<Warren`> Stardate: 10-582.2.7
<Warren`> Location: PAX Starship in route to planet Pi'ran
<Warren`> 6* The next assignment for PAX, assigned by Spade, has gone underway to the planet Pi'ran to forge a new alliance with the planet. It is rather far from the Tsivrixsh Empire's recent activities and seemingly would serve little purpose for aquirement.
* Seraphna returned from her brief visit home looking amazingly refreshed.
<Warren`> 6* Captain Spade sits on the bridge, enjoying to be located there during the voyages in space. He sits in the captain's seat, watching the crew do their tasks.
* Seraphna is busy in teh hanger bay, inspecting the shuttle carefully, especially Ariel's seat.
* Warren` has remained rather isolated since the incident last week, remaining in his quarters, going over files unrelated to PAX
<Warren`> 6* Katrina is in her quarters, asleep.
* Slasher rests in his quarters having worked a late shift the night before.
* Xanatos`Durran is currently walking along the halls, simply passing idle time.
* `Kane is off to the side of the hanger, watching Sera, but also working on a program on his datapd.
<Seraphna> *Elayne is on board with her camera crew, prepping for the mission.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: If anyone would like an image of Kane or Xanatos just PM me to let me know, if you don't care, I don't. :D
<Warren`> NRP: I'd like naked images of all the PAX female crew members.
<Warren`> NRP: .... for research purposes.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: You would.
* Slasher opens his eyes, and sits up, swinging his legs of his bed.
<Warren`> 6* A mechanic makes whistling sounds at Kane from behind whenever he peers at Sera.
* Slasher stands upright and moves over to his closet, putting on his uniform
* Seraphna is oblivious, in her own little world
<Seraphna> *ELayne and a cameraman head to the Bridge
* Ariel has been spending more time at the gunnery range lately... seeming to be using it to burn of stress.
<Warren`> NRP: *She blows a hole in the hull and everyone dies. The investigation ends*
* `Kane jerks his head around and digs himself deeper into his seat, trying to stay completely into his datapd.
<`Kane> NRP: Damn a!
<Warren`> 6* Spade turns in his seat as Elayne arrives on the bridge, rising to his feet and gesturing with his hands. "Miss Trenton, welcome to the bridge."
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles, "Nice to see you again Captain Spade."
* Slasher finishes dressing and he turns, leaving his room and making his way to the security room.
* Warren` shuts the folder and hides it under his pillow. He adjusts his uniform, stepping out into the hallway. He makes his way to the hanger, peering around the corner at Seraphna working
<Warren`> <Spade> The pleasure is all mine. It's wonderful to have you on such a voyage.
* Seraphna hums a little tune as she works, you'd think nothing ever happened.
<Warren`> ... 6He narrows his eyes suspiciously.
<Seraphna> NRP: *Warren sees a picture of pretty birds flying over a beautiful landscape, Warren instnatly distrusts the painting and burns it*
<Warren`> NRP: I know those birds represent DOOM!
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Can you tell the people at home, how is PAX doing with the loss of General Cartwright?"
<Warren`> <Spade> I feel the entire crew misses the General. He was the heart and soul of the team. But he trained these fine people to work onward toward his dream ... even if he isn't here with them.
* Warren` walks over to the shuttle and obviously begins to inspect it for traps.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We hear you did more then well on your last mission, any comments on the unanimous agreements between Earth and it's most bitter enemies?"
<Warren`> <Spade> It's a sign that PAX remains a successful operation, if it can reach out to one of Earth's old enemies and makes them allies.
* Seraphna looks up from her work on the shuttle. "Warren."
* Warren` doesn't acknowledge Sera, examing the engines himself.
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> *remains silent, in thought*
* Slasher steps into the security room, logging onto his computer and coming on duty. He then walks over to the weapons locker and begins to take his weapons out.
<Slasher> NRP: Where's Red?
* Xanatos`Durran whistles as he wanders.
<Gracia> NRP: Security room works
<Slasher> You've been awfully quiet Lt. Red Fox, what's on your mind?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Anotehr question, word is that you're currently involved with a team member of PAX, do you feel this will interfere with your role as leader?"
<Warren`> 6* Spade laughs warmly. "Well, it'll teach me never to underestimate the press' ability to learn things."
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> Just.. all the things that have been happening, I guess. Everything's different now.
<Warren`> 6* One of the crew members glances at Spade. "Sir, we're picking up a signal."
<Slasher> Finding it hard to trust people?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'm good at what I do Captain."
<Warren`> <Spade> Is it the next hyper gate? <Crew> No sir, I think it's a distress beacon.
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> Partly..
