<DeathStar> Ep.6: 2:00 PM
<DeathStar> 6* John sits in his chair, waiting for the serum to take affect.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands beside John, looking into the room. "You know how much fun we could have with that stuff?
<DeathStar> <John> How much fun?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr paces back and takes a seat near Chris Carter's room.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I could have a lot of fun...
* Kane is holding his datapad up, his eyes moving from it, to the bomb in front of him, and then back to his datapad.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose with his left hand, his head hanging down.
<DeathStar> 6* John taps his fingers, eyeing a clock.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So this stuff will make him tell the truth right?
<DeathStar> <John> That's what I was told.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How?
<DeathStar> <John> .... I don't know1
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh....
* Kane moves his eyes over to Sera. "What do you think?"
* Seraphna loolks over the bomb, analysing it like any other machine
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb defiantly ticks away.
* Alicia is now known as Ceilidh
* Ceilidh considers questions to ask
<Seraphna> "...It's a bomb."
<Seraphna> "A complicated, annoying one, and a shuttle to the sun sounds better then disarming it."
* Chad`Winters drops his hand and quickly makes his way back to his office.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, stretching. "This thing needs more time to take affect. Lets go see if the bomb disarm is going well." 6He walks out
<Kane> I'd really hate to make hurt the sun up so much. *he says in a slang voice, eyeing the current arrangement of wires that are connected to the detonator*
<Kane> NRP: -make
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sounds exciting. 6He turns following after John.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks over. "It's been 5 mins. Have you disarmed the bomb yet?"
* Kane glances at John. "...No."
<DeathStar> <John> Slowpokes.
<Kane> You got the truth out of that guy yet?
<DeathStar> <John> The truth serum takes time to get into the blood stream.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You'd think that impending death would make them work faster.
<DeathStar> <John> Look, hey, lets just pull this wire. 6He grabs one of the red wires
<Seraphna> "JOHN!"
<DeathStar> <John> What?
* Kane shakes his head. "Slowpo-STOP!"
<Seraphna> "Pulling the wrong one might mkae it explode!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could pick the wire. I'm good with colors.
<DeathStar> <John> ... But this is the right one!
<Kane> How do you know?
<Seraphna> "...How do you know that?"
<Ceilidh> "... there could be a deadman's trigger."
<DeathStar> <John> I know.
<Ceilidh> "And when did YOU take bomb disposal lessons?"
* Seraphna stares at him.
<DeathStar> <John> ... my gut tells me!
<Kane> Alright. Let me get a few miles away from this place and you can pull to your hearts desire.
<DeathStar> <John> Really?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 16 miles...
<Kane> ..That was sarcasm John. Leave the bomb alone.
<DeathStar> 6* John sighs. "It's the red one."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I trust his gut, it's always, usually, normally right.
<Kane> When was the last time you trusted his gut?
<Ceilidh> "... I... couldn't do that."
<DeathStar> <John> I'm a superhero. I know these things.
<Chad`Winters> <DIas> When he chose that stripper last night.
<DeathStar> 6* He stares at Sera, as if waiting to see if she'll trust him.
<Ceilidh> "..."
<Ceilidh> "... oh, let me do this."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You'd be amazed at what she could do with a bottle.
* Seraphna stares back, eyes wide, apparently half torn between just letting the man pull it and figuring out where the nearest, fastest shuttle might be.
* Ceilidh walks back over to the bomb
<Kane> Ok you people really need to leave the bomb alone. We've got this.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Ceilidh then looks at John. "I suddenly feel like I'm going to die.
<DeathStar> 6 *John stares at her.
<Ceilidh> "Well, if John starts pulling wires, OF COURSE!"
<Kane> Ceil, John, Dias......go back to your interrogation.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh I trust him, it's you I don't trust.
<DeathStar> 6* John maintains his stare with Sera.
* Chad`Winters steps into his office and slides over to his main terminal and begins scanning through the news.
* Ceilidh twitches "... and why's that?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look at him! He's a superhero.
