<DeathStar> 6* Warren presses his gun against the underside of Serena's chin. Spade aims at Ariel through her windshield. And Erevis stands before Chad, Darien, and the others.
<Red_Fox> NRP: O.o What did I miss? o.O
* Seraphna looks at him, straight into his eyes, "I'm here to help damnit..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then call off Spade now. I know it's him. 6He keeps his finger around the trigger/
<DeathStar> <Darien> Erevis. And here I thought we'd have to search high and low for you.
* Seraphna grabs her datapad slowly and makes the call, "If he picks up... I told him not to..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your bond. Tell him through your bond 6He notes harshly.
* Chad`Winters only nods to Erevis.
* Seraphna stops and closes her eyes, pleading with Spade.
<Ceilidh> "It's good to see you again."
* Kane tilts his head, glancing over Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade pauses, clearly distracted by something.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at the others, then opens the door to HQ. "Lets get inside and talk."
* Peacemaker has left #TAW
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru has left #TAW
<Red_Fox> NRP: Hell, I don't even need Fox right now.
* Red_Fox has left #TAW
* Chad`Winters motions for Erevis to go ahead.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yeah... *heads inside&
<Seraphna> "I';m trying... Warren..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps inside casually.
* Ceilidh heads inside with Erevis.
* Chad`Winters steps in behind Erevis and Ceil.
* Kane steps inside as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks inside, because steps has been spammed.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade eyes Ariel again, pulling the trigger three times since she isn't reactng
* Ariel dives out of the car, turning to face Spade
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves inside and sits down at the conference table, cupping a hand to his chin. Erevis takes a seat as well.
* Seraphna pleads with him still
<DeathStar> <Warren> Try harder.
<Seraphna> "Warren... I couldn't kill her then, I can't now. You know this."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade readjusts his aim.
* Kane takes a seat, crossing his arms and glancing around the table.
* Ceilidh sits down, watching everyone
* Chad`Winters takes a seat in a a chair and leans back in it, his hands cupping infront of him
* Cassandra_Arakawa sits at the conference table and crosses her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* An assistant moves and places the vials of Origin on the table. They seem to be acting no different.
<Seraphna> "He's not listening..."
* Ariel stands, facing Spade. Her gaze cold and expressionless. "You don't want to do this."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Allow me to give him incentive. I will shoot you in 3 seconds. Let him know this.
<DeathStar> <Spade> It's the end of the universe and it's somehow wrapped up around you, Ariel. Tell me - what choice do we have?
* Seraphna sends it, but takes the second he spares tot alk to grab his gun by the safety, pushing back, kicking his chest at the same time.,
<DeathStar> 6* Warren flips out a second gun when she goes for the grab, placing it aganist her nose. "Bad move. You lose a second."
* Seraphna pleads with Spade, warning him
<Ariel> "Even if I am involved, you have no proof that killing me will improve the situation. Nor is there ever a single factor."
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... .... 6He jerks his gun down. He lets Sera know he's backed off.
<Seraphna> "He backed down..."
<Chad`Winters> It seems the samples have stopped reacting.
<Ceilidh> NRP: <Warren> Now you die. *shoots Sera*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hold up a datapad to them.
* Ceilidh does so quickly
* Kane glances to the datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* They are still giving off energy signatures.
* Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad and looks down at it.
* Kane then picks it up and checks.
<Kane> NRP: his datapad, not the. :S
<DeathStar> 6* Spade sneers. "It would appear Warren is a stubborn fool. We'll settle this later."
<Ceilidh> "They're still giving off energy..."
<Ariel> *flatly* "...you shot up my car."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kicks his cane up with his good leg, holstering his gun and grabbing it. He leans on the cane, turning to follow after Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I'll be seeing you very soon, Ariel. 6He steps away into an alley.
* Seraphna falls to her knees and shakes a little, shaking her head.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting....
* Ariel ...s, and then takes Spade's vehicle as compensation.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... They are dangerous. 6She notes suddenly, finally speaking up.
<Ceilidh> "Should I destroy them?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No!
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Just what are they?
* Kane glances at Darien. "..."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Erevis. "They have something to do with you, otherwise you wouldn't know would you?
* Ceilidh looks to Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I use...to remember. But, I cannot remember since the V.I. incident a few weeks ago.
* Seraphna sighs frustratedly through her bond, thinking clearly that they should bring the others into this.
<DeathStar> <Spade> .oO (It'll complicate the situation more.)
<Ceilidh> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Ariel's new car. "Nice."
<Chad`Winters> Xanatos was required to use a sample of origin along with your energy to bring you back...
* Ceilidh obviously likes V.I. even less now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Ariel nods to Warren with a small smirk, before getting out her communicator and contacting Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns, pulling himself away from the table, and holding it up to his ear. "Ariel?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets in the passenger seat.
<Seraphna> .oO(I think she knows a lot more then she let on. I think... I think she's completely aware...)
<Ceilidh> "And why shouldn't we destroy the dangerous samples?"
<Chad`Winters> The sample must've acted as a catalyst in some way...
<DeathStar> <Spade> .oO (We cannot let that car reach it's destination.
<Ariel> <comm> "Location."