<Warren`> 6* Spade turns, then walks over to the crew member. "Where's it located?" 6The crew member works, then locates one of the moons of the main planet in the sector. "I think it's one of our colony suppy vessels." <Spade> Hm. And there's no other military vessel in the area. Get me all the details you can on that planet. 6He turns to Elayne. "You'll have to excuse me for a moment, Miss. Trenton." 6He steps past her and off the bridge.
<Slasher> I findi t hard to hold my trust also but I still plan on doing my job.
* Warren` steps away from the shuttle after a moment, satisfied. He runs right into Spade, standing there with a disapproving look
<Warren`> <Spade> We have a situation, Captain. Come to my office. 6He turns and walks off. Warren stands there, then follows with teeth grinded.
* Xanatos`Durran walks past Spade and Warren, with a blank expression on his face. He steps up to the shuttle. "So I guess Spade has issued that we are to use this shuttle?"
<Warren`> 6* The crew member on the bridge gets the information, nodding to Elayne as he hurries out to find Spade.
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> *nods* I'm going to keep going too. It's just that its sinking in now how much things have changed.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Xanatos was talking to Sera btw.
<Warren`> 6* Katrina wakes up, yawning. She begins to throw her uniform on, rubbing her eyes. She doesn't bother to fix her frazzled hair and steps out into the hallway, yawning. She walks down it toward the cafeteria.
<Seraphna> "Yep!"
<Warren`> *On everyone's comm* We have a situation. Please meet me and Captain Spade in the hanger in 5 minutes.
* Slasher looks over at Red Fox. 1"Let's go."
<Warren`> 6* Katrina pauses, yawning. She turns and walks into the hanger, sitting on a crate.
* Slasher turns and walks out of the security room, making his way down to the hanger.
* Ariel finishes up, then proceeds towards the hangar
* Xanatos`Durran nods, half-smiling to her and then moves over to lean against the Crate that Katrina is sitting on. "Rought night?"
<Xanatos`Durran> nRPL Rough
<Xanatos`Durran> :
* Warren` walks into the hanger, followed by Spade moments later. Warren doesn't looked pleased, and Spade seems full of smiles.
<Warren`> <Katrina> Sometimes I forget when too much is too much,
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> *follows Slasher*
* Slasher steps into the hanger, walking over towards Warren
<Gracia> NRP: nRPL? Is that sports? :P
<Xanatos`Durran> I find that whenever I begin to drink to feel better. That I've had enough.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Shhhh. ;p
* `Kane is already there, sitting there quietly.
<Warren`> <Spade> We picked up a distress signal from the Starship Odyssey. It's a colony supply ship with a crew of about 25. They were suppose to arrived at one of our colonies 2 days ago, but they never made it. We believed their ship malfunctioned and crashlanded on the fifth moon of this system's planet. The problem, however, is that it is a frigid, artic planet and estimates on how long they might have survived are only in a handful of days.
<Warren`> <Spade> We're the only ship in the area that can possibly respond to this distress signal, so I feel it is our duty to see if we can save anyone from the ship. PAX might be about negotiation peace, but I'm sure saving lives if just as important. So that's why the security crew and I will go down to the planet and try to locate the ship.
<Warren`> 6* Katrina squints at Spade as she sits there.
<Seraphna> "Okay..."
<Slasher> Understood.
<Slasher> Is the planet hostile?
* Xanatos`Durran yawns.
<Warren`> <Spade> Other than native animal life, there should be nothing else to fear.
<Warren`> <Spade> But we don't have extensive records on the planet, so we aren't sure what type of animal life we will encounter.
<Warren`> <Spade> Lt. Commander Durran, prep the shuttle. We're leaving as of now. Let this be our finest hour.
<Xanatos`Durran> ...Right. *he moves over to the shuttle and gets on, doing the prepping bit.*
<Warren`> Alright, security people. We'll need warm clothing. So get your thermal suits from the security office if you don't have them on hand.
* Slasher turns making his way back up to the Security Room
* Warren` holds up his own, sliding on the black coat over his uniform like a trench coat. He tosses Durran his own coat, since he knew he'd be stuck prepping.
* Seraphna looks to Kat and shrugs, "Guess we're staying behind."
* Xanatos`Durran catches it and thanks him, he moves to the back of the shuttle and checks all that shizzle. Then he moves back to the front.
<Warren`> <Katrina> It seems that way. Not that I mind. I hate the cold.
* `Kane glances around. "Ummm sir, will I be coming too?" (to spade)
<Warren`> <Spade> We might need you to get a reading on the ship's computers, so yes.
* Slasher comes back down, his thermal suit in hand.
<Warren`> 6* Spade slides his own coat on, moving over to Sera. "Keep yourself occupied. I think I left a book for you in your room." 6He nods to her, moving onto the shuttle
* `Kane nods. "Yes, sir.' he quickly moves to get his thermals.