* Seraphna is staring right back at him
<Ceilidh> "... WHY DO PEOPLE CALL ME CRAZY?!"
<Seraphna> "...Well, I can;t find the deadman if there is one."
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, never looking way.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well random outburts like that don't help.
<Kane> Oh dear god we're all going to die. *he says with a sigh*
* Ceilidh continues over to the bomb. "IT'S NOT LIKE I'M THE ONE CLAIMING TO BE A SUPERHERO!"
* Seraphna shakes her head and sighs, "He's gonna pull it... isn't he."
<Kane> Ceil! Calm down.
<DeathStar> <John> Only if you give me the greenlight.
<Ceilidh> "..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Green? I thought it was grey.
<DeathStar> <John> Everything's gray to you.
<Chad`Winters> Somethings are black.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: <Dias>
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow, as if waiting for Sera to let him do it
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on Ceres' office door and a body guard of the President walks in, followed by the President.
<Seraphna> "This... isn't very funny."
<DeathStar> <John> Trust me.
<Seraphna> *Ceres looks up from her papers, "Yes?"
<Seraphna> "Fine."
<Kane> John...if I die, i'll kill you.
<Chad`Winters> ...6Looks up from his computer.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs the wire and grabs the wirecutter, puting it over the wire.
<DeathStar> <John> You ready to be amazed?!
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. "Warren, I've got a plan.
<Ceilidh> "If we die, I'll kill you in your next life."
* Kane looks from Sera to Dias, to Ceil, and then to John.
<DeathStar> <President Hodges> Hello, Ceres. I wanted to talk to you about the meeting in 15 mins with Xevil.
<Seraphna> "Oh get it over with."
<DeathStar> 6* John cuts it. The timer speeds up at insane speeds
<Seraphna> Ceres> "What about it?"
<DeathStar> <John> Uh oh. Amazing, huh...?
<Seraphna> "...Oh shit."
<Ceilidh> "... idiot."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cool!
<DeathStar> <John> I-I... 6Goes to cut another one.
<Kane> Oh fuck.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva moves to her room and begins changing
<DeathStar> 6* Hodges sits down, crossing his hands together. "We've given a lot of support to the Cartel since Carmichael asked for it, but we're nearing a war. We cannot afford one. We need to make a peace deal with the Tsivrixsh
<DeathStar> 6* In 3 mins, they're all dead.
<DeathStar> <John> Now what do we do?
* Ceilidh hurries to the bomb.
* Seraphna rushes over, inspreacting each wire, trying to find the safety.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts the comm. to his ear, having finished some tight driving. "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no clear signs, unless one is a boss expert, of what to do.
<DeathStar> 6* 2 mins.
* Seraphna would have some amount of knowledge in handling things that go boom.
<DeathStar> <John> Um...
<Kane> Looks like we'll go boom. *he said, as his eyes moved over each wire, searching for the appropriate wire* ANyone of you a bomb expert?
<Chad`Winters> <C> Use your connections and release to the general public that Chris Carter has made a full recovery and will be released in an hour. Maybe we can draw him out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Raises his hand slowly*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Interesting. You could put everyone in the hospital in danger.
<Seraphna> "Pull them all? I can't find the safety."
<Kane> Are you seriously?
<DeathStar> <John> WHAT?
<DeathStar> 6* 1 minute.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh bomb expert...No.
* Ceilidh moves up and grabs John's cutters, looking over the wires
<Seraphna> "Look we have 60 seconds and then we're all dead."
<DeathStar> <John> Uh oh.
<Kane> Oh Damnit, just do something.
<DeathStar> 6* There's 12 wires
<DeathStar> 6* 3 red, 3 green, 3 orange, and 3 yellow
<DeathStar> <John> 20 seconds.
<Chad`Winters> <C> I still think there's a connection and I don't think he'll take anyone else out.
* Ceilidh quickly looks over each, then cuts a red
<DeathStar> 6* the timer stops at 2.
<Seraphna> "Jeezus..."
<DeathStar> 6* John gasps.
* Kane stares, deadpanned at the bomb.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh...