* Kane glances at Darien, then looks around at the others. "They didn't start producing energy reading until this whole hyperspace event started happening. Whatever they are for, it seems they are connected to it.." he states aloud, though it is actually just thinking.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm at the HQ. 6He says into the comm.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, how do you know their dangerous?
<Ceilidh> "What if they're the cause?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not remember.
<Seraphna> .oO(What do we do...?)
<Ariel> <Comm> "We're on our way." *hits the gas*
<Ceilidh> "Do you remember anything about them...?"
<Chad`Winters> If they were the cause, then this should've happened earlier. Something else must be causing this all and the samples are responding to that.
<DeathStar> <Spade> .oO (I'll handle it. You work a separate angle. If they believe we are not in agreement with each other, it might work to our advantage)
<Cassandra_Arakawa> More questions than answers...
<Ceilidh> "A catalyst then..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks off the comm, looking a bit puzzled, then slides back to the table.
<DeathStar> <Darien> These samples might be the only thing thta can lead us to what is causing this.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So how do we use this then?
<Ceilidh> "... well, that's sufficient reason not to destroy them, I guess."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts some pressure to his shoulder as they drive along.
<Chad`Winters> Plus I doubt there's a safe and effective way to destroy them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. I'm hoping Eve can tell us a bit more. Right now, we need to get Erevis' memory back.
* Seraphna nods and tries to call Warren.
<Ceilidh> "Agreed there."
<Ceilidh> "But how?"
* Ariel doesn't look to Warren. She needs to keep her eyes on the road as she breaks numerous traffic laws, "...will you be okay until we reach Darien's?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll live. Ariel, I--- 6He starts, wanting to say something, but stops as the comm beeps. He clicks it on so Ariel can hear it, too.
* Kane rubs his chin as he sits there, thinking.
<Chad`Winters> Any viable methods you know of Darien? 6If there's any animosity between him and Darien, it doesn't seem to be there right now.
<Ceilidh> "All I can think of is an event similar to something earlier, in order to trigger old memories..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, there are methods. Dangerous, but right now, it might be our only option. We can hook her to a machine that will help her remember her memories in a dream like state.
<Seraphna> "Warren, I doubt you trust me, but I have her best interests at heart, Darien wants the power of Origin, do not trust him, if he finds out, he will use her."
<Ceilidh> "... alright.."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Since we're low on time, we have to crank it to full. I would imagine the dreams could be quite ... horrific.
* Ceilidh winces, eyeing Darien uncertainly
<Ariel> "......"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Erevis. 1"This is your choice Erevis, what do you want to do?"
* Kane eyes Darien. "Is it physically dangerous to her?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Possiblely. After all, and I apologize if this seems insulting, your mental patterns aren't exactly the most stable.
<Seraphna> "I descided a long time ago to go against the purpose I was made for, I didn't kill her then, I will not now."
<Ceilidh> "We can't do it without her consent, anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Ariel.
<Seraphna> "Please, get her somewhere safe, a location they can't find her at."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares right at Darien. "Very well. I will do it." 6*Darien nods, glancing at everyone. "I'll get her onto the machine. The rest of you - wait for Eve here and get her busy on these samples when she arrives." 6Darien stands up and exits the room. Erevis pauses, then moves to follow.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off the comm. "She could be correct. Darien might use you if he believes you have a connection to Origin."
<Ceilidh> "I want to help.. I'm medical personnel, after all..."
<Ariel> "He will not."
* Kane glances at them leaving, he glances around.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yes, sir.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances out the window. "Alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods as he moves out.
<Seraphna> .oO(Doubt it worked... they never trusted me to begin with."
<Seraphna> )
* Ceilidh follows Darien then
<DeathStar> 6* The HQ door opens.
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes as he watches them leave.
* Kane looks towards the door.
<Seraphna> .oO(What about Chad...? He knows the danger.)
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll let you monitor her vitals. You'll know when to wake her up if her life signs drop too low. 6He enters a side room, motioning Erevis to a table. He begins to hook up vital machines to her, then begins to connect the machine to Erevis via cords.
<Ceilidh> "Alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps inside, glancing at the table and scowling a bit at one person. She shoves her hands into her coat and walks over, sitting down nonchalant.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there, clearly troubled. And looking even more awkward in his khaki shirt and jeans.
* Seraphna closes her eyes, feeling out for that one person left, one person she hasn't tried to feel for in a few weeks now.
* Ariel stops abruptly once she reaches the garage, quickly getting out of the vehicle.
* Chad`Winters turns to see Zephyr there, eyeing her coat. He then looks back down at the origin samples.
* Ceilidh watches the vital signs once the machine is on, worriedly
<Kane> Is anyone else getting a bad feeling about this? *he asks the obvious question*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien fills up a needle, and gives the shot to Erevis. "This will put you to sleep, Erevis." 6He points at another needle. "That will wake her up, Ceilidh."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides out of the car, leaning heavily on his cane.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm past bad feeling and on to terrible.
* Ariel starts to move, then stops, looking at Warren. "...we'll get you to medical first."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's a flesh wound. 6He notes with a wave of his hand.
<Ceilidh> "I just hope this works... and she's not..."