* Warren` adjusts his thermal coat, not even looking at Sera
<Seraphna> "Okies... you be careful William."
* Slasher steps onto the shuttle, putting his thermal coat on.
<Warren`> How strange we find such a situation when taking an out of the way course to our destination. 6He says to her, stepping onto the shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back at Warren. "You might want to keep all that mistrust a little on the inside for the time being. It isn't going to make it any better..."
* Warren` takes the co-pilot seat, glancing at Durran only for a moment, then at the controls.
* Slasher takes a seat unzipping his coat to cool himself off already
* `Kane steps back into the hangar with his thermals in his hand and gets onto the shuttle.
* Seraphna smiles to Kat, "Wanna have a little session now?"
<Warren`> <Katrina> I need caffine and food right now. How about you go read your book for a bit and then we'll meet up in say 30 minutes. 6She stretches like a cat.
* Ariel quietly takes a seat on the shuttle.
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> *gets onto the shuttle quietly*
<Seraphna> "Okies!"
<Warren`> 6* Spade sits next to Ariel, glancing at her and giving her a polite smile. His eyes don't seem to be smiling though.
* Xanatos`Durran leans back finished and then clicks his comm. "Hey Katrina. Since i'm going to be out roughing it in the snow, I expect some hot cocoa whenever I return." He laughs into the comm.
<Slasher> NRP: *Infact his eyes are like daggers*
<Warren`> 6* Katrina hops off the box and walks down the hallway. She thumbs her comm. "Your ego will keep you warm."
* Seraphna smiles and heads to her room
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: You win this round my dear. *He glances around* "Everyone on?"
<Warren`> 6* Upon entering her room, she would find it completely trashed, as if someone were looking for it. The book Spade mentioned is on the floor, the pages torn as someone leafed through it.
<Warren`> <Spade> Let us depart.
* Xanatos`Durran nods and closes the ramp, taking the shuttle out of the hangar.
<Warren`> 6* The moon in question is a few clicks away, and it looks like it's a frozen iceball of hell
<Seraphna> "Wh-What the hell!!!???"
* Xanatos`Durran sets a course for the frozen iceball of hell.
* Seraphna looks about her room, checking things over, knowing it was Warren
<Warren`> 6* It seems someone did a thorough job of searching it, looking for something
* Warren` leans back in his seat, looking neutral for once, which means he must be in a good mood.
* Seraphna checks all of her valuables.
<Warren`> 6* Nothing was removed.
* Seraphna checks through her uniforms and work logs
<Warren`> 6* The uniforms were searched and the work logs obviously flipped through
<Warren`> 6* As the shuttle nears the planet, the tempature just seems to drop unnaturally, even onboard the shuttle.
* Ariel seems not to notice the dropping temperature... if anything, she seems to relax because of it.
* Slasher begins to zip his coat up, he turns back looking at Ariel.
<Warren`> 6* Spade puts his arm on the seat rest behind Ariel, like someone would do in a movie theater.
<Ariel> "......"
<Xanatos`Durran> Grab the controls for a second Warren.
* Warren` glances back at everyone to see if they're okay, noting Spade and Ariel. He turns back around, his jaw set as he eyes out the window. He grabs the controls silently.
* Seraphna checks over the book Spade left in worry
<Warren`> 6* The book is ripped and torn, as if someone expected to find something in it.
* Xanatos`Durran takes the opportunity to put his thermal on, zipping it up. He regains control of the ship. "Thank you."
<Slasher> Ariel can I talk to you?
<Warren`> 6* As they begin to enter the atmosphere, harsh winds slam into the shuttle and hail smashes against it. It feels like trying to fly through a hurricane.
* `Kane would also put on his Thermals. Though he is still shaking slightly, but I do not think from the tempurature.
* Xanatos`Durran grits his teeth and tries his damnest to keep control of the ship.
* Seraphna sighs and sits on her bed, starting to cry again, "That fracking mosnter..."
* Ariel nods, "Of course, sir."
* Slasher motions her to sit by her
<Warren`> 6* The tempature begins to drop even lower. The controls are literally freezing.
<Warren`> We need to raise the heat shields I think.
<Warren`> 6* Katrina drinks her coffee and eats her ceral
<Xanatos`Durran> I agree. Could you..i'm a little tied up right here. *he arms are tense on the controls*
* Warren` reaches over, flicking the approriate switches to activate the heat shields. It begins to get a reasonable tempature again.
* Seraphna gets out something she normally doesn;t read and looks it over
* Ariel sighs a little
* Xanatos`Durran glances up at the one of the meters, judging to see how much closer he is too the ground.
* Ariel moves over to sit next to Slasher, not exactly upset about the chance to get away from Spade
<Warren`> 6* As they go lower, all they see is white. In fact, if it wasn't for the readings, he wouldn't tell. But it appears he's about 100 meters above the ground and about 6.5 clicks from the downed ship.