<Seraphna> "...Note to self, do not trust John's gut."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives along, considering it. He says nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Hodges stares at Ceres' silence.
<Chad`Winters> <C> If he doens't go for him, then we know these are random and I'll wake him to get a description. If he does than he's going for specific targets.
<DeathStar> <John> Wow, that was ... exciting, huh?
* Kane exhales slowly. "Wow. John...you're an idiot."
<Seraphna> *Ceres sits back and muses
<Seraphna> Ceres> "You know, we need Warren to agree to a representative."
<Ceilidh> "Exciting..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fine. Do the press release.
<Chad`Winters> <C> Understood.
<DeathStar> <Hodges> You are the diplomatic force for Earth, not Warren. I want YOU to broker the deal.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, I'll go -- interrogate the prisoner now...
* Chad`Winters clicks his comm off and begins typing on his terminal and then reopens a channel to the news station.
<DeathStar> 6* John stumbles off in a daze.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops after John.
<Kane> Jesus Christ i'm glad I keep you around. *he says with a smile to Ceil*
* Ceilidh sighs. "Do I need to make sure he doesn't mess up anything else...?"
<Ceilidh> "... thanks."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Are you authorising me to superceed Warren's authority on the project?"
<DeathStar> <Hodges> Warren commands the ship. Not the diplomatic side of things. And I'm telling you to do your job - and broker peace. Am I understood?
* Kane hops off the back of the truck and kissed Ceil on the forehead. "I'm going to go find the little boys room." He says with a grin, as he turns to move off.
<DeathStar> 6* John sits down in front of the prisoner, who's dazed.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps out and makes her way down to street.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> He looks drunk.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls into the diplomatic buildings' parking lot, stepping out and leaning on his cane. He glances around, then moves for the building.
* Ceilidh heads off to watch over the interrogation
* Chad`Winters turns his comm off and grabs his datapad and leaves his office, making his way to the front door of the building.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "I will get right on it sir." *looks up at the clock* "Six minutes, how appropriate."
<DeathStar> <John> WHERE ARE THE BOMBS? 6* He screams. The man looks too dazed to answer.
<Seraphna> "I'm going to go find a very, hard drink."
<DeathStar> 6* Hodges nods, standing up. "We're counting on you." 6He moves out of the room.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares.
<DeathStar> <John> He won't answer.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I thought this stuff was going to make him talk.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, *I* don't know
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to the guy and pokes him.
<DeathStar> 6* The guy focuses on Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hi. 6He waves.
* Kane whistles as he continues on for the restroom.
<DeathStar> <John> WHERE. ARE. THE. BOMBS?
<DeathStar> 6* The guy's head lolls around
<Ceilidh> "I don't think he's in any shape to answer..."
<DeathStar> 6* John gets frustrated, kicking a chair over. "Why won't he talk?!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Snaps his finger infront of the guys face*
<Ceilidh> "... how much drug did you use?"
<DeathStar> <John> WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?"
<DeathStar> 6* The guy mumbles.
<DeathStar> <John> All of it.
<Ceilidh> "... that explains a lot."
<DeathStar> 6* John sighs, then grabs the man's face. "Who. Do. You. Work. For."
<DeathStar> <Man> V....I...
* Seraphna sighs and gets up, stretching. Elayne grins and appears as though out of thin air. "Shall we?"
<Seraphna> *CERES
<Seraphna> Ceres> We shall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the meeting room finlaly, sitting down. He props his cane on the table.
<Seraphna> *Ceres steps out of her office and heads down the hall to the meeting room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva hops into a taxi and makes her way to Warren and the others.
<DeathStar> <John> Hmmm. 6He thinks long
<Ceilidh> "How many bombs are there?"
<DeathStar> <Man> Do...not...know..
<DeathStar> <John> Oh great.
<Ceilidh> "Where are they?"
<DeathStar> <Man> I ...do not..know..
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Where was this bomb going?
<Ceilidh> "You don't know much, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man lolls his head back. "Construction...plant...on ground.."