* Ceilidh trails off, not wanting to say the last bit
<DeathStar> <Darien> If it doesn't work, over 12 billion people could be dead. Remember that. 6He exits the room.
* Ariel eyes him, "...we have enough time to get you looked at."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll check myself in. You go see ... Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr chews on some gum loudly, ignoring Kane's question.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien retuens to the table, sitting down. Meanwhile, pulling up behind Ariel and Warren is a Janus vehicle. Eve Summers steps out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ceilidh is seeing to Erevis right now.
* Ariel nods. "Make sure you do that." She glances at the vehicle momentarily, then heads to Darien's location, using the comm as a guide.
* Chad`Winters glances around the room casually, eyeing Cass, Darien, Kane and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve just follows Ariel, deciding it's easier than knocking.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, it seems we have to wait. We probably need to get as many people working for us as we can manage. Ideas?
* Ariel doesn't knock, she just straight enters the room.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up as Ariel and Eve step inside.
* Kane rubs the back of his head. "You know my one." He says to Darien, referring to Xan.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head briefly when he notices Eve, then stands up.
<Ariel> "Someone tell me what is going on?"
<Chad`Winters> Xanatos has overstayed his welcome anywhere near Erevis.
<Seraphna> *There's a call for Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> The origin samples have begun to resonate energy. Eve there will be trying to figure out what they are. Eve, could you take a sample and move to one of the back rooms to study it? 6Eve nods, taking one off the table and heading out to study it.
* Chad`Winters eyes Ariel, his head shaking slightly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> True, Xanatos is completely worthless. But at this point, we know he can shoot straight. Get him. 6He grabs his comm, clicking it on and putting it to his ear.
<Ariel> "Are the samples causing this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Ariel, looking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "Doubt it."
* Kane nods once and turns to comm Xan, he talks into it for a moment, then returns to the table, staring at his thumbs.
<Chad`Winters> We're not sure, but I don't think so. I'd say they're reacting to what's going on. 6He walks over to Ariel, leaning in close and whispering into her ear.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Hey...anyone hear about that dimensional travel test they were supposed to have done today?
<DeathStar> NRP: It's not being done today, I already said twice! It's 3 weeks from now they are testing it
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Yeah...GEEZE!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps an eye on Chad and Ariel.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Ohhhhh...
* Ariel looks at Zephyr, but says nothing at the moment.
* Kane glances around at the silence. He frowns.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Listen, everyone. I think we'll probably have a bit of a down time here while we gather facts. Why don't you all ... mingle or something. We'll be too tense sitting here at a table."
* Chad`Winters turns glancing at Darien, he gives him a smile.
<Seraphna> *Another call comes in for Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs, clicking it again. "Listen, asshole."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Is that any way to address the President's Aide..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Depends on my mood, Ceres. What do you want? Does the President need hand holding?
<Seraphna> Ceres> "The office is interested if you know anything about the end of the universe."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're working on it right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, heading off to find the target practice room.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "We need to know what's going on, I'll be coming by shortly."
<Kane> Since Ceil is with Erevis, I'll just go and wait for Xan. *he says with a sigh, pulling himself up to his feet, then shoving his hands into his pockets before stepping away from the table.*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wiggles his finger at Cass to lean in closer. "Of course, Ceres."
* Cassandra_Arakawa leans in closer...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whispers into her ear.
* Chad`Winters watches Darien closely, eyeing his lips
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has his head tilted enough to hide it specifically from Chad.
<Seraphna> *About that time, several EarthGov shuttles land outside, Ceres starting tog et out, with quite a few military officals.
* Ariel looks at the others, then heads after Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks into the room, grabbing a gun from the rack.
* Chad`Winters smirks, rubbing his chin.
* Cassandra_Arakawa just nods and then leans back, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll be right back. 6He gets up, heading out to meet with Ceres.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in the medical room, getting his shoulder patched up.
* Chad`Winters plants his hands on the table, glancing down at the samples then over at Cassandra.
* Kane stands outside, waiting on Xan, he glancing at Darien whenever he steps outside. "...."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the crafts, looking rather put off.
<Seraphna> *Ceres smiles to Darien as she sees him, "Hello there."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Something on your mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives his biggest smile. "Ceres. It takes the end of the universe to get you to visit us?"
* Ariel eyes Zephyr as she takes the weapon, still staying quiet for the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves to the closest line and aims at her target, firing and hitting it over and over -in various places.
<Chad`Winters> Just wondering when you planned on making a return to playboy?
* Red_Fox has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Red_Fox
<Seraphna> "Well you know, busy schedule, Presidential Luncheon one moment, universe ending the next."
<Seraphna> *CERES>
* Chad`Winters taps his fingers on the table as he studies her.
<Ariel> "You're getting sloppy."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, please come in and oversee our operations. Kane, can you be Ceres' guide? I'll wait for Xan.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Ohhhh...I don't know.
* Kane arches a brow, "Uhh, sure."
* Kane motions for Ceres to lead the way.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Yeah, maybe.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Wait...doesn't hte guide lead the person?
<Kane> NRP: Shhhh.
* Ariel finds a seat, "Are you enjoying your new life?"
