* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070220.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.6.1
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
* Alicia is now known as Michiru
<DeathStar> 6* John is on the bridge, getting ready to have the controls accept Cassandra's voice command alone for actions, so that power cannot be hacked away by their mysterious hacker. The proceedure will be done in 20 mins.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, in uniform, is in the hanger, making sure that the last of the repairs have gone smoothly. She studies her charts quietly.
* Xanatos walks along the halls, arms behind his back as he makes his rounds.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *stands idly on the bridge, doing her job with security*
<DeathStar> 6* John glances over his shoulder at Setsuna. "Wow, you're on duty without being dragged out of bed?"
* Cassandra` steps on to the bridge.
* Xanatos is just walking down a hallway, not doing rounds since he isn't security.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *shrugs at John, then nods to Cass with a smile*
<Cassandra`> Status?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is in the bar, face down on the bar.
<DeathStar> <John> We'll be ready for you to input your voice in 19 minutes, sir.
* Xanatos swings into the mess hall and moves over to get some food. He pays for it and moves over to a table to sit down and enjoy his meal.
* Seraphna lays back in bed, thinking to herself in the silence.
<Cassandra`> Carry on. *takes her seat*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the medical room, looking like a ghost with blood shot eyes. He wears his black trench coat as he leans on his cane.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Setsuna, then CAssandra, then back at his work.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *looks up, having dozed off, apparently*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Come for my radiatiation treatment shot. 6He notes dryly.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *nods, and goes to give Warren it*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls off his coat, tossing it down on a chair and takes a seat.
* Xanatos eats his food quietly.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *wanders over to stand by Cass' chair, feigning cheerfulness* "So how does the new posistion feel?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *gives Warren the shot* "So, how are you holding up?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *looks over to Setsuna, quietly, from her position*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm not dead. Though I wouldn't mind it. 6He grabs his unmarked bottle of pills andp ops one into his hand, throwing it back.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *eyes the pills* "What are those?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nasua pills so I'll quit throwing up. 6He grips the cane.
<Cassandra`> Warren wore a dent in the seat of this chair.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Ah. Very good."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want you to do an experimental surgery. 6He says suddenly, his bloodshot eyes turning to face Peace.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hope you're not going to try to fill that too."
* Ariel has been spending most of her time in her room.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Kyouki.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "What type?"
* Xanatos finishes his meal and stands, moving over to toss away his trash. He dusts his hands off and then steps back out into the hall. He glances to the left, then turns to walk right, moving along the hallway.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Cassandra and Setsuna, then at Kyouki, shrugging
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want you to remove the pain receptors from my spinal cord and legs. 6He says evenly. "And yes, I know the risks, especially with radiation treatment."
<Cassandra`> Fortunately, I can't chunk up.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *smirks a little* "Well... I suppose there is that..."
* Xanatos begins to whistle lightly as he moves along, his head moving from left to right as he glances from door to door.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *seems reluctant* "... is this an order?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Wasn't aware I had a rank.
<Ariel> 6* An energy blast flies out the door from the training room, close enough to singe Xan's hair
<Ariel> Em> "EEEEP! I'm sorry!"
* Xanatos jumps forward, falling onto his face, he slowly pulls himself up and glances in at Em. "Whoa, that was a close one." He says, glancing at his singed hair.
* Seraphna sighs and rolls over on her pillow, eyes closed.
<Ariel> Em> "...I guess I forgot to lock the door while in use. Isn't that supposed to be automatic...?"
* Xanatos tilts his head and glances at the door. "Uhhh, I don't think so. You lock it at that panel there." He points to the panel.
<DeathStar> <John> 10 mins, sir.,
* Cassandra` nods.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... I'm not sure."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes her checks, then moves into the hallway, deciding to take advantage of her break
* Xanatos glances over at Em and narrows his eyes for a second. "You look familier..." He pauses and then rubs his chin. "You're...Hotaru's friend, right?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm in pain. I can't think. I can't sleep. And unless you want me to take bottles of pills for the rest of my life, you'll do it. I'll sign the waver.
<Ariel> Em> "Hmm? Me? Well, I suppose friend is one way to put it."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... alright."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then lets do it before you change your mind. 6He nods at the surgery room.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Alright." *heads in*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren strains to stand, taking deep, labored breaths, then works his way after Peace.
<Xanatos> Wait...are you something more?
<Ariel> Em> "Of course!" *she pauses* "No! Wait! Not like that!" *throws a training drone at Xan*
<DeathStar> 6* John listens so only Kyouki can hear him. "Don't you find it creepy that Setsuna is on the bridge?"
<Ariel> Em> "...pervert."
<DeathStar> (leans in)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis knocks on the door to Ariel's room.
<Xanatos> Hey...HEY! *jumps out of the way of the drone* I didn't mean...err. Sorry. *he rubs the back of his neck* You never know these days.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "That she's here? No. That she arrived without me noticing, yes."
<Ariel> "Come on."
<Ariel> NRP: *in
<DeathStar> <John> Do you notice anything?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps inside, glancing around. She puts her hands behind her back.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I can't read her mind either.. I'd be worried, except I have to deal with you."
<Ariel> Em> *scowls*
<DeathStar> <John> You can't?
<DeathStar> 6* John turns around to eye Setsuna now, peaking over Kyouki's seat to do it
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "No. Not a whisper."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Ariel.
* Seraphna gets up, getting dressed in civvies, fixing her hair a little.
<DeathStar> <John> Wow. Do you think she has a chip in her head?
<Xanatos> Sorry. Sorry. *he holds up his hands in peace* I'll just be leaving now. Enjoy your training. *he turns to step out of the training room*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to strip down. He pulls off his shirt, revealing a hand shaped scar on his chest.
* Ariel is sitting in a chair, listening to soft music, and reading a datapad. She looks rather weak at the moment. She smiles, "Hello, Erevis. What brings you here?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Wouldn't surprise me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I desired to check up on you. Are you -- feeling better? 6She asks, her tone softening.
<Ariel> Em> "PERVERT!"
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs one of Kyouki's belongings and tosses it over the chair at Setsuna, seeing if she reacts psionically.
* Michiru looks around for someone she knows, feeling lonely again
* Seraphna stops, considering what to do tonight.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *casually tilts her head to the side, letting the object go by*
<DeathStar> <John> Did you see that? She knew it without looking.
* Xanatos shakes his head, "Not my fault you made it sound weird." he grumbles, stepping out of the training room and moving back down the hallway.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *scans for psi activity, if that's possible, while that happens*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *doesn't show any sign of psi activity. She does sigh though*
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then nudges Kyouki. "Think of her naked and see if she reacts."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... she's either very powerful, or just very skilled."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... why do I have to do that?"
<DeathStar> <John> Because she can't read MY mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits on the operating table, laying back.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Sure it's not because you doing something like that wouldn't be unusual?"
<DeathStar> <John> Ungh. Do I need to make it an order to think of Setsuna naked?
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Well, here goes..." *gives Warren the anasthetic, then begins the op*
<Cassandra`> Ahem.
<DeathStar> <John> S-Sir?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *sighs* "No.. I'll do it." *thinks of Setsuna naked, almost boredly*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances around, as if waiting for an answer, though chances are she knows it.
<Cassandra`> What are you doing...?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *glances over to Cass a moment, as she interrupts* .oO(John's going to get it now... wait, those can't be real...)
<Ariel> "I am... feeling a little better." *soft smile* "I suppose I couldn't hope for a total recovery so soon."
<DeathStar> <John> WEll, --oh, look, it's time sir. 6He hits a button. "Please come over here and talk into the computer. This will program your voice into it."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *sighs, thinking out loud* .oO(Well, that was a waste of time.)
<Ariel> Setsuna> *gives Cass a look*
* Cassandra` stands and moves over to the console.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She plays with a strand of hair as she thinks of her words. "You shouldn't have taken such a risk. You could have died. If your strength does not return..."
<DeathStar> 6* John stands perfectly at attention, his face neutral.
* Ariel shakes her head. "If I didn't take that risk, I would be short one friend now."
<Cassandra`> Just speak into it then?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And if you become ill later, then everyone would be short you.
<DeathStar> <John> Yep. And speak your phrase code that you want when you need to lock out all control of the ship. It'll memorize your voice and code.
<DeathStar> 6* John hits a button, signaling for silence on the bridge.
* Cassandra` nods.
* Michiru yawns, searching for Em or Erevis. John is probably busy at work
* Xanatos moves down into the civillian sector of the ship, making his way into the bar. He moves over to the counter, sitting down onto a stool. "Hey Terra."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores on Terra's bar
<Cassandra`> Override code Alpha Alpha Echo Papa Epsilon.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Hey."
* Seraphna steps out into the halls, wandering.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Voice Authorization Alpha Alpha Echo Papa Epsilon acknowledged. Locking out ship's controls. 6The entire ship's computer network is locked out.
<DeathStar> <John> Pretty damn neat, huh?
<Michiru> <Terra> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts awake, then motions for another drink on reflex.
* Xanatos shrugs. "Nothing much really. What about you." he glances over at Cheryl. "Been having any trouble lately?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Yeah, but aren't we vulnerable like this?"
<DeathStar> <John> Granted. But, all Cassandra has to do is repeat the code, and bam, back in. Now...
<Michiru> <Terra> *gives Cheryl a drink* "Me? I'm fine."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do I know you?
<Michiru> <Terra> "Terra. The bartender?"
<Cassandra`> Alpha Alpha Echo Papa Epsilon
<DeathStar> 6* John goes to hit the button so Cassandra can repeat it and regain control of the ship, when suddenly something hits the ship and everyone on the ship is knocked off their feet - before Cass can speka.
<Cassandra`> What was that?!
<Michiru> <Terra> "What the hell was that?"
<DeathStar> 6* As the two go to tlak, they would find: No voices.
* Michiru blinks
* Seraphna gasps silently and hits a wall, stumbling.
<Michiru> <Terra> "..." .oO(Bloody hell.)
* Xanatos stumbles and holds onto the the bar. "I have no idea."
<DeathStar> 6* John hits the ground with a silent grunt
<Seraphna> "What the hell!"
<DeathStar> 6* Xan, also, can't speak
* Seraphna blinks
<Seraphna> "What... the hell...?"
* Seraphna touches her throat.
<DeathStar> 6* John goes to say something, when nothing happens. He pauses.
* Xanatos arches a brow and goes to say something else. He frowns and looks at the other two, then points to his throat.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks annoyed*
<Seraphna> "What the hell is goig on here... my throat healed...?"
* Seraphna looks around.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *stares*
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then grabs his throat.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "..."
* Ariel looks at Erevis very seriously.
* Xanatos frowns and attempts to spell out beer to Terra.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, being operated on, is jolted by the shockwave, and poor Peace is in trouble, it seems
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands Xan a beer, looking very annoyed*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just stares at Xanatos spelling out things
<DeathStar> 6* John turns to Kyouki, gesturing at his throat.
<Ariel> Em> <Hotaru! What's going on?!>
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *struggles to rectify the error*
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <I don't know. I lost my voice.>
* Xanatos smiles and takes a drink of his beer, he glances at Cheryl. Then shrugs to her.
<Seraphna> <Hey sis? I can talk!>
<Ariel> Em> <You too?>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow. She goes to say something when nothing happens.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <... I can't. Yay.>
<Seraphna> <...What?>
<Seraphna> <Freaky...>
* Cassandra` looks out the viewports.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs and throws back her drink, motioning for another.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Sudden bout of muteness.>
<DeathStar> 6* There is nothing out there. The guy at the scanners looks baffled, but cannot tell what happened.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks to Cass for direction*
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands out drinks*
<Seraphna> <Sudden bout of not-so-muteness...>
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at the bridge, then makes a talk motion with his hands, waiting
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *nods to John*
* Seraphna taps her comms, "Ummm... hello?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *shakes her head at the talk motion*
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Cassandra.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *attempts to growl at the comm*
* Xanatos finishes his drink and props his head up on his chin, a frown on his face.
<Seraphna> "What happened? Anyone?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *taps something into her datapad*
* Cassandra` walks to her chair, picks up her datapad and writes out: Are we still locked out?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *sends a message to Sera of "What have you done?"*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ariel very seriously, looking completely baffled.
* Ariel stands, and starts to the bridge without saying a word.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at the message, then at the computer. He frowns. They are indeed. He nods at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to follow Ariel.
* Seraphna looks at the message and sighs, "I was just resting in my room, stepped outside and the ship rocked."
<DeathStar> 6* As Ariel goes out, the door doesn't open - lcked out
* Cassandra` types out more: Anything we can do to get around it?
<Seraphna> "Well what were you messing with?"
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his datapad, then holds it up. "Unless you can talk, babe, we aren't leaving the bridge. We're locked in."
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks relieved for some reason, passes out drinks, and takes one herself*
* Cassandra` tries speaking...
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra has no voice.
* Cassandra` frowns and then claps her hands...
<Michiru> <Terra> *winces a little, but looks happy*
* Xanatos tilts his head, eyeing Terra. "..." he takes another beer from her and takes a swig.
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone on the bridge turns to look.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks, enjoying the new silence.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the door, then attempts an override code. It's ignored.
<Michiru> <Terra> *shrugs, unable to speak*
* Michiru continues looking for a familiar face
* Cassandra` types on to her pad: There is still ambient sound, but even my voice synth isn't working. What about the rest of the ship?
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *eyes her datapad. Is the message there, too?*
<DeathStar> 6* John types: I cna't tell you. Scanners and monitors and everything is locked out
<Seraphna> "Seems like an odd side effect of whatever you were doing... what can I do to help?"
* Cassandra` types on to her pad: Any internal comms?