<DeathStar> <John> They must not have told each of the bombers where the others would be in case they were caught. 6He muses.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Where'd the bomb come from?
<DeathStar> 6* The man struggles, as if trying to resist.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops some pain pills before anyone enters.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias fishes through his pocket and pulls out a candy bar. "Want it?"
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Dias.
* Kane washes his hand after his finished, and begins to dry them off. After running through a couple paper towells, he tosses them in the trash and then turns to exit, making his way back for the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances back into the hanger at the bomb in the truck, then the man. "We don't have time to coddle him."
* Chad`Winters steps out of the building and moves over to his bike, starting it up and then hopping on and taking off to the hospital.
<DeathStar> 6* The man's head lolls about.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll trade the candy bar, for the information.
<Ceilidh> "Where did the bomb come from?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man ignores him, and doesn't answer Ceil.
* Ceilidh didn't really expect that to work
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That so works with bums...6Scowls and begins to eat it.
<DeathStar> 6* John takes a deep breath, as if debating something.
<DeathStar> 6* He paces back and forth.
* Kane steps in to the interrogation room, he glances around. "What'd he say?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Do you know how to deactivate the bomb?
<DeathStar> <Man> N-No.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs the man's throat, squeezing. "Where did the bombs come from?" 6he says, his tone dark
<Ceilidh> "Maybe we're asking the wrong questions." *looks to Kane* "He works for VI, and apparently doesn't know anything..."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil walks into the room with Warren finally, eyeing him. He sits down. <Xevil> Only you? What a welcome.
* Kane nods then eyes John. "That wont help John. Let go of him."
<DeathStar> 6* The man strains with John's squeezing, but John lets him go.
<Seraphna> *Ceres steps into the room, fixing her shirt, smiling to Xevil, "Welcome."
<DeathStar> <John> Tell me where the bombs came from!
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil eyes Ceres. "Miss. Connor."
* Kane steps forward, "Why don't you just tell us your name, first."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Who care's about his god damned name!
<DeathStar> 6* The man bumbles out his name. A standard, regular name.
<Ceilidh> "Where are your headquarters?"
<Seraphna> *Ceres takes a seat, Elayne taking a seat after her.
<Kane> SHut up. *he hisses at Dias* Alright Bob, can you tell me who you work for?
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Well, shall we begin?
<DeathStar> 6* The man mumbles V.I. again
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Smacks his forehead. "Go play with the bomb!
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms.
<Kane> No. I need a specific name.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not all of us are here. 6* He stares at Xevil
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We are already late. I demand we begin now.
<DeathStar> 6* The man just stares.
<Ceilidh> "Who is your leader?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man just stares.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps out of the taxi and begins making her way into the building.
<Ceilidh> "Do you even know who gives the orders?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans and smacks the guy upside the head.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes a deep breath, seeing the others are saying nothing
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Surely there is not such a huge rush, let's relax a bit and wait for others."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Very well. 6* He eyes her with his red eyes
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'm sure others will be arriving soon."
<DeathStar> 6* the man winces, lolled.
<Seraphna> *Ceres meets his gaze with a lazy look, but positively friendly.
<Kane> Hitting him wont help damnit.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "I never did get to say, but you dance very well sir."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Damn well helps me!
<Ceilidh> "How do you get your orders?"
<DeathStar> <John> We don't have time to cuddle him. We have... 6He eyes the clock. "9 hours."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> John we should take him to the roof.
<DeathStar> <John> The roof?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Human yo-yo the truth out of him.
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head. "Still too long." 6He grabs a marine's gun, moving over and placing it over the man's kneecap. "Tell me where the bomb came from or I'll take out your kneecap."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, an interested look on his face now.
<Ceilidh> "Do threats even register?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man eyes John.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva shows a badge as she enters and makes her way towards the correct room.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, but pain sure as hell does.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his fingers on the table.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes him back. "5 seconds."
<DeathStar> 6* The man says nothing and John [pulls the trigger, taking out a kneecap
<DeathStar> 6* The man howls
<DeathStar> * John steps away, eyeing the bloody knee.