<Red_Fox> NRP: Where is Ceres right now, BTW?
<Chad`Winters> So you my watchdog then? 6He leans further against the table.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She fires again, missing completely.
<DeathStar> NRP: In the garage leading to the HQ
<Kane> NRP: Getting ready to be led inside by Kane.
* Red_Fox stands near Ceres, seemingly a cross between an aide and a bodyguard herself
<Cassandra_Arakawa> It depends. Do you need watching?
* Kane turns and leads the way then, stepping side HQ.
<Kane> NRP: *inside
<Chad`Winters> Well I am associated with Janus.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Two-faced god of strife.
* Ariel shakes her head. "Then... why?"
<Seraphna> *Ceres sighs softly and looks about, "So, what are you all up to?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Look, I don't need you meddling with my affairs. 6She shoves the gun back onto the rack.
* Kane takes a seat off to the side, after leading Ceres and FOx inside.
<Red_Fox> "Yeah, what are you up to?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there outside the garage, moving carefully around the garage.
* Xanatos would be seen making his way intot he garage.
<Chad`Winters> Actually he was the god of gates, doors, beginnings and endings. 6He winks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns, his gun aimed right at Xan's face. He eyes the man.
* Ariel puts a firm hand on Zephyr's shoulder, "No. You're not simply getting away with that this time."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Last time I checked, you're not my mother. 6She notes, waving a hand to try to knock Ariel's away.
* Ariel stops dead at that.
* Xanatos stands there eyeing Darien, his hands resting on his own pistols. "You just wanted me to come here so you could finish me off?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Ariel, perhaps feeling a bit vindicated by Ariel's reaction.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Move.
* Xanatos steps out of the way./
<DeathStar> 6* Darien fires, nicking a probe that flies away.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> And the gates of the temple were left open when Rome was at war.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Unggh...I hate guns.
* Seraphna sits in a shuttle, thinking, quietly calling out across the network, hoping...
* Ariel hesitates, "If... you feel that way..." She closes her eyes. She's not sure what to say now.
<Chad`Winters> Only so Janus could intervene.
* Xanatos glances back at the probe. "I was followed? I was even making sure to try and keep check to make sure I wasn't...." he sighs, "You orders a meat shield?" he said with fake enthusiasm.
<Xanatos> NRP: order*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just turns, walking away from her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I would say we have a little birdie watching us before you came.
<Xanatos> V.I. I assume?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens the door for Xanatos. "That was Janus."
<Red_Fox> "Wonderful."
<Red_Fox> NRP: I *REALLY* hope Ceres and Fox are with everyone else now
<Seraphna> *Ceres and the officals are looking about, having joine the rest.
<DeathStar> NRP: Fine, let me break down the locations
<Cassandra_Arakawa> And tell me then...what gates are you keeping?
* Xanatos just chuckles and shakes his head, "Wonderful." He then moves to step inside.
<Ariel> "I have always tried to take care of you to the best of my ability. I have never stood in the way of what you wanted to do, and only tried to make sure you were safe while doing it. But... I will NOT abide by you trying to destroy your life."
<DeathStar> NRP: Ariel/Zephyr, training area. Warren - medical room. Xan/Darien - outside, entering. Cass, Kane, Chad, Fox, Ceres - congerence. Ceil, Erevis - quiet room. Eve - lab
<Red_Fox> NRP: Cool
<Chad`Winters> I don't prefer gates, there too direct. I prefer waterways and back roads.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm doing what I want to do.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> That does break your theme though.
<Chad`Winters> Does it now? Isn't everything just a front?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps inside, closing the door and locking it tightly. He moves into the conference room.
* Red_Fox eyes Chad... half-glaring, in fact
<DeathStar> <Darien> Are we having a debate of sorts?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down.
<Chad`Winters> Oh just talking about a Roman god.
<Seraphna> *Ceres notices Chad, she smiles to him, "Hello Mr. Winters."
<Ariel> "Are you? Are you really?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Which one?
<Chad`Winters> 6Turns, eyeing Ceres. "....I know you."
<Red_Fox> "... Janus."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah. A deceptive one.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Fronts and facades. Do you even know yourself anymore?
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Yes, I brought your sister home a little while back, how is she?"
* Xanatos takes a seat at the table, looking around at everyone. "Oh, hey Stella, didn't expect to see you here."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr doesn't answer.
<Red_Fox> "The end of the world takes priority."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But where would our humanity be if we didn't debate sides as the world ended?
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad only shrugs then turns back to Cassandra. "I know who I am, but do you konw who I really am? Infact...do you really know who anyone really is?
* Kane smirks off from the side, just watching Chad and Cass.
<Ariel> "What are you trying to accomplish, Zephyr?"
<Xanatos> Right you are. *he says to Fox*
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's ironic, really. Cran and Venerator - they were very much two fronts of the same person. And look what mess they got us in now.
<Chad`Winters> I mean...You're body is manufactured piece of equipment.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whatever. I don't need to explain myself to you, Ariel. When's the last time you've done anything you wanted to do?
<Red_Fox> "And you're one to talk about being manufactured, Chad."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> That I know well. I do not even know if there is really a brain in here or just an AI.
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "Leave it too a curious man to bring about the end of the world."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow at Xan.
