<DeathStar> Episode 9: 4:00 - 5:00
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs the pilot controls, using the co-pilot to take over from Dias. He begins to descend the craft.
* Alicia is now known as Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HEY!
<DeathStar> <John> I don't trust your landing.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> True.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Neither do I."
* Seraphna sits in the back, mumbling to herself, staring at the floor, "Chris... Ceil..."
<DeathStar> 6* John flicks a few switches as he descends
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets go of Chad, stepping away as she watches where Eve vanished to
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> As far as I'm concerned, the Cartel will not be on the same ship as someone who wages war against us.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Eve.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his datapad, eyeing a message that the President wants to see him. He looks over, then steals somene's umbrella to use as a cane, shifting to move up to the office.
<DeathStar> 6* John lands the shuttle, sliding along the grass to a stop.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Your concepts of peace are pretty amusing, seeing as you're uunwilling to even enter negotiations."
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to flick the switches, powering down the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods her head, taking up her guard position.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You think we just enjoy war Ceres? The things they wanted to end their way were unreasonable by any standards
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, moving to the back. He lowers the ramp, standing there as he thinks.
* Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr then sighs, he then follows after Eve.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "That is why you hold negotiations."
* Seraphna stares up at John.
* Ariel stays quiet. She's been blunt about her opinion on things.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors move Eve to the room to begin the surgery. One doctor begins to close the door as Chad folows.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Sera. "... ..." 6He steps off, glancing out at what appears to be your typical research facility. So far, no guards.
* Chad`Winters stops, as the door closes
<Seraphna> Ceres> "I will be frank with you Shiva."
<DeathStar> 6* John stands there, running his hand through his red hair. "Lets find out where if there are more bombs." 6* He begins to move along the grassy field toward the base.
<Seraphna> "...Alright..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva crosses her arms
* Seraphna stands weakly and follows after him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops out from the pilots seat and moves off the shuttle, heading after John.
<DeathStar> 6* John stops by a tree, leaning around it to eye the base. Nothing. It looks abandoned.
<Chad`Winters> Keep me informed of her and the childs condition.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "This is a negotiation between Earth and the Tsivrivxsh, I bent the rules to allow you a chance at getting something out of the deal, you blew it."
<DeathStar> 6* The doctor has already closed the door and moved back in, but no doubt they will do so
<Ariel> <Em> *closes her eyes, and trys to open her mind to any intelligent presences in the area*
<DeathStar> 6* There's a field blocking such a thing. Odd.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads after, a little slowly at first
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> IF you think your measely offer of 'open' negotations is anything tangible, you're retarded.
<DeathStar> 6* John hurries forward after a moment of spying the area.
<Ariel> <Em> "...something is up."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "I am only delievering a descision that has been made by my superiors. If you want me to get the ability to deny it, you will first watch your mouth, you will secondly find me reason to deny the T anything."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides to a stop where John was, then waits, watching his back side
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "They know we're coming?"
<DeathStar> 6* John hides behind some bushes, tilting his head back toward the shuttle, too far away from Em to hear what is being said.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So the fact that they've done nothing but start war after war to snatch up planets isn't good enough reason?!
<DeathStar> 6* John peers around, then slides along until he's just at the doors of the base. He glances around, shrugging, then goes to open it. Nothing.
* Chad`Winters clenches his fist then turns, moving back to where Carter is roomed. He glances down at his watch.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Not for my surperiors."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm sure these are the same superiors that thought PAX was a brilliant idea.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves along, trying to see another way in. He finally grabs a gun, aiming at the door.
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* He fires three times into the door, then kicks it open.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sprints towards the bush John was at and slides behind it.
<Ariel> <Em> *looks to Hotaru uncertainly*
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping inside, John is out of sight of the others.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides along and to the door, stepping inside after him
<DeathStar> 6* Now Dias is out of sight.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I'm going in anyway.. I can't just leave John alone..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads after
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru also tries to stay out of sight as much as possible
<Ariel> <Em> *hesitates a moment, then heads after Hotaru*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finally exits the President's office, having been lectured. He grabs his datapad, sending a message to Chad: General Steel is being assigned to oversee the bombs and is at the destroyed base now.
<DeathStar> 6* When Hotaru and Em arrive at the door, there is no sign of John and Dias.
* Chad`Winters pulls up his datapad, eyeing it.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Is this how you negotiate? Long periods of silence?