* Kane winces at the gunshot.
<DeathStar> <John> Where did the bomb come from, or I'll take out the second kneecap. I'm pressed for time.
<DeathStar> 6* The man says nothing, groaning ni pain
* Kane rubs his temple. "It didn't work."
<DeathStar> 6* John puts his gun against the other knee
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva opens the door to the room and steps inside.
<Seraphna> *Ceres sighs, "I'm sorry Xevil, many of the alliance representatives were quite some ways away when you called this meeting. We will begin shortly.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil snarls. "The Cartel is late."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh but he sure felt it.
<Ceilidh> "That won't work either..."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Ah Shiva, good to see you."
<DeathStar> <John> Tell me.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Shiva
<DeathStar> 6* The man eyes John, grinding his teeth.
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls the trigger, taking out the second kneecap. He turns away to hide his paine expression from the prisoner. The prisoner howls.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Sorry about that, was reading an interesting article about the current death toll of some war. 6She moves over to a seat and sits down.
<Ceilidh> "You're allowed to talk about it now."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Are we opening this meeting with such pathetic innuedos?
* Ceilidh tries not to blanche at the violence
<DeathStar> 6* The man sits there, whimpering and blubbering in pain.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Stares, a blank expression on his face, if not more of an interested one.
<DeathStar> 6* John aims the gun at his stomach. "Tell me or you'll die painfully."
<Ceilidh> "John..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We could start this meeting on false pretenses but I'm sure we have plenty of negotiating to perform.
<Ceilidh> "Don't ruin this too."
* Ariel arrives with the other diplomats, after even Shiva. She's made no effort to hurry, and it's obvious.
<DeathStar> <John> Walk away if you don't want to see this.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Alright, let's settle down."
<Ceilidh> "I want answers, not a corpse, thanks."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I'll get to the point: The Tsivrixsh demand a representative on the ship that you promised to any race who was interested.
<DeathStar> <John> I SAID WALK OUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS
<DeathStar> 6* John keeps his aim steady, biting his tongue as he keeps his face serious and hard.
* Kane crosses his arms, eyeing John. He says nothing, however.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts. "It's a peace vessel. Not one for war mongrels."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And why is the Tsivrixsh Empire so interested to things outside of this galaxy?
<Ceilidh> "... this was never about answers, was it?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: in
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We are explorers.
<DeathStar> 6* The man eyes John, as if daring him.
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls the trigger, hitting him in the gut. The man winces in pain. John lowers the gun, sitting down. "I estimate you have 10-15 mins to live if you don't tell me what I need to know to get you medical help."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And conquering is just a guilt side pleasure. 6She opens up her datapad and begins jotting down notes.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: guilty.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We merely are removing a corrupt regime.
<Ceilidh> "... at least you didn't go for the heart..."
<Kane> Sometimes you have to go to extremes to get answer. *he says with a sigh*
* Chad`Winters stops his bike outside the hospital and begins to make his way inside
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If he did that, then he'd be dead.
<DeathStar> 6* John sits there, trying to keep his hands steady. The man bubbles in pain
<DeathStar> <John> Talk.
<Ceilidh> "That's what I meant."
<Seraphna> *Ceres sits back, letting them go at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Ceres.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Truely a thoughtless thing to do, granted the thousands of innocents caught in the crossfire.
<DeathStar> 6* The man says nothing as he sits there, bleeding to death
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We are liberating planets from your corrupt rule.
<Kane> Damnit, he isn't talking.
<Ceilidh> "Are you surprised?"
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the clock, then the man.
<Ceilidh> "... please tell me he's not going on the ship..."
* Kane glances at Ceil. "You aren't helping."
<DeathStar> 6* John leans forward. "Look, you're in agony. You're dying. Tell me what I need to know. Please."