<Ariel> "Not as rarely as you would have it seem."
* Seraphna looks up at the still Beta waiting in teh shuttle with her, .oO(They'll need to be a part of this... in the end... everyone will love..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Curiousity doesn't bring an end to the world. It's hiding the knowledge that ends the world.
<Chad`Winters> A shame huh?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mean, really. How do YOU feel about Darien Starr? I don't see you acting on any feelings.
* Xanatos nods his head, "Ok, that makes more sense to me."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> A shame? Not really. Rene Descartes. I think, therefore, I am.
<Kane> Stop trying to be smart Xan. *he said with a sigh, putting his arms behind his head and reclining in his spot.
<Chad`Winters> Ahh but a person can pretend to be something they aren't all they want and it will never change the truth.
* Red_Fox EYES Chad at that
<Ariel> "...it is not always that simple."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tell me, Chad - can you change?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cups his hands together, eyeing him.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Darien. 1"If the situation depends on it yes...Tell me something about Pandora's box.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> But in the end equation, what matters is knowing that I am me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Pandora opened the box and brought nothing but pain to the world.
<DeathStar> <Darien> However ... she also brought hope.
<Kane> Hope?
<DeathStar> <Darien> The last thing left in the box after everything else seeped into the world.
<Chad`Winters> Only after she chanced a visit to look inside the box again...
<Ariel> "We've both had things that have needed to be done."
<Red_Fox> "I guess hope springs from pain.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's just an excuse. You're all nothing but excuses. You, Darien, Warren, Chad.
<Red_Fox> "What is hope but the belief that things will improve?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> What is a man without hope? 6He raises a brow at Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Excellent point Darien.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Well... what is our hope right now?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Learning the truth.
<Red_Fox> "Knowing is half the battle."
<Ariel> *flatly* "No. It is not."
<Chad`Winters> Even if that truth can lead to the end?
* Xanatos taps his chin. "I heard that in a cartoon one time."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Where would man be without knowledge?
<Chad`Winters> Tell me Darien, how strong ARE your convictions?
<Red_Fox> "It's a bit late to be worrying about bringing the end..."
<Ariel> "You accuse me of neglecting myself, Zephyr. But what you are doing to yourself is many times worse. You're actively harming yourself. Why?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I guess we'll just have to see. A man's true face is shown when there's nothing left for him.
<Chad`Winters> What is a man if he has no amibition in life.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because maybe I can feel something other than hate. 6She shouts.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at Xan.
* Xanatos gives a thumbs up.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Xan then at Darien and shakes his head, a smile actually cracking on his face
<Red_Fox> "And what's YOUR ambition, Chad?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grins a bit himself.
<Chad`Winters> To rule the world my dear. What's your's? 6He looks at her, no emotion in his face
* Kane looks around. "I don't get it." He says with a frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Ceres. "So tell me. Do we instill anything but faith in us?"
<Red_Fox> "To bring peace to the world... and rid it of all these conspiracies..."
* Xanatos shakes his head, "You'd need to wipe out most life for that to happen, Stella."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve slides into the room quickly, obviously excited about something. She pushes up her glasses. "This is simply amazing."
<Chad`Winters> There will always be conspiracies Red Fox, otherwise, you wouldn't have a goal.
<Chad`Winters> /me swings his head towards Eve.
* Chad`Winters swings his head towards Eve. 1"What's up dear?
<Red_Fox> *to Chad* "You think I care about that, as long as I rid the world of them?"
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Well... despite all this flowery speech, what are we accomplishing here?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> This substance. It's not native to our universe. These energy signatures don't match anything known in our universe.
* Ariel stares at Zephyr a moment, "...is that what you think of me?"
* Kane widens his eyes in suprise. "So, where does it come from?"
* Red_Fox looks to Eve finally. "So it's from where? Somewhere outside?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks away. "I think I hear something in the conference room. We got to save the world, don't we?" 6She notes, moving to leave.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I don't know. I don't know where!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back, rubbing his chin.
<Chad`Winters> Couldn't it be something we've never come across of before? Like a new mineral?
<Red_Fox> "If it's not native, it's either artificial, or from somewhere else.."
* Ariel moves quickly to catch up to Zephyr, "IS that what you think of me?"
<DeathStar> <Eve> Objects in our universe have a certain signature. This sbustance lacks it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Red_Fox> "Could the signature be removed?"
<Chad`Winters> ...A parallel universe?
<DeathStar> 6* Eve shakes her head at Fox, then looks at Chad. "Maybe. This is ...amazing. This could define everything we know."
<DeathStar> (Redine)
* Red_Fox smirks to Chad. "Maybe it's a universe without conspiracies."
<Kane> Is that even possible?
<Ariel> "It is a simple question."
<Chad`Winters> According to Quantum Physics, yes.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Question, do the Origin samples you people are keeping have the aura as well?"
<Kane> The aura??
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Ariel. "When I see you, all I feel is this urge to rip out your heart. So I believe I would much rather never see you again." 6She hurries on
<DeathStar> <Darien> That IS from my samples.
<Red_Fox> "So.. if it wasn't created... someone went outside the universe to get it..."