<Seraphna> Ceres> "YUou can leave, Shiva."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his comm to get in touch with Chad. "It seems luck is in our favor. The radiation is blowing away from the city."
* Seraphna moves into the base after the others, having been sticking to John.
<DeathStar> 6* As Sera arrives, finally, after a long period, she would find JOhn and Dias gone, too, and only Em and Hotaru
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Not much to gain from this meeting anyways. One would assume you're personal love for Xevil has jaded your perspective of things.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear. "We got lucky, real lucky. There's no signs of an assailant either.
<Seraphna> "I think they went in on thier own..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He must not have taken the bait.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hobbles along with his umbrella cane
<Chad`Winters> <C> There's no way a doctor's going to give me the serum and the dad's not gonna give me permission. He'd rather have a retarded son than a dead one.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Parental concerns are a bitch. 6He notes blandly.
<DeathStar> 6* As the three of them stand there for over 5 mins, nothing happens. Just an empty room with an open door leading further in the base
* Seraphna sighs a bit more, "Should we go in after them or what...?"
<Chad`Winters> <C> Looks like these aren't connected then...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... yeah..."
* Seraphna hits her comms, "John where are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* A jammer blocks the comm.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads after, eyeing Sera
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not necessarily. It could be that he's not concerned to follow up right away.
<Seraphna> "Not good..."
<DeathStar> 6* The open door leads to a long hallway, full of rooms, and one at the far end. 10 rooms total.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva picks up her datapad and walks out, leaving the two silent people there alone
<Ariel> <Em> *doesn't enter until after Hotaru... she doesn't like this at all*
<Seraphna> *Ceres looks at her nails.
<Chad`Winters> <C> Than we consider this a scrapped experiment and move on.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along, beginning to pass Shiva in the hallway. He pauses. "I'll get back to you, Chad." 6He clicks off even if Chad is in the middle of speaking.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'd have punched her."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Sometimes it's better to enrage them."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to eye Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva stops, eyeing Warren holding an umbrella*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Leaving?
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru keeps looking for John. And Dias too.
<DeathStar> 6* In what rooms?
<Ariel> "There is starting to look like there is little point to being here."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Like I said, I need a reason to override my orders."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Apparently this was all a secret plot by the illustrious Ceres to help broker a negotation with the Cartel and the Tsiv.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "So far I've been provided highschool drama on a galactic scale."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Leaving solves nothing.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You know as well as I do that Xevil want's nothing more than what they already have and then some.
* Chad`Winters sighs, rubbing his forehead again.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru checks the open doors first!
<DeathStar> <Warren> Xevil wants everything. Your leaving just gives him that easier.
<DeathStar> 6* No open doors.
* Seraphna checks the first closed door.
<Ariel> "You believe an offer can be sincere, when it is preceeded by 'I demand'?"
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna would find an office, it appears, of a scientist. It's empty, currently ,except for paperwork.
* Seraphna steps in carefully and looks about, eyeing the paperwork.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> He's pretty much going to get what he wants with or without me here.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be paperwork researching psionics. Complicated stuff that would take hours to go over.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru follows Sera
<DeathStar> <Warren> Remain here longer. We simply need more time.
* Seraphna sighs and steps out, checking the next room after drawing her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* The next room is another office. This one has no paperwork or any info. It appears all the files here were destroyed.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Time? 6She eyes Warren curiously. 1"From what I could gather, this was a done deal regardless...Why drag it out?"
<Ariel> <Em> *uncomfortably starts to wander ahead of the others... not liking this place at all*
<DeathStar> <Warren> You would be surprised at what someone can accomplish when negotations are delayed a few hours. I simply need to learn what why President Hodges want this deal so bad.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So what you need is time then huh?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Indeed.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru sticks with Em. "Are you alright..?"
<DeathStar> 6* Em, as he wanders ahead, would find herself at the single door at the end of the hallway. It appears to be an stairway door, judging by the sign saying "Staircase"
* Chad`Winters clenches his fist then moves back to the operation room.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I can give you that.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. "Good. Then I'll find a way to debunk Xevil."
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be in there still, behind curtains.
* Chad`Winters stands outside the door and stares into the window, waiting.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks up the stairs
<Ariel> <Em> *looks to the staircase, looking for signs of people*
<DeathStar> 6* The stairs lead down, it appears, if they glance inside. Deep into the ground. An underground labatory?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva brushes her hair back in place and turns back around, heading back towards the conference room.