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis glances at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves over to the internal comm on the bridge, and hits the button. He pauses, then eyes Cassandra. He nods.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *types out "Don't know. I lost my voice. Em too. Seraphna seems to have GAINED one, though."*
* Michiru heads over to Sera, looking quizzically at her
* Cassandra` then types out: Morse code.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks blank.
* Ariel looks to Erevis, then looks to the door. She runs her hand down until she can find where the valve release should be, and looks to Erevis again.
* Seraphna looks back at her
* Michiru points to her throat
<Seraphna> "I didn't have anything to do with it hun, just as baffeled..."
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at anyone else to see if they know morse code.
* Cassandra` sighs and moves to the comm, tapping out a message on the comm system: To all hands -STOP- Respond to bridge if you can speak -STOP- Investigate cause -STOP-
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *shakes her head at John, then starts sketching while waiting*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, closing her eyes to focus.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes her sketching
<Ariel> Em> <...what was that over the comm, Hotaru?>
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn throws up his hands.
* Seraphna teps her comms again. "Cassandra... should I get to the bridge?"
<Michiru> * It's an abstract piece. Almost like she's trying to sketch the concept of silence.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares at Kyouki, then begins to make circle motions with his finger at his temple.
* Cassandra` eyes John as Sera pipes in on the comm.
<DeathStar> 6* John turns back around as he hears a voice, raising a brow
<Seraphna> "Hello?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions for a third drink.
<Michiru> <Terra> "..." *taps her fingers on the desk. Anyone who knows morse code would recognise it. D-A-M-N I-T*
<Seraphna> "Whatever you guys did I can talk."
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands Cheryl a drink*
* Xanatos smirks at Teraa and holds a thumbs up.
* Cassandra` taps out a new message: Everyone lost voice -STOP- Controls locked out -STOP-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps back: "T-H-A-T. I-S. A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G
<DeathStar> 6* The door value begins to make noises as Erevis focuses, biting down on her teeth
<Seraphna> "What were you guys doing?"
* Seraphna starts heading to the bridge.
* Michiru looks to Sera, as if she has something she wants to say, but no way to do so... then follows Sera
<DeathStar> 6* John types: I find it scary that Sera can talk
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *types "You too?"*
<DeathStar> 6* John nods.
* Cassandra` taps out a new message: Impact on ship -STOP- Securing system with voice lockdown override -STOP-
<DeathStar> 6* The door is unlocked a few inches. Erevis opens her eyes, letting out her breath
<Seraphna> "Oh god damnit... getting to thebridge..."
<DeathStar> 6* As Sera goes, she would find - the lift inoperatable.
* Ariel rests a hand on Erevis' shoulder, and trys to push the door open. Would be easier, without the pressure holding it shut.
* Seraphna opens a grate near the lift, one of the access channels.
* Michiru slumps her shoulders. No way she can get up that way
<DeathStar> 6* Cheyl throws back her drink, then motions for another.
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands another out*
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel easily slides the door to the side.
* Michiru sighs, probably noiselessly
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Xanatos.
<Michiru> <Terra> *sighs, even*
<DeathStar> 6* John paces noisely on the bridge.
* Xanatos glances up, looking at Cheryl. He taps out. "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just throws back her drink, apparantly not interested in tapping out a conversation
* Seraphna starts using every back ways she has of getting to the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* As Sera starts, the computer suddenly speaks. "Unathorized intruder." 6A shock hits Sera, sending her flying back down the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* He then taps his foot, making even more noise.
<Michiru> <Terra> *taps out "There is no way I'm spending that much time coding either"*
* Xanatos glances over at Terra and pulls up his datapad he writes out, "Any word on getting a security job?" he lifts it up to show her.
* Seraphna grunts and hits the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slaps her hand down, getting the bar's attention. She tosses down a 100 gil, then props her elbow on the bar, indicating a challenge to anyone interested. Everyone looks way.
<Michiru> <Terra> *in a flat, nondescript, voice* "...you consume too much alcohol."
* Seraphna taps her comms again, "Bad news."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, eyeing Terra.
* Xanatos tilts his head, eyeing Terra as well.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks innocent*
<Seraphna> "I think the ship is being hijacked."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head, figuring it's the alcohol. She waits for someone to take her challenge.
* Xanatos writes out on the datapad and shows her again, "I meant for you. Any word on you getting that job?"
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow.
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn types: Or maybe it's the fact we locked down the system, eh?
<DeathStar> 6* John holds it at Cass
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along the hallway with Ariel.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *types "Probably."*
* Michiru helps Sera up
<Michiru> <Terra> *pauses a moment, then heads out of the bar*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches Terra leave, then shrugs. She grabs a bottle of alcohol and waits for a challenger.
* Cassandra` nods.
* Xanatos turns his head to watch Terra leave. He then glances at Cheryl and tosses down the 100 gil.
* Cassandra` then taps out: We locked down system -STOP- New security measure -STOP-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Xanatos, examining his muscles. She then nods.
* Ariel looks tired and distressed, as she proceeds towards the bridge. She isn't sure what she'll be able to do, even if she gets there.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Do not touch the beverages without paying."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis offers Ariel her shoulder to lean on.
<Michiru> <Terra> *then leaves for the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to look again, wondering how Terra is talking.
* Xanatos scratches his head as he glances to Terra, he looks at Cheryl and just shrugs, holding up his own arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Terra makes it as far as the Civilian Quarter elvevator
<DeathStar> 6* John stares at Setsuna's boobs, since she can't say anything about it
* Ariel offers a reassuring smile and continues.
<DeathStar> 6* Cehryl grips her hand around Xanatos, giving him a pitying look.
<Michiru> <Terra> *eyes the elevator, trying to figure out how to get it to work*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *punches John in the gut*
* Seraphna hmmms and grabs her datapad, trying to jack into the system.
<DeathStar> 6* John makes a soundless gasp, then falls over.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *was never a girl of many words in the first point*
* Xanatos does a countdown with his fingers: 3....2....1. He pushes hard on Cheryl's arm trying to take her arm down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly slams Xanatos' hand against the bar, then takes her 200 gil.
<DeathStar> 6* The system begins act like it's ready to fry Sera again
* Xanatos holds his arm in pain and shakes his head, he taps. "Ouch."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel and Erevis reach the diplomatic quarter elevators. Erevis glances at Ariel.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks over at Ariel and Erevis*
<DeathStar> NRP: Terra's in the civilian quarter.
<Michiru> NRP: Oh yeah, ignore that then
<Michiru> <Terra> *puts her hand over the console*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts down 400, waiting to see
<DeathStar> 6* The console appears to be locked out
<DeathStar> 6* John strains to breathe
<Michiru> <Terra> *winces, keeping her hand there*
* Xanatos silently grumbles as he lays down his money for his beers and stands to walk out and move about the civillian quarters.
* Ariel frowns at the elevator door, but it won't be intimidated
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, as if amused, begins to grip the doors psionically, straining
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warning, intruder detected in Civilian Quarter Level 5. Preparing counter measures.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks up at that, then at Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* The console attempts to zap Terra.
<Michiru> <Terra> *winces, taking her hand away, leaving blood on the console*
* Xanatos moves outside of the bar and glances around, curious to see if the lack of speaking has hampered the civillian's average day.
<DeathStar> 6* The civilians do not give Xan the satisfaction of being described.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis manages to rip the doors open an inch, with considerable strain on herself.
* Cassandra` taps out a message: Do not mess with the consoles -STOP-
* Seraphna sighs and works on dismantling a console and it's security systems.
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn types into his datapad: Maybe we should put a virus into the computer?
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna is zapped yet again
* Xanatos snaps his fingers and moves over beside Terra. He glances at her and then at Terra. "That wasn't smart." He holds up a datapad. Smiling at her.
<Michiru> <Terra> "..."
* Seraphna taps her comm, "I've got nothing... I can't get access and I'm stuck in residential."
* Xanatos taps up another message. "What do you plan on doing?"
* Cassandra` types into her datapad: Do it.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Inquiry. Do you have a better idea?"
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn types back: I don't have a virus . Anyone got a virus?
<Michiru> NRP: <Kyouki> I have the maverick virus...
<DeathStar> NRP: <John> Let me guess, you call it Sigma?
* Xanatos tilts his, eyeing Terra. "Dunno." says his datapad as he holds it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps up behind them, her arms crossed.
<Michiru> <Terra> *sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves it another few inches, kneeling down on one leg as she feels ill.
* Michiru watches helplessly
* Ariel moves to help Erevis, now that she can fit her fingers in
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors battle Ariel, but they're just doors. Sigh.
<DeathStar> 6* Within moments, Ariel wrestles them apart, and reveals the elevator shaft.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points at the door, then smacks her fist into her open palm.
* Xanatos crosses his arms and tilts his head at Terra.
<Michiru> <Terra> *eyes Cheryl uncertainly, as if wondering if she can*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, brushing back a strand of hair, then glances up the elevator shaft.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Xan
* Xanatos motions for Cheryl to go ahead.
<Michiru> <Terra> *nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks offended, motioning ta him
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl indicates he's the one with the dick
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, typing into the datapad: Cass, see if Sera can put a virus into the system
* Cassandra` taps out a message: S-E-R-A Try a virus into the security system -STOP-
* Xanatos holds up a datapad. "You're clearly stronger." he shows her with a smile.
<Michiru> <Terra> *moves her hand to the door for a moment, then pulls it away*
<DeathStar> 6* Chryl rolls her eyes, then activates her energy whip
<Michiru> <Terra> *holds her bloodied hand*
* Seraphna starts searching for an easier access panel.
* Xanatos eyes Cheryl uncertainly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him back, then motions for him to try if he would like
<Michiru> * There seems to be some damage to the door. Maybe Terra's a LOT stronger than she lets on?
<DeathStar> 6* She then eyes the damaged door.
* Xanatos eyes the door and then looks at Terra. He moves over to open it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door laughs in Xan's face. Weak human
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grabs one of the elevator cables, and swings out.
<Michiru> <Terra> *shrugs, as if it was nothing*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates her whip, then moves to open, gripping the hole Terra made.
<Michiru> <Terra> *still nurses her hand, though. Maybe she broke something*
* Xanatos looks at Cheryl and steps back.
* Seraphna presumably finds a less secure panel and tries to hook up a datapd to it.
* Ariel climps up the shaft. Not as carefully as she should in her condition.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces, not enjoying the cables cutting into her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains.
<Michiru> <Terra> *waits quietly*
* Seraphna speaks while she works, "SO kid..."
* Michiru looks to Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the doors a foot, then nods for the two to move.
<Michiru> <Terra> *moves*
* Xanatos slides inside, moving to get a hatch open so they can climb up.
<DeathStar> 6* John leans on the wall. He eyes Cassandra's bobs.
<DeathStar> *boob
<Seraphna> "You know sign language, you can talk back."
<Michiru> "..."
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks at John with eyes of daggers*
<DeathStar> 6* John, feeling nature, raises a brow.
<DeathStar> (danger)
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *also eyes John*
<Seraphna> "Am I still mute then too?"
* Michiru shakes her head
* Cassandra` eyes John...
* Seraphna keeps working dilegently, trying to get access to upload.
<DeathStar> 6* Cehryl lets them through, then dives forward and grabs the cable.
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks, looking innocent. He motions at the comm, indicating he was looking there.
<Michiru> <Terra> *heads inside*
<Seraphna> "You mean I heal?"
* Michiru doesn't seem to know how to answer
<Seraphna> "Then I'm still mute in the future."
* Xanatos rips some cloth from his shirt and wraps it around his hands, he moves to grab the cable, and then begins climbing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Ariel reach the closed bridge doors. Erevis seems tired at this point.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs, apparantly unphased by cables.
<Seraphna> "Kids normally don't pick up a language for no reason..."
* Seraphna taps away still
<Michiru> <Terra> *climbs*
* Michiru looks uncertain for some reason
* Ariel knocks on the door as she reaches the top
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn turns to eye the door.,
<Seraphna> "Lemme guess, too much of a hint to the question on everyone's mind?"
* Michiru nods
<Seraphna> "Well I'll make sure to teach baby you again, so we can exchange these pleasentries."
<DeathStar> 6* John then eyes Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks down at Ariel, wondering why she knocked.
* Cassandra` eyes back...
* Seraphna keeps typing
<DeathStar> 6* John motions at the door.
<Seraphna> "I figure you'll be able to talk again soon, if whatever it takes to fix this revereses you guys... it likely will me."
<DeathStar> 6* The computer, a little slow this time, realizes what she's doing, and attempts to zap her.
* Seraphna pulls the cord in time and sighs.
* Michiru nods uncertainly
<Seraphna> "Whatever, I've gotten used to it..."
* Cassandra` moves over to the door and sees if she can get enough leverage to push/pull it open...
<Michiru> <Terra> *keeps climbing, getting a little tired*
<DeathStar> 6* The door does battle with Cass. To open it, she'll need to put some strength into it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whistles a tune
<Michiru> <Terra> *hums The Great Escape*
<DeathStar> 6* The computer waits for Sera to try again
* Seraphna taps her comms again, "Having trouble getting in."
* Ariel tries to help from the other side
<DeathStar> 6* Together, Ariel and Cassandra open a door. Zelda music plays.
* Cassandra` uses all her cybernetically enough power!
* Ariel looks for the source of the weird tune.
* Xanatos glances at Terra and Cheryl. He just shakes his head, continuing his climb.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaps out, putting her hands in her pockets.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Erevis stiffly. The atmosphere cools considerablely.
* Ariel climgs out afterwards.
<Ariel> climbs*
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6Erevis doesnt look in his direction, just standing there with her hands in her pocket, looking considerably slacked.