* Ariel just eyes Xevil quietly, saying nothing. She's not too happy, but does her best to maintain a straight face.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And placing them under your tyranical rule. The Cartel may have had a group of corrupt individuals looking out for themselves, but innocents were left out as best as possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his cane so he can tap it on the floor. "The Earth Government will not give you passage on the ship when you are making war with others. Isn't that right, Ceres?"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Funny, then *he ignores Warren* that planets were rebelling
<DeathStar> 6* The man eyes John, taking deep, pained breaths.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the clock, then at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> One thing that is always true is that you can't please everyone.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands there, eyeing the man, his head slightly cocked.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Hardly. 6He turns to Ceres. "We demand a representative on the ship."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should really tell us what we want to know, I'm sure your family would rather you alive then dead.
<Ariel> "And under what right do you demand this?"
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Earth... wishes to forge peace with all it's neighbors, we can broker a deal to bring a representative from the Empire on the ship, however..."
<DeathStar> 6* The man takes deep, ragged breaths, eyeing Dias.
<Kane> Wouldn't want your kids to grow up fatherless.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil ignores Ariel, since Ceres interrupts with news he wants. He waits for the rest of her sentence.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A wife? Kids?
<DeathStar> 6* The man gives him a bloody smile, and his head falls forward.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, sighing. "Get him medical attention now. NOW!" 6The marines get the man out on a stretcher, moving him away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Scratches his head, his nose scrunching up.
<Ceilidh> "I need a drink..."
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there. "Well, there goes our one lead."
* Kane hangs his head. "How the hell could you have so much devotion to an organization?"
<Seraphna> Ceres> "...We will need the Empire to allow Earth to oversee the recovery of these... rebelling governments, to assure that the innocent are not caught up in battle. As well, we will need more access to Tsivrixsh Space."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> No. Your opened your arms out to other races, no strings attached, to join you in exploring the galaxy. As a sign of peace. We want our reprenstative on the ship. Or are you denying us?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slams his cane now, clearly angry.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks out.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Turns to look at Ceres. "Is that all Earth cares about? What about this neeldesss war they're spreading.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out with him. "Well that sucks.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, eyeing the truck. He moves over, and begins to search it agian
<DeathStar> <John> There has to be something. There has to be SOMETHING.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Earth cares about spreading peace, to do that, we must first make peace, not discourage it."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias follows with him, helping search himself.
* Kane rubs the back of his neck and turns to step out, eyeing John. "Me and Sera could try to rig up a scanner, I dunno if we have enough time now, but it is better than nothing."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil rolls his eyes. "If you desire peace, you will allow us to be on the ship."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yeah and PAX did a wonderful job of showing that.
<Ceilidh> "Please..."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Xevil, are you saying that the your government would have a problem with conjoined efforts in making peace in your territories?"
<DeathStar> 6* John looks under the seats, feeling around
* Ceilidh heads out
<DeathStar> <Xevil> The ship. 6He states simply, not getting into that with Ceres.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> He's threatening you, that's what he's doing. Let us in or we'll declare war, isn't that right Xevil?
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil eyes Shiva. "I cannot help what my government does if we are not allowed our right to be on the ship like any other race."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I certainly hope not."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's as good as a yes as any. 6She writes something down.
<DeathStar> 6* John works on searching the seats.
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles to Xevil
* Chad`Winters steps into the hospital and moves upto the front desk and begins talking.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves to the glove box, opening it and hsufling through the maps.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks under the seats, eyeing the space carefully.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Are you absolutely certain you are unwilling to show any signs of desire for peace?"
* Kane steps up to the cab of the truck. "John, we need some type of orders."
<Seraphna> *Ceres has an odd smirk on her face, like a joke is being played.
* Ceilidh follows Kane, silently hoping that John doesn't mess anything else up
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I am here for the ship. Not to speak with you about my governments' affairs, in which you have no say.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> However.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil eyes Ceres.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Who would be your representative?
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Perhaps I can see to it that certain disagreements are resolved.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> After all, if we are on a ship, we should all ... have open dialogues. But only after the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil stares back at Ceres, ignoring Shiva.
* Ariel is doing her best to keep her poker face... though, this little bit gets a tiny bit of a frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, eyeing Ceres and Xevil
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva cups her hands together, eyeing Xevil.
