephyr is currently leaping around some lava right now
<DeathStar> 6* Scythe lays on the ground, too wounded to fight
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Ariel.. Cheryl... Zephyr... please take care of things..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru says those few words, and then faints
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon turns to Ariel finally. "You might have won this battle with her aid, Ariel."
<DeathStar> 6* Vector finally aims at Zephyr, firing a rail gun blast the moment the younger Dragoon lands, and obviously quicker than she can dodge.
<Ariel> "It would not be a victory I could live with."
<DeathStar> <Avalon> You are truly the greatest warrior I have ever known. 6He begins to walk toward her.
* Ariel eyes Avalon warily. She is hurt, and tired, and can't risk dropping her guard, even if she makes no hostile movements.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon dashes forward, swinging out only one sword at Ariel, testing her resolve.
<Dias> ZEPHYR! 6He leaps off the rock, dashing towards Zephyr, weavinga round lava.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is knocked back, sliding along the ground roughly. Cheryl's eyes widen as she tries to reach the battlefield.
<DeathStar> 6* Vector dashes forward, aiming the cannon again at Zephyr, not about to have interference this time
* Ariel swings her blade with both hands, to knock the sword away. She doesn't follow up with an attack, though it's uncertain if she could effectively manage one with her small reserve of strength left.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon stands there, taking small breaths.
* Ariel eyes Avalon seriously, "...battle does not need to end in death."
<DeathStar> <Avalon> Though you a worthy opponent, my purpose is to end your life.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru opens her eyes a little, recovering.. then checks Scythe for a pulse
<DeathStar> 6* Alive, barely.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru does her best to bind Scythe's wounds. If she doesn't now, it'll be too late later
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets to her feet, face dirted and bleeding. Vector fires her beam cannon at her.
<Ariel> "...do you wish it as well?"
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon pulls back with his sword, then hestitates. He drops the blade to his side. "How could I bring myself to kill a creature of beauty and grace such as yourself?" 6He shakes his head, then suddenly throws his sword around behind, it spinning out and slamming into Vector's back, knocking her to the ground.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru glances around, once she's done, unsure if she'd even be able to help her comrades if they even needed it.
* Dias leaps htrough the air, tackling Zephyr to the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* As Dias moves Zephyr, the blast hits where she once was standing, blowing it away.
<DeathStar> 6* Vector blinks in surprise, then sways, falling to the ground with Avalon's sword through her stomach.
* Ariel relaxes at that, lowering her blade. She bows her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Avalon taps his second sword against his red armor's shoulder. "The box is yours." 6He turns to begin to walk toward Scythe.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Dias in surprise. "Dias...?"
* Dias pushes himself up. 1"Zephyr ok?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She glances at Vector twitching as she dies, then looks back at Dias. "Zephyr's fine."
<Dias> Good. 6He pats her on her head.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru watches Avalon approach, and nods to him. "She's alive... though it was difficult. She almost killed herself to try to defeat me..."
<DeathStar> <Avalon> I'll take her somewhere else. 6He bends down and tosses Scythe over his shoulder.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru pauses, then smiles a little. "She's a good and loyal soldier. Please, take care of her."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru stumbles off towards Ariel tiredly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, grabbing Dias' arm as she moves over to the wounded and tired Ariel. Cheryl stops, eyeing Vector's death, then heads back.
* Ariel turns to Avalon, "...I think you, and I shall not forget any of this." She adds less formally, "..I hope we might meet again some day, without the blades."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru smiles at that as she heads over to Ariel
<DeathStar> <Avalon> Continue to improve. One such as yourself is limitless. 6He walks off into the blazing planet.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He could have killed you, Ariel. 6She says flatly.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "In their own way... they're not bad people."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I only hope that the fighting really does end here."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ariel! You're hurt! 6She grabs Ariel in a hug, ignoring her own wounds
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru pauses, noticing this now. "Ariel... are you alright?"