* Michiru has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* As they climb, Xan could look up and see Terra's fine ass.
<DeathStar> 6* The access port taunts Sera.
* Xanatos just climbs, keeping his mind focused on climbing. Since it is a high distance.
* Seraphna sighs and tries head down teh corridor more.
* Michiru has joined #TAW
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Michiru
* Ariel looks to see who's gathered on the bridge. She looks... questioning.
<Seraphna> "So how are you enjoying a look into the past Michi?"
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, looking bitter.
* Michiru remains silent
<Michiru> <Terra> *accidently steps on Xan's hand. Hard* "Mind the location of your vision."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances down at the voice.
* Okie has joined #taw
* Xanatos slips his hand out of her way, wondering why she is acting crazy.
* Okie has left #taw
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *smiles at Erevis as she enters (belated response)*
<DeathStar> 6* John snorts.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *does a rude gesture at John*
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow
<Michiru> <Terra> *keeps climbing to the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the bridge, pulling herself in. She glances at everyone gathered, then at Ariel, a look of concern on her face.
* Ariel looks a little relieved to see Cheryl
<Michiru> <Terra> *arrives shortly after Cheryl, letting out a sigh of relief, looking tired, her hand bloody*
<DeathStar> 6* As Xan arrives, he falls back down the shaft. No one notices as he can't scream. Sadly, his fall is only ten feet
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow at the civilians arriving.
* Xanatos falls, struggling to catch himself again.
* Seraphna attempts another panel.
* Cassandra` types out: Who decided to have a party?
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks over the consoles*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at everyone, gleaming thoughts, her hands shoved into her jean pockets.
<DeathStar> NRP: Khaki. Uniform pockets.
<Michiru> <Terra> "What is the situation?"
* Xanatos moves to get onto the bridge floor, and move into the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *quietly reads thoughts*
<DeathStar> 6* John points at Terra's throat.
<Michiru> <Terra> *nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sticks close to Ariel, apparantly only there out of boredom.
<Michiru> <Terra> *eyes Cass, waiting.. then John*
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks at a datapad*
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks, then types. "Cassandra's voice locked out the computer. We gotta get her voice back."
* Cassandra` types up a summary of the situation on her datapad and holds it up...
* Xanatos glances around from person to person, he crosses his arms and leans against the wall, a happy look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Xan, then back at Cassa.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks a little annoyed at something*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *eyes Terra*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems mindful of Terra, but remains quiet. Looking laid back.
* Xanatos tilts his head to look at Erevis.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *glances to Xanatos, and EYES him*
* Ariel looks to Cheryl, and shakes her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives her a "You know better" look.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *types "I hope this is fixed soon. I need to have words with him..."*
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Kyouki, then Xan
* Xanatos glances at Kyouki now, arching a brow.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks at Cassandra, considering*
<DeathStar> <Computer> Warning. Warning. Virus detected.
* Xanatos shakes his head, making a crazy motion with his hand.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *GLARES at Xan*
* Seraphna grins
<DeathStar> <Computer> Sigma virus invading systems.
* Michiru looks happy at this development
* Michiru suddenly does not
* Cassandra` raises a brow.
* Xanatos just chuckles to himself, then frowns looking around at the sound of a virus.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks completely unphased by the names. It's a Betaish name. Figures.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "..." *types "Sigma virus? That... sounds scarily familiar* *looks worried*
<Seraphna> "Okay I got one in the system."
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn types: It's Sera. I'm surprised it's not the Eplison virus, knowing her.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks unimpressed*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *types "I'm sure it's nothing."*
<DeathStar> 6* The lights go out on the ship
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *types "Yeah. Sigma is just a letter."*
* Xanatos glances up. He coughs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl coughs
<Michiru> <Terra> *glances up, rolling her eyes*
<Michiru> "..."
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <What have you done?>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes.
* Xanatos activates his night vision, just so he can't keep everyone in his sights.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *datapad* "Yay.. the virus crippled us. I knew I couldn't trust that."
* Cassandra` puts her hand to her forehead...
<Michiru> <Terra> "Situation deteriorating."
<DeathStar> 6* The ships begins to dump oxygen as it reverses back to Day 0
<Seraphna> "God dmanit it doesn't do that..."
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <WHAT HAS SERA DONE?!?!!>
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn grabs Setsuna's boobs in fear of his lfie
<Ariel> Em> <................ *doesn't want to know*>
<Seraphna> <Nothing, it's not supposed to do this, power should be abck on already.>
<Ariel> Setsuna> *slugs John in the face*
<DeathStar> 6* John hits the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps closer to Ariel, glancing around
<Ariel> Setsuna> *points to John, points to her knife*
* Xanatos begins to slowly tap the wall, a frown on his face.
* Ariel wishes she knew computers about now
<Michiru> <Terra> *wishes so too*
<DeathStar> <Computer's Voice> I am the Sigma Virus. I am now in control of this ship. I shall revert all beings back to Day 0
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *blinks*
<DeathStar> 6* John grunts in pain. Now that sounds fun.
<Seraphna> "What the bloody hell..."
<Michiru> <Terra> *grabs her hand through a pannel on a console*
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn types out: I think someone was ready for the virus
<DeathStar> 6* John begins to feel light headed. It seems the bridge's oxygen is going first.
* Xanatos pulls up his datapad, typing: "We should move..." He pulls up his hand to rest on his head.
<Michiru> <Terra> *grits her teeth*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits back in a seat.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *datapad* "Where to?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, suddenly glad she's a dragoon, turns to move over to Terra. She seems to debat ebreaking the system
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *datapad* "Break the system?"
* Xanatos taps again. "Dunno. Someplace that would keep oxygen longer?"
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn goes to respond, but instead opts to pass out
<Michiru> <Terra> *winces, looking exhausted, but still standing*
* Seraphna gets to a terminal, "Right... now let's see hwo the X virus handles this..."
* Xanatos finally taps. "The garden." He moves over to grab John and turns to move out, his head feeling light.
* Cassandra` moves to grab John and hauls him to the lift...needs less oxygen than normal humans...
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, air is restored.
* Xanatos glances around, taking a deep breath.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *takes a deep breath*
<DeathStar> 6* The console them zaps the hell out of Terra, since she interefered.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks confused*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, shielding her face as the shock emits from the console into Terra
<Michiru> <Terra> *pulls away, twitching*
<DeathStar> 6* The defense systems on the bridge activate, targetting Terra.
<Michiru> <Terra> *starts to move for the elevator*
* Xanatos kneels down and taps John's face, trying to get him awake.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets to her feet, then psionically shoves Terra into the elevator shaft as the defenses open fire.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's chair gets a hole in it.
<Michiru> <Terra> *clings to the elevator shaft*
* Cassandra` purses her lips, eyebrow twitching...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at everyone, points at the guns, then the consoles, trying to ask which one is the security.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the guns, which are now beginning to target those on the bridge
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *points out the security console*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *is at the security console at this point, trying to turn them off*
* Xanatos moves to get off of the bridge, since he definitely isn't security.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over to it, eyeing them beside Setsuna.
<DeathStar> 6* Xan makes a leap into the elevator shaft ,then
* Seraphna keeps working on the system, trying to get Simga overridden.
<DeathStar> 6* The guns open fire at those remaining on the bridge.
* Xanatos snags onto the cable, hanging there for a moment, then sliding down to the floor below.
* Ariel gets Erevis under cover.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *seeing Ariel cover Erevis, darts behind cover, if only pulling a chair over her*
* Cassandra` dodges the attacks, then leaps down the elevator shaft.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, turning to face Ariel. She raises a bloodied hand, shifting the guns to face each other, clearly getting agnry.
<DeathStar> 6* The guns blow themselves up. Cheryl, the technical wizard she is, rips out some wires from the security network, shrugging at Setsuna
* Seraphna frantically works, "What the hell is this... who could have done this...?"
* Xanatos just begins to whistle as he hangs there, waiting for an all clear sign.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs silently*
* Cassandra` climbs back up once the blasting stops...
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator begins to zoom up toward Xan and Cass, aiming to smash them
<Michiru> <Terra> *quickly climbs OUT of the elevator shaft*
* Xanatos also climbs up quickly, jumping out of the shaft, landing on the bridge with a umph.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos, not the climber that is Cassandra, isn't going to be fast enough. Try another option
* Seraphna blinks, nodding, suddenly insistently trying to route data into a mech.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *checks on Cass*
* Michiru eyes Seraphna, wondering what she's thinking
* Xanatos pulls out his pistols and begins to spin, firing down at the elevator to blow a circle in it just enough for him to make it inside safely.
* Cassandra` moves back to her seat, eyeing the hole...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans down the shaft and watches Xan eaten by a hole in the elevator.
<Seraphna> <Hotaru?>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Yeah? What? *sounds a little shaken still*>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans her head back as the eelvator stops at the top of the bridge.
<Seraphna> <My beautiful bonded sister, gonna need you ready to go full dragoon.>
* Xanatos attempts to pull open the door so he can get back onto the bridge.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Em? Sera has a plan... I hope it's a good one.. I need you.>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pants, dropping her damaged hand. She looks pissed - and radiates it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl yanks Xanatos out, just eyeing him boredly.
* Seraphna keeps sending all that juicy data into a work mech.
<Michiru> <Terra> *eyes the consoles warily*
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the lights come back on and the computers are restored. Everything is happy again.
<Ariel> Em> <*WORRIES*>
* Xanatos frowns, shrugging.
<DeathStar> 6* John wakes up finally.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <... problem solved?>
<DeathStar> 6* A mech suddenly begins to move in the hanger.
<Ariel> Em> *hurries to meet up with Hotaru*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face the monitor of the hanger, eyeing the moving mech
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hanger, then sighs.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *heads to Em, hoping to meet half-way* <What is the plan, Sera?>
<Seraphna> <Get to the hangar, you have a mech to destroy.>
* Ariel just sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* The mech begins to arm itself.
* Seraphna cuts the mech off from the system entirely.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws up frustrated hands.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *wonders why she couldn't have put it into something benign. Like a datapad*
<DeathStar> 6* The mech arms what weapons it got ready, and begins to target thigns.
* Xanatos just gives a silent laugh and moves toward the hanger as well, pulling out both of his pistols.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Head to the hangar?> *heads that way*
<Seraphna> *It wields... a mighty welding torch...
<DeathStar> 6* The mech begins to weld poor humans.
<Michiru> <Terra> *eyes the monitors* "..."
<Seraphna> NRP; THe ones dumb enough to hang around, anyways.
<DeathStar> NRP: There's always ones dumb enough to hang around
<Seraphna> <Sis, get there now, it's geting unruly.>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at the sight
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <I'M GOING!>
* Seraphna activates the hangars defense, shooting at it.
* Xanatos just whistles as he goes, spinning the pistols casually.
<DeathStar> 6* The mech welds at the defenses.
<Seraphna> *The probably start blasting at limbs, it's only a commercial mech.
<Michiru> <Terra> *grabs a datapad and puts in a requisition for explosives. Lots of them*
<DeathStar> 6* The mech begins to rampage in the hanger, stepping on things.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *eyes Terra*
<Seraphna> <It was the only thing with a big enough external computer...>
<DeathStar> 6* John stares, the nrubs the back of his head.
* Ariel covers her face
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos arrives to fight... Welder Sigma Mech
<Ariel> Em> *reaches the hangar by now. She was closer then the bridge*
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *arrives with Em* <Ready?>
<DeathStar> 6* The mech turns to face Xanatos.
* Xanatos begins to charges up his pistols. He smiles at the mech.
<Ariel> Em> <...want to watch this first?>
<DeathStar> 6* The mech stares, then suddenly welds Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* John slaps his face.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <... well... alright.. I don't want anyone to get hurt, but it looks like he can handle things for now.>
* Seraphna slaps her face too
<Ariel> Setsuna> *falls over laughing*
<Ariel> Em> *looks to Hotaru* <Now?>
* Xanatos jumps back, launching a charged shot for the joint of each arm, rubbing the soot off of his face afterwords.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *nods to Em*
* Seraphna sighs, restoring the other systems while the... rather hilarious scene plays out.
<DeathStar> 6* The welding mech is hit. It responds by welding Xan's gun
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *gets ready to transform*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just stares, unsure if she should help or not.
<Ariel> Em> *allows Hotaru to go gear form*
* Xanatos looks horrified, dropping the gun. He narrows his eyes at the mech and moves to strafe around the mech, firing a charged shot into the side of it's leg as he moves.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks happy to not be needed here*
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *goes into gear form*
* Seraphna taps her comms, "Alright, the system is green, the unfortunate note is that it needs a new voice entry."
<Ariel> Em> *watches Xanatos fight the gear*
<DeathStar> 6* The mech is hit again. It responds by welding Xan's shoes.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Ready when you are.>
<DeathStar> 6* John quietly records this fight.
* Xanatos jumps awake, kicking out a small flame on his shoes. He pulls up his pistols and aim at the torch's canister, firing and aiming to blow it up.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks pleased at that move*
<DeathStar> 6* BOOM. Welding Sigma Mech suddenly becomes Flaming Welding Sigma Mech
* Xanatos widens his eyes and moves to run away from it.
<DeathStar> 6* It chases Xan
* Xanatos waves his arms at Hotaru and Em!
<Ariel> Em> *sighs, and shoots the mech*
<DeathStar> 6* The mech is shot and spins around and around
<Ariel> Setsuna> *keeps laughing*
<DeathStar> 6* It charges at Hotaru
<DeathStar> 6* It spreads it's flaming arms.
<DeathStar> 6* It grabs Hotaru in a flaming hug, burning her
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *moves out of the way*
* Xanatos slides out of the way and aims his pistol at the mech from behind, aiming at the back of its head, allowing his gun to charge up.