<Slasher> Are you gonna be ok with out a thermal suit?
* Slasher he leans in closer to Ariel.
<Warren`> 6* The heat shield begins to fail. It seems there isn't enough power going to it as there are other systems. Then again, who would have considered PAX being in such a location?
<Ariel> "I do not think there will be a problem sir. And normal insulation should be fine for me. I..."
* Ariel pauses to consider a moment.
<Ariel> "I am honestly more comfortable in a colder environment."
<Warren`> 6* The engines, however, are operating more than optimally in the situation.
<Slasher> Good, I just want to make sure.
* Seraphna works at cleaning up her room, after taking out a camera and photographing everything.
<Warren`> Our heat shields are weakening. If we lose them, we'll freeze to death.
* Xanatos`Durran has to do a blind landing, which is fine, he is trained to do so. So uses the meter to allow him to get about 2 fifths of the mile from the ship, he esitmates thats the safest distance, then he slowly begins to bring her down. "Warren, try to keep that heat shield alive until we can land."
* Warren` leans forward, taking power from the engines to the shields.
* Xanatos`Durran adjusts for the loss of power.
<Warren`> 6* Durran at the last moment sees a jagged ice rock below him
<Xanatos`Durran> Fuck. *jerks the ship up and to the left. Before bringing it back down.
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle lands in the thick snow. Thicker than expected, as they sink a good ways down.
<Warren`> 6* Katrina finishes her meal, drinking her coffee slowly.
<Xanatos`Durran> .........Hmmm it is going to take a lot of fuel to get out of this..
<Warren`> Do we have enough?
* Xanatos`Durran checks.
<Warren`> 6* They've expended almost half their fuel.
<Xanatos`Durran> Hmmm. Tough call.
* Seraphna sits down, jsut fnishing her cleaning, sighing as she works at repairing the book
<Xanatos`Durran> It'll be close, regardless. We should hurry.
<Warren`> Alright, people. We'll follow the beacon. We need to move hard and fast.
* Slasher grabs his rifle off his back, charging it up
* Warren` stands up, pulling his goggles over his face as he flips his thermal suit on. He goes to lower the rmap, but the thick snow prevents it. He steps back, eyeing the roof and feels around for the emergency hatch.
* Slasher pulls his mask over his face and tosses his goggles on
<Xanatos`Durran> I'd say we only have about 10-20 minutes to do this.
* Seraphna makes a backup of the camera's memory stick and pockets it
<Xanatos`Durran> So get ready.
<Warren`> Okay, the hatch is ready. Lower the shields.
* Xanatos`Durran stands turns on the thermal suit, and places on his goggles, then he lowers the shields.
* Slasher activates his thermal suit and he waits.
<Warren`> 6* The heat shields vanish and already the bitter, harsh cold sinks in. The walls of the shuttle begin to freeze
* Gracia turns her thermal suit on as the cold sinks in
<Seraphna> "Can't exactly bring this to Warren... I'll have to wait for Will..."
* Warren` throws the hatch open, the wind screaming above them. He grabs the hatch and pulls himself up and out.
<Gracia> <Red_Fox> *turns her thermal suit on as the cold sinks in*
* Gracia is now known as Red_Fox
* `Kane also turns his suit on.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Better
* Xanatos`Durran steps over and makes a step out of his hands so he can help others.
* Warren` stands on top of the ice covered roof of the shuttle, unable to see anything in the wind and snow and ice.
<Warren`> 6* Spade grabs the side and throws himself up easily beside Warren.
* Slasher steps out using Xanatos
* `Kane also gets outside.
<Warren`> <Spade> We have about 15 minues before this shuttle freezes beyond use. We'll have to go. Use your datapads to follow the beacon. Go now. 6He hops off into the thick snow, wearing a special shoe that lets him walk on it. He hurries on. Warren frowns, then adjusts his boots for the snow, running after him.
* Slasher adjust his boots and he hurries after Warren and Spade
* Xanatos`Durran makes sure to set a beacon on the shuttle and lifts himself out, he adjust his boots, as does Kane, then he hurries after them.
<Warren`> 6* As the snow begins to smash against them, they begin to lose sight of Warren and Spade.
* Ariel steps out with the other. She shields her eyes from the wind for a moment, then starts after the captains
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> *follows quickly, before she loses track*
<Warren`> 6* Their datapads begin to freeze in their hands.
* Xanatos`Durran curses as he rushes onward, picking up speed.
* Slasher runs along the snow, trying to keep up.
<Warren`> 6* Xanatos and Red Fox become seperated form the others after a while.
* `Kane keeps his head low and runs on behind Slasher.