* Ariel closes her eyes, practically going limp. "...then Cheryl, prehaps I am fortunate. Had things continued, it is possible niether of us would have survived."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "How is everyone else...?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I... will live. I believe Scythe will also, but this is in Avalon's hands now."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "We need to get Ariel up to the ship for rest. And you could use some help yourself, Hotaru
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods weakly. "Yes.. that would be good."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bends over and scoops up Ariel, grunting a bit. She begins to carry her back toward the shuttle.
* Ariel smiles a little, "...you all did well..." And she passes out... but would hope someone gets the box.
<DeathStar> 6* They all walk off without it. It burns.
<DeathStar> NRP: KIdding it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scoops up the box, glancing at Ariel worriedly. She looks at Hotaru. "Can you walk?"
* Dias follows alongside Zephyr.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I can make it to the shuttle..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, glancing at Dias with her brown eyes. "Thank you again, Dias."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru follows Cheryl, obviously exhausted, but not about to faint yet
* Dias rubs the back of his helmet. 1"Just glad could help."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes to look at where Vector was dying, but oddly - there is no body. She frowns a bit.
* Dias glances back to see what Zephyr is looking at
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... lets go. 6She says with a shiver, despite the heat

Session Ident: #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
* Now talking in #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
* DS_LovesYouAllButSera is now known as DeathStar
* Kio has joined #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
* Jackieness has joined #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
* #pax-season6session18TeamErusian is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.2.17
<DeathStar> Location: The Cartel Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Unsuccessful in his bid to see Arhn the first time, after the death of Lombardia, Ry returns to the ship to try once again...
* Kio is now known as Rylon
* Shiva` has joined #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
<Rylon> 2He looked clearly annoyed at the situation, the suppose leader of the forces that matched him already crumbling. Ry reached the door, raising one hand to knock lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in the medical bay... Warren, having gained consciousness a little while ago, calmly speaks with the doctors while laying in his bed.
* Shiva` sits in her usualy spot on the bridge, a holo-display infront of her.
<Arhn> *c* Who is it?
<Rylon> 14"Probably the last person you want to see, Ry"
<Arhn> *c* ...enter.
<Rylon> 2He sighs, opening the door. Slowly he walks inside, letting those empty eyes stare upon her. 14"How are you holding up?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor walks away from Warren, then tells Shiva that Warren has awaken by coming her
<Arhn> ...better than you are now. After sulking for about a week, I've become busy with trying to rebuild the Ascendancy.
* Shiva` closes her holodisplay and stands up. 1"I'm heading down to Med-Bay, alert me if you need me.
<Rylon> 14"My own personal state is of little matter to me, I have things to do. There has been multiple issues that have come up, that I would like to discuss with you."
<Arhn> Such as?
* Shiva` stands up and walks off the bridge and heads down to the med-bay.
<Rylon> 14"The government, I've already took the liberty of bringing the evacuated back from multiple outposts on other planets..and burying the dead in the manners that they left use. However, I cannot instate the government, without you"
<Rylon> *us*
<Arhn> I am already at work doing that. A provisional council is now at work. At present, I am the acting head of state.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays in the bed, rubbing the beard that was growing while he slept.
<Rylon> 14"And you couldn't..bother to tell me?"
* Shiva` steps into the Med-Bay and moves over to Warren. 1"How ya feeling Warren?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Shiva. "I have been better."
<Shiva`> Well getting shived twice by someone you thought was a friend can be pretty traumatic. 6She moves over to his bed, leaning againts a railing. 1I'm glad you survived Warren.
<Arhn> Rylon...you are a political liability. You aren't exactly popular with the people right now.
<Rylon> 14"Enough Arhn, just like I'm not popular with your people..you arn't popular with my people. Excuses won't help, it will just end up with the same outcome. Now, personal pride aside, we need to cooperate..since I have been taking means to instate a government in your week of...grieving"
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you can call my condition surviving.
* Shiva` 's face changes slightly. 1"What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... It would appear I pushed my body too hard. I am unable to walk. The doctor says it might be only temporary if I take it easy and do not push myself.