<Red_Fox> "Daaamn."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That stuff was never meant to exist here. 6She speaks up, standing with Ceil. She looks tired and weak.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So who could have pulled that off?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Erevis.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Think non native materials in this universe might be the cause of our problems?"
* Xanatos glances towards Erevis, but returns his gaze to the table in front of him.
<Chad`Winters> Ask yourself this Ceres, why now?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *smacks Xan* Not int his room!
* Ariel heads to the briefing room as well, her face as flat as when she faced Spade.
<Kane> NRP: Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands there, looking equally bitter.
<Seraphna> "A catalyst..."
<Seraphna> CERES>
<Chad`Winters> But why now?
<Ceilidh> NRP: Wait, isn't Erevis still in the quiet room? How is Darien glancing over?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down tiredly. "This material is waste material - at best I can describe it. I... believe it contains particles of... Knowledge. But it's harmful to anything in this universe."
<DeathStar> NRP: Nope, Erevis/Ceil have shown up.
<Kane> NRP: They stepped out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Knowledge... 6He eyes the samples.
<Kane> A knowledge we'll never be able to interpret?? *he questions*
<Chad`Winters> That's what we need to find out. If it's the cause and isn't just reacting...IT would've happened ages ago.
* Ceilidh sits down next to Erevis. "So... where did it come from?"
<Seraphna> Ceres> "...We should destroy the samples."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot remember clearly. I need more time. But I agree, we should destroy the samples.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not willing to destroy these samples yet. The fact is if they contain knowledge of some other ... "universe", we might need that knowledge.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "At the cost of our own universe... I think not. Destroy them."
<Ceilidh> "But what if they're causing the rifts...?"
* Red_Fox readies her gun
<DeathStar> <Darien> They've existed here for years. I doubt they are the cause.
<Chad`Winters> I agree with Darien. I stand by that these are just reacting to somethign else.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "They have been seperated, until certain people started gathering them together."
<Red_Fox> "Stress can build up, until it finally gets too much..."
<Chad`Winters> They've been together for awhile now.
* Ceilidh eyes Fox
<Seraphna> Ceres> "All of them? Every last piece?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No, they are definitely not the cause. 6She rubs her forehead.
<DeathStar> <Darien> For months.
<Xanatos> Darien has had them gathered for a while. *he says with a nod*
<Chad`Winters> I doubt these are every last piece.
<Ceilidh> "Then what is..?"
<Chad`Winters> That Ceil, is our mystery.
* Ariel looks thoughtful
<DeathStar> 6* Darien picks up a sample, holding the vial in his hand. "I'll store the rest of the samples in a safe. So we don't get trigger happy. I'm not destroying these until we have a consensus. And we certainly do not have that." 6He motions to his assistant to store them
<Ceilidh> "Then we need to know everything we can about them. You wouldn't be hiding anything, would you Chad...?"
<Seraphna> Ceres> "That isn't really your choice Darien. But for now we'll leave them be."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to rub her forehead.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You don't outrank me, Ceres. And if you want to protest this to the President, do so.
<Ceilidh> "Are you feeling alright, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts the vial he had into his pocket.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "I will, if need be."
* Chad`Winters waves his hand dismissively at Ceil as he eyes Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the meeting room, having been listening.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm still trying to remember. It is coming back slowly. But I need some more itme.
<Ceilidh> "Alright."
* Kane moves his eyes to Warren.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, let us lay out everything we know.
<DeathStar> <Darien> These samples are not native to this universe. They are also connected to Erevis ... coming back into Katrina's body. And V.I. wanted them, and Erevis for some goal. I think V.I. is looking for something. We need to know what.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Ariel.
* Ceilidh looks thoughtful
<DeathStar> 6* Warren speaks up. "Spade was trying to kill Ariel."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien blinks, glancing at Ariel.
<Kane> Spade?? Why?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He glances at Ariel, perhaps seeing if he should explain.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He eyes Chad darkly.
* Red_Fox eyes Chad darkly too
<Ariel> "Because people have been telling me practically since the day that I joined PAX, that I am going to destroy something. It hasn't happened yet."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve glances at Chad, raising a questioning brow.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It won't happen. 6He notes firmly.
<Red_Fox> "Meh, people have been saying that about me, too."
* Chad`Winters turns looking at Darien and Red Fox, hopping back. 1"Jesus Christ...Why are you looking at me so darkly?
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Well, we're low on possibilities for destroying things at the moment."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Could it perhaps be, I don't know... the universe?"
<Ariel> "...that is the most recent addition to the list, yes."
<Chad`Winters> There's a reason why they want you dead Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What is that reason?
<Chad`Winters> Back at the base when Cran and Serena talked, Cran told her something about Ariel.
<Red_Fox> "Great, Cran again..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> What did he say?
<Xanatos> Wait, Cran is alive? I misse something. *he says with a sigh*
<DeathStar> <Darien> He's dead again.
<Chad`Winters> Ariel think back to when you were brought into that mission with Serena. The one with your doppleganger.
<Red_Fox> "Wow, death must be a revolving door for military high-ups."
<Kane> I was in that mission. *he says after a moment*
<Xanatos> Jees. *he shakes his head*
<Xanatos> NRP: Jeez*
<Ariel> "She was looking for the other who crashed here, but he was missing."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Darien carefully, then Warren.