<Ariel> Em> *winces, and causes the dragoongear to knee the other gear, trying to get it off*
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *fires on the other gear once clear enough to do so*
<Seraphna> <It has no propulsion, it's an internal Mech, toss it outside.>
<DeathStar> 6* The flaming gear is frustated
* Xanatos fires a charged shot to the back of its head as Hotaru moves away.
<DeathStar> 6* And then it's shot, blowing up.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Victory!>
<Seraphna> <Whoot!>
<DeathStar> 6* Pieces of it smach into Hotaru. Lets help this Sigma virus doesn't spread by contact.
* Xanatos throws up his arms and does a little victory dance.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, that was fun. Wait, I just talked.
<Seraphna> <Now to figure out why you guys are mute.>
<Ariel> Em> <Nice work.>
<Seraphna> <Or...>
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his throat.
* Seraphna tries tos peak.
<Michiru> <Terra> "John?"
<DeathStar> <John> Terra?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "-ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs.
* Seraphna smiles to herself as nothing comes out.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Bloody hell, my voice is back to normal."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes. "God, that was pathetic."
<Michiru> "... what was that?"
* Seraphna shrugs and gets back to getting everything back together.
* Ariel opens her mouth, no words coming out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shoves her bloodied hands back into her pockets.
<Seraphna> <I'm mute again, can you guys speak?>
* Xanatos just laughs to himself and moves over to pick up his slightly welded gun, a frown on his face. He silently walks out of the hanger and moves down the hallway.
<DeathStar> <John> I think I'm going to play Xan's fight as a training video for all our security people.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Umm...> *finds a nice out of the way spot to transform back*
* Ariel moves her mouth, looking mystified, but still makes no sound.
<DeathStar> 6* John keeps recording, moving the camera to track Hotaru
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "... anyone got spare clothes?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Ariel? 6She asks her, concern in her voice.
<Seraphna> <Well?>
* Ariel sighs, practically falling over. "...yes?"
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Yeah... my voice is back. Let me guess, yours is gone again?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl catches Ariel. "Back to bed with you."
<Seraphna> <Yep... oh well...>
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... thankyou Ariel."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at her, raising a brow. "You seem tired."
* Xanatos whistles as he steps back onto the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Xanatos.
* Seraphna taps her comms, her voice pipping out by Cass, ".....Seems everything is normal now, you can set up security measure sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Peacemaker finally finishes surgery.
<Michiru> <Terra> *slumps a bit, holding her bloodied hand* "That... really hurt."
<DeathStar> <John> Please tell me he's stil a mute.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Who?"
* Xanatos looks at John, "In your dreams, buddy."
<DeathStar> <John> Damn
* Ariel shakes her head. "Just... confused. I'm alright."
* Xanatos holds up his welded gun. "Bastard welded my gun." He says with a frown.
<Michiru> <Terra> "I think it's shipwide..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure you are. And what made you climb up an elevator shaft? Come on. Back to bed. Don't make me beat you into going.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves Ariel for the elevator that has a hole in it now thanks to Xan
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks ready to pass out*
* Seraphna smiles to michiru
* Ariel shighs, and shakes her head with a smile, "Alright... I'm going." She gives Erevis a small nod of the head.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods back, watching her until Cheryl has her out of sight.
<Cassandra`> The question is...how the hell did this happen...?
* Seraphna signs, "See, all better."
<Michiru> "What made you upload that...?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *catches her breath, and looks to John* "And, if you do that again..." *cracks her knuckles*
<Xanatos> I was about to ask the same. *he notes, putting his gun back in its holster*
* Seraphna blinks, "It was a system restore virus... something changed it."
<DeathStar> <John> Uh...right..
<DeathStar> <John> Never agian.
<Michiru> "... some system restore..."
<Cassandra`> I mean our voices...
* Seraphna shrugs and sighs
<Xanatos> I did too...
<DeathStar> <John> That was weird.
<Xanatos> I kinda liked it.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... nice to know I can still handle myself."
<DeathStar> <John> Then stop talking.
<Seraphna> "I fixed it right?" *she signs*
<Michiru> "I think so..."
<Xanatos> But now everyone can talk, it isn't fair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes them all, then opts to step off the bridge herself.
<DeathStar> <John> Christ, no wonder Warren turned to pills.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *follows* "Are you feeling alright?"
* Seraphna sighs, "Take care of yourself kiddo." *she looks a bit sullen, standing up*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Kyouki as the elevator goes down. "Other than my hands, I am fine."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Yeah... it's weird, isn't it Cass?"
<DeathStar> 6* John mimics Setsuna behind her back.
<Cassandra`> I want to know why it happened.
<Xanatos> He started pills well before I returned. *he points out* Oh and I should probably excuse myself...*he moves over to push the elevator button.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *elbows John in the gut without looking*
<DeathStar> 6* John gags and falls down
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks toward the medical bay.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Glad to hear it... I was scared that the virus was going to do something even more horrible. Then again, I don't know what it could have done."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I'm just glad it's back to normal."
<Michiru> <Terra> *mostly just looks tired, but her hand's a mess*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl helps Ariel back into her room. "You really need to learn to take it easier."
* Xanatos steps inside after the elevator returns. "Any unauthorized personnel need to ride the elevator?" he asks, glancing at Terra.
* Seraphna smiles to the quiet Michiru before turning slowly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should be glad it was resolved with little incident
<DeathStar> 6* She steps into the medical bay to look for Peace.
* Michiru pauses and follows. "That was scary. I thought..."
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls himself painfully back into his seat.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *steps out once she's finished with Warren*
<Ariel> "I... did, actually."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds up her hands. "I need a simple bandage treatment."
* Seraphna blushes a little, then looks back at her, nodding.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then let me get Peace to help define "take it easy".
<DeathStar> 6* She scowls.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *nods, and bandages Erevis' hands* "What just happened?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis explains in a simple, and effective, summary.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *blinks* "That was very unfortunate timing."
<DeathStar> <John> Captain, sir. Whatever took our voices had to be super natural. I can't imagine someone on teh ship doing it.
* Xanatos shrugs and just takes the elevator down.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Ariel sighs and nods. "Alright. I will not strain myself to attempt to save the lives of this entire ship until I am better."
<Michiru> <Terra> "So, what? Ghosts?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better. 6* She nots, perfectly serious.
<DeathStar> *notes
<Cassandra`> That's why I want a full investigation.
<DeathStar> <John> ... Uh, who will lead the investigation?
<Michiru> <Terra> "I deal with spirits." *laughs, painedly*
<Cassandra`> I think it best to delay our voice print security measure until we are certain this won't be happening again.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *EYES John*
* Seraphna thinks, then signs, "How about some Ice Cream?"
<Cassandra`> Well...you are the executive officer...
<DeathStar> <John> What? I couldn't investigate my way out of a paper bag.
* Michiru nods. "That'd be great!" n.n
<Cassandra`> Who do you recommend then?
<Michiru> <Terra> "Anyone got any bandages?"
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know. Warren always handled that stuff.
* Seraphna grins and leader her down to the marketplace, packing up her datapad.
* Michiru follows happily
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, done being treated, excuses herself from the medical room
* Xanatos steps off of the elevator and moves down the hallway, making his way for the medical bay.
* Seraphna smiles, as John's comm beeps.
<Michiru> <Terra> *then just faints*
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, eyeing Terra
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, when did she get here?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Shortly after Ariel and Erevis."
<DeathStar> <John> Wow. I totally did not notice thta
* Xanatos steps into the medbay. "Doc I need your help."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Maybe she studied under Setsuna."
<Seraphna> *The comm beeps at John.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis passes Xanatos.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I think you were passed out on the floor from your own foolishness, at that time."
<DeathStar> 6* John turns on the comm.
<DeathStar> <John> My own foolishness?
* Xanatos glances at Erevis as he steps by her. "How's your hands?"
<Seraphna> ".....Everything should be fixed John."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They will heal.
<DeathStar> <John> Everything should be fixed, Captain. 6He repeats, despite Cassandra standing right there.
<Seraphna> ".....Well, mostly, I'm mute again, hurrah." *sarcastic tone*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *nods* "Yeah."
* Xanatos nods and smiles. "Good." He then turns and steps inside the medbay. "Doc I need your help!"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "What's the problem?"
<DeathStar> <John> Sera's also a mute. 6He replies.
<Xanatos> She's sick. Can you help her?
<Cassandra`> Indeed. Direct engineering to initiate repairs.
<Seraphna> "....And I'm treating your kid to some ice cream."
<DeathStar> <John> She's treat--waitasecond.
<Michiru> NRP: Who is Xan talking about again?
<DeathStar> <John> Did she eat her vegetables?
<Xanatos> NRP: Peace.
<Michiru> NRP: No, about being sick
<Xanatos> NRP: Peace.
* Seraphna turns to Michiru, then smiles warmly. "....She's earned it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, making sure Ariel is securely resting, turns to go
<Xanatos> NRP: OH just ask who. :S
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *eyes Xan* "Who is?"
* Xanatos produces the welded pistol. "She wont fire anymore, can you help her?"
<DeathStar> 6* John sighs and turns Sera off, going to call engineering for Cassandra.
* Ariel looks indignant.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... do I look like a mechanic?"
<Cassandra`> Setsuna?
<Xanatos> ...you look smart?
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hmm?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Smart enough to know it's easier just to replace it."
<DeathStar> 6* John turns his back on the two girls as he works on the orders.
<Cassandra`> How do you feel about being an investigator?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives her a beaming smile, and steps out.
* Xanatos frowns and holsters it, then smiles. "Actually I was wondering if I could get some burn ointment?
* Seraphna places an order for Hangar repairs as they reach the marketplace.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... maybe I should try."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Eh... spy I can handle. Paranormal investigator isn't exactly my area of expertise."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Sure."
* Xanatos touches his face and winces. "That stupid thing was quicker than I thought."
* Ariel gets out of bed immediately, and goes to take a shower.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *gets some burn ointment for Xan*
<Cassandra`> Mmmm...get me Erevis.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... fighting a welder mech..."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... If Erevis is too busy, I'll help..."
* Xanatos beams. "Peace you're a lifesaver." He takes the ointment. "Heh, it was pretty funny actually."
* Cassandra` nods.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cass, then deciees someone else can contact Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl returns to the bar and flops down in her seat. She taps the counter idlely.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I mean, I only volunteered."
<Michiru> <Terra> *is collapsed on the bridge still*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *idly* "When's your shift up, Cass?"
* Xanatos takes some of the ointment and carefully puts it on. "Ooooh that feels much better." He glances around. "So did you just sit around in silence during it all?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I was busy.."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Shouldn't someone do something about her?" *points to Terra*
<DeathStar> 6* John sits in his seat, pretending to be busy.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into her room and lays down on the bed.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...the civy is still on the bridge?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I wonder if Warren's awake yet." *goes to check*
* Xanatos tilts his head, "Warren?"
<Michiru> <Terra> *has fainted, so doesn't answer*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is still in post-op sleep.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "John. Escourt this girl to the infirmary immediately."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *nods, heading back out* "Still recovering."
<Cassandra`> ...I believe I issued an order...?
<DeathStar> 6* John twitches and grabs Terra, hurrying out.
<Xanatos> What happened? Did he finally let you try to fix his leg?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *looks to Cass, then goes to comm Erevis*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *just sighs*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Yes, I'm no Erevis. I know..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clicks the comm on mentally.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, sir?
<Cassandra`> Thank you, Setsuna.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *just reads Cass's mind instead. In detail*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *comm* "Erevis, the captain has requested your presence."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Understood. I will be there in 4.3 minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* John busts into the hanger, panting, holding Terra. "Patient!"
<DeathStar> (Er, med bay)
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. Hanger. Goddamn
<Xanatos> Err...patient confidentiality, right? *he nods and moves to leave, throwing up his hand* Thanks Peace. *he moves on out.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *comm* "Acknowledged." *turns off the comm and looks to Cassandra* "...she's percise, I'll give her that."
<DeathStar> 6* John pants, eyeing Xan, then Peace.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Right.. what happened?"
<DeathStar> <John> Dunno.
* Xanatos moves down the hallway, making his way for the garden.
* Seraphna steps into an ice cream place with Michiru
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *checks over Terra* "That hand looks bad."
<DeathStar> 6* John lays her down on a bed for Pace.
<DeathStar> <John> The breasts look fine.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "You would notice that first."
<Ariel> Setsuna> "So are you burning the midnight oil, after this?"
<DeathStar> <John> I am thorough.
<DeathStar> 6* John runs a hand through his red hair.
<Cassandra`> We do have a crisis situation to take care of.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Of course." *works on patching up Terra's hand, making sure there's no other problems*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl helps herself to drinks while Terra recovers.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Captain?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps onto the bridge at exactly 4.3 minutes.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well,
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *stands up and moves up in front of Cass to get her attention* "Captain?! Am I still mute or something?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Well, I'll stay as long as you do. Maybe we c-.....percise and accurate."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow at Kyouki.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> <STUPID CASSANDRA!>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *waves her hands in front of Cassandra's face*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, completely baffled now.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "What should I be doing?"
<Cassandra`> Yes?
<Cassandra`> Sorry...I'm feeling distracted.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... apparently."
<Cassandra`> Honestly...if youa re volunterring, pair up with Erevis. Two are better than one.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Thankyou."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains looking confused, glancing at Kyouki.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs at that line*
* Seraphna looks at Michiru
<Cassandra`> Alright, here is your mission...
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *glances over at Erevis* "Umm... is something wrong?"
<Michiru> "Hmm?" *eats icecream*
<Cassandra`> Find out the source of the effect that silenced all but Seraphna.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, sir.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Do we have any leads at all?"