* Shiva` cups her hands together, rubbing her fingers. 1"So the real question is, are you going to take it easy?
<Arhn> I am not talking about "my people". I am talking about everyone...the mothers who cnanot feed their children...the displaced...the victims of our collapsed economy. The victims of a food supply that is only 50% of what we need for this year. Do you realize that Erusian currency is now worthless? We cannot attend to basic needs. So quit with your self-glorifying crusade for once!
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Shiva`> Warren...I can get you a nice vacation, on a secluded island, 80 degree all year round....I suppose I could even get a shooting range installed for youl.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No thank you.
<Rylon> 2Ry simply begins to laugh at Arhn. 14"Do not take me for a fool Arhn, I set up multiple trade routes in the midst of the rebellion to stock supplies for the rebuilding process, I came fully ready for this. I even convinced the Tsi to pull supplies to help. I HAVE been attending basic needs, I've been doing everything in my power to do so..and you're so caught up in opinions you don't seem to 2
<Rylon> 2 try to help them. Just because you say I am unpopular does not make it so, you simply choose to see me as unpopular..personally I am not here for other peoples opinions..I'm here to help this process, then I'm gone" 2
* Arhn has quit IRC (Quit: See ya!)
<Shiva`> I didn't think you would...6She rolls over, now leaning against Warren's bed.1So what do you plan on doing then?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Prepare myself for the next problem at hand.
<Shiva`> Which is?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Black Angel.
* Shiva` tilts her head. 1"Black Angel?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... a topic best left to Arhn to discuss with you.
<Shiva`> Is this...one of those Planet Killer things?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Shiva`> You know...I could always have you put back into a coma till your body heals fully.
<Shiva`> I mean, what are you gonna do? Walk away?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do not need help. I will deal with this in my own way.
<Shiva`> Of course...You were never one to sit back and relax for a bit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The doctor briefed me on what happened. Is the Erusian world in that bad of a shape?
<Shiva`> If you ask me...worse. Ry may have made a small stock pile of supplies for the aftermath but I don't believe he was preprared for the damage that would result. There money's worth nothing since they never traded with anyone besides the Cartel, meaning they'll be in deep debt. The Tsiv may be giving them some supplies but I have a feeling it's going to cost them dearly in the end. It's been over a week now and there's be
<Shiva`> Government structure started....And with Arhnya spending all her time sulking in her room, there people are beginning to lose hope.
<Shiva`> If things continue the way they are, I'll give them 2 months before Erusia falls back into chaos.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. So it appears it's over for Erusia.
<Shiva`> There is hope...But the cost will be dear...
<Shiva`> And it all depends on how much more they are willing to sacrifice toin hopes of getting back what they lost.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
* Shiva` just looks at Warren. 1"I hardly thought that this is what Ry had wanted in the end but it's sure wis what he's getting.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I understand.
<Rylon> 2Well the conversation with Arhn ended way too quickly, and he moved back onto the Aegis. A large growl occured underneath his breath. 14"Tal Al, begin to gather Erusian weapons and armor..we'll have no more need for it, we are going to sell them in exchange for supplies..lots of it" 2He clicks his com off
* Cassandra_Arakawa has joined #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
* Cassandra_Arakawa has left #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
* Jackieness has joined #pax-season6session18TeamErusian
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays back on the bed. "And what will the Cartel do about this broken Ascendancy?"
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<Shiva`> We've offered the bare minimum for now, but...if they want our full help we'll lend it to them, of course it will mean something of equal worth or more in it's stead.
<DeathStar> <Warren> According to you, they have nothing left to offer. They can barely feed.
<DeathStar> (themselves)
<Shiva`> There's minerals that they wouldn't let us mine, areas of the planet of limit, and some technology that they wouldn't even glance towards.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. Take what you can get while you can, no doubt.
<Shiva`> It's not like that Warren. The Cartel never leave an ally to die, it's bad business.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course, we know about business with the Cartel.
<Shiva`> We've already invested a lot in this conflict, valuable lives, ships...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Indeed.