<Warren`> 6* As Ariel runs along, the grounds shakes and shatters, plummeting inward as the snow rushes in on all sides of her.
* Xanatos`Durran tries to keep his Datapad alive, attempting to give it warmth via his thermal suit.
* Seraphna sighs and fixes her hair and her clothes, getting up to go see Kat
<Warren`> 6* Katrina walks into her office, sitting down with her cat mug, drinking her coffee.
* Seraphna walks in after her, sighing.
<Warren`> 6* As Xanatos and Fox run along, they suddenly bump into something white. It's like a huge white .. bear. It turns, it's claws swiping at Xanatos.
* Slasher checks his datapd to see how far away he is.
<Warren`> 6* Slasher is nearing the destination. Minutes away.
* Xanatos`Durran flips back, trying to avoid the attack.
<Warren`> 6* The creature swipes at him again, agile for a big white thing in the snow.
* Ariel trys her best to gain some more solid footing before she's burried
* `Kane makes sure to keep right on Slasher's heels.
<Seraphna> "Well now he's gone over the top..."
* Xanatos`Durran jumps back, this time pulling out his pistols and firing into the creature.
<Warren`> 6* Slasher and Kane arrive near a broken ship in the snow. Warren and Spade are there, obviously yelling about something at each other.
* Red_Fox draws her beam saber and pistol, taking a shot at the creature
<Warren`> 6* The creature gushes red into the snow from the two shots. It roars in pain.
* Slasher rushes upto the two
* Xanatos`Durran motions for Fox to keep going.
* `Kane falls in behind Slasher.
<Warren`> <Spade> There's life signs inside, but they're weak. There should be hoverbeds in the shuttle. You two locate them so we can get the survivors. Warren and I will locate them.
<Warren`> 6* Spade begins to head for the lifesigns.
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> *keeps moving*
* Warren` follows after Spade
* Slasher shakes his head obviously in disgust, he turns around and makes his way back towards the shuttle.
* `Kane nods and follows slasher.
<Warren`> 6* As Kane and Slasher enter the ship, most of it's covered in frozen ice, depsite the wind no longer hitting them
* Xanatos`Durran keeps a bit of a distance from the animal. Firing only to keep it directed at him and not fox.
<Warren`> 6* Fox arrives at the ship.
<Warren`> 6* The creature falls over after a while.
* Ariel moves towards the beacon, more careful of her footing this time
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> *looks for door controls*
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and holsters his pistols, going toward the ship.
* Slasher hops down inside, slipping slightly, he moves to the back towards the hoverbeds.
* `Kane tries to give as much assistance as he can./
<Warren`> 6* The hoverbeds are all functional.
* Slasher tosses the hoverbeds upto Kane, he then crouches and leaps up and pulls himself out
<Warren`> 6* They all arrive at the ship as Warren and Spade lead some of the survivors out. 9 crew members can walk, while the rest are severely injured.
<Warren`> <Katrina> Who has?
* `Kane catches it and then moves to the side. Returning to Warren and Spade.
* Slasher follows behind Kane, keeping close
<Xanatos`Durran> We should start moving those that can walk back to the shuttle.
<Xanatos`Durran> We need to be careful, I already encountered a large bear/tiger thing. I'm not sure what it was really.
<Warren`> Right. Durran, Fox, Kane, and Spade, you four will lead those who can back to the shuttle. Help them walk on the snow.
* Warren` glances at Ariel and Slasher.
* Slasher looks at Warren.
<Warren`> There's six left. We each need to push two hover beds.
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> Right.
* Warren` begins to lay the wounded onto hover beds.
<Seraphna> "Warren..."
<Warren`> <Katrina> What about Warren?
* Xanatos`Durran begins to help escort the survivors back to the shuttle, Kane is helping as well.
* Ariel looks to the others, "Be careful. The ground is less than stable in some places."
* Warren` glances at his datapad
<Warren`> Damn. We've taken 11 minutes.
<Warren`> 6* Spade begins to help some of the survivors along by leaning them on his shoulders.
* Seraphna hands her the camera
<Seraphna> "Take a look."
<Slasher> Noted Ariel. *he grabs his two and starts to push them back towards the shuttle*
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> We'll have to hurry...
<Warren`> 6* Katrina looks at the photos in horror. "Warren did this? How can you tell?!"
<Xanatos`Durran> We need to speed up. We only have 4 minutes left!
* Xanatos`Durran quickens his pace along with his group of people.
* Warren` pushes his two beds along into the snow, following their shuttle's beacon
* `Kane keeps up the speed, a person trips but he helps them up and they run to catch back up with the group.
<Warren`> 6* The four of them arrive at the shuttle 3 minutes later, with Ariel, Warren, and Slasher pulling in behind
<Seraphna> "Anyone else think there's a need to search my room?"