<Cassandra`> Attempting the voice print override is too dangerous in the meantime unless we can be certain that this will not happen again.
<Cassandra`> We only know that there was an impact immediately before the occured.
* Xanatos steps into the garden and takes a seat on a nice mound of grass.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *pokes around to ensure that there are no bits of debris in the hand, when Terra grabs her hand*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods.
<Michiru> <Terra> *starts to wake up groggily*
* Seraphna smiles and eats her own.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... huh.. what?"
<Cassandra`> Setsuna, I have another job for you.
<Michiru> <Terra> "... the hell?" *suddenly seems scared*
<Michiru> <Terra> *struggles away, and flees the medbay*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "What's that?"
<DeathStar> <John> ... you have a way with people, Doc.
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet, rubbing his neck.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... fear of hospitals?"
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe it's just you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over to the computer, sitting down to review security logs.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... maybe. Maybe you should go check on her?"
<DeathStar> <John> ... but..
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "If she's afraid of me..."
<Cassandra`> Find our hacker.
<DeathStar> <John> Feh. 6He goes to find Terra.
<Michiru> <Terra> *is outside, looking freaked*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I'm sure miss Cran isn't hard to find."
<DeathStar> <John> Look, the Doc isnt THAT bad. 6He reaches out to Terra.
* Xanatos glances around and then steps out of the garden, he walks upon John and Terra. "What's wrong with her?"
<Michiru> <Terra> "... yeah... I'm just... I don't like hospitals. At all."
<DeathStar> 6* John freaks out at Xan
<Cassandra`> No...not her. The hacker who hijacked her virus.
<DeathStar> <John> Christ, where the hell did you come form
<Michiru> <Terra> "Bad mem..." *eyes Xan*
* Xanatos eyes the two.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Are you sure there was one?"
* Cassandra` nods.
<Xanatos> What?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *quietly checks over the science stations logs*
<DeathStar> 6* John leans on the wall, taking deep breaths
<Michiru> <Terra> "Are you alright?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Eh... I'll look into it in any case."
<DeathStar> <John> Yeah, weak heart I guess.
<DeathStar> <John> Anyway, Xan here will take you back to your room.
<DeathStar> <John> Get some rest.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Alright. Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens his eyes in the post-op room
* Xanatos watches John for a moment for glances at Terra. "So where am I taking you?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> *sighs and heads to the computer room to access the logs and find out who else access the data Sera uploaded*
<Michiru> <Terra> *gives directions*
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *goes to check on Warren again*
* Xanatos nods and turns, escorting Terra. Helping her if she need it. Taking her back to he room. He glances at her. "You ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* John heads out to find his daughter and rescue her from ice cream.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah.. just a bit bloodied. And freaked out."
<Xanatos> You were talking a little weird, I must admit.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah, that was it..."
<Xanatos> Have you done that before? *he asks, making conversation as he rounds a corner*
<Michiru> <Terra> "Talked funny, or punched through elevator doors?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Should we investigate the people who didn't lose their voice?"
<Xanatos> I believe the answer is D. All of the above. *he glances at her, a slight smirk on his face*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would stand to reason whoever had a voice lost it, and those who didn't have one gained it. 6She notes calmly, reading the info.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I saw the redhead before. At the meeting. Didn't she speak then?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Peace.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "How are you feeling?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> As if you cut into me.
<Cassandra`> I'll be in my ready room if you find out anything... *rises and leaves the bridge*
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "That's to be expected. There were a lot of hand injuries while you were out."
* Cassandra` has left #taw
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Xanatos, Erevis, and the redheaded bartender who was at the meeting."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Pretty strong grip."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. What happened? 6His voice is instantly alert.
* Xanatos glances at Terra with a frown. "Anyway. Here we are." He motions to her room.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "There was a security system test... and for some reason, everyone lost their voice. Except Serena and the bartender."
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah.. thanks."
<Xanatos> Rest up. Who else will serve me beers, eh?
<Michiru> <Terra> "I haven't talked weird like that before."
<Michiru> <Terra> "Will do."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing, thinking
<Michiru> <Terra> *heads inside* "See you at the bar."
* Xanatos nods, "I'll keep my eye on you. Who knows, you might be special too." He throws up his hand. "Later."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Apparently, Serena gained hers."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Temporarily."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Xanatos shoves his hands into his pockets and turns to leave Terra to her room, moving back along the hallway.,
* Seraphna pats Michiru on the head, signing, "Enjoyed?"
<DeathStar> 6* John sits down beside Michiru. "Did you eat your vegetables?"
<Michiru> "Yes."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She downloads the data her to her datapad to review, since this isn't something they'll solve today. And it's gotten late.
<DeathStar> 6* She then rises and exits the bridge.
* Seraphna musses her head a little and grins, nodding.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *goes over the data a little longer, downloading it to her datapad*
<DeathStar> <John> Is she lying? 6He eyes Michiru.
<Seraphna> *head = hair
* Xanatos whistles as he moves along the hallways, glancing down at the time. "Oh what a day." He says with a smile.
<Michiru> "I wouldn't lie."
<DeathStar> <John> Then, did you eat your vegetables first?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes some of Terra's vintage whiskey, and moves onto the ale.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along for the garden, finding it a more relaxing environment.
<Michiru> <Terra> .oO(Can't help thinking that there's something I'm forgetting...)
* Seraphna smiles and sighs, she looks at John almost like looking at a long lost friend. Not far from the truth with how much they've seen each other of late.
<Michiru> "I ate them second."
<DeathStar> <John> .... But I just watched you finish ice cream. 6He narrows his eyes.
* Xanatos steps into the garden once again, sitting back down and stretching out, deciding that he might take a nap before he goes back to the bar.
<Michiru> "And then I ate ice cream."
* Michiru doesn't even mention that the vegetables were at breakfast
<DeathStar> 6* John throws up his hands, giving up
* Seraphna grins
<Michiru> <Terra> *suddenly jumps up and heads to the bar*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to enter the garden, glancing at Xanatos already there and going to nap, so she turns to go
* Seraphna taps the table, calling John to attention.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at her
* Seraphna gives him a questioning look!
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow
<Xanatos> I wont bother you. *he speaks up, as Erevis turns to go. He perks his eyes open and glances at her* Infact these are the last words i'll speak.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes the vintage ale, then goes to look for more.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
* Xanatos nods and holds a thumbs up.
* Seraphna taps her watch, then points between them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him, her green eyes never looking away. She seems to be debating going anyway
<Michiru> "What?"
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know. I think she's asking if I want her watch.
* Seraphna signs so Mchi can translate, "Where you been stranger."
* Xanatos just sits there innocently, and to prove his point, he lays back, closing his eyes.
* Michiru pauses. "Oh, she's asking where you've been."
<DeathStar> <John> I've been on the ship. 6He grins.
* Michiru nods. "Working?"
<DeathStar> <John> That's the life of an XO
* Seraphna signs, "Owe me a night out."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down near the garden entrance.
* Michiru blinks a little at that
<DeathStar> <John> What did she say?
<Michiru> "Umm... she's saying you owe her a night out."
<DeathStar> <John> Really? 6Cocks an eyebrow. "I do?"
* Seraphna grins and crosses her arms matter of factly under her chest.
<DeathStar> <John> And where do I owe you?
* Xanatos opens his eyes and glances over at Erevis, then looks back up at the tree above him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reads the data, flexing her hands now and again.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *tries to find information on the Sigma virus*
<DeathStar> 6* There is no information on the Sigma virus
* Seraphna signs, "Stood me up and..." *she stops, thinking it probably not best to include a one night stand*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *sighs, and makes a note to ask Sera*
<DeathStar> <John> Alright. Where do you want to go?
* Michiru pauses uncertainly
<Michiru> "Please don't ask me to lie about this to Shiva."
<DeathStar> <John> Lie about what?
<DeathStar> 6* John looks confused.
* Seraphna thinks, tapping her chin. Then signs, "Dinner and a movie."
* Seraphna also looks confused.
<Michiru> "The date."
* Xanatos sits up finally and rubs his chin, glancing at Erevis reading her datapad, he pulls up his own datapad and types up on it, holding it up to Erevis. "Working on that voice thing?"
<DeathStar> <John> This isn't a date, kiddo. I'm just taking her out.
* Seraphna signs, "Friends."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis's green eyes him.
* Michiru nods, seeming satisfied at that
<DeathStar> <John> I think she said dinner and a movie. Come on, lets go. You can come, too, Michi
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, tossing down some gil for Michiru's ice cream.
* Michiru nods
* Xanatos glances at the datapad and then at Erevis, tilting his head.
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6Her tone is flat. She goes back to eyeing her datapad.
* Chad`Winters steps into the bar, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans. He moves over to the counter and sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, plastered, glances up and snorts. "Oh great."
* Xanatos types into the datapad again and holds it up. "Could it be some sort of nebula that we went through?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She glances out at the non-nebula space, then at Xan.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *goes to talk to Xan now*
* Chad`Winters glances over at Cheryl. 1"If it isn't the benevolent Dragoon Alpha Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe so.
* Seraphna smiles to John and lets him go, grinning to Michi, signing, "Don't worry, I'll try not to move in on your mom, whoever she is."
* Michiru smiles
* Xanatos frowns, then types. "Nevermind then." he smiles and lays back down.
<DeathStar> 6* John heads for the movies.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you are going to type, you might as well speak. 6She notes stubbornly.
<Michiru> <Terra> *wanders into the bar finally* "You didn't drink too... much..." *trails off seeing Chad*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your sugar coated lies are so kind.
<DeathStar> 6* John runs his datapad to look at the movies. Hmm. An R rated movie with nudity. He debates it.
<Chad`Winters> Well we can't all fail at protecting someone.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pardon?
* Seraphna follows after him after signing, "You should head home afore my sister worries."
* Seraphna looks at John's datapad and nods approvingly.
<Xanatos> Just didn't want to bother you too much. *he notes, glancing at her* But that thought dawned on me so I didn't know if it was possible. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
<Michiru> <Terra> "And who are you protecting?"
<DeathStar> <Erevi> And typing does not draw one's attention away? 6She challenges, eyeing Xan now.
<Chad`Winters> Why else would you be out here, you could be doing the same thing back in our galaxy. You're here to protect someone. 6He glances at Terra. "I'll have a beer."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs into her beer. "You hear this? He's a resident psych job."
<Michiru> <Terra> *eyes Chad, but hands out a beer anyway, a little reluctantly, but hey, it's money*
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah, isn't he the one who messed up the whole ship a while back?"
* Seraphna stops, thinking.
<DeathStar> 6* John places in the tickets, then gets in line.
<Xanatos> I...*he frowns* I guess you're right. *he rubs the back of his neck* Sorry.
* Chad`Winters grabs the beer taking a drink from it. 1"The ship was already messed up, I just exposed it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's a regular saint.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Oh, I'm sure we had such horrible problems with exploding elevators before you came along."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, looking back at her datapad. She's heard enough sorries from Xan lately.
<Chad`Winters> So tell me Ariel, how bad does your blood boil knowing that I almost killed Ariel when PAX first began?
<Chad`Winters> NPR: Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's grip tightens a little. "Are you trying to hit my buttons, Chad?"
* Xanatos stretches back now staring up at the branch above him.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets the tickets, turning to Sera, seeing Michi is gone now . "Hunh, guess she wasn't in the mood."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure it's bad, but not as bad as having the same person spare your life. 6He takes another drink
* Michiru pops up behind John
<DeathStar> 6* John turns back around and screams.
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his chest
* Seraphna grins
* Seraphna signs, "Don't kill him yet! You need him to exist."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You just love to keep talking, don't you? 6She turns to face him. "Yap yap yap yap."
* Michiru eeps a little. "Are you alright? I didn't scare you too much, did I?"
<DeathStar> <John> Need air. 6He takes deep breaths, then hands Michiru her ticket.
* Xanatos speaks after a while, keeping his voice neutral so that it wouldn't bother Erevis much. "How have you been these past 2 weeks?"
* Seraphna grins softly, putting a hand on John's shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why do you ask?
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *heads for the gardens*
<Xanatos> I'm just curious about your well being.
<Chad`Winters> It's probably bad, ranking somewhere along the lines of having Serena or Alexander Cran save you...
<DeathStar> 6* John hands Sera her ticket now. They apparantly are going to see some action packed flick with big boobs.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis runs her hand through her hair, playing with a strand.
* Xanatos smiles. "Good. I hope you aren't working too hard."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face Chad, leaning in close. "I'm not one of your little teammates who's going to put up with your words, Id. Walk away. Before I really do something I won't regret."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I work at my own pace. 6She says firmly, eyeing him dangerously.
<Chad`Winters> Like you did to Dias, hmm? 6He glances over at her.
<DeathStar> 6* And suddenly, her glass is in Chad's face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now look at what you made me do.
* Seraphna pats John on the head consolingly. Defeated by a 14 year old. A cute one at that.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Id. Don't mess with my patrons."
* Chad`Winters sits there, he moves his hand up across his face as he wipes her drink from his face.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves into the theater and gets popcorn.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just smiles at him.
* Michiru sits next to John, smiling
* Xanatos glances at her. "I trust you do. I just hope that whenever you feel tired, you do take breaks." He pauses for a second. "One time I worked for a few days strait, nearly killed me." He notes with a frown.
<Chad`Winters> Good to know you're more human than dragoon. 6He reaches over taking another sip from his beer.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I am not a child.
* Seraphna takes a seat on the other side of John.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ho! You don't want to see what your daddy made, you little arrogant punk
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions for a new glass.
<DeathStar> 6* John eats his popcorn, watching the flick. He appears totally relaxed.