<Shiva`> I know you don't trust The Cartel, but if we were as big and bad as you claim, we would've done something already.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Time is more valuable than people realize. That is why Rylon brought such devastation to this world - he did not get enough of it
<Shiva`> I could only wish things would've came out for the better.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Where is Arhn?
* Shiva` pulls out her datapad, typing on it. 1"She's still in her room."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. .... and Fox?
* Shiva` eyes his datapad.
<Shiva`> NRP: her
<Shiva`> I think she's in the cafeteria.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Get me a wheelchair. 6He orders the doctor. The doctor nods, moving to a back room
<Shiva`> You do know you're no good if push yourself too hard.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll keep that in mind.
* Arhn steps out of her room, arms crossed.
<Arhn> Then we have a compromise.
<Rylon> 2He steps out after her, hands off to his sides. 14"As I would have liked. Now, this so called "monster" shall be taking his leave..farewell Arhn" 2He bows his head slightly, heading to the hangar
<DeathStar> 6* As the wheelchair is brought over, Warren uses his arm muscle to get himself into it, wincing in pain
* Shiva` just stands there watching, obviously not making a motion to help him.
* Arhn then walks to the infirmary.
<DeathStar> 6* After succeeding, Warren takes a few breaths, obviously tired. He glances up as Arhn enters.
<Arhn> It is good to see you out of bed, Warren.
<Shiva`> Not really, he should be staying in bed.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am fine. 6He notes to Arhn, dismissing Shiva
<DeathStar> ('shivas statement)
* Red_Fox does indeed sit in the cafeteria, thinking on the situation
<Arhn> Well, we are finally getting things put into a semblance of order now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> So you reached an agreement.
<Shiva`> An agreement?
<Arhn> Yes...
<Shiva`> And what is that?
<Arhn> Rylon will deal with security matters. I shall handle politics and economics.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It will take your planet ages to recover. Then you two shall remain here?
<Arhn> We have little choice, I fear...
<DeathStar> <Warren> I understand. And your pact with Xevil? 6He notes darkly. "Will your government honor that deal Ry made?"
* Shiva` eyes Arhn, watching her response.
<Arhn> We shall follow the terms of the agreement...however...Shiva, I wish to offer the Cartel similar terms as a counterbalance to Tsivirxsh influence.
<Shiva`> May I add a suggestion. The terms are vague enough that they don't state how many people can go in at one time.
<Arhn> I am listening...
<Shiva`> So keep it to one person at a time, 5 guards.
<Shiva`> You can give The Cartel the same treatment themselves.
<Shiva`> And you will to keep the playing feel even that way.
* Arhn nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there quietly, saying nothing as Shiva speaks. He's clearly playing a poker face.
<Arhn> Warren, when you are feeling better...I wish to discuss another, albeit related matter with you in private.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I can speak now, if you wish. 6He grabs the wheels of the chair to push himself after Arhn.
<Shiva`> Lady Arhnya, The Cartel wish to talk about the future of Erusia.
<Shiva`> When you have time of course.
<Arhn> Of course. *then proceeds to her quarters where she can speak with Warren*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows after her, wheeling himself along.
* Arhn enters her quarters then closes the door once Warren is inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cups his hands together, eyeing her from his position
<Shiva`> NRP: *sadly the doors aren't wide enough for Warren to wheel through and he gets' wedged
<Arhn> I do not trust the Tsiv enough to give them access to any Progenitor technology...
<DeathStar> <Warren> I would agree.
<Arhn> With the damage to our capital world, we cna make a pretty good case of losing the records telling us where our caches are...which is actually true...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods.
* Shiva` steps out of the med-bay then heads back upto the Bridge
<Arhn> But...that would just buy us time. My solution is this...if the Ascendancy itself is no longer in ownership of the artifacts...then...well...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Who would take ownership of the artifacts?
<Arhn> That is why I wish to speka to you...I want to make this proposal...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at her, raising a brow.
<Arhn> I want you to be the architect of an organization that works behind the scenes of galactic affairs for the present...preparing for the inevitable invasion of the galaxy by the True Enemy.