<Slasher> Hurry now, We need to get them onboard now!
<Warren`> <Katrina> Would he do it this obviously?
* Xanatos`Durran begins to help them in. And jumps in quickly, moving over to the controls, waiting to push the button to turn that sheild back on.
<Seraphna> You tell me.
* Ariel immediately starts loading the beds
* Slasher loads his beds after Ariel does hers.
* `Kane helps a lady in and then jumps in as well.
<Warren`> <Katrina> I don't know. He's a suspicion person by nature, I can tell from his emotions, but this seems..
<Ariel> NRP: Assuming there's room for the beds, if not, move he people in
<`Kane> NRP: Kane did that before you'ins got there.
* Warren` moves the beds in after the others, getting himself in. He pulls down his goggles.
<Warren`> 6* The controls are barely responsive in the shuttle.
* Warren` closes the hatch.
* Slasher drops in quickly
<Warren`> NRP: After Slasher.
* Xanatos`Durran turns the shield on. And preps the shuttle for takeoff.
<Slasher> NRP: I was first on mine so.
<Warren`> 6* The shield begins to eat away at the fuel.
<Seraphna> It sure wasn't a robber.
<Warren`> <Katrina> Granted.
<Xanatos`Durran> Buckle up! *Xanatos doesn't spare time and just hits the thrusters, aiming to get out of this atmosphere as soon as mpossible.
<Warren`> 6* Spade pats Ariel on the shoulder. "Wonderful job."
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: no m.
<Slasher> NRP: As soon as impossible?! Dear god
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle jerks into the air, the snow on it melting from the thrusters, then melting instantly around them. But they escape somehow.
<Warren`> NRP: Er, then freezing instantly.
<Warren`> 6* As the shuttle lifts off, a giant ball of ice falls from the sky toward the shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran exhales finally and glances back. He looks at his fuel and then the distance too the starship.
* Xanatos`Durran curses again and jerks the shuttle to the left.
* Warren` leans against the wall as the shuttle jerks
<Warren`> Ungh!
<Warren`> 6* Spade keeps his balance perfectly as he checks on the wounded.
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> *almost hits the side*
<Red_Fox> NRP: Oh. Don't need aliases x.x
<Warren`> 6* The fuel sign begins to flash warning lights as they exit the atmosphere.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not sure we will be able to make it back to the ship....
<Warren`> Try anyway. We'll comm. then if we run out.
<Xanatos`Durran> I could make a quick thrust and then let inertia carry us closer.
<Warren`> These people need medical attention
* Slasher pulls off his mask and takes in a deep breath
<Warren`> Speed is of the essence.
<Warren`> 6* The survivors huddle together, cold and mumbling.
* Ariel eyes Spade as he checks on the wounded
<Xanatos`Durran> Alright. *takes the shuttle as far as he can get it*
<Warren`> 6* The shuttle, somehow, arrives in the hanger with another minute of fuel left to spare. Warren contacts Peacemaker to get her team down to help the survivors.
<Warren`> 6* Kat glances at the comm. as Warren makes the request for Peacemaker.
<Seraphna> "I'
<Seraphna> "I'll save this for later."
<Red_Fox> <Peacemaker> *gets her team together, and heads down*
* Xanatos`Durran sighs as he takes off the thermal suit. And places it over his chair.
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> *eyes Sera*
<Red_Fox> NRP: Ooops x.x
* Warren` opens the shuttle ramp and walks down, pulling the coat off and tosses it on the floor. Spade walks out, helping some of the survivors to Peacemaker's team.
* `Kane keeps with the survivors, trying to help to the best of his ability.
* Slasher deactivates his thermal suit, pulling it off as he steps off the shuttle
* Red_Fox deactivates her thermal suit
* Ariel helps with transporting of the wounded.
* Red_Fox pauses, then helps too
* `Kane deactives his thermal suit as well.
* Warren` helps the others get the wounded to Peacemaker.
* Slasher pulls his suit off fully and takes in a deep breath as he catches his breath.
* Xanatos`Durran finally steps off the shuttle after he de-preps it. He glances around.
<Warren`> <Katrina> What will you do about this, Sera?
<Warren`> <Spade> You all did a fine job. 6He tells the team as Peacemaker's team helps the wounded now.
* Seraphna heads for Spade
<Seraphna> *ELayne is instantly in the hangar covering the dramatic tale of how Spade bravely saves the wounded
* Xanatos`Durran takes it upon himself to leave, heading strait for Katrina's he knocks on the door, ever so gently.
<Warren`> 6* Katrina sits at her desk, a lot on her mind now. She glances up. "Come in."
* Xanatos`Durran steps in, but instantly stops. "You alright?"