<Ariel> <Em> "...I don't like this at all, Hota."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to move along with his umbrella, going to step outside to get out of the building. He doesn't need the President listening in.
* Seraphna moves behind the other two, covering the rear.
<Seraphna> "Ya'think?"
<DeathStar> 6* If one of them notices, a door on the left, right before the staircase, is labeled "Security".
<Seraphna> "We could... coordinate better if you two would open up..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva opens the door and steps back inside.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Security room. That might help."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads towards it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door appears locked with a card key reader. Brute force, or a card key, is the only way in.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "And... I don't like it either..."
<Seraphna> "Let me see that..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> ".. the security room is secure."
* Seraphna cracks open the card slot and messes with the wiring a bit.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You can get it open without setting off alarms, I hope?"
<DeathStar> 6* It'll take about 2 mins if Sera wants to safely open it.
<Seraphna> "yeah, gimme some time."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Sorry bout that, it's that time of the month for me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her face as she stands there, tired. She glances where Chad vanished out of sight to watch the Eve delivery.
<Ariel> <Em> "...I'm going to look down there."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Alright... want me to come with you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And I see you two are still mute...This should make things go quicker. 6She moves back to her spot.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps outside finally. He grabs his datapad, contacting some of his off the book sources. He walks along, sending them what he needs.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> *gets Zephyr a caffinated hot chocolate. She's bored out of her mind right now*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes it. "Thank you. Something tells me we're wasting our time here."
<Ariel> <Setsuna> "Think Chad's plan failed?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Possibly. The killer might have been suspicious.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Em?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses as he glances across the street at a van
<Ariel> <Em> "It's up to you." *heads down stairs*
* Seraphna gets the door open.
<Seraphna> "Got it."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva glances over at Ariel, tapping her cheek. "What do you make of this then?"
<DeathStar> 6* As Em heads down, she would see it's 4 floors down to the next door. A simple 30 second walk.
<Seraphna> "Em, Hotaru?"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru sticks with Em, then. "Keep an eye on things for us, Sera."
<Seraphna> "Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Pausing, he puts his back to the van, moving across the parking lot toward a coffee shop.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera, once opening the door, would find otns of monitors. Covering this base.
* Seraphna steps into the security room, she looks over the monitors
<DeathStar> 6* One of the monitors, she would see... John and Dias battling a giant robot in what appears to be a loading bay of materials.
<DeathStar> 6* John backflips onto a crate. "I think you pissed it off!!!"
<Seraphna> "What the hell..."
* Seraphna starts patching the comms into the bases systems.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot grabs a crate and hurls it at John, who flips away.
<Ariel> "I honestly do wonder what the point of calling a commitee, if it's a singular decision."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slams into a crate, sliding down it. "Yeah, but it was so worth it."
<DeathStar> <John> Worth it! You called it's mother a toaster1
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> It is intruiging.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the coffee shop wehn suddenly a shot rings out. He's hit, spinning into the alley.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6leaps to the side as the robot smashes the crate he was against. "Yeah but now we know that it has feelings!
<Ariel> "Intriguing?"
<DeathStar> 6* John rushes up, kicking the leg. He bonces off, grabbing his foot
<DeathStar> OW OW OW
<Ariel> <Em> *opens the door at the bottom, and looks into the lab*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That even tho the deicsion is supposedly already made, this is happening.
<DeathStar> 6* Em would find what appears to be a loading bay, which must lead to the lab. And there's your two heroes fighting a giant robot
<DeathStar> 6* The robot grabs John adn hurls him into a wall.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> "Want to talk to Chad about this?"
<Ariel> <Em> "John!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He has a lot on his mind.
<DeathStar> 6* John slides down the wall.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs a small crate and twirls around, hurling it at the robots head
<DeathStar> 6* The robot grabs the crate, eyeing Dias.
* Seraphna gets it working, "Em... Hota John and Dias are... oh... there you are..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru hurries over. "John!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ahh shit...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets to his feet as another shot rings out, nailing him in the arm. He winces, rushing down the alley.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot throws it at Dias.