<Shiva`> NRP: not true enemy, but True Enemy
<Arhn> NRP: Yes! In caps!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head once. "I'm afraid I'll have to turn you down, Arhnya."
<Arhn> ...why?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do not work well behind the scenes and attempt to change situations. I am a simple man who fights the enemy present in front of me. After we are ready to deal and stop Black Angel, I will be returning to Earth."
<Arhn> I see...then think about it...I need someone I cna trust...give me a name...this needs to be done.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will see what I can do for you. But I find there is very few people left that one can trust with affairs. I need to go speak with Fox. 6He turns to go.
<Arhn> Of course...thank you for everything, Warren...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. 6He wheels himself out.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-584.2.17
<DeathStar> Location: Janus Black Ops
* Chad`Winters sits before his desk, a small metal tube infront of him with a panel open.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade is standing by some officers, talking to them. His face is covered in a blonde stubble as he speaks with them, clearly about matters of importance.
* Chad`Winters probes something on it's circuit board then looks over at a meter.
<DeathStar> 6* The men walk away from Spade, who stands there. He moves over to stand at the master computer monitoring the various places on Earth
* Chad`Winters closes the panel and twists the top, a small red light glowing.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Chad. 6He calls out finally, turning to face him. He motions for him to come to him
* Chad`Winters twists the device again, the light shutting off. He stands up and moves over to Spade. 1"What's up?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> I have an idea that I wish you to follow up on.
<Chad`Winters> I'm listening.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I wish for you to go to Eve Summer's house and get some of her personal belongings. It might help fight the brain washing when the time comes. 6He hands her the address, and a set of keys.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Her?
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes. You are a girl now
* Chad`Winters takes the Address and the set of keys, glancing at them. 1"Sound plan in theory. I'll get on it now."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Good. I will continue to search for Serena and Eve from here.
* Chad`Winters nods to Spade and walks past his desk grabbing his coat and tossing it on. He moves to the elevator and steps on, hitting the button.
* Chad`Winters steps off the elevator and makes his way out of the base and to his bike.
<DeathStar> 6* No one moves to stop Chad as he leaves the base.
* Chad`Winters hops onto his bike and starts it up. He drives off in a loud roar towards Eve's house.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve's home, located in a nice penthouse just outside the city, is obviously paid for by Janus
* Chad`Winters pulls up outside her house, shutting the bike off. 1"Someone's loved by Janus..."
<DeathStar> NRP: *it even says so on the door: Loved by Janus*
* Chad`Winters moves up to the door and checks the door to see if it opens.
<DeathStar> 6* The door is locked, naturally.
* Chad`Winters pulls out the key and unlocks the door, stepping inside.
<DeathStar> 6* He steps into a neat and orderly living room. Everything seems to be in place - the walls have a future pictures, including some awards.
* Chad`Winters looks around, almost feeling comfortable in here. 1"This is a surprise...
<DeathStar> 6* A couch is set up in front of a small TV - apparantly not a big TV watcher.
* Chad`Winters walks through the living room, eyeing the pictures.
<DeathStar> 6* The various pictures are of family members - some of them with a younger Eve standing beside them.
* Chad`Winters stops infront of one of the ones of her young and pulls it off the wall.
* Chad`Winters sets it in backpack and moves along the house again, looking around again
<DeathStar> 6* As he enters the bedroom, he would find a single bed, with a dresser, and a bathroom connected. It seems the room's purpose is for clothes and sleeping only.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the dresser opening and closing the drawers as he glacnes inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Various female clothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Like underwear.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *grabs a pair, sniffs them and pockets them*
* Chad`Winters moves over to the bathroom, glancing inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Neatly organized. Some various female items are there to help make her look pretty.
* Chad`Winters grabs several of the make-up things, tossing them into the bag. He steps out heading out of the bathroom and back into the living room.
<DeathStar> 6* There's another room in the house left to explore.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the last room and heads into it.