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands one over quickly* "That one's free."
<Xanatos> I know. *he pauses and glances over at her* Did you see that fight with the welderbot? Pretty silly huh?
<Chad`Winters> But I have, and it's rather beautiful if you look at it right.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, totally baffled at the change of thought in his brain. "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sips her drink, her left hand clenched tightly.
* Seraphna enjoys the movie as well, resting a bit, she does glance at John and Michi every once in a while.
<Xanatos> The fight with the mech with the welder. Damn thing messed up one of my pistols. *he notes with a frown, a smirk sliding on his face*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes. 6She says simply. She keeps eyeing him, wondering if his brain is damaged like Warren claimed.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks annoyed at Chad*
* Chad`Winters stares back at Terra. 1"So you call the cops on someone who throws a bottle at a patron but someone who throws a drink in someones face is fine?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know what, I've lost my buzz. 6She throws down her gil and gets up
<Michiru> <Terra> "Oh, I'm sorry, are your feelings hurt?"
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet, moving towards her. "I believe i'll leave you alone now. I've probably bothered you too much." He moves and steps past, "Be well." He says, stepping out into the hallway.
<Chad`Winters> Hardly, I'm just curious as to where your line is drawn.
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis keeps sitting there, unable to respond.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *waits in the hallway* "Hello Xanatos."
<Xanatos> Kyouki. *he notes, as he keeps walking*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl heads for the door, running a hand through her hair, visiblely angered.
<Michiru> <Terra> "I don't like troublemaking punks."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Good, you know my name."
<Xanatos> You need somethin? *he asks in an impatient tone*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *coldly* "... what do you think of Erevis?"
<Chad`Winters> I've read several reports of a tall blonde bombshell causing excrutiating pain to patrons because they approached her. How is that fair? 6He seems to be talking loud enough for Cheryl to hear.
* Xanatos glances at her. "I don't believe it is any of your business."
<Michiru> <Terra> "It's what they've been doing to cause that reaction."
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I think it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slows down just a bit, biting on her tongue
<DeathStar> 6* John watches the movies, chewing noisely.
* Xanatos stops and turns to look at her. "No, I know that is isn't any of your business so why don't you butt out."
* Seraphna gets bored halfway through the flick, closing her eyes, her head resting on John's shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> I suppose it'd be as easy as beating a dragoon. 6He takes the final sip of his beer and sets it down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops.
<Michiru> "Too bad you can't, huh."
<Michiru> <Terra> *says that*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face Chad.
* Chad`Winters only gives Terra smirk than stands up. 1"Ask Ariel that next time."
<DeathStar> 6* And suddenly, with a roar of anger, Cheryl throws herself at Chad.
* Chad`Winters is nailed and slams into the counter with a thud.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I've read about you, Xanatos."
<Xanatos> Oh so I guess you know everything about me. *he shakes his head and turns to walk away from Kyouki*
<Michiru> <Terra> *smirks, watching*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the back of his hair, aiming to smash his face into the counter. "You son of a bitch. You think I forgot what you did to her?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Did you ever care about her at all?"
* Chad`Winters 's head slams into the table, causing a sickening thud
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *moves to follow*
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Or was she just some convenient pawn for you to use?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to repeat the motion, clearly lost in a rage. "Put her in a coma, you sick fuck. You used Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* John doesn't stop Sera, eating the popcorn.
* Xanatos stops turning to glare at Kyouki. "Watch your mouth."
* Chad`Winters head slams again, this time a stint of blood appearing on the counter
* Seraphna cuddles up a little as she drifts off, yawning silently.
<DeathStar> 6* It's clear Cheryl isn't going to stop until he's dead. Not this time.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Why? Does the truth hurt?"
* Chad`Winters slams his hand on the table stopping himself while his other hand grabs the bottle and smashes it across her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit, hissing as blood mixes with her blonde hair. Her eyes lose some of their human qualities. She suddenly goes for his throat, aiming to throw him across the room. People scatter.
* Chad`Winters jabs his fingers into her arm as it reacehs for his throat.
<Michiru> <Terra> *looks uncertain*
* Xanatos suddenly moves forward and grabs the front of Kyouki's shirt, slamming her back against the wall. "You want to know the truth!? I loved her, I loved her as much as I loved Katrina. Infact, I still do. And I probably always will." His eyes are cold looking. "I don't deserve her. I don't deserve either of them. Now shut the fuck up and leave me alone." he lets go and turns, walking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates the energy whip as he hits her arm, and swings it for his throat.
* Seraphna snoozes.
* Chad`Winters leans back as the whip snaps above his body. His leg hooks around a barstool and he hurls it towards Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* The movie ends and John, putting an arm around Sera ,helps her to her feet, moving outside. "I think she hated the movie, Michi.:
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "You don't deserve her. Especially not after what you did." *pauses* "But I'm glad to see it hurts. Means you're not a total monster."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tilts out of the way. She's his target now.
<DeathStar> (He's her)
* Seraphna blinks, looking about a little sleepily, blushing, letting John lead her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes forward, knocking tables out of the way, throwing out her arm, the whip flying out with a crack
* Xanatos ignores her as he rounds a corner, moving down the hall. He stops and slams his fist into the wall. "Nosey fucking bitch..." he mumbles, before returning on his walk away from that portion of the ship.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "... if you love someone, you don't try to kill them." *turns to walk away*
* Chad`Winters kicks up another barstool into her whip and kicks off the counter going intowards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, calculating his movements, twists, aiming to grab his leg and throw him into a table.
* Chad`Winters is caught and hurled into a table, causing it to break in two.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a table and throws it at Chad
* Chad`Winters is nailed by the table and buried under it and the one he smashed into
* Xanatos moves along, heading for his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws out the whip for the table.
* Seraphna leans against John, blinks, then sign, "Dinner?"
* Michiru pauses a moment, then translates. "Dinner sounds good."
<Chad`Winters> 6Suddenly a hand grabs Serena and spins her around and before she can react two palms shove her down towards the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks.
* Michiru spins to look over
* Seraphna gasps silently and hits the ground, groaning a bit.
<Chad`Winters> 6The table is launched upwards and into the whip and Chad rolls out of the way, grabbing the half of the table he broke and hurling it towards her.
Session Close: Wed Feb 21 00:00:00 2007

Session Start: Wed Feb 21 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #taw
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> What the fuck do you think your doing with my man, you little whore?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, hit by the table half. She knocks it away, slowed down in her attack run
<DeathStar> <John> S-Shiva?
* Seraphna stares up at her in shock, shaking her head fiercely.
* Xanatos steps into his room and pulls a hand up to his face. "Damnit..." he mouths then moves over to lay on his bed.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Glares at John. "Oh we'll talk next." 6She turns back to Serena. "Oh cop the I'm innocent crap. What the hell do you think you're doing elaning against my man?!
* Michiru looks to Sera. "But this is just an innocent cinema trip, isn't it?"
* Seraphna signs, "Friends, just friends, was sleepy..."
* Chad`Winters grabs onto two chairs and spins, hurling one and then spins around again, hurling the second one. He then dashes in behind it leaping up and kicking towards her.
<Michiru> <Terra> *watches the devastation, and makes a decision* "... hey, Cheryl.. calm down..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, not locked onto them, is forced to try to counter, but is hit by the kick, grunting as she hits the ground. She flips to her feet, using a hand spring.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yeah I'm sure you wanted to give him a hand job.
<DeathStar> <John> S-She---I--we..
* Chad`Winters plants his feet and bounces off throwing a side kick as she hand springs.
* Seraphna stares, realising she doesn't understand signing.
* Seraphna reaches to get out her comms.
* Michiru looks to Shiva. "You could read her mind?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, taking the kick. She throws a punch for Chad's face.
<Michiru> <Terra> *goes to call Ariel, almost reluctantly*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I don't care if you hang out with other girls, but letting them lean on you? Especially ones that slept with you because they're e
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> easy?
<DeathStar> <John> She-we--I had the kid with me
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn uses Michiru as a shield.
<Michiru> "I wouldn't let anything happen!"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Thank god, I'm sure if Michiru wasn't here she would've thrown herself at you even more!
* Michiru has no response to that
* Chad`Winters 's head snaps back and his body spins from it
* Seraphna glowers, she wouldn't, she shakes her head more.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
<DeathStar> NRP: TERRA DENIED
<Michiru> <Terra> "... damn it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, on the offense with blood in her eyes, attempts to snag his body and bring her knee into his ribs.
<Michiru> <Terra> *tries to think of someone else who can calm down Cheryl*
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|GOOOOOOONE
* Chad`Winters is grabbed and in response he drops one knee to intercept and thrusts out his other hand, aiming to nail a nerve cluster in her right shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit. She steps back.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I know you're track record, like hell I'll believe you.
* Chad`Winters stares at her, blood now pouring down the one side of his face.
* Seraphna shakes her head more, her hand curling into a fist as she stands slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her shoulder and twists something, a crack heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then throws a punch, having corrected his move.
<DeathStar> 6* John watches the two
<DeathStar> 6* And is afraid of stopping them
* Michiru watches too, unsure how to stop them
* Seraphna does it for them.
* Seraphna holds out a hand to Shiva, showing her the back of it. She turns around, nods apologetically to John, then walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* John watches, then eyes Shiva in fear.
* Chad`Winters shifts his body sideways and throws up his arm, grabbing onto her forearm and pushing it off to the side. He pulls back his other hand and drives his fingers for right under her ribs, going to grab them and throw her by them
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva narrows her eyes as she walks away, she then turns to face John, crossing her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces and hits the ground, obviously hurting.
<Michiru> <Terra> *calls security, making damn sure they know that Id started this*
* Seraphna pats Michiru assuringly on the head and continues on.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains to get up.
<DeathStar> <John> I...was just taking her out as a friend, Shiva.
* Michiru looks a little relieved
* Chad`Winters glances over at Terra. 1"You'd lie to protect her, huh?"
<Michiru> <Terra> "Who's lying?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet.
<Chad`Winters> She threw the first punch. Simple as that.
<Michiru> <Terra> "You think that was that start?"
* Chad`Winters hooks his leg around another chair and kicks it backwards towards Cheryl as she gets up
<Michiru> NRP: the start
* Seraphna ducks out of sight and slouches against a wall, closing her eyes, a tear drooping from them down her cheek.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl throws up her arm, the chir impacting. She winces.
<Chad`Winters> Words are words, anyone can walk away from them. 6He reaches over grabbing a full bottle of beer from a patron and turns, hurling it towards Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl catches it.
<Seraphna> <Sis...?>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <... yeah?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes at Chad again, having recovered.
<DeathStar> 6* Hotaru would get the security report - Cheryl vs. Id
<Michiru> <Terra> "Yeah, keep telling yourself that."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Maybe you have, but why should I believe her intentions for as noble as your's claim to bE?
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes the security report. "OH THANK GOD A BAR FIGHT." 6He run off.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *hurries off*
<Seraphna> <Give the kid a hug for me when she gets home... or have Em... she'll need it... sorry...>
* Chad`Winters grabs the back of a barstool and spins around, aiming to swing it at Cheryl as she get's close.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <... later. Or Em. Security detail now.>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *passes the message onto Em, despite her player not being around*
* Seraphna stands, looks at the report and sighs silently, heading through a service exit into Engineering.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is forced to dodge.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva looks over at Michiru. 6"You better hope I'm your mother..." 6She turns and walks off, obviously pissed.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Barfight. Id's causing trouble again.>
* Chad`Winters kicks off the floor and throws a jab aimed for her shoulder again.
<Seraphna> <Who woulda guessed...>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit in the shoulder, actually letting him hit - so she can throw a punch for his ribs.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *hurries to the scene*
<DeathStar> 6* John hurries along, being stopped to help an old lady pick up her groceries.
* Seraphna sighs and turns, heading for the bar.
* Chad`Winters is nailed in the ribs, apparently he's not wearing his tact suit. His face tenses in pain then a smile appears and he drives his other hand intoer her other shoulder, aiming for another nerve cluster.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl headbutts.
* Chad`Winters 's head snaps back and he stumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bites for his throat.
* Chad`Winters swings for an uppercut, aiming to hit her in the throat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit, making a gurgling sound. She throws a kick for his balls - no more Ayas for this fucker.
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn arrives outside the bar finally.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *arrives at around the same time*
* Chad`Winters swings his left foot back, shifting his stanc causing her leg to slam into his thigh. He then swings his leg back in, driving his knee otwards her knee cap.
* Seraphna walks in, rubbing her shoulder, she stops and watches. <...What did he say?>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "Id. This ends now."
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl is hit and falls to a knee, panting. She strains to move her arms.
<DeathStar> <John> Holy hell.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "If you don't stop, I'll have to make you."
* Chad`Winters stands there, breathing heavy. 1"She started it, I only ended it."
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *summons her scythe for emphasis* "Not what I heard."
<Seraphna> <Doubt that...>
<Chad`Winters> Ask any patron who threw the first punch.
<DeathStar> 6* The patrons, huddled in the corner, turn slowly to eye the team
* Seraphna looks around at the patrons.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Because that's always the start of a conflict..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lowers her head, letting blood drip from the cut in her head. She seems to be using this moment to get her arms movnig again
<DeathStar> <Patron> Um, the scary lady smashed the man's face into the counter five times.
<Michiru> <Terra> *snorts, eyeing Chad* "I'm so glad that you're keeping up Janus morals..."
<Seraphna> <Ask em what he did to deserve it.>
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "What did he do?"
* Seraphna gets a dark look, Id's disgracing Janus now eh?
* Chad`Winters 's seems to be holding his stance, not moving dropping his guard as he stares down at Cheryl as bloody drips from his face and to the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's arms suddenly spring, aiming for Chad's throat.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Oh, constant insults, death threats, that sort of thing."