<Seraphna> "Guys the robot! Focus on it!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is nailed by the crate and slams into several crates behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stumbles, his umbrella a poor excuse for a cane. He hits the ground, right as his attacker begins to approach. Glancing around, he eyes a hole in a metal fence, crawling for it
* Seraphna looks around desperately for some kinda controls for the robot.,
<DeathStar> 6* The robot begins to approach Dias slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* She would find a security control box, which possiblely could affect the robot. Who knows.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans in pain as he pushes several crates off him.
* Seraphna qwuickly analyses it, trying to find the right controls.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru brings her scythe up and attacks the robot
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his comm, turning it on and elaving it on the ground. Chad would hear what appears another shot.
<Ariel> <Em> *looks for a weapon*
<DeathStar> 6* She would find "Guard 1 Switches". A red button seems to be a stop button
* Chad`Winters suddenly looks up, tapping his ear. WARREN?!
<DeathStar> 6* The robot is attacked. IT spins on Hootaru
* Seraphna hits it.
* Chad`Winters turns and sprints down the hallway, moving for the stairwell
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru eyes the robot, swinging again
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rolls under the fence, right as a grenade bounces down. An explosion rings out, tearing the alley up and ripping a hole that leads into the sewers.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, watching Chad rush off. "Chad...?
<DeathStar> 6* The robot stops, and is stabbed. It sparks.
* Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad with his one hand and begins typing it in to track Warren's comm signal
<Seraphna> "I turned it off! Go check on John!"
<DeathStar> 6* The comm signal goes dead. It appears to be destroyed.
<DeathStar> 6* John grunts, unconscious it appears, but waking up
<Ariel> <Setsuna> *looks to Zephyr, then runs after Chad*
* Chad`Winters rushes into the stairwell and grabs the handrail and leaps over it and continues to do that to make his way to do the main floor.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru heads over to John. "Are you alright?"
<Ariel> <Em> *quickly heads to check on John*
<DeathStar> <John> My head hurts... 6He mutters, getting up by leaning on the wall. "What took you girls so long...?
* Seraphna checks over the other monitors.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, stumbling into a crate, he looks over at John adn the two girls. "Yeah...don't worry...I'm fine..."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We lost sight of you.."
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be movement on one. But whoever it is avoids the camera.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks over to Dias. "Glad you're alright too."
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head.
* Seraphna taps the comms again. "Guys, we're not alone in here."
<DeathStar> <John> We're not alone?
* Chad`Winters hits the main floor and shoves through several people, eyeing his datapad.
* Seraphna tries to track the movement through other cameras.
<DeathStar> 6* They apparantly avoid them, as if they know which one she's looking at.
<Seraphna> "I'm in the security room, I caught some movement but whoever it is is avoiding the cameras."
<Seraphna> "We need to get out of here... this reeks of trap."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Which room?"
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in the political building, there's commotions outside. Odd, the girls didn't her anything in their sound proof conference room
<DeathStar> <John> We can't leave until we find info on those bombs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva sighs, at the quietness of the room.
* Chad`Winters sprints over to his bike, and powers it up.
<DeathStar> 6* A guard steps into the room. "Please follow me. We're moving to a more secure location."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Stumbles forward towards John, dusting himself off.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes a door across the way, that leads further into the base. "Lets go that way."
<Ariel> "Secure location?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Why? What's going on?
<DeathStar> <Guard> There's been attack outside the building. Please, follow us. 6He moves out of the room
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Maybe they'll be another robot...
<Ariel> <Em> *nods slowly*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Isn't that further in?"
<DeathStar> <John> ... Yeaaaaah.
<Seraphna> Ceres> "Alright then."
<Seraphna> *Ceres and Elayne get up.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I guess there isn't time..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Riveting.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard leads them to the stairs, which leads to the roof and the shuttle port above.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva turns and follows after the guard.
<DeathStar> 6* John hurries over to the door.
<Ariel> <Setsuna> *goes for her bike, making sure she's tracking Chad's signal, incase she looses him*
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru starts moving, reluctantly, to the door
<Ariel> "Do you know anything more?" *gets up to follow*
* Chad`Winters takes off, heading straight to Warren's location, easily breaking the speed limit.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods to everyone, then eyes the camera that Sera can see. "Is the next room clear?"
<Ariel> <Em> "...stay on guard." *wishes she wasn't unarmed*
* Seraphna looks
<DeathStar> <Guard> No, ma'am. We think it might be an attack on the President.
<Seraphna> "Lemme see..."
<DeathStar> 6* Clear.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Begins walking for the other room.