<Chad`Winters> Her companion...
<DeathStar> <Warren> So who was he?
<Chad`Winters> No one knows...The power he gave off was enough to frighten even Cran and Venerator.
<Ceilidh> "You don't think they're from another dimension too, do you?"
* Red_Fox eyes Ceil as if she's gone insane
* Kane rubs his chin, trying to remember what happened during that mission.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "Excuse me." 6He goes to stand up, moving to step into his office.
<Chad`Winters> So much that Venerator hid him. I believe V.I. caught onto it finally and have been looking for him.
<Ariel> "Do you believe that they found 'him'?"
<Ceilidh> "... hearing that, I wouldn't be surprised if he was."
* Ceilidh eyes Darien leaving
* Kane was just about to ask that same question.
<Chad`Winters> ....The timing is close...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Too close. We need to find this companion.
<Seraphna> .oO(I hate sitting back and waiting... we should be working with them...)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in his chair, pulling out the vial and eyeing it. "How far does one go for his convictions? If you have knowledge, I need it."
<Ceilidh> "Venerator pulled a huge plot to bring Erevis over from the other place..." *looks uneasily at Darien's door*
<Chad`Winters> Because he believed it had to do with Origin. He probably just wanted the power.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pops the vial, then throws it back into his mouth, swallowing.
* Ceilidh nods. "Origin also comes from another place."
<Chad`Winters> If he felt Ariel was that big of a threat, he would've killed her then.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Why did they name it "Origin", though?
<Ceilidh> "And V.I. have, or had, a teleporting trooper..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She lifts her head up. "That fool."
<Ceilidh> "I think there's a plot.. to bring things over."
<Ceilidh> "What's he doing?"
* Ariel looks to Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He just took Origin. I felt his mind shatter.
* Ceilidh starts to Darien's door, then pauses
<Kane> What!?
<Chad`Winters> ...6Looks over at Erevis. "What do you mean?
<Ceilidh> "... how is he...? Dead? Dangerous?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, then kicks in Darien's door, moving over to see Darien convulsing on the floor.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She moves over to look at Darien.
* Ceilidh heads over with Warren
<Kane> Damnit. *he makes a face* I didn't want this to happen.
<Red_Fox> "None of us did."
* Ariel hurries over to Darien, looking... almost paniced. She glances back at Erevis, "What can we do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans on his cane, eyeing DArien. "You goddamn idiot." 6He eyes Darien twitching.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... nothing. His mind is in pieces. And...growing weaker.
<Ceilidh> "Can... can you read his mind? Find the information?"
* Ceilidh tries to tend to Darien's body
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, glancing up as Darien stops convulsing. "Too late. He's dead."
<Ceilidh> "Or... is that not... never mind. It's too late now, anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's eyes widen a bit as she stands there, and Eve puts a hand to her mouth.
* Xanatos pulls himself upto his feet and steps over to eye Darien. "Jesus." He mumbles under his breath.
<DeathStar> -END SCENE, SCENE SHIFT-
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru
<DeathStar> 6* The Aquarius runs through hyperspace, shaking around like a boat in a storm.
* Cassandra_Arakawa is now known as Myria
* Ceilidh has left #TAW
* Red_Fox has left #TAW
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... how much further...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I still can't believe this is working.
* Kane has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Myria is running herself ragged in engineering, trying to keep the drive adjusted.
<Ariel> <Em> *is still curled up, but she's quieter. Her eyes red from crying*
<DeathStar> 6* John is in his room, eyeing his face in the mirror.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: And I'm piloting?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva knocks on John's door.
<DeathStar> NRP: Hyperspaceis automaticly done by computer.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at the door. "Come in." 6The door slides open.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Cuz if you pilot it you could git the walls and cause explosions
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru goes to check on Em, then
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: I'LL GIVE YOU EXPLOSIONS *fires the main cannon*
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps inside and leans against the wall. "You ok John? You've been in here for awhile now."
<DeathStar> <John> Been throwing up for the last hour.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... what's wrong...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I know it's not because of the ride...Why?
<DeathStar> <John> The images I saw were terrible. It's just kinda given me a weak stomach. Or maybe it is the ride. 6He sits down on the bed.
<Ariel> <Em> "...I... I don't know..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I'm.. sorry that... I can't help..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva moves over to sit by him, placing his arm around his shoulder. "There just images John...They can't mean anything."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I hate this... I hate being unable to do anything..."
<DeathStar> <John> I hope so. 6He cups his hands together, eyeing the wall. "These last three months have been great. Riding with the girls and Dias. It's hard to believe the end is here. Now."
* Myria shuffles out of engineering, toward her room...looking exhausted.
<Seraphna> NRP> "There's still hope you know." <John> "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We don't know that for sure, we've only begun to understand Hyperspace recently, this may just be a small by product of using it so much.
<DeathStar> <John> No. It's not. 6He notes with certainity.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So you really believe this is the end?
<DeathStar> <John> Whatever it is, it's on Earth.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru carefully hugs Em. "... I'll do what I can... for you, and for the universe."