<DeathStar> 6* A room full of books, lab equipment, research material, and other little things a scientist would love to have at home. There's even Chad's book on the desk
* Chad`Winters stops infront of her desk. He picks up the book, looking down at it.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems it's been read several times.
* Chad`Winters puts it in the bag then grabs several of her lab notes, paging through them.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems she was indeed researching Origin - trying to figure out why the substance had so many elements never seen anywhere - in fact, Eve had to name them herself
* Chad`Winters speed reads through several pages of the book then sets it in the bag.
<DeathStar> 6* One book remains - a personal diary of sorts, it appears
<Chad`Winters> /me moves over picking up the diary. 1"I'm going to get my ass kicked for this."
* Chad`Winters moves over picking up the diary. 1"I'm going to get my ass kicked for this." 6He flips it open glancing through it.
<DeathStar> 6* There's lots of entries, though he might be more curious in later ones.
* Chad`Winters pauses, then goes to the day they first met.
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, there is an entry. At first it's stating about the work on her project, then it goes to mention Chad Winters, going on about how intelligent she heard he was and how she was glad to have a chance to speak with him. It mentions she hopes she can hear more of his ideas.
* Chad`Winters flips through to the day they went out to the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire entry is about Chad now. It would appear Eve thinks he's very attractive, sexy, and smart. Though she does make a note that he and his sister don't get along.
* Chad`Winters just smirks, he briefs through to the next date.
<DeathStar> 6* It discusses the training and how she's never known she could hurt muscles she's never used before. It makes mention, though, it's a good feeling to be able to learn something new like this
* Chad`Winters flips to the next page
<DeathStar> 6* A page of notes about ways to possiblely improve the fighting styles, if the theory and formulas are correct.
* Chad`Winters reads the notes, memorizing them quickly. He then goes to the next page
<DeathStar> 6* Talking about more training with Chad and how she looks forward to spending more time with him. It seems this is her last entry.
<Chad`Winters> This should do...*he sets it in his bag. He then glances around the room one last time*
<DeathStar> 6* It's a fine lab.
* Chad`Winters leans against the wall, he pats the wall then walks off, grabing another picture off the wall and putting in the bag then moves to exit.
<DeathStar> 6* A fist flies out at Chad.
* Chad`Winters is nailed and he stumbles back.
<DeathStar> 6* A shadowed person aims a gun at him and fires.
* Chad`Winters twists his body, letting the shot nail him in the stomach. He reaches down to his waist and pulls out his own gun pushing down against it and firing it towards the shadowed person.
<DeathStar> 6* The person falls backwards - hitting the ground with a thud
* Chad`Winters grabs his stomach in a groan. 1"Son of a..." 1He moves over to the person holding his gun towards them.
* Chad`Winters steps infront of the person, looking down at them.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a V.I. assassin, it appears.
* Chad`Winters reaches down, checking their pulse
<DeathStar> 6* Dead.
* Chad`Winters reaches down to his comm and clicks it. 1"Spade, the goods are in the bag but I had a visitor.
<DeathStar> <Spade on Comm> Who?
* Chad`Winters kneels down checking for any chance of an id or anything.
<DeathStar> 6* No identification
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> It was one of their men...They must be casing this place.
<DeathStar> <Spade on Comm> I see. They must have come to the same conclusion as I did. Chad, get out of there now. That man might have merely been a distraction.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Understood. 6He reaches down flicking the device on and steps outside quickly moving towards his bike.
<DeathStar> 6* As he steps up, suddenly the house explodes behind with great force.
* Chad`Winters is sent flying from the explosion, his body quickly shifting to land on his feet, he lands, then rolls his hands covering up his face
<DeathStar> 6* It would appear someone came here to blow up all evidence of Eve Summer's old life
* Chad`Winters pushes himself up, eyeing the ruins. He quickly tosses the bag onto his back and moves over to his bike and starts it up.
<DeathStar> 6* So far no one moves to stop Chad.
* Chad`Winters glances around, not liking this.
* Chad`Winters hops on the bike and begins to drive off
<DeathStar> 6* Chad manages to escape alive.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
* DeathStar flees.