<Seraphna> "Yeah it's clear."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Begins walking for the other room.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard moves them up the stairs. By the time they reach the roof, the Presidential shuttle is flying away as is the Tsivrixsh shuttle. Their shuttle is still there, of course.
<DeathStar> 6* John opens the door, eyeing the lab.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I'd be on guard anyway."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru follows John into the lab
<DeathStar> <John> Hunh. This appears to be some sort of lab.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Moves onto the shuttle and takes a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps in, eyeing a tube.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks inside. "Sure this was where the bombs were?
<DeathStar> 6* The guard gets on the shuttle as well, nodding to he pilot.
<DeathStar> <John> An odd place for bombs. There's a computer. Maybe we can find something on it. Seraphna, you're like the only hacker type person we have now that ... well, you know. Get down here.
* Ariel gets on reluctantly.
<Ariel> <Em> "...even /I/ could have told you this was a lab."
<DeathStar> 6* From the rooftop, they can see smoke coming from an alley across the street. It appears as if the alley completely collapsed into the sewers.
<Seraphna> *Ceres and Elayn get aboard
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to the tube and presses his face against it.
<Seraphna> "Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* John glances around, seeing there's more rooms down here. "I wonder if we should keep looking."
* Seraphna sighs and grabs her gun, heading down the way they went.
<DeathStar> 6* The pilot lifts the shuttle up into the air.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I wonder what they're doing here?"
<DeathStar> <Pilot> We'll take you to the President's private residence outside town, so you can finish the negotations in peace. And without threat of more bombs.
<DeathStar> <John> Experiments.
<DeathStar> <John> ... with BOMBS!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> 6Pulls away from the tube and looks at John. "Maybe they wanted to make a hybrid bomb. One that combined human emotions and machine.
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to fly over the city.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "The tubes don't look like..."
<DeathStar> <John> ... What?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Dias... are you feeling alright?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at John blankly. "Like I was saying, I'm sure that guy's around here somewhere.
<DeathStar> <John> ... ... creeped out now.
* Seraphna reaches the others, "Alright, where's this computer?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Anyway, I'm sure it's not just regular bombs that they're making here."
<DeathStar> 6* John nods to the computer.
<DeathStar> <John> The corner.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I do hope the negotations don't take too long.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Maybe some sort of psionic bomb... I don't know... but not a normal one."
<DeathStar> <Pilot> New Year Eve's plans?
<Ariel> <Em> "...psionic bomb?"
<DeathStar> <John> ... ... More creeped out.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I don't know. I'm just trying to work out how psionics and bombs could possibly be linked."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm very curious about how this planet celebrates it.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "If they even are."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "There probably aren't any bombs here."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And you guys say I'm wierd. 6He turns moving to the other room.
* Seraphna starts checking out the computer.
<DeathStar> 6* John watches Dias exit the room.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves over to Sera. It's password protected
<DeathStar> <John> Can you crack this?
<Seraphna> "Truth be told most of my hacking skills came from being bonded to Kane."
<Seraphna> "But we'll see."
<DeathStar> <John> I don't suppose you remember anything?
<Seraphna> "I always retain a little bit with each bonding."
<DeathStar> <John> What would you get if you bonded with me?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> * Someone lashes out at Dias, somewhat unprofessionally, but fiercely
<Seraphna> "Possibly your ability to get someone into bed without trying."
<DeathStar> <John> Zing.
<Ariel> <Em> "......"
* Seraphna works at cracking it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is lashed out at and is sent flying along the floor.
<DeathStar> <Pilot> Odd.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides to a stop and pushes himself up, quickly eyeing the room to see who attacked him.
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to check his instruments.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Odd's not a good word to use when your flying.
<DeathStar> <Pilot> My sensors detected an energy signature, and it's claiming we have more weight than we should have
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> * There's a black haired woman in a VI uniform standing there, and she throws a punch at Dias as he stands
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes the guard, then begins to check the instruments.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws his right hand up to intercept the punch and returns his own punch, straight for her chest.
<Seraphna> *Ceres looks about. Elayne taps something on her wrist.
* Ariel frowns, and goes to check the back of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Just some equipment, it would appear, and a medical cabinet.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> * She manages to dodge the blow, as if expecting it
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Looks like teleporting isn't for Erusians only.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> * And then kicks out back
* Seraphna keeps cracking.
<DeathStar> 6* John keeps watching.