<DeathStar> <John> And it's beyond my understanding. I'm just a simple jackass who gets himself into trouble and leaps out before he gets hurt.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I don't recall you ever leaping out of trouble before? 6She leans her head against his shoulder.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, you should have see me when I was 4. Katrina called me a chicken.
<DeathStar> 6* John tilts his face a bit so he can look at Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Really now? You were a coward even back then?
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Katrina was the brave one in the family. I just wanted to be a super hero.
<Ariel> <Em> "...thank you..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You weren't a super hero when you beat the crap out of that bouncer who grabbed my ass.
<DeathStar> <John> That's because I was drunk. 6He pats her cheek. "We had good times, didn't we?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We did. 6She leans back on his bed, resting against her hands.
<DeathStar> 6* John flops back so he's laying with her. "You know, if you wanted to have sex one more time before the world ended..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I just wish I could do enough.."
* Myria stops and presses her ear against John's door...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Oh that is such a cheesy pick up line...So bad I'd believe you picked me up just for that reason. 6She taps the side of the bed with one hand then shoves John playfully with the other.
<DeathStar> 6* John laughs. "I've always been cheesy. What'd you expect?" 6He pauses, eyeing the light flashing, signaling they are about to exit hyperspace. "Time to be a super hero, huh?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> A shame you've never been good at getting across the finish line first, we might've been able to have sex one last time.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva pushes herself off the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his brown coat, sliding it on. He opens the door, eyeing Myria
<DeathStar> 6* The light flashes on the bridge as well. Seems they're almost there.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We're almost there.. will you be alright?"
<DeathStar> <John> Myria?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva blinks at Myria
<Ariel> <Em> *slowly pulls herself out of the seat* "...none of us are going to be alright..."
<Myria> Ehehehehe....
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow. "Is that Eruisan for something?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... but I can't just give up, in any case."
<Myria> Ahhh...just...really tired...ummm... *inches to her own door*
<DeathStar> <John> No time for sleep. Time to make evil go away.
<Myria> What?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You know, the bad guys go bubye?
<DeathStar> 6* John steps past her and enters the bridge, giving off an air of confidence and authority. He puts his hands on his hips. "Alright, crew, it's time to find out what's causing the universe to end and make them go running like scared little children."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> *seriously, but sadly* "Or destroy them, if we have to..."
<DeathStar> 6* John sits down in his seat, grabbing the controls. "Inspiriational music here."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Starts humming some music.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> NRP: Star Wars theme!
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs the hyperspace lever and yanks them out, arriving in the Sol system. And it seems the universe is being torn apart here like everywhere else.
<Myria> ...but...ummm...who is bad guys?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We don't know yet."
<DeathStar> <John> We'll find out. 6He begins to pilot through the hellish nightmare that has become the Sol system.
<DeathStar> 6* And, as they continue along, up ahead - they spot a large Tsivrixsh fleet, heading right for Earth. John's eyes widen.
<Ariel> <Em> *cringes*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> What the hell?
<DeathStar> 6* And in the middle of them, looking like a giant cruiser with some flair like the Black Angel, is a Tsivrixsh giant of a ship.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... either it's them, or they had the same idea."
<DeathStar> <John> Oh. Fuck. Me.
<Myria> Maybe is fleet that was going attack Cartel...new orders?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> ....That's...*eyes John* That's not good at all...That looks like the black angel....
<DeathStar> <John> It's similiar, alright.
<DeathStar> <John> But how...?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... maybe they copied the technology...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Part of that nifty little treaty you made...John.
<DeathStar> <John> I MADE NO TREATIES!
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You're the one that wanted peace not death.
<DeathStar> 6* John grips the controls, swallowing. He eyes the sensors - seems some ships have broken off in their direction.
<DeathStar> <John> Think they remember us?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Can you land this thing before they destroy us?"
<Ariel> <Em> "...mmmhmmm..."
<DeathStar> <John> I'm no super pilot, but you know what - lets find out.
<Myria> No...not Black Angel. Ascendancy no have access to Black Angel technology.
<DeathStar> 6* John hits the boosters, the Aquarius flying right on ahead. Surges of hyperspace arc all over them, like hands.
<Ariel> <Em> *watches the distortions intently*
<DeathStar> <John> Hotaru, do me a favor. Scan Earth as we approach. Full scan.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> If need be, use the hyperspace leaks to your advantage.
<DeathStar> 6* John twirls under an arc, putting it between them and their attackers.
<DeathStar> 6* John grinds his teeth, the controls of the Aquarius shaking roughly as it's abused by him. He zooms past the main fleet, their attacking ships coming in behind them again.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru scans the Earth
<DeathStar> <John> Come on, come on, money shot. What does Earth have to say? 6He eyes the window instead of the sensors. The scanners turn up: 11 years old.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... shit. 11 years."
<DeathStar> <John> ... 11 years. What happened 11 years ago...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> ...11 years?! Like that other planet?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "YES!"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru thinks back
<Myria> I not know...
<DeathStar> <John> ... oh hell. I know.
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes Hotaru instead of the screen.
<Myria> What?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "What? Tell me!"
<DeathStar> <John> Earth got that alien technology used to create Dragoons. They got Ariel.