<Warren`> <Spade> It almost makes you wonder if these people weren't meant for some other job. 6He says to one of the camera people as he eyes the team proudly at their successful rescue mission
<Red_Fox> <Red_Fox> ...
<Red_Fox> NRP: GAH
<Warren`> <Katrina> I just heard something disturbing.
* Xanatos`Durran takes a seat now, "Whats going on now?"
<Slasher> NRP: Katrina does such a good job at confidentiality.
<Warren`> <Katrina> I really can't speak about it until it becomes public.
<Warren`> NRP: Ass!
* Slasher looks over at Spade as he speaks to the camera crew, he shakes his head in disgust.
<Xanatos`Durran> ....Ahh. Confidential....
<Warren`> <Katrina> How'd the rescue mission go?
<Xanatos`Durran> Well hell. I ummm. Well I don't see any cocoa.
<Warren`> 6* Katrina blinks, then slides her cat mug to him. "Sorry, I got lost in the talk. I.. sorry."
<Warren`> 6* Spade turns as Sera arrives.
* Warren` stands there, eyeing Spade and Sera, then begins to walk out of the hanger.
* Slasher quickly turns walking to catch upto Warren.
<Seraphna> "Will... we need to talk."
* Xanatos`Durran frowns. "I was just joking......"
<Slasher> Sir...
<Warren`> 6* Spade nods. "Of course." 6He pulls her aside to the other end of the hanger where there's too much noise to be heard.
<Warren`> <Katrina> Oh? Oh! Of course you were. 6She laughs, but it's not as deep as normal.
* Warren` turns to Slasher
<Warren`> Yes?
<Seraphna> "He tore apart me room."
<Slasher> Don't you think it's odd that Spade brought the News Crew here...And this happened?
<Warren`> <Spade> Who?
<Seraphna> "Warren."
<Xanatos`Durran> This must really be serious...
<Slasher> NRP: The Panty Gnome!
<Warren`> Oh, I think it's fully aware of what he's doing.
<Warren`> <Spade> Warren did what to your room?
<Warren`> NRP: He, not it
* Seraphna shows him the camera.
<Warren`> 6* Spade looks at the camera, showing little emotion except a hint of anger. He looks at Sera. "He won't get away with this." 6He takes her by the arm and leads her toward the spot Slasher and Warren are located. "Lt. Winters, I need you to come with me to the security room."
<Warren`> <Katrina> Yeah, it is.
<Xanatos`Durran> Would you like to be alone? Or can I just sit here with you?
<Slasher> Yes, Sir...*he looks at Warren with a worried look on his face and he follows behind*
<Warren`> <Katrina> A little advice. You might want to be around Warren or Spade right now. Quickly.
* Warren` pauses, then begins to follow after them as Spade leads them all to the security room
<Xanatos`Durran> ....Damnit. *he stands and takes off running, towards the Security room.
<Warren`> <Spade> This is an outrage and abuse of this department. 6He says coldly as he steps into the room, gesturing at the security system. "Lt. Winters, isn't it true the head of security has a master card to unlock any door in this station and that it keeps a log of when it was used?"
<Slasher> This is true, yes.
* Warren` stands there, as if he sees something bad coming and he can't figure it out
<Warren`> <Spade> I want to know if that card was used on Lt. Cran's door today.
* Xanatos`Durran slides up to Warren. He looks around. (We in the hall or the room?)
<Warren`> NRP: Room
<Warren`> 6* Katrina leans back in her seat.
* Slasher walks over to his console and begins typing on it, bringing up the log record for the Master Card use*
<Warren`> 6* There is indeed a record of it being used today during the period Sera was in the hanger.
<Warren`> <Spade> Was there a formal security search conducted? Are there RECORDS of such a search being conducted? 6He whirls on Warren. "Is there ANYTHING? Did anyone participate in this search with Captain Carmichael?"
<Warren`> I did no such search. 6He says angerily, stepping forward.
<Slasher> I was asleep in my room during that time frame.
<Warren`> <Spade> You DENY searching Lt. Cran's room?
<Xanatos`Durran> Actually sir, I was making my rounds, and I don't remember hearing anything from Ms. Cran's room....
<Warren`> I didn't search anyone's room illegally or legally. This is a scam by you two to get those reports you two filed pushed into having me removed!
<Warren`> <Spade> I'm sure the Captain here is smart enough to know where his men will be and how to be quiet enough to avoid them.
<Xanatos`Durran> Will you two please calm down for a minute.
<Xanatos`Durran> Rash actions lead to rash decisions.
<Warren`> 6* Spade leans in close, as if he can feel Warren's anger boiling. "You've just made your last mistake, Captain. You will be lucky to get a job commanding a pencil sharpener."
<Warren`> 6* Spade leans back, adjusting his uniform, then leaves with Seraphna.