<DeathStar> <Patron> I have no idea--there she goes!
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* John rushes over and grabs at Cheryl with his right arm, tightening his grip on her shoulder, using metal aganist - well, Dragon.
* Chad`Winters grabs Cheryl's arms as they wrap around his throat.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *moves to grab Id*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll kill you. 6She promises him.
<DeathStar> 6* John yanks her away, motioning for Hotaru to get between Cheryl and Id
<DeathStar> <John> Alright, Cheryl, cool it off. Cool it off. 6He yanks her back, only to get nailed in the balls. He whimpers.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *pulls Id away* "Little fucker."
* Seraphna watches, unless ordered it's bad for an engineer to get involved in security.
<Chad`Winters> I feel like pressing charges.
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls, uttering vile Ridarium curse words.
<Seraphna> <He's gotta take those charges to Ariel... technically.>
<Seraphna> <Ooo she's pissed.>
<DeathStar> <John> Cheryl's an member of Earth. Meaning, ... Cassandra handles them.
<Seraphna> <...Can he hear me?>
<DeathStar> NRP: Fuck
<DeathStar> NRP: I forgot that hsit
<Chad`Winters> View the video camera feed if you have to.
<DeathStar> NRP: We'll say John just said Cass will deal with it
<Chad`Winters> NRP: John's jus that smart
<DeathStar> 6* John yanks her. "Come on, scary Dragoon lady, to the brig. I think you need some cool off time with Juan."
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "Isn't it Ariel's business?"
<DeathStar> <John> Dragoons are members of Earth, so it's Cassandra's decision, as the Captain. I'm sure she'll drop the charges.
<DeathStar> 6* John ynaks Cheryl out, who keeps cursing, unaware of what's going on with her fate
<Seraphna> <I'll tell Mom...>
* Chad`Winters scoffs. 1"Is that how things work around here? Do as you please and dont' worry about the punishments?
<Seraphna> <You handle Id.>
<DeathStar> <John> Hota, get the camera disc.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "Anyone but Id, I'd have said no, but... anyone but Id, she wouldn't have flipped like this."
<DeathStar> 6* John struggles with Cheryl.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "Shouldn't I do something about Id...?"
<DeathStar> <Patron> WEll, thank god SHE's gone.
<DeathStar> <John> If she threw the first punch, he had a right to defend himself. 6He notes darkly.
* Seraphna gives them a look then turns, heading for Ariel's room.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> "... ugh." *lets Id go, and grabs the camera disc*
* Chad`Winters reaches for his wallet and pulls out a small wad of creds. He tosses them onto the counter. 1"A round for the patrons, Terra."
<DeathStar> 6* The patron seems to accept this wonderfully.
<Michiru> <Terra> "..."
* Seraphna buzzes Ariel's room, hoping someone's around.
<Michiru> <Terra> *hands out drinks, wondering if she ruined everything, or saved Cheryl's life*
<Michiru> NRP: Ariel is asleep, at a guess.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah, asleep. Drugged out on radiation treatment drugs
<DeathStar> 6* John puts Cheryl into the cell with Dias, then walks out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances over at Cherl. "...." 6He then looks around then looks back at Cheryl again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the bars, still cursing at John, specifically now.
* Seraphna sighs and leaves a message for her through the comms unit and steps out, not wanting to wake her. <Mom's asleep...>
<DeathStar> 6* John steps out, rubbing his face. "Chriiiiist. Why couldn't have Id been muted all day?"
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Yeah... it'll have to wait.>
<DeathStar> 6* John calls Peace. "You might, in an hour, want to treat a patient in the cell. She might rip your face off right now."
<Seraphna> <We should bring her a beer or something... how do you appease her anyways?>
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> <John> How'd you guess?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs a hand through her red and blonde hair, then kicks the bars and yells more vile things about Id and what she'll do to every Cran on the planet. Even the dead ones.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "The description. I don't know many people that.. forceful."
<DeathStar> <John> I imagine she's a tiger in bed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What the hell happened?!
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Too scared to find out?"
<DeathStar> <John> Fuck yeah.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *laughs a bit, but not mockingly* "I don't blame you there."
<DeathStar> 6* John buys Shiva some flowers and hurries off to find her
* Chad`Winters turns walking off and out of the bar. He wipes some of the blood out of his face, only to have it pour out again
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl breaths through her nose. It's clear she got her ass beat, but she appears willing to beat anyone's ass who messes with her. She sizes up the big muscled man in the back of the cage, who looks away
<Seraphna> <God John is WHIPPED, by the way.>
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...Oh shit. 6He turns on his cot and faces the wall
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Oh? Who managed that feat?>
<Seraphna> <Shiva.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally sits down by the bars.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Impressive.>
<Seraphna> <Who else could... I mean... mister free spirit, and he's afraid to stand up to her...>
<DeathStar> 6* John knocks on her door.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Cheryl could, but... I don't see them getting together.>
<Chad`Winters> 6There's silence.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes and bangs her head against the bars a few times.
<DeathStar> <John> Shiva? Please open up. Pleeeeeaaaase?
<DeathStar> <John> I bought you lilys!
<Chad`Winters> 6The door opens up and there stands Shiva, an angry look on her face.
<DeathStar> 6* John jerks back, holding up the flowers. "I honestly had no intentions of sleeping with her."
<Seraphna> <Kinda worried there... I mean... Michiru being Shiva's kid? That sounds scarey... *she's of a tone that she's trying to comfort herself over something*>
<Chad`Winters> 6She grabs the lily's and shuts the door.
<DeathStar> <John> See you tomorrow! 6He calls through the door
<Chad`Winters> 6The door opens up and she grabs John, yanking him in.
<DeathStar> 6* John wiggles his eyesbrows and is out of sight
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Oh, you found out who the mother is then?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spits up some blood, finally having calmed down
<Seraphna> <No, but... ...hmmm it's something we shouldn't dwell on.>
* Chad`Winters steps into med bay and moves over to Peacemakers front desk.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Alright.>
<DeathStar> 6* The other prisoners check out Cheryl, the only female in the cell.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and slugs the closest one.
<DeathStar> 6* The man howls in pain and runs off. Cheryl opens her eyes
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "... hello Id."
* Chad`Winters stands there in a blood soaked shirt as blood pours from his forehead.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "I expect you want looking over."
<Chad`Winters> Either you stich me up or I'll do it.
<Seraphna> <It's wierd... I feel driven to let that kid live a happy life...>
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances back over at Cheryl. "So what happened?"
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Well, it's my job." *goes to fix up Id*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm going to kill Id. 6She says simply, her face already showing no signs of color.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Me too..>
<DeathStar> (nice)
<Michiru> NRP: AHHH DEATHSTAR APPEARS!
<Michiru> NRP: * Darien appears in medbay and beats on Id
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Because....? 6He looks at her confused, obviously not sure who Id is.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chad. I'm going to kill him. 6She promises him in such a calm, rational voice, it almost seems insane.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh.....No you're not.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. I will. 6She closes her eyes, a smile on her face.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah...I think you've lost a lot of blood.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm going to put him in a coma first. And then I'll do a dance on his body and sing a song. Then I'll kill him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah...you definetlly lost of a lot blood.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Or he beat you....
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> God I'm glad I gave up now. 6He lets out a huge sigh of relief.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes. There's no humor in them. "He's a monster and I will kill him."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at her, obviously a concern on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sucks her teeth, clearing her mouth of any remaining blood, and seems to be waiting for a moment for someone to make the mistake of releasing her
* Seraphna stops by Dom's, leaning against the wall outside his door, debating on talking to him.
* Chad`Winters just stands there as he's worked on, little pain reflecting on his face
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans against the doorframe, his hand shaking. "So, Id, picked a fight again."
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Are you surprised?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren, studying him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm surprised that he made such a poor mistake of a target. You think this will end with you and her patched up?
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> "Warren. You're not ready to walk around like that yet. You're still recovering."
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping out, he leans on his cane, dressed in what appears a hospital gown, his eyes locked on Chad.
<Chad`Winters> It'll be interesting to see how our new captain handles this, no? 6He stares back at Warren, his eyes going wide as he studies him deeply.
* Seraphna sighs and leaves him a message asking when he's available again, and heads to her room.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You'll be dead before she can get involved.
<DeathStar> 6* He turns, and moves back into his own room.

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070221.log'
<DeathStar> 6* John hits the button to let Cassandra, in her ready room, know someone is there. Mainly, him.
* Cassandra` reaches over to hit a button on her desk, opening the door for John.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps in, holding a report in his hands. A security camera disk in the folder as well as he moves over, sitting down. "We had an incident about three hours ago." 6His hair is ruffled, from wild sex. "I got this report done as soon as I, uh, could manage."
<Cassandra`> Let's have it then.
<DeathStar> <John> A little over three hours ago, Id verbally provoked Dragoon Alpha Cheryl, and she proceeded to beat his face into the bar counter five times. A fight broke out afterwards before a security team could stop it. What Id said couldn't be picked up on the cameras, but it is clear that Cheryl landed the first blow - all five of them. And now Id is pressing charges against her. She's currently in the brig, and refusing medical treatment.
<Cassandra`> I see.
<DeathStar> <John> This falls under your decision authority on what to do with her. Or, you could turn it over to Ceres, since she's the main Earth representative, or to Ariel, since she's the dragoon representative.
<Cassandra`> Well...first...I want Chad...Id...whatever..confined to quarters when off duty..for his own safety, of course. As for Cheryl... *crosses her arms*
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, jotting down that order.
* Sera|WorkingCabbit is now known as Seraphna
<Cassandra`> Now then...from reports I've read, Cheryl's behavior has been erratic if late, has it not?
<DeathStar> <John> She spends most of her time drinking. I've tried to access her military files, from the Ridarium War, but they're locked out. Warren might know more, though
<Cassandra`> Hmmm... *clicks on her console and tries to access the files in question*
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, the classified military files are locked out.
<DeathStar> <John> Technically, if Warren put them there, with the rank of Captain, you could - should - be able to open them with your rank authorization code.
<Cassandra`> Let's see then... *tries a captain's override of the lock out*
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, it unlocks the file, and brings up Cheryl's file. And, it's a heavy file. Cheryl's Ridarium kill numbers are ridiculously and effectively high, and it seems she was primarily used in major battles where tons of fighting was involved. The perfect killing machine. Her file, though, indicates her performance went lackluster after the death of a civilian during a colony attack by the Riadariums
* Cassandra` continues reading, cross referencing the civilian in question.
<DeathStar> 6* The civilian in question: Sharon Renolds. She was engaged to one Warren Carmichael. Her death was an accidental death by Cheryl while battling one of the larger Ridariums. Afterwards, Cheryl's perfect kill record began to go down, until finally she was weeded out of the program for the Betas at the close of the war. Once the Dragoons were pulled out of the military, Cheryl never reapplied.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm...
<DeathStar> <John> *whistles*
<Cassandra`> What do you know about the emotional maturity of the dragoons?
* Ariel finally heads to the brig herself, as it would be rather silly if all the people tried to reach her, and no one left a message. She can be a sound sleeper at times, especially after radiation poisoning.
<DeathStar> <John> It varies from dragoon to dragoon, I can tell that much from my interactions with them. Cran had the humor of giving them each different personality and training. Cheryl, it would appear, was his weapon of destruction. His "Go girl".
<DeathStar> <John> Hotaru, on the other hand, is more reserved.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the brig, still beat up, with a cut on her head that's given her blonde hair a rusty color now. She eyeballs the other prisoners, and has gotten a corner to herself.
<Cassandra`> And for such destruction, would you say more passion or emotion was needed in Cran's eyes?
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know. But watching this video, I saw only anger in her eyes. She acted like Id was a Ridarium target. I think she aimed to kill him.
<DeathStar> <John> And after all he's done to her family, I can't say I disagree with her.
<Cassandra`> Mmm-hmmm...I want to see Warren Carmichael.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, hitting his datapad, then shoots up his eyebrow. "Wow."
* Ariel stops in front of Cheryl's cell, silent.
<DeathStar> <John> Warren's in medical bay. He's in post-op surgery.
<Cassandra`> Hmmm?
<Cassandra`> Is he still out?
* Seraphna descides not to make a noise, sitting in the dark down the hall from the cell. Not that she can make much noise to begin with.
<DeathStar> <John> He's awake. Though I don't think he'll be walking up here any time soon
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tilts her head back, as if sensing Ariel.
<Cassandra`> Then I'm going on a field trip. *stands up*
<DeathStar> <John> Want company?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yo.
<Cassandra`> I think for this, some things he wants to keep private will remain private. *moves to lock the file again*
* Ariel nods slowly, "I heard what happened."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders, glancing away, as if not wanting to look Ariel in the face. "I got angry."
<DeathStar> <John> Understood. 6He stands up.
<Ariel> "You shouldn't have done that.... even if he deserved it."
<Cassandra`> For now, keep Cheryl confined. *slips on her hat and then heads out of her ready room*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I should have done more. He deserves to be dead. Zephyr still doesn't leave her room. 6She notes sourly.
* Seraphna looks down, closing her eyes, that'
* Seraphna looks down, closing her eyes, that's part her fault too.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *follows the others to the brig*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays on the bed, bouncing a ball against a wall and catching it. His hand keeps shaking.
* Cassandra` walks into post-op...
* Ariel shakes her head. "I don't think killing him would change that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren immediately stops and goes to rise, as if on instinct, then pauses. "I would get up, but the doctor would be angry."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It'll stop him from doing it again. He put you in a coma, he used her. You think he's just gonna stop, Ariel? 6She gets up, gripping the bars. "Get real."