* Warren` stands there, his teeth clenched tightly together as he watches Spade leave the room.
* Seraphna sticks with Spade, not even looking back
* Xanatos`Durran moves over to Slasher. "Am I mistaken or shouldn't we have a video file of Ms. Cran's room?
<Warren`> There's no cameras inside rooms.
<Seraphna> NRP: PERVS!
<Warren`> NRP: *Warren watches Spade/Sera having sex*
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin. "Well, there goes that genius idea...what now?"
* Warren` turns, marching to his desk and sitting down. He seems entirely stoic now.
<Slasher> At the most there might be on in the hallway that uses a panaramic view. If someone knows the timing it can be avoided.
<Xanatos`Durran> Of course. I hate to admit it. But Spade is succeeding in his mission completely....he is tearing this place apart.
* Slasher shakes his head and he sits down, closing out the logs
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "How many Master Keys are there?"
* Warren` taps his computer and brings up the video feed of the bridge. Spade was on the bridge the entire time the alleged break in occurred. He frowns.
* Seraphna hugs onto Spade, "Will... do you think this is ever gonna settle down?"
<Slasher> 1.
<Warren`> <Spade> Only after we remove Carmichael. He is becoming a threat to the people of this team.

<Xanatos`Durran> Warren. Where were you whenever this happened?
<Warren`> I was in my room.
<Slasher> Spade could've hired any lackey on board to mess up her room.
<Xanatos`Durran> Lets see if we can get a feed of you leaving your room and a certain time.
<Warren`> I left my room well after the time the card entry was made.
<Warren`> And since the camera isn't always focused on my room, they could say I slipped out and back in unnoticed.
<Warren`> I'm going to go rest. 6He says suddenly, standing up and leaving the two alone.
* Xanatos`Durran looks over at Slasher. "What do you think?"
* Seraphna nods softly and hugs him gently, "He ruined your book..."
<Slasher> I honestly think this is out of our hands right now. Spade has way too much on Warren right now, what with all the outbursts and the blatant admittance of hatred for them.
<Warren`> <Spade> I'll buy you a new one. 6He wraps an arm around her. "You can stay in my room tonight if you want - until we get back to the station."
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "I need to talk to Katrina. Perhaps she can help me sort through this...I'm not going to give up on Warren."
<Slasher> I dont' want to give up either, it's just right now...I've got nothign. Warren's burried himself too deep.
<Seraphna> "I'd like that... I'd feel a lot safer..."
<Warren`> <Spade> Then consider it done.
<Seraphna> "Who knows when that creep could try to get in my room again..."
<Xanatos`Durran> I understand. *he moves out of the room and makes his way for katrina's. Softly tapping on her door, in his own unique knock.
<Warren`> <Katrina> Come in. 6She seems to have switched coffee for something stronger - like alcohol.
* Xanatos`Durran steps in and frowns at her, having a seat.
<Warren`> <Katrina> No need for a lecture right now. How did it turn out?
<Warren`> <Spade> It won't happen again. I promise you
<Xanatos`Durran> Uhhh well. I doubt Warren will be in PAx for much longer.
<Warren`> <Katrina> I figured.
* Seraphna hugs onto him tightly and kisses his cheek
<Xanatos`Durran> It wasn't him...
<Warren`> <Katrina> If I could have gotten an emotional reading on him at the time, I might have gotten the feel if he was guilty, lying, or innocent. But now that he knows, he'll have too much time to barricade himself behind emotional guards
<Xanatos`Durran> Spade wouldn't have trusted you, he would have dismissed your opinion as something stupid or something like that.
* Slasher leans against his desk, rubbing his face
<Warren`> <Katrina> I don't see Vennie's dream anymore in this station or crew.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and leans his head back, looking up at the ceiling. "There has to be something we can do..."
<Warren`> <Katrina> Get Seraphna to drop complaints and not do anything against Warren, perhaps. Spade might file something, but it'll be her feelings the court will look into
<Xanatos`Durran> The only person Sera truly trusts is Spade, or at least he is manipulating her to believe so.
<Warren`> <Katrina> Then get Warren to transfer. Maybe Spade will drop the vendetta.
<Xanatos`Durran> I'll talk to him. But you know Warren wont back down..
<Warren`> <Katrina> Spade will rip his career into shreds if he can. His case study shows him capable of it and successful at it.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, "I know....I know..."
* Xanatos`Durran leans up, "What will you do if this place is disbanded
<Xanatos`Durran> ?"
<Warren`> <Katrina> Find some other group who needs counseling
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "I'm sure their out there too...'
<Warren`> <Katrina> I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help the Captain. I can tell he's your friend.
* Xanatos`Durran stands. "I'm going to go do whatever I can...its the least I can do." He steps out.