* Seraphna hits her comm, "...She's right Mom... he won't stop."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks her head toward the source.
<Cassandra`> I'd like to have a little talk...
<Seraphna> "...Sorry I didn't get her down here sooner Cheryl... I didn't want to wake her."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What can we do?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Let me guess. Id and Cheryl. 6He notes. He seems all business again, despite the fact his hand won't stop moving - obvious signs of detox and withdraw.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do nothing. I'll handle him. 6She notes, her eyes moving back to Ariel.
<Seraphna> "...Nothing, Cheryl's fate hangs on Cassandra right now, with luck she'll turn her over to Ariel."
<Seraphna> "...If she turns her over to Ceres, I will have a word with her."
<Cassandra`> Precisely.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... do you think they'll ignore it?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> What do you need to know?
<Cassandra`> Sharon Renolds.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, leaning her head against the bars
<Seraphna> "...Let's see, dedicated protector of Ariel or notorious conspiritor who nearly destroyed the ship a few days ago?"
<Ariel> "Cheryl, they'll likely have you left in here, as long as you're thinking like that. And I don't think I could honestly disagree."
* Seraphna sighs silently.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up at Ariel. "Weeks. Months. I can wait."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Ariel.. how would you deal with Id?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren plays a perfect blank face, though his hand opens and closes. "My fianace. I was suppose to meet with her, but a battle broke out on the colony. Cheryl was the only dragoon there and was sent to deal with the invasion force. In the battle, she accidently crushed Sharon. She died.
* Ariel considers a moment. "I'll speak to Warren and Cassandra. Warren's opinion still carrys weight, even if he's not an officer. And Cassandra is the captain." She considers, "I could confer with John as well, but I have a feeling his opinion doesn't amount to much for his posistion."
<Cassandra`> Afterwards, Cheryl's efficiency in her assignments went down. Guilt?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He looks up at the ceiling. "I don't know. I found it easier just to hate her all the same. Guilt didn't remove what she took."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'd like to think that John already understands the situation..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Looking back, it is possible. 6He looks at Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Warren would just love to airlock me. 6She notes softly.
<Ariel> "Warren isn't blind. I'll speak to him all the same."
<Cassandra`> Hating is easy.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. It is. Cheryl is fiercely protective of what she considers her family, Cassandra. Chad's hurt two people she considers part of that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods, looking tired now.
<Cassandra`> Which brings up the question...what did Id say to provoke her...?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Id is a master of hitting people's buttons. My guess - he references her weakpoints. Perhaps he thought she would get all softy and weepy. His mistake.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If I had to guess, it was either about what he did to Zephyr or Ariel.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *just looks concerned*
<Cassandra`> Regardless, Id has been confined to quarters...for his own safety.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It won't stop her, if she gets it in her head to kill him.
<Cassandra`> That was with quotes around.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Don't worry. He'll be dealt with."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods.
* Ariel offers a soft smile, "Cheryl... I'm not condemning you for your actions. I agree, something needs to be done. Just not that it was the way to go about it."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *nods in agreement*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her, and one would almost think there was a look of affection. "We all have our ways with handling things."
* Seraphna looks thoughtful
<Seraphna> "...I've been wondering what to do about Id myself..."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'll make sure he's dealt with properly."
<Cassandra`> I'm not ready to throw the book at Cheryl. Our situation doesn't give me that luxury. We need all hands. However, discipline and cohesion does need to be maintained.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *sounds a little pained*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm sorry I couldn't have got there sooner.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl has purposely avoided rejoining the military. There's a reason for that. My guess is the only reason she is on this ship is to protect Ariel and the other Dragoons. She's a weapon, Cassandra. And if you turn on a weapon, you have to be ready to see where it fires.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I doubt even Ariel knows in what ways and areas of combat Cran trained her dragoons. For example, Zephyr looks 15. She wasn't designed for military battles.
<Cassandra`> I'm well aware of that. During the war, I too was a weapon...though not so dramatic as Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, but can you hold yourself back, Cassandra, when you're in a battle? Or do you only see your target in black and white?
* Seraphna walks over and looks at Cheryl, honest concern on her face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what do you want, runt? 6She comments, eyeing her
<Seraphna> "...I won't let anything happen to Ariel while you're locked up in here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just cocks her eyebrow, and says nothing at all to that.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *seriously* "... if he tries anything like that... I'll kill him myself."
<Cassandra`> I stopped being a weapon long ago. Now, I'm a leader.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And that is why you are different from Cheryl.
* Seraphna nods a bit and turns away, "...I think we all would."
<Cassandra`> Why did you allow Cheryl's placement on board?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods his head. "Because she would die before she would let Ariel die."
* Cassandra` nods...
<Cassandra`> Thank you for your time.
* Ariel smiles a little, and shakes her head. "It's a sad state of affairs that I have no choice by to rely on you all, if I was to need protection." She's saying nothing bad about their abilities..
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course, Captain.
* Cassandra` leaves...
<Cassandra`> *comm* Commander McCormick?
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his comm. "Yes, Captain?"
<Seraphna> "...You should rest Mom, you're still recovering."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes, I agree with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks pained at having to say that.
* Ariel shakes her head, "Standing here isn't too strenous for me."
<Cassandra`> *comm* Cheryl is to remain confined for the time being.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods. "Understood, sir."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I guess so... but take it easy anyway."
<Seraphna> "...All the same... don't like the idea of you down in this cold brig when you could be in a warm bed."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
* Seraphna grins a little at the cornines of her line, but it's true.
<Seraphna> *corniness
<Cassandra`> *comm* What are the housing arrangements for the dragoons currently?
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls it up. "Hotaru and Em are roomed together ni a family room, due to their pilot nature. Ariel has her own diplomatic room. Zephyr and Cheryl have separate civilian quarters."
<DeathStar> 6* Cherly leans on the bars, using them as a means to keep herself standing. It's hard to tell what she
<DeathStar> 6* Cherly leans on the bars, using them as a means to keep herself standing. It's hard to tell what she's thinking
* Ariel looks a little light headed a moment, then steadies herself. "Maybe... I should go sit down. Is there anything I could do for you, while you're in there, Cheryl?"
<Cassandra`> *comm* Set up a meeting with Ariel. I need a longer term solution than keeping her caged.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get me my cigars?
<DeathStar> <John> I will do that. 6He begins to put in the request to Ariel.
* Cassandra` heads to the conference room.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'll go." *goes to get the cigars*
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's datapad beeps with the request to meet the Captain.
* Ariel smiles, "I'll see what I can do." She starts off, casually looking at her datapad as she walks. She sighs. They couldn't even give her time to sit down. She invites John and Cassandra to meet with her in her quarters, since she needs to be off her feet about now.
<DeathStar> 6* John redirects Cassandra to the diplomatic quarters. "The ambassador requests you meet her in her room. I think she's still ill from the radiation."
* Seraphna smiles a bit nervously to Cheryl, "...Be well..."
<Cassandra`> *comm* On my way. *heads to Ariel's quarters*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Sera, not returning the smile. But she doesn't reach out and grab Sera either
<DeathStar> 6* John heads down for the diplomatic quarters.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *grabs the cigars, and heads back*
* Ariel makes her way back to her quarters, and flops weakly into the large reclining chair she's obtained. She gets out her datapad again, and sends a request that a nurse look to Cheryl's injuries.
* Seraphna takes this as progress and heads after Ariel.
* Cassandra` arrives at Ariel's door.
<DeathStar> 6* John arrives at Ariel's door.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> *passes Sera on the way back, then gives the cigars to Cheryl* "Did Ariel head back already?"
* Seraphna catches up to Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. 6She takes her cigars, then sits down, tiredly, and unwilling to stand up now. "Keep an eye on Ariel and Zephyr for me, Hota."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Of course." *smiles a bit* "Take care of yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* She puts a cigar on her mouth, raising a brow at the prisoners who look at her cigars longingly, as if baiting them to try to take them
<DeathStar> 6* John buzzes. "The Captain is here."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "See you later." *heads off*
* Ariel looks up at John's voice, "Come in."
<DeathStar> 6* John motions Cassandra to go first.
* Cassandra` nods and enters.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps in after her. "Ariel. Are you feeling better?"
* Ariel offers a feigned smile, "I'm still recovering, but much better."
* Seraphna is apparently there, being quiet.
<Cassandra`> Good. We are here to discuss the situation with Cheryl.
* Ariel nods, "I thought as much. The issue with Cheryl and Id is not something that can be ignored."
<Cassandra`> Quite. And I'd rather have a longer term solution than just keeping them locked up.
* Seraphna chooses not to speak up, she's good at that.
<DeathStar> 6* John cups his hands together behind his back.,
* Ariel considers a moment, "Honestly. I believe Id is the larger concern. He nearly destroyed the ship, took one of the crew as his puppet, and just now incited this incident with Cheryl. And this is only counting the recent issues."
<DeathStar> <John> He's getting bold. 6He agrees. "However, we have the problem of 2 dozen witnesses watching Cheryl beat his ass. He might make a play for civilian sympathy."
* Seraphna shakes her head, unaware that the law was a diplomatic process...
<Cassandra`> Additionally...he still has information that we need...even though I'd like to lobotomize the part of Chad's brain that he comes from...
* Seraphna taps her comm, "...If I may...?"
<Ariel> "He maliciously indangered the life of every being on this ship. That's a crime that usually warrents a military execution. I am not concerned about civilian sympathy."
<DeathStar> <John> And I nearly got 5 people killed. Where is my execution? 6He notes stiffly.
<Seraphna> "...Id isn't a part of Chad's brain... it's the other way around... technically..."
* Ariel sighs. Those two incidents aren't even comparible.
<DeathStar> <John> I disagree. Id endangered the life of Zephyr and Serena, and Warren. If we're going to try him for anything, we have to try all guilty parties equaly.
<DeathStar> <John> Where do we draw the line?
<Seraphna> "...Intent..."
<Seraphna> "...You didn't intend to put everyone in danger..."
<DeathStar> <John> But I did. Did Id intend to put everyone in danger, or did Warren force his hand?
<Seraphna> "...Id has confessed to it..."
<DeathStar> <John> Id confessed to manipulating Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <John> But is that enough to kill him?
<Seraphna> "...Depends on who you ask..."
<Cassandra`> Ahem.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Cassandra.
<Cassandra`> Again...I reiterater...right now...Id...has information concerning the runes that we uncovered that could very well be vital to both our mission and our survival.
<Ariel> "Assuming he doesn't kill us all first."
<DeathStar> <John> It would be hard to fly this ship alone.
<Cassandra`> Exactly...he needs us to survive as well.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs his eyes. "So, what, we keep Cheryl locked up until Id's no longer useful?"
<DeathStar> <John> Can't you order her not to kill him, Ariel?
* Seraphna looks to Ariel, knowing full well the only two Dragoons not under Ariel's direct influence are herself and Zephyr.
* Ariel rubs her head. "Prehaps. Though, who says she'd listen."
<DeathStar> <John> ... Well, what can we do with her? In your opinion.
<Ariel> "Cheryl has a strong sense of justice... seeing it perverted by Id isn't going to go over well with her."
<DeathStar> <John> Then we'd have to keep her in the brig. And no one wants that.
<Cassandra`> My concern is how she carries herself...her behavior could be considered self-destructive.
<DeathStar> 6* John raises a brow, glancing at Cassandra.
<Cassandra`> She drinks excessively...she smokes alot of cigars. Honestly...smoking shouldn't even be allowed on board a space craft...
<Ariel> "You want Cheryl to play nice? Understandible. But you won't do so and ignore the one who continually tries to subvert or destroy this crew."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blows smoke at the prisoners.
<Cassandra`> But anyway...that type of behavior...I've seen it in war veterans suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome.
<DeathStar> <John> Cheryl has post traumatic stress syndrome?
<DeathStar> <John> She always seems so ... .. emotionless.
<DeathStar> <John> And scary. Not a Setsuna scary, but scary.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *smirks, between drinks in the bar*
<Cassandra`> Well, I cannot divulge the source of the trauma...but it has all the signs.
<Alicia> <Terra> *glances at Setsuna*
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Ariel to see what she thinks of Cheryl's condition
<Ariel> Setsuna> *shrugs* "Funny thought."
<Alicia> <Terra> "Oh?"
* Ariel nods slowly. "She has been seeming to do worse lately... but there's nothing I can do while she's locked away."
<Cassandra`> As I said, I want to let her out...but given the situation...can you take responsibility for her? I'm keeping Id confined to quarters.
<DeathStar> <John> Personally, I'm more afraid for the prisoners the long we leave her locked up. It's like 10 men with one woman.
<Ariel> "I cannot simply agree to that unless I know Id will be dealt with in some manner. Not just confined to quarters."
<Cassandra`> There is little choice in the matter for the time being if we all want to get though this alive.
* Ariel rubs her head, "I will speak to her, and give you my answer."
<DeathStar> <John> We should probably give her a few days to cool off. Right now she'll be more disagreeable.
<Cassandra`> I will sya this...she needs help. Just leaving her on her own will only cause things to get worse. I've seen in alot...
<DeathStar> <John> The nurse I sent to her was told to shove the needle where the sun don't shine.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods at Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, we'll get out of your hair. 6He nods, stepping out.
<Cassandra`> Have a good evening. *leaves as well*
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel and Sera are alone now.
* Ariel sighs and holds her head after they leave, considering aquiring some of Warren's pain killers
<DeathStar> <John> I'm going to go get some rest. I say we give Cheryl a 24 cycle to cool down. Maybe 48. Depends on if the prisoners are left in pieces
<DeathStar> 6* John heads for his room.
* Cassandra` nods and goes her own way
<DeathStar> -End-
